SUMMARY: The immigration policies of the Trump administration have dramatically changed life for young undocumented Mexicans who came to the U.S. as children. Under DACA, which President Obama implemented in 2012, they were protected from deportation. Now, many have been forced out of the U.S. or left out of fear of deportation, finding they belong in neither country.NPR’s Lulu Garcia-Navarro reports.
In actually, the so-called infrastructure spending is actually a privatizing plan (aka big profit to private industry).
Excerpt
SUMMARY: President Trump unveiled his long-awaited infrastructure plan to fix roads, bridges, and airports on Monday; as well as his $4.4 trillion outline of spending priorities. But the plan was overshadowed by internal struggles at the White House, and questions of how top staff handled domestic violence allegations against two aides. Yamiche Alcindor joins Judy Woodruff for more.
SUMMARY:President Trump's $1 trillion infrastructure blueprint relies on states and local governments, as well as private sector investment, to provide much of the needed funding. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti says that his city is doing its part already, and that the federal government needs to step up. Garcetti joins Judy Woodruff to discuss that, as well as protecting “Dreamers.”
I am Retired U.S. Navy (22yrs) and a Vietnam Veteran. After my Navy retirement I was in the computer related industry, now retired. In 2000 I was a registered Republican and voted for George W. Bush. Six months of having Bush in the Whitehouse forced me to re-evaluate my political stance. I had always thought of myself as a Moderate Republican, but was a Republican by "default" NOT because of close examination of the GOP. Due to what has happened in America since 2000, I now consider myself a progressive, and registered as a Non-Affiliated voter.
