Yesterday afternoon a federal judge in Texas indicated he was likely to block President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) process. The order, written by Judge Reed O'Connor, came in a lawsuit challenging DACA and prosecutorial discretion filed by nativist lawyer and Kansas Secretary of State Kris...

The time for talk is over.

Early this morning the bipartisan bill put together by the Senate "Gang of Eight" through painstaking negotiation and old-fashioned hard work was released. Whatever position you take on immigration reform the senators' bill, or the "Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration...

Yes, you read it correctly. There really is no such thing.

And not because the Associated Press announced a long overdue change to its Stylebook yesterday and will no longer use "illegal alien", "illegal" or "illegals" to describe noncitizens unlawfully present in the U.S.

It's because...

The question now is not whether, but when.

I'm talking about a major overhaul of America's dysfunctional immigration system. With Friday's agreement between the AFL-CIO and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on the terms of a guest worker program it's clear that immigration reform is going to be a reality...

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FLA) will make history Tuesday night. For the first time in the nation's history, he will deliver a response to the president's State of the Union address in two languages, English and Spanish. He is the son of Cuban immigrants and, no pressure here, considered...

There are two types of Republicans on Capitol Hill; those who are willing to forge a consensus on immigration reform for the good of the country, and those who are not. Both were on full display this week.

In a House Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday Republican lawmakers grilled San Antonio...

The president is going to Las Vegas Tuesday to bet on the American people.

He's betting that Americans are ready to fix the broken immigration system that inhibits business, hurts families, and relegates millions of mothers, fathers, and promising youth to a life in the shadows. He is betting...

It feels like déjà vu all over again.

The Congress -- in particular the Republican-controlled House of Representatives -- is unwilling or incapable to act decisively to solve an urgent issue of national importance. The president, understanding that inaction is simply not an option, uses his executive authority to put...

When immigrants enter the U.S. without a visa or overstay a temporary visa it can lead to some pretty harsh consequences. In addition to arrest, detention and deportation, a noncitizen unlawfully in the U.S. for more than 180 days can be banned from again setting foot on American soil for...

Piers Morgan won't have to pack his bags after all.

Last week the White House, speaking through Press Secretary Jay Carney, politely, yet firmly, dismissed the petition calling for Piers Morgan's deportation posted on its "We The People" page. The ridiculous petition was signed by 100,000...

Has Hell frozen over?

Why else would the anti-immigration fringe be toying with the heretical notion of "considering" some form of "amnesty" in a future immigration reform package?

In a piece published recently in the National Review, Mark Krikorian, Executive Director of the Center for Immigration...

American voters chose to renew their contract with a President whose vision of economic vitality involves three distinct pillars -- innovation, education and rebuilding of America's infrastructure. Nearly two years ago, during his 2011 State of the Union address, Mr. Obama, speaking eloquently of this generation's "Sputnik Moment,"...

It's clear from last night's debate that Mitt Romney has no plan to fix America's badly broken immigration system in a way that will secure the borders, protect American families, and keep American businesses globally competitive.

Yes, Mr. Romney repeated his talking point about "stapling green cards" to science, technology,...

"The truth shall set you free," so the Bible teaches. But Gov. Mitt Romney understands it will cost him the election.

So during last Wednesday's debate he did his best to look presidential while he spewed lies, half-truths and inconsistencies at the American people. Romney lied about his tax...

"Tell me what company you keep and I'll tell you what you are" (Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra - author of Don Quixote).

Mitt Romney's company certainly tells us who he is.

This week both he and President Obama went before Hispanic voters in a forum sponsored by Univision. Not...

As we go through life most of us are rarely present in the moment. Our minds are elsewhere. What shade of green was the tree you passed a month ago on the way to work? What were you thinking about? What did you feel? Were you sad, happy, or anxious?...

All around the country there are hundreds of thousands undocumented young people standing up to be counted. For the first time in their lives they are able to emerge from the shadows, register their presence with the Department of Homeland Security, and take their place in American society -- at...

The last I checked federal bureaucrats are supposed to implement the administration's policies, not publicly obstruct them.

So why is Christopher Crane, President of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council -- the union of 7,000 immigration agents, officers, and employees -- engaging in a pattern of open insubordination...

Next month President Obama's Deferred Action program for certain undocumented youth, who are commonly referred to as DREAMERs, will go into effect.

When it was announced by President Obama on June 15 the program received a lot of attention, praise, and criticism. Yet, there remains much confusion among the...

What is it about President Obama's decision to grant a temporary reprieve from deportation to deserving undocumented youth that has put conservative pundit Charles Krauthammer in a tizzy?

Over the past month he has repeatedly railed against Mr. Obama, claiming he has engaged in "naked...
