Florida's new anti-sanctuary bill is now being challenged in court by open borders groups.

They allege that because @FAIRImmigration, an SPLC "hate group", aided with the bill, it is invalid.

It is a wonder that anyone still takes the SPLC seriously.
cis.org/Cadman/South-M…
@FAIRImmigration In March, the SPLC's president and co-founder both stepped down amid decades-long allegations of racism and sexual harassment.

Their resignations came as the SPLC faced growing scrutiny for its dubious "hate group" designations and declining credibility.
washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/03…
@FAIRImmigration "The SPLC should face a reckoning over its extremely shoddy work, which has mistakenly promoted the idea that fringe hate groups are a rising threat...But the SPLC's hate tally is incredibly suspect, as leftist writer Nathan Robinson explained."

THREAD: We're hosting an Immigration Newsmaker conversation with @SenTomCotton today at 7:30a.m. EST.

The conversation, with CIS Executive Director @MarkSKrikorian, can be streamed on the link below, and we'll be live-tweeting the event here.

cis.org/Press-Release/…
@SenTomCotton @MarkSKrikorian .@MarkSKrikorian: "What attracted you to the immigration issue?"

@SenTomCotton: "It's a central issue for the US. It touches on so many concerns: prosperity, security, and community...I stopped that dreaded Gang of Eight bill in its tracks in the House in 2013."
@SenTomCotton @MarkSKrikorian Cotton on the RAISE Act: "There's been no lack of people in Congress focused on immediate things like security and enforcement. But there weren't that many focused on legal immigration. To me, that's a cornerstone. Right now it's just a mishmash of random quotas and set-asides."

House Hearing, "Policy Changes and Processing Delays at USCIS" set to begin at 12pm.

@JessicaV_CIS to testify.

View live stream: cis.org/Testimony/Poli…
THREAD: Jessica Vaughan will be appearing on the second panel in the hearing. We'll be live-tweeting once she begins.

She is going to address the misleading claim that USCIS is intentionally delaying application processing times, and lay out the agency's positive new reforms.
Rep. Armstrong asks about the timing of the rule increasing the minimum investment required for EB-5, the investor visa:

"I expect it to be published relatively soon" -USCIS official

"That's pretty ambiguous. Months?" -@RepArmstrongND

"Less than that" -USCIS official

THREAD: Elizabeth Warren has just released her immigration plan. From decriminalizing illegal entry to ending expedited removal, it is not hyperbolic to describe this plan as verging on open borders. We'll be addressing her proposals one by one here.
.@ewarren joined Julian Castro in calling for decriminalization of illegal entry into the country. This would cause a massive migrant influx that would exacerbate the humanitarian crisis, and enrich cartels along the way who make $1,000 per migrant crossing northern Mexico.
Warren says she'll terminate 287(g), the program that encourages cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.

The 287(g) program has been effective at keeping criminals in jails and off the streets.

How we came to be ruled by Death Eaters by philosopher Heather Marsh. #Trump #Epstein #Andrew #OpDeathEaters georgiebc.wordpress.com/2014/12/05/how…
There are two primary methods of coercion used to enforce societal norms. The most visible is hard coercion, apparent in militias and police as well as courts, prisons, and institutional force of all kinds. (1)
The far more powerful form, without which the hard coercion would not be tolerated, is seductive coercion. (2)

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker refused Saturday to rule out meeting with Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam leader who is known for making anti-Semitic remarks. bizpacreview.com/2019/06/23/boo…
The Southern Poverty Law Center considers the Nation of Islam a hate group because of its anti-Semitic rhetoric and black nationalist ideology.

Farrakhan has made a career out of criticizing Jews and Israel.

SCANDAL #7
It’s official, FL bill HB 631 is now a law and could affect a beach near you even if you don’t live in Florida. Walton County residents were out in droves yesterday (July 1st) to protest this new law, signed by Governor Rick Scott last month.
wjhg.com/content/news/W…
This new #Florida law invalidates local municipalities' #customaryuse ordinances and effectively locks the general public out of using the best parts of Florida’s beaches—unless they can afford to rent (or buy) beachfront property. Lawsuits are pending. #standyoursand
🚫HB 631 bans local municipalities from adopting ordinances to regulate public access to Florida’s beaches above the mean water line.

⁉️But first, where’s the mean water line?

💥In short, it's where everyone wants to sit when they're at the beach.
