MPI has released a major study that describes and analyzes today's immigration enforcement programs, as they have developed and grown in the 25 years since IRCA launched the current enforcement era.
The event discussion, which touched on the intersection of race and immigration, focused on the demographics of Black immigrants (both African and Caribbean) in the United States and their children, their educational success, and the implications of the recently released volume's findings for research and public policy.
How the anti-immigrant political movement and rancorous debates surrounding immigration will impact countries' ability to build strong economies and vibrant, diverse societies is yet to be determined. This discussion focuses on the factors and players that contribute to this environment, an analysis on the current situation in both Europe and the United States, and a discussion on its implications for community cohesion and national identity in European countries and the United States.
The conference offers thoughtful, evidence-based law and policy analysis and discussion of cutting-edge immigration issues.

Their analysis also investigates whether Arizona's legislation induced a shift away from formal employment.
This discussion focuses on the MPI report, "Executive Action on Immigration: Six Ways to Make the System Work Better," which outlines administrative actions that can be implemented to improve the immigration system.
287(g) programs have surged into the public consciousness in recent years. Now operating in 72 jurisdictions, the 287(g) program authorizes state and local law enforcement officers to screen people for immigration status, issue detainers to hold unauthorized immigrants on immigration violations, and begin the process of their removal from the United States.
In a report by MPI's Labor Markets Initiative, noted economist and Georgetown University Public Policy Institute Professor Harry J. Holzer examines the economic reasoning and research on these questions and looks at the policy options that shape the impact of less-skilled immigration on the economy. The discussion is on what policy reform would best serve native-born American workers, consumers, and employers, as well as the overall U.S. economy.
Over the past year, MPI has partnered with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation to examine how diasporas contribute to – or detract from - development efforts in their countries of origin. MPI and USAID have published an edited volume of the research. Please join us for the release of the book where speakers will discuss new thinking on the role of diaspora engagement in U.S. foreign and development policy.
MPI is pleased to host a discussion with experts from both KIND and the Women's Refugee Commission, focusing on the causes of the increase in unaccompanied minor migrants, the situation these minors face once detained or apprehended, and the challenges confronting both nongovernmental organizations trying to provide aid and the U.S. government agencies responsible for processing minors through the system.

Enjoy smooth, accurate sound in just about any room in your home. Infinity's CS60R, sold individually, installs directly in your ceiling, making it a great choice for rooms without lots of space to spare.

Perfect addition to complete a surround system Pros: In ceiling and out of way Cons: None yet Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Decent Speaker Written By Sean, Orlando, FL on Saturday, February 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought 7 of these. 5 for a 5.1 system and 2 more as surrounds in another room. I knew they would't be ideal as left center and right, but in this room it was more important that they were out of the way rather than perfectly placed. They work OK but don't sound that great off-axis. I probably should have gone with a speaker that was more aimable. The other disappointment is they aren't quite white. They are a bit gray and stand out. They are paintable but it's silly to have to paint them white when that's what they are supposed to be. As surrounds they work well, but again they work much better when they point directly at the listening position. Pros: Inexpensive, easy to install, decent sound for the price. Cons: Off-white color, Off-axis sound. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 As expected Written By BJB, Saratoga Springs NY on Monday, January 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought two pairs of these mainly because they fit in the opening we had made in the ceilings of our brand new house for some high end speakers. I doubt I would ever be able to tell the difference in the what were supposed to go in and these, but the Infinity speakers were half the price. I am not an audiophile, but these sound great to me. The Crutchfield customer service is great as usual. I had the speakers a couple of days after I ordered them. Pros: Nice sound, good price and fit my 8" openings Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Nice speakers Written By DMC, Omaha, NE on Thursday, November 17, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased these Infinity's to use for background music in my large living room. They sound great! I was not expecting them to shake the room, but they will get loud enough for my taste. I was surprised by the amount of bass as well. All in all a good speaker for my application. Pros: Good build quality, good sound quality, easy to install. Cons: Nothing, performing just as expected. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Just what I wanted Written By SteveH, Scottsdale, AZ on Friday, February 11, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had Infinity speakers and subwoofers and now I have installed these 'voice matched' Infinity inwall speakers for my middle side and high-wide left and right front speakers for a 9.1 installation with my new 9.1 reciver. Using round speakers made an better installation since you can't make round crooked ;-}) They sound great and in my 19'x20' theater room they made a very nice improvment. These speakers install very fast, easly and are very sturdy. Mounting simply with four built in clamps that secure on the inner side of the dry wall. The attachment is rock solid and any vibration uses the wall as part of the speaker. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Great Rear Speakers Written By Phil, Brunswick, GA on Tuesday, March 13, 2007 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound great for the size. Easy to install with included templates. Speakers also look great when installed. I am using these speakers for left and right rear channels in my living room. For my house they are perfect. I have an open floor plan and the ceiling is the only option for my rear speakers. I don't know if these would be great speakers for front channel surround sound applications, but for rear and multi-room applications they are definitely a great fit. After about a week I put the speakers through the paces and they performed great. I am very pleased with the purchase of these speakers and will recommend and install them for others. 197 out of 213 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Dead Space for iPhone review
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Games, Reviews, Electronic Arts, $6.99, $9.99
With the release of Dead Space 2 across platforms, EA Mobile released an iOS version of the game. Coming in at $6.99 for the iPhone and $9.99 for the iPad version, this is more than just a companion app, it's a fairly extensive, full featured game, with multiple weapons, sceneries, moving vehicles, story and so on. The whole plot and setting feeds into the Dead Space universe to create a full mobile experience.
Today I Die Again for iPhone available free today only
Posted by Drea Avellan Categories: Games, App Updates, iPad Apps, Sales, Free Apps
In conjunction with Free App A Day (FAAD), Atakamalabs has released the popular IndieCade Jury Award winning title rewrite, Today I Die Again by Daniel Benmergui, completely free. Today I Die Again is a thought provoking adventure using words as means to action.
The scene opens underwater with the body of a dead woman floating lifeless in the dark. The rock tied around her waist suggests that her demise was no accident. A poem floats above her: "hopeless world / full of shadows / today I die"
Players must use the floating glowing words or reveal hidden ones to help you transform the ever-present poem in order to progress through the game. All along the way you battle the dark creatures from the depths in effort to break through to the surface. The oddly creative music score sets the mood perfectly as you are immersed deeper into this pixelated world. Today I Die Again is truly a unique game unlike any other, exploring new ways to express emotions through a video game experience.
Today I Die Again is available free on the iTunes store for iPhone and iPod Touch.

Cover Orange review
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Games, iPad Apps, Reviews, $0.99
Last month a little gem popped unnoticed on the App Store named Cover Orange. Following a recent promotion giving away the game for free, it has now reached the top 10 list on iTunes. The premise is for you to move from level to level, protecting oranges from acid rain. The first thing you notice is how similar this one is to Angry Birds, from the way the levels are made, to the physics properties that the gameplay relies on. In this case, instead of throwing birds offensively, you have to protect your oranges from the nasty clouds and their acid rain.
Both the graphics and sounds are amazing, with the oranges themselves thanking you for saving them. The animations are excellent, with everything flowing nicely from one sequence to the next. Solving physics puzzles is the meat of the game, and you get access to various objects to try and cover your oranges with, like barrels and wheels, by interacting with the other items on the level. High scores are linked to the Game Center, but it's just a lot of fun solving each level. The controls are extremely simple, you simply grab objects and let them drop where you want, and watch how they interact with the level.
The game costs $0.99 and is available for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. It comes with 120 levels, 40 of them being new as of the latest update. The video trailer shows the game well, and at this price, it really is a must have.

Infinity Blade review
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Games, iPad Apps, Reviews, $5.99
Infinity Blade was released yesterday, the first true game to run on the new Unreal Engine for iPhone. As such, it's been previewed and hyped a lot in the past months. At a $5.99 price point for the universal app that works on both the iPhone and iPad, was it worth the wait?
First, just like the Unreal demo Epic Citadel was, this game right from the start impresses with it's graphics and sceneries. As you start, the initial cinematic shows you a little bit of back story as to what you'll be fighting for, and the 3D environment seen on the screen is quite impressive. On both the iPhone 4 and iPad, the graphics use the latest tricks, usually reserved to console gaming, to provide a stunning experience. Adding to that is an impressive musical score, playing throughout the game and providing a great gaming experience.

Rage: Mutant Bash TV review
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Games, iPad Apps, Reviews, $0.99, $1.99
After a high hype and anticipation level, iD Software's Rage game called Mutant Bash TV finally hit the App Store this week. The creators of the original Doom and Quake games showcased the full Rage for consoles many times in the past, and promised to provide a graphically rich companion for the iPhone. Now that the game is out, is it worthy of all that wait?
First, the game is available in two different versions. Yet, unlike most apps, they aren't limited to iPhone and iPad. Both apps are universal, with the difference being the quality of textures. Rage, at $0.99, has regular graphics, while Rage HD, at $1.99, has high definition graphics, and is aimed at iPhone 4 and the iPad. This is a fairly large app, weighing in at over 700 MB, so it may take a while to download.

Morris sits in the small room used for attorney-inmate visits awaiting the group of four male inmates he will counsel on this particular Thursday. As acting chaplain for the Bartow County Sheriff's Office, the pastor of Trinity Baptist Church spends several hours each week counseling and ministering to inmates.
A survey of law enforcement agencies and fire departments across the county found that all have a designated chaplain — all but one are unpaid volunteers.
"I had actually been doing a lot of work with guys who were homeless and guys that were incarcerated. Capt. [Derek] Cochran actually contacted me to see if I was interested in doing the chaplain because I worked with a lot of guys, and he had heard ... I was trying to help them more than just when they exit. A lot of guys were exiting and coming back because they had nowhere to stay," Morris said. "So he knew that I was working on some stuff, knew some people on getting them a place to stay, helping them get through some struggles in their life. That kind of opened the door for me to help them outside, not just inside."
For almost 30 years, chaplains for law enforcement — although Morris technically is not chaplain for BCSO personnel — were certified through the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council. Beginning in June 1984, POST certified and maintained training requirements for those ministering. A POST spokeswoman said this week the agency discontinued the practice in July 2011.
Rudy Ross, a former Methodist pastor, volunteers his time as chaplain for numerous organizations, including Georgia State Patrol Troop A, Cartersville Police Department and Cartersville Medical Center. He became certified after attending a BCSO citizens law enforcement academy in 2008.
At that time, to be a chaplain for GSP, Ross had to be POST certified, submit two application packets to the state patrol, meet with an investigator and pass a polygraph.
"The sheriff here, Sheriff [Clark] Millsap, helped me get into the [Georgia] Sheriff's Association training program. I paid my own way, but he had to sign off that I could go," he said. "It took nearly a year to get approved because of all the things I had to check in and do. Finally, once I got the certification — well, right before I got it — I did my training.
"I rode with the state patrol for 16 hours. I went to the jail and spent four hours. I spent four hours at the communications [center] with the state patrol. There were so many hours you had to spend to be certified and then go do your 40 hours of training. Once I got all that done, then I got my certification from POST to be a POST-certified chaplain. Then things began to click."
A higher calling
Ministers talk about being lead to the clergy, and for many chaplains, the calling is much the same.
"God put it on my heart five years ago to be a chaplain," Morris said. "[I] didn't really have a door there, went to Bible college and just started seeking God, and all of sudden, five years later, a door opened for me to be a chaplain. So it's something I believe, you've got to have a heart for it, just a heart for people."
Ross agreed.
"I believe it is [a calling] because ... I pastored all those years and even in that time I had done some chaplain training but, ... after I had finished pastoring my last church in 2007, I was looking for a way to minister and I had started off at Cartersville Medical Center and still do three days a month there. There's a group of us that are volunteer chaplains. I got involved with that and then I got in law enforcement chaplain," he said.
After his son became involved in law enforcement, Ross said he felt "impressed to do something with law enforcement," making himself available to agencies who may need his services.
According to the Georgia Sheriff's Association, which still certifies chaplains, the service may not be for everyone.
"It is not for every pastor or layperson, but for those who have a heart for the men and women in uniform," the GSA website reads. "Those who are called to protect society are a closed and close-knit family. They face the evils of the world with which the public cannot identify. The chaplain's role becomes a ministry of presence to let the sheriffs and their staff know that someone cares, someone is there for them without passing judgment, and someone is praying for them."
What officers face each day and the toll the job takes are what led Jim Pinkard of NorthPointe Church to give his time to Adairsville Police Department.
"I was led to become a police chaplain after finding out some interesting statistics. Law enforcement officers lead the nation in three categories as far as occupations: alcoholism, divorce and suicide. After finding this out, I just wanted to help," he said. "It's all about the calling of God. It's not about me or you."
BCSO Jail Division Maj. Gary Dover said Morris has answered a need in the jail and perhaps one day can assist in other areas.
"Anything we can do, I guess, to keep [the inmates] calm and try to help them with stuff like that [is beneficial] because, you know, when they're in here and some of their family members die or whatnot, we're not really equipped as officers to go in there and counsel them on that level," he said. "We really need someone to do that. That's where they step in. It's really important, in my opinion.
"Hopefully, one day, it may work into [serving as chaplain for personnel] because a lot of times he does stop and speak to the people in booking and holding, they see him around. ... Me and him were talking one day — it's real easy for us seeing what we see every day to get really hard-hearted a lot of times with people and stuff like that. Depression is very prevalent in our business, so is suicide in our business."
Chaplains not only provide spiritual support but oftentimes are called on to perform other duties, like death notifications, post-traumatic stress counseling, post-shooting counseling and memorials.
Ross, who spends most of his time at CPD, said being there for officers in their time of need may be his most important role.
"I think the biggest thing is just making sure they have somebody to talk to when they're going through a difficult time, whether it's a scene they've gone to with a wreck or if it's some family situation they've had to deal with on the job and even if there is something going on with them, just situations they are having to face that they can come and talk to me, if they want to," he said.
Encountering issues
The same reasons public safety personnel need the counseling and ministery of a chaplain also can present roadblocks to those there to help.
"The hardest part of being a chaplain is gaining the officer's trust because, after seeing the worst in humanity, they don't hardly trust anyone," Pinkard said.
Although death notifications are difficult, Ross said some of the situations he encounters is the toughest aspect of serving as chaplain.
"I just see it being somebody that can be there for them, but that's important. If they're going through stressful situations and they're just keeping it bottled in, that can be physically difficult for them and can be emotionally and can be distracting to them," he said. "... I think it does help them if they're going through a difficult time they need someone to share so it's not interrupting what's going on on the job."
For Morris, ministering to inmates presents a different set of challenges.
"The biggest need I see in all people is Jesus. Without Christ you can only go so far ... You'll never be totally free, you'll always be in bondage," he said. "Another big need I see in their life is just a second chance. They need someone to put some faith in them, lead them, grab them by the hand and walk with them through the circumstances in their life, help them overcome, become more confident in who they are and who God's created them to be.
"God's created them to work, and if they're not working and they're not doing what they are designed to do, so it's getting them back to work but overcoming the roadblocks in their life to get them back ... building their confidence and overcoming their past. They made a decision at one point in time and that doesn't have to be the rest of their life. They can learn from their decisions, through consequences, make good decisions going forward."
The struggles and strife he sees and hears in the austere room of the jail impact Morris as a counselor.
"A man's got to make a decision. A woman's got to make a decision. I can't make a decision for them, so in that, I wish I could because I would ...," Morris said. "Sometimes you can equip a man with all the tools he needs but he's still got to make a choice at the end of the day. The hardest part is just seeing guys and women stuck in a cycle that they may or may not could have been born into, but there's a way out.
"Sometimes it's painful to see people suffering because ... there's always a story behind every picture. Sometimes once you know the story you have a lot more compassion for an individual once you hear the real story."
Reaping the reward
Despite the obstacles, local chaplains all say the reward comes at the end — when someone has been reached.
In Adairsville, Pinkard said the payoff comes when he feels the officers opening up.
"The most rewarding part is gaining their trust and becoming part of their family," he said, adding that he sees a need for the community to get support local police.
Ross, who also serves Emerson Police Department and the Georgia State Defense Force First Battalion, said he will often spend one-on-one time with troopers and officers, and he remains on call should he be needed.
"I enjoy it, being able to be around the officers and talk with them. I ride with them, try to get to know them. It helps out if they get to know you, just the relationship you can develop," he said. "They can come and talk to me if they need to. I am under the confidentiality if they want to come and talk to me about something they can come and talk to me and I'm not going to go and tell everybody."
The former pastor said serving public safety is very similar to his former duties serving a congregation.
"I think the most rewarding [aspect] is when someone has got something that's going on and you can be able to talk with them and it seems like it encourages them. They're, you know, feel like you know somebody's willing to listen to what's going on with them," he said. "To me, ... it's the same way in pastoring a church, you're pastoring a different group of people. You be there and listen to them and encourage them and support them."
