Each month, the feds give out about 160,000 first-time permanent and temporary work permits to working-age foreign citizens.

The 160,000 working-age foreign citizens are divided almost equally into those getting permanent work permits through green cards and those getting temporary work permits each month.

Of the immigrants aged 18-65 who get permanent work permits each month, about 35,000 of them were already working in the U.S. on previous temporary work permits.

Thus, the NET figure is 160,000 minus 35,000 equals about 125,000 foreign citizens who are getting a work permit for the first time each month. RIGHT NOW!

Dallas would-be bomber Hosam Smadi: The case for 287(g) and exit tracking

The case of 19-year-old Jordanian would-be terrorist Hosam Smadi points to the value of a viable, robust exit-tracking program that would verify that a foreign national has departed the United States. This was the message of a front-page New York Times story entitled, accurately enough, “U.S. Can’t Trace Foreign Visitors on Expired Visas.”

The records show Stern had 22 meetings, many face-to-face with the president, more than anyone else known so far. Stern might as well borrow a White House bedroom…

From CBS ATLANTA TV 46 Website in reaction to news segments aired on illegal immigration:

A metro area attorney explains his position on illegal aliens, the south, Georgians and American work ethic…

Well, let’s get a few facts straight. It is not a crime ( note from D.A.- “crime” defined here) to be in the United States without papers. It is illegal but not criminal. So please don’t repeat ignorant racist garbage by know nothing rednecks. All you are doing is promoting scapegoating for problems not the consequence of Mexicans here illegally. Its funny.

The biggest problem with illegals is that they out work lazy locals who don’t the meaning of the word work. Where I grew up, southern Idaho, farm labor was performed by legal and illegal Mexican workers as well as locals. Let’s get one of those white trailer trash rednecks to spend a day in the fields hoeing sugar beets. The workers get paid by the acre, not the hour. So the harder you work, the more the pay. A native Georgian wouldn’t last half a day working at the pace Mexicans work. For a place where the quality of work is mostly substandard when performed by locals, there is sure is a lot of fury and noise.

Anyone will tell you that southern contractors are the worst home builders in America. The junk they build wouldn’t pass muster anywhere but the South. So, let your white trailer trash redneck whiners have their say. I have no problem with people who work hard. And that describes most illegals in this country. Why is it that southerners always have to have a boogey man so they can excuse their own considerable shortcomings.

This place is always and remains on the wrong side of history.

One-third of Mexican people want to come to the U.S.

As Obama and the Democrats push for Amnesty 9 for 13-20 million illegal aliens, it is instructive to notice the context of their demands. All amnesties starting with 1986 IRCA have INCREASED the flow of illegal aliens contrary to politicians stated purpose. Since 60% of illegal aliens are from Mexico, a Zogby International Poll (14 Oct. 2009) in Mexico is instructive…

Crisis has not halted migration hope of poor: GallupMon Nov 2, 2009 8:47am EST Email | Print | Share| Reprints | Single Page[-] Text [+]

ATHENS (Reuters) – The global economic recession has not curbed the desire of the world’s poor to seek a better future by migrating, Gallup Inc. said on Monday after carrying out a worldwide poll.

Around 700 million adults, some 16 percent of the world’s adult population, would move permanently to another country if they had the opportunity, Gallup said in a survey of 135 countries issued at a migration conference in Athens.

“In most countries, people’s desire to relocate did not decrease meaningfully after the global economic crisis hit in 2008,” said Neli Esipova, the polling agency’s director of research for global migration.

Almost eight of ten respondents who said they would like to emigrate were in a developing country, the poll showed. The vast majority of the latter said they would like to live in a developed country.

The United States is migrants’ top destination, with 165 million people expressing the desire to move there, Esipova said.

Britain, France, Spain and Saudi Arabia were distant runners-up, less than 50 million people saying they would like to live in each of them.

If all the would-be migrants acted on their desire, some rich countries would see their population swell and some poor ones would be depleted, Gallup said.
