Over the past few months, President Donald Trump has been moving back and forth to take steps to ensure that some illegals in Florida remain and not be deported. In June, Trump softened comments about illegal deportees working in the agriculture and hospitality industry. “We must protect the farmers,” he added, “change is coming.” However, after these statements, immigration officers rebutted the president’s comments, saying arrests and tort deportation still occur anywhere in the United States. “There is no safe space for industries that have violent criminals or intentionally attempt to undermine ice efforts,” the immigration officer said. Now, the…
A quick question: What can children be able to read and write for Florida’s future, or what can we be able to warehouse undocumented immigrants at the Everglades camp?A simple answer, I know, but I had to ask. Because both made news last week. I’m going to get politics. Demonizes undocumented immigrants and prostrates Donald Trump before it becomes the new routine for elected Republicans. However, the latest snapshot of Florida student performance is worth far more serious attention. That’s especially true when the person in charge is praising themselves in the face of widespread and deep-rooted failure.The Florida Department…

The Trump administration has put strong pressure on Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to cut borrowing costs, and the two Fed governors recently forked publicly from Powell in July by making…
