Now on the fourth immigration question, accounting for all those posed so far. Guess the YouTube questioners are really, really concerned about the Mexicans. Now it's on Huckabee allowing the children of undocumented immigrants to attend college at in-state tuition rates."If I didn't get an education, I might be picking lettuce," said Huckabee. "We're a better country than to punish children for what their parents did."
Romney says he respects those who have to pull themselves up by their bootstraps (which is funny ... since he definitely never had to do that), but doesn't think the children of immigrants should get any support in that from the state.
I’m writing to you today with a sense of urgency that I haven’t felt since I began my journalism career. As executive editor of The American Prospect, I’ve witnessed firsthand how independent journalism serves as a crucial bulwark against the erosion of our democratic institutions. Today, that role is more vital than ever. Can you step up today and show your support?
The winds of authoritarianism are blowing stronger. We’re seeing alarming signs of a coordinated effort to silence critical voices and undermine the very foundations that support progressive causes. As Bob Kuttner presciently wrote in our August 2024 issue, a weaponized IRS could attack the very foundations of the progressive movement. We need readers to step up and help us dig in for the long haul.
We’re falling behind in our spring fundraising campaign, and with so much at stake we can’t afford to come up short. If you value fearless, independent journalism that holds the powerful accountable and defends democracy, now is the time to step up. The American Prospect depends on reader support to stay in the fight. Pitch in today and help us close the gap. Please consider making a donation today.
