Weekly Wrap-Up

In our most recent Weekly Poll, 97% of respondents support measures similar to the law in Arizona that increase enforcement of America’s immigration laws.

Unfortunately, Gov. Paterson is taking our state in the opposite direction. He wants to weaken enforcement of immigration laws and pardon immigrants who face deportation.

The Times and Gov. Paterson try their best to dress this up as a “compassionate” measure reserved for “legal” immigrants – but for anyone who doesn’t think this is just the first step towards making New York a “sanctuary” state for illegal aliens, I have a bridge to sell you.

And by the way, none of those “sanctuary” cities seem willing to offer sanctuary to the more than 400,000 illegal aliens living in Arizona.

Gov. Paterson isn’t the only New York politician who’s out of touch with reality.
From “lone wolf” Chuck Schumer to Michael Bloomberg and his blame-America-first reaction to the attempted Time Square bombing (and his ongoing “irresponsibility race,” as the Post puts it, with Gov. Paterson), we’ve got more than our fair share.

Charles Krauthammer offers a much-needed “voice of reason” to the debate over Miranda rights and terrorism.

Are we headed for our own Greek tragedy here in New York?

Tell us what you think in our new Weekly Poll.

Maybe it’s me, but if we were back in the Bush years I can’t imagine the media heralding a rise in the unemployment rate as a good thing – but times have changed.

See why The Heritage Foundation calls this “A Recovery Only Washington Could Love.”

And finally, Sen. Harry Reid joins Kirsten Gillibrand in the ranks of Senate hypocrites...

Have a great weekend!
