A San Diego suburb took center stage in the nation’s acrimonious immigration debate on Tuesday as planning commissioners there rejected a proposal to open a temporary shelter for Central American children caught illegally crossing the U.S. border. By a 6-0 vote, the Escondido Planning Commission found that the proposal for converting a now-vacant retirement home into a 96-bed shelter for young undocumented migrants was incompatible with the neighborhood, many of whose residents opposed the plan. Tuesday night’s action in Escondido, a town about 20 miles north of San Diego, comes as thousands of children from El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua have been streaming into Texas from Mexico by way of human smuggling networks, fleeing extreme poverty, gangs and drug violence in their home countries. The influx has overwhelmed U.S.

  • A New Biden Ad Is Highlighting Trump’s Criminal Conviction
    Mother Jones, Monday - 06/17/2024 - 04:35 PM

    In a new advertisement, President Joe Biden is highlighting the fact that his GOP opponent for the presidency is now a convicted felon—a first in American history.

  • Biden Campaign Calls Trump ‘Convicted Criminal’ in $50 Million Ad Blitz
    Time, Monday - 06/17/2024 - 12:45 PM

    President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign is hoping to leverage Donald Trump’s recent criminal conviction in a bid to sway voters, debuting a new television advertisement on Monday that calls the presumptive Republican presidential nominee “a convicted criminal who’s only out for himself.” [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The ad, part of a $50 million investment that will air in battleground states in June, marks the Biden campaign’s first attempt using Trump’s legal woes in its advertising campaigns since the former President was convicted of falsifying business records to cover up an affair in his New York criminal trial last month.

  • Fox News Host: MSNBC Praising Biden Is Bad For Him
    Crooks and Liars, Monday - 06/17/2024 - 12:18 PM

    Fox News host Harris Faulkner made a bizarre analogy favoring diminished Donald. She's upset that MSNBC contributors have praised President Biden and are unfriendly to Trump. Do you understand the Fox News/Harris Faulkner "logic"? Faulkner played a video mashup. MSNBC: This was a great week for the president. He's having these back-to-back weeks both the national stage and domestically. The president is playing chess, and the former president, at best, is playing like Hungry Hungry Hippo. Well, if that, maybe Uno.
