The Unsecured Border Is A National Security Threat The worsening situation at the southern border represents an immense threat to the United States, according to a national security expert who spoke at an event last week in Austin. Sydnie Henry has the details [[link removed]].

A senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, Todd Bensman explained: “Forty-eight percent of everybody reaching our borders are from 150 other countries. That is a national security threat.”

According to Bensman, Mexicans and South Americans aren’t the only groups illegally crossing the border. He also sees people from places like the “Islamic Republic of Mauritania.” He added that he has “probably met somebody from every country on the African continent.”

While acknowledging there are Africans fleeing legitimate persecution, Bensman said [[link removed]] that without appropriate documentation there is no way to tell if they are a victim or a war criminal.

Bensman highlighted the case of a Liberian man called Jungle Java, who lied his way into the U.S. on an asylum claim in the late 1990s during the Second Liberian Civil War. It turns out Jungle Java was a vicious criminal who “commanded a unit that specialized in cannibalism.” He was sentenced to 30 years in prison just two years ago.

Paxton Asks SCOTUS To Protect Texas From Cost Of Illegal Aliens

Leading a 14-state coalition, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a brief with the Supreme Court. It was made in response to the Biden administration’s decision to quietly abolish a federal immigration rule that protects taxpayers from the financial burden of illegal immigration. Emily Wilkerson has the story [[link removed]].

“With America in the midst of a recession and families across the country already facing record-high inflation, it’s completely reprehensible to expect taxpayers to foot the bill for hundreds of millions of dollars to sponsor more and more illegal aliens,” said Paxton [[link removed]].

The rule in question is called the “public-charge rule,” which came into effect in 1999. The rule prohibits the entry of any illegal alien who is likely to become financially dependent on the government—and, therefore, the taxpayers.

In May, Paxton revealed [[link removed]] that illegal immigration costs Texas taxpayers more than $850 million each year, including benefits like housing and education.

Texas A&M Sued For Discriminating… Against White and Asian Men A finance professor at the University of Texas has filed a class-action lawsuit accusing the Texas A&M University system and several university officials of discriminating against white and Asian men. Katy Drollinger has the details [[link removed]].

The lawsuit, filed by professor Richard Lowery, includes a memo from the university’s Office for Diversity highlighting the university’s designation as a “Hispanic Serving Institution.” The institution also promises to allocate $2 million in salary and benefits for new hires from “underrepresented minority groups that contribute to moving the structural composition of our faculty towards parity with that of the State of Texas.”

To accomplish this, Texas A&M created the ACES Plus Fellowship, which only allowed “African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, Native Americans, Alaskan Natives, and Native Hawaiians” to apply.

The lawsuit claims [[link removed]] that by setting aside funds only for applicants of a specific racial makeup and by attempting to achieve racial “parity” with the state’s demographics, the university violated Title IX and discriminated against white and Asian men.

“We must extract the poison of bigotry coursing deep through the leadership of Texas A&M and restore civil rights and equality for all. Our lawsuit will send tremors through our corrupt institutions of ‘higher learning’ making clear that racial discrimination will be met with righteous legal action in our courts of law,” said Stephen Miller [[link removed]], president of America First Legal, whose organization is handling the lawsuit.

As a (usually) proud graduate of Texas A&M, all I can say is [[link removed]], “Beat the Hell outta leftist university policies!”

🔊 [[link removed]] Debate: Why School Choice? On the latest episode of his show [[link removed]], Luke Macias has a friendly debate with Nicki Truesdell on the future of school choice in Texas.

As Luke explains, “This policy has a better chance of getting to Governor Abbott’s desk than ever before. As a result, these discussions are happening more often. Nicki and I agree on almost everything outside of school choice, and I wanted to give a platform to her opinion and allow Texans to hear both sides.”

Parents left a six-hour school board meeting this week still unsatisfied with Prosper Independent School District officials’ response to a months-long cover-up of a sex abuse scandal involving an elementary school bus driver who was arrested in early May. Erin Anderson has the report [[link removed]].

The scandal became public on August 25 when a family sued Prosper ISD for failing to protect their two daughters from more than 100 instances of sexual assault over nine months. The district knew about, and covered-up, the assaults.

“The trust we have placed in the district to keep our kids safe is shattered,” said Emily Hildebrand [[link removed]], a mother of two Prosper ISD students. “It’s only going to be built back with transparency, which seems to be lacking.”

Today in History

On Sept. 15, 1896, a stunt staged in the made-up town of Crush, Texas, turned deadly in McLennan County. The “Crash at Crush” was designed to boost the public profile of the Katy Railroad. The company’s plan was to deliberately crash two train engines into each other as a spectacle in front of 40,000 people. The explosion resulted in three deaths and numerous injuries. ( Listen [[link removed]] to Brian Burns’ song The Crash at Crush [[link removed]].)
