The president and his family are expected to stay in a home well off North Road in Chilmark that features a basketball court and pool.
The White House late Wednesday confirmed that President Obama and his family will return to Martha’s Vineyard for two weeks of vacation in August.
“On Saturday, August 9th, the President and the First Lady will travel to Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts,” a White House official said on background. “They will remain there until Sunday, August 24th, when they will return to Washington, D.C. There are no public events scheduled at this time and further details on travel will be released when they are available.”www.mvtimes.com...
What your parents or grand-parents or even great grand-parents read when the arrived here"give me your tired,your poor, your huddled masses". Of course you choose to forget that.
Even though they are exactly like your fore-fathers that appeared at Ellis Island with no papers and no official immigration documents.
First and second class passengers who arrived in New York Harbor were not required to
undergo the inspection process at Ellis Island. Instead, these passengers underwent a cursory
inspection aboard ship; the theory being that if a person could afford to purchase a first or second
class ticket, they were less likely to become a public charge in America due to medical or legal
reasons. However, first and second class passengers were sent to Ellis Island for further
inspection if they were sick or had legal problems.
This scenario was far different for "steerage" or third class passengers. These immigrants
traveled in crowded and often unsanitary conditions near the bottom
of steamships with few amenities, oftenspending up to two weeks
seasick in their bunks during rough Atlantic Ocean crossings. Upon
arrival in New York City, ships would dock at the Hudson or East
River piers. First and second class passengers would disembark, pass
through Customs at the piers and were free to enter the United States.
The steerage and third class passengers were transported from the pier
by ferry or barge to Ellis Island where everyone would undergo a
medical and legal inspection.
If the immigrant's papers were in order and they were in reasonably good health, the Ellis Island
inspection process would last approximately three to five hours.
As each immigrant passed, a doctor, with an interpreter at his side, would examine the immigrant�s face, hair, neck and hands. The doctor held a piece of chalk. On about two out of every ten or 11 immigrants who passed, he would scrawl a large white letter; that letter indicated whether or not that immigrant was to be detained for further medical inspection.
Should an immigrant be suspected of mental defects, an X was marked high on the front of the right shoulder; an X within a circle meant some definite symptom had been detected. And the �shorthand� continued: B indicated possible back problems; Pg, pregnancy; Sc, a scalp infection; and so on. If an immigrant was marked, he or she continued with the process and then was directed to rooms set aside for further examination.
Sometimes whole groups would be made to bathe with disinfectant solutions before being cleared�not too surprising, considering how many were unable to bathe during the crossing. Again the line moved on. The next group of doctors were the dreaded �eye men.� They were looking for symptoms of trachoma, an eye disease that caused blindness and even death. (More than half of the medical detentions were because of this disease, and its discovery meant certain deportation.)
If immigrants had any of the diseases proscribed by the immigration laws, or were too ill or feeble-minded to earn a living, they would be deported. Sick children age 12 or older were sent back to Europe alone and were released in the port from which they had come. Children younger than 12 had to be accompanied by a parent. There were many tearful scenes as families with a sick child decided who would go and who would stay.
MCALLEN, Texas—Illegal aliens are being allowed to fly on commercial airliners without valid identification, according to the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC). “The aliens who are getting released on their own recognizance are being allowed to board and travel commercial airliners by simply showing their Notice to Appear forms,” NBPC’s Local 2455 Spokesman, Hector Garza, told Breitbart Texas.
“This is not the CBP [Customs and Border Protection] or another federal agency renting or leasing an aircraft, these are the same planes that the American public uses for domestic travel,” said Garza. “This just adds insult to injury. Not only are we releasing unknown illegal aliens onto American streets, but we are allowing them to travel commercially using paperwork that could easily be reproduced or manipulated on any home computer. The Notice to Appear form has no photo, anyone can make one and manipulate one. They do not have any security features, no watermark, nothing. They are simply printed on standard copy paper based on the information the illegal alien says is the truth.”
Spokesman Garza continued, “We do not know who these people are, we often have to solely rely on who they say they are, where they say they came from, and the history they say they have. We know nothing about most of them, ICE releases them into the American public, and now they are boarding aircraft at will with a simple paper document that anyone can easily alter or reproduce themselves.”

This is believed to be the first time that an Islamist terror group has been able to obtain such a large quantity of radioactive material, and security analysts now fear they could use it in so-called "dirty bombs" – conventional bombs loaded with radioactive substances.
