The Biden administration introduced an asylum rule in early 2023 to reduce border crossings, but it faced legal challenges, and by summer 2023, a court ruled that the policy violated Congressional law. After that ruling, months of negotiations seemed poised to produce a legislative solution, but Trump derailed the effort at the last minute. More recently, the administration implemented another asylum rule to tackle the same issue, but it’s already facing lawsuits and remains under court review. This rule is also likely to be struck down, and ultimately, this problem won’t be resolved without Congressional action.
Myths and Facts About Crime and Justice Reform Crime is at the center of many political debates. To improve public safety, and to ensure that those gains endure, policymakers should take a holistic view of the many factors that influence crime rates. The Brennan Center has been working for decades to fight fear with facts and build long-term solutions. The best available data finds that changes in bail policy don’t affect crime rates. Data does not support claims that the United States is experiencing a surge in crime caused by immigrants. Despite spikes in some cities, crime data doesn’t show a nationwide increase in shoplifting and other forms of retail theft. Public safety and fairness are not competing interests. Preliminary FBI data, however imperfect, confirms a sharp downward trend in crime, undercutting attempts to blame criminal justice reform for pandemic-era spikes in violence. The former president took the stage at CPAC to paint a bleak and highly misleading portrait of crime and public safety.
Not sure why you put bipartisan in quotes. James Lankford is one of the most conservative members of the Senate and co-authored the bill along with Chris Murphy and Kyrsten Sinema. That's about as close to crowd-pleasing as you can get in DC.
From the CATO Institute The results in this updated brief show that in Texas in 2017, illegal immigrants were 47 percent less likely to be convicted of a crime than native-born Americans and legal immigrants were about 65 percent less likely to be convicted of a crime than native-born Americans. The conviction and arrest rates for illegal immigrants were lower than those for native-born Americans but higher than those for legal immigrants. This result holds in just about every case, including homicide, sex crimes, larceny, and most other crimes. ... The vast majority of research finds that immigrants do not increase local crime rates and that they are less likely to cause crime or be incarcerated than native-born citizens.2 There is less research on illegal immigrant criminality, but what research there is shows that illegal immigrants have lower incarceration rates nationwide relative to native-born Americans, had lower conviction and arrest rates in Texas in 2015, and had the same rates of re-arrest in Los Angeles County in 2002.3 Recent peer-reviewed empirical studies on illegal immigrant criminality have found no link between violent crime and the illegal immigration population. They also found a negative relationship between the number of illegal immigrants and most types of nonviolent crime on the local level.4
No, it wasn't close to 60, but that's because Trump asked Republicans to vote against it, and they obeyed his order.
It stands to reason for a few reasons IMO. 1) Immigrants have a lot more to lose if they break the law. Illegal immigrants face harsher punishments and legal immigrants risk their status altogether. Given how difficult (and how much luck can be a factor) it is to legally immigrate, throwing that all away by breaking the law has to be extra disincentivizing. Even someone who immigrates illegally is likely doing so to send money back to their family, so getting caught means financial calamity for their loved ones. 2) Immigrating (illegally or legally) to another country is hard. Legal immigrants likely have more resources and education, so naturally they would be less pre-disposed to crime. Even illegal immigration is a self-selecting process that filters out rabble to some degree. If you want to live a life of crime, I think you're better off staying someplace that has a weak public safety apparatus and more corrupt law enforcement. The lone exception to that would be drug-running of course, due to honeypot our laws create.
John McEntee, who served in the Trump Administration and is part of Project 2025, posted a TikTok video questioning Harris’ claim that women were suffering due to abortion laws. Then the responses came—thousands of comments describing their stories. He asked in a now deleted vide: "Can someone track down the women Kamala Harris says are bleeding out in parking lots?" Carmen Broesder responded to him, saying: "Present, I'm right here." Carmen B. Not in Idaho (@geekynerdbitchcarmen) | TikTok Some of the other stories: Spoiler Some examples of the heartbreaking comments included: (WARNING: graphic) "Almost lost my ovaries at 21 while begging for a D&C they wouldn't give me until I was screaming at the drs..finally agreed because I was measuring behind." "My water suddenly broke and I went to the er, they sent me home. Started cramping and went back to the ER. I miscarried at 17 weeks in the restroom at the ER because I wasn't deemed an emergency." "One of my friends who bled for three days in a hospital room while her baby died inside her and the hospital wanted to help her but couldn't do anything" "I was told when I had a possible ectopic pregnancy that I would have to wait until it made me septic to get the surgery to save my life." "My daughter had to drive 12 hours from Texas with an ectopic that nearly killed her. She couldn't get a pill that would have saved her but ended up needing surgery because of the delay in care." "Had a cyst burst inside my uterus while pregnant causing a mc [miscarriage]. The on call doc said it's best to wait a week to see if it comes out naturally. Now I can have 0 children bc my uterus is gone." "I was so excited to find out I was pregnant with my second child, after miscarrying 5 times. In my 11th week, I started to spot and then gush blood. I was filling a super maxi pad every 15 min." "It almost happened to my wife this year, it's called a uterine dehiscence and we were 22 weeks and one day pregnant she began to rupture...she pretty much became a vessel in the state of Kansas." "Hi, I had to beg for help during my miscarriage and had to get a blood transfusion and stay in a hospital for over a week."
Please tell me this is true. Man wore the flag and kicked ass in the Olympics please tell me this is true!!!!!
This smug prick's videos are absolutely insufferable. The fact this douche canoe runs a dating website for conservatives makes a lot of sense. When you're that vile of a human you have to devote your entire career to finding women who aren't repulsed by your mere existence.
