| | In recent months, stories from both the legacy media and the independent media have continued to pile up on how undocumented foreign nationals—also known as "migrants" and "illegal aliens"—are able to take advantage of a vast network of taxpayer-funded benefits in daycare, medical care, housing, and more. For example, both the New York Post and Denver Post report that these foreign nationals have "overwhelmed" the Denver Health hospital system in Denver, and that the situation is "unsustainable." Meanwhile, public schools report classrooms are filling up quickly with the children of these foreign nationals. Denver is hardly alone. The New York Post notes that both the City of New York and the state government have expanded local welfare programs, including pre-paid credit cards, to further ensure that migrants continue to receive cash and resources from American taxpayers. This is in addition to the approximately 66,000 foreign nationals who are housed in hotels and shelters, care of both New York and federal taxpayers. USAToday reports that colleges "across the country" are receiving millions in taxpayer money to offer housing to migrants at no charge. Chicago's mayor is bragging he's giving away $17 million in taxpayer-funded giveaways to "asylum seekers" who are presently living off the sweat of the taxpayers in government shelters. This, of course, is just a down payment on many more planned giveaways. | | | NOTABLE QUOTES | Selwyn Duke contributor to American Thinker: So what’s telling about those I correctly call MUSS (Made-up Sexual Status, aka “transgender”) activists is that they, quite instinctively, don’t even think to accuse us of insanity. They may say we’re bigots. Or “transphobes.” Or they may accuse us of “genocide.” But telling us we’re simply crazy for denying an objective reality never occurs to the MUSS crew (though it may become a strategy if enough of them read this piece). This is because objectively speaking, we’re not denying an objective reality. They, not we, are the crazy ones. Travis posted on XC: After New York real estate developers threatened to pack up and leave after the Trump verdict, Governor Kathy Hochul promised that they have nothing to worry about. Why would she say this? They’ve all admitted that they do what Trump does and it’s common practice, so why did she tell them they won’t be sued? It’s clear once again that this is all politics. Samuel Mangold-Lenett is a staff editor at The Federalist: Israel is competent and capable of defending itself from those seeking to eradicate it; America is not. Those seeking to unmake the U.S. quite literally control it and are invested in perpetuating its destruction. If we are to take anything away from the Oct. 7 attacks, other than re-familiarizing ourselves with Hamas’ brutality and capacity for evil, it should be a grim understanding that a similar fate awaits those who dissent from the current American orthodoxy. | | | MORE ARTICLES | The Prickly Pear will provide current, linked articles about Arizona consistent with our Mission Statement to ‘inform, educate and advocate’.

Not only has the president empowered Iran by relaxing former President Donald Trump’s sanctions on the world’s top state sponsor of terrorism, but he has also empowered Iran’s proxies through various geopolitical moves that make war more likely. Biden is not alone; previous administrations have directed funds to ostensible U.S. allies in the region, funds that likely contribute to the proxies’ forces. | | If Adrian Fontes likes spending time in court, he’s going to have a fun time in 2024. In case you’ve lost count, Arizona’s Secretary of State has been sued three times over his Elections Procedures Manual (EPM) in just the last two weeks. That’s what happens when you produce one of the most radical EPMs in Arizona’s history. At the end of January, Senate President Warren Petersen and House Speaker Ben Toma filed a lawsuit against Fontes over a variety of provisions in his EPM that violate or conflict with current election laws in our state. But the party was just getting started. | | MUST SEE VIDEOS | | | | | | | ABOUT THE PRICKLY PEAR | The Prickly Pear (ThePricklyPear.org) is focused on delivering timely, fact-based news, and citizen opinion that reflects our mission to “inform, educate and advocate about the principles of limited government and personal liberty.” Please follow us on Twitter @PricklyPear_AZ for all our latest content. | | |
