Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Newspapers do not usually out-and-out lie to us, but sometimes you have to look beyond what they tell you, to see what they don’t. We have pointed out, several times, that it is illegal to work in the United States unless you are a citizen or have the appropriate legal documents. In the last linked …
You know, I get it: some of our good friends on the left really, really think that the people who came to the United States seeking a better life are, at heart, good people, who should be allowed to stay in the United States and contribute to our culture, society, and economy. But even if …
The modern moral argument surrounding immigration often leans heavily on Christian language while quietly discarding Christian wisdom. Appeals to compassion are constant; appeals to discernment are conspicuously absent.

In the aftermath of two illegal immigrants causing fatal accidents while driving tractor-trailers, there are a lot of stories, mostly in social media, about increased federal commercial driving regulation enforcement, particularly along Interstate 40 through Oklahoma. Drivers are being tested for the ability to read English, which is mandatory for holders of commercial driver’s licenses …

America’s long-time comedian, Bob Hope, was born Leslie Townes Hope on May 29, 1903 in England. His family immigrated to Cleveland, Ohio, legally in 1907. Young Leslie was so eager to be an American he changed his name to “Bob” because he thought it sounded more American than “Leslie.”
