nature abhors an unused loop-hole: Wright State U
"'Nature abhors a vacuum.', the physicists say, so no one should be surprised by the news that Wright State University [in Fairborn, a suburb ENE of Dayton, OH] seems to have gotten into the rent-an-engineer business that firms like Tata Consultancy Services, Infosys and so on dominate.   Ironically, academia actually has advantages over the Indian firms, in that (a) there is no H-1B cap for university workers, and (b) prevailing wage is calculated by the academic labor market, i.e. the subsistence-level salaries of graduate assistants, post-docs, [other personnel services (OPS), adjuncts] and assistant professors.   Nature abhors an un-used loop-ole, apparently, and Wright State seems to have responded.   But this 'vacuum' may have been [certainly has been] filled years ago, as I've suspected for quite a while that this is actually a common path.   Intel has a research center (a 'lablet', they call it) at Carnegie Mellon University [in Pittsburgh], and at several other universities as well.   And i was startled a couple of years ago to find that MSFT has its own post-doc positions.   Now that the Wright State situation has been exposed, hopefully journalists will check whether abuse is occurring in these other 'collaborations'..."

cousin Lizzy ii, the survivor
"On Wednesday the Queen became the longest reigning monarch in the history of her various realms, pipping her great-great-grand-mother Victoria.   To mark the occasion, the Royal Air Force droned two British subjects, Reyaad Khan and Ruhul Amin, in Syria for plotting to assassinate Her Majesty at the VJ Day ceremony.   Monarchy is the natural order of things -- which is why, as Ben Franklin grasped, the tricky bit about a republic is keeping it.   Franklin didn't live to see how that panned out.   He died in 1790, a year after the first inauguration, back when John Adams was proposing that George Washington be addressed as 'Your Most Benign Highness'.   Instead, America gave a word to the world -- the now-standard designation for a non-monarchical head of state: 'president'..."

"white guilt" is not helping "black" USA
"I'm glad I live in a time of automobiles, air conditioning, indoor plumbing, the Internet and great medical advances.   But if I had to live in an earlier period, I'd want to be a soldier in the Union Army.   I can think of no greater cause than to fight to eradicate America's original sin.   Slavery isn't America's original sin because it was unique, or uniquely horrible here.   If prostitution is 'the world's oldest profession', slave trading is second.   Since the dawn of recorded history, slavery has been practiced in nearly every society known to man.   The words 'slavery' and 'benign' ought never to appear in the same sentence, but slaves in the American South and the British Caribbean (usually) were treated less harshly than in most other places where slavery has been practiced -- especially in ancient times.   Our word 'slave' is derived from 'Slav', the peoples most frequently enslaved during Roman times [though they also enslaved Germans and Picts/Scots and Britons].   Throughout history, only a relatively few slaves have been black.   And for every African brought to North America on (mostly British) slave ships, dozens and possibly hundreds more were taken east by Arab slave traders.   What made slavery America's original sin was its violent conflict with our founding principles.   If 'all men are created equal, and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights', what gives some men the 'right' to 'own' others?..."

Hitler would be proud
"Invoking Hitler usually is done by an over-the-top left-wing politician about something a Republican did which has nothing to do with the actual situation.   Using the name of Hitler for a Jew in any other context than historical debates or reminiscing about Mel Brooks' The Producers should always be done with great caution.   But the stifling of free speech permeating our society warrants this deviation from my long-standing policy.   To me there remains nothing as sacrosanct as protecting rights under the First Amendment to the Constitution.   As I often repeat, there is a reason it is the First Amendment.   My first stand against suppression of free speech was in college in 1976..."

how expatriates are forging an Obummer legacy
"The State Department recently announced that a record number of Americans in 2014 gave up their citizenship and decided to live elsewhere.   Last year's figure of 3,415 was a 14% increase over the previous record, 2,999, in 2013.   By contrast, only 742 renounced their citizenship in 2009, a handful figure in line with previous history.   Although [president Barack Hussein Obummer] has a little more than a year to serve in office, his uncompromising policies and extralegal tactics may indelibly affect the United States for many years to come, moving one in three Americans, according to recent polls, to consider an exit strategy...   In the old days, the safety-value for discontent and disillusionment was for Americans to move from one state to another rather than take to the streets to protest or leave the nation.   Indeed, states competed for people as the nation rounded out its continental borders, often with economic and democratic incentives.   Illinois offered more of these incentives than Indiana as it emerged first as a territory before petitioning for statehood; to the west Iowa outdid Illinois; and by the time the last territory, Arizona, requested statehood in 1912 its constitution was so democratic -- providing for recall of judges, for instance -- that president William Howard Taft stopped the process, until changes were made.   Once Arizona became a state, however, it went back to its divergent ways.   Because [Obummer's] legacy has been to regulate areas traditionally within the purview of states -- from health insurance to voter identification requirements to even school lunch menus -- the ability of Americans to move to different states has been sorely strained.   Today, only about 1 of every 10 Americans picks up stakes each year, half the usual movement and lowest percentage since statistics have been compiled in the post-World War 2 period.   Lack of jobs for young people, in particular, has kept them close to the parental home [, high fuel and vehicle prices], and [ObummerDoesn'tCare] has tightened the economic umbilical cord even tighter, what with the requirement that offspring under the age of 26 are really still children and can qualify for health insurance under their parents' policies..."

2001/09/11: for many "never forget" has morphed into "never mind"
"...Since that fateful day, our freedoms, our very way of life has been under attack.   Freedom of speech, our First Amendment, is under severe assault, as devout Muslims and their leftist lapdogs smear all those who dare to speak honestly about this threat, and work to force non-Muslims to accept Shariah blasphemy laws restricting all criticism of Islam.   The enemedia have gone along readily, demonizing and marginalizing all those who note the ideology motivating the war against America.   The 2001/09/11 Muslim terrorists extolled Allah no less than 90 times in their last letters.   Bush declared Islam the religion of peace when it was his duty to explain what we were really up against.   He declared, 'Islam is a religion of peace' when he should have spoken honestly about what motivated the jihad.   The war was clumsily named the 'war on terror' and thus became the war of avoidance of the truth.   [Barack Hussein Obummer] has been even worse, directly attacking the freedom of speech..."

could Iran destroy our ships in the Persian Gulf?
"Many laugh at the crude videos Iran has produced using wooden target ships and comical artistry.   However, these types of naval tactics have been very effective in the past.   In the 1982 Falklands War, the British Royal Navy destroyer HMS Sheffield was sunk by an Argentine, French-made Exocet missile.   The threat hit much closer to home in 1987 when the same subsonic sea-skimming Exocet missile, fired from an Iraqi warplane, struck the U.S. Navy frigate USS Stark and crippled the vessel.   It is a certain fact that the U.S. Navy has the ability to defend itself from these types of threats.   However, the anti-ship missiles of today are of much greater speed and lethality.   New Russian technology has produced weapons flying at 3 times the speed of sound with much larger warheads, and Russia is about to sell Iran a whole lot of sophisticated weapons..."

"...At this point, the country is fed up with promises -- to repeal [ObummerDoesn'tCare], to restrict the torrent of illegal [and legal] immigrants, to stop ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/IS/caliphate, to repair the economy and on and on.   Meanwhile, the 'fundamental transformation of America' is proceeding at a break-neck pace, and a lot [more] irreversible change (or destruction) can occur before 2017.   Take [Obummer's treaty to help Iran develop nuclear weapons and delivery systems].   As with [ObummerDoesn'tCare], Americans don't know what is in it.   By 2017, Iran could get a nuclear warhead and the ability to detonate it 20 miles above Middle America.   The electromagnetic pulse could destroy our electronics and power grid, plunging [the USA] into darkness and silence -- and chaos, famine and pestilence...   Before 2017, Planned Parenthood will probably abort more than half-a-million American babies, while collecting nearly a billion [tax-victim] dollars, plus profits from organ trafficking.   And how many more live-born infants will perish in its back rooms, or be vivisected to harvest 'tissue' for research?   How many more young women will be molested because Planned Parenthood ignores laws requiring the reporting of sexual abuse and statutory rape?   Rand Paul went to Washington, DC, to support Students for Life of America.   Ben Carson has a petition to congress to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood.   Ted Cruz might be willing to push the issue to the point that [Obummer] must choose between funding Planned Parenthood or the rest of the government.   Where are the others in terms of action, not just words?..."

things happening in USA are frightening
"A significant percentage of the problems in America today exists primarily from the usurpation of power at the national level because of the abdication of personal responsibility at the local level.   We are experiencing -- because we have allowed it -- massive changes within our society and the societal mores on which the American republic rests.   We must learn what this means for us and that traditional values should still be taught in an unfriendly and anti-morality society.   A free society without moral underpinnings cannot continue to survive, but will, in fact, as with any structure that lacks foundational support, implode.   Ask ancient Rome.   Something frightening is happening in America today.   More and more of the traditional foundations are being destroyed.   People without moorings (a stable traditional family, a sense of personal self-worth and concrete moral values) are being swept away by a 'new wave'..."

it's the head of the Jewish year: biblical significance of the blowing of the rams' horns
"It is indeed the beginning of the new year.   In fact, by tradition, it represents the sixth day of Creation, when Adam breathed his first breath.   So it's the first day of humankind.   Spiritually, it represents renewal, a day of hope, transformation, change in a positive sense.   And, since it's the Feast of Trumpets, there's the ram's horn, the shofar, the Hebrew word for trumpet.   The blowing of the shofar signifies the beginning of the 10 days of repentance leading up to Yom Kippur or Day of Atonement, the holiest date on the Hebrew calendar -- also the day Moses may have received the Ten Commandments.   But as I mentioned a few days ago, in my commentary on the upcoming Feast of Tabernacles or Sukkot, these 'feasts' or appointed times are not just holidays for Jews.   They are God's appointed holy days for all his people.."

the slowly unraveling H-1B scandal at Wright State U near Dayton, Ohio
"The provost at Wright State University, near Dayton, Ohio, has lost his job as a result of an internal investigation into the institution's use of the H-1B program; a second official has been demoted and may lose his tenured teaching status; and a third has been fired.   It sounds very much like the university found out about the problems before DHS did, but that's a widespread pattern.   An AP story indicates that a federal investigation is ongoing, but did not name the agency doing it.   Wright State is a middle-sized (17K students, $310M a year) state-run institution with some research facilities.   It is now an independent entity, but it used to be a campus of Ohio State and Miami University.   It is near [just SSE of] the big Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and is a few miles from the congressional district of speaker Boehner...   The university's president, David Hopkins, said in a not-very-forthcoming statement that: '[T]his past Spring we were presented with credible evidence that somewhere between 2 and 5 years ago not every H-1B employee sponsored by the university was actually working for the university.'   According to MyVisaJobs.com, Wright State filed 121 labor condition applications for H-1Bs in the years 2011-2015.   Employers generally file 2 or 4 LCAs for every alien actually hired [or vice versa, 1 or 2 LCAs for every 3 to 20 aliens actually hired].   Wright State officials, like similarly placed executives at other universities, have the potential to access a major flow of illicit money by manipulating foreign worker programs, but this either rarely happens or it is rarely reported in the non-profit education sector.   These illicit opportunities are there because universities have open access to the H-1B program and can secure as many workers as they want, while corporations have to live within the (too generous) national ceiling of 85K new H-1Bs a year...   I have been paying attention to such issues for years, but have heard of only one instance in which a 'university' was using its status to bring large numbers of H-1Bs into the country who did not, in fact, work for the institution or affiliated entities.   In that instance, the entity said it would employ the H-1Bs as nursing professors, but they actually worked as nurses in hospitals and nursing homes and had to pay substantial bribes to those who arranged their visas.   (The exploitation of F-1 students, and the government, by for-profit visa mills is another story.)   I used quotation marks above because the schemers in Colorado invented an educational institution out of whole cloth -- Adam University -- for their devious purposes and fooled the feds for years.   Just what happened at Wright State, I do not know.   It may be that the three officials simply used the H-1B system to bring in friends or relatives and no money changed hands.   (2 of the 3 have sub-continent [=South Asian=Indian] names.)   Or it could be a substantial operation along the lines of Adam University, or something in between.   The former provost, Sundram Narayanan, who is currently the subject of an effort by the university to remove him from his tenured professorship, took a huge risk in this venture; he was paid at the rate of $352,642 a year in 2013 according to university records.   Local reporters, not surprisingly, were unaware of the university's powers in the H-1B program and described it along predictable lines: 'The main point of the H-1B visa is to allow highly trained foreign employees the opportunity to work for a specific company in the United States for a few years.', [mistakenly] reported WDTN."

USA dropped to #16 in economic freedom index
report released Monday by the Fraser Institute and the Economic Freedom Network (pdf)
"As recently as 2000, the United States was [rated as being] the second-freest economy in the world...   According to the report, 'countries in the top quartile of economic freedom had an average per-capita GDP of US$38,601 in 2013, compared to US$6,986 for bottom quartile nations'...   The poorest 10% in economically free countries have average income of $9,881.   The poorest 10% in economically repressive countries have average income of just $1,629...   The U.S.A., however, is moving in the wrong direction, largely due to erosion in the rule of law and overly burdensome regulation.   'A weakened rule of law, the so-called wars on terrorism and drugs, and a confused regulatory environment have helped erode economic freedom in the United States, which has now fallen behind more economically free countries such as Qatar, Jordan and the UAE.', McMahon said...   looks at 5 components of economic freedom:   1.   size of government.   2.   security of property rights.   3.   access to sound money.   4.   freedom to trade internationally.   5.   regulation of credit, labor, and business.   The top-10 most economically free jurisdictions are Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates, Mauritius, Jordan, Ireland and Canada, with the United Kingdom and Chile tied for tenth."

"drafted by 26-year-old M.

Wright State U played much the same H-1B role as an India-based bodyshop
"...Plenty of middleman organizations have made scores if not hundreds of millions out of the H-1B program, but this is the first time I have seen a university play that game.   WSU is a state-run, non-profit institution.   Four of the key players in the drama, incidentally, have subcontinent names.   A quick sketch of the H-1B scene in Dayton shows:   The university, not exactly in the top tier of U.S. educational institutions, reacting to the H-1B situation by firing/demoting/forcibly retiring four key officials, each of whom had six-figure salaries;   A trustee of the university whose own for-profit organization was using the university to obtain the services of at least one tech worker at below-market rates;   A middleman organization named Web Yoga was making many of the university's H1-B decisions since the H-1Bs really worked for it rather than for the university; and   A slew of jobs that could have been filled by the university's own graduates went to under-paid H-1B workers.   Indian out-sourcing firms ([cross-border bodyshops and off-shoring firms]) have these characteristics: They are largely Indian-managed and owned; they use the H-1B program to obtain skilled workers, usually from India, at below-market costs; and they turn around and rent those workers, at a profit of course, to other entities to do IT work.   Two of the four WSU (now punished) executives have Indian names, and presumably made money for the university by obtaining H-1B visas for workers and then renting out those workers to other outfits..."

is USCIS ignoring a $100M-per-year-plus crony socialist cash cow?
"One of the federal programs that comes up for renewal -- or death -- at the end of this month levies an extra $2K per H-1B visa charge on companies that use large numbers of H-1B workers.   The government carefully does not publish data on this matter, but my best guess is that it is worth rather more than $100M annually to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which collects fees for approved H-1B petitions.   If you were an executive of an enterprise with a yearly budget of $3.3G (as does USCIS for FY2015) and the company was facing a contract deadline within a month that would eliminate $100M in income, wouldn't you do everything in your power to get that contract extended? You bet you would.   The agency may be quietly seeking for such an extension, but my sources on the Hill indicate that there is no visible activity toward this end, either by the administration or congressional initiatives.   No member of congress, for example, has introduced such a bill, according to Interpreter Releases, the immigration bar's trade paper.   The extension of these fees, however, could be attached as a rider to some other legislation, such as an appropriations bill or a continuing resolution for the general funding of the government.   The extra fees program (which also extends to some L-1 employers) was set in motion in 2010 by congress as [an empty] gesture to the restrictionists -- why not charge the Indian body shops such as Tata and Infosys more for the visas and send the money off to DHS for drones and border patrol agents?   The fees (in fact) would do nothing to discourage the use of the H-1B program, and would not touch the MSFTs and Googles of the world, while the concepts of the drones would indicate a desire for 21st Century enforcement techniques, as I reported at the time...   The duration of the program was for 3 years; then it was extended for 2 more in 2013.   Did those fees go through USCIS and then on to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (US ICE) for the drones and the agents?   Or did they stay with USCIS to help fund [Obummer's unconstitutional and illegal amnesties]?...   The fine print in that document shows that the extra H-1B and L-1 fees are not charged for H-1B-type workers from Chile and Singapore because of trade agreements with those countries.   Fortunately we do not see many such workers, as Singapore is more prosperous than the United States and Chile produces relatively few high-tech workers.   But the no-extra-fee-for-these-workers factoid is just another small reminder that we should not let our immigration policies be ruled by trade treaties."

DoS, DHS records suggest USA has been admitting 280K Muslims per year
Julia Hahn: Breitbart
"In 2013 alone, 117,423 migrants from Muslim-majority countries were permanently resettled within the United States -- having been given lawful permanent resident status.   Additionally in 2013, the United States voluntarily admitted an extra 122,921 temporary migrants from Muslim countries as foreign students and foreign workers as well as 39,932 refugees and asylees from Muslim countries.   Thus, 12 years after the 2001 September 11th hijackers were invited into the country on temporary visas, the U.S. decided to admit 280,276 'migrants' from Muslim countries within a single fiscal year.   To put these numbers into perspective, this means that every year the U.S.A. admits a number of Muslim 'migrants' [more numerous] than the entire population of Des Moines, Iowa; Lincoln, Nebraska; or Dayton, Ohio.   The rate of Muslim immigration has been increasing since 2001 September 11.   Between 2001 and 2013, the United States permanently resettled 1.5M Muslim immigrants throughout the USA.   Unlike [illegal aliens], legal immigrants granted life-time resettlement privileges will be given automatic work permits, welfare access, and the ability to become voting citizens...   Student visas for Middle Eastern countries have similarly grown enormously, including 16-fold increase in Saudi students since 2001/09/11.   Arabic is now the most common language spoken by refugees, and 91.4% of recent refugees from the Middle East are on food stamps..."

"refugee" crisis only enhances ensuing perfect storm
"The influx of refugees from the perpetually war-torn Middle East currently flooding Europe presents a problem of immense measures right now, but the current problems it presents pales in comparison to the problems it will present in the future.   Germany, for instance, is accepting eight hundred thousand in a nation of 80.62M, and the refugees will represent almost one percent of the German population in a nation that already has a prominent Muslim constituency.   This flow of refugees is just the beginning of what is bound to come, as the word gets back to Syria and the ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/IS/caliphate controlled countries that there is acceptance in the West, that there's food, shelter and safety available.   The flow will turn into a raging river of humanity trying to escape the heartless tyrants and fanatic Muslim murderers that now control so much of the Middle East.   And who can blame them? Who can fault a mother or father seeking asylum for their children? I certainly can't, but still.   All that doesn't negate the dangers and the future shock this mass invasion represents...   And how many jokers has ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/IS/caliphate slipped into the deck?   How many covert fanatics have inserted themselves into the mix, sleeper cells of suicide bombers and rabid jihadists who will bide their time and bring forth chaos when the order to activate is given..."

"_Wealth, Poverty and Politics_ does not accept inequality of opportunity.   Instead, it reports such things as children raised in low-income families usually not being spoken to nearly as often as children raised in high-income families.   The conclusion: 'It is painful to contemplate what that means cumulatively over the years, as poor children are handicapped from their earliest childhood.'   Even if all the doors of opportunity are wide open, children raised with great amounts of parental care and attention are far more likely to be able to walk through those doors than children who have received much less attention.   Why else do conscientious parents invest so much time and effort in raising their children?   This is so obvious that you would have to be an intellectual to able to misconstrue it.   Yet many among the intelligentsia equate differences in outcomes with differences in opportunity.   A personal example may help clarify the difference..."

"refugees"
The problem is that these are not all genuine and deserving refugees.   Many of these people should be in the Syrian army or the rebels' armies.   Some are agents of ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/IS/caliphate, just as many of the 'refugees' into West Germany at the end of WW2 were agents of the Soviets.   This batch are demanding passage to whichever country has the cushiest illfare programs, or to whichever one they want to fundamentally transform into yet another arm of the worldwide caliphate.   So, how many can the USA government properly run background investigations on? Well, even if the Obummer regime had the will to run background investigations on refuge and other visa applicants, these people don't have much in the way of trails.   We can't interview their family members, their neighbors, their landlords, their employers, their co-workers, the local police, teachers, professors, class-mates.   As a matter of fact, the Nazis did make use of a form of computer for tracking down targets, and for planning out their occupation of new territories.   Sure, it was more primitive than even today's idiot-phones, using the sorting of punched cards and lacking "location services", but IBM (from Thomas Watson on down) was right there helping them.

a decade ago, Dem and Rep voters were united in opposing illegal immigration
"Little more than a decade ago, voters in both parties generally agreed that unchecked immigration was a significant threat to U.S.A. vital interests -- with Democrats actually topping Republicans in that belief, 63% to 58%.   Now, however, the parties diverge wildly, with 63% of Republicans saying immigration is a threat, while just 29% of Democrats rate it so.   Independents are spot in the middle, with 46% seeing immigration as a threat..."

The project, called Let's Encrypt, is run by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG) and backed by Mozilla, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Cisco, and Akamai, among others..."
The problem with certificates is the "trust hierarchy" non-sense.   I only partially trust EFF and CPSR, certainly do NOT trust VerySlime, nor the designers at MSFT nor Apple nor Oracle nor SAP, TWR nor the Obummer regime nor UN.   There are others I trust more, but there are probably a lot of the people they would trust I would not trust.   Still, the main thing that has always inhibited adoption of end-to-end encryption is the clumsiness of setting it up and using it on a day-to-day basis.

abc touts "made in America" by Americans -- but its owner, Disney, not so much
"Monday's 'ABC Evening News' with David Muir included a feature the program airs with some regularity called 'Made in America'.   The theme of this portion of the broadcast is American workers and products; this time it featured WD-40, which has been produced in San Diego since the 1950s.   Watching the piece, my thoughts went into a stream of consciousness state as I reflected on what I was seeing.   ABC is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Walt Disney Company, responsible for managing and overseeing all aspects of television for the company, including specifically ABC News.   Readers will recall that, not long ago, Disney was embroiled in controversy (which disappointingly subsided all too quickly) for firing a host of its American tech workers in favor of recently imported H-1B nonimmigrant workers and then added salt to their wounds by requiring them to train their replacements before leaving.   In fact, news media reported at the time of the Disney kerfuffle that the same kind of terminations and replacements were in the offing at ABC, but were then cancelled without either fanfare or explanation.   It makes one wonder: Was one of the reasons they changed their minds because ABC Evening News routinely airs the 'Made in America' segment showcasing the increasingly rare items still made by American workers here in this country?   Imagine the hoots of derision from the likes of Stephen Colbert and other late-night television hosts, and the biting op-ed articles that would have attended replacing American workers at ABC while trying to tout American-made goods and employees on their national evening news program.   As for me, I think the derision is still merited.   Hypocrisy, thy name is Disney."

debate prep on immigration
"Participants in the 2 Republican debates later today are certain to be asked about their views on illegal immigration and the Middle Eastern refugee crisis.   The answers are not difficult, and yet one candidate after another flubs them.   Here's a template for answering the first question, with the second to follow.   Actually fixing immigration will be hard work, but explaining it isn't -- or shouldn't be.   And yet, from Trump's saying whatever pops into his head, to Carson's frivolous assurance that he would seal the border within a single year, to [Yebbie Booosh's] detailed plan to enforce the rules after amnestying all the illegals, and to the clichéd boasts by the rest that they will 'secure the border', the candidates' responses to illegal immigration queries do not speak well to their political skills.   At the risk of sounding like a middle-school English teacher, they need to introduce the problem, offer 3 concrete solutions that are understandable, hold together, and make sense both politically and as policy, and then conclude by showing how they point to the future:   'Well, Hugh, I'm glad you asked that question.   Until we have in place an enforcement system that will prevent the settlement of another 12M illegal aliens, we're not even going to talk about what to do with the ones already here.   We're not going to amnesty them and we're not going to launch a dragnet to find them.   If they're arrested for something else, I'll make sure we have resources in place to deport them, but in the meantime my administration would focus on the three things we need to have in place before we even talk about the illegals already here.   First, we need nationwide E-Verify, so when a company hires somebody, and is filling out the paperwork for Social Security and the IRS, they also check, using this free online system, whether the new employee is telling the truth about who they are.   The system's already in place, it's used millions of times every year, including by the great folks at (insert name of company in your state), and unlike the [ObummerDoesn'tCare] web-site, it actually works.   But it's optional now and needs to be rolled out nationwide, so that all our businesses and workers are playing on an even playing field.   Second, we need a check-out system for foreign visitors.   One thousand new illegal aliens will settle in our country today, and most of them will have come in legally on some kind of visa, but just stayed when their time was up.   Better fencing at the border won't fix that.   Right now, we're pretty good at checking people into our country, but after that, it's the honor system.   Heck, we don't even send a text message thanking them for visiting our country and reminding them to make sure they head home on time.   Finally, we need to undo the damage [president Barack Hussein Obummer] has done to law enforcement.   For state and local police (insert reference to your state here), the ability to partner with immigration authorities is vital to public safety.   And yet this president has dismantled the arrangements between local cops and immigration agents, winked at sanctuary cities, and even punished towns and states that have tried to do the right thing.   Once those 3 goals are met -- not on paper in Washington DC, but in fact, in the real world -- then we'll take another look at the illegal immigrants already here.   And there's likely to be a lot fewer of them, simply owing to attrition.   In fact, of the illegals here today, fully two and a half million have moved here since [president Barack Hussein Obummer] was inaugurated.   If he had just done his job, this whole problem would be much smaller and less wrenching.   In a (fill in name) administration, we will finally work our way out of this mess.'   It's a little long for a debate response when there are 11 people on the stage, but even in abbreviated form it's concrete, coherent, and concise."

"The new job slashing is in addition to the 54K job lay-offs already taken by HP and are expected to mostly hit workers in North America, according to Bloomberg...   Despite the huge employment shrink, according to the myvisajobs.com web-site: 'Hewlett-Packard filed 2,668 labor condition applications for H1-B visa and 815 labor certifications for green card from fiscal year 2011 to 2014.   Hewlett-Packard Company was ranked 30 among all visa sponsors.'   Breitbart News reported the February in 'Obama Administration Just Gave Away a Million more Green Cards', that the Administration was expanding the 650K H1-B visa holders living in the US to offer 'green card' U.S. [legal permanent residence] work permits to about 600K H1-B spouses and 400K children between the ages of 14 to 20...   Fiorina highlighted that there are currently at least 16 different visa programs.   She acknowledged that there are some positions that can only be filed by foreign specialists, but she blames America's education system as the real culprit for any lack of technical skills in America [despite evidence that only between one-third and one-half of US citizens with bachelor's degrees in STEM fields have been getting STEM jobs over the last 15-20 years, and wide-spread unemployent and under-employment of older, more experienced US STEM professionals, firms expend much less effort on recruiting than before H-1B, invest much less in new-hire and retained-employee training, invest much less in employee relocation...]."

USA has admitted 24 times as many "migrants" as pope's home country of Argentina
"...The United States has a higher foreign-born population percentage than any of the world's largest countries.   Although the United States houses only 5% of the world's population, the United States takes in 20% of all the 'migrants' worldwide.   No other country even approaches that number.   In fact, no country in the world takes in even 5% of the global migratory flows.   For instance, the pope's home country of Argentina -- which boasts a population of 41.5M -- houses less than 1% of global migrants.   The United States has taken 2,328% -- or 24 times -- [as many as] Argentina has.   In the United States, 1 out of every 7 residents is foreign born; in Argentina only 1 out of every 22 residents is foreign born...   Mexico, for example, only 0.9% of its population is foreign born -- or 1 out of every 110 residents...   In Brazil, only 0.3% of its population is foreign born -- or 1 out of every 334 residents...   real average hourly wages are lower today than they were in 1973;   all net job creation among working-age people went to foreign workers from 2000-2014;   the number of struggling Americans forced to rely on welfare has reached a record high;   over-crowded schools, which are now majority-minority, have struggled to accommodate the growing number of students that qualify for reduced lunch programs and require English language instruction;   an influx of a diverse student body has sent U.S.A. test scores plummeting;   and the importation of third world criminal organizations has negatively impacted the safety of, what are now, gang-beseiged communities.   Importing more migrants into the country than can be absorbed violates the principle outlined by president Calvin Coolidge, who greatly reduced immigration rates the last time the foreign-born share of the population reached a record high.   'We want to keep wages and living conditions good for everyone who is now here or who may come here.', Coolidge famously said.   'As a Nation, our first duty must be to those who are already our inhabitants, whether native or immigrants. To them we owe an especial and a weighty obligation.'   A plurality of Americans want a pause on all new immigration..."

state politicians and bureaubums violate rights & attack "non-governmental democracy"
"There are plenty of politicians and bureaucrats (Lois Lerner, for example) at the federal government level who want to silence constitutional conservative activists and their organizations through unlawful assaults on the right of Americans to associate for causes in which they believe.   There are also politicians and bureaucrats at the state level doing the same.   One group of state officials, the National Association of State Charity Officials (NASCO), wields tremendous power over charities and activist organizations, such as the 58 organizations that recently submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court in a challenge against California Attorney General Kamala Harris, describing her violations of federal law and constitutional rights.   That brief also described extensive collaboration between NASCO and Lois Lerner even while she was targeting conservative groups with her unlawful deeds.   Government bullies know that they can wield more power over citizens by impeding and silencing our organizations through which we take action together.   As I recently wrote at CNSNews, 'It is clear that if each citizen, wrote [Alexis de] Tocqueville, as he becomes individually weaker and consequently more incapable in isolation of preserving his freedom, does not learn the art of uniting with those like him to defend it, tyranny will necessarily grow with equality.'   Tocqueville was describing 'non-governmental democracy'.   NASCO will soon hold its annual meeting in Washington, DC, and the following letter was sent to its president asking if NASCO would take steps to protect the rule of law against lawless, bullying state officials..."

allowing non-citizens to be counted in redistricting violates the one-person, one-vote standard
"The Supreme Court is set to finally decide this issue in Evenwel v. Abbott -- something it has avoided for decades up until this year.   In Evenwel, two Texas voters claim that including non-citizens in the population used to draw their legislative districts violates the Equal Protection Clause.   These voters were placed by the state legislature in senate districts whose voting populations deviate anywhere from 31% to 49% from the ideal population of a Texas senate district.   They argue that this disparity significantly dilutes their votes in comparison to those of voters who live in districts with large numbers of non-voters, particularly districts with a large number of non-citizens, including illegal aliens who are not eligible to vote.   The basis for the one-person, one-vote standard is the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.   Under the supreme court's interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment in Reynolds, states must draw districts 'on a basis that will insure, as far as is practicable, that equal numbers of voters can vote for proportionally equal numbers of officials'.     This past summer, the Court accepted Evenwel for review.   The supreme court's 2015 term begins on October 5, although the date for oral arguments in Evenwel has not yet been set.   Sue Evenwel and Edward Pfenninger claim their votes are worth roughly half those of voters in other districts.   IOW, they argue that their districts were allotted the same number of senators as other districts that contained the same number of people but only half the number of eligible voters..."

"...It is also indisputable that [Obummer's] allegiance is not to this nation, but to an amalgam of Marxist and Islamist ideologies and interests, including big-money Muslim concerns here and overseas who contributed in no small way to his ascendancy.   [Barack Hussein Obummer] catalyzed the Arab Spring and established ISIL/ISIS/Daesh/IS/caliphate as surely as John F. Kennedy launched the [Peace Corpse].   It has become equally clear that many high-ranking Republicans have been complicit -- not weak and ineffectual, but complicit -- with regard to [Obummer's] crimes.   But the commentator and the media mogul I mentioned aren't talking about any of that.   It's one thing to discuss how [Obummer] hung out with radicals and had a black militant pastor, and how the GOP [losership] has been wholly inadequate in dealing with him.   But if one has a fan base of millions and he's not discussing [Obummer's] serial acts of treason, then what's the point?   If such persons can't grasp and articulate that [Obummer] wants a nuclear Iran in order to further destabilize the region -- destabilization being an effort to which he has been steadfastly dedicated -- then they're utterly useless..."

The problem is that the publishers, like dictators, prefer a one-way flow, to tell people what their opinions should be rather than engaging in logical argumentation.   I mention the dictators because of a study done decades ago that noted that in countries that are more free, they tend to have better facilities for free-going point-to-point/individual-to-individual communications, whereas in dictatorships, they lavish more effort and resources on one-way communications from the dictator or oligarchy to the rest of the citizenry and residents.

Carson, (8) Donald Trump, (9) Scott Walker, (10) Ted Cruz, Ken Blackwell, Ann Coulter, Mike Huckabee, Allen West, Tom Cotton, Rand Paul, Carly Fiorina, Alan Keyes, but at this stage the preference order is likely to change with the next corroborated bit of news that comes by.

"Visiting Rosengård, one of the most notorious 'no-go-zone' suburbs of Malmo, where automatic weapons are used to settle gang disputes and ethnic Swedes dare not to tread, the Police station seems a logical first port of call when trying to get the full story.   Newly built after the old station, an office in the estate's sports centre was found to be insufficiently bullet and bomb proof, the building is a colossal slate-grey fortress of sharp modern design.   With 12-foot high security fences and bullet-proof airlock style doors, the European Union funded station is a massive sign of intent for a force that is meant to keep order on the streets.   The obvious give-away that this is more an aspiration than a reality is the station is completely abandoned, save for the receptionist who apologises and explains: 'the boss is in Paris today'..."

"great" moments in socialism
"Socialism is an economic failure.   International socialism didn't work in the Soviet Union.   National socialism didn't work in Germany.   And democratic socialism, while avoiding the horrors of its communist and Nazi cousins, also has been a flop.   Socialism fails because it attempts to replace market-determined prices with various forms of central planning based on government-dictated prices.   Moreover, socialism channels self-interest in a destructive direction.   In a free market, people get income and improve their lot in life by satisfying and fulfilling the needs of other people.   In a socialist system, by contrast, people squabble over the re-slicing of a shrinking pie...   statism is very bad for ordinary people...   [socialist] government elites have very comfortable lives...   What a bunch of hypocrites.   They denounce successful people who presumably earn money honestly, yet they amass huge fortunes by pilfering their nation...   And what's been happening in Venezuela is no different, I'm sure, than what happened in the past in Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and other socialist regimes.   And I'm sure it's still happening today in other socialist hell holes such as North Korea and Cuba.   The elite enjoy undeserved and unearned wealth while ordinary people live wretched lives of deprivation..."

"...they all take a bow at Istanbul's 14th Art Biennial, 2015 Sept. 5 – Nov. 1.   Situated in a nation philosophically at war with civilization over their national holocaust denial, the Biennial commenced with trumpeting and international attention -- but little of that has gone to the art so far.   Opening to the news of yet more war and oppression in Turkey, the massive art exhibit made a surprisingly adroit turn to face the day's troubles.   New treachery and deceit from Turkey included sudden airstrikes against Kurdish militia instead of the coordinated assaults on ISIS they had promised to the U.S.A.   Curator Carolyn Christov-Bakargie, artist Pelin Tan and editor Anton Vidokle responded by calling Biennial artists to 'suspend their work for 15 minutes' in support of Turkey's Kurdish community.   Suspending work was symbolic, but few artists followed through, since it required them to shoot themselves in the foot by remaining silent at their own presentations.   Gestures of contempt are balefully common in the West, but now the Turks are their hosts, making things dicey for native artists.   Even using the forbidden term 'Armenian genocide' can land you in a cell (according to Article 301 of the Turkish penal code).   This is a live political grenade where bombs, slaves and absolute terror reign within hours of Istanbul and its sophisticated art shows..."

This morning, for president of the USA, I'm liking (1) Mark Levin, (2) Jeff Sessions, (3) Michelle Malkin, (4) Thomas Sowell, (5) Tom Tancredo, (6) Rick Santorum, (7) Ben S. Carson, (8) Donald Trump, (9) Scott Walker, (10) Ted Cruz, Ken Blackwell, Ann Coulter, Mike Huckabee, Allen West, Tom Cotton, Rand Paul, Carly Fiorina, Alan Keyes, but at this stage the preference order is likely to change with the next corroborated bit of news that comes by.

the rise, fall, and re-rise of Nathan Fletcher
"...According to numbers compiled by OpenSecrets.org, [Qualcomm] has thus far this year spent a total of $4.56M on lobbying, compared with the $5.61M it paid influence peddlers in 2014.   Qualcomm's all-time lobbying expense record, $7.09M, came in 2013, when the company -- run by then-CEO Paul Jacobs, son of co-founder Irwin Jacobs -- was seeking to change US immigration laws to boost the issuance of so-called H-1B visas, allowing more [cheap, young, pliant, low-skilled, guest-workers with flexible ethics] to work in this country.   As part of its 2013 push, Qualcomm set up a group [deceptively] calling itself 'San Diegans United for CommonSense Immigration Reform', headed by Nathan Fletcher...   Since 2004, Jacobs family members alone have anted up more than $872K for federal races, including those of [president Barack Hussein Obummer] and presidential hopeful [Hitlery Rotten Clinton], according to Federal Elections Commission data...   Mounting turmoil at the San Diego Union-Tribune in the wake of thus-far failed efforts by Los Angeles billionaire Eli Broed to grab control of the paper and its sisterm Los Angeles Times from Chicago-based Tribune Publishing...   As in the case of Qualcomm, lay-offs are said to be on the way for the troubled company and its West Coast branch."
How did that old saying go: "Millions for cheap, young, pliant, low-skilled guest-workers, not one cent to employ US citizens."?

Europe's (and the UN's) inhumane "humanitarianism"
"The very poorest seldom migrate, because they can't afford it or, as in Syria today, can't get away.   And the huge flow of immigration to America from the opening of Ellis Island in 1892 [AFTER the USA's frontiers were no more] to World War 1 -- triple, as a percentage of population, the 1982-2007 surge -- was not of the poor with economic motives.   Most Ellis Island-era immigrants came from the multiethnic Russian, Austro-Hungarian and German empires, where they were second-class citizens -- Jews, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Slovenes, Serbs, Croats -- in an age of surging nationalism.   America's tradition of civic equality beckoned.   Here, they believed, they would be equals with everyone else.   They came not to oppose American culture but to partake of it.   American elites from Theodore Roosevelt to Henry Ford endorsed this idea of common citizenship and pushed successfully for assimilation in schools and work-places..."

transferring alien in-mates from USA to foreign prisons under international treaties
"The Department of Justice Office of Inspector General (DoJ OIG) has issued an interesting follow-up report on a subject it first studied in 2011: transfer of federal prisoners who are foreign nationals to prisons in their home countries to serve the remainder of their sentences.   The OIG's first report found that less than 1% of the over 40K in-mates from treaty transfer nations in Federal Bureau of Prisons (BoP) custody in fiscal year 2010 were ultimately transferred back to their home countries.   The follow-up report, 'Status Review on the Department's International Prisoner Transfer Program', can be found on the OIG's web-site, along with a podcast and a brief 2-minute overview video by DoJ's inspector general.   The premise of the prisoner transfer program is that, by means of treaties with other governments, prisoners can be exchanged to serve their sentences in their home countries rather than in a foreign place.   It is an interesting niche where the controversial subject of immigration and criminals is concerned.   The fundamental requirements are simple: the prisoner must make a request; and the country of which he is a national must be a treaty partner.   The report contains some interesting tidbits.   For instance:   As of 2014, almost 43K in-mates in federal prisons were from signatory nations pledged to prisoner transfer treaties.   This is up from nearly 33K in 2005, a substantial increase of 31%.   The 43K in-mates represented 20% of the federal in-mate population in 2014.   (A cautionary note: It would be wrong to conclude that the overall percentage of aliens in federal Bureau of Prisons (BoP) custody is 20% because there are additional aliens serving time who are not from countries with which the United States has a treaty authorizing transfer of prisoners.)   '[I]n FY2013 foreign national in-mates from treaty nations constituted 82% of the total BoP contract prison inmate population.'   The DoJ OIG suggests that, although progress has been made in ensuring alien inmates are aware of and able to apply for transfer, not enough has been done by BOP or DoJ to bring those transfers to reality.   Although applications rose from 14K in 2010 to more than 24K in 2014, only about 227 prisoners are being transferred per year.   The OIG suggests that a working group of BoP, DoJ, and Department of State (DoS) officials should meet with foreign authorities of treaty nations to press the program forward..."

"A lobbying group create by [corrupt, privacy violating] FB, founder Mark Zuckerberg and others is pushing [against genuine immigration reform] on the agenda of the USA presidential campaign.   [Flooding the market with cheap, young, pliant labor with questionable ethics is crucial to tech executives maintaining holding down compensation in the USA and pumping up their extravagant compensation and bonus packages.]   The group is clamoring for the [federal] goverment to expand its [already vastly excessive] H-1B visa program [which has no skill level requirements, so the H-1B visa has nothing at all to do with being 'highly-skilled'].   The call came a day after the latest Republican debate and just weeks after Trump [and Jeff Sessions, and millions of others] criticized FB [and other firms] for lowering wages for Americans by hiring foreign workers.   Trump has proposed that all job openings be first offered to unemployed Aericans before foreigners can apply [a frequently and easily scammed gesture].   [Numbers of H-1B applicants have been increasing, but so have numbers of unemployed and under-employed US citizen STEM professionals.   The government gives out just over 1M green cards each year and in fiscal year 2013 gave out over 153,794 H-1B visas.   [Bar-graph made using Graphiq showing some of the most unethical, incompetent firms applied to sponsor the most H-1B visas in FY2014.   link to data at findthedata   Bar-graph showing STEM median salaries from 2009 through 2014 not keeping up with retail prices.]"

CAIR called FBI to investigate anti-anti-Semitic grafitti at mosque in KY
"CAIR -- which was founded by affiliates of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas -- concluded that the alleged petty crime must be dealt with by 'state and federal law enforcement authorities', who should 'investigate vandalism targeting a Kentucky mosque as a hate crime'.   Mosque employees discovered during the week that the Louisville Islamic Center had been vandalized with English and Hebrew messages along with drawings of the Jewish Star of David, CAIR officials said.   Messages read: 'Muslims- Leave the Jews Alone', 'Nazis Speak Arabic', and 'This is for France', likely in reference to the jihadi terrorist attack on a train destined for Paris last month..."

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.
