The Fall of George W. BushPosted by Lorren on September 12, 2008
Yesterday was the 7th anniversary of terrorists attacking the World Trade Center. If you weren’t holed up in a cave, you probably already knew that. It was on the news, and I’m pretty sure that was why all flags were flying at half mast around here… nobody that I know of died or [...]
Illegal Immigrants Return HomePosted by Lorren on August 23, 2008
Perhaps there’s one good thing about having a sagging economy… illegal immigrants are returning home in record numbers, according to Fox News.com.
The economy probably isn’t the only component to this mass exodus from the United States. Arizona’s new law that revokes the business license of people that knowingly hire illegal immigrants probably has a [...]

Lazy Americans And Their JobsPosted by Lorren on May 13, 2008
I saw this on Glenn Beck today… thought it was amusing.
I guess the New York Sun or some newspaper like that reported on one of their pages that they are having problems finding people to pick cherries because the governor won’t let them import workers from Mexico and Jamaica…
On the same page, right next to [...]
The Mexicans Don’t Want Their Illegals Back… Boo HooPosted by Lorren on January 17, 2008
Our state recently passed a law stating that companies who knowingly hire illegal immigrants will have their business licenses revoked. Despite the fact that it is currently being challenged in the courts, the law has had the effect of driving some illegal immigrants out of the state.
Now some Sonoran officials from Mexico are complaining [...]

An article in this previous Sunday’s Arizona Republic talks about how the illegal immigrants in this state are beginning to leave Arizona, in anticipation of the crackdown on businesses that hire illegals that goes into effect on January 1st.
Although the law doesn’t go into effect until January 1st, many small items of business have to [...]
What Should We Do With Anchor Babies?Posted by Lorren on August 23, 2007
The subject of anchor babies has been in the news lately, as Elvira Arellano, an illegal immigrant known for taking sanctuary inside a Chicago church, has been recently deported. She has already been deported once, and has an 8 year old son, Saul. Saul is an American citizen, and his mother chose to [...]
ID Theft Expected To Increase Because of New LawPosted by Lorren on August 20, 2007
Arizona passed a new law recently that should make most of us jump for joy. In order to get hired for a new job, employers have to search for your social security number in a federal database, and it has to match up with your name. This will probably have the effect of [...]
Thank You JanetPosted by Lorren on July 4, 2007
Normally, I’m not a very big fan of Janet Napolitano. I have to say, however, that this week I’m pretty happy with her. So I take back a couple things that I’ve said .
Janet Napolitano signed a very tough law that will deal very harshly with businesses that hire illegal aliens. [...]
Immigration Bill DefeatedPosted by Lorren on June 8, 2007
Yesterday the immigration bill was defeated. Good! Nobody seemed to like it anyway.
But we still have the problem of illegal immigration. And we still have approximately 12 million immigrants here in this country. What to do? I was watching the O’Reilly Factor earlier this week, and somebody remarked that rounding [...]
