The hardest job in America? Alan Bersin is accustomed to success. He was an all-star linebacker at Harvard. He is personal friends will Bill Clinton. He was lauded for his work as America's first border czar. But as superintendent of San Diego city schools, he faces challenges unlike any he's ever seen before. So how does he keep his preternatural cool? by Micah Sachs The headquarters for the San Diego Unified school district is a depressing place. The exterior is painted a pale pink, the halls are drenched with water stains and even the office supplies come out of a vending machine. But step into Superintendent Alan Bersin's office and you almost forget your drab ...

Study: Illegal immigrants having more kids in US By HOPE YEN Associated Press Writer Published: Tuesday, Apr. 14, 2009 - 7:08 am Last Modified: Tuesday, Apr. 14, 2009 - 8:37 am WASHINGTON -- Growing numbers of children of illegal immigrants are being born in this country, and they are nearly twice as likely to live in poverty than those with American-born parents, a report says. The study released Tuesday by the Pew Hispanic Center highlights a growing dilemma in the immigration debate: Illegal immigrants' children born in the United States are American citizens, yet they struggle in poverty and uncertainty along with parents who fear deportation, toil largely in low-wage jobs and ...

Pedro Guzman has been an American citizen all his life. Yet in 2007, the 31-year-old Los Angeles native - in jail for a misdemeanor, mentally ill and never able to read or write - signed a waiver agreeing to leave the country without a hearing and was deported to Mexico as an illegal immigrant. For almost three months, Guzman slept in the streets, bathed in filthy rivers and ate out of trash cans while his mother scoured the city of Tijuana, its hospitals and morgues, clutching his photo in her hand. He was finally found trying to cross the border at Calexico, 100 miles away. These days, back home in California, "He just changes from one second to another. His brain jumps back to ...

UK EPIDEMIC - MUSLIM TAXI DRIVERS RAPING BRITISH GIRLS & WOMEN

Recently a BBC announcer was sacked/fired for requesting a "non Asian taxi driver" to transport her young unaccompanied 14 year old daughter. (Out of concern for her daughter's fears/mental well being & safety) Of course, the "racist" club was trotted out by the mainstream media and others to verbally bludgeon Sam Mason for having the audacity to demand an "English driver". But was Sam Mason really exposing her racism or was she reacting, as any mother would, to the facts that there is a ongoing epidemic of muslim taxi driver rapes in the UK? (Note: the media prefers the more vague term "Asian") Not surprising - the mainstream media, is ...

The majority of “undocumented Irish” young people living illegally in America come from Fermanagh and Tyrone, the Assembly had been told. But new President Barack Obama intends to tackle the problem, according to Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness. Reporting on his recent week-long trip to the US, Mr McGuinness said the issue came up constantly. There is an estimated 2,500 to 3,000 illegal Irish in the US, with the majority coming from Fermanagh and Tyrone. Mr McGuinness said: “The issue of the undocumented Irish came up consistently and persistently at many of the engagements in which we were involved." “There is no doubt that it is a matter with which ...

Guns from U.S. to Mexico: Thorny issues crop up at the border

NOGALES, Mexico — A steady flow of Americans used to come down Interstate 19 to this city on the Arizona border: those looking for cheap prescription drugs, kitschy souvenirs or less wholesome pursuits. That flow of visitors has largely dried up, and city leaders blame another southward stream. Guns from the U.S. are fueling an outbreak of violence in Nogales and all over Mexico, according to officials from both countries. As the U.S. and Mexico talk of a shared responsibility to contain an epidemic of drug-related violence, the U.S. is dispatching federal agents to the border to oversee expanded vehicle searches and investigations of dealers to keep guns from ending up in the hands ...

Corzine's panel backs moratorium on raids on undocumented immigrants by Jeff Diamanat/The Star-Ledger Monday March 30, 2009, 11:55 AM A panel appointed by Gov. Jon Corzine to examine immigration policies in New Jersey today issued a number of recommendations handling undocumented immigrants, ranging from a moratorium on raids to creating an immigrant welcome center. The panel also said the state should allow undocumented immigrants in New Jersey to drive legally, though only if the U.S. Department of Homeland Security approves. Corzine expressed less personal support for the driving proposal as he released the report at a news conference in Jersey City. Other parts of the report ...

New-born babies are now tested for tuberculosis in UK hospitals. TB was the biggest killer in this country during the 19th century. It had nearly been eradicated. But Third World immigrants have brought it back. The first duty of Government is to protect the population. But for sixty years successive governments have been neglecting this responsibility and exposing innocent members of the public to deadly diseases. They should have reversed the idea and not allowed immigrants into the country without proper health checks - all should have been screened for TB. The Daily Mail of 5th July 2001 described Newham, London as TB capital of the West. It had 108 cases per 100,000 people which over ...

It seems the two crooks never learned two things: they were in Montana and Patricia had been a clay shooting champion since she was nine. Patricia was in her upstairs room when the two men broke through the front door of the house. She quickly ran to her father's room and grabbed his 12 gauge Mossberg 500 shotgun.

There has been much discussion about the advisability of letting in more foreign engineers to work in American high-tech companies. Here is a report from an American engineer who wishes to remain anonymous. The well-publicized downturn in the semiconductor industry finally took its toll on my company and I was laid off on July 1st. Since then I have been looking for work. Yesterday’s interview for an engineering position at a Milpitis chip company had quite an effect on me. All the engineers there are foreigners from East Asia. I believe the interview was an exercise in futility, an act of going through the motions. One of the interviewers asked me how I would feel about being ...
Blacks Moving to the South

Connie Williams’ move to Greensboro from New Jersey two years ago was hardly an isolated statistic. Both North and South Carolina were among the top 10 “influx” states gaining in African American migration from 1995 to 2000, according to Brookings Institution scholar William H. Frey’s analysis of the 2000 U.S. Census. And cities such as Chicago, New York and Los Angeles lost black residents in significant numbers for the first time in the 20th century. This is a reversal of the 40-year trend of “great migration” out of the South, which created the “urban” American city documented in Nicholas Lemann’s 1991 book “The Promised Land: The Great ...
U.S. to blame for much of Mexico violence - Clinton

By Arshad Mohammed MEXICO CITY, March 25 (Reuters) - An "insatiable" appetite in the United States for illegal drugs is to blame for much of the violence ripping through Mexico, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Wednesday. Clinton acknowledged the U.S. role in Mexico's vicious drug war as she arrived in Mexico for a two-day visit where she discussed U.S. plans to ramp up security on the border with President Felipe Calderon. A surge in drug gang killings to 6,300 last year and fears the violence could seep over the border has put Mexico's drug war high on President Barack Obama's agenda, after years of Mexico feeling that Washington was neglecting a ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House unveiled a new effort on Tuesday to crack down on the two-way smuggling of drugs, guns and money across its border with Mexico, expressing President Barack Obama's concern that criminal violence could spill over to U.S. soil. "The president is concerned by the increased level of violence ... and the impact that it is having on communities on both sides of the border," the White House said a day before Secretary of State Hillary Clinton leaves on a trip to Mexico. The new U.S. strategy seeks to fight the growing power and violence of Mexican cartels, which ship billions of dollars worth of illegal drugs into the United States and bring ...

Auguste Comte, the founder of sociology, is said to have proclaimed, "Demography is destiny." So you might think that annual release of the latest birth statistics by the federal National Center for Health Statistics might engender some careful scrutiny in the press. But you would be W-R-O-N-G. Instead, the New York Times covered Births: Preliminary Data for 2007 in its "Health" section. The insightfulness of Main Stream Media analysis is displayed in this quote from the NYT’s article ’07 U.S. Births Break Baby Boom Record [by Erik Eckholm, March 19, 2009]: "But in contrast with the culturally transforming postwar boom, when a smaller population of ...

Everyone in the world knows that when a dog bows in front of you, that is an invitation to play, Hardly anyone knows, that in human body language, a hand over the mouth is a "No!" Here Obama is being pressed by a wetback group for anmesty. His words are, "We're appointing people...doing studies...blah, blah, blah." But his body language is saying, "No to amnesty." Obama is not stupid, and he knows anmesty is going to hurt blacks far worse than whites. Permanently hurt them. A tipping point has been reached on amnesty. It will never pass. The last time it was tried, Nancy Pelosi said people were calling her house saying they'd kill her and her ...

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - Hundreds of thousands of New Mexicans will receive a one-time payment of $250 through the national stimulus plan President Obama signed in February. The payment will be distributed to about 400,000 people who receive benefits from Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Veterans Affairs or the Railroad Retirement Board. Cindy Padilla, who serves as Aging and Long-Term Services Department secretary, says the payment will help provide an economic boost to the elderly or those living with a disability. A person eligible through more than one program will receive only one payment. The installment will be sent by late May and will arrive separately from usual ...

On his very full plate, immigration was one issue that President Obama had yet to take on - until yesterday, when he discussed it with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. At a town hall meeting in southern California yesterday, Obama renewed his support for comprehensive reform, including a possible path to citizenship for law-abiding people who entered the country illegally, along the lines of the bill that stalled in Congress in 2007. According to the White House account of yesterday's one-hour closed session, it was "a robust and strategic meeting" in which Obama announced he will go to Mexico next month to meet President Calderón and discuss, among other issues, ...
