Editorial (DIERSEN: How long have your ancestors been in America?
Ever-increasingly, Democrats hint/imply/argue/shout that if you are a
Republican, the longer that your ancestors have been in America, the more
reparations that you should pay. When did your ancestor come to America? Mine
came during the 1840s and 1850s. What were they doing in 1919? On my father’s
side, they were operating Crete’s only hardware store. On my mother’s side,
they were operating a farm in Grant Park on the Indiana border.)

— Sick, Exhausted Agents Stoke Exodus Fear Amid Migrant Surge – Michaela Ross
(DIERSEN: I was a National Treasury Employees Union member during the almost 9
years that I worked for IRS 1971-1980.)
https://about.bgov.com/news/sick-exhausted-agents-stoke-exodus-fear-amid-migrant-surge/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Job
risks include exposure to tuberculosis, flu, scabies Employee assistance
program seeks to help deal with stress Sergio Tinoco used to wear his Border
Patrol uniform home with pride. Now, after a typical 10-hour day in heat that
can exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit, he says many on his team no longer wear
their uniforms to or from the job. Tinoco, an agent of 14 years and U.S.
military veteran, said his fellow agents in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley are
repeatedly falling ill with flu. They’re also seeing scabies, tuberculosis,
chicken pox, and lice from waves of about 1,200 migrants crossing through their
facilities daily and are worried their uniforms will carry contagions. And
that’s not all, he said: Many agents are being harassed in public. “We’re
completely exhausted,” Tinoco said in an interview, not speaking in his
official capacity. “It takes a toll on the human spirit.” Long work hours and
exposure to diseases are driving agents to retire early and take sick leave,
union officials and government watchdogs say. While public outrage has focused
on the separation of families and children, overcrowding, and unsanitary
conditions, policymakers are increasingly concerned about attrition and suicide
among the agents on the front lines of the migrant surge. The border agency for
years has struggled with attrition, but this year has been one of the toughest
in the 95-year old patrol’s history. Migrant children and families crossed the
border in record numbers while agents saw their pay delayed by a 35-day
government shutdown. The patrol is approximately 7,000 agents short, the
Government Accountability Office reported in March. More than 700 customs
officers from around the country were diverted this spring when apprehensions
soared to more than 130,000. That division of the border agency now faces a
shortage of approximately 3,500 officers, said the National Treasury Employees
Union, which represents officers.)

DCCC
— RECRUITMENT FAIL: IL-06 GOP Primary Turns Into Full-Blown Civil War
https://dccc.org/recruitment-fail-il-06-gop-primary-turns-full-blown-civil-war/
(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: Firebrand conservative Jeanne Ives launches campaign
for Congress after Evelyn Sanguinetti’s horrible fundraising report, setting up
a rematch of the nasty 2018 Republican gubernatorial primary. Remember how we
said Evelyn Sanguinetti’s week couldn’t get any worse after she got outraised
7-to-1 by Rep. Casten in her first fundraising quarter? Apparently we were
wrong. After weeks of speculation, far-right conservative Jeanne Ives
officially filed for Congress today in the 6th District – apparently
Sanguinetti’s paltry fundraising haul couldn’t scare her off. After
Sanguinetti’s ticket barely survived a brutal challenge by Ives in the 2018
Republican primary, expect another toxic race to the conservative fringes this
cycle in a district that President Trump lost by seven points. Sanguinetti has
already endorsed President Trump’s re-election, so who knows to what extremes
Ives will drag her to over the course of a contentious primary. “Today’s
announcement sets the stage for a brutal race to the conservative extreme in
the 6th District between a floundering Evelyn Sanguinetti and a far-right wing
Jeanne Ives,” said DCCC spokesperson Mike Gwin. “While Ives and Sanguinetti
battle it out over who can bear-hug President Trump the hardest, Sean Casten
will remain focused on delivering for middle-class Illinois families by working
to keep down the cost of health care and lowering taxes for homeowners.”)
