Links for 07/13/17: In the Las Cruces Sun-News, the story of Jorge Taborda, an immigrant grandfather who has sought refuge from immigration officials who have already deported his wife, at a Franciscan retreat center and...

MGB:_It is good that the Franciscans are granting sanctuary, but applying for asylum should happen when you enter, not when they are throwing you out. Only amnesty will help them and that won’t happen with this administration. Still, any undocumented migrant should have a fast track to a student visa and legalization if they went to an American high school (then H-1B, then a Green Card with admission of family members).

Will the optics of Trump with the Russians affect his supporters? I doubt it. If Joe McCarthy came back and held hearings on Russian sympathizers in the White House, they would not care. Then again, no one will be asking for their opinion should Muller release a report pointing the finger at Trump.

In the British system, doctors are gate keepers. They cannot unilaterally take you off life support, but they will respect your wishes rather than your family’s (including your same sex spouse). That is the case in the US. They are responsible to make sure you are not going to some quack for an alternative. In the extant case, they investigated the claims of the alternative providers and heard good things, so they are asking the courts to allow Charlie to go. Camosy and Winters, check the news and quit beating the pro-life drum on this. We are still a resurrection people who look upon death as meeting God.
