Obama Bashes Americans to Immigrants

Immigrants are better than Americans, in part, because they know they must get involved in progressive politics, President Barack Obama told a group of selected immigrants Tuesday.

Refugee Crimes Demonstrate the Security Risks of Migration

There will be no meaningful vetting of the Syrian migratory tide, as our own Homeland Security apparatus has admitted to Congress. In fact, we’ll be lucky if the majority of them are Syrians. False claims of Syrian origin are the hottest ticket in Europe right now, backed up by a thriving black market in forged and stolen identity papers. The growing revolt among state governors suggests the American people want to slam on the brakes. It remains to be seen if this will be more than a temporary pause in the project, if indeed the Administration can be persuaded or coerced into slowing down at all.

Obama’s Secret Migration Plan: Work-Permits For Millions of Foreign Professionals

President Barack Obama’s deputies have drafted a new amnesty memo that would quickly allow employers to get work-permits for a huge number of lower-wage foreign graduates. If approved by Obama, roughly 3 million guest-workers, students and migrants — including perhaps 1.5 million college-grads — would be immediately eligible for the work-permits, at an up-front cost of only $580 per foreign hire.

Trump Walks Backs from Low-Immigration, High-Wage Plan

At the CNBC’s primary debate, Donald Trump walked away from two critical elements of his immigration policy by downsizing his proposed U.S.-Mexico border wall, and by disavowing his prior commitment to curb corporate use of foreign university graduates.

PBS Documentary: Paul Ryan’s Secret 2014 Amnesty Plan Halted at Last Moment

Paul Ryan and Florida GOP Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart had gradually persuaded a majority of GOP legislators to back a still-secret bill that likely included Ryan’s top priorities — amnesty for nearly all the 11 million illegal immigrants, plus a mechanism to allow companies to hire an unlimited number of foreign workers in place of Americans, including the 4.4 million Americans who turn 18 each year.

Jeb Bush Gets Trumped; Now Claims To Back English and American Culture

Jeb Bush is trying to turn on a ten-centavos coin. Well, let’s say he’s turning on a dime. Last week, he was doing what he’s been doing for many years — praising imported diversity, lauding migrants’ Latino culture and happily chatting to voters in Spanish. But on Monday, he suddenly announced that he likes Americans’ evolved common culture and wants a common language, presumably English.

Jeb Bush’s Coming-Out Campaign for His Own Identity

One-time frontrunner Jeb Bush had a very underwhelming performance during the second Republican presidential debate. He fumbled well-rehearsed attack lines and displayed a forced grin through most of the three-hour extravaganza.

Selfish Genes, Altruistic Politics, and the European Migration Crisis

Immigration debates are heavily infused with this politicized notion of selfishness. It’s built into the common smear of “nativist” directed at anyone who wants border security and citizenship laws taken seriously. A “nativist” is a selfish person who wants to lock the deserving poor of other nations on the other side of a border fence, instead of “sharing the wealth” of his own prosperous society. “Compassion” demands open borders and mass migration from impoverished countries into rich ones.
