Oppose Intro 656

New York State continues to be at the forefront of the open borders effort to systemically dismantle what little immigration enforcement and border control this administration exercises. As most of you know, our governor has barred local jurisdictions from cooperating with the federal government under Secure Communities. Now, the pandering politicians on the New...

Jamiel’s Law in 2011 (Listen Now!)

I’d like to introduce you to a voice that the open borders left has tried to silence through a campaign of demonization and vilification.

Secure Communities Under Attack

Secure Communities Under Attack

The assault against Secure Communities continues apace, as we learned yesterday from the Los Angeles Times.

Criminals and Illegal Aliens

Criminals and Illegal Aliens

 Not surprisingly, most mass immigration advocates like to cloak their advocacy for the dissolution of this country’s borders in gradiloquent rhetoric and misleading euphemisms.
