| Asked to explain the immigration reform plan that a group of eight bipartisan senators will unveil today, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told ABC News‘ Sunday Martha Raddatz, “It’s not that much different from what we tried to do in 2007.” And he’s right, its not. Both plans grant immediate legalization to all non-criminal illegal immigrants in the country today. Both plans grant citizenship to illegal immigrants in the country today after they jump through a series of hoops. Both plans promise a new employment verification system. Both plans promise more border control spending.

Another RINO who should have been thrown out. And these maroons think that the hispanics will vote for them if they give them keys to the house? They want the same "free stuff" the other free-loaders want.

Spot on poster 1. Rinos are delusional if they think a GOP cave on amnesty will garner one hispanic Republican voter. The most recent waves of illegal aliens operate somewhere between no loyalty to this country and resentment of it. Assimilation is a myth. Mexicans are the largest entitlement class. Gimme gimme gimme more free stuff.

Immediate citizenship to any non-criminal illegal immigrant! Since being here illegally is a crime (?), that leaves them all out of luck, right?

A. Does anyone believe that illegals who are convicted of crimes are going to be deported? "We can´t break up their families." "They served their time and have not committed a crime in past 10 days. Isn´t that enough for you?"
B. The Supreme Court ruled in 2000 that aliens, illegal or legal, who commit rape, murder or other serious crimes cannot be held beyond their term of imprisonment if their home country will not accept their return. Instead, these violent criminals are freed into our society. Are they to be given citizenship? Worse, will they be allowed to wander about our country?
C. Finally, why do we care so much more about 11 million+ illegals than Americans who cannot find jobs?

Sen. Marco Rubio’s chief of staff Cesar Conda went on a Twitter spree this morning, insisting that the best way to evaluate immigration reform is through “dynamic scoring,” and noting that some “ignore [Jack] Kemp’s teachings” when they cling to static scoring. In other words, Conda is arguing we shouldn’t just look at the costs associated with immigration reform, but also factor in ex ante benefits.Rubio spokesman Alex Conant explained it this way: “This legislation will create millions of new taxpayers,

President Obama´s decision last year to allow young people living in the U.S. illegally to stay and work marked the biggest shift in immigration policy in decades, hailed as a landmark step toward the American dream for a generation of immigrants. But months later, many immigrants are having vastly different reactions to the change depending on where they live, and they aren´t flocking to the program at the levels the government originally expected. A handful of Republican-led states are blocking basic benefits for those in the program, denying beneficiaries identification cards, driver´s licenses,

Work is starting on a project to stabilize the banks of the Santa Cruz River from Ajo Way to Silverlake Road. The river and surrounding parklands are home to regal horned lizards and other uncommon kinds of reptiles and toads. (Snip)The plan is to collect certain species, hold them in specially designed corrals during construction, help them get re-established in their renovated home when the time is right and then monitor their survival.

On Easter Sunday, Google is honoring the birthday of the late labor organizer Cesar Chavez by placing a Chavez portrait within the middle “o” of the Google logo that appears on the homepage of the popular search engine. While Google frequently decorates its logo to celebrate various holidays and special events, it is unclear why the company chose specifically to honor Chavez’s birthday, instead of Easter Sunday. Chavez co-founded the organization now known as the United Farm Workers union (UFW). He became an iconic figure in the labor movement, with his stature only increasing since his death

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

Amid all of the very real threats of war and stuff from North Korea, you´d think American intelligence officers want as much video footage of the enemy as possible. Well, here is one video featuring North Korean exercises and Kim Jong-Un holding a gun, and we´ll say this: they certainly get points for presentation.
