THE FORUM DAILY

What a week!  

Our "Leading the Way" convening
<[link removed]> was a success.
Nearly 200 moderates and conservatives from more than 30 states learned
about immigration and border challenges, heard personal stories, and
talked about potential solutions. After advocating with more than 40
congressional offices Wednesday, yesterday we heard from Minnesota Sen.
Amy Klobuchar
<[link removed]>
(D) and discussed a healthier border dialogue
<[link removed]>
and the need to pass agricultural reforms
<[link removed]>
and the Afghan Adjustment Act
<[link removed]>,
among other topics. 

And we weren't alone. Farmers came to D.C. and called on the Senate to
pass the Farm Workforce Modernization Act
<[link removed]>,
per Chris Clayton of DTN
<[link removed]>.
And there's lots of talk about a solution for Dreamers. Suzanne Monyak
of Roll Call
<[link removed]>
reports on the push from Democratic senators and the openness of at
least a few Republicans, amid the overall challenging path.
(Ariana Figueroa of States Newsroom
<[link removed]>
has more.) 

A solution is essential to advance Texas' business and economy, our
own board member Glenn Hamer, president and CEO of the Texas Association
of Business, wrote in Texas outlets including My RGV News
<[link removed]>. 

Ongoing border challenges complicate things, as Caroline Coudriet
of Roll Call
<[link removed]>
reports. But we believe Republicans and Democrats can come together on
these issues. You can still get in on our week of action
<[link removed]> digitally. 

Lots more news to get to in our last abbreviated Forum Daily at least
for now. (Did you like the shorter version? Let us know.) I'm Dan
Gordon, VP of strategic communications at the Forum. Send suggestions
my way <mailto:[email protected]>, and have a great
weekend. 

**TITLE 42** - The judge who blocked the use of Title 42 on Tuesday
has delayed it for five weeks (Priscilla Alvarez and Tierney Sneed, CNN
<[link removed]>). In the
meantime, DHS is looking at how it might still block Venezuelans after
Title 42 ends (Rebecca Beitsch, The Hill
<[link removed]>). 

**RHETORIC VS. SOLUTIONS** - A letter about the border from Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott (R) to President Biden contains anti-immigrant
rhetoric, with concerning implications (Armando Garcia, ABC News
<[link removed]>).
Related: In The xxxxxx
<[link removed]>,
our friend Alan Cross urges Republicans to govern with solutions rather
than employ such rhetoric -and urges Democrats to join them in merging
security and compassion.  

**NEW SHELTER RULE** - Faith-based His House <[link removed]>
in Miami has been Florida's largest shelter for unaccompanied migrants
for 26 years. The shelter recently filed a complaint against the state
Department of Children and Families after the agency denied license
renewal because His House cares for unaccompanied migrant kids. (Katie
LaGrone, The E.W. Scripps Company
<[link removed]>) 

MIGRANT TRANSPORT STUNT - Text messages between high-level
coordinators of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis's (R) migrant flights to
Martha's Vineyard reveal granular details about logistics - mixed
with notes about celebrating their efforts. (Samantha J. Gross, Boston
Globe
<[link removed]>) 

CBP

**AGENT KILLED** - A gun battle off Puerto Rico's coast resulted in
the death of a Customs and Border Protection agent. Two others were
wounded, and one person aboard the suspected smuggling vessel also was
killed. (Michael Levenson and Víctor Manuel Ramos, The New York Times
<[link removed]>)
 

NANA'S LATIN GRAMMY - Last but definitely not least - the
co-winner of Best New Artist in last night's Latin Grammys is 95 years
old. Originally from Cuba, Angela Alvarez always wanted to be a singer,
but her father rejected the idea. With her grandson's help, she was
able to record some of her songs. (Sydney Page, The Washington Post
<[link removed]>;
Marysabel Huston-Crespo, CNN
<[link removed]>)
