The borders need to be secured. We have to prosecute the employers and illegal workers evenly. Ban "sanctuary cities" by the threat to withhold federal tax dollars. Repeal the 1965 law that abolished national quotas on immigration in favor of non-European immigrants. Only a limited number of immigrants, the best and brightest, should be admitted.
The 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act granting amnesty to 3 million illegals was a disaster. It encouraged the illegal immigration that's a major factor in our massive problem today. The politicians need to listen to the majority of the people who want this very complex and divisive problem fixed. They must find the political will to stop this madness, before it's too late.

The Obama administration won't prosecute the New Black Panthers, or the terrorists who bombed the USS Cole. But they are going to sue Sheriff Arpaio of Arizona. Did I miss something? You can get sued for protecting your city. But if you're a terrorist, the administration will slap your wrist and send you home to devise more ways to kill Americans.

Iraq: Too much information
The president is going to stand at the podium with his trusted TelePrompTer and tell Americans that the war in Iraq is over.
We have 50,000 troops left to act as advisers. President Obama will tell the world when they will leave. But the Taliban and al Qaeda are in cahoots with Iran, and when the time comes, Iran will take control of Iraq.
And they'll know when because the president will give them the date.
During his speech, the president will praise himself on the remarkable job he's done. But don't ask about Iraq, because he has some shrimp to order.
