law if U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

provided statistical evidence of enforcement to date. )
“If these cities make the decision to ignore the law, they
should be held accountable when that negligence hurts
the citizens. My bill allows Americans to sue sanctuary
cities for damages caused by their defiance of the law,”
stated Senator Dick Black who introduced a bill, SB270,
to make sanctuary cities/counties responsible for damage caused by illegal aliens.
The Virginia Senate voted 21-19 to pass Senate Bill
(SB) 270, which would prohibit localities from enacting
any sanctuary ordinance, procedure, or policy that
restricts the enforcement of federal immigration law to
less than the full extent permitted by federal law.

Under SB 270, any locality found to have violated the
measure by enacting a sanctuary policy will see a
reduction in their state funding. Shortly following the
vote, Senate Republicans filed a motion requesting a
reconsideration of the bill. SB 270 is expected to be
voted on again in the near future.
The benefits of legislation aimed at increasing cooperation with federal immigration officials include:
● Furthering the public safety and welfare of Virginia
residents and visitors;
● Fighting illegal immigration by eliminating the attraction for illegal aliens to come to Virginia;
● Taking away competition for scarce jobs; and
● Providing ICE with critical assistance to accomplish
its mission to identify and remove criminal aliens who
are already in state or local custody.
The Virginia Senate voted 21-19 to pass HB 481 with
the exact same split as on SB 270.
Call Governor McAuliffe at 804-786-2211 and tell him
to sign HB 481 to protect Virginians TODAY!
In other key legislation, Senator Hanger supported
parental rights and agreed that no parent should have
to find out after-the-fact that their child has been
exposed to sexually explicit and inappropriate material
at school without their permission. House Bill 516
provided the opt-out option for parents to employ if
they find the material to be used is offensive.
Senator Hanger did vote in favor of the legislation
which passed the Senate with amendments on a
22-to-17 vote. The bill is now headed back to the
House for final approval of the language.

“Chinese companies have
been buying up foreign businesses, including American
ones, at a record rate. To date, there have been 102
Chinese outbound mergers-and-acquisitions deals announced this year, amounting to $81.6 billion in value,
according to Dealogic. That's up from 72 deals worth
$11 billion in the same period last year. Slow economic
growth in China and cheap prices abroad due to the
stock market's recent sell-off suggest the opposite.
China's economic growth in 2015 was its slowest in 25
years.
“The law firm O'Melveny & Myers recently surveyed
their mainly China-based clients and found that the
economic growth potential in the US was the main
factor making it an attractive investment destination.
Nearly half of respondents agreed that the US was the
most attractive market for investment. While not all the
companies doing the buying are state-owned enterprises, they do need to have the full backing of the Chinese government in order to close foreign deals.
That's because they need approval to get enough
foreign exchange to pay for the acquisitions, something the government monitors closely. Given the recent volume of deals, though, it would appear that the
Chinese government is supportive of the foreign-buying spree.
“There is General Electric's sale of its appliance business to Qingdao-based Haier, Zoomlion's bid for the
heavy-lifting-equipment maker Terex Corp., and
ChemChina's record-breaking deal for the Swiss
seeds and pesticides group Syngenta, valued at $48
billion. Most recently, a unit of the Chinese conglomerate HNA Group said it would buy the technology distributor Ingram Micro for $6 billion. And the most
contentious deal so far might be the Chinese-led investor group Chongqing Casin Enterprise's bid for the
Chicago Stock Exchange.”

is enough. We need to elect a president who will make
sure that the government cracks down on China protect
American economic interests both at home and abroad.”

“The Chinese conglomerate Dalian Wanda Group,
which already owns the AMC chain of multiplex cinemas, is poised to buy a majority stake in a Hollywood
production company that makes blockbuster-style movies, giving the politically powerful company with close
ties to the Communist Party’s ruling elite a foothold in
the heart of America’s entertainment industry. Wanda’s
investment also makes sense politically for its chairman,
Wang Jianlin, a former military officer who is carrying
out the Communist Party’s goal of deepening China’s
influence in the global entertainment industry. As many
of China’s most powerful families, including relatives of
President Xi Jinping, have bought shares in Wanda, the
Legendary purchase furthers Mr. Wang’s importance to
the country’s political elite at a time when some of the
country’s richest businessmen are falling victim to Mr.
Xia’s anticorruption campaign, now entering its fourth
year. He’s basically putting himself in such an important
position that makes it really difficult for the government
to go after him, because he’s actually carrying the
water for the government in terms of making inroads
into Hollywood, said Stanley Rosen, a professor of
political science at the University of Southern California
who studies China’s film industry. That’s an important
aspect of government policy.”

The Hundred-Year Marathon – “is a plan that has
been implemented by the Communist Party leadership
from the beginning of its relationship with the United
States. The goal is to avenge or “wipe clean” (xi xue)
past foreign humiliations. Then China will set up a world
order that will be fair to China, a world without American
global supremacy, and revise the U.S.-dominated economic and geopolitical world order founded at Bretton
Woods and San Francisco at the end of World War II.
The Chinese hawks assess that China can only succeed in this project through deception, or at least by
denial of any frightening plans. Dismissing Chinese
nationalism as out of the mainstream is what most
Western experts on China have done for decades. The
bias of wishful thinking has created a blind spot to what
is likely to emerge as America’s thorniest national
security challenge in the next twenty-five years. There
are moderates and hard-liners in China, but increasingly, the more hard-line and nationalist worldview is winning out and indeed has far more influence in the inner
circle of China’s new president, Xi Jinping.”
