But while ordinary gaffes are daily occurrences, witnessing a lawmaker commit an infamous Kinsley Gaffe is extraordinarily rare. The term, coined by political journalist Michael Kinsley, refers to when a politician accidentally tells the truth, specifically one they are not supposed to say publicly.
Other than “I’m asking for your vote,” no statement by a politician has been more ubiquitous in recent years than, “I’m against illegal immigration, but I’m all for legal immigration.” It’s an immigration policy slogan that many members of Congress, along with state and local officials, concocted after searching for a soundbite that they hoped would not only appeal (more or less) to everyone, but would simultaneously hide ulterior motives.
As President Donald Trump works to clean up America’s long-standing problems with illegal immigration, the entrenched forces that brought us this mess are pushing back with predictably overheated rhetoric. While that type of response is nothing new, this attempt is
The lawmaker’s journey to the Central American nation, where he was denied access to Garcia at the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT) maximum security prison, showed the disturbing true colors of anti-borders politicians: an instinct to prioritize the interests of illegal aliens over those of legal American citizens.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas gave the most revealing interview of his career recently, providing a fascinating look inside the mind of the anti-borders ideologue running the agency charged with protecting America’s borders.
As another recent jobs report showed persistent low unemployment, other data demonstrates many of these job gains are being devoured by foreign nationals at the expense of American workers.
Staring down the increasing possibility of becoming just the second cabinet official in U.S. history to be impeached, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has finally admitted that his agency is not upholding the rule of law at the border.
More than a decade after the Obama Administration promised that the Affordable Care Act would not cover illegal aliens, Joe Biden has declared that he is expanding the program to do exactly that.
Of all the institutions in our society today, few have supported the normalization of illegal immigration as much as academia. How bad has it gotten? Schools are now soliciting donors to pay off cartels that traffic their students across the border.
It t may have surprised many to learn that, yes, the Biden Administration has a limit for how much incompetence and radicalism it will accept in its agency heads.
New York City has long been considered America’s top big city in terms of population, economy and other factors. Now it has a new distinction as America’s Worst Sanctuary City, based on data compiled by the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI).
Since it assumed power in January 2021, the Biden Administration has clearly prioritized the rights of illegal aliens over those of American citizens. Attorney General Merrick Garland recently doubled down on that policy, and is now putting the safety of citizens at risk by allowing mentally ill criminal aliens to remain in the country.
Innocent Americans are losing their lives because of reckless, irresponsible immigration policies, and it is completely preventable.
Those who watched the Biden administration’s destruction of our southern border earlier this year were appalled by the images of lawlessness, overcrowding and mismanagement.
For the Biden administration and its allies on the radical left, the driving ideological force behind its rise to power has been the narrative that America and its institutions are infested with race-based extremism.
Not only does interference in our elections threaten the integrity of our elections, but it is likely to get innocent people killed.
For the last four years, obstructing presidential authority on immigration issues via the courts has been the bread-and-butter strategy of the anti-borders left.
As the media pushes the idea of a Biden-Harris administration as an inevitability, let’s play their game and look at what such a presidency would be like. What matters is what they would do on the crucial issues facing our nation. On immigration—arguably the most existential issue to our future—a Biden presidency would be nothing short of disastrous for our country.
One power Trump should implement is to seal our nation’s borders from new arrivals until employment is back to pre-virus levels.
As Jussie Smollett’s apparently fraudulent hate crime house of cards collapsed in spectacular fashion recently, it was awkward timing for the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) to release the latest incarnation of its notoriously controversial “hate map.”
The lesson is clear: even if concessions for border enforcement are obtained, they must be with a specific timeline for implementation. Handshake agreements are no longer acceptable.
No one should doubt President Trump’s resolve to stop the thousands-strong “caravan” of foreigners heading toward our southern border. What they expect to find is what previous caravans, and also unaccompanied minors and family units, have experienced.
America has been shocked and saddened by the murder of Mollie Tibbetts, but how long will it last? If the pattern of our modern media culture holds, the story will linger perhaps a week and then fade into the background in favor of the latest political scandal.
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) is leading the fight to cripple Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s “zero-tolerance” policy on illegal border-crossers.
An alarming assumption that’s preoccupied establishment news outlets since the day DACA was renounced: That a congressional amnesty of 2 million DACA aliens is a necessary and sure thing.
President Donald Trump has an unprecedented opportunity to greatly improve the lives of the working people of Mexico and Latin America. How? By shutting down former President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program on its fifth anniversary.
Last week, my organization, an immigration-control advocate, publicly released a 2016 disciplinary opinion from the Obama-era U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) officially reprimanding a Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) attorney for unprofessional and frivolous behavior in immigration court proceedings.
