America Can't Afford More Huddled Masses; Enforce Current Laws

About 1,000 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents with search warrants entered plants owned by Swift & Co., of Greeley, Colo., charging that "large numbers" of workers illegally assumed the identities of U.S. citizens or legal residents by using their Social Security numbers to get work, ICE officials said

As the full Senate engages in intensive deliberations over a landmark immigration bill this week, proponents are scrambling to maintain crucial bipartisan support in the face of Republican demands to strengthen border security.

America, as has been said often, is a nation of immigrants. Our culture, our economy and our identity are all the richer for it.

The Republican, who left office Monday after one term in office, also defended his decision to commute the sentences of 167 death row inmates.

The editorial was all take and no give: amnesty, or "reform," for illegal immigrants but no security to maintain the border and spare the United States additional amnesties in the future - except for a rather ugly reference to turning the border into an "armed camp." I think most Americans would tolerate this amnesty if it were absolutely the last amnesty instead of one in a never-ending series. So here is a quid pro quo. Build a complete, double fence now along with granting amnesty. A fence is the only thing that would work, which is why the open-borders crowd doesn't even want to discuss an American border fence - or the border fence Mexico is now building along the Guatemalan border. There it is: a favor for a favor that both sides can unhappily live with.

The task: navigating a delicate balance between competing in a Republican primary where conservatives hold sway and appealing to the rapidly growing Hispanic population, whose support is seen as critical to the GOP's effort to win the White House.

Legislation to give the District of Columbia a full vote in the House of Representatives stalled when Republicans unexpectedly injected the volatile issue of gun control. Democrats decided to put off action indefinitely on the voting rights measure, which had appeared to be moving toward passage though President Bush had vowed to veto it. Republicans, protesting the delay, sought a quick vote on their effort to repeal the District's ban on handguns. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty said there was no local support for repeal of its tough gun-control laws. He said that when people learned that residents had again been denied voting rights, ''I think it is going to backfire on those who have done this procedural maneuver.''

This is how the NRA 'politically weaponized' its membership

The Feb. 10 Commentary article by lesbian Amy Adams Squire Strongheart was the most ridiculous theology I have ever read. Her delusion that the term "eunuch" could possibly mean gay - thus affirmed by Jesus - is absurd. It is not a point of biblical interpretation; it is simply garbage theology. The Holy Scriptures do clearly state that homosexuals are people of a depraved mind (Romans 1), so this would explain her interpretation and the fact that this blasphemy was allowed in the Post-Dispatch. Homosexuality is condemned by God and will only yield death and eternal damnation for these people. Homosexuals need to confess their sins and receive forgiveness, not attempt to rationalize it with nonsense theology. It is time for Christians to offer tough love to a people who have a life expectancy on this Earth of less than 40 years, and an eternal life in hell. The homosexual lifestyle is a ticket to destruction. Rev. Dale J. Pritchard Hillsboro, Ill. Amy Adams Squire Strongheart's Feb. 10 Commentary article about same-sex marriages made a case to prove homosexuality is affirmed in the Bible. She is wrong again. The eunuchs the book of Matthew 19:4-12 is referring to are men who were castrated by other men as a punishment or converted men of a pagan religion priesthood or men born impotent. Never, in any case, does it describe the gay lifestyle. Theo Parmer Sr. Florissant For some time, I have been following the obvious overexposure of the sexual orientation of Amy Adams Squire Strongheart in the Post-Dispatch. I have been trying to determine what purpose the paper has in publishing these outlandish articles by an avowed lesbian. I now realize that succeeding articles have become nothing more than succes de scandale.

Congress has shamefully caved in, yet again, to the gun lobby and abandoned the effort to grant the long-suffering District of Columbia a voting representative in the House.
