A tidbit: guess which country ranks third (yours ranks second, India ranks first) in H1-b's. If you guessed our northern neighbour, go to the head of the class.Due to several factors, many Canucks switch from TN-1 to H1-b after entering US:
Immigrant intent allowed for H1-b (but not allowed for POE/PFI-issued TN-1's) H1-b had longer max duration (prior to 2008, when TN-1 was upped to 3 years) of 3 years (against 1 for TN-1), helpful especially post 9-11 (until 2008) when US driving-licence expiry was tied to visa expiry getting a spousal H-4 is more straightforward than getting a spousal TD (analous to H-4, but instead of H1-b primary is TN-1), whether at Consulate (if non-USC non-Canadian spouse) or POE/PFI (if Canadian non-USC spouse)
(as one who actually was on TN-1--but never on H1-b--1994 to 1999, last two years of it due to misfiling of labour-cert by chop**** attorney)

This is a bit like the prediction about online-shopping making the physical malls obsolete which I heard around 10 years ago--and we still are seeing packed-to-rafters malls.

The topic title left me
Romney slipped off the "rails" (if he was ever on them) long ago when he was governor of Taxachussets.

Eh, the sleeper-cells' friend is actually in DC (currently on trip to India, but still)--Napolitano!

Absolutely: hiding b-L training and indoctrinating Faisal Shahzad (Times Square 2010/03/30 failed bomber) an Muhammed Faruq (DC-Metro 2010/10/26 failed bomber) to attack their main benefactor
Rather similar to how they caused two other "invasions" (1965 and 1971) by attacking India both times.

No possible recouping here--Porkistan's "crore commanders" already swallowed and digested the "seed".

Translation: 3 more proofs of Pakistani "stringing along US while bilking aid$$", some in Congress (including Speaker John Boener, R-OH, and one of Porkistan's former in-House official lobbyists Dana Rohrabacher, R-CA) have asked for investigation (actually, Rohrabacher has asked beyond that point--and said "cut off all aid to it"--an EXCELLENT way to announce how US has been affronted by the FUBAR nation to India's west).

How can one waiver something that already is irrelevant INTO irrelevance, S-O-G?

We already know which side Samoray pretends to favour--of which the truth was revealed in 1948 (when Egyptians, Jordanians and Syrians attacked Israel to grab as much as possible of Balfour Mandate for themselves).

Eh, these (along with Dept of Energy, which was foisted by incompetent--he made contemporaneous Canadian PM Joe "Who" Clark resemble Charles Cornwallis in comparison to his own Ambrose Burnside--Jimmy Carter) and other departments foisted post-LBJ would be best eliminated--now, a good excuse to do so, whatstheholdup!?

President's El Paso Immigration Pander
by James R. Edwards, Jr.
Posted 05/12/2011 ET
President Obama’s El Paso speech delivered the predictable: a call for the same old mass amnesty mix (“comprehensive immigration reform,” to open-borders types). And at least for a time, he’s put immigration front and center.
First, look at Obama’s “solution.”
Government’s “threshold responsibility” is “to secure the borders and enforce the law.” Obama asserted that his administration has done that. In fact, the Government Accountability Office reports that only 129 of the 2,000 miles of the southern border are under control.
The President said that “businesses have to be held accountable if they exploit undocumented workers.” House Immigration Subcommittee Chairman Elton Gallegly points out that Obama’s work-site enforcement has fallen more than 70%. Obama has switched to civil fines and dropped filing criminal charges against companies employing illegal aliens. The administration has stopped holding illegal alien workers accountable in job-related enforcement.
And then there’s my personal favorite: Obama’s lame requirements purporting to hold illegals themselves accountable. He said, “They have to admit that they broke the law, pay their taxes, pay a fine, and learn English. And they have to undergo background checks and a lengthy process before they can get in line for legalization.”
These things are pretty much what current law requires, what the 1986 amnesty required, and comprise the same old Bush-era garbage circa 2006 and 2007. They reward all 11 million illegal aliens with eventual U.S. citizenship and access to taxpayer subsidy through welfare and other government benefits, along with the privilege of sponsoring even distant relatives for visas ad infinitum.
The supposed penalty ensures lack of assimilation. Legalized aliens gain the right to vote here and can keep dual citizenship, so they can also vote in their home country. The fine print in all recent amnesty bills proves that “learn English” doesn’t mean legalized aliens gain command of the English language.
The bottom line remains the same, though. Eleven million illegals get legal status. The President threw in a farm worker amnesty and the DREAM (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) Act amnesty for good measure.
Obama also called for “reforming our outdated system of legal immigration.” Here, it gets interesting.
The President endorsed giving foreign students green cards so they can stay here permanently. This apparently is part of what makes “immigration reform” an “economic imperative.”
Having invoked company names such as Google and eBay, and foreign-born assets including Einstein and Andrew Carnegie, Obama implied that immigrants are overwhelmingly brainiacs, innovators, and job creators. He also implied that these are the world’s most talented people—“the best and the brightest,” Obama called them.
The President paints a false image, if you consider the facts.
Obama’s own supporting “facts” illustrate a dearth of immigrant innovative genius. He claimed, “In recent years, a full 25% of high-tech start-ups in the U.S. were founded by immigrants, leading to more than 200,000 jobs in America.” Not very impressive as a proportion of the total 5.9 million U.S. high-tech jobs in 2009, and below the 245,600 jobs that industry lost in 2009.
Prof. Norm Matloff of the University of California, Davis, has calculated a Talent Measure, the ratio of salary to the prevailing wage. By that measure (which assumes talented people will command higher pay), he found H-1B visa holders (skilled foreign temporary workers, many in high-tech) are just average. That holds true for foreign workers at leading tech companies.
The Small Business Administration reported in 2009 that only around 16% of U.S. tech firms have at least one founder who was an immigrant entrepreneur. Less than 13% of tech entrepreneurs are foreign-born. While these immigrant business founders hold more doctorates, they also twice as often have links to foreign companies.
These are the “smart guys” among immigrants. Not especially distinguished as a group.
Moreover, most immigrants are less skilled, less educated and more likely to take welfare and other taxpayer subsidies, lack health insurance, are more likely to be a net fiscal drain, and lag on other socioeconomic measures than native-born Americans.
Among immigrants in general, 11% are entrepreneurs, compared with 13% of American natives.
In addition to selling the same snake oil that stands little chance on Capitol Hill, Obama showed a cynical, partisan attitude hardly likely to win friends and influence people.
He insulted everyone who supports the urgent need to secure the border. He charged opponents of amnesty with “mov[ing] the goalposts one more time. ... Maybe they’ll say we need a moat. Or alligators in the moat.”
Obama took a condescending, preachy attitude: “I know some here wish that I could just bypass Congress and change the law myself. But that’s not how a democracy works.”
In fact, Obama has attempted to end-run Congress on immigration. His administration plotted a number of options for abusing administrative discretionary policies to achieve wholesale amnesty—or, in the words of a leaked memo, "result in meaningful immigration reform absent legislative action."
The Obama speech showed little originality, no flexibility on approaching the problem, and an animosity toward those who disagree with him on immigration issues. All in all, a wasted opportunity.

Fixxored for accuracy!

fixxored! Due to Pornistan's arming/abetting of Taliban/AQ--especially in the immediate 9/11 aftermath!

Punishing someone who was vicious and uncivilised as b-L in a semblance-of-similar manner is apt!

Just a few small repairs.
Also has nothing to do with the continuing tensions between China and India at all.

The most-relaxed rule by State is that the USC parent has to have lived in five years continuous after 14th birthday, which Stanley Ann Dunham would have failed (her DOB was 1942/11/29, POTUS' DOB is 1961/08/04) to meet had her son been born anywhere outside of US.
