Since I first began reporting on the crime and corruption at America’s immigration agencies, where federal officials were found to be taking bribes, be it for cash, sex, gifts, or jewelry in exchange for legal documents, the criminal activity continues.

First, I must confess, I was embarrassed for Mayor Bloomberg during his immigration reform launch that ignited speculation he would run for President because he was promoting his idea as though it were a brilliant solution when it already exists and is a failure because of a government agency. I incorrectly assumed the Mayor wasn’t aware of the EB-5 category.

Under a bombardment of condemnation, Arizona has taken action to address illegal immigration and is fighting back by telling Washington to “do your job.” Meanwhile, on Sunday President Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder said that the Justice Department was “considering” a federal lawsuit against Arizona’s new immigration law.

How did the immigration crisis occur? It happened because Washington didn’t do their job and secure the borders — and because under both Republican and Democratic leadership, the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS), formerly the Immigration Naturalization Services (INS), ran amok. …

My first article at Tucker Carlson’s new The Daily Caller.
Last month immigration reform, one of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s “10 most important legislative priorities,” took another step forward when Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) unveiled the “Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America’s Security and Prosperity Act of 2009.” Over 85 house Democrats have co-sponsored his bill.
Gutierrez’s proposed legislation includes “earned legalization” for undocumented workers including their spouses and children. A payment of a $500 fine is required and a criminal background check must be passed.
Gutierrez’s bill is not the only …

While it is no secret that America’s immigration system is broken, and this longstanding system breakdown adversely affects America’s national security and economy, the latest Rasmussen Report shows, “By a 70% to 22% margin, voters say that gaining control of the borders is more important than legalizing the status of undocumented workers already in the country.”

Judith Miller reports on the corruption within and the dire consequences to national security.

Last year, FBI officials tell me, the Bureau worked on nearly 2,500 public corruption cases and convicted more than 700 dishonest public servants throughout the nation. Most of them were unrelated to the cartels, and Special Agent Abbott, of the FBI’s criminal branch in El Paso, says that only 15 to 30 of his region’s cases so far have involved drug-related corruption among law enforcement officials. “But given the damage that can be done by just one …

Senator “Chuck” Schumer (D. N.Y.) will chair a hearing on Comprehensive Immigration Reform later today, called “Can We Do It and How?” If past is prologue, with Mr. Schumer crafting immigration reform expect amnesty and a policy that may ultimately hurt America.
Why? Because Senator Schumer’s early leadership role to fix America’s immigration system arguably contributed to the broken system that afflicts America today.
Recall it was in 1986 when President Ronald Reagan signed the far-reaching and ineffective Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Schumer, the then little known …

Since the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) Acting Deputy Director Michael Aytes attacked my credibility and my article, Crime and Corruption at the USCIS last January, he has not responded to my request for an interview. Story here. Meanwhile, crime and corruption is still, as it has been for years, a dangerous reality at the USCIS and a risk to national security. The USCIS, “as the “gatekeepers of the United States immigration system…serves on the front lines of [America’s] homeland defense,” wrote the agency’s top ranking official, Michael …

He claimed that my “article served no other functional purpose other than to tarnish the honorable reputation of our employees and associate the entire USCIS workforce with criminals.” He also claimed that my article was full of “errors” and “inaccuracies,” however he did not cite the errors, or the alleged “inaccuracies.”

If Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and thirteen other senators achieve what appears to be their goal—what amounts to amnesty is coming soon. On January 6, the “Stronger Economy, Stronger Borders Act of 2009,” S. 9, was introduced as “among the legislative priorities for the new Congress.” But thus far, the content of this bill does not reflect what its bold, tough title implies. Rather, using Vermont’s Senator Patrick Leahy’s introduction of S.9 as the barometer, the precise opposite will occur. It is a bill which would weaken America’s border …
