Texas, facing wave after wave of illegal immigrants coming into this country, has had enough of the Biden administration's indifference, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said on Thursday.
The deadline was supposed to be October 1. Author: Chelsea Bard (NEWS CENTER Maine), NBC News Published: 12:24 PM EDT April 27, 2021 Updated: 12:24 PM EDT April 27, 2021
WASHINGTON, D.C., USA According to reports from NBC News, the Department of Homeland Security is delaying the requirement for air travelers to have a Real ID form of identification.
The deadline was supposed to be October 1.
Similar delays in the past have been the result of a lack of full state compliance with the requirements for issuing the more secure driver’s licenses. But this time, it’s due to the pandemic, these officials say, which made it harder for people to get into state motor vehicle departments and get the new IDs.
The King’s College in Manhattan Business Professor Brian Brenberg weighs in on policy under the Biden administration so far, the upcoming coronavirus stimulus package and school closures.
The Senate on Thursday approved an amendment to block illegal immigrants from receiving stimulus checks, as part of a marathon vote-a-rama with eight Democrats voting in favor of it.
The amendment, introduced by Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and Todd Young, R-Ind., would bar any direct stimulus payments being distributed to those in the country illegally. Economic Impact Payments were intended to provide a lifeline to Americans struggling to make ends meet during the coronavirus pandemic. They were not intended for people who are in our country illegally, Young said. Our amendment would ensure that people who break our immigration laws aren’t receiving taxpayer-funded handouts.

Congress asks Pentagon to restore military base construction funds from border wall
WASHINGTON Congress is asking the Department of Defense to return billions of dollars that former President Donald Trump diverted from local military base construction projects to fund the border wall and was never spent.
President Joe Biden canceled the national emergency declaration that Trump and the Defense Department had used to justify shifting $3.6 billion from scores of domestic and overseas military construction projects. Those included a new fire station at Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort in South Carolina and a new fire crash rescue station for Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida, which was badly damaged by Hurricane Michael in 2018.
