Under the Obama administration, skilled foreign professionals like doctors and software engineers find dim hope in Emma Lazarus’s poetic lamp lifted “beside the golden door.” Under the Obama administration, skilled foreign professionals like doctors and software engineers find dim hope in Emma Lazarus’s poetic lamp lifted “beside the golden door.” These huddled, high tech masses are, quite often, told by Washington policymakers to consider launching their careers in other countries.

Sheriff Joe's behind the scene scheming with a close lifelong friend is exposed in the United States 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. Sheriff Joe, this time is attacking the first amendment by coming to the aid of a very close friend and abusing his power. One could also consider the conduct of the Sheriff as described in the emails embedded in the Court papers to be Obstruction of Justice. Sheriff related emails:

The impacts of disasters occurring in other parts of the world, from Libya to Japan, have perhaps been communicated more drastically to the Philippines than to other countries. Whether it is the tragic trilogy of earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear fallout in Japan or the civil war in Libya, external crises are swiftly transformed into internal crises for our country, as thousands of families are pushed into poverty and economic hardship when their breadwinners are dislocated and repatriated back to the Philippines, where jobs offering decent wages are scarce. Between Death and Poverty A common refrain I heard from workers returning from Libya went like this: “Wala kaming magagawa kundi bumalik kasi kamatayan ang hinaharap namin roon. Pero gutom naman ng pamilya ang balik sa amin dito.” (“We had no choice but to leave since death is what we faced there. But what do we have in exchange but hunger for our families here?”)

The increase in USCIS fees that was announced on September 24th resulted after a comprehensive review by the USCIS that began in 2009. There is a fee rule that was enacted in 2007 that requires the USCIS conduct fee reviews every two years. The USCIS is a primarily fee-based organization and about 90 percent of its budget coming from fees paid by applicants US immigration applications and petitions.

And after the last review, the USCIS determined that filing fees for some forms had to go up to support the proper infrastructure needed to support US immigration activities.

Today in the United States, under the Democratic administration of Barack Obama, xenophobic and racist violence is escalating. The criminal agents of the Border Patrol have reached the point of killing in cold blood, before the eyes of hundreds of witnesses. On May 28, construction worker Anastasio Hernández Rojas was beaten to death by some 20 agents of the U.S. Border Patrol. Then on June 7 in Ciudad Juárez, across the river from El Paso, Border Patrol agents fired into a group of youths on the Mexican side of of the border, murdering 14-year-old Adrián Hernández with a shot to the head. These crimes are part of a policy of racist repression looking for scapegoats, typified by the legalization of xeonophobia and police use of racial profiling in Arizona’s SB 1070 law. But while Obama criticize the law, “Obama, listen, we are in the struggle,” his thugs are killing on the border. It is an illusion to think that the commander in chief of U.S. imperialism, or his counterpart and semi-colonial underling, Mexican president Felipe Calderón, will defend the workers. It is necessary to mobilize the power of the working class to defend immigrants.

On 26 June, about 300 migrants and solidarity activists occupied a park right besides the seat of the Swiss government in Bern. They've been protesting against Switzerland's inhuman asylum and migration policy and demand the collective regularisation of the country's undocumented migrants. Unlike other European countries, Switzerland has been refusing to regularize the approximately 100.00 to 200.000 undocumented migrants living in the country. Through its extremely harsh and restrictive asylum and migration policy, Switzerland aims at making itself 'as unattractive as possible' for asylum-seekers in order to 'protect' itself from immigrants. The 8-minute clip provides a brief insight into the action. Migrants and supporters tell about their problems and demands. The video can be watched/downloaded here:

¡Coja la frontera, coja la migra, coja las fascistas, y lucha la poder!
The following statistics are from a Wikipedia table that cites the State Department and the USCIS. I use this table only because it is neater.

It's easy to think you know Pennsylvania. You might live in one of the big cities, and think the rest of the state is a vast countryside. Or you might live in a rural area and think that most of the state is like your county, with the exception of the cities. However, the diversity of our state can surprise you. read more | pafrombelow.info
