There could not be a more perfect time for you to attend the annual ACT for America Conference scheduled for September 6th and 7th in Washington, D.C.
Hear from Brigitte Gabriel and a host of important speakers on the topic of immigration, refugee resettlement and the security threats we face from both.
ACT is the only national grassroots organization that puts reform of the Refugee Program as a top priority!
A very special guest will be Philip B. Haney, Department of Homeland Security whistleblower and author, who will speak on ‘Refugee Vetting: Is our security at risk?’
And, this is what Ms. Gabriel said in a recent e-mail recognizing the critical need to let Congress know now how you feel about the ever-expanding UN/US State Department Refugee Admissions Program and how it will impact you and your town.
This is an “all hands on deck” moment. Congress can decide to not fund those numbers or not. Congress can stop him.
[….]
Our counter voice needs to be heard. We need to show up in force and send a clear message to Congress. Not only NO but Hell NO to more unvetted refugees in America.
Due to this impending event [lobbying push by the advocates for 200,000 refugees for next year—ed] , we have dramatically slashed our national conference rate to our rock bottom cost of only $229/registration. We are doing all we can to have you with us. This is a crucial showdown between the patriots who love this country, and those who are trying to destroy it.
[….]
If you are not there, Congress will assume Americans don’t care. They will only hear the loud voices of our rivals and will assume we are perfectly OK with more refugees. This is why it is critical that we have you with us at ACTCON 2016 so we can tell Congress “NO” to Obama’s proposal.
Silence from those who oppose refugee resettlement is the same as support for them. This is the time when patriotic Americans must speak up.
I want to say that some of the hardest working, patriotic and most dedicated citizen activists I met on my 30-day tour of American communities facing refugee overload problems were the ACT for America members.
You have until tomorrow, September 2nd, midnight, to meet some of those great people in Washington!

I reported yesterday that the Open Borders Left has signaled how many refugees they want Obama to propose when he does his United Nations confab on September 20th.
They want 200,000 in fiscal year 2017!
There is only one entity that can stop them and that is Congress—either they fund Obama’s last ‘determination’ or they don’t. Although your governors and your state and local elected officials should hear from you, and it goes without saying that Hillary must be defeated, but there is only one place where it really matters this fall—-Congress!
Congress holds the purse strings, they decide in the appropriations process unfolding in Washington right now whether the US will take 2,000 or 200,000 refugees in 2017 because as we know the federal resettlement contractors would shrivel up and go away without YOUR money feeding their salaries, offices, staff, travel, lobbying! etc.
Anyway, here is my new youtube promoting that message (LOL! laughing at this freeze frame!):
Yesterday a reader asked me to publish the addresses for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker Paul Ryan because, as you know, trying to reach them electronically is impossible.
Remember the other side is flooding Congress with postcards, see here (scroll down to see card). Maybe it’s time for an old fashioned letter writing campaign to counter them. After all, it is your money that will be required to fund 200,000 refugees’ travel, placement, and lives in America. (In an upcoming post, I’ll give you some other important legislators who need to hear from you!)

WASHINGTON, D.C. /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The following statement was issued by Dan Stein, president of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), in response to Donald Trump’s address about immigration policy.
“This evening, Donald Trump laid out a coherent and workable strategy for addressing the decades-long problem of mass illegal immigration, and for reforming our dysfunctional legal immigration policies. But even more important than the details of the plan itself, Trump laid out the most fundamental principle for true immigration reform: The policy exists to protect and serve ‘the wellbeing of the American people,’ and ‘protect all aspects of American life.’
“We now have a fully fleshed-out plan for American voters to evaluate and compare with the positions of his opponent and the policies of the current administration. It includes proposals for securing our borders, preventing people from overstaying visas, eliminating the magnet of jobs for illegal aliens, and ending benefit and rewards for illegal immigration. These have been the driving forces behind decades of uncontrolled illegal immigration.
“The plan also stressed the primacy of the national interest in legal immigration policy, calling for a merit-based system of selecting immigrants who are most likely succeed economically and assimilate into the economic and cultural mainstream.
“Trump redefined the parameters of the immigration debate in this evening’s speech in ten clearly defined policy goals. It is now up to his political opponents and congressional leaders of both parties to explain to the American people why their interests should not be the paramount consideration in immigration reform, why our borders should not be secured, why sanctuary cities should not be outlawed, why laws should not be enforced uniformly, and why the magnet of jobs should not be cut off.”

ABOUT FAIR
Founded in 1979, FAIR is the country’s largest immigration reform group. With over 250,000 members nationwide, FAIR fights for immigration policies that serve national interests, not special interests. FAIR believes that immigration reform must enhance national security, improve the economy, protect jobs, preserve our environment, and establish a rule of law that is recognized and enforced.
I had the opportunity to listen Dr. Ron Larson speak about the City of Baltimore, Maryland during his visit to Sarasota, Florida. Dr. Larson said that the average age of a grandmother in Baltimore is 36-years old. He also called Baltimore “sin city.”
The number of children in the United States who currently live with older adults is substantial. Since 1980 there has been a 44% increase in the number of children living in homes with grandparents (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1994). In 1990, the rate for all children was 5%. However, rates vary with ethnicity and living context: More than 12% of African American children lived with a grandparent, while 5.8% of Hispanic and 3.6% of White children lived with a grandparent (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1991). Grandparents are more likely to co-reside with children in urban settings. [Emphasis added]
Baltimore is Number 2 on the list of Top 101 counties with the highest number of infant deaths per 1000 residents 2007-2013 (pop. 50,000+). Baltimore is Number 6 on the list of Top 101 counties with highest percentage of residents voting for Obama (Democrat) in the 2012 Presidential Election (pop. 50,000+)
Estimated median household income for the City of Baltimore in 2013 was $42,266 while the average household income for Maryland is $72,483.
Baltimore has 70,974 single-parent households (9,056 men, 61,918 women).
Percentage of residents living in poverty in 2013: 23.3% (14.3% for White Non-Hispanic residents, 26.6% for Black residents, 26.8% for Hispanic or Latino residents, 30.9% for American Indian residents, 15.5% for Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander residents, 38.9% for other race residents, 27.8% for two or more races residents)
Contrary to the emotional blackmail some leftists are attempting to peddle, Baltimore is not America’s problem or shame. That failed city is solely and completely a Democrat problem. Like many failed cities, Detroit comes to mind, and every city besieged recently by rioting, Democrats and their union pals have had carte blanche to inflict their ideas and policies on Baltimore since 1967, the last time there was a Republican Mayor.
In 2012, after four years of his own failed policies, President Obama won a whopping87.4% of the Baltimore City vote. Democrats run the city of Baltimore, the unions, the schools, and, yes, the police force. Since 1969, there have been only two Republican governors of the State of Maryland.
Elijah Cummings has represented Baltimore in the U.S. Congress for more than thirty years. As I write this, despite his objectively disastrous reign, the Democrat-infested mainstream media is treating the Democrat like a local folk hero, not the obvious and glaring failure he really is.
Every single member of the Baltimore city council is a Democrat.
Donald Trump’s Speech to Black Voters: Life is Hard on the Democratic Plantation.
Mr. Trump has argued that Democratic policies are responsible for the persistent high unemployment, inadequate education and substandard living conditions that blight inner-city neighborhoods.
Trump is right, once again. #TrumpAllRight.

Hillary Clinton’s take from speaking afterleaving the State Department totals $21,667,000.
This does not include any donations to the Clinton Foundation. This “Candidate of the People” has put in her pockets nearly 22 million dollars since leaving the State Department! This figure only represents April 18, 2013 through March 13, 2015. This is from official public records. In one day alone she made two speeches which totaled over $500,000 in speaking fees!
When Hillary Clinton left public office she said that, “Bill Clinton and I are broke!” Really??
How many more lies can a candidate utter, without recourse?
“Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and her husband are bigger fish, so the Saudis handed over a lot more money to their ‘charity’……between $25,000,000 and $50,000,000. There is no way to tell the exact amount because the Clinton Foundation reports in ranges to disguise the true amount of funding from despotic nations.”
“It turns out the Saudi’s are not the only despotic nation giving the Clinton Foundation cash. The nation of Brunei donated from $1,000,000 to as much as $5,000,000 to the Clintons, and Kuwait donated $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. The Sultanate of Oman donated $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 and Qatar donated $5.8 million to the Clintons.”
There are more examples. All of the funds to the Clintons came from Sunni Muslim nations!
Not to bore you with statistics, but there are additional speaking fees. Bill Clinton collected $1 million for two appearances sponsored by the Abu Dhabi government that were arranged while Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State; this was at a time when Abu Dhabi was trying to get special status from Homeland Security at an airport. Of course there are additional examples of Sunni monies.
Even Fox News has Sunni Muslim investors!
Mohammed bin Salman, Deputy Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, told the Jordanian News Agency that Saudi Arabia will “provide with full enthusiasm 20 percent of Hillary Clinton’s election.” Really?!! From a government that squelches women’s rights, for starters!!
Later, that same day, the news agency dropped the story, but numerous publications had already picked it up. When questioned, the news agency refused to explain and then a day later claimed their site had been hacked. Really? Hacked?
So someone hacked the Jordanian News Agency Internet site and inserted one sentence in Arabic in one story and did nothing else? The bottom line of what really happened: They quoted bin Salman on something he said, but that he later regretted and ordered removal!
In all, the Clinton Foundation admitted accepting tens of millions from Sunni-loving Saudi governments. All of those kings were enemies of secular President Assad of Syria, whom Hillary directed a war against. Is that a coincidence???
So a Sunni Muslim “cash cow” has graciously accepted the role of funding a future presidential candidate. Impossible, you say. Fact; for real.
According to “The Daily Jot,” “Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign is not denying that the Clinton Foundation took money from people in exchange for meetings at the State Department. Clinton’s campaign, however, is attacking the veracity of the story by saying that Associate Press, who broke the story that Clinton operated a ‘pay to play’ scheme for favors and access to her at the State Department, only studied a small sample of the number of meetings where there was money offered for favors. The fact remains, however, that AP found a documented pattern and a notable system of corruption. This story confirms what was reported by government investigative watchdog, Judicial Watch.
Judicial Watch released 725 of new State Department documents and 20 previously unreleased emails, in which the former Secretary of State’s top aide Huma Abedin “provided influential Clinton Foundation donors special, expedited access to the secretary of state. In many instances, the preferential treatment provided to donors was at the specific request of Clinton Foundation executive Douglas Band.”
Judicial Watch says,
“These records further appear to contradict statements by Clinton that, ‘as far as she knew,’ all of her government emails were turned over to the State Department.” These and the AP investigation reveal an elaborate scheme to enrich the Clintons while she was Secretary of State.
Judicial Watch states:
“The Abedin emails reveal that the longtime Clinton aide apparently served as a conduit between Clinton Foundation donors and Hillary Clinton while Clinton served as secretary of state. In more than a dozen email exchanges, Abedin provided expedited, direct access to Clinton for donors who had contributed from $25,000 to $10 million to the Clinton Foundation. In many instances, Clinton Foundation top executive Doug Band, who worked with the Foundation throughout Hillary Clinton’s tenure at State, coordinated closely with Abedin. In Abedin’s June deposition, she conceded that part of her job at the State Department was taking care of ‘Clinton family matters’.”

On Wednesday, August 31, 2016, Donald J. Trump at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona just hours after meeting with President Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico gave a major policy speech on immigration.
The Trump Ten Point immigration policy:
Number One: We will build a wall along the Southern Border.
Number Two: End Catch-And-Release
Number Three: Zero tolerance for criminal aliens.
Number Four: Block Funding For Sanctuary Cities
Number Five: Cancel Unconstitutional Executive Orders & Enforce All Immigration Laws
Number Six: We Are Going To Suspend The Issuance Of Visas To Any Place Where Adequate Screening Cannot Occur
Number Seven: We will ensure that other countries take their people back when we order them deported
Number Eight: We will finally complete the biometric entry-exit visa tracking system.
Number Nine: We will turn off the jobs and benefits magnet.
Number Ten: We will reform legal immigration to serve the best interests of America and its workers
Here is the full video of the event and his immigration policy speech:
Thank you, Phoenix. I am so glad to be back in Arizona, a state that has a very special place in my heart.
I love the people of Arizona and, together, we are going to win the White House in November.
Tonight is not going to be a normal rally speech.
Instead, I am going to deliver a detailed policy address on one of the greatest challenges facing our country today: immigration.
I have just landed having returned from a very important and special meeting with the President of Mexico – a man I like and respect very much, and a man who truly loves his country. Just like I am a man who loves the United States.
We agreed on the importance of ending the illegal flow of drugs, cash, guns and people across our border, and to put the cartels out of business.
We also discussed the great contributions of Mexican-American citizens to our two countries, my love for the people of Mexico, and the close friendship between our two nations.
It was a thoughtful and substantive conversation. This is the first of what I expect will be many conversations in a Trump Administration about creating a new relationship between our two countries.
But to fix our immigration system, we must change our leadership in Washington. There is no other way.
The truth is, our immigration system is worse than anyone realizes. But the facts aren’t known because the media won’t report on them, the politicians won’t talk about them, and the special interests spend a lot of money trying to cover them up.
Today you will get the truth.
The fundamental problem with the immigration system in our country is that it serves the needs of wealthy donors, political activists and powerful politicians. Let me tell you who it doesn’t serve: it doesn’t serve you, the American people.
When politicians talk about immigration reform, they usually mean the following: amnesty, open borders, and lower wages.
Immigration reform should mean something else entirely: it should mean improvements to our laws and policies to make life better for American citizens.
But if we are going to make our immigration system work, then we have to be prepared to talk honestly and without fear about these important and sensitive issues.
For instance, we have to listen to the concerns that working people have over the record pace of immigration and its impact on their jobs, wages, housing, schools, tax bills, and living conditions. These are valid concerns, expressed by decent and patriotic citizens from all backgrounds.
We also have to be honest about the fact that not everyone who seeks to join our country will be able to successfully assimilate. It is our right as a sovereign nation to choose immigrants that we think are the likeliest to thrive and flourish here.
Then there is the issue of security. Countless innocent American lives have been stolen because our politicians have failed in their duty to secure our borders and enforce our laws.
I have met with many of the parents who lost their children to Sanctuary Cities and open borders. They will be joining me on the stage later today.
Countless Americans who have died in recent years would be alive today if not for the open border policies of this Administration. This includes incredible Americans like 21-year-old Sarah Root. The man who killed her arrived at the border, entered federal custody, and then was released into a U.S. community under the policies of this White House. He was released again after the crime, and is now at large.
Sarah had graduated from college with a 4.0, top of her class, the day before.
Also among the victims of the Obama-Clinton open borders policies was Grant Ronnebeck, a 21 year-old convenience store clerk in Mesa, Arizona. He was murdered by an illegal immigrant gang member previously convicted of burglary who had also been released from Federal Custody.
Another victim is Kate Steinle, gunned down in the Sanctuary City of San Francisco by an illegal immigrant deported five previous times.
Then there is the case of 90 year-old Earl Olander, who was brutally beaten and left to bleed to death in his home. The perpetrators were illegal immigrants with criminal records who did not meet the Obama Administration’s priorities for removal.
In California, a 64 year-old Air Force Veteran, Marilyn Pharis, was sexually assaulted and beaten to death with a hammer. Her killer had been arrested on multiple occasions, but was never deported.
A 2011 report from the Government Accountability Office found that illegal immigrants and other non-citizens in our prisons and jails together had around 25,000 homicide arrests to their names.
On top of that, illegal immigration costs our country more than $113 billion dollars a year. For the money we are going to spend on illegal immigration over the next ten years, we could provide one million at-risk students with a school voucher.
While there are many illegal immigrants in our country who are good people, this doesn’t change the fact that most illegal immigrants are lower-skilled workers with less education who compete directly against vulnerable American workers, and that these illegal workers draw much more out from the system than they will ever pay in.
But these facts are never reported.
Instead, the media and my opponent discuss one thing, and only this one thing: the needs of people living here illegally.
The truth is, the central issue is not the needs of the 11 million illegal immigrants – or however many there may be.
That has never been the central issue. It will never be the central issue.
Anyone who tells you that the core issue is the needs of those living here illegally has simply spent too much time in Washington.
Only out of touch media elites think the biggest problem facing American society today is that there are 11 million illegal immigrants who don’t have legal status.
To all the politicians, donors and special interests, hear these words from me today: there is only one core issue in the immigration debate and it is this: the well-being of the American people. Nothing even comes a close second.
Hillary Clinton, for instance, talks constantly about her fears that families will be separated. But she’s not talking about the American families who have been permanently separated from their loved ones because of a preventable death. No, she’s only talking about families who came here in violation of the law.
We will treat everyone living or residing in our country with dignity. We will be fair, just and compassionate to all. But our greatest compassion must be for American citizens.
President Obama and Hillary Clinton have engaged in gross dereliction of duty by surrendering the safety of the American people to open borders. President Obama and Hillary Clinton support Sanctuary Cities, they support catch-and-release on the border, they support visa overstays, they support the release of dangerous criminals from detention – and they support unconstitutional executive amnesty.
Hillary Clinton has pledged amnesty in her first 100 days, and her plan will provide Obamacare, Social Security and Medicare for illegal immigrants – breaking the federal budget. On top of that, she promises uncontrolled low-skilled immigration that continues to reduce jobs and wages for American workers, especially African-American and Hispanic workers. This includes her plan to bring in 620,000 new refugees in a four-year term.
Now that you’ve heard about Hillary Clinton’s plan – about which she has not answered a single substantive question – let me tell you about my plan.
While Hillary Clinton meets only with donors and lobbyists, my plan was crafted with the input from federal immigration officers, along with top immigration experts who represent workers, not corporations. I also worked with lawmakers who’ve led on this issue on behalf of American citizens for many years, and most importantly, I’ve met with the people directly impacted by these policies.
Number One: We will build a wall along the Southern Border.
On day one, we will begin working on an impenetrable physical wall on the southern border. We will use the best technology, including above-and below-ground sensors, towers, aerial surveillance and manpower to supplement the wall, find and dislocate tunnels, and keep out the criminal cartels, and Mexico will pay for the wall.
Number Two: End Catch-And-Release
Under my Administration, anyone who illegally crosses the border will be detained until they are removed out of our country.
Number Three: Zero tolerance for criminal aliens.
According to federal data, there are at least 2 million criminal aliens now inside the country. We will begin moving them out day one, in joint operations with local, state and federal law enforcement.
Beyond the 2 million, there are a vast number of additional criminal illegal immigrants who have fled or evaded justice. But their days on the run will soon be over. They go out, and they go out fast.
Moving forward, we will issue detainers for all illegal immigrants who are arrested for any crime whatsoever, and they will be placed into immediate removal proceedings. We will terminate the Obama Administration’s deadly non-enforcement policies that allow thousands of criminal aliens to freely roam our streets.
Since 2013 alone, the Obama Administration has allowed 300,000 criminal aliens to return back into U.S. communities – these are individuals encountered or identified by ICE but who not detained or processed for deportation.
My plan also includes cooperating closely with local jurisdictions to remove criminal aliens.
We will restore the highly successful Secure Communities program. We will expand and revitalize the popular 287(g) partnerships, which will help to identify hundreds of thousands of deportable aliens in local jails. Both of these programs have been recklessly gutted by this Administration. This is yet one more area where we are headed in a totally opposite direction.
On my first day in office, I am also going to ask Congress to pass “Kate’s Law” – named for Kate Steinle – to ensure that criminal aliens convicted of illegal reentry face receive strong mandatory minimum sentences.
Another reform I am proposing is the passage of legislation named for Detective Michael Davis and Deputy Sheriff Danny Oliver, two law enforcement officers recently killed by a previously-deported illegal immigrant. The Davis-Oliver bill will enhance cooperation with state and local authorities to ensure that criminal immigrants and terrorists are swiftly identified and removed.
We are going to triple the number of ICE deportation officers. Within ICE, I am going to create a new special Deportation Task Force, focused on identifying and removing quickly the most dangerous criminal illegal immigrants in America who have evaded justice.
The local police know who every one of these criminals are. There’s no great mystery to it, they’ve put up with it for years. And now, finally, we will turn the tables and law enforcement will be allowed to clear up this dangerous and threatening mess.
We’re also going to hire 5,000 more Border Patrol agents, and put more of them on the border, instead of behind desks. We will expand the number of Border Patrol Stations.
I’ve had a chance to spend time with these incredible law enforcement officers, and I want to take a moment to thank them. The endorsement I’ve received from the Border Patrol officers means more to me than I can say.
Number Four: Block Funding For Sanctuary Cities
We will end the Sanctuary Cities that have resulted in so many needless deaths. Cities that refuse to cooperate with federal authorities will not receive taxpayer dollars, and we will work with Congress to pass legislation to protect those jurisdictions that do assist federal authorities.
Number Five: Cancel Unconstitutional Executive Orders & Enforce All Immigration Laws
We will immediately terminate President Obama’s two illegal executive amnesties, in which he defied federal law and the constitution to give amnesty to approximately 5 million illegal immigrants.
Hillary Clinton has pledged to keep both of these illegal amnesty programs – including the 2014 amnesty which has been blocked by the Supreme Court. Clinton has also pledged to add a third executive amnesty.
Clinton’s plan would trigger a Constitutional Crisis unlike almost anything we have ever seen before. In effect, she would be abolishing the lawmaking powers of Congress in order to write her own laws from the Oval Office.
In a Trump Administration, all immigration laws will be enforced. As with any law enforcement activity, we will set priorities. But, unlike this Administration, no one will be immune or exempt from enforcement – and ICE and Border Patrol officers will be allowed to do their jobs. Anyone who has entered the United States illegally is subject to deportation – that is what it means to have laws and to have a country.
Our enforcement priorities will include removing criminals, gang members, security threats, visa overstays, public charges – that is, those relying on public welfare or straining the safety net, along with millions of recent illegal arrivals and overstays who’ve come here under the current Administration.
Number Six: We Are Going To Suspend The Issuance Of Visas To Any Place Where Adequate Screening Cannot Occur
According to data provided to the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, between 9/11 and the end of 2014, at least 380 foreign-born individuals were convicted in terror cases inside the United States. The number is likely higher, but the Administration refuses to provide this information to Congress.
As soon as I enter office, I am going to ask the Department of State, Homeland Security and the Department of Justice to begin a comprehensive review of these cases in order to develop a list of regions and countries from which immigration must be suspended until proven and effective vetting mechanisms can be put into place.
Countries from which immigration will be suspended would include places like Syria and Libya.
For the price of resettling 1 refugee in the United States, 12 could be resettled in a safe zone in their home region.
Another reform involves new screening tests for all applicants that include an ideological certification to make sure that those we are admitting to our country share our values and love our people.
For instance, in the last five years, we’ve admitted nearly 100,000 immigrants from Iraq and Afghanistan – in these two countries, according to Pew research, a majority of residents say that the barbaric practice of honor killings against women are often or sometimes justified.
Applicants will be asked for their views about honor killings, about respect for women and gays and minorities, attitudes on Radical Islam, and many other topics as part of the vetting procedure.
Number Seven: We will ensure that other countries take their people back when we order them deported
There are at least 23 countries that refuse to take their people back after they have been ordered to leave the United States, including large numbers of violent criminals. Due to a Supreme Court decision, if these violent offenders cannot be sent home, our law enforcement officers have to release them into U.S. communities. There are often terrible consequences, such as Casey Chadwick’s tragic death in Connecticut just last year. Yet, despite the existence of a law that commands the Secretary of State to stop issuing visas to these countries, Secretary Hillary Clinton ignored this law and refused to use this powerful tool to bring nations into compliance.
The result of her misconduct was the release of thousands of dangerous criminal aliens who should have been sent home.
According to a report from the Boston Globe, from the year 2008 through 2014, nearly 13,000 criminal aliens were released back into U.S. communities because their home countries would not take them back. Many of these 13,000 releases occurred on Hillary Clinton’s watch – she had the power and the duty to stop it cold and she didn’t do it.
Those released include individuals convicted of killings, sexual assault and some of the most heinous crimes imaginable, who went on to reoffend at a very high rate.
Number Eight: We will finally complete the biometric entry-exit visa tracking system.
For years, Congress has required a biometric entry-exit visa tracking system, but it has never been completed.
In my Administration, we will ensure that this system is in place at all land, air, and sea ports. Approximately half of new illegal immigrants came on temporary visas and then never left. Beyond violating our laws, visa overstays pose a substantial threat to national security. The 9/11 Commission said that this tracking system should be a high priority and “would have assisted law enforcement and intelligence officials in August and September 2001 in conducting a search for two of the 9/11 hijackers that were in the U.S. on expired visas.”
Last year alone, nearly a half a million individuals overstayed their temporary visas. Removing visa overstays will be a top priority of my Administration. If people around the world believe they can just come on a temporary visa and never leave – the Obama-Clinton policy – then we have a completely open border. We must send the message that visa expiration dates will be strongly enforced.
Number Nine: We will turn off the jobs and benefits magnet.
We will ensure that E-Verify is used to the fullest extent possible under existing law, and will work with Congress to strengthen and expand its use across the country.
Immigration law doesn’t exist just for the purpose of keeping out criminals. It exists to protect all aspects of American life – the worksite, the welfare office, the education system and much else. That is why immigration limits are established in the first place. If we only enforce the laws against crime, then we have an open border to the entire world.
I will enforce all of our immigration laws.
The same goes for government benefits. The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that 62 percent of households headed by illegal immigrants used some form of cash or non-cash welfare programs, like food stamps or housing assistance. This directly violates the federal public charge law designed to protect the U.S. treasury.
Those who abuse our welfare system will be priorities for removal.
Number 10: We will reform legal immigration to serve the best interests of America and its workers
We’ve admitted 59 million immigrants to the United States between 1965 and 2015.
Many of these arrivals have greatly enriched our country. But we now have an obligation to them, and to their children, to control future immigration – as we have following previous immigration waves – to ensure assimilation, integration and upward mobility.
Within just a few years immigration as a share of national population is set to break all historical records.
The time has come for a new immigration commission to develop a new set of reforms to our legal immigration system in order to achieve the following goals:
To keep immigration levels, measured by population share, within historical norms
To select immigrants based on their likelihood of success in U.S. society, and their ability to be financially self-sufficient. We need a system that serves our needs – remember, it’s America First.
To choose immigrants based on merit, skill and proficiency
And to establish new immigration controls to boost wages and to ensure that open jobs are offered to American workers first.
We want people to come into our country, but they have to come in legally and properly-vetted, and in a manner that serves the national interest.
We’ve been living under outdated immigration rules from decades ago. To avoid this happening in the future, I believe we should sunset our visa laws so that Congress is forced to periodically revise and revisit them. We wouldn’t put our entire federal budget on autopilot for decades, so why should we do the same for immigration?
Let’s talk about the big picture
These ten steps, if rigorously followed and enforced, will accomplish more in a matter of months than our politicians have accomplished on this issue in the last fifty years.
Because I am not a politician, because I am not beholden to any special interest, I will get this done for you and your family.
We will accomplish all of the steps outlined above, and when we do, peace and law and justice and prosperity will prevail. Crime will go down, border crossings will plummet, gangs will disappear, and welfare use will decrease. We will have a peace dividend to spend on rebuilding America, beginning with our inner cities.
For those here today illegally who are seeking legal status, they will have one route and only one route: to return home and apply for re-entry under the rules of the new legal immigration system that I have outlined above. Those who have left to seek entry under this new system will not be awarded surplus visas, but will have to enter under the immigration caps or limits that will be established.
We will break the cycle of amnesty and illegal immigration. There will be no amnesty.
Our message to the world will be this: you cannot obtain legal status, or become a citizen of the United States, by illegally entering our country.
This declaration alone will help stop the crisis of illegal crossings and illegal overstays.
People will know that you can’t just smuggle in, hunker down, and wait to be legalized. Those days are over.
In several years, when we have accomplished all of our enforcement goals – and truly ended illegal immigration for good, including the construction of a great wall, and the establishment of our new lawful immigration system – then and only then will we be in a position to consider the appropriate disposition of those who remain. That discussion can only take place in an atmosphere in which illegal immigration is a memory of the past, allowing us to weigh the different options available based on the new circumstances at the time.
Right now, however, we are in the middle of a jobs crisis, a border crisis, and a terrorism crisis. All energies of the federal government and the legislative process must now be focused on immigration security. That is the only conversation we should be having at this time.
Whether it’s dangerous materials being smuggled across the border, terrorists entering on visas, or Americans losing their jobs to foreign workers, these are the problems we must now focus on fixing – and the media needs to begin demanding to hear Hillary Clinton’s answer on how her policies will affect Americans and their security.
These are matters of life-and-death for our country and its people, and we deserve answers from Hillary Clinton.
What we do know, despite the total lack of media curiosity, is that Hillary Clinton promises a radical amnesty combined with a radical reduction in immigration enforcement. The result will be millions more illegal immigrants, thousands more violent crimes, and total chaos and lawlessness.
This election is our last chance to secure the border, stop illegal immigration, and reform our laws to make your life better.
This is it. We won’t get another opportunity – it will be too late.
So I want to remind everyone what we are fighting for – and who we are fighting for.
So I am going to ask all the Angel Moms to come join me on the stage right now.
[[PAUSE FOR ANGEL MOMS – EACH SAYS THE NAME OF THEIR CHILD INTO THE MICROPHONE]]
Now is the time for these voices to be heard.
Now is the time for the media to begin asking questions on their behalf.
Now is the time for all of us, as one country, Democrat and Republican, liberal and conservative, to band together to deliver justice and safety and security for all Americans.
Let’s fix this problem.
Let’s secure our border.
Let’s stop the drugs and the crime.
Let’s protect our Social Security and Medicare.
And let’s get unemployed Americans off of welfare and back to work in their own country.
Together, we can save American lives, American jobs, and American futures.
Together, we can save America itself.
Join me in this mission to Make America Great Again.
Thank you, and God Bless you all!

Social media users are resorting to humor to describe stabbing attacks where the attacker shouts “Allahu Akbar,” but police say the motive is unknown.
How do you describe an attack in which a person shouts “Allahu Akbar” (God is great) before attacking someone? Especially if the police go on to say they do not know the motive?
Social media users fed up of the inability of mainstream media outlets and governmental organizations to label terrorist attacks motivated by the Islamist ideology have decided to term it #allahuakbarsyndrome.
The “syndrome” is described in mocking terms as a sudden-onset mental illness that is spreading throughout the world, seemingly with no underlying cause.
The hashtag was coined by anti-Islamist activist Sohail Ahmed, himself a former extremist. He created it to prompt awareness about the way in which we talk about these attacks in a humorous way that can be easily understood and shared.
He also enjoys a good joke.
Such banter has a serious purpose. It holds up our government to scrutiny and helps us focus on the essential question:
What does cause people to scream “Allahu Akbar” before plunging a knife into a perfect stranger?

Imagine the Chicago Bulls of the NBA during the early Michael Jordan years. He was their top draft pick in the 1984 NBA draft. Jordan’s early years were filled with many, lows before he experienced the joys of winning six NBA championships.
During the Bulls’ down years, can you imagine Jordan’s first two coaches, Kevin Loughery or Stan Albeck, reaching out to student basketball players from the University of Illinois to ask them how to correct the Bulls’ problems on the court?
Do you think the Bulls would have gathered together five guys who played basketball at the local recreation center to get their thoughts on what the Bulls needed to do? The guys at the rec center always dreamed of playing professionally, but for whatever reasons, never got close to fulfilling their childhood dreams.
I am sure that Jordan and his teammates would have openly rebelled, if this had happened with them. I am also quite sure they would have been greatly insulted and would probably have all sought to play for other teams.
As improbable as this scenario is for most people to believe, this happens all the time within the Republican Party when it comes to the rare engagement with the Black community.
One need look no further than Trump’s meeting last week with a few unknown Black Republicans. The meeting was with members of the Black and Latino communities. I am focusing only on the Blacks in attendance, simply because I have more first-hand knowledge about the Black community.
There was not one Black who attended the meeting that had any presidential campaign experience! Not one attendee had any real campaign experience. Not one attendee displayed any institutional knowledge of or experience with seasoned Black Republicans.
In essence, those Black Republicans in attendance were like the basketball players from the rec center mentioned above. They may have fantasies of playing in the big leagues, but they have no real experience to play on that level. Yet, they are being asked to advise a presidential candidate. Really? I mean, really?
Memo to Republicans: This is offensive to Black Republicans who have dedicated their lives to being a professional political operative. I challenge my readers to find any example of a presidential campaign meeting with a group of Whites under the same scenario.
No presidential campaign would ever allow a group of Whites to meet with and advise a candidate, who have absolutely no political or presidential experience whatsoever.
Yet, they feel it is appropriate to approach the Black community in such a manner, simply because they are not serious about the Black vote.
This is yet another example of Republicans trying to do the right thing, but doing it the wrong way.
So, what should the party and the Trump campaign be doing?
If the party wanted to prove to Blacks that they are serious about real engagement with the Black community, they would be meeting and engaging with people like Odysseus Lanier, Ron Langston, Allegra McCullough, and Fred McClure, to name a few.
Lanier is a founder of one of the largest Black CPA firms in the country and a lifelong Republican. He is also an alumni and former chairman of the Board of Trustees for Alabama A&M University, a major historically Black university.
McCullough served former president George W. Bush as Region 3 Administrator for the U.S. Small Business administration. She was then promoted to the position of Associate Deputy Administrator, Government Contracting & Business Development for the same agency. She is considered an icon to the small and minority business community nationwide.
McClure was a top aide to former president George H.W. Bush and for many years was rated as one of the top lobbyists in D.C. He now runs the presidential library of the former president.
These are just a few of the top Black Republicans that many of the Blacks and party leaders involved in this election cycle seem to have forgotten. If you play in the NBA or Major League Baseball (MLB) and you don’t know who Spenser Haywood or Curt Flood are, you should be banned from playing in those respective leagues.
Without Haywood or Flood, you would not have free agency or players being paid the millions of dollars they are making today. Likewise, how can you call yourself a Black Republican and not acknowledge the contributions and the political acumen of the people listed above.
How can any serious presidential campaign have absolutely no engagement with Black Republicans like Lanier, Langston, McCullough and McClure? Unless and until the Republican Party reengages with Blacks like those listed above, on every level, no one, let me repeat NO ONE will ever believe that party leaders are serious about the Black vote.
When all is said and done, there is more said than done!

Below is a letter by a good friend of mine. Please take the time to read.
Jim McKinney retired in 2013 as an Army Foreign Area Officer with over 30 years of service. He most recently served as a Political-Military Advisor to the Commander, US Army Central in the Middle East, Senior Defense Official/Defense Attaché to Slovenia, Deputy Chief of Combating Terrorism for US Pacific Command, and the senior Security Assistance Officer for US Embassies in Albania and the Republic of Georgia among many other special operations, counter-terror, strategic and tactical assignments around the globe.
Divided or United? As goes my team, so goes my nation.
My faith in the San Francisco 49ers organization is shaken after nearly 50 years of unwavering loyalty. The immature, elitist and divisive action of a single individual has soured my love of a team and a sport that I believe so much represents the struggle, the importance and the hope of America.
I never questioned my commitment to the 49ers, or my love of football, until this morning when I read of the disrespect for the National Anthem from an overpaid, underachieving, privileged and divisive professional athlete.
I am saddened so many Americans lack understanding of what the Anthem represents. I am saddened because this protest shows a failure leadership on our team, in our education and in our nation. So many have worked so hard, and sacrificed so much to improve America. We have come so far from the dark days of the past – we have done so much to make the world better.
Some of my best memories are of watching the 49ers. By 5 years old, I was hooked. I learned to respect the individual toughness, work ethic and rewards of putting one’s soul into what they believed. I saw the importance of unity and its effect on a team – division led to loss, unity led to success. As I grew, I began to understand the struggles on the field transcended the game – they were lessons for life.
Other memories in my early years were more frightening. My father, a cop, faced off against race riots, anti-war protests, shootings, and domestic bombings. Vietnam cost our nation self-confidence, our sense of security, our dignity, and sadly many of our bravest for little or nothing in return. The struggle for equality seemed insurmountable, but with good will and for the right reasons things changed. In all cases, the team that worked together best – with the right purpose, unity and willingness to sacrifice – won, and the divided team – without understanding of purpose, and unwilling to sacrifice – lost.
As a young soldier during the ’81 season, I watched the moment that would create legends and a dynasty – “the catch.” For me, the 9ers became America’s team, representing the work ethic, the synergy that makes good into great, and the reward for unity of purpose.
For the next decade, the 49ers made football better, as I believe America made the world better. The west-coast offense, four Super-bowls, the fall of the “Wall”, the collapse of communism – the protection of individual human rights became the standard, not the exception.
My wife and five children have traveled the world supporting my military career, and our team. They struggled overseas with the challenges few Americans will ever understand – move after move, unsafe food supplies, limited medical support, no electrical power or water for days at a time, and the threat of bombings, kidnappings or assassinations. But we served a good purpose, honed our strength, and maintained our unity – and we succeeded. We always kept faith in the 49ers, and in America.
My oldest son, Tristan, went to his first 9er game at two years old. I was assigned to Berlin, Germany. We watched the game in the Olympiastadion, the very stadium where Jesse Owens embarrassed the Third Reich in 1936, 55 years before. Later I taught him the importance of what happened in that nation so many decades before. And I taught him what happened in that city just the year before, as the example of healing divisions, standing for beliefs, and how important America was in the struggle against tyranny. America stood firm in Berlin for 45 years, for the right reasons.
My youngest son, William, plays football. No – he lives football. He works hard with a purpose – to play high school and college ball. His dream is to one day be quarterback for the 49ers. He has the toughness, the work ethic and the sense of purpose to get there. William and I were to meet Tristan and their bother Brennen to see the game Friday night.
Brennen was to fly in from FT Carson, Colorado. He left as a fourth year engineering student to serve our nation as an infantry soldier. He serves honorably for a cause our family believes in – defending this nation and our Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
My boys bought tickets for me – a Father’s Day gift. The last 49er game I attended was that 1991 Berlin American Bowl in a newly unified Germany. Friday’s game was the first in 25 years for me, and the first ever for Will and Brennen. We hoped for a good game, and mature leadership on the field, but mostly we just wanted to be together.
Unfortunately, my boys bought the tickets before Brennen received orders for Afghanistan. In a strange twist of fate, Brennen arrived at Camp Dwyer, Helmand province the 26th of August, the day of the game. In a quandary of loyalty and desire, I told my family earlier this week that we couldn’t go without him. I said we would find the money and the time to go when he returned, and go together. That was before the game.
After the game, my faith in my team – and in my America – was fully shaken. I served over 30 years in the defending the rights guaranteed to all US Citizens in our Constitution, and to make the world a better place. Freedom of speech is paramount – and I swore an oath to defend it with my life, if necessary. We are blessed to live in a nation that allows such protest. Like so many, I have lost good friends and close family in this never ending and epic struggle to defend these freedoms. My son this very moment is risking his life to defend the hopes and promises outlined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. But we believe with free speech and expression come the responsibility to think before you act – and you reap what you sow. And we believe in unity, not division. To see the lack of leadership in my team, the lack of faith in our nation, as my son stepped onto the battlefield made me weep.
America is not perfect, but understanding the vision of our founding documents and respecting the laws, the institutions, and the people who sacrifice for them is essential for unity.

On August 26, 2016 the Florida Baptist State Board of Missions voted to continue its stance against the legalization of marijuana and encouraged the pastors of the Florida Baptist Convention to seek various information resources to help educate their churches in the importance of voting No on Amendment 2.
Last time this was on the ballot in 2014, the State Board expressed this opposition in the form of a resolution. Since a resolution was made last time, it was not felt another resolution was needed this time, but simply the statement opposing legalizing marijuana and the encouragement to pastors to educate their people on the importance of defeating this ballot initiative amending the Florida Constitution.
The following is the full text of the resolution passed in 2014:
RESOLUTION TO OPPOSE THE LEGALIZATION OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA
WHEREAS, the November 4, 2014, General Election ballot will contain Amendment 2 – the so-called Florida Right to Medical Marijuana; and
WHEREAS, the ballot initiative seeks to permit persons with nine specific medical conditions to have unlimited access to medical marijuana; and
WHEREAS, the Amendment also provides that medical marijuana can be dispensed without a physician’s prescription for broad but undefined “other conditions” which can include anything from back pain to trouble sleeping; and
WHEREAS, so-called caregivers will be legally permitted to dispense the drug to up to five persons without legal regulation; and a caregiver can be anyone from a felon to a drug dealer; and
WHEREAS, the State Board of Missions has individual and corporate empathy for those Floridians suffering from debilitating diseases, but the Board does not believe legalizing an addictive drug without strong regulatory oversight is an appropriate solution; and
WHEREAS, the effort to legalize marijuana is contrary to the interests of the public health, safety and welfare, and will adversely affect the rights of citizens to live and work in a community where drug abuse is not accepted and citizens are not subjected to the adverse effects of the drug abuse; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED that the State Board of Missions of the Florida Baptist State Convention, go on record to oppose Amendment 2 that will appear on the November 4, 2014, General Election ballot; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board call upon Florida Baptist pastors to diligently encourage their church members to promote and vote to defeat Amendment 2; and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that the Board request the Executive Director-Treasurer of the Florida Baptist Convention, to take all reasonable actions to notify and create awareness among Florida Baptists on the importance of voting against Amendment 2.
Every presidential election is meaningful. The 2016 election cycle is filled with firsts, seconds and thirds. One of the firsts is an organized effort by registered Democrats to vote Republican. These crossover voters are called “Trumpocrats.”
Life-long Democrat turned Trump supporter Christian Rickers, the Virginia-based executive director of the Trumpocrats PAC, told Breitbart’s Washington Political Editor Matthew Boyle that “Hillary Clinton is not representing any of the working people.”
“She’s not trustworthy on almost every single issue,” Rickers said on Wednesday’s Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM.
Rickers continued: “They are the architects of pretty much what has gutted out rural America and the rust Belt. They’re the reason the rust Belt is rusting.”
Bruce Carter, the founder of Black Men for Bernie.
There is something to be said about a person with real convictions. When you have your eyes opened, it is hard to then close them back. So, when you have an opportunity to open the eyes of others, you should jump at that opportunity.
This is what has happened to Bruce Carter, the founder of Black Men for Bernie. He has not been able to support Hillary as he now knows what the Democrat party is all about.
After the leak of internal DNC emails, Carter is convinced that the Democratic Party “rigged” the primary against his candidate and that Hillary Clinton’s Democratic Party has no intention of changing the policies that led to the destruction of the communities he’s working to improve.
Bruce Carter still believes that Hillary Clinton is the poster child for the kind of cronyism, corruption, and evil that the Bernie revolution was built to overthrow. He doesn’t believe Hillary Clinton when she labels Donald Trump and his supporters as racists because he knows she falsely labeled her opponents in the primary as sexist “Bernie Bros.” Carter’s preparing to take the experience, knowledge, and contacts his group built during the primary to campaign against Hillary Clinton and for Donald Trump and other Republicans in battleground states across the country.
Carter has come to see that the Left has no real concern for the minority communities they exploit. They directly use these communities as political power during elections and forgotten after the victory. Though he would differ on issues with men like Sheriff David Clarke, they would agree that the Left has left the Black and minority communities that they exploit.
Democrats feel disenfranchised and they are angry. Will they make a difference on November 8th? Time will tell.
The movement is real, not because of Trump, but because of Hillary Clinton.
Michael Matt and Christopher Ferrara consult moral theology, historical precedents and practical considerations in order to answer the fundamental question: Can Catholics vote for Donald Trump?
