Illegal Aliens Receive $4.2 Billion in Additional Child Tax Credits
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | September 2nd at 01:49 PM |
Throughout the entire debt ceiling imbroglio, Democrats incessantly regurgitated the talking point about the need for “a balanced approach.” They were so uniform and synchronized that they sounded like the sheep in Animal Farm. Ironically, their idea of a balanced approach was singularly focused upon Oil Company and corporate tax deductions, which are negligible compared to the crushing debt. The targeted oil tax deductions would | Read More »
I Refuse to Obey the Law
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | August 18th at 11:50 PM |
In yet another demonstration of contempt for the rule of law and the separation of powers, the Obama administration has announced that it will no longer enforce our immigration laws. Secretary of Homeland Insecurity Janet Napolitano proclaimed in a letter to the Senate that she will suspend deportation proceedings and grant amnesty to those who ostensibly fit the criteria of the Dream Act – a | Read More »
The Immigration Policy of Absurdistan: Legal is Illegal; Illegal is Legal
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | June 28th at 03:00 PM |
Imagine for a moment that a pack of strangers – ranging from hooligans to plain homeless – illegally entered your home and started raiding the pantry, stealing your possessions, stuffing up the toilets, and sleeping on your bed. When you call the police to come down and remove them, you are told they cannot assist you because they lack the power to profile the unwanted | Read More »
Supreme Court Voids Ruling Against Hazleton’s Immigration Law
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | June 6th at 04:31 PM |
It appears that last month’s Supreme Court ruling upholding Arizona’s E-Verify law will precipitate a potent counteroffensive against the illegal immigration judicial defense industry. In light of the Court’s 5-3 decision validating the right of state and local governments to impose penalties on employers who hire illegal aliens, the high court vitiated a ruling against a similar ordinance passed by government officials in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. | Read More »
Tea Party Victory Against Illegals in Maryland
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | June 1st at 08:33 AM |
Liberal politicians incessantly demagogue the issue of illegal immigration by offering a false choice between amnesty and a police style roundup of 12 million aliens. Obama believes that without a pathway to citizenship, even a moat with alligators can’t preempt illegal immigration. They always forget the third option; enforcing the laws on the books and not offering them hospitality that isn’t afforded to legal | Read More »
Joe Walsh’s Smackdown of Obama on Immigration
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | May 12th at 08:13 PM |
Like no other president in American history, President Obama supports the domineering use of government over every facet of our lives. Yet, when it comes to one of the few core functions of government, like border security and the regulation of immigration, he is suddenly tepid about asserting power. Worse, he uses the power of executive agencies to disregard and subvert immigration laws that were | Read More »
Boundless Immigration: The Silent Killer of the Welfare State
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | April 12th at 12:53 PM |
As we finally embark on the imperative discussion of entitlement reform, we cannot overlook immigration and its disproportionate effect on the welfare state. Our immigration system is stuck in the Kennedy days of the 1960′s when our population was half of what it is today. Over the past few decades, in addition to the migration of 12 million+ illegals, we have allowed legal immigration to spiral | Read More »
GAO Report: Limited Control Over our Own Border
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | April 1st at 12:00 PM |
Obama has no problem ignoring Congress to use our military on behalf of Al-Qaeda backed rebels in a country that has no interest to our security. Yet, he eagerly abdicates his core constitutional responsibility to protect our own border and sovereignty. On Wednesday, Richard M. Stana, director of homeland security issues at the Government Accountability Office, testified before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security regarding | Read More »
Haley Barbour, 2012, and the Need for a Focus on Illegal Immigration
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | February 16th at 08:22 AM |
Haley Barbour has been under fire for his stance on immigration after Time Magazine published a Justice Department filing showing that Barbour lobbied for amnesty. The filings show that Barbour was part of a lobbying team that was commissioned by the Mexican embassy to lobby for a pathway to citizenship for illegals in 2001. Here are some of the details about the amnesty provisions that | Read More »
Congress Can Implement Attrition through Enforcement Illegal Immigration Policy
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | November 15th at 02:18 PM |
The pro open borders advocates in both parties often present the American people with the false choice of amnesty or physically rounding up every last illegal alien. They assert that deportations are so unpractical and distasteful that the only way to solve the illegal immigration problem is by legalizing them. Those with some sense of sanity have always realized that the source of the problem | Read More »
House GOP: Forget About the Symbolism, Let’s go for the Meat and Potatoes
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | November 10th at 04:36 PM |
There has been a pervasive misconception that has been promulgated by those within and outside of the Republican Party concerning the power of the GOP House majority . They assert that because the Democrats control the other branches of government, there is no way we can pass any meaningful conservative legislation until 2012. There seems to be an assumption that we can only scuttle the | Read More »
Florida Exit Poll: Rubio and Scott won the Hispanic Vote
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | November 9th at 03:41 PM |
We are lectured ad nauseum by the open borders Republicans about the electoral devastation that is looming if we fail to enact an amnesty program. They assert that our strong support for borders and immigration enforcement will drive away all Hispanic voters. Well, the Miami Herald observes that not only didn’t we get swamped by Hispanics; we actually won their vote outright in Florida. Both | Read More »
The Perverse Immigration Policy of Absurdistan and the Golden Opportunity for the GOP
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | September 4th at 10:33 PM |
Over the years we have been inundated with so many absurd news stories about our immigration system that we begin to expect nothing different from our government. Let’s take a look at the perverted, unjust, and dangerous immigration-related news just from this week. While ignoring those law enforcement agencies that don’t cooperate with federal authorities, the Justice Department is suing Sheriff Joe Arpaio for being | Read More »
The Pew Immigration Study and Attrition Before Enforcement
By: Daniel Horowitz (Diary) | September 1st at 03:42 PM |
he Obama administration is breathlessly touting a new Pew Research study which shows that the number of illegal immigrants in the country is decreasing. The media is already lauding the Obama administration for its stepped up immigration enforcement which has supposedly led to this decrease in migration. The problem is that there is no increased enforcement from the DHS. Actually, they are hamstringing ICE from | Read More »
