“I’ve been out to San Diego, I've seen the various prototypes for the wall construction. And I'm confident that in a place like San Diego, it is badly needed.” -@RepGoodlatte

THREAD: One of our most popular reports ever is a 2001 analysis of the link between immigration and crime, by Carl Horowitz. Debates over border security have brought it back into the spotlight.

Here, we'll share some of the insights from that report.
cis.org/Report/Examina…
1/ It is true that GAO analysis indicates that immigrants do not commit crime at a higher rate than the native-born.

However, immigrant crime may be under-reported. A 1990 report from the DOJ's Crime Victimization Survey indicated that Hispanic crime is more under-reported.
2/ As evidence, Hispanics failed to report crimes of all types at a rate nearly twice the rate that they did report; even for violent crimes alone the unreported offenses outnumbered the reported ones.

In one hour, CIS will be hosting an immigration newsmaker conversation with @RepGoodlatte.

You can watch the event live: cis.org/Press-Release/…
The live conversation with @JessicaV_CIS and @RepGoodlatte is now beginning:

facebook.com/CenterforImmig…
Rep. Goodlatte: "Legislation I introduced went a long way to closing asylum loopholes, addressing DACA, funding the wall, and E-verify. I thought it was a great bill. Unfortunately it got tangled in house politics...If leadership worked to get us the votes, it would've passed."

THREAD: With the caravan in Tijuana, concerns over terrorists joining caravans have been dismissed as a fear tactic.

Yet the truth is that at least 15 terrorists have been apprehended at the border since 9/11.

Throughout the day, we'll highlight all 15.
cis.org/Report/Have-Te…
Terrorist #1: Abdulahi Sharif of Somalia.

In 2011, Sharif was smuggled through Latin America into California. In 2017, he stabbed a police officer and conducted two vehicle ramming attacks in Edmonton while flying an ISIS flag.

Terrorst #2: Ibrahim Qoordheen of Somalia

Qoordheen was intercepted by Costa Rican authorities en route to the US-Mexico border. Costa Rica confirmed he had links to an international terrorist organization--likely al-Shabaab.

Dear Nigerian twitterati, I feel compelled to contribute to the intense debate concerning the value or stupidity of the Nigerian Home Grown School Feeding Program. I hope to lay out what I do know, based on some of the best available evidence.
There are fundamental concerns I cannot address. For example, I may not be able to convince you if you already believe that social welfare programs are evil or stupid. Also, If your preferred positions are guided by your politics, I may not also be able to help. That said . . .
We know from nationally representative surveys that more than 20% of Nigerian children are malnourished. In the Northeast and Northwest, the prevalence is as high as 50%. bit.ly/2qoldY6

I spent the afternoon immersed in various forms of my own personal therapy. I'm back and I'm ready to tear some shit up.

And I'm just gonna say it: I'm not backing another politician, ever again, who isn't willing to set shit on fire and burn down white supremacist patriarchy.
I'm going to center on people with a history of fighting for justice, people invested in equity, people who know what it means to fight, people who are relentless. I don't give a fuck where they come from or whether they're "experienced."

I'm looking at a coalition of warriors.
And WE make the army--leaders, generals and priestesses alike--as long as we are willing to listen and build and fight.

Make no mistake about it: I don't care if it all ends in ashes as long as what comes next allows nothing like what happened today to ever happen again.

🔹

He wakes up once again to an empty room. He looks for his phone which he finds at the dresser with his car key. His shoes neatly arranged next to the closet and curtains drawn.

He checks the bathroom but there is no sign of the younger.

Failing to have his call picked up,
he sends a text and starts to feel anxious.

Did Kyungsoo run away?

He opens the closet and finds their bags with their wallets inside. It means the other only has his phone with him.

And he's not answering any calls and texts.

He's seriously getting worried.
If before, he could contact his cousin and ask of his whereabouts, right now he doesn't have anyone to turn to.

Just then the door opens, revealing a drenched Kyungsoo. The younger just stands there, at the doorway with a bashful smile.

"What happened to you? Why are you wet?"

The 3d Cir opinion on Chaka Fattah et al's corruption convictions is now online. Bottom line: while it overturns certain charges and reinstates others, the number of 10-year concurrent sentences he's still facing means no change in his jail time. www2.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/16439… (1/)
All the convictions relating to the illegal excess campaign loan from Al Lord and the various schemes to repay him and Tom Lindenfeld stand, including RICO. Convictions relating to the phony Porsche sale, for which the trial court judge directed acquittal, are reinstated. (2/)
As to the bribery charges involving Fattah and Vederman, the Court tossed the convictions based on improper jury instructions pre-McDonnell, with remand for potential retrial on those counts. Here's how the Court sums up its ruling. (3/)

Way 01- Choose the easy path!
Actually, anything worth doing is potentially hard. Simple sentences, however, are less problematic because of their simple structures. Familiarize yourself with and use them often.

#KissPrinciple
The simple sentence could contain both obligatory (VERB) and optional (SUBJECT, OBJECT or COMPLEMENT) elements. These are very important aspects!
