for Illegal Migrants with Jobs

Original Article

A group of Florida county sheriffs on a state advisory council are calling on President Trump to ease up on his immigration policy and to create a “path to citizenship” for illegal migrants who are holding down jobs and who are not otherwise engaging in criminal activity. Despite that the sheriffs have been elected by Republicans and appointed to the State Immigration Enforcement Council by Republican Gov. Ron De Santis and Republicans, the council members are collaborating on a letter to President Trump calling for a more liberal focus on immigration policy. The call to leniency has already spurred one state official to speak out against the council.

In a word, no! I appreciate your work, LE guys, but you need to stay out of politics and just enforce the existing laws! Thank you very much!

"Illegal immigrant with jobs" The holding of a job (one that might otherwise be had by an American citizen?) does not remove the illegal aspect from the situation.

Seems a good reason to investigate the voter rolls of the counties in which the sheriffs serve.

History shows that each time the politicians grant an amnesty to millions of illegal aliens that action encourages and invites a huge new wave of illegal aliens to unlawfully gain entry to the USA to await the next big amnesty. You can imagine the flood of future illegal aliens who would gain entry to the USA if another amnesty is passed into law, and the leftist Democrats gain the political power to again “open” the borders to all comers. There is no doubt that would happen now that the leftist Democrats consider the illegal alien population to be a current and future Democrat supporting and fraudulent voting political constituency of unlimited millions of mostly poor and uneducated people from the so-called Third World, useful to permanently change the political and racial population demographics throughout the USA on into the future to the political benefit of the leftist Democrats.

Absolutely NOT. Stealing a job is no excuse. In fact, it's important to deport the job thieves.

There is a path to citizenship for them. Tell then to use it properly. Hopping the fence is not the way to go. The only thing broken about our immigration system is that everyone ignores our immigration laws.

Wasn't Sheriff Judd one of the ones we could count on for tough talk concerning crime? He must have forgotten that illegals have already committed a crime by entering the country illegally. Getting a job is a continuation of their illegal activities. Next he'll try to convince us that the drug dealing, gang banging illegals should stay as well, so he and other LEAs can keep their jobs.

Useful idiots in California want to bend the knee to Islam, removing all doubt that this state can be saved. KTXL reported on Sunday that Democratic State Assemblyman Matt Haney has introduced a bill that would officially recognize two Muslim holidays — Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha — as state holidays. Eid al-Fitr, as the BBC noted, means “festival of the breaking of the fast,” marking the end of Ramadan. Muslim community leaders commended the bill as a “historic step” in efforts to combat Islamophobia, per KTXL.

Arkansas GOP Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday that she was asked to leave a restaurant in Little Rock last week because her presence made employees and customers feel "threatened." Sanders previously served as White House press secretary during President Donald Trump's first term and has since been a supporter of the president's immigration policies. The governor said she was dining with two other moms at the restaurant, which has been identified as The Croissanterie, when the owner allegedly told members of her security detail that Sanders must leave because her "presence made their employees feel threatened."

The Democrats oppose voter ID laws and are in favor of mail-in voting, while calling Republicans fascists for not agreeing with them. However, a review of voting laws around the world shows that the overwhelming majority of countries, at least 176 nations and jurisdictions, require voter ID. Many have no mail-in voting at all, while others allow only very limited domestic mail-in voting restricted to those who are hospitalized, and no country allows illegal aliens to vote. While a small number of countries permit long-term legal residents to vote in local elections under strict residency conditions, even fewer allow non-citizen residents to vote in national elections.

Easy Way Luxury is a Miami-based chauffeur company that offers the "pinnacle of luxury and sophistication" to VIP clients "who demand the very best." One of its top customers is indicted Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D., Fla.), who has spent more than $200,000 in taxpayer funds with the firm and its owner since taking office in January 2022, House payment records show. Cherfilus-McCormick is well-versed in using taxpayer funds to boost her own standard of living. Federal prosecutors charged her in November for the role she played in an alleged scheme that saw her family-owned health care company rake in more than $5 million from fraudulent COVID-related FEMA invoices, funds which she

In 2017, the Pennsylvania Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) conned its way into the Philadelphia school system in the name of “student safety and inclusion.” CAIR then went into action and orchestrated a series of lesson plans, training sessions and workshops for students and educators that advocated the elimination of certain terms like “jihadists,” “Islamic terrorists,” or even “radical Islamic terrorists” when it came to teaching about September 11, 2001. The plan was brilliant, and the Philadelphia School District bought it lock, stock, and barrel. The teaching mantra was this: A Muslim attack in the name of Allah was not to be named Muslim or Islamic.

In 2022, a state audit of California hospice licensure and oversight found that there were “numerous indicators” that “large-scale hospice fraud” was happening in Los Angeles County. The fix was for the legislature to set up a fraud and abuse task force. Renewed reporting from independent journalist Nick Shirley shows that the fraud is "frauding" at unprecedented levels. I have my gripes with blue-ribbon commissions and special task forces in the effort to look busy, but according to my MetaCrawler AI source, Perplexity, no commission was ever established to investigate and stop the fraud. "No dedicated commission was created after the 2022 California State Auditor report on hospice fraud.

In 2022, California Gov. Gavin Newsom broke ground on the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing (WAWC), a project featuring an overpass for animals atop ten lanes of the 101 Freeway in Southern California. At the ceremony, Newsom boasted that the state had committed $54 million. He promised to “complete the job within another $10 million,” before seeming to hedge on whether that final sum would do the trick. Officials projected a 2025 completion date for the overpass, and estimated that the entire project — which includes the bridge and other ancillary developments — would cost $92 million, some of it coming from private philanthropists.

A program to provide health care for pregnant illegal immigrants in Colorado is costing the state over seven times its budget projections since it was enacted, the Colorado Sun reported. The Covering All Coloradans program, which was enacted in 2022, gave health care benefits to illegal immigrants who would otherwise have qualified for Medicaid, according to the Sun. The program was expected to cost the state $14.7 million dollars but its cost has instead ballooned to over $104 million. The program’s launch was secured in 2025 when money was appropriated by the state legislature. The state is now facing a $1 billion budget shortfall, primarily due to programs like

The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation Wednesday to crack down on illegal immigrants participating in welfare fraud despite fierce objections from most Democrats. Lawmakers voted 231-186 to approve the Deporting Fraudsters Act, with 186 Democrats opposing the measure. The bill, sponsored by Rep. David Taylor, R-Ohio, would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to explicitly define fraud as a deportable offense. Republicans said the legislation is necessary to ensure that noncitizens who steal taxpayer dollars are no longer eligible for immigration relief services or legal protections.

Given Iran’s half century of cruel barbarism in the Middle East, it’s hard to understand why the Democrats seem to be rooting for them in the current war. I have two theories. One is the obvious one. The Dems are not so much rooting for Iran, as rooting against Iran’s enemy. Bad as Iran is, its enemy is even worse in the eyes of the Dems. Iran’s enemy, you see – or at least the Dems see – has a history of its own cruel barbarism going back to at least 1619. Iran’s enemy has engaged in genocide against native people.

California lawmakers said Thursday they planned to change the name of “César Chavez Day” to “Farmworkers Day” after sexual abuse allegations against the late civil rights leader arose earlier this week. The New York Times reported Wednesday that Chavez had groomed and sexually abused young girls within the labor rights movement while he served as leader of the United Farm Workers Union. One of those women was Dolores Huerta, who co-founded the union with Chavez in 1962. Huerta came forward this week with allegations that she was victimized by Chavez in her 30s.

Diversity is our strength.’ One hears this, or myriad variants of the same idea, unrelentingly. Certainly I work in an Australian university where the extent of higher-ups pushing this notion does indeed qualify as unrelenting, even matching totalitarian state levels of propaganda. But even outside the hallowed halls of impartial, politically balanced academia (did I write that with a straight face?) the mantra or cliché that diversity somehow delivers a stronger balance sheet or a more cohesive society or just better outcomes is pervasive in today’s democracies that have committed themselves to multiculturalism and to the various neo-Marxist versions of feminism.

Roughly 200,000 immigrant truck drivers in the United States are set to lose their commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) this week under a new Trump administration rule that went into effect Monday to keep illegal immigrants off the road. Under the rule, non-citizens, including asylum seekers, refugees, and recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), will no longer be eligible to obtain CDLs, even if they are legally authorized to work in the United States. Those who already hold licenses will not be able to renew them when they expire.
