California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and Gov. Jerry Brown are contorting themselves into knots - like they're following some kind of political Kama Sutra - over President Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration.

Miles described this kind of phenomenon with what is now known as "Miles' Law" on political behavior, which states, "where you stand depends on where you sit."

The governor and several mayors there have thumbed their noses at our federal immigration laws, to the point where they are now actually tipping off illegal aliens about operations by federal immigration officers.
President Donald Trump is either "lying" or "delusional" by blaming Democrats for the lack of a fix for an Obama-era program protecting illegal immigrants brought to the country by their parents, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said Sunday. In an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," Kaine said Trump could protect Dreamers "in the stroke of the pen in the next five minutes."
U.S. President Donald Trump made a surprising threat on Friday to veto Congress' newly passed $1.3 trillion spending bill, a move that raised the specter of a government shutdown ahead of a midnight deadline to renew funding for federal agencies.

A Texas lawmaker is facing backlash after announcing a resolution to declare the birthday of one of most venerated Mexican-American leaders "National Border Control Day."

A sweeping $1.3 trillion budget bill that substantially boosts military and domestic spending but leaves behind young immigrant "Dreamers" cleared an important procedural hurdle Thursday as lawmakers struggled to meet a Friday deadline to fund the government or face a shutdown. The bill negotiated by congressional leaders, who hope for a final House vote later in the day, would deprive President Donald Trump of some of his border wall money and take only incremental steps to address gun violence.
