Watch: Five-Year-Old Texas Girl Saves Mother From Drowning

A 5-year-old girl in Texas is being hailed a hero after she saved her mother from drowning in their backyard swimming pool, and it was caught on home surveillance video. (video below).

According to a report, Tracy Anderwald suffered a seizure last week while swimming. Her 5-year-old daughter, Allison, then hopped in to save her.

Allison can be seen in the video pulling her unconscious mother to the shallow end, making sure her head was above water before running inside the house for help.

Tracy, who was released from the hospital Tuesday, was not seriously injured.

She said her daughter learned to swim at the age of two, and she was surprised the young girl knew what to do in the situation....

Consequences Of Illegal Immigration: TB cases increase in U.S. for first time in 23 years

Thanks Obama!                                       #maps

The number of tuberculosis cases in the United States rose last year for the first time in nearly a quarter-century, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday.

Twenty-nine states and the District of Columbia each had more cases in 2015 than 2014, raising questions -- but no definitive answers -- about a possible resurgence of one of the world's deadliest diseases.

The overall increase was relatively small: 157 more cases, bringing the 2015 total to 9,563. Two-thirds of the total were among people born abroad, with Asians accounting for the most cases (3,007) and the highest rate (28.2 cases per 100,000 persons). By comparison, there were only .5 cases per 100,000 whites last year.

Cases of TB in 2015

Number of cases is based on provisional data from the National Tuberculosis Surveillance System -- as of March 4, 2016.

[Vast majority of U.S. tuberculosis cases come from abroad]


"After two decades of declining incidence, progress toward TB elimination in the United States appears to...

Trump gives displaced IT workers attention, and he's not alone...

HARTFORD, Conn. -- U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), flanked by laid off IT workers on Tuesday, spoke about the abuse of the H-1B visa system.

There are 5,669 workers in Connecticut employed under the H-1B program, Blumenthal said at a press conference. "How many of them have displaced American workers? We don't know," he said. "How many of them have been hired instead of American workers? We don't know.

"But we know that increasingly," the senator said, foreign workers are being used to displace Americans "because they can be employed more cheaply."

Blumenthal's press conference was another sign of the rising political visibility of the H-1B issue. The implications of this attention are unclear.

Legislative reforms are stalled, and discrimination cases in court remain undecided, but the issue may be getting the most attention it has ever received.

At rallies for Donald Trump, the billionaire businessman seeking the Republican presidential nomination, Disney IT workers have spoken about being replaced by foreign labor.

Trump was endorsed by Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), the head of the Senate immigration subcommittee. That committee has held two hearings during this legislative term on the impact of H-1B visa holders on highly skilled workers.

Trump, at the Miami GOP candidate debate, appeared to suggest ending the H-1B program. His platform details H-1B reforms, and the endorsement by Sessions, a leading Republican critic on illegal immigration, may be seen as a sign that Trump is serious. But in some public statements during debates, Trump can seem wobbly on H-1B issue.

Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, a Texas senator, once called for a massive H-1B cap increase but has since become...
