Yesterday, the federal government fired its starter’s pistol and began the race for the coveted and relatively rare H-1B visa. This year, our government will allow 85,000 people to work in the United States on these visas. Last year, if you waited longer than 2 1/2 months to apply one, you were out of luck. […]
I’m not looking to start a conversation on immigration reform here. Wait, that’s not entirely true. I’m not looking to be part of a conversation on immigration reform. I don’t believe it’s possible to have such a conversation without buckets full of acrimony and more strawmen than Barack Obama in a press conference on the […]
In the last debate, Rick Perry trotted a giant strawman onto the debate stage in Florida, lit it on fire, and danced around it like he was an extra in a remake of The Wicker Man. I spent a couple days trying to figure out why he’d launch such a knuckle-headed attack against at least […]
The DREAM Act, which would have provided de facto amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants died in the Senate today, which is good for all of us. We simply can not ignore our own laws, especially immigration laws, and hope to keep our nation intact. I feel for those people who were brought here illegally […]
It’s not enough that the tainted blood of Dick Cheney flows through the pure veins of the Obamessiah, but now this? How much more can one man endure? Do Sarah Palin and President Obama have anything in common? You betcha. The Tea Party darling and frequent critic of the President are actually cousins, albeit, 10th […]

The brouhaha over the Arizona immigration law continues as the forces of Those Who Do Not Read meet the general public who, interestingly enough, seem utterly unmoved by the squawks of the aforementioned Know-Nothings. The latest argument against the law is that enforcing a set of long-standing and very public laws will actually make crime […]
For over a month, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has patiently endured a series of ignorant attacks from various high-ranking officials of the Obama administration against the immigration law she signed and continues to support. I say ignorant because not a single one of those officials who have been flapping their jaws about the law have […]
I’m sure this Arizona Sheriff is nothing but a ginormous bigot who wants to round up all the Mexicans and put them in cages suspended over tanks full of ravenous sharks but let’s take just a moment to examine one thing he had to say before we consign him to the Outer Hell of Racist Mexican-Haters. Last […]
There is a lot of misinformation flying around the internet and the television airwaves about Arizona’s new immigration-enforcement law. Here are some of the things I’ve heard, or have been told, in the past two days. AZ police officers can approach anyone they want and demand “papers” from them. AZ police officers now have a […]
