Immigration Reform

Texas Governor, Greg Abbott, announces on a radio show that he plans to resurrect a Supreme Court case that would prevent immigrant children to attend public schools. John Iadarola and Viviana Vigil break it down on The Damage Report. Read more here: Abbott says Texas could 'resurrect' SCOTUS case requiring states to educate all kids - https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2022/05/04/gov-greg-abbott-supreme-court-case-requiring-education-undocumented-children/9652463002/?utm_source=SND&utm_medium=Twitter&utm_campaign=statesman "Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday that Texas would consider challenging a 1982 U.S. Supreme Court decision requiring states to offer free public education to all children, including those of undocumented immigrants. "Texas already long ago sued the federal government about having to incur the costs of the education program, in a case called Plyler versus Doe," Abbott said, speaking during an appearance on the Joe Pags show, a conservative radio talk show. "And the Supreme Court ruled against us on the issue. ... I think we will resurrect that case and challenge this issue again, because the expenses are extraordinary and the times are different than when Plyler versus Doe was issued many decades ago."" ** Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksMay 5

Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s antics are coming back to bite him again as Mexico has decided to move a trade railway crossing to New Mexico over Abbott’s political stunt in holding up commercial trucks at the border for secondary inspections. In addition to the estimated $4.2 billion lost from the trucker inspections, the state will now lose billions upon billions of dollars in commercial trade by missing out on this railway crossing.May 2

Far-right Ohio congressional candidate JD Vance fear-mongered about illegal immigration by claiming that President Biden intentionally wants to “kill a bunch of MAGA voters” by opening up the southern border, leading to an uptick in deaths from fentanyl overdoses. Not only does the Biden administration not support an ‘open border’ policy, but the administration has also done much more significant work in stopping fentanyl traffickers at the border than the Trump administration.May 2

The Fox & Friends show gave some surprising pushback on Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s migrant bus plan, where he would send volunteering migrants on a bus ride to Washington DC in hopes of drawing lawmakers’ attention to the ‘immigration crisis’ along the Southern Border. However, host Rachel Campos-Duffey doesn’t think they measure goes far enough in having a real impact, instead suggesting that Abbott send the illegal immigrants to wealthy neighborhoods across the country, especially where Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama live.

Texas gov. Greg Abbott has wreaked havoc on the American supply chain by doubling down on inspections at the Mexican border. He has since stopped his blockade after major backlash from his own state and costing the American economy greatly. John Iadarola and Francesca Fiorentini break it down on The Damage Report. Read more here: Texas forced to reverse Mexican truck inspection plan as drivers block bridges - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/apr/16/greg-abbott-texas-mexico-truck-inspection-policy "Texas governor Greg Abbott has made an about-face on his policy of tighter inspections of trucks entering Texas from Mexico, a week after he implemented the policy which led to Mexican truckers blockading border bridges in protest and holding up food supplies to the US as a result. He reversed course on Friday night after a week of intensifying backlash and fears of deepening economic losses."

A Tiktoker from Texas goes viral for attacking republican Gov. Greg Abbott for creating serious supply chain and trade issues at the Mexican border on purpose.

Greg Abbott of blocking border trade on purpose - https://www.dailydot.com/debug/greg-abbott-mexican-border-truckers-laredo-tiktok/ "A TikToker has gone viral by accusing Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) of intentionally blocking trade at the Mexican border. He believes it’s part of a Republican plot to hurt Democrats in the midterm elections by increasing inflation. Last week, Abbott enacted a policy requiring the state to inspect trucks crossing into the United States. Federal officials already inspect trucks that cross the border. The second round of state inspections has significantly increased trucks’ wait times to get into the U.S. Many carry perishables, such as fruits and vegetables." ** Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksApril 14

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has announced that he will be chartering mega-buses to transport asylum-seeking migrants to Washington DC while they await asylum processing. While Abbott thinks this program will make a statement in Washington, using tax payer money to properly and legally process asylum seekers doesn’t seem like a horrible idea.April 7

Republican congressman Dan Crenshaw fully supports Texas Governor Greg Abbott sending bus loads of asylum-seeking migrants to Washington DC and even wants them to be sent directly to Kamala Harris’ house. Crenshaw thinks this is a slight at Harris and Democrats’ so-called ‘open border policy’ but has failed to realize that Harris is staunchly against illegal and unlimited immigration.April 7

Why it matters: The administration's plans to end the Trump-era COVID-19 immigration ban by May 23 were immediately met with scathing criticism from lawmakers in both parties. They fear the announcement will trigger a mass migration event. Vulnerable Democrats also worry it will create a political firestorm, and provide Republicans with fresh ammunition just months before the midterms." ** Become a TDR YouTube Member: http://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport/join Follow The Damage Report on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheDamageReportTYT/ Help build the Home of the Progressives http://tyt.com/JOIN Subscribe to The Damage Report YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/thedamagereport?sub_confirmation=1 Follow The Damage Report on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thedamagereport?lang=en Follow The Damage Report on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/thedamagereport/ Follow The Damage Report on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheDamageReport #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurksApril 7

Senate Republicans are threatening to tank a $10 billion pandemic relief bill unless a vote is allowed to preserve Title 42, a Trump-era anti-immigration policy that the Biden administration is trying to end. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell made the threats clear, saying that Republicans will need to make a deal with the Democrats about amendments to Title 42 in order to even consider voting on the coronavirus spending bill.April 6
