According to advocacy groups representing the Big Tech employers and their guestworkers, tomorrow the Senate will consider a bill that would dramatically change our system for awarding employment green cards.

cis.org/Vaughan/Senate…
The bill is the Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants Act (#S386).

It eliminates the per-country cap, which meters issuance of green cards so that they are distributed to applicants from all countrie.

cis.org/Vaughan/Senate…
Sources tell us that an actual vote is highly unlikely; instead, a unanimous consent request from a senator is more likely, which allows them to bypass the committee process, hearings, amendments, and, most importantly, a public debate. #S386

A CRS analysis new rules limiting the use of social welfare programs by immigrants suggests that the Trump administration is using a regulation to change the law.

That is not only untrue, it would be illegal to do so.

cis.org/Cadman/CRS-Ana…
To review, the proposed rule will expand the types of public assistance that will be considered a public charge.

It is unlikely that the rule will have a significant effect on the total number of immigrants admitted, which is about 1m per year.

cis.org/Vaughan/Propos…
The public charge doctrine is one of the oldest components of American immigration policy.

it seems wildly inappropriate to me for the city of charlottesville to issue this scathing press release about statements they claim were made by members of the police civilian review board at a meeting that was not attended by any city employee.
the press release claims board member josh bowers made false representations of his email exchange with police chief brackney. i can't imagine how he could have mischaracterized her emails in reading them, in their entirety and without commentary.

the city claims the board "falsely stated" that the chief did not have any availability in the month of june for a public meeting. josh read (again, in its entirety) his emails with the chief's scheduler, stating that the chief had no evening availability.

With SPLC in turmoil, it's a good time to remind you that DefendGavin.com is helping fund precedent-setting lawsuit against the smear machine==>
2/ Don't forget: SPLC was forced to pay out $3 million plus after ex-Muslim radical-turned-reformer Maajid Nawaz sued when the weaponizers of "hate" slimed him as an "anti-Muslim extremist."
splcenter.org/news/2018/06/1…
3/And don't forget: The Family Research Council won a $3.4 settlement from the SPLC smear machine after the social conservative group fought back against left-wing defamation.

AP has totally lost it. This isn't a fact check. This is an op-ed with cherry-picked arguments presented them as if they are "settled science." This is a polemic. apnews.com/7eb07814117f46…
"MYTH: VAST NUMBERS OF IMMIGRANTS ARE POURING ACROSS U.S. BORDERS" -- AP basically says as long as the number is about average there is no problem and that you can't say the numbers are a lot. Well, that is an opinion.
Many Americans think the number is vast and other Americans (including the AP) think the number is small enough not to worry about it. That's not an issue of Myth and Fact.

Accessible introductory information (as it sticks closely to the #PrimarySource, the #Senate's #CIA #TortureReport):

" Read the Senate’s executive summary of the CIA torture report
The report found that the methods used by the CIA were more brutal than the agency acknowledged either to Bush administration officials or to the public. "

(THREAD) Following Sessions' Congressional testimony, investigators must find out who was in the room with Jeff Sessions when he negotiated sanctions policy with Sergey Kislyak in his Senate office on September 8, 2016. I think we know two of the people. Please read on and share.
1/ Sessions' story on his September 2016 meeting with Russia's ambassador has changed repeatedly—despite several sworn testimonies. First, he failed to disclose the meeting on forms; then, he failed to disclose to Congress; then, he couldn't remember details; now, he has details.
2/ Sessions originally said he had two aides with him; now, facing accusations of perjury, he says he had "at least" two aides with him. Unfortunately, no one in Congress has asked who those aides *were*—as none of them could claim any privilege in testifying before Congress.
