Mexican Army Seize Marijuana-Hurling Catapult

Smuggling drugs into the U.S. has become such a complicated and high-tech affair, with cartels building sophisticated tunnel networks and stealthy submarines to get their goods around the watchful eye of customs and border patrol agents. But a group of Mexican drug runners recently applied an 8th-century approach to their profession, using a homemade, trailer-mounted catapult to hurl bales of marijuana over the border fence. Mexican soldiers, tipped off by U.S. National Guard troops monitoring the area with surveillance cameras, seized a few dozen pounds of marijuana, a sport-utility vehicle, and the catapult it was towing near the small town

Could We Use a Quick $75 Trillion?

Somehow, I don’t think anybody reads these signs – in English OR Spanish!!   If we collected $5,000 from every illegal that came across the border, could we even put a dent in the National Deficit? Gee, let’s see… 15 million X $5,000… Nah! That’s only $75 Trillion… but a pretty good dent. It’s a shame our politicians never visit their “secure” border. If they did, they might have read this sign and solved both our deficit and immigration problems overnight.

14th Amendment Debate "Red Herring" Politics

Why is pro-amnesty Senator Lindsay Graham suddenly pushing to rewrite the 14th amendment to end instant citizenship for the 600-800,000 illegal aliens babies born the USA annually!   For the record, this is not a new issue.  Looking into our own archives, we found a 2004 article documenting that 300,000 illegal alien babies were being granted citizenship each year back then! Over the past 20 years, U.S. Border Control worked with a small but courageous group of Congressmen who managed to introduce and support legislation and Constitutional Amendments to restore this flaw in our nation’s immigration policy to what the authors of the 14th Amendment had intended.  And year

Director Morton says ICE may refuse to process illegal aliens from Arizona

A top Department of Homeland Security official reportedly said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities. John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, made the comment during a meeting on Wednesday with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, the newspaper reports. “I don’t think the Arizona law, or laws like it, are the solution,” Morton told the newspaper. The best way to reduce illegal immigration is through a comprehensive federal approach, he said, and not a patchwork of state laws. The Arizona law, which criminalizes being
