I was asked about this story this evening while at an event, but I was not aware this had happened.
The few, or the one, that did – I hope is caught and charged accordingly.
We don’t do this, people. I don’t, pretty sure most of us don’t.
We are supposed to obey the Rule of Law in this Republic, aren’t we?

Because of Secretary Duncan’s Race to Waste Your Education Dollars.
The “money” line: “But grant applications are what RttT is all about, and they have made RttT the biggest waste of your education dollars ever.”

The ease with which your credit card info (what about Real-ID?) can be stolen is upsetting.
The U.S. is reviewing whether a law that increases some visa fees is compliant with World Trade Organization rules, the U.S. Department of State announced last week. President Obama signed into law on Aug. 13 a $600 million bill for increased surveillance for illegal immigrants on the U.S.-Mexican border. The cost of the new measures are to be paid from an increase in H-1B and L visa fees paid by tech workers brought into the country by companies with more than 50 staff, and in which more than 50% of the staff are on these visas. The new border security law has been criticized as discriminatory by India’s National Association of Software and Service Companies that have more than 50% of their staff in the U.S. on these visas.

Government agents can sneak trespass onto your property in the middle of the night, put a GPS device on the bottom of your car and keep track of everywhere you go. This doesn’t violate your Fourth Amendment rights, because you do not have any reasonable expectation of privacy in your own driveway — and no reasonable expectation that the government isn’t tracking your movements.
That rule now applies in California and eight other Western states. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit recently decided the government can monitor you in this way virtually anytime it wants — with no need for a search warrant.

Okay. So two wrongs make it right? My God.
All this does is open the door for more abuse – against law abiding citizens and not just suspected criminals.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio now has until 9/10 to comply with a Justice Department request to explain his office’s “operations, policies and procedures” involving the arrest and detention of Hispanics, according to a letter obtained by ABC News.
Gee, sounds to me like the DOJ is putting words into the Sheriff’s mouth – trying to make it seem as though there is profiling, discrimination, bias going on.
Yet, the DOJ doesn’t seem to say anything about the violence and murders being perpetrated by the Mexican drug cartel members that have come across our southern border to perform their crimes on our citizens.
Unbelievable.
UPDATE: Here comes the lawsuit. Seems DOJ is claiming the following: alleged discrimination, unconstitutional searches and seizures, and having English-only policies in his jails that discriminate against people with limited English skills.
Cretins.
UPDATEx2: Apparently as a result of a Freedom of Information Act submission, ICE had cleared Sheriff Arpaio of any wrongdoing 5 months prior to the DOJ filing court papers against the Sheriff in 2010. Meaning, ICE investigated him in 2009 and now the DOJ is suing (in 2010) on those exact same charges back in 2009. Sheesh.

Yup. Not a misspelling. Really.
What this refers to is that the White House counter-terrorism adviser, John Brennan, stormed out of the Washington Times offices after being asked questions regarding what he previously said about individuals who become terrorists …
What we have here, is failure to keep control of one’s temper. Apparently. For someone in a high level position who is supposed to be consistent regarding our nation’s security.
