Why are Democrats so uniformly opposed to proof of citizenship in order to vote? They and their interest group surrogates insist there is no problem with voter security. But why should we believe this when we know illegal immigrants routinely lie to obtain employment? (Federal law requires employees to sign...

The Supreme Court argument over the constitutionality of the Obama health care law has been more like a legislative argument between liberal and conservatives than a constitutional one. Recall that that the Court agreed to hear the constitutional challenge to the law, which is not a review of its merits....

At every Republican National Convention a woman or minority will deliver a prime-time speech in which he or she will attribute his or her success to merit and not race or gender. I was a delegate to the 1984 convention and the keynote speech was delivered by Katherine Ortega, an...

Last year an illegal immigrant named Saul Chavez with a blood alcohol level of .29 ran over and killed a man crossing the street near his Chicago home. Chavez did not stop and dragged the body beneath his car until he was apprehended by an off-duty Chicago cop....

If there is a justification for immigration during a period of persistently high unemployment, I have not heard it made by any of our politicans. President Obama was asked by the wife of an unemployed engineer why the U.S. allows H-1B visas (for engineers and other high-tech workers) when so...

I hear the advice from the pundits over and over again: Mitt Romney needs to appeal to Hispanic voters. Therefore, he should stop talking about illegal immigration. The premise is that Hispanic voters favor high levels of illegal immigration and will not vote for a candidate who wants to end...

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), a hardliner on illegal immigration, has introduced a bill to redefine the meaning of "citizenship." His intent is to exclude the children of illegal immigrants, and to many people's surprise, he has 81 cosponsors. With the calls of moderate Republican senators Lindsay...
