Romney Not Clear On Concept Of 8.1% Unemployment
From the WSJ:
Mitt Romney promised Latino leaders a long-term fix for immigration policy and short-term relief for immigrants in a speech Thursday that was notably softer in tone than when he was battling to win the Republican presidential nomination.
In a calibrated attempt to attract Latino voters without alienating some in his own party, Mr. Romney spoke of bipartisan solutions he would pursue as president.
An Illegal Alien Who Wouldn't Obey The Law—And Now She Can Vote!
Another illegal alien made the news today. And she promises to do her best to destroy the United States and our Republican form of government.
Claudia Garate was an illegal alien from Chile who came to the United States to work illegally. As is common, she and her employers did not have a good relationship. She was underpaid but living where she wanted to be. Apparently working 9-5 in Chile is worse than being a virtual slave in the United States.

Do Mittens' Advisors Know Anything About Immigration Law?
Mittens released his immigration policy. Besides its idiocy policy wise, the campaign's advisors seem to know nothing about immigration law as it now stands:

Diversity before Diversity: Cheech Marin
Everybody knows these days that the 35 million or so people in the country of Mexican descent are making "extraordinary contributions", as President Obama explained last week in his amnesty speech. Granted, he did not name any making extraordinary contributions. And, indeed, the number of American-raised high achievers of Mexican descent appears to be remarkably low at present relative to their numbers.
Video: Steve Sailer on Human Biodiversity
Here's a 13-minute interview of me shot by Craig Bodeker back in 2010 at the H.L. Mencken Club meeting. I was pretty rocky in the beginning, but it came out okay:
Contra Marco Rubio, 70% Of People In Mexico Are Overweight
It's a cliche that illegal immigrants are fleeing starvation. Yet, Mexico has more overweight residents than even notoriously fat America. From The Economist in 2010:
SEVENTY metres (230 feet) long and slathered with cream and cheese, the world’s biggest enchilada was cooked up in a suburb of Mexico City on October 17th.
Eric Holder And The Board of Immigration Appeals Escalating Attack On DOMA
America's own Andrey Januarevich Vyshinsky, Eric Holder, and his minions at the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) are maneuvering for an amnesty for homosexuals to mirror the Department of Homeland Security's amnesty for illegal aliens under age 31. The BIA recently remanded to U.S.
Even Cato's Open-Borders Libertarians Don't Like Obama's Unconstitutional Amnesty
Gene Healy is vice-president of the Cato Institute and therefore an open borders guy—he's fine with illegal immigrants being allowed to stay. However, he's also the author of "The Cult of the Presidency," and therefore he does not approve of Obama's unconstitutional amnesty.
Ombamnesty Effect on American Workers Is Considered (Weakly)
The Contra Costa Times immigration reporter tried his liberal best to present both sides of the Obamnesty, including the downer of more workers being unleashed on jobless citizens. (California statewide unemployment in May was 10.8 percent, so joblessness is a big concern here.)
But Matt O’Brien’s questionable attempt at “fair and balanced” was neither. The piece starts out with emotional stories from several young illegals and their dreams for the future. One version in the San Jose Mercury posted a sympathetic photo of one, Fiona Cruz.
For the other side, the reporter interviewed CIS’s excellent researcher Steve Camarota, and cited a couple relevant quotes. But O’Brien followed Camarota’s reasonable analysis with an immediate refutation beginning: “Those are assumptions many economists don’t hold. . .”
However, the most egregious element was the omission of young citizens who already struggle to find jobs. Why are their dreams for the future not considered worthy? How hard would it have been for the reporter to go to a local campus or unemployment office to find Americans who cannot find work?
The media constantly barrages the public with tearful stories of illegal aliens, as in this case. But young Americans, whose parents have obeyed the law and paid the taxes, are not even an afterthought to liberal journalists.
For that reason, I propose a new visa category for journalists to increase diversity in the newsroom and educate current scribblers about what the rest of America faces. Fifty thousand new journalist immigrants should do nicely for a start.
Immigration reprieve means thousands of new workers in California, By Matt O’Brien, Contra Costa Times, June 19, 2012
Test Prep Gains By Race
Chris Hayes argues in his new book Twilight of the Elites: America After Meritocracy, the real reason that blacks and Hispanics are making so little progress over the generations at qualifying on their own merit for selective academic institutions is because rich whites are hogging all the test prep.
The Wisdom Of Marco Rubio
Senator Marco Rubio (R-Cuba), prominent Vice-Presidential Timber, has written (according to Matthew Yglesias in "The Wisdom of Marco Rubio on Illegal Immigration"):
"Many people who came here illegally are doing exactly what we would do if we lived in a country where we couldn't feed our families," he writes in An American Son, which was released Tuesday.

Derb Response to Jared Taylor
I'll respond at length to Jared Taylor's anti-miscegenation essay in a day or two ─ I'm a little backed up & preparing for a road trip. In the meantime, VDARE.com readers might want to chew over this post by blogger Half Sigma on the just-released Pew report about Asian Americans. Sample:
Houston Illegals “Bombard” Immigration Lawyers
Here’s a new word for your diverse vocabulary: “charla.” It’s Spanish and means a Q&A session with an immigration lawyer. The one pictured below was put on in Houston, courtesy of Catholic Charities, which routinely acts as an active anti-sovereignty enabler of lawbreaking aliens.
Mexico's Calderon Cheers Obama's Amnesty Valor to Mexicans; Plus Numbers
As expected, Mexico’s Presidente Calderon was thrilled with his pal Obama’s pre-election amnesty reversal. More freebies for illegal Mexicans on the US taxpayer’s tab means more disposable income to be sent home to Mexico as remittances. El Presidente likes that just fine.
