Feds bust illegal immigrants on ID fraud - Washington Times:

More than 20 illegal immigrants have been charged with document and benefit fraud, officials announced Thursday, after a Boston-based sweep designed to crack down on the means many illegal immigrants use to live and remain in the U.S.
All told, the feds netted 25 people — 21 of them illegal immigrants — in the sweep, including a convicted murderer who escaped from Puerto Rican prison and had been living under a different name in Massachusetts, and a drug trafficker who authorities say stole the identity of a U.S. citizen displaced by last year’s hurricanes in Puerto Rico.

FLASHBACK: Economic ‘Experts’ Predicted 4-Percent Growth Would Never Happen | The Daily Caller

The United States hit its highest economic growth rate in roughly four years on Friday — something many economists predicted would never happen.

Gross domestic product (GDP) grew to a 4.1-percent rate in the second quarter of 2018, compared to just 2.8 percent in the second quarter of 2017. (RELATED: US Economy Grew At 4.1 Percent Rate In Second Quarter Of 2018)

Meanwhile, CNN ran a headline in October of 2016 claiming, “Donald Trump promises 4-percent growth, but economists say no way,” and the Los Angeles Times ran a column with an even more dire prediction — that Trump was “dreaming” to think he could hit a 3-percent growth rate.

“An aging population and stagnant productivity could put Donald Trump’s goal of 3.5-percent economic growth out of reach,” the Wall Street Journal similarly wrote in December of 2016.

Businessman and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban predicted that the markets would tank if Trump were elected president in 2016.

And, of course, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that the economy would fare quite poorly under her 2016 opponent.

“Just like he shouldn’t have his finger on the button, he shouldn’t have his hands on our economy,” Clinton said during the election.

Janitors union OKs strike if contract talks fail | Crain's Detroit Business:
"With contract negotiations ongoing, unionized janitors have voted to strike if an agreement isn't reached with employers by July 31.

Service Employees International Union Local 1 announced the vote results Monday evening alongside a vigil in front of One Campus Martius in downtown Detroit, according to a news release.
The union's 1,700 janitors could walk out of their jobs starting Aug. 1, if talks aren't fruitful.
SEIU Local 1 is calling for at least $15 per hour wages and more benefits in a three-year contract. Contract negotiations began June 20.
Around 400 janitors attended the vigil, voting for the strike unanimously, union spokeswoman Izabela Miltko-Ivkovich said in an email.
..."If they choose to strike, this will affect not only downtown buildings, but also 500 [Detroit schools] custodians as well as a couple hundred of janitors at the airport," Miltko-Ivkovich said in an email earlier Monday.
The SEIU local in June launched a "Fight for 15" campaign...
The campaign also supports a $15 wage and union rights for fast food, airport and other workers, the news release said."

WASHINGTON — Citing the importance of recruiting in the 18 to 24-year-old demographic, the U.S. Navy has updated its policy to allow sailors to wear man-buns while in uniform, sources confirmed today.
“We need to open our gates to the best and brightest candidates,” said Adm. John Richardson, chief of naval operations.
“So what if they laze around in coffee shops writing half-finished screenplays and delaying adulthood into their thirties?
It’s our job to adapt to them.”
The change is not without its critics, most notably a cacophony of older veterans leaving “glad I got out when I did” comments on the Navy’s public Facebook page.
Yet recruiting has already skyrocketed in bougie urban centers across America..."

Italy is toughening up, wants zero tolerance policy for criminal asylum seekers
"Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini announced on Twitter that he is working on a zero tolerance policy for criminal migrants.

“I am working on an administrative order (#decretosicurezza) which will make it possible to refuse asylum requests if the person seeking it has committed a crime, because nowadays the law, except in certain cases, permits that criminal foreigners stay in the country and receive “protection” at the expense of the Italian people. #zerotolerance”
