The Supreme Court decision should have been 9-0. The fact it was 5-4 reveals how utterly compromised the bench is in favor of right-wing authoritarianism.

Dr. Barber after mentioning the man illegally occupying the Oval Office wants to be king, said “WE ARE NOT BOWING DOWN!”

The Truth About the U.S. Border | Robert Reich
The full story about immigration you aren't getting from politicians and the media. Watch More: The Military-Industrial Drain ►► https://youtu.be/OnR84h7t5kI A desperate combination of factors are driving migrants and asylum seekers to our southern border, from Central America in particular: deep economic inequality, corruption, and high rates of poverty, as well as violence and instability tied to historic U.S. support for brutal authoritarian regimes, right-wing paramilitary groups, and corporate interests in Latin America.

This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved federal funding due to the Trump admin's illegal impoundment.
