April 26, 2019 by GregC

David French of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America celebrate stronger than expected economic growth of 3.2 percent in the first quarter of 2019.  They also pour cold water on the absurd notions that Anita Hill was treated unfairly by the Senate Judiciary Committee in 1991 and that Clarence Thomas is somehow assumed guilty of doing what she accused him of doing.  And they react to a judge in Massachusetts and the mayor of Baltimore finding themselves in heaps of legal trouble.

Listen to “Swetnick’s Changing Story, GOP House in Danger, Hirono’s Latest Hit” on Spreaker.

Mazie Hirono if allegations that Kavanaugh threw ice at someone in a car 33 years ago is disqualifying for his bid to be a Supreme Court justice and Hirono gives another ludicrous response.

July 19, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Dems Slip on ICE, Red Ink Rising, Putin’s Pathetic Proposal” on Spreaker.
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America are amazed that more than 90 percent of House Democrats either opposed a resolution supporting Immigration and Customs Enforcement or refused to vote on it at all.  They also grumble as deficit projections once again head north of a trillion dollars and the number of food stamp recipients remains stubbornly high in a strong economy.  And they denounce Vladimir Putin’s proposal to allow U.S. investigators to interview the 12 Russians indicted for meddling in the 2016 elections in exchange for allowing the Russians to interview a former U.S. ambassador.

July 13, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “House to Vote on ‘Abolish ICE’ Bill, GOP Blows Strzok Hearing, Did Trump Damage Theresa May?” on Spreaker.
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America commend House Republicans for planning a vote on “Abolish ICE” legislation that Democrats have already begun to step away from. They also criticize tactics of some House Republicans during the Peter Strzok testimony, in which members seemed more interested in scoring a dazzling soundbite than effectively questioning the witness. And they question President Trump’s negative remarks about British Prime Minister Theresa May, noting the alternative to her government could be far worse.

‘They Don’t Want Immigration Enforcement at All’

July 2, 2018 by GregC

http://dateline.radioamerica.org/podcast/6-29-arthur-blog.mp3

A growing number of elected Democrats are now on record in wanting to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, a development that one immigration law expert believes has exposed the desire among many liberals to have fully open borders.

The trend started on Wednesday after avowed socialist Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez defeated 10-term Rep. Joe Crowley, D-N.Y., in a stunning congressional primary.  Reporters discovered Ocasio-Cortez wants to abolish ICE.  She publicly defended that position, saying ICE has run far off course by separating parent and children entering the U.S. illegally.

Thursday, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., echoed Ocasio-Cortez in supporting the abolition of ICE, appalled that the agency is acting like a “deportation force.”  On Friday, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced his solidarity as well, and “Abolish ICE” posters were frequently seen at rallies around the country over the weekend denouncing President Trump’s immigration policies.

Center for Immigration Studies Research Fellow Andrew Arthur helped write the homeland security legislation that created ICE in the wake of 9/11.  He says the Democrats are just trying to score political points.

“This is just a political stunt.  This is all political theater,” said Arthur.

“Blaming ICE for immigration enforcement is sort of like blaming the janitor for the mess that you left if you’re a member of Congress.  They created the laws.  They can change the laws,” said Arthur.

But Arthur firmly believes that Democrats do want open borders.

“They don’t want immigration enforcement at all.  There’s no other way to explain it,” said Arthur.

He says such a policy move would lead for a human tidal wave at our southern border since word would spread quickly that getting into the U.S. would guarantee they get to stay.  He also says it would lead to a massive increase in Mexican drug cartels pushing their products across the border.

The calls for abolishing ICE come on the heels of a passionate debate over ICE enforcing existing law which requires parents and children to be separated while the parents are prosecuted for an illegal border crossing.  Arthur stresses ICE is doing the job it was created to do.

“Immigration and Customs Enforcement performs many critical tasks.  They counter trafficking in the United States, child smuggling.  They go after foreign corruption, and they enforce the immigration laws of the United States.  To say that they’ve suddenly become a vast deportation force is to say they are exactly what they were when they were set up,” said Arthur.

Arthur says the immigration laws being enforced exist for a very simple reason.

“First and foremost, the immigration laws exist to protect the wages and working conditions of working Americans.  That’s not just United States citizens, but it also includes aliens who are lawfully here,” said Arthur.

Democrats are already touting legislation to abolish ICE.  Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wisc., is planning legislation that is short on details but would establish a commission to determine what duties ICE should be performing.

Arthur says that ambiguity is at the heart of the problem.

“They just don’t want immigration enforcement.  They don’t like the idea of it but they really haven’t thought through the ramifications of their proposals or their ideas,” said Arthur.

For his part Pocan, wants borders enforced for the purposes of stopping terrorists but is staunchly opposed to removing people from the country because they came here illegally.

The Democrats are looking to benefit from the family separation controversy in the midterm elections, and Arthur admits the images from the border have been difficult to watch.  However, he says Democrats are in for a big surprise if they think calling for the abolition of ICE will play well all over America.

“I’m supportive of the president’s policies but the optics of it were very bad.  There was no way to avoid that.  [Democrats] are now taking that policy and taking it way too far to an extreme.  I think that’s actually going to turn off independent voters who understand there is a reason why we have immigration laws in the United States,” said Arthur.

Dems Push to Nix ICE, Geithner Tied to Predatory Loans, Dems Advocate Court Packing

July 2, 2018 by GregC

Listen to “Dems Push to Nix ICE, Geithner Tied to Predatory Loans, Dems Advocate Court Packing” on Spreaker.
Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America tear apart the progressive left’s half-baked demand to abolish ICE. They also comment on the irony that a former Obama official who lashed out against loan sharks is now financing loan sharks. They also wonder why the Democrats want to add more seats to the Supreme Court while they are still out of power.
