Johnson-Harrell, 53, was sentenced on Thursday after she pleaded guilty to felony charges for spending more than $500,000 in funds from the Motivations Education & Consultation Associates on personal affects like clothing, vacations and real estate, the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office said in a news release. “This Philadelphia community would have been in a better place had this former public official invested MECA’s money into the people who needed the care she promised,” Pa. Attorney General Josh Shapiro said after Johnson-Harrell’s court hearing. The nonprofit serves the homeless, seniors, children, and people with chronic mental illness, intellectual disabilities, and substance abuse disorders. Johnson-Harrell was recently elected to the Pennsylvania General Assembly. She won a 2019 special election in the 190th Legislative District, which covers parts of West Philadelphia and North Philadelphia. While reacting to the victory, she stated she was the first Muslim woman elected to the Pennsylvania legislature. She resigned from the legislature in December 2019. In addition to her time in jail, Johnson-Harrell will spend eight-and-a-half months on house arrest, eleven-and-a-half months on parole and two years on probation. She also agreed to pay restitution to the nonprofit — including surrendering a property to the state. Johnson-Harrell pleaded guilty to theft by unlawful taking, theft by deception and perjury, which are all felonies. The AG’s office said she pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges of tampering with public records. ——————————————- “Her theft knew no bounds,” said Pennsylvania’s attorney general.

Tiberius Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 I've been saying this for years, we need more immigrants for economic reasons White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney: U.S. Is ‘Desperate’ for Immigrants INTERESTING Julia Arciga Mark Wilson/Getty Acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney told a private audience that the U.S. was desperately in need of immigrants to drive economic growth, The Washington Post reports. “We are desperate—desperate—for more people,” Mulvaney told a crowd of several hundred at the Oxford Union. “We are running out of people to fuel the economic growth that we’ve had in our nation over the last four years. We need more immigrants.” Mulvaney underscored that the Trump administration wanted those immigrants to come into the country in a “legal fashion,” and the government wanted more foreign workers despite Trump's “anti-immigrant” reputation. More specifically, Mulvaney said the administration wanted to embrace a model that was closer to Canada and Australia's immigration systems which are weighted towards merit and employment-based immigration. “We are very interested in expanding that,” he said. Trump has been particularly critical in the past of immigrants who enter the country through avenues that aren’t merit-based—like chain migration, the visa lottery, and asylum claims.

B-Man Posted February 22, 2020 Author Posted February 22, 2020 Greyhound Bans Immigration Checks On Buses Wow. I just can’t wait to see how this plays out once this report shows up in the Oval Office. Greyhound, one of the oldest passenger bus lines in the country, has announced that it will no longer allow Border Patrol agents to board its buses to check the immigration and citizenship status of passengers. Stickers will be placed on all of their buses informing law enforcement that they won’t be allowed on the bus unless they have a warrant to search for a specific suspect. I’ve got a feeling that somebody at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue isn’t going to be a fan of this policy change. (Associated Press) Greyhound, the nation’s largest bus company, said Friday it will stop allowing Border Patrol agents without a warrant to board its buses to conduct routine immigration checks. The company’s announcement came one week after The Associated Press reported on a leaked Border Patrol memo confirming that agents can’t board private buses without the consent of the bus company. Greyhound had previously insisted that even though it didn’t like the immigration checks, it had no choice under federal law but to allow them. In an emailed statement, the company said it would notify the Department of Homeland Security that it does not consent to unwarranted searches on its buses or in areas of terminals that are not open to the public — such as company offices or any areas a person needs a ticket to access. Perhaps this news isn’t quite as bad as it could be, which isn’t saying much. The memo that the AP obtained specifies that this policy would apply “at non-checkpoint locations.” That’s important because the first thought that crossed my mind was to wonder if we couldn’t even check passengers at border crossings. That’s just an invitation to illegal immigrants that would cost no more than a bus ticket. Still, it’s not good. But what can the White House do about it, right? I mean, after all, Greyhound is a private company and they set their own policies. Well… not so fast. We’ve seen President Trump in action before on these types of disputes. Both state governments and private companies frequently rely on the good graces of the federal government to get things done. And as it turns out, in order for Greyhound to legally operate their business with any bus routes that cross state lines, there are a few legal hoops to jump through. Primarily, they need a Motor Carrier Number (MCN) issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. https://hotair.com/archives/jazz-shaw/2020/02/22/greyhound-bans-immigration-checks-buses/

B-Man Posted February 25, 2020 Author Posted February 25, 2020 GOOD NEWS ON IMMIGRATION Mother Jones has data on immigration that most people will consider good news. Mother Jones, of course, doesn’t see it that way. When President Donald Trump took office, he wasted no time in overhauling immigration system with high-profile moves such as separating asylum seekers from their children, rolling back the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and diverting federal funds to build a border wall. Yet along with these dramatic changes, the administration has been implementing smaller, less visible bureaucratic changes that have affected people who seek to work, study, or stay in the United States through visas, green cards, and family unification programs. As Ur Jaddou, the former chief counsel of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the federal agency that oversees visas, work permits, and green cards told Highline, “the sheer number of both significant and less significant changes is overwhelming. It will take an ambitious plan over a series of years to undo it all.” I sincerely hope that last assertion is true. Now, on to the data. Refugee admissions have dropped sharply: Other immigration categories have slowed as well. It took me a moment to understand the charts, but the lighter dot to the left shows the percentage denied in 2015, and the darker dot to the right shows the percentage denied in 2019. I am especially glad to see “family unity applications” being denied at a relatively high rate–still, only 19%–as these are rife with fraud. Ultimately, we need a merit-based immigration system like Canada’s, or the one that the new Tory government in the U.K. is proposing. Until we have a system that is designed to benefit us, not random citizens of third world countries, Trump’s pullback is the best we can do. . 1
