Donald Trump would treat immigrants in a manner not seen since World War II

President Obama's plan to address immigration through executive order will destroy America.

Republican members of the House of Delegates are seeking answers from Gov. Martin O'Malley about how Maryland will deal with the unaccompanied children coming to the state in the wave of illegal immigrants from Central America.

Gov. Martin O'Malley, a presidential hopeful, has taken on yet another "pop issue," proposing that Maryland provide foster care to several thousand unaccompanied Central American minors, lest they be sent to "certain death." He has also championed abolition of capital punishment and the establishment of gay marriage, the Dream Act, and tax credits and fueling stations for electric vehicles whose technology is not ready for prime time.

A troubled Reservoir Hill property that came to be known as "Murder Mall" will be demolished under an agreement that's left some residents relieved, but others worried about where they'll go.

As Gov. Martin O'Malley has extended a welcoming hand to immigrant children fleeing Central America, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Anthony G. Brown and Republican rival Larry Hogan have staked out starkly different positions on whether he is handling the influx wisely.

Failure of U.S. to protect its southern border is the real crisis

The end result of unlimited illegal immigration

The Labor Department is expected to report this week that the economy added 235,000 jobs in July, and the unemployment rate remained steady at 6.1 percent. But that hardly tells the story.

Maryland religious leaders issued a call for families to offer foster care to immigrant children from Central America who may be on their way to Maryland as part of a national influx of unaccompanied minors fleeing violence there.

We need undocumented immigrants as much as they need us

The Texas governor plans to protect the border with 1,000 National Guard troops -- more than our president is doing.

Rather than spending billions on illegal immigrants — whether they're adults or children — the money should be spent at home.

The debate over our country's broken immigration system is not a new one, and the U.S. Catholic Bishops have consistently supported calls for comprehensive immigration reform. Our offer to provide humanitarian care to children in need should not be construed as an alternative response to the policies and conditions that have led to this crisis.

U.S. should welcome immigrant children as they did European refugees after World War II

Catholic Charities' plan to house 50 immigrant children sets dangerous precedent

Ellen Sauerbrey, the former assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, challenges the idea that the unaccompanied minors at the border count as 'refugees.'

What kind of human being looks at a humanitarian crisis and thinks: photo op?

The violence the children are fleeing in Central America is not our problem. It was our problem in the 1980s, but Americans have overwhelmingly decided that it isn't our problem now.

Gov. Martin O'Malley and a group of faith leaders agreed Monday that thousands of immigrant children who have poured into the United States should be housed in foster homes and other small settings, not large centers as the federal government has proposed.

Plan by Catholic Charities to house 50 immigrant youngsters at Timonium's St. Vincent's Villa deserves the community's support

Before they get a decision in their immigration cases — before they even have a hearing — the tens of thousands of children entering the country illegally will face an increasingly daunting challenge at the heart of a massive backlog in U.S. immigration court: The young immigrants must first find an attorney.

Officials in Baltimore County reacted Friday to a proposal by Catholic Charities to shelter 50 immigrant children at a facility in Timonium.

Letting men off the hook for contraceptives and child support

Catholic Charities wants to care for about 50 children from Central America at a campus in Baltimore County, seeking a role in the immigration crisis even though the consideration of other sites in Maryland met fierce local opposition.

State and local officials in Maryland stressed Wednesday that they are working with the federal government to identify a shelter for Central American children crossing the U.S. border after at least four potential sites fell through, including one that was opposed by Gov. Martin O'Malley.

Gov. Martin O'Malley came under fire Wednesday for advocating for thousands of children entering the U.S. illegally while simultaneously trying to waive the White House off a potential shelter in Westminster, Md.

A spray painted message exposes the political heart of the furor over undocumented minors crossing the southern border.

Immigration crisis threatens America

Violence in Central America isn't new; it's the president's policies that are driving the border crisis, Jonah Goldberg writes.

WASHINGTON — Carroll County officials voiced swift opposition Friday to news that the federal government is eyeing a former military property near Westminster as a potential a shelter for immigrant children — underscoring the challenge the Obama administration faces as it tries to manage a surge of new arrivals.

The federal government will run out of money to deal with the influx of Central American children crossing the U.S. border illegally this summer if lawmakers fail to approve $3.7 billion in emergency funds, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson told a Senate panel Thursday.

No amnesty for illegal immigrants

President's failure to address security threat posed by illegal immigration is disastrous

Thousands of unaccompanied minors from Central America are crossing illegally into the U.S. not because they want a better life but because they want to stay alive

President Barack Obama asked Congress Tuesday for $3.7 billion in emergency funding to address the influx of children from Central America entering the country illegally, a first step in what the White House described as a broader effort to speed deportations.

It's past time for another presidential initiative to consider ways to improve conditions in Central America, address the challenges of drugs and migration, and work with all responsible actors in the region. In the spirit of President John Kennedy's Alliance for Progress, this should not be a purely North American venture. Frankly, given our recent perceived indifference, that wouldn't be taken seriously by many of our neighbors in any event.
