October 21, 2009 More About the Evangelical Endorsement of Amnesty Mark Tooley with the American Spectator writes about the decision by some board members with the National Association of Evangelicals to adopt a pro-amnesty resolution. Despite claims that there was no dissent in the vote, several organizations including the Salvation Army said they did not support the resolution. The Salvation Army noted that the resolution does not become policy at any member organization unless they chose to make it so. Noting the different policy initiatives being championed by the NAE, Tooley asks, "So how is NAE now substantively distinct from the old, left-leaning National Council of Churches (NCC) for which it was partly founded as a conservative alternative (at least for the NCC's predecessor) more than 60 years ago?"
Why 287(g) Agreements Work "There is no better measure of the effectiveness of tools used to enforce our immigration laws than the howls of opposition from the anti-enforcement crowd. The ACLU's own hostility to 287(g) should be viewed as an unintentional but unmistakable endorsement of its effectiveness," says D.A. King in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. King notes that over 6,000 illegal immigrants have been turned over to ICE for deportation in the two years the 287(g) program has been running in Cobb County.
Israeli Mall Workers Find Door Closed Israelis looking to make some fast cash working Christmas season in U.S. malls are out of luck, says Tsvi Kan-Tor with Israel's Ynet News. Kan-Tor explains that "The mall industry quickly took advantage of the obscure nature of the [H-2B] visa to temporarily hire Israelis, despite the fact that it is a year-round industry. The USCIS finally wised up and decided to toughen H-B2 criteria." Another change in the H-2B regulations makes it harder for malls to hire H-2B applicants since they must show they attempted to hire American workers.
A Bizarre Case of Visa Fraud, Money Laundering and Cemetery Plots Kelly Einstein Darwin Giles and two associates were arrested last week for running an H-1B fraud operation in California. They set up multiple fake companies to apply for H-1B visas, then charged immigrants high fees to take advantage of the fraudulent visas. The proceeds were laundered through purchases of cemetery plots. "Cemetery plots are certainly a novel way to attempt to launder the proceeds from criminal activity, but as this case shows, we will follow the money trail wherever it leads," ICE said in a news release.
