13 Mar 2008This silly video pokes fun at the technological and customer service advances made by our nation’s Citizenship and Immigration Services offices.
I have to admit this is pretty true to life when I compare it to recent trips to my local post office.

Ferraro’s Lucky Comments Cost Her Her Post

Everyday I’m reminded how lucky I am to be a woman of color, a Latina, a Puerto Rican. I’m so lucky apparently that white women want to be women of color to get big book deals. When people of color question how such things can happen, how can so many real stories of the struggles of people of color get passed by, silenced ? If the answer we dare to speak is racism, well then we are racist against white people. Remind me how lucky I am again?
Enter Geraldine Ferraro who stepped down from her honorary post in the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign because she reminded Barack Obama (and all people of color in powerful positions) just how lucky he is:
“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.”

Yesterday House Republicans made a move to force the Shuler/Tancredo “SAVE Act” to a vote on the floor. This “discharge petition” is a special procedural motion that would allow the sponsors of the Shuler-Tancredo bill to take it straight to the floor of the House without having to go through the full committee process and then force a vote.
The bill would force all employers, within four years, to use the E-verify employment authorization verification system, which has been criticized as flawed, for all workers—new hires and current workers.
