New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio declared Tuesday that his deputies will block U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from entering New York City public schools — even though agency officials say they are not pursuing illegal immigrants in schools.

“We will not allow ICE agents to threaten that protection, disrupt classes or take any action that would be detrimental to our students,” de Blasio said at a press conference held outside New York’s Tweed Courthouse Tuesday afternoon. “With these updated guidelines, we are reinforcing the fact that a school is a safe and protected location,” he said, adding that his promise would not apply if ICE got a court order.    Continue reading “Mayor de Blasio to Block ICE Officers from Entering City Schools”

A 14-year-old girl in Maryland was dragged into a men’s room at her school by two older illegal alien classmates who proceeded to rape and sodomize her.

The two suspects were 17 and 18 years old. Despite that, they were in the same ninth grade class as their victim, leading to questions about the wisdom of placing nearly illiterate, non-English speaking illegal immigrants in classes attended by younger American children.   Continue reading “Maryland Girl, 14, Raped by Older Illegal Aliens at School”

In a nutshell, this means both domestic and foreign firms alike will be subject to a tax on all sales made within the United States, while US exports are exempted.   Continue reading “The Border Adjustment Tax: Why This Trillion Dollar BAT Shouldn’t Fly”

One woman has been left completely blind and two others partially lost their sight after stem cells were injected into their eyeballs as part of a clinical trial. The experimental treatment was not approved by the Federal Drug Administration.

The women paid $5,000 each to correct their eyesight after beginning to experience vision loss, but the true cost of the procedure — age-related macular degeneration — was much more costly. After stem cells were injected into their eyes, the cells began to grow into their retinas and caused them to detach from the eyeball.   Continue reading “‘We decided not to go forward with additional patients’: Stem cell clinic blinds 3 women”
