UNC Protesters Behave Badly, Then Want Charges Dropped

Students at the University of North Carolina who were arrested for disorderly conduct during recent attacks on freedom of speech at the university, want those charges dropped and have asked the university to institute a "hate speech" policy for future guest speakers (read the article here). How disappointing that after these students' bully tactics failed in silencing one of the invited speakers, they would "demand" that their rude conduct be excused and throw around terms such as "hate speech." We would be doing a great disservice to our democratic liberties and freedom of speech if every time we can't successfully discuss or debate a point in a civilized manner we charge someone with hate speech. Standing up for securing our borders and enforcing our current immigration laws is our patriotic duty in maintaining the sovereignty of this nation.

E-Verify for Contractors Postponed Again

The Homeland Security Department is expected to delay the deadline again, from June 30, for mandatory contractor use of the E-Verify employment verification system, making it the fourth time that it has been postponed. Under former President George W. Bush's executive order, about 168,000 federal contractors were to begin using E-Verify in January. Contractors will now remain exempt from the E-Verify rule until at least Sept. 8. Read the whole story in Washington Technology.



 



Wisconsin Prepares to Give Illegals "Driver Cards"

A proposal in the Wisconsin state legislature would give illegal immigrants a license to drive while still preventing them from using the state cards as official IDs. Additionally, the proposal would prevent law enforcement from using the "driver cards" as a reason to ask whether their holder is in the country legally. U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, who authored federal legislation to restrict illegal immigrants' access to driver's licenses, said this proposal would encourage people to be in the state illegally, and we think he is right. Read about this proposal in today's Wisconsin State Journal.
