House Subcommittee Hearing on H-1B Visas Misses an Opportunity to Stand Up for Unemployed Americans

By Jonathan Osborne, Thursday, March 31, 2011, 5:23 PM EST

The House Immigration Subcommittee hosted a hearing on the impact of the H-1B visa program and whether it meets the needs of the U.S economy and its workers. Unfortunately, the issues of fraud and program management remained the primary topics of concern instead of whether or not foreign workers are still necessary during the peak of our recession.

Immigration and Health Care: Legislation on the Table WILL Extend Health Care to Illegal Aliens

By James Edwards, Updated Wednesday, September 9, 2009, 9:47 PM EST

Just about the time the Center for Immigration Studies was holding a press briefing at the National Press Club about the immigration and health reform connection, proponents from President Obama on down were denying that illegal aliens would receive taxpayer-funded health care under pending legislation.

Professor Carol Swain

Carol Swain, professor of law and political science at Vanderbilt University, has noted in the Nashville Tennessean that Pres. Obama has now promised to lead the way to cure cancer, end foreign oil dependence and guarantee higher education to everyone who wants it. But when it comes to keeping illegal aliens out of U.S. jobs so that unemployed Americans (especially Blacks and Hispanics) can have them, Obama can't seem to lift a finger.

By Roy Beck, Friday, February 10, 2012, 5:39 PM EST

NumbersUSA's Top 10 Immigration-Reduction Grades for 2011 belong to U.S. Representatives whose efforts would have shone in any Congress. But they looked particularly stellar in relation to the abject immigration failures of the House Republican leadership.

The Media's Identity-Theft Blindspot

By Jeremy Beck, Wednesday, February 8, 2012, 10:47 AM EST

When the media covers identity theft and fraud as an isolated story, it treats those crimes as serious felonies that adversely impact the lives of victims in real and compelling ways. Young children are often targets, and by the time they realize they have had their identities stolen, the damage has already been done. But when the media covers immigration, it ignores the numerous felonies that aliens have to commit to live and work in the U.S. illegally without being detected.

Now We Know -- White House Clarifies War On Jobless Higher-Skilled Americans

By Roy Beck, Friday, February 3, 2012, 11:41 AM EST

Want to get your blood pressure up?  Read the transcript of a White House press conference this week about the insistence that the hundreds of thousands of unemployed high-skilled Americans apparently don't exist.   While Pres. Obama was showing compassion to the wife of ONE unemployed high-skill American worker this week in a much-publicized internet exchange, his Administration was making it clear that it will multiply the difficulty of hundreds of thousands of other unemployed high-skill Americans to get a job. 

News to Pres. Obama? 1.8 Million Americans With Engineering DEGREES Don't Have Engineering JOBS

By Roy Beck, Wednesday, February 1, 2012, 6:44 PM EST

Pres. Obama's own staff has produced the data to show that the President was wrong Monday when he said America doesn't have enough engineers, was wrong last week in the State of the Union to say we need more high-skilled foreign workers, and was wrong in sending out spokespersons to claim that not enough Americans are obtaining engineering degrees. But the President -- like most Republican leaders -- tends not to look for facts when thinking about immigration but just looks to his elite business cronies. Look at the numbers in this shocking new report . . .

Fla. Vote Winners Are Latino Dignity & Self-Deportation

By Roy Beck, Tuesday, January 31, 2012, 10:33 PM EST

Offered a stark choice on the illegal immigration issue, Florida Latino Republicans today broke nearly 2-1 for the candidate with the firmest opposition to amnesty and strongest support for enforcement.  It was a strong rebuke of the majority of media commentators who insist that Latino-Americans can only be won by promising rewards for lawbreaking. And it was a victory for the concept of self-deportation as an alternative to mass deportation and mass legalization. 

Pres. Obama Panders to the High-Tech Lobby at the Expense of Unemployed Americans

By Andrew Good, Tuesday, January 31, 2012, 5:35 PM EST

A Google-sponsored town hall event with President Obama Monday evening quickly turned to immigration issues.In the most publicized moment of the event, a woman from Texas asked Pres. Obama why he supported importing more high-tech foreign workers when her husband, who is a semiconductor engineer, has been unemployed for the past three years. Pres. Obama's only response was to pander to the high-tech lobby.
