If they are less likely to risk in a bad economy, why was there a record number of new citizens in 2008 (the year of the financial meltdown)?

Not sure if serious.

I'm guessing it might have something to do with the fact that those people arrived here prior to 2008 when the economy was better. Unless something changed and people no longer have to be legal residents for 5 years before being considered for naturalization.

LMvCP said: ↑

If they are deporting more now, then under Dubya---what does that say about his true stance on immigration and the Hispanic vote?

It says that he is enforcing laws that those on the right said he would be soft on. But as Pern pointed out, he's deported more criminals and miscreants which is a good thing.

So why hasn't anyone on the right applauded him for his efforts?

you can speculate all you want, the numbers are there. You can not say the previous administration was against immigration.

It is a good thing, but is that really the issue at hand?

because the issue at hand is jobs, jobs, jobs.

I never said the previous administration was against immigration. I'm saying the current Republican party is against immigration. The Repugs didn't go completely batshit until 2010...

LMvCP said: ↑

I don't look at just one issue. I look at several issues and on this one, he's done an admirable job.

LMvCP said: ↑

It is one of many issues and one of many that I have zero confidence in Republicans to fix.

People don't like Obama because it's easier to blame one person (and because its very fashionable) but the biggest problem is Congress, specifically the House of Representatives. Look at the approval ratings for the President and for each House of Congress.

I read this article on Breitbart, but decided to post the original source just to give it more veracity. We all know that Breitbart is persona-non-grata in the journo world. At one point, he was spectacular, he was a liberal contributer helping Arianna Huffington with her website, but as he grew older, he became wiser and more conservative....

Records: Prof profited by buying, selling homes

Elizabeth Warren, who has railed against predatory banks and heartless foreclosures, took part in about a dozen Oklahoma real estate deals that netted her and her family hefty profits through maneuvers such as “flipping” properties, records show.

A Herald review has found that the Democratic U.S. Senate candidate rapidly bought and sold homes herself, loaned money at high interest rates to relatives and purchased foreclosed properties at bargain prices. Land records from Warren’s native Oklahoma City show the Harvard professor was active in the often topsy-turvy real estate market in the 1990s, including........
....

Warren’s campaign issued a statement last night: “Elizabeth and (her husband) Bruce are fortunate to be in a position where they can help their family. They have been able to help relatives buy their homes and her nephew — a contractor — fix up houses.”

However, Warren and her family’s private investments don’t seem to square with her public statements about the latest real estate boom and bust. “We are in the midst of one of the greatest economic crises in our country’s history — a crisis that began one lousy mortgage at a time,” the Democrat wrote on her campaign website, which also decries “a deregulated credit industry (that) squeezed families harder, hawking dangerous mortgages.”

Occupiers Claim PTSD Spreading Through Ranks

The insulated, self-important Occupy protesters – with whom Chicago Teachers Union leaders recently declared their “front and center” allegiance – risk developing post traumatic stress disorder, according to their leaders.

All of that daily pouting and shouting can really wear on a soul, they say. And the best way to deal with it is to have a good cry.

One document published by Occupy Chicago, titled “Responding to Trauma in Protests and Mass Mobilizations: Supporting Yourself and Others to Cope with Traumatic Incidents,” begins:

Factors that place us at greater risk for post-traumatic stress are having a history of abuse, not getting support that we need from our allies, and being separated from others, either during or following the action. Because abuse is pervasive in this culture, learning to heal from and integrate our traumatic experiences in action can empower us to live our lives more fully every day.

some of the warning signs that these poor occupiers may display if they have PTSD

- Feeling “emotionally numb.”
- Crying uncontrollably.
- Isolating oneself from family and friends and avoiding social situations.
- Relying increasingly on alcohol or drugs to get through the day.
- Feeling extremely moody, irritable, angry, suspicious or frightened.
- Feeling overwhelmed by what would normally be considered everyday situations and diminished interest in performing normal tasks or pursuing usual interests.
- Feeling guilty about surviving the event or being unable to solve the problem, change the event or prevent the disaster.
- Feeling fears and sense of doom about the future.

Florida Pol Introduces GOP Alternative to DREAM Act (And It's Not Marco Rubio)

The Republican Party is officially dreaming.

Rep. David Rivera, a Southern Florida Republican, introduced a conservative alternative to the DREAM Act to Congress on Wednesday, ahead of rising GOP star Marco Rubio's version.

Rivera’s bill, “Studying Towards Adjusted Residency Status Act,” or STARS, would allow some undocumented students who enroll for college to stay in the country legally and eventually apply for citizenship.

Under the proposal, undocumented immigrants under the age of 19, who arrived in the country before the age of 16, could apply for a five-year nonimmigrant visa if they demonstrate “good moral conduct” and get admitted to college. Upon graduation, they could apply for a five-year visa renewal.

If successful, the applicant could then apply for permanent residency, and eventually citizenship. The bill adopts the concept behind the DREAM Act, but would apply to a smaller group of people, addressing the criticism leveled by conservatives that the DREAM Act would allow too many newcomers to become citizens and cause an increase in chain migration.

STARS does not benefit undocumented immigrants who serve in the military, though Rivera filed a separate bill in January that does.

Unemployment Jumps to 11 Percent Among Latinos, Report Says

he national unemployment rate for Latinos rose to a bleak 11 percent in May, almost 3 points higher than the national average of 8.2 percent, according to new numbers released Friday by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics.

Since the last report, the Hispanic unemployment rate increased from 10.3 Percent to 11.0 Percent. The American economy added just 69,000 jobs overall last month which is well below expectations made by many leading economists and analysts who expected over 150, 000 new jobs. It was the lowest amount in nearly a year. "It is clear that President Obama still hasn't delivered to the American people, especially the Hispanic community on the most important issue facing the country,” Jennifer Korn, Executive Director of the Hispanic Leadership Network, a conservative-leaning group, said in a press release. “Hispanics are still experiencing an all-time high unemployment rate of 11.0 percent. Mr. President where are the jobs?"

This Bright-Eyed Young Man Was Utterly Demolished by Student Loans

Even as total outstanding student debt rises to $1 trillion, lawmakers have yet to allow loans to be discharged in bankruptcy. Without an escape clause, these loans can strangle a person.

Take 36-year-old Nick Keith, who remains $142,000 in debt eight years after graduating from culinary school. He's featured in a new film, "Default: The Student Loan Documentary," in which several college graduates expose the pitfalls of the private student loan industry.

"I want to educate the public about the facts," Keith said. "My life has become a daily swim in a tar pit with very little hope of ever getting out."

He should have listened to his pops... he should have pursued engineering

he could have work at a restaurant during his undergraduate years (if cooking was his passion)....

Michigan Rep. Thaddeus McCotter's Messy Campaign Failure

The Michigan Secretary of State's office announced last week that of the 1,833 signatures McCotter's campaign submitted to qualify for the GOP primary ballot, only 244 were valid. Hundreds of the signatures were apparently photocopied, digitally altered and re-pasted multiple
times onto blank petition forms, said Fred Woodhams, a spokesman for the Michigan State Department.

What a shocker repus doing things illegally.

Voter ID advocate fails to name single instance of voter fraud

Appearing on MSNBC on Monday morning, Heritage Foundation senior fellow Brian Darling tried to advocate on behalf of Republicans’ efforts in several to purge allegedly fraudulent voters from the rolls ahead of the 2012 presidential election.
However, under questioning Darling was unable to cite a single verified instance of actual voter fraud, leading host Chuck Todd to declare that he was “actually proving” Democrats’ contention that the Republican Party’s actions are unnecessary.

Rob Portman's Solyndra: Why is the GOP's VP Darling Begging For a Bailout?

But recently, Portman seems to have changed his tune. The project he’s now backing for a loan guarantee is far from compelling. The American Centrifuge Project (ACP) is a uranium-enrichment facility in Piketon, Ohio seeking a $2 billion loan guarantee to commercialize its dicey technology.

All politics are local ... it's like RDL's view on the role of government, exactly.

The distortion caused by gov't meddling is bad news unless done in one's favor.
