This is the deal breaker on any immigration proposal that any may offer – seal the border first then we will consider amnesty or path to citizenship or any other package some pontificating politician may think proper.

Secure the border. Secure the nation as required by the Constitution. If not the Great Wall of China, then the 600-mile-long Saudi fence under construction might provide a guide for the clueless.

Every other nation demands secure borders and so do we. President Barack Obama’s leftist financier George Soros with his “Open Border Society” corruption be dammed. Build the fence. Do the work the law requires.

ISIS stones woman to death for adultery.

Updated: Contrary to the pontifications of the lame-duck President Obama, there is a real war on women, gays and civilization by Radical Islam. Radical Islam says so, provides photos with video and increasingly, even elected Democrats are making the same point. Radical Islam, not Republicans, is evil and even establishment media are finding these facts hard to ignore.

In this case, Breitbart.com carries video of an interview with Democrat Representative and Iraq War veteran Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) who argued that the Obama administration “refuses to recognize who our enemy is” on Friday’s “Situation Room” on CNN.

Analysis:  In a new staff report by Rep. Darrell Issa; investigators found IRS officials had “repeatedly changed their stories” about what went on and who was responsible for targeting the conservative and tea party groups who applied for nonprofit status according to the Washington Times.

“Nearly four years after the committee began probing complaints about disparate treatment towards applicants for tax-exempt status, the committee’s investigation is not closed,” the report concludes after giving a status check on what the investigation found and what questions are still outstanding.
