  In Kabbalah the fable of the Lamed Vav, the 36 just men, hints at the presence of a brotherhood, scattered round the globe, of wise beings who watch over the spiritual life of mankind.   At this level they may well be Hindus sitting in Himalayan caves, Muslims working silver in Damascus, Christians practising medicing in London or Jews teaching economics in Russia.   No one but they, we are told, knows who the 35 are, because to the world they appear quite naturally within their everyday context.   Tradition goes further & hints at a whole hierarchy of spiritually evolved people, with each level concerned with a different stage of mankind's progress.   Some of these individuals, may be well known to the public, others hidden, as is the one who is called in Islam 'the Axis of the Age'." --- Z'ev ben Chimon HaLevi 1979 _Kabbalah_ pp29-30

Norm Matloff _Upon Closer Inspection Norm Says No_
update on Thursday's senate Judiciary committee hearing mis-titled "Impact of High-Skilled Immigration on US Workers"
1.   The H-1B visa is a non-immigrant visa (which allows dual intent).
2.   The H-1B visa is not restricted to the "high-skilled", but is open to all those with any level of skill in STEM fields and fashion modelling, and the "high-skilled" H-1B grantee is the rare exception; the data show that the vast majority are mediocre lights doing mediocre work for which there is a plentiful supply of able and willing USA citizens.
3.   The H-1B visa program has always, from its conception several years before enactment encouraged displacement of USA citizen under-graduate students, graduate students, and STEM professionals -- both by blatant and direct displacement such as at Disney, Southern California Edison, NorthEast Utilities/Eversource Energy, etc., and by at least equally common but more hidden, indirect displacement.
4.   Regardless, the excess labor depresses ethical standards, depresses compensation, depresses recruiting effort levels and techniques, and encourages discrimination on the basis of total compensation, age, and nationality.
5.   When it comes to H-1B (and F+OPT and L-1 and E-3 and J) visa abuse:   Tata is bad.   Intel is bad.   Google is bad.   Convergys is bad.   Yahoo! is bad.   Remedy is bad.   FB is bad.   Wipro is bad.   Oracle is bad.   Infosys is bad.   MSFT is bad.   Convergent is bad.   Princeton is bad.   IBM is bad.   Felonious State U is bad.   HP is bad.   Yale is bad.   Boeing is bad.   GE is bad.

how Obummer & the left are trying to implement fraudulent elections by letting non-citizens (including illegal aliens) vote
Greg Richter: News Max
"Yesterday, in an obscure federal court-room the future of American constitutional liberty hung in the balance and it was saved -- at least temporarily -- by the integrity of District of Columbia federal district court judge Richard J. Leon, the extraordinary efforts of Kris Kobach, the Secretary of State of Kansas and attorney J. Christian Adams of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, and a thin line of conservative ballot integrity watchdogs, including attorney Hans A. von Spakovsky of the Heritage Foundation and Richard Manning of Americans for Limited Government.     The hearing before judge Leon was over the temporary restraining order (TRO) and preliminary injunction (PI) being sought by the League of Women Voters and a host of other leftist groups to stop the recent decision of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to allow Kansas, Georgia, Alabama, and Arizona to enforce their proof-of-citizenship voter-registration requirement.     The U.S. Election Assistance Commission, as an independent federal agency, was to be represented at the hearing by attorneys of the Obama Department of Justice -- except as Hans von Spakovsky and Rick Manning predicted last week -- the attorneys for the [Obummer] Department of Justice were preparing to take a dive and betray their clients to the left-wing plaintiffs in the case.     Rather than defend the legally appropriate decision of the Election Assistance Commission the [Obummer] DoJ lawyers filed a pleading in which they not only failed to defend the actions of the Election Assistance Commission, but agreed with the plaintiffs and consented to both a Temporary Restraining Order and a Preliminary Injunction -- in effect over-ruling the findings and actions of an independent executive agency.     Fortunately, in an act of integrity that shows once again how fundamental to the preservation of constitutional liberty the president's judicial appointment power is, judge Leon called the pleading 'unprecedented' and 'extraordinary'.     He said, as von Spakovsky reported in National Review, that he had never seen such a document in his entire experience as a lawyer or a judge.   He was obviously astonished that the Justice Department was not defending the agency, and it was soon clear he was not going to allow DoJ to just roll over.     According to von Spakovsky's account of the hearing, Judge Leon issued orders just before the hearing started granting the motions of both the State of Kansas and the Public Interest Legal Foundation to intervene in the case in order to defend the EAC's [Election Assistance Commission's] position.     So Kris Kobach, the Secretary of State of Kansas, was given time to argue against the TRO motion, as was Christian Adams of PILF.   The judge opened the hearing by reading into the record what attorney von Spakovsky called 'an astonishing letter' sent to judge Leon by the chair of the EAC, Christie McCormick.   It informed the court that DoJ had told the EAC that it would not defend the agency, and that it would not allow the EAC to hire its own counsel.     McCormick also informed the judge that she believed DoJ was not fulfilling its duty and obligation to defend the EAC and had a potential conflict of interest.     It was clear that judge Leon was shocked at what DoJ had done reported von Spakovsky.   He also said almost immediately that he would not grant a PI without a complete briefing and arguments on the case -- despite DoJ wanting to consent to the PI.     Fortunately, in act of integrity judge Leon made clear that there was 'no chance at all -- zero' that he would do what the plaintiffs and the Justice Department wanted him to do on that issue.     Hans von Spakovsky reported that judge Leon was obviously annoyed at the plaintiff's lawyer's inability to answer some of his questions, saying, 'I gave you the weekend to get ready for this -- what have you been doing?'     Judge Leon talked about all of the cases in which the Federal Programs Branch has been involved in his court-room, and said he had never seen the type of incomplete brief that DoJ had filed in this case.   He said that those briefs 'usually cover the waterfront' in terms of raising every legal argument to defend an agency.   Leon was very dismissive of the DoJ's position, its behavior, and its failure to mount a defense consistent with its usual practice.     According to von Spakovsky's reporting for National Review, the plaintiffs' lawyer was stumped by the judge on several occasions.   One example: judge Leon asked about the requirements for voting in the upcoming primaries in Georgia, Alabama, and Kansas.   The lawyer, who was there supposedly representing voters in those states, didn't know the basics about whether those elections were open primaries or caucuses or whether you have to register by party in those states in order to be able to vote.     Secretary of State Kobach did a much better job than the plaintiffs in explaining why the plaintiffs had not met the standards for the issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order says von Spakovsky.   Kobach pointed out the many errors and mistakes made by the plaintiffs' lawyer.   And he laid out the evidence of non-citizens registering and voting in Kansas -- which is why this proof-of-citizenship law is needed.     The battle to protect the integrity of the vote for the 2016 election is far from over; judge Leon ended the hearing by saying that he would announce his decision on the Temporary Restraining Order today (2016 February 23) according to von Spakovsky.     With regard to the Preliminary Injunction, von Spakovsky reports judge Leon set a hearing date for March 9, and left the record open for supplemental pleadings to be filed.   He also told the lawyers that they could file requests for limited discovery if they felt it was needed.     Hans von Spakovsky says the DoJ will probably try to avoid that because he's sure they don't want any discovery that could lead to more information being disclosed about their interference in the internal workings of what is supposed to be an independent, bi-partisan agency -- the Election Assistance Commission [EAC].     As Rick Manning said last week when word of this outrage began to filter out, and we agree wholeheartedly, 'Americans expect that only those eligible to exercise the right to vote will be participating in our 2016 national elections, yet the [Obummer regime's] lackeys at attorney-general Loretta Lynch's Justice Department are doing everything in their power to allow their new illegal alien power base to vote.'   This week constitutional liberty hangs in the balance in an obscure court-room in Washington, and the only things standing between the Left's plan to guarantee victory for the Democratic candidate for President by stealing the 2016 election with non-citizen votes are the integrity of District of Columbia federal district court judge Richard J. Leon, and the extraordinary efforts of Kris Kobach, the Secretary of State of Kansas and attorney J. Christian Adams of the Public Interest Legal Foundation.     We urge conservatives to support the Public Interest Legal Foundation and Secretary of State of Kansas Kris Kobach in this existential battle to preserve constitutional liberty."

Ted Cruz says he would make a conscientious effort to find, round up, and deport all 10M-20M illegal aliens in the USA
Fox: Ted Cruz on his stance regarding illegal immigration (video)
Fox: rush transcript
Todd J. Gillman: hostile Dallas TX Morning News: rush transcript
David Wright: hostile CNN: Ted Cruz expressed more principled and consistent approach
Ian Hanchett: Breitbart
"...Cruz began by stating [relevant remarks begin around 2:30] that the law should be enforced, and illegal immigrants in the USA should be deported.   When asked if he would 'go look for them' Cruz responded, 'Bill, of course you would.   That's what ICE exists for.   We have law enforcement that looks for people, who are violating the laws that apprehends them, and deports them.'..."

why illegal alien in case of DUI vehicular homicide had low bail
"Before he absconded, police had asked US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (USAICE) officials to detain Mejia.   USAICE officials, however, decided to deny the request for an immigration detainer, saying the suspect didn't meet their requirements [set by a Jeh Johnson memo] for a hold...   the suspect had a long history of brushes with the law, not to mention his immigration status that was never brought up in court.   It turns out there were many reasons for a hold.   Not only was Mejia an illegal alien, but he was a flight risk because he had a history of skipping out on other charges...   not only did the prosecution not ask for a higher bond despite what it knew, the judge didn't ask the prosecution what recommendations it might have.   Everyone just pushed the suspect's case through in a matter of minutes and moved on...   Worse, Douglass county, in which Omaha resides, is a so-called 'sanctuary' for illegal immigrants, and it appears judges aren't even allowed to ask these questions..."

Sili Valley eviction season hits 97-year-old woman: already high rents increased over 50% in the last 4 years
"...Marie Hatch, 97, has been living in modest wood-shingled cottage in the exclusive neighborhood of Burlingame since 1950, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.   But Marie and her 85-year old roommate Georgia Rothrock just received a notice that gives them until April 12 to move out of their $900-per-month rental or be evicted by deputy sheriffs.   Marie out-lived her landlord and friend, Vivian Kruse, who verbally promised her that she could live in the cottage until she died.   Marie also out-lived Vivian's daughter and grand-daughter, who were willing to honor the promise.   She even out-lived her own daughter...   a local household must earn $105,120 to afford the average rental unit in Silicon Valley.   With an income of approximately $23,040, the 2 seniors are about $82,080 a year short...   he intends to sell the cottage, which is appraised at $1.2M, for his 2 sons, who are the estate's beneficiaries."

As of 2011, the AAUP estimates, 70% of academic laborers were non-tenure-track faculty... the job system is actually working exactly the way administrators want it to -- making 'all employees other than themselves permanently temporary'..."

USA citizenry
"...The essence of spiritual capital is high achievement and reward based on self-reliance, hard work and faith in a transcendent being, which created [the USA] as an exceptional place, a New Jerusalem, a shining city on a hill.   It welcomes all people who come to [the USA] to share that dream -- not those who come to turn America, either wittingly or unwittingly, into the place from which they have just escaped.   It welcomes ethnic food.   (Thankfully we are no longer limited to the bland traditional British cuisine our Founding Fathers knew.)   This vision of spiritual capital embraces everything that enriches [the USA] -- rejecting the culture of poverty and pervasive cynical political corruption as a norm.   Unfortunately, under the guise of multi-culturalism we see the erosion of [USA] spiritual capital, the emptying of the melting pot and the substitution of belief in God for an intolerant secular humanism...   There is a total rejection on the part of elites of the idea that internalizing success norms is itself an act of free will and a serious commitment to postponing gratification.   This is consistent with the determination of the secular elite on the far left today to write God out of the picture completely...   The free market is a great theory, but it does not exist in practice, certainly not in the international sphere -- something that defenders of out-sourcing tend to forget.   It's easy to speak about the long-term benefits of a so-called free market when you are already a Washington [or Wall Street or Sili Valley] insider benefiting from the increasing income inequality in [the USA], in which [middle-America] chronically loses ground to cheaper foreign labor, whether accessed overseas through [non-free-trade] agreements [not constitutionally established] or imported as illegal immigrants...."

Hitlery Rotten Clinton and the media's protection program
"...not one word was uttered about Hillary's legal problems!   The panelists didn't mention it.   The candidates didn't mention it.   The audience didn't mention it.   Nobody said pea-turkey about it.   What hangs there as potentially the biggest political take-down since Watergate was a non-story.   Any journalist who's done time in dictatorships knows all the names, words and issues that are taboo.   The kind of things whose mere utterance causes otherwise perfectly innocent people to disappear in a manner that lets their neighbors know they dare not even ask what happened to them.   That's the way Hillary's legal problems were treated on an American political program...   They did that entire debate omitting the most important question of all.   Then I went to an attorney whose passion and patriotism for America are beyond challenge.   'Can you imagine', I asked him, 'PBS [National Socialist Television] doing that entire debate without mentioning that Hillary might get busted?'   'Well, you see', he explained, 'the media does its best to cover up for Hillary.'   No anger.   No rancor.   Not even mild disappointment.   He was just 'explaining' it to me.   Rather than invite him into my rage at being nationally and personally insulted by this protection of Hillary, I decided to stay calm.   'Tell me.', I asked him, 'If you and I were American tourists in Germany in 1938 November -- Kristallnacht -- when a hundred Jews were murdered and thousands of synagogues and Jewish businesses burned down, and I asked you what-in-hell was going on, would you have simply explained that Hitler hated Jews, and that was that?'   Yep.   That was his attitude.   There's a line in Jewish liturgy that gets us ready for this, but my non-Jewish friend apparently understood it better than I did.   The Talmud, our second-most holy text, asks, 'What do you expect of an ox, except beef?'   I am an American, and I expect one heaping whole lot more from fellow Americans when such an important deck is so blatantly stacked in favor of totalitarianism.   Why do I applaud inwardly when an American openly mentions the FBI, the CIA and the National Security Agency? Because it proves that dictators' disease hasn't progressed very far in America.   In Germany people never referred to the Gestapo.   In the Soviet Union they never mentioned the KGB, or in Hungary the AVO, or in East Germany the Stasi or in Romania the Securitate or in Albania the Sigurimi.   Our unselfconscious mention of those American agencies proves 'our flag is still there'.   But a 'debate' in which the biggest story is repressed is scary..."

Reich's error back in 1995 was confusing genuine aims and marketing. It was sold as being for the purpose of filling temporary odd, rare niche requirements, but NSF and other documents, and the exact language of the statutes, and executives' actions, clearly show that it was and continues to be for the purpose of flooding the market with cheap, young, pliant labor with flexible ethics.

why Donald Trump is winning on jobs & the USA economy
"Jobs and the economy are top of mind for voters from both parties this election cycle according to a recent Gallup poll.   This is hardly a surprise.   But what was a surprise to many is the importance of immigration and free trade as economic issues for working class voters and the level of betrayal they feel with respect to their government's handling of these issues.   These voters feel stuck between free trade policies that encourage companies to move good paying jobs outside the USA, [laws which have allowed several pathways for a flood of cheap, young, pliant labor with flexible ethics], and the failure to enforce our immigration laws allowing people here illegally to take jobs that remain.   While the economic wisdom of legal immigration and free trade policies is compelling, politicians would be well advised not to minimize these voters' concerns..."

"...Each senator, congressman or governor who lines up to support Rubio brings with him the kiss of death.   They announce his fidelity to an agenda and style of accommodation that is precisely what the Republican [patriots] can't stand.   With each endorsement, he becomes less the Marco of the Tea Party [dead and buried lo these several years] and, instead, the Marco of the unpopular establishment [RINO] politics of John Boehner and Mitch McConnell...   No matter how you slice and dice it, the Republican electorate is 2-to-1 against the party's [losership]...   The candidates are fungible.   It is the posture of animosity to the deal-making and craven refusal to stand up to [Barack Hussein Obobummer] that they oppose.   Rubio can never span that divide.   The winner of this race for the GOP nomination will be either Trump or Cruz -- and the [RINOs] better get used to it."

despite consumer food prices continuing to soar, dilemma for USA farmers is which crop will lose the least money?
"...While growers probably would lose $70 on every acre of corn or soybeans they sow -- the most since 1999 -- those crops offer the best chance at profit if yields are better than average, according to AgResource Company.   So, even with record global 'surpluses', USA farmers are preparing to plant more corn and soybeans in 2016 and devote less land to wheat...   While prices for all three crops are down more than 50 percent from peaks in 2012, improvements in seed technology to fight drought, bugs and disease have allowed farmers to collect at least 23% more corn and soybeans per acre since 2000, while wheat yields rose just 3.8%.   Increased output of wheat from places like Russia and Ukraine is sending usa exports to a 44-year low...   It takes about 1.2 pounds of nitrogen to produce a bushel of corn..."

DoJ agreed to end subsidies for sanctuaries
"At a House appropriations hearing yesterday, attorney-general Loretta Lynch announced that her department has agreed to begin enforcing federal law against sanctuary policies that obstruct communication and cooperation with federal immigration authorities.   Lynch's announcement is the result of pressure applied by representative John Culberson (R-Texas), who chairs the subcommittee that controls the budget for the Department of Justice.   Under his plan, state and local jurisdictions maintaining sanctuary policies that violate federal law now risk losing federal funds -- unless they stop protecting criminal aliens.   Sanctuary policies are a significant public safety problem and also make it more difficult for USAICE to deport aliens who get arrested for state and local crimes.   Since 2014 January, more than 15K criminal aliens that USAICE was seeking to deport have been released back to the streets instead due to sanctuary policies.   According to information I obtained through a FOIA request, most of these offenders had prior arrests, and one-fourth were already felons.   After being freed, nearly one-fourth were again arrested for new crimes within a short period of time.   The disclosure of this information last July, together with several widely publicized reports of Americans killed by illegal aliens who had been released by sanctuary jurisdictions, prompted Culberson to take action.   Following passage of the 2016 omnibus spending bill, which enabled him to use his authority, Culberson put Lynch on notice.   On February 1, he sent her a letter outlining 4 steps he expected her to take to ensure that state and local agencies that apply for federal funding are fully compliant with federal law, specifically 8 USC 1373.   He further declared that if she did not do so, then it would be very hard for him to look favorably on certain future DoJ budget requests she might make, and that he would take action using his authority as committee chairman..."

tough choices of over-seas intervention
"The United States has targeted a lot of rogues and their regimes in recent decades: Muammar Gadhafi, Saddam Hussein, Slobodan Milosevic, Mohamed Farrah Aidid, Manuel Noriega and the Taliban.   As a general rule over the last 100 years, any time the USA has bombed or intervened and then abruptly left the targeted country, chaos has followed.   But when America has followed up its use of force with unpopular peacekeeping, sometimes American interventions have led to something better.   The belated entry of the USA into World War 1 saved the sinking Allied cause in 1917.   Yet after the November 1918 armistice, the USA abruptly went home, washed its hands of Europe's perennial squabbling and disarmed.   A far bloodier World War 2 followed just 2 decades later.   It may have been wise or foolish for presidents John FitzGerald Kennedy and Lyndon Baines Johnson to have intervened in Vietnam in 1963-1964 to try to save the beleaguered non-communist south.   But after 10 years of hard fighting and a costly stalemate, it was nihilistic for America to abandon a viable South VietNam to invading communist North VietNam.   Re-education camps, mass executions and boat people followed -- along with more than 40 years of communist oppression...   In contrast, when the United States did not pack up and go home after its messy wars, our unpopular interventions often helped make life far better for all involved -- and the USA and its allies more secure.   The USA inherited a mess in the Philippines in 1899 after the defeat of imperial Spain in the Spanish-American war.   But after more than a decade of bloody counterinsurgency fighting, America finally birthed a Philippine national government that was given its independence after World War 2...   The choices are all awful.   But the idea that the USA can bomb a rogue regime, leave and expect something better is pure fantasy."

"...Very rarely does a law-maker so high in the House hierarchy have to sweat so hard to keep his seat.   The dynamics are eerily similar to when poorly funded Dave Brat came out of nowhere to topple former House [majority-loser] Eric Cantor in Virginia 2 years ago -- one of Brady's opponents called Brat an 'inspiration'.   Brady's 3 challengers -- Steve Toth, Chris McMichael and Andre Dean -- [note that] the 10-term congressman has lost touch with the district.   Brady's name ID is high, but so are his negatives...   They complain about the [Brady's] votes [against honest and open trade] and [for excessive] spending bills, and blame him for the government continuing to fund Planned Parenthood.   Two major tea party groups armed with massive e-mail lists are pushing Toth's candidacy, as is Michael Berry, a popular Houston talk radio host.   Brady's voting record hews too closely to the Chamber of Commerce agenda, his opponents say.   (As it happens, Brady is a former Chamber of Commerce executive.)...   In the first 6 weeks of the year, [Brady] spent an eye-popping $709,595, nearly 9 times the amount he dropped for the same period before his previous primary...   the 38-year-old McMichael, a computer network engineer who ran against Brady in 2014, garnering 32% of the vote after spending just several thousand dollars.   'So if someone else does it, I'm OK with that.'   Dean, who was parked on the side of Highway 105 in Conroe this week, his Ford Excursion covered in campaign posters, said, 'If Steve Toth is in the run-off, I will spend the next 3 months campaigning to get him elected.'..."

aliens & money: let's look at the big picture
"...The smaller stack of money is now largely in [Red China], and some $2G-$3G a year of it can be laboriously and clumsily brought into glittering big city investments (usually) through the EB-5 (immigrant investor) program.   The other stack of money, some $50G-plus, is the sum of all the remittances currently flowing out of our country every year.   Much of this is untaxed earnings.   With some rather minor public policy adjustments, a significant fraction of those funds, say $5G-$10G, could be caused to stay in America.   Which would you, the American people, prefer? [A.] The controversial, labor-intensive creation of an in-flow of $2G-$3G (i.e., EB-5) or [B.] the avoidance of what would have been an out-flow of $5G-$10G in remittances?... [or C. Both!]..."

Donald Trump loves foreign guest-workers
"Well, I obviously gave Donald Trump too much credit in my posting before Thursday's Republican debate in Houston.   I'd assumed it would be difficult for the other candidates to successfully go at Trump over his widespread use of guest-workers because they all want even more guest-workers than we have now (except for Cruz, who recently backpedalled a little).   Or, as Fred Bauer put it: 'Attacking Trump on H Visas Will Be Difficult for Candidates Who Support H Visas'.   But I guess Rubio counted on Trump's utter lack of preparation to avoid a counter-punch on Rubio's own support for massive increases in immigration, including guest-workers...   Rubio's shamelessness is breathtaking, but fortune favors the bold.   Not only did Trump not take the opportunity to deflect attention by gutting Rubio like a fish, as he could have.   He actually went into full Jobs Americans Won't Do mode...   Cruz and Rubio finally landed some blows against Trump in this debate..."

think Donald Trump will be tough on immigration? consider his company's use/abuse of guest-workers
"A huge part of Donald Trump's surge to the top of the polls in the GOP nomination race is the perception that he's going to be tough on immigration.   Exit polls from a number of states have shown that he's the favored candidate among voters who believe immigration is one of the most serious issues we face as a nation.   But voters who think Trump will take a tough stand on immigration -- legal, illegal, visas, and guest-workers -- should consider his company's hiring track record.   Last year, Reuters and some local media outlets in South Florida reported that Trump's company has used more than 1,100 guest workers via the H-2B visa program, which is for seasonal, unskilled, non-agricultural jobs.   And on Thursday, the New York Times published an investigative piece detailing how extensively Trump's signature Mar-a-Lago Club in South Florida has utilized guest-workers.   I wrote an in-depth report on H-2Bs in 2010, and I interviewed many H-2B visa applicants as a Foreign Service officer.   The H-2B program is more or less despised by both sides of the immigration debate.   The human rights community considers the program legalized slavery, and those who advocate stricter immigration enforcement believe that H-2B workers contribute to unemployment and wage stagnation for USA workers.   But the business community loves [executives love] this program because it brings them cheap, reliable labor -- people who can't quit or demand better working conditions.   Trump's company is certainly not alone in leaning on this program for guest-workers.   And I'm sure his supporters will wonder why the media hasn't shown much interest in covering other companies that use and abuse the guest worker program.   But when you put yourself out there as a guy who is going to champion American workers, as Trump has, you had better be prepared to defend your company's hiring practices.   For his part, Trump has claimed, essentially, that it's hard to find good help these days, and that since this program is legal, there is nothing wrong.   I suspect that very few voters will buy this argument.   I combed through the government data-bases detailing H-2B petitions and here are some observations regarding the Trump Organization's use of H-2B guest workers:   In petitioning for workers, employers are supposed to prove that their hiring need is 'seasonal' and 'temporary', yet Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club has sought to import guest workers year after year, including right now.   (Their most recent petition was filed in 2015 July and the workers are on contract at the resort until 2016 May 31.)   Trump maintained at the debate on Thursday night that the jobs he had filled with guest-workers were hard to fill because they were only for 90 or 120 days.   But in fact, the duration of the petitions was never just 3 months.   The work period for Mar-a-Lago's guest workers, according to the petitions, is nearly always October 1 to May 31, which is 8 months.   On other occasions, his company petitioned for even longer periods.   For example, in 2009, the Trump National Golf Club petitioned for guest-workers for the period January 26 through November 20.   I note that even during the height of the recession, this and other Trump properties were petitioning for workers.   In 2009, again, during the height of the recession, the Trump Organization used an H-2B broker called Más Labor to import workers.   Más Labor extols the benefits of Mexican workers on their web-site, which allows employers to add guest-workers to their online shopping carts.   'You'll never wonder if your workers are going to show up on Monday morning and make it through a full work week.', it reads.   'MAS H2 workers are dedicated to their families, their work and their employers.   They'll be there, ready to work hard for you...   The only thing an H-2 worker can do legally in the USA is work for their specified employer...   For Mexican workers, $7/hour to $9/hour is about 10 times what could be earned in most jobs at home.'   Más Labor is run by Elizabeth Whitley, a former congressional aide who is on the board of Save our Small Businesses, a leading advocacy group that lobbies Congress for guest workers.   As I reported in 2010, it is essentially a consortium of medium and large businesses that rely heavily on guest workers masquerading as a group of small business-people.   (Trump's companies also relied heavily on another individual based in Ithaca, NY, Peter Petrina.)   Based on the databases, it looks like the Trump Organization often pays workers exactly whatever the Department of Labor sets as the prevailing wage for that type of job and not a penny more.   So, for example, in 2010 housekeepers at Mar-a-Lago got $7.44, but right now they get $10.07 as the prevailing wage has gone up.   Many employers use shell companies and...bodyshops, which are brokers who petition for workers and then parcel them off to companies that need them.   This means that the Trump Organization's use of seasonal guest-workers could be even more significant than what we see in the data-bases."

there is little to "RESPECT" in DHS's new repatriation agreements
"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a press release this week announcing the signing of a series of repatriation agreements with the government of Mexico...   The 9 local agreements provide for the mechanisms by which the United States can deport, or remove under the less-formal means of voluntary departure, Mexican nationals back to their country..."
What strikes me is that they refuse to release the full text of the 9 "agreements" or "arrangements", but only the "base text".   And they are not binding treaties, won't be constitutionally ratified by the USA senate, but will be perversely touted as binding to the citizenry.

big tech's political tentacles: how search engine firms, "social media" manipulate people
"...Both are good at obscuring the agenda that really matters to them, while they put forward phony agendas based on popular causes as determined by all the information they collect on their customers.   Also, both have agendas that require big government's money and coercive power over that population in which most of their target market resides.   Neither is shy about doing what is required to obtain that cooperation, either.   Finally, both are 'free' to many of their customers, because government forces person-A to help pay for person-B's freebies...     The 2016 election has panicked the Washington, DC, insider's club.   Not because a particular Dem or Pubbie candidate is ahead.   It's because a non-club member is ahead.   Does anyone imagine that Big Tech will not be helping candidates into whom they already have their hooks?   This will be the at least the third election Big Tech has attempted to manipulate for their own benefit.   Popular 'social media' sites are gradually tightening the screws on free political speech, by ranking posts according to secret formulas, which result in a carefully curated appearance that leans heavily toward their own private agenda.   Search engines have it even easier.   Just a small adjustment to the ranking criteria can move a popular discussion blog from page 1 to page 101 with no one the wiser.   A simple ranking tweak can elevate Islamic results above Christian results, or one political candidate above another.   Thus potentially billions of dollars in marketing influence can be donated to candidates and political parties without a single dollar appearing on a campaign contribution report.   Us? Oh, no! We're totally neutral.   While the ease with which this deception can be carried out is astonishing, even more so is that most of those attending these free re-education camps are supportive of the effort!...   Yet beyond freedom, something even more precious remains for each of us to willingly hand over."

Abraham Lincoln's 1860-02-27 speech to Cooper Union: right makes might
"...At that point in the race, Lincoln was a heavy underdog to lead the surging and strengthening Republican Party.   But his lengthy speech defending the Constitution, the union, and the vision of the Founding Fathers catapulted him to victory in the most contentious election in American history...   Former Whigs and Democrats who had fought politically their whole lives—yet were nonetheless united in defense of the Constitution—joined forces in this new Republican coalition.   They were united in the belief that the ideas of the founding were fundamentally good and just.   America could be great only if it embraced the philosophy that brought it into being..."

  "Pig (cast) iron is high in carbon content (over 4%).   It is very hard, but will crack or break under shock.   It cannot be machined, which is why it is cast, that is, poured into molds to cool to shape.   Wrought iron can be hammered, drilled, & otherwise worked.   It will not break under shock & is highly resistant to corrosion, which makes it ideal for balcony railings & other open-air uses (cf. the Eiffel Tower).   To get from pig to wrought iron, most of the carbon has to be burned off, leaving 1% or less.   Wrought iron has long since been replaced by steel (1-3% carbon), which combines the virtues of both cast & wrought iron, that is, hardness with malleability; as a result, wrought iron is just about unobtainable today except as scrap.   The difficulty with the early coke-blast iron was that, on refining, it yielded an iron that was red-short, that is, brittle when hot.   Until that problem was solved, wrought iron was made using charcoal-blast pig." --- David S. Landes 1999 _The Wealth & Poverty of Nations_ pg 189 note

  "rational choice theory, though still the light & the way to many social theorists, is a subject of controversy within psychology.   It is too dependent, critics say, on analogies with computer algorithms & abstract optimality solutions.   It pays too little attention to the properties of the real brain, which is a stone-age organ evolved over hundreds of millennia & only recently thrust into the alien environment of industrialized society.   It is thus inconsistent with the evidence of how poeple in pre-literate cultures reason & have likely reasoned throughout evolutionary time...   It will be at once apparent, & should be a working premise of economists & other social scientists, that the same pre-literate traits are common-place among cult members, the deeply religious, & the less educated.   They permeate & enrich the metaphors of art.   They are, like it or not, part of modern civilization.   Systematic logico-deductive thought, which is very much a specialized part of Western cultur, comes hard OTOH, & is still rare.   While perfecting it we will be wise, I think, to discipline the old ways of thought but never to abandon them, never to forget that as part of adaptive human nature they conducted us alive & fecund all the way to the present age." --- Edward O. Wilson 1998 _Consilience_ pp 226-227
