with its "guest worker" provision, the current immigration proposal now in Congress would create a 21st century version of the nation's failed bracero program in which tens of thousands of immigrants were exploited for use by greedy corporations in the mid-20th century.

The much-vaunted Senate "Compromise" on immigration is a compromise alright: a compromise of our laws, a compromise of our sovereignty, and a compromise of the Second Amendment. That anyone in Washington believes this is a credible approach to solving our immigration crisis suggests just how out of touch our political elites really are.

Labor union leaders are claiming another victory on Capitol Hill, after a Senate committee voted to block President Bush's "reckless plan" to open the U.S. border to "unsafe" Mexican trucks.

Mexican drug cartels operating in cities in the U.S. are buying up legitimate businesses to launder money and using some proceeds to win local mayoral and city council seats for politicians who can shape policy, personnel decisions, and police forces. Is this the reason border control agents must look the other way or suffer the consequences?
