USA to Issue More Green Cards Than Populations of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina Combined

By Breitbart News, July 08, 2015 Breitbart

The overwhelming majority of immigration to the United States is the result of our visa policies. Each year, millions of visas are issued to temporary workers, foreign students, refugees, asylees, and permanent immigrants for admission into the United States. The lion’s share of these visas are for lesser-skilled and lower-paid workers and their dependents who, because they are here on work-authorized visas, are added directly to the same labor pool occupied by current unemployed jobseekers. Expressly because they arrive on legal immigrant visas, most will be able to draw a wide range of taxpayer-funded benefits, and corporations will be allowed to directly substitute these workers for Americans. Improved border security would have no effect on the continued arrival of these foreign workers, refugees, and permanent immigrants—because they are all invited here by the federal government.

Angry Clashes In South Carolina As Ku Klux Klan

By Mia de Graaf , July 18, 2015 Daily Mail

Angry clashes have erupted between members of the Ku Klux Klan and the New Black Panther Party as both groups rally at the South Carolina statehouse.

Confederate flags were stolen and ripped up to cheers and applause from the New Black Panther demonstrators - while KKK members stood on the steps of the capitol performing Nazi salutes.

The white supremacists came out in force on Saturday afternoon to condemn the governor's decision to remove the Confederate Flag due to its associations with racial hatred.

Countering their demonstration, around 400 people with links to the New Black Panther Party marched in the name of racial equality - calling on politicians to do more than simply bring down a flag.

FBI: Breakdown In Background Check system Allowed Dylann Roof To Buy Gun

By Ellen Nakashima, July, 9, 2015, Washington Post

Dylann Roof, who is accused of killing nine people at a church in South Carolina three weeks ago, was only able to purchase the gun used in the attack because of lapses in the FBI’s background-check system, FBI Director James B. Comey said Friday.

Comey said that Roof should have been prevented from buying the .45-caliber weapon used in a shooting that authorities have said was motivated by Roof’s racist views. The political repercussions of the June 17 massacre at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston led South Carolina to remove the Confederate flag from its statehouse grounds Friday.

“This case rips all of our hearts out,” Comey said. “But the thought that an error on our part is connected to this guy’s purchase of a gun that he used to slaughter these good people is very painful to us.”

The breakdown was the result of errors not only by the FBI but apparently by local law enforcement , and Comey said he has ordered a 30-day review of procedures that led to the failure and to see if the process can be tightened. The errors came to light as investigators examined a gun purchase Roof made two months before the shooting.

Seventh Black Church Burns In South Since Charleston Church Shooting

By CBS, Jul. 1, 2015

COLUMBIA, S.C. (CBS Atlanta/AP) — A federal law enforcement source says a fire that destroyed a black church in South Carolina was not the work of an arsonist.


The source says preliminary indications are that the fire at the Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church in Greeleyville, 50 miles north of Charleston, was not intentionally set and was not arson. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly. The source says the fire is still under investigation.

The fire comes 20 years after the Ku Klux Klan burned it down.

Democrats Push For Senate Probe Of Racist Terrorism In U.S. 

By S.A. Miller, June 30, 2015, The Washington Times 

Senate Democrats on Tuesday demanded a probe of racist domestic terrorism in response the the deadly shooting this month at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina.

“What we saw in South Carolina is about hate, and it is about evil. We must address the reality of domestic terrorism spurred by racial hatred head on,” six Democratic senators said in a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican.

The senators, led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Judiciary Committee ranking member Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, said the church shooting appeared to also fit the U.S. Code’s definition of a terrorist attack, which describes terrorism as a criminal act dangerous to human life that is intended to “intimidate or coerce a civilian population” or “to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction [or] assassination.”

Charleston, SC Mayor: Mike Huckabee Views On Concealed Carry Are ‘Insane,’ ‘Nutty’ and ‘Crazy’

By Fox News Radio, Jun. 24, 2015

Wednesday on “The Alan Colmes Show,” Alan spoke with Joseph Riley, who has been the mayor of Charleston, SC for four decades and has been helping the community recover from the devastating shooting in a church that left nine people dead. Mayor Riley discussed with Alan his reaction to the debate over the Confederate flag, his take on gun control and his thoughts on Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee’s claim that concealed carry permits could have prevented people from being killed:

RILEY: I’m very hopeful that the legislature will take the necessary action to have the Confederate battle flag moved from the flagpole in front of the state Capital to a museum where it should be. I’m confident that’s going to happen. The will is there in the state and this horrible event by this unbelievably hateful and bigoted man I think will be the sad event that will create action at this time. COLMES: Isn’t that the irony that somebody that wanted to start a race war, we’ve now had the result of, kind of an opposite effect taking place. RILEY: He was trying to spread hate, and rather what he did was enhance love.

Walter Scott Had Planned A Cookout For The Day He Was Shot By A Police Officer

By MEGHAN KENEALLY & JUSTIN WEAVER, Apr 15, 2015, ABC News

South Carolina police shooting victim Walter Scott and his passenger were looking forward to a cookout they had planned for later in the day when Scott was shot, the passenger’s attorney tells ABC News.

Pierre Fulton, who has been identified as the passenger in Scott’s car on the morning of April 4 when Scott was pulled over for a broken tail light, had known Scott for the past four or five years, becoming better friends when they started working together several months ago.

Fulton’s attorney, Mark Peper, said the pair knew each other casually from the neighborhood, then started commuting together and that’s when they started to get to know one another.
