Yesterday, the much heralded “day without an (illegal) immigrant” rallies occurred and about the only purpose it served was to remind people why we don’t want a bunch of uninvited illegals, rallying in the streets, yelling slogans in Spanish, waving foreign flags, assaulting the police, and demanding the right to break the law with impunity.

You know your massive illegal immigration protests are starting to backfire when even Teddy Kennedy is willing to say publicly that “the Star Spangled Banner ought to be sung in English. Period.” — Charles Johnson

What would a day without illegal aliens really be like? Let’s try to imagine it. …Hospital emergency rooms across the southwest would have about 20-percent fewer patients, and there would be 183,000 fewer people in Colorado without health insurance. OBGYN wards in Denver would have 24-percent fewer deliveries and Los Angeles’s maternity-ward deliveries would drop […]

From a letter sent out today to Julie Myers, head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Dear Ms. Myers, As you are aware, pro-illegal immigration rallies are taking place throughout the United States today. Those organizing the rallies have encouraged illegal aliens to refrain from going to work as a sign of protest. Too often, […]

Rasmussen polling put out these eye catching numbers on Thursday: The survey also asked respondents how they would vote if “a third party candidate ran in 2008 and promised to build a barrier along the Mexican border and make enforcement of immigration law his top priority.” With that option, support fell sharply for both major […]

Once again, time is running out for Andrea Clark. Starting at 12:01 AM, tomorrow, St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital has made it clear that they may pull Andrea Clark’s life support at any time after giving her family a “reasonable” notice. This is despite the fact that the family and Andrea herself do not agree with […]

There has been a lot of talk about the White House Correspondents’ dinner. Bush did a little skit with a White House impersonator which got rave reviews and Steven Colbert did a comedy routine that apparently hit a little too close to home for W.. A lot of people on the right are arguing that […]

— The economy is still rolling: “The report out this morning shows that the U.S. gross domestic product grew at an annual pace of 4.8 percent between January and March.” Too bad that high gas prices and the liberal bias of the MSM are keeping Bush from getting the credit he deserves. His perfectly timed […]

I’ve just spoken with Andrea’s sisters, Melanie Childers and Lanore Dixon, today, as well as Andrea’s lawyer, Jerri Ward. Unfortunately, St. Luke’s has reneged on the deal. Lanore told me that about 20 minutes before Andrea was supposed to be moved to the Illinois facility, St. Luke’s told the family the move was off. It […]

Tim over at Pro-Life Blogs has received the following email from Melanie Childers, Andrea Clark’s sister: Would you know a gentleman named John Hawkins (he is with Right Wing News)?

I’ve put together the best quotes from Mona Charen’s Do-Gooders: How Liberals Hurt Those They Claim to Help (and the Rest of Us). Enjoy!

“Perhaps the May 1st boycott should give America a glimpse into “A Day Without ILLEGAL Immigration.” What would that May 1st look like without illegal immigration?

1) Good Policies Are Good Politics: Too often these days, Republicans will go along with policies that are bad for the country, simply because of polling data that is, as often as not, heavily slanted towards the Democrats. But, what they forget is that the new media may not be as big as the liberal […]

Illegal aliens come into our country knowing they are illegal. Why should I care about regularizing their status? I can see the (substantial) downside of it, in terms of encouraging more illegal immigration and all the social problems that attend that. But what is the upside that I should care about that supposedly outweighs the […]

Today I’m writing about oil and gasoline (er . . . petrol) prices. Just in time, Daniel Drezner asks a great question: So, here’s my question to readers… why is a spike in gas prices considered such a political crisis?

Over at The Raw Story, they’re trying to make hay with some comments Tony Snow made about racism back in 2003: “Here’s the unmentionable secret,” Snow said on an October 2003 edition of Fox News Sunday, “racism isn’t that big a deal anymore.” Snow argued that “no sensible person supports” racism, arguing that the problem […]
