It was brought to my attention today that Pres. Trump made a strong, clear statement on the campaign trail in 2016 about when he would entertain consideration of any amnesty for special categories of illegal border crossers and visa overstayers.
In 2014, Rep. Dave Brat (R-Va.) may have saved the nation from a gigantic increase in legal and illegal immigration when he defeated House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in a Primary election. Now, he is again trying to rescue the nation from the destructive inclinations of most congressional leaders.
The U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee has approved mandatory E-Verify many times. But it has never reached the House floor for a vote.
So, what makes the committee's passage of another mandatory E-Verify bill on Wednesday night any more likely to succeed?
The Tillis-Lankford SUCCEED Act is pretty much an amnesty-business-as-usual bill that rewards past lawbreaking without reducing the lawbreaking in the future.
A new national poll of "likely midterm voters" finds 55% of them favoring a bill that "would allow immigrants to bring in their spouse and minor children but would end migration of extended family."
Let's cut through confusion and distortion to see what Pres. Trump's DACA plan would do. There will not be a 6-month delay in ending the amnesty program as some have reported. No applications for renewals will be accepted after Oct. 5, and most young adult illegal aliens will not be able to apply for anything after today. Take a look at the details.
Immigration-expansionist Sen. Jeff Flake revealed today in the New York Times that illegal immigration and reliance on foreign labor was an integral part of his childhood experience.
He recounts a touching relationship growing up with one illegal worker and argues that America needs more immigrants like him who know little English and have little education. I don't doubt Sen. Flake's heart-felt good will toward the foreign workers on the family ranch. But personal sentimentality alone does not make for a just or rational public policy. The RAISE Act does.
Two of the three winners in Alabama's U.S. Senate primary elections Tuesday pledged to voters during the campaign that they will support immigration actions that are at the heart of the congressional RAISE Act.
We've been contacted the last 24 hours about whether Pres. Trump is breaking his very clear campaign promise that he would end Pres. Obama's executive temporary amnesty called DACA (for illegal aliens who arrived here as children).
Ever since Donald Trump nominated Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) to be the next Attorney General, all of us immigration reductionists have been wondering who could pick up his baton and truly lead the Senate fight AGAINST immigration expansionism and FOR less immigration.
