"It was an age of farmers. New York, the largest town in North Ameria, had only 33K residents. Philadelphia had grown into a metropolis of 28K when president Washington and the congress moved there in 1790, pending the choice of a permanent capital city. Otherwise, the United States was open land, dotted only occasionally with small towns like Boston, Albany, Baltimore, and Charleston." --- Parke S. Rouse ii 1973 _The Great Wagon Road_ pg213

Center for Immigration Studies report: most recent immigrants come from Asia, Muslim-dominated nations, Central & South America
CIS: new data: immigration surged in 2014 & 2015
"The CIS breakdown of 2014-2015 Census statistics reveal growth in both legal and illegal immigration from Cuba, VietNam and [Red China] -- and an explosive influx from South Asian countries such as Pakistan, India and Afghanistan that has more than doubled in five years, from 271K to 550K. According to the pro-immigration control group, record highs were recorded by immigration from East Asia, which hit 583K, and the Caribbean, which reached 307K. Also, Latin American nations other than Mexico nearly doubled since 2013, jumping from 458K in the 2012-2013 period to 878K in the following two years, according to CIS. The number of immigrants from Mexico increased slightly to 338K in 2014-2015 -- about one-third of the total from 10 years ago, the Center reports... In all, 3.1M new legal and illegal immigrants settled in the United States in 2014 and 2015 -- a 39% increase over the prior 2 years, the Center reports. Of the total, 1.1M, or 550K annually, were illegal immigrants, up from the 700K illegal immigrants, or 350K annually, entering in 2012 and 2013. [CIS] reports the census data indicates the number of new legal immigrants, both temporary and permanent, has gone up about 30%, from 1.6M in 2012-2013 to 2M in 2014-2015."

privacy rights of visa applicants & illegal aliens are or should be under congressional and judicial scrutiny
"A few days ago, I posted a short item on the irony of the Department of Justice (DoJ) asking the 5th circuit court of appeals to over-turn USA district court judge Andrew Hanen's order imposing sanctions on DoJ attorneys for repeatedly misleading his court in their briefs. DoJ claims that judge Hanen's order exceeds the scope of his constitutional authority. But another portion of the order directed DoJ to turn over to him the names and identifying data of all of the 100K-plus [NIGHTMARES] who received extensions under another, related [unconstitutional and illegal] executive action program that the DoJ attorneys had promised the judge were not being acted on (the source of the repeated misrepresentations to the judge). DoJ is also appealing that directive to the 5th Circuit. As Hans von Spakovsky has noted, DoJ has asserted in its brief that doing so would 'breach the confidence of these individuals (and of others who submit information to USCIS) in the privacy of such records', while at the same time acknowledging that illegal aliens have no privacy rights under federal law. The Privacy Act [of 1974=PA1974; an amendment to FOIA; S3418/HR16373 introduced by Sam J. Ervin & William S. Moorhead; Public Law 93-579; 5 USC 552a; 88 Stat. 1896-1909; GPO S/N 052-001-004-00439-6] is very clear in limiting privacy rights to 'USA persons' who are defined as USA citizens and lawfully resident aliens -- nobody else. Unsurprisingly, a coalition of open borders groups has now banded together to also ask the Fifth Circuit to quash Judge Hanen's directive to turn over identifying records, via a petition for a writ of mandamus. News media carrying the story helpfully cite the stories of a couple of the affected [NIGHTMARES], Angela Villalobos and Juan Escalante, both of whom are quoted. Apparently a fear of having their privacy invaded doesn't extend to speaking to the media. How curious. This make-it-up-as-you-go approach by the [Obummer regime] toward creating and expanding the faux privacy rights of illegal aliens may seem innocuous, perhaps even laudable, but it is not. It has been used by the administration to withhold information from citizens who have been the victims of crimes by illegal aliens, and who rightly seek to know who has harmed them (see here and here, for example). That is one reason why the Center, when it published a list of 79 actions the next president could take to undo the damage wrought by the [Obummer regime], added a section on eliminating false privacy 'rights' and assisting victims of alien crime (items 69 through 73). Whether any of our suggestions comes to pass, including those to rescind the fake privacy rights of illegal aliens in favor of hewing to federal law, naturally will depend on the November elections. In the mean-time, the 5th Circuit has a chance to exercise its prerogative to force the administration back into line in at least this one area -- and in so doing, protect the rights of victims and, significantly, the right of the public to know what is going on behind the curtain at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its subordinate agencies. All the appellate court need do is deny the mandamus, and require DoJ (and DHS) to honor judge Hanen's directive."

the curious path of Mainak Sarkar: from F-1 --> OPT --> H-1B --> green-card-by-marriage --> serial murder --> suicide
"One of the irritating aspects of the American press is its routine refusal to report in any detail on the immigration status of prominent criminals. Take the recent case of Mainak Sarkar, an apparently thin-skinned and mentally unbalanced citizen of India who first killed his estranged wife, a USA citizen whose marriage to him made him a green card carrier, and then, a week or so ago, shot the university professor who helped him overcome what sounds like a marginal dissertation to secure his PhD. Subsequently Sarkar killed himself, according to the Associated Press. All that the AP story tells us about his immigration status is that he arrived from India with an Indian bachelor's degree in 2001 on a student (F-1) visa and, at the time of his death, he had a green card. Using the AP report for clues, as well as Times of India and Daily Mail coverage, we can outline his probable civil status as follows: 2001-2003: Arrives in the USA with a F-1 visa and works as a research assistant at the University of Texas at Arlington; 2003-2005: At Stanford getting a master's degree in engineering, probably still on the F-1 visa; 2005-2011: Studying for a PhD at UCLA; his immigration status during at least part of the time would have been as an F-1 student, but he also could have had periods of optional practical training (OPT), a version of the F-1 status for college grads, or H-1B status as he worked during part of this time for a Texas firm; 2011: Marries the USA citizen that he subsequently killed, Ashley Hasti, a medical student at the time of her death; they subsequently separated, but when it is not clear; at this point he has a conditional green card; 2013: After a long struggle, he gets his PhD at UCLA, and apparently his permanent green card as well; 2014: Works for a while at an Ohio-based rubber company, Endurica, separating from them the same year; 2016: Kills his estranged wife in Minnesota, then drives west to kill professor William Klug and another UCLA professor who was, happily, absent from the campus on the day that Klug was killed; then Sarkar kills himself. Sarkar was said to be furious with Klug, contending that Klug had stolen code from him and given it to another student. A missing element of the press coverage was his source of funding throughout these years when he was not, as he was off and on, in private industry. Routinely PhD candidates in the hard sciences at a prestigious place like UCLA are fully funded by the university, often with the help of research grants from the federal government. How much American money was devoted to his education? Nor were we told anything about the nature of Sarkar's marriage, and nothing may ever be known, since both the participants are dead. Was it a genuine marriage that simply collapsed, as many marriages do, or did he gull her into a marriage only to get the green card, and then dump her when the card arrived? It should be noted that murders by PhDs -- native or foreign-born -- are distinctly the exception, not the rule; presumably 99.9-plus percent of murders are committed by people with less education. Murder and immigration-related marriage fraud, however, sometimes coincide, as we have reported in the past."

should you be required to beg for government permission to do most kinds of work? any kind of work?
"...For decades, states have declared more and more occupations off-limits to anyone without a government permit. 'In the early 1950s less than 5% of USA workers were required to have a license from a state government in order to perform their jobs legally.', observed the Brookings Institution in a study last year. 'By 2008, the share of workers requiring a license to work was estimated to be almost 29%.' To become a barber in Massachusetts, as Leon Neyfakh noted in the Boston Globe last year, a prospective hair-cutter must spend 1K hours of study at a barber school, followed by a year and a half as an apprentice. Florida mandates a minimum of 6 years of training before it will license an interior designer. In Oklahoma, anyone wishing merely to sell caskets has to earn a degree in mortuary science, undergo a year-long apprenticeship in funeral services, and pass a state-mandated exam. Licensing requirements just as onerous or ludicrous can be found in almost every state. Arizona licenses talent agents. Tennessee prohibits shampooing hair without a license. But the pendulum is finally heading in the other direction..."

his near-monopoly Internet/telecomm service provider's band-width remained inadequate after years, and they refused to improve
"...this Comcast subscriber... A Washington, DC-based reddit user going by the name AlekseyP was so frustrated with his download speeds that he set up a Twitter bot that tweets at Comcast every time his Internet service drops below a certain threshold. How does he do it? With a Raspberry Pi -- a small, low-power computer beloved by hobbyists -- that continuously monitors his home bandwidth. AlekseyP pays for 150 Mbps down-load speeds. But, he said, he often gets just 10 to 30 Mbps -- a fraction of the advertised speed. So whenever his down-load rate drops below 50 Mbps, AlekseyP's Raspberry Pi sends a message prodding Comcast about it: 'Hey @Comcast why is my internet speed 31down\9up when I pay for 150down\10up in Washington DC? @ComcastCares @xfinity #comcast #speedtest'... all of Comcast customers deserve to receive their advertised speeds..."

Gonzalo Curiel kerfuffel
"...For instance, while Mitch McConnell, Newt Gingrich, and members of corporate media have attacked Trump for his criticism of judge Curiel, they did not mention Curiel's status as a member of the La Raza Lawyers of San Diego. La Raza literally translates to mean 'the race'. Nor did they mention that Curiel 'oversaw the gift of a law school scholarship to an illegal alien', as the Daily Caller reported. Separately, the media rarely reports that the legal firm behind the law-suit gave money to the Clintons. The Daily Caller notes that the La Raza Lawyers of San Diego is not a local chapter of the National Council of La Raza, and the San Diego group claims to protest the literal translation of its organization's name -- arguing that they are made up of different races. While it's gone largely ignored by corporate media, Ann Coulter has pointed out the implications of Curiel's decision to join a group that views his profession through the prism of his ethnicity -- and joined, not just a Hispanic association, but a group that seems to have more explicitly racial connotations. Coulter tweeted, 'Re: Trump University -- Would [leftists] accept a white judge -- under any circumstances -- who was a member of a White Race organization?' Indeed, if the judge had been Caucasian and was a member of a Caucasian advancement group, one could imagine that anything the judge had ever said or written would be completely parsed out by the public. The significance of this is underscored by the fact that as a judge sworn to 'faithfully and impartially' perform the duties incumbent upon him under the Constitution and laws of the United States, Curiel has been involved in subsidizing illegal activity by partially funding the college admissions of an illegal immigrant. The judge's decision to involve himself in the furtherance of an illegal act, which comes at the direct expense of American citizens who need financial assistance, seems to suggest that on matters pertaining to immigration, the judge may perhaps be willing to place political and personal ends above legal ends. This fact could lend credence to the argument that in Trump's case, Curiel is perhaps placing his political considerations above legal considerations. Similarly, McConnell, Gingrich and members of the corporate media have attacked Trump for saying that governor Martinez has 'got to do a better job'..."

GOP Briefing Room discussions on borders, visas, immigration
"...Why would he use facts when lies work so much better?... The left deliberately ignores that conservative opposition to liberal open borders policy has nothing to do with race or ethnicity. It rejects that [the USA] is based on an idea. Our bond as [patriotic USA citizens] has been grounded not in our ethnic background but in our unified commitment to liberty, equality of opportunity, equal justice under the law and the belief that we human beings, made in God's image, have certain unalienable rights. Ironically, the very reason millions upon millions have immigrated to America is that it has been uniquely free and prosperous because of these foundational principles. Ronald Reagan encapsulated the concept beautifully when he said: 'America represents something universal in the human spirit. I received a letter not long ago from a man who said, «You can go to Japan to live, but you cannot become Japanese. You can go to France to live and not become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey, and you won't become a German or a Turk.» But then he added, «Anybody from any corner of the world can come to [the USA] to live and become an American.»'..."

"...raped by at least 2 human smugglers who recorded the rape on a tablet... The most recent figures released by USA Customs and Border Protection revealed that from October to April from this fiscal year, authorities have made 223,869 apprehensions. According to the current models, the figure is likely to surpass the 331,333 apprehensions from the entire 2015 fiscal year. The large majority of them being made in the Rio Grande Valley Sector in South Texas. Of those apprehensions from 2016 October to April, 32,952 have been unaccompanied minors up to 17-years-of-age.

Mahmoud Abbas claims Bible says Palestinians have been in Israel for 6K years, predating Abraham; claims they invented the alphabet
"...PMW refuted the claim as entirely false, explaining: 'The Palestinians who are Arabs could not have had ancestors in the land from biblical times predating Israelite and Judean statehood because Arabs only arrived in the land in 637CE with the Muslim invasion. Needless to say, the «Palestinians» [the people calling themselves Palestinians today] are not mentioned in the Bible.' Abbas also claimed that the... 'Canaanite-Palestinians' were the creators the modern-day alphabet... Most language historians hold that the written word was not invented until roughly 3,200BCE in Mesopotamia with the first pure alphabets emerging around 1800BCE in ancient Egypt [proto-Phoenician after that, then Hebrew, and Arabic in the 600sCE]. Supreme sharia judge Mahmoud al-Habbash...'...Our forefathers are the monotheist Canaanites and Jebusites. They are the ones who built Jerusalem, before Abraham was even here.', Al-Habbash said in a televised sermon last Friday..."
Archaeologists are still sorting it out, but yes, the Philistines invaded the Levant and tried to invade Egypt much later than Abbas and al-Habbash are claiming. The Philistines never occupied the area of Jerusalem, and certainly not the land between Jerusalem and Amman.
"Similarly, Mycenaean sea-men were among the leagued 'Peoples of the Sea' who attacked Egypt toward the end of the 13th century BCE... The definitive repulse of these sea raids occurred about 1190BCE, when the pharoah's army and navy defeated mutually supporting land and sea forces that had advanced from the north. The remnant of the defeated attackers settled in Palestine [Caaan/Israel], where they became the Philistines of biblical history and gave their ethnic name to the land... The Iliad of Homer probably represents the memory of still a third such venture, directed northward against Troy at the gate of the Dardanelles, traditionally (and perhaps accurately) dated 1184BCE." --- William Hardy McNeill 1963, 1964 _The Rise of the West_ pg192 (citing A.R. Burn 1930 _Minoans, Philistines and Greeks 1400-900BCE_)
"Our knowledge of the early Philistines, of the 12th to 10th centuries BCE, comes from several sources, both historical and archaeological. An inscription and reliefs from the days of pharaoh Ramesses ii (1182-1161BCE) commemorate his land and naval victories over a group named Peleset and other invading people, who 'made a conspiracy in their islands' and simultaneously attacked Egypt by land and sea. A later Egyptian papyrus from the days of Ramesses iv (1151-1145BCE) reports that these defeated foes were settled in Egyptian strong-holds. At that time Egypt still dominated the southern coastal plain of Canaan -- exactly the place where the Torah/Bible locates the cities of the Philistines... Indeed, archaeological excavations of levels from the era following Ramesses iii have revealed the appearance of a new ceramic style, unmistakable for its elaborate painted decoration of geometrical shapes and stylized birds and fish, which is closely related to the pottery traditions of Cyprus and the Aegean -- the area from which the Peleset-Philistines are believed to have come... Egyptian texts mention at least 2 more groups of Sea People -- the Sikila [Sqrssw/Shekelesh/Siculi] and the Sherdani [Sherden/Sharana and Lukka/Lkkw/Lycians and Trs-w/Teresh/Tursci] -- who settled on the coast of Canaan." --- Israel Finkelstein & Neil Asher Silberman 2006 _David and Solomon: In Search of the Bible's Sacred Kings and the Roots of the Western Tradition_ pp189-190
"throughout the Iron Age [c. 1150BCE-586BCE] -- the era of the Israelite monarchies -- pigs were not cooked and eaten, or even raised in the highlands. Comparative data from the coastal Philistine settlements of the same period -- the Iron Age i [c. 1150BCE-900BCE] -- show a surprisingly large number of pigs represented among the recovered animal bones. Though the early Israelites did not eat pork, the Philistines clearly did, as did (as best we can tell from the sketchier data) the Ammonites and Moabites east of the Jordan. A ban on pork cannot be explained by environmental or economic reasons alone. It may, in fact, be the only clue that we have of a specific, shared identity among the highland villagers west of the Jordan." --- Israel Finkelstein & Neil Asher Silberman 2001 _The Bible UnEarthed: Archaeology's new Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts_ pg119
"By the 11th century BCE, the Philistines, who had previously settled along the southern coast, consolidated the power of their cities. The Phoenician successors of the coastal Canaanites occupied the maritime ports of the north." --- Israel Finkelstein & Neil Asher Silberman 2001 _The Bible UnEarthed: Archaeology's new Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts_ pg160
"By contrast, other important events soon happened in the Shephelah that offered an opportunity for Judahite expansion there. The account in 2 Kings 12:17 reports that Hazael/חזאל/Chezal, king of Damascus [Aram], 'went up and fought against Gath, and took it'. Recent archaeological excavations at the site of this powerful Philistine center, Tell es-Safi in the western Shephelah, by Aren Maeir of Bar Ilan University, have revealed dramatic confirmation for the destruction of the city that threatened Judah's western villages since David's 10th-century bandit days. 9th-century Gath was a huge city that stretched over an area of about 100 acres [only a little over half the size of many major state universities, less than a fifth the size of my grand-father's farm, about one-hundredth the size of my umpty-great uncle's ranch at what is now Baytown, TX]. It was surrounded by a sophisticated siege system, put to the torch, and completely destroyed." --- Israel Finkelstein & Neil Asher Silberman 2006 _David and Solomon: In Search of the Bible's Sacred Kings and the Roots of the Western Tradition_ pg115
"In the Summer of 1996, a dramatic inscription was recovered by archaeologists Trude Dothan and Sy Gitin in their excavations at Tel Miqne in the western Shephelah, a site securely identified with the ancient Philistine city of Ekron [Akron]. It was a late-7th-century BCE dedication inscribed on a lime-stone block, bearing the name of Ikausu, ruler of the city at that time. This Ikausu is also mentioned in Assyrian records from the time of kings Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal as one of Levantine rulers who paid tribute to Assyria. The name Ikausu is linguistically similar to the name of the Philistine king Achish; many scholars have sugested it was a traditional Philistine royal name that had been used since the 10th century BCE... the story of the alliance between David and an ancient Achish may have aimed at legitimizing the relationship between the 'new David' -- Josiah -- and the city of the new Achish: Ekron[Akron]." --- Israel Finkelstein & Neil Asher Silberman 2006 _David and Solomon: In Search of the Bible's Sacred Kings and the Roots of the Western Tradition_ pp191-192
"The Greek historian Herodotus reports that Carian and Ionian mercenaries served in the Egyptian army and were stationed in Egyptian border forts in the days of Psammetichus i, who took over the Philistine coast in the late 7th century BCE. This testimony issupported by Assyrian sources, which point to Lydia as the source of these troops, and by a wide range of archaeological evidence. Excavations in the Nile delta revealed the unmistakable presence of 7th-century BCE Greek colonies through the evidence of imported Greek pottery and other artiacts. Greek and Carian [Western Anatolian] inscriptions have been found at Abu Simbel; and a 7th-century BCE inscription found in the vicinity of Priene in Asia Minor mentions Psammetichus i in a dedication left by a Greek soldier who served as a mercenary for him." --- Israel Finkelstein & Neil Asher Silberman 2006 _David and Solomon: In Search of the Bible's Sacred Kings and the Roots of the Western Tradition_ pg197
"The kingdoms of Judea and Israel were threatened not only by the 2 great world powers, Egypt and Assyria, but even by the Philistines from the Palestinian coastal plain, and by the Arameans of adjacent Syria from the northern side. In 722BCE-721BCE the Assyrian king Shalamanezer v (reigned 727BCE-722BCE) conquered the kingdom of Israel and he or his successor, Sargon ii (reigned 722BCE-705BCE), deported many Israelites to Mesopotamia and replaced them with non-Jewish colonists (2Kings 17:506). They inter-married with the remaining Jewish population, and according to the biblical account they adopted their religion, which they mixed with their ancestral paganism and thus became Samarians (2Kings 17:24-41) Their place of worship [and residence today] was at Mount Gerizim near the city of Samaria. The southern kingdom of Judah managed to maintain some kind of independence for more than a century and even experienced a religious revival during the reign of king Josiah (reighed 640BCE-609BCE). In his days, in the course of repair works done in the Temple of Jerusalem, the High Priest reported the 'discovery' of the hidden, and thus forgotten, Book of the Law (2Kings 22:3-10). The legend purports to sanction the reform introduced bo Josiah, which was based on Deuteronomy, the fifth section of the Pentateuch, source of the so-called Deuteronomic reform. One of its principal innovations was the closing down of the previously flourishing provincial sanctuaries at BethEl, Dan, Shiloh, and so on, and their replacement by the single Temple of Jerusalem." --- Geza Vermes 2014 _The True Herod_ pp6-7

senator Jeff Sessions: there is no shortage of capable & willing USA citizen workers; there is a shortage of jobs and an unsilingness to hire USA citizens
"...The Department of Labor reported last month the labor participation rate for all Americans was 62.6%, for those with a high school equivalent it was 57%, and for those without a high school diploma the labor participation rate was just 44%. 'These statistics make clear that there is simply not a shortage of American workers, rather there is a shortage of Americans with jobs to work. Too few have jobs.', Sessions said. But special interests demand more foreign labor, which Sessions stressed is less expensive and easier to [abuse]. Accordingly, the Alabama law-maker argued that it is up to congress to focus on the plight of American workers..."
Employment/ population ratios are 59.9%, down from 64.9% in 1999 & 2000; for men it is 66%, down from 86.2% in 1952; for those with less than a HS diploma it is 34.6%, down from 44.2%; for those with a HS diploma or equivalent it is 53.1%, down from 63.5%; for those with some college it is 62.7%, down from 73%; for those with a bachelor's degree or equivalent it is 71.5%, down from 79.8%; for blacks it is 47.8%, down from 61.4% in 2000 (and even higher, some economists suggest, before 1965); among Asians it is 58.7%, down from 65.6%. Average duration of unemployment while actively seeking work is 27.8 weeks, compared with the 6.6 weeks typical of times of near full employment; median duration is 11.4 weeks, compared with 3.6 weeks at or near full employment. Average duration of unemployment for those seeking full-time work is 30.2 weeks, vs. 10.1 weeks in near full empoyment; median 13.4 weeks vs. 4.4 weeks in times of near full employment. Annual data from Walter E. Williams (1982 _The State Against Blacks_ pp37-38) and BLS show the unemployment rate for blacks (LNU04000006) in 2015 of 9.6% compared with the historical minimum of 7.6% in 2000 and maximum 19.5% in 1983; for 18-19-year-old blacks (LNU04000140) it was 27.9%, compared with the 8.1% minimum in 1953 and 47.8% maximum in 1982; for 20-24-year-old blacks (LNU04000042) it was 16.4% compared with the historical minimum of 6.7% in 1951 and maximum 31.6% in 1983. In 1948, the unemployment rate for 16-17-year-old whites (LNU04000110) was 10.2%, while for 16-17-year-old blacks (LNU04000138) it was 9.8%.

on college/university admission, military recruiting, and illegal aliens
"Bastion of truth and rectitude Politifact recently assessed a statement by Wisconsin state representative Dale Kooyenga: 'Today it is more difficult to enlist in the USA military than it is to enroll in college.'... And yet, also in their words, 'there are credible estimates saying that roughly 75% of young adults in America wouldn't be eligible to enlist if they tried, while roughly 2 out of 3 high school graduates go on to a 2- or 4-year college'. So Kooyenga pretty much nailed it. Politifact's 'researchers' and 'analysts' seem like close kin to the arbiters at FB, who were recently outed for suppressing [non-leftist] views, in that they consistently measure what they perceive of as [non-leftist] statements with a fine tooth comb, whereas they equally consistently make allowances in pushing the meter to 'true' for all but the most absurd pearls uttered by [leftists of whatever degree of extremity]... I want to focus on the selectivity of military recruiting -- a good thing, all in all, because it ensures smart, capable armed forces... In its recent vote on the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to fund troops, materiel, operations, and readiness, Congress had a chance to ditch a program called 'Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest' (MAVNI), which is a deliberately obscure name for the Pentagon's directive to its recruiters to sign up 'legal non-citizens with in-demand skills to join the [military] in exchange for expedited USA citizenship'. But, as with many of this administration's policies, what you think you see isn't what you get. The MAVNI net has been cast so wide that 'legal non-citizens' in fact includes illegal aliens... [contrary to] the expectation that they obey the immigration laws and leave or face deportation. Exactly why it is in the national interest to recruit illegal aliens of dubious loyalty, whose backgrounds are impossible to adequately investigate, and whose very identities are open to question, has never been explained. Representative Paul Gosar (R-AZ) introduced a floor amendment to kill the program during debate on the NDAA in mid-May. What happened? Despite promises to open up debate and end the dubious bottle-stopping tactics of his predecessor whenever disliked or inconvenient motions or amendments were put forward, House speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI), true to his open borders agenda, quickly, quietly, and effectively put a stake through the heart of the outrageous notion that the military is no place to experiment with immigration policy or push amnesty agendas. So MAVNI continues..."

"...The conference, initially started by the Dutch royal family in the 1950s, is the subject of various internet conspiracy theories and is said to have been the incubator for ideas ranging from 'free' trade agreements like NAFTA to the creation of what was to become the European Union. The 2016 Bilderberg conference is scheduled to begin Thursday and one of the topics in particular called: 'Europe: migration, growth, reform, vision, unity' will deal with issues surrounding the [migrant/ refugee/ asylum seeker/ illegal alien/ invader] crisis..."

CDCP warning of zika, down-playing re-introduction of tuberculosis and more arcane communicable diseases
"...35% of 'refugees' in Vermont test positive for latent TB, yet officials are silent on how many have active, infectious TB and how many are being treated for the disease. 'Refugees' are being settled in areas such as Rutland Vermont, without public input or approval and without disclosure of the health risks they pose. 22% of refugees resettled in Minnesota by the federal government, or more than 1 in every 5, tested positive for TB in 2014... 18% of all 'refugees' 're-settled' in Arizona have latent TB on arrival. Arizona identified 222 cases of TB among 'refugees' whose latent TB became active and infectious... CDCP is disregarding its own experts' advice on screening and treatment of entrants... 'refugees' known by the federal government to have active TB being sent to Florida (11 cases) and Indiana (4 cases)... Shutting the door to out-of-control immigration, as Donald Trump advocates, is a 'first do no harm' common-sense measure for public health as well as national security."

Thomas Sowell _Jewish World Review_
is individual, personal responsibility obsolete? (part 2 of 2)
"Too many 'social problems' are conceived of in terms of what 'we' can do for 'them'. After decades of massive expansions of the welfare state, the answer seems to range from "not very much" to 'making matters worse'. Undaunted, people in a number of countries are coming up with new proposals that are variations on the theme of government-provided income -- which amounts to relieving people from personal responsibility. Yet even some conservatives and libertarians are coming up with proposals for more 'efficient' versions of the [illfare] state [instead of saving us all by enthusiastically and industriously joining the efforts to eradicate it]..."

elitist arrogance (part 1 of 2)
"...For every employee paid $15 an hour, a company spends an additional $10 an hour on non-wage benefits, such as medical insurance, [Socialist Insecurity], workers' compensation and other taxes. That means the minimum hourly cost of hiring such an employee is close to $25. The vision that higher mandated wages (that exceed productivity) produce no employment effects is what economists call a zero-elasticity view of the world — one in which there is no response to price changes. It assumes that customers are insensitive to higher product prices and investors are insensitive to a company's profits. There is little evidence that people are insensitive to price changes, whether they be changes in taxes, gas prices, food prices, labor prices or any other price. The issue is not whether people change their behavior when relative prices rise or fall; it is always how soon and how great the change will be..."

"The mental infection known as 'political correctness' is one of the most dangerous intellectual afflictions ever to attack mankind. The fact that we began by laughing at it -- and to some extent, still do -- doesn't diminish its venom one bit. PC has an enormous appeal to the semieducated, one reason that it's struck roots among overseas students at minor colleges. But it also appeals to pseudo-intellectuals everywhere, since it evokes the strong streak of cowardice notable among those wielding academic authority nowadays. Any empty-headed student with a powerful voice can claim someone (never specified) will be 'hurt' by a hitherto harmless term, object or activity...

'House Appropriations committee chairman Harold Rogers, R-KY, called the $2G «a slush fund»...'... [Crony socialist] 'Slush fund' is probably a good guess for the fate of the missing $590M. An awful lot of federal cash has been magically appearing in the hands of [leftist] special interest groups during the [Obummer] years -- a feeding frenzy most clearly visible in the mortgage settlement racket, which basically has banking customers unwittingly subsidizing the National Council of La Raza and the Urban League, with Justice Department lawyers acting as bag men..."

USA: history's exception
"The history of nations is mostly ch Most national boundaries reflected linguistic, religious and ethnic homogeneity. Until the late 20th century, diversity was considered a liability, not a strength. Countries and societies that were ethnically homogeneous, such as ancient Germanic tribes or modern Japan, felt that they were inherently more stable and secure than the alternative, whether late imperial Rome or contemporary America. Many societies created words to highlight their own racial purity. At times, 'Volk' in German and 'Raza' in Spanish (and 'Razza' in Italian) meant more than just shared language, residence or culture; those words also included a racial essence. Even today, it would be hard for someone Japanese to be fully accepted as a Mexican citizen, or for a native-born Mexican to migrate and become a Japanese citizen. Many cultures reflected their suspicion of diversity by using pejorative nouns for the 'other'. 'Odar' in Armenian denoted the rest of the world that was not ethnically Armenian. For Japanese, the 'gaijin' are those who by nationality, ethnicity and race cannot become fully Japanese. [Ditto in ancient Israel where the 'goyim'/'guim' were all those other nations.] In 18th-century Castilian Spain, 'gringo' meant any foreign, non-native speakers of Spanish. The Balkan states were the powder kegs of 20th-century world wars because different groups wanted to change national boundaries to reflect [or 'restore'] their separate ethnicities..."

DoL $100M crony socialist training grant plays into H-1B employers' bogus claims
"...1. While I am perfectly happy to see some American workers get federally funded training, the announcement plays directly into the hands of the big-league [abusers] in the H-1B program, who contend that there is a 'shortage' of 'IT' workers, and thus they must search the world for talent that is missing in the American labor market. The 'shortage' argument, of course, is a fig leaf designed to hide the real motives of most of those employers -- a desire to cut wages. 2. If DoL (and congress) really wanted to use H-1B fees to open up jobs for Americans, they could use a modest $20M or so to hire (and train and supervise) 100 investigators whose sole responsibility would be to expose H-1B hiring abuses, take the H-1B slots from the employers, and send large numbers of H-1B workers back to their homelands. (I figure that for $200K a year you ought to be able to pay the wages and benefits for one investigator, and to train and supervise him or her, and cover travel expenses.)... Whereas the H-1B program, for instance, does permanent damage to hundreds of thousands of American careers, the [propagandists] have managed to use the misleading word 'temporary' twice in a single sentence..."

"While Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are battling in their final round in the Democratic primaries and Donald Trump is arguing that Clinton should be in prison for failing to safeguard state secrets while she was secretary of state, the same FBI that is diligently investigating her is quietly and perniciously seeking to cut more holes in the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. That amendment -- which requires the government to obtain a search warrant issued by a judge based upon some evidence of criminal wrong-doing, called probable cause, before the government can search persons, houses, papers or effects -- is the linch-pin of the right to privacy, famously referred to by justice Louis Brandeis as the right to be let alone. The Fourth Amendment has a painful yet unambiguous history. The essence of that history is the well-documented and nearly universal Colonial revulsion to the British use of general warrants. General warrants, which were usually issued in secret in London, permitted British soldiers and agents in America to search wherever they wished and seize whatever they found. General warrants were not based upon any individualized suspicion, much less any probable cause..."

Bilderbergers fear Brexit could reverse 70 years of effort at consolidation and concentration of power, suppression of smaller polities
"...The organization began with a 1954 meeting at Holland’s Hotel de Bilderberg. The goal was to curb socialist anti-Americanism by promoting 'Atlanticism' that would to foster political, economic, and defense cooperation between the USA and Western Europe. The Bilderberg Group set out to 'bolster a consensus around free market Western capitalism and its interests around the globe'. The group succeeded beyond their wildest imagination with the 1989 implosion of the Soviet Union, the 1991 dismantling of the Warsaw Pact, and the opening of Western trade with communist China. But rather than declaring victory and going out of business, the Bilderbergs simply began pushing globalized trade and interventions. They supported the 1992 passage of the 'Maastricht Treaty' that rolled 28 nations and 508M people into the European Union that featured unimpeded movement of people and products. They also encouraged the global expansion of NATO's missions. The Bilderbergs championed the rise of globalism through the 1994 formation of the 123-nation World Trade Organization that drastically reduced tariffs and internationalized trade dispute resolution. This pro-commerce environment helped world trade increase 10-fold between 1980 and 2007, propelling economic growth in [Red China], South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore...

UK is full of EU criminals but cannot deport them under current treaties
"...The Chair of the Committee and Labour MP, Keth Vaz commented: 'The public would expect our membership of the European Union to make it easier to deport European offenders, but this is clearly not the case, and we continue to keep thousands of these criminals at great and unnecessary expense. These failures are undermining confidence in the UK's immigration system and in the UK's EU membership.'..."

no statistics and no facts: the perfect vacuum for manipulating immigration policies
"Center for Immigration Studies executive-director Mark Krikorian has written a piece for National Review titled 'No Facts, Please -- We're Making Immigration Policy' in which he discusses the gaping vacuum that exists where immigration statistics are concerned. His article notes how the lack of verifiable statistics has become one of the tricks by which proponents of various programs, or indeed of large immigration numbers generally, manage to gull the public by making absurd claims that can't be refuted... because of the absence of those self-same statistics. It's a game that has also been played exceptionally well by the [Obummer regime]: Remember the infamous phrase from former Immigration and Customs Enforcement director John Morton that he didn't 'cook the books' even as his top boss, [Obummer], was saying that the yearly USAICE apprehension stats were 'a little deceptive'? (Of course that, too, was a lie, albeit one of category, because the apprehension statistics were much more than a little deceptive.) One of the other areas where the [Obummer regime] has shown its sleight of hand to make the rabbit disappear is in benefits adjudication. The year-books of each fiscal year used to show not just the number of approvals, but also the number of denials. No longer. The [Obummer regime] recognized early on that those figures would clearly be a flash-point for both sides of the immigration policy chasm, leaing to charges of both 'too many denials' and 'not nearly enough denials in this giveaway program'. Solution? Dump the denial statistics. They're no longer to be found..."

emigration note: the 2-way movements of college/university students
"Today, look at the international movements of college-age people, as they arrive in the United States and as they leave. Most of the international movement of college students (on nearly a 3-to-1 basis) is from over-seas to our universities. The bottom line of the table below shows a population of some 886,052 foreign students here in the USA in the 2013-2014 academic year, while there were 304,467 American students overseas. (Both of these figures are from the Institute for International Education in New York; an entity that follows, and encourages, such migration.)... The numbers shown tend to overstate the significance of the emigration of USA students; many of the 304,467 are going over-seas rather briefly -- in the popular junior year abroad scheme -- while most of the foreign students are here for much longer periods, many seeking an USA college degree, something that has prestige, particularly in Asia. The flow to the USA is dominated by people from Asia, while the flow from the USA is largely to Western Europe..."

median, average USA family today has less income than when Obummer took office
"What's the most important economic statistic to gauge a society's prosperity? I often use per-capita economic output when comparing nations. But for ordinary people, what probably matters most is household income. And if you look at the median household income numbers for the USA, Obamanomics is a failure. According to the census bureau's latest numbers, the average family today has less income (after adjusting for inflation) than when [Obummer] took office. In an amazing feat of chutzpah, however, the president is actually arguing that he's done a good job with the economy. His main talking point is that the unemployment rate is down to 4.7%..."

Israel's true diplomatic and strategic position revealed for world to see
"...all the confab served to do was show how irrational and self-destructive France -- and Western Europe -- has become. Neither Israeli nor Palestinian representatives were present at the conference which aimed to dictate Israel's 'final' borders... The French planned their event before the mobs in Ramallah, Hebron, Jerusalem and Gaza publicly celebrated the cold-blooded massacre of Israeli diners at Tel Aviv's Sarona Market on Wednesday night. But the latest massacre wasn't necessary to show the absurdity of France's plan to defeat jihad by empowering jihadists at Israel's expense. After all, Israel surrendered Gaza=Palestine to the Palestinians 11 years ago..."

Carmel massacre] to Mistressgate to IRSgate to Whitewater to Vince Fostergate. But the all-time winner of this indoor record for scandals was Chinagate, where the Clintons and the DNC conspired to illegally solicit and accept money from the Communist Chinese government, all in exchange for favors compromising USA national security [among other things, brushing off the transfer of missile guidance components]. The Clintons, through Commerce Department secretary Ron Brown, were also selling seats on trade missions, including to [Red China], in exchange for campaign cash...

"In 1846, Isaac Mayer Wise sailed from Bremen to New York in 63 days; 50 years later [c. 1896] the trip took 9 days, and 3,200 offices of the Hamburg-Amerika line stood open to help someone already in America book passage for relatives and friends. Indeed, the United States Immigration Commission noted that between 1908 and 1910, 58% of the 'Hebrew' immigrants had pre-paid tickets from relatives in the United States." --- Marc Lee Raphael 2003 _Judaism in America_ pg52

"Subtly or crudely, non-judgmentalism often serves as a mask for what can only be called judgmentalism of another and much worse kind. Summoning us to some all-embracing indulgenc eof the views of others, however wrong or evil, it encourages us, subtly or crudely, to deprecate the good when it happens to be ours -- our own values, our own instincts, our own convictions, our own civilization. To put it another way, the refusal to distinguish good from evil is often joined wiht the doctrine that one society -- the USA, or the West -- is eil, or at the very least that it is to be presumed to be evil until proved otherwise." --- William John Bennett 2002 _Why We Fight: Moral Clarity and the War on Terrorism_ pg55

"1775-03-23... [Patrick Henry] had heard enough. He rose to defend his motion by delivering a sermon on 'the illusions of hope'. He conceded that it was natural to 'shut our eyes against painful truth' but ured that 'wise men engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty' not 'be of the number of those, who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation'. He was willing to face the truth, however anguished, and, knowing the worst, make provision or it. Instead of the illusion of hope, [Patrick Henry] urged the convention to guide itself by 'the lamp of experience'. Calmly and solemnly he reviewed the course of the dispute with Great Britain and condemned the rising tone of violence and arrogance with which the colonial petitions and remonstrances had been greeted. Now a 'martial array' was dispatched to force them into submission. After all this, [Patrick Henry] said, 'we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation... in vain'. 'There is no longer any room for hope.', [Patrick Henry] said. 'If we wish to be free, we must fight! -- I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts, is all that is left us.'" --- Henry Mayer 1986 _A Son of Thunder: Patrick Henry and the American Republic_ pg244 (citing James Parker 1775-04-06 to Charles Steuart; Wiliam Wirt & St. Georg Tucker in William Wirt Henry 1891 _Patrick Henry: Life Correspondence, and Speeches_ vol1 pp261-270; Edmund Randolph & Arthur H.
