Senate Democrats split as the Biden régime eyes strict border move ( www.axios.com )

After months of Democrats looking to outmaneuver Republicans on immigration using Republicans' own right-wing fear-mongering talking points, it looks like a few cracks have emerged in the Democratic coalition.

Poor immigration policy leaves skilled workers vulnerable to employer abuse (again) ( web.archive.org )

Analysis of current data shows that more than one million Indians now sit in employment-based immigration backlogs. Many of these are highly skilled professionals who face potentially decades-long waits to gain permanent residence (a green card) due to a per-country limit and the low annual quota.

Texas county at center of border fight is overwhelmed by migrant deaths ( web.archive.org )

Yet another 100 activists met at City Hall before marching to Broad and Vine streets where they tied up the entrances to the I-676 Expressway for 30 minutes.
