All Democrats Are Dumber Than A 5th Grader....
BREAKING, Trump Announces Plan For Citizenship Question And It’s Dems Worst Nightmare
President Donald Trump just gave Democrats nightmares after he explained what will be done to determine citizenship of those residing in The United States.
He explained, on Thursday, that the government will use information available from other agencies to determine citizenship along with the Census.
But the part that is going to be damaging to Democrats is that, as the president said, this information could now be used to draw redistricting maps for voting.
“Are you a citizen of the United States of America? Oh, gee, I’m sorry, I just can’t answer that question. And that’s after spending billions and billions of dollars,” he said.
“There used to be a time when you could answer questions like that very easily. There used to be a time when you could proudly declare, I am a citizen of the United States.
“Now they’re trying to erase the very existence of a very important word and a very important thing, citizenship. They’re even coming after the pledge of allegiance in Minnesota. I’m proud to be a citizen. You’re proud to be a citizen. The only people who are not proud to be citizens are the ones who are fighting us all the way about the word ‘Citizen.’”
“Today, I am here to say that we are not backing down on our effort to determine the citizenship status of the United States population.
“I stand before you to outline new steps my administration is taking to ensure that citizenship is counted so that we know how many citizens we have in the United States. Make sense?
“We will defend the right of the American people to know the full facts about the population, size of citizens and noncitizens in America. It is essential that we have a clear breakdown of the number of citizens and non-citizens that make up the U.S. Populations. Imperative.
“Knowing this information is vital to formulating sound public policy, whether the issue is health care, education, civil rights, or immigration. We must have a reliable count of how many citizens, noncitizens, and illegal aliens are in our country.
“The department of commerce sensibly decided to include a citizenship question in the 2020 census, as has been done many, many times throughout the history of the United States. Unfortunately, this effort was delayed by meritless litigation.
“As shocking as it may be, far-left Democrats in our country are determined to conceal the number of illegal aliens in our midst. They probably know the number is far greater, much higher than anyone would have ever believed before. Maybe that’s why they...

Corruption in the Caribbean: FBI arrests Puerto Rico’s former education secretary on fraud charges
The FBI has arrested Julia Keleher, Puerto Rico’s former education secretary, and five other people on a combined 32 counts of fraud and related charges.
The Associated Press reported that Keleher and her alleged co-conspirators were accused of spending $13 million in federal money on unqualified contractors with political connections. Keleher’s assistant and that assistant’s sister were also arrested as part of the same case.
“It was alleged that the defendants engaged in a public corruption campaign and profited at the expense of the Puerto Rican citizens and students. This type of corruption is particularly egregious because it not only victimizes tax payers, it victimizes those citizens and students that are in need of educational assistance,” Neil Sanchez, the special agent in charge of the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Inspector General’s Southern Region said, according to the AP.
In addition to Keleher, former Puerto Rico Health Insurance Administration head Ángela Ávila-Marrero was arrested and charged with spending $2.5 million in federal funds on similar contractors for political purposes. Neither former official is...
U.S. Begins Returning Asylum Seekers, Expanding Remain in Mexico
The Federal Government has started returning non-Mexican migrants who claim asylum, after illegally entering the United States at the Texas border city of Laredo, back to Mexico. These returns mark the first expansion of the "Remain in Mexico" policy since the U.S. and Mexico brokered a deal to avert additional tariffs being placed on the country.
Customs and Border Protection officials were slated to make the first returns on Tuesday, a Department of Homeland Security official told CBS News. Ten people had been returned so far, according to a Mexican official. This means the U.S. government will now send immigrants who illegally enter the country hoping to claim asylum, mostly from Central America, back to the Mexican border town of Nuevo Laredo in the state of Tamaulipas.
The policy, which is being challenged in court, has been under scrutiny from mass-immigration advocates, Democrats, and those who support open borders. They argue the policy violates international law and puts asylum seekers at risk, especially those who have already subjected themselves to the dangerous trip from South America to the U.S. Southern Border. In an attempt to prevent more asylum seekers from disappearing into the United States as they await their immigration court date, to which approximately 90% do not appear, the policy has come under fire as those who support mass-immigration argue that the conditions in Mexico are not up to par with what is expected for migrants.
According to CBS, by implementing the policy, officially called the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), at the Laredo port of entry, the Trump administration is fulfilling its pledge to expand the program along the entire southern border as part of an effort to deter migrants from Central America. Currently, the policy is also in place at ports of entry in El Paso, Calexico, and San Diego — where it made its debut last December under former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. More than 18,500 asylum seekers have returned from these ports of entry to wait in Mexico for their dates in U.S. courts, according to figures by the Mexican government.
After the deal was brokered, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called the "full-blown" expansion of MPP a "big deal" in the government's efforts to curb the flow of migration from Central American countries. In May, apprehensions at the southern border hit a 13-year high. The number of apprehensions in June, however, is expected to decrease significantly because of Mexico's amped-up immigration enforcement and the...
