Trump Shifts Deportation Focus, Pausing Raids on Farms, Hotels and Eateries
Quick! Have Trump send in the Marines on this one too... Obviously Americans wanted these jobs but the railroad industry wouldn't give them!!! The Chinese Railroad Workers (1865 — 1869) From 1865-1869, 12,000 Chinese immigrants constructed the western section of the transcontinental railroad – one of the greatest engineering feats in American history. Their efforts, which connected the western United States to the eastern United States, laid the foundation for the extraordinary economic prosperity enjoyed by the United States in the years that followed. Many of these workers risked their lives and perished during the harsh winters and dangerous working conditions. They faced prejudice, low wages and social isolation. Despite these challenges, they courageously took a stand to organize for fairer wages and safer working conditions. Their efforts not only bridged our nation together, they advanced the cause of good, safe jobs for all workers, immigrant and native workers alike. [emphasis added] https://www.dol.gov/general/aboutdol/hallofhonor/2014_railroad "Chinese laborers made up roughly 80% of the workforce of the Central Pacific Railroad company, yet their contributions to the Transcontinental Railroad are often overlooked. They faced harsher work conditions and lower pay than their White counterparts. https://asianamericanedu.org/chinese-labor-strike.html Got news for the MAGA types here -- America was BUILT in many ways through the decades on the backs of hard work by immigrants, undocumented and otherwise.... To try to deny that is simply to ignore the history of the U.S. -

Fact-checking Trump and Miller’s claims of a ‘migrant invasion’ in California
This sounds great! Please outline the bill and what it would have done to close the border and facilitate top MIT graduates who finish their programs in nuclear physics are allowed to stay in the country. Here's the bill. All it seems to do provide funding to process them in faster. https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/senate-bill/4361 S.4361 - 118th Congress (2023-2024): Border Act of 2024 | Congress.gov | Library of Congress -

Fact-checking Trump and Miller’s claims of a ‘migrant invasion’ in California
What studies? Something you saw on AlterNet that was done by an NGO that gets rich facilitating illegal immigration? This is just false. It is not absolutely true; it is just a lie you are regurgitating. -

Boeing has staff issues
It's not only the culture, it's the tyrany of shareholders' returns. Boeing has been too focused on improving short-term results (and the value of stock options) at the expense of longer-term industrial concerns. Airbus has more stable and forward lookind shareholders (around 25% held by 3 governments). -
