Dream Act: Obama passes amnesty by executive order

admin - Saturday, 31 December 2011 09:43

Anderson Cooper Keeping Them Honest …goes beyond the headlines to tell stories from many points of view, so you can make up your own mind about the news.” If that’s the truth, let’s hear a report on this please: In June, with no fanfare, no press coverage, and with every effort made to hide his actions from the American people, President Obama enacted the DREAM Act by executive order. Opposed by a majority of the American people and twice defeated in Congress, the DREAM Act grants amnesty to any illegal alien residing in the United States if s/he agrees to enlist in the U.S. military or enter college. The Obama administration memo from the John Morton, Director of I.C.E. (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) directs I.C.E. agents now to use prosecutorial discretion with regard to enforcing immigration laws.. Director Morton says that Obama Administration policy directs border patrol agents not to enforce immigration laws: When ICE favorably exercises prosecutorial discretion, it essentially decides not to assert the full scope of the enforcement authority available to the agency. You read that right. According to the Obama administration favorable enforcement means NOT enforcing the law! According to one of the first press reports to break this important story, the new Obama policy is cut and dried: federal immigration officials do not have to deport illegal aliens if they are enrolled in any type of education program, if their family members have volunteered for U.S. military service, or even if they are pregnant or nursing. ALSO: Just recently Obama?s Department of Justice (DOJ) blocked Arizona from enforcing its voter ID law. Arizona is one if not the biggest portal of illegal immigration in the nation with half a million illegal aliens coming through the sate annually. Arizona’s Attorney General Tom Horne recently stated that he believed that blocking of the law facilitated massive voter fraud by illegal aliens. Attorney General Tom Horne accused the Obama administration Tuesday of trying to thwart Arizona’s voter-ID laws in a bid to get more illegal immigrants to the polls presumably to cast ballots for the president and Democrats. Horne acknowledged that a brief filed by the Department of Justice in a case to be heard next month by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals centers around the agency’s argument that Arizona’s law requiring proof of citizenship to register is pre-empted by federal law. But Horne, a Republican, told Capitol Media Services he sees something more sinister, ……The 2012 presidential elections. First we have amnesty passed by executive order then we have President Obama’s DOJ blocking voter ID in Arizona. What could possibly be the president’s motive? This story has the potential to bring the Obama Administration to its knees. The momentum can be on our side and just e-mailing it to others can create a critical mass. Don’t assume you have no power. You do! MORE: Who needs Congressional authority when you can govern by executive fiat? A new enforcement memo handed down by the director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement last week has some accusing the White House of running around Congress to implement the DREAM Act and consequent amnesty for some illegal immigrants by executive fiat. The new memo, penned by ICE Director John Morton, directs ICE agents, attorneys and directors to exercise prosecutorial discretion meaningless likelihood of deportation for illegal aliens who have been student in the U.S., who have been in the country since childhood or who have served in the American military. Morton’s excuse for the memo?? not enough resources: Specifically, the memo argues, Because the agency is confronted with more violations than its resources can address, the agency must regularly exercise prosecutorial discretion. Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer calls this maneuver a Constitutional breech pointing out that it is Congress’s responsibility to enact laws: This is outright lawlessness on the part of the administration, argued syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer on a discussion panel with Fox News anchor Chris Wallace. Whatever the politics of this, we do have a Constitution. And under it, the Legislature, the Congress enacts the laws and the executive executes them. It doesn’t make them up. The DREAM Act was rejected by Congress, Krauthammer continued. It is now being enacted by the executive, despite the express will of the Congress. That is lawless. It may not be an explicit executive order; it’s an implicit one. The Obama administration IS explicitly running an end-run around the will of people and their representative government. First Libya and now this. What’s next Mr. President? Update: It appears John Ransom at Townhall saw this coming. John posted this on May 12th titled Crass and Cynical on Illegal Immigration. The guy who rushed out to get trillions for banks, big pharmaceuticals and unions, practically ignored the topic of immigration reform when his guys ran Congress for two years and could have written their own version.. Indeed one of his wise-guys from Chicago, Rep Luis Gutierrez recently noted [Obama] has the power to make things better right now without the Congress having to pass any new laws. YES…. he can just do what he did for gays, unions, Chicago and all of his other cronies: He can ignore enforcing the old laws he doesn’t like. Or maybe he can grant every illegal immigrant a waiver, like he did for his favorites under healthcare reform. AGAIN: What could possibly be the president’s motive? This story has the potential to bring the Obama Administration to its knees. The momentum can be on our side and just e-mailing it to others can create a critical mass. Don’t assume you have no power. You do! Especially Anderson Cooper Keeping Them Honest – you have the chance to bring this story to the masses, to do what’s right – and bring back responsible, unbiased journalism… http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/arizona/politics/article_0f8873ac-9157-11e0-b5be-001cc4c002e0.html http://www.scribd.com/doc/58465866/Prosecutorial-Discretion-Morton-Second-Memo-June-17-2011 Read More

Increasing Quantity of STD Cases a Rising Concern

admin - Saturday, 31 December 2011 08:52

Health Department Advisers are nervous over newly released reports that signify an increase in the quantity of STD infections being reported. While the increase may not seem to be worrying to some, any increase in the number of recorded cases can be combined with a surge in unreported transmissions. While a central problem was formerly a lack of easily available STD testing, that is no longer the case with the ever increasing number of ways that people can access std testing in Chicago. Both the state and community health departments have attempted to make inexpensive testing accessible to people of all income levels, and confidential testing providers have also been a good source for confidential STD testing services. “Right now there appears to be a preconception that if you aren’t displaying any signs and symptoms, then you aren’t infected.” stated one area official. “Nevertheless, any expert will tell you that most STDs show virtually no symptoms, even though the chance of spreading is just the same.” The only way to curtail this rapid growth is for all at risk people to obtain regular STD testing for all major infections. If you think you are at risk, or simply do not know, the best measure is to contact your local health department or explore online for “STD testing services” in order to locate a local medical laboratory that can evaluate your level of risk.

The Advantages of Invoice Discounting and Factoring

admin - Saturday, 31 December 2011 08:45

When it comes to invoice funding, there are two major types. The first is invoice discounting which is a process that allows businesses to borrow money from invoice discounting companies against unpaid invoices. The invoices are used as security by the companies. With invoice discounting, the collection of payments lies solely with the business owner. The second type is factoring. This is whereby the business sells the unpaid invoices to a third party for a discount. This sale enables the business to get immediate business finance. However, with factoring, the debt of the invoices is then carried by the company that offers the cashflow finance.

There are several advantages that one could benefit from by engaging in invoice discounting services or factoring services. Both invoice discounting services and factoring services provide immediate cashflow finance for the business. This is pertinent for businesses that may be lagging in working capital. For example, if the business has outstanding invoices from customers of about a hundred thousand dollars, the business can at least get about eighty thousand dollars in cashflow finance.

In addition to this, the main lenders tend to have the latest information pertaining to the credit worthiness of the business’ customers and this enables the business owner to try and negotiate better terms with the suppliers that the business owner does transactions with. By using invoice discounting or factoring services, you can rest assured that you will get the cashflow finance that you require as soon as possible enabling you to inject it back into your business in the shortest time possible.

Greatest Bang-For-The-Buck Autos Available At $10,000 to $15,000

admin - Saturday, 31 December 2011 08:44

If you are searching for a new car that doesn’t eat up a lot of gas and does not cost much to repair, you really should look at cars in the $10,000 to $15,000 range. It must also have 4/5 doors and it probably should not be a large car.

A good and economical way to purchase a car within this range in price is to investigate online about the multiple sources that are available. There are many auto transporter that can help you relocate an auto that you can fin online to your door steps. Of course depending on automobile transport prices, type of services and eventually overall service, one needs to narrow down his choice. One excellent way is to request multiple car moving quotes from several of these vendors and see what kind of report you can get.

You will likely get yourself a car that uses gasoline. Possibly the leading gas powered car with regards to fuel efficiency is Toyota’s Yaris. However you also can choose a diesel car as well.

If you are able to afford a new car, you might get a brand new Corsa, Astra, Opel or Renault Clio between the price range of 8,000 to 10,000 Euros. You may also consider buying a second-hand car with 60 000 – 140 000 kilometers.

If you can spend $12,000 or more for a car, you could get a well outfitted Mazda 6, Opel Astra or a Hyundai Accent. You can also seek out a Toyota Yaris on gas, but it will be hard. There are also late model BMWs that can be obtained for that price but they do eat up gas.

When you have more than 13 000 dollars, you can certainly think about new cars. A particular car to consider at this price is the Mitsubishi Colt but it does have a noisy interior. Also, you will possibly not have the opportunity to get a good resale price later on.

An additional great but small car is the Suzuki Swift. There is sufficient room for the driver but for the remainder of the car, it’s a bit cramped. The only real cost-effective engine is the one of 1.25 on gas, but it is a little lazy, which is not a real great feature, especially for a new car.

The Hyundai Accent 1.5 is actually one more car with ordinary optional features and a respectable warranty. The Hyundai support is excellent, and they are also providing warranty for any new car in the limit of 100 000 kilometers or 5 years.

An additional solid car would be the Skoda Fabia which has a rather peppy 68 HP engine. The only real draw back would be the service is not thought to be very good and you may have trouble getting it repaired at your local garage.

A brand new Renault Clio using an engine of 1.5 and 65 horse power has enough room for bigger persons. It features an typical consumption of 5.4 liters/100 km in the city but it will consume less than 3.8 if you are going on a straight road at 90 kilometers/hour. One thing is certain: if you are searching for reduced consumptions, you will need to ignore the high performance cars. But many of these kinds of cars can go as high at 120 km/h without very much trouble. In this instance, the consumption goes over 4.l/km, but it will not go more than 7-8.
