Walmart CEO Offers Jobs to Vets While Company Pushes for Amnesty and More Foreign Workers

Walmart CEO Offers Jobs to Vets While Company Pushes for Amnesty and More Foreign Workers

walmart in st helens oregon, 97051 has promotional displays for mericans at their entrance- about wiring money to mexico etc- they have hired several mexicans to work at their store too. One of them , is a mexican anchor baby who has had a baby by a black male. Typical demographics for Columbia county. One of the problems with Vets though, is that illegal aliens were given green cards if they enlisted in the Iraq war. Military recruiters went to the barrios of California and said we will give you and your families green cards and cash if you enlist. So the Vets may really be illegal aliens.

In honor of Veterans Day earlier this week, Walmart CEO, Bill Simon, announced that his company would help put veterans returning from the Middle East back to work. However, Walmart has pushed all year for passage of a comprehensive amnesty bill that would double annual legal immigration numbers and grant amnesty with work permits to more than 11 million illegal aliens.

Simon wrote:

As more than one million service members prepare to transition out of the military over the next five years, their number one concern is jobs. The unemployment rate for post-9/11 veterans alone is unacceptably high. The time to hire veterans is now.

Many companies have recognized this, with Starbucks most recently announcing their commitment to hire 10,000 veterans over the next five years. Every company in America has benefitted from the service and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform. If you do business in America and need to build your team, we hope you'll consider veterans. They will bring unparalleled skills, knowledge and experience to your business.

However, it seems that other parts of his corporation don't realize this.  After the passage of the Gang of Eight amnesty, Walmart posted the following statement on their website:

“We applaud the action taken by the Senate in passing this landmark legislation and believe comprehensive immigration reform will have a positive impact on the economy and the customers we serve.

“As the nation’s largest employer and a retailer that offers products and services to 140 million customers each week, we are committed to working with all interested parties – policy makers, employers, and consumers – to support this reform that is so desperately needed to our immigration system.

“We now encourage members of the House to continue the momentum so we can make comprehensive immigration reform a reality.”

While Walmart is happy to provide jobs for returning vets, it is doing all it can to push for "comprehensive immigration reform." The Senate bill, if signed by President Obama, would double the number of permanent work permits over ten years and give work permits to at least 11 million illegal aliens.

With its offer to give an unlimited number of veterans jobs, Walmart is admitting that many Americans need jobs and there isn't a need for "comprehensive immigration reform." However, it hasn't stopped pushing for it.

Hillsboro's lone charter school is by far the least affected by poverty

City View Charter School, shown above, is the least-affected school in Hillsboro by poverty, by a margin of 10 percentage points. (Ross William Hamilton / The Oregonian (file photo))

 Once again White Legal Americans Have to apologize for not having enough illegal aliens from Mexico in their school.

 Poverty and Disavantaged mean Mexicans, Mexicans belong in Mexico not in our public schools and I am glad Americans are leaving the public schools behind to home school

Under “Frequently Asked Questions,” the website for Hillsboro’s City View Charter School says, “On average, we reflect the demographics of the city of Hillsboro in race and income level.” But that’s not true, according to the Oregon Department of Education’s school report card data.

Only 6 percent of City View students are economically disadvantaged, the data says. The next-lowest is Jackson Elementary School at 16 percent, and schools like Mooberry andLincoln Street elementary schools have over 95 percent poverty rates.

The poverty rate across Hillsboro, according to the United States Census Bureau, was 11.8 percent from 2007 to 2011.

The school is another example of a statewide trend for charters. The Oregonian’s Betsy Hammond reported last month that Oregon’s least diverse elementary schools are all charters. In Hillsboro, only Jackson has fewer English Language Learners than City View, and only two schools – Patterson and North Plains elementary schools – have a higher percentage of white students. City View and Jackson are both 70 percent white, while the district average is 49 percent.

 read the above paragraph- half the students are not white, which means illegal aliens. "least diverse" means fewer mexicans and foriegn students 

Proponents of charter schools say they give families another choice apart from default public school systems. City View, which serves kindergarten through eighth grade, is indeed open to everyone through a lottery system, but transportation and hot lunch is not provided. So parents who can’t arrange to get their kids to school without a school bus, or who can’t provide lunch for their children every day, aren’t left with much of a choice.

“A lot of it has to do with the lottery system, as well,” said City View Office Specialist Becky Mills. “We’re capped at 216 students…We don’t have a high turnover rate with our students, so you either have to be a sibling of a current student, or it’s luck of the draw.”

The school’s waiting list was at 288 people last month, City View Board President Larry Thompson said at an Oct. 22 Hillsboro School Board meeting. Preferential treatment is given to siblings of current students.

“A lot of times, charter schools have to go wherever they can find the space,” Mills said. The school is currently housed within Alliance Bible Church on Southeast Bentley Street, which is not served by a district school bus line.

City View scored a “Level 3” on its state report card, meaning it was between the 16th and 44th percentiles statewide. However, it also was rated “below average” compared to schools with similar demographics. The ratings are based on performance on state test scores and the changes in those scores from year to year.

Erik Seligman, one of the new members on the district school board, has been a proponent of charter schools and sparked a debate at a meeting earlier this year when he attempted to bring a resolution that would welcome more charter school applications. The resolution never came to a vote.

Legal Oregonians Get Medical Canceled but Illegals get Free Medical in Oregon - No Co pay !

Illegal Aliens get free medical- but not Americans

Last week, Scott Grout called his health insurance company to “confirm all was good for 2014” and he could keep his plan.

No such luck.But Illegal Aliens pregnant etc get free medical and prescriptions in Oregon - under Obama Regime, just not Legal Working Americans

“They informed me that my current plan will be canceled,” said Grout, who lives in Portland. “They sent no notice of this. I pro-actively called and was told that I was to be auto-rolled onto a much more expensive plan.”

Grout is one of 145,000 Oregonians who buy health coverage on the individual market and have received cancellation notices in recent weeks. Their policies don’t meet the Affordable Care Act’s more robust coverage requirements, which go into effect in January.

For the most part, insurers are mapping people into new plans, so they won’t be without coverage come Jan. 1.

But many of them may end up paying more for these new plans. A lot depends on the level of coverage they had before. Those on high deductible plans will likely see their premiums rise, since the ACA caps out-of-pocket expenses and requires insurers to offer 10 essential benefits.

Grout used to pay $305 a month for his family of four and the plan covered all preventive care and 65 percent of out-of-pocket expenses. The cheapest new plan he could find through Cover Oregon costs $648 a month, with only 50 percent of expenses covered.

Many policies he saw cost north of $1,000. Grout, an investor in tech startups, makes too much to qualify for a subsidy (in order to qualify, he’d have to make $94,000 or less for his size family).

Grout basically wants a catastrophic policy, but that’s no longer possible under the Affordable Care Act (unless you’re in your 20s).

“We’ll most likely adopt a new bronze plan,” he said. “You really have to have coverage. It’s the right thing to do.”

Ossina Bien, a Portland nurse who is currently a stay-at-home mom, said her PacificSource plan costs $374 a month for herself and two kids (her husband is on a separate plan). But that's going up to $538 a month, plus another $60 a month for the kids' dental. Her yearly out of pocket is also rising by more than $5,000.

"My eyes are popping," Bien said "I'm very upset. This is ridiculous. I've been able to afford health insurance and now I can't. It's supposed to be the Affordable Care Act."

She is planning to fill out a lengthy application and send it to Cover Oregon, which is currently processing applications by hand because the online site isn't fully functional.

"I have no other choice," Bien said. "I can't have a six year old and a three year old without health insurance."

Tom Keffer, a 61-year-old retiree who lives in Hood River, is also reeling from some sticker shock.

“I’m unable to continue a policy I had for a decade,” Keffer said. “I’ve been forced onto the market again.”

He was paying $330 a month, with a $5,000 deductible through Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oregon. The new plan he’d roll over to costs $630 a month and he’d be restricted in which providers he could choose. So he’s opted to go with a $530-a-month plan from Providence Health Plan.

One question that Grout and Keffer would like answered is why prices are going up when various cost-savings measures under health reform should be pushing them the other direction, including more emphasis on preventive care and reducing ER visits.

“A doubling like this just doesn’t feel right,” Grout said

Columbia County Jail Levy Fails

I was surprised it didn't pass, even with all the anarchists living here, common sense, I thought would prevail.  

 As to ICE and illegal aliens, there never was any enforcement of immigration laws in this county,as far as I can see.

 I know a man who has had an open warrent for several years, he lives a few blocks from the Saint Helens police station. I called the courthouse so they could arrest him, the woman who answered became angry and said due to budget cutbacks they couldn't be bothered. So why did they arrest him in the first place?

Nickerson, Rossetti set to join Longview School Board

The Longview School Board will have two new members come January.Read more

The Columbia County Jail is on shaky ground following voters’ landslide rejection Tuesday of a four-year, nearly $10 million levy to keep the jail solvent and expand the number of inmates incarcerated there.

The levy, which needed a simple majority to pass, lost with 5,878 no votes (58.56 percent) to 4,160 yes votes (41.44 percent).

Columbia County Sheriff Jeff Dickerson said he’s prepared to “implement the will of the voters,” but the county may no longer afford to operate the jail and may have to send inmates out of county.

“It is a choice for the people who live in the county what kind of criminal justice system they want to have,” Dickerson said. “Without a local jail, a key anchor to the system (is missing).”

The levy would have raised $2.4 million a year and cost the owner of a $150,000 home an additional $86 per year in property taxes. The county would have used to money to expand the number of local inmates it houses to 100, up from about 25, by paying for five additional corrections deputies and two other jail staffers. Dickerson said the county releases scores of inmates early each month because it can’t afford to feed and supervise them.

The jail has capacity for 255 prisoners, and much of the space is leased to the federal government to house federal prisoners. The feds pay the county about $3.8 million annually. Nevertheless, Dickerson said the county needed new revenues in addition to the $3.5 million the county general fund already contributes to running the lockup.

Opponents of the levy said the property taxes would be too expensive had the levy passed.

“They probably need that (levy) to support the jail, but what are we going to do in another four years? Ask for another levy?” said Nancy Whitney, a member of a levy opposition group called Keep Prisoners in Jail. She suggested that the county should charge the federal government more for its prisoners.

Dickerson said he doesn’t know how much longer the jail will remain solvent, but he will meet with county commissioners on how to move forward.

Should the jail close, inmates may be transported to the Yamhill County Jail in McMinnville, Ore., or Polk County Jail in Dallas, Ore., both of which are nearly two hours away from St. Helens, Dickerson said.

“(The jail) is not sustainable at its current funding. How we get there and how soon we get there is a function of many variables,” Dickerson said.

“It would depend on how staff reacted. We’re below minimum staffing right now, if we lose more people to other agencies..

McCormick Apartments: The Real Columbia County Saint Helens

 McCormick Apartments: Old Portland Road, Saint Helens Oregon

 The Real Columbia County,the one no one talks about. Lucas, the owner, is an attorney, the son of a local attorney, who have law offices a block from the courthouse in Saint He lens Oregon.

 Lucas rents to whoever  shows up with the cash, so many felons etc and out of towners move here because no questions are asked.  NOHA, Community Action and the electric company know about his reputation, but nothing happens, it remains year in year out as a place where the poor are harassed and criminals get a foot hold in the county. Spies, constant evictions, security cameras.
 The Owner lives in Palm Springs most of the year and uses the poor to act as spies. It's mostly about torture and revenge. Down at the Couthouse , the one that has Ted Grove as a judge, there is a sign saying Lucas Lucas, a special mailbox for  this landlord and his daddy, who actually kept two tenants from getting their security deposit back, by calling the judge long distance from California , stating that his car had broke down.

 Don't think  the rent is cheap, the landlords in Columbia County are charging high  rent, while ignoring  any laws that protect tenants. 

 The following is a review placed on the Internet: The spelling is bad but everything William says is right on the bounced rent check.

Foreign Mexican Gardeners Undercut Legal Americans Columbia County-Ramos' Yard Maintenance

 Latino is code word for illegal alien from Mexico.
The Chronicle Newspaper in St Helens Gives This company a high rating due to their market saturation of running the same ad for years in their crappy little paper. In other words, the Chronicle made a lot of money off of them.

  Enrique Ramos was an self-avowed  illegal alien ( see OPB Article 2009 below) who crossed into the US illegally and worked illegally for many years before he became legal. He then used his green card to import  his mexican male relatives.

.Are they here legally?  Contact Everify through Numbersusa and find out. 

A little bird told me that they weren't here legally and all I can say is the little bird said this advisedly and allegedly to me .

  In Columbia County we can count on zero enforcement of Immigration laws, which is why we now have many er..... mexican , I mean Hispanic., I mean Latino slums developing. 

They are not bonded or insured as far as their ad states, which is one reason they can get so much County business. The little team of Mexicans in Green Shirts can be seen all over Columbia County. 

 It's  a numbers game, for if they aren't paying our for health insurance or other things, they can work cheaper and out bid Legal Americans born in Columbia County.

  It is certainly not a company that promotes Diversity, our New Sacred Mantra that all Americans must embrace.A crew of all Mexicans, same color, size, age with one token White Male to avoid a discrimination lawsuit, that's not diversity.

Latino Organizers Planning Active Spring On Several Fronts

Oregon Latino organizers are thinking about several different goals this spring. Some are taking aim at boosting education funding, or the state-level restrictions on drivers' licensing. But the most intense organizing is directed at the federal government, and immigration policy.

Francisco Lopez   “One thing we are asking the Obama administration, is to stop the raids in the first hundred days of the administration.”
Francisco Lopez heads CAUSA, Oregon's immigrant rights coalition. He says a recent immigration raid at an engine shop in Bellingham, Washington sent a shock wave through the community.
Some who had campaigned for Barack Obama had counted on a more moderate policy this year, with less emphasis on arresting workers, and more on employers who give workers a reason to come to this country.
One of CAUSA's Lane County organizers, Guadalupe Quinn, is spending this week in Washington D.C., talking to staff for both Oregon Senators and two members of the state's Congressional delegation.
Guadalupe Quinn “We've actually come to talk about immigration but a couple of other issues.”

Like health care, the foreclosure crisis and its effect on Latino homeowners, and even some aspects of the stimulus package.
Guadalupe Quinn    “And realistically we're pretty much aware that with the economy he way it is that folks aren't going to be talking about or thinking about comprehensive immigration reform right now.”
But Quinn does see this as a golden opportunity to lay groundwork for immigration debates in the future. Half the job, she says, is just maintaining a presence with political leaders, and showing them Latinos are listening — people like Gretchen and Enrique Ramos. The Ramos' say they lived in St. Helens, Oregon for years without giving a second thought to organizing and coalitions.

Enrique Ramos: “I met Gretchen in a church like—five years ago.”

Gretchen Ramos: “We actually met through a friend.”

It wasn't long before the couple knew they wanted to get married. But there was a problem. Enrique came here illegally when he was nineteen.

Enrique Ramos:  “We want to make sure that we do the right thing.”

Gretchen Ramos:   “I did a bunch of research on how to do that. We actually hired our attorneys before we were married.”

Enrique decided to drop the successful landscaping business he'd started, go back to Mexico and apply for legal re-entry into the United States.

Two long and painful years later, he finally got a visa. But when he rejoined Gretchen and their baby son in St. Helens last October, he found himself in the middle of a nasty public argument.

Last fall, Columbia County voters debated and ultimately approved a ban on hiring illegal immigrants. While in the past, no one ever even asked Enrique about his legal status, these days, he says some people have made comments to him in public.

Enrique Ramos:  “Right now, some people scream, 'Hey, go back to Mexico!' You know?” (laugh)

Gretchen Ramos “Just hearing people when they talk, going into the stores in town, and they'll say 'Don't speak Spanish here'.  Just silly little things you never thought of before in this town.”

For the first time, the Ramos' say they felt they wanted to get political. They've been to a few marches, joined committees, and have started talking to friends about working to change things.
Oregon's Latino community hasn't often flexed its political muscles. One of the few manifestations can be found in Portland, where one year ago activists won over city council on the idea of a day labor hiring station.

On this lot, several dozen men are waiting and hoping they'll be called in a lottery for one of the city's few open construction jobs.

Site manager  “Tres-trente-uno, three-thirty-one….”

Here. prospective employers don't ask about immigration status.

While Oregon has nowhere near the population of a California or Texas, some organizers are optimistic about the future.  Lucilene Lira is an organizer with the Western States Center, which has been providing data and assistance to several left-leaning Latino groups throughout the state.

It's always been a dicey proposition convincing people to mobilize. Even people who are legal residents or citizens often have undocumented family members who they're unwilling to put at risk. But Lira says, the promise of change is drawing out Latinos in ways even the economic slump can't dampen.

Lucilene Lira  “I think in the beginning people are scared, especially with the raids. But I think when people have lost everything, there's no farther to go down in the trench, it's like all or nothing.”

If you count Oregon's Latino voters, as of today, the numbers aren't overwhelming. About 100,000 are eligible to register and vote. But that's only a fraction of the estimated 400,000 Latinos who live here.

Organizers are thinking in broad terms. They want to show that voting is only one tool in the political toolbox, and that people who've spent ten, fifteen, or twenty years in the region want a place at the table.

A CAUSA planning meeting in Salem last weekend drew 500 people who'll fan out in their communities spreading the word in weeks to come.

In addition to the national lobbying, a state political action day is in the works for Salem in mid-May.
