Firstly, guys, title 42, uh, 15 states have, um, gotten together, so to speak,
and they asked a federal judge on Monday night to keep Title 42 in place, which would allow
authorities to restrict as to restrict asylum seekers from crossing the border into the country.
Guys, you remember last week I spoke a little bit about Title 42, and I mentioned that a judge, a
federal judge, issued a ruling to block it. And so these, uh, 15 states have come together and said
we really need the help. We, uh, we're overwhelmed by the flow of migrants in our states. And so, uh,
we need the court to step in once again and, um, and enforce Title 42. Secondly, guys,
dreamers, what is going on on Capitol Hill? Well, firstly, you know, you may have heard,
um, the, or seen the speech from Senator Schumer last week, in which he was talking
about the need for the Senate to act on the Dream Act, which would allow dreamers and
DACA holders to transition into permanent residency or to get a green card here.
And during his speech, he passionately said that he also wants the 11 million or more to
also obtain a lawful status through an amnesty program. And since he's made those statements,
um, you know, people have been, some people are hopeful that maybe something can happen. But guys,
I do wanna remind you that, um, in order for immigration reform to happen at this point,
Senate Republicans, certain number, a certain number of Senate Republicans will need to weigh
in and support it as well in addition to all Democrats, um, on the Senate side in
which some Democrats are not supporting Comprehensive immigration reform. On the house
side, there are some moderate Democrats who are likewise not supporting comprehensive immigration
reform. But now with respect to dreamers, um, dreamers are calling for immigration reform and
before, specifically during this lame duck season, before, um, the House Republicans
take control of the house in January. And so we're watching to see what's gonna happen,
if anything, during this lame duck season. Uh, we only have a few more legislative days left,
not a whole lot of days left. So, um, we'll see whether they do something with respect
to DACA and Dreamers. The other thing to keep in mind too, guys, is that the house had passed the
Dream Act last year, and it's been sitting on the Senate side ever since with no action. And
the Senate Republicans are also digging in and saying, we're not even gonna move forward with,
uh, with the Dream Act if there's nothing that will also be done for the borders.
So that's the big issue right now on Capitol Hill. Now guys, this is an interesting story that we
came across today that the Justice Department published involving a man in Florida who ran a
staffing support agency, or these different LLCs that placed individuals immigrants in hotels,
bars, and restaurants in Key West, while now he faces up to 10 years in prison because,
um, for conspiring to harbor Aliens and induce them to remain in the United States. What
exactly was he doing? Well, first of all, he was employing all of these workers and he paid them
without withholding Social security, Medicare, and income taxes from their wages. And then he did not
report those wages to the irs. And so he, he and his co-conspirators attempted to defraud the IRS
out of 8 million. And that is the big issue, big problem here. And now he faces up to 10 years in
prison. Guys, be careful about these staff and agencies who you're working for. Sometimes they
could be in operation for many years and nothing happened. And that's because for some of these
organizations, the government is just watching behind the scenes and collecting evidence until
the right time, like in this guy's case. So be careful. And then lastly, guys, um, more
migrants are being bused out of Texas by Governor Abbott, and now they're going into Philadelphia.
Uh, immigration advocates said that a bus with an estimated 48 Spanish speaking
passengers were sent to Philadelphia By Governor Abbot, and they were left, um, in
freezing temperatures. But some community leaders, immigrant leaders and other officials were there
to, uh, greet them and welcome them. Shortly after the bus arrived, Abbott tweeted that Texas has
bused over 13,500 migrants to sanctuary cities and ticked, ticked off the numbers, including 8,400 to
Washington DC 3,800 to New York City, 1200 to Chicago, and 100 to Philadelphia so far. Guys,
comment below and let me know what you think about what Abbott is doing, um, with respect
to busing the migrants out of Texas into, uh, other, into large cities around the country.
Thanks so much for being with me in this one. Be sure to share this with others. And guys,
I will see you after Thanksgiving. I will see you in the next one. Bye-bye.
