Hire Vets (Or Any American!); No to Aliens

As incredible as it is, the federal government prefers that recently arrived immigrants (and 8 million illegal aliens in non-farm jobs) be first in line for employment ahead of returning war veterans.

No formal Capitol Hill announcement to that effect has been issued. But here are the facts: every month, about 100,000 new legal . . . → Read More: Hire Vets (Or Any American!); No to Aliens

Regardless of American Worker Displacement, Immigration Grinds On

Getting a consensus on how many millions of Americans are looking for work is tough. But one thing is certain: No matter how the White House favorably spins the April Bureau of Labor Statistics jobs report (unemployment down to 8.1 percent from last month’s 8.2), the net result can’t be obscured.

Reports of slowing illegal immigration to U.S. from Mexico

One thing to keep in mind is that Mexico is just ONE country, albeit the most important source country by far for a number of decades.  Because of its very different demographic situation (continuing explosive population growth), Central America, just to cite one nearby region, will continue to send large numbers of illegal migrants . . . → Read More: Reports of slowing illegal immigration to U.S. from Mexico

In Anticipation of a Supreme Court Decision Supporting S.B. 1070, the Other Side Hangs Crepe

According to Capitol Hill insiders, including a Washington, D.C.-based lawyer present at the Supreme Court oral arguments, the Obama administration and its allies are psychologically preparing for a major defeat in the Arizona S.B. 1070. The decision will be handed down in June.

ICE HSI and PGPD arrest Maryland man wanted for 30-year-old murder in Texas

The primary goals of our nation’s immigration laws can be distilled down into six words:  “Save American lives and American jobs.”

Incredibly, there is a long list of politicians and high ranking government officials on all levels of our government who actually oppose the effective enforcement of those laws and are willing to trivialize . . . → Read More: ICE HSI and PGPD arrest Maryland man wanted for 30-year-old murder in Texas

Family of DUI homicide victim: Feds failed to deport illegal-immigrant killer

The United States has traditionally served as a role model for countries around the world for a number of reasons.  The most important is that it has been described as being a “Country of laws and not a country of men.”  Furthermore, our system of justice supposedly strives to be totally and utterly unbiased . . . → Read More: Family of DUI homicide victim: Feds failed to deport illegal-immigrant killer

Another California Dubious Distinction: Of Five Cities with Nation’s Highest Unemployment, the Golden State Has Four

Unemployment rates vary widely from state to state and, within those states, from city to city. In Pittsburgh, my home town, unemployment is 7.3 percent, about a full point below the 8.2 percent national average. Throughout Pennsylvania, unemployment is at its lowest since 2009, 7.5 percent.
