John, a member of both NY ICE and the Republican Governors Association, went to the RGA’s annual meeting held in Orlando, Florida earlier this month.

Congratulations to Robert Bentley!

Congratulations to Robert Bentley!

As well as the legislature of the state of Alabama, for enacting what is now being called the “toughest” immigration enforcement law in the country.

Americans Win!

Americans Win!

Conversely, you could say that the Chamber of Commerce and ACLU have lost, and lost big-time. Overall, it was a very good day for the Supreme Court of the United States, or as law nerds like to call it, SCOTUS. However, it was an even better day for Arizonans, and for those of us...

Coming Home

Coming Home

One of the most frustrating aspects of being part of the immigration enforcement and reform movement is the inertia that seems to develop over the course of time.
