THE WHITE HOUSE's latest news

The White House • May 9, 2019 Border Patrol chief: Our national security is at risk If there was ever a moment for a sense of urgency from Washington about America’s border crisis, that time is now. “As of Sunday, only seven months into the year, we have now surpassed the total southwest border apprehensions of every fiscal year since 2009,” U.S. Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost told members of a U.S. Senate Judiciary subcommittee yesterday.   🎬 Watch: Border Patrol chief explains our immigration crisis in 6 minutes   Because of dangerous loopholes in American immigration laws, today “family units” and unaccompanied children account for 64 percent of all apprehensions at the southern border. Illegal immigrants and human smugglers “have received the message loud and clear,” Provost says. “Bring a child—you will be released.” That policy creates an unmitigated humanitarian and security disaster. One problem is that illegal immigration is dangerous and often relies on criminal smugglers to breach the border. Bringing young children along in that journey puts them at grave risk. An even more pressing danger comes from “fake families”—a growing phenomenon where children are unwillingly paired with nonparent adults to game U.S. asylum laws. Once entry is granted, those children become expendable, sometimes being appallingly “recycled” back across the border for use by another asylum-seeker. Congress needs to take action—and that doesn’t simply mean building more temporary facilities, Provost said. “It’s like holding a bucket under a faucet. It doesn't matter how many buckets you give me if we can't turn off the flow.” President Trump is calling on Congress to respond to this humanitarian crisis.

The Red Sox have been one of America’s most storied franchises. In 2004, they captivated the Nation by rallying for the biggest playoff comeback in baseball history, defeating the New York Yankees in the American League Championship Series. A near-century long championship drought ended as they went on to win the title that year. And in 2013, the Red Sox brought unity and joy to a Boston community still healing after the tragic events of the Boston Marathon bombing that April, winning the organization’s eighth championship that fall.

COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION-EUROGROUP: news

PRESS

European Council     8/5/2019  Remarks by President Donald Tusk after his meeting with Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš Good morning. Thank you, Prime Minister, for your hospitality and our good meeting ahead of the Sibiu summit where we will discuss the EU's future priorities and challenges. It is good to be back in Prague - the city is as beautiful as ever. I haven’t told you this yet, dear Andrej,  but me and my wife spent our honeymoon here in Prague, forty years ago. It was two crazy weeks of camping in Strahov. Coming here as we celebrate the Victory Day in Europe is symbolic and emotional for me as a European and a Pole. The same is true for the 15th anniversary of the enlargement of the EU. It is impossible for me not to think back and recall the journey we have all travelled - and not to think of our future. Czechs thinkers and civic or moral leaders have always been a source of inspiration to us in Poland and to the rest of Europe. When Milan Kundera wrote his influential political essay, A Kidnapped West,  one of the most insightful and revealing texts about Central Europe, he touched the conscience of audiences across Europe's divides. And when your president and my good colleague Vaclav Havel said that in Europe freedom and responsibility are two sides of the same coin, he nailed exactly what it means to be European. Let us remember and celebrate those visionary voices that have drawn on Europe's best traditions and have further shaped them. Czechs have always  rejected the inauthentic and refused to follow doctrines or dogmas blindly. They have always shown self-distance, a wise sense of humour, and a little bit of scepticism. My message to you is: don’t  change.  Such an approach is perhaps the best response to populism and radicalism emerging in Europe. Especially when this approach combines with the motto from your presidential banner: “truth prevails.”

The Government of Canada partners with municipalities to build better lives for Canadians

May 10, 2019
Edmonton, Alberta

Whether getting busy parents home sooner, building recreation centres for young people, or helping communities adapt to climate change, investments in local infrastructure create good, middle class jobs and make our cities and towns better places to live.

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today visited Edmonton, Alberta, to highlight a one-time Municipal Infrastructure Top-Up in Budget 2019. The Top-Up will double this year’s federal transfer to municipalities in support of local infrastructure priorities. In 2018, Edmonton received over $51 million in federal funding for local infrastructure priorities. With the Top-Up this year, this funding is expected to increase to over $102 million.

Edmonton is currently putting federal funding toward important projects, including building the Edmonton Downtown Community Arena and replacing its bus fleet with low emission vehicles. New funding from the Top-Up will allow the city to advance these and other key priorities, which could include expanding recreational facilities, upgrading transportation routes, and improving water and wastewater systems.

By working more closely with municipalities, the Government of Canada is providing communities across the country with the tools they need to complete important infrastructure projects and make everyday life easier and more affordable for the middle class and people working hard to join it.

NAI, χαιρόμαστε που κέρδισε ο σύντροφος Σάντσεθ και το PSOE

Τα μηνύματα από την κάλπη των ισπανικών εκλογών είναι πολλά και ενδιαφέροντα. Το πρώτο είναι πως το Σοσιαλιστικό Κόμμα κατέφερε να επικρατήσει, μέσα σε ένα ιδιαίτερα πολωμένο πολιτικά κλίμα. Απέφυγε την «πασοκοποίηση», κυρίως επειδή έγκαιρα ο Σάντσεθ απεγκλωβίστηκε από τις ακραίες πολιτικές λιτότητας και επέλεξε να συμμαχήσει με τους Podemos (όντας Πρωθυπουργός μειοψηφίας), διαμορφώνοντας τις συνθήκες για μια προοδευτική συμμαχία Σοσιαλιστών – Αριστεράς.
