Here’s the (conservative) National Review today:
According to a congressman’s wife who attended a Republican women’s luncheon yesterday, Karl Rove explained the rationale behind the president’s amnesty/open-borders proposal this way: “I don’t want my 17-year-old son to have to pick tomatoes or make beds in Las Vegas.”
Aw poor Karl doesn’t want his white son to be […]

Phew. It constantly amazes me that these minutemen racists are the ones who are always talking about how “we are a nation of laws.” And yet stuff like this happens:
TUCSON, Ariz. - Gunmen stopped a pickup truck full of illegal immigrants, shot several and took the rest captive Thursday in an attack that left at […]

What an incredible bigot. Representative Virgil Goode (R-VA) is an incredible bigot. The following is a letter the recently re-elected Rep just sent to many of his constituents:
Thank you for your recent communication. When I raise my hand to take the oath on Swearing In Day, I will have the Bible in my other hand. […]

Radical racist Republican (RRR) Tom “America is Full” Tancredo has done it again. This time, he’s called Palm Beach Florida a “third world country.” The Miami Herald reports:
”Look at what has happened to Miami,” the WorldNetDaily quotes Tancredo as saying in an interview. “It has become a Third World country. You just pick it […]

Hardcore conservative Republicans are pissed that the White House chose a latino lawmaker to serve as the new NRC chairman, replacing Ken Mehlman. This, according to Bloomberg.
The move is running up against party activists who since the Republicans’ Nov. 7 election drubbing are far less susceptible than before to Bush’s and Rove’s control. These activists […]

The following is not only embarrassingly racist legislation, but almost undoubtedly also unconstitutional:
The town council of Pahrump, which lies in the Mojave Desert west of Las Vegas, voted 3-2 on Tuesday to make flying any foreign flag above the U.S. flag or alone an offense punishable by a $50 (26 pounds) fine and 30 hours’ […]

Thank you, Matt. What most people don’t realize (due to piss-poor reporting and misleading media presentation), is that The “Secure Fences Act” does not in fact provide for a fence to be built, order a fence to be built, allocate specific funds for a fence to be built, or even suggest that a fence be […]

This is an update on a story I mentioned recently, in which a Republican Congressional candidate in California sent out a letter to 14,000 hispanic people who recently registered to vote which falsely said that it was illegal for immigrants to vote. Hispanics are a voting block that usually trend Democratic, so it’s obvious that […]

The following is just disgusting:
A state lawmaker who wants to reinstate a 1950s federal deportation program known as “Operation Wetback” is under fire again for sending supporters information from a white separatist group.
Republican Rep. Russell Pearce has apologized for e-mailing the article from the West Virginia-based National Alliance. But that hasn’t stopped criticism from all […]

Another Republican up for re-election caught on tape. Republican Senator Jim Talent publicly opposes what he calls “amnesty” for illegal immigrants. However, when he thinks he’s only in the presence of fellow Republicans, he gets a bit more candid on the subject and reveals that he isn’t really opposed to amnesty and […]

One of the reasons why right-wingers hate immigrants (besides being straight out racist) is the myth that immigrants (legal and otherwise) hurt American workers by taking jobs away from Americans. A very common myth. Washington Post writes today:
High levels of immigration in the past 15 years do not appear to have hurt employment opportunities for […]

Oh boy, this is pretty hillarious. On Wednesday I wrote that the Post was reporting the following:
[House Republicans] believe that their get-tough approach — including building a wall along the border with Mexico and deporting millions of illegal immigrants — is far more popular with voters than the approach backed by Bush and the Senate, […]

The House is stalling the reconcillation process between their bill and the Senate’s one on immigration. Front Page of the Post today:
In a move that could bury President Bush’s high-profile effort to overhaul immigration law until after the midterm elections, House GOP leaders yesterday announced a series of field hearings during the August recess, pushing […]
