July 31, 2012 1 in 6 Illegal Aliens Re-Arrested for Another Crime After Release "Roughly one in six illegal immigrants is re-arrested on criminal charges within three years of release, according to new government data being released Tuesday. The findings, obtained by Fox News, are contained in reports by the Republican-controlled House Judiciary Committee and nonpartisan Congressional Research Service. They are the result of the committee's subpoena request for Department of Homeland Security records from October 2008 to July 2011," Fox News writes.
Court Puts Hold on Challenges to DOMA Visa Prohibition "As long as the Defense of Marriage Act is in effect, same-sex binational couples won't be able to petition for the foreign-born partner to receive legal status. In the meantime, though, a group pushing the Obama administration to delay decisions on green card applications won a small victory last week when a judge ordered a stay on its lawsuit against the government," says the Huffington Post.
H-1B Advocate: Protectionism Keeping Skilled Workers Out "One of the most contentious issues in the skilled-immigrant debate is the H-1B visa, which allows qualified immigrants to work for U.S. tech companies on a temporary basis. Proponents of raising the H1-B visa cap say the nation faces a dire shortage of engineering talent and needs more of these visas to stay competitive. Detractors insist that there is no engineer shortage and that America should close its doors to foreigners because they take jobs away from citizens," says Vivek Wadhwa, a long-time backer of swamping U.S. workers with H-1b visas.
Deportation Filings Drop 10% From Last Year "Court filings for deportations of illegal immigrants have fallen this year, but the agency responsible for carrying out removals contends the number of illegal immigrants sent out of the country is much higher than court records show. Court filings, compiled by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University, found that in the first nine months of this year, filings for deportations dropped to 142,117 cases nationally. If filings continue at the same pace for the remainder of the year, they would total 212,749 cases for 2012. That is a 10 percent drop -- or 24,000 fewer cases -- from 2011," the Denver Post writes.
Illegal Farmworker Killed in NY DUI "The men involved in Saturday night's crash in the Town of Ellisburg were apparently in the country illegally, according to a Jefferson County sheriff's detective. Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies say 33 year old Rafael Espinoza of Quintana Roo, Mexico, died when the pickup truck he was in flipped over several times after the driver lost control on the Lake Road around 9:30 p.m," WNYTV reports.
