"With the Syrian crisis entering its sixth year, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is thinking of 'innovative approaches' to 'organize' 'Syrian' admissions, alongside the 'refugee resettlement' program, to countries willing to welcome them.   UNHCR's target for resettlement is 480K places over the next 3 years; it is not sure how many additional admissions into the USA and elsewhere these new 'alternative safe path-ways' will ensure.   Refugees who are not resettled could be 'legally admitted' using various routes described below.   The legitimacy and transparency of these new 'alternative path-ways', aimed at admitting increasing numbers of 'Syrian' 'refugees' into the USA without calling them 'refugees', remain to be seen..."

former Abbott Labs STEM professionals net in North Chicago
"It was great to meet so many of you at Flanagan's in North Chicago on Friday.   Of course I have mixed feelings because of the source of the event: hundreds of Americans losing their jobs.   In case you have been getting your news from the 'main-stream media', Abbott Labs fired much of its American 'IT' staff and replaced them with imports from India through H-1B and other guestworker visa programs.   As usual with such stories that create cognitive dissonance with the [lobbyist Stuart Anderson's] narrative on immigration ('Immigrants don't take jobs; they create jobs'), the main-stream has chosen to largely ignore the Abbott Labs story.   This is yet another example of why the American media is completely clueless about the rise of Donald Trump.   Let's see:   [Yebbie Booosh] is an enthusiastic supporter of replacing Americans with foreign workers, as at Abbott Labs.   Marco Rubio sponsored 2 bills to increase the number of foreign replacements so America could have more Abbott Labs.   Donald Trump said that we should not be replacing American workers with foreign workers.   And the American media still thinks Donald Trump is the crazy one.   Wait until the general election, where it is likely Trump will be running against Hillary Clinton who, like the 'thoughtful' candidates rejected by Republican voters, is also an enthusiastic supporter of replacing Americans with foreign workers.   We can be certain that this will be no obstacle to her getting the endorsement of the New York Times this Fall.   The turn-out was great at the event Friday for the replaced Abbott Labs workers.   Even the 'Dump Paul Ryan' dump truck showed up -- along with Paul Nehlen, who is running a primary campaign against Ryan.   Michelle Malkin (second from right), my _Sold Out_ co-author, also was there.   Thanks to Sara Blackwell for 'organizing' the event."

sentencing for re-entry into USA after having been deported
"I've been blogging a lot recently about sentencing and incarceration in criminal cases, in the context of pending legislation that both chambers of congress are contemplating.   The bills would permit reduced sentences for many offenders, including aliens who smuggle narcotics by land or sea across our international borders.   It is legislation that I dislike, as do many current and former prosecutors and law enforcement officers.   But here are 2 more items that have come to my attention that touch on a different aspect of sentences imposed on aliens.   They have nothing to do with the pending legislation, but rather focus on the crime of illegal re-entry after removal (deportation; see 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1326).   First, though, a word about that federal felony offense: [Advocates for illegal aliens] would have you believe that it is victimless, and that offenders should go un-punished, as they largely do for the misdemeanor offense of illegally [invading the USA] the first time, in the interests of 'family unity'.   This air-brushes the hard facts.   Statistics in recent years have shown that the number of aliens who re-enter the United States after having been formally deported has risen.   According to those statistics, roughly one out of every four aliens apprehended, both at the border and in the interior, is a re-entrant-after-removal.   The figure is symptomatic of exactly how porous our border remains, notwithstanding pronouncements to the contrary.   But there is more to it than that.   The president and his cabinet would have us believe that they came up with the brilliant notion of prioritizing enforcement efforts on criminals.   They have done so in order to justify taking no action against hundreds of thousands of other illegal aliens, and in fact bestowing work permits and documents evidencing 'lawful presence' upon them.   That is absurd.   Finding, arresting, and deporting criminals was, and always has been, a priority of federal immigration authorities, who managed to do it without  'a) finding the need to accord 'lawful status" to other lawbreakers; or  b) under-mining the effort to identify criminals by pushing spurious sentencing 'reforms' that in fact let thousands of alien felons walk free.   Because taking custody of, and removing, alien criminals has always been a priority, the reality is that many of the individuals caught after re-entering the USA are felons and ex-cons who were deported after serving their jail sentences; they are not always simply family men seeking re-unification with wives and children, or hard workers only looking for decent jobs.   Now, for those two items I mentioned:   First, the supreme court ruled on April 20, in the case of an alien sentenced to 77 months in prison for having re-entered after deportation, that the sentence was un-lawful and that he was entitled to a re-sentencing hearing.   Although 77 months (almost 6.5 years) in prison may seem like a long sentence, it was handed down on the basis of federal sentencing guide-lines governing aliens, such as this individual, who were deported as aggravated felons and then returned unlawfully.   Though analysis established that the 77 months proved to be within the upper end of the guide-lines if they had been assessed correctly, they were not.   The court held that despite the alien and his counsel having initially accepted the sentence as applied, 'the court of appeals [which rejected the appeal] should exercise its discretion to correct the forfeited error if the error seriously affects the fairness, integrity or public reputation of judicial proceedings.' (Citations omitted.)   This is a highly technical decision based purely on insistence that the federal sentencing guidelines be calculated and applied correctly, even when an erroneous outcome might result in a sentence that still falls within the ceiling and floor of accurate calculations.   It is unlikely to affect many cases and is simply a warning shot across the bows of sentencing courts that they must be attentive to the complexities of the sentencing guide-lines.   The case does, however, illustrate the point I made earlier about the nexus between illegal re-entry and aliens deported for serious crimes.   It also leads us directly to the second item.   The USA Sentencing Commission has announced a revision of its sentencing guide-lines in cases involving aliens convicted of the crime of re-entry after deportation.   Ironically, the revisions, which modify the guidelines as they apply to alien felons, were announced on April 15, just five days prior to the Supreme Court's decision.   The revisions provide for upward enhancements to sentences imposed on aliens who re-enter after having committed serious crimes, as well as aliens convicted of smuggling unaccompanied minors or who sexually abuse the persons they are smuggling.   Chief-judge Patti Saris, who chairs the sentencing commission, is quoted as saying about the enhancements: 'The Commission was concerned by evidence that 48% of illegally returning offenders were convicted of at least one criminal offense, other than illegal re-entry, after their first deportation.   Overall, immigrants convicted of illegal re-entry have re-entered the country an average of 3.2 times.   However, the base offense level will remain the same as we also understand that there are many low level offenders who return to the USA for reasons related to family or work as well as reasons relating to conditions in their home country.'   So there you have it, neatly consolidated:   Approximately one-fourth of all aliens apprehended have been deported previously;   Nearly half of those who were deported for crimes, and who re-enter illegally, go on to commit another non-immigration related criminal offense after they re-enter; and   On average, aliens convicted for the federal re-entry offense have re-entered the USA illegally more than 3 times.   Anyone still buying into this administration's fib that it has made our borders secure or the fib of open-borders groups that illegal re-entry is a benign offense?"

Just as Pennsylvanians had developed the Conestoga wagon, so they bred heavy Conestoga horses, which were hitched 4 or more at a time to pull the heavy loads between Philadelphia, Lancaster, York, Gettysburg, and nearby towns. Known also as Lancaster or Pennsylvania horses, they were the largest in America, sometimes exceeding 17 hands in height [about 5 feet 8 inches]." --- Parke S.

Florman have made higher estimates).   While executives of earlier times were in the habit of investing in flying in STEM job candidates from all around the USA for interviews, providing relocation assistance, and 2-16 weeks of new-hire training (followed by 2-4 weeks per year of training for retained USA citizen employees, and more relocation assistance when it was beneficial to the executives to up-root STEM professionals and their families).   Since the glut of cheap, young, pliant, low-skilled labor with flexible ethics created by the H-1B visa programs, these practices and expectations have fallen.   Executives complain that it is "hard" to recruit, when in reality they are unwilling to try, and several have been caught scamming job applicants into sending their resumes and other application materials to immigration lawyers tasked with fabricating pretexts on which to reject all USA applicants.   Indeed, local Pittsburgh lawyers at Cohen & Grigsby were caught on video teaching how to pull such scams while carefully staying just barely within the law, e.g. posting job ads where USA STEM pros are less likely to become aware of them.   Today, BLS and NCES data show that the talent of literally millions of USA STEM professionals is being intentionally wasted.   This fact-checker calls BS on the Post-Gazette idiotorial board, the chambers of crony socialists, and the once worthy AEI.

  "It was not unusual to see 100 Conestoga wagons in 1 day carrying produce from Great Road towns to Philadelphia, wrote Dr. Benjamin Rush in 1789.   And each wagon he observed, was drawn by 4 or 5 large horses of 'a peculiar breed' developed in PA.   Actually the Conestoga [horse] was a hybrid of English and Flemish draft horse and of saddle horse.   Originated by farmers of the Conestoga Valley, these patient plodders developed greater size and strength over the years.   This was partly due to the good feeding and care provided by the 'just, humane, and generous' Germans of the [Shenandoah Valley].   As one farmer put it, 'being well fed, protected from the cold and inclemency of the weather when not actually in service, and never over-worked or abused, this horse, under this kind treatment, attained the full developemnt of his natural powers'.   Weaned at 3 months, a Conestoga colt was turned out to pasture until 2 and a half years old, when it was broken to the bridle.   Thereafter it was accustomed gradually to pull its load while growing to mammoth size.   PA Dutchmen did not humor horses as Southerners did.   Neither their brood mares nor stallions were exempt from puling plow or wagon as needed.   Occasionally a prized stud horse was absolved from labor in mating season, but thrifty Germans exacted hard service for all who worked for them.   Mares were worked until a few weeks before foaling.   They returned to work usually a week afterward, their colts tagging along at their side." --- Parke S. Rouse ii 1973 _The Great Wagon Road_ pp230-231

immigration/marriage fraud indictments and chain-immigration
"If it had not been for the terrorist shootings in San Bernardino, CA, an immigration/marriage fraud situation would probably have gone unnoticed by the authorities.   But because of the killings by Syed Rizwan Farook and the woman he brought to the United States as his alien bride, Tashfeen Malik, the fraudulent marriage between Farook's friend, Enrique Marquez ii, and Mariya Chernykh has now -- months later -- led to yesterday's immigration fraud indictments against the 3 people in the middle of the [graph]...   The killings not only exposed the fraudulent Chernykh/Marquez marriage, they also provided a graphic illustration of the extended chain migration that is facilitated, and even encouraged, by USA immigration law, with its emphasis on the admission of family members of (usually) previously arrived immigrants.   While the combination of marriage fraud and murder occurs every so often, immigration-related marriage fraud usually happens within a single ethnic group; in this case, the groom has a Spanish name, his fake bride and her sister are Russian, and the others are of Pakistani origin.   Among the things that Marquez did for his friend and neighbor, the late Syed Rizwan Farook, was to purchase weapons for him and his wife..."

  "The first KY race-course was built in 1789 at Lexington.   Then and there Kentucky's long love affair with racing began.   Horse breeding also had an early beginning in TN.   A weekly there advertised in 1799 that Spotted Medley, 'got by Gimrack, got by Imported Medley, a beautiful dapple gray, rising 6 years, full 15 hands high', was at stud at Flowery Spring plantation.   The fee was 'three dollars the leap'.   The bluegrass of mid-Kentucky and Tennessee [first found in the Shenandoah Valley] proved ideal for the horses which had carried early horsemen through Cumberland Gap.   There the settlers found lustrous meadows of thick, matted turf enclosed in the dense virgin forest of the Ohio Valley.   There the wild pea vine grew luxuriantly, attracting hosts of deer and buffalo.   In these fields, burned clear by the Indians, colts could browse the year round and absorb the lime to build strong legs and long bodies." --- Parke S. Rouse ii 1973 _The Great Wagon Road_ pp231-232
