(HALT) Amnesty

(HALT) Amnesty

As those of you who’ve been followers of American Rattlesnake might know, the Obama administration’s efforts at enacting a stealth amnesty have been ongoing since at least 2010. The latest attempt to reward a broad class of illegal aliens through executive fiat involves an administrative directive issued by ICE Director John Morton which would effectively implement...

Congratulations, Marina!

Congratulations, Marina!

One of the chief misconceptions about this website, and about the broader, anti-mass immigration/border security movement, is that it’s motivated by some sort of deep-seated animus towards immigrants, which couldn’t be further from the truth. And while there might be some organizations and individuals who want to impose a permanent moratorium upon immigration, they...

High Crimes and Misdemeanors? (Gunwalking News Roundup)

High Crimes and Misdemeanors? (Gunwalking News Roundup)

Contrary to appearances, the picture above is not a photograph of the President consoling a child whose parents were killed as a result of the Gunwalker imbrogolio.

Viva Texas!

  I’m not generally a fan of Rick Perry, as most of you know, but I must congratulate him for sticking to his guns in this case. A vile, homicidal rapist won’t be able to victimize any more American citizens, and that is something to be commended.

Some of you might recall our previous action alert highlighting the plight of Border Patrol agent Jesus Diaz, who is currently facing a 10-35 year prison sentence for allegedly abusing a Mexican drug smuggler that entered this country illegally through Eagle Pass, Texas.

La Raza’s Woman Inside

It’s been brought to my attention by one of our esteemed contributors, Marion (D.S.) Dreyfus, that federal funding for the National Council of La Raza, i.e. “The Race,” a group that some would deem blatantly racist, has increased almost threefold since Cecilia Munoz, a former NCLR official, was appointed by President Obama.  Tom Fitton, the head of Judicial...
