Legal immigration is great, but illegal immigration has to stop.
These articles below are all regarding immigration, mostly illegal immigration.
A reporter asks Press Secretary Robert Gibbs why his boss is taking Arizona to court on dubious constitutional grounds while ignoring sanctuary cities that are obviously violating federal law. Gibbs answers by not answering. What a schmuck.

Contrary to what 234 years of history may say, President Obama said Thursday that when it comes to American citizenship, “It’s not a matter of blood or birth.”
Contrary to what 234 years of history may say, President Obama said Thursday that when it comes to American citizenship, “It’s not a matter of blood or birth.”
According to the new Obama definition of citizenship, anyone – everyone, really – on the face of the earth is an American if they simply have ‘”faith” and our “shared values.”
The problem with this definition is that we know we don’t share this guy’s values and considering the fact that he sat in Reverend Wright’s church for 20 years, we’re reasonably confident we don’t share his faith.
Does that mean we’re not Americans?

Iowa Congressman Steve King has come up with a brilliant amnesty plan that even conservatives can happily endorse.
Iowa Congressman Steve King has come up with a brilliant amnesty plan that even conservatives can happily endorse.
The Denver Post has details:
Northern Colorado residents gathered in support of Arizona’s new immigration law at a 9-12 Movement rally Saturday afternoon.
Iowa Congressman Steve King and former U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado headlined the “United We Stand Behind Arizona” event, which drew more than 100 people despite only two days’ notice.
…King said that under only one circumstance does he support amnesty for illegal immigrants: “Every time we give amnesty for an illegal alien, we deport a liberal.”
Seems like a fair trade. We’d even go 2-for-1 on Nancy Pelosi.

Surely, the good people of New Mexico, lead by liberal Governor Bill Richardson, will put out the welcome mat at the Arizona border and greet their newest residents at the state line with champagne, confetti and welfare checks.
Consider this a textbook case of cause and effect.
The cause: Conservative Arizona passes its new anti-illegal alien law.
The effect: Said same illegal aliens immediately pack their bags and move next door to liberal New Mexico.

That cloud of dust you see over the Sonoran Desert was caused by Arizona’s Democrat politicians distancing themselves from President Obama as quickly as possible.
That cloud of dust you see over the Sonoran Desert was caused by Arizona’s Democrat politicians distancing themselves from President Obama as quickly as possible.
The Hill reports the details:
Arizona Democrats facing tough reelection races are distancing themselves from the Obama administration as it prepares to file a lawsuit against the state over its controversial immigration law.
Rep. Harry Mitchell (D-Ariz.) on Monday sent a sharply worded letter to President Barack Obama urging him not to sue.
I believe your administration’s time, efforts and resources would be much better spent securing the border and fixing our broken immigration system,” the two-term congressman wrote in the letter. “Arizonans are tired of the grandstanding, and tired of waiting for help from Washington. … [A] lawsuit won’t solve the problem. It won’t secure the border, and it won’t fix our broken immigration system.”
Two words: Adios, amigos.
When (not if) Obama follows through with his threat to sue Arizona, Arizona’s Democrats will become as endangered as the blackfooted ferret. (Yes, we looked it up. The blackfooted ferret is on the list of endangered Arizona species.)

We paraphrase: “That anti-illegal alien law might be ok for a state like Texas that sits right on the Mexican border, but not for Arizona, which is, like, nowhere near the border.”
We just wish the camera had shown West’s face when her fellow supervisor cut her off and guided her back to reality.
¡Ay, caramba!

Department of Labor Secretary Hilda Solis has upped the ante. She’s created a Public Service Announcement, at your expense, to promote this important message: illegals in America may be unfairly paid. The PSA even includes a phone number for these poor, exploited workers to call and report their racist employers. Again, at your expense.
Come on now, who says the Obama Administration is not doing something about the illegal immigration problem? From sending 1200 troops to desk jobs somewhere near the Mexican border, to suing Arizona for complying with federal immigration laws, you can rest assured that our government is working on behalf of the American people.

Here’s an interesting video clip that demonstrates the lengths to which President Obama will go to pass what is laughingly called “comprehensive immigration reform.”
Here’s an interesting video clip that demonstrates the lengths to which President Obama will go to pass what is laughingly called “comprehensive immigration reform.”
Arizona Republican Senator Jon Kyl told a North Tempe Tea Party town hall meeting that during a private tête-à-tête in the Oval Office, President Obama told him, “The problem is…if we secure the border, then you all won’t have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform.”
The Tea Party crowd was shocked. You can hear their gasps on the video (at 3:45).
“In other words,” Senator Kyl said, “they’re holding it hostage. They don’t want to secure the border unless and until it is combined with ‘comprehensive immigration reform.’”
Bottom line: The illegals are crossing the border. Obama’s crossing the American people.
Poor Ed Schultz. He’s dumbfounded, astounded, horrified that the liberal media hasn’t been able to stir up more opposition to the Arizona illegal immigration law. Guest John Feehery is forced to slap Schultz’ face and try to bring him back to reality.
Every poll shows that an overwhelming majority of the American people approve of Arizona’s new illegal alien law. And a new Qunnipiac University poll found 48% of registered voters nationwide want similar laws passed in their states.
Poor Ed Schultz. He’s dumbfounded, astounded, horrified that the liberal media hasn’t been able to stir up more opposition to the law. Guest John Feehery is forced to slap Schultz’ face and try to bring him back to reality.
Schultz: The numbers are out right now. It’s pretty amazing, as much discussion and negativity that has been out there, the majority of Americans think the immigration law that’s passed in Arizona is good…and also a majority of Americans want to see their states pass something similar.
Feehery: Hey Ed, this is a surprise to nobody except maybe you, and maybe the administration.
The political class (and its MSNBC apologists) are out of step with the American people. Of course, Schultz would say it’s not just out of step, but out of goose step.
‘Cause, you know, we’re all Nazis. Or something.

Holding a pair of deuces in a race-card game to inflame the legal residents of the country, Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) called Arizona’s new anti-illegal alien law the product of “white supremacist groups.”
Holding a pair of deuces in a race-card game to inflame the legal residents of the country, Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) called Arizona’s new anti-illegal alien law the product of “white supremacist groups.”
The San Gabriel Valley Tribune reports Sanchez’ ill-advised comment:
“There’s a concerted effort behind promoting these kinds of laws on a state-by-state basis by people who have ties to white supremacy groups,” said the lawmaker, who is of Mexican descent. “It’s been documented. It’s not mainstream politics.”
Based on that comment, would it be wrong of us if we demanded to see Linda Sanchez’ documents? The ones that tie the Arizona law to white supremacist groups, that is.
And while we’re in a demanding kind of mood, there’s one other thing we’d like to demand. Take a look in your own back yard, Linda, and speak to the family of Jamiel Shaw.
The innocent teen was killed in Los Angeles in 2008 by an illegal alien gang member who had been recently released from jail. Jamiel’s family supports the Arizona law.
And we think they might have some serious trouble joining a white supremacist group.

Those intrepid, unbiased reporters at the Los Angeles Times have done it again. They call a 7% difference in opinion on the Arizona law “closely divided”, but heralded Barack Obama’s identical 7% margin a “decisive victory”.
Those intrepid, unbiased reporters at the Los Angeles Times have done it again. And we quote:
California voters are closely divided over the crackdown on illegal immigration in Arizona, with sharp splits along lines of ethnicity and age, according to a new Los Angeles Times/USC poll.
Overall, 50% of registered voters surveyed said they support the law, which compels police to check the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally, while 43% oppose it. That level of support is lower than polls have indicated nationwide.
So now the Times calls a 7% difference “closely divided”, but heralded Barack Obama’s identical 7% margin a “decisive victory.”
Of course, the Times poll surveyed registered voters, so we can safely assume that a poll of likely voters would have skewed even more conservative and increase the margin of support for Arizona’s law.
Interestingly, the staff and management here at IHateTheMedia.com is “closely divided” on the Los Angeles Times. 50% of us think it should be used to wrap fish, but 43% think it should be used to line bird cages.
But please keep in mind that we only surveyed registered voters, not likely voters.

IHateTheMedia.com has created Mexicano Masks™ designed to help legal American residents leach off the welfare system, overwhelm our public schools, overrun emergency rooms, crowd our criminal justice system, swamp our jails, and work without paying taxes.
Last week a Florida advertising agency created Gringo Masks designed to help illegal aliens pass as legal American residents.
Now IHateTheMedia.com has created Mexicano Masks™ designed to help legal American residents leach off the welfare system, overwhelm our public schools, overrun emergency rooms, crowd our criminal justice system, swamp our jails, and work without paying taxes. After all, who wants to look like an oppressive, racist gringo when there are so many reasons not to?
The Mexicano Mask™ was not created for profit, but as a way to show support for and to give a face to SB1070, Arizona’s new anti-illegal alien law.
“When we first heard of the law in Arizona and the effects it could have in terms of racial profiling, we at IHateTheMedia.com discussed what we could do about it, since we have access to media,” a spokesperson for the popular website said. “How can we address the issue, but do so in a creative way while at the same time delivering a message?”
With traditional marches, rallies and “buycotts” already in full swing, Mexicano Masks™ are another direct way of getting the message across.
“The spirit in which we conceived Mexicano Masks™,” the spokesperson continued, “is definitely to offend people. The time for dialogue is long gone.”
It’s fun and easy. Just click to download (male or female) the Mexicano Mask™ of your choice by clicking on the links at the bottom of this story. Print at 200 dpi. Cut out the eyes. Put it on. ¡Chingon, cabrón! You no longer look like a racist, oppressive Norte Americano.
It’s easy to send your friends here so they can go Mexicano, too. Just give them the URL, MexicanoMasks.com, and they’ll land right on this page.

President Obama’s promise to put 1,200 new troops on the border is as empty as the national treasury. Turns out those troops won’t be used to stop the flow of illegal aliens.
AFP has a full report on Obama’s empty promise:
US National Guard troops being sent to the Mexican border will be used to stem the flow of guns and drugs across the frontier and not to enforce US immigration laws, the State Department said Wednesday.
The clarification came after the Mexican government urged Washington not to use the additional troops to go after illegal immigrants.
President Barack Obama on Tuesday authorized the deployment of up to 1,200 additional troops to border areas but State Department spokesman Philip Crowley told reporters, “It’s not about immigration.”
He said the move was “fully consistent with our efforts to do our part to stem, you know, violence, to interdict the flow of dangerous people and dangerous goods — drugs, guns, people.”
He said the extra troops would be used to free up civilians engaged in support functions so that law enforcement personnel can be increased along the 2,000-mile-long (3,200 kilometer) border.
How can you explain Obama’s constant kowtowing to the president of a corrupt third world country against the overwhelming opposition of the American people?
Felipe Calderon must have photos of Barack Obama in compromising positions with farm animals. It’s the only possible answer.

“…it violates the spirit of our own Constitution. So, you know, we had a tragic history in this country. The most shameful parts of our history were when we had our slave trade, when we, when we, the Trail of Tears, what we did to our Native Americans. And, you know, the proudest moments in our history are when we had the Civil Rights Act, when we moved forward on integration and expanding the opportunities for all of our citizens.
“So, this idea of, you know, racial profiling, takes us backwards and really goes to the worst character of our nation and it’s, it’s demeaning to our country that we would move in that direction. It’s beneath us as a people.”

Dolce & Gabbana has nothing on Biden & Pelosi when it comes to the latest fashions. The Vice President and the Speaker of the House are now sporting colorful new bracelets to protest Arizona’s anti-illegal alien law.
HotAir.com explains that this new liberal fashion trend was developed by California Democrat Congressman Joe Baca:
As part of his general boycott of Arizona — which includes his refusal to fly through Phoenix on his weekly trips to and from Washington — Baca, D-Rialto, is distributing wristbands inspired by the Lance Armstrong LiveSTRONG craze.
Baca put in an order for 2,500 of his version, which will be red, yellow and blue — the colors of Arizona’s flag — to be worn as a show of solidarity against the controversial law…In Washington, Baca has gotten House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and most members of the Democratic leadership to wear them, as they did — along with golfing legend Chi Chi Rodriguez — at a recent fundraiser for Baca. Baca said his office is fielding calls from people inquiring how they can get one of the wristbands.
“Everyone wants them,” Baca said. “They’re going like hot potatoes.”
And that, Joe, is what you call a Freudian slip. We’re pretty sure Baca meant to say, “They’re going like hot cakes” because the definition of a hot potato is “A problem that is so controversial or sensitive that those handling it risk unpleasant consequences.”
With every poll showing overwhelming support for the Arizona law, these stupid wrist bands are definitely hot potatoes.

Looks like Sanchez is pretty damn smart despite going to USC.
“When it comes to politics, my candid answer is, I’m football player and it doesn’t matter what I think,” he said in a transcript provided by the New York Jets. “The most important thing is you see both sides. I haven’t read the legislature, so I won’t pass judgment on it.
“I understand both sides have a point to be made. While people coming across the border or people here who may appear like they’ve come across the border, if I said that hopefully politically correct, we don’t want to racially profile anyone, just like in an airport you don’t want to racially profile anyone. Same situation.
“At the same time, if you live in Arizona and somebody’s coming over in to your territory, it’s like, ‘What’s going on? We need some sort of rule to stop that.’ I wouldn’t pass judgment on it until I read the legislature. I’m interested in the topic, but at this point I don’t know enough about it to comment further.”
We’re not going to hold the fact that he used the word “legislature” instead of “legislation.” Because for a guy who went to USC, he seems to be pretty damn smart.

How does Mexico treat illegal aliens? Well, let’s just say they don’t get free medical care even though they may need it after the treatment they receive at the hands of Mexican authorities.

But how does Mexico treat illegal aliens? Well, let’s just say they don’t get free medical care even though they may need it after the treatment they receive at the hands of Mexican authorities.

Calderon: (Interrupting Blitzer) “No, no. If somebody do that without permission, we send back them.”

New York Times writer Julia Preston wrote about a five student sit-in at John McCain’s Arizona office. The story was deemed significant enough to include photo of the squatting students.
The New York Times routinely ignores massive conservative protests because they’re just too darn busy covering ridiculously small liberal protests.
For example, reporter Julia Preston wrote a glowing 780-word story earlier this year about a four-student march from Miami to Washington, D.C. in support of illegal immigrant students.
This week Preston upped the ante, writing about a five student sit-in at John McCain’s Arizona office. The story was deemed significant enough to include photo of the squatting students.
In an escalation of protest tactics, five immigrants dressed in caps and gowns held a sit-in on Monday at the Tucson offices of Senator John McCain, calling on him to sponsor legislation to open a path to legal status for young illegal immigrants.
Four of the protesters, including three who are in the country illegally, were arrested Monday evening on misdemeanor trespassing charges. The three were expected to face deportation proceedings.
And as if she Preston was worried that you may have missed her earlier story about the four student march, she referred back to it:
Illegal immigrant students have become increasingly public in their protests in recent months, as the prospects for an immigration overhaul faded in Washington. Four immigrant students walked from Miami to Washington, arriving in late April. So far, immigration authorities have not moved to detain student protesters.
Good lord. Why, at the rate these protests are growing, they could be up to ten, maybe twelve people in no time at all. And that’s what the New York Times calls front page news.
