The Obama administration admitted nearly 85,000 refugees into the United States in fiscal year 2016, the highest number since 1999.  Moreover, as we noted back in September, Obama's administration has laid the groundwork to increase that number even further in fiscal year 2017 to 110,000 (see "Hillbama Administration Plans To Admit At Least 110,000 Refugees In 2017"). 

Of course, not every state is doing their "fair share" to house the massive influx of immigrants with Pew Research Center recently pointing out that the top ten states are taking in 54% of refugees.

There just isn’t a lot of good news here.

The middle class is still struggling for something tangible, but things remain pretty frustrating for most people.

It could actually feel like things are going in reverse… and that each piece of economic interaction squeezes just a little bit harder.

A California University has banned the use of the phrase “illegal immigrant” due to its offensive tone to potential illegal immigrants.  Professor Alicia Chavez at the University of Southern California (USC) told her students that they would be banned from using the words “illegal immigrant” in their final exams.

A new bill is being proposed in California that would allow for the creation of “safe spaces” or “safe zones” for potential terrorists in the State.  California State Senator Kevin de Leon is pushing through the “California Values Act” (SB-54) that will prevent authorities from investigating, detaining, detecting, reporting or arresting anybody deemed to be an illegal immigrant.
