Almost every single media outlet is opining the same talking points, “the immigration system is broken“.   Not true, we don’t have a broken immigration system, we have a broken enforcement system.
There is a legal process for immigration entry consideration into the United States.  It’s not new, and it’s not broken – IT’S JUST NOT BEING USED; and worse, the unlawful cross border entry is not being stopped.
The only broken part of immigration is the “border security”….

……It’s the border enforcement that’s broken.

Anyone ever heard of “Green Cards”, or “Alien Registration Cards”, or “residency visa’s”?  These legal processes for immigration entry are currently in place and have been for decades.    That system is not broken – it works well.
The problem is that illegal aliens don’t use the lawful application system – But that doesn’t mean the system is “broken”; it means the unlawful person chooses not to follow it.

Liberals love to use talking points to create a narrative of crisis they can then proclaim needs to be fixed.   And just about every time they enlist the Prava-esque media in the construct the professional conservative political class fall for it.

MISSISSIPPI – Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-Miss.) primary challenger, state Sen. Chris McDaniel, is offering a $1,000 reward in exchange for evidence of voter fraud in his contentious primary fight that leads to an arrest.
The bounty stems from a report from a conservative blogger  [Charles C Johnson] published earlier this week outlining allegations from a self-identified African-American minister that the Cochran team instructed him to pay African-Americans $15 each to vote for Cochran in the runoff.
The pastor said he believed the tactic was widespread and drove thousands of voters to the polls, but he was paid for the interview by a conservative blogger, raising doubts about the legitimacy of his claims. (more…)

The earlier, and original expose’/article by freelance reporter Charles C Johnson failed to mention that Johnson paid a Mississippi pastor, Stevie Fielder, for his information.   On it’s face that ‘failure to inform’ might not seem like a big deal, and hopefully it is not, but when you leave such a visible crack inside such an explosive story you open yourself up to attacks.    Interview with Charles C Johnson about the investigation HERE 
The Breitbart article below cleans up some of the clouded details.   After listening to over an hour of recordings, discussions and explanations of research – one thing is certain: 

This is more than enough evidence to force another election.   Actually this is more than enough information for the FBI to begin arresting Cochran campaign organizers in and around Mississippi.  Perhaps even Senator Cochran himself.

[Breitbart]  A black Mississippi pastor has emerged to claim Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-MS) campaign paid “thousands” of Democrats $15 each to vote in the June 24 GOP runoff – and that he was part of the scheme.
Rev. Stevie Fielder, an associate pastor at First Union Missionary Baptist Church in Meridan, Mississippi, says Cochran’s campaign “told me to offer blacks $15 each and to vote for Thad.”
Fielder, who was paid by freelance journalist Charles C. Johnson for the story, provided a new outlet launched by Johnson—GotNews.com—with four text messages from a person purporting to be Cochran campaign staffer Saleem Baird.
The messages cite an official Cochran campaign email address—[email protected]—and include detailed discussions of the campaign providing envelopes of money to distribute to people who vote.
“Send me individual names and amounts along with home address to [email protected] and I’ll have money separated in envelopes at the office waiting for you,” one message, sent three days before the runoff, says. (more…)

JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now) –  The Mississippi Tea Party President says they’ve found evidence that nearly 800 voters crossed over in Tuesday’s runoff election that should not have been allowed to vote Republican. (more…)

Two distinct political type investigations are going on simultaneously in Mississippi.   The first is to identify exactly who was behind the racist Robocall to democrats in an effort to manipulate the vote counts; and also identify the people behind the racist flyers.  Most research seems to indicate former Republican Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, and his political PAC, as the source of the race-baiting attack ads.  
The second investigative aspect is an actual legal challenge to the results.    Preliminary review is turning up widespread fraud from Democrats who voted in their own party primary on 6/3/14 and then voted again in the Republican primary runoff on 6/24/14.  Those cross party votes would be considered illegal and discounted if challenged legally by the McDaniel team.   [Mississippi is an open primary state, but you can’t vote for one party then vote again in the runoff that was not the party of your original vote].

This example shows 3 Dems on one page of the voter roll who committed fraud.  There are thousands and thousands of pages which would have to be reviewed. More information is available HERE

More than 25,000 Mississippi Republicans voted for conservative McDaniel over establishment Cochran in the GOP primary runoff.   However, approximately 35,000 Democrats went to the polls and voted for Cochran – that’s how he squeaked out a victory.  Most people agree the cross-party manipulation above was the cause.
(American Spectator) Who paid for it? Who will investigate it? Who will apologize for it? “It” being the flier distributed in the Mississippi Senate GOP primary, as seen here, whose headline reads: “The Tea Party intends to prevent blacks from voting on Tuesday.”

The irony will be lost on the professional political class.

Mississippi Democrat Bennie Thompson asks GOP Thad Cochran to repay the Democrats in Mississippi for helping him win his re-election.

MISSISSIPPI – Senator Thad Cochran (R., Miss.) needs to reward the black voters who crossed party lines to support him in his runoff against tea party challenger Chris McDaniel by backing some concrete policy initiatives, according the the state’s only member of the Congressional Black Caucus.
“We have historically black colleges in our state who do the best job they can trying to educate our citizens,” Representative Bennie G. Thompson told National Review Online during a Wednesday interview at the Capitol. ”I’d like to see efforts that they receive full funding. I’d like to see the health care of our citizens improved; our children die too young. I’d like to see an increased effort to make sure that the minority unemployment rate inn our state is reduced. So, there are a lot of opportunities for us to start with.”  (read more)

Today Mitch McConnell, K Street lobbyists, and the NRSC are all backslaps and smiles…congratulating one another on their ability to get out the black vote in Mississippi.  Why?  Because they couldn’t have maintained their hold on the Republican Party without them.
The K-Street Lobbyist crowd sent out robocalls implying the Tea Party and Chris McDaniel were racist, because they opposed Obama’s agenda. The calls told voters to “say no to the Tea Party and their disrespectful treatment of the first African-American President.” There were even flyers claiming that a McDaniel victory would stop black Americans from voting.
What do they call their solution?  “Expanding the Electorate”.

HatTip WeaselZippers – (Via The Hill) Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), a former chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has been placed on the ballot for re-election by a federal district judge in spite of universal agreement that he didn’t meet the plain-language election filing requirements.

Judge Matthew Leitman ordered that Conyers be put back on the August ballot last week after the Michigan secretary of state had denied the congressman’s appeal earlier in the day.

The dispute stems from the failure of Conyers — who has been in Congress for almost 50 years — to submit enough petition signatures to qualify for the ballot under Michigan law. No one disputes that Conyers did not meet the legal requirements to be on the ballot, but Leitman ruled that “There is evidence that their failure to comply with the Registration Statute was the result of good faith mistakes and that they believed they were in compliance with the statute.” (more…)

ALABAMA  − Less than three months before the June primary, four Alabama counties had more voters on their rolls than what the Census Bureau says is their voting age population.
Officials give a number of reasons for that, including under-counting by the census.
Secretary of State Jim Bennett said the discrepancies create opportunity for voting fraud.
“Every duplicate name and every bad address is just an opportunity for crooks to attempt to manipulate our elections,” Bennett said.
Each county has a three-person board of registrars that is responsible for maintaining the voting lists with help from the secretary of state’s office. (more…)
