As Denver faces a budget crisis due to 40‚000 illegal immigrants arriving in the last year‚ the city is using its resources to get the migrant population employed‚ warning hourly workers that they may lose hours to illegal immigrants and using the public school system to help the illegals get work permits‚ according to emails obtained by The Daily Wire. Denver’s 9 News reported on Monday that the City of Denver warned its workforce of job cuts‚ reporting that while the city “says it is NOT laying off employees to pay for the migrant crisis‚” it “IS telling hourly employees they may have their hours reduced to zero.” Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO) told the outlet that because companies are generally barred from hiring illegal immigrants‚ the city may simply start hiring illegal immigrants itself — even though that is also illegal. “If the federal government wants to come down and throw the book at us‚ we’ll deal with the legal costs‚” Hickenlooper said. Emails obtained under public records laws show that the city is also using its schools in the effort to get illegals employed. Denver Public Schools (DPS)worked with the city to help illegal immigrants get work permits‚ giving visas to foreigners to work for the school system so that schools have “adults who are reflective of our students.” On October 19‚ 2023‚ Deborah Staten‚ deputy chief of staff for the superintendent‚ wrote to school board president Carrie Olson that the district’s hiring department was hosting “ELA-S Hiring Fairs and Visa-sponsored employee welcome events.” DPS’s hiring department hosted a “Community Hub” where it discussed “visa sponsorship eligibility” with job applicants‚ and a “Visa Sponsorship Welcome Night… for all of our DPS visa-sponsored employees.” On Facebook‚ DPS said it had “over 200 teachers working with us on Visa Sponsorship and we are welcoming another 58 more in this school year. Representation matters and adults who are reflective of our students is essential!” In addition to giving visas to foreign nationals to allow them to live in the country and work at the schools‚ the school district was also working with the city‚ the state of Colorado‚ and the federal government to help illegal immigrants settle in the United States for the long term‚ according to an email from Evan Dreyer‚ deputy chief of staff to Denver mayor Mike Johnston. On November 6‚ 2023‚ Dreyer proposed using DPS buildings for “legal clinics in November and December to help new arrivals apply for Temporary Protected Status and Employment Authorization Documents.” Temporary Protected Status is supposed to be given to people fleeing from countries that have “ongoing armed conflict” or other “extraordinary” conditions that make it impossible for illegal immigrants to return there. Yet the Department of Homeland Security has extended it to 16 countries‚ including El Salvador‚ Honduras‚ and Nicaragua. Recipients can get Employment Authorization Documents. Senator Hickenlooper told me today cities may have to hire migrants to work due to a lack of federal work authorization "If the federal government doesn’t act‚ local communities are going to have to‚" he said Federal govt has signaled it could sue any city that does this pic.twitter.com/hz9oxZygii — Marc Sallinger (@MarcSallinger) February 15‚ 2024 The emails‚ obtained by the parents’ group Parents Defending Education and shared first with The Daily Wire‚ shed light on the chaos and shifting loyalties in Denver Public Schools that have resulted from what a DPS official called an “incredible influx of New to Country Students.” In 2021‚ DPS purchased a property that was intended to expand the Denver School of Arts‚ a magnet school that turns away 500 students a year because of space. The emails show the school system is now working with the mayor’s office to use the property as a “possible migrant shelter.” The school system also wants to cancel standardized testing‚ giving up on tracking whether students are learning because poor scores by illegal immigrants would be bad optics for the school district. On January 10‚ Grant Guyer‚ DPS Associate Chief of Strategic Operations‚ wrote that he had “been tasked to explore regulatory and legislative solutions around getting a temporary pause state testing implications for DPS schools that have experienced a large increase of Migrant students.” That could be disastrous in ensuring that American students are recovering from COVID-era school closures. Americans have fled the city’s failing schools in recent years‚ with declining enrollment threatening to bring lower budgets for schools. The school system initially wanted illegal immigrants because they would mask the fact that Coloradans were fleeing from the schools‚ and allow them to request the same budget. Instead of closing schools‚ the district was “opening new elementary Newcomer Center at Montclair to support overflow” and considering two other “newcomer” centers‚ according to the emails. But illegal immigrants don’t pay taxes‚ and the state was not able to cover the difference‚ leading to a nearly $20 million shortfall‚ education publication The Lion reported. DPS and the mayor’s office did not respond to requests for information from The Daily Wire. The school system refused to turn over 101 documents about migrants‚ including discussions involving how it is causing overcrowded classrooms‚ under the public records request. Denver’s flirtation with illegally hiring illegal immigrants comes as the Biden administration’s Department of Homeland Security warned the University of California of consequences if it engaged in a similar plan. Rep. Daryll Issa (R-CA) said the university system’s idea was disastrous‚ saying making it easier for illegal immigrants to work in the United States would serve as an incentive for more illegal immigration. The university system seems less likely to pursue the scheme after it commissioned three legal opinions that all indicated that‚ contrary to a novel theory pushed by some professors‚ states are beholden to the same law that prevents private employers from hiring illegals.

The game show “Jeopardy!‚” in which gives contestants must give answers in the form of a question‚ embraced the woke agenda by including so-called “neo-pronouns” as an answer. The $600 selection in the category titled “Parts of Speech” offered the words “Xem‚ Xyrs‚ Xemself.” The incumbent champion offered the question‚ “What are pronouns.” Host Ken Jennings stated‚ “Those are pronouns. Neo-pronouns.” Jeopardy asked about xem/xyrs/xemself "pronouns" during last night's show How would you answer this? pic.twitter.com/dAjSLu3lRz — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) February 27‚ 2024 In September 2022‚ Jennings was slammed by critics after they felt he favored a male competitor over a female one. Incumbent champion Luigi de Guzman was competing against contestant and retired lawyer Harriet Wagner. When Guzman was asked to identify a “19th-century landscape by this British painter‚” he responded‚ “Constant.” Jennings prompted‚ “Say it again” and de Guzman immediately corrected himself. “I’m sorry. Constable. Who is Constable.” “Constable is correct‚ yes. That takes you to $6‚200‚” Jennings responded.

And I won! It’s a great feeling.” The “Jeopardy!: Tournament of Champions” began at the end of October 2022. It featured 21 contestants who won at least four games since the 2020 tournament along with winners of the National College Championship‚ the Professors Tournament‚ and the game show’s first Second Chance faceoff‚ Fox News reported. Larissa Kelly‚ the woman who held the record for the most Jeopardy wins‚ congratulated Schneider after Schneider passed that number‚ referring to Schneider as a woman. She tweeted‚ “Well‚ it was fun to hold a Jeopardy record for a few years … but it’s been even more fun to watch @Jeopardamy set new standards for excellence‚ on the show and off. Congratulations to Amy on becoming the woman with the highest overall earnings in the show’s history!” Schneider responded to critics by tweeting‚ “I’d like to thank all the people who have taken the time‚ during this busy holiday season‚ to reach out and explain to me that‚ actually‚ I’m a man. Every single one of you is the first person ever to make that very clever point‚ which had never once before crossed my mind.” Amanda Harding contributed to this article.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley said on Tuesday night that the Republican Party was a ship with a hole in it. Haley made the remarks during a CNN interview with Dana Bash as results from Michigan’s presidential primary were being broadcast live‚ which showed the former president beating Haley in the state by more than 30 points. “Look at what’s happened in Michigan‚” Haley said. “You look back in 2012‚ Michigan was such a bright spot. I was there. They had just passed right to work. They were winning seats up and down the ticket. It was just a great time for Michigan. But ever since Donald Trump became president‚ they’ve lost the governor’s mansion; they’ve lost the state House; they’ve lost the state Senate. The same thing has happened in Minnesota. I was in Colorado earlier today‚ they haven’t had a Republican get over 45% statewide since Donald Trump was president in 2016. It is a pattern we continue to see.” “You’re seeing the same thing whether you look at all the early states‚ Donald Trump didn’t get 40% of any of the Republican primary vote‚ it is a problem‚” Haley said‚ even though Trump has secured more than half the votes in every primary contest so far. “He’s not bringing people into the party‚ he’s pushing people out of the party‚” Haley continued. “Colorado today has 10% less Republicans than they had before when Donald Trump was president. And so this is just a pattern we continue to see.” “But more than that‚ look at what’s happened to the Republican Party. The Republican Party is now not just changing based on tone. It’s changing based on policy‚” she said. “Donald Trump’s not talking anything about shrinking government‚ stopping spending‚ cutting out the waste — none of that. And then he’s changed the whole idea of peace through strength. We used to always talk about the strength of our alliances. Now you’ve got Donald Trump basically saying he’s going to tell Putin to go and invade our allies who stood with us after 9/11. It’s all a shift.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP When pressed about why Republican voters were not choosing her‚ Haley said: “What I’m saying to my Republican Party family is‚ we’re in a ship with a hole in it and we can either go down with the ship and watch the country go socialist Left‚ or we can see that we need to take the life raft and move in a new direction.” “That’s what this is about. It is very telling when now the RNC is not about winning races up and down the ticket. The RNC is now about Donald Trump. They made that very clear. So now that’s become his legal slush fund‚” she stated. WATCH:

A Chinese national was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement after the bust of a massive marijuana operation in rural south Georgia last week.  Georgia law enforcement arrested four Chinese nationals over a marijuana grow in Pierce County estimated to be valued at $22.5 million. Pierce County Sheriff Ramsey Bennett said that three of the Chinese nationals suspected of operating the grow appeared to be in the United States legally while the other appeared to be here illegally.  On Tuesday‚ the bust was announced by the Georgia Department of Agriculture‚ which aided Pierce County law enforcement in the investigation. The authorities initially believed that the building where the marijuana was being grown was being used to illegally process food.  The sheriff’s department charged Zhu Sheng Bing‚ Jinpeng Ma‚ Chenhui Shu‚ and Wei Sheng Deng with felony possession of marijuana and felony marijuana manufacturing. They are also expected to be hit with trafficking charges and were all denied bond. Deng was the only one detained by ICE.  Police raided the facility after a four-week investigation and found over 11‚000 marijuana plants at all stages of growth. Bennett estimated that the plant had been operational since 2022 and said that people at the organization had ties to Staten Island and Houston. It was the largest marijuana bust in county history.  Video posted by the Agricultural Department showed officers walking through the building examining the grow operation.  According to Georgia Agricultural Commissioner Tyler Harper‚ the operation was very high-tech and could be part of a national crime syndicate.  “This was a very sophisticated operation‚” Harper said at a press conference about the bust. “Hundreds of thousands of dollars in infrastructure in the facility and‚ as the sheriff mentioned‚ ties back to New York and Houston‚ which is indicative of a national crime syndicate.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Harper said it was very much possible that the operation had “tentacles that spread out” from Pierce County. The investigation is still ongoing with federal law enforcement expected to get involved.  The bust comes as Chinese-backed illegal marijuana farms have been discovered in rural areas from Maine to Colorado to Tennessee. Earlier this year‚ top House Republicans asked for more information and updates on enforcement actions against illegal marijuana farms from the Department of Homeland Security and the Drug Enforcement Agency.  At the same time as illegal farms proliferate across the United States‚ there has been a surge of Chinese nationals illegally crossing the border. Over 20‚000 Chinese nationals have already been encountered at the border this fiscal year while only 450 were in 2021.

Privacy has been a cornerstone of the American ethos since the nation’s founding‚ with our country’s pioneers champing at the bit to establish a society where personal liberty is safeguarded. But as technology races forward at a blistering pace‚ those bedrock principles of privacy are under siege. The digital era has ushered in unprecedented capabilities for connectivity and convenience. We have devices that can respond to our voice commands‚ software that anticipates our needs‚ and platforms that connect us across continents. While the fruits of innovation are undoubtedly ripe with opportunity‚ they come with a thorny underbelly—a vulnerability in our privacy that is increasingly difficult to protect. When will America wake up and realize they are slaves! Stop the spying government! pic.twitter.com/KwC4cjcVkU — Alexander Oakes (@authoralexoakes) February 25‚ 2024 A growing chorus among privacy advocates is raising the alarm about the slow‚ insidious erosion of personal freedoms. They point out the myriad ways in which our data can be tracked‚ compiled‚ and analyzed. Have we consented to this trade-off? The collection and exploitation of personal data is often veiled in opacity‚ buried in byzantine terms of service‚ or completely shrouded from the public eye. BREAKING: IRS official Alex Mena who works in “Criminal Investigations” says @IRSNews‚ ‘has no problem going after the small people‚ putting people in prison‚ and destroying people’s lives.’ Mena ‘doubts the constitutionality’ of his employer‚ the IRS‚ using AI to access… pic.twitter.com/KexsoTlMbz — James O'Keefe (@JamesOKeefeIII) February 21‚ 2024 For conservatives‚ the issue of privacy is more than just personal—it’s fundamentally about limiting the power of the state and its reach into our lives. The Fourth Amendment guards against unreasonable searches and seizures‚ yet in the digital domain‚ these protections are nebulous at best. Intrusive surveillance tools can piece together our lives like a digital jigsaw puzzle‚ and the apparatus of state could have the means to wield an Orwellian oversight. Beyond governmental overreach‚ there is the menace of Big Tech‚ which seemingly holds dominion over much of our online presence. These corporate behemoths have developed sophisticated algorithms capable of manipulating our behavior‚ influencing our decisions‚ and shaping our worldviews. The individual’s autonomy stands at risk—a mere plaything at the mercy of adeptly coded systems that cater to the highest bidder. What‚ then‚ should be the clarion call for those valuing liberty and privacy? It is nothing short of a comprehensive reform to establish stringent guidelines for data collection‚ use‚ and protection. This is not simply a matter of consumer rights; it is a fundamental issue of civil liberties. Legislative measures must be introduced to curb the powers of both government and corporate entities in the digital playing field. In conclusion‚ as we stand at a crossroads‚ conservatives must champion the cause of privacy with unyielding fervor. The cries of privacy experts are not to be ignored or discounted; they are the canaries in the coal mine‚ signaling the possible erosion of what so many have fought to preserve. Channeling the wisdom and foresight of our constitutional framers‚ we must ensure that the advance of technology does not come at the cost of our most cherished freedoms.   The post Privacy Advocates Sound Alarm on Imminent Concerns Amid Technological Advancements appeared first on The Conservative Brief.
