Some time ago, I was with my kids as I went to get myself checked at a clinic due to my cough. After my checkup, I had to buy the meds that the doctor prescribed and had no choice but to bring my eldest son with me as I went inside Watson’s Pharmacy to purchase them.

You know how Pharmacy’s here have a lot of displays on their cashier counters? They would have anything and everything displayed near the cashier especially batteries, hand sanitizers, mints and gums, lip balms, and in Watson’s case, tons and tons of condoms of different brands.

Turtles ForeverI don’t know about you, but I’m a big TMNT fan. Well, not big enough to make me collect the comics and have Turtle-themed pillowcases to sleep on every night that honor is reserved solely for Batman, but you get my drift. I did, however, wear TMNT sneakers it’s green, with the soles pattered after their shells and it’s got a freaking pump! and I ate that cereal that turned the milk green. Yes, I thought it was a good idea back then.Anyway, what I really mean to say is I saw the much-awaited made-for-DVD movie, Turtles Forever. And I fucking loved it.

I am so in love with Pepper Lunch’s Beef Pepper Rice. But its not possible (or practical) to dine out there everyday so I did my best to try and create my own version of a dish that is made out of Beef slices, rice, and a lot of pepper. It was a challenge to exactly replicate the appearance even the taste of the dish that came over from the Japanese but it was something that satisfied my craving. I used thick strips of beef as that was what we had available so for next time, I will make sure to buy super thin slices (like bacon) for my next beef pepper rice.

Hand over is not a nice word. It brings up images of betrayal. For example, Judas handed Jesus over to the Jewish religious leaders and these in turn handed Jesus over to the Pilate. But if we look at the other side of the coin, the expression “hand over” does have wonderful stories to tell. (Christ the King)

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Assistant Secretary John Morton today announced the issuance of Notices of Inspection (NOIs) to 1,000 employers across the country associated with critical infrastructure—alerting business owners that ICE will audit their

hiring records to determine compliance with employment eligibility verification laws.

“ICE is focused on finding and penalizing employers who believe they can unfairly get ahead by

cultivating illegal workplaces,” said Assistant Secretary Morton. “We are increasing criminal and

civil enforcement of immigration-related employment laws and imposing smart, tough employer

sanctions to even the playing field for employers who play by the rules.”

The 1,000 businesses served with audit notices this week were selected for inspection as a result of

investigative leads and intelligence and because of the business’ connection to public safety and

national security—for example, privately owned critical infrastructure and key resources. The names

and locations of the businesses will not be released at this time due to the ongoing, law enforcement

sensitive nature of these audits.

Audits involve a comprehensive review of Form I-9s, which employers are required to complete and

retain for each individual hired in the United States. I-9 forms require employers to review and

record each individual’s identity and work eligibility document(s) and determine whether the

document(s) reasonably appear to be genuine and related to that specific individual.

Protecting employment opportunities for the nation’s lawful workforce and targeting employers who

knowingly employ an illegal workforce are major ICE priorities, for which ICE employs all

available civil and administrative tools, including audits. Audits may result in civil penalties and lay

the groundwork for criminal prosecution of employers who knowingly violate the law.

In April, DHS issued updated worksite enforcement guidance emphasizing ICE’s major enforcement

priorities—specifically focusing on dangerous criminal aliens and employers who cultivate illegal

workplaces by breaking the country’s laws and knowingly hiring illegal workers. In this strategy,

ICE identified form I-9 audits as the most important administrative tool in building criminal cases

and bringing employers into compliance with the law.

Should anyone receive an inspection notice, it is imperative that you contact an immigration attorney immediately to verify compliance. We believe that ICE has picked this week specifically because many people will be away on vacation and they will take company’s by surprise. BE PREPARED, BE READY, AND BE VIGILANT. THE ICE MEN COMETH!

ICE Announces 1,000 New Workplace Audits

http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=30601

From the United States to Zimbabwe to Indonesia to the Philippines, CNN acknowledges ordinary people with extraordinary impact in its search for this year’s “Hero of the year.” Filipino Efren Peñaflorida, 28 is among the Top 10 contenders vying for the special recognition.

Efren has been making a huge difference in the lives of street kids in Manila, Philippines for the last 12 years. “Peñaflorida and his team of teen volunteers have taught basic reading and writing to children living on the streets. Their main tool: A pushcart classroom.” What he has accomplished in his young age giving back is truly remarkable if not indeed heroic.

This is sort of a last-minute plea to all readers! I just received the email from my sis in the UK and I’ve never heard of CNN’s ongoing search. To think that it started in early February! Goes to show, I am not a CNN follower.

The director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said Friday that the agency is seriously considering increasing fees for immigration benefits amid a major budget shortfall.

Alejandro Mayorkas, the director of USCIS, said in an interview with the Houston Chronicle that a fee increase is considered a last resort, but is still “probable” considering the agency’s steep drop-off in revenue last year and dismal projections for 2010.

A set of hefty fee increases by immigration officials two years ago sparked widespread criticism by immigrant advocates, who charged that steep hikes could price some immigrants out of citizenship and other immigration benefits.

USCIS, which relies heavily on fees paid by immigrants, closed the 2009 fiscal year with a $164 million shortfall after a sharp decline in immigration benefit applications.

The agency also is reviewing possible cost-cutting measures, including layoffs, Mayorkas said, adding that those, too, would be considered a last resort.

“Our overhead, our costs, need to be reduced,” he said. “There exists the possibility that we may have to seek a fee increase. We’re considering all the options.”

Immigration benefit applications dropped off sharply after the 2007 fee increase, and talk of another cost hike is worrying immigrant advocates in Houston, particularly in the midst of the economic downturn.

“With the economy the way it is, if the fees continue to go up, you’ll see a lot of people struggling to make ends meet and get that status,” said Cesar Espinosa, executive director of the Houston-based immigrant advocacy group America For All. “A lot of people are discouraged from applying for citizenship just because they can’t afford it.”

Citizenship costs more
In July 2007, the cost of processing a citizenship application increased from $330 to $595, plus an $80 fingerprinting fee. At the same time, the cost of a green card application including biometrics rose from $325 to more than $1,000 with the fingerprinting charge.

In the months before the fee increases took effect, USCIS reported a sharp increase in the number of immigration applications. The agency processed more than 1 million citizenship applications in 2008, but that number dropped off significantly last fiscal year, to about 733,000.

“We are very mindful of the fact that two years ago, fees were increased dramatically,” Mayorkas said, adding that he is aware that the fees can be “difficult to bear” for many immigration applicants.

Mayorkas added that since the last fee hike was implemented, the agency significantly reduced application processing times, a frequent point of criticism. The agency is now processing naturalization applications within five months nationally, and within about three in Houston, according to USCIS data.

For fiscal year 2010, USCIS received a $55 million general appropriation from Congress — not including funding designated for specific programs, such as citizenship grants or the E-Verify electronic employment verification system, Mayorkas said. He was unable to pinpoint the projected shortfall for 2010 on Friday, but said it was anticipated to top $100 million.

It’s bad timing
Mayorkas acknowledged that the timing of the agency’s financial woes is unfortunate, considering that talks are under way in Washington, D.C., about the prospects for a comprehensive immigration reform bill next year.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano on Friday reiterated the Obama administration’s commitment to seeking a legalization program in 2010 for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., which would increase USCIS’ workload exponentially.

Mayorkas said the agency has started to prepare for the possibility of a massive legalization by improving its ability to capture fingerprints at application centers across the country, and by redesigning USCIS’ Web site to be fully bilingual, among other measures.

Mayorkas, who met with community leaders in Houston Friday afternoon, said he plans to discuss the possible fee increases with leaders of immigrant communities across the country, noting that he does not intend to make a unilateral decision.

“It is a difficult decision, and a decision that warrants the involvement of a number of different constituencies,” he said.
