Representatives Veronica Escobar, Maria Elvira Salazar

Two members of Congress, Texas Democrat Veronica Escobar and Florida Republican Maria Elvira Salazar, are making a renewed push for immigration reform with a revised version of the Dignity Act. The bill aims to address long-standing problems in the U.S. immigration system by offering a balanced solution that includes both stronger border enforcement and a legal status option for certain undocumented immigrants.

Salazar argues that the country has ignored immigration problems for decades, allowing millions to live in the U.S. without documentation while contributing to key industries. The Dignity Act, she says, would not offer citizenship but would allow undocumented immigrants to earn legal status if they work, pay taxes, and avoid criminal activity. Those who qualify would pay a $5,000 fine and receive a seven-year provisional legal status, allowing them to remain in the country legally.

Escobar emphasized that immigrants, many of whom have lived in the U.S. for years, play vital roles in American communities and the economy. She called for bipartisan cooperation to create a fair and practical immigration system. The bill also proposes increasing work visas, expanding the use of the E-Verify system for employment checks, and enhancing border security through technology and staffing.

Though introduced in 2023, the Dignity Act never reached a vote in the House. The current version has 18 Democratic and Republican cosponsors and is gaining attention amid changing views on immigration, especially among independent voters. Supporters believe now is the time for action, as illegal border crossings are reportedly at historic lows.

Religious groups, including a coalition of evangelical leaders, have also voiced support. They say the bill promotes accountability, fairness, and respect for both law and human dignity. Many believe the fines collected from immigrants could be used to fund future border security measures.

Meanwhile, immigration experts and advocacy groups argue that the U.S. system is broken. Long waits, outdated rules, and inconsistent enforcement have made it difficult to process asylum claims or welcome legal immigrants. Groups like FWD.us and the Center for American Progress back reforms that would modernize the asylum process, expand legal immigration paths, and offer a route to citizenship for long-term residents.

They also call for better technology and staffing at border crossings, faster case processing, and stronger partnerships with other countries to reduce illegal migration. The asylum system, they say, should be quicker and fairer, protecting those fleeing real danger while preventing abuse of the process.

Modernizing legal immigration would help fill labor shortages and support U.S. economic growth. Proposals include more visas for skilled workers, caregivers, and STEM graduates, as well as fairer family reunification policies. Immigration reform, supporters argue, is essential to meet today’s economic needs, uphold American values, and build a system that works for everyone.

Matamoros, Tamaulipas – The Matamoros Municipal Government, headed by Mayor Beto Granados, issued an important awareness message to the population to protect pets during this intense hot season. With the arrival of the dog days, the risks for animals intensify, as they also suffer the effects of high temperatures.

The municipal government urges citizens to keep their pets in shaded areas with constant access to fresh water and avoid exposing them to the sun for prolonged periods. These simple actions can make a big difference in the well-being of animals. "Their well-being is also your responsibility," emphasized the message addressed to the people of Matamoros.

During this critical season, the call is to take special care of those who cannot ask for help. The municipal government thus reinforces its commitment to animal welfare, as part of a sensitive and responsive management approach to the needs of the community. Matamoros is moving forward not only with public works but also with actions that promote respect and empathy for all living beings.

With these types of initiatives, the City Council seeks to foster a culture of responsibility and animal protection. Raising awareness is key to building a more humane and supportive city, where caring for all is a priority shared by society and the government.

Big River Steel, SpaceX

In places like Cameron County, Texas, and Mississippi County, Arkansas, massive economic investments from companies like SpaceX and Big River Steel have transformed local economies on paper. Billions of dollars have poured into these historically impoverished regions, creating high-paying jobs, driving infrastructure development, and drawing national headlines. Yet behind the progress lies a harder truth, poverty remains stubbornly high, and many longtime residents feel left behind.

In Brownsville, SpaceX has brought thousands of jobs and billions in economic activity. Its Starbase facility has turned the area into a hotspot for tourism and space innovation. High-income households are on the rise, and local businesses have seen increased spending, with SpaceX alone spending over $90 million on goods and services in the area since early 2023.

But the benefits are not reaching everyone. Nearly one in four Brownsville residents still lives in poverty. Housing prices have surged, making it harder for lower-income families to stay in their communities. Beach access, once a given for locals, is now restricted during rocket launches. Environmental concerns and fears over the impact on sacred sites have also grown. Many of the new jobs require skills that the existing workforce doesn’t yet have.

A similar story is playing out in Mississippi County, Arkansas. Once devastated by the loss of low-skill manufacturing jobs, the county has seen a dramatic turnaround, led by economic developer Joe Max Higgins. His strategy brought in more than $6 billion in investments and 6,000 high-paying, high-skill jobs. Steel mills and high-tech factories now dominate the skyline.

Yet more than 20% of the county’s residents still live in poverty. Rent prices have soared, and many of the workers fueling the industrial boom live outside the county, contributing little to the local economy. While the unemployment rate has dropped, many local residents still struggle to access the new economy. Training programs have helped, but not fast enough to meet the qualifications demanded by the advanced industries moving in.

Efforts like incentive programs to get workers to live where they work, and donations to schools and services, show some companies are aware of the issue. But local leaders and economists warn that without deeper investments in people—affordable housing, accessible education, healthcare, and infrastructure—the benefits of these booms will remain uneven.

The stories of Brownsville, Cameron County and Mississippi County, Arkansas are a cautionary tale: economic development does not automatically mean shared prosperity. When new wealth bypasses the communities it was meant to uplift, it deepens the very inequalities it promised to erase. Gentrification replaces community roots, and hope becomes frustration.

The lesson for any city courting big investment is clear. Bringing in industry is only half the job. The harder half is making sure everyone has a chance to share in the future being built.

"For ye have the poor always."  Saint Matthew, Chapter 26, Verse 11, King James Version

Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila — A team of volunteer firefighters and rescue personnel from Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, who traveled to Kerr County, Texas, to assist with search and rescue operations following severe flooding in early July 2025, have returned home after being informed their help was no longer needed.

More than two dozen rescuers from Ciudad Acuña’s Civil Protection and Fire Department and the nonprofit Fundación 911 responded to a call for help from Texas EquuSearch, a U.S.-based search and rescue organization. Their deployment was not coordinated by the Mexican federal government but was made independently at the local level. The team worked alongside American first responders to search for victims along the flooded Guadalupe River.

Their efforts were widely praised, including by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who publicly recognized their work during a news conference on July 7. However, contrary to some claims, Sheinbaum did not order or coordinate the deployment of the rescue teams. The federal government's involvement was limited to providing consular support for Mexican citizens affected by the flooding.

According to reports from CBS News, Times Union, and Yahoo News, the Mexican teams were told on a Friday, about a week after arriving, that their services were no longer required. They packed up and returned to Mexico the following day.

Despite their departure, five members of a separate Mexican rescue group, Los Topos, stayed behind and were seeking permission to continue recovery efforts in areas that had yet to be searched.

The firefighters' initial departure from Ciudad Acuña was publicly announced on July 6 via a Facebook post from the local fire department, which stated that the team had responded to a direct request for assistance from Texas EquuSearch.

The situation highlights both the spirit of international cooperation in times of crisis and the complexities surrounding volunteer deployments across borders. While their work in Texas has concluded, the efforts of the Ciudad Acuña rescuers were an example of swift humanitarian action from a local community in response to disaster.

Matamoros, Tamaulipas — Global auto parts manufacturer Inteva Products is investing $8.8 million (150 million pesos) to expand its operations in Matamoros. The expansion will create 500 direct jobs and further establish the city’s importance in the international automotive supply chain.

The announcement was made at an event attended by business and government leaders, including Tamaulipas Secretary of Economic Development Ninfa Cantú Deándar, Matamoros Mayor Alberto Granados, National Auto Parts Industry (INA) President Francisco González Díaz, and Inteva’s Director of Operations, Armando Botti.

Officials highlighted the investment’s potential to boost the local economy, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors. Secretary Cantú Deándar noted that the project reflects Inteva’s commitment to the region and points to the state’s ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure, security, and investor confidence.

Mayor Granados described the expansion as a sign of the city’s economic strength and a positive result of government-industry cooperation. Inteva’s growing presence in Matamoros supports broader efforts to strengthen Tamaulipas’ automotive industry, a vital contributor to the state's economy.

The company, which produces vehicle interior systems, door modules, roof systems, and electronics, has operated in Matamoros since 2008. Its global footprint spans the Americas, Europe, and Asia. According to Botti, the expansion will help consolidate Inteva’s role as a global supplier and deepen its connection to the Matamoros community.

INA President González Díaz emphasized northern Mexico’s increasing importance in the auto parts sector, calling Matamoros a prime example of regional industrial growth.

The state government is also advancing plans to develop an automotive cluster in Tamaulipas to connect businesses, educational institutions, and public agencies in a coordinated push for innovation, supply chain integration, and competitiveness.

Inteva’s investment supports this broader vision and marks a significant step toward long-term industrial growth and job creation in the region. With its favorable location, skilled labor force, and expanding industrial capacity, Matamoros is emerging as a key player in Mexico’s manufacturing future.

OK, boys and girls, here's my feeble attempt to present a succinct, factual summary of what Trump has or has not accomplished with his tariff program:

Initially, the Trump administration announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs, with a stated goal of reaching 90 trade deals in that timeframe. 

This pause began on April 9, 2025, and was set to expire on July 9, 2025. 

However, the administration only secured a few agreements by the deadline, including framework deals with China and the United Kingdom, and a trade agreement with Vietnam. As a result, the Trump administration extended the deadline for negotiations to August 1, 2025. 

Now, President Trump has announced that the U.S. will impose 30% tariffs on imports from Mexico and European Union countries starting August 1, citing border security and trade imbalances. This move expands the administration’s ongoing tariff campaign, which has rattled global markets and drawn sharp responses from key trading partners.

In separate letters shared on Truth Social, Trump informed Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen of the new tariffs. Trump justified the decision on Mexico by pointing to ongoing fentanyl trafficking across the southern border. Although Mexico had previously received a partial exemption under the 2020 United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) trade agreement that replaced NAFTA, it’s unclear whether that exemption will continue.

“Mexico has helped, but it’s not enough,” Trump wrote.

The letter to von der Leyen accused the EU of unfair trade practices, arguing that persistent trade deficits required action. “We must move away from these long-term, large deficits caused by your tariffs and trade barriers,” he said.

According to U.S. Census Bureau data, Mexico remains the top U.S. trading partner this year, with major EU economies like Germany, France, Italy, and the Netherlands also ranking among the top 15.

The 30% tariffs are part of a broader wave of trade measures. Trump has notified more than a dozen countries of new tariffs set to begin August 1, following a 90-day negotiation pause introduced in April. So far, only the U.K. has reached a formal agreement with the U.S., with frameworks also announced with China and Vietnam.

J.P. Morgan analysts warn the accelerating tariff rollout may hamper growth and fuel inflation in the second half of 2025. Chief U.S. economist Michael Feroli expects the average effective U.S. tariff rate to settle between 15–18%, assuming no major rollbacks or extensions. He also noted that extensions remain a possibility if more countries strike deals before the deadline.

Among other trade actions:

Copper Tariffs: Trump has proposed a 50% tariff on copper imports, sending prices surging. Analysts expect volatility in the coming months.

Vietnam Deal: A U.S.–Vietnam agreement will raise the average tariff on Vietnamese exports to 20%, up from 3.3%, though lower than the 46% initially proposed.

Aluminum Tariffs: A surprise jump to 50% tariffs on aluminum imports has paralyzed the U.S. Midwest premium market, prompting speculation about potential exemptions.

Legal Challenges: A recent court ruling deemed tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act unlawful. If upheld, this could significantly reduce overall tariff levels, though alternative pathways remain open for new duties.

China Reprieve: A temporary U.S.–China deal reduced some tariffs for 90 days, prompting a brief market rally and raising hopes for a broader agreement.

While the administration insists these moves are necessary to protect American industry and national security, they’ve already disrupted global supply chains and complicated trade relations. Analysts say uncertainty around exemptions and enforcement may further weigh on investment and consumer prices in the coming quarters.

Devout Christians Ken and Angela Paxton

Texas State Senator Angela Paxton has filed for divorce from her husband of nearly four decades, Attorney General Ken Paxton, citing "biblical grounds," specifically sexual immorality, as the basis for her decision. The divorce petition accuses Ken Paxton of adultery and confirms the couple has lived separately since June 2024.

Angela Paxton’s filing marks a sharp shift from her long-standing public loyalty to her husband, who has faced multiple political and legal controversies, including a 2023 impeachment trial in the Texas Senate. Central to that trial were allegations that he had an extramarital affair with a former Senate aide, a claim supported by investigators but never confirmed by testimony.

While divorce is generally discouraged in many Christian traditions, the New Testament offers a specific exception in cases of porneia, a Greek term that broadly refers to sexual misconduct. Often translated as “sexual immorality,” it encompasses adultery, prostitution, and other behaviors viewed as morally impure. For many conservative Christians, porneia is the only scriptural justification for divorce, which gives Angela Paxton’s claim significant weight in her political and religious circles.

Though Angela previously stood by her husband during his impeachment and frequently quoted scripture in his defense, she now says she can no longer remain in the marriage "in good conscience." Her decision appears not only personal but also deeply informed by her faith and may carry political consequences.

Ken Paxton responded with a statement blaming the split on “political pressure and public scrutiny,” framing the divorce as a mutual choice. Notably, he avoided addressing the infidelity claim or his wife's religious justification.

The timing is politically sensitive. Paxton is preparing to challenge U.S. Senator John Cornyn in the 2026 Republican primary. Despite past scandals, including a long-delayed securities fraud case recently dropped, he’s maintained strong support from the Texas GOP base and former President Donald Trump.

Angela Paxton, a Texas senator since 2019, represents the same district Ken once held. Their image as a united Christian conservative couple has helped fuel their political rise. That image now appears fractured, with her public invocation of porneia highlighting a serious moral breach in a state where evangelical values heavily influence elections.

The divorce adds complexity to Ken Paxton’s already troubled campaign. In a political climate where personal faith is often tied to public trust, the charge of biblical wrongdoing could resonate deeply, both in the eyes of voters and among Texas power brokers.

Medicine Hat, Alberta

Certainly, Donald Trump has made many of us living in America anxious, unsettled, unsure about the future and I'm not just speaking about migrants.  Even for those of us who've never had our citizenship questioned, this country just doesn't feel the same with the phrase "liberty and justice for all" having definitely lost meaning.  That deterioration of democratic principles has made me think more and more about my own personal safety net, the fact that through my mother's birth in Medicine Hat, Alberta, I qualify for Canadian citizenship.  I only have to move there.  Of course, at age 77, it's a bit late in life for me to change countries.

As the political climate in the U.S. grows more uncertain, many Americans are exploring their options, including the possibility of Canadian citizenship. For some, this isn’t just a dream, it’s already a legal reality.

Thanks to changes made to Canada’s Citizenship Act in 2009 and 2015, many people born outside of Canada to a Canadian parent are automatically considered Canadian citizens by descent, even if they’ve never lived in Canada or held a Canadian passport. That means if your mother or father was born in Canada, you’re likely already a Canadian citizen. This applies even if your Canadian parent left the country as a child, married someone from another country, or became a citizen elsewhere.

But to officially claim those rights, including living or working in Canada, getting a Canadian passport, or accessing public healthcare and education, you must apply for a Certificate of Canadian Citizenship through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). If one of your parents was born or naturalized in Canada before you were born, you’re generally eligible. You’ll need your parent’s Canadian birth certificate or naturalization record, plus your own proof of identity and proof of relationship. You can apply from outside Canada, there’s no need to move unless you plan to sponsor family members for Canadian permanent residency.

Under current law, Canadian citizenship by descent is typically limited to the first generation born abroad. That means your children likely won’t inherit citizenship if they were born outside Canada. However, this could change soon. New legislation recently introduced in Canada’s parliament aims to extend citizenship to second-generation (and even later-generation) Canadians born abroad. While this law is still under review, the government has introduced an Interim Measure, allowing second-generation individuals to apply now for citizenship by grant.

If you’re a Canadian citizen, you can sponsor your children under age 22 for permanent residency, as well as your spouse or common-law partner, regardless of age. The sponsorship process usually takes six to twelve months, and you’ll need to move to Canada once your family’s visas are approved. Importantly, becoming a Canadian citizen does not affect your U.S. citizenship. Canada permits dual citizenship, and there are no tax or legal complications for Americans who obtain Canadian citizenship.

Immigration lawyers in both Canada and the U.S. can help guide you through the application process, even if your Canadian parent is deceased or you’re missing key documents. Many have successfully helped clients obtain their Certificate of Citizenship and even track down missing Canadian birth records.

With Canadian citizenship rules potentially expanding, now is a smart time to check your eligibility, especially if a parent or even grandparent was born in Canada. If you're feeling uneasy in today’s America and looking for a safety net, Canada might already be part of your story. All it takes is one Canadian-born parent, and a little paperwork to unlock a new set of rights and opportunities across the northern border.

A large-scale search is underway near the LNG site in the Port of Brownsville after a boat captain went missing in the water. The U.S. Coast Guard and the Brownsville Fire Department are leading the rescue efforts, working through difficult conditions in hopes of locating the missing man.

The missing individual has been identified as Eduardo Perez, the captain of the vessel involved in the incident. He was last seen wearing black shorts and a blue shirt.

Rescue crews have been scouring the area both on the surface and below, diving to depths of over 40 feet despite poor visibility and numerous underwater obstacles. The Brownsville Fire Department has deployed its dive team and swift water rescue team to assist, while the Coast Guard is using both boats and helicopters to expand the search.

Officials say the conditions are challenging but remain committed to continuing the operation until Perez is found.
