Temp agency charged in illegal alien scheme

Washington Times:

Two temporary-employment agencies and six company officials were charged yesterday in a suspected $5.3 million scheme involving the employment of illegal aliens, mail and wire fraud, and money laundering, according to a federal indictment unsealed in Ohio.
Agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Labor Department's Office of the Inspector General and the FBI arrested three persons in Philadelphia, one in New York City and another in Columbus, Ohio. A sixth person agreed to turn himself over to federal authorities, while three remain at large.
ICE spokesman Dean Boyd said those arrested conspired to employ illegal aliens, as well as legal aliens who had no authorization to work in the United States. He said the officials also conspired to provide transportation and housing for the aliens and help them obtain fraudulent documents, profited from the scheme and laundered millions of dollars in proceeds.
Mr. Boyd said many of the 300 workers sent by the companies to jobs in Ohio were identified as illegal aliens from Africa and the Middle East.
The employment agencies were identified as HV Connect Inc. in Philadelphia and Canton, Ohio, and TN Job Service Inc., which has offices in Philadelphia; Pennsauken, N.J.; Canton; and New Philadelphia, Ohio.
"ICE has no tolerance for companies that knowingly engage in the employment of illegal aliens," said Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Julie L. Myers. "Companies such as HV Connect, Inc., undermine our laws, which ultimately undermines legal American workers."

...
He may believe that but there are 11 to 12 million reasons to doubt it.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
