[Firedoglake] Immigration: Looking Forward: Moreover, the fact that so many of the new immigrants are coming in through the back door -- instead of being handled legal through a rational legal system -- has eroded our ability to ensure the transmission and absorption of core American values, which is yet another reason to find a way to return immigration to the effective rule of law. I believe that this degradation of the “assimilation” process is fuel not only for the resentment of legal immigrants, but of the larger populace as well.

It is important that these understandable fears be addressed through education and training and not by restraining the competitive forces that are so essential to overall rising standards of living of the great majority of our population.
[Amy King's Blog] Reading Ezra Pounds Politics in Poetry: and earlier in his life his views seemed more Left than Right, although, reading Nicholls, one begins to see this as much as a weakness in the Life/Right distinction as an inconsistency on Pound’s part. Nicholls also shows that “perhaps the most disquieting thing about [Pound’s] savage propaganda is that it was to some degree an extension of ideas that had governed the earlier Cantos.”
[Rabbi Barrys blog] “Immigration revisited”: There are many places in the country–and along the campaign trail–where immigration is a top issue for a clear reason: It is affecting the livelihoods of longtime residents and has visibly transformed their locales.

[Ali Eteraz] Is There an Anti-Pakistani Bias at Sepia-Mutiny?: Personally what I find really annoying is the way aggressive rah-rah Hindu nationalist types pop up and spout bigoted shit from time to time and everyone else gets tired of trying to counter them after a while (though then again, it seems to be a pattern that the bulk of Americans of Indian parentage I know are much more Hindu nationalist than people I know back home).

[Angusivory's Weblog] Week in Review #30 2007-07-28: To keep it simple, where markets are in a trading range (which is most of the time), I use Relative Strength Index (RSI indicator) analysis to set what I call the Accumulation Zone and the Distribution Zone, which are levels of trading activity where I would be a buyer or a seller. Then I use a combination of RSI and Stochastic Oscillators on a combination of different periods (Monthly-Weekly-Daily-Hourly) of the price data for each stock in the Cara 100 watchlist.
