Nan Rich Qualifies For Governor's Race
TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/NSF) – Former state Senate Minority Leader Nan Rich qualified Tuesday to run for governor, cementing a Democratic primary contest against former Gov. Charlie Crist.
Rich issued a statement after qualifying that lumped together Crist with Republican incumbent Gov. Rick Scott.
Crist was a Republican when he was elected governor in 2006 and ran for the U.S. Senate in 2010 as an independent before becoming a Democrat.
"For the past eight years, Republican governors Rick Scott and Charlie Crist and the right-wing Republican leadership in the Legislature have taken Florida down the wrong path," Rich said. "It's time we changed direction. I believe it's time Florida had a genuine progressive governor again. And, this year, I am the only genuine progressive Democrat running."
Crist holds a huge fundraising edge over Rich, who served in the House from 2000 to 2004 and in the Senate from 2004 to 2012. Qualifying for this year's state races started Monday and will end at noon Friday.
Crist and Scott qualified Monday.
The primary will be held Aug. 26.

Northern Lights is renowned for its ability to be grown very easily. The strain's reputation also comes from the fact that it has won competitions such as the Cannabis Cup. The #5 strain was first entered into competition 1989 when several seeds were mailed from the U.S.A. to Amsterdam. The strain quickly dominated the Cannabis Cup, winning in 1989, 1998, and again in 2009. It is a cross of Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa.

Accounting Today visitors: The post about the convicted filmmaker is here.
Taxing employers at high rates? That's OK, they're rich! Pass-through Businesses can Face Marginal Tax Rates over 50 percent in Some States (Kyle Pomerleau, Richard Borean, Tax Policy Blog):
Today, Pass-through businesses pay a significant role in the United States Economy. They account for 95 percent of all businesses, more than 60 percent of all business income, and more than 50 percent of all employment.
Iowa ranks at about the middle, with a 47.2% combined top rate on pass-through income.
When lazy politicians think they can cover their incontinent spending just by sending the bill to the rich guy, they don't tell you that they're talking about leaving your employer that much less money to hire and pay you.
I'm sure they'll be just as forgiving to the rest of us. Accounting Today reports: IRS Rehired Hundreds of Misbehaving Employees with Conduct Problems:
The Internal Revenue Service rehired hundreds of former employees with prior conduct or performance issues, including employees who failed to file their taxes, falsified official forms and misused IRS property, according to a new report.
The report, from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, acknowledged that most rehired employees do not have performance or conduct issues associated with prior IRS employment. However, TIGTA said it identified hundreds of former employees with prior substantiated conduct or performance issues ranging from tax issues, unauthorized access to taxpayer information, leave abuse, falsification of official forms, unacceptable performance, misuse of IRS property, and off-duty misconduct.
I like this "second chance" policy. I hope they roll it out to the rest of us. Robert Wood has more: IRS Rehires Hundreds Of Problem Former Employees.
Conformity update: The Iowa House of Representaties went home for the weekend without approving SF 126. The Iowa Senate approved the bill this week. SF 126 continues through 2014 Iowa's practice of conforming to the extender provisions other than bonus depreciation. This will mean Iowans will be able to claim the $500,000 maximum Section 179 deduction on their state returns. I expect the House to pass it next week.
Tax Pros, the IRS isn't your collection agent. That seems to be the implication of this item sent as an email by the IRS Office of Professional Responsibility to practioners yesterday. It addressed the idea of sending a 1099-C, reporting cancellation of debt income, to deabeats who fail to pay a tax return prep fee:
It is difficult to conceive of a situation in which a tax professional, principally engaged in providing tax services will be an "applicable entity" justifying the use of Form 1099-C to attribute income to an arguably scofflaw client for the nonpayment.
So it's back to old standbys like cyberstalking and prank phone calls, then.*

Clint Stretch, Defining Tax Reform (Tax Anlaysts Blog):
To date, nearly everyone describing tax reform, from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to the White House, has called for "a simpler tax code." Not so the Senate Democrats. When they use the words "tax reform," those words do not mean simplification but do mean many things conservatives would leave out of their own definition, such as progressive taxation.
It is tempting to think that whoever drafted the letter merely forgot simplification, or assumed it to be understood. But the Democrats' proposal to have tax incentives "take into account the varying cost of living differences among States and regions" makes it clear: Simplification is not one of their core values.
Oddly, Mr. Stretch doesn't seem to be a fan of simplification. He spent many years as a lobbyist for a national accounting firm I once worked for, so I suppose that's unsuprising.
TaxProf, The IRS Scandal, Day 638
Howard Gleckman asks, How Will Jeb Bush Turn His Vision of Government into Tax Policy? Maybe by writing letters to his Congressman. It won't be by becoming President, I'm pretty sure.
Peter Reilly has what seems to me an unnatural interest in the tax problems of "young earth creationist" Kent Hovind. In a long piece Peter explains his interest. It's long, but this is worth noting:
Whenever I think about disputes that are really passionate, there is one thing that I never forget. If something really awful were to happen in my community there would be an outpouring of support from people across the country. Many of them would have views that I consider preposterous and dangerous. Regardless, we are still in it together.
I'm still puzzled at the interest in this particular sad case, but Peter comes across as thoughtful and humane all the way through.
Career Corner (?). Ex-Crazy Eddie CFO Now Judging Fellow Criminals on Their Criminal Talents or Lack Thereof (Adrienne Gonzalez, Going Concern), quoting Sam Antar on conviction of New York representative Michael Grimm:
My former bosses running Crazy Eddie would never have let an amateur like Grimm participate in our tax-evasion schemes! If you are to engage in any scheme to skim money and evade taxes, there is one golden rule: Never leave an audit trail.
Michael Grimm left behind a body of evidence in the most convenient places for the federal investigators to help bury him.
We discussed that very issue in our discussion of the Arrow Trucking tax plea yesterday. I hate to think I'm starting to think like Mr. Antar.

Giants sign CB Webster to 5-year, $43M extension
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Corey Webster, who has developed into one the NFL's top cornerbacks over the past year, signed a five-year, $43 million contract extension with the New York Giants on Monday.
"Corey has been a outstanding person and player in his short career for the Giants," general manager Jerry Reese said. "We are very happy to get this deal done."
Webster has started every game at right cornerback this season. He has three interceptions, tied with fellow cornerback Aaron Ross for the team lead. He also has two forced fumbles.
"He really came into his own the latter part of last year, and that has carried over into the 2008 season, where he has shown that he is one of the top corners in the league," Reese said Sunday evening.
Webster was the Giants' second-round draft choice in 2005, the 43rd overall selection. After being benched early in the year, he moved into the starting lineup for the playoffs when Sam Madison suffered a sports hernia.
Webster held Tampa Bay's Joey Galloway to one catch in the NFC wild-card game. A week later, he had five tackles, broke up a pass and helped limit Dallas to 182 yards passing in the divisional playoff.
Webster set up the Giants' overtime victory in the NFC title game when he intercepted Brett Favre in Green Bay. In the Super Bowl, he helped limit Randy Moss to five catches.

Warc predicts 3.1% growth for UK ad market
By Daniel Farey-Jones, campaignlive.co.uk, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 10:00AM
Marketing intelligence service Warc has produced a consensus forecast of 3.1% for this year's growth in UK adspend.
The last consensus forecast from Warc in August predicted 4.5% growth. The consensus forecast is based on a weighted average of adspend predictions at current prices from ad agencies, media monitoring companies, analysts, Warc's own team and other industry bodies.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Shakespeare's Globe aims to tour 'Hamlet' to every country in the world
LONDON - Shakespeare's Globe theatre is about to take the Bard's words literally — "All the world's a stage."
The London theatre announced Tuesday that it plans to tour a production of "Hamlet" to every country in the world, some 205 nations and territories in all.
The small-scale production, performed by a cast of eight, will tour the world between April 2014 and April 23, 2016 — the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death.
"By train, coach, plane and boat, we aim to take this wonderful, iconic, multifarious play to as many fresh ears as we possibly can," said artistic director Dominic Dromgoole.
The target of 205 nations and territories could vary a little, and exactly what constitutes a country is in some cases contested. The United Nations has 193 member states, while there were 204 teams in the London Olympics.
"We are aware that it is insanely ambitious," said Globe spokeswoman Emma Draper. But she said the company — and the British Council, a government-backed agency that will support the tour — believed it was possible.
Venues have yet to be determined, but will include Helsingor in Denmark — also known as Elsinore, where Shakespeare's tragedy is set — and Kenya's Rift Valley. The tour will start and end at Shakespeare's Globe, a replica Elizabethan playhouse on the south bank of the River Thames in London.
The tour is the flipside of last year's Globe to Globe festival, which brought troupes from around the world to London to perform Shakespeare's plays in 37 languages.
Theater director Peter Brook said "Hamlet" was "the most all-encompassing" and universal of Shakespeare's plays.
"The six simplest words in the English language are 'to be or not to be,'" he said. "There is hardly a corner of the planet where these words have not been translated.
"To take 'Hamlet' in its original language around the world is a bold and dynamic project," he said.

Provided by Entangled Teen
"PERFECTED," by Kate Jarvik Birch, Entangled Teen, $16.99, 284 pages (f) (ages 14 and up)
Ella (or No. 7 as she's been known thus far in her life) is a beautiful, young pet in "Perfected," bred and raised in a kind of human puppy mill where girls are selectively created, raised, taught proper etiquette and made to perfect skills they can show off at parties.
She's sold at 16 to the congressman who fought to make this type of pet ownership legal in his state, and she comes to live with his family in wealth and elegance.
It should be a paradise for her, but the congressman's wife doesn't approve. He's kind of a lech. The oldest son seems to dislike her, the oldest daughter is jealous and the youngest daughter treats her like a favorite toy.
Ella has to try and make sense of the world she's entered and the things she's been taught to expect by the harsh mistress at her school.
But she wasn't taught to expect the complications that arise.
She can't read, and most of what she encounters is foreign, much like how it would be for an alien to suddenly come into Earth life. On every turn, she meets a surprise.
Ella is unprepared for the advances of men and afraid to strike out on her own to avoid them.
She falls in love with a gorgeous, kind young man who's attracted to her innocence and guilelessness. She's kidnapped by a well-meaning neighbor.
She's scheduled for a kind of spaying procedure after she "runs away" a second time.
The result is a story that's both too light and yet sobering.
"Perfected" has an interesting premise and has some dimensions of slavery, a concept that is hard to believe would work in a modern society.
However, in this day and age of dystopian stories, it's plausible as a good read just to see where it goes.
"Perfected" doesn't include any swearing. Although there's no described sex, there are threats of sexual harm and sexual advances. And there is also an attraction that turns into a relationship between Ella and a young man, and it's implied that relationship goes beyond kissing. It doesn't include any described violence.
Despite the indignities of a character being a pet, there's basic human kindness along the way to help balance out the premise.

Chinese Mexican Food in the US/Mexico Border Region
Photo of Chinese Restaurant in Mexicali courtesy of Wikipedia
Guess what very popular kind of food is available in Mexico along the border with the United States? Chinese food! Check out this KQED radio report.
If one asks people in Mexicali, Mexico, just across the border from Calexico in the Imperial Valley of California, about their most notable regional cuisine, they won't say street tacos or mole. They'll say Chinese food. There are as many as 200 Chinese restaurants in the city. North of the border, in Imperial County, the population is mostly Latino, but Chinese restaurants are packed. There are dishes in this region you won't find anywhere else, and a history behind them that goes back more than 130 years.
There's a specific legal reason for all of this, according to Professor Robert Chao Romero, author of The Chinese in Mexico, 1882-1940 (2010) "The restaurants you see now are remnants of the Chinese population that used to fill the U.S./Mexico borderlands in Mexicali and in Baja California," he says. Romero teaches in both the Chicano Studies and Asian American Studies departments at UCLA. "The Chinese started to go to Mexico after the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed in the United States," he says. Many Chinese immigrants later came to the United States.

Dairy Farmers Suffer Due to Congressional Failure to Pass Immigration Reform
Tina Susman reports in the Los Angeles Times on the complaints of dairy farmers about how the the current immigration laws makes it hard to get workers.
Mike McMahon's Latino employees need to go to the bank, the pharmacy or the grocery store, he makes sure someone drives them to town, waits while they run errands, and then brings them safely back to his dairy farm. The risk of deportation of dairy workers is a risk that dairy farmers in this agricultural region have faced for years, but it is hitting them harder as immigration reform languishes in Washington and the nation's demand for milk-heavy products like Greek yogurt soars.
"It's just crazy," said McMahon, who has several hundred cows at his farm more than 200 miles north of New York City. "I'm a lifelong Republican," he said, shaking his head. "But I'm telling you, there are days when I think about switching."
Most people think of border and immigration issues as happening in the Southwest, but it's a real across the entire country. Locals won't do the dirty, manual jobs, farmers say, and immigration laws limit farmers to importing only seasonal agricultural employees. That does not help dairy farmers, who need year-round workers. "The nation's food system is at risk if we can't get this fixed," McMahon said.
Last month, Dean Norton, a dairy farmer who is president of the New York Farm Bureau, traveled to Washington to argue for reform, including a guest-worker program catering to dairy farmers.

Immigration Article of the Day: Remote Adjudication in Immigration by Ingrid V. Eagly
Remote Adjudication in Immigration by Ingrid V. Eagly, UCLA School of Law; University of Oxford - Border Criminologies March 19, 2015 Northwestern University Law Review, Vol. 109, No. 4, 2015, Forthcoming UCLA School of Law Research Paper No. 15-09
Abstract: Increased reliance on televideo technology is a central challenge to the legitimacy of modern courts. Supporters view televised adjudication as an essential tool that has no negative effect on judicial decisionmaking, whereas critics urge that it unfairly biases judges against litigants who must pursue claims over a television screen. What has gone unnoticed in this judge-focused discourse is the potential for remote adjudication to discourage litigant participation in the adversarial process. This Article is the first large-scale, empirical analysis of the consequences of televideo on judges, lawyers, and litigants in immigration cases. Based on a natural experiment with televideo adjudication in the federal immigration courts, it reveals an outcome paradox: detained televideo litigants are more likely than detained in-person litigants to be deported, but not because judges unfairly disadvantage televideo cases at trial. Instead, these inferior results occur because detained litigants assigned to televideo courts exhibit depressed engagement with the adversarial process — they are less likely to retain counsel, to apply to remain lawfully in the United States, or to seek an immigration benefit known as voluntary departure.
Drawing on interviews of stakeholders and court observations from the highest-volume detained immigration courts in the country, this Article advances several explanations for why televideo litigants are less likely than other litigants to take advantage of procedures that could help them. These include: (1) litigants' perception that televideo is unfair and illegitimate; (2) technical challenges in litigating claims over a television screen; and (3) the literal barrier that remote adjudication places between the immigrant respondent and other courtroom actors. These findings invite reexamination of the conventional judge-focused theories about remote adjudication and begin an important conversation about technology's threat to meaningful litigant participation in the adversarial process.

On the Meaning of "Natural Born Citizen"
In response to murmurings about Senator Ted Cruz's candidacy for President (Cruz was born in Canada to a U.S. citizen mother), Neal Katyal and Paul Clement in the Harvard Law Review Forum have this to say about the U.S. Constitution's "natural born Citizen" requirement for the Presidency:
"There are plenty of serious issues to debate in the upcoming presidential election cycle. The less time spent dealing with specious objections to candidate eligibility, the better. Fortunately, the Constitution is refreshingly clear on these eligibility issues. To serve, an individual must be at least thirty-five years old and a "natural born Citizen." Thirty-four and a half is not enough and, for better or worse, a naturalized citizen cannot serve. But as Congress has recognized since the Founding, a person born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent is generally a U.S. citizen from birth with no need for naturalization. And the phrase "natural born Citizen" in the Constitution encompasses all such citizens from birth. Thus, an individual born to a U.S. citizen parent — whether in California or Canada or the Canal Zone — is a U.S. citizen from birth and is fully eligible to serve as President if the people so choose."

In the hunt to be the 2016 GOP pick, top contenders agree on 1 thing: Guns
As we have seen on ImmigrationProf, the GOP presidential hopefuls cannot agree on immigration reform. This Washington Post article reports that the candidates do agree on guns:
"Some of them have been building their collections since childhood. Sen. Lindsey O.

Marco Rubio (Fla.) bought a .357 magnum revolver in 2010, the year he ran for Senate, saying the gun was for protection.

EU Policies on Mixed Migration Flows in the Mediterranean Sea
ImmigrationProf recently reported on efforts to save migrants making the journey to Africa on the Mediterranean Sea. This report, EU Policies on Mixed Migration Flows in the Mediterranean Sea by Julia Gour, considers the tragic deaths of over 300 people off the coast of Lampedusa in 2013 and many other incidents involving migrants from Middle East and North Africa (MENA) crossing the Mediterranean in order to seek refuge in Europe. The deaths have led to a debate in the European Union on asylum policies and how to deal with irregular migration. However, no concrete policy has been agreed since the tragic events at Lampedusa in 2013 and continuous crossings that have resulted in many more deaths.
This background brief provides an overview of the existing EU policies on asylum seekers and in addressing irregular migration and some of the actions which the relevant Member States take when confronted with continuous flows of irregular migrants. This brief concludes that the EU should delink the rescue of irregular migrants from security concerns, provide a legal basis which offers protection to irregular migrants, and create a transparent working environment in which member states are better able to support each other when dealing with such events.

From the Bookshelves: Beyond Deportation: The Role of Prosecutorial Discretion in Immigration Cases by Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia
Beyond Deportation: The Role of Prosecutorial Discretion in Immigration Cases by Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia (NYU Press, 2015)
When Beatles star John Lennon faced deportation from the U.S. in the 1970s, his lawyer Leon Wildes made a groundbreaking argument. He argued that Lennon should be granted "nonpriority" status pursuant to INS's (now DHS's) policy of prosecutorial discretion. In U.S. immigration law, the agency exercises prosecutorial discretion favorably when it refrains from enforcing the full scope of immigration law. A prosecutorial discretion grant is important to an agency seeking to focus its priorities on the "truly dangerous" in order to conserve resources and to bring compassion into immigration enforcement. The Lennon case marked the first moment that the immigration agency's prosecutorial discretion policy became public knowledge. Today, the concept of prosecutorial discretion is more widely known in light of the Obama Administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA program, a record number of deportations and a stalemate in Congress to move immigration reform.
Beyond Deportation is the first book to comprehensively describe the history, theory, and application of prosecutorial discretion in immigration law. It provides a rich history of the role of prosecutorial discretion in the immigration system and unveils the powerful role it plays in protecting individuals from deportation and saving the government resources. Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia draws on her years of experience as an immigration attorney, policy leader, and law professor to advocate for a bolder standard on prosecutorial discretion, greater mechanisms for accountability when such standards are ignored, improved transparency about the cases involving prosecutorial discretion, and recognition of "deferred action" in the law as a formal benefit.

Migration Controls and Travel from the US to Mexico City (One Hour in Migration and Customs Each Way)
Welcome to Mexico City! Poster as I approached the immigration check after a flight from SFO to Mexico City
Given what I know about immigration law and enforcement, I find it interesting to travel internationally and experience immigration controls firsthand. This week, I made a trip to Mexico City for an immigration conference and had some fun.
Having grown up in Southern California, I have traveled to Mexico for years, often on short vacations to the beaches in Baja California. Travel to Mexico from the United States for U.S. citizens has changed significantly in recent years, with U.S. citizens now required to present passports upon return to the United States. It goes without saying that migration controls are tighter on both sides of the border than they once were.
Outside of the migration controls, there have been changes in how one thinks of trips to Mexico. Namely, safety is a concern. The U.S. Department of State issued its most recent a travel advisory in December 2014, warning of crime (including kidnappings) in certain parts of Mexico. (I must say that, during my short stay, Mexico City seemed as safe as any other metropolis that I had visited in recent years; the police on the streets and roads appeared very well-armed).
As the sign pictured above indicates, Mexico, like many other nations (including the United States), has taken steps to stop the spread of the Ebola virus and calm public fears. I am not sure if any sign that has "EBOLA" in capitals will calm anyone, however.
The Mexican immigration and customs officials were efficient and respectful. It was a relatively quick and easy entry. I had to fill out a couple of forms, one for immigration purposes, the other for customs. I must say that I was less worried about the encounter than I was on trips to Germany and China (perhaps because I can speak a tad bit of Spanish and effectively no German or any dialect of Chinese). The overall time for the inspection was less than an hour, with most of the time waiting in line with other travelers.
The return to the United States was uneventful enough. Respectful and professional, if not warm and friendly, are words that best describe the U.S. immigration and customs officers. The immigration check was a matter of seconds and I was waved through customs. Overall, I cleared immigration and customs in about one half hour, with relatively short waits in line with other U.S. citizens.
The most challenging part of the entire trip was not immigration, customs, or the airports. Rather, it was dealing with the traffic gridlock in Mexico City, which makes traffic in my hometown of Los Angeles truly look like a picnic. Traffic jam doesn't quite capture the scene of clogged cars at a standstill in Mexico City streets and roads. A trip from the airport to UNAM at around 7 in the evening took about 2 hours; it took 1.5 hours on the way back to the airport in the morning.
In any event, the trip was well worth the amazing immigration conference at UNAM.

Wisconsin Governor Accused of Flip Flop on "Amnesty"
Presidential campaigns are always fun to watch. It is early in the 2016 campaign but it seems that Republican presidential hopefuls continue to muddle through attempts to come up with a coherent and consistent position on immigration reform. Yesterday, ImmigrationProf noted that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie had entered the immigration fray in Texas v. United States on the side of the states challenging the Obama administration's expanded deferred action program.
AP now reports that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, already accused of flip flopping on his views on immigration reform, now has stepped in it again. Walker has opposed any "amnesty" for undocumented immigrants. In a closed meeting with New Hampshire Republicans, Walker reportedly supported a path to legalization but not a path to citizenship. Walker later emphasized that he does not in any way endorse a "path to citizenship" for undocumented immigrants.

European Union and the Geopolitics of Migration
Is the European Union, which permits labor migration among the member nations, a possible model for future immigration? Commentators have suggested that possibility since the North American Free Trade Agreement went into effect in 1994.
This paper charts the challenges facing the EU in the field of migration, and suggests how Brussels might promote its own form of order. For twenty years now, Europeans have been encouraged to view migration as the epitome of globalisation, the triumph of global economic drive over territorial order. Read the paper European Union and the Geopolitics of Migration for details.
Roderick Parkes, the author, is a research fellow at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs (UI) where he is working on immigration policy. He is also a senior fellow (non-resident) of the German Institute of International and Security Affairs (SWP) and the Polish Institute of International Affairs (PISM). In 2014, he co-authored the European Global Strategy.

Immigration Article of the Day: "States and Status: A Study of Geographical Disparities for Immigrant Youth" by Laila Hlass
"States and Status: A Study of Geographical Disparities for Immigrant Youth" by Laila Hlass, Boston University School of Law, November 8, 2014 Columbia Human Rights Law Review, Vol. 46, No. 266, 2014
ABSTRACT: This article looks at the legal and practical challenges arising out of a particular immigration protection for abandoned, abused, and neglected child migrants called "Special Immigrant Juvenile Status" (SIJS). This benefit, which is a pathway to legal permanent residence and citizenship, is the only area within federal immigration law that requires a state court to take action in order for immigration authorities to consider an individual's eligibility for relief.
Using an original data set of roughly 12,000 SIJS applications from the Department of Homeland Security in June 2013, this article describes trends over time and by state regarding the number of SIJS applicants. After considering population differences, the article examines application disparities among states and identify a subset of seven particularly high- and low-application states, as well as states that have had significant increases in the number of applications. The article discusses how factors such as states' family laws, child welfare policies, and specialized legal resources may affect the ability of potential SIJS applicants to access protection. Ultimately, this article proposes a variety of reforms that seek to improve the law: increasing the screening of potentially eligible children, ensuring that these children have access to counsel, and creating a federal safeguard to address disparities created by differences in states' laws.

Live Blog from UNAM International Immigration Conference
UC Davis Delegation: Cruz Reynoso, Beth Greenwood, Leticia Saucedo, Kevin Johnson
I will be blogging live today from an immigration conference at UNAM in Mexico City. Stay tuned!
After a welcome from the three cosponsoring law school (UNAM, Monterrey Tech, UC Davis) deans, the first panel (Overview, History and Culture of Immigration) offered an excellent foundation for the day. Professor Nicolas Foucras (Monterrey Tech) talked about migration as a reflection of global economic pressures. I offered an overview of contemporary U.S. immigration law. Professor Gabriela de la Paz (Monterrey Tech) discussed the implementation of U.S. immigration policies in the Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations based on her interviews with U.S. immigration enforcement officers in the border region, including McAllen and Laredo, Texas).
The second panel (Undocumented Immigrants in the US: Impact, Challenges and Enforcement) began with Professor Leticia Saucedo talked about the history of U.S. immigration law resulting in the emergence in the modern undocumented immigrant population in the United States. She also documented the record-setting removals of immigrants from the United States during the Obama administration. Offering a personal as well as historical account, Professor Cruz Reynoso provided thoughts on the challenges facing undocumented immigrants in the United States and offered his opinions on the various immigration policies of the Obama administration (including the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program). Professor Gregory Hicks ended the panel with a discussion of the common environmental dangers faced by immigrants in agricultural work far from the border, with a focus on California.
Panel 3 (Impact of the Immigration Laws on the Individual) began with Professor Mariana Gabarrot (Monterrey Tech) looked at transnational space and family and considered exclusion in education and health opportunities for, as well as the prevalence of poverty among, migrants in the United States. Professor Gerry Andrianopoulus (Monterrey Tech) discussed national security considerations in the U.S. immigration debate and reviewed public opinion polls showing less concern today than a few years ago with border security; he also analyzed the politics that led to the border fence (or border wall if you are against it).. Dean Maria Leoba Castaneda Rivas (UNAM) discussed humanitarian legal assistance for immigrants. Professor Leticia Saucedo (UC Davis) looked at the impacts of U.S. immigration laws on the employment of Mexican citizens and offered insights based on interviews of Mexican immigrant workers.
Panel 4 considered future immigration policies. Professor Victor Hugo Perez Hernandez (UNAM) offered an insightful Mexican perspective on DACA and the new DAPA as well as the Obama administration's immigration record. I concluded the panel with a review of possible immigration reforms and a possible regional approach to migration in North America modeled after the European Union.
The discussions were rich and everyone literally was on the same page as English talks were translated into Spanish for the native Spanish speakers and Spanish talks were translated into English for the native English speakers. The question and answer sessions after each panel were particularly illuminating, with a rich exchange of ideas from a variety of national and disciplinary perspectives.
Much thanks to Dean Maria Loeba Castaneda Rivas, Dean of UNAM, for her gracious hospitality and ensuring that all participants were treated like royalty. Thanks also to Dean Gabriel Cavazos, Monterrey Tech, for cosponsoring the event and ensuring that it was successful. Beth Greenwood, Executive Director of International Programs (UC Davis School of Law), and Concha Romero, both were instrumental in making the event a successful international collaboration on one of the most pressing public policy issues of our time.
Here is a picture of the participants.

New Jersey Sides with Texas, Other States in Texas v. United States
With Presidential ambitions, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has decided to have his state join Texas and 25 others in challenging the Obama administration's expanded deferred action program. In a brief filed earlier this week in the Fifth Circuit, New Jersey and other states have opposed the stay sought by the U.S. government of the preliminary injunction entered by the district court. Click here and here for articles reporting on this latest development. A group known as New Jersey Youth for Immigrant Liberation has condemned Govrnor Christie's actions. New Jersey previously had not taken a stand in the Texas v. United States litigation.

OIG Release about Mayorkas and EB-5 Visas Sparks Concern
DHS Dep. Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas
Yesterday, the Office of Inspector General released the following statement:
The Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General has concluded its investigation into allegations that former USCIS Director Alejandro Mayorkas exerted improper influence in the normal processing and adjudication of EB-5 immigration program benefits.
In three matters pending before USCIS, Mr. Mayorkas, now Deputy Secretary of DHS, communicated with stakeholders on substantive issues outside of the normal adjudicatory process, and intervened with the career USCIS staff in ways that benefited the stakeholders. Mr. Mayorkas' conduct led many USCIS employees to reasonably believe that specific individuals or groups were being given special access or consideration in the EB-5 program.
An extraordinary number of DHS employees came forward to the Inspector General's office to report these events and cooperate with our investigation. The OIG will protect the confidentiality of these courageous employees, and we hope that their actions will set an example for all potential whistleblowers that look to the Office of Inspector General to give them a voice.
Congressional lawmakers are not pleased. Representative McCaul (R-TX) has indicated that he will hold hearings tomorrow and may investigate further.

Top 10 Countries Sending International Students to the United States
According to the latest data, 76 percent of all international students were from Asia. The top 10 countries of citizenship for international students were:
1. China
2. India
3. South Korea
4. Saudi Arabia
5. Canada
6. Japan
7. Vietnam
8. Taiwan
9. Mexico
"SEVIS by the Numbers," a quarterly report on international students studying in the United States, was released today by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). The report highlights February 2015 data from the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), a Web-based system that includes information about international students, exchange visitors and their dependents while they are in the United States. Users can also visit the Study in the States website to review international student data from "SEVIS by the Numbers" via an interactive mapping tool.
Based on data extracted from SEVIS Feb. 6, 1.13 million international students, using an F (academic) or M (vocational) visa, were enrolled at nearly 8,979 U.S. schools. This marked a 14.18 percent increase in international students when compared to January 2014 data. The number of certified schools remained relatively static, increasing just more than one percent, during the same time period. Seventy-six percent of all international students were from Asia.

Saving Migrants In The Mediterranean
ImmigrationProf has reported in the past about the death of migrants en route to Europe (as well as those seeking to cross the southern border into the United States). NPR offers the latest on this worldwide humanitarian story.
Christopher Catrambone, a businessman from Lake Charles, Louisiana, and his Italian wife Regina invested about $8 million of their money to buy a ship and hire a crew to save lives on the Mediterranean Sea. Record numbers of people from the Middle East and Africa are crossing waters to try to get to Europe. And human rights groups say European countries don't do enough to rescue them when they run into trouble at sea.
The millionaire husband-and-wife team decided to take on the task during a yacht cruise in the Mediterranean.The catalyst came when Regina saw a jacket in the water during the cruise. She asked about it and was told it might belong to a dead migrant who was trying to find safety in Europe. And that was that. They founded the Migrant Offshore Aid Station, which began operations last year. "We're the only game in town at the moment," Christopher Catrambone says.
In just 60 days, they saved about 3,000 of migrants crossing the sea in rickety wooden boats or dinghies. They then coordinated with Italy and Malta in bringing the migrants to shore.
Last year, a record of about 218,000 people made this journey. Some 3,500 drowned. The numbers are growing. Amnesty International says rates of those crossing are 50 percent higher than last year and hundreds have drowned already this year.

Reply to David Sexton Thanks a lot David for your comment, I totally agree with your concern of the fact that there are many PIs who have no idea of what it takes for bioinformaticians to do their work.Nevertheless, even if more bioinformaticians are hired, will unsavvy PIs ever understand what it takes for a bioinformatics pipeline or anaysis ever to be carried out?
The Command Line Is More Effective for Reproducibility and Re-Use An awkward command line interface (CLI) can surely be a pain, but fixing or mitigating that is very easy, compared to dealing with a program that can only be used interactively via a GUI. Many CLI based programs have had a more "user friendly" interface wrapped around them, e.g. the PHYLIP [1] programs have been wrapped for EMBOSS [2] in EMBASSY, and in turn there are various GUIs for EMBOSS; and Galaxy [3] provides a framework for wrapping a web interface around any tool that can be driven non-interactively. From this perspective, any CLI is much more conducive to re-use than a GUI that is the only way to use a program.Perhaps even more importantly, GUI only programs often don't keep a log of the input users provide interactively, and tend to allow users to manipulate data ad hoc. In doing so, they promote violation of the "Ten Simple Rules for Reproducible Computational Research" [4].For these reasons I think that anyone who provides a CLI at all isn't trying hard enough to not be a bioinformatician. [1] http://evolution.genetics.washington.edu/phylip.html[2] http://emboss.sourceforge.net/[3] http://galaxyproject.org/[4] Sandve GK, Nekrutenko A, Taylor J, Hovig E (2013) Ten Simple Rules for Reproducible Computational Research. PLoS Comput Biol 9(10): e1003285. doi:10.1371/journal.pcbi.1003285
I agree, but.......... I agree with most of what you are saying, but many of the issues around code reuse and documentation are a problem of time. There are too few bioinformatician hired, the key word is hired, at most institutions. This means that most bioinformaticians are seriously over committed and are looking for easy (cheap) ways to complete work before they are yelled at by the PI. PIs do not understand software development AT ALL and if you do not have someone who can stand up and explain it, then these issues will continue. I can't tell you how many times I have heard "What do you mean that you need 4 weeks to properly analyze that data? I have the paper going out in 2 weeks" or "How can it take 6 months to develop a pipeline? I could get a grad student to do it in 2 weeks." The other refrain I hear is "It costs that much? I could add 1000 samples to my experiment for that amount of money." Sorry but you should have talked to me before writing the grant. Bioinformaticians and biologists share in the problems here.

Food Stamps Recipients Increased 11,133 Per Day In Obama's First Term
One way to mark the legacy of a presidency is to tally statistics and at least one stat is not very flattering for this president: Americans on food stamps have grown by 11,133 every day during his first term.
In 2009, when Obama took office, recipients of SNAP, the Supplemental Assistance Nutrition Program, stood at 31,939,110 but by the end of his first term the latest tally numbered 47,525,329.
That is a growth of 11,133 per day between January of 2009 and October of 2012.
The Congressional Budget office reports that SNAP enrollment increased 70 percent during that period with the food stamp budget growing by $2.7 billion over fiscal year 2011.
Also, it is reported that "SNAP has increased every fiscal year that Obama has been in office. In FY 2009–when SNAP was still known as the "Food Stamp" program–the government spent $55.6 billion."
Then there is the continued flat jobs market made worse by millions of Americans that have just given up looking for work.
As the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports, "The number of Americans age 16 or older who decided not to work or even to seek a job increased by 8,332,000 to a record 88,839,000 in President Barack Obama's first term."
Add the incredible shrinking labor force to the massive rise in food stamp recipients and we have two statistics that reflect badly on Barack Obama's first four years.

Alexisonfire Reveal 10 Year Anniversary Farewell Tour
Due to previous comments from Dallas Green about the band delivering a final farewell tour, speculation about the countdown pointed towards a tour announcement -- which is exactly what they've delivered this morning (August 9).
The band will embark on a worldwide tour, dubbed the "10th Anniversary Farewell Tour," kicking off in London, UK, then hitting up Brazil and Australia, before returning to home soil for a handful of Canadian dates in Edmonton, Calgary, Montreal and Toronto.
Originally hailing from, St. Catharines, ON, Alexisonfire announced that they would be disbanding almost exactly one year ago. Now it seems that their second consecutive night headlining Toronto's Sound Academy on December 27 will be their last show.
"I think that there was a lot of doom and gloom surrounding the last Alexisonfire tour," the band's George Pettit said in a statement. "Now that the dust has settled, and everyone has gone down their separate paths, I think it's important to get proper closure on 10 years and share it with the our fans. After this we can leave Alexis in our rear view and remember it fondly, not as something we had to escape."
On top of the farewell tour, Alexisonfire will deliver a vinyl box set that will package up vinyl LPs of all their studio albums and 7-inches, including, but not limited to, Math Sheet Demos, Crisis b-sides, Insulation Tapes and BBC Sessions. It will also come with a photo book and "other exclusive items," though so far no release date has been set.
See the complete list of tour dates below.
Tour dates:
12/3 London, UK - 02 Academy Brixton
12/7 Sao Paulo, Brazil - Via Funchal
12/11 Sydney, Australia - Hordern Pavillion
12/12 Melbourne, Australia - Festival Hall
