| Gov't to Grow: Beest to propose creation of Immigrant Affairs office |
| 2016-04-13 |
| [Reuters] Democrat Hillary Clinton on Wednesday will propose the creation of a new national Office of Immigrant Affairs should she win the White House in November, as she seeks to woo minority and immigrant voters in New York less than a week before the state's primary. The office would coordinate policies and programs among federal agencies and with state and local governments, according to an aide. In contrast, Republican candidates have largely called for stricter immigration rules. Republican front-runner Donald Trump has called for building a wall along the border with Mexico as well as a temporary ban on immigration by Muslims. The New York primary on April 19 could either help former secretary of state Clinton consolidate her status as the Democratic front-runner, or hand a significant victory to rival Bernie Sanders, the Vermont senator seeking to defy expectations and win the party's nomination for the Nov. 8 election. Both candidates are now campaigning across the state, looking to win over New York's diverse population, including voters who come from immigrant families. Around 19 percent of the state is Hispanic or Latino, according to the U.S. Census. With 247 pledged delegates at stake, the state is among the most significant nominating contests left on the calendar before the July convention. |

| #2 I wouldn't mind an immigration affairs office dedicated to promoting assimilation as the path to success in America. We've got enough worthless offices as is that we just rename one without having to hire anybody. The rest of the worthless offices (Education department, HUD, etc) can be reassigned to the Illegal Immigrant Affairs office (that is Border Patrol) and secure that shit like every other nation in the world. |

| #1 Reuters (aka Rooters for Terrorists) - you can tell by the liberal use of 'Immigrant' to describe Illegal Aliens and border-jumpers. I take this to mean that the so-called 'Immigrant Affairs' office will have nothing to do with actual Immigrants but everything to do with providing boodle, and forcing state and local governments to provide boodle to Illegal Aliens. If it was run like the Indian Affairs or Veterans Affairs offices one might expect it to drive them to self-deport. But sadly I'm afraid it will be very good at what it is intended to do - shackle even more vote-slaves to the government teat. |
