El Salvador President Bukele’s Wildly Popular Gang Crackdown is Reducing Illegal Immigration to US

The Wall Street Journal reported that El Salvador President Nayib Bukele’s successful crackdown on MS-13 gang members has led to a dramatic 44% reduction in the number of Salvadorans illegally crossing the southern border into the US. El Salvador, was once known for having the world’s highest murder rate, now has the world’s highest incarceration rate, 68,000 prisoners, which is about 1% of their population. The strategy has helped lower homicides by 92% compared with 2015, giving Bukele the support of nine of every 10 Salvadorans. Ecuador, Guatemala and Colombia are considering copying Bukele’s policies.

The success of Bukele’s heavy-handed crackdown has made fools of our ruling elites who insist restorative justice and throwing open our nation’s prisons is how you create peace.

Evanston, Illinois Will Pay 140 Elderly Black People $25,000 for Reparations in a “Test Run” for the Whole Country

Illinois: In 2019, the city of Evanston, a suburb of Chicago with a population of 75,000 people, committed to paying $10 million over the next 10 years in local reparations. Evanston is expected to pay 140 mostly elderly black residents $25,000 each in reparations by the end of the year in what it is calling a ‘test run for the whole country.’ The program will benefit black residents if they, or their ancestors, lived in the city between 1919 and 1969 or if they can show they suffered housing discrimination due to the city’s policies. The payments, which come in either vouchers or cash, will be funded by marijuana and real-estate transfer taxes that will affect prices in the real estate market. Supporters say that the program is expected to lead the country. Federal reparations efforts have stalled for decades, but cities, counties, school districts and universities have taken up the cause.

Last month, a task force in California recommended spending billions on reparations as proposals for the rest of the country sit idle. A University of California, Los Angeles study found that roughly two-thirds of Californians are in favor of some form of reparations, though residents are divided on what they should be. California was not a slave state.

California Assembly Blocks Legislation That Would Have Made Child Trafficking Punishable By Life in Prison

The California Assembly Committee on Public Safety has squashed a bill that would have increased the charges for human trafficking, despite it passing through the state’s Senate with bipartisan support. Human trafficking is currently considered a non-serious crime and cannot be considered a strike under California’s three-strikes law. Kidnapping victim Elizabeth Smart supported the bill and said “This bill should be passed into law without hesitation. Too many victims fear coming forward and speaking out for fear of their traffickers repercussions.”

With you

It's sad that after all of the lying and deception we have to be careful about assuming someone is a good person/leader when they do a great thing.

Always deceiving.
