The danger of Dems' open borders policy

 Washington Examiner:

Democrats’ open-border policies and the influx of illegal immigration have effectively made every state and community a border town. The repercussions of this reality hit home in my home state of Maryland with the recent case of Ervin Jeovany Alfaro-Lopez, a Maryland church teacher charged with sexually assaulting multiple children. Alfaro-Lopez, a repeat offender who entered the country illegally multiple times, committed abhorrent acts against innocent children, leaving a trail of trauma and devastation in his wake.

This tragic incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by lax immigration policies and the failure of Democrats to prioritize the safety of American communities. Despite being ordered to be deported, Alfaro-Lopez was able to evade justice and continue preying on vulnerable people. His ability to exploit loopholes in our immigration system highlights the urgent need for stronger border security measures to protect our communities from such atrocities.

Yet even in the face of mounting evidence linking illegal immigration to crime, Democrats such as Rep. David Trone (D-MD) persist in their unwavering support for open borders. Trone’s recent claim that illegal immigrants should have the same constitutional rights as citizens, for example, is not only misguided but also dangerous. By advocating policies that enable criminals such as Alfaro-Lopez to evade detection and continue victimizing innocent people, Democrats are failing in their duty to uphold the rule of law and protect our communities.

The surge in criminal noncitizen encounters reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection is a direct consequence of failed immigration policies that prioritize the interests of illegal immigrants over those of law-abiding citizens. Democrats must acknowledge the reality of the situation and join forces with Republicans to address the crisis at our southern border. This means investing in robust border security measures, supporting our border agents, and implementing sensible immigration reforms that prioritize national security and public safety.

...

Many Democrats see some political advantage in the open borders policy even though a majority of Americans oppose it.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
