Deportees Find Refuge in Mexico City Barbecue Joint

The Los Angeles Times fills a lot of its prime front page acreage with illegal alien sob stories — do the editors think non-English-speakers will like the pictures, or are the news honchos appealing to liberals and their open-borders values?

But Thursday’s sob story had a happy ending, where unhappy deportees are being hired by […]

Vague Asylum Law Provides Foreign Moocher Gateway

The Los Angeles Times front-paged an article on Sunday where legal writer David Savage discussed the state of asylum law, which looks rather squishy to your humble blogger, and I assume to other non-lawyers as well.

One sees within those loosening asylum parameters the relentless hand of immigration lawyers pushing for ever more foreigners […]

U.S. Lags Behind in Robot Readiness

The topic of a recent Washington Post article is hard to dispute: the United States is not planning ahead for the coming technological revolution to the world of employment. Certainly the subject of automation with its destructive effect on jobs is ignored or rarely mentioned in the capitol city.

There was a 2016 Senate hearing […]

Robert Spencer Explains Why the Crusades Were Not an Evil Attack on Poor Innocent Muslims

Kudos to Robert Spencer for supplying a briefo history of the Crusades that obliterates the whole idiot idea that Islamophobia springs somehow from meanie Christians invading the Middle East in the Middle Ages. Jihadists would have us believe that the Crusades were an unwarranted attack upon peaceful muslims when that is not an accurate history […]

USA Today Opinion Piece: President Trump Should Tackle Automation

It’s a rare thing to see Washington suits speak up about the coming automation revolution in the workplace, so the recent opinion piece in USA Today is welcome. The writers are not exactly household names in the heartland, but a statement by Penny Pritzker, former Secretary of Commerce, and John Engler, former Governor of Michigan, […]

Plano Texas Allows Islam to Be Taught in Public Schools

Whatever happened to Plano? As a suburb of Dallas, it used to be dependably conservatively American: now the political leaders think it is fine for totalitarian Islam to be taught as a superior ideology to young minds. A recent dust up concerned city councilman Tom Harrison who called for a proper separation between church and […]

DACA Sob Stories Are a Flavor Du Jour for Mainstream Propaganda

Illegal immigration sob stories remain a popular genre for the mainstream press — they are easy to write and have built-in pathos. The young DACA illegals bring appealing victim stories, as long as the scribbler chooses carefully and avoids any embarrassing criminals. (CIS reported in January that 500 DACA criminals and gang members were still […]

Sob Story Alert! Job-Thieving Family May Be Deported

The Trump era will certainly be seen in the future as a golden age for the illegal alien sob story. After something of a fall off during the open-borders Obama administration, there has been a resurgence of the genre with increased coverage by the leftstream media, where front page coverage of illegal alien travails is […]

Kris Kobach Reminds Americans That DACA Aliens Harm Young Citizens

Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime and is theft at best (and murder at worst): illegals come to steal jobs, education and welfare benefits from American citizens and taxpayers. The latest foreign moochers in the public eye are the DACA illegals, nearly a million foreigners (79 percent from Mexico) who are the latest poster […]

Pew Research Reports a Doubling of New Foreign Students on US Campuses since 2008

Money-grubbing American colleges and universities like foreign students with fat checkbooks, so we probably shouldn’t be surprised at their numbers growing rather sharply.

What’s really scandalous is that the growth of foreign students is substantially higher at public universities — those are the institutions supported by residents’ taxes.\:

California has been one of the […]

Colleges May Not Be Training Young People for the Automated Future

Many areas of society continue to snooze through the building automation revolution in employment that is beginning to take shape, with a major gaggle of sleepers populating the halls of governance in Washington DC.

Colleges are supposed to be preparing young people for what the future needs in terms of employment skills, but higher ed […]

Fewer Foreign Students Attend US Colleges

The Associated Press reports that fewer foreigners are coming to the US to attend college, and the news organization apparently regards the decrease as a negative thing. Certainly many Californians would see having fewer foreign students on campus as a big plus, especially if there were also fewer out-of-staters — both groups that must pay […]
