for children. this act is about the children. it is completely merit-based. if you work hard, follow the law and pay your taxes, you can stay here permanently. it ensures fairness, no skipping in line. we think it s important that any person coming to this country going through the process that we implement a policy that would allow that line to be skipped but provide certainty and prevents chain migration for future illegal immigration. here s a brief statement on the eligibility requirement. the bill would cover most of the children available under the daca program. the be somebody who came to this country under 16 and it changes the daca administration, that s the baseline we have used, in 2012. and then it continued under the trump administration. there will be requirements, anyone applying for protected status would have to undergo a criminal background check, that includes consultation so we can check the criminal past of the person applying, they have to path existing
the state of play in south carolina. all this as michael bloomberg rises and new reporting focuses on his long public history, from stop and frisk to accusations of sexism. but first the story goes like this. president s long-time friend gets convicted of crimes and prosecutors recommend a sentence. justice department overrules its own prosecutors and reduces sentence. now more than 1100 federal prosecutors and justice department officials, along with nine democratic senators are calling on attorney general william barr to resign after he intervened in the roger stone case. and while barr claims the president s comments had no impact on his decision, he did convene the way things unfolded was problematic. the question is now what do i do? and do you go forward with what you think is the right decision or pull back because of the tweet? and that illustrates how disruptive these tweets can be. after that interview aired we waited and waited for tweets from the president p
san bernardino on so-called k-1 fiance visa, had stuff on social media saying coming here for jihad purposes and nobody paid attention. 14 people dead at holiday party at a christmas party at the office. which is horrible and i don t think especially anyone who knows you, you don t have ill intention, up to anything negative but there are consequences to the rhetoric. george w. bush went to a mosque to calm this down. i ve never seen trump do that. people are suffering and someone here, arish, singh, whoe is a sikh, not a muslim but ejected from rally. i m a sikh and don t claim to speak for others but it s part of the sikh faith to stand up against injus uft that others were facing. trump s claim that thousands of new jersey muslims were cheering on the 9/11 attacks. complete fabrication. he broadcast to thousands, to millions who were watching on tv. on live stream. to do that about jersey city, new jersey, a community that is home to a large arab population and south a
