The Canadian government is committing an additional $902 million over the next five years in an attempt to stem the flow of asylum-seekers from nations like Nigeria and Central American countries who are swarming its border from the U.S.

According to Reuters, 57,000 "irregular migrants" poured into Canada last year, overwhelming the country's court system and burdening its welfare programs. Finance Minister Bill Morneau said the purpose of the enhanced border enforcement was "to detect and intercept individuals who cross Canadian borders irregularly and who try to exploit Canada's immigration system."

The new initiative is being driven, at least in part, by voters frustrated that elected officials haven't done more to deter migrants from planting roots in the country, Reuters reported.

Connie Pennington says CWA violated her constitutional rights by continuing to seize dues from her paycheck, even though she broke with the union and revoked her dues deduction authorization after the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Janus v. American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).

According to the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation, which represents Pennington, CWA claims workers cannot relinquish membership in the union until its contract with the city ends in 2020. The union then claims an “escape period” policy that states, even after the expiration of the local’s contract, workers have only a designated 30-day period in which to inform the union of their desire to revoke their membership.

CWA refused to accept Pennington’s revocation of membership and then continued to deduct dues from her paycheck after Foundation attorney William Messenger, who argued the Janus case at the Supreme Court, sent a letter to union officials stating their policy was preventing her from exercising her First Amendment rights.

The lawsuit seeks to overturn the union’s policy and allow its 1,400 government workers to end their membership immediately.

Christopher Hitchens said “I would say without any hesitation that [Brock] is incapable of recognizing the truth, let alone of telling it”

Howard Kurtz, ‘the problem with Brock’s credibility’ is that ‘once you admit you’ve knowingly written false things, how do you know when to believe what he writes?’”

Brock’s behavior at a Democracy Alliance event in San Diego in 2008 alarmed many observers who believed that he was suffering from mania and potentially had mental health issues.
