Bill Introduced To Make English Official U.S. Language

Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) and Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) recently introduced legislation in both chambers aimed at establishing English as the official language of the United States government.

“A common language is the most powerful unifying force known throughout history,” King said. “We need to encourage assimilation of all legal immigrants in each generation. A nation divided by language cannot pull together as effectively as a people.”

“This legislation will provide much-needed commonality among United States citizens, regardless of heritage,” Inhoffe said. “As a nation built by immigrants, it is important that we share one vision and one official language.”

The bill is officially named the English Language Unity Act of 2011.

DHS internal report on illegal alien killing nun shocks readers

Illegal Immigrant and convicted killer, but set free

BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - After 16-year-old Ashton Cline-McMurray was brutally murdered, his mother took some comfort in hearing that at least some of her son's killers would never walk American streets again.

It's the reason why Sandra Hutchinson agreed with letting the purported gang members, several of them illegal immigrants, plead guilty to lesser charges. She says the prosecutor reassured her that, after their criminal sentences were finished, those in the country illegally would be deported.

"They said that they would never set foot, basically on American soil again. In other words, they'd be like in jail until they got sent back," Hutchinson said.

It's no wonder Hutchinson wanted her son's killers gone. Her son was disabled with cerebral palsy when he was attacked while walking home from a football game in Revere.

"They stabbed him. They beat him. They beat him with rungs out of stairs. They beat him with a golf club," Hutchinson said. "They stabbed him through his heart a couple of times. And through his lung. They stabbed him in his abdomen. He didn't have a chance, really."

The four purported gang members who killed her son pleaded guilty to lesser charges, from manslaughter to second degree murder, meaning they didn't serve the mandatory life sentence without parole that comes with a murder conviction...[Full Article]

Bills Modeled After Arizona’s SB 1070 Spread Through States




UPDATE @ 6:55 ET: North Carolina just became the 16th state* to introduce an SB 1070 copycat bill. Unlike Arizona’s law, the North Carolina bill states that only a “law enforcement officer who is authorized by the federal government to verify or ascertain a person’s immigration status” may enforce the new law. The effect, as I discuss below in the context of other states, is a blurring of the lines between state and federal immigration enforcement programs.

………………………………………………………………….

In Arizona’s state legislature, racial profiling is so 2010. It introduced a set of anti-immigrant bills last week that make last year’s SB 1070 look a bit like a passing nuisance. But outside the Grand Canyon State, SB 1070 is far from last year’s news. A round of similarly crafted and in many cases more extreme bills are now spreading all over the country.

At least 16 state legislatures* have introduced SB 1070 copycat bills in the current legislative session. They are undeterred by the suite of lawsuits that have thus far kept Arizona from implementing the most controversial elements of its law...[Full Article]

Pa. Legislators Propose Immigration Policy

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Several state lawmakers proposed the National Security Begins at Home illegal immigration bill Tuesday.

A press release from Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler County, announced the bill was aimed at “shutting off public benefits, employment access and all other economic incentives that continue to fuel Pennsylvania’s ever-increasing illegal alien invasion.”

“Just like any other national policy, America’s immigration laws must protect the lives, liberty and property of American citizens, rather than foreign invaders,” said Metcalfe. “Since the federal government remains AWOL in fulfilling its constitutional obligation to defend the states against foreign invasion, Pennsylvania state lawmakers have no choice but to stand together to advance the National Security Begins at Home package.”...[Full Article]
