It’s Official: Green Cards Now Part of 2016 Debate
In one of the stranger quirks in the long arc of Western civilization, a green-tinted sheet of laminated paper— no larger than a drivers license— has done more to change the course of American history than many of the most intense debates and political upheavals that have occurred since 1776. This document, rarely discussed by the media, is the source of some of the most dramatic social, cultural, political, linguistic, educational and economic transformations that have occurred in our history. The document is known as a green card. It is handed out to foreign nationals who apply for permanent admission into the United States. A green card grants foreign nationals lifelong legal residence within the United States as well as: authorization to occupy any U.S. job, freedom to collect welfare, and a guaranteed track to U.S. citizenship and voting. For all of the extravagant, yet half-hearted and failed efforts to secure

Cruz: ‘Every Procedural Tool’ Should Be Used to Defund Planned Parenthood
Texas Senator and Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz said “every procedural tool” should be used to defund Planned Parenthood, adding that if there is a shutdown, it is the fault of Democrats, not the GOP on Wednesday’s “Hugh Hewitt Show.” Cruz was asked, “Should the Republicans refuse to fund the government if Planned Parenthood funding is there, even if it means a shutdown, Ted Cruz?” He answered, “Yes, we should use every procedural tool we have to stop the taxpayer funding of Planned Parenthood. This should not be a difficult question. This is something I have been calling for for many, many days. Anyone who hasn’t watched these videos, these videos are horrifying. They show senior Planned Parenthood officials laughing and sipping chardonnay, while they barter and sell the body parts of unborn children. I want to encourage everyone, if you can stomach it, to watch these videos, and even if

Cruz: Iran Inspections Same As Calling Iran and Asking If They Have Nukes
Texas Senator and Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz argued that based on a “classified briefing of the deals of the inspection regime” of the Iran deal “These inspections are not materially different than if we simply picked up the phone and called the ayatollah and asked him, ‘Excuse me, sir, are you developing nuclear weapons?’” on Wednesday’s “Hugh Hewitt Show.” Cruz reacted to President Obama accusing the Republicans of having “common cause” with Iran’s hardliners by stating, “it is just sad the levels to which this president and the Democratic Party today will stoop.” Cruz continued, “Iran gets twenty-four days notice, which on its face makes a mockery of the promise of anytime, anywhere inspection,s and indeed, if you think about it, in a local law enforcement setting, imagine if the state of California passed a law that said law enforcement cannot execute a search warrant on a drug lord

Graham: Obama ‘Delusional, Naive and Uninformed’ About the World
Wednesday on the “Hugh Hewitt Show,” Republican presidential candidate Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) responded to President Barack Obama saying earlier in the day Iranian hardliners chanting “death to America” are “making common cause” with Republicans.” Graham said, “It just shows you how delusional, naive and uninformed our president is about the world. This is the man who tells you the deal with Iran is good. This is the man who withdrew all our troops from Iraq when told not to do so by our military commanders. This is the man who did not impose a no-fly zone and help the Free Syrian army when everybody advised him to do so three years ago . This is the man who said ISIS was a JV team, you don’t have to worry about these guys. This is the guy who says I killed bin Laden, al Qaeda is decimated. At what point

Boxer: We Need Deal Because Iran Is ‘A Terrible Actor On the World Stage’
Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) defended the Iran nuclear deal by stating, “We know Iran is a terrible actor on the world stage. That’s why we need this agreement” on Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hardball.” Boxer said, “Well, I think the president and President Kennedy, both presidents, Kennedy was a truth-teller. Barack Obama is a truth-teller. This is very, very similar, because it’s a vote of conscience, and the alternatives are very, very clear. And I remember those painful days of the Iraq War, and believe me, I didn’t sleep much in those years, because I was trying so hard to stop it. And it just went on and on for so long. And we see the results of it here at home. So, we have an opportunity here to take the path that offers hope. And you know, I came out with my statement after I met with our allies,
