When the Fort Bend Independent School District announced that it had found the remains of 95 people on the construction site for its new James Reese Career and Technical Center in Sugar Land on July 16, the discovery made national and international news.

 

But the remains, thought to be part of an unmarked cemetery for black convict laborers who worked on sugar plantations there in the late nineteenth century—chains were also discovered in the cemetery—were no surprise to Reginald Moore.

 

The local activist has lobbied the city of Sugar Land for decades to recognize the black slaves and convict laborers who worked the sugar plantations that gave the town its name.

Spain is getting overwhelmed by immigrants, again.

 

Most in Spain welcomed the decision of Pedro Sanchez, the new Socialist prime minister, to grant safe harbour to the NGO rescue ship the Aquarius and its 630 migrants, after it was turned away by Italy in June.

 

But there is increasing concern that Spain simply cannot cope with the numbers of arrivals. NGOs say the country’s asylum system is collapsed, with thousands already waiting for spaces, and that more resources are desperately needed. In Andalusia, where the Spanish coastguard has rescued more than 1200 people from rafts since Monday, authorities are raising the alarm over the pressure on infrastructure, with migrants sleeping in converted sports halls, on boats and even on a police station patio.

 

Experts say the Spanish surge is partly the result of the crackdown on crossings from Libya to Italy, both by the EU and the new populist government in Rome.

 

Matteo Salvini, Italy’s new far Right interior minister, on Thursday protested to the leading Roman Catholic weekly Famiglia Cristiana after it compared him to Satan on its cover, and said his decision to ban migrant rescue boats from the country’s ports was against “the Gospel”.

feel free to pound sand, says Grassley to Schumer

 

Finally, I am skeptical that your request for Staff Secretary documents is made in good faith. After all, you stated that you will oppose Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation “with everything [you’ve] got.” Just yesterday, another Democratic senator made the galling comment that supporters of Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination are “complicit” in “evil.” If most Democrats have already made up their minds about Judge Kavanaugh, given the considerable record already available for review, I fail to see how additional documents will be useful. On top of this, you have refused to meet with Judge Kavanaugh. This refusal is highly irregular. In light of the outright opposition to Judge Kavanaugh from Democratic leadership and many members of your caucus, it is clear to me that your demand for millions of additional pages of comparatively irrelevant documents is an attempt to obstruct the confirmation process. …

 

I’m not going to put American taxpayers on the hook for the Democrats’ fishing expedition, especially when many on your side have already said that they will oppose Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
