Perhaps the Biggest Political Lie: The Number Of Illegal Aliens in America...?

THE BIGGEST POLITICAL LIE: THE NUMBER OF ILLEGAL ALIENS IN AMERICA There is no doubt in my mind that the “caravan” of potential illegal aliens is nothing less than an expeditionary invasion of America’s sovereignty. Should these so-called migrants arrive in the border area, there is likewise, little or no doubt that they will be admitted to the United States – having been coached on what to say to obtain asylum in America. With the number of illegal aliens coming over the border year after year, it is a bald-faced political lie that the illegal alien population in America has been steady at 11-12 million for the past decade… While nobody knows the real numbers, and the government refuses to publicly track the numbers, researchers at the Yale University School of Management, professors Jonathan S. Feinstein and Edward H. Kaplan and postdoctoral associate Mohammad Fazel-Zarandi, have attempted to quantify the number of illegal aliens in the United States. Published on September 21, 2018, the study titled, “The Number of Undocumented Immigrants in the United States: Estimates Based on Demographic Modeling with Data from 1990 to 2016,” the study concludes: “Our results lead us to the conclusion that the widely accepted estimate of 11.3 million undocumented immigrants in the United States is too small. Our model estimates indicate that the true number is likely to be larger, with an estimated ninety-five percent probability interval ranging from 16.2 to 29.5 million undocumented immigrants.” The study, unlike many of the studies related to global climate change, makes its data publicly available for replication or falsification by any qualified researcher… The Number of Undocumented Immigrants in the United States: Estimates Based on Demographic Modeling with Data from 1990 to 2016 Abstract We apply standard demographic principles of inflows and outflows to estimate the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States, using the best available data, including some that have only recently become available. Our analysis covers the years 1990 to 2016. We develop an estimate of the number of undocumented immigrants based on parameter values that tend to underestimate undocumented immigrant inflows and overstate outflows; we also show the probability distribution for the number of undocumented immigrants based on simulating our model over parameter value ranges. Our conservative estimate is 16.7 million for 2016, nearly fifty percent higher than the most prominent current estimate of 11.3 million, which is based on survey data and thus different sources and methods. The mean estimate based on our simulation analysis is 22.1 million, essentially double the current widely accepted estimate. Our model predicts a similar trajectory of growth in the number of undocumented immigrants over the years of our analysis, but at a higher level. While our analysis delivers different results, we note that it is based on many assumptions. The most critical of these concern border apprehension rates and voluntary emigration rates of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. These rates are uncertain, especially in the 1990’s and early 2000’s, which is when—both based on our modeling and the very different survey data approach—the number of undocumented immigrants increases most significantly. Our results, while based on a number of assumptions and uncertainties, could help frame debates about policies whose consequences depend on the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States.

While the number of individuals does not look like a large number when compared with those already here, it could just be the straw that broke the camel’s back – or as the climate researchers are wont to say, the tipping point that turns into a national catastrophe. And, the other party looks at these “migrants” as a cheap source of labor. We are screwed no matter which party wins. At least, with President Trump, we have a fighting chance to stem the invasion – possibly even legislating a respite to allow those already here to self-identify and assimilate. It is time to vote. The choices are clear. Nation-destroying progressive socialist democrats or holding the line with Republicans. sanity -- steve

Before You Vote for a Progressive (Socialist) Politician....consider this!

BEFORE YOU CAST THAT VOTE FOR A PROGRESSIVE POLITICIAN ... Like celebrities, you think you know a politician until the day they do something unthinkable and you realize you never did know them at all … TRUMP-2016 It is now time to decide who YOU are… Are you indifferent and ill-informed about the politicians and their agendas? Are you content to give up a portion of your individualism and allow the government to dictate the important things in your life like your healthcare, your housing, your employment, and how you live your daily life? Are you willing to work hard and then see the government give a portion of your earnings to another country or your neighbor who simply relaxes and goes with the flow? Are you awed by celebrity and believe most of what the mainstream media tells you? Politicians may hide behind words, but they can’t keep up the charade for long. Sooner or later the truth comes out, and all is revealed. Over the years, socialism and communism as a political ideology have been gross failures, ending up in totalitarian states run by virtual dictators and their cronies. They sell the utopian dream, talk about justice and equality, while they convince you that you are a victim and only they can redress your historical or current grievance in return for political power. But the real truth is, they need to change how they label their ideology, lest they reveal the ugly truth. Marxism became communism, communism became socialists, socialists became liberals, liberals became progressives, and now progressives became social democrats. It’s a shell game because if you take any one of these ideologies are extend it to its logical end; you have totalitarianism under a dictator and his cronies. Where the only equality is the equality found in death, suffering, and having justice meted out by petty bureaucrats who wield their power with a vengeance. Whereas, if you extend capitalism to its logical end, you have more freedom and capitalism. So when Bernie Sanders (the man who honeymooned in Russia), Hillary Clinton (studied Saul Alinsky), and the other Social Democrats tell you that their way is best – listen to them. They are telling you who they are and giving you a glimpse of your future. Higher taxes, more regulations, less personal freedom, and you and your children will never see the impossible utopia they promise. You may not like President Donald Trump or the GOP, but it is better than the alternative… He may be crude, but he is the first President in decades to keep his campaign promises or attempting to push his agenda through a corrupt Congress who favors big government and big spending. Trump reduced taxes, reduced restrictive administrative rules and regulations, promoted public policies that gave us a robust economy, and brought back a measure of respect from foreign governments. All while being smeared by the opposition party, the establishment members of his own party, and a progressive mainstream media that is an echo chamber of anti-Trump rhetoric. And, it does not seem to bother him as he fights back against those that attack him – sometimes his appointees and employees. Bottom line… You have a choice to make. Do you want to cede your freedom and control over your life to the progressive socialist democrats? Do you want to enable the progressive socialist democrats to politicize all of America’s institutions and weaponize petty laws and regulations to be used against ordinary citizens? Do you want progressive socialist democrats to be above the law and to escape being held responsible for their corruption and criminality? Sometimes the choices are hard. Like in California where you must cast a vote for the despicable Senator Dianne Feinstein, who attempted to smear a nominee for the Supreme Court with decades-old allegations, little more than hearsay, about something that may have happened when the candidate was in high school 35 years ago and kept a Chinese spy on staff for at least 20 years – or Kevin de Leon who appears to be a socialist with allegiance to illegal aliens, open borders, and the Mexican government. Damned if you do or damned if you don’t. At least a vote for de Leon will remove the corrupt Feinstein from her committee assignments and prevent further damage to our country. It is amazing how many progressive socialist democrats are actually un-American and believe the U.S. Constitution is outdated. It is up to you and your neighbors to decide the course of history. Freedom or high-tech slavery. The choice is yours. -- steve

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIPS OF CHILDREN OF ILLEGAL ALIENS...

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP OF CHILDREN OF ILLEGAL ALIENS Most of those pontificating on whether President Trump has the right to reverse conveying birthright citizenship on children of illegal aliens are ignorant of the Constitution and are simply engaging in a form of political pandering. Believe it or not, it may be possible for President Trump to restrict the citizenship of children born to foreigners and aliens by an Executive Order which would simply reverse a bureaucratic interpretation that was created sometime in the 1960s. There is no provision in the Constitution to confer citizenship on the children of illegal aliens and it appears that this provision was created sometime in the 1960s by a bureaucratic interpretation of the INS which has never been voted on by Congress nor examined by the United States Supreme Court. Furthermore, if one wanted to examine the writings of Senator Jacob Howard, the author of the citizenship clause in the Fourteenth Amendment, they could easily read his explanation in the U.S. Congressional Documents and Debates, 1774 - 1875 from the Congressional Globe, Senate, 39th Congress, 1st Session - Page 2890 for May 30, Senator Howard explained in clear English -- remember it is our national language that unites us -- who would fall within the jurisdiction of the Amendment. "...[E]very person born within the limits of the United State, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States, but will include every other class of person. Here is proof positive… sh-1 sh-2 Read the Senate debate over provisions involving the 14th Amendment from the government archives for yourself. Bottom line… The idea that the Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, can simply say “You can’t end birthright citizenship with an executive order. You obviously cannot do that. As a conservative, I'm a believer in following the plain text of the Constitution and I think in this case the 14th Amendment is pretty clear. Where we obviously totally agree with the President is getting at the root issue here, which is unchecked illegal immigration.” Perhaps Ryan should review "consent of the governed" and the definition of sovereignty. The progressive pundits who point out that there is no precedent and no legal authority, do not understand that it was an Executive Branch agency who interpreted the Constitution and implemented public policy. And, that the President of the United States has the plenary power to reverse any rule or regulation promulgated by an Executive Branch agency. As for Ryan noting that he is a conservative, this is pure bullpucky. This is one of those issues that will clearly demonstrate that the progressive socialist democrats and their RINO (Republican In Name Only) cohorts are engaging in self-serving political pandering and do give a rat’s ass about how much harm this unconstitutional process is harming the United States nor do they care to follow the U.S. Constitution when it puts their political agenda or candidacy at risk. They are not Americans – they are cowards. President Trump is not trying to change the Constitution, he is trying to change bureaucratic excess and return to the original meaning of the 14th Amendment. We are so screwed. -- steve

Greece: Another Democratic Socialists Failure! It’s Never Worked, Never Will! Check Venezuela...

Greece and the Grim Consequences of Democratic Socialism by Dan Mitchell My left-leaning friends periodically tell me that there's a big difference between their benign policies of democratic socialism and the wretched track records of Marxist socialism, national socialism, and other forms of totalitarianism. I agree. Living in a European welfare state, after all, is much better than living in a hellhole like Cuba, North Korea, Zimbabwe, or Venezuela. Not only do you enjoy the rule of law (no Khmer Rouge-style concentration camps!), but you also enjoy considerable prosperity compared to the rest of the world. But there are two things to understand about that prosperity. First, it's largely a legacy of the strong growth that occurred before welfare states were enacted. Second, statist policies eventually and inevitably will reduce a nation's prosperity. Let's consider the case of Greece. I've written many times about the debilitating impact of high tax rates and wasteful spending in that nation. It has the least economic freedom of all nations in Western Europe, so it's no surprise that it is falling further behind. But sometimes a compelling example is the best way of helping people understand the harmful impact of big government. We were on Filis Street — a warren of alleyways and dingy two-story houses — which has been home to Athenian brothels for most of the past century. The trade is more desperate now because of Greece’s lost decade since the 2008 financial crisis, which has left no profession unscathed. The collapsed economy and the arrival of tens of thousands of migrants have pushed even more women into prostitution — even as prices have fallen through the floor. ...“I had a flower shop for 18 years — and now I’m here out of necessity, not out of joy,” said Dimitra, a middle-aged woman who lost her shop in the crisis and now works as a madam...the number of prostitutes in the city had increased by 7 percent since 2012, yet prices have dropped drastically, both for women working on the streets and in brothels. “In 2012, it would require an average of 39 euros” for a client to hire a prostitute in a brothel, Mr. Lazos said, “while in 2017 just €17 — a 56 percent decrease.” The saddest part of the story is the commentary of the prostitutes. "I hate sex,” Elena said. “I like the money, not the job.” Anastasia...has worked as a prostitute since she was 14. She’s now 33, and says the work is harder than ever. “People don’t have money anymore,” she said... Monica, a 30-year-old Albanian prostitute...spends six to eight hours a day trying to entice clients, but most do not stay. “They don’t have money,” she said. “They haven’t had money for the past seven years.” ...Many Greek men are simply too poor to pay anymore. I support legal prostitution, in part because the alternative of pushing these unfortunate women even further into the underground economy would be worse. But that doesn't change the fact that these women don't have good lives. And the misery of democratic socialism in Greece is making their lives even sadder. The bottom line is that I now have three awful anecdotes from Greece to help illustrate the wretched impact of big government. In addition to the price-cutting prostitutes we discussed today, let's not forget that Greece subsidizes pedophiles and requires stool samples to set up online companies. Needless to say, I hope we never go that far in the wrong direction. The moral of the story is that socialism (however defined) has never worked in any form at any time in history

HAMAS: THE MIDDLE EAST MAFIA!

HAMAS: THE MAFIA OF THE MIDDLE EAST It should be apparent to all that the Palestinians, no matter what they say and no matter what Israel’s response, cannot become an autonomous self-supporting and self-sustaining state because they produce nothing but terror and live off the generosity of grossly anti-Semitic European nations, especially France and Italy. and Spain. These are the people who site weapons in population centers among hospitals, schools, and Mosques hoping for civilian deaths that can be publicized to attract greater donations from their anti-Semitic supporters. Supplemented, of course, by direct attacks with children and women at the forefront at Israeli borders and walls to provoke Israelis to respond – and create additional exploitable deaths. Unfortunately, Israel has interrupted the Palestinian’s business model with their Iron Dome rocket defense system which allows them to counter Israeli rockets at altitude and preclude the necessity of direct airstrikes or incursion into Palestinian territory. It is not perfect, but effective enough so the Palestinians are compelled to up the ante. Especially when one of their premier sponsors, Saudi Arabia, is more interested in fighting Iran as is becoming closer to Israel. So now they are turning to the protection and extortion tactics used by the early-century Mafia. Nice country you have there, it would be a shame if something were to happen to it… Hamas demands $15 million per month in exchange for calm — report Israeli security cabinet set to convene Sunday for a briefing on the situation in Gaza after weekend marked by salvos of rockets, IAF responses Hamas on Saturday demanded that Israel transfer the Gaza-based terror group $15 million in cash from Qatar every month in order to prevent further escalation in the Palestinian enclave. In a document handed to Egypt, the terror group’s Gaza leader Yahya Sinwar added that the organization expects Israel to transfer the money by next Thursday, Hadashot TV reported. According to the news station, the demand for cash is intended to circumvent the Israeli coordination and supervision mechanism that was in place until now, according to which the Palestinian Authority would pay Gaza worker salaries transparently Israel has not yet responded to the Hamas demand. The Israeli security cabinet is set to convene Sunday for a briefing on the situation in Gaza, as well as on the efforts being made by Egypt to broker a ceasefire between the Jewish state and Hamas. Earlier Saturday, the Islamic Jihad terror group announced it had agreed to an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire to end an escalating exchange of fire with Israel, as Israeli jets struck sites in the Gaza Strip belonging to the Palestinian terror organization after salvos of rockets were fired at Israel late Friday and early Saturday. A spokesman for the group told the Gaza-based Safa news site that a ceasefire agreement went into effect following Egyptian communication with its leadership. He said Islamic Jihad would remain committed to the ceasefire as long as Israel did likewise. A few questions… (1) How is it that the Arabs, named Palestinians by terrorist Yasser Arafat after consultation with his communist masters in Russia for publicity purposes, remain the longest-lived group of so-called “refugees” in the world? One would think that after three generations, they would no longer be refugees as they have nothing to take refuge from. (2) How is it that the surrounding oil-rich nations have not absorbed these Arabs in the normal scheme of things? Whoops, I forgot. These Arabs were exiled from Jordan, Egypt, and prohibited from entering Saudi Arabia en masse as they represented a terrorist threat to the existing governments. One need only see the destruction of Lebanon, formerly called the Switzerland of the Middle East, to understand what sectarian terrorism and violence brings. (3) How is it that the world does not accept the fact that the violence is one-sided and that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was absolutely correct when he said, “If the Palestinians lay down their weapons, there will be peace. If the Israelis lay down their weapons, there will be no more Israel?” (4) Why does the largely anti-Semitic United Nations refuse to impose financial sanctions on the Palestinians, cutting off all banking connections and repatriating the money stolen by Palestinian leaders from their own people? 60 MINUTES REPORT: Arafat's Billions (November 7, 2003) "What is Mr. Arafat and the Palestinian Authority worth today?" asks accountant Jim Prince. "Who is controlling that money? Where is that money? How do we get it back?" So far, Prince's team has determined that part of the Palestinian leader's wealth was in a secret portfolio worth close to $1 billion -- with investments in companies like a Coca-Cola bottling plant in Ramallah, a Tunisian cell phone company and venture capital funds in the U.S. and the Cayman Islands. Although the money for the portfolio came from public funds like Palestinian taxes, virtually none of it was used for the Palestinian people; it was all controlled by Arafat. And, Prince says, none of these dealings were made public. Why was €1m a month sent to Arafat's wife? (February 12, 2004) French public prosecutors said yesterday they had opened a money-laundering inquiry into suspect transfers totalling some €9m (£6m) into Paris bank accounts held by the wife of the Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat. The preliminary inquiry, which will determine whether a full investigation is warranted, was launched after the Bank of France and Tracfin, the French anti-laundering agency, noticed regular payments of about €1m a month entering Suha Arafat's accounts. An official said the money, from "a Swiss institution", was paid into two separate accounts at the Arab Bank and the Banque Nationale de Paris in the name of Mrs Arafat, who lives in Paris. The inquiry, which began in October last year, is confined to payments between July 2002 and July 2003, he said, although the transfers started about a year earlier. Who will get Arafat's millions? / Wife is fighting Palestinian officials for assets, Arab TV reports (November 7, 2004) The wife of Yasser Arafat was locked in a bitter dispute with Palestinian officials over the fate of his vast secret fortune as the Palestinian leader lay apparently near death in a French hospital, according to a report on the Arab TV network Al-Jazeera. Arafat's secret assets have been estimated at anywhere between $200 million (Forbes magazine) and $6 billion (U.S. and Israeli intelligence). Forbes listed him ninth in its ranking of the world's wealthiest heads of state -- even though he is a ruler without a country and many of his people are refugees. Bottom line… One might think that the first step in achieving a lasting peace would be for Hamas to recognize the legitimacy of the State of Israel, remove the destruction of Israel from the tenets of its Charter, and destroy all of the teaching material that instructs yet another generation of children to hate Jews. One might think that if the United Nations, France, and other nations are so concerned with “hate crime,” that they would look at the Palestinian territories as being worthy of investigation and further sanctions. We live in a dangerous world where conflict is exploited for political and financial gain. As longs as the Jews remain scapegoats for the world’s ills and the bad behavior of dictators, Jews should arm themselves and live by the mantra “Never Again.” Stand-w-Israel -- steve
