Amnesty Wars ( We didn't cross the border - The Border crossed us ) Learn your History

The Heritage study on the cost of amnesty (6.3 trillion) has gotten predictably tangled in accusations of racism. And we are now somehow debating IQ.

The issue isn’t that immigrants from south of the border are dumber because they have lower IQ’s. The college diploma world that liberals think we are heading toward is an even bigger disaster and more unsustainable than illegal immigration.

What the Heritage study found was that illegal immigrant amnesty would be a dead loss because of entitlements use. The issue is the free ride of the welfare state.
The social safety net, like the take-a-penny jar, is an honor system. There are all sorts of regulations and policing mechanisms, but the welfare state and the country are too big to police. Those who want to defraud, do. The rapid growth in the disability rolls tell the tale.
There are different motives not to cheat. Personal integrity. A sense of honor. But the largest one is a sense of investment in the country. Patriotism. The belief that we are all in the same boat and that we occasionally even sacrifice for one another.
Large scale entitlements use by a population is a cultural statement of a sense of detachment from the country and its people. You are more likely to take pennies, instead of putting them back, if you don’t identify with the people who put the pennies in.
Some of this is the effect of multiculturalism, but like the welfare state, it is a reality that conservative and libertarian amnesty advocates have to address.
Some of it is aspiration. It’s possible to work very hard from day to day, without believing that you will get ahead. And that mentality makes it easy to drop out of the economy when an opportunity presents itself. And if you don’t believe that you truly have a future in the country, then that becomes a reasonable path to take.
Postmoderns may attempt to level all humans to a single chart based on a single characteristic, but real life is more complex than that. There is no dynamic scoring that can predict the impact of the future, all we have to judge by, as Patrick Henry said, is the lamp of experience. And that means that the Heritage Center’s approach of using existing facts to draw conclusions is far more valid than any wishful dynamic scoring. Mexicans have a complex history and past of their own. And unlike most immigrants, they have a historical claim on American territory and a history of conflict with the United States. That history may seem ancient to most Americans, but the animosity and the sense of loss is real. Many Mexicans feel that they have lost something of their potential and their future when they were defeated and that sense lingers on in a way that most Americans cannot understand.
Those are all elements that need to be dealt with.
We can only maintain a social safety net for a population that feels responsible for each other. A population that sees itself living in a foreign country and does not identify with the national majority is going to pump and dump the social safety net. And that is something you can see in inner cities every day.
The failure to talk about it will not change the failure of any policy that fails to take it into account.

Colombia BOGOTA ( Journalist Killed in Southwest Colombia- Alberto Lazaro Del Valle )

Journalist Killed in Southwest Colombia

BOGOTA – Colombian journalist Alberto Lazaro Del Valle died after being shot in the southwestern city of Cali, officials said.

Authorities said the motive for Friday night’s homicide would have nothing to do with his profession as a radio announcer and disc jockey, according to the latest investigations into the killing of the director of Cali’s Radio Planeta.

“The gentleman had not accused anyone, he had received no threats, but he did have some problems of getting along with some people – two weeks ago they threw rocks and things at him,” the commander of the Cali Metropolitan Police, Gen. Fabio Castañeda, told the local press on Saturday.

“We, the National Police and Cali city hall, are offering a reward for any information leading to the capture of those who perpetrated this homicide,” the official said.

Police are continuing their investigations to find and arrest those guilty of gunning down the journalist.

Preliminary reports by the authorities indicate that two individuals accosted him as he was leaving work on the city’s north side and shot him seven times as he was getting into his SUV. The killers then escaped in a taxi

Ukraine ( Ukrainian-based, global feminist group " Femen " calls for " Topless Jihad )

Topless Jihad

Recently members of the Ukrainian-based, global feminist group Femen staged protests across Europe calling for “topless jihad.” While American feminists today are satisfied whipping up outrage about Mitt Romney’s binders and Sandra Fluke’s right to bill taxpayers for her birth control, Femen’s Amazonian warriors dive right in to do battle in a real War on Women being openly waged by Muslim misogynists. Topless jihad – it puts a whole new spin on #MyJihad.
The protests in Sweden, Italy, Ukraine, Belgium, and France [here are images from the demonstrations; warning – most contain nudity and/or offensive language] were in solidarity with a gutsy young Tunisian activist named Amina Tyler, who recently shocked Islamic sensibilities by posting naked images of herself online, with the words “I own my body; it’s not the source of anyone’s honor” penned on her bare chest.

The head of Tunisia’s Orwellian-titled Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice responded to this provocation as you might expect from a violent totalitarian, calling for Tyler to be stoned to death lest her obscene actions lead to an epidemic of Muslim women casting off not just their burqas and blouses but their oppression as well.

Her family wasn’t especially supportive either. According to The Atlantic, They kidnapped her, beat her, and held her in captivity for three weeks, during which time she was drugged, subjected to an amateur virginity test, forced to read the Quran, and taken on involuntary visits to imams. Her aunt posted a video online in which she called Amina “mentally ill,” “unbalanced,” and “psychopathic” for her “shameful act” which had injured her father’s “pride as a man.” A week after the topless jihad, Amina managed to escape and is now hiding somewhere in Tunisia.

CAIRO ( American professor - Who hates America - Gets stabbed in the neck for being an american ) Hmm

 

Christopher Stone, center

Frontpage Magazine A man stabbed in the neck near the US Embassy in Cairo on Thursday has been identified as Chris Stone, an American academic. Stone is associate professor of Arabic and head of the Arabic Programme at City University.

U.S. EMBASSY, CAIRO

Lebanese political science professor Asaad Abu Khalil described Stone via Facebook as a “model academic and a man who has dealt with Arabs and their causes with extreme respect, sensitivity, and support.” Stone is a strong supporter of the Palestinian cause and writes frequently against Zionism, Khalil added.
According to Al-Ahram, Stone told prosecutors the attack took place while he was on his way to the US Embassy to finish some paperwork for his wife. A young man enquired about his nationality and stabbed him in the neck after he said he was American.
Just in case there was any doubt whatsoever about the motive, Mahmoud Badr, the stabber, who has a bachelor’s degree in commerce, clarified his motive…

The man who stabbed an American in Cairo on Thursday says he was motivated by a hatred of the United States.

Ironically, hating the United States was something that Mahmoud had in common with Christopher. When invited to a seven year old’s Israel themed birthday party, Stone declined by asserting that he didn’t just hate Israel… he also hated America.

Stone imagined that he could parade around a newly Islamist Egypt protected only by his hatred of the Great and Little Satan. He was mistaken.
Muslim violence doesn’t just hurt the “bad” Americans who watch 4th of July fireworks and like the Constitution. It also hurts good Americans who teach Arabic and hate America.

Washington ( Man goes on rampage with bulldozer - Destroys Neighbors House )

Man's rampage with heavy equipment leaves path of destruction

 

 

PORT ANGELES, Wash. —

Investigators said a man in Port Angeles angry over new construction near his home went on a rampage and drove a bulldozer into three houses trying to destroy them.
The incident happened on Highway 101 at North Baker Street.
A resident in the area told the Peninsula Daily News that the man took a piece of logging equipment and "just went nuts."
Keith Haynes, who lives near one of the damaged homes, told the newspaper that a woman inside one of the homes escaped unharmed.
Authorities arrested 51-year-old Barry Swegle.
According to investigators, Swegle was angry with several neighbors over fence lines he felt were too close to his home.
One neighbor, Judith Walters, saw the bulldozer go through a home.
“I saw a tractor, out of control, I thought. And it plowed into the white house over here,” said Walters. "And she was in the doorway with her dog, her little Chihuahua and yeah, I was screaming at her at the top of my lungs, 'Get out of the house!'"
Walters saw Swegle repeatedly slam into the home.
Gary Blevins told KIRO 7 Eyewitness News he has known Swegle since he was a boy, and has been concerned about his behavior for years.
“It makes my heart sad that he pulled anything like this,” Blevins said. "I even told the neighbor one time, I said, 'You better watch him.'"
Chopper 7 flew over the scene, where a power pole was down, homes were gutted or damaged, and a truck was flattened.
Video showed a fence was twisted and broken, belongings were strewn outside homes, and a boat was ripped from its trailer.
The state Department of Transportation said the downed power pole caused power and traffic signals in the area to go out.
Highway 101 was closed for a time but has since reopened. Some power was restored.
According to the Clallam County Public Utility District, power was restored to most except about 200 Gales Addition customers, who will be affected by an extended outage.
The outage is expected to go on late into Friday evening or early Saturday morning.
All customers on South Mt. Angeles will experience a brief outage as well.
Customers up Golf Course Road, along Ennis and Pioneer, Roll-Inn Trailer Par and the area West of Gales will be without power into the evening, said officials with the PUD

Mexican Officials Abuse Authority on Behalf of Boss’s Daughter

MEXICO CITY – Four federal officials will be suspended for having tried to shut down a capital restaurant after their boss’s daughter was denied the table of her choice at the establishment, the office of Mexico’s inspector general said.

What has become known as the “Lady Profeco” case caused widespread irritation at the unwarranted use of political influence, and led to an order by President Enrique Peña Nieto to investigate the incident and penalize those responsible.

The incident occurred on April 26, when Andrea Benitez, daughter of the head of the Profeco consumer protection agency, Humberto Benitez, was denied the table she wanted at the restaurant because it had already been reserved by other diners.

After several threats by the young woman, Profeco officials arrived on the scene to paste up stickers saying the restaurant’s activities were suspended, to the surprise of both the owners and diners.

The inspector general’s office announced that four senior Profeco officials have been suspended “temporarily.”

“We must point out that the investigation did not turn up any elements that would lead to charges against” Humberto Benitez, the official note said.

Benitez subsequently held a press conference in which he insisted that he was notified after the operation took place, that he had not ordered or authorized it, and that his only responsibility was as a parent.

The official, who had already apologized publicly for the incident, recalled that on the day it occurred he was recovering from hip surgery. EFE

Malcolm X’s Grandson Dies in Mexico

MEXICO CITY – The grandson of U.S. political activist Malcolm X died at a Mexico City hospital of injuries received during an altercation, authorities said Friday.

An investigation is under way into the homicide of 29-year-old Malcolm Shabazz, the capital district attorney’s office said.

The U.S. Embassy had earlier issued a statement about the death of an American citizen in Mexico City, but withheld the deceased’s name at the request of the family.

Shabazz died in the wee hours of Thursday after being brought to a hospital emergency room from Plaza Garibaldi, a popular site for tourists, the DA’s office said.

The victim arrived at the hospital with injuries that appeared to be the result of a beating, according to the official statement, which said Shabazz and a friend had been drinking beer at a bar.

Malcolm’s mother, Qubilah Shabazz, was one of six daughters of Malcolm X and his wife, Betty Shabazz.

Qubilah was only 4 years old when she witnessed her father’s 1965 assassination in New York.

In August 1997, then-12-year-old Malcolm Shabazz was sentenced to 18 months in juvenile detention for starting a fire that resulted in the death of grandmother Betty Shabazz. EFE
