The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Illegal Immigration Back Up


For John, BLUFI note The New York Times has used the Non-PC term "illegal" to refer to what is happening.  Nothing to see here; just move along.



On 26 November Reporter Julia Preston, of The New York Times wrote that the "Number of Migrants Illegally Crossing Rio Grande Rises Sharply"

From the beginning of the article.

The numbers of migrants crossing the Rio Grande illegally have risen sharply in recent weeks, replaying scenes from the influx of Central American children and families in South Texas last year.

Once again, smugglers are bringing hundreds of women and children each day to the Mexican banks of the river and sending them across in rafts.  In a season when illegal crossings normally go down, “The numbers have started going the other way,” said Raul L. Ortiz, acting chief of the Border Patrol for the Rio Grande Valley. Since Oct. 1, official figures show, Border Patrol apprehensions of migrant families in this region have increased 150 percent over the same period last year, while the number of unaccompanied children caught by agents has more than doubled.

The new flows here are smaller than the surge in the summer of 2014, but come after a year of declines in illegal crossings across the southwest border.  The increases come as Americans’ concerns about border security are heightened after the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris raised fears that terrorists would try to sneak into the United States.  And they are complicating the Obama administration’s efforts to reassure the country that the border is under control.

It is basic capitalism.  You get more of what you reward.  Sometimes it is profit.  Sometimes it is Bureaucratic adjustments.
