- Record Immigration Means More Job Competition for Americans
A new report that drew from Census Bureau and Department of Homeland Security data found that in 2016’s first six months, 1.03 million legal and illegal immigrants arrived in the United States. The Washington, D.C.-based, nonpartisan Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) extrapolated the 1.03 million and concluded that newly settled immigrants for all of 2016 ... - Gutierrez Duplicitous on DACA
There is a joke that goes, “how can you tell when a politician is lying? Answer: When his lips are moving!” Last Tuesday I attended a protest outside the Capitol building sponsored by Casa De Maryland and the very misguided Service Employees International Union (SEIU.) I would say somewhere north of 2,000 protesters showed up ... - Long Haul Trucker Describes America’s Decline: Excess Development and Immigration
Finn Murphy offers us a striking example of a unique person cutting his own deal about how to live his life not patterned by his upbringing environment or his family’s economic or social status.

As Kevin Lynn’s 11/7 op ed entitled “Citizenship for Sale with EB5 Visa” tells us, virtually anyone can become a US citizen by paying $500,000. The ways for entering the US legally and illegally have multiplied and the whole system is in need of serious reform. By maintaining present annual additions of legal and illegal aliens ... - Citizenship For Sale with EB-5 Visa
The American visa system is a complex beast, built seemingly to confuse American and immigrant alike. It is also crafted in ways to make them easily exploitable by those who would “help stimulate our economy,” a phrase which is synonymous with corporations lining their pockets. We’ve discussed at length the abuses of the H1-B Visa, a ... - A Tale of Two Californias, and Our Immigration System
In a recent conference on the economic state of California, historian and commentator Victor Davis Hanson spoke on the consequences of our flawed immigration system.

Immigration in the United States is a difficult issue to address both politically and emotionally.

Someone I met recently told me about his recent conversations with some senior McDonald’s Corporation officials who advised him that they intend to automate their over 14,000 US stores as rapidly as possible.

Over the weekend the employment numbers for August were released; 156,000 jobs added might be okay if we are grading on a curve, but we are not. Despite the hyperbole that accompanied the release, 156,000 jobs (a number that will no doubt be adjusted downward as were June and July) underscores that our economy is ... - Mall Sprawl Paves Away Wildlife
It has become a more common sight every year. Husks of retail giants, the likes of Sears, Kmart, JC Penney, and Macy’s appear scattered across the landscape like Elephant Graveyards. Yet with every retail store shuttered, it seems that another comes to take its place. They do not reuse the skeleton of their fallen brethren, instead ... - What the RAISE ACT Means For Immigration And The Environment

The profit pool is the people who are out of control. There is no viable online gaming industry not fueled this way. If you think addicting people and ruining their lives is plausibly a socially valuable pursuit of profit, say so. Otherwise, shut it down.
Egg timer anyone?? 😂

🧵Thanks for posting. Wish there were something more current, but it speaks to the fact there was no shortage then and there isn't now. The H-1B visa was predicated on the myth that there would be a skilled labor shortage in the USA.

I'm a South Korean journalist based in New York City. This is a thread about what's happening in South Korea right now after the president declared emergency martial law.
The U.S. government is actively working to undermine the American people
We’ve empowered Washington to the point that it’s become dangerous and destructive
It’s too big, too expensive, and too powerful
We must return to constitutional government
