Illegal Aliens Commit More Crimes

Sharyl Attkisson, a writer for The Hill, notes that "criminal aliens" -- offenders whose crimes don't include immigration law violations -- "make up a disproportionate number of inmates in our prisons and jails. Seeing the numbers, one might fairly deduce that they commit serious crimes at a significantly higher number than those in the U.S. legally."

House to Vote on Illegal Alien Voting

Breitbart News reports that  the U.S. House will vote on a resolution this week to condemn voting by illegal aliens in local elections. The resolution, introduced by House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), is in response to actions of several cities, including San Francisco and Boston, to provide this ballot option to illegal aliens. McCarthy observed that "These radical policies weaken the voting power of law-abiding Americans, including naturalized citizens." Breitbart notes that "[If] the Democrats oppose this measure en mass, as they are expected to, it will draw a clear contrast with Republicans ahead of the all-important midterm elections."

Nearly Half Don’t Speak English in Largest U.S. Cities

A study by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), citing U.S. Census Bureau for 2017, found that almost half of residents of the five largest U.S. cities (48.2 percent) speak a language other than English at home. Among other findings of the study: "In 2017, a record 66.6 million U.S. residents (native-born, legal immigrants, and illegal immigrants) ages five and older spoke a language other than English at home. The number has more than doubled since 1990, and almost tripled since 1980. As a share of the population, 21.8 percent of U.S. residents speak a foreign language at home — roughly double the 11 percent in 1980."

Trump Proposes Payment to Mexico

The Trump Administration is planning to allocate $20 million in foreign aid funding to Mexico. The money would help the Mexican government deport Central Americans in Mexico, many of whom are trying  to reach the United States. According to The New York Times, "The plan .  .  . is part of a broader push by the Trump Administration to redirect billions in foreign assistance to other priorities." 

IT Staffing Companies Sued

A class-action lawsuit accuses Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. of bias against American workers. It is one of seven lawsuits alleging that Tata and other IT (information technology) staffing companies are favoring foreign H1-B visa holders over qualified Americans. If these legal actions are successful, they could have a significant impact on IT employment.

Mass Immigration Continues to Surge

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. foreign-born population (legal and illegal immigrants) reached 44.5 million in July of 2017. This amounts to 13.7 percent of the population, or nearly one out of every seven U.S. residents. As recently as 1980, the ratio of foreign-born to native-born was just one out of sixteen.  In recent years, the primary sources of immigration have been from non-Mexico Latin America, Asia, and Africa.

Dalai Lama: Europe for Europeans

The Dalai Lama, the Tibetan spiritual leader who won the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize, affirmed in Malmo, Sweden, that Europeans have an obligation to help refugees who face "danger against their [lives]" -- but with the understanding that "Europe belongs to the Europeans." He added that those refugees should eventually return home to rebuild their own countries.  The Dali Lama fled Tibet in 1959 following the Chinese takeover of his country. Since that time, the influx of Chinese has threatened to submerge the Tibetan people and their culture.

Border Crossings Rise

The number of illegal alien families from Central America arrested on the border sharply increased in August. Illegal alien adults bring children with them because they believe this will incline the government to release them if they are apprehended. Children now can only be held for a limited time. Before that time expires the government may feel inclined release the adults with the promise that they will show up their asylum hearing--a promise often not kept.  The Trump Administration is trying to end this incentive for release by keeping the children in detention with their parents until the parents' claims for asylum are decided. 

Carlson Questions Diversity

Fox News host Tucker Carlson raised some questions on his show about the often-repeated slogan that "diversity is our strength." one of them was:   "[H]ow precisely is diversity our strength? Since you have made this our new national motto, please be specific as you explain it. Can you think, for example, of other institutions such as, I don't know, marriage or military units in which the less people have in common, the more cohesive they are? Do you get along better with your coworkers if you can't understand each other and share no common values? Please be honest as you answer this question."
