July 09, 2012 Remittances to Mexico Increase "In May, Mexican workers sent home 7,096 transfers, totaling $2.34 billion. The average size of the remittances also increased over last year by 3.7 percent to $329.21. Even more impressive, Mexico's central bank reported that the amount of cash received by such transfers increased by 15.32 percent between April and May and this year," notes a post at the Examiner. "The recent figures are further evidence, that as U.S. workers are being left out of the job market in increasing numbers, illegal aliens are taking the place of their American counterparts."
Suits Against Other State Laws Continue "Lawsuits challenging Alabama's and Georgia's laws targeting illegal immigration are back before a federal appeals court as attorneys from both sides are asking judges to reconsider the crackdowns in light of a recent Supreme Court ruling. The state of Georgia filed papers by Friday's deadline with the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals arguing that its law should be upheld based on the Supreme Court ruling on a similar law enacted by Arizona," the AP reports.
Holder Speaks at La Raza Event, Praises SB 1070 Decision "The U.S. attorney general said his department wants to make sure the part of Arizona's immigration law judged constitutional does not lead to racial profiling," UPI reported. "Eric Holder told the National Council of La Raza, the nation's largest Hispanic civil rights organization, Saturday he considered the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark June 25 decision rejecting much of Arizona's immigration law 'an important step forward' because it helped 'to ensure that our nation speaks with one voice on the critical, and complex, issue of immigration.'"
The STEM Labor Market Glut "Michelle Amaral wanted to be a brain scientist to help cure diseases. She planned a traditional academic science career: PhD, university professorship and, eventually, her own lab. But three years after earning a doctorate in neuroscience, she gave up trying to find a permanent job in her field. Dropping her dream, she took an administrative position at her university, experiencing firsthand an economic reality that, at first look, is counterintuitive: There are too many laboratory scientists for too few jobs," the Washington Post writes.
