[/h][h=5]Did you hear about this mass shooting? It happened the day after the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre. Three men, a baby and a police officer were shot in Alabama with an AK-47. You'd think the liberal media would be eager to alert you to another terrible shooting spree in their quest to prove assault weapons are bad? But if they told you about this one, they would also have to tell you the perpetrator was a PREVIOUSLY DEPORTED ILLEGAL ALIEN. So they decided not to. You know... they can't have you hearing this sort of thing while BO tells us all the "borders are secure." Because you might then begin connecting the dots to realize that the man who leads this country is a relentless liar and an un-American disgrace. And we can't have that now, can we?

[h=2]Blog[/h][h=3]Rationale for Illinois Driver's License Bill Discredited by Recent Study[/h]By Chris Chmielenski
Friday, January 4, 2013, 10:57 AM EST - posted on NumbersUSA

The leaders of the Illinois Legislature are hoping to pass legislation that would allow illegal aliens to get a driver's license. In support of that effort, the senate's Assistant Republican Leader and a high-profile sheriff wrote an op-ed for a suburban Chicago newspaper, the Daily Herald, on Wednesday. State Sen. Bill Brady and Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran argued that the legislation would reduce the costs of uninsured claims. But a recent study by the Insurance Research Council squashes that argument.

		[FONT=arial, helvetica]Alert! HR 140 would abolish birthright citizenship![/FONT] The Birthright Citizenship Act by Rep. Steve King (R-IA) would eliminate automatic citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal aliens. HR 140 would establish that the "subject to the jurisdiction" clause of the 14th Amendment awards birthright citizenship only if one of the parents is: (1) a U.S. citizen or national; (2) a lawful permanent resident alien (green card holder) in the United States; or (3) an alien on active service in the U.S. Armed Forces. Our current policy encourages women to enter the United States illegally so that they can gain citizenship for these "anchor babies." The DHS is then reluctant to deport the illegal alien parents of a child born here. CLICK HERE to ask your Representative to support this GREAT bill!

[h=5]Having lived in California, I know that this is the truth. It seems like the only people who live in CA are either super wealthy celebrities with their tax shelters, the entitled "middle class" union workers (the ones that the PRIVATE SECTOR TAXPAYERS work so hard to provide them with all of their goodies at OUR expense), and the welfare-food stamp entitlement crowd, along with all of the illegals and their relatives...very embarrassing to say the least.

[h=1]REPUBLICAN MAJORITY NOW SUPPORTS IMMIGRATION REFORM[/h]By Cynthia Tucker | Cynthia Tucker – Sat, Jan 26, 2013

• Email

Caught in a time warp, destined to act out their own version of "Groundhog Day," Republican strategists have reliably trotted out one of their most fearsome epithets from the 1980s and '90s to bludgeon President Obama: liberal. In response to the president's inaugural address, Karl Rove has made the word "liberal" the refrain of a new anti-Obama ad.
In fairness, Rove isn't the only person caught in the rhetorical equivalent of a mullet haircut. Commentators routinely described the president's inaugural address -- in which he not only affirmed the role of an activist government, but also urged progress on gay rights, immigration and global warming -- as the most liberal speech of his presidency.
That may be. But the commentary -- and Rove's broadside -- managed to miss a more important point: The American public largely agrees with Obama. If he is "liberal," so is the country.
And nowhere is that more true than on comprehensive immigration reform. While resolving the immigration issue has remained elusive for more than a decade, a solid majority of Americans now favor giving undocumented workers a way to come out of the shadows.
According to a new Associated Press-GfK poll, 62 percent of Americans favor providing a path to legal status for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States. That reflects a steady increase in support for comprehensive immigration reform, up from 47 percent in 2009 and 50 percent in 2010, according to the same polling organization.
The shift toward overwhelming support is largely due to a change in the hearts and minds of Republican voters, according to an AP analysis. A majority of Republicans, 53 percent, now support the idea of allowing illegal immigrants to gain legal papers, up from 31 percent in 2010.
That stunning shift speaks volumes about the power of defeat. If Obama's first election didn't make the nation's changing demographics immediately apparent to the average conservative voter, his re-election -- which he won partly by securing the support of 71 percent of Latinos -- did.
That new tolerance is also a testament to the power of leadership, which a few thoughtful Republicans are beginning to exert on the subject of immigration. Leaders such as Jeb Bush, former governor of Florida, have long warned the GOP about the foolishness of alienating Latinos, the nation's fastest-growing ethnic group. More recently, up-and-comers such as Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who could be a presidential contender in 2016, have also taken up the cause, trying to edge fellow partisans away from the harsh rhetoric and hard-line policies they have pursued on illegal immigration.
Mitt Romney's strategists have conceded that the unwelcoming attitudes he adopted toward illegal immigrants hurt him in the general election. Many members of the Republican base seem, finally, to understand that.
That's not to say that they all do. Though Obama has pledged to move forward immediately with comprehensive immigration reform, he is still likely to encounter resistance. The GOP has spent a decade demonizing illegal immigrants; the hostility, the xenophobia and the fear linger among some of its partisans.
In that group, an argument with newfound popularity focuses on the perceived harm that comprehensive immigration reform would do to low-income American workers -- especially black men. Those skeptics claim that high unemployment rates among blacks would only be exacerbated by the absorption of so many illegal workers.
In December, Mark Krikorian, a well-known immigration critic, wrote in National Review: "Mass immigration isn't the only cause of the deep employment problems of less-skilled black workers. It's not even the main cause. But it's the easiest one to remedy."
Actually, there isn't much connection between immigration and high black unemployment rates, as research by economist David Card has pointed out. Further, Krikorian's screed suggests that illegal immigrants could simply be rounded up and sent back to their native countries -- a policy few would support. Instead, let's bring them out of the shadows so their labor can contribute to the rebirth of the U.S. economy.
That's a liberal notion that most Americans clearly support.

[h=1]Analysis: For Republicans, a world turned "upside down" on immigration[/h]By John Whitesides | Reuters – 4 hrs ago

  View PhotoReuters/Reuters - (L-R) Senators Richard Durbin (D-IL), John McCain (R-AZ), Charles Schumer (D-NY), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), and Marco Rubio (R-FL) attend a news conference on comprehensive immigration reform …more

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - What a difference one brutally disappointing election can make.
At this time last year, Republican U.S. presidential contenders were competing to act tough onimmigration to win favor with the party's conservative base.
Eventual nominee Mitt Romney led the way by advocating "self-deportation" - a plan that essentially called on the government to make life so miserable for the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants, most of whom are Hispanics, that many would leave on their own.
But since Democratic President Barack Obama's decisive victory over Romney in November with the support of more than seven in 10 Hispanic voters, the game has changed.
Many Republicans now see gaining favor with the fast-growing Hispanic voting bloc, which accounts for 10 percent of the U.S. electorate and is growing, as a matter of political survival.
Some remain critical of any plan that would give illegal immigrants a path to citizenship. But next-generation Republican leaders - including Florida Senator Marco Rubio, 41, a favorite of the conservative Tea Party movement - are desperate to remove the issue as a liability for the party.
That is why a plan announced on Monday by a bipartisan group of eight U.S. senators including Rubio is widely seen as the best hope in years for a comprehensive immigration overhaul - even though it is similar to a 2007 plan that was shot down by conservative Republicans despite being backed by Republican President George W. Bush.
But now, "the politics on this issues have turned upside down," said New York Democrat Chuck Schumer, another senator in the bipartisan group crafting the immigration plan.
"For the first time ever, there is more political risk in opposing immigration reform than in supporting it," Schumer said.
REPUBLICANS LOSING HISPANIC SUPPORT
Compared with the bitter, uncompromising politics that have clouded Capitol Hill in recent years, the news conference held by the senators on Monday was practically a festival of love.
There was Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona - who lost the presidential race to Obama in 2008 and is a frequent critic of the administration - heaping praise on the Democratic president for supporting immigration reform.
There was Democratic Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois, giving credit to Bush for backing immigrationchanges when many Republicans did not.
During the news conference, Rubio and Democrat Robert Menendez of New Jersey, another member of the group, made a point of explaining parts of their plan in Spanish, a symbolic reach-out to those who could be affected by it.
The changed dynamic on immigration reflected how "the election was a real wake-up call to Republicans. They have had their eyes opened on Hispanics," said Steven Schier, a political scientist at Carleton College in Minnesota.
Asked why he thought this immigration bill might succeed, McCain said: "Elections. The Republican Party is losing the support of our Hispanic citizens."
Republican strategist Ana Navarro said McCain - whose state borders Mexico and is about 30 percent Hispanic - could be an important voice to other Republicans on the immigration bill.
"Nobody can talk to other Republicans with the authority that John McCain can about what it means to move the Latino vote," Navarro said.
'AN IMPORTANT FIRST STEP'
The group of senators behind the immigration plan - which also includes Republicans Jeff Flake of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Democrat Michael Bennet of Colorado - said they hoped for quick action.
But even if successful, Congress' revamping of the immigration system is likely to take most of 2013. Congress also will be wrestling with budget issues and Obama's ambitious gun-control proposals in the next few months.
"Today is an important first step in what is going to be a significant and complicated journey," Rubio said.
The plan would create what the senators called a "tough but fair" path to citizenship for many illegal immigrants after undefined improvements to border security and a crackdown on people who have overstayed their visas.
The plan faces some hurdles in the Senate. But the big question will be whether it can clear the Republican-led House of Representatives, which is dominated by conservatives adamantly opposed to anything resembling "amnesty" for illegal immigrants.
One rising star among House conservatives - Paul Ryan, the Budget Committee chairman who was Romney's vice presidential nominee - already has voiced support for Rubio's immigration efforts. Others seem to be loading up to attack such a plan.
"When you legalize those who are in the country illegally, it costs taxpayers millions of dollars, costs American workers thousands of jobs and encourages more illegal immigration," Representative Lamar Smith, a Texas Republican, said in a statement.
Many conservatives said they would wait for the final proposal, which will be developed by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said the final measure will require far more input than it has received so far.
"All members must have an opportunity to debate and amend any legislation that comes to the floor. This effort is too important to be written in a back room and sent to the floor with a take-it-or-leave-it approach," McConnell said. "It needs to be done on a bipartisan basis and include ideas from both sides of the aisle."
Groups that oppose easing the immigration restrictions blasted the plan and predicted that it would meet the same fate as the 2007 bill.
"We expect that once the American public learns of the details of this proposal, and comes to recognize that it will do nothing to fix the problems of our broken immigration system, it will meet with the same overwhelmingly negative response that it received in 2007," said Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
But backers of a comprehensive immigration plan said there was a new mood of optimism in their ranks.
"The histrionics and demagoguery on immigration have died down, at least for now," said Fergus Cullen, a former chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party who has launched an immigration reform group.
"There seems to be a different attitude," Cullen said.

Dear Friends,
I have been in contact with Senator McCain regarding the now released immigration reform ideas presented by his working group of Senators. I am pleased that there is expressed recognition of what we have been saying in Arizona: immigration reform will not succeed unless and until we have achieved effective border security. If this occurs, it would be a triumph for the rule of law and a testament to the united voices of Americans from across our country who have been clear in their call for the federal government to uphold its duty to secure the border.
Our nation cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the past by pursuing immigration reform before tangible and effective border security, particularly in the Tucson Sector, is completed. That is the lesson of the last major immigration reform effort in 1986. The promise of border security was broken, and Americans - especially in border states like mine - have been paying the price ever since. We must not – and will not – let that happen again.
In the weeks ahead, I will review the specific details of this immigration plan when proposed in actual legislation. I am hopeful that the immigration system is reformed in a manner that combines the rule of law and human compassion, while strengthening the United States’ competitive position in the world.
In the meantime, I’ll be speaking with Arizona ranchers, business leaders and other residents of the border region, as well as law enforcement. I will continue to talk with those on the front lines and I will make sure their voices are heard. I am committed to do everything within my power to make certain our federal government finally upholds its obligation to secure America’s borders.
