Last Thursday President Obama acknowledged during his speech on comprehensive immigration reform that under Washington’s failed leadership legal immigration had become a fallacy, as we have been reporting here and here.
As the President stated, “More fundamentally, the presence of so many illegal immigrants makes a mockery of all those who are going through the process of immigrating legally. Indeed, after years of patchwork fixes and ill-conceived revisions, the legal immigration system is as broken as the borders.”
That’s right. The legal immigration system has grown into a boondoggle. For over …
This July 4, to celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the United Nations Foundation released a video inviting Americans to become “global citizens,” while pushing the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. It appears the UN Foundation is taking a page from then Senator Obama’s speech in Berlin, when he said, “But the burdens of global citizenship continue to bind us together.”
The video is called “Unanimous: What Americans say about the United Nations.” Watch it.
According to their website, the UN Foundation, is a public charity that was created in …
Tomorrow morning, July 1, President Obama will deliver remarks on the need to fix America’s broken immigration system. Undoubtedly, millions of illegal aliens, and those people who are thinking about jumping the border will be listening intently to make plans. But the largely ignored legal immigrants will also be listening in hopes for legal immigration reform. I am referring to the legal immigrants who followed America’s laws, and who have been stuck in the broken, backlogged, and dysfunctional United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) for years.
I am also referring …
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg might want to retool some of his immigration reform initiatives within his new national coalition, the Partnership for a New American Economy, and team up with Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to tell the federal government to “do their job.”
Why?
Because the Mayor’s idea to give immigrant investors green cards to create jobs for Americans already exists. It’s called the EB-5 category for Immigrant Investors. In fact, the EB-5 has been on the books since 1990—that’s twenty years. The problem is the federal government-run United …
With a stroke of a pen, will President Barack Obama deem a path to citizenship, ah hem, amnesty as the nation’s latest new law for an estimated 12-20 million illegal aliens by using his executive powers? According to Numbers USA, “a non-partisan site, that has “Democrats, Republicans, Reformers and Independents” among their “advisors” and in their “offices,” that’s precisely what seven senators are trying to find out.
In a letter sent to President Obama on June 20, 2010, signed by Sens. Grassley, Hatch (R-Utah), Vitter (R-La), Bunning (R-Ky.), Chambliss (R-Ga.), …
Here’s an advance peek at the Rolling Stone article, The Runaway General, by Michael Hastings that has rocked the Obama Administration, and more importantly, rocked the fate of the war in Afghanistan.
“How’d I get screwed into going to this dinner?” demands Gen. Stanley McChrystal. It’s a Thursday night in mid-April, and the commander of all U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan is sitting in a four-star suite at the Hôtel Westminster in Paris. He’s in France to sell his new war strategy to our NATO allies – to keep …
More than 1000 American troops have been killed in Afghanistan fighting an enemy whose ideology in part loves death more than life. With the war in Afghanistan getting deadlier by the day, freelance writer Michael Hasting’s profile, the “Runaway General,” in Rolling Stone Magazine has triggered a public relations war: the Obama White House v. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top commander in Afghanistan, after he made disparaging remarks about President Obama and other top administration officials including Vice President Joe Biden, Ambassador Richard Holbrooke, General Jim Jones and Ambassador Karl …
It was 60 years ago, in June 1950, when America’s war to defeat communism began in Korea. It was two decades later when self-described “communist” Americans — part of the Weather Underground Organization (WUO), actively worked to defeat capitalism to transform America into a socialist state. Two of those Americans, President Obama’s family friends, were William Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn. Some insights into their plans and ideology can be seen in Osawatomie, “the revolutionary voice of the WUO,” a 35-page newspaper published by WUO in 1975-1976.
