January 23, 2012 Today on ImmigrationReform.com - Unemployment Drops Sharply in Alabama Today on ImmigrationReform.com FAIR's Ira Mehlman takes a look at new unemployment figures in Alabama that show a sharp drop in unemployment in the state since passage of Alabama's tough immigration enforcement law. Plus, our guest blogger Gregory Sokoloff gives his perspective about GOP candidate Mitt Romney's recent 'ambush' by an illegal alien at a NYC fundraiser. You can read about it at www.immigrationreform.com.
Felon Released by DHS Kills 3 "When burglar Kesler Dufrene became a twice-convicted felon in 2006, a Bradenton judge shipped him to prison for five years. And because of his convictions, an immigration judge ordered Dufrene deported to his native Haiti. That never happened," says the Miami Herald. "Instead, when Dufrene's state prison term was up, Miami immigration authorities in October 2010 released him from custody. Two months later, North Miami police say, he slaughtered three people, including a 15-year-old girl."
Obama's Changes Weaken Immigration Law "Last summer, the Obama administration began to employ "prosecutorial discretion" to suspend action against most of 300,000 illegal immigrants slated for deportation," says Richard F. LaMountain with Oregonians for Immigration Reform. "Today, that appears but the opening salvo in a series of moves, as per commentator W. James Antle III, to effectively 'stop enforcing the law against whole categories' of illegal immigrants 'and to use necessary administrative leeway to effect policy changes that lack support in Congress.'"
Unemployment Drops Again in Alabama After Jobs Open Due to Immigration Law "Alabama's unemployment rate continues to drop amid state-wide enforcement of a new immigration law, despite Democratic efforts to block and stigmatize the popular reform. December's unemployment rate fell to 8.1 percent, down from 8.7 percent in November and 9.8 percent in September," the Daily Caller notes. "'In the last three months alone, we've seen an unprecedented drop of 1.7 percentage points,' noted Alabama Republican Gov. Robert Bentley in a Jan. 20 statement."
