No Asylum. Period. | The Heritage Foundation
No Asylum. Period. | The Heritage Foundation:
The only reason for these aliens to delay asserting asylum until they reach the U.S. is that they have no credible claim of being persecuted and simply want to get into America for economic or other reasons that don’t meet the requirements of U.S. asylum law.
Enforcing this discretionary rule would encourage the Mexican government to return to their native countries all Central and South Americans who illegally enter Mexico on their way to the U.S. Right now, Mexico is not only shifting this problem to the U.S., it is encouraging illegal immigration by accommodating these caravans.

Scientific Survey Finds Voters of All Parties, Ages, and Genders Are Broadly Misinformed – Just Facts
"At a recent “get-out-the-vote” rally in Las Vegas, former first lady Michelle Obama declared that people don’t have to be informed in order to vote.
All they need, she said, is to “be a citizen,” “have opinions,” and want “a say in what happens.”
She emphasized, “I’ve been voting since I was 18 years old—and trust me—I didn’t know nothing about nothing at 18 years old.”

In contrast, James Madison—the father of the Constitution and primary author of the Bill of Rights—stressed that voters “must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.” Failure to do this, he said, will produce government that is “a farce or a tragedy; or, perhaps both.”
The results of a new scientific survey indicate that voters of all ages, political parties, and genders are following Obama’s lead instead of Madison’s.
Moreover, the survey shows that many voters are not only uninformed about major issues—they are positively misinformed..."

This is what they "teach" in our public universities----------Half of white women continue to vote Republican. What's wrong with them? | Moira Donegan | Opinion | The Guardian
"Some 53% of white women voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election – the real story of white women voters is both more grim and more complex than the figure reveals--MoiraDonegan
For the past two years, the American left has been haunted by a number: 53.
It is the percentage of white women who voted for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election.
...a reflection of the conventional wisdom that white women would rather choose the racism espoused by the Republican party than join in the moral coalition represented by men of color and other women.
...What is wrong with white women?
...It is likely that the white women who voted for him in 2016, and who will vote for him again in 2020, find this racist sadism gratifying.
It is fun for them.
But there is something else at play, something more complicated, in white women’s relationship to white patriarchy.
White women’s identity places them in a curious position at the intersection of two vectors of privilege and oppression: they are granted structural power by their race, but excluded from it by their sex.
In a political system where racism and sexism are both so deeply ingrained, white women must choose to be loyal to either the more powerful aspect of their identity, their race, or to the less powerful, their sex.
Some Republican white women might lean into racism not only for racism’s sake, but also as a means of avoiding or denying the realities of how sexist oppression makes them vulnerable..."
Yeah, it gets worse.
Read on to see what they are telling their troops.

Why Hasn't Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes Been Fired Yet? | Election
"If you been laboring under the assumption that Florida fixed their election system after the Bush-Gore debacle in the 2000 election, you've been sadly mistaken.
It's become clear in recent days that corruption abounds and all efforts to ensure the integrity of elections has been thrown out the window — at least in Broward County.
...all up in the air right now because the notoriously incompetent Broward County Board of Elections keeps "finding" new votes to count.
That would be fine if elections supervisor Brenda Snipes were following the laws requiring transparency in the process, but she's not.
The ballot canvassing process, which is by law subject to public scrutiny, is clothed in secrecy as Snipes refuses to obey laws requiring her to permit observers through every step of the process.
Not only that, but Snipes is making no attempt to even give the appearance that the ballot tabulating process is above board..."

Judicial Watch Sues DOJ for Records of Investigations into the Awan Brothers, Congressional Democrat IT Scandal - Judicial Watch
Judicial Watch Sues DOJ for Records of Investigations into the Awan Brothers, Congressional Democrat IT Scandal - Judicial Watch:
Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Justice Department for all records of communications relating to the investigation into former Democratic information technology (IT) staffers Abid Awan, Imran Awan, Jamal Awan and Hina R. Alvi (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:18-cv-02563)).
Imran Awan and his family were banned from the House computer network in February 2017 after the House’s top law enforcement officer wrote that Imran is “an ongoing and serious risk to the House of Representatives, possibly threatening the integrity of our information systems,” and that a server containing evidence had gone “missing.” The inspector general said server logs showed “unauthorized access” and procurement records were falsified.
