Since the Obama administration has seen fit to sue the State of Arizona and take the teeth out of the state’s new immigration enforcement law, maybe it’s time to fight fire with fire.
Since the Feds are ignoring the wishes of the majority of American citizens, who want our current laws against illegal immigrants enforced, maybe [...]

I think folksinger Woody Guthrie would be rolling over in his grave if he saw what was happening in the American Southwest these days.

Last week, Australian Immigration Minister Chris Evans announced that the country is tightening its rules to control the type of immigrants allowed in. Evans said the new policy will favor people who speak English, and professionals.  Evans said the country has been attracting too many hairdressers and cooks, and too few doctors and engineers.

I’ve been a fan of Maricopa County, Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio since the days when I published small town newspapers in the Grand Canyon State years ago.
