The Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Acting Director of ICE, and the Director of USCIS are all expected to testify today before the House Homeland Security Committee. This hearing takes place as the government faces another potential partial shutdown if Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding is not passed by the end of the week. Representative Brad Knott (R-NC) joins the Rundown to discuss the standoff over Democratic demands for ICE reform. Florida is now mandating that all driving tests be conducted in English only. While critics argue the rule is rooted in bias rather than safety data, Governor Ron DeSantis and other proponents defend the change as a common-sense measure to ensure drivers can comprehend road signs and laws. Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins joins the Rundown to discuss the policy—catalyzed by a fatal 2025 crash involving a non-English proficient commercial driver—and why he hopes the rest of the country follows the Sunshine State's lead.

Chef Sean Sherman from Owamni joins Jason after a trip to Washington to share a petition with Senator Tina Smith involving immigration and the need for reform.

Friday 4pm Hour: Jason hosts another exciting edition of his game-show - Card DeSharks! Then he's joined by Sean Sherman from Owamni joins Jason after a trip to Washington to meet with Sen. Tina Smith with a petition for immigration reform.

Today's episode is not the one I planned to release. I was supposed to share an interview I was excited about, but it didn't feel right to move forward after the tragic killings by ICE agents in Minnesota. Families are grieving. Communities are scared. And pretending everything is normal felt like the wrong move.In this solo emergency episode, I speak honestly about not having the right words, but choosing to not stay silent. The Healthy Project was created to shine a light on the systems that harm people, and what happened in Minnesota is not just a headline. It is state violence. It is the predictable result of a system built on fear and enforcement.This episode is about sitting with discomfort, naming what's happening, and turning awareness into action. I share why immigration enforcement has always been violent, why no human being deserves to die because of documentation status, and what you can do right now to support impacted communities.We talk about:The ICE killings in Minnesota and why this matters to all of usHow silence protects harmful systemsThe human cost behind immigration enforcementWays you can take action through education, mutual aid, and community supportThis is a heavy episode. But it's a necessary one. You don't need perfect words to show up. You just need to refuse to look away. ★ Support this podcast ★

How Congress Can Stop ICE Abuses—And Why It Must Act Now | The Karel Show Let's be clear: border enforcement and legal immigration are not the problem. Violent criminals, drug traffickers, and human traffickers should not be on our streets. That's not controversial. What is the problem is how ICE is operating — and Congress has the power to stop it. Now. With the January 31 funding deadline approaching, Congress needs 60 votes to fund DHS/ICE. If Democrats vote no, the votes aren't there — and ICE is defunded. That's not radical. It's constitutional leverage. Afterward, Congress can rebuild immigration enforcement the right way: clear rules, real oversight, and accountability that protects both public safety and human rights. We also address why Kristi Noem has failed as a leader in this moment — and why resignation or impeachment should be on the table when leadership enables harm instead of preventing it. Immigration reform is one thing. Removing criminals is one thing. Killing civilians is another — and it must stop. Plus: why has air travel become so miserable? From shrinking seats to engineered discomfort, we unpack why airlines seem determined to make flying unbearable — and who's letting them get away with it. The Karel Show is live Monday–Thursday at 10:30am PST, streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, Spreaker, and more — and simulcast on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

In the final installment of A New Contract With America, Professor Nick Giordano lays out the last two pillars needed to restore America's strength, prosperity, and legitimacy. Part Three focuses on achieving true energy independence, unlocking America's rare earth mineral wealth to fuel economic revival, and restoring trust in elections through commonsense reforms that ensure transparency, accountability, and confidence in the system. These are not theoretical ideas or costly government programs. They are practical, achievable solutions that strengthen national security, lower the cost of living, and reconnect Americans to institutions they no longer trust. This episode ties all ten reforms together and explains how they work in concert to build a freer, stronger, more fiscally responsible America. Episode Highlights How energy independence and rare earth mineral development can spark economic growth and strengthen national security Why election integrity reforms are essential to restoring faith in democracy and increasing voter participation How all ten reforms in A New Contract With America work together to create a more prosperous, free, and accountable nation

As the country deals with the aftermath of the widely criticized open border policy of the Biden administration, the question we now face is what to do next. There are real problems behind illegal immigration and there are practical solutions […] The post FAIR Immigration Reform first appeared on Voices of Montana.

Today we're talking about something a lot of conservatives don't want to admit yet: MAGA, as we knew it, is over. Donald Trump failed his base past the point of no return. In this episode, I break down why. Including his refusal to release the Epstein list, his repeated support for foreign nations over the American people, and his insistence on importing more H-1B workers from India, which undercuts American jobs and suppresses American wages. This movement was supposed to be America First. Somewhere along the way, the “First” quietly disappeared. Let's talk about why that happened, and where we go from here.

Steve Gruber is joined by Congresswoman Maria Elvira Salazar, U.S. Representative for Florida's 27th District and author of Dignity Not Citizenship: The Truth About Immigration No One Is Telling You. They discuss the immigration crisis that has reached a breaking point after decades of political gridlock and years of reckless open-border policies under President Biden. Salazar explains why ICE raids or blanket amnesty won't solve the problem and shares her bold legislative solution, the Dignity Act, a pragmatic, bipartisan plan that secures borders, strengthens the economy, and provides long-term undocumented immigrants a path to step out of the shadows. This conversation is about real solutions, restoring dignity, and reclaiming America's moral leadership.

What we're hearing across all sectors of agriculture is that having a reliable workforce remains a number one challenge today. Karen Gefvert, chief policy officer for Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative and Voice of Milk, says it’s an issue the organization is deeply engaged in. In talking with Stephanie Hoff, Gefvert notes that this has been a 40-year battle. She says the current system doesn't work for dairy. Dairy farmers need an entry-level workforce. The only program that can address that is H2A, but dairy is prohibited from using it.Not much moisture in the latest forecast from Stu Muck. Temperatures remain on track for the last few days of October. Muck also notes a statewide FFA Foundation Auction that's happening now.Knowing a company's origins and roots can help explain how they do business. Pam Jahnke talks with Ashley Huhn about how the Steffes Group actually got started, and why they take pride in creating their own systems not just relying on third party services to handle business. Paid for by Steffes Group.Wisconsin dairy farmer, John Rosenow, has been a vocal proponent of immigration reform for decades. His dairy operation in the Waumandee Valley of western Wisconsin relies heavily on immigrant labor. Rosenow has joined a newly formed coalition called "Grow It Here" that's trying to advance meaningful immigration reform for agriculture. Rosenow says of his 18 full-time workers, 13 are from Mexico. Today's H2A visas don't work for dairy.The market's feeling more optimistic today after a weekend full of trade announcements out of SE Asia. John Heinberg, market advisor with Total Farm Marketing in West Bend tells Pam Jahnke that it's good news for corn, soybean meal, pork and beef. There's also still a buzz about potential trade developments with China. Still the gorilla in the room according to Heinberg.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A fair, humane, and orderly immigration system should think of the US as the top destination for top talent from around the world, as well as a beacon of hope. Changing the law to give permanent legal status and a pathway to citizenship would fix the current failed immigration system.   Todd's civic action toolkit recommendations are:  Post know-your-rights material at your place of worship or local grocery store Ask your HR to have legal resources for immigrant employees   Todd Schulte is the President of FWD.us, where he has directed successful efforts to make the case that immigrants and immigration power the US economy, help us win the global race for talent, and strengthen the American workforce.      Woohoo!

Opening Reflections and California Concerns The AgNet News Hour began with hosts Nick Papagni and Lorrie Boyer sharing lighthearted Friday greetings before shifting to California's serious agricultural challenges. Papagni noted worsening Central Valley air quality caused by wildfires, likening the smoke to winter fog. He warned that tensions between state and federal governments over forest management may intensify as fall approaches. Boyer added that federal intervention could even extend to California's 2028 Olympic preparations. Policy Spotlight: Mexican Wolf Debate Boyer reported on a House Natural Resources Subcommittee hearing on the Enhancing Safety for Animals Act of 2025. The legislation would delist the Mexican wolf from the Endangered Species Act, a move supported by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, the Arizona and New Mexico Cattle Growers Associations, and the Public Lands Council. Tom Patterson, President-elect of the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association, testified that wolf populations have shifted from a livestock concern to a community safety threat, citing attacks on pets, horses, and even children. In regulatory news, the EPA declined stricter wastewater rules for meat and poultry processors, concluding that current Clean Water Act requirements suffice. The National Chicken Council applauded this decision as a balanced approach to water quality regulation. Immigration Reform and the Dignity Act The program's central feature was an interview with Manuel Cunha, President of the Nisei Farmers League, who addressed farm labor shortages and immigration policy. He highlighted the bipartisan Dignity Act (H.R. 4393), introduced by Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) and Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX), as the most promising reform since the early 2000s. The Act includes a three-pronged approach: Long-Term Residents – renewable work authorization cards with penalties for undocumented status. Legal Pathways for New Workers – stronger background checks and legal entry channels. Criminal Entrants – removal of individuals linked to crime or gang activity. Cunha emphasized that the Act also provides protections for Dreamers and addresses Social Security benefits for long-term contributors who have paid into the system for decades. Coyotes, Fear, and Fake Documents Cunha warned about coyotes—human smugglers who charge up to $15,000 per person and often supply migrants with fraudulent documents. Workers fall into debt while employers unknowingly hire with false credentials. He called the system a “disaster” and urged growers to pressure congressional leaders like David Valadao, Jim Costa, Jimmy Panetta, and Vince Fong to support the Dignity Act. Despite federal assurances, many farmworkers still live in daily fear of deportation. Some alter their appearance to avoid suspicion, while enforcement remains concentrated in large metropolitan sanctuary cities. Farm Labor: Hard Work Few Will Do Papagni stressed that farm labor is not unskilled work, pointing to strawberry, lettuce, melon, and table grape harvesting as examples requiring years of expertise. Cunha agreed, noting that domestic welfare recipients are unlikely to take on such demanding jobs—something proven during the 1996–1998 Welfare to Work Program. With many long-time workers nearing retirement and fewer young people entering agriculture, Cunha pressed for a comprehensive guest worker program. A Call to Action Cunha's message to farmers and ag communities was clear: contact your congressional representatives and urge support for the Dignity Act. He highlighted Vince Fong as a key California lawmaker yet to sign on. If passed, the bill would initiate a five- to six-month rule-writing process, during which workers would receive documentation verifying employment, providing immediate protection while regulations are finalized. Farm Income and Market Updates According to the U.S. Economic Research Service (ERS): Net farm income in 2025 is projected at $179.5 billion, up 40.7% from 2024—the second-highest on record. Median farm household income, however, is projected to decline by $1,189 in 2025, reflecting weaker off-farm earnings. Government payments are forecast at $40.5 billion, the highest since 2020. The dairy sector is also strengthening, with exports reaching 18.7% of domestic production in June—the highest since 2022. Domestic yogurt consumption rose 12.2%, while overall use of milk solids grew 3%. Competitiveness and Global Pressures Papagni noted the difficulty of competing with countries paying $10–20 per day compared to California's $16 per hour wages, combined with stricter U.S. regulations. Boyer emphasized that despite higher costs, U.S. agriculture provides the world's safest and most affordable food supply, thanks largely to immigrant labor. Citrus Greening and Global Potato Trends Rick Dantzler of the Citrus Research and Development Foundation reported promising progress in the fight against citrus greening disease. Oxytetracycline trunk injections are showing strong results, with healthier canopies and improved fruit quality, though production costs rose 7%. Meanwhile, the global frozen potato market has shifted dramatically. Between 2019 and 2024, China and India moved from net importers to exporters of frozen fries and processed potato products, expanding markets into Asia and the Middle East. Criminal Provisions in the Dignity Act The legislation also strengthens criminal enforcement, including: Tougher penalties for illegal re-entry after multiple deportations. DNA testing to confirm family ties. Stricter penalties for voting by non-citizens. Increased minimum penalties for child sex trafficking. Boyer linked these provisions directly to combating coyote networks and broader exploitation. Wrapping Up The episode closed with Papagni and Boyer urging farmers to engage in the policy debate, follow updates at AgNetWest.com, and recognize that immigration reform is essential to keeping U.S. agriculture competitive and sustainable.

Morning Reflections and California's Challenges The AgNet News Hour with Nick Papagni and guest host Lorrie Boyer began lightheartedly, reflecting on post-Labor Day routines, before quickly turning to the serious challenges facing California agriculture. Recent thunderstorms in the Central Valley brought rare lightning-sparked fires near Madera, while wildfires threatened vineyards in Napa Valley, raising concerns about crop damage and smoke exposure. Boyer praised first responders who not only battle flames but also protect livestock, property, and agricultural operations during these crises. Wildfires and Insurance Struggles Papagni highlighted California's ongoing forest management concerns. Vast tracts of unmanaged forest continue to fuel devastating wildfires. He recalled earlier calls to strengthen the lumber industry as part of the solution, but progress has been slow. Insurance further complicates recovery. While crop insurance now covers smoke damage for vineyards, rural homeowners and farm operators face skyrocketing premiums—or outright withdrawal of coverage by major insurers. The Decline of Family Farms The program featured an interview with Brian Reisinger, author of Land Rich, Cash Poor. Reisinger described modern agriculture as an era of turbulence, where economic crises, shifting policies, soaring costs, and technological pressures are pushing many farmers to the brink. California farmers, already burdened by water shortages, must also contend with labor shortages, rising fertilizer prices, and high freight costs. These economic pressures are forcing many family farms to close, sell, or consolidate into larger corporate operations. Engaging Farmers and Communities Reisinger announced a book signing in Redding, California, to encourage open dialogue with farm families. He emphasized that while the problems are immense, solutions emerge when farmers, consumers, and policymakers work together. Communities remain deeply engaged and eager to find ways to sustain agriculture. Politics, Regulations, and Taxes Despite widespread political claims of “supporting farmers,” Reisinger argued that real action is rare. Farmers need policies that encourage entrepreneurship and access to new markets, not just rhetoric. California's heavy regulatory burden and high taxes, he said, harm small and medium farms just as much as large operations. Instead of helping “the little guy,” many rules unintentionally drive more farms out of business. Misunderstood Farmers and Vanishing Farmland Reisinger pointed to cases like dairy producer Stephanie Moreda in Petaluma, where NGOs attempted to seize farmland, as examples of farmers being unfairly vilified. He urged the public to recognize that family farmers are environmental stewards who care for soil, water, and livestock. Meanwhile, urban development in the Central Valley continues to devour farmland, adding pressure on limited water resources. Reisinger warned that the U.S. has already lost over 4 million farms in the last century, with fewer than 2 million left. If trends continue, many could vanish within 40 years. Trade Pressures and Unfair Competition Papagni shared the struggles of a Central Valley winery family facing unfair foreign competition. Reisinger explained that U.S. farmers face high labor and regulatory costs, while imports from countries with lower standards flood domestic markets. He called for smarter, commodity-specific trade negotiations, ensuring imports meet the same standards as U.S. products while protecting critical markets like raisins, beef, and tomatoes. Lessons from the Farm Crisis Reisinger drew parallels to the 1980s farm crisis, when government policies on debt and interest rates devastated many farm families. He warned that today's policymakers risk repeating mistakes by misunderstanding agricultural realities and placing additional burdens on producers. Water, Energy, and Political Missteps Water policy remains California's defining agricultural challenge. Papagni criticized priorities like solar panel expansion while 70% of the state's water flows unused to the ocean. Farmers, he argued, need real water storage solutions. Reisinger added that collaboration between environmentalists and farmers could yield shared benefits—if politics did not keep both sides entrenched. Education, FFA, and Generational Shifts Agricultural education programs like FFA play a vital role in reconnecting youth to farming. Boyer noted that membership is at an all-time high, reflecting renewed interest, but Papagni cautioned that many farm families still see younger generations leaving agriculture altogether. This generational gap extends beyond farming to related industries like trucking, creating labor shortages across the supply chain. Automation and Drones: Farming's Future Technology offers one path forward. Papagni encouraged youth to pursue careers in agricultural automation, from precision irrigation to drone technology. Farmers already save up to 30% of water with precision systems, and drones promise even more efficiency in spraying, scouting, and monitoring. Boyer agreed, noting the potential for oversaturation but affirming automation's inevitability in agriculture. Immigration Reform and the Dignity Act Immigration remains a central concern. Papagni highlighted the efforts of Manuel Cunha, president of the Nisei Farmers League, to advance HR 4393, the Dignity Act. The bill offers pathways for long-term farmworkers who have contributed to U.S. communities, while tightening border security, mandating E-verify, and reforming asylum procedures. Papagni broke the immigration issue into three groups: Long-term workers who deserve legal protections. New entrants who must undergo background checks and proper vetting. Criminal entrants who bypass the system entirely and must be removed. Coyotes and cartels, he warned, exploit migrants with exorbitant fees and violent threats, making reform urgent. Political Courage and the Road Ahead Boyer added that fear extends even to legal workers, underscoring the need for reform. Papagni lamented that many politicians delay action, waiting to see what the Trump administration does instead of leading decisively. Representative Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida has emerged as a key sponsor of the Dignity Act, but broader bipartisan support is still needed. Conclusion California agriculture sits at a crossroads. Wildfires, water shortages, shrinking farms, international competition, and a broken immigration system are reshaping the industry. Yet hope remains in innovation, community engagement, and legislative reforms like the Dignity Act. As Papagni and Boyer closed the program, they reminded listeners that farming is not just an industry—it is the backbone of California's communities, economy, and food security.

A new episode of the Center for Immigration Studies podcast features Director of Litigation Julie Axelrod discussing the current status of the Center's landmark National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) lawsuit, a new CIS case filed in Texas, and the recent “Alligator Alcatraz” litigation.Axelrod explains how the Trump administration is handling the remedy phase of Massachusetts Coalition for Immigration Reform v. Department of Homeland Security, where CIS successfully argued that the Biden administration violated NEPA when it dismantled border controls allowing in millions of people without doing any environmental impact analysis. NEPA, enacted in 1970, was intended to address environmental impacts of population growth – yet it has rarely been applied to immigration, despite its obvious relevance.Axelrod argues that applying NEPA consistently would protect the environment, provide transparency, and serve as an insurance policy to prevent future administrations from bypassing environmental review when expanding immigration.Highlights from the discussion with the Center's Executive Director Mark Krikorian include:CIS's Successful Lawsuit: The court found that the Biden administration had violated NEPA. The remedy phase could force DHS to conduct the environmental analysis that should have preceded both the Biden DHS's termination of the “Remain in Mexico” policy and halt in construction of the border wall, and/or could ensure that if a future administration repeats such actions, it would have to do environmental analysis, providing transparency and an opportunity for public input.Trump Administration on the Remedy: The Trump administration's immigration agenda, which largely focuses on reduction, not expansion, of immigration, would not be blocked if the administration were to embrace the idea that increases in immigration should be analyzed under NEPA prior to implementation. Such an embrace would also serve to make the Trump immigration agenda harder for a future administration to undo, as the Biden administration did to the first Trump administration's policies. Furthermore, as the Alligator Alcatraz case shows, whether the Trump administration embraces NEPA for immigration expansion or not, open-borders groups will continue challenging enforcement actions in court under NEPA.New Texas Lawsuit: A coalition of Texas plaintiffs seeks to apply NEPA to Biden-era policies, including the end of “Remain in Mexico,” expansive asylum rules, regulatory expansions to our work programs, and taxpayer-funded NGO programs.Alligator Alcatraz Case: Anti-enforcement groups are trying to use NEPA to block expansion of the Florida detention facility, highlighting a double standard – enforcement actions designed to reduce illegal immigration trigger environmental analysis, but policies that increase immigration do not (yet).Host Mark Krikorian is the Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies.GuestJulie Axelrod is the Director of Litigation at the Center for Immigration Studies.RelatedCIS Prevails in Challenge to Biden-Harris Immigration ActionsIntro MontageVoices in the opening montage:Sen.

Released 2024.03.01 The situation along the U.S.-Mexico border has grown increasingly challenging. Bill Canny from Migration and Refugee Services and David Cronin from Catholic Relief Services talk with Catholic Current about the Catholic ministries serving migrants and the need for comprehensive immigration reform in the United States.

Decades of failed immigration reform and political half-measures have left millions of immigrants in the U.S. without a path to legal status. Instead, families are being torn apart by harsh deportation policies, asylum seekers are forced into the shadows, and U.S. citizen children live in daily fear of losing their parents. In this episode, I speak with Jessica Orozco Guttlein, Senior Vice President for Policy and Communications at the Hispanic Federation, about how we got here—and what it will take to repair the damage. We examine the legacy of the 1986 immigration reform, the repeated failure to pass the DREAM Act, and how policies like the Laken Riley Act deepen racial profiling and destabilize communities. Jessica also sheds light on the resilience of mixed-status families, the role of industries that quietly depend on immigrant labor, and why restoring due process must be central to any meaningful reform. Together, we consider how piecemeal solutions—like securing citizenship pathways for Dreamers—can begin to rebuild trust, reunite families, and prevent history from repeating itself. (00:00) Broken Immigration System and Political Stalemate Inadequate immigration policies and deportation destabilize families and communities, highlighting the need for comprehensive reform and recognition of immigrant contributions. (13:29) Challenges in US Asylum Policy The U.S. asylum system faces challenges due to policy changes, lack of resources, and removal of protections for immigrants. (24:31) Impact of Immigration Policies on Communities Immigrants in the US face fear and uncertainty due to increased enforcement policies, affecting sectors like hospitality and healthcare. (32:01) Restoring Due Process in Immigration The Laken Riley Act grants local police immigration authority, impacting mixed-status families and emphasizing the need for legislative action and due process restoration. (36:08) Immigration Backlog and Justice System The recent tax and spending bill highlights concerns about immigration enforcement priorities and the need for fair reforms.

Since taking office for a second term, illegal border crossings have dropped to record lows under President Donald Trump. However, his mass deportation policies are facing criticism, as detractors argue that his administration is not solely targeting illegal immigrants with criminal records, and the crackdown could adversely affect industries that rely on migrant workers. In response, there is a bipartisan push to allow certain illegal immigrants who have lived and worked in the country since before 2021 to remain in the country. Florida Republican Congresswoman Maria Salazar spearheaded the Dignity Act and joins the Rundown to discuss her efforts. For decades, we've seen headlines about honeybee colony collapses plaguing beekeepers. Now the headlines are back, as honeybees are dying in record numbers. With more than a third of our food crops dependent on these vital pollinators, there is concern that these collapses could have wide-sweeping financial impacts for Americans. Ryan Burris, president of the California State Beekeepers Association and a third-generation beekeeper, joins the podcast to explain why so many bees are dying and why he is advocating for stronger government support in providing farmers with the tools to fight evolving threats to the nation's food system.

Why did Joe Biden let 10-12 million illegal aliens into the U.S.?   The Good News:   We've gone from over 120,000 people a month coming across the border illegally in April 2024 to fewer than 10,000 in April 2025.    The Bad News:   The Left operates under a simple principle: “It is lawful to be unlawful if you're Joe Biden—according to the courts—but it is unlawful to be lawful if you're Donald Trump. And the result is that we've got these 10 to 12 million people. Are we going to have an immigration hearing for each one of them? Or are we just going to pick people?”
