I guess we're against the Irish immigrating. Again.

It must be a horrible quandary for the Reich. "They're white! But .... they're Irish! But, they're really, really white! Some of them are like ghost white! But, they're Irish! ....."

On about the 256th recursion, it seems they exit the loop to, "Well, dammit, they're foreigners of some sort. Besides ... you know How They Areᵀᴹ. Screw 'em."

The Savannah economic-development team is working to set up advanced manufacturing programmes at local colleges. They are even teaching the basics in primary school. One day, perhaps, Ellabell will have enough skilled workers to do all the jobs that need doing. But that will do nothing for the region’s, and the country’s, carmaking ambitions now.

Manufacturing in the 21st century requires educated workers, and the U.S. is struggling because the deep streak of anti-intellectualism that has plagued this country since its founding.

Conservatives want the money high-tech jobs bring, but not the education they require. Because they know educated people seldom vote Republican.

ICE officer fatally shoots man during traffic stop in Chicago suburb, authorities say

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were conducting “targeted law enforcement activity” in Franklin Park when they stopped the vehicle, according to a statement from the agency.

chicago.suntimes.com

Federal immigration agents fatally shot a man Friday morning in a Northwest suburb after he allegedly attempted to flee a traffic stop and struck an officer with his car, officials said.

The shooting comes days after President Donald Trump’s long-promised immigration enforcement campaign launched in the Chicago area, generating widespread fear in immigrant communities in the city and suburbs.

A neighbor who knew the shooting victim described him as a family man who he imagined was scared when confronted by officers — in part because he wasn’t fluent in English.

I'm not sure I'd call it straight up murder, considering the man tried to use his car as a deadly weapon. But...

The Guardian: Ice puts more than 10,000 people in solitary in a year – and figures are rising under Trump

The report spans a period of time that includes the Biden and the second Trump administration, but shows a spike in the use of solitary confinement in recent months. It comes comes as the president enacts his mass deportation agenda and rapidly expands US immigration enforcement activities and detention facilities.

“We certainly have seen an increase in solitary confinement over the last years, but we’ve seen a significant increase from month to month during Trump’s first four months,” said Arevik Avedian, a Harvard law school lecturer and one of the authors of Cruelty Campaign: Solitary Confinement in US Immigration Detention.

I was wrongly arrested by ICE. Racial profiling is persecution

On July 10, I headed to my security guard job at a Camarillo (Ventura County) cannabis farm, not knowing that it was being raided by federal officials looking for immigration violations.

A 25-year-old American citizen, father of two and an Army veteran who served a tour in Iraq, it didn’t occur to me that I was in any danger. As I approached the farm, a protest was underway, with cars bumper-to-bumper, and people walking along the sides of the street. Eventually, I came to a line of masked agents blocking the way.

Sorry, but SCOTUS allows that now.

Mind you, when I looked at the numbers of H-1B visa-holders employed by various companies, I thought the people whose businesses will be most affected -- Musk, Besos and Zuckerberg -- could probably pay these exorbitant fees out of their own pockets for all their employees affected by the measure and hardly notice.

I suspect it's yet another shakedown.
