March 09, 2012 Gov. Rick Snyder's Survivorship Bias and Legal Immigration "Imagine the Grand Rapids area without Meijer, or Midland if Dow Chemical never existed, Gov. Rick Snyder asks of people polarized by the immigration debate. 'We've Americanized these companies and forgotten they were created by immigrants who have given our communities so much,' Snyder said Thursday after speaking at the West Michigan Asian American Association's annual fundraiser at the Goei Center," Michigan Live reports. "Snyder's commentary, which he's taken to Congress asking for eased restrictions on green cards and talked about at policy conferences, is exactly what Eastern Floral CEO Bing Goei wants to hear and spread." FAIR comment: Snyder's argument is based in survivorship bias. Survivorship bias is the belief that company success is due to something other than luck - and ignoring the many companies that failed with similar origins. see more here and here.
Appeal Court Blocks More of Alabama Law "A U.S. appeals court on Thursday ordered the state of Alabama to stop enforcing additional parts of its tough new immigration law pending its review, expanding its earlier injunction blocking key parts of the law," Reuters reported. "The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, based in Atlanta, issued a brief order expanding its initial injunction to include provisions that barred illegal immigrants from obtaining a driver's license and barred courts from enforcing contracts that involved illegal immigrants."
Visa Overstays Tough To Track, Remain Security Risks "By the time the suspect in an alleged bomb plot against the U.S. Capitol was arrested in a parking lot, wearing what he thought was an explosive-laden suicide vest, he had been living illegally in the United States for 12 years," the AP reports. "The criminal case against Amine El Khalifi, 29, of Alexandria, Va., has renewed the debate about how the U.S. government -- a decade after the terror attacks of 2001 -- routinely fails to track millions of foreign visitors who remain in the country longer than they are allowed."
Woman Indicted in Mass. ID Fraud "A Springfield woman who allegedly stole an identity to remain in the United States as a citizen after arriving here on a travel visa in 2001 is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in federal court for a fresh set of tax fraud and other criminal charges. Yolanda Mercedes Perez de Lopez, 50, a Dominican national and mother of three, was masquerading as Alicia Perez after robbing the identity of a Puerto Rican woman, according to federal prosecutors," Masslive.com writes.
Sheriff Says Federal Action Needed on Illegal Immigration "County sheriffs are likely to remain on the front line of the immigration debate until federal officials address the underlying issues that have lead to a record number of deportations, according to McLean County Sheriff Mike Emery. 'As long as people's eyes and minds are closed, the problem will never be solved,' Emery said following a forum Thursday on the issue of immigration detention orders," Pantagraph.com reports.
