Increased innovation, a crackdown on piracy, and H-1B visas? Good. Taxes on tech companies, Net neutrality legislation, and our country's current patent system? Bad. Republican presidential hopeful John McCain on Thursday unveiled his technology policy statement. It did not stray far from his already established positions on major tech issues like Net neutrality, patent protection and piracy, broadband availability, privacy, and the availability of H1B visas, but focused mainly on increased innovation, intellectual property protection, and preserving technology through market forces. Net neutrality is "prescriptive regulation" in which McCain does not believe, according to the ...

Two national lawmakers, Hazleton’s mayor, a police chief and the public are inquiring into the release of nine illegal immigrants from police custody in Beaver Meadows in late July. Beaver Meadows Chief Michael Morresi said he wasn’t pleased with the way the situation was handled. Not only does he believe that federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials didn’t do all they could have — he said a statement regarding the incident from ICE to a federal lawmaker’s staff was misleading. “We’re getting a lot of calls from concerned people,” Morresi said, referring to public response to an incident that began with a routine traffic stop on the ...

Crackdown on Smugglers Needed, Chertoff Says By RANDAL C. ARCHIBOLD Published: August 15, 2008 LOS ANGELES – The rising tide of guns flowing into Mexico from the United States, which is fueling some of the worst drug violence there in years, can only be stopped by cracking down on smugglers the way federal authorities hobbled the mafia, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Thursday. Mr. Chertoff gave that assessment in an interview as he attended a conference here of governors from United States and Mexican border states that concludes on Friday. With thousands killed in Mexico in the past year as drug cartels battle for turf and supremacy, security along the border ...

RALEIGH - Leaders of the state's community colleges voted today to close their doors to illegal immigrants until they complete a study and come up with a permanent policy. The decision today by the State Board of Community Colleges marks a reversal from Thursday, when officials indicated they were inclined to admit illegal immigrants pending the outcome of the study. Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue, the Democratic candidate for governor, made the motion to ban illegal immigrants from community colleges while the study is ongoing. Eleven board members voted in favor of the motion. The board's chairman did not ask for "no" votes, noting that the 11 in favor were a majority of the 16 ...

North Carolina's community colleges will continue to be closed to illegal immigrants for the time being.The State Board of Community Colleges voted Friday to maintain its current policy that forbids staff from admitting students who are in the country illegally. The policy is the most restrictive in the country. Lt. Gov Beverly Perdue asked fellow board members to uphold the policy as officials study and draft a more permanent policy. The policy was adopted in May as Attorney General Roy Cooper sought guidance on whether admitting illegal immigrants violated federal law. In response, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security said the issue fell to the states.

Illegal Alien Employer Wants $5 Billion More Taxpayer Dollars By Greg L 13 August 2008 WTOP is reporting on the arrest by the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement of 42 illegal aliens reporting to their jobs working within the sensitive areas of Dulles International Airport. This follows on the heels of the arrest of 18 illegal aliens inside Quantico Marine Corps Base in January of 2007, and the arrest of fifty more illegal aliens working on the construction of a federal courthouse in Richmond on May of this year, which really raises the question of whether our federal government itself has much interest at all in being a responsible employer. Between the Federal Aviation ...

Supervisor at Iowa Meat Plant Asks That Judge Step Aside By JULIA PRESTON Published: August 14, 2008 A packing house floor supervisor who is facing criminal immigration charges stemming from his work at a meat plant in Iowa has asked the federal judge hearing his case to recuse herself, claiming she is not impartial.

News Alert! New Radio Ad Asks Environmentalists to Consider Immigration-Driven Population Growth's Effects on Natural Treasures
-- The Primary Factor Driving Future U.S. Population Growth Is Immigration --
CAPS has launched a radio campaign in California linking population growth to environmental degradation. The ads make the point that immigration is the number one factor driving California and U.S. population growth. The radio spots are running in areas with high concentrations of environmentally sensitive Californians.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, mass immigration is the number one factor driving population growth in California and America today. The Pew Hispanic Research Center projects that 82% of all population growth in the U.S. between 2005 and 2050 will be a result of immigration and births to immigrants. "In the last decade these factors have accounted for nearly 100% of California’s population=2 0growth," according to Diana Hull, President of CAPS.

Hull commented, "If we want to start healing our environment, we've got to slow population growth. More people mean more cars, more sprawl, higher energy demands, more air pollution, more demand for water and more 'paved-over farmland.'" Hull continued, "With America's population growing at its current rate, every time we make an environmental gain, our population increases and the gains are erased. Reducing immigration is the key to slowing future population growth and recapturing the momentum in the battle to save California's natural treasures. It's time for California to lead the rest of the country on this issue."

The radio ad identifies the real "inconvenient truth" as the fact that population growth and environmental degradation are related, "people drive cars, create sprawl, destroy forests and pollute." The ad goes on to illustrate the correlation between California's population growth and energy consumption over the last 30 years and concludes by acknowledging that rolling back mass immigration is tough for "compassionate Californians" to swallow. "But there are times" Hull stated "when hard choices must be made for the greater good."
