They’re under federal indictment collaborating with locals in Mexico to cross our border to attack us here,” Cotton said. Free Beacon ​

Study: Congress can halt amnesty with budget . . . Congress could use its power of the purse to halt President Obama’s executive action on immigration despite the president’s use of a fee-based agency to do most of the key work, the Capitol’s legal research team has concluded. Washington Times

Democrats could take Senate in 2016; or not . . . Of the 34 seats currently up in 2016, Republicans will be defending even more, 24, including seven in states Barack Obama carried in 2012. However, Republicans don’t face the peril in 2016 that Democrats faced in 2014. Washington Examiner

Former Hillary pollster unsure about her prospects . . . Doug Schoen, former pollster for Bill and Hillary Clinton, isn't certain Hillary Clinton could win the presidency in 2016.

That is, a courtroom lynch mob. Assuming an actual lynch mob doesn't get him first.

Giuliani: Blacks must reduce crime rate . . . "There is more interaction and more unfair interaction among police officers, white and black, in the black community than in the white community. And I think some of that responsibility is on the police department and on police departments to train their officers better and to make their police departments much more diversified," Giuliani said Sunday. "But I think just as much, if not more, responsibility is on the black community to reduce the reason why the police officers are assigned in such large numbers to the black community." Newsmax

Fear the Oath Keepers are needed now more than ever — especially in Ferguson, Mo. Washington Post
