The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that most voters don’t want any of the young illegal immigrants who’ve recently arrived here housed in their state. 
 
59% of likely U.S. voters believe the primary focus of any new immigration legislation passed by Congress should be to send the young illegal immigrants back home as quickly as possible, and any legislation passed by Congress to deal with the problem should focus on doing that. Only 27% say it should focus instead on making it easier for these illegal immigrants to remain in the United States.
 
At the same time, Brett Molina of USA Today, reports that Microsoft confirmed it will cut up to 18,000 jobs over the next year, part of the tech titan's efforts to streamline its business under new CEO Satya Nadella.
 
However, although the immigrant influx is overwhelming, the U.S. job market isn’t really improving in regard to skilled positions, and the overall economy’s shrinking, Tony Lee of Breitbart writes that: “Bill Gates, along with Sheldon Adelson and Warren Buffett, advocated removing "the worldwide cap on the number of visas that could be awarded to legal immigrants who had earned a graduate degree in science, technology, engineering or mathematics from an accredited institution of higher education in the United States."
 
Thus, I guess, when you have multi-billions of your own, it really doesn’t mater what other U.S. citizens face economically. According to these three guys, we should attract foreigners, teach then in our schools, and then step aside politely while they take our jobs. Which make one wonder where in the world people learn to think like that. 
 
Another aspect of how people think is found in an item from Fox News on-line regarding the Malaysia downed jetliner that asks: “How did President Ronald Reagan handle a similar situation in the summer of 1983?
 
Megyn Kelly and Chris Stirewalt discussed the incident, noting that Reagan didn’t speak publicly on the subject for four days. He then “spoke with gravity from the Oval Office in a primetime address when he did.”
 
In comparison: The incumbent’s “endless talking, his endless fundraising, his endless effort to control every 15 minutes of every news cycle saps him of the ability to speak with authority and resolution when he needs to,” Stirewalt said.
 
Mr. Stirewalt’s observation hits home because it echo’s something that’s been written about here just about daily for the past four years. Whereas, the incumbent’s administration does practically nothing regardless of the subject, except for speechmaking, fund raising, vacationing to luxurious spots and playing golf.
 
Which brings us to what appears to be the biggest step yet toward unwinding the global warming farce.
 
Bloomberg’s Jason Scott and Mike Anderson report that: “Australia’s decision to repeal its levy limiting fossil-fuel pollution makes it the first nation to turn back from a market approach to fighting global warming.”
 
The prime minister, in 2009, called climate science “absolute crap” and approved dredging of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. However he denied his government is anti-environment.
 
“Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s government won final approval from Parliament yesterday to scrap a levy about 300 companies paid for their carbon dioxide emissions. The move leaves Australia, the largest polluter per capita among industrial nations, without a system for reducing greenhouse gases as it prepares to host a meeting of the Group of 20 nations.”
 
AlGore jumped on the decision, saying, “Repeal of Australia’s carbon price was a disappointing step for a country that continues to experience the worsening consequences of the climate crisis. Australia has been a longtime world leader in the effort to halt global warming.”  
 
And while that was going on, Alex Sosnowski of Accuweather.com wrote that, “More records were broken on Thursday across the central and southern portions of the United States as autumn-like air maintained its grip on the eastern half of the country.
 
More temperature records are likely to fall on Friday from the southern Plains to the Southeast with daytime temperatures not rising out of the 70s.”
 
Therefore, while Australians come to their senses, realizing that climate science can do very little, if anything, to dissuade Mother Nature from doing what she pleases, AlGore, Bill Gates and his friends keep on trying to sell the public on ideas important to them despite hard facts proving the opposite. Because in all of their cases, that’s where the money is.
 
That's it for today folks.
 
Adios
