President Obama's Executive Overreach on Immigration
Statement of Chairman Bob Goodlatte:
http://judiciary.house.gov/index.cfm/hearings?Id=A8F500A6-F7DA-4BCD-8C6…
Excerpt:
The Constitution is clear: it is Congress’ duty to write our nation’s laws and, once they are enacted, it is the President’s responsibility to enforce them. Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution requires the President to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.”
President Obama wants a special pathway to citizenship for 11 million unlawful immigrants, and without any assurance that our nation’s immigration laws will be enforced in the future. And he is upset that Congress won’t change America’s immigration laws to his liking. Thus, he has decided to act unconstitutionally under the guise of “prosecutorial discretion.”
While law enforcement agencies do have the inherent power to exercise prosecutorial discretion – the authority as to whether to enforce, or not enforce, the law against particular individuals – this power must be judiciously used. Clinton Administration INS Commissioner Doris Meissner told her agency that prosecutorial discretion “is a powerful tool that must be used responsibly” and that “exercising prosecutorial discretion does not lessen the INS’s commitment to enforce the immigration laws to the best of our ability. It is not an invitation to violate or ignore the law.”
Even President Obama’s DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson has admitted to the Committee that there are limits to the power of prosecutorial discretion and that “there comes a point when something amounts to a wholesale abandonment to enforce a duly enacted constitutional law that is beyond simple prosecutorial discretion.” The Obama Administration has crossed the line from any justifiable use of its authority to a clear violation of his constitutional responsibility to faithfully execute the laws.

House Committee on Homeland Security
Tuesday, December 2, 2014

Open Borders: The Impact of Presidential Amnesty on Border Security
Statement of Chairman Michael McCaul:
http://homeland.house.gov/sites/homeland.house.gov/files/documents/12-0…
Excerpt:
The lax interior enforcement policies adopted by this administration coupled with even the perception of amnesty become a powerful magnet that encourages more illegal immigration. We essentially tell citizens of other countries if you come here, you can stay – don’t worry, we won’t deport you. The reality on the ground is that unless you commit multiple crimes, the chances of your being removed from this country are close to zero.
This year the U.S. Border Patrol apprehended 479,000 individuals along the Southern Border but less than half were deported. Those who remained were given notices to appear before an immigration judge, with a court date years away, and released into the country. We know that the majority will never check back in with authorities.
If we don’t think that message is making its way back to Mexico and Central America, we are simply fooling ourselves. We will see a wave of illegal immigration because of the president’s actions. At its core, the president’s unilateral amnesty plan is deeply unfair to the millions who are waiting in line to become a part of our great nation, and it demonstrates reckless disregard for America's security. We have a formal immigration process for a reason: to promote fairness in allowing people to enter the United States and to keep those who will seek to do us harm outside of our borders.
Sadly, the Department of Homeland Security is unprepared to handle the coming surge that the president’s policies will incite. The Border Patrol’s resources are already strained as immigrants pour across the border, making it difficult to identify smugglers, criminals, and potential terrorists. We need to reform our immigration laws, but we need to do it the right way. And that means starting the process in the lawmaking branch of our government. Congress will address immigration reform. But we need to do so in an intelligent way, and in keeping with the wishes of the American people. The majority of American’s do not agree with the president’s executive actions. They want Congress to find a solution -- one that begins with securing our borders.

Jeh Johnson, Secretary

EU28 Member States granted citizenship to almost 820,000 persons in 2012
Moroccans continue to be main recipients
Eurostat, November 18, 2014
http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/cache/ITY_PUBLIC/3-18112014-AP/EN/3-18…
Excerpt:
Highest number of citizenships granted per 1000 inhabitants in Luxembourg
Three quarters of all persons that acquired an EU28 citizenship in 2012 became citizens of one of the following six Member States: the United Kingdom (193,900 persons, or 23.7% of all citizenships granted in the EU28 in 2012), Germany (114,600 or 14.0%), France (96,100 or 11.7%), Spain (94,100 or 11.5%), Italy (65,400 or 8.0%) and Sweden (50,200 or 6.1%).
When compared with the total population of each Member State, the highest rates of citizenship granted were recorded in Luxembourg (8.7 citizenships granted per 1,000 inhabitants), Ireland (5.5) and Sweden (5.3). On average, 1.6 citizenships were granted per 1,000 inhabitants in the EU28.

Immigration statistics, July to September 2014
U.K. Home Office, November 27, 2014
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/fi…
Excerpt:
Work
There were 6% more work-related visas granted (up 9,535 to 161,585), largely accounted for by higher numbers for skilled workers (Tier 2, +9,912 or +13%), and for Youth mobility and temporary workers (Tier 5, +2,207). The 13% increase in skilled worker (Tier 2) visas granted coincided with a 13% in crease in sponsored applications for skilled work visas. Most of the sponsored skilled work visa applications were for the Information and Communication, Professional, Scientific and Technical Activities, and Financial and Insurance Activities sectors.
Asylum
There were 24,257 asylum applications, an increase of 2% compared with the previous 12 months (23,805), but low relative to the 2002 peak (84,132). The largest numbers of applications were from Eritrean (2,932), Pakistani (2,891), Iranian (1,999) and Syrian (1,802) nationals.
Removals and Voluntary Departures
There were 9% fewer enforced removals from the UK (12,461) compared with the previous 12 months (13,740).
The number of passengers refused entry at port and who subsequently departed has increased by 6% to 15,118; however the long-term trends show levels decreasing since 2004.

Attitudes towards immigrants and immigration, 2014
Greater willingness to receive refugees
Statistics Norway, December 2, 2014
http://www.ssb.no/en/befolkning/statistikker/innvhold/aar/2014-12-02
Excerpt:
More people than before think it should be easier for refugees and asylum seekers to obtain a residence permit in Norway. While only 7 per cent expressed that opinion in 2012 and 2013, the share supporting this view in 2014 has increased to 18 per cent.
Population and population changes, Q3 2014
Statistics Norway, November 14, 2014
http://www.ssb.no/en/befolkning/statistikker/folkendrkv
Excerpt:
Large net migration by Polish, Lithuanian and Syrian citizens
Once again, Poles continued to make up the largest group of those with foreign citizenship who in-migrated to Norway. The Poles constituted as many as the next two largest groups, Swedish and Lithuanian citizens, combined. The fourth largest group in the third quarter was the Syrian citizens, and the biggest change from last year to now was the increase from 150 to 750 in net migration of Syrian citizens. On the other hand, the net migration of Lithuanian citizens in the third quarter was reduced from 1 300 last year to 800 now. The corresponding fall for Poles was from 2 300 to 1 900 and for Somali citizens from 600 to 300. The net migration of 7,300 European citizens constituted 60 per cent of the net migration of those with foreign citizenship.
The 1,200 Swedish citizens once again were the largest group of foreign citizens to leave Norway; twice as many as the 600 Poles. Swedish citizens therefore ended up with a net migration of only 100. The net migration of citizens from the South European countries experiencing high unemployment, such as Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece, remained at the same level, reaching 800, while last year it reached 850.

Equal share of highly educated persons among foreign born and Swedish born persons
Statistics Sweden, November 13, 2014
http://www.scb.se/en_/Finding-statistics/Statistics-by-subject-area/Edu…
Excerpt:
The percentage of highly educated persons with at least three years of post secondary education is equal among Swedish born and foreign born persons, 25 percent. However, a larger share of foreign born persons than Swedish born persons has only compulsory education, 20 and 11 percent respectively.
Foreign born persons have a somewhat lower level of education than those who were born in Sweden. However, the difference with regard to post secondary education is small; 41 percent of Swedish born persons aged 25-64 have post secondary education compared to 39 percent of foreign born persons.
The difference in the level of education among foreign born and Swedish born persons is greater for women than for men. The share with only compulsory education as the highest level of education is greater for foreign born women than for women born in Sweden, 20 and 8 percent respectively, and the share of highly educated persons is lower.
The level of education for persons who immigrated to Sweden varies considerably, depending on which countries these persons have emigrated from. The differences are largely explained by the age structure, the reasons for immigrating to Sweden and the educational structure in the countries from where they emigrated.

Excerpt:
This may be a nation of immigrants (and 82% of the public agree that it is), but the President’s plan for executive action on immigration clearly does not sit well with many Americans. Democrats support the President’s decision to use an executive order to delay deportation proceedings for parents of U.S. citizens, but 51% of independents and 80% of Republicans oppose it.

What America Thinks: Illegal Immigrants and Citizenship
Rasmussen Reports, December 3, 2014
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/what_america_thinks/2014…
Excerpt:
So, perhaps not surprisingly, only 40% of voters approve of the president’s plan to bypass Congress and allow nearly five million illegal immigrants to remain in this country legally and apply for jobs, putting them in the line for citizenship. Half of voters think Obama’s amnesty plan will be bad for the country and will increase the level of illegal immigration.
Voters have strongly insisted for years that getting control of the border to prevent future illegal immigration should come before putting those here illegally on the road to legal status. The president’s new action indicates that he disagrees. But then most voters also have long believed that the policies and practices of the federal government encourage illegal immigration.

Open Immigration: Yea & Nay
By Alex Nowrasteh and Mark Krikorian
Encounter Books, 88 pp.
Paperback, ISBN: 159403821X, $7.99
http://smile.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/159403821X/centerforimmigra
Kindle, 485 KB, ASIN: B00PJ2JUAA, $3.99
Book Description: Open Immigration: Nay by Mark Krikorian
Immigration has always been an important part of America’s story. Over the past century, however, the United States has seen drastic changes – in government spending, the economy, technology, security, and assimilation – and the needs of the nation have changed. Mass immigration is no longer compatible with those needs.
In this Broadside, Mark Krikorian argues that the federal immigration program needs to adjust to the realities of modern America by scaling back the number of newcomers who are allowed to settle in the country. While this doesn’t mean zero immigration, it does mean that we must evaluate and permit only the most compelling cases. What worked in the past will not work today, and our immigration policies must change in response to new circumstances.
Open Immigration: Yea by Alex Nowrasteh
Extensive immigration restrictions are an attempt by the U.S. government to centrally manage the demographics, labor market, and culture of the United States instead of letting those facets of our society develop naturally – as they have throughout most of history. Many objections have been raised against a return to America’s traditional free-immigration policy, but they are without merit and ignore immigration’s tremendous benefits.
In this Broadside, Alex Nowrasteh explains how a policy of open immigration is consistent with America’s founding principles, the ideals of a free society, and the foundation of a free-market economy. Immigration restrictions should be based on protecting the life, liberty, and private property of Americans from those who are most likely to infringe upon them. A freer immigration system would not only be economically beneficial to the United States, but it would also be consistent with American values.

Latino Homicide: Immigration, Violence, and Community
By Ramiro Martinez Jr.
Routledge, 224 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0415536510, $122.52
http://smile.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0415536510/centerforimmigra
Paperback, ISBN: 0415536537, $42.87
http://smile.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0415536537/centerforimmigra
Kindle, 2882KB, ASIN: B00OZLQ3Y2, $36.76
Book Description: Latino Homicide is the first empirically based, but readable book for courses to counter the conventional wisdom that immigrant populations only contribute crime to their communities. For this second edition, Martinez further emphasizes his argument with updated data and the addition of a new city, San Antonio. With fascinating case studies from police reports and actual cases from six varied cities, Latino homicide rates are revealed to be markedly lower than one would expect, given the economic deprivation of these urban areas. Far from dangerous or criminal, these communities often have exceptionally strong social networks precisely because of their shared immigrant experiences. Martinez skillfully refutes negative stereotypes in a coherent and critically rigorous analysis of the issues.

Return to Sender: The Moral Economy of Peru's Migrant Remittances
By Karsten Paerregaard
University of California Press, 336 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0520284739, $58.50
http://smile.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0520284739/centerforimmigra
Paperback, ISBN: 05202847477, $31.46
http://smile.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0520284747/centerforimmigra
Book Description: Return to Sender: The Moral Economy of Peru’s Migrant Remittances is an anthropological account of how Peruvian emigrants raise and remit money and what that means for themselves and for their home communities. The book draws on first-hand ethnographic data from North and South America, Europe, and Japan. It tells how Peruvians remit to relatives at home, collectively raise money for development projects in their regions of origin, and invest in businesses and other activities.
The author, Karsten Paerregaard, challenges unqualified approval of remittances as beneficial resources of development for home communities and important income for home countries. He finds a more complex situation in which remittances can also create dependency and deprivation.

Scotland No More?: Emigration from Scotland in the Twentieth Century
By Marjory Harper
Luath Press Ltd., 224 pp.
Paperback, ISBN: 1908373350, $22.99
http://smile.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1908373350/centerforimmigra
Book Description: Scotland No More? taps into the need we all share -- to know who we are and where we come from. Scots have always been on the move, and from all quarters we are bombarded with evidence of interest in their historical comings and goings. Earlier eras have been well covered, but until now the story of Scotland's twentieth-century diaspora has remained largely untold. Scotland No More? considers the causes and consequences of the phenomenon, scrutinising the exodus and giving free rein to the voices of those at the heart of the story: the emigrants themselves.

A Sociolinguistics of Diaspora: Latino Practices, Identities, and Ideologies
By Rosina Marquez Reiter
Routledge, 218 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0415712998, $118.27
http://smile.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0415712998/centerforimmigra
Kindle, 2977 KB, ASIN: B00PK5JSH6, $100.00
Book Description: his volume brings together scholars in sociolinguistics and the sociology of new media and mobile technologies who are working on different social and communicative aspects of the Latino diaspora. There is new interest in the ways in which migrants negotiate and renegotiate identities through their continued interactions with their own culture back home, in the host country, in similar diaspora elsewhere, and with the various "new" cultures of the receiving country. This collection focuses on two broad political and social contexts: the established Latino communities in urban settings in North America and newer Latin American communities in Europe and the Middle East. It explores the role of migration/diaspora in transforming linguistic practices, ideologies, and identities.

Social Cohesion and Immigration in Europe and North America: Mechanisms, Conditions, and Causality
By Ruud Koopmans, Bram Lancee, and Merlin Schaeffer
Routledge, 254 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 1138024090, $125.37
http://smile.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1138024090/centerforimmigra
Book Description: Concerns about immigration and the rising visibility of minorities have triggered a lively scholarly debate on the consequences of ethnic diversity for trust, cooperation, and other aspects of social cohesion. In this accessibly written volume, leading scholars explore where, when, and why ethnic diversity affects social cohesion by way of analyses covering the major European immigration countries, as well as the United States and Canada. They explore the merits of competing theoretical accounts and give rare insights into the underlying mechanisms through which diversity affects social cohesion. The volume offers a nuanced picture of the topic by explicitly exploring the conditions under which ethnic diversity affects the glue that holds societies together. With its interdisciplinary perspective and contributions by sociologists, political scientists, social psychologists, as well as economists, the book offers the most comprehensive analysis of the link between ethnic diversity and social cohesion that is currently available.

Transit States: Labour, Migration and Citizenship in the Gulf

http://smile.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0745335209/centerforimmigra
Kindle, 972 KB, ASIN: B00P6JR8LE, $17.23
Book Description: The states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Oman and Qatar) form the largest destination for labour migration in the global South. In all of these states, however, the majority of the working population is composed of temporary, migrant workers with no citizenship rights.
The cheap and transitory labour power these workers provide has created the prodigious and extraordinary development boom across the region, and neighbouring countries are almost fully dependent on the labour markets of the Gulf to employ their working populations. For these reasons, the Gulf takes a central place in contemporary debates around migration and labour in the global economy.
This book attempts to bring together and explore these issues. The relationship between 'citizen' and 'non-citizen' holds immense significance for understanding the construction of class, gender, city and state in the Gulf, however too often these questions are occluded in too scholarly or overly-popular accounts of the region. Bringing together experts on the Gulf, Transit States confronts the precarious working conditions of migrants in a accessible, yet in-depth manner.

MIGRANTS, MOSTLY FROM AFRICA, CONTINUE DEADLY MEDITERRANEAN CROSSINGS
IOM’s team providing assistance to migrants arriving in Europe by sea from North Africa and the Middle East recorded another 18 migrants reported missing, and presumed dead this week. The reports came from fellow passengers rescued by commercial and military vessels patrolling increasingly wintery and dangerous Mediterranean routes.
Over 5,100 migrants have arrived in Italy by sea in the last 10 days, rescued by the ships plying waters in the Channel of Sicily in the framework of the Triton and Mare Nostrum operations, which will continue until the end of the year, when the Italian Government said it will end its Mare Nostrum mission (which this month officially changed its name into “Surveillance and Sea Security Mechanism”).
The most recent landings took place in Sicily yesterday (27/11), when rescue ships brought 320 migrants to Augusta and another 182 to Porto Empedocle. Additionally, several hundred migrants arrived in Greece two days ago, when a 77-meter cargo ship reportedly carrying 700 people was towed to safety to Crete by a Greek navy frigate.
The new arrivals – rescued in 13 separate operations – are mostly sub-Saharan Africans from the Gambia, Mali, Senegal, Nigeria and Ghana.

DISPLACED POPULATION IN IRAQ SURPASSES TWO MILLION
IOM’s latest Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) in Iraq, to be released later today, reports that over two million people (a total of 2,004,066) have been internally displaced due to conflict in 2014.
Ninewa has been the governorate with the largest displacement figures, 943,962, and the greatest population loss: 82 per cent of the displaced fled the governorate due to violence over the course of the year. Anbar governorate has suffered the second greatest displacement with 540,732 individuals, 67 per cent of whom are displaced within their own governorate.
The entire Kurdistan Region of Iraq (including the districts of Akre, Al Shikhan, in Ninewa governorate; and Kifri and Khanaqin, in Diyala governorate) hosts the majority of the displaced, 47 per cent of the total displaced populations, an estimated 946,266 individuals.
The central region of Iraq hosts 45 per cent of the total displaced population (an estimated 904,170 individuals). The Southern region hosts approximately 8 per cent of the total (an estimated 153,630 individuals).
Since 1 September, nearly 220,000 people have been displaced due to clashes between Iraqi forces and armed groups in the center and central north governorates (mainly Ninewa, Kirkuk, Anbar, Diyala, and Salah al Din). This figure accounts for 11 per cent of the total displaced.

OECD: ASYLUM-SEEKERS AND MIGRANTS INCREASING IN GERMANY
Migration to Germany has increased for the fourth consecutive year, according to the latest OECD figures. The country also receives the largest number of applications from new asylum-seekers.
. . .
The OECD announced that migration to Germany had increased at a higher rate than to any other member country. The likely cause was the freedom of movement between EU nations, according to the report.
According to the study, 68 percent of migrants in Germany have active employment, a significant increase compared to any other of the 34 countries that make up the OECD.

IOM ORGANIZES ANTI-TRAFFICKING TRAINING IN BRAZIL’S PERNAMBUCO STATE
The IOM Regional Office for South America, in close coordination with IOM Washington and the US Consulate General in Recife, has organized a victim assistance anti-trafficking training at the Pernambuco State Police Academy in Recife.
The two-day training was designed at the request of the local counter-trafficking taskforce and funded by the US Department of State´s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (J/TIP), through a cooperative agreement with IOM Washington. It was the first of two targeted trainings in Pernambuco – the second which will be held in 2015.
The goal of the training was to enhance capacity to identify and assist trafficking victims by providing technical assistance to the State Centre for Combatting Trafficking in Persons, as well as other key counter-trafficking partners, including service providers, police and prosecutors. The 25 participants were local law enforcement and service providers, and other key counter trafficking actors.

SURVIVAL AND LOSS: A YOUNG SYRIAN WOMAN'S DEADLY VOYAGE TO EUROPE
Nineteen-year-old Doaa al Zamel fled her home in Syria in the hope of finding safety and a better future; she ended up desperately fighting for her life in the Mediterranean Sea and losing her fiancé.
She still relives the trauma of September 10, when an unidentified vessel rammed into the smuggler's trawler that was carrying Doaa and more than 500 other people, including many women and children, who dreamed of reaching Europe. The vessel quickly sank off the east coast of Malta; there were just 11 survivors.
The young woman, who showed tremendous courage in saving one baby and trying to keep another alive during the three days she spent in the water before being rescued by a Greek vessel and taken to Crete, says she is even more determined to reach Sweden where she has relatives.
But her resilience and determination to survive and to try and save others has inspired many people in Greece, including the local authorities in the Crete port of Chania, were she was taken after being rescued by a Greek Navy helicopter. People there believe that Doaa should be given Greek nationality for her bravery.
"What she did – suppressing the instinct for self-preservation and trying to save two babies – is astounding," said Dimitris Nikolakakis, a senior public health and welfare official in Chania.
Doaa's story begins in the south-western Syria town of Dera'a, where she was born and grew up in a family of nine. But as the war escalated, her family decided to flee to nearby Jordan in 2012 before making their way to Egypt. Doaa was just 16 at the time.

SOUTH AFRICA: REFUGEE DIES AFTER SA HOSPITAL DENIES TREATMENT, CITING HEALTH ACT
Ethiopian refugee Badesa Fokora has died in a Johannesburg hospital after suffering double kidney failure and being refused treatment for it, despite the fact that he had been lying in a hospital bed for a month. Although doctors at Helen Joseph Hospital in Johannesburg were aware of his life-threatening condition, they refused him treatment on the basis that he was not a South Africa citizen.
Fokora was told that as a non-South African, he did not qualify for a place on the hospital's chronic renal treatment programme, which involves dialysis and an organ transplant. The hospital refused to treat him even after Fokora's family said that they would contribute to the costs of the treatment.
The National Health Act states that only citizens and permanent residents of South Africa may receive assistance in a treatment programme like this. But Lawyers for Human Rights (LHR), which was approached for assistance after Fokora was refused treatment, state that under the Refugee Act, refugees are to be treated as citizens when it comes to medical issues.
LHR filed an urgent medical matter in the North Gauteng High Court to compel the Minister of Health to make an allowance for Fokora to be granted treatment, and also for refugees to not be excluded from medical treatment.

CANADA NEEDS A PLAN TO ADDRESS VIOLENCE AGAINST IMMIGRANT AND REFUGEE WOMEN
Recent changes to Canadian immigration policy mean fewer social and health supports for immigrant women with a precarious immigration status -- putting them at an increased risk of violence, researchers say.
"Between 2008 and 2013, the Canadian government introduced an unprecedented number of legislative and regulatory changes that have affected immigrants' and refugees' access to legal representation, access to social and health services, and pathways to permanent residence," said Associate Professor Rupaleem Bhuyan of the University of Toronto's Factor Inwentash Faculty of Social Work.
Bhuyan is the lead author of "Unprotected, unrecognized: Canadian immigration policy and violence against women," 2008-2013. The study is part of the Migrant Mothers Project, a collaborative research project led by Bhuyan in partnership with a network of community groups working to address violence against immigrant women.
The report calls for a national plan to address violence against immigrant and refugee women and immigration policies that better support immigrants in precarious circumstances. It calls on the federal government to abolish the two-year conditional status for sponsored spouses, reinstate access to the Interim Federal Health program to all refugee claimants and uphold the privacy of all people who have access to social and health services.
More than one million people live in Canada on a temporary visa, as international students, temporary foreign workers or refugee claimants, Bhuyan said. They are regularly turned away by service providers in health care, women's shelters and other support services because they are not permanent residents or convention refugees and, therefore, not eligible for services.
At the same time, stringent new policies have been introduced, such as the two-year conditional permanent residence for newly-sponsored spouses/partners, bring "undue hardship for newcomers who are facing domestic violence," said Bhuyan.
