True from a capitalist's frame of reference, but I think that the point of the article was that these are illegals whom the countries wish to move out ASAP.

Costa Rica and Panama have a perfect way to rid themselves of illegals. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fast Lane: Central American Countries Bus Migrants North for a Fee [...] Costa Rica and Panama have started busing migrants from one border to the other.

Israel celebrates breaching ground Hamas didn't foresee as war enters second month Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to members of Israel's elite Egoz unit on Tuesday, exactly one month after Hamas' surprise attack on the country flipped the world upside down. The Egoz unit specializes in guerilla-style warfare and is part of Israel's commando brigade. It uses special weapons and tactics. "I would like to tell you that what we see on the ground, from the reports the War Cabinet and I receive, and the conversations with commanders and soldiers, it is an extraordinary success. I tell you, the Americans were here. They explained to us what was in Fallujah and what was here and there, and they are amazed at what we have achieved," Netanyahu told the soldiers at a base in the Negev desert.

There's no obvious downside. Your action may result in USCIS's pulling your I-130 to match it with the new I-129F and perhaps approving the I-130, because it's been pulled. The I-129F will be closed, and the CR-1 visa path would be next. Some I-130 petitioners long in the queue might resent your action in that it's "jumping ahead," but there isn't a formal downside.

Reading this is confirmatory and chilling, and it's yet another failure by the FBI. Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hamas Ally CAIR Has Been Operating With Impunity Inside America for 30 Years After Hamas massacred 1,400 men, women and children in Israel last month, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that the terror group "and its allies" could inspire attacks on Americans "here on our own soil." He also told the Senate that the FBI is conducting "multiple, ongoing investigations" into people affiliated with the U.S.-designated terrorist group. What Wray didn't say is that the FBI has been investigating Hamas' biggest ally in America for the past 30 years – without seeking any charges. Launched in 1994 as a secret front organization to support Hamas, according to declassified FBI wiretap transcripts and FBI testimony, the Council on American-Islamic Relations has, in the decades since, become an accepted member of Washington's lobbying community. The New York Times and other influential newspapers routinely describe CAIR as a "Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization." Although it has not repudiated its support for Hamas – which is committed to the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people – CAIR was enlisted by the Biden administration in May to take part in a White House initiative to fight antisemitism. On Oct. 7, the day Hamas terrorists butchered 1,400 Jews, including 33 Americans – raping many and abducting some 240 others to Gaza from southern Israel – CAIR's national executive director, Nihad Awad, delivered an anti-Israel message in Arabic which seemed to justify what Hamas did. Translated into English, it read: "All Arab peoples must go out on Sunday, Oct. 8 – and every day – in demonstrations in support of the Palestinians and in rejection of normalization with the occupier and the apartheid regime [Israel]."

Shop took Many (2x2x2 +1) of them, a high percentage man. They gave us $Many ($2x2x2x2), $uce$$ful Business Typhoon we man. From there, went to Burlington Coat Factory, si man. Found pants for Mini-B. for just about the $Many ($2x2x2x2), tax included man. Went across road to Costco, regular warehouse store man. Got one item on sale, all we wanted man. Saw one item that we'd gotten yesterday at Costco Business Center, slightly different supplier agreements man. This item today was on sale for $Many ($2+2) -- si man, $Many ($2+2) -- off what we'd paid, man. The sale on this item was unadvertised, man. We feel cheated, betrayed, and dissed, cheated betrayed dissed we man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. swung by to inspect closet-cleanout stuff from Mama T-B., saved by we man from senior she man possibly for ex-she man man. Ex-Mrs.-T-B. was delighted and accepted everything, more junk out of the way man. Ex-she man also raided our garage for some artist's paint that we never knew was there, just waltz right in and take it man. Din-din was onecan of beef stew, ingest we man. Called Mama T-B., silence all day man. Mama T-B. has somehow caught a severe cold or the flu again, how is this possible man. She sounds awful, feels awful, and can't take medicines for it because of reactions or interactions, man. We carefully interrogated her** to discern the real state of her needs, self-whitewarsh conditions usually man. We will probably bring her a Subway or something tomorrow, si man. **At this precise point of the typing of this post, Mama T-B.'s office called us, Oh God What Now man. She bent over, couldn't get up, decided to slide to the floor, and called for help, man. Office assisted her, then called us per protocol, near-heart attack for we man man. We phoned Mama T-B. immediately thereafter to ask WTH, concerned we man. Furthermore, she is out of Kleenex and is using paper towels, man. (Paper towels are better snot-rags during colds anyway, conclude we years ago man.) We shall deliver Kleenex promptly on Thursday, more than enough in our casa because we know its value in quantity man. When prideful minimalists keep just one of something, they invariably run out, so there man. It is crucial to stockpile necessities against emergencies, Truth Of Life man. We have spoken, expostulate we man. No party with the rubias tonight, too upset about Costco and Mama T-B. we man.

You didn't ask for observations, no Y ma'am. If we were observing, we would observe, "Sister's failure to plan does not constitute an emergency for Y ma'am, no man," si Y ma'am.

It is Wednesday, and -- oh, joy! -- time for our Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: ====================================================== THE BLIND GUY AT THE BAR A blind man entered a bar and found his way to a barstool. After ordering a drink and sitting there for a while, the blind guy yelled to the bartender, "Hey! You wanna hear a blonde joke?" The bar immediately became very quiet. In a husky, deep voice, the woman next to him said, “Before you tell that joke, you should know something. The bartender is blonde, the bouncer is blonde, and I'm a six-foot-tall, 200-pound blonde with a black belt in karate. What's more, the guy sitting next to me is blonde, and he's a weightlifter. The woman to your right is a blonde, and she's a professional wrestler. Think about it seriously, mister -- do you still want to tell that blonde joke?" "Nah," said the blind guy. "Not if I'm going to have to explain it five times."
