Discussion on how entitlements and possible reform will shape our future.

Whether the legislation is tough or tender, the phenomenon of illegal immigration is here to stay.

While there is no such wide-ranging immigration reform bill currently making the rounds in Congress, the "Stopping Trained in America Ph.D.s from leaving the Economy" (S.T.A.P.L.E.) Act, sponsored by Rep. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) has bipartisan support and is a step in the right direction.

The Republican presidential debate Thursday night sponsored by Fox News and Google gave primary voters and caucusgoers at least one good reason to reject every candidate on the stage. The interesting question now is whether someone else will enter the race.

Good fences make good neighbors, or so House Republicans believed when they passed a tough measure to combat illegal immigration.

If Washington continues to shirk its responsibility at the border, state officials who represent the taxpayers footing the bill should force Washington to meet its responsibility at the Treasury.

Immigration reform is not dead, but it will take some fancy footwork to pass it in the 109th Congress.

Effective border controls must be in place before comprehensive immigration reform can occur.
