Are you a fine upstanding member of the Undocumented-American community? That's to say, are you (if you'll forgive the expression) an illegal immigrant?
Great news! Being illegal is now perfectly legal! Just for being one of the circa 12 million people who shouldn't be here, you can now be here indefinitely! If you were living and working in America illegally before Jan. 1, 2007, you're now entitled to one of the new Z-1 "probationary" visas. And your parents and spouses are entitled to one of the new Z-2 visas, and your children to the new Z-3 visas.
Don't worry: It's not an "amnesty." Every politician in America is opposed to amnesty -- if not the concept, then at least the word. That's why the visa starts with the letter that's furthest away from the one "amnesty" begins with. "Z" stands for zellout . . . no, hang on, zurrender or Zapatista, or some other word way up the other end of the alphabet from "amnesty." But the point is, at a stroke there will be no more illegal immigrants. Because being illegal means you're now legal.
First it was his world history class. Then he saw it in his economics class. And his world issues class. And his environment class. In total, 18-year-old McKenzie, a Northern Ontario high schooler, says he has had the film An Inconvenient Truth shown to him by four different teachers this year.
The crowd at South Carolina’s Republican convention cheered Saturday when former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney criticized a new immigration proposal and booed U.S. Sen Lindsey Graham when he defended it.
The immigration compromise between key senators and the White House was in the forefront at the convention as more than 1,000 delegates and Republican activists gathered. Many in the crowd wore stickers with “Senate amnesty bill” crossed out.
They cheered as presidential candidate Romney told them: “One simple rule: No amnesty.”
Victoria's Army, a division of Queers Undermining Israeli Terrorism (QUIT!), delighted Mother's Day shoppers in San Francisco on Saturday, May 12, with a fashion show outside Victoria Secret's Union Square storefront.
Al "Global Warming is gonna kill us all" Gore apparently needs three 30 inch displays and a 30 inch plasma tv in his office. Do as he says, not as he does, citizen.
It's funny how a gun can in stantly change your perspec tive on things, make you wish you could rewrite history.
State Rep. Michael DeBose, a southside Cleveland Democrat, discovered this lesson the night of May 1, when he thought he was going to die. That's the night he wished he had that gun vote back.
If anyone ever needed a lesson as to the folly of giving Palestinians "land for peace," let them talk with the people of Sderot, Israel. Since turning over Gaza to the Palestinians in exchange for a promise of peace in 2005, they have rained almost 1,400 rockets on this formerly peaceful town...Instead of making any move toward the peace they promised, the Palestinians have done just the opposite. They crowned their rejection of "peace" with Israel by voting in the radical terrorist organization Hamas as their government. Hamas campaigned on the promise that it would never make peace with Israel and would destroy it.
It's easy to forget the Islamic terror attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. In fact, the bulk of Americans already have.
Our government has precipitated this view by requiring nothing of ordinary citizens. There are no gasoline or ration coupons, there are no long lines to buy tires or other products used in the war, and there is no military draft. In fact, for the bulk of Americans, 9-11 was a television mini-series that played way back when. It drew oohs and ahhs when it ran, but now it's over.
It is the military alone that has paid the price. And for the bulk of Americans, that suits them quite well.
A Virginia Beach resident admitted in court to supplying illegal immigrants with phony green cards and other documents from a taco stand.

Kosovo is teetering on the brink of independence, showing just how far its prime minister, Agim Ceku, has come since 1999. Eight years ago he was the supreme commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army, the ethnic Albanian guerrilla organisation that fought against the Serb forces of Slobodan Milosevic, the former Yugoslav president.
Now the 46-year-old is sitting on a sofa in the government building in Pristina, statesman-like and confident.
