Motion to dismiss AIG-Shariah lawsuit DENIED

Motion to dismiss AIG-Shariah lawsuit DENIED

US District Ct of Michigan denies USG's motion to dismiss AIG-Shariah lawsuit

May 26, 2009

"In an extremely well-written and soundly analyzed opinion, Judge Lawrence P. Zatkoff of the US District Court for the Eastern District Court of Michigan, has denied the U.S. government's motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed by Kevin Murray. (The full opinion may be downloaded above from this entry's unique url.) Mr. Murray, who is represented by legal counsel David Yerushalmi and the Thomas More Law Center (Richard Thompson and Robert Muise), filed a federal complaint against the Treasury Secretary, representing the U.S. Treasury, and the Federal Reserve Board alleging that AIG's promotion of Shariah in its Shariah-compliant insurance products violates the Establishment Clause because the federal government owns and controls 80% of AIG and AIG's actions have become the government's.

The government filed its motion to dismiss making two arguments. One, Mr. Murray, as a former combat Marine, practicing Catholic, and tax payer, did not have standing to even bring this lawsuit. Two, even if he did have standing, the government acted in buying AIG without any intent to promote or become involved in religious questions.

The Court spent much of its opinion reciting the law on the narrow exception to the no-tax-payer-standing rule. That exception is triggered in a claim of a violation of the Establishment Clause and when there is a specific legislative grant for spending that implicates the First Amendment. The Court carefully reviewed all of the relevant case law and found the argument made by Messrs. Yerushalmi and Muise in their brief persuasive.

On the second issue, the Court put together all of the facts as presented by the Plaintiff's brief and concluded:

Quote:
"In this case, the fact that AIG is largely a secular entity is not dispositive: “The question in an as-applied challenge is not whether the entity is of a religious character, but how it spends its grant.” Kendrick, 487 U.S. at 624–25 (Kennedy J., concurring). The circumstances of this case are historic, and the pressure upon the government to navigate this financial crisis is unfathomable. Times of crisis, however, do not justify departure from the Constitution. In this case, the United States government has a majority interest in AIG. AIG utilizes consolidated financing whereby all funds flow through a single port to support all of its activities, including Sharia-compliant financing. Pursuant to the EESA, the government has injected AIG with tens of billions of dollars, without restricting or tracking how this considerable sum of money is spent. At least two of AIG’s subsidiary companies practice Sharia-compliant financing, one of which was unveiled after the influx of government cash. After using the $40 billion from the government to pay down the $85 billion credit facility, the credit facility retained $60 billion in available credit, suggesting that AIG did not use all $40 billion consistent with its press release. Finally, after the government acquired a majority interest in AIG and contributed substantial funds to AIG for operational purposes, the government co-sponsored a forum entitled “Islamic Finance 101.” These facts, taken together, raise a question of whether the government’s involvement with AIG has created the effect of promoting religion and sufficiently raise Plaintiff’s claim beyond the speculative level, warranting dismissal inappropriate at this stage in the proceedings."
end quote

We reached out to Messrs. Yerushalmi and Muise in a conference call. They both were quite obviously pleased by the well-reasoned opinion. They also said, almost in perfect unison: "There is not a fact in the complaint we cannot prove." Mr. Yerushalmi added, "This case is going to send a loud and reverberating alarm in Washington and in the financial world which is now running full speed and blindly to embrace Shariah-compliant finance."

When the case was first filed, arm-chair First Amendment lawyers (meaning law professors who opine while gathering wood splinters writing arcane law review articles and shotgun blog entries) almost unanimously concluded this case had zero chance to survive a motion to dismiss. Turns out they were wrong. Way wrong.

Indeed, Thomas C. Baxter, Jr., the legal counsel to the New York Federal Reserve, was a participant in a day-long conference at Fordham University's law school entitled, "Islamic Law and Financial Symposium," on February 23, 2009. After he gave the standard rah-rah Shariah finance is a win-win, someone from the audience asked him about the lawsuit. His answer: "While I will not comment on pending litigation, what I can say is that we are absolutely certain that the court will dispense with it very expeditiously."

Ooops!

Maybe it is time for Mr. Baxter and the other government lawyers to enroll in Mr. Yerushalmi's newly published on line continuing legal education (CLE) course designed for financial institution compliance officers, SEC lawyers, Treasury officials, and investors, on the civil liability and criminal exposure risks associated with Shariah-compliant finance (available here.) Maybe then the Baxters of the world could offer their learned opinions rather than just the standard arrogant hot air of a government bureaucrat who insists the government can do no wrong."

"Identity theft is not a soft crime"

Rocky — Thu, 07 May 2009 15:25:15 GMT

If ILLEGALS continue getting away with breaking the law then, they're being rewarded for breaking the law. The hypocritical double-standards have to stop. Just enforce the laws already on the books.

Read this article:

"Identity theft is not a soft crime"

"Let's put some context on this -- this is the fastest-growing crime in the country. Roughly 10 million people every year are victimized by identity theft....

"...he pulled a Social Security Number out of the air -- he simply made it up using the three digits for Connecticut as a prefix and then putting all the rest together. Little did he know that he was inventing the number of an investigative reporter, and so down the road, when it turned out that he had been running up bills on nine different credit cards, passing bad checks at Indian casinos, and when his mess made his way into my credit file during a refinance, I then set out to find the guy. Which I did, and working with law enforcement, managed to get him arrested and deported. Under this new ruling, he would not be guilty of aggravated identity theft, because by having pulled my Social out of the air, he did not, quote unquote, "knowingly" steal my Social Security Number."

Help Protect American Jobs Petition!

Rocky — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 01:16:34 GMT

Help Protect American Jobs Petition!

Send Your Petition to President Obama: Put American Workers First!

Help FAIR Protect American Jobs!!

"President Obama has made a commitment to create and protect American jobs. But recently he seemed to have backtracked on some of his earlier campaign promises, and FAIR would like to remind him that further appeasement of the immigration amnesty lobby will hurt attempts to bring down unemployment and threatens our country's economic stability.

Any new investment in job creation by our government should ensure that the jobs go to American workers. One of the ways to guarantee this is to reauthorize the successful E-Verify program and make it a requirement for all government contractors and any government-sponsored public works program.

As of today, more than 100,000 businesses use E-Verify to easily validate the employment eligibility of prospective employees, ensuring that jobs are going to those that are legally authorized to work in the U.S. Click here to find out more information about the E-Verify program on our FAQ page.

Time is running out, so don't wait to make your voice heard. Help us remind President Obama about his commitment to the American worker by signing this petition. And don't forget to forward it to your friends and colleagues."

E-Verify

Rocky — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 05:34:03 GMT

E-Verify

"E-Verify (formerly the Basic Pilot/Employment Eligibility Verification Program) is an online system operated jointly by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration (SSA). Participating employers can check the work status of new hires online by comparing information from an employee's I-9 form against SSA and Department of Homeland Security databases. More than 87,000 employers are enrolled in the program, with over 6.5 million queries run so far in fiscal year 2008.

E-Verify is free and voluntary, and is the best means available for determining employment eligibility of new hires and the validity of their Social Security numbers."

U.S. steel companies press for Buy American plan

Rocky — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 04:48:23 GMT

U.S. steel companies press for Buy American plan

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. steel companies urged congressional leaders on Tuesday to maintain a strong "Buy American" provision as part of a final economic stimulus bill sent to President Barack Obama.

The plea came as major U.S. exporters like Caterpillar and Microsoft pushed for either eliminating or substantially weakening the measure, which they say would raise the cost of public works projects funded by the stimulus bill and send a protectionist signal to the rest of the world.

Canada, the European Union and other U.S. trading partners are also closely watching congressional negotiations on the Buy American plan, which would give preference to domestic steel companies and possibly other U.S. manufacturers.

"Procurement of competitively priced steel products and specialty metals from competitive domestic sources will not cost the U.S. taxpayer more," the American Iron and Steel Institute said in a letter to congressional leaders.

"It will in fact generate payroll and income tax returns to the U.S. government as a result of stimulating American jobs," the steel companies said, adding the United States has various Buy American provisions on the books for years without causing a trade war...."

So why did President Obama choose Diana Farrell to join his administration as deputy director of the National Economic Council and deputy economic adviser when ... she supports outsourcing quite strongly?

Diana Farrell: Is Obama the Offshore Outsourcing President?
Submitted by Robert Oak on Wed, 02/04/2009

"Yesterday Obama nominated the most notorious offshore outsourcing Senate advocate, Judd Gregg, for Commerce Secretary.

Today global labor arbitrage and offshore outsourcing expert, expert, Dr. Ron Hira, spells out the hidden multinational corporate offshore outsourcing agenda in an op-ed, The Obama administration promotes outsourcing:

"We know from a recent EE Times survey that offshoring is the No. 1 career concern for EEs. The Obama Administration has been in office just a few weeks now, but we already know how it will address the offshoring of engineering jobs.

It will promote it."

- Look at this:

"Exploding the myths of offshoring: Far from damaging the economy of the United States, offshoring should enable its companies to direct resources to next-generation technologies and ideas—if public policy doesn't get in the way.

JULY 2004 • Martin N. Baily and Diana Farrell

"Far from damaging the economy of the United States, offshoring should enable its companies to direct resources to next-generation technologies and ideas—if public policy doesn’t get in the way.

Article at a glance:

The debate over the offshoring of US business-processing jobs misses the mark. Any short-term disruption from job losses must be weighed against not only the much broader benefits to consumers and businesses but also the disastrous consequences of resisting change. If US companies can’t move work abroad, they will become less competitive—weakening the economy and endangering many more jobs—and miss the chance to raise their productivity and to concentrate their resources on the creation of higher-value jobs.

The take-away:

Research by the McKinsey Global Institute quantifies the benefits of offshoring for the US economy and debunks several myths. Rather than debating whether offshoring is good or bad, businesses and policy makers should be thinking about how to help its victims."

"GREELEY -- An immigrant's tax scam in Weld County has launched a sweeping investigation authorities say could yield 1,300 arrests over the next year -- a crackdown some complain is a backhanded attempt to oust immigrants.

The Weld County District Attorney, Ken Buck, says authorities have traced some $2.6 million in payments by the IRS to illegal immigrants using phony Social Security numbers...."

http://www.dailycamera.com/news/2008/nov/16/1300-could-be-arrested-in-immigrants-tax-scam/

---------------------

I like the comments below the article:

"Through out this whole article they make excuses not to go after the illegal immigrants who have committed federal felonies.

Legal citizens get thrown in jail for not having car insurance or an expired drivers license.

And people want to give illegal people who have absolutely no right to be in this country special right to comment felonies and get away completely free??

Completely out of control these criminals need to be apprehended and sent back to there own country, and they can take their families with them if they are so worried about separation."

GAFFNEY: Treasury submits to Shariah

Rocky — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 17:56:30 GMT

GAFFNEY: Treasury submits to Shariah

"The U.S. Treasury Department is submitting to Shariah - the seditious religio-political-legal code authoritative Islam seeks to impose worldwide under a global theocracy.

As reported in this space last week, Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Robert Kimmitt set the stage with his recent visit to Saudi Arabia and other oil-rich Persian Gulf states. His stated purpose was to promote the recycling of petrodollars in the form of foreign investment here.

Evidently, the price demanded by his hosts is that the U.S. government get with the Islamist financial program. While in Riyadh, Mr. Kimmitt announced: "The U.S. government is currently studying the salient features of Islamic banking to ascertain how far it could be useful in fighting the ongoing world economic crisis."

"Islamic banking" is a euphemism for a practice better known as "Shariah-Compliant Finance (SFC)." And it turns out that this week the Treasury will be taking officials from various federal agencies literally to school on SFC.

The department is hosting a half-day course entitled "Islamic Finance 101" on Thursday at its headquarters building. Treasury's self-described "seminar for the policy community" is co-sponsored with the leading academic promoters of Shariah and SCF in the United States: Harvard University Law School's Project on Islamic Finance. At the very least, the U.S. government evidently hopes to emulate Harvard's success in securing immense amounts of Wahhabi money in exchange for conforming to the Islamists' agenda. Like Harvard, Treasury seems utterly disinterested in what Shariah actually is, and portends.

Unfortunately, such submission - the literal meaning of "Islam" - is not likely to remain confined long to the Treasury or its sister agencies. Thanks to the extraordinary authority conferred on Treasury since September, backed by the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), the department is now in a position to impose its embrace of Shariah on the U.S. financial sector. The nationalization of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Treasury's purchase of - at last count - 17 banks and the ability to provide, or withhold, funds from its new slush-fund can translate into unprecedented coercive power....

... After all, the object of Shariah is the supplanting of our government and Constitution, through violent means if possible and, until then, through stealthy ones. Islamists, having secured footholds via their parallel societies, inevitably use those to extend their influence over Muslims who have no more interest in living under authoritative Islam's Shariah than the rest of us do. Inexorably, it becomes the turn of non-Muslims to accommodate themselves to ever more intrusive demands from the Islamists...

It is known as submission, or dhimmitude."

Illegal Immigration and the Mortgage Mess

Rocky — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 14:29:08 GMT

Illegal Immigration and the Mortgage Mess

September 24, 2008

The Mother of All Bailouts has many fathers. As panicked politicians prepare to fork over $1 trillion in taxpayer funding to rescue the financial industry, they've fingered regulation, deregulation, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Community Reinvestment Act, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, both Bushes, greedy banks, greedy borrowers, greedy short-sellers and minority home ownership mau-mauers (can't call 'em greedy, that would be racist) for blame.

But there's one giant paternal elephant in the room that has slipped notice: how illegal immigration, crime-enabling banks and open-borders Bush policies fueled the mortgage crisis.

It's no coincidence that most of the areas hardest hit by the foreclosure wave -- Loudoun County, Va., California's Inland Empire, Stockton and San Joaquin Valley, and Las Vegas and Phoenix, for starters -- also happen to be some of the nation's largest illegal alien sanctuaries. Half of the mortgages to Hispanics are subprime (the accursed species of loan to borrowers with the shadiest credit histories). A quarter of all those subprime loans are in default and foreclosure.

Regional reports across the country have decried the subprime meltdown's impact on illegal immigrant "victims." A July report showed that in seven of the 10 metro areas with the highest foreclosure rates, Hispanics represented at least one-third of the population; in two of those areas -- Merced and Salinas-Monterey, Calif. -- Hispanics comprised half the population. The amnesty-promoting National Council of La Raza and its Development Fund have received millions in federal funds to "counsel" their constituents on obtaining mortgages with little to no money down; the group almost succeeded in attaching a $10-million earmark for itself in one of the housing bills past this spring.

For the last five years, I've reported on the rapidly expanding illegal alien home loan racket. The top banks clamoring for their handouts as their profits plummet, led by Wachovia and Bank of America, launched aggressive campaigns to woo illegal alien homebuyers. The quasi-governmental Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority jumped in to guarantee home loans to illegal immigrants. The Washington Post noted, almost as an afterthought in a 2005 report: "Hispanics, the nation's fastest-growing major ethnic or racial group, have been courted aggressively by real estate agents, mortgage brokers and programs for first-time buyers that offer help with closing costs. Ads proclaim: "Sin verificacion de ingresos! Sin verificacion de documento!" -- which loosely translates as, 'Income tax forms are not required, nor are immigration papers.'"

In addition, fraudsters have engaged in massive house-flipping rings using illegal aliens as straw buyers. Among many examples cited by the FBI: a conspiracy in Las Vegas involving a former Nevada First Residential Mortgage Company branch manager who directed loan officers and processors in the origination of 233 fraudulent Federal Housing Authority loans valued at over $25 million. The defrauders manufactured and submitted false employment and income documentation for borrowers; most were illegal immigrants from Mexico. To date, the FBI reported, "Fifty-eight loans with a total value of $6.2 million have gone into default, with a loss to the Housing and Urban Development Department of over $1.9 million."

It's the tip of the iceberg. Thanks to lax Bush administration-approved policies allowing illegal aliens to use "matricula consular cards" and taxpayer identification numbers to open bank accounts, more forms of mortgage fraud have burgeoned. Moneylenders still have no access to a verification system to check Social Security numbers before approving loans.

In an interview about rampant illegal alien home loan fraud, a spokeswoman for the U.S. General Accounting Office told me five years ago: "[C]onsidering the size of Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Houston and other large cities throughout the United States known to be inundated with illegal aliens, I don't think the federal government is willing to expose this problem for financial reasons as well as for fear of political repercussions."

The chickens are coming home to roost. And law-abiding, responsible taxpayers are going to pay for it.

McDonald's pays $1 million in illegal immigration case

Rocky — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 23:31:50 GMT

McDonald's pays $1 million in illegal immigration case

McDonald's franchisee will pay $1 million in Nevada illegal immigration case

By Associated Press

"NEW YORK (AP) _ A McDonald's Corp. franchisee will pay a $1 million fine after pleading guilty in Las Vegas federal court to felony immigration offenses for giving false Social Security numbers to illegal aliens.

The charges follow an investigation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, who have said management of Mack Associates Inc. knowingly hired illegal alien workers in Reno, Nev.-area McDonald's restaurants, supplying them with false identification.

The Justice Department released details of the plea agreement late Wednesday.

In U.S. District Court in Las Vegas, attorneys for Mack Associates filed guilty pleas to one count of conspiracy to encourage and induce an alien's unlawful residence in the U.S. and one count of aiding and abetting an alien to remain in the U.S., which are felony offenses.

According to the plea agreement, Mack Associates management hired people known to reside in the U.S. illegally, and gave them names and Social Security numbers belonging to other individuals.

In addition to the fine, the government and Mack Associates agreed that the company be placed on probation during the period the fine is outstanding.

Joe Gillespie, director of operations for Mack Associates, and the franchisee's former vice president, Jimmy Moore, pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting an alien to remain in the U.S. Both men face a maximum penalty of no more than five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

In September, agents encountered 58 people working illegally at 11 McDonald's restaurants owned by Mack Associates near Reno, Nev., and were arrested. About 30 of these workers have been returned to their native countries. The remaining workers were provided with documentation to stay in the U.S., pending an outcome of the criminal investigation.

Representatives for Mack Associates and McDonald's were not immediately available to comment."

It's Amazing What Happens When...

Frank — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 22:54:05 GMT

Between illegal aliens and H1B visa recipients depressing wages, moving factories abroad and free trade agreements, it’s a miracle that Americans have any decent wage paying jobs at all.

For some time now I have felt and expressed the views that if our President would only enforce the laws of our country (as he swore to do) that a great deal of our problems with illegal aliens would become self-correcting. Now that Oklahoma and Arizona are doing just that, we have a darn good example of how this will work.

It’s amazing, but ever since Arizona’s law against employers who hire illegal aliens has gone into effect, the illegal population of Arizona has been decreasing. They are either heading back home to Mexico or over to Texas, California and other states where the same laws do not exist. This shows that enforcing the laws does work.

Now if we could only have a President who would do his sworn duty and enforce the laws of the United States we would see a marked change in the overall illegal population of the United States. We wouldn’t have to think about rounding up millions of illegal aliens and sending them home. They would do the job for us.

The cost of the illegal population in this country is extremely high and getting higher every day. Examples of these costs abound.

- Lower wages across the board for entry level and low skilled workers. Obama was asked about how this has affected the black population in a recent debate and avoided the question – as he does most direct questions – but it has hurt this segment of our population most.

- Huge social costs when it comes to schools, health care and other social benefits. Estimated at $2 billion (with a B!) a year in Los Angeles County alone, imagine what it must be for the country as a whole!

- Enormous costs associated with dealing with the criminal aspects and criminal elements of the illegal immigration population.

- A deterioration of our infrastructure due to rapid population growth that would not have occurred with the massive numbers of illegal immigrants.

- California is in the midst of “another” budget crisis and I would be willing to bet that the California budget would be closer to balanced versus an estimated $16 billion in the hole if the state wasn’t providing for the education and social welfare of millions of illegal aliens and their offspring.

As President I would do one thing to ensure that this situation doesn’t happen again, I would make sure our laws are enforced.

Here’s my simple, four point plan:

First, I would instruct all agencies under my jurisdiction to strictly enforce and apply the rules against hiring illegal immigrant workers.

Second, I would direct that all instances of employing illegal aliens be subject to penalty by fine and jail time – real jail time, not a “country club” jail. It’s real simple for an employer to pay a fine and move on – that’s just a cost of doing business. It’s not so simple to ignore the threat of real jail time in a real criminal jail. No one wants to face that prospect.

Third, I would do whatever was possible to ensure that illegal aliens in this country would not receive any social benefits.

Fourth, I would move to change the Constitution so that only those born of American citizens become citizens of this country upon birth. The founders of our country could not and would not have ever envisioned the fact that there would be hundreds of thousands of babies born each year in the United States hospitals solely so their parents can use them as an excuse to demand to stay here and take benefits from the rest of us.

It’s really that easy. Active and thorough enforcement of our laws will not only solve the current problem, but ensure that it doesn’t happen again in the future.

The current administration, in cahoots with Congress, has gone out of their way to sell our country out to business interests wanting cheaper labor by allowing in millions of illegal alien workers and a rapid expansion of the H1B visa program.

It’s time for a President who sincerely cares about Americans having jobs with a decent wage. I am ready to be that President.

Anything is Possible in America

RALLY FOR HAZLETON!

Michael — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 20:46:32 GMT

Please join us as we rally in support of Hazleton, Pennsylvania's Illegal Immigration Relief ACT. The Illegal Immigration Relief Act would impose fines on landlords who rent to illegal immigrants and deny business permits to companies that employ them. An additional companion measure requires tenants to register with City Hall.

We support Hazleton's right to defend herself against the massive flood of illegal immigrants entering the region. The inaction by the U.S. Federal government has forced many local cities and towns across the nation to take similar action. However, if we (Hazleton) lose this decision it could create a ripple effect across the nation by creating a legal precedent. That is why this case has gotten so much national attention and is being watched so closely by those on both sides of the issue.

Event Details:
DATE: March 14 - 25, 2007
TIME: 9 AM to 4PM Daily
LOCATION: Federal Building and Courthouse
235 N. Washington Ave
Scranton, PA. 18503

WHAT TO BRING: Bring signs and your friends!

The challenge against the Illegal Immigration Relief Act is being waged by the ACLU, the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund and dozens of other hispanic groups. The opposition has 26 high powered lawyers being funded by the groups mentioned above along with the Chamber of Commerce and the Catholic Church.

The Democratic and Republican parties remain spineless on the issue of illegal immigration. We must defend the rights of our local communities to repeal this invasion.

Large numbers of opposition protestors have already gathered in Scranton. Many of them are arriving in buses coming from New York City, Philadelphia, Boston and other parts of the country.

We need to counter them with our own strong numbers. I strongly urge everyone that is able to attend this important rally to do so. I cannot stress how incredibly important this court decision will be for the future of our nation. We need every single available patriot to attend.

Hope to see you in Hazleton!

Sincerely,

Michael E. Thompson

A Cure For Illegal Immigration

Angelique — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 18:02:55 GMT

My name is Angelique Reder, and I am a forty-one year old woman.
I am a tenth generation American that has seen her fill of the destruction of America.
Over the last thirty years of my life I have watched the American dream of living free, with a government that served them, and not the other way around.
Many of my ancestors, fought, bled, were dismembered, and died in the American Revolution that took place two hundred years ago.
My blood line goes further back than that, as I am also Choctaw Indian.
I have joined many discussions on the Illegal Immigration Issue, and Border Security.
I have read the Patriot Act, The Declaration of Independence that was in place before the Inactment of The Patriot Act, and the Constitution that was in place just before The Patriot Act.
It took many hours to figure out how it actually would affect the American People.
Now I am fully aware that the Public Issue of The Patriot Act is not complete, nor fully accurate.
I've lived through many presidents, and I am not so easily fooled.

After sitting back and observing for a bit at the reaction of the American People about The Patriot Act, and the Illegal Immigration Issue, I have come to the conclussion that the Illegal Immigration Issue with all of it's great importance, is only a diversion tactic on behalf of our governemnt to deter our attention away from other matters.

I am well aware of what the other matters are, and we can discuss them later.
Right now, I want to present a solution to Illegal Immigration, so that Americans can see the other problems for themselves, before we go there.

This is the Illegal Immigration Bill that I think should be presented on the behalf of the American Citizens, and Legal Immigrants that come to our country with good intent.

1.) Remove the cost of Border Patrol from the American Tax Legislation.
This is done easily as the cost becomes a burden to the country of the Illegal Defector, or Illegal Immigrant captured on American Soil.
These fines should be implemented as follows.

If an Illegal Defector is captured, they Must be deported.
The cost of the deportation and a fine of no less than $5,000.00 per defector are to fined to the Resident Country for lack of proper Border Control.
This places the responsibility upon the country that is unable to control their border.
If the defector is cought with Illegal Documentation, or a Stolen Identity, the fine shall increase by an additional $5,000.00 per defector.
If a defector is captured with drugs, or committing a violant offense the additional fine will be at the lowest, and depending on the seriousness of the crime $10,000.00 per defector.
If a defector is captured on multiple crimes, the fines are be doubled.

We are now talking a minumium of Twenty Thousand Dollars per Defector Fined to the Resident Country.
This takes a great tax burden off of the American People, and Forcing Invading Countries to control their borders or faces penalities.

This money is to be used to protect our Norther, Southern, and Both Coastal Borders.
It is to be distibuted between the branches of the NIS for hiring more Patrols, and the development of a National Data Base for Border Felons.
This will cover the cost of rounding up and deportation of said criminals.
Any Illegal Defector will immidiately be disqualified from any Legal Immigration Visas.

In the event of repeat border offenders, they are to be prosecuted as terrorist attempting to inflict harm upon America.

Now, to deal with the issue of Illegal Immigrants and the companies that hire them.
First of all our President through sponsoring background checks, and drug tests, which are both a violation of our civil rights has made Americans far too costly to employee.
Our President working with Industry has intentialy removed the rights of Americans to have equal opportunity employement, and is currently supporting giving those jobs to cheaper laborers.
The way to deal with this is:

All businesses owned, and operated by Illegal Immigrants must be closed upon verification of Illegal Immigration Status, and deportation penalities must be applied to the residing country of the defoctor.
A trace of all bank accounts, and wire transfers of all American dollars is to be tracked across the violated border, and accounted for, then included in the fine that the residing country must pay America, as well as International Money Laundrying charges are to be applied to the defector, disqualifying them from ever becoming a legal American Citizen.

If the Illegal Immigrant that owned the business also hired Illegal Immigrants to work for them, the fines on all criminal activities must be doubled per Illegal Immigrant.

American owned business are to be fined $25,000.00 per Illegal Immigrant found working Illegally in this country, and are liable for half of the costs of deportation.
They are also required to pay a fine to the citizens in the township where the business operates, as resitution from supporting terrorism in their community.
This fine should be distributed as follows:
$10,000.00 per illegal immigrant employeed, and an additional $5,000.00 per Illegal Immigrant employeed that placed children in the local schools.
The $5,000.00 fine is to be paid per child entered into the public, or private school sectors of the township.
All of the fines to the township are to be distributed to the schools in the local area ONLY.

This is the Bill that needs to be put before the American People to vote on.
Of course it needs fine tuning, and a few more issues addressed.
But this is the basic idea.

If you think that this is a good proposal, please show that you support it, by passing it along to all of your friends, family, and neighbors, so that we may begin the process, of getting this Bill of the People, For the People in place.

Angelique Reder

American owned business must stop doing background checks, other than for public servant positions, and to verify Legal Citizenship.
The only people that American owned business are allowed to drug test, do background checks on are employess with questionable citizenship, or are in America on Visas.

Time to Step Up, Speak Up!

Michael — Mon, 01 May 2006 11:18:48 GMT

Today millions of illegal immigrants and their supporters will be participating in the "Great American Boycott" all across the country. These protests/ boycotts are designed to damage the U.S. economy and push for Amnesty and more guest workers.

The democrat and republican parties have shown sympathy for illegals and their allegiance to big business. Where is the sympathy for American workers??

Let's show our solidarity with American workers!

NO AMNESTY FOR LAW BREAKING EMPLOYERS!

BIG BUSINESS WANTS AMNESTY FOR MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS BECAUSE THAT WILL NOT ONLY SUPPLY THEM WITH CHEAP LABOR, BUT IT ESSENTIALLY GIVES THEM AMNESTY FOR BREAKING THE LAW. THEY CAN THEN CONTINUE TO IMPORT CHEAP FOREIGN LABOR, PAY LOW WAGES AND GET RID OF THOSE COSTLY AMERICANS.

The New American Independent Party will be countering with the "Great American Response" over the next eight months. Starting with protests/ events in the Greater Philadelphia, PA area, Southern NJ and Northen Delaware.

Then moving into Central Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia and beyond.

Anyone interested in attending or organizing these protests (against illegal workers and the employers who hire them), or if you would like to organize one in your area, please let your voice be heard. It doesn't matter what state. This issue has or will touch us all. You can post here or email headquarters at action@newamericanindependent.com

Locations, dates & times will be announced after the responses from notifying all members, newsletter subscribers and posting on our dozen or so discussion groups have been completed.

Does the middle class want real change?
Or more of the same?

Outsourcing Is Climbing Skills Ladder

Michael — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 18:38:20 GMT

By STEVE LOHR
NEW YORK TIMES
Published: February 16, 2006

The globalization of work tends to start from the bottom up. The first jobs to be moved abroad are typically simple assembly tasks, followed by manufacturing, and later, skilled work like computer programming. At the end of this progression is the work done by scientists and engineers in research and development laboratories.

A new study that will be presented today to the National Academies, the nation's leading advisory groups on science and technology, suggests that more and more research work at corporations will be sent to fast-growing economies with strong education systems, like China and India.

In a survey of more than 200 multinational corporations on their research center decisions, 38 percent said they planned to "change substantially" the worldwide distribution of their research and development work over the next three years — with the booming markets of China and India, and their world-class scientists, attracting the greatest increase in projects.

Whether placing research centers in their home countries or overseas, the study said, companies often use similar criteria. The quality of scientists and engineers and their proximity to research centers are crucial.

The study contended that lower labor costs in emerging markets are not the major reason for hiring researchers overseas, though they are a consideration. Tax incentives do not matter much, it said.

Instead, the report found that multinational corporations were global shoppers for talent. The companies want to nurture close links with leading universities in emerging markets to work with professors and to hire promising graduates.

"The story comes through loud and clear in the data," said Marie Thursby, an author of the study and a professor at Georgia Tech's college of management. "You have to have an environment that fosters the development of a high-quality work force and productive collaboration between corporations and universities if America wants to maintain a competitive advantage in research and development."

The multinationals, representing 15 industries, were from the United States and Western Europe. The authors said there was no statistically significant difference between the American and European companies.

Dow Chemical is one company that plans to invest heavily in new research and development centers in China and India. It is building a research center in Shanghai, which will employ 600 technical workers when it is completed next year. Dow is also finishing plans for a large installation in India, said William F. Banholzer, Dow's chief technology officer.

Today, the company employs 5,700 scientists worldwide, about 4,000 of them in the United States and Canada, and most of the rest in Europe. But the moves overseas will alter that. "There will be a major shift for us," Mr. Banholzer said.

The swift economic growth in China and India, he said, is part of the appeal because products and processes often have to be tailored for local conditions. The rising skill of the scientists abroad is another reason. "There are so many smart people over there," Mr. Banholzer said. "There is no monopoly on brains, and none on education either."

Such views were echoed by other senior technology executives, whose companies are increasing their research employment abroad. "We go with the flow, to find the best minds we can anywhere in the world," said Nicholas M. Donofrio, executive vice president for technology and innovation at I.B.M., which first set up research labs in India and China in the 1990's. The company is announcing today that it is opening a software and services lab in Bangalore, India.

At Hewlett-Packard, which opened an Indian lab in 2002 and is starting one in China, Richard H. Lampman, senior vice president for research, points to the spread of innovation around the world. "If your company is going to be a global leader, you have to understand what's going on in the rest of the world," he said.

The globalization of research investment, industry executives and academics argued, need not harm the United States. In research, as in economics, they said, growth abroad does not mean stagnation at home — and typically the benefits outweigh the costs.

Still, more companies in the survey said they planned to decrease research and development employment in the United States and Europe than planned to increase employment.

In numerical terms, scientists and engineers in research labs represent a relatively small part of the national work force. Like the debate about offshore outsourcing in general, the trend, which may point to a loss of competitiveness, is more significant than the quantity of jobs involved.

The American executives who are planning to send work abroad express concern about what they regard as an incipient erosion of scientific prowess in this country, pointing to the lagging math and science proficiency of American high school students and the reluctance of some college graduates to pursue careers in science and engineering.

"For a company, the reality is that we have a lot of options," Mr. Banholzer of Dow Chemical said. "But my personal worry is that an educated, innovative science and engineering work force is vital to the economy. If that slips, it is going to hurt the United States in the long run."

Some university administrators see the same trend. "This is part of an incredible tectonic shift that is occurring," said A. Richard Newton, dean of the college of engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, "and we've got to think about this more profoundly than we have in the past. Berkeley and other leading American universities, he said, are now competing in a global market for talent. His strategy is to become an aggressive acquirer. He is trying to get Tsinghua University in Beijing and some leading technical universities in India to set up satellite schools linked to Berkeley. The university has 90 acres in Richmond, Calif., that he thinks would be an ideal site.

"I want to get them here, make Berkeley the intellectual hub of the planet, and they won't leave," said Mr. Newton, who emigrated from Australia 25 years ago.

The corporate research survey was financed by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, which supports studies on innovation. It was designed and written by Ms. Thursby, who is also a research associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research, and her husband, Jerry Thursby, who is chairman of the economics department at Emory University in Atlanta.

Say Ta Ta to Tata

Michael — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 18:28:14 GMT

FWD:

Say 'Ta Ta' To Tata

It's rare these days to find stories in the news that make one want
leap for joy. This is one of those stories. Tata is an Indian
Information Technology (IT) consulting firm doing business under the
names Tata America International, Tata Consultancy Services, TCS
America, Tata Infotech and Tata Sons, Ltd. Since moving to the
U.S., Tata has been a rising star in the IT consulting business -
winning bid after bid to develop and support IT systems. They have
been so successful, they even got a VIP welcome to New York from
Senator Hillary Clinton. Hillary's welcome to them was despite the
fact that they hire mostly imported workers on H-1B visas (i.e.
guest workers). They only hire Americans for the marketing
positions to show an American face to the client.

The propaganda campaign to justify the import of foreign workers has
been voluminous and insulting. We are told that the Indians win
bids because they are better educated and more highly skilled.
Mexicans work harder and do jobs Americans won't do. The truth is
that imported foreign workers are cheaper and more easily
exploitable as we can see in the Tata story regarding a class action
lawsuit filed by Lieff, Cabraser, Heimann & Bernstein, LLP. Tata
had a scam going on in which they cheated their imported employees
out of a goodly portion of their already low wages.

The way the scam works is that the imported employees are required
to use a particular firm that Tata hired to determine their tax
liability and to file their tax returns. The imported employees
were then told that they must turnover their tax refunds to Tata.
When the tax refund checks came, the employee's were required to
endorse them over to Tata America. So what Tata did in effect, was
to steal a portion of the employee's wages using the income tax
witholding system!

So how much money is involved? According to the plaintiff, Gopi
Vedachalam, he was forced to sign over state and federal tax refund
checks totaling $25,000. Clearly, there had to be overwithholding
to reach that amount of money in just five years of working for
Tata. Tata has over 5,000 employees in the U.S. That's a
staggering amount of money that would essentially be `off the books -
free money'.

Speculating, if Tata took cash withdrawals corresponding to the
amounts of the endorsed checks, the net effect to Tata's bank
account would be zero. That would make it completely untraceable
cash. So what could Tata do with that kind of untraceable cash?
Kickbacks? No doubt. Bribes? Probably. The most worrisome
possibility is that the money could have been used to fund
terrorism. If you've been following what the war on terrorism has
done for the IT Industry in terms of contracts for control and
tracking systems, you know that terrorism has been the best thing to
happen to the industry since the integrated circuit board.

The misnamed `free trade' in services is what brought Tata to our
shores to take jobs away from American citizens and to create the
conditions in which they can steal from their own countrymen. Trade
in services is nothing more than modern day slave trade by men with
good educations, refined manners and expensive suits. The trade
agreements put the multinational corporations in the position to
engage in global labor arbitrage and it is threatening the future of
America as a first world country. In fact, Silicon Valley has been
exported to India. Perhaps the time has come to stop looking for
terrorists in caves in the desert and start looking for them where
they really are - in the boardrooms of America's best corporations
and in the halls of Congress. Oh… and let's not forget the
Universities.

Credit Suisse is moving IT jobs to India.

Michael — Thu, 16 Feb 2006 18:24:52 GMT

IndiaDaily
Feb. 16, 2006

Investment bank Credit Suisse is planning to move up to a thousand British and American IT posts to India in an attempt to cut costs. Hundreds of staff at the Swiss bank's Canary Wharf headquarters in London and at offices across New York could be affected by the move. The investment bank, which is preparing to float its Winterthur insurance business in the second-half of the year, will ask some staff to relocate, although the majority of the jobs will be filled from India's graduate community. The new staff would carry out IT roles from back office to application building, working with staff around the world through dedicated servers. Although a final decision to "push the button" has yet to be made, it is understood plans are at a fairly advanced stage. Credit Suisse's global technology and operations division, run by Eileen Murray, has already briefed a number of key suppliers to ask them to carry out "reconnaissance missions" to help them set up shop in India.

Basics of H-1B and L-1 foreign work visas

Michael — Mon, 09 Jan 2006 15:29:53 GMT

The federal H-1B visa program allows skilled foreign workers to take jobs in the United States for three years if an employer can show that an American worker cannot be found for that job. In 2001, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service said that of 164,000 H-1B workers allowed into the country that year, 55 percent worked in the informational technology industry, 13 percent were engineers, 8 percent were administrators and 6 percent were college and university educators.

The L-1 visa program allows companies operating in the United States and abroad to transfer certain classes of employee from its foreign to its U.S. operations for up to seven years. From 1999 to 2004, 3.9 million foreign workers entered the United States under this program, according to federal immigration reports.

In New Jersey during that period, 99,810 workers were given jobs on H-1B visas, and 105,170 foreign workers were transferred to in-state operations, immigration reports said.
The current nationwide limit of annual H-1B visas is 65,000, set in 2003. Congress in 2001 set the limit at 195,000 for three years.

Wal-Mart considers an attempt to bypass the laws and wishes of our local communities.

Michael — Thu, 15 Dec 2005 19:39:53 GMT

In what could be an amazing and frightening move, Wal-Mart is now considering appealing to international trade rules and the WTO in an effort to further expand into the U.S. and other countries.

Wal-Mart is facing a growing number of communities across America that have begun rethinking their views of the corporate giant. And as people and communities slowly begin to better understand what Wal-Mart is all about, Wal-Mart will continue to face growing opposition.

Instead of implementing real reforms in an effort to let more communities welcome them "to town", Wal-Mart is now considering trumping or bypassing those local communities which stand in their way. Even the many communities that have approved new Wal-Mart & Sam's Club stores could be targeted. Local zoning boards that regulate the size, shape and location of businesses could be challenged in WTO court.

Wal-Mart would like to build even larger stores with even larger signs in any location they want. They would like more main street locations that are currently off-limits due to local zoning laws and ordinances. Other communities that completely reject Wal-Mart could be forced to let them in anyways.

Wal-Mart contends that it is unfair for local communities to shut them out and they also think it is a violation of international trade laws. Thus, they are considering challenging or bypassing U.S. laws.

Please don't be so quick to dismiss the WTO threat. Mexico has also been appealing to the WTO and international rules and laws in an attempt to dictate U.S. immigration policy with some early success. You can be sure that Wal-Mart would also back Mexico and the WTO's attempt to dictate U.S. immigration policy, to help ensure a strong supply of cheap imported labor to continue to build their stores. They want you to think that Americans don't want good paying construction jobs.

While the idea that the WTO could have any real power over U.S. laws would seem highly unlikely a few years ago. The globalists are picking up steam. It is only a matter of time if we do not act.

We don't only need to wake up and say no to Wal-Mart, but we also need to say goodbye to membership in the World Trade Organization.

U.S. Trade Deficit Reaches Another Record High

Michael — Wed, 14 Dec 2005 19:02:51 GMT

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER, AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON - The U.S. trade deficit unexpectedly rose to an all-time high in October as oil shipments soared and the United States set deficit records with China, Europe, Canada and Mexico.

The Commerce Department reported that the gap between what America sells overseas and what it imports rose by 4.4 percent in October to $68.9 billion, surpassing the old record of $66 billion set in September.

So far this year, the trade deficit is running at an annual rate of $718 billion, far surpassing last year's $617.6 billion imbalance. Critics say the soaring deficit is evidence that President Bush's policy of pursuing free trade deals around the world is not working.

To counter the attacks, the administration has stepped up pressure on Europe and Japan to boost economic growth as a way of increasing demand for U.S. exports. It is also pressuring China on a number of trade issues, from textile imports to the country's currency, which American manufacturers say is being manipulated to give Chinese producers unfair trade advantages.

But lawmakers from both parties criticized the administration's approach as too tentative, saying the new deficit figure highlighted the threat to American jobs.
"Small business owners in Maine and across the nation are fighting to remain competitive with countries such as China that flagrantly disregard fair trade practices," Sen. Olympia Snowe R-Maine, said in a statement.

Rep. Benjamin Cardin of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Ways and Means trade subcommittee, said the administration had "failed to craft an effective strategy to deal with China's unfair trading practices."

Presidential spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters at the White House that the administration believed the best approach was to tear down barriers to American exports through free trade agreements and global trade negotiations under way this week in Hong Kong.

The deterioration of the deficit in October caught analysts by surprise. They had been forecasting that the imbalance would improve, reflecting a fall in global oil prices.
The average price per barrel of imported oil did decline slightly to $56.29, down from an average of $57.32 in September, but the volume of shipments shot up to 9.8 million barrels per day. The total bill for imports in October hit a record of $25.8 billion, up 7.8 percent from September.

A surge of Chinese shipments of televisions, toys and computers pushed America's deficit with China to a new monthly record of $20.5 billion. Through October, the deficit with China is running at an annual rate of $200 billion, far exceeding last year's imbalance of $162 billion, which had been the biggest deficit ever recorded with a single country.

On recent trips to China, both Bush and Treasury Secretary John Snow have lobbied Chinese officials to provide greater flexibility for their currency, the yuan, to find its proper value in relation to the U.S. dollar. American manufacturers contend that the Chinese are artificially depressing the yuan's value by as much as 40 percent as a way to make Chinese goods cheaper in relation to U.S. products.

While the Chinese did allow the yuan to rise by 2.1 percent this past summer, the currency has been essentially unchanged since that time.

The administration did reach an agreement recently to re-impose quotas on a wide range of clothing and textile products to stem what had been a flood of imports this year since global quotas were lifted last January. For October, imports of Chinese clothing and textiles declined by 10.9 percent from September but for the first 10 months of this year, Chinese imports are up by 47.6 percent compared to the same period in 2004.

For October, imports of goods and services rose by 2.7 percent to an all-time high of $176.4 billion, led by the surge in oil shipments. U.S. exports also rose by a slower 1.7 percent to $107.5 billion.

Critics blame the soaring trade deficits for a loss of 3 million manufacturing jobs since mid-2000 and they argue that Bush's push to strike free trade agreements eliminating all trade barriers between the United States and other nations has opened American workers to unfair competition from low-wage countries.

The United States set deficit records with most of its major trading partners including a $12.1 billion imbalance with the 25-nation European Union, a $8.1 billion imbalance with Canada, the country's largest trading partner, and a record $4.8 billion deficit with Mexico.

100 Illegal workers arrested at Wal-Mart Construction Site.

100 Arrested at Wal-Mart Construction Site

By MICHAEL RUBINKAM, Associated Press Writer

November 18, 2005

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Federal immigration agents detained more than 100 workers at a construction site for a new Wal-Mart distribution center, authorities said.

The workers, who Wal-Mart said were employed by a subcontractor and not by the retailing giant, were detained Thursday on suspected immigration violations, said Department of Homeland Security spokesman Marc Raimondi. They were being taken to Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers for processing, he said.

More than 50 federal immigration agents, joined by the U.S. Labor Department, Social Security Administration and state police, raided the construction site near Pottsville, about 80 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

Wal-Mart spokesman Marty Heires said the company would cooperate fully with federal authorities.

"We have written contracts with these subcontractors requiring that they follow all applicable local, state and federal employment laws," he said in a statement.

At least 120 illegal immigrants, most of them from Mexico, were detained, Schuylkill County Sheriff Frank McAndrew said. He said he began investigating the site and contacted federal officials after getting complaints from local tradespeople.

"You've got a situation here where illegal immigrants are coming into Schuylkill County and taking (local union workers') jobs for eight bucks an hour. They are working for poverty wages, and creating unemployment because our skilled tradesmen are out of work," McAndrew said.

In 2003, a raid of 60 Wal-Mart stores in 21 states led to the arrests of 245 illegal workers. An affidavit claimed a pair of senior Wal-Mart executives knew cleaning contractors were hiring illegal immigrants. The retailer agreed to pay $11 million in March to settle the case but denied senior executives knew of the hirings.

U.S. Trade Deficit Hits Record High

Michael — Fri, 11 Nov 2005 00:01:23 GMT

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER, AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON - The trade deficit surged to a record in September as oil imports hit an all-time high, driven up by hurricane-related shutdowns of Gulf Coast production.

The deficit with China also hit a record as that country shipped a flood of televisions, toys and clothing to the United States, triggering demands that President Bush take a hard line on what Democrats in Congress called China's unfair trading practices.

The Commerce Department reported Thursday that September's trade deficit was a record $66.1 billion, 11.4 percent higher than August and much worse than economists had been forecasting.

Analysts blamed much of the rise on hurricanes Katrina and Rita, which shut down production at Gulf Coast refineries and pushed oil prices to record highs.

The trade deficit so far this year is running at a record annual rate of $706 billion, putting it on track to far surpass the old record of $617.6 billion set last year.

Critics say the deficit is the result of the Bush administration pushing free trade agreements that reduce the cost of products for U.S. consumers but send American jobs overseas, where labor costs are lower. The United States has lost 3 million manufacturing jobs since mid-2000.

In other economic news, the government reported that the number of Americans who have lost their jobs because of the hurricanes rose to 542,000 last week. Last week's increase included 15,000 applications for jobless benefits related to Katrina and Rita and 6,000 attributed to Hurricane Wilma, which struck Florida in October.

The increase in the trade deficit reflected the fact that imports jumped by 2.4 percent to a record $171.3 billion in September, driven by a $23.8 billion bill for oil imports as well as a big increase in imports of consumer goods.

U.S. exports fell by 2.6 percent to $105.2 billion in September, the biggest monthly decline in four years. However, analysts cautioned that the drop-off was heavily influenced by a strike at aircraft-maker Boeing, which sharply curtailed shipments of jetliners during the month.

The deficit with China jumped 8.9 percent to a record $20.1 billion and through September is running at an annual rate approaching $200 billion, far above last year's record deficit of $162 billion. Democrats pointed to this as evidence the Bush administration has failed to bring enough pressure on China to stop engaging in unfair trade practices such as manipulating its currency to gain trade advantages.

Sen. Byron Dorgan (news, bio, voting record), D-N.D., called the new deficit figure "devastating news." He and 13 other Democratic senators wrote a letter to Bush urging him to use a visit to China next week to pressure the government to stop undervaluing its currency against the dollar and to crack down on the copyright piracy of American products.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Thursday that he would travel to China next week as well to urge his Chinese counterparts to step up their efforts to halt piracy and counterfeiting through use of increased criminal enforcement.

Gonzales also unveiled a Bush administration proposal to stiffen penalties for copyright theft and broaden intellectual property protections. "The technology is just changing so quickly. It's so much easier to steal, to pirate," Gonzales said, explaining the need for the legislation.

On Tuesday, the administration announced it had reached a three-year agreement with China to limit imports of clothing and textiles, something the U.S. industry said was desperately needed to halt a surge that began in early January and has already cost thousands of American textile jobs.

The trade report showed that imports of clothing and textiles from China are up 50.4 percent through the first nine months of this year compared with the same period in 2004.

U.S. purchases of foreign oil rose by 4.4 percent in September, with the average price for a barrel of imported crude oil hitting an all-time high of $57.32, up from a $52.65 per barrel average in August.

After Katrina struck, crude oil prices briefly topped $70 per barrel, sending gasoline pump prices over $3 per gallon for a time. However, as Gulf Coast production has come back on line, those prices have moderated although they are still well above levels of a year ago.

Analysts said the drop in energy prices should help lower the trade deficit in coming months. The September deficit surpassed the old record of $60.4 billion set last March.

U.S. Senate wants to put 350,000 more Americans out of work!

Michael — Tue, 01 Nov 2005 21:27:44 GMT

The U.S. Senate is expected to vote TOMORROW on the Budget Reconciliation bill. Hidden inside the bill are provisions to triple the number of permanent U.S. jobs offered to foreign workers at a time when over 14 million American workers cannot find full-time jobs.

These new immigration & population increase measures were submitted by Sen. Specter (R-PA) and Sen. Kennedy (D-MA). These measures follow heavy lobbying from Microsoft and other corporations who wants cheap foreign workers to replace our American IT workers. A call to Senator Specter's office was answered with "these people can only wash dishes and stuff like that". I can assure you that these are IT workers mostly from India that will be taking good jobs. You would think that the staff of the Senator who introduced these measures would know what the legislation involves. Both political parties continue to show who they are fighting for- BIG BUSINESS!

Congress has already approved the importation of 1 million foreign workers (including their families) each year. These foreign workers are on top of the regular legal immigration numbers we approve each year.

America doesn't need the increase in population, pollution, congestion, crowded classrooms, healthcare costs, etc. The U.S. Census data shows that immigration causes about 87% of U.S. population growth.

Congress needs to end their unsustainable policies.

And Americans don't need to lose another 350,000 jobs to cheap foreign workers. These foreign workers will be given permanent residency in the U.S., so these IT jobs will be gone. This spending cut bill was already unacceptable. It not only cuts aid to students, but it also helps assure that good paying jobs are kept out of the reach of these same American students.

The measure is expected to pass.

Outsourcing from a cruise ship - More job losses for American IT workers

Michael — Sat, 15 Oct 2005 01:01:31 GMT

The U.S. government and corporate America continue to find more ways to give American workers the shaft.

Outsourcing from a cruise ship
Oct. 14, 2005
The Times of India

US has introduced a unique programme that promises a double bonanza for Indians vying for the BPO industry.

Called the SeaCode programme which will be launched in early 2006, it will deal with low cost distant shore outsourcing.

A cruise ship anchored off the California coast will house around 600 IT professionals who will execute global outsourcing projects, working in 12-hour shifts via the internet and microwave communication.

The best part is that those working in the programme will not need an H1B visa, as they will not be operating from land.

At the same time it promises to provide physical and virtual security, including the protection of US Intellectual Property laws.

The wages provided will be much better than what they could earn in India.

This could be a boon to India’s IT professionals, as these figures reveal: In 2004-05, the Indian offshore IT and business-process outsourcing industry will generate approximately $17.3 billion in revenues and employ an estimated 6,95,000 people.

So far, the SeaCode programme has received 1,000 enquiries of which 40 per cent are from India.

The ship would cost between $US10 million and $US30 million (Rs 43 crore to Rs 129 crore ) .

Expert airs concerns in outsourcing jobs overseas

Expert airs concerns in outsourcing jobs overseas
By LOUISE CONTINELLI
News Staff Reporter
10/3/2005
http://www.buffalonews.com/editorial/20051003/1048691.asp

If you've passed those striking workers in downtown Buffalo recently opposing outsourcing of jobs overseas, and think your job is safe, don't be so sure. It can be gone faster than you can say "pink slip."
"Outsourcing seeps into many jobs," warns Ron Hira, a Western New York outsourcing expert, before his appearance on a National Science Board meeting panel at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "A wide variety of positions - some high-skilled, some low - are vulnerable to outsourcing: computer programming to insurance claims processing to radiology to legal work."

Hira, who has testified several times before Congress on the implications of outsourcing, cited research that up to 14 million, or more than one in 10 of all jobs in this country, could be at risk, including area jobs. There's a glimmer of hope in that Washington policymakers are "at least talking about this," says the researcher, who now teaches public policy classes at Rochester Institute of Technology. But the downside, he adds, is "the subtext - "it's not really serious.' " He then quotes a CEO of a major offshore outsourcing firm who maintains that any task that can be sent down a wire can be outsourced.

"Think about how few jobs require face-to-face interaction with a customer - and you get an idea about how big an impact this is going to have on the U.S.," Hira says.

Even a college degree is no protection any more, as the outsourcing expert added: "It's a lot cheaper to educate people abroad than it is in this country. More education doesn't make you immune to having your job shipped overseas. The higher the skill level of the job, the larger the incentive is to outsource it. There's a greater wage differential between the U.S. and low-cost countries."

Hira points out that some American colleges now have overseas branches, adding, "China has also been increasing its science and engineering human capital at all levels - especially with a rapid increase in the number of doctorate holders."

For three years, Hira researched the exportation of jobs for his new study, "Outsourcing America," penned with his brother Anil, an international economic policy specialist.

The brothers' concerns are many.

"We're concerned about whether, and what types of, jobs are going to be available for our children, and their children in the future," Ron Hira notes. "We're concerned about our national security and economic competitiveness as a nation if we lose our advantages. We're concerned, finally, about the breakdown of cooperation between workers and companies, that made the U.S. the strongest economy and the most desired destination for our immigrants - including our own family."

There are lack of consequences for eliminating jobs in this nation.

"Unfortunately, many policies are actually accelerating outsourcing," Hira says. "It's not simply a natural economic process. We have a guest-worker policy that enables companies to import cheap foreign labor."

And then the ultimate insult: "They force their American workers to train their foreign replacements, transferring know-how, before laying off the American workers. Foreign workers then take this knowledge back to their countries and perform the work from there. It's simply amazing that we have policies that encourage this process of knowledge extraction. During the presidential election last year, Sen. [John F.] Kerry pointed out perverse incentives in the tax code that actually give a company incentive to expand its foreign, rather than U.S., operations.

"So, we have a tax system that actually encourages foreign job growth and penalizes U.S. jobs. And you know what? The U.S. Congress gave its blessing to this perversion by reauthorizing this part of the tax code in November."

Hira recommends reforming visa policies, rethinking worker training, reasserting and sustaining dominance in technology.

"The first step - acknowledge that a problem exists," he suggests. "There are many powerful people ignoring its profound implications on workers - and the U.S. economy."

US market being flooded by Bangladesh textiles.

Michael — Mon, 03 Oct 2005 19:36:40 GMT

US fears of Chinese textile exports are boon for Bangladesh

DHAKA (AFP) - The Bangladesh garment industry is experiencing unexpected growth due to US manufacturers' fears of being swamped by Chinese imports, officials say.

Nine months ago the industry's future looked dangerously uncertain after the abolition of an international quota system that guaranteed manufacturers access to overseas markets for their textile products.

Industry watchers predicted that many knitwear makers, which make up 42 percent of Bangladesh's garment exports, would go out of business in the face of intense competition from India and China.

But now figures for knitwear exports to the US during the first six months of 2005 have shown a rise of 116 per cent on the same period last year.

Analysts and officials say the abolition of the Multi-Fibre Arrangement (MFA) and new concerns among US manufacturers about being flooded by Chinese imports have worked in Bangladesh's favour.

A coalition of US textiles manufacturers has lobbied the government to impose quotas on some Chinese garment imports.

They argue that Chinese imports have soared since the end of the MFA quota system on December 31, 2004, putting US jobs at risk.

"The ongoing rows about Chinese textiles have brought the spotlight onto Bangladesh, said Mortuza Haider, a senior executive at US retailing giant Walmart's Bangladesh office.

"I think the growth will continue well into 2007 or maybe into the middle of 2008 as China will have to live with these restrictions up to that period," he added.

The US government has extended a review on whether quotas on four categories of Chinese textile imports are needed by a month until November 30.

Meanwhile, Bangladeshi knitwear manufacturers say they have been "overwhelmed" with orders from US buyers.

The increase has led to at least 92 new factories being set up and the creation of more than 100,000 new jobs.

"Before the end of the MFA quota system at the end of last year, only a few US buyers knew about us and our competitive advantages," said Fazlul Haq, president of the Bangladesh Knitwear Manufacturers and Exporters Association.

"But everything changed after January and buyers now can see that we can match China product by product and sometimes even be better," he added.

Bangladeshi economist Mustafizur Rahman of the think-tank Centre for Policy Dialogue said the country's knitwear manufacturers were partly reaping the benefit of measures taken in the run-up to the MFA abolition aimed at improving competitiveness.

"Exporters have diversified their products and are doing some quality products," he said.

Knitted garment makers, unlike woven garment manufacturers, were also able to keep prices lower because they do not have to rely on imported fabrics, added Rahman, who is a visiting professor at Yale University.

Another unqualified Bush appointee

newenergy — Tue, 20 Sep 2005 22:20:12 GMT

Bush has nominated Julie Myers to head ICE, the agency in charge of immigration & immigration enforcement. Mrs. Myers once worked for Ken Starr and her uncle is Gen. Richard Myers. She has no experience working in immigration and has only supervised just over 150 people in one position. The ICE position would be in charge of over 22,000 people. She has been loyal to Pres. Bush and the Republican party. It is amazing that this has taken place after the FEMA director Brown incident.

Fresh debate over tech workers as special US visa program filled

Fresh debate over tech workers as special US visa program filled

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20050817/ts_alt_afp/usimmigrationtechnologyjobs_050817071454

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The US government has filled its allotment of 65,000 visas for the 2006 fiscal year for foreign workers with special skills, prompting renewed debate over the need for high-tech workers from abroad.

Figures from US Citizenship and Immigration Services showed the 65,000 limit for the so-called H-1B visa program was reached last week for the fiscal year starting October 1.

There remain some 12,000 visas under a provision for foreigners with doctorates or masters' degrees. But high-tech industry representatives say the rapid filling of the main quota suggests the United States is failing to get enough qualified engineers and technical workers.

The workers with H-1B visas come from many countries and industries, but historically a large number have been high-tech specialists from India, with significant numbers from China, South Korea and the Philippines.

"America's well-kept secret is that it has rarely produced enough American-born workers with the requisite science and engineering background to support its knowledge economy," said John Palafoutas of the American Electronics Association.

"Our safety valve has been the H-1B visa program, which was designed to augment the workforce."

The tech industry says the latest figures point to a need for expanding the visa program.

"Denying entry of the world's most highly educated talent into the United States is taking its toll," said Palafoutas.

"We should be stapling green cards to the diplomas of every foreign national who graduates from a US educational institution with a masters or PhD, and we should keep the world's best and brightest here in the US to help strengthen our economy."

But critics of the program say the system is being abused by companies to bring in foreigners at lower wages even when there are qualified Americans available.

Jack Martin of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a group aimed at curbing both legal and illegal immigration, said companies are taking advantage of the H-1B program for purposes not intended under the law.

"There is no shortage unless wage offers for high-tech workers are rapidly rising, which they are not," he said.

"It makes little sense to be hiring large numbers of foreign workers when jobs are being sent out of the country through outsourcing and there are large numbers of unemployed Americans with the skills to do those jobs."

The H-1B program provided as many as 195,000 visas during the tech boom, but the limit was lowered in 2003. Still, Martin said that with the additional 20,000 for those with advanced degrees and exemptions for universities and nonprofit organizations, the number is likely to be more than 100,000.

Martin said surveys indicate that foreigners often are paid about 30 percent less than Americans in comparable jobs, suggesting the system is being abused.

"It's a badly flawed program that does not serve its intended purpose," said Ron Hira, a professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology and advisor to the IEEE-USA, which represents electrical and electronics engineers.

"Industry says they are using it just to bring in the most highly skilled people," Hira said. "But there are entries for eight-dollar-an-hour accountants and 17,000-dollar-a-year computer programmers."

Industry officials say the program enables companies to keep more jobs in the United States. But Hira said some firms simply use the program to train workers to be sent back to their home countries for outsourcing operations.

"If this were just the 'best and brightest,' employers would be sponsoring these people for immigrant visas, but that is not happening," Hira said.

Harris Miller of the Information Technology Association of America said US firms are losing many skilled workers because of the caps, and urged Congress to increase the numbers.

"The H-1B visa program is important to US competitiveness in high technology," said Miller.

"H-1B visa holders are foreign-born individuals with talent and expertise unavailable in local markets. We believe a significant increase is required to meet the need for specialized skills and keep companies -- and as a result jobs for US workers -- growing at a steady pace."
