FRONTLINES: Number of foreign-born US citizens reaches highest level in over 100 years


According to a report by The New York Sun that analyzed 2023 data from the American Community Survey, the proportion of foreign-born US residents rose to 14.3 percent in 2023, up from 13.9 percent in 2022, marking the highest rate since 1910, when it was 14.7 percent. This trend highlights the significant role of immigration in shaping recent US population growth.

“We knew that here you can have savings, live well. Here you can have normal services such as water and electricity,” legal immigrant Luciana Bracho, who moved from Venezuela to Miami, told the outlet. “I like Miami and the opportunities that I have had.”

The data revealed that migrants accounted for more than two-thirds of US population growth in 2023 and nearly three-quarters of the country’s total growth over the past decade. The largest proportion of foreign-born residents in 2023 came from Latin America, rising from 50.3 percent in 2022 to 51.2 percent in 2023. Latin America was the only region with an increase in representation among US foreign-born residents.

In terms of ethnic demographics, US residents identifying as Hispanic increased from 19.1 percent to 19.4 percent, while the share of those identifying as white dropped significantly from 57.7 percent to 57.1 percent. The percentage of those identifying as black also saw a slight decrease, from 12.2 percent to 12.1 percent.

The data further revealed that states experiencing the increases in foreign-born residents included Delaware, Georgia, and New Mexico, while states such as Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, and North Dakota saw slight decreases.

JOBOB: New Hampshire Supreme Court rules in favor of school district educators hiding transgender status of students from parents


The New Hampshire Supreme Court ruled on Friday to uphold a Manchester School District policy that instructs school officials not to inform parents if their child identifies as transgender. The decision affirms a lower court ruling that had previously dismissed a lawsuit challenging the policy.

The policy in question states that school personnel “should not disclose information that may reveal a student’s transgender status or gender non-confirming presentation to others unless legally required to do so or unless the student has authorized such disclosure.” In 2022, a mother in the district filed a lawsuit, arguing that the policy infringes on her parental rights by preventing her from being informed about her child’s so-called gender identity.

However, in a 3-1 decision, the New Hampshire Supreme Court upheld the previous ruling from a lower court that dismissed the lawsuit. Chief Justice Gordon MacDonald, writing for the majority, stated, “By its terms, the policy does not directly implicate a parent’s ability to raise and care for his or her child,” Chief Justice Gordon MacDonald wrote in the decision.

“We cannot conclude that any interference with parental rights which may result from non-disclosure is of constitutional dimension,” the decision stated.

The mother who filed the lawsuit discovered that her child had requested school officials to use a name associated with the opposite sex. When she learned of this, she asked the school’s faculty to refer to her child by their birth name and pronouns corresponding to their biological sex. However, the school principal informed her that the staff was “held by the district policy” and could not “disclose a student’s choice to parents if asked not to.”

In her dissenting opinion, Justice Melissa Beth Conway argued that “accurate information in response to parents’ inquiries about a child’s expressed gender identity is imperative to the parents’ ability to assist and guide their child.”

Following the decision, the Manchester School District praised the ruling. According to a press release obtained by the Daily Caller, the district stated that the superintendent and district leadership are pleased with the court’s decision to uphold the policy.

Tropical Depression Ileana Forecast Discussion

Tropical Depression Ileana Discussion Number  12
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       EP092024
200 AM MST Sun Sep 15 2024

All of Ileana's deep convection dissipated yesterday afternoon, and 
all that is left now is a swirl of low clouds off the coast of 
northern Sinaloa.  An ASCAT-C pass from 0410 UTC showed maximum 
winds near 30 kt over the Gulf of California near northern Sinaloa, 
and a weather station in Topolobampo is no longer reporting winds to 
tropical storm force.  As a result, Ileana is now designated as a 
30-kt tropical depression, and all coastal warnings in Mexico have 
been discontinued.

Ileana has been meandering, but the longer-term motion is 
west-northwestward, or 300/2 kt.  Model guidance indicates that the 
cyclone should turn northwestward later today but maintain a 
generally slow motion while moving over the Gulf of California.  
Due to strong southwesterly shear and a very dry atmosphere, deep 
convection is not expected to redevelop, and it's likely that 
Gordon will be declared a remnant low later this morning.  The 
remnant low is expected to dissipate on Monday.

Coastal Watches/Warnings and Forecast Cone for Storm Center


* If the storm is forecast to dissipate within 3 days, the “Full Forecast” and “3 day” graphic will be identical

Click Here for a 5-day Cone Printer Friendly Graphic

How to use the cone graphic (video):

Link to video describing cone graphic

About this product:

This graphic shows an approximate representation of coastal areas under a hurricane warning (red), hurricane watch (pink),
tropical storm warning (blue) and tropical storm watch (yellow). The orange circle indicates the current position of the
center of the tropical cyclone. The black line, when selected, and dots show the National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecast track of the center
at the times indicated. The dot indicating the forecast center location will be black if the cyclone is forecast to be
tropical and will be white with a black outline if the cyclone is forecast to be extratropical. If only an L is displayed,
then the system is forecast to be a remnant low. The letter inside the dot indicates the NHC’s forecast intensity for that time:

D: Tropical Depression – wind speed less than 39 MPH
S: Tropical Storm – wind speed between 39 MPH and 73 MPH
H: Hurricane – wind speed between 74 MPH and 110 MPH
M: Major Hurricane – wind speed greater than 110 MPH

NHC tropical cyclone forecast tracks can be in error. This forecast
uncertainty is conveyed by the track forecast “cone”, the solid white
and stippled white areas in the graphic. The solid white area depicts
the track forecast uncertainty for days 1-3 of the forecast, while the
stippled area depicts the uncertainty on days 4-5. Historical data
indicate that the entire 5-day path of the center of the tropical
cyclone will remain within the cone about 60-70% of the time. To
form the cone, a set of imaginary circles are placed along the
forecast track at the 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96, and 120 h positions,
where the size of each circle is set so that it encloses 67% of the
previous five years official forecast errors. The cone is then formed
by smoothly connecting the area swept out by the set of circles.

It is also important to realize that a tropical cyclone is not a point. Their
effects can span many hundreds of miles from the center. The area
experiencing hurricane force (one-minute average wind speeds of at least
74 mph) and tropical storm force (one-minute average wind speeds of
39-73 mph) winds can extend well beyond the white areas shown enclosing
the most likely track area of the center. The distribution of hurricane
and tropical storm force winds in this tropical cyclone can be seen in
the Wind History graphic linked above.

Considering the combined forecast uncertainties in track, intensity, and size, the
chances that any particular location will experience winds of 34 kt (tropical storm force),
50 kt, or 64 kt (hurricane force) from this tropical cyclone are presented in

tabular form for selected locations and forecast positions
. This information is also presented in
graphical form for the 34 kt, 50 kt,
and 64 kt thresholds.

Note:  A detailed definition of the NHC track forecast cone is also available.

Tropical Storm Gordon Forecast Discussion

TCDAT2

Tropical Storm Gordon Discussion Number  16
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL072024
500 AM AST Sun Sep 15 2024

Due to strong westerly shear, deep convection associated with
Gordon is located at least 120 n mi to the east of the exposed
center of circulation.  An ASCAT-C pass from last evening revealed
that maximum winds were barely tropical storm force just to the
north of the center, and the latest satellite intensity estimates
suggest Gordon may have weakened further since that time.  The
initial intensity is held at 35 kt for now, but additional ASCAT
data should help us re-assess Gordon's maximum winds later this
morning.

Gordon has been moving west-southwestward (255/9 kt), steered by a
low- to mid-level ridge to the north.  The cyclone is forecast to
turn westward later today, but the ridge is expected to weaken
during the next few days, which should cause Gordon to slow down
considerably.  A mid- to upper-level trough is expected to amplify
northeast of the Leeward Islands by the middle of the week, and
Gordon is likely to respond by slowing down to speeds of less than
5 kt while gradually turning northwestward and then northward on
days 3-5.  The updated NHC forecast has been shifted slightly south
of the previous prediction during the first 3 days of the forecast,
trending toward the HFIP Corrected Consensus, and then shows a
slightly sharper recurvature on days 4 and 5.

Continued shear, a dry mid-level atmosphere, and a subsident
upper-level environment are likely to cause Gordon to weaken to a
tropical depression later today.  In fact, all of the global models
show the wind field weakening and broadening during the next couple
of days, and it's entirely possible that Gordon could degenerate
into a remnant low at any time if deep convection wanes.  If
Gordon survives the next few days, the environment could become a
little more conducive for strengthening toward the end of the
forecast period.  The NHC intensity forecast generally follows a
blend of the GFS and ECMWF models, which lie near the lower bound of
the guidance.
