Bernie is right, rich people like him should pay their fair share of taxes.  Beyond that, not really going to pay much attention to a Communist/Socialist who has never worked a day in his life.

Who would allow an unlimited number of complete strangers to just enter your home unannounced without permission, to set up housekeeping, and to expect you to pay for their food, lodging, health care, clothes, etc.?  The homeowner is then in competition with the intruder for use of the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc.   

It just doesn't make sense to allow illegals to stay, imho.  Do they not compete with citizens and legal residents for jobs, groceries, emergency rooms, etc?  Looks like the question "when is enough....enough ?" has been answered by the 2024 election.  Common sense has returned.

Federal Appeals Court Upholds Block on SF 2340, Iowa’s Anti-Immigrant Law

 

ST. LOUIS, Mo. — The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit today upheld a temporary block on SF 2340, Iowa's worst-ever immigration law.

The Iowa law was passed during the 2024 Iowa legislative session and was temporarily blocked by the courts just weeks after. It conflicts with federal law and would have a number of dramatic consequences for Iowans. It creates new crimes for anyone in Iowa, including a child, who has reentered the country after being deported — even if that person is now authorized to be in the U.S.

The appeals court agreed with the federal district court that the law is unconstitutional and that every part of the law should remain blocked while litigation continues.

 

The court was considering two lawsuits asking that SF 2340 be declared unconstitutional and blocked. One was by the U.S. Department of Justice; the other was by the American Immigration Council, the American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa, and the national ACLU on behalf of Iowa Migrant Movement for Justice and the thousands of immigrants that the organization assists, including two individual Iowans.

Emma Winger, deputy legal director at the American Immigration Council, said, “Across the country right now, immigrant families are living in fear. Thankfully, for now, communities in Iowa don't have to worry about this cruel law, which would have subjected even some people living lawfully in the U.S. to arrest and deportation. Concerningly, states across the country are still working to pass harsh anti-immigrant laws that would completely upend the balance of power between states and the federal government in immigration enforcement. Empowering individual states to run our immigration laws is unconstitutional and throws our immigration system deeper into chaos."

In the statement I bolded, there seems to be some petulance of the Leftist NGOs that are all in favor of open borders.  They left out the word "illegal" to their statement, but hey, whatever creates hysteria I guess.   Yes, this law probably exceeds federal immigration laws and rules, but doesn't California's environmental laws and regulations exceed those of the federal government and yet are allowed to stand due to a waiver by the EPA.  Maybe DHS can grant a waiver to Iowa for this.

Poland allows police to open fire on migrants at the Belarusian border

Published on : 2024/07/24

 

Polish MPs have approved a new measure which authorizes agents on the Belarusian border to fire live ammunition at migrants, for "self-defense" or in a "preventive manner." The law angered NGOs, who point to an already very tense situation in the area.

On July 12, the Polish Parliament authorized security forces deployed on the Belarusian border - soldiers, border guards, police officers - to fire live ammunition "preventively" or in "self-defense" at anyone who attempts to cross the border irregularly.
