Forgot to add: Trump closing the border.Weekend political absurdity
• According to Reuters, March is on track for 100,000 border apprehensions, which would be the highest monthly number in more than a decade. And yet, Democrats continue to deny there is a border emergency. Most of those people can remain in the United States while their asylum claims are processed, which can take years because of ballooning immigration court backlogs. There have been ten so-called caravan to depart for the United States since October.
• Texas towns are being inundated with refugees released because of overcrowding at border holding centers. In McAllen, Texas Organizers there are used to handling 200 to 300 migrants a day. Lately, the migrants have been arriving at a clip of around 800 a day, overflowing the respite center and straining city resources. “It’s staggering,” McAllen City Manager Roy Rodriguez said. “Really, we’ve never seen anything like this before.”
• Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez falsely claims Republicans amended Constitution to kick FDR out of office. The no-third term amendment was passed in 1947. FDR died in 1945.
• Trump cuts aid to three Central American countries as migrant crisis deepens - El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. FOX news ran a banner that read: "TRUMP CUTS AID TO 3 MEXICAN COUNTRIES"
• Former Nevada Assembly member Lucy Flores claims Joe Biden acted inappropriately to her and countless others with his hugs and kisses. Flores who will support Sanders or O’Rourke in the primary says it was not down for political reason.
Poor Uncle, Joe. Not political? Seriously?
• Campaigning in El Paso, Beto O’Rourke claimed America is a safer place because of immigrants. “We are safe, not despite the fact that we are a city of immigrants and asylum seekers. We are safe because we are a city of immigrants and asylum seekers.”
Hey Beto, it was reported that organizations don't have the necessary resources to care for the asylum seekers. What's your plan? They could be here for a long stay!
Thank God that the election is 21 months away. Maybe, just maybe something good will come out of this madness!
