- Photos used to expel Mexicans from U.S. schools
  Posted by Shemuses
  Mexican children attending California public schools are being photographed as they cross the border, but in El Paso, that policy is deemed unnecessary and even "unfortunate" by local officials. The pictures are then used as evidence to expel students who are residents of Mexico.

- SBInet’s Project 28 behind schedule and over budget
  Posted by angliss from Scholarsandrogues
  The Department of Homeland Security's virtual border fence prototype, Project 28, has finally been conditionally delivered - way late, over budget, and with significant Congressional restrictions. Now it's time to try effective immigration controls - like improving the lives of people in their own countries.

- Un-becoming a citizen
  Posted by RussWellen from Scholarsandrogues
  "Very few Americans actually function as citizens anymore." Not only don't most of us care to be reminded of what we don't know about our government, neither have we much interest in acquiring that knowledge. Furthermore, "That foreign policy stuff is too complicated, man."

- Immigration Hardliners Try to Unhinge America
  Posted by Shemuses from Alternet
  Widespread uncertainty about immigration has splintered the U.S., creating an unnecessary panic similar to the Red Scare or the McCarthy years.

In a four-part investigative series for the Spanish-language newspaper La Opinión, reporter Claudia Núñez uncovers the lives of women involved in the human trafficking business in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and California.

  Posted by Shemuses
  As harsh immigration measures punish those that employ undocumented workers, an investigation by La Opinión newspaper found that large numbers of male day laborers are now being targeted for a different kind of underground activity: sex work.

  In all the hype surrounding the immigration debate, nothing has ever moved me as much as the recent Reuters article about the impact that stricter travel policies are having on Native American tribes.

B.C. apologizes for Komagata Maru incident

I’m all for political correctness under most circumstances, but this one kind of reeks of political pandering to me. And misplaced pandering, at that. Why apologise now for that incident, when a whole bunch of injustices perpetrated to two larger Asian immigrant populations in BC – the Chinese and Japanese – remain unanswered? Were earlier apologies for specific incidents supposed to be blanket apologies?

NPR: Bill Gates Targets Visa Rules for Tech Workers

NPR let Gates dodge most of the questions refusing to follow up or request him to answer the question they asked. Gates kept returning to his talking points.

Microsoft | Revamp visa system, Gates urges Congress | Seattle Times Newspaper

Gates seemed to laugh before he answered the question about whether more H1B visa workers depress wages in the U.S. The laugh seems like a tell to me i.e. he’s lying.
