Posted By: 4250Luis, 4/12/2026 5:36:50 PM

In the wake of President Donald Trump’s historic pledge to carry out a mass deportation program, a coalition of Republicans is promoting a bill to grant widespread amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, prompting fierce backlash from fellow congressional Republicans and the GOP base. Rep. María Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., led 19 other Republicans in the House of Representatives in introducing H.R. 4393, the “Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream Act of 2025” or DIGNIDAD (Spanish for “Dignity”) Act, in July.

No amnesty. Not under ANY circumstances. Deport ALL illegals. This means those folks roofing houses and those folks taking orders in the fast food joint. ALL illegals....GONE. None should stay. Even Stinkwell's nanny.

Some poor woman showed up at my door shilling for my local Republican representative. Unfortunately for her, I'd just read that my one-term congressman was a co-sponsor of this horrible bill. I gave her an earful about amnesty. She admitted that she'd been hearing a lot of negative comments from his constituents. She asked if I'd still vote for him, and I gave her an emphatic "no," but then said, I wouldn't vote for a democrat either in that particular race. These stupid "republicans" get in office and succumb to the "we've got to do something" about illegals, and their "solution" is some form of amnesty. Get them all out of here. I'm tired of hearing that you can't get them all out. Eisenhower did it in the 50s (Operation Wetback), so don't tell me it isn't possible. All it takes is the will to do it.

Despite control of Congress and the White House the Republicans have done nothing about fixing our insane immigration system. Very bad. Worse, the only immigration scheme to come out is this piece of garbage.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Tuesday that Iran and the United States should reach an agreement similar to former President Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal in order to make peace. “If the current efforts of the Iranian and American negotiators, which we support, result in something like the 2015 agreement, I think it would be a great success,” Lavrov said at a press conference after meeting with Taher al-Baour, the acting foreign minister of one of Libya’s two governments. Libya was torn in half and became infested with terrorists and warlords after Obama attacked the country in 2011 to change its regime.

The U.S. Treasury Department announced Tuesday that it is placing sanctions on 14 targets for helping Iran obtain weapons and contravening international sanctions. “As the regime attempts to reconstitute its production capacity, the United States will continue to deplete Iran’s ballistic missile inventories,” the Treasury wrote in a post on X. In a press release from Treasury, the 14 targets include, “individuals, entities, and aircraft based in Iran, Türkiye, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for their involvement in procuring or transporting weapons or weapons components on behalf of the Iranian regime.”

On Monday, China’s Xi Jinping let the mask slip. After weeks remaining largely absent from the diplomatic picture as the US conducted Operation Epic Fury against Iran, Xi called Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed bin Salman to publicly urge a peaceful reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. At least five Iranian-linked tankers heading from the Gulf of Oman to Malaysia have changed course after the US Navy warned that ships carrying Iranian oil would be intercepted anywhere in the world. And now, every concession the IRGC withholds costs it more than the one before. Operation Epic Fury destroyed the military capacity Iran has used to threaten to close the strait,

Jewish leaders warned antisemitism in the UK was “gathering momentum” after a projectile was thrown through a window at the Kenton United Synagogue in Harrow, north London. Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya (HAYI), an Islamist militant group, said it was behind the attack. It has now claimed responsibility for five incidents targeting Jewish sites in London, including the firebombing of four ambulances in Golders Green in March and a botched drone attack on the Israeli embassy last week. Counter-terror police believe the group could be linked to the Iranian regime and recruiting assailants online with no allegiance to their cause by using “quick cash”.

The US president's negotiations and ceasefires] are viewed by Tehran, Gaza and Beirut as infidels trying to tell Muslims what to do. For them, such a situation is unimaginable, unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand. To Iran's current leaders, whoever they are, if Trump carries out his threat to bomb the country's bridges and power plants on Wednesday, so be it. In the view of Iran's theocratic regime, none of that is of any importance so long as it survives, in any form, to be able to continue waging jihad (holy war) against its people, its neighbors and the West.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has yet to endorse a candidate in the Republican primary to succeed him—a silence that some GOP leaders say reflects his longstanding respect for Rep. Byron Donalds. During a podcast appearance with Katie Miller last week, Donalds, R-Fla., revealed that DeSantis once considered him for a top leadership role in the state party. “When Governor DeSantis was elected back in 2018, we had a conversation and he asked if I’d be interested in becoming state party chairman of Florida,” Donalds said. Republican leaders in Florida told The Daily Signal that DeSantis’ past support for Donalds may explain why the outgoing governor has declined to take sides—

A quick glance at the headlines reveals we are in the midst of one of the worst energy crises in history. Both oil and gas prices have spiked because of the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz. UK electricity prices have gone up too. This has led Ember (the same people who came up with Ed Miliband’s promise to cut energy bills by £300) to claim that renewables have cut gas generation compared to March 2021 and saved us £7 million per day. Contracts for Difference (CfDs) work by paying generators the market price for the electricity they produce plus a top up to the contract strike price.

In an unusually, but inadvertently, honest piece on the Trump Purge of the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), which oversees the immigration court system, The New York Times implied that the only way forward with mass deportations was the Stephen Miller-inspired mass public arrests—in the terminology of the immigration law enforcement professional, City Patrol and Area Control, currently called Roving Patrol. More simply, arresting illegal aliens where they appear in public: where day laborers informally congregate, where they operate public businesses like pushcarts, at bus stops,

Virginia voters on Tuesday approved a redistricting referendum that will allow the state legislature to redraw its congressional maps outside the normal cycle in a manner expected to favor Democrats. The Associated Press called the contest in favor of the yes campaign just before 9:00 p.m., with 84% of precincts reporting. As of press time, "yes" stood at just over 50% of the vote. The state currently has six Democratic members of Congress and five Republicans. The planned Democratic map is expected to produce 10 Democratic-leaning seats and one Republican-leaning seat.

One leader of the 2017 Unite the Right protest in Charlottesville, Va., received roughly $270,000 over an eight-year period. Neither that person nor others were identified in the 14-page indictment.

The famed appellate attorney and Harvard con-law professor has not just renounced his lifelong political affiliation, but Dersh has signed up for the other team. What happened? It starts with Democrats' sharp turn toward anti-Semitism with Israel as its political golem, but as Dershowitz argues, that serves more as a harbinger for a broader radicalization within the party. The catalyst came last week when most of the Senate Democrat caucus voted to withhold funds for Israel's defensive systems, where the scales fell from his eyes on the power of anti-Semites within the Democrat Party:

The only thing more surprising about the Education Department’s proposed rule on college loans is that it took this long for common sense to prevail over the interests of Big College. On Friday, the department issued a “notice of proposed rulemaking” that would, if implemented, block taxpayer-subsidized student loans for worthless degrees. To say that this is needed is a vast understatement. As it stands, there is nearly $1.7 trillion in outstanding student loan debt, and “fewer than 40% of borrowers are in repayment, and nearly 25% of borrowers are in default,” notes The Federalist’s Breccan F. Thies.
