Big-box, home-improvement stores in Los Angeles will have to set aside space for day laborers under an ordinance passed by the City Council on Wednesday.

Savior-of-the-universe Barack Obama gave a speech where he made an attempt to explain the resentment in small-town Pennsylvania that won’t be appreciated by some of the people whose votes Obama’s seeking. Oops.

“It’s not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant [...]

In a manner reminiscent of John Kerry’s infamous waffling during the 2004 presidential contest, Hillary Clinton walked right into her own “I voted for it, before I voted against it” trap in last night’s Democrat Party debate … now known as Hillary’s Unforced Error™ on driver’s licenses for illegal aliens.

From Fred08:

No Amnesty. Amnesty undermines U.S. law and policy, rewards bad behavior, and is unfair to the millions of immigrants who follow the law and are awaiting legal entry into the United States.
Attrition through Enforcement. Adding “at least 25,000 agents” to the Border Patrol and doubling the number of ICE agents.
Enforce Existing Federal Laws. Rejecting [...]

Beware of an aroused citizenry. It’s an admonition that should be ingrained in the brain of any run-of-the-mill politician, let alone someone who has ascended to the United States Senate.
But from the Olympian heights of the world’s greatest deliberative body, it is often forgotten. So senators got a reminder in the [...]

From The Aspen Times:

This bill was conceived, in secret, by a dozen open-border advocates without even the benefit of the committee process.

First of all, according to U.S .Border Control (www.usbc.org), which has done exhaustive research, it’s 20 million illegal aliens, not 12 million.
And, it appears that this bill would allow these 20 million to bring in their immediate family members – parents, children, brothers and sisters, and, of course, a spouse. This means [...]
