“Do not fear them; remember the Lord who is great and fearsome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.” Neh. 4:14
Politicians are all drawn to foreign countries because they seem exciting and exotic. You think John Cornyn wants to go talk about water issues in Lubbock?
Please. He’s a senator. He wants a red carpet trip to Delhi.
The H-1B flywheel: one worker gets H-1B, the spouse gets H-4, that spouse starts an LLC that files more H-1Bs and each new worker can start the same cycle.
Your kid needs 8 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to become a resident doctor.
High School → 4 years college → 4 years medical school → Residency
Meanwhile, someone from India, Pakistan, or Sudan can finish a 5-year program after high school, come to US on H-1B/J-1 visa, and take the same residency.
High School → 5 years medical school → Residency
Why is it easier for them to become US doctors, and so much harder for our kids?
Tony’s open-records request has unearthed some interesting finds.
“Immigration Enforcement” is a search policy that can be enabled or disabled for a Flock camera network. When enabled, Flock says searches it identifies as being related to immigration enforcement are blocked from accessing that network’s camera data.
“Reproductive Health” is another toggleable search policy. Same concept: searches Flock identifies as related to reproductive-care enforcement can be prevented from hitting that network’s cameras. Which raises a pretty obvious question: what exactly is Flock looking at to determine that a license-plate search is about reproductive health? I didn’t think cars could reproduce.
Agencies are entering DOBs and SSN-format numbers directly into search reasons. What exactly does the data schema for a Flock search look like? What information about a person, vehicle and investigation is stored with each query and where does that information go?
Case number is blank on many of the searches. Flock has historically allowed case numbers to be optional, although it says it is moving toward requiring case codes. If a search is part of legitimate police work, shouldn’t there be some unique case identifier tying it back to the actual investigation?
The more of these records we get, the less this looks like “just a license-plate camera.”
Where are all the libs on this?
