U.S. ICE Finally Steps Up Arrests Of Illegals

As most Americans expected, President Donald Trump is bent on delivering on one of the core promises he made during the campaign which got him elected: to arrest illegals and ensure that they face the fall brunt of the law.

New data obtained by the Washington Post's Maria Sacchetti show that during the first several weeks of the Trump administration (through 13 March), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 21,362 illegal immigrants — including more than 15,00 with criminal records that can stretch forever.

American Truth Won Over Alinsky's Belief

Saul David Alinsky (1909-1972) was considered as the founder of modern America’s community organizing. And, according to James Walsh of NewsMax, Alinsky has had more effect on American political policies in the 21st century via the Democratic Party and President Barrack Obama's administration than any other American.

Walsh added that President Obama and Hillary Clinton are examples of Alinsky’s adroit ability to mainstream his ideas and rules for socialist change through political personages. Obama, and to a lesser degree Clinton, had and do have an impact on the change of America’s heritage, ethos, racial relations, and political discourse.

Swedes Want To Curb Number of Migrants

Among the Europeans, Swedes are known for their tolerant society. However, the deadly truck rampage a few days ago by a frustrated asylum-seeker left many questioning whether the country's open-door policy for refugees swung open too far.

"We've taken in more than we can help, and I don't think that's OK," said Anna Lennartsdotter Lindbom, 42, a personal trainer in the Stockholm suburb of Alvsjö. "If we don’t get them to understand how our society works when they have grown up under a different system — that can be a problem."
