A lot of red states might as well just be third world countries at this point

I've seen some lawyers unpack how this will be challenged, but I don't invest following that anymore for many issues given the SCOTUS make-up.

She better not.  This would target immigrant children the most, as they tend to owe a lot of money upon being settled in the US and immediately go to work / drop out of school to pay their fees back and send money back home.

Or more like progressives and conservatives are heading to completely different directions in life right now. And idk where or what this all will lead to.

ban books ban education, make them work to keep the economy 'strong' for the rich. 

 

shameful. 

[Vermillion]

Governor followed through with signing it, as expected. OP updated. I'm just scared for the migrant kids, honestly. 

 

[Hephaestus]

They should be ashamed of this, but I know they aren't because they're fully aware of who this will impact the most. Disgusting!

[Bang Up]

 The "we are protecting children" crowd are awfully silent.

 

Why Dems don't pounce on this and play ads everywhere is insane to me. Such a failure in messaging.

Non-Americans would be best to stop importing products from the American regime given that most American corporations are basically utilizing sweatshop child labor at this point.

All those kids look terrified. Evil.
