Federal preemption and S.B. 1070
December 16, 2011
On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court considered at their private Conference Arizona v. United States, the high-profile dispute over Arizona’s recent sweeping immigration statute S.B. 1070. The Court could announce as early as Monday whether it will review the case.
The political issue in Arizona’s appeal is how much leeway states have to regulate immigration in light of the comprehensive system of federal immigration law. The legal issue is one that has repeatedly drawn the Supreme Court’s attention in an another immigration case from Arizona, and many other contexts, in the last few years – federal preemption....
Supreme Court to Rule On Arizona Immigration Law
December 13, 2011
AP:
The Supreme Court agreed Monday to rule on Arizona’s controversial law targeting illegal immigrants, setting the stage for an election-year decision on an issue that is already shaping presidential politics.
The justices said they will review a federal appeals court ruling that blocked several tough provisions in the Arizona law. One of those requires that police, while enforcing other laws, question a person’s immigration status if officers suspect he is in the country illegally.
The Obama administration challenged the Arizona law by arguing that regulating immigration is the job of the federal government, not states....
Alabama governor promises revisions to tough immigration law
December 9, 2011
Alabama Governor Robert Bentley said on Friday the state’s tough newimmigration law would be revised following embarrassing incidents of foreign auto employees being detained because they were not carrying sufficient identification.
In a joint statement, Governor Robert Bentley, House Speaker Mike Hubbard and Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh, said they do not plan to repeal or weaken the law, which is widely considered to be the toughest state law in the nation.
It requires police to detain people they suspect of being in the United States illegally if they cannot produce proper documentation when...
The Luck of the Irish in Malaysia – Working in Kuala Lumpur
December 6, 2011
After visiting Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on a round-the-world trip in the height of summer in 2009, I knew immediately after the visit that if there was one place I could most likely see myself spending some months doing an Internship, it would be in this balmy, tropical and occasionally smoggy city.
There was something about it – how it had the beaches and the low prices. In many cases, Malaysia had the completely laid back atmosphere of its neighbour, Thailand, but with the modernity and ease of travelling of its neighbour on the opposite side, Singapore. But with work visas being quite difficult to come by, not to mention the difficulty in finding a job in the first place without needing my hopefully future employ...
Child Labor Booming in Iraq
December 2, 2011
Child labor is becoming a growing problem among impoverished Iraqi refugees in Syria.
A growing number of Iraqi refugee children in Syria have joined the illegal child labor market to help their families make ends meet, United Nations officials have warned.
Syria has taken in a huge number of Iraqi refugees since the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Barred from legal employment in the country, aid workers say the refugees are running out of options to make money.
“There are more and more Iraqi families sliding into poverty,” Farah Dakhlallah, a public information officer for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Syria told The Media Line. “They are b...
ACLU and Big Bird Crap on America
November 29, 2011
Part of the ACLU’s whitewash of our crumbling rights as citizens. It turns out that some kid star from Sesame Street was an illegal immigrant, thanks to his parents. They tried to jump in line by overstaying a visitor’s visa and petitioning for family immigration status.
“My parents, brother and I came from Ecuador when I was seven,” explains Carlo. When the family applied for permanent residency through Carlo’s aunt, who was living legally in America, they didn’t expect it would take so long. For 12 years, Carlo kept his status secret from his closest friends, fearing their reaction.
There’s a reason it took so long, and...

Armenia’s Population Drain and the Diaspora: de Waal
November 23, 2011
It happened twenty-three years ago next month, but Armenia’s second city Gyumri has never fully recovered from the devastating earthquake of 1988. A full 8 percent of the population perished in the quake. Local newspaper editor Levon Barsegyan, serving as my tour guide in Gyumri last week, proudly pointed out the elegant black-stoned houses for which this former imperial Russian town is famous. But he also pointed out the old market building, which is still a ruin — in fact Soviet buildings collapsed while older structures stayed up. And he told me that six thousand families are still living in the makeshift “temporary” accommodation the Soviet government provided for them back then, writes Senior Associate at the Carnegie E...
The Real Cost Of “Free Trade”
November 18, 2011
Why have we let disastrous so-called “free trade” destroy so many American freedoms?
Free trade should be more accurately called “freedom for other countries to undercut and destroy American domestic production” because in practice that is what is happening. This is an undeniable fact that should be obvious to any consumer or business in this country. Very little of what is consumed here is made by American owned companies operating in America. This was not formerly the case, and it was not how t...
