847- DOUBLE SHOT OF GOOD NEWS

CNMI IS ABOUT TO TAKE A GIANT STEP FORWARD
AND THE GOOD NEWS FOR TODAY IS:
1- US House OKs NMI Federalization:
THE U.S.
House of Representatives yesterday passed a measure that will federalize the CNMI immigration system and create a congressional delegate seat for the islands.
2- Cohen says Federalization Bill to Replace Local Labor, Immigration Laws:
THE federal official who drafted one of the federalization measures introduced in the U.S. Congress yesterday said H.R. 3079, or the Northern Mariana Islands Immigration, Security and Labor Act, will supersede all local labor and immigration-related laws if it becomes law.
AND THE TURD IN THE LEMONADE IS:
Ben Fitial Remains Defiant:
“Today, we face a potentially devastating development for the commonwealth, our citizens, and our future: the complete takeover of much of our authority to govern ourselves, grow our economy, protect our workers, and manage our own affairs,” he said in a statement.
“Let me explain why so many of us are so concerned about this legislation. First, it will destroy our economy, which we all know is already on life support. It will make it more difficult for us to pursue the economic recovery that is just now taking hold,” the governor said. ( Do you think they can make it any worse then you already have?)
Governor, all I can say is, this is the best thing you will ever see happen in your short time...
