Opinion
Wrongly Profiled and Deported
Immigration enforcement has led to unjust detentions by corrupt police departments."The Louisiana case points to a fundamental flaw with the Obama “prosecutorial discretion” policy. When the federal government delegates immigration enforcement to the local police, it risks outsourcing discretion to those who have no interest in using it justly. Whenever the police break the law to harass people who fit the stereotypical image of unauthorized immigrants, it is appalling. But when top officials within the Department of Homeland Security tolerate such abuses, they grossly undermine Mr. Obama’s professed commitment to immigration justice."
The error is the delegation of responsibility to the local power structures.

Fiat Chrysler Workers at Several Plants Back Contract Proposal

Cuomo Planning Discrimination Protections for Transgender New Yorkers
The governor is expected to direct the State Division of Human Rights to issue regulations adding to a 1945 law.http://www.dhr.ny.gov/law
" 1. The opportunity to obtain employment without discrimination because of age, race, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, military status, sex, marital status, or disability, is hereby recognized as and declared to be a civil right.
2. The opportunity to obtain education, the use of places of public accommodation and the ownership, use and occupancy of housing accommodations and commercial space without discrimination because of age, race, creed, color, national origin, sexual orientation, military status, sex, marital status, or disability, as specified in section two hundred ninety six of this article, is hereby recognized as and declared to be a civil right.
3. The opportunity to obtain medical treatment of an infant prematurely born alive in the course of an abortion shall be the same as the rights of an infant born spontaneously."
Elinore Roosevelt probably wrote the law.
Andrew Cuomo is doing a proper modification.

Obama to Announce Steps to Curb Increase in Overdose Deaths
The president’s plan, which includes more training in prescribing painkillers, will be announced in West Virginia, a state ravaged by drug addiction.“More Americans now die every year from drug overdoses than they do from motor vehicle crashes,” Mr. Obama said. “The majority of those overdoses involve legal prescription drugs. I don’t have to tell you, this is a terrible toll.”
Heroin is cheap and effective.
We have learned to be cautious in its application.
The near impossibility of kicking is understood.
We understand the consequent necessity for maintenance.
The difference from the novel opioids is the patent protection and price.
Opioids social acceptability is fugitive.
Their removal from commerce is inevitable.
