Illegally crossing the border is a criminal offense, but asylum is a matter for
civil courts. And that is where change is most needed, says David Iglesias, a
Wheaton College professor who prosecuted many criminal cases between 2001 and
2007 as U.S. attorney for the District of New Mexico. “The laws haven’t
caught up,” says Iglesias, director of the Wheaton Center for Faith,
Politics and Economics. Some people seeking asylum might not meet the legal
requirements when it comes to race, religion, nationality, political opinion or
membership in a particular social group, but they still have a well-founded
fear of persecution due to gangs or violence in their homeland, Iglesias said.
Asylum is granted unevenly. Statistics from 2015 show that New York City
immigration judges denied 16 percent of asylum requests, while judges in
Atlanta denied 98 percent.)

— Why an anti-Ocasio-Cortez chant at a Trump rally was all but inevitable –
Philip Bump (DIERSEN: Since 1999, I have the best record by far for attending
Milton Township Republican Central Committee (MTRCC) meetings and fundraisers.
Of course, my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who are
MTRCC members would love to get anti-Diersen chants going at MTRCC meetings and

your demographics? From what I see, the more of the following that you are, the
more that employers do NOT target you in their ads: Trump supporter,
Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older,
rich, gun owner, German American, draft avoider, and/or if your ancestors have
been in America for a long time.)
https://www.dispatch.com/news/20190329/targeted-ads-have-facebook-in-trouble-with-hud (FROM THE ARTICLE: The
federal government charged Facebook with high-tech housing discrimination
Thursday for allegedly allowing landlords and real estate brokers to
systematically exclude groups such as non-Christians, immigrants and minorities
from seeing ads for houses and apartments. . .Just last week, Facebook agreed
to overhaul its targeting system and abandon some of the practices singled out
by HUD to prevent discrimination, not just in housing listings but in credit
and employment ads as well. The move was part of a settlement with the American
Civil Liberties Union and other activists.)

clear many obstacles for me. Neither of them attended college. My father died
suddenly in 1969 when he was 47 and I was 21. He was the first of his ancestors
to earn a high school diploma. He worked in the office of a nasty chemical
plant. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. He did
not buy a new car until he was 47, and it was a bottom-of-the-line 2-door

— Why pay transparency alone won’t eliminate the persistent wage gap between
men and women – Nancy Modesitt (DIERSEN: If I had been a woman, the federal
government would have promoted me into its Senior Executive Service long before
I was 40 years old. I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21
in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b)
job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48,
and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32.) https://phys.org/news/2019-03-transparency-wont-persistent-wage-gap.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: The
federal workforce, where the pay gap is significantly lower than in the private
sector, can also be seen as support for the argument that pay transparency
helps reduce it. The federal wage gap ranges from about 4 percent to 9 percent,
when controlling for relevant factors that affect pay, compared with 8 percent
to 18 percent among all employers.)

— Illinois Democrats Offer Relief From Deduction Cap, But Not Repeal Lawmakers
who won GOP-held seats want to increase $10,000 cap on state and local tax
deduction – Richard Rubin (DIERSEN: Trump should increase the $10,000 SALT cap
to $20,000 for married filing jointly.) https://www.wsj.com/articles/illinois-democrats-offer-relief-from-deduction-cap-but-not-repeal-11553805167 (FROM THE ARTICLE:
Republicans imposed the $10,000 cap as part of the 2017 tax law, which also cut
tax rates, doubled the child tax credit and sharply narrowed the alternative
minimum tax. Most taxpayers, even in high-tax states, received tax cuts, but
the cap still proved unpopular with suburban voters. That provision contributed
to GOP election losses in high-tax states such as New York, New Jersey,
California and Illinois, where Mr. Casten defeated Rep. Peter Roskam, a chief
author of the tax law.)

HARTFORD COURANT
— Despite a good law, age discrimination is still common – JOE CARBONE (DIERSEN: All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote age discrimination a) because they want to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) because they want to curry favor with those who promote age discrimination.) https://www.courant.com/opinion/op-ed/hc-op-carbone-age-discrimination-0324-20190324-5abuapcslbbdhm5xxbr64weo3i-story.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: Research from AARP indicates that nearly two out of three workers age 45 and older have seen or experienced age discrimination on the job. While few doubt its existence, even skeptics acknowledge that it’s unlike the age discrimination of the past. This class of discrimination is subtle, seemingly invisible — but it has gone viral. There are scores of economists and political leaders who see it as the latest inevitable fallout from the Great Recession. To be fair, technology, for all its benefits, must share some blame. Search engines do the work for you, which sometimes produces hundreds of applicants, which totally overwhelms most human resources departments. Data make it painfully clear that the insidious practice of stereotyping based on age has become a cultural norm — and shamefully, it’s flourishing. When I turned 50, I was shocked to receive a greeting letter from AARP, realizing this marked a new stage in life. Now at age 50, individuals in the job market are subject to a value comparison with younger generations. A common first step in the applicant review process is to determine age without asking. Many times, an unsuspecting job applicant will list their graduation year, use a chronological resume or an email account format that becomes a giveaway for their age. Conventional wisdom in talent search is to go younger. Some employers, perhaps many, assume that millennials will have better tech skills and little to no interest in retirement or even health benefits. So, younger folks have the advantage. This is classic stereotyping, it’s unfair, it’s wrong and it will prove in short order to have been a strategic mistake.)
