Santorum on Backdoor Immigration.

I'm not sure how many of you are into caucuses, but I sure am. That's why I took a moment to research each candidate recently. I was particularly interested to see where they stood on immigration and amnesty for illegal immigrants - sometimes called "backdoor immigration."

I began my research by Googling candidate Rick Santorum and backdoor immigration.

You'll never believe what I found! With Santorum in the mix, today's caucus could turn really messy.

Evidently, Santorum is totally against backdoor immigration and believes high unemployment is a byproduct of mixing foreign laborers with American workers. Santorum shows this issue is simply bubbling beneath the surface, waiting for someone to pull out the facts and show it for what it is - disgusting.

Santorum has made me really reconsider the need for something to block backdoor action along the border - if you know what I mean. I'm happy to see Santorum is all over it. Santorum has it covered.

I don't know who you're supporting for president, but I'm fairly certain President Obama won't want to mix it up with Santorum anytime soon.

Late-Surging Kim Jong-un Looks to Rally Voters Ahead of Iowa Caucuses.

Kim Jong-un started the new year riding the wave of a strong finish in the last major poll before Tuesday's Iowa caucuses and looked to rally his supporters in a series of events on Sunday.

There were few surprises in Saturday's Des Moines Register poll - front runners Mitt Romney and Ron Paul finished 1-2 as they had in other polls during the week. But the Register poll showed Jong-un, who just weeks ago was nearly unknown outside the highest levels of the North Korean regime, pulling ahead of rivals Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry.

Jong-un's rise is the latest in a campaign-long series of votes testing crazed world-leaders against Romney, who is favored by establishment Republicans and has finished at or near the top in most polls since announcing his candidacy last summer.

Jong-un said he knew his turn would come.

"People have asked me 'When are you going to get your surge, you're not going anywhere'" the North Korean supreme leader and son of the late Kim Jong-Il said Sunday at a diner in rural Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. "I said my surge is going to come on January 3rd after the people of Iowa submit to my powerful army and nuclear weapons. Death to America."

While Jong-un is benefiting from the buzz of poll results, other candidates are taking notice and have sharpened their criticism of him in recent days.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry was the front-runner last summer, but was eclipsed following a series of debate fumbles. Perry took a moment on Sunday to detail the differences between the young North Korean leader and himself.

"There are a lot of differences between myself and Kim Jong-un, as Michele (Bachmann) pointed out he's young and untested. He inherited his position - he didn't work for it. I'm going to let him explain to the American people why they should just give him the job because of who his father was. That's not being fiscally conservative. He's just another out-of-touch Pyongyang insider and career despot."

Jong-un has not disclosed what will happen if he loses Tuesday's caucuses but insiders speculate he may endorse Bachmann.

A Personal Appeal from an Author of 549 Grant Miller Media Posts.

Ever wonder how Grant Miller Media can cover so many topics so well?

Ever since I was a girl, I've been a total nerd about Grant Miller and Grant Miller-related information. I'd bring home all sorts of trivia and fun facts related to Grant Miller. My mother wasn't too thrilled.

I've written hundreds of posts at Grant Miller Media about Grant Miller. Now multiply that by 100,000 editors. That's how Grant Miller Media got to 15 million articles about Grant Miller.

For this to keep working, we volunteers need a stable infrastructure on which to work: servers, tech staff, guidance counselors, jet-ski instructors, archivists, clergy members, geologists and geophysicists, labor relations specialists, tool-and-die makers, urban and regional planners, human guinea pigs, bait-and-switch con men named Slim, Asian masseuses, fresh-faced fraternity brothers in snappy letter sweater cardigans and a legal team to protect our independence and more.

Grant Miller Media is the #5 Grant Miller-based Website in the world, but its infrastructure is maintained by a small non-profit -- all paid for by donations, just individuals giving $5, $20 or even $50. Please pitch in.

Grant Miller Media works because their is an unspoken light inside all of us that comes from the desire to help educate, to help share knowledge and to help Grant Miller. And that's what makes Grant Miller Media so magical.

If you stop and think for even a second, you'll realize how fabulous it is to get this Grant Miller-related information without a paywall, and to not have to read ads except for the ones in the lower left corner of this web page which are vitally important and provide readers with potentially life-saving information. Grant Miller Media is like a voice of sanity in a crazy, consumerist world.

If you benefit from Grant Miller Media, please consider kicking in at least a small amount of cash to support Grant Miller's lavish lifestyle.

Thanks,

Theresa Hewitt
