Over the last quarter century, the Hispanic population of the United States has exploded. Immigration laws have been ignored. The huge border separating the U.S. and Mexico is virtually unpatrolled. And the illegal population of recent immigrants has been offered a series of amnesties forgiving past trespasses. Some within that community and it is certainly […]

Last October 26, the venomous anti-U.S., anti-Israel, socialist organization A.N.S.W.E.R (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) held a massive rally in Washington to denounce the impending war on Iraq.
