The treason bar hacks are at it again. They were wildly successful with the Obama Regime Administrative Amnesty. And now they have a plan to expand legal immigration exponentially by similar Administrative Fiat. And I don't mean that trendy little car that we see in the City frequently now.
Which is why the fate of the Assad regime [in Syria] is geopolitically crucial. ... But strategic opportunity compounds the urgency.
I see our old friend John Miano has published an incisive exposition of the revolting process by which that savage attack on the American Middle Class, the H-1B loophole , is lovingly protected in Congress:

CNN's Joe John's interviews Ron Paul and asks him the following question:
"I assume he would be interested in you trying to get you to get out of the race and throwining your suppport behind him--how likely is that?"

Twenty years doesn’t seem an adequate sentence for a death caused by drunk driving, but Judge Jon Farris thought the illegal alien killer’s apology was touching enough to merit a lowered sentence, and family tears were shed on behalf of the perp in court as well. Neither of the surviving victims appeared, who were seriously injured in the crash.

So uplifting.
Below, crime victim Sister Denise Mosier and drunk-driving illegal alien Carlos Martinelly Montano.
Montaro had two previous drunk-driving arrests in five years, but had been released from jail prior to his deportation trial, after which he drove drunk into the car containing three nuns.
The case was a big embarrassment to the Obama administration which had professed to creating an immigration system that was tough on dangerous criminals and not so hard on the proverbial busboys.

DHS Secretary Napolitano withheld records about the case which increased the suspicion that it was even dirtier than it appeared.
Plus, the DHS snooze-through illustrated how the federal government still does not regard drunk driving seriously enough to deport the dangerous foreigners who drive drunk. The agency promised to do better in the future, but that remains to be seen.

In Federale’s blog post about Alabama, below, he referred to University Of Alabama Treason Lobby economist Samuel N, Addy [Email him] as a communist, and also “Comrade” Addy, based Addy’s support for illegal immigration.
According to the elite liberal media like the New York Times, the illegal immigration invasion is over, so we can all forget about it and concern ourselves with the Superbowl, the Oscars and getting around to an amnesty for mucho millions.
The Obama Administration has leaked a bunch of memos with Obama's comments in the margins to Ryan Lizza of The New Yorker, who has written them up as best he can as a story of Republican intransigence.

Bruce Norris's corrosive play Clybourne Park, about real estate and racial replacement in Chicago, was set to debut on Broadway in April, where it was tagged as the frontrunner for the Tony Award for best drama. But producer Scott Rudin has stomped off, peeved that Norris turned down his offer of a role in something else Rudin is producing.
In the late 1980s, my wife discovered this product that made my hair look great. But, the company that made it immediately went out of business. Over time, we started to notice a pattern: whatever product I liked would quickly tank in the marketplace.
The New York Times blog, and, following, them the Atlantic are claiming that the term "self-deportation" was invented by a pair of Latino comic activists in 1994, and that when Pete Wilson and others started using it, they had been pranked by the fictional character “Daniel D. Portado,”[Message “D.

The New York Times story I linked to below, about illegals losing their jobs at Pomona College, has the story of "Carmen, 30, who asked that her last name not be used for fear of alerting immigration officials". She says that until recently, when Pomona, after 11 years of employing her illegally, started checking documents, she was earning, illegally, $17 an hour.
