Cartel Protegido por Gobierno Extorsiona y Asesina a Citrícolas en Michoacán

Los cárteles de la droga que históricamente han sido protegidos por el gobierno en Michoacán han estado extorsionando a productores de cítricos y aguacate.

OPINION: Prioritizing American Students in Admissions and Visa Policy

Like two ships passing in the night, proponents and opponents of H1-B visas can’t see the forest through the trees. The void of American workers for qualified H‑1B positions was really caused by the ever-increasing scale and relaxed requirements of F‑1 student visas, and universities depending on international enrollment to balance budgets. Admissions at leading public institutions like Georgia Tech have become as competitive as elite private universities, yet a material share of limited undergraduate seats increasingly goes to non‑U.S. students who can pay full tuition and additional fees.

Texas Warns Millions of Food Benefit Cuts Caused By Schumer Shutdown Over Illegal Alien Benefits

Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) officials alerted more than 3.5 million low-income residents — including 1.7 million children — that November food benefits will be cut off if Democrats continue blocking budget negotiations in Washington. Republicans say the shutdown stems from Democratic demands to expand Obamacare benefits to illegal aliens, a move GOP leaders refuse to fund. With SNAP funding set to expire, Texas is complying with federal directives to halt payments, leaving vulnerable families at risk as the Schumer-led standoff drags on.
