Immigration Reform may have to wait!!!

Liberals believe they cannot achieve their aim of the legalization of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in the country without a comprehensive bill. For this reason, they oppose dealing with immigration reform with individual bills, as the Republican-led House majority intends to do.

Bergen: U.S. extremists worse than jihadists

"In fact, since 9/11 extremists affiliated with a variety of far-right wing ideologies, including white supremacists, anti-abortion extremists and anti-government militants, have killed more people in the United States than have extremists motivated by al Qaeda's ideology."

Latino auditions give voice to a more diverse stage community...in the Pacific Northwest

With the aim of diversifying regional theater, Latino theater company eSe Teatro hosted the first Northwest Latino Regional Theatre Auditions for an audience of casting staffers from Seattle Rep, ACT and Oregon Shakespeare Festival, among others.

Pelosi plays RACE card???

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has claimed that if it were only Irish people who were illegal then Republicans would have passed immigration reform.

"I think race has something to do with the fact that they're not bringing up an immigration bill," she said at her weekly press conference. "I've heard them say to the Irish, 'If it were just you, this would be easy.'"

Deportation Nation!

Perhaps, the stunning Jobs Report recently touted  was.... if accurate, made possible by ICE being asked to ramp up the amount of job "Openings" despite how many families are torn apart.

NYTimes: More Deportations Follow Minor Crimes, Records Show  : With the Obama administration deporting illegal immigrants at a record pace, the president has said the government is going after “criminals, gang

bangers, people who are hurting the community...

 But a New York Times analysis of internal government records shows that since President Obama took office, two-thirds of the nearly two million deportation cases involve people who had committed minor

infractions, including traffic violations, or had no criminal record at all.
