Schumer & Clinton Stand Up For Identity Theft

Wile this legislation is part of the immigration debate it is also worded so that someone could collect Social Security by commiting identity theft. Even if they reworked the law to take identity theft out of it, how could anyone vote to table a bill like this?

Ronald Reagan on Immigration

This article is interesting. My take on this issue is that we should do the following in order:
1 - Secure our borders. Frankly I am less concerned about Schictel's migrants or the Irish bartenders but if they can get in, so can Al Quaida
2) Stop the laws that coddle lawbreakers. I believe we should provide free medical care for any illegals who are here and who need it, but all other benefits should be revoked. Send all of them home to their countries of origin.
3) Increase the number of H1-B visas granted - maybe double the number.
4) The immigrants (like my ancestors) who helped build this country had to work hard, and they had to assimilate to the American culture. Utility companies did not offer their instructions in any language other than English. We should do the same now.

BTW - the Canadian Border is just as porous as the Mexican border.

A Nice Story

We don't often get these kinds of stories from the downstream media.This story about a Mayor from Iraq is pretty moving.
