Immigrants Object To Growing Use Of Ankle Monitors After Detention

By Molly Hennessy-Fiske, Aug 02, 2015 LA Times

The Honduran woman and her 11-year-old son were just preparing to leave the detention center in remote Karnes City, Texas, and rejoin family in Chicago, when officials sprang a surprise on her.

After spending two months at the facility, the woman faced a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent insisting she accept an electronic ankle monitor as a condition of her release.

"No, this is unjust. I don't want you to put it on," said the 32-year-old woman, who asked to be identified only by her first name, Nely, due to her pending immigration case.

Walker Chat With Unauthorized Immigrants Censored On Spanish

By Jorge Bonilla, July 28, 2015 NewsBusters

Confrontations between unauthorized immigrant protesters and presidential candidates are usually gold to the national Spanish-language networks. They typically serve to advance this media segment’s favored immigration narrative, as well as depict immigration dissidents as “anti-immigrant” or “insensitive.”

When these videos accomplish their objectives, they are blasted all over Univision, Telemundo, and MundoFox newscasts, as well as on ImpreMedia’s print and social media footprints. But what happens when the confrontation doesn’t go as intended?

These staged and carefully-planned confrontations typically target a politician (near-universally a Republican male), seemingly caught off-guard by young “Dreamers” who demand to know why X does not unequivocally support a pathway to citizenship. The politician will cycle through his first set of talking points, which will be met by an emotional response (some variant of “why do you want to deport my parents?”). At that point, one of two things usually happens:

Scott Walker Tells Undocumented Worker That Immigrants Must Follow The Law

By Jenna Johnson, July 19, 2015 Washington Post

PLAINFIELD, Iowa — As presidential hopeful Scott Walker toured a farm in this tiny town where he lived as a child, he was confronted by an undocumented worker from Mexico who is living in Wisconsin and demanded to know why Walker does not support President Obama's plan to give temporary status to some undocumented workers, including parents of children who were born in the United States.

"We're a nation of laws," Walker, the Republican governor of Wisconsin, repeatedly told Jose Flores, 38, who was joined by two of his four children, Luis, 7, and Leslie, 13, who had tears rolling down her cheeks throughout the exchange. Flores, who lives in Waukesha and works for a medical supply factory, said he and his wife live in fear of being deported and separated from their children, who he said were all born in the United States.

ICYMI:  Immigration And The American Worker

By George Borjas April 2013 CIS

At current levels of around one million immigrants per year, immigration makes the U.S. economy (GDP) significantly larger, with almost all of this increase in GDP accruing to the immigrants themselves as a payment for their labor services.

For American workers, immigration is primarily a redistributive policy. Economic theory predicts that immigration will redistribute income by lowering the wages of competing American workers and increasing the wages of complementary American workers as well as profits for business owners and other “users” of immigrant labor. Although the overall net impact on the native-born is small, the loss or gain for particular groups of the population can be substantial.

The best empirical research that tries to examine what has actually happened in the U.S. labor market aligns well with economy theory: An increase in the number of workers leads to lower wages. This report focuses on the labor market impact of immigration.

By Kate Scanlon, July 10, 2015 Daily Signal

Is your city a sanctuary city?

The map shows over 200 sanctuary cities, counties and states nationwide.

Sanctuary cities are cities or jurisdictions where local authorities have chosen not to act in accordance with federal immigration laws.

According to the Center for Immigration Studies, “these state and local jurisdictions have policies, laws, executive orders, or regulations allowing them to avoid cooperating with federal immigration law enforcement authorities”:
