Crisis at the Border
What to know: Eagle Pass just declared a state of emergency after thousands of migrants crossed illegally from Piedras Negras to Eagle Pass.
The TPPF take: As illegal migrant crossings continue unabated, overwhelming our law enforcement resources, it’s important to remember how crucial border security is to national security.
“Texas has been at the forefront of an unprecedented border crisis that is quickly turning every state in America into a border state,” says TPPF’s Selene Rodriguez. “Criminal organizations are in the business of making money by defeating our security—and they work at it full time. The Lone Star State has been working overtime to fill in crucial gaps made by devoid and perilous federal policies.”

Poor Thing
What to know: The Chief Sustainability Officer for a finance firm says that the anti-ESG (environmental, social and governance) movement has been “quite painful.”
The TPPF take: ESG is a scam.
“I work now to expose how environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing threatens our economic prosperity and, instead of improving our environment, enables China’s abysmal human rights and environmental records,” TPPF’s Jason Isaac testified before a U.S. House committee recently. “ESG has infiltrated our economy and been weaponized against essential industries all of us rely on, including, but not limited to, fossil fuels, agriculture, and forestry.”

Missing
What to know: Mexico is suspiciously missing from the State Department’s corruption list.
The TPPF take: It’s past time to hold Mexico accountable in the fight against corruption.
“In late July, the U.S. State Department presented a report to Congress which added nearly 40 individuals from El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua, including former presidents, judges, and other public figures to this year’s list of corrupt and undemocratic actors,” says TPPF’s Melissa Ford. “Yet strangely enough, our close neighbor, Mexico—which ranks among the top five most corrupt countries globally—remains absent from this list.”
