|Attorney, blogger, pundit, writer
Debbie Schlussel (born April 9, 1969) is an American attorney, author, political commentator, and a blogger. She has been published in the New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Times and The Jerusalem Post
Schlussel has made controversial and critical comments about groups of people, including American Muslims, sexual assault victims, Polish people, illegal immigrants, female athletes, and Holocaust survivors (see below). She became best known for her August 2015 response to former president Jimmy Carter's announcement that he was diagnosed with cancer. As criticism of her mounted, Schlussel repeatedly tweeted, "a cancer has cancer".[1]
Early life and political career[edit]
Schlussel was born in Southfield, Michigan to a family of Polish Jewish descent. She received a BA from the University of Michigan and later earned a JD and MBA from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. In 1990, Schlussel ran for the Republican nomination for the 4th District (Oakland County) of the Michigan House of Representatives. She was defeated by Barbara Dobb by a single vote from around 8500 cast.[2] Schlussel has since claimed that voter fraud led to her defeat, making allegations of impropriety against the family of her opponent and the judge who ruled on the issue.[3]
In 1998, she lost in the same district (now renamed the 39th) against Marc Shulman. She responded to the defeat by attacking Shulman, in particular when he received the Republican nomination for the Michigan Supreme Court.[4][5][6]
Professional life and views[edit]
Schlussel is a member of the Detroit Film Critics Society, who reviews films for both radio and her web site.[7]
The New York Times described her in 2010 as, "a kind of all-purpose film critic, political commentator and Web opinion spinner."[8] Her columns (mainly about politics) have been published in the New York Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Times, and The Jerusalem Post, amongst others. Her film reviews are posted at Big Hollywood, which is part of Breitbart.com. She was a talk show host at radio station WXYT-FM, then known as WKRK, in Detroit from 2002-03.[9]
View of Muslims[edit]
Author William Youmans[who?] described Schussel as a "leading right-wing observer of AD [Arab Detroit, whose] blogging, articles, and op-eds inform other right-wing activists, who mobilize against government-community relations when they seem too cozy. This group has called for greater scrutiny of Arab and Muslim Americans by government officials, and officials they consider pro-Arab are frequent targets of their protests. Consistently, Schlussel and her allies have sought to expose the 'true nature' of Detroit's Arab Americans as potential terrorists."[10] Schlussel has often alleged that "mainstream" "American" politicians, ranging from Republican Fred Thompson to Democrat Barack Obama, have connections with radical Islam,[11]
In October 2001 she criticized President George W. Bush for alleged ties to the Council on American–Islamic Relations,[12] a group with which she would tangle in court a decade later.[13][14]
In 2005, she wrote an editorial in the Wall Street Journal accusing Morgan Spurlock (who produced the documentary series 30 Days and film Super Size Me) of unbalanced and faulty methods in preparing a documentary about Islam.[15][16]
In 2005, Schlussel opined that "WNBA players are bad role models for young girls", citing as one example Anna DeForge, who is a lesbian.[17][18] She was criticized for these statements by player Kayte Christensen in an Arizona Republic column.[18][19]
During and following the 2006 captivity of American journalist Jill Carroll in Iraq, Schlussel said that Carroll hated Israel and America, and implied that Carroll sympathized with her captors.[20][21] When objections were raised,[22][23] she responded to her critics as "blind worshippers of Jill Carroll" in need of "LASIK."[24] In 2007, she stated that atheists are intolerant of Christians,[25][26] and wrote that American Muslims are no more moderate than those in the Middle East; that blog post of hers was read aloud on The Rush Limbaugh Show.[27][28]
Other commentators have not been so favorable; for example, Aaron Goldstein and John Tabin of The American Spectator criticized Schlussel for a lack of diligence and for being unreliable.[29][30]
In 2011, Schlussel provoked controversy by her comments after CBS reporter Lara Logan was sexually assaulted while covering Egyptian protests. Schlussel stated, "Lara Logan was among the chief cheerleaders of this 'revolution' by animals. Now she knows what Islamic revolution is really all about. So sad, too bad, Lara."[31][32][33]
After the killing of Osama bin Laden, Schlussel wrote on her blog "1 down, 1.8 billion to go", referring to the world's Muslim population.[31][34][35]
Schlussel has said about American Muslims "As I've repeatedly said before, American Muslims are NO different than Muslims on the streets of Riyadh, Cairo, Benghazi, and Bint Jbeil. They are just as extreme, and the American border is a fiction of convenience for them, NOT something that magically moderates them." [36]
In 2011, she was listed by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as one of 10 people in the United States' "Anti-Muslim Inner Circle".[37][38]
On May 30, 2012 Schlussel wrote a blog post[39] commenting about a speech by President Barack Obama, in which he mistakenly used the phrase "Polish death camps" referring to the German death camps in occupied Poland.[40][41] Schlussel said Obama owed no apology for his remark, and she criticized ...
the feigned shock and fake moralizing over his comments, yesterday, about German Nazi death camps in Poland being a Polish death camp...Poles murdered millions of Jews, they maintained several death camps, and they wiped out almost all of both sides of my family, as well as those in hundreds of thousands of other Jewish families. This wasn't just the Nazis. It was tens of thousands of eager Poles and more.[39]
In addition to discussing Polish collaboration with the Nazis, she said that a "majority were all too happy for the Judenrein". She discounted the Polish Righteous Among the Nations by stating that only a "very tiny few" gentile Poles aided the Jews.[39] Her commentary provoked protest in Poland.[42] The chairman of the Polish Parliament's Foreign Affairs Commission, Grzegorz Schetyna, called her commentary a pack of lies.[43]
In its daily news release, the Polish government-affiliated Institute of National Remembrance dubbed Schlussel's commentary as defamatory.[44]
Holocaust survivor controversy[edit]
|This section may lend undue weight to certain ideas, incidents, or controversies. Please help to create a more balanced presentation. Discuss and resolve this issue before removing this message. (March 2015)
In 2014, Schlussel alleged that Jewish children who escaped Europe prior to World War II via the kindertransport were not Holocaust survivors. The St. Louis Holocaust Museum and Learning Center referred to the blog post in which Schlussel made this claim as "vicious" and issued a statement asserting that
"We at the St. Louis Holocaust Museum and Learning Center define a survivor as someone who lived and suffered under Nazi occupation. This definition was informed by the official terminology used by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum; …any person, Jewish or non-Jewish, who was displaced, persecuted, or discriminated against due to racial, religious, ethnic, social and political policies of the Nazis and their collaborators between 1933 and 1945. In addition to former inmates of concentration camps, ghettos and prisons, this definition includes, among others, people who were refugees or were in hiding.' Likewise, Yad Vashem, the national Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, defines survivors, as 'Jews who lived for any amount of time under Nazi domination, direct or indirect, and survived.' Clearly, those rescued through a kindertransport meet the above criteria."
The statement went on to say:
By creating her own personal designation of who is a survivor, Schlussel dishonors and discredits thousands of other individuals who were torn away from their families, suffered displacement and sometimes abuse and neglect in their new, unfamiliar surroundings. Most never saw their parents again, as was the case for the target of her vitriol, who lost both parents, and other family members in Auschwitz.[45]

Instead, thanks to the rule changes, if the receiving team scores only a field goal in its opening possession, the team that kicked off in overtime will have its own chance to drive for the tying score, forcing the game into "sudden death" where whoever scores next wins.
The new rules – which are the first tweaks to the league's overtime rules since 1974 – have all sorts of stipulations that the coaches, players and officials are going to have to adjust to. For example, the game can still end on the opening possession if the receiving team scores a touchdown rather than a field goal. Conversely, a defensive score would automatically end the game as well, regardless of whether it's a touchdown or safety. If the team that receives the ball first is forced to punt or simply turns the ball over, then whoever scores next wins.
Perhaps the oddest part of the rule – and surely the part that will cause the most confusion – concerns onsides kicks. For some reason the owners decided that if the team kicking off during overtime successfully recovers an onsides kick, then they can win just by scoring on that drive, even if they only get a field goal. Apparently the league is counting "being in the position to receive a kickoff" as a possession, regardless of whether anyone on the kickoff return team touches the ball or not.
The important thing to remember is that these overtime changes will only concern playoff games – unless the owners decide to implement them for the regular season as well when they meet again in May. However, if the league's head coaches have anything to say about it, that notion will be swiftly put to rest, because many of them have already complained about the new rules, saying that they weren't consulted on them and that they'll now be forced into making unfamiliar and untested strategic decisions during the most important games of the season.
I can't imagine these rules being voted in for regular season overtime games as well. Then again, I would've never thought that the playoff overtime measure would be so universally embraced; 28 votes to four. Ironically, Vikings owner Zygi Wilf was one of the "nay" voters, not because he disliked the changes but rather simply due the fact that he didn't want one set of rules for the regular season and another for the playoffs.
Personally, I wasn't a fan of the old overtime format – to me it was akin to saying that if a team scores in the top of the 10th inning in baseball that the game's ends – but I don't think these changes are any better.
To me, all the league's done is swung the advantage from the team that gets the ball first to the team that's kicking off. Think about it: The receiving team is still going to play a traditional three down game, and on fourth downs they'll either kick the field goal or punt, depending on field position. But let's say, for the sake of argument, that they got a field goal. Then the second team has the advantage of having four downs to make a first down and keep the game going, knowing they have no choice but to score at least three on their drive.
The squad that's defending first has the luxury of playing "bend but don't break" defense, because all is not lost if they give up a field goal. Their opponent's defense, however, will be in a trickier spot, not just because of having to stop four downs instead of three, but also because they won't be sure of the offense's intentions. Will the team trailing be playing conservatively to just tie up the overtime and see what happens, or will they go for broke to score a touchdown and end it right then and there?
Obviously, there are a lot of variables to think about, and I don't at all envy the first coach who'll have to decide – in a playoff game no less – if he wants to kick the ball off or receive (though with these new rules I'd choose the former).
It's a shame that this format is what the league decided on, when there are simpler and fairer ways to decide the outcome, like not changing anything and just playing a shorter extra period – say ten minutes instead of fifteen – and keeping all the other rules in place. This takes the "sudden death" element out of the overtime and simply awards the victory to whoever's leading after a designated time, just like a regular game. Both the NBA and NHL do this with their overtimes.
Or, to make it even simpler, we could just move the kickoff in overtime back to the 35-yard line instead of the 30, which will produce more touchbacks and force teams to have to march 50 yards for a field goal instead of the current 40. Then there is the faction of fans who want to eliminate field goal kickers in overtime altogether, with the idea being that the winning score must be a touchdown or safety. Another idea (and my favorite) is to not worry about who has how many possessions and just say whoever scores six points first wins. The new rule is kind of like a variation of this, but not exactly.
It's all so confusing and one gets the feeling that no matter what the league ultimately decides to do, it'll be impossible to make everyone happy. Our only solace as football fans is that we're not alone.
If you think you're frustrated by these overtime rules try mentioning the phrase "penalty kick shoot-out" to a die-hard soccer fan and see what happens.

Important Information
7:30 am to 8:45: Breakfast buffet is open. When you first arrive at the Pub500, find me so you can check in. I will be at table up near the buffet. We are all wearing bright blue "Team USA" t-shirts/jerseys. There you will get a sticker to wear that gets you breakfast and the bus ride. I don't expect anyone to still be wearing them when we leave Bockfest though, after all, it is Bockfest.
8:50 to 8:59 am: Boarding of the buses takes place. Your sticker will have your bus number on it. Bus will have # on door.
9-9:15 am: We leave, with or without you, so be on time. We will arrive in New Ulm about 10ish and drop off at the Target parking lot where you get into line. Those with entry tickets usually have a shorter line.
10:30 or 11:00am: Gates open and let the Bockfest games begin.
4:30: Bockfest ends. Make your way back out to the Target parking lot to find your bus. Buses will leave at about 5pm. We will return to the Pub 500 at about 5:45pm, just in time for happy hour if you are still able.
Important things to keep in mind:
10- Park your cars in the parking ramp across from the 500. Also you cannot drink or open your own alcoholic beverages in the Pub 500. They will allow you to have your unopened cooler in there while we wait for the buses. The bar will be open for business if you did want a Bloody or a beer though.
9-Please make every attempt to keep buses clean. This is why price went from $35 to $40 this year.
8- Dress up, have fun. No one will ever make fun of you. You will be surprised how many are.
7- Beers in the past have cost 3 tickets. It takes about 2 1/2 beers to fill a Bubba Keg. See tip #3.
6- Don't stop at the first Ticket Booth, there is another one farther up with no one there. Lately, they have been selling a $20 pack of beer/food tickets at the gate area. It is much faster. So, have a twenty at the ready
5- Must be 21 to enter. Make sure you bring your ID
4- Post your photos online, you put @bockfestbusguy and @schellsbockfest to appear on the twitter feeds.
3- Buy a big mug, like the Bubba Keg. Don't wait until that day to buy one.
2- Cash, have it before we leave. Unless something changes, there is one atm at Bockfest.
1- RULE NUMBER ONE- DO NOT BE LATE! The bus WILL pull out at 9am on the button and return at 5pm. We will not wait for anyone for any reason. The lines will be long enough as it is.
Have fun, stay warm, take pictures, and enjoy the best beer festival in Minnesota

James Graham backs young Bulldogs halves to
- From: The Sunday Telegraph
- September 09, 2012
ENGLISH international James Graham has rubbished claims that Kris Keating and Josh Reynolds are the weak link in Canterbury's premiership campaign, declaring the inexperienced halves can lead the club to a premiership.
The rookie pairing stood up to the might of Manly last Friday night, guiding the Bulldogs to within one game of a grand final appearance.
Graham, who won a premiership with St Helens in the UK Super League, described the halves duo as "outstanding".
"They can carry us right through," Graham said.
"There is no reason why not. They have done an outstanding job all year and I will back them to the hilt.
"They are as good as any (halves). I don't know who is saying that, but they are certainly getting the job done and that won't change."
Keating and Reynolds had never played finals football before Friday night's match at ANZ Stadium.
Statistics show they are the second-least experienced halves pairing to feature in this year's finals series, with a combined 114 NRL matches.
Canberra's Josh McCrone and Sam Williams are the least experienced halves with a combined 110 matches under their belt.
Their lack of experience has led many critics to claim the blue and whites would crack under finals pressure.
TAB Sportsbet re-installed the Dogs as premiership favourites following Friday's win against the premiers. Graham's appraisal of his halves was backed by former Melbourne premiership prop Aiden Tolman.
"Just look at Manly last year," Tolman said.
"They had two rookie halves and they won the competition. We have all the confidence in the world that our guys can take us all the way this year."
Have your say

DEMING (AP) - A school maintenance worker suffered burns when a boiler exploded at Deming High School when he tried to turn it on.
Mike Giron, 35, suffered second-degree burns to one arm and a flash burn to the rest of his body in Tuesday morning's explosion. Mimbres Memorial Hospital said he was treated and released.
Students were not in class when the accident occurred because Tuesday was parent-teacher conference day. The school was evacuated, but conferences went on in a nearby annex. The school's gas had been shut off last Friday while a gas line was rerouted for construction, schools Superintendent Carlos Viramontes said.
The blast blew the top off the boiler, housed below the school gymnasium, and blew out nearby windows.

I went to this hairdressing salon last spring to get a brazilian blow dry. The hairdresser, who runs the salon along with her sisters, was super friendly and efficient. She explained everything about the process and the aftercare BEFORE she got started, which I really appreciated. Also, I didn't hurt that, unlike in so many salons, I only had to wait a few minutes before we got started.
I have super thick , curly hair, and since I was using a groupon, I was weary they might not take the time to deal with my crazy mane properly. I worried for nothing, because on top of being really nice, she took the time to tame all my mass of unruly curls perfectly and only charged me 5£ extra for the thick/long hair (as was specified on groupon, no more).
The result was perfect, I loved my new soft waves! I definetly recommend!

COATESVILLE Thomas Hogan, the Chester County district attorney, is accusing the Coatesville school board of trying to intimidate a witness and hinder his office's investigation into district finances, according to a scathing two-page statement released Thursday.
Hogan issued the statement in response to the Coatesville Area School District's news release Tuesday that it had suspended its assistant superintendent. Hogan said that unlike some district employees, assistant superintendent Angelo Romaniello was cooperating with his investigation.
The district said Tuesday that it was putting Romaniello on administrative leave because of information it uncovered during an internal investigation that started as a result of the district's texting scandal. The district attorney said he told the district the information it discovered about Romaniello was a "noncriminal matter," without giving details.

Congress battles to avoid Indian poll wipe-out as BJP's Modi scents power
Rahul Gandhi takes on Modi in Varanasi, but BJP confident of taking reins of power in Delhi
Campaigning in India's bitterly fought election entered its last day yesterday ahead of this week's final voting, with the Hindu-nationalist opposition already scenting victory.
Rahul Gandhi, heading the campaign of the ruling Congress party, which is seen as heading for a crushing defeat, sought to muster a final show of strength in the holy Hindu city of Varanasi.
Varanasi is one of the last constituencies set to vote in tomorrow's final leg of the multi-phase election. The city on the Ganges is being contested by Narendra Modi, tipped to lead the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to power after a decade in opposition.
Gandhi, standing in an open garland-festooned truck, shook well-wishers' hands. The broader national battle is between Congress and the BJP in the election, whose results are due on Friday.
But the media have depicted the Varanasi contest as a "David and Goliath" clash between anti-graft campaigner Arvind Kejriwal, leader of the upstart Aam Aadmi - Common Man - Party, and Modi.
Kejriwal drew huge crowds when he told Varanasi voters on Friday he was confident of "a huge majority" in the temple-studded city.
But the BJP predicted "a clear majority" nationally.
Top organiser Amit Shah said the electorate had supported the BJP "irrespective of caste [and] religion" as he sought to dispel notions that Modi's muscular Hindu nationalism was a stumbling block for voters.
Modi, 63, who has made myriad campaign stops - even appearing as a hologram to supporters - was also making a final whirlwind appeal to voters.
In the last days of the campaign, he has sought to cast off his polarising image and the BJP's religion-based reputation, pushing an agenda of good governance and growth.
"I believe in one India, the best India," said Modi, chief minister of thriving Gujarat state.
He is popular among business and middle-class voters frustrated by a sharp economic slowdown, high inflation and corruption scandals.
Still, 12 years ago, few would have guessed Modi would be in line to be prime minister after riots swept Gujarat during his early time as chief minister, killing at least 1,000 people, most of them Muslims.
The BJP leader was never charged with wrongdoing but many critics charge that he did too little to stop the violence.
Bookies reckon the likelihood of Rahul Gandhi becoming prime minister is so minuscule they have stopped taking bets, according to local media.

Upward revision of second quarter 2003 productivity growth
September 05, 2003
Productivity in the nonfarm business sector—as measured by output per hour—increased at a revised seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.8 percent in the second quarter of 2003.
A preliminary estimate of 5.7 percent had been reported on August 7, based on information available at that time. The upward revision was due primarily to a larger increase in output than originally reported.
Output in the nonfarm business sector grew 4.4 percent in the second quarter, revised upward from a preliminary estimate of 3.4 percent. Hours of all persons were down 2.3 percent, following an initially reported decline of 2.2 percent.
These data are from the BLS Productivity and Costs program. Data are subject to revision. Additional information is available in "Productivity and Costs, Second Quarter 2003, Revised" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 03-466.

Cuomo must get a grip on reality
College degrees for criminals? Will this ridiculous proposal or any other fanatical legislation like the SAFE Act or extended pre-K do anything to attract business and bring jobs to New York? What a slap in the face to the hard-working, responsible students and graduates who are making the right choices in life, struggling under the worst educational debt in history and are sadly being forced to leave this state in droves because there are no jobs.
The Cuomo administration needs to get a grip on reality. Stop with the divisive, controversial and meaningless measures that do nothing to improve life for the taxpayers who have to endure this nonsense. As far as I'm concerned, prisoners already have their degrees – first, second, third and fourth. The people who really need education are our legislators.

Skylight presents intimate take on 'Porgy & Bess'
In the summer of 1926, George Gershwin returned home from rehearsals for a new musical. Wired and needing to clear his head, he picked up a recent bestselling novel as bedtime reading. He didn't put it down until he had finished it the following morning. The novel was DuBose Heyward's "Porgy."
In "The Life and Times of Porgy and Bess: The Story of an American Classic," Hollis Alpert describes what happened next: Gershwin was so excited "by the story and its author's apparent musical sensitivity" that he immediately wrote Heyward and suggested they collaborate on an opera. Nine years later, it made a now-legendary Broadway debut as "Porgy and Bess." »Read Full Article(1)

Once, TV stations took stands during the news
Not long ago, before Fox News Channel and MSNBC wore partisanship on their sleeves, editorial commentary staking out positions on issues of the day regularly aired during local television newscasts around the country.
The Federal Communications Commission deemed editorials "in the public interest" and, since stations used public airwaves, they were required to devote airtime to discuss controversial issues of public importance and offer opposing viewpoints. But in 1987, the FCC's Fairness Doctrine was revoked, ending broadcasters' editorial obligations. »Read Full Article(3)

Uecker, who said on Sunday at the "Brewers On Deck" fan event that he turned 80 that day, not 79 as listed (he said his listed birth year of 1935 was wrong), has been doing radio broadcasts for the Brewers since 1971. He had some medical setbacks in recent years, including heart surgery, but never suggested he would cut back his schedule until now. »Read Full Blog Post(101)

Skylight's 'In the Heights' speaks to Latino experience
The Tony and Grammy award-winning musical "In the Heights" may be set on a street in New York's Washington Heights, but for Latinos in the Milwaukee cast of the Skylight Music Theatre's show, the story hits close to home.
Taking place over the course of three days, "Heights" explores the lives and dilemmas of those who live in the largely Dominican barrio. At the corner bodega they play the lottery, buy cups of café con leche, and try to find their place in a new world of promise and possibilities. »Read Full Article
Oscar-nominated 'The Great Beauty' staggeringly beautiful
"The Great Beauty" is in the eye of the beholder. The intelligently observed and staggeringly beautiful Italian foreign-language Oscar nominee is about life, death and the search for the things that give meaning to both.
The impeccably dressed and philosophically bittersweet central character — a journalist whose only novel, 40 years earlier, earned him an acclaim he has dined out on ever since — is watching his life pass by, in a series of observations with the tenuous continuity of the cosmic allegories of Terrence Malick, made more substantial. »Read Full Article(2)

In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 to require Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, as amended, was enacted to help facilitate disabled individuals' access to electronic and information technology by removing barriers to their ability to access such technology.
Section 508 applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain or use electronic and information technology. The law requires agencies to provide disabled employees and disabled members of the public with access to electronic and information technology that is comparable to the access available to all others.
Section 508 creates a strong incentive for companies that manufacture and market technology products to add or enhance accessibility features in their products. The law does not regulate the technology industry or require private companies to alter their products. It does, however, establish accessibility standards that any technology must endeavor to meet before a Federal agency can purchase it.
Western Digital supports the goals of Section 508, and we are committed to evaluating ways to make our products more accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities or age-related impairments. Our commitment allows us to assist the Federal government in making accessible technology choices.

Angry impasse threatens border solution
Byron York
After more than a year of contentious debate, could Congress be any more divided over the issue of immigration? The answer is yes.
In the House, positions are hardening over what to do about the tens of thousands of families and unaccompanied young immigrants illegally crossing the southwestern border into the United States.
On one side are Republicans, and a few Democrats, who support changing a 2008 law that makes it impossible to quickly return the young immigrants to their home countries.
On the other side is the House Democratic leadership, which after an initial period of waffling is now dead-set against such a change.
The House could quickly be headed toward a situation in which one side's top priority is the other side's deal-killer.
The 2008 law, formally known as the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, is a measure originally passed to fight sex trafficking of minors.
For young people who come to the United States illegally from non-contiguous countries -- that is, from anywhere other than Canada or Mexico -- the law establishes an elaborate and very lengthy procedure in which the federal government is required to house the child, bring in experts to determine the child's best interest, unite the child with any family members in the U.S., pay for the child's legal representation and more -- and only then, years later, to determine whether the child has an actual legal right to be in this country.
If, on the other hand, the child has come to the United States from Mexico -- a contiguous country -- he or she can be returned within 72 hours.
One obvious fix for the current crisis would be to allow the government to treat children from Central America the same way the law allows officials to treat children from Mexico now.
That change is expected to be the centerpiece of a report from the House Republican immigration working group, appointed June 24 by Speaker John Boehner.
"I don't know how you can address the problem down there without looking at the '08 law," Boehner told reporters recently. "I don't know how Congress can send more money to the border to begin to mitigate the problem if you don't do something about the '08 law that's being abused -- and it is being abused."
Texas Republican Rep. Kay Granger, who is heading the working group, told a Dallas TV station that "the first thing we need to do" is to change the 2008 law.
To many Democrats, however, that is the last thing we need to do. "I do not believe they need a change in legislation to more expeditiously provide due process for all of the children," Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said recently. "I think this can be done under current law with the proper resources."
Pelosi's answer to the border influx is to provide more money to care for the illegal immigrants, plus more money for judges to handle their cases, and then more money for lawyers to represent the immigrants before those judges. The goal is to keep as many of the illegal border crossers as possible in the United States -- and not return them to Central America.
"If you have a lawyer -- we have a survey now -- 50 percent of the time, the child can stay in the U.S.," Pelosi said. "If you don't have a lawyer, one in 10 times you can stay in the U.S. So representation is important."
Pelosi's position is shared by many House Democrats, and particularly by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, which Pelosi said is taking a leading role in shaping Democratic policy on the crisis. (Caucus members have declared their support for safeguarding the immigrants' "legal rights to due process provided under our current laws.")
The question is whether some Democrats, particularly those from red states facing difficult re-election fights, might break with their party's leadership and support a change in the 2008 law.
Boehner needs their help. Even if a border bill includes a change, some Republicans will oppose it on grounds that it's too expensive.
That means the speaker will need Democratic votes to pass the bill. It's not clear whether he'll have enough.
"I would certainly hope so," Boehner said when asked whether he believes a bill can be passed by next month. "But I don't have as much optimism as I'd like to have."

Good point, Mr. To-me. As I recall, the age of independence in Viet Nam was around ten.
BTW, speaking of "investigate," the Chairman of the AZ Senate Health and Safety Committee, Chester Crandell, went down to check out the situation (carefully avoiding all yellow buses) and found that the villa in Oracle is on federal land over which the state has no jurisdiction. He says the accommodations don't meet AZ H&S standards for orphanages and there are no medical facilities. If any of the immigrants are or become ill, they would have to be transported to Tucson. Why Homeland Security chose to house them in that location is anyone's good guess.
Liberal publications and web sites are having fun sneering at border states' concern for inadequate screening and inadequate facilities at what can only be called improvised refugee camps. But the fact is the Southwest deserts harbor nasty microbes to which we've become relatively immune. For instance, people from Honduras have no resistance to desert fever. People from south of the border are as prone to travelers' trots from our water as we are to Montezuma's revenge from theirs, and a number of serious diseases, such as cholera and malaria, are still endemic in Central America.
Healthy as these immigrants must have been to make the trek at all, if our germs debilitate them, their germs could overcome their natural resistance. And then what? Do we quarantine them in an overcrowded compound and watch them die? Do we ship them to a hospital full of already sick people and hope whatever they've got isn't contagious?
Whoever dreamed this quasi-migration up either didn't think it through or thought it through to a very bitter end.

It seems to me:
Another answer to that question lies in some Americans' definition of the word "children." Most of the current influx falls into the 13 -18 age group that most Americans call "adolescent," but that many in these immigrants' countries of origin call "adult."
Has anyone checked to make sure some or all of the children under six aren't actually accompanied by at least one parent fifteen or older? At the very least, I'd be surprised if there weren't quite a few old-enough to have families of their own aunts and uncles in each crowd.

@ More to the Story
Media...investigate? No, they'd rather rather pontificate over a Pew Research report: "117% increase in children 12 and younger crossing border alone."
The LA Times tells us that between Jun 1, 2013 and May 31, 2014, 785 unaccompanied children under 6 yrs old were apprehended after crossing into Texas.
7,460 unaccompanied children under 13 yrs old were apprehended, of which 3,585 were from Honduras.
All told, 46,932 unaccompanied children were apprehended, most of whom were 16 and 17 yrs old.
Yes, it is absurd to imagine 785 kids under the age of 6 traveling more than 1200 miles and then swimming across the Rio Grande alone.
The answer you seek lies in the new definition of "unaccompanied."

There's More to The Story
Imagine you are a 3 year old to 13 year old child or even older. You are on your own without adults.You are asked to walk from Houston, Texas to Minneapolis, Minnesota on your own with no food or belongings to sustain you.
Then you are asked to walk an additional 100 miles past Minnesota. Could you do it?
How long would it take you as a 6 year old? That is the minimum distance these poor, helpless little ones have supposedly walked from Central America to the border of Texas, again, on their own. Apparently they didn't get lost and they survived the journey without help (unless you buy in to the notion that a destitute out-of-work family run out of their homes by gangs and living in squalor somehow came up with $8,000 to $10,000 for EACH child to pay a coyote to take them to the border).
However, what 6 year old do you know who could walk 1,220 miles (minimum), yet more like 1,500 miles on their own without dying? How many days would it take for a 6 year old to walk 1,220 miles without help, directions, food, sun protection, shelter etc.?
I am beginning to think that the truth of all this is not being given completely to us, folks. Someone created and assisted this and the media should be figuring out who it is, don't you think?

This works great so long as everyone involved understands what they're passing and signing. Nowadays, bills are often written by lobbyists with language that obscures the real purpose. If a bill has to be passed to find out what's in it, it shouldn't be passed.
Take the PPACA, for example… please!

Legalize marijuana and this flood of fleeing children will stop
Since many states have become more pot friendly, the demand for marijuana in the USA has skyrocketed. To meet this increased market of marijuana to the USA is also helping to push the Mexican drug cartels south, out of Mexico. Now the drug cartel has taken over these countries to grow marijuana for the USA. Parents are telling their children to flee to America, or get killed by the drug cartels.
Stop the War on Marijuana, legalize it and stimulate the economy by growing all the marijuana we consume here in the USA. Say goodbye to the drug cartels as there will be no demand for marijuana from the USA. Then the children will stop fleeing.
Are the children actually refugees from a crisis brought on by the USA or are they illegal immigrants?

In reading Section 235 of the 2008 law I conclude that neither Bush nor most of Congress actually read or understood it. It seems to have been written to enable the madness now occurring.
Regardless of the letter of the U.S. law, "I'm Confused" has a point. Unless these "children" have visas, they entered Mexico unlawfully. By failing to enforce their own immigration laws, the Mexican government is facilitating the influx into the U.S.

....and nothing gets done: each side blames the other, Rep. Granger is heading work group to study the problem and change the bill, Pelosi wants more money for additional judges and lawyers to help the migrants....blah blah blah blah.
Lets do something simple NOW while our "elected officials" banter. Our military protects our interests and borders in other countries, time to move them back home to protect this countries immediate interests.
Me thinks, the addition of well trained, armed military personnel guarding our borders would have an instant effect on the number of illegals, not migrants or migrant children, but illegals trying to enter the country.
