What Do We Want? Everything! Migrants Send List of Demands to Denver City Officials
May 14, 2024

As the surge of illegal immigration began to unfold at the start of the Biden administration, the city of Denver, Colorado – or at least the politicians who run the city and state – decided that what most Americans see as a crisis would be a great opportunity for them to virtue signal. As recently as December 2022, both the mayor of Denver and the governor of Colorado issued proclamations declaring the Mile High City to be “a welcoming community, and we will support these individuals and families with the humanity and dignity they deserve while facing such a difficult situation…We will do what we can to provide for their needs at this time, including uniting them w/ friends, family, jobs & transportation to other destinations.”

Eighteen months later, it might be dawning on them that the response to their generosity with public resources has been more than they bargained for – a lot more. An estimated 40,000 migrants have turned up in Denver, stretching city and state resources to the breaking point. Things got so bad that just a few weeks later, the mayor declared an official state of emergency over migration. Things have only gotten worse since. In order to accommodate the needs of the migrants, the city has shifted resources away from the needs of its pre-existing homeless population and cut back on many vital services to its citizens.

This May Be the Most Far-Flung Argument Yet to Reward Illegal Aliens
May 15, 2024
 
Illegal aliens can’t legally drive in Missouri. Legislation passed in 2009 specifies that applicants for driver’s licenses must be U.S. citizens, or have proof of lawful presence in the United States. Admirably, Missouri is holding fast against trends to the contrary. Nineteen states plus the District of Columbia now grant driver’s licenses to illegal aliens.

This, of course, does not deter mass immigration advocates from pushing their agenda and trying to systematically whittle away at the rule of law. To them, Missouri is simply another challenge to overcome. Now, thanks to researchers at left-leaning Washington University in St. Louis, they have a new argument to use, one that may hold the record as the most over-reaching, painfully desperate justification ever advanced for extending benefits to illegal aliens.

New research from the university, published in the lofty American Sociological Association’s Journal of Health and Social Behavior, finds that, “Birth outcomes improve in states that extend driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants.”

Joe Biden faces potentially nightmarish June swoon with his re-election hopes fading
Opinion by Michael Goodwin • 12h


‘APRIL is the cruelest month,” poet T. S. Eliot famously declared.

Joe Biden might beg to differ.

June is shaping up as a potential nightmare for the 81-year-old president.

His re-election, his legacy and son Hunter Biden’s freedom are all on the line over the course of a month-long gantlet.
 
And he has only himself to blame.

Biden’s surprising demand last week that Donald Trump debate him twice, with the first face-off in June, underscores his desperation to get his campaign back on track.

His insistence on a televised showdown in a month already crammed with high-stakes events reveals that Biden knows his bid for a second term is in deep trouble.

Trailing in most if not all of the swing states and getting disastrous ratings from voters, he’s ready to put his chips on the table five months before the election.

Trump agreed to both debates, with the first scheduled for June 27 and the second for Sept. 10.

Biden makes fresh appeals to Black voters, hoping they can return him to the White House

 CNN By Michael Williams, Kevin Liptak and Arlette Saenz 5/17/2024

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.

President Joe Biden is working to reverse an erosion of support among Black voters this week, placing renewed focus on a group he hopes can once again help propel him to the White House like they did four years ago.

A string of events designed to commemorate civil rights milestones and address the next generation of leaders at Martin Luther King Jr.’s alma mater comes amid polls showing Black voters flocking from Biden, frustrated by what they regard as inaction on their top priorities and turned off by his handling of the economy and the Israel-Hamas war.

In marking the anniversary of the historic Brown v. Board of Education case that found laws promoting segregation unconstitutional, Biden hopes to reiterate his commitment to promoting and advancing historic gains by the Black community over the past 70 years.

And a speech at Morehouse College in Atlanta on Sunday, already the subject of controversy amid nationwide campus protests, will aim to uplift the next generation of Black men – a voting group where Biden’s decline in support has been most marked.

Since the Civil Rights era, Democratic presidential candidates have enjoyed wide support from Black voters. Yet leaders of several Black grassroots organizations have warned the president should not take for granted the support of Black Americans.

In the months before November, Biden is hoping both to underscore his own record and to reinvigorate the memories of all voters about what life was like under a Trump presidency.

“He has to answer two questions: Why go out and bother to vote, which is almost the same question of what’s in it for me for voters,” said Biden campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond. “And then he has to answer the Janet Jackson test of: ‘What have you done for me lately?’”
