New Immigration Rule Prohibits Illegal Migrants from Seeking Asylum: The Biden administration introduces a new rule to deny asylum for illegal migrants, marking the most aggressive action on the border since Biden's presidency, with concerns for taxpayer money and a shift in immigration policy.
The Biden administration has introduced a new immigration rule that could prohibit illegal migrants from seeking asylum. This marks the most aggressive action on the border since President Biden took office, as last fiscal year saw a record-breaking 2,760,000 illegal immigrant crossings. The White House is taking steps to address this issue, with the DOJ and DHS proposing a new rule that would make migrants ineligible for asylum if they enter the country illegally. This is a significant shift in immigration policy and could have major implications for those seeking asylum in the U.S. Additionally, there are concerns regarding the use of taxpayer money for a state department funded nonprofit that has cut ties with a group accused of blacklisting conservative news outlets. The discussion also touched upon the importance of consuming essential nutrients through fruits and vegetables, with Balance of Nature fruit and veggie capsules being a convenient solution for those with busy schedules.
New Rule Allows Border Agents to Deport Individuals Who Don't Request Protection from Previous Countries: Biden administration introduces new rule to encourage asylum seekers to use legal channels and reduce reliance on human smuggling networks, while addressing border crisis and Congress' lack of action on immigration
The Biden administration is implementing a new rule allowing border agents to deport individuals who fail to request protection from other countries they passed through on their way to the US. This rule is a response to the expiration of Title 42, a Trump-era immigration law that allowed for the immediate deportation of illegal immigrants. With 70% of Americans viewing the border situation as a crisis and largely blaming President Biden, the White House hopes this rule will encourage migrants to seek asylum at designated border crossings or through legal channels. It also aims to reduce the reliance on human smuggling networks. The administration is framing this as a necessary measure due to Congress' lack of action on immigration. However, the response to this new rule has been mixed, with some criticizing it as a departure from Democratic values and others viewing it as a necessary step to address the border crisis.
Biden's Environmental Justice Order Faces Criticism from Both Sides: Biden's order to allocate 40% of benefits to disadvantaged communities faces criticism from Republicans over border security and asylum concerns, while the far Left deems it anti-immigrant and inhumane due to partnership with openly Marxist group Justice 40.
The Biden administration's new executive order aimed at addressing environmental justice has faced criticism from both sides of the political aisle. While some Republicans have expressed concerns about the security of the border and the potential for abuse of the asylum system, the far Left has criticized the order as anti-immigrant and inhumane. The group partnering with the White House to implement these new policies, Justice 40, is being described as openly Marxist, adding to the controversy. The order itself aims to address environmental justice by directing federal agencies to allocate 40% of the benefits of their grants, programs, and initiatives to disadvantaged communities. However, the use of Justice 40, which advocates for a Green New Deal-style economic transformation, has raised eyebrows and concerns about the potential for government overreach and the implementation of radical policies. The administration's partnership with the group is likely to face legal challenges and intense scrutiny in the coming months.
Expanding DEI initiatives across federal agencies: The Biden administration issued a new executive order to expand DEI initiatives, allocating at least 40% of federal spending on climate change and infrastructure to marginalized communities, and establishing equity teams within each department.
The Biden administration has issued a new executive order to expand diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across federal agencies, creating a new bureaucracy and directing at least 40% of federal spending on climate change and infrastructure to "marginalized communities." This order builds upon a previous one from 2021, which allocated over a billion dollars to various social justice groups and race-based initiatives. The new order also includes the establishment of equity teams within each department and annual plans to be submitted to a White House steering committee. A specific initiative, Justice 40, which aims to address climate change and infrastructure in marginalized communities, has raised eyebrows due to its association with black power imagery and comments from its leader, Jackie Patterson, advocating for systemic change and redistribution of wealth, which aligns with Marxist political philosophies.
NED Cuts Ties with Global Disinformation Index Over Blacklisting Concerns: The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) ended its financial support for the Global Disinformation Index (GDI) due to concerns about GDI's efforts to blacklist conservative news outlets and potential domestic implications.
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a state department funded nonprofit, has cut ties with the Global Disinformation Index (GDI) following reports of GDI's efforts to blacklist conservative news outlets and receive funding from NED. NED provided $545,750 to GDI between 2020 and 2021, which was earmarked for overseas activity. However, the perception of NED's involvement in domestic blacklisting efforts led to the decision to no longer provide financial support. The argument is that the money given to an organization is ultimately fungible, and the funding for one particular endeavor could potentially be used for others. This development comes as former publisher of Forbes and global management professor at Arizona State, Jeff Cunningham, described the Justice 40 initiative as an executive order partnering with Marxists, adding to the ongoing discussions surrounding the role of government in regulating media and information.
US Government Funded Group Under Scrutiny for Censoring Domestic Media: The Global Disinformation Index, a group partly funded by the US National Endowment for Democracy, is under investigation for attempting to censor American media. The controversy raises concerns about government involvement in regulating information and potential implications for freedom of speech and press.
The Global Disinformation Index (GDI), a group funded in part by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), has come under scrutiny for its involvement in censoring domestic news outlets in the US. While some argue that the NED's funding of foreign activities does not absolve them from funding a group involved in domestic affairs, others believe it is important for the US to combat disinformation initiatives that pose a national security threat. However, the controversy deepens when a group receiving taxpayer dollars is found to be attempting to censor American media. Congressional leaders, including representatives Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, and James Comer, have announced investigations into the state department funding of GDI. The state department has since distanced itself from the group, but other organizations in the industry, such as NewsGuard, DoubleVerify, and Integral Ad Science, are also facing increased scrutiny. Overall, the debate raises questions about the role of the US government and affiliated groups in regulating information and the potential implications for freedom of speech and press.
