The Underground Economy

The Underground Economy

A brilliant story in Commonweal today, which explores the sordid depths that certain sectors of the American economy have sunk to in our post-borders society. I can’t possibly do justice to it here, so I suggest you read the whole thing.

Political Leadership

Courtesy of  Fox News, we learn that Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli has issued a legal opinion very similar to the executive order of Governor Donald Carcieri of Rhode Island. And while SB 1070 continues to be battled over in the courts and in the media, states other than Arizona are not waiting for a ruling from the DOJ to start taking action.

Catch And Release

Yet another victim of de facto amnesty lost her life this weekend. And while open-borders enthusiasts would like to minimize the human toll illegal aliens impose on our society-or bring up the fascinating, but ultimately irrelevant, observation that there are American citizens who commit equally heinous crimes-the truth is that Carlos Montano is not a...

Oz Update

It turns out that Australia’s new prime minister is making some concessions to political reality, and has abandoned the “Big Australia” favored by her predecessors in office.

Welcome to American Rattlesnake

Today inaugurates an experiment that will hopefully mark a turning point in the debate over the intertwined issues of mass immigration and illegal aliens’ presence in our society, both subjects that have been largely ignored or obscured by the chattering class and open-borders elite which shape polite opinion.

Judicial Veto

I’ll delve more deeply into this ruling in the coming days, but for now let me summarize thusly: the citizens of Arizona don’t have a public interest in protecting their state from those who come there to knowingly violate their laws, i.e. criminals.
