The offenses are impeachable and should be the first article now due to his conduct on this issue -- all to force a political deal for his ma$ters in what is blatant agenda-pushing manipulation in preparation for a national emergency and martial law. Instead all we get are talks of a lawsuit that won't go anywhere, and the game continues.
My opposition has nothing to with the racism label that is always applied, but is purely based on economics, cla$$, and the LAW (remember that?).
"Obama pushes quick action on immigration; Makes appeal at citizenship event" by Darlene Superville | Associated Press July 05, 2014
WASHINGTON — Celebrating the ethnic diversity of America, President Obama said more than two dozen foreign-born service members who became US citizens at the White House on the Fourth of July are vivid reminders that welcoming immigrants ‘‘is central to our way of life.’’
He pleaded anew for new immigration policies, saying the vast range of backgrounds and experiences that has made America a melting pot for more than 200 years also makes the country stronger. He argued that the system must be retooled for the United States to remain the greatest nation on earth.
Before going any further I just want to say how tired I am of the melting pot mythology I was taught and all the other conventional myths spewed at us every day by these $elf-$erving a$$holes.
‘‘The basic idea of welcoming immigrants to our shores is central to our way of life; it is in our DNA,’’ Obama said after the 25 service members representing 15 countries raised their right hands and pledged allegiance to the United States.
‘‘From all these different strands, we make something new here in America. And that’s why, if we want to keep attracting the best and brightest from beyond our borders, we’re going to have to fix our immigration system, which is broken,’’ he said. ‘‘Pass common-sense immigration reform.”
We have already had two rounds of amnesty in 1965 and 1986 and all they did was produce more illegals.
Besides, the best and brightest already get work visas to come so this about something else.
The immigration issue is earning renewed attention because of the influx of tens of thousands of unaccompanied children from Central America.
All getting train-tracked to the border, huh?
Btw, I am always suspicious of any issue that receives renewed attention in my agenda-pushing paper, sorry.
Under US law, they must be returned to their home countries, angering immigration advocates who already take issue with Obama’s enforcement of deportations. They want Obama to allow the children to stay.
At the same time, Obama blames House Republicans for delaying action on legislation covering the millions already living in the US illegally. A comprehensive measure the Senate passed last summer has been blocked by House leaders, who also have done little to advance their own immigration proposals.
Obama said earlier this week that, as a result of inaction on Capitol Hill, he will pursue non-legislative ways he can adjust US immigration policy on his own. He scheduled a trip to Texas next week, mostly to raise money for Democratic candidates, but he plans not to visit the border.
Unreal!
He's going to contribute to the global warming problem so he can get a public relations photo-op on the border and raise money for the fall elections.
‘‘I’m going to keep doing everything I can to keep making our immigration system smarter and more efficient,’’ Obama said Friday.
Even if it means breaking the laws he was sworn to uphold.
Across the country, more than 100 demonstrators, most of whom support immigrants, gathered again Friday outside a US Border Patrol station in Murrieta, Calif., where the agency intends to process some of the immigrants who have flooded the Texas border with Mexico.
Earlier this week a crowd of protesters blocked buses carrying women and children migrants who were flown in from overwhelmed Texas facilities. The Border Patrol had to take the migrants elsewhere.
Rumors had swirled among anti-immigration activists that the agency would try again to bus in some of the immigrants who have flooded across the US-Mexico border.
Law enforcement officers separated the two sides, leaving enough space for a bus to drive into the station. Instead, by late Friday afternoon, there were only dueling anti- and pro-immigration rallies.
Looking very much like the administration is trying to lay the groundwork for social unrest to justify a national emergency and martial law.
Btw, because of all this, I am so much more sensitive to skin color. Never thought of it before, but the first thing in my head now when I see a person of color is "illegal immigrant?"
The crowd of 200 outside the station in Murrieta waved signs and sometimes shouted at each other. One banner read: ‘‘Proud legal American. It doesn’t work any other way.’’ Another countered: ‘‘Against illegal immigration? Great! Go back to Europe!’’

"Small point of clarification. What happened in this land 200 years ago was not "illegal immigration." It was invasion and conquest. And if the people in Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Nicaragua, etc. et. al. want to equate what they are doing today with what Europe did 200 years ago, then you all just go ahead, declare war, and try invading the United States and see what happens.
It is NOT an inalienable right to do to an illegal thing. There is a process by which anyone can come to the United States and become a legal citizen and to those who choose that path, welcome and I hope life in the United States meets your expectations.
But the "immigration reformers" pushing for amnesty for illegals are basically saying that everyone should leave the front door to their house open so that anyone who comes along may come in and take what they want. That is, of course, nonsense. Your house has a door so that you can choose who comes in. Nations have borders so that they can choose who comes in.
There are many illnesses now reported to be carried by the illegals pouring across the border. US Border Patrol agents are being infected with scabies. Two schools in California where illegals have been sent are now showing clusters of tuberculosis. Swine flu has also been found in the immigrants. Worse, as of today, Bolivia, source for many of the illegals now entering the US, is reporting an outbreak of Bubonic Plague along the border with Peru (also a source for many illegals entering the US).
Those who seek to erase the immigration laws of the United States run the risk of turning the entire country into a Jim Jones style suicide cult!
We keep hearing that the illegals are fleeing oppressive government in their own lands. Why they would think life will be any better here is a mystery as the US now ranks 36th on the global freedom scale, pretty much at the bottom of all industrialized nations.
But let us look at history for how to deal with a repressive regime.
When the British discovered that King Charles 1 had hired Scottish troops to oppress the British people, the British didn't swim across the English Channel to France and say "Let us in! Let us in!" They arrested the King and cut off his head! Things got a lot better in their own nation after that!
When the French living under King Louise XVI realized their were being systematically looted by the French monarchy, they didn't swim across the English Channel to Britain and say "Let us in! Let us in!" They arrested the King and sent him and his money-junky friends to the guillotine! Things got a lot better in their own nation after that!
When the Italian people realized that Benito Mussolini had gotten them into a war on the side that was going to lose, the Italians didn't flock to the border of Austria and say "Let us in! Let us in!" They arrested Mussolini and shot him! Things got a lot better in their own nation after that!
When the Romanians lived under a repressive regime, they didn't flock to the border with Serbia and scream "Let us in! Let us in!" They took responsibility for the future of their nation, and machine-gunned Ceausescu live on Romanian National TV.
We the people of the United States are not responsible to make the lives of Bolivians, Nicaraguans, Peruvians, Brazilians, etc. better. We have plenty of our own problems. Our current government doesn't even want to take care of us as it is.
So, instead of flocking to our borders and screaming "Let us in! Let us in", maybe you need to man-up, show some courage, and fix your own problems." -- whatreallyhappened
The problem is the economic $y$tem itself which drives immigrants off their lands and into cities looking for work and then across borders.
Oddly, the ones who set up the $y$tem by which they themselves benefit are posing as the saviors and defenders of illegal immigrants.
‘‘This is a way of making our voices heard,’’ said Steve Prime, a resident of nearby Lake Elsinore. ‘‘The government’s main job is to secure our borders and protect us — and they’re doing neither.’’
Immigration supporters said migrating to survive is not a crime.
‘‘We’re celebrating the 4th of July and what a melting pot America is,’’ said Raquel Alvarado, a high school history teacher and Murrieta resident who chalked up the fear of migrants in the city of roughly 106,000 to discrimination.
‘‘They don’t want to have their kids share the same classroom,’’ she said.
Has nothing to do with it; has to do with the world illegal and the cost to taxpayers.
Earlier this week, federal authorities had hoped to process immigrants at the station in Murrieta, about 55 miles north of downtown San Diego.
The city’s mayor, Alan Long, became a hero to those seeking stronger immigration policies with his criticism of the federal government’s efforts to handle the influx of thousands of immigrants, many of them mothers and children. However, Murrieta officials later tried to clarify Long’s comments, saying he was only asserting that the local Border Patrol station was not an appropriate location to process the migrants and was encouraging residents to contact their federal representatives.
In a July 3 statement, City Manager Rick Dudley expressed regret that the busloads of women and children had been forced to turn around.
The Feds threatened them in $ome way.
Some local leaders said the outrage among some area residents was justified, given the already stressed social services infrastructure and the stagnant regional economy.
But that's racism!
At the White House on Friday evening, Obama and his wife, Michelle, welcomed a larger group of service members, including the new citizens, to an all-American barbecue on the South Lawn, along with prime seating for the fireworks on the National Mall.
Yeah, you kids who came here see what you will be doing in a few years?
Why do you think they are housing you on military bases, and what do you mean that was not in the brochure?
‘‘Together, all of you remind us that America is and always has been a nation of immigrants,’’ Obama told those at the naturalization ceremony.
After the conquering invaders eliminated the native population in what has the be one of the history's worst Holocausts™.
The Fourth also marked Malia Obama’s 16th birthday.

"Obama plans new steps to revamp immigration" by Erica Werner and Jim Kuhnhenn | Associated Press July 01, 2014
WASHINGTON — Conceding defeat on a top domestic priority, President Obama blamed a Republican ‘‘year of obstruction’’ for the demise of sweeping immigration legislation on Monday and said he would take new steps without Congress to fix as much of the system as he can on his own.
‘‘The only thing I can’t do is stand by and do nothing,’’ the president said. But he gave few hints about what steps he might take by executive action.
Can anyone deny this is a dictatorship at this point?
Even as he blamed House Republicans for frustrating him on immigration, Obama asked Congress for more money and additional authority to deal with the unexpected crisis of a surge of unaccompanied Central American youths arriving by the thousands at the Southern border.
Contrived crisis to force agenda through.
Obama wants flexibility to speed the youths’ deportations and $2 billion in new money to hire more immigration judges and open more detention facilities, requests that got a cool reception from congressional Republicans and angered advocates.
Got a cool reception from me, too.
The twin announcements came as the administration confronted the tricky politics of immigration in a midterm election year with Democratic control of the Senate in jeopardy.
I think it is gone in a legitimate election, and may well be being fixed that way.
The fast-developing humanitarian disaster on the border has provoked calls for a crackdown at the same moment that immigration advocates are demanding Obama loosen deportation rules in the face of congressional inaction.
Obama’s announcement came almost a year to the day after the Senate passed a historic immigration bill that would have spent billions to secure the border and offered a path to citizenship for many of the 11.5 million people now here illegally.
Despite the efforts of an extraordinary coalition of businesses, unions, religious leaders, law enforcement officials and others, the GOP-led House never acted.
It's a fringe issue, but thank God for a Republican House. They are the only check right now, as limited as that is.
‘‘Our country and our economy would be stronger today if House Republicans had allowed a simple yes-or-no vote on this bill or, for that matter, any bill,’’ Obama said in the Rose Garden. ‘‘They’d be following the will of the majority of the American people, who support reform. And instead they’ve proven again and again that they’re unwilling to stand up to the tea party in order to do what’s best for the country.’’
When he says country he means Wall Street and the rich elite he takes orders from.
Obama said that House Speaker John Boehner, Republican of Ohio, informed him last week that the House would not be taking up immigration legislation this year.
But keep an eye out for a piecemeal bill that advances work visas for cheap foreign imports.
A growing number of advocates and congressional Democrats already have declared immigration dead, the victim, in part, of internal GOP politics, with the most conservative lawmakers resisting the calls of party leaders to back action and revive the GOP’s standing with Latino voters.
The Central American migrant surge, along with the surprise defeat of House majority leader Eric Cantor at the hands of an upstart candidate from the right who accused him of backing ‘‘amnesty,’’ helped kill whatever chances remain.
See: Cantoring Through Politics
Boehner blamed Obama for the outcome.
‘‘I told the president what I have been telling him for months: The American people and their elected officials don’t trust him to enforce the law as written. Until that changes, it is going to be difficult to make progress on this issue,’’ he said. Boehner called Obama’s plan to go it alone ‘‘sad and disappointing.’’
You can say that again. That is not to say Repuglicans are the answer to the $hit-$how fooley.
Obama directed Homeland Security Department Secretary Jeh Johnson and Attorney General Eric Holder to present him by the end of the summer with steps he can take without congressional approval.
Sounds criminal to me.
For now the White House said he would refocus resources from the interior of the country to the border, a move that would effectively further reduce the number of deportations in the country’s interior by stressing enforcement action on individuals who are either recent unlawful border crossers or who present a national security threat, public safety, or border security threat.
Can't hold them longer than six months though, even though they "had been convicted of a crime, but who had been living free since the crime occurred." How illegals are entitled to due process is beyond me, especially when the terrorist patsies don't get it.
Of course, Globe did a whole series on how murderers and rapists were let out to commit further crimes. Won an award for it and everything, but it doesn't seem to be much of a concern to the propaganda pre$$ our courts.
Johnson made his third visit Monday in the last six weeks to the Border Patrol’s McCallen station in southernmost Texas, touring the location with Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell. He said 150 more agents are being sent to the region to help deal with the surge.
Johnson has been weighing various additional steps to refocus deportation priorities on people with more serious criminal records, something the administration has already tried to do with mixed results.
We were told they were already doing this for years, but whatever.
But advocates are pushing Obama for much more sweeping changes that would shield millions of immigrants now here illegally from deportation by expanding a two-year-old program that granted work permits to certain immigrants brought illegally to the United States as children.
It’s not clear if the administration will take such steps, but in a meeting with advocates prior to his announcement Monday Obama pledged to take ‘‘aggressive’’ steps, according to three people who attended the private meeting.
It will have to be after the election, unless he wants to doom the Democrats. They can't even get a driver's license bill through Massachusetts.
--more--"
Btw, there is another aspect I would like to raise here: I can't imagine the people who are citizens the legal way and followed the rules can be approving of these scofflaws being granted amnesty. The propaganda pre$$, for all its preaching about diversity, tends to portray all immigrants as a monolithic block that is in favor of "reform," no questions asked.
Now the sheriffs are granting independence:
"Sheriffs balk at holding illegal immigrants" by Jennifer Medina | New York Times July 06, 2014
LOS ANGELES — Sheriffs across the nation are openly rejecting the Obama administration policy of holding noncitizens who are accused or convicted of crimes for extra time, which for years has enabled the federal government to begin deportation proceedings for thousands of immigrants.
The local decisions are limiting the Obama administration’s ability to enforce immigration laws and could significantly decrease the number of immigrants deported each year.
This is flying in the face of what I'm told they are doing above.
WTF, NYT?
The phenomenon started this spring, after a federal judge in Oregon ruled that a sheriff had violated an immigrant woman’s civil rights by holding her in the county jail solely at the request of federal agents.
Almost immediately, sheriffs across the state started refusing to honor the policy, which asks them to hold undocumented inmates without probable cause for a criminal violation, a process known as a detainer.
Now, dozens of sheriffs are doing the same: releasing noncitizen offenders who have served their time rather than holding them longer on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security.
What is taking DHS so long, and why is their no concern of terrorists coming over the border?
The immigration detainers were introduced nearly a decade ago, but the use of them increased when President Obama took office, in large part to emphasize the kind of enforcement efforts the administration called its priority: capturing criminals who were living here illegally and likely to commit more crimes.
In some places, including Massachusetts, state officials resisted almost immediately, seeing the policy as a dragnet that would encourage racial profiling and unfairly lead to deportation of people who had not committed major crimes.
But MINOR crimes are OKAY?
Btw, Boston is a sanctuary city, which is why there is so much gang violence and other ills.
As long as the wealthy elite sections are in good shape, who cares?
Mayor Martin J. Walsh of Boston has decided that police should not detain illegal immigrants for possible deportation unless they were convicted of a serious crime.
The most recent wave of resistance is driven by sheriffs who are wary of being sued.
A-HA! Now we get to the CRUX of the matter!
For years, the administration has asked sheriffs to hold the detainees for up to 48 hours after they were scheduled for release, giving Immigration and Customs Enforcement extra time to investigate whether they could be deported for immigration violations.
But the sheriffs who are now resisting — many of them in California, and some in Minnesota, Kansas, and Washington — say the court ruling in Oregon forces their hand, because they cannot risk doing something a US magistrate judge has found unconstitutional.
“When a judge says something is in violation of the Fourth Amendment, I am not going to just keep doing it,” said Sheriff William Gore of San Diego.
Why not? Federal government would.
The decision, said Gore, has nothing to do with his own position on immigration, but rather with the predicament that Washington seems to have left him with.“We need them to figure this out,” he said. “They can’t just rely on us to do it for them.”
I hate to say it, but on agenda-pushing purpose!
The Obama administration expanded the detainer program as a way to strengthen immigration enforcement and create a uniform policy for local police and sheriffs’ departments.
The backlash is creating the kind of patchwork system the policy was meant to avoid. Last month, California’s attorney general, Kamala D. Harris, published an advisory memo telling law enforcement officials that departments that abide by the detainer requests could be vulnerable to lawsuits.
The local changes are likely to increase pressure on Obama, who is already facing criticism from both sides of the immigration debate. Amid the influx of Central American immigrants along the Texas border, Republicans in Congress are increasingly lashing out against what they see as lax enforcement, even as immigration reform advocates intensify their efforts to persuade the administration to ease deportations.
They should be impeaching him for so many reasons.

Given all we have seen, readers, I can not help but wonder if the boy that has become a symbol for the perils faced by a flood of unaccompanied children from Central America who cross illegally into the United States is nothing but another staged and scripted fake or hoax -- same as the controlled opposition protests:
"Immigration activists organized protests in cities across the country on Saturday demanding an overhaul of federal immigration laws.... The demonstrators — parents walking with children or pushing along strollers, teenagers, and gray-haired men and women — recalled the unkept promises of Republicans to act on immigration after President Obama commanded a convincing majority of Hispanic voters in the last election. But in the eyes of some participants, Obama’s efforts have also fallen short. Carlos Arredondo, an activist who gained national recognition after being photographed helping victims of the Boston Marathon bombing, marched with his wife, Melida. Arredondo, a US citizen who emigrated from Costa Rica, said they were there for separated families and children crossing the border. “We know what it’s like to be an immigrant,” he said. “We need a lot of these people.”
And after he was good enough to invite that controlled-opposition fraud to the State-of-the-Union!
Certain immigrants who are not as welcomed:
"Muslim immigration officer’s bias suit will proceed" by Maria Sacchetti | Globe Staff May 29, 2014
A federal appeals court has cleared the way for a Muslim immigration officer’s workplace discrimination lawsuit to go to trial, saying the officer showed “telling evidence” of unfair practices at US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Boston.
A federal appeals court has cleared the way for a Muslim immigration officer’s workplace discrimination lawsuit to go to trial, saying the officer showed “telling evidence” of unfair practices at US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Boston.
The US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston ruled last week that Tahar Ahmed and his supervisors should present their opposing sides to a jury. The action overturned a decision by a lower court judge, who said Ahmed did not provide enough evidence of discrimination to move forward.
Ahmed said in court records that he was passed over for a promotion to deportation officer in favor of three less qualified white men because he is Muslim, Arab, and a native of Algeria. ICE supervisors denied there was any discrimination and said they promoted the others because they were better qualified for the job.
The ruling did not resolve whether discrimination occurred, but the three-judge appeals panel said that decision was “properly the task of a jury.”
Ahmed’s lawyer, Ozell Hudson Jr., said the preliminary ruling marked a “powerful statement” that Ahmed had enough evidence to go to trial. “That is a tremendous obstacle,” said Hudson, a civil rights lawyer in Boston. “The court was saying here that there was a substantial amount of evidence.”
But the US attorney’s office said the appeals court said ICE also presented evidence that the agency did not discriminate against Ahmed, so the final outcome “could go either way.”
“Obviously, we’re disappointed with the decision,” said Rosemary Connolly, chief of the civil division at the US attorney’s office, which represents ICE in court. “Really, what the court said here is it’s pretty much a jump ball.”
The appeals court said Ahmed offered “telling evidence of a pattern of bypassing minorities for promotion in ICE’s Boston office.” From 2003 to 2011, the court said, the Boston office did not have a single black or Arab deportation officer.
I'll bet the agency is staffed with lots of Jews, though.
I'll bet the agency is staffed with lots of Jews, though.
“Most significantly, the record reveals a history of hiring and promotions that entirely excluded African-Americans and, perhaps, Muslims, from deportation officer positions in Boston,” the court said.
Ahmed filed the lawsuit in 2010, the year after he failed to get the promotion, despite his higher score on the qualification test and superior language skills, court records show. He speaks English and Arabic and had worked for ICE since 2003 in the Criminal Alien Program, where he identifies criminals for deportation.
The appeals court noted that Ahmed had “sparkling appraisals” of his work ethic and job performance. At least one competitor, the court said, was described as lazy by a superior.
But in court records, ICE said the three white men were more qualified to serve as deportation officers, who perform legal research and manage cases to carry out deportations. ICE said the men’s scores were close to Ahmed’s. Two supervisors had recommended them to the agency’s field office director at the time, Bruce Chadbourne, who made the final decision.
“These three individuals were chosen based on their education, experience, training, work product, and work history,” ICE’s lawyers said in court records.
Chadbourne, who retired in 2011, did not respond to phone and e-mail messages.
In court records, Chadbourne said that he did not know Ahmed’s race, religion, or country of origin. Chadbourne said he believed that Ahmed was Lebanese and African-American. Ahmed identified himself as “white, North African,” according to the court decision.
Chadbourne acknowledged in court records that no African-American had served as a deportation officer in Boston during his tenure, although he said he had recommended a black woman for a Hartford position and later promoted her to assistant field office director there. Chadbourne estimated that seven or eight Hispanic employees were deportation officers or supervisors during that time.
Federal lawyers also said rejection for ICE promotions is not unusual, pointing out in court records that Chadbourne himself had applied 25 times before he was selected as a deportation officer.

I guess all the court action and insecurity in the ranks is why the deportation hearings are behind.

"War crime suspect accused of bribery" Associated Press June 25, 2014
BURLINGTON, Vt. — A Vermont man charged with committing war crimes in his native Bosnia 21 years ago is also accused of trying to bribe alleged Bosnian witnesses.
Edin Sakoc, 54, ‘‘attempted to bribe witnesses through intermediaries for testimony favorable to the defendant,’’ prosecutors wrote in a motion filed in US District Court.
The Bosnian Muslim allegedly lied to immigration officials when he came to the United States as a refugee in 2001 and when he applied to become a US citizen in 2007 by denying he had committed any crimes in Bosnia.
Sakoc denies the charges.
Court filings say Sakoc raped a Serbian woman, aided in the killings of two elderly women the raped woman had been caring for, and burned the house where they were living.
Prosecutors and defense lawyers are expected to travel to Bosnia next month to interview witnesses to the rape and killings. The government has asked to postpone the trip while the bribe allegation is investigated.

NEXT DAY UPDATES:
"US faces tough hurdles in child migrant crisis; Legal, political obstacles abound as anger mounts" by Charles Babington | Associated Press July 07, 2014
WASHINGTON — The legal, humanitarian, and political constraints facing the Obama administration as it copes with thousands of Central American children entering the country illegally came into sharp focus Sunday as officials debated ways to address the problem.
All the hallmarks of an agenda-pushing campaign with the added benefit of distracting from so many scandals.
A George W. Bush-era law to address human trafficking prevents the government from returning Central American children to their home countries without taking them into custody and eventually through a deportation hearing. Minors from Mexico and Canada, by contrast, can be sent back across the border more easily.
It's like he never really left. In fact, in some ways things are worse. More drone strikes, more spying, Libya invaded and smashed, Ukraine replacing Georgia. And we are back in Iraq, too.
The administration says it wants more flexibility under the law.
He said he was doing an order.
But even if Congress agrees, the change might do little to ease the partisan quarreling and complex logistical and humanitarian challenges surrounding the issue.
Yeah, now that Obama has dumped them all across America.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Sunday the administration has dramatically sped up the processing of adults who enter the country illegally, and it is opening more detention facilities.
That thrills me with warmth. More detention facilities, more tyranny.
He acknowledged that the unaccompanied children from Central America, some 9,700 taken into custody in May alone, pose the most vexing problem.
To the point where it has sucked all the attention away from anything else right now.
All persons, regardless of age, face ‘‘a deportation proceeding’’ if they are caught entering the country illegally, Johnson said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.’’
The administration, he said, is ‘‘looking at ways to create additional options for dealing with the children in particular, consistent with our laws and our values.’’
Sounds good, but they are not doing that and I wonder what values is he really talking about?
According to my history texts I was taught, immigrants never had it easy, have always been discriminated against, and on and on. I guess it was better than eating branches in the home country, but the endless contradictions between the myths spewed and the reality has reached a breaking point brought on by betrayal.
And what laws and values? Torture? Aggressive and illegal wars based on lies leading to the mass-murder of millions?
Repeatedly pressed to say whether thousands of Central American children will be deported promptly, Johnson said, ‘‘we need to find more efficient, effective ways to turn this tide around generally, and we’ve already begun to do that.’’
After they initiated it they want to turn it back -- and already have?
This stuff is bordering on bullshit!
Several Republicans, and even a Democrat, said Sunday that the administration has reacted too slowly and cautiously to the crisis.
Uh-oh, defections in the ranks already!
More than 50,000 unaccompanied minors have been caught on the US-Mexico border this year. Most are from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, where a spike in violence and poverty are prompting parents to send their children on difficult and dangerous journeys north.
All part of U.S. policies via economics and drug war.
Their numbers have overwhelmed federal agencies. When 140 would-be immigrants, mostly mothers with children, were flown to Southern California to ease an overcrowded Texas facility, angry residents of Murrieta greeted the bus as it pulled into town, complaining that they were being asked to do more than their share.
‘‘This is a failure of diplomacy, it is a failure of leadership from the administration,’’ said Texas Governor Rick Perry, a candidate for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, who appeared on ABC’s ‘‘This Week.’’
Representative Henry Cuellar, a Texas Democrat, said the administration ‘‘is one step behind’’ a major dilemma that was foreseeable. The number of children coming from Central America without adults has been rising dramatically for several years.
Maybe they let it happen on purpose.
President Obama is asking Congress for more money and authority to send the children home, even as he also seeks ways to allow millions of other people already living in the United States illegally to stay.
I'm so confused!
The Bush-era law requires unaccompanied children to be handed over to the Department of Health and Human Services for care and housing.
Back to him again.
Unlike Mexican or Canadian children, the Central Americans must be taken into custody and given a deportation hearing before they can be returned to their home countries.
A possible change to the Bush-era law could give Border Patrol agents more leeway in handling these children.
Unaccompanied Central American children generally are being released to relatives already in the United States. Mothers with their children often are released with a notice to appear later in immigration court. Meanwhile, word of seemingly successful border crossings reaches their home countries, encouraging others to try.
I was told that was not part of it at all, and to claim such was racist!
Johnson said the US government is trying to send the message that all persons who enter the country illegally will face deportation proceedings eventually. In Central America, he said, ‘‘the criminal smuggling organizations are putting out a lot of disinformation about supposed free passes into this country’’ that will expire soon.
You know something? I -- and the whole world, I think -- am tired of the U.S. government sending messages.
Johnson and others are warning of the dangers that immigrants, and especially children, face when they try to reach the United States on their own.
Want me to cut open my chest so you can pull on those heart strings?
As for the hunger and poverty of legal citizens and children of this country? You get austerity and a cut in food stamps to soothe that growling stomach.
Alan Long, mayor of Murrieta, Calif., denounced the nation’s current immigration laws and practices.
Central Americans think ‘‘they’re coming to a better place, but on that journey one-third of the females — some younger, in their teens — are raped,’’ Long said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.’’
Seems outrageous and untrue, and that is likely the impression you are meant to be left with by the agenda-pusher; however, the reality here is not what was in the brochure. That is a fact.

"Backlash stirs in US against foreign worker visas" by Laura Wides-Munoz and Paul Wiseman | Associated Press July 07, 2014
NEW YORK — Kelly Parker was thrilled when she landed her dream job in 2012 providing tech support for Harley-Davidson’s Tomahawk plants in Wisconsin. The divorced mother of three hoped it was the beginning of a new career with the motorcycle company.
The dream didn’t last long. Parker contends she was laid off one year later after she trained her replacement, a newly arrived worker from India.
They don't do that!
Now she has joined a federal lawsuit alleging the global staffing firm that ran Harley-Davidson’s tech support discriminated against American workers — in part by replacing them with temporary workers from South Asia.

The firm, India-based Infosys Ltd., denies wrongdoing and contends, as many companies do, that it has faced a shortage of talent and specialized skill sets in the United States. Like other firms, Infosys wants Congress to allow even more of these temporary workers.
I'm $ick of the excu$es and the $cams.
But amid such calls for expanding the nation’s H-1B visa program, which handles these types of workers, there is growing pushback from Americans who argue the program has been hijacked by staffing companies that import cheaper, lower-level workers to replace more expensive US employees — or keep them from getting hired in the first place.
An H1-B hijacking?
‘‘It’s getting pretty frustrating when you can’t compete on salary for a skilled job,’’ said Rich Hajinlian, a veteran computer programmer from the Boston area. ‘‘You hear references all the time that these big companies ... can’t find skilled workers. I am a skilled worker.’’
Hajinlian, 56, who develops his own Web applications on the side, said he applied for a job in April through a headhunter and the potential client appeared interested, scheduling a longer interview. Then, said Hajinlian, the headhunter called back and said the client had gone with an H-1B worker whose annual salary was about $10,000 less.
‘‘I didn’t even get a chance to negotiate down,’’ he said.
Not only that, the foreign important is less likely to exercise independence and complain.
The H-1B program allows employers to temporarily hire workers in specialty occupations. The government issues up to 85,000 H-1B visas to businesses every year, and recipients can stay up to six years.
And that is just the H1-B program; there are twenty other programs just like it.
Although no one tracks exactly how many H-1B holders are in the United States, experts estimate there are at least 600,000 at any one time. Skilled guest workers can also come on other types of visas.
Amazing, isn't it? In an era and age where the NSA is scooping up all communications and movements. Also when you consider the pay records that must be filed for tax purposes.
But somehow, no one in authority knows.
An immigration bill passed in the US Senate last year would have increased the number of annually available H-1B visas to 180,000 while raising fees and increasing oversight, although language was removed that would have required all companies to consider qualified US workers before foreign workers are hired.
Why are we talking about "would have?" Is that news?
The House never acted on the measure.
At least two paragraphs and a sentence of filler where provided.
With immigration reform considered dead this year in Congress, President Obama last week declared he will use executive actions to address some changes. It is not known whether the H-1B program will be on the agenda.
That's when the impeachment rumblings again began.
Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg is among the high-profile executives pushing for more H-1Bs. The argument has long been that there aren’t enough qualified American workers to fill certain jobs, especially in science, engineering, and technology. Advocates also assert that some visa holders will stay and become entrepreneurs.
Then the fault also lies with the politically-correct indoctrination and inculcation centers known as schools for pushing global warming and gay dogma while neglecting true learning.
Critics say there is no across-the-board shortage of American tech workers and if there were, wages would be rising rapidly. Instead, wage gains for software developers have been modest, while wages have fallen for programmers.
Is it all becoming clear to you now?
The liberal Economic Policy Institute reported last year that only half of US college graduates in science, engineering, and technology found jobs in those fields and at least one third of IT jobs were going to foreign guest workers.
The top users of H-1B visas aren’t even tech companies such as Google and Facebook. Eight of the 10 biggest H1-B users last year were outsourcing firms that hire out thousands of mostly lower- and mid-level tech workers to corporate clients, according to an analysis of federal data by Ron Hira, an associate professor of public policy at Rochester Institute of Technology. The top 10 firms accounted for about a third of the H-1Bs allotted last year.
You can $ee what agenda is important in my new$paper, right?
The debate over whether foreign workers are taking jobs isn’t new, but for years it centered on lower-wage sectors, including agriculture and construction.
As if Americans don't want construction jobs! C'mon!
The high-skilled visas have thrust a new sector of American workers into the fray: the middle class.
What middle class? The sliver of a shred left?
Last month, three tech advocacy groups launched a labor boycott against Infosys, IBM, and the global staffing and consulting company ManpowerGroup, citing a ‘‘pattern of excluding US workers from job openings on US soil.’’
They say Manpower, for example, last year posted US job openings in India but not in the United States.
‘‘We have a shortage in the industry all right — a shortage of fair and ethical recruiting and hiring,’’ said Donna Conroy, director of Bright Future Jobs, a group of tech professionals fighting to end what it calls ‘‘discriminatory hiring that is blocking us . . . from competing for jobs we are qualified to do.’’
‘‘US workers should have the freedom to compete first for job openings,’’ Conroy said. Don't listen to these people.
Go back and believe the government and tho$e they are working for. Everything is all right, everything is fine, the wealth is flowing to the 1%!
Infosys spokesman Paul de Lara responded that the firm encourages ‘‘diversity recruitment,’’ while spokesman Doug Shelton said IBM considers all qualified candidates ‘‘without regard to citizenship and immigration status.’’ Manpower issued a statement saying it ‘‘adopts the highest ethical standards and complies with all applicable laws and regulations when hiring individuals.’’
Much of the backlash against the H-1B and other visa programs can be traced to whistle-blower Jay Palmer, a former Infosys employee.
Troublemaker! Ruining the party for everyone! Prosecute!!!!
In 2011, Palmer supplied federal investigators with information that helped lead to Infosys paying a record $34 million settlement last year.
PFFFFFT!
No wonder government does nothing; they are IN ON IT!
Prosecutors had accused the company of circumventing the law by bringing in lower-paid workers on short-term executive business visas instead of using H-1B visas.
Oh, they were skirting the H1-Bs, huh?
SIGH!
Stanford University Law School fellow Vivek Wadwha, a startup adviser, said firms are so starved for talent they are buying other companies to obtain skilled workers.
Looks like an excuse for corporate consolidation to me.
If there’s a bias against Americans, he said, it’s an age-bias based on the fact that older workers may not have the latest skills. More than 70 percent of H-1B petitions approved in 2012 were for workers between the ages of 25 and 34.
Yeah, divert attention from the money aspect.
‘‘If workers don’t constantly retrain themselves, their skills become obsolete,’’ he said.
I guess that is how I ended up here reading and blogging about the Boston Globe.
Norm Matloff, a computer science professor at the University of California, Davis, agreed that age plays into it — not because older workers are less skilled but because they typically require higher pay. Temporary workers also tend to be cheaper because they don’t require long-term health care for dependents and aren’t around long enough to get significant raises, he said.
Because they can be deported if they lose their jobs, these employees are often loath to complain about working conditions.
Yeah, my point is an afterthought.
Go back to believing the corporately-held myth now.

As for finding criminals:
"War crime suspect accused of bribery" Associated Press June 25, 2014
BURLINGTON, Vt. — A Vermont man charged with committing war crimes in his native Bosnia 21 years ago is also accused of trying to bribe alleged Bosnian witnesses.
Edin Sakoc, 54, ‘‘attempted to bribe witnesses through intermediaries for testimony favorable to the defendant,’’ prosecutors wrote in a motion filed in US District Court.
The Bosnian Muslim allegedly lied to immigration officials when he came to the United States as a refugee in 2001 and when he applied to become a US citizen in 2007 by denying he had committed any crimes in Bosnia.
Sakoc denies the charges.
Court filings say Sakoc raped a Serbian woman, aided in the killings of two elderly women the raped woman had been caring for, and burned the house where they were living.
Prosecutors and defense lawyers are expected to travel to Bosnia next month to interview witnesses to the rape and killings. The government has asked to postpone the trip while the bribe allegation is investigated.

And not wanting to raise alarms even though others are, but how is the broken health system going to handle all the diseases the immigrants are bringing with them?
Hey, at least there is a job waiting where you can make a buck or two:

NEXT DAY UPDATES:
"US faces tough hurdles in child migrant crisis; Legal, political obstacles abound as anger mounts" by Charles Babington | Associated Press July 07, 2014
WASHINGTON — The legal, humanitarian, and political constraints facing the Obama administration as it copes with thousands of Central American children entering the country illegally came into sharp focus Sunday as officials debated ways to address the problem.
All the hallmarks of an agenda-pushing campaign with the added benefit of distracting from so many scandals.
A George W. Bush-era law to address human trafficking prevents the government from returning Central American children to their home countries without taking them into custody and eventually through a deportation hearing. Minors from Mexico and Canada, by contrast, can be sent back across the border more easily.
It's like he never really left. In fact, in some ways things are worse. More drone strikes, more spying, Libya invaded and smashed, Ukraine replacing Georgia. And we are back in Iraq, too.
The administration says it wants more flexibility under the law.
He said he was doing an order.
But even if Congress agrees, the change might do little to ease the partisan quarreling and complex logistical and humanitarian challenges surrounding the issue.
Yeah, now that Obama has dumped them all across America.
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Sunday the administration has dramatically sped up the processing of adults who enter the country illegally, and it is opening more detention facilities.
That thrills me with warmth. More detention facilities, more tyranny.
He acknowledged that the unaccompanied children from Central America, some 9,700 taken into custody in May alone, pose the most vexing problem.
To the point where it has sucked all the attention away from anything else right now.
All persons, regardless of age, face ‘‘a deportation proceeding’’ if they are caught entering the country illegally, Johnson said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.’’
The administration, he said, is ‘‘looking at ways to create additional options for dealing with the children in particular, consistent with our laws and our values.’’
Sounds good, but they are not doing that and I wonder what values is he really talking about?
According to my history texts I was taught, immigrants never had it easy, have always been discriminated against, and on and on. I guess it was better than eating branches in the home country, but the endless contradictions between the myths spewed and the reality has reached a breaking point brought on by betrayal.
And what laws and values? Torture? Aggressive and illegal wars based on lies leading to the mass-murder of millions?
Repeatedly pressed to say whether thousands of Central American children will be deported promptly, Johnson said, ‘‘we need to find more efficient, effective ways to turn this tide around generally, and we’ve already begun to do that.’’
After they initiated it they want to turn it back -- and already have?
This stuff is bordering on bullshit!
Several Republicans, and even a Democrat, said Sunday that the administration has reacted too slowly and cautiously to the crisis.
Uh-oh, defections in the ranks already!
More than 50,000 unaccompanied minors have been caught on the US-Mexico border this year. Most are from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, where a spike in violence and poverty are prompting parents to send their children on difficult and dangerous journeys north.
All part of U.S. policies via economics and drug war.
Their numbers have overwhelmed federal agencies. When 140 would-be immigrants, mostly mothers with children, were flown to Southern California to ease an overcrowded Texas facility, angry residents of Murrieta greeted the bus as it pulled into town, complaining that they were being asked to do more than their share.
‘‘This is a failure of diplomacy, it is a failure of leadership from the administration,’’ said Texas Governor Rick Perry, a candidate for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination, who appeared on ABC’s ‘‘This Week.’’
Representative Henry Cuellar, a Texas Democrat, said the administration ‘‘is one step behind’’ a major dilemma that was foreseeable. The number of children coming from Central America without adults has been rising dramatically for several years.
Maybe they let it happen on purpose.
President Obama is asking Congress for more money and authority to send the children home, even as he also seeks ways to allow millions of other people already living in the United States illegally to stay.
I'm so confused!
The Bush-era law requires unaccompanied children to be handed over to the Department of Health and Human Services for care and housing.
Back to him again.
Unlike Mexican or Canadian children, the Central Americans must be taken into custody and given a deportation hearing before they can be returned to their home countries.
A possible change to the Bush-era law could give Border Patrol agents more leeway in handling these children.
Unaccompanied Central American children generally are being released to relatives already in the United States. Mothers with their children often are released with a notice to appear later in immigration court. Meanwhile, word of seemingly successful border crossings reaches their home countries, encouraging others to try.
I was told that was not part of it at all, and to claim such was racist!
Johnson said the US government is trying to send the message that all persons who enter the country illegally will face deportation proceedings eventually. In Central America, he said, ‘‘the criminal smuggling organizations are putting out a lot of disinformation about supposed free passes into this country’’ that will expire soon.
You know something? I -- and the whole world, I think -- am tired of the U.S. government sending messages.
Johnson and others are warning of the dangers that immigrants, and especially children, face when they try to reach the United States on their own.
Want me to cut open my chest so you can pull on those heart strings?
As for the hunger and poverty of legal citizens and children of this country? You get austerity and a cut in food stamps to soothe that growling stomach.
Alan Long, mayor of Murrieta, Calif., denounced the nation’s current immigration laws and practices.
Central Americans think ‘‘they’re coming to a better place, but on that journey one-third of the females — some younger, in their teens — are raped,’’ Long said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.’’
Seems outrageous and untrue, and that is likely the impression you are meant to be left with by the agenda-pusher; however, the reality here is not what was in the brochure. That is a fact.

Glad I no longer watch those programs anymore.
I put this next item up with the note of how it was quietly slipped in on a Monday as it validates everything I have typed:
"Backlash stirs in US against foreign worker visas" by Laura Wides-Munoz and Paul Wiseman | Associated Press July 07, 2014
NEW YORK — Kelly Parker was thrilled when she landed her dream job in 2012 providing tech support for Harley-Davidson’s Tomahawk plants in Wisconsin. The divorced mother of three hoped it was the beginning of a new career with the motorcycle company.
The dream didn’t last long. Parker contends she was laid off one year later after she trained her replacement, a newly arrived worker from India.
They don't do that!
Now she has joined a federal lawsuit alleging the global staffing firm that ran Harley-Davidson’s tech support discriminated against American workers — in part by replacing them with temporary workers from South Asia.
