August 02, 2010 Oklahoma Law Saving State Millions as Criminals Deported "A year-old state law is saving Oklahomans millions of dollars by deporting illegal immigrant criminals back to their home countries. Oklahoma is one of about five states using similar methods to ease inmate overcrowding in prison systems, federal immigration officials say," according to the Oklahoman. "Most individuals deported under the state's rapid repatriation program had been convicted of drug and alcohol offenses. There are 136 inmates awaiting pickup and removal by federal officials." Oklahoma also has one of the toughest state level immigration laws enacted.
Virginia Legislators Study AZ Opinion, Remain Supportive of Law "How serious are the national groups that helped get Arizona's law passed about making Virginia their next stand? Serious enough that Michael Hethmon, general counsel for Immigration Law Reform Institute, which pushed for the law, told Gwen Ifill on PBS' Newshour Wednesday night that he was actually meeting with Virginia legislators interested in passing a state law here when news of the Arizona ruling came down," notes the Washington Post Virginia Politics blog.
Crop Yields Could Force Up to An Extra 100,000 Mexicans Per Year to U.S. "A reduction in crop yields caused by global warming could mean up to 6.7 million additional Mexicans will emigrate to the United States by 2080, says a study by Princeton University researchers," the Christian Science Monitor reports. The study itself, by Alan Kruger and two other professors at Princeton, focuses on agricultural yields by studying the 1995 - 2005 period, to determine the impact of an expected decline in yield from warming over the next 80 years. The study's appendix has more information about how the calculations were done. The total calculated "extra" migration is an estimate, although most media reports picked the high number of 6.7 million and not the lower 1.4 million.
