Texas’ Proposed ‘Border Protection Unit’ Doubles Down on Failed Deterrence Policies - Texas lawmakers are pushing to increase the state’s role in enforcing federal immigration laws—despite Supreme Court precedent making clear that immigration enforcement is the federal government’s responsibility. A bill currently before the Texas legislature, HB 20, would create a Border Protection Unit, which would establish a group of officers – and deputized civilians – to “arrest, apprehend, or detain persons crossing the Texas-Mexico border unlawfully.” The risks of this legislation extend beyond just what this force might do to migrants, as any agent or civilian involved might be subject to legal liability for acting without constitutional authority. It would likely be a money dump at Texas taxpayers’ expense.
After Securing Key Reductions In Federal Non-Defense Spending, Congresswoman Van Duyne Votes for the “Limit, Save, Grow Act” - For two years, Democrats failed to listen to non-partisan economists who warned of the consequences of reckless partisan spending. Ultimately, their spending delivered skyrocketing inflation, which has inflicted painful consequences on families across the country. With a crushing national debt of more than $31 trillion, we must scrutinize every dollar and penny spent by the federal government. In the Limit, Save, Grow Act, House Republicans propose strategic policies to include in a debt limit increase, including restoring American energy independence, cutting discretionary non-defense spending, and expanding pro-growth tax policies.
Demanding Answers on the Chinese Communist Party Police Station in New York - Representative August Pfluger sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and FBI Director Christopher Wray requesting information on the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) clandestine ‘police stations’ uncovered in New York City and reportedly elsewhere in the country, which violate our nation’s sovereignty by suppressing Chinese dissidents living in the U.S., conducting surveillance, and spreading CCP propaganda.
"Fighting for the Soul of America" - Who Will Win? - The present occupant of the White House recently released a three-minute video announcing his bid for reelection. To hear Biden say that, “we were in a battle for the soul of America and we still are” is satanic. Heaven help us if Biden is reelected. We are in an actual spiritual battle for our lives and our country. Only you can make the difference. Voting, prayer and sharing information about the candidates will be part of the work we need to do to save our nation. Sonja Harris discusses the irony of Biden's campaign announcement.
