White House Rips Act Requiring Proof of Citizenship for Voter Registration

July 1008:30 AM
 

President Joe Biden released a statement strongly opposing a measure that would require voters to provide proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. H.R. 8281, introduced by Republican U.S. Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21), would require state election officials to inquire about proof of citizenship prior to administering voter registration forms. An individual would then have to show proof of U.S. citizenship in order to vote in federal elections. The measure, also known as the “Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility Act,” empowers state officials to accept a wide variety of documents with the aim of making it easier for citizens to register to vote. However, the Biden administration is poised to strike down the legislation if passed by Congress. view article  arw

Report: Biden Administration Sent Illegal Alien Children to Unsafe Environments

July 1008:30 AM
 

A new report shows that unaccompanied illegal alien children were being sent to live in unsafe environments under the Biden administration. A report from The Wall Street Journal revealed documents and interviews showing the federal government was repeatedly ignoring and overriding the concerns of lower-level workers who warned them about placing children in households with criminal records. At one holding facility near Los Angeles, California, more than 100 children were sent to live with temporary guardians previously issued denials by case coordinators. Nearly two dozen more denials were overturned by clerical errors or issues including missing fingerprints that were later resolved. However, many others were approved, with some of the home addresses tied to people with histories of criminal activity. Despite this knowledge, it cannot be determined what happened to the children after they left the facility. view article  arw

Judson ISD found a way to increase pay. It involves a recent storm.

July 0908:20 AM
 

School districts across San Antonio have had little success after a year of brainstorming ways to reduce record budget shortfalls that threaten academic programs and teacher recruitment, but Judson Independent School District officials might have cracked the code. After enduring criticism for reluctantly deciding the district couldn’t afford pay raises in the coming school year, the Judson ISD board reversed itself last week, seizing on an unfamiliar maneuver that will modify the district’s property tax rate to raise an additional $12 million for its general fund. Trustees on June 25 approved adding “disaster pennies” to the district’s tax rate, taking advantage of an obscure provision of state law and hanging it on a vague claim of flood expenses. view article  arw
