Why Is Illegal Immigration Fair?

WHY IS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION FAIR?

John Hinderaker Source: Powerlineblog.com

"When liberals make the case for illegal immigration, they never talk about murderous MS-13 gang members, drunken drivers who kill innocent people at the side of the highway, career criminals who have been deported multiple times, and so on. Instead, they focus on the high school valedictorian whose presence may, indeed, be a net benefit to the country. But is that the end of the story? ...."

".....Several things are going on here. The first is that the Democrats have absolutely no interest in the rule of law. The fact that our laws are being flouted means absolutely nothing to them, as they freely admit. Indeed, Democrats like Nancy Pelosi openly advocate law-breaking–not for some elevated principle, but for personal advancement.

Second, being an American means nothing to Democrats. To normal people, it is blindingly obvious that the purpose of the U.S. government is to serve the interests of the American people, not citizens of some other country. But the Democratic Party, as personified by Nancy Pelosi, refuses to acknowledge this basic principle. No wonder immigration is a winning issue for the GOP!"

Trump's Parade: Greatest Troll Ever?

TRUMP’S PARADE: GREATEST TROLL EVER?

".... President Trump has a unique ability to make liberal heads explode. You can see this one coming: libs will ramp up their use of the F-word, while normal Americans will wonder what is wrong with a parade:

A date has not been selected, although officials said Trump would like to tie the parade to a patriotic holiday.

Of course he would! That only makes it worse, for the Left. While liberals may not be traitors, as the president suggested in a moment of levity, most of them are not very patriotic. So a military parade down Pennsylvania Avenue, reminiscent of the Grand Review of the Armies at the end of the Civil War, will send liberals into a tizzy that the rest of us can enjoy.

Where did Trump get the idea of a military parade? From France: ..."

FISA Memo Released: Here's What It Says

FISA Memo Released: Here's What It Says

Source:  ZeroHedge

Update:

"The just released FISA memo  accuses senior officials at the DOJ of inappropriately using biased opposition research into then-candidate Trump to obtain surveillance warrants  on transition team members as part of the federal investigation into the Trump campaign and Russia.

According to the document,  information from the the so-called Steele dossier was "essential" to the acquisition of surveillance warrants on Trump campaign aide Carter Page. It claims that then-deputy FBI director Andrew  McCabe told the committee in December that without the information from the Steele dossier, no surveillance warrant for Page would have been sought.

The memo  alleges that the political origins of the dossier — paid for by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) — were not disclosed to the clandestine court that signed off on the warrant request.

The document claims that although the FBI had "clear evidence" that the author of the dossier, former British spy Christopher Steele,  was biased against Trump, it did not convey that to the surveillance court  when making its warrant applications. Steele told then-associate deputy attorney general Bruce Ohr that he was  "desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president,"  the memo says. ...."
