An article entitled "What Education Wonks Don't Realize About The "Bad Teachers"Â￾ They're Complaining About"

Here's what education wonks don't realize about the "bad teachers"Â￾ they're complaining aboutâ€"they're mostly black.

But the problem with this is that if they start firing teachers for incompetence, minorities will be hardest hit. The variable that impacts the effectiveness of teaching isn't the level of education, it's teacher IQ.

An article entitled "Obama orders new loans for unqualified blacks."

Affirmative action loans to unqualified blacks and Hispanics triggered a worldwide financial crises. Obama was at the forefront of demanding lower standards for blacks the entire time.

The American economy is still in shambles because of the subprime mortgage crises. None of this matters for Obama, who wants to restart the entire ordeal all over again.

Obongo continues kissing the backside of the latinos...all to score brownie points (for votes).

Obama pushes to revive immigration reform, woo Hispanics

By National Journal national Journal â€" Tue May 10, 9:51 am ET

By Aamer Madhani
National Journal

President Obama renewed his call for comprehensive immigration reform in a major address at the U.S.-Mexico border on Tuesday and attempted to restart the debate on an issue he spoke passionately about as a candidate but has made little headway on during his presidency.

In a speech in El Paso, Texas, Obama argued that his administration has made significant progress on border security over the last two years, answering GOP opponents' objections to tackling reform legislatively.

The Obama administration has doubled the number of patrol agents along the border and deported nearly 400,000 illegal immigrants last year, facts that the president said underscore that the conditions are right for a serious debate on overhauling the nation's immigration policy, administration officials said. The president also said that current immigration laws are keeping innovative thinkers and skilled workers from contributing to the U.S. economy.

But even in making his case to reopen the debate on immigration reform, Obama noted that it would be difficult to get comprehensive immigration reform through a divided Congress.

[ For complete coverage of politics and policy, go to Yahoo! Politics ]


"We have gone above and beyond what was requested by the very Republicans who said they supported broader reform as long as we got serious about enforcement," Obama said. "All the stuff they asked for, we've done. But even though we've answered these concerns, I suspect there will be those who will try to move the goal posts one more time."

(Photos: Recent attempts at immigration reform)

In his address, Obama offered just broad outlines of what he thought comprehensive reform should look like:

He suggested that the U.S. government has to fulfill its responsibility of securing the nation's borders. Businesses who exploit undocumented workers should be dealt with severely. Illegal workers currently in the country would have to pay fines, taxes, learn English and go to the back of line of those trying to immigrate legally. And the law needs to be reshaped so that it's easier for foreigners who come to the U.S. for school to stay and work once they earn their degrees.

To be sure, passing any legislation in a divided Congress faces long odds. But by simply putting the issue on the front burner, Obama's effort could help energize a constituency that will be key to the president's reelection efforts.

"There's a political consequence and what he says will go a long way in promoting enthusiasm among Hispanic voters," Rep. Charles Gonzalez, D-Tex., chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, told National Journal.

As a candidate, Obama spoke passionately about immigration reform, intoning a moral imperative to bring an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States "out of the shadows."

(For the Hispanic vote, immigration reform might be the wrong track)

Addressing the issue now could have a direct impact on the president's survival at the polls in 2012. Obama won 67 percent of the Hispanic vote in 2008, but he has been hammered by CHC members for giving immigration reform short shrift after promising on the campaign trail that he would make passing immigration reform a central part of his agenda during the first year of his presidency. CHC members have also criticized the administration for setting a new record in 2010 with 392,000 deportations.

Obama did back the Dream Act, legislation that would offer some young illegal immigrants a path to legal residency by going to college or serving the U.S. military, but an attempt to pass the legislation was blocked in Senate during the lame-duck session.

Last week, members of the CHC pressed Obama to use administrative powers to prevent deportation of illegal immigrants that would have been protected under the Dream Act, but Obama seemed hesitant to act unilaterally and told lawmakers that immigration needed to be fixed through legislation.

"I know some here wish that I could just bypass Congress and change the law myself," Obama said Tuesday. "But that's not how a democracy works."

(10 facts about the job market)

Hispanic groups are reminding the president that they played a large part in helping him win in 2008, and could play the difference in many battleground states in his reelection effort.

Obama won in 2008 despite notching just 43 percent of the white vote. With the economy foundering he could find it difficult to reach even that modest vote tally in 2012. But thanks to minority population growth in key states he won in 2008â€"including Florida, Nevada, and Virginiaâ€"he could still pull out victory with an even smaller segment of white voters, according to a National Journal analysis.

More than any group, Hispanics are driving the country's minority growth. One in six Americans, or about 50.5 million, is Hispanic, according to the 2010 census. That's up from one in eight, or 35.3 million, in 2000.

In his speech, Obama reframed immigration reform as an economic and law-and-order issue. Administration officials said that the White House would also draw members of the faith-based community and business leaders into the conversation, an effort that they hope could help draw Republicans into the discussion. The White House is in the process of arranging 30 community conversations to raise the issue's profile.

"When an issue is this complex and raises such strong feelings, it's easier for politicians to defer the problem until after the next election. And there's always a next election," Obama said. "So we've seen a lot of blame and politics and ugly rhetoric. We've seen good faith efforts â€" from leaders of both parties â€" fall prey to the usual Washington games. And all the while, we've seen the mounting consequences of decades of inaction."

In 1995, 6,000 blacks applied to be firefighters but didn't score high enough on the aptitude test. Now they will be showered with free money for being black. A select 111 will get hired as firefighters and get a free 16 year pension credit.

http://cofcc.org/2011/05/6000-chicago-blacks-to-share-30-million-in-latest-get-rich-lawsuit/

Hilarious. The City claims a partial victory because it only has to hire 111 black firefighters instead of the 132 sought in the lawsuit. Edited by: icsept

An article entitled "California's Two-Tier Demographic Disaster"

The latest news from California shows the stupidity of welcoming millions of unskilled immigrants and illegal aliens who have no desire to assimilate to American values of education and improvement. They may temporarily provide cheap labor for business, but the long-term harm is permanent.

A huge proportion of the state's population is mired in stubborn poverty, according to a recent analysis of 2010 census data.

An article entitled "AEI's Wallison Wimps Out On Minority Mortgage Meltdown"

The Obama Administration is now suing more banks for not lending enough to minoritiesâ€"inevitably weakening credit standards in the process, which was exactly the mistake that both Wallison and I believe led to the Crash of 2008. As a member of the Establishment Beltway Right, Wallison could be an important voice in opposing this farcical, but apparently inevitable, rerun of history.

But, unfortunately, Wallison wimps out on explaining exactly what these "housing policies"Â￾ were about: getting more mortgage money into the hands of blacks and Hispanics. What the U.S. had in 2007-2008 was a "Minority Mortgage Meltdown"Â￾, and it precipitated our first "Diversity Recession"Â￾. Wallison cannot bring himself to be so frank.

An article entitled "Mortgage Lending Industry Strategic Markets & Diversity Conference"

All these years after the mortgage meltdown, most well-informed Americans have yet to hear about the existence of the mortgage diversity industry. The number of activists and academics employed by the mortgage diversity biz isn't huge, but it's not insignificant either. And it has a major impact on molding reporting on mortgage and diversity issues. Since all the self-proclaimed experts are rewarded for promoting more lending to the diverse, we get a one-sided view. This industry's conventions don't rival AIPAC's wingding, but they're not insubstantial.

The hot topic is Rep. Maxine Water's Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires hiring lots of diversity compliance officers who will then funnel money to others in the diversity industry.

An article entitled "Affirmative action hiring practices has left the TSA with an army of thieves."

Due to extreme "affirmative action"Â￾ (aka blatant institutional discrimination against white people), a TSA employee is over twice as likely as a private sector employee to be black. He is also 30% more likely to be Latino.

Meanwhile the TSA is the laughing stock of the entire world. Over 500 TSA employees have been fired for stealing from airline passengers

I've only ridden in a commercial airplane once in my entire life. The flight left from Philadelphia Airport. Aside from the pilots, stewardess crew, and an insignificant percentage of the booking clerks, every single employee working with the airport was either black or Hispanic.

It was an absurd gluttony of utterly interchangeable specimens all of whom exhibit identical physical features (jet-black hair, jet-black corneas, dark skin, and a nonexistent work ethic). A true zenith of "diversity"Â￾

TSA, as well as every single conglomerate airline company, deserves to simmer slowly in the hell they've spawned within their own facilities.

An article entitled "The Past Is An Unknown Countryâ€"NYT's Astonishing Ignorance On Minority Mortgage Meltdown"

The New York Times appears genuinely surprised to discover that racial activists like La Raza and the NAACP are teaming up with big mortgage lenders to try to undermine prudent regulation of home loans. Who could imagine such a thing?

New Hispanic majority transforms culture of Pa. region

READING, Pa. â€" Reading High School marked a milestone this month: a graduation ceremony with its first Hispanic valedictorian. Noe Cabello is unlikely to be the last.

By Bob Miller

Noe Cabello, 17, a first-generation immigrant from Mexico, is the first Latino valedictorian at Reading High School in eastern Pennsylvania.

The Hispanic population of this historically white city shaped by English and German ancestry â€" along with the surrounding Lehigh Valleyâ€" has skyrocketed in the past decade, echoing a national trend highlighted by the 2010 Census.

Reading, now 58% Hispanic, is the latest harbinger for a more diverse America in regions where Hispanic migration has been a relatively recent development.

"If you look at the Census data from 2000 and now 2010, you can see that there's this phenomenon of Latinos moving to parts of the United States where there hasn't been Latinos before," says Stanton Wortham, a University of Pennsylvania researcher who specializes in linguistics and immigrant studies. "The biggest research question from a national point of view is the question of, what are these new Latino populations' trajectories going to be over the next decade?"

Longer term, the Census Bureau predicts that the nation will be one-quarter Hispanic by 2050.

By Raymond Thompson, Syracuse News21

Barber Gregory Slete takes his chair outside so customers at D'Clase Unisex Salon have a better view of the annual Afro-Latino Parade in Reading, Pa., on June 12.

In this area, Hispanic community members and ethnic organizations have brought dramatic culture change. Downtown centers brim with signs in Spanish pointing to corner bodegas (grocery stores), travel agencies and money-wire services. Local police officers enjoy $1 tacos on Tuesdays at Taquería Los Amigos in Allentown, and a Dominican establishment, Mi Casa Su Casa, in Reading offers empanadas (turnovers) with lattes. Passing cars reverberate with the modern salsa beats of cumbia music or hip-hop-influenced reggaeton blasting from a 24-hour, FM Spanish-language radio station.

Such street scenes, long common in Los Angeles or Miami, have migrated to city centers in eastern states, including Virginia, Georgia and New Jersey.

Workforce propels change

Maricel Concepción, 34, a quality analyst at a software company, moved in 2000 from Puerto Rico to Allentown, about 40 miles northeast of Reading. She says the downtown reminds her of cities in Puerto Rico, while Allentown's small-town feel and quiet living remind her of the countryside in her native land. "I think that's why I feel comfortable here," Concepción says.

Octavio Peña, 60, who moved to the Lehigh Valley in 1976, says it took awhile for native residents to adjust to their new neighbors. "They didn't accept the Latinos" at first, he says. "But now there's a different culture here; a lot of people got more comfortable with it."

Gregory Lauray, an accountant who lives in Bethlehem, next door to Allentown, says he has heard non-Hispanics speak resentfully about the new arrivals in the area. "I understand on the one hand because of the rapid growth and the rapid change it's happening quicker than anybody anticipated," he says. "But the thing is also America is built on immigrants. I think that's a major part of our history."

Vaughn Spencer, an African American who graduated from Reading High School in 1965 and is Reading's current City Council president, remembers attending school with three blacks and one Hispanic.

"Go out there now," Spencer says. Reading High is currently 72% Hispanic, according to John Duggan, the school's guidance counselor.

Wortham says demographic movement is principally about chasing jobs. "It's the same reason my ancestors came over a hundred years ago."

The Hispanic immigrant experience deeply mirrors that of Europeans, particularly from Italy and Poland, says Emilio Parrado, a University of Pennsylvania professor who specializes in Hispanic immigration. These immigrants came from disadvantaged backgrounds, and in many cases, took more than three generations to make significant progress in education, employment and intermarriage.

Today, Hispanic small-business ownership is booming, especially in restaurant work, construction and landscaping, where fluent English might not be a necessity. The 2007 survey of business owners by the Census Bureau showed that Hispanic business ownership had grown by 43% in just five years.

"They look for opportunities to move up, socially," Parrado explains. "That's why the immigrants, especially, they work a lot, they work more than one job. And they try to provide opportunities for their kids, to send them to school. They look for better housing, and they open businesses. And everything is guided by this expectation of social mobility."

Good work ethic translates

Reading High valedictorian Noe Cabello's father left his family in their small town of Lobera, Mexico, to find work in Texas.

After a few months, Victor Cabello says he came to Reading because friends told him there was more work here.

After 13 years, he saved enough money to bring his wife and five children, including 8-year-old Noe, to Reading.

This fall, Noe will attend Johns Hopkins University on a full scholarship.

Noe attributes some of his educational success to the English Language Acquisition courses he took for 2½ years when he first moved to the USA.

His greatest motivation, he says, comes from his parents: "They try to do their best to sustain us and give us the best life they can provide.

"Even if it might not be a lot, they try their best. Sometimes I feel I'm not only doing this for me, but for them."

Noe understands the significance of being his school's first Hispanic valedictorian but says he looks forward to the day when such distinctions no longer matter or qualify as headline news.

"I just hope that later on "¦ just being the valedictorian for Reading High School would be enough," he says.

Let me get this straight.. A Mexican won Valedictorian at a school that is 72% Hispanic? Great Job! He must have defeated all those "genius" Dominicans, El Salvadorans, Colombians and Guatamalans!

Deadlift, I was thinking how interesting it is that it took such a long time and an overwhelming number of "may-he-con-us" before they could produce a valedictorian. Doesn't say much for their smarts, does it? I know of several big high schools that are 90%+ black and they still regularly have White valedictorians. Pretty telling stuff.

the school i taught at this past year was 99.2% black, and the smartest kid in the entire school (it was a middle school for 6-7 grade) was the only White kid in the 6th grade. it is no surprise, i'd bet, that a White kid took this role.

the tragic thing (and in my view criminal behavior by their parents) he was one of only two White kids at the school.

An article entitled "How Carter, Clinton, and G.W. Bush killed black & Latino wealth."

Carter was first to demand that banks forgo common sense to put more blacks in homes. Clinton accelerated the efforts. Clinton’s housing secretary even publicly admitted that black and Latino foreclosure rates would increase, but it was worth it to put more in houses. Bush accelerated these efforts even more. Bush said it wasn’t enough that blacks and Latinos were buying “starter houses.â€￾ He called for more affirmative action loaning to put minorities in “better houses.â€￾ Obama aided by working on lawsuits against banks to force them to engage in affirmative action loaning.

During the Bush administration, Republicans in the House tried to bring back common sense. They were screamed at by the Black Caucus and called “racists.â€￾

Pennsylvania is a dying state...the economy there went downhill back in the 60s and 70s. It was largely based on mining and textile manufacturing. Neither of those exist in Pennsylvania anymore. What jobs are available for what I can safely assume are non-skilled laborers?

The real reason there is a large number of latinos is due to the lax welfare restrictions/ease of access to entitlements in the state. I have relatives in Northeast PA and going their as a kid in the 80s-90s I remember it being very white. Lately I have noticed a sharp increase in Latino/Blacks. I ask myself the logical question...why are these people in this town now? They are not here to take part in a thriving economic region, it is the welfare and govt handouts.

I grow up in Allentown, PA, it was a steel town and ninty percent white, then all these blacks started comming in from Maryland, New Jersey and Virginia, and the crime rate drastically rose. I remember when I was twelve my first job was at a theme park name Dorney Park. It was a family water park, where white people would spent time with their kids, then all these blacks families moved in and it became a hang out for gangbangers and thugs, very few whites started going there and not many kids. I remember a twelve year old white kid that I was working with was assaulted by a twenty something year old black man. These people are locust and until they are stopped they will fill up are towns and or prisons.

An article entitled "Illegal aliens torch holding center in Italy."

Obama’s war against Libya is keeping illegal immigration flood gate open in southern Europe.

Since the Obama/Sarkozy attack on Libya, tens of thousands of illegal aliens from Africa have been flooding southern Europe. Qaddafi had been cooperating with many nations to halt the flow of illegal aliens. When NATO attacked, the flow of boat people resumed worse than ever.

The tiny Italian Island of Lampedusa has been hit by an invasion of over 50,000 illegal alien boat people, most of whom launched their boats from Libya. That is more than 10 illegal aliens for every Italian citizen living on the island. Italy has vowed to repatriate them back to Africa.

Yesterday, illegal alien thugs burned down a detention center and attacked residents of the island.
