New guidelines have tweaked how enforcement should happen, but one hornet that tends to escape high-level debate in the swarm of secure borders is who should be doing the enforcing.
Like the bulk of people who come to the United States seeking asylum or without correct documentation, Jean-Pierre spent the first phase of his new life as a prisoner.

This "angry, illiterate, uneducated, ex-hustler, rebellious Rastafarian" (which is how Zephaniah describes himself in Too Black, Too Strong) is not like "most blokes who write poems."
Collectively, we bemoan the backwardness of "some" people before we move on, thinking of racism as isolated extremism.
If Schwarzenegger has his way, the price will be paid by health care coverage, welfare, schools and workers.
Will we step boldly into the new economic reality with a plan for creating jobs? Or will we look to unsustainable government protections that will force the US to take a backseat in the new era?
It's time we confront the fact that behind violently anti-immigrant and supremacist rhetoric is a real urge and a real encouragement for actual violence.
Among my numerous flaws is the fact that I'm not very charitable. Yes, I give money to worthy causes, but I'm stingy with my time. My wife does volunt...
Sarah, how creepy is it that NOW is jumping on your bandwagon? Trying to be friends with the alpha popular princess by sweeping abortion, pay parity, stem cell research under the rug!
The American public's overall impression of Iranian Americans is largely based on the reductive one-dimensional image of Iranians found in the media and in reports on Iran.
I see the June meeting as more icing on the cake in the Democratic Party's shameless pursuit of the Latino vote.
By 1950, 83% of Polish immigrants in the city were naturalized citizens, and 42% owned their homes, even though the average education among them was only 6 years.

Bush and Obama.
What is "controversal" about cracking down on people who use FAKE SS numbers? Those who hire ILLEGALS should be heavily fined and/or jailed. Without jobs ILLEGALS will self-deport and we will save BILLIONS of tax payer dollars!
It is interesting that if you are Conservative or Liberal most people believe illegal aliens are a big problem since they see it in their everyday lives. Unfortunately, both parties want them here because big business and wall street want them here. Our elites ignore any problems the middle class or poor have and just try to keep us busy arguing about silly topics. Democrat politicians want them here because they are potential voters in the future and they could mean the end of the GOP. Republican politicians in collusion with big business want them here for the cheap slave labor. And at the same time both parties will not address the fact that we have exported our manufacturing capabilities to third world nations in Asia and South America with our "Free Trade" Agreements. So they import slave labor to displace Americans while exporting good manufacturing jobs that also displaces Americans. Obama campaigned on getting rid of the terrible Free Trade agreements and dealing with the outsourcing of jobs. Unfortunately, he ignores those problems because the powers that control him are addicted to the cheap labor and could care less about saving American Jobs.
Hmmm . . . think I found one . . .

The caption for the picture should read:
"U.S. President Barack Obama (C) and France's President Nicolas Sarkozy (R) caught looking at woman's booty...!
Much like McCain "checking out" Palin during her speeches (!!!)
No matter how you stand politically you have to admit that, in this poor job market, we need to let an American citizen gain employment over an illegal immigrant.
