Month: November 2023

We need a Bill to arrest illegal immigrants? On Wednesday, November 15th., The Messenger published this headline, “Texas Approves Bill That Allow State Police to Arrest Illegal Border Crossers“. The Texas House of Representatives passed immigration bills on Tuesday allocating more than $1.5 billion for border barriers and making it a crime to illegally cross the Texas-Mexico border. One bill sets aside $1.54 billion for the construction of additional border barriers and pays for state troopers to patrol Colony Ridge, an exurb Republicans say harbors undocumented immigrants. A second bill would make it a misdemeanor to illegally cross the border from […]

Welcome to America! On Monday, November 13th., The New York Post ran this headline, “Fed-up migrants who trekked thousands of miles to US already heading home: ‘American Dream doesn’t exist’”. Some Venezuelan migrants who trekked thousands of miles to the US in search of a better life are so disheartened they say they’re already heading back home. Michael Castejon, 39, told the Chicago Tribune he has had enough after he, his wife and teenage stepdaughter spent five months sleeping either in a police precinct or a crowded city shelter in the now-brutally cold Windy City. He’s also been unable to secure a […]

Truth be told! Last week, The Gateway Pundit ran an article from a black woman, Sharika Soal, headlined, “The Historical Context Of ‘White Supremacy’ Has In Some Cases Contributed To The Survival Of Black Americans Over The Years.” Black American men and women have spent the last 25 years building homemade recording studios so they could one day “get out of the hood” and live among rich white men. The white man built the legal system, the discovery of science, and enough hospitals to keep their race alive and thriving. Black Americans, however, only own three hospitals in the country at this time. […]

Since when is protecting our border dehumanizing? On Monday, November 6th., Public News Service ran this headline, “Civil rights groups call Texas’ proposed laws, razor wire dehumanizing.” The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas is opposed to Senate Bill 11, which would make it a state crime for illegally entering Texas from Mexico, and authorize state police to arrest violators. It’s similar to legislation that failed to pass in an earlier session this year. ACLU Senior Staff Attorney David Donatti said, “Texas should treat immigration like the human right that it is and create a humane, fair and welcoming process – instead […]

Some people confuse love for hate, hence this headline, “White Christians Are More Likely To Deny Racism Exists“, published on Friday, November 3rd., by Black Information Network. White Christians are more likely to deny that racism exists, according to a new survey. The survey, which was conducted by the Pew Research Center in April, asked Americans to answer the following question about race relations: “Which issue poses a more significant challenge to the country regarding race – the tendency to overlook racism when it’s present or the inclination to perceive racism where it doesn’t exist?” 53 percent of Americans said […]

America’s double standard. Recently, USA Today published this headline, “Gender-affirming care is life-saving, research says Why is it so controversial?” Charlie Adams started taking testosterone four-and-a-half years ago. The 27-year-old’s risk of cardiovascular disease increased slightly; it ticked up from someone assigned female at birth to someone who’s male. “That can be taken out of context pretty easily,” says Adams, a medical student from the Midwest, who’s all too aware of the debates around transgender health care. Gender-affirming care is a valid, science-backed method of medicine that saves lives and that research shows results in better mental health outcomes, despite many states rolling […]

Just what America needs. The Hill on Sunday, October 29th., published this headline, “Tensions rise between new and established migrants“. Tensions are reaching a fever pitch between newly arrived migrants and longtime immigrant and minority communities over perceptions of unfair distribution of government benefits. The frustration, which is centered in big cities, is twofold: Many undocumented and mixed-status families feel overlooked as new arrivals become eligible for work permits, and in many communities of color, spending on shelter for asylum-seekers is viewed in contrast to scarcity in other social programs. “The narrative out there has been somewhat distorted to present the […]
