Crime Prevention

In the wake of Kathryn Steinle’s horrific murder, it’s imperative that we continue to make the case for alien detention.

Independence Day

What better way to celebrate the birth of our nation than to listen to this country’s de facto national anthem up until the adoption of the Star-Spangled Banner in 1931?

South of the Border

South of the Border

To the surprise of very few, the Associated Press reports that over an 8 month period Mexico deported more Central Americans than the United States.

The Resurrection Of Zombie Trade

The Resurrection Of Zombie Trade

For the second time in as many weeks, the House of Representatives has approved fast-track trading authority for the President. Although, as we’ve pointed out repeatedly on this website, TPP has very little to do with actual free trade.
