Sen. Durbin (D-Ill.) last night and today is once again using his leadership position to make false claims about E-Verify’s reliability and to project the absolutely foolish notion that unemployment and immigration have no relationship.

Congress and the Administration still plan to go through with a program that every fall, in effect, takes 50,000 U.S. jobs and raffles them off to foreign workers on pure chance. Never mind that 14 million unemployed Americans are looking for a job. If that doesn’t make any sense to you, get passionate about Rep. … Continued

The intellectual bankruptcy and juvenile morality of trendy open-borders clergy is on an embarrassing public display during events marking the first anniversary of ICE raids of the Postville, Iowa kosher meatpacking plant.
