A Scientist Agrees: Thanks
To Immigration, Ph.Ds Don't Pay; etc.

Re:
Edwin S. Rubenstein’s Column:
Bad News For American Workers, Students…
I
am impressed by Rubenstein’s article. It is one of the
most succinct summaries of the current situation in
scientific research I’ve ever read.
As one of
science’s obscure foot soldiers, I want thank
Rubenstein for his honesty. Though what he says
resonates with all of us in the community, few discuss
it so openly.
I
love what I do for a living, but might not have taken
the same course had I known about its negative impact on
my financial well-being.
Ironically, those who dropped or failed out of my
Ivy League Ph.D. program are now the ones with high
paying jobs. Only one out of the 15 of us who graduated
has a
permanent
job five years later.
Each of the 15 is earning thousands less than he would
without his doctorate. Can anyone blame
young college students for not wanting to follow in
those footsteps?
I
don’t regret my decision, but I think it’s worth
exploring the causes of the decline in domestic science.
Jones holds a Ph.D. in applied
physics and engineering. He is a non-permanent staffer
at a national laboratory.

A Virginia Pastor Worries About
Ruben Navarette’s Closed Mind

Re: Joe Guzzardi’s
Column:
Ruben Navarette And The Truth About “Language Lies”
Like Guzzardi, I previously had written Ruben an
e-mail concerning languages and barriers.
I spent some time with it, too. He did not have the courtesy to read it but instead deleted it.
I know Navarette [
email him], deleted it unopened because Netscape’s
return receipt told me so.
A closed mind is hard to reach. But let’s keep trying.
“Name
Withheld” lives in the
Richmond area where he
and his wife work regular jobs to keep their two
children in college. He holds a Master of Divinity
Degree and is ordained.

A Sadder But Wiser Reader Tells
About His Immigration Marriage Scam
From:
[Name
Withheld]
Re: Joe Guzzardi’s
Column: Lax Immigration Law---
The
Real Villain In Nyce Tragedy
I was introduced over the internet and by phone to
my now ex-Filipina wife by her aunt with whom I worked.
After nearly a year of communicating with my ex-wife and
being brainwashed by her aunts who live in the U.S., I
traveled to the
Philippines to meet the rest of her and the rest of
her family.
We married in the Philippines.
After almost a year of
immigration processing, she arrived in the U.S.
during late February 2005. She abandoned our marriage in
early July 2005 after we had gathered all of the
necessary documents for her to file for her permanent
residency, social security number and job authorization.
I have not heard nor seen her since July 4, 2005.
Her aunts, who had made me to believe that I was a
beloved part of their family, say that they have started
legal action to prevent me from contacting them.
I realized more and more that I am a victim of a
marriage scam. These ladies conned me.
I lost more than $3000 U.S.A. dollars to my ex-wife and
her aunts. And I experienced extreme stress and
emotional pain because of the suddenness of the
overwhelming humiliation that I suffered.
I am healing and trying to move on with my life.
“Name Withheld”
is thirty years older than his former wife.

A
Colorado Reader Says Immigration Brides Means Older
American Women Don’t Get A Second Chance
From:
Terry Graham [e-mail
her]
Art Bell once hosted an all night radio program,
Coast-to-Coast AM.
Earlier this year Bell's wife of fifteen years, an
Asian American, died suddenly. Within a few months,
Art announced that he had been contacted by a young
Filipina woman promising love and romance.
Bell flew to the
Philippines and promptly
married her, claiming he was madly in love. (Bell
is in his early 60s.)
No
doubt hundreds of thousands of American women would have
jumped at the chance to date Bell.
Bell has since moved to Manila, where he and
his 4'11", 20ish wife live in a high-rise from which
he broadcasts his increasingly irrelevant program.
At
least he emigrated so the new Mrs. Bell stayed home.
Bell’s tale—and that of Doctor Nyce, the subject of
Guzzardi’s
column—unfortunately describes the path of so many
men I know. Only the
older, wiser and melancholic men who understand the
approaches by these young foreign women make no sense
unless one considers the $$$ goal.
The media's constant portrayal of white American males
in love with Asian women pushes our men towards this "
solution"
to what’s missing in their lives.
This means many older American women will remain single
instead of finding a companion the second time around.
Graham is a frequent
contributor to VDARE.COM. Read her columns and letters
here
and her blogs
here.
Late breaking news reported by Graham on the Bell love
fest:
“An addendum. Last night, I was listening to Art Bell's
radio show, now broadcast from
Manila,
Philippines.
“I
was at least happy he emigrated, rather than bringing in
another foreign bride who apparently didn't speak much
English among other lackings.
“
However, last night Bell revealed an old email trashing
Filipinos, and falsely circulated under his name years
ago, is showing up in the Philippines. Bell is aware
this could be very dangerous. As he said, ‘They shoot
journalists here.’
“My guess is the honeymooners will soon head for the
security of the U.S. One more ‘foreign bride’ hits the
jackpot: America.”
