Rubio at GOP Debate — Amnesty isn’t Amnesty

By Chris Chmielenski

!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n; n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version=’2.0′;n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,’script’,’//connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js’); fbq(‘init’, ‘735838543131367’); fbq(‘track’, ‘ViewContent’); fbq(‘track’, “PageView”); No one was quite sure how the absence of GOP frontrunner Donald Trump would affect Thursday night’s Fox News debate stage, but his absence allowed the debate moderators to focus most of the immigration segment on Sen. Marco Rubio’s role in the Gang of … Continued

E-Verify Opponent’s Faulty Data & Logic For Scrapping Immigration Enforcement

By Jeremy Beck

E-Verify’s detractors typically oppose the belief held by Barbara Jordan and most Americans that citizens and legal immigrants already here have a greater right to U.S. jobs than job-seekers in the country illegally. Yet they often attempt to undermine E-Verify by predicting massive job losses for American workers. Such is the case in an analysis from the Cato Institute, “Checking E-Verify The Costs and Consequences of a National Worker Screening Mandate.”

Encouraging signs for overlooked American workers

By Jeremy Beck

Now we are getting somewhere. Last week, I expressed hope that the New York Times’ series on Disney workers who were forced to train their foreign replacements would lead to similar reporting on less-skilled American workers harmed by policies of mass immigration. The New York Times hasn’t come through yet but others have. In an … Continued

Major breakthrough in MSM coverage of displaced American IT workers

By Jeremy Beck

Yesterday afternoon, the New York Times published a blockbuster story, “Last Task After Disney Layoffs: Train Foreign Replacements,” by Julia Preston. As readers of Computerworld know, this not a new story. Local Orlando stations broke the news in January. In fact, the stories of Americans being forced to train their foreign replacements have been around … Continued

More self-censoring by media of wage & immigration connections

By Roy Beck

“U.S. Workers Ask: Where’s My Raise?” proclaims the Wall Street Journal in a serious June 3 analysis of many reasons for the stagnant wage situation for millions of Americans. But, as usual for mainstream media, the Journal totally ignored one of the most obvious factors: out-of-control immigration that adds to the country’s giant labor surplus … Continued

TPA ‘Safeguards’ Won’t Protect American Workers

By Admins

Proponents of Trade Promotion Authority legislation say built-in “safeguards” will allow Congress to protect American workers from the adverse impacts of immigration provisions in trade deals. But they know these safeguards are mere window dressing when a president refuses to be bound by the law and has latitude under a “living agreement” such as the … Continued

Bill Clinton’s Immigration ‘Credibility’ Test

By Andrew Good

Last week media outlets grey and green, left and right, and with varying focuses breathlessly reported President Clinton’s bland statements of questionable newsworthiness on the important topic of immigration. Perhaps the pent-up ink is due to the epic (but unsurprising) lack of interaction with Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton. The President has clearly been the more … Continued

You keep using that poll. I do not think it means what you think it means

By Jeremy Beck

Ever since Scott Walker name-dropped Jeff Sessions, the question of immigration levels – and whether they should be increased, decreased, or left the same – has occasionally creeped into the national immigration conversation. We should have had this debate two years ago, when a gang of eight Senators introduced legislation to double future immigration, but … Continued

New York Times readers respond to Clinton promise to go further than Obama on executive immigration actions

By Jeremy Beck

The editorial board of the New York Times took a cautiously favorable view of Hillary Clinton’s promise to take President Obama’s executive actions on immigration further than his administration believes is within the law. The editorial and Clinton’s comments define the immigration debate as strictly a question of what to do with the 11 million … Continued
