In Mexico, the Push for a National Care System Is Gaining Momentum

At the heart of unpaid care work in Mexico lies a paradox: The labor sustains the economy, even as it creates barriers to women joining the workforce. All told, the value of uncompensated domestic labor in Mexico amounts to more than 26 percent of GDP, outpacing both the manufacturing sector and trade, according to the country's statistics agency. Yet roughly 20 million Mexican women are not employed because they are busy providing that unpaid labor. Now, a push to build a national care system seeks to recognize and rebalance that work by creating a network of services covering care for children, people with disabilities, the elderly - and the caretakers themselves. President Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's first woman head of state, created a Women's Secretariat that, among other tasks, is charged with building the system. And earlier this month, one of the country's main opposition parties said it would introduce an initiative enshrining the right to care in the Constitution. But the devil is in the details, and building a national care system will take time and resources. Can Mexico get there? The effort to recognize "the right to care, to be cared for, and care for oneself" is not new in Latin America. From the 2007 Quito Consensus on through multiple regional women's summits since then, it has been a focus of attention, and several Latin American countries have taken steps to develop care systems. In 2015, Uruguay became the first country in the region to make such a system law, while others - from Costa Rica to Colombia to Chile - are developing national systems with services ranging from early education programs and job training for people with disabilities, to day centers where the aging can get care and socialize. Beyond care delivery, another goal is to close gender gaps: Across the region, women spend almost triple the amount of time that men do on unpaid domestic and care work. Nowhere in Latin America is that gap between men and women bigger than in Mexico, where women devote, on average, 43 hours a week to unpaid labor - the highest in the region. "If we really want to work at guaranteeing substantive equality, we have to make progress in removing the care burdens that still fall on women," says Martha Tagle, a former federal deputy with the Citizen's Movement, or MC, party, in an interview. Those burdens come with an economic cost, creating a stubborn obstacle to getting women into Mexico's workforce. Over the past decade, Mexican women's labor participation grew by just 3 percent to 46 percent, lagging men's participation by 30 points. At that rate, it will take 56 years for the country to catch up to the OECD average of 67 percent when it comes to women in the workforce, according to the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness, or IMCO, think tank. But closing the gap faster would come with a bonus: IMCO estimates that Mexico's GDP would be 3.7 percent higher if it hit the OECD average by 2035. As Mexico faces the headwinds of U.S. tariff threats and stagnant growth, closing the workforce gap represents an economic opportunity. For that reason alone, a care system is "fundamental," says Odracir Barquera, CEO of the Mexican Automotive Industry Association and previously an adviser to a Mexican senator on women's economic inclusion. "The problem is that the proposal has to be accompanied by resources … because one part can be supplied by the employer, but the other part needs to involve state infrastructure." Some steps toward laying the foundation for that infrastructure have been taken. When Sheinbaum was sworn in as president in October 2024, her inauguration speech included a pledge to implement a national care system through existing health and social service agencies, starting with a dozen childcare centers for day workers and factory employees in the border city of Ciudad Juarez starting later this year. The plan is to subsequently expand these centers to other cities. But financing and access remain open qu...

La vaste offensive anti-immigration de Donald Trump a pris forme dès son discours d'investiture. Dans la soirée du 20 Janvier, il a signé depuis la Maison Blanche le décret déclarant l'état d'urgence à la frontière avec le Mexique. Donald Trump compte aussi s'attaquer au droit d'asile et au droit du sol. À Los Angeles, à des centaines de kilomètres de Washington, c'est l'incrédulité qui domine avec le renforcement de cette politique anti-immigration. Des opérations d'arrestations et d'expulsions massives pourraient débuter très vite.Dans le quartier d'Altadena, ces mêmes immigrés que Donald Trump veut renvoyer dans leur pays aident à déblayer les quartiers dévastés par les incendies qui ont fait 27 morts.« C'est un message que nous voulons envoyer, le jour même de l'investiture », explique Nadia Marin-Molina de l'organisation de défense des droits des travailleurs immigrés, NDLON, rencontré par notre envoyé spécial Achim Lippold. « Alors que les immigrants sont stigmatisés par le nouveau gouvernement, ici, des travailleurs immigrés se mobilisent pour aider leur quartier », poursuit-elle. Certains ont tout perdu : leur maison, leur travail et à présent ils risquent l'expulsion.José, un migrant venu du Guatemala il y a 18 ans est en situation irrégulière et il est inquiet : « J'ai perdu mon emploi parce que je travaillais pour une famille de Pacific Palisades qui a perdu sa maison. Je m'occupais de leur jardin. Alors, comme je n'ai plus rien à faire, je viens ici depuis plusieurs jours pour aider à nettoyer. J'essaie de redonner un peu à ce pays qui m'a tant donné. »Chaque matin, des centaines de bénévoles affluent pour donner un coup de main dans ce quartier particulièrement touché par les feux. Beaucoup sont dans des situations extrêmement précaires : ils n'ont pas accès à l'aide fédérale. Certains évitent même les centres d'aide publiques, par peur des contrôles de la police fédérale de l'immigration qu'ils appellent « la Migra », en espagnol.L'inquiétude sur ce qui va se passer dans les prochains jours est bien réelle, explique José : « Tous mes amis, ceux qui n'ont pas de papiers, disent : mais comment je vais faire ? J'ai une voiture, j'ai un crédit… Ça fait des années que je suis ici, comment je vais faire s'ils me renvoient dans mon pays alors que j'ai des enfants ici ? » À la frontière mexicaine, des milliers de migrants bloqués dans l'attente d'un rendez-vousPremier effet concret de la vaste offensive anti-immigration de Donald Trump : la plateforme de demandes d'asile lancée par l'administration Biden Customs and Border Protection (CBP One) a cessé de fonctionner dès lundi. «Les rendez-vous existants ont été annulés», a indiqué le service sur son site internet.Au Mexique, des milliers de migrants principalement d'origine d'Amérique du Sud et d'Amérique centrale sont déconcertés. Dans la ville frontalière de Ciudad Juarez, Carly Fernandez, rencontré par notre correspondante Gwendolina Duval vient de recevoir un courriel d'annulation de son rendez-vous prévu en février. « On a tant lutté pour arriver là », témoigne-t-elle, « Ma soeur veut rentrer, elle fatigue de tout ce qu'on a enduré pour arriver ici… pour rien… »Au Paso de Norte, lui des points d'entrée pour aller à pied aux États-Unis, Yaledi a eu l'espoir d'être parmi les dernières à bénéficier du programme CBP One comme une centaine d'autres personnes qui attendaient depuis tôt le matin. Mais elle vient d'apprendre qu'elle ne pourra plus déposer une demande d'asile aux États-Unis, malgré son rendez-vous programmé l'après-midi même. « Je trouve que c'est injuste », dit-elle, « ce matin encore des personnes encore sont entrées. Pourquoi on ne nous donne pas cette chance ? Pourquoi ? ». Haïti : la fin du programme Humanitarian Parole « un jour triste pour des milliers d'Haïtiens »Donald Trump a également mis fin au programme « Humanitarian Parole » spécifiquement conçu pour les migrants en provenance d'Haïti, de Cuba, du Nicaragua et du Venezuela.Pour Gotson Pierre, directeur de l'agence Alterpresse, « c'est un jour triste pour des milliers d'Haïtiens qui comptaient sur ce programme appelé aussi « programme Biden » comme moyen pour fuir le pays ». « C'était une voie pour trouver refuge aux États-Unis et tenter de se créer un autre avenir », poursuit-il, « c'est un coup dur pour eux et c'est également l'incertitude pour d'autres qui bénéficiaient du programme temporaire : ils ne savent pas ce que sera leur sort, alors que le président américain brandit la menace de centaines de milliers d'expulsions »Pour Frantz Duval, qui signe un éditorial dans le Nouvelliste intitulé Trump, Haïti et les Haïtiens, Donald Trump « avait fait des Haïtiens installés à Springfield dans l'Ohio les emblèmes de l'immigration délétère » et le président américain avait à plusieurs reprises insulté ceux qui « habitent un sale trou (pour employer un euphémisme) et sont porteurs du Sida ». « Si l'on ignore si Donald Trump va se pencher sur les affaires haïtiennes autrement que via son programme restrictif sur l'immigration », poursuit l'éditorialiste, « il a déjà annoncé la couleur : le programme humanitarian Parole » qui bénéficie à de nombreux Haïtiens, « a pris fin ce jour même quelques heures après sa prestation de serment ». « Le président Trump peut nous enfoncer, nous laisser cuire dans notre jus ou nous ignorer. Dans tous les cas, nous avons des devoirs à faire. », conclut le Nouvelliste. Certains décrets anti-immigration de Trump « compliqués voire impossibles à mettre en œuvre »État d'urgence à la frontière avec le Mexique et «millions» d'expulsions promises, retrait de l'accord de Paris sur le climat, grâces pour des centaines d'assaillants du Capitole... L'avalanche de décrets signés par Donald Trump pour son retour au pouvoir compte quelques mesures spectaculaires qui risquent néanmoins d'être difficiles à mettre en œuvre. Elles promettent aussi de vives contestations devant les tribunaux. Certaines semblent même violer la constitution américaine.«Si le message est très clair», dit le NY Times, certains de ces décrets anti-immigration feront face à « de gros défis d'un point de vue légal et pourraient être compliqués voire impossible à appliquer ». Pour exemple, l'état d'urgence décrété à la frontière mexicaine et le rôle de l'armée qui pourrait être sollicité pour autre chose qu'un simple maintien de l'ordre. Le décret indique que l'armée aidera à « refermer les frontières et maintenir la souveraineté, l'intégrité du territoire et la sécurité des États-Unis en repoussant les différentes formes d'invasion ».« Cette directive pourrait entrer en opposition avec une loi datant de 1870 appelée le Posse Comitatus Act qui limite l'usage des troupes fédérales à des fins de maintien de l'ordre à l'intérieur des États-Unis », explique le NY Times qui fait aussi allusion à la volonté de Donald Trump de mettre fin au droit du sol, qui viendrait contredire le « 14ième amendement vieux de 157 ans, et d'ailleurs, dans les heures qui ont suivi cette annonce », explique le quotidien américain, « l'union américaine des libertés civiles a déjà annoncé sa volonté d'intenter un procès. » Colombie : l'état d'urgence décrété pour 90 joursLa Colombie fait face à une vague de violences, des affrontements entre guérillas qui ont déjà fait plus d'une centaine de morts et 20 000 déplacés. Le président Gustavo Petro a déclaré l'état d'urgence, un décret qui sera effectif pour 90 jours avec possibilité de prolongation jusqu'à 270 jours, précise El espectador dans son édition du jour, mais le président colombien aura besoin de l'aval du Parlement s'il veut prolonger.Pour Semana qui cite des sources gouvernementales, l'état d'urgence ne s'appliquera pas à tout le territoire mais « dans les municipalités les plus touchées du nord de Santander en raison des affrontements entre l'ELN et les dissidents des FARC. »« C'est un caprice pour gouverner par décret », fustige l'opposition dans El espectador. La sénatrice María Fernanda Cabal du Centre Démocratique estime que « la situation dans la région du Catatumbo autour du contrôle de la production de cocaïne a été créée par le président lui-même. »

Even before taking office, President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to impose huge trade tariffs on Mexico, deport millions of undocumented Latino migrants out of the United States and crack down on the flow of drugs like fentanyl from Latin America into the US. And he's threatened to take control of the Panama Canal and re-name the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America”. He has criticised the BRICS group of developing nations – which includes Brazil – for floating the idea of a new currency to challenge the dominance of the US dollar in international trade. And he has praised Argentina's maverick right-wing president Javier Milei for cutting state expenditure. So what will Trump's second presidency mean for Latin America – a region that used to be known as “America's back yard”?

Culture, finances and people have always moved with fluidity across boundaries within the binational, three-state metropolitan region known as ‘the Borderplex.' Together, Las Cruces, El Paso, and Ciudad Juarez are an economic powerhouse with a combined population of 2.7 million and the largest bilingual and binational workforce in the Western Hemisphere.  After the North American Free Trade Agreement was reached in 1994, Borderplex assets—including its urbanization and industrialization—exploded for decades. The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement updated NAFTA commitments in 2018, realigining regional trade in a way that paid off as COVID-19 brought volatility to global commerce for years to come. With instabilities persisting today in the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Asia, the appeal of an international supply chain physically closer to U.S. markets has only grown.  Connected to the greater U.S. by Interstates 10 and 25, The Borderplex is a growing arterial for international trade and is further optimized by collaborative economic planning between leaders in all three of its cities. As a result of all of these and other factors, last year, Mexico surpassed China as the top importer to the U.S.-- a position China had held since 2009.  The Hunt Institute for Global Competitiveness at the University of Texas at El Paso and The Borderplex Alliance are two prominent organizations supporting the assets and relationships that make The Borderplex so critical to the U.S. They each provide expert analysis and guidance to companies and individuals interested in engaging this regional binational economic hub.  In this episode, Jon Barela, CEO of the Borderplex Alliance, and Mayra Maldonado, executive director of the Hunt Institute, offer their perspectives on these exchanges and what it means to be a binational region within the current political climate.  Fact check of today's interview:  In this interview, a guest refers to El Paso, Texas, as the second safest city in the US with a population of half a million or more. Although this distinction appears to have been given in 2017 and is not the city's current ranking, El Paso consistently ranks as one of the safer cities in the US for its population size.  Relevant links and resources:  Episode one of the series: “10X Border Series: Why U.S. Immigration Reform is Critical to Our Future with Dr. David Shirk”  Episode two of the series: “10X Border Series: Climate-Induced Drought Tests U.S.-Mexico Water-Sharing”  “The Transformative Power of Reduced Wait Times at the US-Mexico Border” (joint report between the Hunt Institute, Atlantic Council and El Colegio de la Frontera Norte)  Hunt Institute's overview of the Paso del Norte Region

HARLINGEN, Texas - On his recent visit to the Rio Grande Valley, Rolando Pablos gave advice on how to grow the RioPlex marketing brand.Pablos, a former Texas Secretary of State, wrote the roadmap for the Borderplex Alliance, the regional economic development entity for El Paso, Ciudad Juarez, and Santa Teresa.As a guest of the CEO Group and the Hidalgo County Prosperity Task Force, Pablos spoke to an audience of VIPs at the Harlingen Convention Center. The CEO Group and the task force wanted to glean best practices from Pablos as they develop RioPlex, a branding initiative to help market the Valley and northern Tamaulipas across the globe.After his speech, Pablos gave an interview to the Rio Grande Guardian. In the interview he spoke about his key takeaway from the meeting, the underlying reason the Texas economy is booming, how the BorderPlex Alliance came about, the state of the El Paso economy, the huge multi-modal facility in Santa Teresa, the importance of advocating in Austin and Washington, D.C., and the advice he had for RioPlex.“Here in the Valley, you have access to the entire world. And so my recommendation is take advantage of it. The sea port, is it in Brownsville? Yes, but it benefits the entire region. And so why not use that as a starting point to reach out to the world. The port here is already doing well. It needs to be supported and it needs to be marketed along with the entire region,” Pablos said.Here is the interview:Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

Consigue tus boletos para el Show de Herejes en Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua "Obsesionados con Jacobo Grinberg" en este link https://herejes-en-juarez.boletia.com/ Benjamín Netanyahu, conocido por muchos como "Bibi", ha sido una figura central en la política israelí durante décadas. Desde su primer mandato como Primer Ministro en 1996 hasta su reciente salida del poder en 2021, Netanyahu ha navegado por las aguas turbulentas de la política con una mezcla de carisma, tenacidad y una astuta manipulación del miedo y el conflicto. En este episodio, exploraremos la vida de Netanyahu desde sus inicios, su relación intrincada y a menudo polémica con el poder, y cómo su visión ha moldeado y, en muchos casos, polarizado al Estado de Israel. Hablaremos de sus vínculos con la guerra, su rol en los conflictos con Palestina y cómo, bajo su liderazgo, los intentos de paz han enfrentado enormes obstáculos. Además, profundizaremos en las diferencias fundamentales entre el sionismo secular y el sionismo religioso, un tema central para entender la política israelí y el legado de Netanyahu. Es importante destacar que, aunque Netanyahu ha sido una figura dominante, no todo Israel comparte su visión. Existe una diversidad de opiniones y un ferviente debate interno sobre el futuro del país y su relación con sus vecinos. 2024 es el año de Herejes en Patreon.

One of the more profound impacts of the Cartel wars has been the focus on the violence in many areas of the country, and corresponding diminishing attention to Mexico's rich and diverse history, culture, and economy. In this Episode, I look at this concept through the lens of Ciudad Juarez. Specifically, I examine the city's fascinating history, as well the rise and fall of the Juarez Cartel.  Next, I look at the current Cartel battles for control of the city and the economy in Juarez today. Finally, I put a human face on the cartel influences in Juarez by looking at the tragic impact the violence has had on the children of Juarez, their education, and their families.

On Tuesday, Ferromex halted 60 trains carrying cargo due to recent spate of injuries and deaths occurring from migrants catching rides. “Despite the grave danger,” some hitchhikers even jumped aboard moving freight cars, the company said. “There has been a significant increase in the number of migrants in recent days,” Ferromex said in the statement, according to AP, noting that the temporary suspension of operations was being done “to protect the physical safety of the migrants.” On Wednesday, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador called the company's decision "strange" and "unusual." According to Ferromex, the worst problems appeared to be further north. The company said there were about 1,500 people gathered at a rail yard in the city of Torreon. The company also reported about 800 migrants waiting at the freight yards in Irapuato, in the north-central state of Guanajuato. About 1,000 people were reported to be riding freight cars on the train line that connects the northern border city of Ciudad Juarez. Ferromex is Mexico’s largest concessionary rail operator and the impact of the train stoppage will be “very important,” said Ana Bertha Gutiérrez, the international trade coordinator for the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness. According to estimates from the company, the decision to halt the 60 trains translated into a daily loss of about $2.34 million. On Wednesday, some operations had been restarted for routes where there was no "heightened risk," Reuters reported, but company executives are set to meet on Friday with members of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and members of the Mexican government to discuss next steps. https://www.dailyfetched.com/opening-the-floodgates-greg-abbott-accuses-biden-admin-of-cutting-razor-wire-at-border/ ‘OPENING THE FLOODGATES:’ Greg Abbott Accuses Biden Admin of Cutting Razor Wire at Border The news comes amid tension between Texas officials and the White House over the migrant crisis at the Southern border. Abbott made the announcement Wednesday. “Texas installed razor wire in Eagle Pass to stop illegal crossings,” Abbott explained on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Today the Biden Admin CUT that wire, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants.” “I immediately deployed more Texas National Guard to repel illegal crossings & install more razor wire,” the Republican governor added after accusing the Biden admin of cutting it at the border. Abbot later posted a letter he sent to Joe Biden, declaring that the President’s policies caused “an invasion at our border,’ The New York Post reported. “We are building a border wall, razor wire & marine barriers,” Abbott wrote. “We are also repelling migrants,” he added. Earlier this year, the Department of Justice (DOJ) sued Texas for installing a buoy barrier, which was designed to prevent illegal immigration, on the Rio Grande. The barrier was part of Abbott’s Operation Lone Star. The DOJ claimed that the barrier obstructed “the navigable capacity of waters of the United States,” adding that it raised humanitarian, environmental, and public safety concerns. A federal judge initially told Texas to move the buoys, but a US Court of Appeals upheld that decision. The case is currently being deliberated through courts. The Daily Fetched reported earlier in September that the Biden administration allowed thousands of illegal immigrants to pour into America through “welded open” floodgates on the Arizona border. The open floodgates in Tuscan are now the busiest point of illegal entry into the country.” A post on Instagram by James Breeden showed illegal aliens arriving “from as far away as Senegal, India, and China.” The Biden administration is also dismantling, disposing, and auctioning portions of the Mexican-American border wall constructed under Donald Trump. Border wall material, including “thick wall tubes,” has been sold on the auction site GovPlanet since April 2022. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/poland-stop-weapons-ukraine-grain-imports Poland to stop providing weapons to Ukraine as dispute over grain imports intensifies Poland will stop providing weapons to Ukraine the Prime Minister announced on Wednesday, due to a growing dispute over grain. “We no longer transfer weapons to Ukraine because we are now arming Poland,” Morawiecki said on social media. While Poland has been one of Ukraine’s staunchest allies since Russia invaded in February 2022, due in part to concerns about further aggression from Moscow should it successfully topple Kyiv, they are currently in dispute over Poland, Hungary, and Slovakia's intention to defy a European Union decision to suspend a ban on Ukrainian grain imports which had been in place to protect the livelihood of local farmers. The ban had been put in place earlier this year by several EU nations to protect local farmers who were worried about being undercut by low prices of Ukrainian grain. Ukraine has filed lawsuits against each of the three countries at the World Trade Organization over their intent to defy the ending of the restrictions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky referenced the subject during his address to the United Nations General Assembly, saying, “It is alarming to see how some in Europe, some of our friends in Europe, play out solidarity in a political theater — making a thriller from the grain.” The remarks prompted immediate condemnation from Polish leaders, who went as far as to summon the Ukrainian ambassador to Warsaw to share their “strong protest.” Polish Foreign Minister Pawel Jablonski told Ukraine’s ambassador that Zelensky’s statement was “untrue,” given Poland had been “supporting Ukraine since the first days of the war.” He also said, “Putting pressure on Poland in multilateral forums or sending complaints to international tribunals are not appropriate methods of resolving disputes between our countries,” according to a statement from the ministry. The Polish-Ukrainian standoff has escalated ahead of Poland's upcoming elections on Oct. 15. Poland has provided Ukraine with Soviet-era tanks, fighter jets, and other weapons, making it the sixth biggest military donor to Ukraine, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, and it has taken in more than 1.5 million refugees. Now, Poland, Morawieki told Polsat News, "will protect our country." “We are no longer transferring any weapons, because we will now arm ourselves with the most modern weapons.” https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/kevin-mccarthy-volodymyr-zelenskyy-joint-address/2023/09/21/id/1135367/ McCarthy Denied Zelenskyy's Wish to Address Congress House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., declined Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's request to deliver a joint address to Congress, as he did last December, multiple outlets reported. The New York Times first reported the denial Wednesday. Zelenskyy is in Washington, D.C., in part, to beseech lawmakers for more aid in Ukraine's war against Russia. Instead, McCarthy met with Zelenskyy privately along with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., and other committee chairs and ranking members. Zelenskyy met with senators after that meeting. McCarthy's denial, citing time constraints of a busy week, comes amid House Republicans' struggle to beat a Sept. 30 deadline to pass spending bills in order to prevent a government shutdown. The U.S. has sent more than $100 billion to Ukraine in military, financial, and humanitarian aid since Russia invaded in February, 2022, but Republican lawmakers are pushing back on sending any more. In an exclusive interview with Newsmax on Wednesday, Zelenskyy said the cost of Russia prevailing in Ukraine is greater than American dollars. Zelenskyy is also meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House and will visit the Pentagon. https://thenationalpulse.com/2023/09/21/almost-3-4-of-americans-think-the-nation-is-becoming-a-police-state/ Almost 3/4 of Americans Think The Nation is Becoming a Police State Almost three-quarters of Americans – 72 percent – admit to being concerned that the United States is becoming a “police state” engaging in mass surveillance, censorship, ideological indoctrination, and the targeting of political opponents, according to a recent survey from Rasmussen Reports. Of those concerned, 46 percent told pollsters that they were “very concerned” that the state is becoming tyrannical, with 26 percent answering “somewhat concerned.” Only 23 percent of Americans said they were not concerned, with less than one in ten Americans answering “not at all concerned.” Rasmussen also asked the 998 likely American vetoers whether they agreed with the statement: “The FBI is a danger to the freedom and security of law-abiding Americans?” Half of the respondents agreed with the statement, with the majority answered “strongly agree.” Republicans overwhelmingly agreed, with 45 percent answering “strongly agree” and another 23 percent answered “somewhat agree.” A total of 45 percent disagreed with the statement, with 26 percent strongly disagreeing. Democrats felt more strongly that the FBI assists freedom and security as 36 percent strongly disagreed, and a further 22 percent somewhat disagreed. Lastly, Rasmussen asked whether those surveyed: “Which political party is a bigger threat to basic liberties in America: Democrats or Republicans?” Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of both parties – 76 percent of Republicans and 65 percent of Democrats – told pollsters the opposition party was the greater threat. However, more Democrats believe their party is a bigger threat at 26 percent than Republicans at 20 percent.

McCarthy's denial, citing time constraints of a busy week, comes amid House Republicans' struggle to beat a Sept. 30 deadline to pass spending bills in order to prevent a government shutdown. The U.S. has sent more than $100 billion to Ukraine in military, financial, and humanitarian aid since Russia invaded in February, 2022, but Republican lawmakers are pushing back on sending any more. In an exclusive interview with Newsmax on Wednesday, Zelenskyy said the cost of Russia prevailing in Ukraine is greater than American dollars. Zelenskyy is also meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House and will visit the Pentagon. https://thenationalpulse.com/2023/09/21/almost-3-4-of-americans-think-the-nation-is-becoming-a-police-state/ Almost 3/4 of Americans Think The Nation is Becoming a Police State Almost three-quarters of Americans – 72 percent – admit to being concerned that the United States is becoming a “police state” engaging in mass surveillance, censorship, ideological indoctrination, and the targeting of political opponents, according to a recent survey from Rasmussen Reports. Of those concerned, 46 percent told pollsters that they were “very concerned” that the state is becoming tyrannical, with 26 percent answering “somewhat concerned.” Only 23 percent of Americans said they were not concerned, with less than one in ten Americans answering “not at all concerned.” Rasmussen also asked the 998 likely American vetoers whether they agreed with the statement: “The FBI is a danger to the freedom and security of law-abiding Americans?” Half of the respondents agreed with the statement, with the majority answered “strongly agree.” Republicans overwhelmingly agreed, with 45 percent answering “strongly agree” and another 23 percent answered “somewhat agree.” A total of 45 percent disagreed with the statement, with 26 percent strongly disagreeing. Democrats felt more strongly that the FBI assists freedom and security as 36 percent strongly disagreed, and a further 22 percent somewhat disagreed. Lastly, Rasmussen asked whether those surveyed: “Which political party is a bigger threat to basic liberties in America: Democrats or Republicans?” Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of both parties – 76 percent of Republicans and 65 percent of Democrats – told pollsters the opposition party was the greater threat. However, more Democrats believe their party is a bigger threat at 26 percent than Republicans at 20 percent.

Sister Christa shares her vocation story and how she became a Catholic Sister. Though she served in Peru before joining the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and went to Catholic Theological Union, her desire to serve people where they are led her to accompany the people at the US-Mexico border, specifically in Ciudad Juárez. “I want to be able to live with the people and be involved in their daily lives, and to sit with them in their struggles and their joys," says Sister Christa. Sister Christa also tells some of the tragic stories happening to women and refugees in Juárez (and a warning to listeners: many of these stories contain terrible violence and suffering). But always, Sister Christa tells us, the humanity of the people living there, Mexican and refugees, shines through. Also, Christa tells Julia that while she and her fellow workers give the refugees a chance to regroup before the next stages of their journeys, but they also form a community with each other and become a family. Sister Christa adds, “When our families come to us all we can do is love them, provide them basics, and also to learn from [them] because our siblings teach us how to accompany.” ABOUT THE GUEST Sister Christa Parra is a member of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She is part of an intercongregational intercultural community in El Paso, Texas and a third generation Mexican-American from a small border town in Arizona. A graduate of Catholic Theological Union in Chicago, she earned a Master of Divinity and Certificate in Hispanic Theology and Ministry in 2016. She loves serving our brothers and sisters in Christ and presently does so through a pastoral accompaniment role at a shelter in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. *To donate directly to Sister Christa and the IBVM's ministry in Ciudad Juárez: https://ibvm.us/support-us/make-a-gift/general-donation/ Under the "Designation Tab" choose Ministry FundUnder "Leave a comment" type "Migrant Ministry in Ciudad Juarez" *To learn more about and donate to Annunciation House in El Paso go to: https://annunciationhouse.org/ *Facebook page for Casa Eudes in Juárez: https://www.facebook.com/micasaeudes *Website for Centro Santa Catalina in Juárez: https://centrodesantacatalina.org/ *Sister Christa's page at Catholic Women Preach: https://www.catholicwomenpreach.org/preacher/christa-parra *Sister Christa's speech at Catholic Theological Union's 2016 graduation ceremony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qgzYaYL5v0 MESSY JESUS BUSINESS is hosted by Sister Julia Walsh.  Produced and edited by Colin Wambsgans.

Dozens of migrants are dead after a fire swept through a holding facility in the Mexican border town of Ciudad Juárez. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador says the fire was started by migrants who were protesting news of their deportation. And, during the Khmer Rouge's reign, many of Cambodia's ancient relics were spirited out of the country. Now, looted antiquities are starting to be returned. Also, protests in France continued on Tuesday as workers railed against raising the retirement age from 62 to 64. These reforms would theoretically help young people, but students have turned out in droves to support the older generation.
