corrupt "queen of the hill" scam to ram through mass amnesties of NIGHTMARE illegal aliens, move further away from visa/immigration reform, is "a really futile and stupid gesture"; the "Animal House" approach to legislation... the USA deserves far better negotiations than this

HR4760Bob Goodlatte (R-VA-6)"Securing USA's Future" (SAFA): very slightly restricts family unification chain-immigration while maintaining vastly excessive numbers; eliminate diversity visa lottery; vastly expands already extremely excessive guest-work visas for cheap, young, pliant low-skilled labor; still allows waiver of interviews of visa applicants; implicit polygraph of DHS employees but not visa applicants; zero reform of H-1B, L-1
HR4796Will Hurd (R-TX-23)massive blanket amnesty for NIGHTMARE illegal aliens; let states determine legality of residency for tuition & fee & subsidy purposes; delay fencing/walling borders; re-define border security to mean non-security, grants to states; add a trifling number of immigration judges and USA-tax-victim-subsidized immigration lawyers for illegal alines; indoctrination of immigration judges and appeals board members to make sure the criminal illegal alien always wins; subsidies to Latin America

  "In 1748 March colonel William Fairfax invited the 16-year-old [George Washington] to accompany his own 24-year-old son (and assistant agent) George William on a Spring-time expedition to survey tracts in the northern Shenandoah valley [some 18 years after van Swearingen, Yost Hite/Heydt and associates had been granted and moved into the area]. This journey, on which Washington assisted a more experienced surveyor, afforded him 2 important opportunities. The first and most immediately important was the chance to prove himself trustworthy and competent within sight of a patron whose support he would needif he were to rise in the world. Second, his month-long trip beyond the Blue Ridge allowed him to glimpse a western world that fired his imagination and that soon became the focus of his dreams. George sufficiently demonstrated his skills as a surveyor that George William Fairfax commended him to his father, who in turn began to use young Washington's services extensively. In 1749 [Thomas lord Fairfax] saw to it that Washington was appointed as county surveyor in the new county of Culpeper at the foot of the Blue Ridge, even though he was only 17. It was George's first public office and the first step on his long, determined climb to the top of the Virginia elite. He worked hard for his patrons: by the Spring of 1751 he had run nearly 200 surveys on proprietary lands West of the Blue Ridge." --- Fred Anderson & Andrew Cayton 2005 _The Dominion of War: Empire and Liberty in North America 1500-2000_ pg111

  "In the 1980s, neuro-psychologist Byron Rourke began exploring the pattern of dificulties associated with abnormalities in the right hemisphere, and he found a cluster of deficits that affected visual-spatial processing, fine-motor skills, and «social skills».   As might be expected, left-sided motor skills are often proportionally more impaired.   These children have particular difficulties with prosody -- the non-verbal aspects of language (tone of voice, posture, gesture and facial expression).   Although they can often use words correctly, they seem to miss the «music» of the language.   Irony, deception, humor, and mixed messages elude them (as is the case with Asperger's Disorder [Syndrome])." --- James T. Webb, Edward R. Amend, Nadia E. Webb, Jean Goerss, Paul Beljan, F. Richard Olenchak & Ronald E. Fox 2006 _MisDiagnosis and Dual Diagnoses of Gifted Children and Adults: ADHD, BiPolar, OCD, Asperger's, Depression, and Other "DisOrders"_ pp149-150 (citing Sally E.
