The pending Senate immigration bill would bring a minimum of 33 million people into the country during its first decade of operation, according to an analysis by NumbersUSA, a group that wants to slow the current immigration rate.
By 2024, the inflow would include an estimated 9.2 million illegal immigrants, plus 2.5 million illegals who arrived as children -- dubbed 'Dreamers' -- plus roughly 3.4 million company-sponsored employees with university degrees, said the unreleased analysis.
The majority of the inflow, or roughly 17 million people, would consist of family members of illegals, recent immigrants and of company-sponsored workers, according to the NumbersUSA analysis provided to The Daily Caller.

A large portion of these people will be on SSI, Medicaid, Section 8 Housing, etc. Of course they will not pay a dime into the system. This is going to make the Baby Boomer bulge look like a speed bump when it comes to unfunded liabilities.

Just another reason why ANN COULTER is correct about the GOP or GOP-Right never electing another POTUS evar! again.
E.g. besides Boston Bombing Terrorists + Illegal Immigrants receiving Welfare-Public Assistance, + now Illegal Immigrants potens getting the right to sit on Criminal Juries.
Ala the POST-1917/OCTOBER REVOLUTION BOLSHEVIK-VS-MENSHEVIK RUSSIAN PURGE, the GOP or GOP-Right may be de facto extinct after 2020 or 2025, along wid US-specific ...
> NATIONALISM.
> SOVEREIGNTY
> FREE MARKET CAPITALISM = PRIVATE MARKET, INDUSTRY SECTORS.
> THE CONSTITUTION, ee BILL OF RIGHTS.
> JUDEOCHRISTIANITY = MAINSTREAM ORGANIZED RELIGION, in favor Universal Secular,Scientific Neutralism - you know, SSSSHHHHHH ATHEISM.
* FREEREPUBLIC > HOLDER: AMNESTY IS A "CIVIL RIGHT".
* SAME > [Daily Mail.UK] SHOCKING US GOVERNMENT LEAFLET TELLS [illegal] MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS THEY CAN COLLECT FOOD STAMP BENEFITS, + Other widout having to formally divulge or indicate their "illegal" status.
* SAME > [Zero Hedge] TOTAL US DEBT TO GDP - 105%.
5% or 15%, it still comes down to the US is technically BANKRUPT, where the only plan the GOP-DEMS Govtcritters in Washington have is to KEEP EXPANDING THE GROSS, NET DEBT BURDEN TO NEW FOUND HEIGHTS.
Lest we fergit, as per MONETARY EASING the Fed intends to borrow US$85.0Bilyuhn per Month per Year/Anum for at minima the next 10 Years.
Besides the Motherly PLA Airborne Forces + PLAN, the above is one of China's principal anti-US "aces" in NE Asia + WESTPAC, SOPAC agz the US + Japan + ASEAN, etc. + a POTUS Bammer that many Americans = Amerikans proclaim NOT to trust.

I just asked DoD about the blocking:
Has it been unblocked? Who did it? Why? What personnel actions will be taken against the person or persons responsible?
Somebody want to ask if Inspire is blocked?

NO, I was not surprised when the Tsarnaev brothers, the terrorists involved in last weeks Boston bombing, turned out to be Islamic radicals
Read the Koran and you will find the explanation. Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it, the Koran tells the faithful (2:216). In case anyone doubts what is meant by fighting: I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, maim them in every limb! (8:12).
And yet, most Western intellectuals, journalists and politicians keep declaring that the true Islam can be found in the occasional non-bellicose sentences of the Koran. Islam is a religion of peace, they say. And whenever adherents of this religion of peace blow up pressure cookers full of nails amid innocent bystanders, we hear that they are not acting in accordance to Islamic teachings.
I have spent almost a decade under round-the-clock police protection because of death threats
People such as Feiz Mohammed, the Australian-born sheik of Lebanese origin, whose Islamic sermons inspired the Tsarnaev brothers, are not propagating a false Islam. They are propagating the Islam of the Koran and of Mohammed
Three years ago, Feiz Mohammed issued an internet video in which he called for my beheading. I was, he said, evil filth. Chop his head off, he told his followers. I am threatened for the simple reason that I am an Islam critic. But, make no mistake, I am not the only one who is in danger. The Tsarnaev brothers drew inspiration from Feiz Mohammeds internet rants and decided to kill innocent onlookers at a marathon. Everyone is in danger.
Following the Boston bombing, Australias Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said that Sheik Mohammeds videos no longer represent his views But I do not share this optimism I have not heard the sheik recall his demand for my beheading
In my view, the cause is Islams inherent violent and intolerant nature. I always make a distinction between Muslims and Islam. Most Muslims are moderate, but this does not mean that there is such thing as a moderate Islam.
[Dawn] RAMPAGING lawyers are back in the news. Over the past few days members of the legal fraternity have featured in a number of violent attacks. A melee erupted outside the Rawalpindi district courts on Tuesday when some black coats clashed with supporters of Pervez Perv Musharraf ... former dictator of Pakistain, who was less dictatorial and corrupt than any Pak civilian government to date ... . Both groups came well-prepared as they attacked each other with rods and projectiles. Some lawyers have made it a point to protest -- often violently -- when-ever the retired general, or his counsel, makes a court appearance. On Saturday, a number of lawyers had given supporters of Gen Musharraf a hiding in Islamabad. Meanwhile, ...back at the pool hall, Peoria Slim had found another sucker... the beginning of the week saw lawyers in Lahore scuffle with an income tax official. In fact, coppers, political workers and journalists have all tasted the wrath of the lawyers, some of whom have been accused of threatening witnesses and obstructing justice. Not even fellow legal practitioners and members of the judiciary have been spared, with reports of judges being mishandled and locked up in their chambers. Evidently, the success of the lawyers' movement for the restoration of the judiciary has gone to the black coats' heads, and many members of the legal fraternity now resort to violence at the slightest provocation.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pool hall, Peoria Slim had found another sucker... it is unfortunate that this tendency is hardly criticised by a society that has become inured to violence and condones thuggish beha-viour in general. Bar councils have taken action, but their efforts have been a drop in the ocean. Apparently, senior lawyers and bar councils do not take serious note of the antics of their more violent colleagues due to reasons of bar room politics; often it is the same hotheads who are most effective in rallying support when bar elections come around. It is high time the higher judiciary and the bar councils took steps to end this hooliganism. With the faces of lawyers clearly visible in video footage and photographs, it should be fairly easy to identify at least some of the errant black coats who must be made to answer for their violent tendencies.

[Dawn] GEN Ashfaq Parvez Kayani ... four star general, current Chief of Army Staff of the Mighty Pak Army. Kayani is the former Director General of ISI... 's warning against separating Islam from Pakistain's polity or politics should not surprise anyone because Islam has been used as a battle cry by almost all Mohammedan warriors across the globe and throughout the ages, even when both sides have recited the same Kalima and the issue is nothing more than ownership of the throne or a piece of land.
Also not surprising is the way the general's words have been flashed by a section of the media as if he has supported the pseudo-religious parties' challenge to the non-theocratic forces in the country's general election.
This interpretation may not be correct because while Gen Kayani refers to religion as a unifying force, the politicians in religious robes are using it to divide the people. That the army chief should have been aware of the possibility that his speech on the eve of a crucial election could be exploited for partisan purposes cannot be gainsaid.
That Zia ul Haq's plans to turn the democratic state of Pakistain into a theocracy of the most primitive variety could derive no support from Iqbal can easily be shown.
Iqbal's basic premise was that Islamic thought had been deprived of its essential dynamism by being kept frozen and immobile for 500 years. He therefore called for ijtihad to revive "the principle of movement in the nature of Islam". Zia ul Haq, on the other hand, through his scheme of so-called Islamisation, extended constitutional protection to the frozen and immobile Islamic law and barred the door to ijtihad.
The issue has acquired contemporary relevance because religion is being used by diverse forces to exploit the opening provided by the general election to capture the state of Pakistain.
On the one hand, some elements want to impose their version of religion at the point of the gun or the butcher's blade. And on the other hand, quite a few parties are invoking religious symbols for establishing a theocracy or a caliphate to replace democracy. Both groups are using Islam as a divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... force. While they often quote Iqbal to justify mixing religion with politics they deliberately distort the poet-philosopher's argument.
For instance, Iqbal's support is sought to denounce secularism without appreciating his argument. Iqbal says: "The ultimate Reality, according to the Koran, is spiritual, and its life consists in its temporal activity. The spirit finds its opportunities in the natural, the material, the secular. All that is secular is therefore sacred in the roots of its being." (Emphasis added).
Pak advocates of theocracy often summon Iqbal in their defence and deliberately conceal his concept of a theocracy. In Iqbal's view, "the state according to Islam is only an effort to realise the spiritual in a human organization. But in this sense all state, not based on mere domination and aiming at the realisation of ideal principles, is theocratic".
Again he argues: "The essence of 'tauhid' as a working idea is equality, solidarity and freedom. The state, from the Islamic standpoint, is an endeavour to transform these ideal principles into space-time forces, an aspiration to realise them in a definite human organization. It is in this sense alone that the state in Islam is a theocracy, not in the sense that it is headed by a representative of God on earth who can always screen his despotic will behind his supposed infallibility." (Emphasis added).
Those raising the slogan of 'khilafat, not jamhooriat' may also take note of Iqbal's endorsement of 'Turkey's ijtihad' "that according to the spirit of Islam the caliphate or imamate can be vested in a body of persons, or an elected assembly", and his firm view that "the republican form of government is not only thoroughly consistent with the spirit of Islam, but has also become a necessity in view of the new forces that are set free in the world of Islam".
On the impossibility of reviving the one-man caliphate in modern times Iqbal fully endorsed Ibn Khaldun's verdict.
The danger Pakistain faces today is from the plea to return to what Iqbal called an uncritical vision of the past. There is a great need to ponder over his warning against reviving ancient modes of managing public affairs. "Thus a false reverence for past history and its artificial resurrection constitute no remedy for a people's decay," he says.
What this means is that the problems the people of Pakistain have been facing in establishing a functional and durable democracy cannot be solved with remedies evolved in the period before democracy.
It is possible that the conservative sections of society have run out of political options to oppose the growing movement for reconstructing the state in accordance with Jinnah's ideals of people's democracy, nationhood on the basis of a common citizenship, federalism, gender equality and the rule of law.
In sheer desperation they are whipping up a wave of religiosity to prevent Pakistain's transition to a modern democracy. In this situation, the less one speaks of the role of religion in public affairs and avoids expropriating Iqbal's thought the better it will be.

The UN, US and Philippine government give these groups too much free space. Finding and killing the key leaders and those who finance this power grab should be the order of the day. Most Filipinos just want to have enough food to live. This crap does nothing to move their country forward.

Agreed. Problem is that the groups have too many tendrils into the political groups.
Co-opting the rank and file wouldn't hurt either. It's slow but it works (from experience.)

Teachers taught only subjects that were to be covered in upcoming public tests and abandoned them immediately after the exams.
In other words, the administration and teachers treat their 'vocation' as another government make work project. Do just enough to avoid being thrown off the gravy train and pension jackpot run.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.

Pervez 
...the creepy-looking former dictator of Pakistain. Zia was an Islamic nutball who imposed his nutballery on the rest of the country with the enthusiastic assistance of the nation's religious parties, which are populated by other nutballs. He was appointed Chief of Army Staff in 1976 by Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, whom he hanged when he seized power. His time in office was a period of repression, with hundreds of thousands of political rivals, minorities, and journalists executed or tortured, including senior general officers convicted in coup-d'état plots, who would normally be above the law. As part of his alliance with the religious parties, his government helped run the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan, providing safe havens, American equipiment, Saudi money, and Pak handlers to selected mujaheddin. Zia died along with several of his top generals and admirals and the then United States Ambassador to Pakistain Arnold Lewis Raphel when he was assassinated in a suspicious air crash near Bahawalpur in 1988...
