(AP) — Even as the economy collapsed last year and many financial workers found themselves unemployed, the dozen U.S. banks now receiving the biggest rescue packages requested visas for tens of thousands of foreign workers to fill high-paying jobs, according to an Associated Press review of visa applications. The major banks, which have received $150 billion in bailout funds, requested visas for more than 21,800 foreign workers over the past six years for senior vice presidents, ...

MIAMI -- Iraqis displaced by the ongoing U.S-led war are among new groups of refugees who will increasingly be resettled in communities throughout Florida and the country, a United Nations official said Wednesday. The United Nations has referred more than 42,000 Iraqis to be resettled in the United States, and of those, 15,000 already have arrived -- many of them religious minorities or single mothers whose husbands were killed, said Larry Yungk, senior resettlement officer with the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. Yungk spoke before more than 200 case workers, educators and social service providers for refugees during a conference called "Adapting to a Changing World: Promising ...

Racist violence on Australia Day By Justin Vallejo IT was a day to celebrate all things Australian but it quickly descended into an afternoon of violence and racism echoing the ugly stain of the 2005 Cronulla riots in NSW. Once the embodiment of all things good about the country, Australia Day today became a scene of brawls and vandalism across NSW - with anger spreading from Shellharbour in the south to Port Macquarie in the north, The Daily Telegraph reported. Wild brawls were also reported on the Gold Coast at Burleigh Beach, with hundreds of teenagers coming together in a series of violent confrontation on the popular family beach. The brawls occurred at about 3pm and a heavy ...

Mexican ‘Stew Maker’ dissolved 300 drug war victims in acid

He was known as El Pozolero — The Stew Maker — but his ingredients were less than savoury. The job of Santiago Meza López was to dispose of the enemies of a notorious drug baron by dissolving them in tubs of acid. Over several years he claims to have “disappeared” 300 enemies of Teodoro García Semental, a former henchman for one of the largest cartels in Mexico and now in a bloody struggle for supremacy over the trade. Meza, 45, told police that, once their remains had been in the acid baths for 24 hours, he would bury them. In a twisted act of chivalry, he said he only dissolved men, refusing to make women vanish this way. He said that he was paid $600 ...

Nashville Won’t Make English Official Language

Nashville voters on Thursday rejected a proposal to make English the city’s official language and largely prevent government workers from communicating in other languages. The proposal was introduced by Eric Crafton, a metropolitan councilman. It was opposed by a broad coalition including the mayor, civil rights groups, business leaders, ministers and the heads of nine institutions of higher education. “The results of this special election reaffirm Nashville’s identity as a welcoming and friendly city,” Mayor Karl Dean said in a statement. Mr. Crafton had said the policy would encourage immigrants to learn English and save the city more than $100,000 in translation ...

I spent the three months preparing for a news conference scheduled for January 14, 2009. On December 10 and January 6, I flew aerial surveillance missions along the border. I then used the mission data, together with data from other missions flown over the past two years, to tell a story. The presentation given at the National Press Club was the best I have ever done. It told the story about the border that was compelling and true. It had national significance. To make sure the media and others would be there, American Border Patrol paid PR Newswire extra to use its special Homeland Security "microlist" for the press release. I called and e-mailed reporters I knew, including ...

One of my friends called me yesterday. He lives in a very nice condo he owns, in teh Sandia Mountains outside Albuquerque. A woman he knows, who got a job house-sitting. told him the foundation of the house is cracking already, being that it was constructed by Hispanics. It's also full of cockroaches. Everywhere in the world, whites live in the hills, and the lower classes live in the valleys. My friend is thinking about selling his place and moving to Missouri, which already has a lot of people from California and other states inundated by Third Worlders. Recently the sticker off his license plate was cut off with a pair of tin snips. Destroyed the plate and had to get a new one. ...

America’s Minority Mortgage Meltdown/ Diversity Recession: The Smoking Gun? By Steve SailerThe ongoing financial crash was caused by overleveraging at all levels of society, from Wall Street to Main Street to the slums. The initial cause, however, was the popping of the subprime mortgage bubble. At their bubblicious peak, American homes were theoretically worth $24 trillion. The amount of wealth that has evaporated in the popping of the American real estate bubble so far appears to be in the $5 trillion range, to pick a very round number. The blogger Dr. Housing Bubble recently estimated the loss to be $4.68 trillion using Case-Shiller data. Another source estimates $6 trillion. ...
What is Racism? Why is it a bad thing?

Like breathing, being racist isn’t considered very important until one stops doing it. Then the people who never paid any attention to being racist but figured it would take care of itself, suddenly find themselves choking to death and on the edge of extinction. The need for explicit, conscious racism instead of implicit, subconscious racism is more dire than ever before, due to the breakdown of impersonal natural forces keeping the races apart. Our people are having an asthma attack, the natural working of the lungs has failed, and only explicit, conscious, reasoned racism can be the inhaler that rescues them. The impersonal barriers of separation are gone. It is time for personal ...

Making a down payment on President-elect Barack Obama’s promise of universal health coverage, the House voted overwhelmingly Wednesday to expand government-sponsored insurance to 4 million more children in working families with income too high to qualify for Medicaid. Between 300,000 and 600,000 of the new enrollees could be non-citizen children of legal immigrants who have been in the country less than five years, a sticking point for some Senate Republicans who also will consider a similar bill. {snip} Forty Republicans joined Democrats in passing the bill 289-139. Congress passed similar legislation in 2007 but it was vetoed both times by departing President George W. Bush. The ...

Immigration will once again be a hot topic in the upcoming legislative session. More than a dozen bills have already been filed as some state lawmakers are tired of waiting for the Federal Government to reform immigration. In 2006, throngs of people hit the streets in every major city in Texas to protest laws aimed at driving illegal immigrants out of the country. Almost three years later, more than a dozen bills related to immigration have already been filed in the Texas Legislature. One seeks to deny automatic citizenship for children born to illegal immigrant parents. Another would assess an 8% fee for money sent to Mexico by undocumented people. Yet another would outlaw in-state ...

While you were quietly getting ready for Christmas, the Department of Homeland Security pulled a fast one. On December 22nd, in what could be the most idiotic thing the Bush administration has done, DHS approved Malta as a Visa Waiver Program country. Each year, Malta—an archipelago of seven islands—gets tens of thousands of people from Africa on rafts. The island is being overwhelmed. These people arrive on Maltese soil, which is European Union territory, and they immediately try to get admitted to the EU. When the word is out about the Visa Waiver, more boat people will come and try to get legal status in Malta so they can ultimately get into the U.S. without a visa. Once ...

Touted as one of the safest cities of its size in the nation, El Paso is awakening to its southern neighbor’s bloody nightmare. City officials say that drug-related violence across the border in Ciudad Juárez is having a growing impact in El Paso. And the situation across Mexico is deteriorating so fast that retired five-star Gen. Barry McCaffrey warned in a new assessment of a refugee catastrophe that could devastate border cities. “Mexico is on the edge of abyss,” he said in a Dec. 28 report. “It could become a narco-state in the coming decade,” and the result could be a “surge of millions of refugees crossing the U.S. border to escape the domestic ...

Whites leaving SA in droves 22 July 2008, 18:13 The number of white South Africans who give emigration as the reason for selling their home has shot up in recent months as high crime levels and political and economic uncertainty spur the flight of whites from the Rainbow Nation. A survey by South Africa's First National Bank (FNB) showed the proportion of homeowners who said they were putting their homes on the market because they were emigrating had doubled between the last quarter of 2007 and the second quarter of 2008, from 9 percent to 18 percent. Emigration was one of the most frequent reasons given by homeowners for selling up, next only to downscaling because of financial ...
GOP Needs a Rethink on Immigration

As the 111th Congress convenes, Republicans need to rethink their immigration policy. This isn’t because of the supposed lessons of last November’s elections. Despite his herculean efforts at passing Ted Kennedy’s amnesty bill, Sen. McCain’s share of the Hispanic vote was in the usual range for Republicans — though lower than the Republican share in 2004, just like among every other category of voter. He did lose, after all. And if no Hispanics at all had voted, Sen. Obama would still have won. This Congress will be the first since 1965 in which major immigration legislation will be considered with Republicans not in control of any part of the national government ...
