June 22, 2012 Krauthammer: Naked Lawlessness by Obama "With a single Homeland Security Department memo, the immigration laws no longer apply to 800,000 people. By what justification? Prosecutorial discretion, says Janet Napolitano. This is utter nonsense. Prosecutorial discretion is the application on a case-by-case basis of considerations of extreme and extenuating circumstances. No one is going to deport, say, a 29-year-old illegal immigrant whose parents had just died in some ghastly accident and who is the sole support for a disabled younger sister and ailing granny. That's what prosecutorial discretion is for," says Charles Krauthammer.
Obama to Address Hispanic Group Today "Enjoying the aftermath of his breakthrough directive on illegal immigration and looking to press his jobs agenda, President Barack Obama will address Hispanic leaders in Orlando a day after they gave a cool reception to GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney and his newly softened stance on immigration," Fox News Latino says. "The president was to speak to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials on Friday near Orlando, his first speech to a Hispanic group since he decreed that many young undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children would be exempted from deportation and granted work permits valid for two years."
H-1b, STEM Visas Increases Boosted Asian Immigration Rate "The H-1B visa is the visa that affords its holder the ability to have "dual intent;" that is, the holder of the H-1B can intend to reside in the U.S. permanently by applying for lawful permanent residence, despite the otherwise temporary nature of the visa. Nevertheless, it has become increasingly difficult for employers to sponsor their employees for H-1B visas. This is largely due to increasingly exhaustive review of such applications by the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)," notes an immigration attorney in the Washington Post. "The STEM Designated Degree Program gives an added advantage to foreign students who come to this country to pursue bachelor's degrees or higher studies in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) as F-1 nonimmigrant students."
PA Legislators OK Legal Status Check for Benefits "A BILL requiring people to prove they are in the country lawfully in order to receive public benefits passed the state House on Thursday. Senate Bill 9 has already passed the Senate, but before it ends up on the desk of Gov. Corbett, it must be considered by that body again because of amendments the House made to it," Philly.com reported.
