May 29, 2012 Visa Giveaway for STEM Graduates is Bad Policy "Giving STEM graduates a green card is a widely popular but misguided policy. Advocates of automatic green cards for STEM graduates base their positions on one or more of a number of suppositions: The U.S. economy is lagging because we don't have enough scientists and engineers to meet industry demand; and/or increasing the supply will directly increase the innovation level in the economy; and/or increases in the number of scientists and engineers in other countries will put the United States at a competitive disadvantage. Each argument has the same intuitive appeal as that of motherhood and apple pie yet, when looking at the evidence, we find each of these arguments lacks empirical support," says one sociologist in US News and World Report.
SB 1070 Decision Likely Next Month "The Supreme Court will likely hand down a decision regarding Arizona's controversial immigration law, SB 1070, in late June, according to the Associated Press. One never knows when the Supreme Court will pronounce its last, often biggest, opinions of the term. But the justices' summer travel schedules make it a pretty safe bet that blockbuster health care and immigration cases will be decided by the end of next month," Fox News Latino writes.
Mass. Legislation Targets Illegal Alien Drivers "Prompted by three traffic deaths involving illegal immigrants in Milford since 2009, a group of lawmakers is pushing legislation that would create stiffer penalties for unlicensed drivers and make it harder for illegal immigrants to find work and housing," the Metro West News writes. "The bill, filed last September by Fernandes, Rep. George Peterson, R-Grafton, and Sens. Richard Moore, D-Uxbridge, and Bruce Tarr, R-Gloucester, would raise the current fines of $100 to $1,000 for anyone driving without a license. The bill would create a $500 fine for a first offense, $500 to $1,000 fine and/or a 30-day jail term for a second offense, and $1,000 to $2,000 fine and/or a 60-day jail sentence for a third or subsequent offense."
