• Immigration

According to a new report by the Center for Immigration Studies, the U.S. foreign-born population has hit an all-time high of 51.6 million people, or 15.6 percent of the population, eclipsing even the numbers from the early 20th century. If President Biden is re-elected and the numbers continue as they have, that number could increase by 50 percent by 2040.

The Mexican government has stopped three times as many migrants coming to the U.S. this year as they did last year. Early last year, Mexico interdicted roughly 100,000 migrants at its southern border or inside Mexico per month. This year, more migrants are being stopped inside Mexico than in the U.S., with over 280,000 being interdicted in Mexico and 189,000 in the U.S. in March. (NBC News)

Fox News’ Bill Melugin tweeted that through April, at least 434,800 migrants have flown directly into the US and have been paroled into the country via the Biden administration's controversial CHNV mass parole program. Including nearly 185,000 Haitians, 101,000 Venezuelans, 91,000 Cubans, and 75,000 Nicaraguans. These are not numbers you see when looking at data from the southern border.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw lashed out to the media after an illegal alien was arrested for sexually assaulting, beating, and strangling a pregnant teen - the third such attack by an illegal alien in the last few months. According to the police, he was ordered to be deported in 2017 but remained in Southern Florida. “They should have never been here to start with. So now you have people that have been victimized that shouldn't have been victimized at all,” said Sheriff Bradshaw. (CBS 12)

Rep. Jeff Van Drew’s (R-N.J.) bill aimed at deporting illegal immigrants out of the U.S. if they assault a police officer passed the House. Every Republican voted for the bill, as did 54 Democrats, but 148 House Democrats opposed the bill. Basically, every Democrat in swing districts voted for the bill. (Fox News)

• Education

Louisiana will be the first state in the nation to require the Ten Commandments at all schools that receive public funding, including colleges and universities. The efforts to require the Ten Commandments displays began after Supreme Court rulings in cases like Kennedy v. Bremerton School District indicated a looser interpretation of the Constitution's Establishment Clause. (Axios)

Axios wrote an utterly ridiculous article that racial segregation in public schools is on the rise, as nearly 20 percent of public schools have a student body that’s 90 percent non-white. It’s not racial segregation that’s caused this, but a decrease in the number of white children in the U.S.. This will only increase over time as the country becomes increasingly non-white. Access to white people in America isn’t a right, but if you wanted it to be, you’d need to reverse immigration and raise birthrates.

• Congress

Congress is set to debate The American Privacy Act of 2024, sponsored by Sen. Cantwell (D-Wash.) and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rogers (R-Wash.). One of the bill’s key provisions is mandating a “disparate impact" test to impose race, gender, and other quotas on practically every part of American life—housing, education, employment, healthcare, insurance, and credit. Disparate impact by any other name is racial quotas.

According to Stewart Baker:

APRA's quota provision, section 13 of APRA, says that any entity that "knowingly develops" an algorithm for its business must evaluate that algorithm "to reduce the risk of" harm. And it defines algorithmic "harm" to include causing a "disparate impact" on the basis of "race, color, religion, national origin, sex, or disability"

At bottom, it's as simple as that. If you use an algorithm for any important decision about people—to hire, promote, advertise, or otherwise allocate goods and services—you must ensure that you've reduced the risk of disparate impact.

The closer one looks, however, the worse it gets. At every turn, APRA expands the sweep of quotas. For example, APRA does not confine itself to hiring and promotion. It provides that, within two years of the bill's enactment, institutions must reduce any disparate impact the algorithm causes in access to housing, education, employment, healthcare, insurance, or credit.

This is deeply unconstitutional, according to the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Harvard case by the Supreme Court, but the fact that such an unpopular idea has bipartisan support is deeply disappointing.
