Ignorance is a matter of laziness, indifference, and apathy.
If you think data about illegal alien crime is hidden from public, just try to find information on the contagious diseases brought across our borders by illegal aliens from nearly 100 countries.
Because the worst of all worlds is when you pretend like you have an immigration policy, you make coming into the United States without our permission illegal, and then you actually don't enforce it.
The word nobody wants to use, but you see if you are here illegally, that's the punishment, deportation.
Our own civilization has lost its way, and this makes us even more vulnerable to Islamist nihilism.
The Left not only needs a victim class, it has proven adept at inventing new victim classes as a means of exacerbating social conflict.
Folks, the zombies are not on television - they are in Washington, D.C., and they meet at the Capitol Hill Club and call themselves 'Realists.'
What do we know about the diseases carried by illegal aliens? Not much, thanks to government secrecy, but we know enough to be worried.
Immigration is not going to be a 'side issue' in 2016 - it is the issue.
No migrant of any religion has a constitutional right to come to the United States.

Hillary Clinton cannot run away from her own record of incompetence or from the Obama record of abject betrayal.
Welcome to the brave new world of American multiculturalism. From a nation of diverse peoples united by a common culture, we have become a people divided by a common malady.

We strain to tell Americans and aliens in this country that there's nothing unique about America, nothing unique about American civilization, nothing that requires their allegiance, nothing of great value that they should sacrifice for.
We have to fight radical Islam wherever it exists. It's in Afghanistan, it's in Saudi Arabia, throughout the Middle-East in big numbers and it's in the United States.
We have to implant democracies where there are now dictatorships.
