The Boasberg boomerang: He inadvertently led Trump to a court that may expedite deportations

by

Sometimes a swamp critter acts too smart for his own good. And so it goes with the Dishonorable Judge Jimmy the Geek Boasberg, who mocked the Department of Justice in a hearing on March 21, 2025, in which the ACLU claimed that the government violated a previous order by Boasberg not to deport 100 members of the Venezuelan gang TdA.

Yes, we disagree with Democrats, but I never thought that they could be this stupid

It has been said that presidential candidates like to pick vice presidential running mates who will not overshadow them, and such is frequently done by picking running mates who are dumber than them. Yes, I know: I have used that opening line before, and yes, I used it in reference to Governor Tim Walz of …

The Clash Over Immigration, Part 6

by

The Bipartisan Pattern of Inaction Welcome to Part 6. Parts 1 through 5 traced immigration history from the 19th century through the Johnson administration when our modern-day immigration system was established.

US State Department Begins Dismantling International Birth Tourism Networks

Even before six SCOTUS justices caved to the mob, giving America a ruling which will expand “Birth Tourism,” the US Dept. of State started dismantling multiple “Birth Tourism” networks operating across Europe & Africa. These operations helped foreign nationals fraudulently obtain visitor visas to give birth on US soil.

The Clash Over Immigration, Part 5: Inside the 1960s Mosh Pit

by

In the Clash Over Immigration, Part 4, we examined the collision of the 1) Hart-Celler Act, 2) cancellation of the Bracero program, 3) birthright citizenship, and 4) powerful factions driven by competing, narrow self-interests. This was the turning point for both legal and illegal immigration that is essentially in place today. As such, it is important to stop and record observations before moving on to the next chapter. While others may connect the dots differently, these are my observations.

Our great neighbor to the north is a virtual paradise, or so they would have us believe. Free health care, though you have to wait in months-long lines, strict gun control, way better airports than some of the ones Americans have, Air Canada rather than Delta or United, beautiful, wide-open vistas, across their frozen fruited …

The Clash Over Immigration, Part 4: When Shortsighted Policies Collide

by

The immigration debate has become so politically charged it is difficult to discern the facts through the rhetoric. Competing influence campaigns project an image of tireless and appropriate effort on our behalf. Yet we cannot help but wonder if their efforts are on our behalf or theirs. Since past motivations speak to the veracity of current promises, we must strip away the layers of misleading rhetoric to determine the truth. A clear examination of immigration history is the solvent we need.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo wasn’t really concerned about legality until it seemed like he would get caught!

by

The credentialed media rarely tell us outright lies, but sometimes you have to look pretty closely to find the parts they don’t want for you to know. From this morning’s Philadelphia Inquirer:

Getting ‘legal status’ in America is harder than most people think. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed by ICE before he could.

A resident of the U.S. for 35 years, the construction worker was fatally shot by ICE agents while still trying to navigate the nation’s arcane immigration system.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was killed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents Tuesday in Houston. He arrived in the U.S. from Mexico 35 years ago, built a construction business, and became one of five people killed by federal agents carrying out President Donald Trump’s plan of mass deportation.

Consequently, the historical record helps us interpret today’s heated immigration debates and chart a course forward.

Washington’s Revolutionary War flag

by

On July 2, 1776, the Continental Congress met in Philadelphia to formally vote to declare independence from Great Britain. The vote of the states was 12 yes, 0 no, and 1 abstention. New York failed to vote because its delegates claimed they lacked direction from their state government.

Why do I pay $6.99 a week for a newspaper that hates our country?

My digital subscription to The Philadelphia Inquirer hits my bank account for $27.96 every four weeks, or $363.48 every year. The City of Brotherly Love is where the members of the Continental Congress met and finally declared our independence from King George and Great Britain 250 years and one day ago. Yet our nation’s third …

The Open-Border Funding and Facilitation Network for Mass Illegal Immigration, Part II

by

A deliberate, multi-layered system was assembled over decades by the Democrat Party and its various allies and dramatically expanded between 2021 and 2025 through which U.S. taxpayer dollars, recycled foreign contributions, and dark-money campaign finance were deployed to facilitate mass illegal immigration, entrench the illegal alien population against removal, and sustain the political coalition responsible for building the system in the first place.
