In a move that has stirred the political pot, Mississippi’s Secretary of State, Michael Watson, is challenging President Biden’s Executive Order No. 14019, claiming it attempts to register ineligible convicts and illegal immigrants to vote. Watson argues this executive order blurs the lines between law enforcement and voter registration, sparking concerns over federal intrusion into state affairs.
Adding to the mix, NYC Mayor Eric Adams is facing scrutiny for his administration’s approach to housing migrants. Faith leaders have been enlisted to open their doors, with financial incentives reaching thousands of dollars per day. The fifth shelter, set up at the Rabbinical Seminary of America Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim, adds a new dimension to the ongoing debate about managing the migrant crisis.
As Adams aims to alleviate the burden of housing nearly 65,000 migrants, the financial strategy of utilizing faith-based shelters is raising eyebrows. With the crisis projected to cost around $10 billion, City Hall defends the move, arguing it’s a more cost-effective alternative to current emergency contracts.
