CIS: Worksite Enforcement Plummets under Obama

A new report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) found that worksite enforcement has plummeted over the past couple of years. Using internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) statistics, the report charges that the Obama administration has "largely abandoned efforts to enforce the laws against hiring illegal workers." (CIS, ICE Records Reveal Steep Drop in Worksite Enforcement Since 2013, June 2015)
When President Obama took office in 2009 he dramatically changed the way ICE handled worksite enforcement. Rather than continuing the practice of sending ICE agents into worksites and arresting illegal alien workers, President Obama ordered ICE to audit I-9 documents required for new hires and impose fines on the employers. (ICE News Release, July 1, 2009; see New York Times, July 9, 2010; FAIR Legislative Update, Mar. 5, 2014) However, while previous worksite enforcement efforts were unannounced, ICE started giving employers advanced notice that they will inspect the I-9 forms — giving employers who used illegal alien labor an opportunity to cover their tracks before ICE arrived.
The ICE data analyzed by CIS show that the steep decline in the number of worksite I-9 audits has resulted in fewer employer arrests and fines collected. From 2010 to 2014, there were approximately 200 employer arrests a year though the number has been trending downward since a high of 240 in 2012. (CIS, ICE Records Reveal Steep Drop in Worksite Enforcement Since 2013, June 2015) This year, CIS projects there will only be 65 employer arrests. (Id.) Similarly, from 2011 to 2014, ICE collected more than $8 million a year in fines. (Id.) In 2015, ICE is expected to collect approximately half of that, or $4,620,000. (Id.)
The abandonment of worksite enforcement also corresponds with the failure of S. 744, the mass guest worker amnesty bill. From 2009 to 2013 (the year the Senate introduced and passed S. 744), ICE worksite audits increased from 1,444 to 3,127, presumably in an attempt to show that the Obama administration would enforce our immigration laws. (Id.) Then, in 2014 when it was clear the House would not pass the amnesty bill, worksite audits significantly dropped to 1,320. (Id.) This year, ICE is on pace to perform only 435 worksite audits.

Sorry, stoners

Sorry, stoners: New study shows 'medical' marijuana doesn't actually help with anything
onestly, if you ever believed the nonsense that marijuana was "medicine," you probably don't have the brain capacity to process the information I'm about to give you. Then again, there's dumb and there's willfully delusional. You can have the ability to know better, but choose to embrace nonsense anyway because you want so desperately to get high.

I'd say that still makes you an idiot. Just that you're an idiot by choice.

At any rate, you know that "medical" marijuana was sold as something desperately needed by the old and the sick suffering from cataracts and glaucoma. In reality, most of the cards approved by doctors go to 25-year-old dumbasses who claim to be suffering from "chronic pain" and "headaches." The doctors know it's a scam too, but they don't care. They figure the public is sufficiently sold on this scam, and many of them probably like to get high too.

But it was only a matter of time before someone actually looked into whether marijuana can function as a medicine. And . . . uh oh:

Medical marijuana has not been proven to work for many illnesses that state laws have approved it for, according to the first comprehensive analysis of research on its potential benefits.

The strongest evidence is for chronic pain and for muscle stiffness in multiple sclerosis, according to the review, which evaluated 79 studies involving more than 6,000 patients. Evidence was weak for many other conditions, including anxiety, sleep disorders, and Tourette's syndrome and the authors recommend more research.

The analysis is among several medical marijuana articles published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association. They include a small study suggesting that many brand labels for edible marijuana products list inaccurate amounts of active ingredients. More than half of brands tested had much lower amounts than labeled, meaning users might get no effect.

Highlights from the journal:
THE ANALYSIS
The researchers pooled results from studies that tested marijuana against placebos, usual care or no treatment. That's the most rigorous kind of research but many studies found no conclusive evidence of any benefit. Side effects were common and included dizziness, dry mouth and sleepiness. A less extensive research review in the journal found similar results.

It's possible medical marijuana could have widespread benefits, but strong evidence from high-quality studies is lacking, authors of both articles say.

But wait, you say. There is evidence it works for "chronic pain"! The study says so!

Of course it does. The same morons who claimed to have "chronic pain" - which no one can prove or disprove - now claim the pot is making them feel better. In the meantime, when it comes to real, clinically recognized conditions, it does little or nothing to help.

That's because it's not medicine. And by the way, you know I've long argued that if stoners really want marijuana to be seen as "medicine," they should let it go through the rigors of FDA testing like every legitimate pharmaceutical product. That's when they always start railing against the corruption of the FDA and so on. Why do they do that? Because they always knew that if anyone ever really tested it, they would find what this study found.

It's not medicine. It does nothing. This was all a scam from the beginning.

And you can save your anecdotal retorts because I don't believe a single one of you. You'll say whatever you think you need to say so you can keep smoking weed, and you really should think about how pathetic that makes you.

Importing a Potential Epidemic

By now most Americans are familiar with the Obama administration's ongoing effort to force-feed amnesty for illegals to a largely recalcitrant American public. The most egregious part of this effort occurred during last year's border "surge" when the administration not only embraced the admittance of tens of thousands of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) into our nation, but the purposeful and secret dispersal of them into all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

What Americans don't know is that the Obama administration ignored Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines that apply to legal immigrants and prevent the unvaccinated, or those with a "communicable disease of public health significance," from entering the country. As a result, it is quite possible the outbreak of unknown diseases or those mostly eradicated in the U.S. for quite some time is no coincidence. The administration's stance on the issue? A combination of silence, denial, or blame-shifting to the anti-vaxxer crowd.

We begin with last year's outbreak of Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68), a disease that paralyzed and killed American children. That in and of itself should have elicited a media firestorm, along with demands for establishing the origins of the outbreak beyond a reasonable doubt. Yet coverage was scant. Reporter Sharryl Attkisson revealed the disease was first identified in California in 1962, but that outbreaks had been relatively rare. She further noted the CDC "hasn't suggested reasons for the current uptick or its origin." Sundance at theconservativetreehouse.com attempted to correlate the outbreaks of the disease with the location of UAC shelters. And while part of his investigation was stymied by the reality that the administration kept many of those shelter locations secret, "there are significant numbers of them in both cities in which the current outbreak was first identified," he explained.

Ultimately, it was the Daily Caller that reported the disease "was likely propelled through America by President Barack Obama's decision to allow tens of thousands of Central Americans across the Texas border, according to a growing body of genetic and statistical evidence," further noting "the epidemic included multiple strains of the virus, and that it appeared simultaneously in multiple independent locations."

Nonetheless the CDC simply denied the link, despite the reality that the EV-D68 outbreak in 2014 infected at least 538 people in 47 states, even as a study published on the CDC's own website reveals the disease "is one of the most rarely reported serotypes, with only 26 reports throughout the 36-year study period (1970 through 2006)."

89 illegals detained at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, NM tested positive for tuberculosis
Last July, the El Paso Times revealed that 89 illegals detained at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, NM tested positive for tuberculosis. Officials were initially reluctant to tell the media because of the concern that it might spread fear. Last September at Providence Memorial Hospital in El Paso, TX, five infants tested positive for the tuberculosis infection, with an additional 700 infants and 40 hospital workers potentially infected. All of them were exposed to the disease by an unnamed hospital employee. Again, most Americans are unaware the U.S. Department of Education issued guidelines for school attendance by UACs, stating that such children cannot be excluded even if they fail to provide "requisite health or immunization information required of other students," the memo stated. Last May, 28 people tested positive for TB at Olathe Northwest High School in Kansas.

All coincidental, or unrelated to illegal aliens? In Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, the three nations where most of last year's border surge originated, the tuberculosis infection rate is nearly 10 times that of the United States.

In July of 2014, Former Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) wrote a letter to the CDC expressing concern about the "grave public health threats" posed by the influx of illegals, insisting that reports of illegal migrants "carrying deadly diseases…are particularly concerning." The 30-year physician urged the agency to take immediate action to assess the risk and notify the public.

Unfortunately, the CDC is an agency with a credibility problem. Last year it bungled the handling of Ebola "index patient" Thomas Eric Duncan, resulting in two healthcare workers contracting the deadly disease. One of them was allowed to board an airliner despite calling the CDC several times to report early symptoms. This year a report compiled by 11 experts in biosafety, laboratory science and research, stated the CDC's "laboratory safety training is inadequate" and the agency is "on the way to losing credibility." Two incidents were highlighted. In May, avian bird flu samples were unintentionally mixed with the deadly H5N1 influenza strain and shipped to a USDA lab, and in June, dozens of employees risked exposure to anthrax because the agency did not follow proper sterilization protocols.

Thus when the CDC largely dismisses any connection between illegals and the surge of measles in 2014, (along with a 2015 pace on track to top it), one must remain skeptical, especially when the agency itself makes unprovable assumptions. "Although we aren't sure exactly how this year's outbreak began, we assume that someone got infected overseas, visited the Disneyland parks and spread the disease to others," said Anne Schuchat, an assistant surgeon general and director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. That statement is hardly reassuring from the same agency that declared measles had been "eliminated" in America—defined as the absence of continuous disease transmission for 12 months or more in a specific geographic area—by 2000.

Media defenders are quick to point out that Mexico and Central American countries largely responsible for the illegal influx have higher vaccination rates than the U.S.

But as Border Patrol veteran Chris Cabrera pointed out last August, many potentially diseased illegals are "slipping through the cracks" because he and his fellow agents have been overwhelmed by the onslaught. "This problem isn't contained in the border areas. [They] are coming in here, they're going north, and it's going to affect the entire country," he warned.

Measles, scabies, chicken pox and strep throat
A Fox News report last July brings another element to the mix. At Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, TX, doctors and nurses working there were threatened with arrest if they divulged any information about the contagion threat at that illegal refugee camp. Members of BCFS, a security force hired by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHS), likened themselves to Brown Shirts, and workers themselves were stripped of cellphones and other communication devices during their shifts. Anyone found with a phone was immediately terminated. Nonetheless, workers revealed camp children had measles, scabies, chicken pox and strep throat. "They're going to crush the system," warned a nurse who wished to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation. "We can't sustain this. They are overwhelming the system and I think it's a travesty."

Thus the obvious question arises: how many other facilities involved with illegals and dangerous diseases are operating under the same veil of secrecy and threats? Sadly in an Obama administration dedicated to an amnesty onslaught by any means necessary Americans may never learn the answer to that question. And the administration will be aided and abetted by a leftist media more than willing to label any attempt to establish causation between illegals and disease as fear mongering and/or xenophobic.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever
Regardless, reality intrudes. Dengue hemorrhagic fever is another disease being attributed to illegals. "The big picture here is that we are getting all these diseases brought into the United States by the 'imported disease people' from Latin America," insists Dr. Lee Hieb, past president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. "We don't generally test for dengue fever, because until recently we have not had hordes of people coming into the United States from areas of the world like Latin America where dengue fever is endemic," she added.

Dengue fever, as well as the equally grim affliction known as the chikungunya virus, are spread by mosquitos. It is believed both diseases are fueled by people who became ill while traveling abroad, as well as illegals who brought them into the country on clothing, baggage, liquids, and food. In September, 120,000 cases and 60 deaths attributed to dengue fever were declared in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, and the CDC warns it is only a matter of time before native mosquitos are impacted. Their "solution" for both afflictions since there are no vaccines for either? "Avoid mosquito bites," their website advises.

Chikungunya and Enterovirus 68
In their piece on EV-D68, the Daily Caller pressed a number of government researchers, health experts and academics to provide data exonerating Obama administration officials with regard to the possible linkage between the disease and the influx of UACs. The DC noted that all of them "refused to comment, or else urged self-censorship," because "it could spike existing public opposition" to the efforts of a pro-amnesty president and his party, as well as Republicans beholden to their Chamber of Commerce and Silicon Vally masters, who want cheap labor as much as Democrats want guaranteed votes. The website further noted Democrats could make life exceedingly difficult "for grant-dependent American scientists who discover politically damaging information."

And once again, if such dynamics apply to EV-D68, it stands to reason they apply to the rest of the "politically inconvenient" diseases that could derail so-called comprehensive immigration reform.

As for the media, their behavior is nothing short of reprehensible. Putting aside the politicization of the issue reduced to the banal idea of right-wing nativism versus left-wing compassion, the notion that establishing the causation of any disease threatening the health and well-being of the American public would be scrupulously avoided because it might not accrue to pro-amnesty sensibilities reeks of ideological bankruptcy bordering on totalitarianism. Since when have the deaths and paralysis of children been met with a collective media shrug? Why has the CDC, the agency that should be leading the charge in this arena, been given a pass for a series of denials, best exemplified by Steve Oberste, chief of the CDC's polio and picornavirus laboratory branch who insisted the agency was "unaware" of any UAC testing positive for EV-D68? How does "unaware" establish no link at all?

And why has there been no media pressure put on the Obama administration? It isn't hard to figure out that the deliberate dispersal of illegals throughout the nation—a dispersal that included the policy of handing children to family members who might also be illegals—would make virtually impossible to establish causation or lack thereof, even as that dispersal has the potential for exponentially affecting more and more Americans exposed to dangerous diseases. "As the unaccompanied children continue to be transported to shelters around the country on commercial airlines and other forms of transportation, I have serious concerns that the diseases carried by these children may begin to spread too rapidly to control," Gingrey stated in his letter to the CDC.

For the pro-amnesty proponents a potential epidemic—courtesy of diseases previously eradicated in the United States—is seemingly a reasonable price to pay in order to maintain an illegal immigration policy that puts the Border Patrol on pace to catch "an additional 39,000 unaccompanied children and about 53,000 members of families on the southern border this fiscal year," the LA Times reports. And while that surge is smaller than the one last year, it is still "large enough to overwhelm shelters and courts." And so it begins—all over again. When is enough enough?

The Hammer and Sickle that hangs over the White House

Surely the biggest news isn't that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has files obtained by Judicial Watch revealing that the dad, maternal grandpa and father-in-law of President Obama's trusted senior advisor, Valerie Jarrett, were hardcore Communists under investigation by the U.S. government—but that the FBI is sitting on those files doing diddle-y-squat about them.

Knowing that the FBI has never moved on documented proof that Jarrett's family tree reads like the Who's Who of Communism is akin to the in-'yer-face instructions of one William "Big Bill" Haywood (1869-1928), founder of Industrial Workers of the World and jailed for speaking against World War 1. Big Bill who fled to Moscow was cremated, leaving half his ashes in Chicago's Waldheim Cemetery and the other half over the Kremlin. A one-upmanship kind of message beyond the grave advising: "Take THAT you capitalist creeps!"

Also dead, but still sending out loud messages from Waldheim Cemetery is Frank A. Pellegrino (1890-1969) whose grave features a hammer and sickle. (Graveyards.com) https://graveyards.com/IL/Cook/foresthome/ne-socialist.html

Valerie Jarrett's hammer and sickle hangs right over the White House.

Some Chicago residents aren't convinced that the dead communists buried in Waldheim are really among the dearly departed because of the bustle of life that continues around their graves.

That's because busloads of pilgrims keep coming, year after year, to pay last respects to the Communists interred at Waldheim Cemetery.

"Because it was unassociated with any religious institution, it was chosen as burial place of the Haymarket martyrs. After they were buried there, the cemetery became a place of pilgrimage for anarchists, leftists, and union members. Due to the importance of the event in history, and the monuments' role as an international pilgrimage site, the Haymarket memorial was the first cemetery memorial to be designated a National Historic Landmark.[citation needed]. The Haymarket Martyrs' Monument was designed by sculptor Albert Weinert. (Wikipedia)

"German Waldheim Cemetery, previously known as Waldheim Cemetery, and currently Forest Home Cemetery is located at 863 Des Plaines Ave. in Forest Park, a suburb of Chicago in Cook County, Illinois.[1] It was originally founded in 1873 as a non-religion-specific cemetery, where Freemasons, Romani, and German-speaking immigrants to Chicago could be buried without regard for religious affiliation. In 1969, it merged with the adjacent Forest Home Cemetery, also founded in 1873, with the combined cemetery being called Forest Home (Waldheim means forest home in German).

In homage to the Haymarket Martyrs, many other anarchists and socialists are buried at Waldheim, including:

Slim Brundage[2]
Voltairine de Cleyre
Eugene Dennis
Joseph Dietzgen
Raya Dunayevskaya
Elizabeth Gurley Flynn
William Z. Foster

Chicago has been a hot bed for Communism in the US for more than 100 years. The University of Chicago has had an active group since the '30s and many of them still live in Hyde Park and Chicago. I would not be surprised if a number of Obama's neighbors in Hyde Park have been involved in the Communist Party of the USA, Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, or Chicago Committee to Defend the Bill of Rights.

Chicago is the birthplace of American communism.

About this time last year, more than 300 followers came to celebrate the Communist Party's 95th anniversary at the University of Illinois in Chicago for a convention which featured three days of speeches, panel discussions and workshops. One session was devoted to catching up with the online era. (Canada Free Press, June 17, 2014)

"A cheerleader for the Russian Revolution in the early 20th century and a leader in the labor movement during the Depression; hounded during the McCarthy era and orphaned after the fall of the Soviet Union, the Communist Party USA on Friday returned to Chicago, the city of its birth." (Chicago Tribune, June 14, 2014)
"Friday morning, (ordained Catholic priest Tim) Yeager led a bus tour of some party history. The first stop was at the Haymarket statue on Desplaines Street just north of Randolph Street, where in 1886 a bomb thrown during a labor rally killed seven police officers and at least one civilian.
"Known radicals, some not even present at the rally, were rounded up, speedily convicted and hanged. Several were buried at Waldheim Cemetery in Forest Park, making it a pilgrimage site for labor activists and the second stop on Friday's tour."
20-20 hindsight shows that even as Reagan was uttering his immortal " "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall," Barack Obama was being Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn-groomed as the programmed Marxist who would one day take over the White House.

"The long road to Barack Hussein Obama's presidency was laid back in 1975. With infinite patience, it was laid step by step by radicals working from the inside, in a strategy that promised its adherents in writing, "The certainty that we will see revolution in our lifetime." (Canada Free Press, Nov. 2, 2008) http://canadafreepress.com/article/5991

The book 'Red Chicago: American Communism at it's grassroots' chronicles Chicago's leading role in Communism. (Northwestindiana.com)

"May Day, a sign of International Workers Day and a Communist holiday, was actually started because of the Haymarket Affair in Chicago in 1886. Strikers of the McCormick Harvest Machine Corp gathered at Haymarket Square (Randolph and Des Plaines). When police arrived to break up the strike, a bomb was thrown into the police line killing one police officer. The Police opened fire and 8 police officers and 4 protesters. The majority of the officers killed were judged to have died from friendly fire in the nighttime confusion after the bomb blast."

"The Haymarket Martyrs' Monument is a funeral monument located at Forest Home Cemetery in Forest Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. Dedicated in 1893, it commemorates the defendants involved in the labor unrest and bombing related to the Haymarket Affair (1886). On February 18, 1997, it was designated a National Historic Landmark, and on April 26, 2002, listed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior. (Wikipedia)

"Following the Haymarket affair, trial and executions, August Spies, Adolph Fischer, George Engel, Louis Lingg, and Albert Parsons were buried at the German Waldheim Cemetery (later merged with Forest Home Cemetery).

"The Pioneer Aid and Support Association organized a subscription for a funeral monument. In 1893, the Haymarket Martyrs' Monument by sculptor Albert Weinert was raised at Waldheim. It consists of a 16-foot-high granite shaft capped by a carved triangular stone. There is a two step base, which also supports a monumental figure of a woman standing over the body of a fallen worker, both in bronze. It was dedicated on June 25, 1893, after a march from Chicago. The inscription on the steps read, "1887," the year of the executions. Also, there is a quote attributed to Spies, recorded just before his execution by hanging: "The day will come when our silence will be more powerful than the voice you are throttling today." On the back of the monument are listed the names of the men. On the top of the monument, a bronze plaque contains text of the pardon later issued by Illinois governor John Peter Altgeld

"The dedication ceremony was attended by 8000, with union flags and the American flag draped on the monument. European unions and American organizations sent flowers to be placed. Many activists and labor leaders were subsequently buried nearby. Michael Schwab and Oscar Neebe were also buried at Waldheim when they died. Samuel Fielden is the only Haymarket defendant who is not buried at Forest Home. For years, annual commemorations were held."

What about a monument for the seven police officers killed during the Haymarket affair?

"The Chicago Police Monument was there until it was blown up by the Weatherman in October 1968 and again in October 1970 (after it was repaired). Ironically by the Weathermen, founder of whom Bill Ayers is a close colleague of Barack Obama. (Northwestindiana.com)

"As for the tie in's of Labor to the Communist Party they go back to that time frame as well. Both the AFL and the CIO (before they merged.) have strong communist influences and even had a US Government sponsored tour of the Soviet Union and meetings with Stalin in the early 1930s. The Unions and the Department of Agriculture started to form Cooperative farms saying that outright ownership of farms should be greatly restricted and efficiency of government farming was superior.

"Chicago communism has also had strong ties to the Black Power Movement, the Anti War movement, any Labor movement in Chicago."

Meanwhile, scores of people know that the hammer and sickle hang over the Oval Office, courtesy of Valerie Jarrett.

The burning question is: What's the FBI doing about it?
