\nSubsidizing Sanctuaries: The State Criminal Alien Assistance Program
\nBy Jessica Vaughan and Russ Doubleday
\nCIS Memorandum, November 2010
\nhttp:\/\/www.cis.org\/subsidizing-sanctuaries<\/a> <\/p>\n

Excerpt: The Department of Justice annually awards millions of dollars in grants to local governments to compensate for the cost of jailing illegal aliens,<\/p>\n

even when those governments have policies obstructing immigration law enforcement or encouraging illegal settlement. In 2010, the grant program, known as the<\/p>\n

State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP), doled out a total of roughly $400 million to about 850 cities, counties, and states. Among them were 27<\/p>\n

jurisdictions widely considered to be sanctuary jurisdictions, which together received more than $62.6 million, or 15.6 percent of the total (see Table 1).<\/p>\n

For example, the 2010 SCAAP grantees include some jurisdictions \u2014 such as San Francisco, Chicago, Santa Clara County, Calif., and Arlington, Va. \u2014 that are<\/p>\n

trying to opt-out of Secure Communities, the program that automatically flags criminal aliens for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) attention at the<\/p>\n

time they are booked into jail.<\/p>\n

\nA Big Win for Immigration Control and Hispanic Outreach
\nBy Mark Krikorian
\nNational Review Online, November 4, 2010
\nhttp:\/\/www.cis.org\/node\/2386<\/a> <\/p>\n

Excerpt: The president of the League of United Latin American Citizens issued a statement in the wake of Tuesday\u2019s elections: \u201cThe elections of 2010 are<\/p>\n

further proof of the power of the Latino vote.\u201d In fact, though, the elections are further proof that Hispanic Americans are Americans, and that amnesty<\/p>\n

isn\u2019t a winning political issue even among them.<\/p>\n

\nTerror reboots: Cargo plot reveals a new terror calling card
\nBy Janice Kephart
\nWashington Times, November 5, 2010
\nhttp:\/\/www.cis.org\/node\/2390<\/a> <\/p>\n

Excerpt: While al Qaeda’s obsession with trains, planes and automobiles gets another blow – this time from what some are calling a first-ever tip from a <\/p>\n

double agent placed inside al Qaeda by Saudi Arabia – no one is noticing that al Qaeda’s recent cargo plot left out a suicide bomber. Or, at least, no one is<\/p>\n

talking about it.<\/p>\n

\nLetter: Jews hardening on illegal immigration
\nBy Stephen Steinlight
\nJewish Telegraphic Agency, October 30, 2010
\nhttp:\/\/www.cis.org\/node\/2385<\/a> <\/p>\n

Excerpt: AJC\u2019s raison d\u2019etre is protecting Jews in perilous times. If political correctness takes precedence over getting facts straight, it can\u2019t. <\/p>\n

\nThe President’s Post-Election Press Conference and the Dog That Didn’t Bark
\nBy Stanley Renshon
\nCIS Blog, November 7, 2010
\nhttp:\/\/www.cis.org\/renshon\/dog-that-didnt-bark<\/a> <\/p>\n

Excerpt: In one of the most widely known deductions in the Sherlock Holmes mysteries oeuvre, the famously logical detective realized that the fact that a<\/p>\n

guard dog didn’t bark meant he must have known the killer. <\/p>\n

Which brings us to the president’s post election press conference. <\/p>\n

\nNot All Overseas Immigration Policy Ideas Are Good Ones
\nBy David North
\nCIS Blog, November 7, 2010
\nhttp:\/\/www.cis.org\/north\/belize-amnesty<\/a> <\/p>\n

Excerpt: From time to time I have suggested that some other nations have great immigration policy ideas, as in the case of Australia’s linkage of population<\/p>\n

and migration policies touched on in an earlier blog. <\/p>\n

But this is not always the case.<\/p>\n

Belize (the former British Honduras) presents an excellent example this week of how not to shape an immigration policy.<\/p>\n

\nIllegal-Alien Gang Member Convicted for Execution Slayings in N.J.
\nBy Jon Feere
\nCIS Blog, November 7, 2010
\nhttp:\/\/www.cis.org\/feere\/illegal-alien-murderer-convicted<\/a> <\/p>\n

Excerpt: The open-border media is reporting, seemingly begrudgingly and with as little detail as possible, the conviction of Honduran illegal alien Melvin<\/p>\n

Jovel for the execution-style murders of three New Jersey college students in 2007. This horrific crime doesn’t fit nicely into the open-border media’s<\/p>\n

amnesty agenda.<\/p>\n

\nInept Law Enforcement: A Tale of Two Illegal-Alien Murderers
\nBy David North
\nCIS Blog, November 5, 2010
\nhttp:\/\/www.cis.org\/north\/inept-law-enforcement<\/a> <\/p>\n

Excerpt: ICE, like other government agencies, typically issues press releases when it wants the world to know about its accomplishments. (I know, I used to<\/p>\n

write such material for the U.S. Department of the Interior.) <\/p>\n

The apparent narrative, in this instance, is that ICE found two illegal aliens accused of murder in their home countries, and deported them. So far, so good.<\/p>\n

\nCIS Blog, November 4, 2010
\nhttp:\/\/www.cis.org\/krikorian\/election-eve-poll<\/a> <\/p>\n

Excerpt: The amnesty crowd is hawking a new fable \u2014 that a massive margin among Hispanics saved Harry Reid . . .<\/p>\n

\nImmigration Decision-Makers: Upcoming Committee Changes
\nBy David North
\nCIS Blog, November 3, 2010
\nhttp:\/\/www.cis.org\/north\/upcoming-committee-changes<\/a> <\/p>\n

Excerpt: How the election of 2010 will \u2013 or will not \u2013 alter the nation’s immigration policies is not yet known, but we do know that it will shake up the<\/p>\n

array of decision-makers in the House, and will leave those in the Senate untouched.<\/p>\n

On an issue as complex as immigration policy, the congressional subcommittee members play key roles; the subcommittee members know the issues better than<\/p>\n

their colleagues, and shape the proposed legislation, so who they are is significant . . .<\/p>\n

\nNon-citizen Voting \u2013 RIP, Again
\nBy Stanley Renshon
\nCIS Blog, November 3, 2010
\nhttp:\/\/www.cis.org\/renshon\/non-citizen-voting-rip-again<\/a> <\/p>\n

Excerpt: Among the many important results yesterday’s election is the resounding defeat of two measures that would have allowed non-citizens to vote. In<\/p>\n

previous entries, here, here, here, and elsewhere, I had taken up the most recent efforts to do away with the requirement that only citizens be allowed to<\/p>\n

vote.<\/p>\n

The two proposals, one in San Francisco, the other in Portland, Maine were defeated by voters. In Portland, the unofficial result was 9,325, or 51.5 percent,<\/p>\n

against and 8,874, or 48.5 percent, in favor. The Portland initiative would have allowed non-citizens to cast ballots in school board, city council and other<\/p>\n

local races.<\/p>\n

\nLabor Department Does the Right Thing with Exploitative H-2B Program
\nBy David North
\nCIS Blog, November 1, 2010
\nhttp:\/\/www.cis.org\/north\/h2b-cata-lawsuit<\/a> <\/p>\n

Excerpt: The U.S. Labor Department is taking steps to raise wages employers are required to pay in the H-2B nonimmigrant worker program. And raising the wages may well mean that employers will be less likely to use it, thus reducing migration.<\/p>\n

This program brings unskilled, non-agricultural workers to the United States by the tens of thousands. Worker organizations have long complained that the<\/p>\n

Labor Department, under the Bush administration, took a number of administrative steps to make sure that employers did not have to pay adequate wages to the alien workers, and to the resident workers who toiled alongside them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
