Not a day goes by these days that I don’t hear more about Senator Marco Rubio’s immigration plan and get asked my thoughts on it. The plan is just that — a plan. To my knowledge there is no legislative language yet. But from what I have heard I like the plan with some reservations. I am to the left of many of RedState’s readers | Read More »
I don’t speak for all conservatives, but most every single conservative I know will gladly settle for Mitt Romney and support him over Barack Obama. Even the conservatives I know who right now are saying they could never support Mitt Romney will . . . when push comes to shove . . . support Mitt Romney. The issue is that most conservatives, myself included, don’t | Read More »
Out in Washington State, illegal aliens are canvassing for Patti Murray. That’s right — they are going door to door encouraging people to go vote and vote for Patti Murray. It is not illegal for illegals to go canvassing, other than the part about them being illegal in the first place. But it is rather indicative of the stark differences between Rossi and Murray on | Read More »
“Lindsey Graham …. just wants to save himself by looking like he is doing something without actually doing anything.” I have spent a lot of time on TV and radio this week talking about amending the 14th Amendment to deal with birthright citizenship.

They all take | Read More »

Kobach is a law professor at the University of Missouri and helped put together Arizona’s immigration law. You know that law right? The one a majority of Americans agree with? Well, to heck with tenure, folks are out to get Kobach. Chris Salazar, UMKC alum, said, “As an | Read More »
A riot broke out in Arizona during a protest of Arizona’s new immigration law. The rioters were against the immigration legislation. They began rioting when a single, solitary person showed up as a counter-protest in favor of the immigration legislation. The counter-protestor had to be escorted away by police for his own protection. I suspect were these tea party activists, the major networks would make | Read More »
Roll Call reports the Democrats intend to bring up immigration next year as a big fight leading into the 2010 elections. Their approach will be predictable — support extended family immigration, amnesty for all illegals, and no input from the GOP. Lindsey Graham is no doubt beside himself with delight over this one. This got me thinking though. The GOP is said to be absolutely | Read More »
