Skip to comments.Stop talking about the Hispanics for a moment what about Asian-Americans?
Posted on 11/11/2012 6:21:04 AM PST by SeekAndFind
Apart from some fatuous self-congratulation from Asian-American liberals, there has been very little discussion of the 73-26 Asian-American margin of support for President Obama in last Tuesday's election. That's slightly smaller than the highest estimate of Latino support for Obama, at 75-23. Asian-Americans are a small minority now but their numbers are growing rapidly.
Most conservatives consider Asian-Americans poster-children for the American model of self-motivated success. The facts bear this out. The Pew Research Center reported last July:
Asian Americans are the highest-income, best-educated and fastest-growing racial group in the United States. They are more satisfied than the general public with their lives, finances and the direction of the country, and they place more value than other Americans do on marriage, parenthood, hard work and career success…
Asians recently passed Hispanics as the largest group of new immigrants to the United States. The educational credentials of these recent arrivals are striking. More than six-in-ten (61%) adults ages 25 to 64 who have come from Asia in recent years have at least a bachelors degree. This is double the share among recent non-Asian arrivals, and almost surely makes the recent Asian arrivals the most highly educated cohort of immigrants in U.S. history.
Compared with the educational attainment of the population in their country of origin, recent Asian immigrants also stand out as a select group. For example, about 27% of adults ages 25 to 64 in South Korea and 25% in Japan have a bachelors degree or more.2In contrast, nearly 70% of comparably aged recent immigrants from these two countries have at least a bachelors degree.
Asian-American kids occupy nearly three-quarters of the places at New York City's exam-based high schools (including Bronx Science and Stuyvesant) although they comprise less than 12% of the student population. The main threat to the upward striving of working-class immigrant kids who study hard to get into top schools is the NAACP. The New York Times reported Oct. 15:
NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and other groups filed a racial bias complaint with the United States Education Department. They charge that reliance on a single test for determining who gets into Bronx Science and seven other specialized high schools discriminates against young African-Americans and Latinos. Other factors, like student grades, need to be considered as well, they say.
Asians "also stand out for their strong emphasis on family," the Pew study reported. "More than half (54%) say that having a successful marriage is one of the most important things in life; just 34% of all American adults agree. Two-thirds of Asian-American adults (67%) say that being a good parent is one of the most important things in life; just 50% of all adults agree."
If the Republican Party can't win the support of the immigrant group with the strongest family values and the most success in achieving the American dream, what can it say to the Hispanics, the immigrant group with the least success in achieving the American dream?
I do not mean to be glib. The issue requires study. But I will venture a guess: Asian-Americans, like any other immigrant group, come here with the hope of bringing family members with them. Tough enforcement of immigration laws makes life as hard for them as it does for any other immigrant group, and frustrates their hope of reuniting families in America. The result of our present immigration laws is that we fail to keep out the illegals we don't want, and make it harder to absorb the skilled and energetic immigrants we do want. There will be endless discussion during the next few months of Romney's mistake in moving to the right of Rick Perry on immigration during the Republican primaries, and I will leave the detailed parsing to the professionals. I hope the professionals talk to Asian-Americans first.
America is unlikely to tolerate ethnic quotas (Asians in, Hispanics out). There are plenty of bright Hispanics as well (with 25% unemployment in Spain, German firms are recruiting Spanish engineers to fill the 30,000 job openings for engineers in Germany). But there is a sensible way to encourage the kind of immigration that boosts economic growth and discourage the kind of immigration that impedes economic growth.
The distinguished Canadian economist Prof. Reuven Brenner of McGill University wrote two years ago in First Things magazine:
Without innovation, America faces prolonged stagnation. The outlook seems bleak. Between 1988 and 1998, manufacturing productive growth rose from less than 2 percent to more than 5 percent per annum. By 2008, it had fallen back to the 2 percent range as the great wave of innovation abated. This outcome is not inevitable, however. America has been obtaining a disproportionate flow of skilled innovators by attracting these vital few to its shores. Without their contribution, America may neither sustain the economic growth required to absorb the penurious many nor raise their standards of living. The impact of the vital few does trickle down…
The problem lies in policy. American sentiment toward immigrants has swung from boomtown hospitality to churlish xenophobia in the course of the present recession…
It is hard to blame opponents of immigration. Earlier this year, the Pew Hispanic Center reported that Californias estimated 2.7 million illegal residents7 percent of the states populationadd $4 billion to $6 billion in costs. Cutting off state payments for the American-born children of immigrants supposedly would save about $640 million a year. By similar estimates, Arizonas illegal immigrant population is costing the states taxpayers about $1.3 billion per year. Whether these estimates are exact or only in the ballpark, it is clear that poor migrants drain state finances under the present institutional and regulatory landscape, and the drain is substantial.
…The least the United States can do is try, explicitly, to attract the vital few to its shores and, at the same time, speed up the domestic production of talent.
…Congress should first increase visas for skilled immigrantsthose who would invest in their own entrepreneurial ventures in the United States in particular. Congress also should facilitate a temporary worker program, but without instantaneously bestowing on those workers the many monetary government benefits for which Americas already taxpaying citizens are eligible. For immigrants in the United States who do not have proper documentation but who have built up equity in this country, opportunities should be provided to obtain legalization if they can demonstrate good moral character. Such an earned legalization should be achievable and verifiable in an accountable manner.
As Prof. Brenner observes, immigrants have made a disproportionate contribution to American economic growth in recent years. "At the height of the last tech boom in 1999, Chinese and Indian engineers were at the helm of 24 percent of the technology companies started in Silicon Valley," he writes, adding:
In 25.3 percent of [high-tech and engineering] companies, at least one key founder was foreign-born.
Of all immigrant-founded companies, 26 percent had Indian founders; 7 percent had founders of British and Chinese origin; 6 percent had founders from Taiwan; Japanese and German founders each led 5 percent; 4 percent had founders from Israel; 3 percent had founders from Canada; and 2.5 percent had founders from Iran.
In Massachusetts the single largest founding group was Israelis, at 17 percent.
Indian entrepreneurs dominated in New Jersey, leading 47 percent of all immigrant-founded start-ups.
Immigrants also represented 24.2 percent of international patent applications filed from the United States in 2006. Chinese filed the largest number of patents, followed by Indians, Canadians, and British.
If we Republicans can't persuade our most successful, entrepreneurial, family-oriented citizens to support us, we won't be in business much longer.
Asian Americans are supposed to be smart.
There goes that theory.
I am Norweigan American, yeah, what about us whities?
RE: Asian Americans are supposed to be smart.
Having a high IQ does not necessarily equate to being WISE.
The Bible does distinguish between wisdom and intelligence.
There are many FOOLISH intelligent people out there.
RE: I am Norweigan American, yeah, what about us whities?
1) Norwegian Americans are welcome to immigrate, but they aren't.
20 How about having more children?
But...but...what about Euro-Americans? (I now refuse to check the "white" box).
What about me? I'm an American, so I guess I don't count.
OMG! Stop talking about the minority and start talking about how the STOP the STUPID PARTY foisting a rino on the electorate! rinos are losers.
They should be conservative. I thought for the most part that US asians were...
Well if tis the muslim demographics controlling this then Alquida will win the terror war. we are doomed.
We can run the next Hiram Fong.
Whites don't vote as an ethnic group.
They love the idea of Santa Claus and untaxed income. Among Asians the Democrat party is the party of the freebie. No need to change to any other party.
Maybe we should've ran Akin or Mourdock? They did so well capturing senate seats.
Have universities started curbing the intake of Norwegian Americans like they currently do to Asian-Americans (Chinese/Indian/Korean etc.)?
1) Chinese don't vote-they don't like jury duty.
2) Feeleepeenos are like Mexicans-poor and they like freebees.
"They should be conservative. I thought for the most part that US asians were..."
The several families that I know well, are all conservative. As for their American-educated kids? Don't really know,,,,,,,,, The gals are the best! They scoff at American womyn who are in love with obama.
Large Asian communities here in NE Los Angeles - came over as Hong Kong went back to China. I hear from a student that most of his classmates (Middle School) voted for O. That has to be a good % of Asians!
"Asian Americans are supposed to be smart."
They are not only smart but work hard, have a strong respect for education and a strong discipline in applying themselves to whatever task the embark.
Jewish-Americans are supposed to be smart.
They are not only smart but work hard, have a strong respect for education and a strong discipline in applying themselves to whatever task the embark.
The question is: "Why aren't they voting for the Republicans/Conservatives who promote meritocracy, hard work, intelligence?"
Well, when the prevailing attitude is
Don't worry about spending money on the Blacks, they won't vote for us anyway...after all they are only 10% of the population.
Don't worry about spending money on the Hispanics, they won't vote for us anyway...after all they are only 10% of the population.
Don't worry about spending money on the Asians, they won't vote for us anyway...after all they are only 10% of the population.
Don't worry about spending money on the Gays, they won't vote for us anyway...after all they are only 10% of the population.
Don't worry about spending money on the Poor White Trash, they won't vote for us anyway...after all they are only 10% of the populations...
Add that to the CORE that would vote for a complete schmuck such as BO, Gore, Kerry and you are sitting on the sidelines.
That said-- the predisposition to give Hussein 85% of their support.... point taken.
How Hispanics, Asians vote- none of that matters if we tolerate massive voter fraud.

Thanks for what you are doing. My son is friends with a guy in the Romney campaign who has actually been on since 2008. He is not high up, but said that the O campaign bought high tech equipment to target county by county where the votes were needed in battle-ground states, so that they could bus in the needed votes. The guy would not say fraud, but that is fraud.

BREAKING: St. Lucie County, Florida Had 141.1% Turnout; Obama Won County
Between St. Lucie and Broward Counties, we have a pretty good idea what happened in Florida. Normal voting is what, 50% turnout? It doesnt take many counties like this to affect an entire state by multiple percentage points.
All of these numbers between 99% (Pennsylvania) and 141.1% (Florida) turnout in dozens of counties in swing states makes me think Team Obama was panicking a lot just before the election, with Mitt up by 7% in certain early voting polls.
They overcompensated so much the fraud is impossible to hide. I think they know it, which may be one reason Axelrod is stepping down. (Sound familiar Petraeus and Benghazi?)
As I told someone earlier today, this is who Obama is. This is who Chicago (the machine) is.
Do we really want this to be who America is?
Is this how we will define our elections from 2008 on? As Mitt says, America can do better.
We must do better. We cant let the message be out there that America will let this fraud go.
Want to do something about all of this? Tiffany Banks and Darin Southam forwarded me a list of people you can contact who are in the November 9, 2012 3:12 PM comment below.
Did you know voters can request a recount in certain states? (Ohio, Virginia, Florida, Wisconsin!) Take a look at the comment by @RightonMainSt dated November 9, 2012 11:45 PM below for instructions! Mitt will have to ask in Colorado himself. (Yes, you Mitt!)
It has also been suggested that we ask Republican Secretaries of State NOT to certify the election until all questions about voter fraud are abated.
Some people think this may provoke a crisis, but it cant be worse than the one we are looking at for the next four years and the impact on generations to come!
America NEEDS Mitt, and Mitt won fair and square. This was not a ballot stuffing competition but an election. Lets make sure its counted that way!
Thank you all. Over 7,500 people have visited this page in the first 24 hours and I hope millions will see it eventually. Please pass it on! We can do this! (Yes we can!)

We must act NOW.
Start with the election. If we let the Rats get away with this massive voter fraud, we're no better than a bananna republic.
We must keep digging and pounding him every day, in every way we can- phony birth certificate, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, his hidden life, records....
Agree, based on the comments on many blogs: why wasn't it 100% for Obama? Must be some of them just like to be called muzzies, ragheads, whatever.
I have my nails done at a typical Vietnamese owned salon. On my last appt, which was on election day, a young man did my nails. He bravely started talking politics to me, said he was a Christian and would have to vote for Romney. (I didn't get if he was a registered voter or not). He also said he lived in a low-income neighborhood and couldn't understand why some of the minorities that also lived there didn't work. He said they all appeared strong and able-bodied, why weren't they working? We had a nice talk and he spoke pretty clear english, much better than most of the salon employees. I left him a sizeable tip.
well does that mean that asians are voting for Obama to support communism?
well does that mean that asians are voting for Obama to support communism? Or is this all about race?
Asians, another Dem manufactured victim group, are Democrats because the Dem Party has made itself the party of immigrants and minorities. It is almost tribal and has less to do with economics and self-interest than it has to do with tribal politics in a society that trumpets multiculturalism and diversity.
Norwegian-Americans broke huge for Obama. I live in a part of the country (western Wisconsin and SE Minnesota, NE Iowa, NW Illinois) with large populations of Norwegian-Americans. I have them for in-laws. If you look at a map of the counties in the four state area that are connected, it's solid blue. A writer for the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel noticed that as well. The conclusion: Norwegian-Americans love socialism. Sorry to break the news, I'm part (1%) Norwegian as well.
When your goal is to take alter demographics in order to diminish the voting impact of another group - that is racist, and this is precisely what has been happening. Thank Ted Kennedy.
At this point, IMHO, I think our side (and I don't mean just whites, but those who believe in classic American principles) needs to start having as many babies as possible. Don't worry too much about paying for them. The left doesn't. We should also consider adopting. Obviously I would only suggest this if the children are going to be your focus, and they will be given all the love they deserve.
I also think those of us who run businesses that use people from abroad should direct their hiring to those who are more likely to aspire to the America we love.
Why are we talking about Asian-Americans and utilizing the term "Asian" (a diverse continent which is nearly 40% Caucasian (India, Pakistan, Middle East, Eastern Russia, Ukraine etc.)) in place of Oriental (Korean, Chinese, Japanese etc.)?
I bet the numbers would be much different if the groups were segregated as they should be.
No group is going to vote conservative, no matter how supposedly conservative their personal values, as long as there exists a racial spoils system in this country for every racial group except whites.
Yes. Successful white liberals are also fairly conservative in their personal lives (see "Coming Apart:The State Of White America, 1960-2010) but they vote rat.
Don't worry about standing on principle, who needs two parties anyway?
I wish Mitt hadn't conceded so soon. Those who take an oath to uphold our laws are crooks who belong in prison.
True, and it is also leading to a one-party system when both sides jettison principle to pander for votes. We are already headed there with such groups as "Log Cabin Republicans" and the repeated push by certain Republicans to pander yet more for the hispanic vote.
Looking at the big picture, I fail to see how Tuesday's elections were anything less than a disaster for conservatism. Sure, we won a few races and ballots here and there but as a whole, Tuesday was a net loss for conservatives and conservative values.
These guys (Akin/Mourdock) were definitely flawed candidates. Heck, in Missouri, Obama lost by 10 points and the state legislature became a supermajority for the R's...and Akin lost by 10. Obama also got crushed in Indiana and Mourdock got beat as well.
As far as Scott Brown goes, well, he lost in a state that Obama WON by like 30 points, so it should come as no surprise. Comparing the Brown loss to Akin/Mourdock is apples to oranges.
One thing the Democrats do much better than Republicans is unify. I don't see near the vitriol for the moderate Dems from the liberal Dems like I see for moderate R's from conservative R's.
"Whites aren't even supposed to recognise that we are an ethnic group"
Correct. Ethnic now means "nonwhite".
It looked like to me that every where you looked, they were chomping at the bit to throw in the towel.
I'd be curious to know the dates their visas were stamped and not at all surprised if these dates were during the Bush Administration while he was rolling out the red carpet to unskilled African immigrants.
It would be considered "ethnic cleansing" if whites were immigrating in overwhelming numbers to any black, brown, or yellow nation and race-replacing the inhabitants. The UN would be calling for measures to stop it. Only in white nations is race-replacement—"ethnic cleansing"—acceptable, even desirable.
Sounds to me like you have a choice to make. Vote democrat or lose because us filthy conservatives aren't going away.
Moderates, nothing but lying, manipulative bottom feeding scum.
You must never have lurked at DU. There are constant calls for the purging of the "centrists" from the party. The DNC is a villian to the "progressives".

Mexico's Glass House

Mexicos Glass House
Articles | January 13, 2009 | Borders
Every country has the right to restrict the quality and quantity of foreign immigrants entering or living within its borders. If American policymakers are looking for legal models on which to base new laws restricting immigration and expelling foreign lawbreakers, they have a handy guide: the Mexican constitution.
Adopted in 1917, the constitution of the United Mexican States borrows heavily from American constitutional and legal principles. It combines those principles with a strong sense nationalism, cultural self-identity, paternalism, and state power. Mexicos constitution contains many provisions to protect the country from foreigners, including foreigners legally resident in the country and even foreign-born people who have become naturalized Mexican citizens. The Mexican constitution segregates immigrants and naturalized citizens from native-born citizens by denying immigrants basic human rights that Mexican immigrants enjoy in the United States.
By making increasing demands that the U.S. not enforce its immigration laws and, indeed, that it liberalize them, Mexico is throwing stones within its own glass house. This paper, the first of a short series on Mexican immigration double standards, examines the Mexican constitutions protections against immigrants, and concludes with some questions about U.S. policy.
In brief, the Mexican Constitution states that:
Immigrants and foreign visitors are banned from public political discourse.
Immigrants and foreigners are denied certain basic property rights.
Immigrants are denied equal employment rights.
Immigrants and naturalized citizens will never be treated as real Mexican citizens.
Immigrants and naturalized citizens are not to be trusted in public service.
Immigrants and naturalized citizens may never become members of the clergy.
Private citizens may make citizens arrests of lawbreakers (i.e., illegal immigrants) and hand them to the authorities.
Immigrants may be expelled from Mexico for any reason and without due process.
The Mexican constitution: Unfriendly to immigrants
The Mexican constitution expressly forbids non-citizens to participate in the countrys political life. Non-citizens are forbidden to participate in demonstrations or express opinions in public about domestic politics. Article 9 states, "only citizens of the Republic may do so to take part in the political affairs of the country." Article 33 is unambiguous: "Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country."
The Mexican constitution denies fundamental property rights to foreigners. If foreigners wish to have certain property rights, they must renounce the protection of their own governments or risk confiscation. Foreigners are forbidden to own land in Mexico within 100 kilometers of land borders or within 50 kilometers of the coast. Article 27 states,
"Only Mexicans by birth or naturalization and Mexican companies have the right to acquire ownership of lands, waters, and their appurtenances, or to obtain concessions for the exploitation of mines or of waters. The State may grant the same right to foreigners, provided they agree before the Ministry of Foreign Relations to consider themselves as nationals in respect to such property, and bind themselves not to invoke the protection of their governments in matters relating thereunto; under penalty, in case of noncompliance with this agreement, of forfeiture of the property acquired to the Nation. Under no circumstances may foreigners acquire direct ownership of lands or waters within a zone of one hundred kilometers along the frontiers and of fifty kilometers along the shores of the country." (Emphasis added)
The Mexican constitution denies equal employment rights to immigrants, even legal ones, in the public sector. Article 32: "Mexicans shall have priority over foreigners under equality of circumstances for all classes of concessions and for all employment, positions, or commissions of the Government in which the status of citizenship is not indispensable. In time of peace no foreigner can serve in the Army nor in the police or public security forces."
The Mexican constitution guarantees that immigrants will never be treated as real Mexican citizens, even if they are legally naturalized. Article 32 bans foreigners, immigrants, and even naturalized citizens of Mexico from serving as military officers, Mexican-flagged ship and airline crew, and chiefs of seaports and airports:
"In order to belong to the National Navy or the Air Force, and to discharge any office or commission, it is required to be a Mexican by birth. This same status is indispensable for captains, pilots, masters, engineers, mechanics, and in general, for all personnel of the crew of any vessel or airship protected by the Mexican merchant flag or insignia. It is also necessary to be Mexican by birth to discharge the position of captain of the port and all services of practique and airport commandant, as well as all functions of customs agent in the Republic."
An immigrant who becomes a naturalized Mexican citizen can be stripped of his Mexican citizenship if he lives again in the country of his origin for more than five years, under Article 37. Mexican-born citizens risk no such loss.
Foreign-born, naturalized Mexican citizens may not become federal lawmakers (Article 55), cabinet secretaries (Article 91) or supreme court justices (Article 95).
The president of Mexico, like the president of the United States, constitutionally must be a citizen by birth, but Article 82 of the Mexican constitution mandates that the presidents parents also be
Mexican-born citizens, thus according secondary status to Mexican-born citizens born of immigrants.
The Mexican constitution forbids immigrants and naturalized citizens to become members of the clergy. Article 130 says, "To practice the ministry of any denomination in the United Mexican States it is necessary to be a Mexican by birth."
The Mexican constitution singles out "undesirable aliens." Article 11 guarantees federal protection against "undesirable aliens resident in the country."
The Mexican constitution provides the right of private individuals to make citizens arrests. flagrante delicto, any person may arrest the offender and his accomplices, turning them over without delay to the nearest authorities." Therefore, the Mexican constitution appears to grant Mexican citizens the right to arrest illegal aliens and hand them over to police for prosecution.
The Mexican constitution states that foreigners may be expelled for any reason and without due process. According to Article 33, "the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action."
Notional policy options
Mexico and the United States have much to learn from one anothers laws and practices on immigration and naturalization. A study of the immigration and citizenship portions of the Mexican constitution leads to a search for new policy options to find a fair and equitable solution to the immigration problem in the United States.
Two contrary options would require reciprocity, while doing the utmost to harmonize U.S.-Mexican relations:
1. Mexico should amend its constitution to guarantee immigrants to Mexico the same rights it demands the United States give to immigrants from Mexico; or
2. The United States should impose the same restrictions on Mexican immigrants that Mexico imposes on American immigrants.
These options are only notional, of course. They are intended only to help push the immigration debate in a more sensible direction. They simply illustrate the hypocrisy of the Mexican governments current immigration demands on the United States as well as the emptiness of most Democrat and Republican proposals for immigration reform.
Mexico certainly has every right to control who enters its borders, and to expel foreigners who break its laws. The Mexican constitution is designed to give the strongest protections possible to the countrys national security. Mexicos internal immigration policy is Mexicos business.
However, since Mexican political leaders from the ruling party and the opposition have been demanding that the United States ignore, alter or abolish its own immigration laws, they have opened their own internal affairs to American scrutiny. The time has come to examine Mexicos own glass house.

This is very interesting. along with an article that stated an ambassador from Mexico is going to work on Mexico's image in the US. If we let other countries walk all over us they will. If we stick up for ourselves for a change their attitude of treating us like push overs may change. Could be all talk we will see:

Funny how so many will treat you the way they really feel, until they find out you really do have what it takes to just crush them.... then it-s all backpeddling.
It's all a matter of perspective.

Mexico-US water issues
Reply #556 on:
May 13, 2016, 08:50:30 AM »
Editor's Note: This is the 15th installment of an occasional series on water scarcity issues around the world.
When determining borders, a river is often the clearest delineation between sovereign nations. But that clarity abruptly ends when countries must decide how to use the water that the river provides. Even managing rivers that do not determine borders, but rather travel through multiple countries, is precarious at best. The Rio Grande, which partly establishes the U.S.-Mexico border, is no exception. It has been and will continue to be vital to economic growth in the region, especially in Mexico, where the river and its tributaries are crucial to supporting new opportunities for manufacturing and energy.
But growing demands and environmental pressures will increase tension over water resources in the coming decades. Unlike the waters of the Colorado River, which originate entirely in the United States, the watershed of the Rio Grande is more evenly split between the United States and Mexico. Although Mexico depends on the water resources far more than the United States does, both nations are vulnerable to increasing water stress, making it difficult for them to meet anticipated water treaty obligations.
Exceptional Management
The Rio Grande is more than just the main river that runs along the Mexican border of Texas, emptying into the Gulf of Mexico. Its upper reaches stretch as far north as Colorado, though the majority of the basin area in the United States lies in New Mexico. Because of a combination of factors such as high evaporation rates in the arid region, diversions for agricultural production in New Mexico and invasive plant species a portion of the Rio Grande effectively dries up before being replenished at its confluence with the Rio Conchos. The Rio Conchos runs entirely through Mexico's territory, beginning in the mountains of Chihuahua and Durango and moving through the Chihuahuan Desert, and it accounts for roughly 14 percent of the Rio Grande's total watershed. On the U.S. side, one of the Rio Grande's primary tributaries, the Pecos River, runs through New Mexico before joining up again with the larger river farther south.
Yet the cooperation between the United States and Mexico over the river systems of the Colorado and the Rio Grande (or Rio Bravo, as it is known in Mexico) is in some ways exceptional by international standards. Treaties signed in the first half of the 20th century clearly dictate the volumes of flow guaranteed to each country, and those agreements have successfully forestalled many past disputes. Specifically, the river's use is governed in two separate sections, with Fort Quitman, Texas, acting as the dividing point for legislation and management.
It was not until the late 19th century that legal disputes over the use of the Rio Grande began. At the time, U.S. courts determined that the country had no legal obligation to deliver any water downstream. A 1906 case, however, determined that roughly 74 million cubic meters per year would be delivered to Mexico from the northwestern parts of the river but stipulated that the amount could be reduced in drought years. There were reductions in roughly a third of the years between 1939 and 2015. In fact, Mexico has not received the full allotment since 2012, and as little as 6 percent of the full amount was delivered in 2013.
Along the southeastern portion of the Rio Grande, downriver from Fort Quitman, the allotments are governed by the 1944 water treaty, which requires Mexico to receive two-thirds of the water from its tributaries and to deliver the remaining third to the United States. These deliveries are somewhat flexible because the amount (just over 430 million cubic meters per year) is tracked in five-year blocks, and one year's deficit can be accounted for in the next year if necessary. Even if a deficit spans the entire five-year block, as was the case for much of the 1990s as well as from 2010 to 2015, it can still be compensated for in the following five-year span. Mexico even made up its accumulated deficit of 325 million cubic meters within the first few months of 2016. Still, the uncertainty over consistent volumes of delivery sometimes leads to calls for political action, especially for consumers in Texas.
In addition to the two countries' shared surface water, Mexico and the United States share about 20 underground aquifers. Though these resources support the populations and economies of the border region, unlike surface water, no international treaty governs their use. Much like surface water, however, there is significant overexploitation and a decline in water quality. Consistent overuse ultimately threatens the viability of the aquifer systems.
Demand Factors
When these agreements were signed in the early 20th century, less was known about the hydrology of the region, and the Rio Grande's limited water resources were likely over-allocated based on above-average yearly flows. Furthermore, demand is growing, not shrinking. Agriculture is the primary consumer of the basin's water, but expanding populations that could reach nearly 20 million people by 2020, the rapid rise of manufacturing capacities in Mexico (following North American Free Trade Agreement) and energy production on both sides all play a role in increasing water stress in the region.
Mexican manufacturing capacity, especially in the automotive sector, may be slowing after having swelled between 2008 and 2014. But buoyed by the increasing number of nearby U.S. consumers, high-end manufacturing will soon determine Mexican economic growth, and water consumption by the sector will only rise.
Manufacturing growth has also propelled the rapid expansion of Mexico's electrical grid and, in turn, the demand for energy: Mexico continues to rehabilitate its energy sector to revive production levels. And while the full benefits of Mexico City's recent energy reforms have yet to be seen, the energy sector will likely increase its water consumption (including for hydraulic fracturing) at sites located in the Rio Grande Basin. Moreover, Mexico will not be the only country drawing from the Rio Grande or aquifers to support energy production. Agriculture is the primary consumer of water in Texas, but the Eagle Ford shale formation crosses the Mexican border, and production on the U.S. side has already increased water use in several river basins over the past decade, a pattern that will likely continue.
All of these factors contribute to current estimates that upper portions of the river will decrease by as much as a third by the end of this century, and lower portions will accumulate a deficit of more than 830 million cubic meters per year. The gap between supply and demand will grow, as will tension along the border. The treaties, signed decades ago, have been sufficient and their terms largely met until now. But overuse of water resources and environmental stress continue to rise, and basin conditions are poised to prevent amiable management of the water system in the long term. Efforts from both the private sector and governments will instead likely focus on implementing technological adaptations, including waterless hydraulic fracturing and water recycling, to mitigate water stress. Nevertheless, dwindling water supplies could hamper manufacturing growth and energy production in the basin, especially for Mexico. Moreover, Mexico's likely failure to meet delivery quotas will only ramp up tensions with the United States in the coming decades.

Now we see how the LEFT will go out to undermine Trump.
During the news conference the mex prez said nothing about the wall.
Later he tweets otherwise.
And of course the Huff post declares Trump a liar.
The LEFt must be out in full fury over this.

@Eliza, & @Maggie Boyd… thanks for your posts; both reflect a calm that I lack at times, when it comes to issues that I think is a "no-brainer."
@clutterconqueror… There's an expression in real estate "10% of Realtors do 90%of the business" So like in any society, there is always going to be a few bad apples that ruin it for those who truly need help. Then again, it's the flawed system that allows the dishonest to take advantage of loop-holes, be they new immigrants or 10th generation Americans/Brits, or Canadians, etc.
I haven't watched the attached videos, and nor will I, but as to the men you mentioned in your post who dared voice that living in a refugee camp has affected their sex life– living apart from their wives…I can well imagine, it does create frustration. When my husband's job takes over our lives, (thrice a year for weeks & weeks at a time) our sex life suffers. And we are both grumpy, because of his hectic schedule.
But why focus on the big bad male? Had a refugee woman been interviewed she, too, would have said something similar…that she missed her husband.. And not just as a breadwinner. Modesty, though, probably would have prevailed and prevented her from stating outright, thT she missed having sex with her husband.
As for taxes….I can only speak to Canada…but any landed, legal immigrant working in Canada pays income tax. And if they want to own their own home, they'll work 2 &3 jobs to scrimp and save, and then they will have to pay property taxes in addition to forking out income tax $ from their paycheques. So, yes, while some bad apples slip through the burecratic cracks, the majority of us immigrants just want a peaceful life, away from the bigotry, intolerance & violence that plagues our country of origin.

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
You'll need a decent Web connection, and you can use it only once, but these are minor quibbles. Simple to use, and with more features than you have any right to expect, Takeaway Website is a winner.
Takeaway Website removes the pain from designing and publishing a site. In truth there's little design involved -- you simply choose from large selections of templates and colours. It's not worth buying the boxed version, as Takeaway Website is browser based. Confusingly the box contains only useful Web utilities such as Firefox and an OnSpeed trial. Simply purchase your activation code from the Mr Site Web site and you can begin.
You'll be asked to key in your preferred domain name, and then the program finds and registers it for you. Our site was online within minutes, although it can take a day or so.
The creative process begins immediately. You select from the myriad colour and template options. As ever with designing Web sites, the biggest danger is over-complication. Fortunately, there are sufficient designs and colour schemes to create a simple, elegant site. You don't have to worry about building a structure for your site, Mr Site does this for you. Create a home page and subsequent pages will link from it. This is a touch limiting, but Takeaway Website is aimed at individuals and businesses who need a good-looking site quickly. Such people will have few complaints.
Inputting text is a cinch. There's a choice of input panes -- the more 'complicated' one has a Word-like toolbar across the top. Inputting links and images is simple, just like using any content-management system.
As with any browser-based tool you'll struggle to upload images if your Web connection's flaky. Oh, and it's a good idea to crop and prepare images before uploading, as the ability to edit within the program is limited. Excellent, easy-to-add back-end extras include guestbooks, photo libraries, MP3 downloads and blogs.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

It's no shocker that filing your own taxes can be a pain in the neck. Whether you're dealing with multiple income sources or tricky tax loopholes, without the proper software, you may feel like jumping ship. Thankfully, what Intuit's TurboTax does best is offer intuitive simpleness. TurboTax firmly anchors itself as the best free online tax software that your money won't have to buy, by offering streamlined income tax preparation and an easy-to-use interface.
TurboTax is known for offering easy-to-understand, step-by-stage instructions that can help even first-time tax filers coughing up their dues to the IRS with unrivaled ease. , though it's not just for beginners TurboTax's simplistic technique produces the most aggressive results on the market, which makes it a true force to become reckoned with.
TurboTax utilizes a guided interface that will not require you to understand complex tax topics to use the program correctly. If you own a home, or if you need to state stock sales benefits or losses, for instance, it will ask you simple questions, such as regardless of whether you have children or dependents. Based on your responses, it can help you determine which version of TurboTax you need to use and which IRS forms are needed, so you can create an accurate return.
Related : Latest Turbotax coupon codes and deals are listed on top coupon site
TurboTax offers a free edition for people interested in tax support and online filing. To use the online software, customers must have at least For example 8, Firefox 3, or Safari 4 (Mac users) for Internet browsing along with Acrobat Reader 7 and Adobe Flash 9.
The free version of this well-known tax software provides some basic suggestions for assisting users in knowing the taxpayer's dependent filing and situation standing. There is also a message table through the Intuit's Stay Community site for extra assistance in planning your taxes.
If you're a single-income earner with few credits or deductions to claim and little in the way of investments or property, Free Edition might be sufficient for your purposes. The program allows you to file IRS Form 1040-EZ immediately and quickly calculates your estimated refund or liability. It sets up a direct-deposit arrangement with the IRS and notifies you when your refund is on its way if you're eligible for a refund. Unfortunately, Free Edition doesn't provide free state tax filing solutions. TurboTax charges $25 to $30 for every conditional tax return filed by using this program but you can get the latest turbo tax coupon code offers from this facebook page they set up .
Free Edition also isn't prepared to handle tax situations that can't be described using Type 1040-EZ. If you own your own home or maintain a sizable investment portfolio, you need to use Freedom Edition. In most cases, this product costs less than $50 per use and offers many of the services that an in-person tax professional typically provides.
Customers of the TurboTax totally free edition will find that some of the common tax forms are not available including Schedule C, Schedule D, Schedule E, and Routine F as they are in other free tax preparation programs. This version also does not have a W-4 calculator as with the paid edition that helps users determine more accurate paycheck withholding information. There are also no areas in the software to enter information about personal-employment earnings or capital gains details.
While the cost to file your federal government return is free, there exists a charge for e-filing your state tax documents. It appears the free filing options might be a wise choice for people who only have to prepare straightforward tax documents. The free version will not be capable of handling any more complicated tax scenarios such as the full, paid edition does or other on the internet tax preparation software program available.
The totally free version does appear to provide assistance and thorough data checks to give filers the peace of mind their tax information is correct when filing simple tax returns but for individuals that should include capital gains information or monetary details of self-employment earnings should seek assistance from an expert tax preparer or upgrade to the full edition of the TurboTax software.
Like all free online tax software, TurboTax comes with its limitations. Generally speaking, you can only document your taxes for free if you're utilizing simple forms like the 1040EZ, 1040A, and 1040. Anything more complicated than that and you will likely have to pony up for the compensated version. Thankfully, TurboTax allows you to start with the free version and simply upgrade if necessary, which makes it a no-brainer to give TurboTax a try this tax season.

The Fantastic World of Cecil Beaton
'Cecil Beaton: The Art of the Scrapbook' tracks the daily life of the great photographer's mind.
In the new photography book Cecil Beaton: The Art of the Scrapbook, there's a black-and-white snapshot, dating to the fifties, of two men playing backgammon outdoors. It's clearly winter, and both are wearing well-cut, fur-collared coats — because, of course, if one is going to play backgammon outdoors in the winter, one ought to dress for it. The photo is simultaneously funny, glamorous, casual, and intriguing — in other words, essentially Beaton.
Beaton captured potent images for a living, getting everyone from the young Queen Elizabeth to the young Mick Jagger in front of his camera, but the new book, edited by James Danziger and published by Assouline, tracks the daily life of the mind behind those portraits. Beaton gathered like a proto-blogger, voraciously cutting and pasting and giving equal consideration to every image that caught his eye, from Roman statues to wartime newspaper reports to every possible angle of his obsession, Greta Garbo.

NOV down ? It can`t be because of Cramer
NOV is falling because they aren't going to be selling much anymore, they have a BOP that is overstated in goodwill value and there are no bundled demand in excess of the sales of the BOP.This ship is toast.
"no bundled demand"really?I thought that NOV has created via its acquisitions a complete suite of equipment choices such that that many companies are standardizing on NOV equipment on their rigs. One source, means simplicity and streamlined processes.NOV makes everything used on rigs, incl the rigs, yes? "The Walmart of the oil patch", i think it has been called.
I guess that's why I have to work so much overtime!
The trend is down.The trend has been down long enough that many holders are underwater.The trend has been long enough that many holders are starting to have L/T capital losses.None of the above encourages people to hold, rather it encourages them to sell.More selling than buying.Prices go down until professionals start to buy but they insist on returns north of 50% L/T.Just my 2c.Not a recommendation. Do your own DD.
Makes sense --So true that we have to wait for major players. Maybe there will be a pop if Fed eases but I don't see them doing it, especially post Greek elections that didn't implode the markets. But then again that is why the markets have been heaving higher the last two weeks including today

It was just announced that Rashad Evans would no longer be fighting Jon Jones due to his hand injury. This has led to Lyoto Machida becoming the new challenger for Jones at UFC 140. Jon Jones has been dominant in the UFC, with no one even coming close to beating him (Hamill doesn't count). But Lyoto Machida is a different type of fighter whose extremely unorthodox karate style can give his opponents fits. And even though Jones will be the heavy favorite, here are five reasons why Machida could win this fight.
5 Reasons Lyoto Machida Can Beat Jon Jones
By Brent Powell ,
Jon Jones is a very elusive fighter, but he is nowhere near Lyoto Machida in this category. Machida is a world-class karate fighter who moves in and out of range like no one else in the division. The only person who has ever been able to counter his style is Shogun Rua (even though Rampage "won" their fight, he definitely took a lot more damage than Lyoto).
Furthermore, Shogun was able to beat Machida because he rushed to the inside and used his knockout power to finish him. From what Jones has shown, his style is more about staying on the outside than rushing in for the kill. Machida's elusiveness could give Jones fits if he decides to try and play the distance game with the Dragon.
When you think of Jones vs. Machida, the last thing that comes to your mind is power. But it should not be overlooked in this fight, as it will play a big factor.
Jon Jones has yet to show that he has that big power to knock someone out with one punch (but we must remember that he is still young and he did rock Rampage in their fight). Machida, on the other hand, has the power to finish Jones. Lyoto has knocked out Rashad Evans, Thiago Silva, and Randy Couture.
If he can sneak a punch through and land it on Jones's chin, Machida could win this fight.
Jon Jones is athletically fast, but Machida is both athletically fast and technically fast. There is a big difference, and it could be the difference in this fight. Jon Jones is able to move and throw punches at a very high speed, which is why he's been able to beat his opponents. But, when looking at his opponents, they've all been pretty slow. Rampage, Shogun, Bader, Hammill, Matsyushenko, and even Vera, are all either slow or have definitely lost a step in their careers.
Machida will not have this big disadvantage. Lyoto has blended his athleticism and his technique together to make himself faster in the octagon, something Jon Jones is still working on (i.e. literally running away from Rampage at times). This could be the deciding factor in their fight.
While Lyoto Machida is known primarily for his striking, he doesn't get enough credit for his grappling. He has one of the best sprawls in MMA and is extremely good at leg sweeps (sorry Thiago).
When you look at Machida's fights in the UFC, the only person who has been able to take him down was Rampage, and even when he got Lyoto to the ground he couldn't do any damage to him. People like Ortiz, Evans, and Couture had no luck whatsoever when trying to get Machida to the ground.
If Jones can't take Machida down, will it swing the momentum of the fight? We'll have to wait and see.
This one could easily be the deciding outcome of the fight. Whose unorthodox fighting style will prevail?
Jon Jones uses spinning elbows, pulls out flying triangles, and throws about every kick imaginable. Lyoto Machida fights unlike anyone else in the UFC, lunging in and out of range with his head held WAY back, making him extremely hard to hit. Not to mention the fact that he just might throw a switch front kick at you. This fight is all about who can deal with the other guys style the best. Whoever does will probably end up getting their hand raised at the end of the fight.
In the end, it still looks bleak for Machida.
Jon Jones has looked unstoppable and absolutely dismantled the two guys who have beaten Machida (Rampage Jackson and Shogun Rua). Machida will have to use the five things that were listed in order to compete with Jones. But the problem is that even if he does, it would still be hard to pick against Jones. But the great thing about MMA is that anything can happen once you step in the cage.

Rescued monkeys to be released back into wild

The Jakarta Post
The Jakarta city administration is set to release dozens of former masked monkeys it rescued last year back into the wild.
Governor Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo said on Thursday that he would personally be releasing the monkeys, most of which were found suffering from tuberculosis and hepatitis and were treated at the Ragunan animal and fish treatment facility in South Jakarta.
'Most of the monkeys were sick. We don't want to endanger the other animals in Ragunan Zoo,' Jokowi told reporters at City Hall on Thursday.
The governor, however, gave his assurances that he would not release the monkeys until they were given a clean bill of health.
'After being declared healthy, the monkeys will be released into the woods. An alternative would be Thousand Islands,' he added.
Jakarta Marine Affairs and Agriculture Agency head Ipih Ruyani said that as many as 67 monkeys of the 83 monkeys it had rescued throughout 2013 were set to be released.
'We will release them on the islands of Tikus, Damar and Bokor [Thousand Islands] once the weather is good,' she said, adding that the remaining 16 monkeys were still receiving treatment for tuberculosis.
Previously, the Ragunan Zoo management had refused to accommodate the rescued monkeys, fearing that they could harm the other animals.
Some people suggested, however, that the monkeys should be exterminated; an idea that was opposed by the governor.
'Why kill monkeys we have saved from the streets?' he said.
Jokowi said he aimed to eradicate the capital of masked monkey dances, which is considered a form of animal abuse, by the end of 2014.
According to the Jakarta Animal Aid Network (JAAN), most monkeys used for these shows were tortured to make them obedient. The monkeys usually lived with their handlers.
Such practices pose health risks for both the monkeys and their handlers, as monkeys with tuberculosis can transmit the disease to humans and vice versa.
JAAN recorded 300 long-tail monkeys were exploited in masked monkey shows in 2012.
