Donald Trump Calls for Amnesty at CPAC - Throws all Hispanics in One Bucket
This is more of the typical block-everything, solve-nothing immigration policy that has left Republicans on the short side of the vote in the past two presidential elections. We have followed this path for many years now and we are no closer to solving our nation's broken immigration system now than we were then. Read more » Posted under:

Rep. Allen West Speaks to Dallas Area Conservatives - New Leadership for America
West began his remarks with comments about our run away spending stating that during the month of February, the shortest month of the year, we ran up a $223B deficit. 47% of our $12,000,000,000,000 ($12T) is owned by foreign governments. Posted under:

In WWII, Japan’s highest ranking naval officer was Isoroku Yamamoto. Although he was Japanese, and his loyalties were unquestionably with The Empire, he studied for many years in America, graduating from Harvard University. Posted under:

The Obama Administration's lack of leadership on the threats from North Korea proves a pivotal point that has been recognized by political observers dating back to Thucydides: domestic politics influence foreign affairs. One of the reasons why Obama will not take a hardline stance on North Korea is because our economy is so dependent upon China. This is an inexcusable arrangement that can only be overcome if those in Washington put an end to irresponsible spending and if the Democrats quit pushing for the debt ceiling to be raised. 
Construction mogul Donald Trump stood before CPAC last week and called for a de facto amnesty for the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in this country. Trump said Republicans should block immigration reform because 100% of any new citizens created by immigration reform would be Democrats.
Today, I released the following statement in response to the House passage of H.R. 5827, the Sequestration Transparency Act of 2012, which requires President Obama to submit a report to Congress detailing how the Administration plans to implement the across-the-board spending cuts scheduled to be enforced in January 2013.

Tuesday I introduced H.R. 3811, the Keystone for A Secure Tomorrow Act (K-FAST). This legislation would allow Congress to directly and immediately approve the permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline. Congress already has the authority to act. According to CRS, “congressional action related to permitting of pipeline border crossings is a legitimate exercise of Congress's authority to regulate foreign commerce.” In fact, in 1973, Congress took similar action and passed the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act in order to build the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. 
Today, I delivered an address at the Hudson Institute. In light of the pending recommendations of the Deficit Reduction “Super Committee,” I argued that defense strategy should drive defense spending, not the other way around.
Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Congressional District 25 Republican candidate and former Mayor of Highland Village, Texas, Dianne Costa. This is the third of five parts of this interview. This segment focuses on Mayor Costa's views on National Security and issues related to Border Security. 
"When you set the bar low, you jump low," said US Rep. and retired Army Lt. Col. Allen West (R-FL) quoting one of his jump instructors from his early Army training. That is exactly what we have been doing in the House of Representatives when it comes to reducing the run away deficit spending habits of Barack Obama and Senate Democrats. Rep. West made this comment in a speech to Dallas County GOP activists recently at Sammy's Bar-B-Que in the shadows of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
