Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) told MSNBC this week that his party supports the Senate’s controversial border bill because it prioritizes the people that Democrats care the most about: illegal aliens. Murphy made the admission during an interview on the far-left network’s “All In With Chris Hayes” on Wednesday night while talking about the border bill that was unveiled this week in the Senate. Hayes asked Murphy about why the bill did not have a pathway to citizenship for millions of migrants who illegally came to the United States and suggested that Republicans were to blame. “Well‚ I mean‚ Chris‚ that’s been a failed play for 20 years. So you are right that that has been the Democratic strategy for 30 years‚ maybe‚ and it has failed to deliver for the people we care about most‚ the undocumented Americans that are in this country‚” Murphy said. “This is also not 2013 any longer. When we ran that play last back then‚ there were a couple hundred people showing up every day applying for asylum. Today‚ on some days‚ there are 8‚000. And the reality is‚ is that the bulk of this country does not think that that’s right or sustainable and wants us to change the reality at the border.” “So I know there’s a temptation for Democrats‚ and I know you weren’t looking for this argument‚ but I think there is a temptation to just run the same play we always run because we know how to run it‚” he continued. “But when it hasn’t worked and when the country is actually demanding that we do something to make the border more manageable‚ I do think we have a right and a responsibility to adjust to that reality. Now‚ this bill still had in it some really important things for migrant rights‚ including a right to representation and earlier work permits and the biggest expansion of visas in 30 years. It’s not a pathway to citizenship‚ but it is something substantial for people that actually care about migrants.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP WATCH: WATCH: Sen.

  As Brazil prepares to welcome a global audience for its iconic Rio carnival‚ the nation faces a public health crisis that threatens to overshadow the festivities. The surge in dengue fever cases has prompted authorities to declare a state of emergency‚ a move that underscores the severity of the situation. In the early months of 2024‚ Rio de Janeiro has registered a staggering number of dengue cases‚ surpassing 10‚000 and nearing half of the total cases reported in the entirety of the previous year. This alarming rise in infections has forced the city into a state of high alert just days before the carnival‚ an event that draws millions from around the world. Authorities in the #Brazilian cities of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo have declared public health emergencies over an outbreak of #denguefever. The number of reported cases worldwide has risen from 500‚000 to 5.2 million between 2000 and 2019.@juliasieger tells you more pic.twitter.com/1g9yqZRwkV — FRANCE 24 English (@France24_en) February 8‚ 2024 The Brazilian government’s response has been swift and multifaceted. In the capital‚ Brasilia‚ an emergency field hospital has been established to manage the influx of patients suffering from the disease. The air force has also been mobilized‚ setting up a 60-bed field hospital in the Federal District of Ceilandia to alleviate the burden on regional emergency care units. Despite these efforts‚ the healthcare system is under immense pressure. The health ministry has confirmed 31 deaths due to dengue‚ with another 234 fatalities under investigation for potential links to the disease. The situation is dire‚ and the government is exploring options to produce a dengue vaccine domestically to prevent future outbreaks. Dengue fever has surged in Brazil's hot rainy season‚ leading authorities to warn residents in Rio de Janeiro favelas to remain cautious against the disease‚ especially with the Carnival weekend approaching https://t.co/sMqzi6F0kG pic.twitter.com/2HxQSjQW4V — Reuters (@Reuters) February 8‚ 2024 Sao Paulo‚ Brazil’s largest city‚ has not been spared from the epidemic. An emergency operations center has been opened to coordinate the response to the increasing number of dengue cases. Additionally‚ innovative measures such as deploying drones equipped with larvicide to target mosquito breeding grounds in hard-to-reach areas are being tested. The government has announced plans to launch a public vaccination campaign against dengue‚ targeting children between the ages of 10 to 14. However‚ a shortage of vaccine doses from the Japanese pharmaceutical company Takeda has limited the scope of this initiative. This setback highlights the challenges faced by the country in securing adequate resources to combat the outbreak. The timing of the dengue fever surge could not be more unfortunate‚ coinciding with the Rio carnival‚ a celebration known for its vibrant parades and samba rhythms. The declaration of a state of emergency raises concerns about the potential impact on tourism and the economy‚ which heavily relies on the revenue generated by this world-famous event. As Brazil confronts this public health emergency‚ the resilience of its people and the strength of its institutions are being put to the test. The nation’s ability to navigate through this crisis while hosting a major international event will be a testament to its commitment to safeguarding public health and ensuring the safety of both its citizens and visitors.   The post Dengue Fever Crisis as State of Emergency Declared appeared first on The Conservative Brief.
