  The legal fight over whether Texas can seize control of the border, explained
Posted by: superadmin - 01-28-2024, 01:33 PM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

Last Monday, the Supreme Court made its first foray into a longstanding conflict over who is in charge of the United States-Mexico border: the United States government or Texas’s Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.

In a 5–4 decision, the Court temporarily permitted federal officials to cut razor wire barriers set up by the Texas government, which had prevented US Border Patrol agents from entering an area where immigrants sometimes cross into the United States. This decision, moreover, came in one of several disputes between Texas and the United States over border policy — with many GOP-led states now backing Abbott.

Under existing law, it is well established that the federal government is in charge of nearly all questions of immigration policy and may override state immigration policies that conflict with its goals. As the Supreme Court said in Arizona v. United States (2012), “t is fundamental that foreign countries concerned about the status, safety, and security of their nationals in the United States must be able to confer and communicate on this subject with one national sovereign, not the 50 separate States.”

But it is unclear whether the current Supreme Court, with its 6–3 Republican supermajority, will honor this longstanding balance of power between the national government and the states, which has been in place at least as far back as the Court’s 1941 decision in [i]Hines v. Davidowitz
.

Though the Court’s Monday order in Department of Homeland Security v. Texas was a victory for the Biden administration, it was also an ominous sign that many of the justices are eager to shift power away from the federal government — and toward state officials like Abbott, who are eager to impose more draconian enforcement policies.

The case involved an extraordinary attack on the federal government’s primacy over immigration. Texas erected razor wire barriers along a river in Eagle Pass, Texas, that physically prevented federal Border Patrol agents from entering the area, processing migrants in those areas, or providing assistance to drowning victims. According to the DOJ, the Border Patrol was unable to aid an “unconscious subject floating on top of the water” because of these barriers.

  PM Anwar's Madani framework will make Malaysia more resilient

PM Anwar's Madani framework will make Malaysia more resilient with strong fiscal position - economists
[Image: MALAYSIA_MADANI_RGB_UNTUK_TUJUAN_DIGITAL.png]
THE Madani framework embarked by the government would enable Malaysia to become more resilient, competitive and agile in a few years to come, with strong fiscal position that would enable the government to have the financial muscle to devise development programmes more effectively, economists said.

Under the framework mooted by Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the government will focus on the problem-solving process and values to build good morals in building a better society through six pillars, namely sustainability, prosperity, innovation, respect, trust and compassion.

In line with the focus, Bank Muamalat Malaysia Bhd chief economist Dr Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid believed that transparency and fairness in government dealings would create trust and confidence in the rakyat.

“The Madani concept has set the stage for economic reforms. Since it was launched, there have been several policy announcements such as the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), New Industrial Master Plan (NIMP) 2030, Mid-Term Review of the 12th Malaysia Plan (MTR 12MP) and Budget 2024.

  Rash RM5mil reward, unworthy heroes’ welcome for Harimau Malaya
Posted by: superadmin - 01-27-2024, 01:23 PM - Forum: Football - No Replies

Absurdly, the national football squad received a heroes’ welcome yesterday despite their early exit from the Asian Cup in Qatar.

It was the first time the red carpet was rolled out for sporting failures in the country.

Youth and sports minister Hannah Yeoh led the circus with puppy-dog excitement, and congratulated the players, coaches and officials at KLIA.

Hours before the farce, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced a questionable RM5 million allocation to develop the national football team.

  Mahathir’s Estimated Net Worth – The $40 Billion Reason Why He Spews Racist Remarks
Posted by: superadmin - 01-24-2024, 10:35 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies

[Image: Mahathir-Mohamad-Solemn-Sad-Facial-Expression.jpg]

Mahathir Mohamad has run out of bullet to save his mega-rich children, whose dubious fortune were made during the former prime minister’s 22 years of dictatorship (1981-2003). In fact, the 98-year-old corrupt man could no longer pull a rabbit out of his hat. He is done, finished, game over. He’s living on borrowed time because the God wanted him to see how his dynasty is being destroyed.

Forget what he had said in multiple interviews that he “didn’t care” how his legacy would be remembered. The dictator was a master in reverse psychology, infamous for saying the opposite in his sarcastic trademark. He cares very much how people will remember his legacy, otherwise he would have retired peacefully in 2003, the same way his successor Abdullah Badawi did in 2009.
 
Heck, not only his entire 22 years of hard work in enriching his children will go to the dogs, he would turn in his grave when people keep insulting him as the son of Iskandar “Kutty”. If there’s one thing he can’t erase, it’s the fact that he isn’t pure Malay, but a corrupt “Mamak”. Out of embarrassment, the only thing he can say is that there were only spoonfuls of Indian blood in him.

  PM Anwar seeks people's backing in efforts to uphold good governance, fight graft
Posted by: superadmin - 01-23-2024, 10:01 AM - Forum: Stop Corruptions - No Replies

[Image: 28112020-KUL-anwar_ibrahim_1-SAIRIEN.jpg]


PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim wants the people to continue to support the government’s efforts to bring about changes in governance and its war against corruption. 

Anwar said he needs the full support of the people to combat these issues, especially since he is aware that the efforts taken are disliked by certain quarters.

He said some quarters, when talking about the theft of tens of billions of ringgit, believe that those with high positions such as a prime minister, finance minister and minister must commensurate with great wealth.

“(They say) why become a prime minister if you don't become wealthy?”

“This tasteless, rubbish view must be opposed and the responsible ones must not only consist of politicians (but those from) the entire system. All of us must shoulder that responsibility, and that includes me.
