An Article V Convention of States equals a Constitutional Convention that will put our existing Bill of Rights in jeopardy. An Article V Constitutional Convention is NOT a conservative movement, and we believe it WILL be misused. This movement is supported by both the Left AND the Right. Click_here to see all the different groups who are supporting a Constitutional Convention.

One supporter of a Constitutional Convention is billionaire George Soros, Chairman of Soros Fund Management and Chairman & Founder of Open Society Foundation.

It was in a Tucson barrio in 1991 that Charles Booker, a Presbyterian seminarian, came to know and never forget the “feet people”— strapped and desperate refugees fleeing U.S.-financed death squads in El Salvador and Guatemala. Booker was on an internship from his studies at the San Francisco Theological Seminary from which he would be ordained in 1995.

In Tucson, he joined the ministry of Pastor John Fife, co-founder of the sanctuary movement that, beginning in the 1980s, would grow to over 500 churches. Many would defy federal immigration laws by giving havens to the fleeing. Prosecutions of the safe houses, known as “The Sanctuary Trials,” often followed.   Continue reading “Presbyterian pastor stands with today’s sanctuary movement”

Gulf Coast refineries in Texas and beyond need new oil pipelines from Canada to cut down on their supply costs, a new report Tuesday from the IHS Markit research firm concludes.

Western Canada is projected to increase its crude oil sands production by nearly 1 million barrels a day by 2020, putting increased pressure on an already constrained pipeline system, and forcing more oil to be transported by rail unless new pipelines come online, the report contends.   Continue reading “Texas refineries need new Canadian oil pipelines, report says”

President Trump plans to sign an executive order on Tuesday meant to rein in abuses in a visa program that lets some companies replace American workers with foreign ones.

The order would target so-called H-1B visas, which Congress created in 1990 as a way to help companies that can’t find highly skilled technical workers hire foreigners able to do the job. Many companies still abide by the intent of the program, but others seem to be using H-1B visas simply to replace American workers with foreigners willing to work for less.   Continue reading “Trump takes on outsourcing with new executive order”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court sidestepped a turbulent debate over illegal immigration on Monday, turning away an appeal by a group of asylum-seeking Central American women and their children who aimed to clarify the constitutional rights of people who the government has prioritized for deportation.

The families, 28 women and 33 children ages 2 to 17 from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, had hoped the justices would overturn a lower court’s ruling preventing them from having their expedited removal orders reviewed by a federal judge.   Continue reading “U.S. top court leaves intact ruling against Central America asylum seekers”
