TX: Sanctuary cities bill SB9 appears to be dead

TX: Sanctuary cities bill SB9 appears to be dead...Controversial legislation prohibiting "sanctuary city" policies in Texas appeared dead Monday after a House committee refused to report the measure out and Senate conferees on a separate fiscal matters bill refused to let it be included as an amendment. As the special session headed toward its last day on Wednesday, there was no other avenue for the sanctuary cities measure to get legislative approval despite the fact that it was a priority for Gov. Rick Perry and legislative leaders.

Blatant, in-your-face corruption and Nazi tactics in MARYLAND occurring NOW

Blatant, in-your-face corruption and Nazi tactics in MARYLAND occurring NOW
The DREAM Act, granting in-state tuition and other special privileges to illegal aliens was defeated in Congress last year, but MD, a sanctuary state, was able to pass its own version (SB 167) in April. This was managed by intense lobbying from the far leftwing illegal [alien] advocate organization, CASA de Maryland -- which receives millions from the state -- and a blizzard of legislative contortions..Almost from the beginning, CASA activists and others have harassed petitioners wherever they set up. Here is a partial list of their tactics:

Sen. Durbin chairs hearing on DREAM Act immigration measure TOMORROW...Durbin (D-Ill.) is trying again to get the DREAM Act passed and will chair the first-ever Senate hearing Tuesday on the immigration measure to give students in the U.S. illegally a chance to stay.

Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) has been traveling across the nation to build support for the legislation. While White House Chief of Staff, Emanuel was seen as declining to push Obama to make DREAM Act passage a priority.

NY Can't Opt Out of Fingerprint Sharing With Feds (Secure Communities Program)...

NY Can't Opt Out of Fingerprint Sharing With Feds (Secure Communities Program)...[what difference does it make? Thanks to Obama/Napolitano/John Morton's recent memo to ICE....they won't be deporting anyone! Secure Communities Program has now become nothing more than a "Dog & Pony Show for Obama and his regime.] Fingerprints taken at the local level will continue to be shared with the DHS as part of a controversial federal immigration program despite Governor Andrew Cuomo's calls to end the practice, according to federal agencies.

Los Angeles: Tim Howard calls ceremony a 'disgrace' (entire post-match ceremony was in Spanish)

Los Angeles: Tim Howard calls ceremony a 'disgrace' (entire post-match ceremony was in Spanish) Goalkeeper Tim Howard was still upset after the U.S. lost the Gold Cup final, but his strongest reaction had nothing to do with the four goals Mexico slotted in his net. -- After El Tri's 4-2 victory at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., Howard blasted CONCACAF officials for conducting the title ceremony in Spanish. -- "CONCACAF should be ashamed of themselves," Howard said. "I think it was a [expletive] disgrace that the entire post-match ceremony was in Spanish...."

Feds use Midwest floods as excuse for treachery

Feds use Midwest floods as excuse for treachery...the government has no intention of restoring the homes, businesses, farmland, and the concomitant economic development stemming from the region impacted by the flood. Instead, under pressure from environmental groups, the region will be designated as protected wetlands, meaning of course that the economic boom resulting from development in the region will be lost forever...If you are a homeowner or landowner in the area, you are flat out of luck. The government will allow property values to plummet by deliberately refusing to restore the region to its state prior to the floods. Then, at vastly reduced prices, the Feds will purchase that land for pennies on the dollar, swindling homeowners out of billions, and then using the land in a vast wetlands restoration project.
