                  Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he plans to call for a ban on school districts employing anyone with an H-1B visa. This sweeping ban could harm students and schools, while doing little to address legitimate concerns about the visa program that allows companies to hire foreign workers for specialized jobs.

                      LETTER: President Trump is right: Protect the integrity of our elections

                      President Trump was right when he recently sounded the alarm about serious holes in the integrity of our elections. In New Jersey, it was found that over 6,000 non-citizens we're on that state's voter rolls, despite being ineligible. Almost 400 cast ballots! Yet the "experts" constantly tell us that these people can't vote. While not all immigrants are in the country illegally, all who are are non-citizens. Any on that voter roll should be deported.

If they didn’t like it, Lenin said: “We'll ask the man, where do you stand on the question of the revolution? Are you for it or against it? If he's against it, we'll stand him up against a wall.” While Democratic Socialists of America have not yet gotten to the wall treatment, here’s their evolving platform:
