Legal immigration benefits our society
Alexander Boldyrev and colleagues at Utah State University, Logan, working with Lai-Sheng Wang and colleagues at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island have synthesized a planar boron compound that has the highest coordination number of any flat molecule, squeezing ten spoke-like bonds to boron atoms into a wheel. This astounding feat of engineering not only breaks previous records for such compounds but offers new insights into bonding, coordination and the development of boron chemistry.

Naturalized U.S. citizen Alexander Boldyrev, professor of Theoretical Computational Chemistry at University of Utah, Salt Lake City did his undergraduate and master’s level work at Novosibirsky University and PhD at Moscow State University, and his Dr. Science (highest degree in USSR) at Institute of Chemical Physics, USSR Academy of Sciences in Moscow, in 1987.
Lai Sheng Wang received his B.S. degree in Chemistry from Wuhan University in 1982 and his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 1990. His current Vita shows 322 publications where he is the first author.

Obama appoints an advocate for illegals
Victor Davis Hanson writes: "President Barack Obama recently assured El Salvador that the United States would not deport the more than 200,000 Salvadorans residing illegally in the United States. As the election nears, and the president looks to court Hispanic voters, he has also created a new position of “public advocate” for illegal immigrants, whose duties would appear to be advocating that millions circumvent, rather than follow, current federal law.
So who are the victims, and who is pushing this agenda to bring in more illegals?
Read here.
"Under some convoluted logic, the administration appointed a public advocate for illegal immigrants and their lobbyists. The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, touted the appointment as a positive move for the “stakeholders.”
Andrew Lorenzen-Strait was appointed as the public advocate to handle questions and issues regarding the “stakeholder community involved in immigration policy and enforcement...Engaging stakeholders and building partnerships to facilitate communication, foster collaboration and solicit input on immigration enforcement initiatives and operations.” (ICE press release)
The “stakeholder community” who entered the country or reside here illegally now have their very own public advocate. The agency that is supposed to enforce the laws of the land against them gave the stakeholder community an ombudsman."
Washington Times article
Lorenzen-Strait has been with ICE since 2008, and last year made over $112,000. This job will probably be at a much higher salary. Many jobs depend on illegals.

BLM targets smugglers on public lands
"Who abandoned these areas to drug smugglers?
That these warning signs are all over the federal lands is a testament to America’s failed border security strategies and the absence of enough Border Patrol agents at the border to stop illegal entry and drug smuggling.
It should also be noted that there is a lot of conflict between the various federal land management agencies and the Border Patrol regarding fence construction, road building, and access to federally managed lands.
On top of that environmentalsists are more interested in protecting critters that live on these federal lands than supporting federal efforts to stop the flow of illegal entrants and drugs through federally managed lands. Thus they have attempted to impede the implementation of border security efforts on federal lands near the border.
So if the drug cartels have free run over federal lands, there are many reasons why this has happened.
One being the Border Patrol isn’t at the border."
