[Daily Caller] Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have arrested illegal aliens working construction at the Travis Air Force Base and are looking to deport them as soon as possible.
ICE quickly arrived on the scene after a military official realized that two illegals, Hugo Mejia and Rodrigo Nuñez, did not have valid social security numbers and reported the pair of construction workers at the base, The Mercury News reports.
After arresting Mejia and Nuñez, ICE has placed the men in expedited deportation proceedings, as both men have removal orders stemming from when they entered the country illegally over a decade ago.
Mejia is naturally upset. He told The Mercury News in Spanish, while detained at the Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center, that he has a good track record.

"Good track record for 17 years?" Would that be with a fake Social Security Card, and paying no taxes ?
Base Commander should order the termination of the contract of the firm he works for and direct the Travis JAG to investigate the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). If he's (the worker) a DoD civilian employee, dig deeper and investigate the Civilian Personnel Office on Travis. Might want to consider relieving the base commander, if any of these action are not already taking place.

Oh, SS taxes were likely paid and the SSN was likely legit. Somebody else will get the money.
That is one nice feature of the whole deal. Imagining these people without any benefits when they reach retirement age is even better.

And as an aside, the Contracting Officer Representative has the job of ensuring that the terms of the contract are met. The COR doesn't write the contract. Neither does the COR do the background checks or directly question the workers' qualifications. Or issue them base access.
It's more likely that the contractor sub-contracted the work. That's not illegal, unless the contract stipulated otherwise. But it will give the contractor a black eye. And likely the base as well.

The Davis–Bacon Act of 1931 is a United States federal law that establishes the requirement for paying the local prevailing wages on public works projects for laborers and mechanics.
* prevailing wages = union wages in the location
The contractor had to bid labor costs estimates in accordance with the Act. Someone is pocketing the difference.

He seldom got to play the hero. But in every film or series he had a role in, as far as I was concerned, the hero and villain roles were inverted. Similarly, I've always considered Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef) the Good in the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

Not this shit again - remember how many times they said eggs were bad for you, then they were good for you, and so on? I lost count during my lifetime.
[Last Refuge] Carson Huey-You graduated yesterday from Texas Christian University with a degree in physics and dual-minors in Chinese linguistics and Applied Math. He enters graduate school next fall en route to a Phd in Quantum Mechanics.
Oh yeah, well, he’s 14-years-old ....and on pace to achieve his Phd in physics and applied and theoretical sciences before he will be old enough to vote....
"It is just something I have learned to deal with because, to me, I am not a genius. I am a normal 14-year-old person doing college-level stuff."
Carson wants to get a doctorate, teach and test some of his ideas.

Sadly, he will be run off campus by SJWs for "acting white..."

If he is driven out of academia, he'll be snatched up by private industry... and his younger brother, too. His brother has benefitted by his experience -- he is graduating from high school at the age of ten, according to the source article linked at the link.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Egyptian member of parliament Ghada Ajami announced she is preparing to propose a draft law to punish those who conceive more than three children.
She confirmed to Al Arabiya that the draft law would be submitted to parliament within days and which stipulates "punishing those who have more than three children from enjoying government treatment and public services".
"That will include free education in government schools or obtaining subsidized goods from the government," she added.
She added that Egypt's drastic increase in population is consuming most of the development revenues.
"Egypt sees a population reaching 100 million people despite the decline in the rate of economic growth, which leads to increased burdens on the state and lack of services and take all the resources of the country," Ajami told Al Arabiya.

It depends on the parents, and on the children. My mother thoroughly enjoyed deliberately having four in four years, and we enjoyed one another.
Egypt's birth rate had fallen to slightly above 3, then rose with the fortunes of the Muslim Brotherhood , per the CIA World Factbook. This ordinance would punish the Islamists, primarily the Muslim Brotherhood:
Egypt is the most populous country in the Arab world and the third most populous country in Africa, behind Nigeria and Ethiopia. Most of the country is desert, so about 95% of the population is concentrated in a narrow strip of fertile land along the Nile River, which represents only about 5% of Egypt’s land area. Egypt’s rapid population growth – 46% between 1994 and 2014 – stresses limited natural resources, jobs, housing, sanitation, education, and health care.
Although the country’s total fertility rate (TFR) fell from roughly 5.5 children per woman in 1980 to just over 3 in the late 1990s, largely as a result of state-sponsored family planning programs, the population growth rate dropped more modestly because of decreased mortality rates and longer life expectancies. During the last decade, Egypt’s TFR decline stalled for several years and then reversed, reaching 3.6 in 2011, and has plateaued the last few years. Contraceptive use has held steady at about 60%, while preferences for larger families and early marriage may have strengthened in the wake of the recent 2011 revolution. The large cohort of women of or nearing childbearing age will sustain high population growth for the foreseeable future (an effect called population momentum).
[Iran Press TV] The United States and Japan have called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... Security Council over North Korea's latest missile test, amid tensions between Washington and Pyongyang.
On Sunday, Washington and Tokyo asked the council to convene an urgent meeting a few hours after South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff announced that Pyongyang had launched a ballistic missile earlier in the day, the second missile firing in two weeks.
The missile test, however, was the first since South Korea's new President Moon Jae-In came to power with the promise of reducing tensions with the North.

[DW] With purges intensifying, rich Turks are mopping up real estate in Greece. Old tensions may loom, but the incentive for secular Turks is sweet: visa-free stay in an EU member state.
A lanky man in a bright red shirt paces across a wood-paneled waiting room. He peers out of the window, then plops into a comfy black chair, bouncing back up again within minutes to place a string of telephone calls, pacing the room once again.
Unnerved by the presence of a news hound, the lanky man shies away from any conversation, refusing to divulge his name and details of his family and their whereabouts.

[Breitbart] WARSAW, Poland (AP) ‐ Warsaw’s mayor has unveiled a monument to a World War II hero who volunteered to go to Auschwitz and informed firsthand on the atrocities there but later was killed by the communist regime.
The memorial for Capt. Witold Pilecki is located near the place where in 1940 he let himself be caught by the occupying Nazi Germans. It was a step toward becoming an inmate of the Auschwitz death camp.
Pilecki’s descendants joined hundreds of Warsaw residents and authorities at the ceremony Saturday. Survived the Nazis, Auschwitz, the Warsaw uprising, but was unable to survive the Communists.

[DailyCaller] Conservative author Ann Coulter was one of the most vocal supporters of Donald Trump during the presidential campaign.
She wrote "In Trump We Trust" and proclaimed that she worships him like the "people of North Korea worship their Dear Leader ‐ blind loyalty."
Coulter described herself as a single-issue voter during the election and was drawn to Trump due to his "Mexican rapist speech" and him calling for a border wall to be built.
In an interview Sunday with The Daily Caller, Coulter let it be known she still has hope in the Trump presidency, but is ready to jump ship.

It amazes me how so many people just expect for everything Trump said he was going to do, was just going to happen as soon as he stepped foot into the office. Kinda hard to do when every pice of shit in Washington and on tv is fighting you with every breathe on every issue.x

Many accept the reality that he can ask or even demand, but the purse strings are held by Congress.
[Detroit Free Press] WASHINGTON -- Pvt. Chelsea Manning, the transgender soldier and convicted national security secret leaker, will remain an active-duty, unpaid soldier, eligible for health care and other benefits, following her scheduled release May 17 from military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, according to the Army.
Manning entered prison as a man named Bradley. Manning changed her name, identified as a woman and received hormone treatment while incarcerated. Her sentence was commuted in the final days of the Obama administration, a move that infuriated some in the military and President Trump.
While Manning’s court-martial conviction remains under appeal, she will remain a private in the Army, said Dave Foster, an Army spokesman. As an active duty soldier, Manning will continue to receive health care and have access to commissaries and military exchanges, but she will not be paid.
"Pvt. Manning is statutorily entitled to medical care while on excess leave in an active duty status, pending final appellate review," Foster said.

The likely goal is to no doubt one day make this person Sergeant Major of The Army (SMA). Evil and debauchery has surely been elevated to entirely new levels.
And to the poor old veteran waiting in line for treatment, what is he told ?

Unpaid active duty...and do military hospitals provide sex change hormone support, or will the current refill be the last? All sorts of President Obama's pen & phone orders have been quietly reversed while the left was hyperventilating about the latest Trump tweet.
[Last Refuge] Good grief. NBC’s Chuck Toad spent two-thirds of his interview opportunity with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson asking repeated questions about the preferred Democrat narrative known as the ‘Muh Russian conspiracy’.
However, Tillerson did have the opportunity to push back against Senator John McCain’s ridiculous attacks against Secretary T-Rex. Anyone who watched the T-Rex talk to the State Department on May 3rd can fully understand the context of Tillerson’s outline of distinction between “U.S. policies” and “U.S. Values”. If you haven’t watched or read the speech you should, SEE HERE.
Senator John McCain was furious that Secretary Tillerson would not accept the McCain/Powers “Responsibility to Protect” doctrine which mandates U.S. foreign policy as interventionist around the globe. Senator McCain wrote an op-ed opposing Tillerson and demanding that U.S. policy must include creating more wars around the world.
