March, 2006

• On Immigration. 2006-03-31 7:19 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  I suppose I should comment on immigration, since it’s the hot topic of the week. 277 words.

April, 2006

• Still Immigration Protests?. 2006-04-10 4:36 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  Okay, the immigration bill was scrapped last week, so why are people still marching in protest today? 191 words.
• Malkin\’s Hasty Generalization. 2006-04-26 3:00 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  Mrs. Krehbiel has noted that I tend to rag on liberals more than conservatives, so this one’s for her: Michelle Malkin: The victims of illegal immigration. I tend to like Malkin’s blog because it’s mostly news and links that you never see in the media, but I find that when she writes opinions, they end up sounding a little shrewish. 507 words.

May, 2006

• May Day Survived. 2006-05-02 7:16 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  If you’re rabidly opposed to any form of immigration, and are looking for ways to hastily generalize the actions of a few individuals to encompass all 12 million illegal immigrants, you will undoubtedly want to visit Michelle Malkin’s blog to gather ammunition for your logically fallacious argument: The Day To Hate Republicans and Borders? What Borders? and The Pictures You Won’t See. 167 words.
• Malkin Screeches More Propaganda. 2006-05-03 5:16 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  More Malkin immigration hysteria: Reconquista is real. I might even go so far as to call it “screeching,” a word she would no doubt find incredibly offensive. In this particular rant, she applies her trademark “hasty generalizations” along with a dash of “appealing to fear” in order to drive home her point that we are under attack from Mexico. 337 words.
• Hot Air Worthy Of Name. 2006-05-04 4:11 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  Yet another example of either spin, propaganda, or ignorance from a blogger (this one happens to be conservative) at the new, aptly named, “Hot Air:” Pare Amnistia Ahora! The Cero Peso Campaign. 307 words.
• Minutemen Being Watched. 2006-05-10 6:09 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  By Thomas Krehbiel 120 words.
• Malkin On O\’Reilly. 2006-05-17 10:33 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  Another one I didn’t get around to posting yesterday. 236 words.
• Malkin Goes To 7-11. 2006-05-18 8:26 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  More ignorant anti-immigrant propaganda from Malkin: Michelle Malkin: 9/11, the Pentagon, and our borders. She thoughtfully discusses (ie. rants about) how some of the 9/11 hijackers got fake credentials at an illegal alien “day-labor” hangout in a 7-11 parking lot. 188 words.

August, 2006

• Missing Egyptians Caught… In Richmond??. 2006-08-14 6:21 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  Nice. They caught all of the 11 missing Egyptian students: All Missing Egyptian Students in Custody. I’m glad they caught up with the last two, but, erm, what were they doing in Richmond? 134 words.

January, 2007

• The Goode Position. 2007-01-06 12:53 AM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  Virgil Goode and his supporters apparently want to keep the immigration debate on the front burner. So let’s take a peek at it. 561 words.
• Twelve A Day?. 2007-01-12 5:56 AM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  Sheesh. I can’t hardly get through one misleading SWAC Blogger post before another misleading SWAC Blogger post shows up in my reader: Political Correctness Will Kill Us … Part 8. I can’t keep up! 675 words.

May, 2007

• Redefining Amnesty Again. 2007-05-18 2:28 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  Words are funny, especially in politics. They rarely mean what Webster intended them to mean. For example, to Republicans, a “timetable” is an un-American, troop-hating, defeatist surrender plan. 313 words.

June, 2007

• Immigration Reform Not Quite Dead Yet. 2007-06-15 10:14 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  Some time ago, I theorized that immigration might be a spark that causes another group of states to try to secede from the Union. Now, with all the continuing uproar over the latest attempt at immigration reform, I’m starting to wonder if I might have been onto something. Republicans here in Virginia are seriously ticked off at politicians in Washington for even hinting at thinking about talking about “comprehensive” immigration reform again. 211 words.
• Are illegal immigrants safe from civil remedial fees?. 2007-06-26 10:20 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  (This was inspired by a bit of information in a blog post or perhaps a comment I saw somewhere in the Virginia blogosphere recently, but unfortunately I can’t find it anymore to give that person credit. Sorry.) 647 words.
• Immigration Frenzy. 2007-06-28 3:22 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  I’m late on this, but I guess the big national story is the dreaded immigration bill living to fight yet another day. Here in Virginia, where the conservative blogosphere has been pleading on a daily basis for people to call their senators and oppose the bill, the initial response seems to be stunned disbelief. (Both Virginia senators voted for cloture the other day.) 278 words.

July, 2007

• Bolling’s Op-Ed On Immigration. 2007-07-09 10:30 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  Much of Virginia Lt. Governor Bill Bolling’s recent op-ed on immigration makes sense. There’s a couple of things I disagree with, though. 389 words.

September, 2007

• Turning Them Loose In Herndon. 2007-09-07 12:17 AM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  Am I the only one that wonders about the wisdom of shutting down that Herndon Day Labor Center where (supposedly) illegal immigrants hang out? I mean, I would think it’d be better to keep the lawless Mexicans out in the open where you could see them, as opposed to wandering around the neighborhood with no money and no job looking for houses burglarize. (‘Cause Mexicans are criminals, ya know.) Not to mention losing the ability to keep tabs on all the people that hire the lawless Mexicans. 116 words.

August, 2010

• A Disturbing Civil War Parallel. 2010-08-03 11:03 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  We were watching Ken Burns’ Civil War documentary the other day, and I commented that I used to think it was impossible to imagine a civil war in America, but lately it seems more and more plausible. 138 words.

October, 2010

• Happy Knights of Columbus Day. 2010-10-11 12:55 PM.
  • Commentary
  • thomaskrehbiel.com
  
  In today’s political climate of trying to repeal the 14th Amendment – a clearly anti-immigrant sentiment – the irony of a federal holiday brought about to celebrate immigration is impossible to ignore. 154 words.

November, 2016

• Deportation Plans, What Do They Mean?. 2016-11-15 5:26 PM.
  • Politics
  • swampip.com
  
  In Trump’s interview for 60 Minutes [I can’t find a legitimate source for the actual video], which I’m pretty sure was recorded several days before it was aired, we heard that Trump plans to immediately deport 2 to 3 million criminal illegal aliens. Or undocumented workers. Or whatever you’re supposed to call them. But what does that mean? What is he actually planning to do? The sinister view is that he will do what he says: Round up 2-3 million Latinos and drive them out of the country in trucks. One can imagine scenes of terror as jack-booted thugs kick down doors and drag fathers away from their crying wives and screaming children. It’s possible that a small percentage of Republican voters may also be imagining exactly that, but I’m going to give them the overall benefit of the doubt. 444 words.
