As a border state‚ Texas takes the brunt of the illegal immigration crisis we’re experiencing in our country. The Biden administration‚ or‚ in the words of Sara Gonzales‚ the Biden “regime‚” has disregarded immigration laws and welcomed millions of illegal aliens into the nation at the expense of the American people. Back in December‚ Biden threatened to sue Texas if it implemented an immigration law called SB4 that would allow state and local law enforcement to arrest and prosecute those entering the country illegally. Texas didn’t comply‚ choosing to exercise its Constitutional right to self-defense‚ and now‚ Biden is moving forward with the lawsuit. On Monday‚ the Supreme Court ruled that federal border agents be permitted to cut and remove razor wire Texas had set up to prevent illegal crossings. The fact that the Biden administration “has the audacity to sue in this matter really should tell you what they think of you ... how they prioritize you and your safety as an American citizen‚” says Sara. In response to Biden’s unabashed breach of constitutional law‚ Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a statement declaring‚ “Texas’s constitutional authority to defend and protect itself‚” which “is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes.” According to Jason Buttrill‚ Abbott’s letter is so compelling‚ “it should be framed right next to [Lt. Colonel William Barret Travis’ letter]” in which he vowed to fight for Texas’ sovereignty until “victory or death.” Abbott’s statement “could be copied to every other red state ... that's sick of the bullcrap‚ that's sick of crime going unpunished‚” Jason tells Sara‚ adding that they’re going to come after other rights as well‚ including those outlined in the First and Second Amendments. “This is the way through ... to say that the states are sovereign. There is a federal law of the land‚ but if you will not enforce it‚ you give us no choice; we will go our own way [and] screw you if we have to.” Sara is encouraged by Abbott’s response as well‚ considering thus far he’s been “weak in action at the border.” “It’s time to fight fire with fire‚” she says‚ and we “have the constitutional authority to do so.” Want more from 'The News &; Why It Matters?'To enjoy more rundowns of the top stories of the day‚ subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America‚ defend the Constitution‚ and live the American dream.

The same day the United Auto Workers union officially endorsed President Joe Biden for re-election‚ the union president admitted that a "great majority" would not be voting for Biden in the 2024 presidential election.During his endorsement of Biden‚ UAW President Shawn Fain said that the autoworkers faced a choice between supporting "someone who stands up with us and supports our cause" in President Biden or "someone who will divide us and fight us every step of the way" in President Trump."If our endorsements have to be earned‚ Joe Biden has earned it‚" he added‚ according to the BBC.However‚ the union leader also told Fox News that same day that a "majority" of members would not vote for Biden. Speaking to host Neil Cavuto on Fox Business‚ Fain reiterated his belief that Biden is a better representation of his union."President Biden stood there with us on the picket line‚ unlike President Trump in 2019 when GM was on strike for 40 days and he was completely nonexistent. He was silent on the issue‚" Fain told the host."It's very clear to us who stands with working-class people in this country and who stands against them‚" he added. .@UAW President Shawn Fain on endorsing Biden for re-election in 2024 — (@) However‚ after Cavuto pointed out that Republican Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush had benefited from the union vote in the past‚ the UAW president seemed to admit that he didn't think a majority of his union members would vote to re-elect Biden."Many of your own members now‚ Shawn‚ are very big Trump supporters. ... A good many of them are at Trump rallies and are MAGA enthusiasts; how do you feel about that?" Cavuto asked."It's democracy in action. Look‚ let me be clear about this‚ a great majority of our members will not vote for President Biden; yes‚ some will. But that's the reality of this‚" Fain stated."The majority of our members are going to vote their paychecks‚ they're going to vote for an economy that works for them‚ and they're going to vote for a president — when you look at these two presidents‚ the choice is very clear about which one stands up with the working class and stands up for labor and which one stands for the billionaire class‚ and that's his base." UAW Union Boss and Joe Biden lackey Shawn Fain admits that the vast majority of his rank-and-file membership will be voting Trump:\n\n"A great majority of our members will not vote for President Biden...the majority of our members are going to vote their paychecks." — (@) Fain declined to agree with the host that electric vehicles were being pushed by manufacturers despite the automobiles not hitting projected sales numbers. He also stated that the UAW are strong environmentalists.This‚ despite auto giant Ford recently cutting production of its electric F-150 Lightning trucks in half.In 2023‚ Fain helped the UAW secure a 25% general wage increase and a 150% increase for temporary workers over the life of their new contract. Additionally‚ the automaker's starting wage increased by about 68% and its top wage by roughly 33% through the new agreement.Like Blaze News?

A major donor for Cornell University‚ a private Ivy League college in Ithaca‚ New York‚ stated Tuesday that he will no longer fund the university‚ citing its push for "DEI groupthink policies and racialization."Jon A. Lindseth‚ a Cornell alumni‚ donor‚ and former trustee‚ sent an open letter to the school's chairman‚ Kraig Kayser‚ and the Board of Trustees urging the university to put an end to its diversity‚ equity‚ and inclusion initiatives. He called on Cornell to "abandon its misguided commitment to DEI because it has yielded not excellence but disgrace."According to Lindseth‚ DEI policies have "infiltrated every part of the university" and "every field of study‚" creating a "toxic academic environment." He stated that the result of adopting these radical initiatives is "a moral decay" and "rot" that "dishonors basic principles of justice and free speech."Lindseth‚ one of the university's largest donors for decades‚ sounded the alarm regarding the university's new "bias reporting system‚" which he claimed "fosters a hostile Orwellian environment among neighbors‚ classmates‚ and colleagues reporting on one another." He called out the university for prioritizing "equal outcomes" over "proven merit‚" noting it would be "disastrous for a research university." Lindseth requested that the school's president‚ Martha E. Pollack‚ be replaced. He slammed her "shameful" response to the recent terrorist attacks on Israel‚ noting that she was "swift and strong" with her response to George Floyd's death in 2020."President Pollack is responsible for adding a grave insult to injury. Not only has she given the DEI social engineering experiment equal priority with open inquiry‚ free expression‚ and academic freedom‚ Cornell removed the treasured and historical bust of Abraham Lincoln along with a copy of the Gettysburg Address from the Cornell University Library. Apparently a student found this most highly revered U.S. President to be offensive and requested its removal‚ which the University obliged. (I am told it has now been returned.) So even Lincoln could be canceled under the present administration. This is an absolute disgrace‚" Lindseth wrote.He claimed that "antisemitism and general intolerance have increased on campus" under Pollack's leadership. Lindseth has requested that Pollack's resignation be added to the January 26 emergency board meeting."With my writing of this letter‚ an increasing number of Cornell alumni are refusing to continue donating to their alma mater. Unfortunately‚ President Pollack and her administration have refused to engage with concerned alumni and their sound policy recommendations to correct Cornell's course‚" he remarked.On Wednesday‚ Chairman Kayser reaffirmed his support of Pollack's leadership."For nearly seven years‚ I have strongly supported President Pollack‚ and that support remains strong today‚" he stated. "The board is working effectively with the administration to respond to various challenges facing higher education and opportunities to advance the university's mission."Like Blaze News?
