Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth   Getty Senator Cruz is on board with The Donald in challenging the 14th Amendment in court. With the heightened political concern over illegal aliens, aka undocumented immigrants, and The Donald making immigration and walls a centerpiece of his campaign we will undoubtedly be hearing a lot about this in coming months. After the election? Who knows, the can has been kicked down the road for so long it is hard to imagine something actually getting done in Washington on the issue. With Cruz praising The Donald at almost every opportunity is it possible there is an alliance forming? The thought has crossed mind that in the unlikely event The Donald receives the GOP nomination Cruz just might be the VP pick. Certainly plausible. There is a long way to go however and things can change quickly in this game.   Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Wednesday that he "absolutely" supports ending birthright citizen...

Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth We should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us he shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birth-place or origin. But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn’t doing his part as an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. . . We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people. Theodore Roosevelt There are those who think surveys are fleeting an...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -v s- Tyranny While OWS has been grabbing headlines all over America the retread governor of the Peoples Socialist Republic of California is continuing to prove he is clueless. Well, to be fair he actually does know a lot about battiness. In his most recent bat crap craziness Jerry {Moonbeam} Brown has just signed into law the "California Dream Act." This bat excrement parchment of legislative progressive idiocy grants illegal aliens financial aid at public universities and community colleges, compliments of the taxpayers of what once was the Golden State of California. From the Los Angeles Times ... Gov. Jerry Brown on Saturday granted illegal immigrants access to state financial aid at public universities and community colleges, putting California once again in the center of the nation's immigration debate. But he vetoed a measure that would have allowed state universities to consider applicants' race, ge...

by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism I must confess, the left has a way of perpetually amusing the more reasonable and forever pandering to those that can put and keep them in power. At the expense of the American Republic. Arizona, in continuing its attempt to respond legislatively to control the steady stream of illegal, and thus criminal, immigration is once again vilified by a pandering and bleeding heart cadre of leftist hyperbole. Of course the illegal and criminal immigration goes beyond just Arizona. As we know the apparently impotent Federal Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization and its enforcement arm has essentially done little to nothing to stop and control the flood of illegals into the country. This from NYT's opinion page. Arizona made itself ground zero for a new nativism last year with a radical policing law that encouraged racial profiling and declared the mass expulsion of undocumented immigrants to be offici...

By: Les Carpenter III Rational Nation USA It never ceases to amaze me how the progressives of this nation can find terms to redefine,  and thereby attempt change the publics perception of reality. Immigration is just one such issue. Common sense and logic tells us there are two types of immigrants. The first type is the legal immigrant. Individuals who come to this country in search of  new a beginning. They obtain the proper documentation, follow the rules, and most often become United States Citizens. The second type is the illegal immigrant. The ones who sneak across our borders and obviously fail to gain documentation. Unless it is perhaps bogus identification bought through illegal channels.  A clear distinction. The first has a right to be in our country. The second does not.  The progressive  mindset views illegal immigrants as "undocumented immigrants", conveniently leaving out the  illegality  of their...

Immigrants are self-deporting from Arizona, showing that if we enforce the law immigrants will go peacefully. It also provides a rare opportunity to test ideas. Anti-illegal immigration people are tired of hearing “...jobs Americans won’t do,” while others insist we need to import cheap labor. Will Arizona collapse without its cheap labor? Or will previously unemployed Arizonans pick up the slack? Drastically reducing the illegal immigrant population by allowing them free passage home would put this nation to the test. Could we do our own dirty work? We have 10% unemployment in this country and college students who need money; I think we could. Unfortunately, we will probably never be able to test this question at the national level. Americans Won’t do the Jobs because the Pay is Crappy! Supply and demand works in the labor market as well. Employers compete for employees by offering pay and incentives. Bring in illegals who can be intimidated and abused in...

By: Les Carpenter III Rational Nation USA President Obama today decided (no surprise) to slam Arizona's approach to immigration reform as "demagoguery." Yup, yet another decidedly leftist political statement from the current empty suit in the Oval Office. Anyone hearing "The First Post American President" here? This fish out of water also spent time defending his administration's lawsuit against Arizona's SB 1070. A bill that serves to merely do the job every administration since Dwight D. Eisenhower has frankly refused to do. Naturally this statist progressive collectivist administration, with all it's empty suits pulling the strings of federal power apparatus, has based it's argument on the supposition that Arizona's law "flouts the federal government's imperative under the 'supremacy clause' of the constitution."  Hold on to your hats folks, somewhere in this muddy mixture of BS and politics ...

By: Les Carpenter III Rational Nation USA I am a strong supporter of Arizona's Senate Bill 1070 and the states new immigration law. In fact I believe more American sovereign states ought to enact effective immigration policy based on Federal Law already on the books, however not enforced for years. When the Fed fails the people the states have both the right and obligation to fill the gap. And this is exactly what Arizona did with Senate Bill 1070. The recent protest in Phoenix against the new immigration law was met with soft and unrepresentative reporting by the main stream leftist media. A more accurate account of the socialist anti illegal immigration rally is to be found at American Power . The following are but a few visual images that went un-shown by the mainstream illegitimate press. Again h/t to American Power . I believe the pictures speak the obvious. Any rational thought was lost ...

By: Les Carpenter III Rational Nation USA There are many reasons the United States southwest border must be securely closed. The folllwing links to news reports out of Atanta's WSBTV are perhaps the most compelling. http://www.wsbtv.com/video/23438021/index.html http://www.wsbtv.com/video/23438712/index.html It is shocking this is only now becoming public knowledge. The question to ask... "what is Homeland Security doing to protect us. From these reports it surely is apparent it is not enough. h/t Eronc63

By: Les Carpenter III Rational Nation USA We have an El Presidente who believes nations are not defined by their borders (this presumably includes their  national heritage as well) but rather by their bonds. This sure sounds like something from a liberal college focus group I once was forced to suffer through. The focus group was a bunch of crap and El Presidente is full of crap. Nations are most certainly defined by their borders. Just as they are defined by their language and culture. Any national leader who is so foolish as to not recognize this simple truth does not deserves to lead this or any nation. So El Presidente, please do us all a favor and resign from office before you embarrass yourself  further. Not to mention the national embarrassment you are to the American citizens you are supposed to represent and lead. There can be only one purpose for having such a belief... To prepare the way  for that glorious day tha...

By: Les Carpenter III Rational Nation USA Rational Nation USA's post yesterday discussing Arizona Senate Bill 1070, which is a) specifically concerned with controlling and stopping the influx of illegal aliens, b) has nothing in it that is unreasonable or unlawful, and c) is not racist... was an attempt to move beyond emotionalism and political pandering that is becoming so evident. The following video, a discussion with Hannity, Malkin, and Hernandez points up the disagreements between  those who support  rational thought and rule of law as opposed to the emotionalism and race baiting of the progressive left, and quite frankly the POTUS. Now that you have viewed the video take a moment to read what an individual had to say to Michelle Malkin in a letter addressed to her via e-mail. A person who readily admits to knowing or hearing nothing about Michelle until today. Click on the link here  to this e-mail....

By: Les Carpenter III Rational Nation USA Arizona Governor, Jan Brewer, has shown political independence and strength by signing into law a tough immigration bill that is at odds with the Obama administrations position on immigration. The bill will become the law in Arizona in ninety days. When signing the bill the governor had this to say; "Respect for the rule of law means respect for every law. People across America are watching Arizona." We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act. But decades of inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable situation".   As the governor of a state highly impacted by illegal immigration she understands the cost to her state, and indeed the nation as a whole. Her announcement came hours following the Presidents pronouncement that the the bill is " misguided ." The bill once it becomes law will make it illegal in the state of Ari...
