Reuters reports: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement expects to arrest "more than 100" people in a raid on a Koch Foods Inc. chicken plant in Ohio on Tuesday, and the…
Illegal alien roundup

Who says "to live outside the law, you must be honest?"
Thanks to David Schraub over at The Moderate Voice, I found this piece that seems to endorse giving tuition breaks to illegal aliens, allowing them to pay the same in-state…
The rewards of breaking the law
Massachusetts has a rather odd dichotomy when it comes to illegal aliens and education. They give free schooling to children up through high school, and admit them to colleges without…
The New Colonialism
(Note: one of the greatest things about writing for Wizbang is the audience. This site has a truly amazing collection of commenters, whose contribution to Wizbang cannot be understated. I've…
Some frank talk on illegal aliens
My best friend and I have known each other for almost 20 years. One of the things I value most about our friendship is our mutual gift: if I don't…
I am shocked! shocked! to hear of this!
Yesterday was a stunning day for some business owners in Massachusetts. After immigration officials raided a bunch of waterfront businesses earlier this week, a whole bunch of their employees ran…
You can't con an honest man
It's an old aphorism, and for the most part it's true: most scams are dependent on the greed of the victim. They are convinced that they are getting something for…
Who says "to live outside the law, you must be honest?"
Illegal aliens have had a bit of a rough time in Massachusetts of late. In New Bedford, a combined sweep by immigration officials and the Coast Guard along the waterfront…
Compassion Uber Alles
Last week WRKO's John DePetro (now my favorite talk show host) had "Illegal Thursday," where he had two illegal aliens who would like to attend Massachusetts state-run colleges at the…
Fairy dollars
In the latest dust-up over whether illegal aliens should be granted in-state tuition to state-run colleges in Massachusetts, the Boston Redevelopment Authority is weighing in. In their learned opinion, granting…
Somehow I don't see the problem here…
I don't think I quite "get" Massachusetts. That is probably nothing new to regular readers, but there's a new example this morning that boggles me. In Massachusetts, it's apparently OK…
Muffy the liberal slayer
If there's one constant in life beyond death and taxes, it's that politics in Massachusetts is never boring. Next year there's going to be a race for governor in Massachusetts….
Getting in touch with my inner bomb-thrower
I've always been a bit of an anarchist at heart. Every now and then, something will come up that just brings out severe anti-establishment notions. Previously, my finest moment was…
Fruit of the poisoned tree
I've had my share of fun at Lawrence, Massachusetts' expense. I've called it "the armpit of the Bay State," among other things. Every now and then, though, I hear something…
Invasion is the sincerest form of flattery
Whenever I read another denouncement of the United States, be it from the far left, the UN, some international bunch of do-gooders, or someone else with way too much time…
I won't say "sanity prevails," but the insanity is reined in slightly…
There's good news and bad news out of Massachusetts this morning. Yesterday I mentioned that a bunch of illegal aliens held a rally at the State House to demand in-state…
"We're criminals, and we demand our rights to break even more of your laws!"
As I've said before, one of Boston's great strengths is it's one of the few two-newspaper cities left in this country. With the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald continuing…
There's something fishy about this guy…
There's nothing quite so satisfying in an argument as when your opponent says something that just perfectly encapsulates your argument for you. In the debate over illegal aliens, it's happened…
The silver lining in the illegal alien problem
I've always said that illegal aliens end up causing more problems and costing us more than any benefit we might gain. But then I read this story over at CNN's…
Killing two birds with one stone
The US currently has a number of problems on our plate, and our attempts to handle them all sometimes reminds me of Steve Martin's infamous "kitten juggling." But it occurred…
Pat Buchanan and the broken clock
I’ve written before how I don’t care for Pat Buchanan. I think he deliberately caters to the worst in his readers, and he often throws bombs just to stir up…
How do you say “don’t mess with Texas” in Spanish?
Never mind. I don’t think it translates….
