“All credible research finds the same evidence about the STEM workforce: ample supply, stagnant wages and, by industry accounts, thousands of applicants for any advertised job. The real concern should be about the dim employment prospects for our best STEM graduates: The National Institutes of Health, for example, has developed a program to help new biomedical Ph.D.s find alternative careers in the face of “unattractive” job prospects in the field,” says Hal Salzman in US News<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Opportunities for engineers vary by the field and economic cycle \u2013 as oil exploration has increased, so has demand (and salaries) for petroleum engineers, resulting in a near tripling of petroleum engineering graduates. In contrast, average wages in the IT industry are the same as those that prevailed when Bill Clinton was president despite industry cries of a “shortage.” Overall, U.S. colleges produce twice the number of STEM graduates annually as find jobs in those fields.”<\/p>\n “In one classroom monitored by security cameras, third- and fourth-graders read in Spanish from a short story about mice. On an artificial turf soccer field in the courtyard, seventh-, eighth- and ninth-graders play a raucous kickball game \u2014 ignoring the high walls and surrounding 15-foot gate,” CBS News says<\/a>.<\/p>\n “For about 200 immigrant children who fled to the United States with their mothers \u2014 mostly from Central America \u2014 it is another school day, except that they are housed in a federal immigration jail and risk possible deportation.<\/p>\n “The strategists who base their political advice on public opinion polls have just had a surprise. A new poll reports that the American people are now more likely to trust Republicans to handle immigration and less likely to trust Democratic plans to offer illegals a path to citizenship (aka amnesty). Many people have believed this for some time. But it is now confirmed in a poll taken by the pro-amnesty Wall Street Journal, so it must be so,” says Phyliss Schlafly<\/a>.<\/p>\n “The new survey is decisive; 35 percent say the Republican Party would do a better job on immigration while only 27 percent say the Democrats would. That’s a dramatic reversal from the previous year.”<\/p>\n “About 115,000 people will lose their Obamacare health coverage at the end of the month because the government doesn’t have proof of their citizenship or immigration status. But Andy Slavitt, the principal deputy administrator of CMS, also said that their coverage could be restored, effective Oct. 1, if people submit the needed documentation. They would be able to sign up during a “special enrollment” period,” Politico reported<\/a>. Detained Minors Start Schooling<\/h3>\n
