San Francisco recently abandoned its policy of giving refuge to illegal immigrants if they were juvenile offenders. Now, unsurprisingly, we learn that criminals were taking advantage of the City’s useful idiot policy and playing it for all it was worth. You see, almost a third of the so-called “juvenile” offenders the City was protecting were, [...]

England currently has an immigration policy that lets in just about everybody — especially two-bit terrorists from Pakistan and points nearby. England does have some limits, however. It refuses to allow Gurkha veterans — you know, the ones who fought and were willing to die for England — into the country, nor does it provide [...]

As a California tax payer, my taxes have, for years, been paying for college educations for illegal immigrants. I certainly admire anyone who is able to work hard and get into college, but I have a fundamental objection to paying my hard earned money so that someone who is in America illegally can get a [...]

One of the things few people realize Tony Blair’s government did to England was to open the floodgates to virtually unlimited immigration. Get a load of these numbers:
Between 1982 and 1997, Britain added about 50,000 new immigrants per year.
In 2004, a peak year, after a few years of Labour’s open borders approach, Britain added 244,000 [...]

I don’t have actual knowledge here. I’m just wondering.
The lede from the AP is that the number of uninsured dropped by more than a million people last year:
The number of people without health insurance fell by more than 1 million in 2007, the first annual decline since the Bush administration took office, the Census Bureau [...]

Back in 1989, Bay Area locals were stunned to learn of a horrific massacre up in Sonoma County:
[Ramon] Salcido, now 47, used a gun and knife to murder his wife, Angela Richards Salcido, 24; their daughters, 4-year-old Sofia and 22-month-old Teresa; his mother-in-law, Marion Richards, 47; her daughters, 12-year-old Ruth and 8-year-old Maria; and Tracey [...]

It’s a tragedy, but it’s also an interesting look at England today, since this is a story that could not possibly have happened at any time other than the first decade of the 21st Century:
Britain’s first Muslim peer, Lord Ahmed [a Muslim peer is an entirely new thing in England], is being investigated over a [...]

It turns out that Barack Obama might have been on to something with his bitterness speech. In case you’ve forgotten, he said:
You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, a lot of them — like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and [...]

Last night, I was discussing with my mother the British woman I met in Florida who said that the situation in England, vis a vis Muslims, is much worse than even the papers describe. Aside from pointing to political correctness as the culprit, I also also laid the blame, as did the British woman, [...]
