November 15, 2011 New FAIR Report: H-1B and Other Programs Harm American Workers "Even amid the bleakest labor market in generations, we are constantly told that American workers are either unwilling or unable to perform certain jobs. Despite evidence to the contrary, the political class has largely come to accept that American workers will not perform physically demanding labor. There is now also a concerted effort to convince the public that Americans are unqualified for intellectually demanding jobs," notes FAIR in a press release about its latest report. Read FAIR's full report, Jobs Americans Can't Do?: The Myth of a Skilled Labor Shortage at www.fairus.org/h1b2011.
Frederick County, Maryland, Moves to Stop Illegal Immigration "Blaine Young, president of Frederick County's board of commissioners, has plans to make Frederick 'the most unfriendly county in the state of Maryland to illegal aliens,'" the Baltimore Sun writes. "And while he said some localities might cringe at such a title, 'we wear that with a badge of honor.'" "County officials -- motivated by a high-profile murder charge against an alleged illegal immigrant -- are attempting to craft sweeping legislation to prohibit undocumented workers from getting jobs and renting homes."
Parents Abandon Children to U.S. Foster Care After Deportation "In the past few years, a growing number of long-time residents with families are being deported while the kids are almost always placed in foster care. According to previously unreleased federal data obtained by the ARC, between January and June of 2011, the United States carried out more than 46,000 deportations of the parents of U.S.-citizen children, and almost one in four people deported in the last year was the mother or father of an American citizen," says Juvenile Justice Information Exchange.
Russell Pearce: Recall Election Not a Referendum on SB 1070 "I'd be lying if I said I was not extremely disappointed by being voted out in a recall election. I'm sad to go under these circumstances. The establishment is attempting to frame my defeat as proof that voters oppose immigration control. Many are insinuating my defeat as a blow SB1070," says Russell Pearce in a Politico op-ed. "But the truth is - as some political observers acknowledge - I probably wouldn't have lost the race in a normal election . . . In addition, looming over the campaign was a prolonged smear campaign against me for accepting (with dozens of other legislators) free college football tickets. I believe these attacks are groundless and I did nothing illegal or unethical. The main point, however, is that this had nothing to do with my positions on illegal immigration. In fact my opponent barely discussed the issue."
N.M. Gov. Says New Info Shows Grandparents Were Legal "New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez has dug into her family's ancestry and uncovered documents that she says suggest her paternal grandparents followed the law and common practices in coming to the United States from Mexico in the early 1900s, contradicting earlier indications they were illegal immigrants," the AP reports.
NY Board of Regents Votes to Give $5000 in Tax Money to Every Illegal Alien College Student "The state Board of Regents went to bat for immigrant kids Monday, voting to urge New York lawmakers to extend state financial aid to undocumented students. The estimated 10,000 undocumented youth who graduate from city high schools each year qualify for in-state tuition at CUNY and SUNY schools, but cannot apply for the state's Tuition Assistance Program," the NY Daily News writes. "The board voted in Albany to try to change this by pushing for legislation to open TAP -- which provides grants of up to $5,000 -- to all students."
