Legitimate executive powers have become weapons against Americans under Obama

The recent revelation that the National Security Agency has forced the nation’s largest telephone and internet providers to turn over records on hundreds of millions of calls by Americans is not disturbing because of the privacy issues at stake.

We Have a Welfare Problem, Not an Immigration Problem

Conservatives seem bent on turning the 2016 presidential election into a one-issue referendum on immigration, but it is an entitlement mentality among those immigrants that truly hurts the United States.

As Congress weighs major immigration bill, debate on illegal immigrant crime rates heats up

From the anecdotal evidence conservatives have been circulating as the immigration issue heats up again, you’d sure think that illegal immigrants commit more crime than legal immigrants. But conservatives should be careful about what selective evidence they present in support of their argument.
