Is #PerryFail the Hot New #tcot Hashtag?

Rick Perry is already in a hole over his immigration policy, but he keeps on digging: “Are we going to kick these children over to the curb and say you cannot have access to college? Because the fact of the matter is there’s no way they could pay the out-of-state tuition.” Once more, Allahpundit wields [...]

Border Wars in … Boston?

Peter Ingemi reports this scoop: BOSTON – On Monday, September 26th at noon in Room 222 of the State House, a bipartisan and bicameral coalition of legislations will announce the filing of a comprehensive illegal immigration bill directed at enhancing the safety of the Commonwealth’s communities and the protection of taxpayer dollars. And his reaction: [...]

Buzzard Bait: Rick Perry’s Immigration Blunder Took Him From Hero to Zero

Donald Douglas at American Power links an important story from the Los Angeles Times: Perry has “a surprisingly tin ear” on the immigration issue, said Tony Fabrizio, a Republican strategist who is unaligned in the presidential contest. To most Republicans, denying tuition subsidies to illegal immigrants “is a question of fairness,” said Fabrizio. He added [...]

Palin’s Pressure on Perry

Writing about yesterday’s Sarah Palin rally in Iowa, I mentioned the theory that “Palin may enter the 2012 field because of her dissatisfaction with Perry’s campaign.” I resisted the temptation to examine the theory at length, because I wanted to discuss something I’d seen earlier — Dan Riehl’s discussion of the Palin-Perry issue: For her [...]

Surprise: Philly ‘Sanctuary’ Advocates Don’t Like Reporting Illegals to Feds

Mike in Ardmore tipped me to this story from Philadephia: Outside the Immigration Court building at 9th and Market Streets on Wednesday, about 100 demonstrators knelt on the sidewalk in memory of recent deportees, whose names they wore on string-and-paper necklaces. It was just one stop in a mile-long walk to increase public pressure on [...]

Governor Brewer Responds To White House Amnesty Grant With Wild. . .No, Not Enthusiasm

by Smitty Via Townhall: The Obama administration cannot get its amnesty schemes through Congress, so now it has resorted to implementing its plans via executive fiat. There’s simply no other description for today’s announcement that the federal government will not pursue the deportation of individuals who are in the country illegally but meet certain criteria. [...]

Chris Matthews: Exceptionally Idiotic

I’ve been sitting here with MSNBC on my office TV and have twice today seen a particular “Lean Forward” promotional spot in which Chris Matthews uses the phrase “American exceptionalsm” in a way that is both wrong and tendentious. Strangely, this MSNBC spot isn’t available on YouTube, and some Birthers have claimed it was taken offline [...]

Bad News, America: NASCAR Is Now Allowing French-Canadian Drivers …

… Good news? She’s a smokin’ hot brunette: Next month, Quebec native Maryeve Dufault will attempt to qualify for the NASCAR Nationwide Series NAPA Auto Parts 200. The race will be Saturday, August 20th at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve road course in Montreal. This will be Dufault’s first race in the Nationwide series. Dufault, 29, [...]

More Honest and Interesting Than Whatever Obama’s Gonna Say on TV

Because I refuse to watch Obama’s phony primetime TV speech, and figure you don’t want to watch it either, here’s a three-minute video press release about a proposed independent conservative film: They’re trying to raise $130,000 to turn that into a movie, so go check ‘em out and see what you think. Whatever you do, [...]

Krikorian on Cain, Islam and Immigration

Mark Krikorian semi-disagrees with Herman Cain: If a large and growing Muslim population represents a threat to liberty — and I believe, with Cain, that it does — then that’s yet another reason to reduce future immigration. But once you admit people, we’re bound to judge them individually, by the same yardstick we use for [...]

Our Criminal Media

Michelle Malkin rips into them good here: With great fanfare and elite media sympathy, Jose Antonio Vargas publicly declared himself an “undocumented immigrant” this week. . . . In the felony-friendly pages of The New York Crimes — er, Times — the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist turned illegal-alien activist spilled the beans on all the illegal IDs he [...]

Tiny Endangered Fish Hampers U.S. Border Enforcement in Arizona

When Audrey Hudson of Human Events e-mailed to ask if I’d be interested in her story about the pupfish, I sent her back a six-word message: “What the hell is a pupfish?” Here’s part of her story: Federal agents must abandon their vehicles and chase drug smugglers and illegal aliens on foot through 40 acres [...]
