As I dive into the recent ruling by a federal judge affirming that illegal immigrants can possess guns under the Second Amendment, my mind races with thoughts and questions. The intricacies and nuances of constitutional law come to light as we delve into the debate surrounding this controversial decision. The Constitution, often referred to as the bedrock of American society, uses the language of “citizens” and “people” in different contexts. Where it employs the term “people,” it encompasses everyone, not just citizens. Could this be the key to unlocking the rights of all individuals, regardless of their legal status within the United States?… Continue reading
As I sit here, confronted with the news that the Arizona GOP is advancing a bill that would essentially legalize the killing of undocumented migrants on suspicion of trespassing, my mind reels in disbelief. How have we reached a point where a political party is advocating for such extreme and inhumane measures? The idea that someone could be shot and killed based solely on suspicion is not only barbaric but goes against the most basic principles of justice and humanity.
The fact that this bill is even being considered is a stark reminder of the deeply rooted racism and xenophobia that still permeate through certain segments of society.… Continue reading
Trump admits he ruined the border deal to hurt Democrats. Yes, you read that right. The man who was elected to serve the American people is openly admitting that he sabotaged legislation aimed at improving our border security just to score political points. This is not the behavior of a leader. This is the behavior of a selfish, power-hungry individual who cares more about his own interests than the well-being of the country.
For years, we have watched as Trump and his Republican cronies have spewed rhetoric about the crisis at the border. They have painted immigrants as villains, using fear and misinformation to push their agenda.… Continue reading
As I sit here and read about the Republicans privately admitting that they killed a good immigration deal, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of frustration and disappointment. It’s no secret that the GOP has been playing political games for years, but this revelation is particularly disheartening.
Democratic Senator Michael Bennet claims that his Republican colleagues privately confessed that this immigration deal was the toughest one they would ever get. And yet, they still chose to kill it. It’s infuriating to see politicians prioritize party loyalty over the needs and desires of the American people.
What strikes me the most about this situation is the stark contrast between what Republicans say in private and what they do in public.… Continue reading
Republicans Admit in Private That They Killed a Good Deal
As an observer of American politics, it both frustrates and disappoints me to see the shortcomings of our elected representatives. Democratic Senator Michael Bennet recently revealed that his Republican colleagues privately confessed that the immigration deal they rejected was the toughest one they would ever get. This admission speaks volumes about their true intentions and their commitment to public service.
One would think that those who enter politics do so with the intention of serving the public and making positive changes. However, it seems that some Republicans are more interested in following the bidding of former President Trump and maintaining their loyalty to him than in legislating effectively.… Continue reading
What the hell are they thinking? It’s a question that I find myself asking over and over again when it comes to the Republican Party and their actions. Time and time again, they claim to be upset about certain issues, like immigration, but when they gain power, they do absolutely nothing to address them. It’s a never-ending cycle of disappointment and frustration.
Take immigration, for example. Republicans have been up in arms about it since the 90s. They’ve made it a cornerstone of their campaigns, promising to crack down on illegal immigration and secure the border. Yet, whenever they have the opportunity to do something about it, they choose not to.… Continue reading
CONVOY: Protestors show up at Texas border and disappointment is everywhere
As news of the supposed “border crisis” spreads, it seems that many individuals are easily swayed by the manipulative tactics used by certain media outlets and political figures. The recent spectacle at the Texas border, where protestors gathered in anticipation of an “immigrant invasion,” has left many feeling disillusioned and let down.
It’s quite amusing to witness these individuals complain about being conned and deceived by the very people they put their trust in. They expected to witness hordes of immigrants attempting to cross the border, but instead, they found nothing but empty promises and false claims.… Continue reading
As I sit here, attempting to process the sheer audacity and cruelty of the words I have just read, I can’t help but feel a profound sense of exhaustion. How did we get to this point? How did we reach a place where Republican congressmen are openly discussing the idea of throwing migrants from helicopters? It’s almost too surreal to comprehend.
But then again, when I reflect on the current state of our political climate, perhaps I should not be entirely surprised. This is a party that claims to uphold “Family Values” while advocating for policies that tear families apart. This is a party that prides itself on being “Pro-life,” yet shows a shocking disregard for the lives of innocent migrants seeking a better future.… Continue reading
The recent incident of five asylum-seekers being arrested for assaulting police officers in Times Square has left me feeling frustrated and concerned. As a law-abiding citizen, I find it difficult to comprehend how individuals who have already displayed violent behavior in the past are not facing more severe consequences for their actions.
One of the assailants, Reveron, has a criminal history that includes assaulting employees in two separate incidents. Yet, instead of being immediately arrested and deported after his first assault, he was allowed to continue his violent behavior. This raises questions about the effectiveness of our asylum system and whether individuals who engage in such acts should be denied asylum altogether.… Continue reading
Republicans Agonize Over Supporting Bipartisan Border Bill They’d Insisted On
I sit here, reflecting deeply on the current state of politics in our country, specifically the recent developments surrounding the Republican Party and their stance on the bipartisan border bill. The very same bill that they had insisted on, claiming that it was crucial for the security and well-being of our nation. But now, as the opportunity arises to actually support and pass this bill, Republicans are seemingly agonizing over their decision.
It’s disheartening to see that political agendas and personal interests have once again taken precedence over the needs and wishes of the American people.… Continue reading
