Brilliant Plan!

The Mexican government requested this move to help with the border crisis, according to the unnamed officials.
“This is another example of the Trump Administration working with the Government of Mexico to address the ongoing border security crisis,” DHS spokeswoman Heather Swift told Fox News.
“Mexico has been a great partner in stopping illegal migration before they reach our border and in standing up the Migrant Protection Protocol, which has allowed us to provide court dates to more than 55,000 individuals.”
The migrants who will be flown to the center of Mexico are not part of the Migrant Protection Protocols.
MPP or the “Remain-in-Mexico” policy ended the “catch-and-release” policy and migrants are now returned to Mexico to wait for their immigration hearings.

House Democrats demand docs for probe into Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy
House Democrats on Tuesday launched a probe into the Trump administration's controversial policy of requiring tens of thousands of asylum-seekers to wait in northern Mexico for their U.S. immigration court hearings.
The Democratic-led House Judiciary Committee demanded troves of documents and data related to the implementation of the so-called "Remain in Mexico" program, which U.S. officials have used to return more than 57,000 Latin American migrants to often dangerous Mexican border cities. Citing the squalid and precarious conditions faced by those in the program, as well as the difficulty of finding U.S.-based lawyers while in Mexico, the committee said a "comprehensive review" of the policy is warranted.
"We strongly believe that MPP is a dangerously flawed policy that threatens the health and safety of legitimate asylum seekers — including women, children, and families — and should be abandoned," lawmakers wrote in their letter to Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf, referring to the policy by its official name, the Migrant Protection Protocols.
The House Judiciary Committee's letter on Monday, signed by Representatives Jerry Nadler, Zoe Lofgren, Pramila Jayapal, Sylvia Garcia, Joe Neguse, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell and Lou Correa, also underscored concerns about due process advocates have raised. A CBS News series over the summer detailed how the program makes it extremely difficult for migrants to secure U.S.-based lawyers generally needed for successful asylum claims. According to data by researchers at Syracuse University, only about 4% of migrants in the program have had lawyers represent them in proceedings in the U.S.
"The policy has nearly eliminated the already scarce due process protections available to asylum-seekers — such as access to counsel — further reducing the likelihood that legitimate asylum-seekers can obtain asylum," the lawmakers wrote.
The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment on Tuesday's announcement and the committee's letter.

No MSM coverage of this. Wonder why? FBI Apologizing for the Crimes they committed, why is that not something the left would report on? Is it because they defended the illegal actions of the FBI for so long?
Now that the FBI has admitted guilt and apologized, it’s a story they don’t want to touch, so they can save themselves from a little bit of embarrassment?

Mixed Factual Reporting - Not always Credible
Washington Times - Right Center Bias - Conservative - Republican - Mostly CredibleRIGHT-CENTER BIAS
These media sources are slightly to moderately conservative in bias. They often publish factual information that utilizes loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes) to favor conservative causes. These sources are generally trustworthy for information, but may require further investigation. See all Right-Center sources.
Although the Washington Times has a very strong right editorial bias, they report straight news with a much lower bias. Therefore, we rate them Right-Center biased overall, and factually mixed due to poor sourcing, holding editorial positions that are contrary to scientific consensus, and failed fact checks.

Breaking down the costs of Trump's trade war with China
President Donald Trump is set to sign a "phase one" trade deal with China on Wednesday, but the agreement -- which has been almost two years in the making -- won't lift the tariffs he's imposed on Chinese-made goods.
The deal is expected to leave tariffs on about $370 billion of goods, or nearly two-thirds of what the United States imports from China. The taxes have raised the price for items such as baseball hats, luggage, bicycles, TVs, sneakers, and a variety of materials used by American manufacturers.
Trump used tariffs as a negotiating tactic, meant to hurt China's economy and pressure Beijing to agree to a new trade deal that addresses unfair trade practices, such as intellectual property theft and forced technology transfers. That's a goal that business leaders across the country, as well as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle agree on.
But the tariffs have hurt Americans, too. They've cut into US businesses' bottom lines, forcing owners to make decisions about job cuts and raising prices on consumers. Plus, the uncertainty around how long the tariffs will be in place and whether Trump will escalate the rate -- which he did last May with just days' notice -- deter businesses from making long-term investments, potentially costing the US growth.
300,000 jobs lost
A report from Moody's Analytics says that the trade war with China, which started in early 2018, cost 300,000 jobs through September, based on an economic simulation.
Even with that loss, US job growth is still strong. The economy added 2.1 million jobs in 2019 -- though at a slower pace than the year before when 2.7 million jobs were created.
While it's hard to know exactly how many jobs losses can be attributed to trade tensions, the Moody's report isn't the only one that suggests the duties are having an effect on US workers.
A survey of businesses by staffing firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas found that trade difficulties were cited as the reason for more than 10,000 job cuts in August alone. And an analysis by the Tax Foundation also suggests the trade war will result to job losses in the long-run.
American importers paid an extra $46 billion in tariffs
Trump is wrong when he claims that China is paying the tariffs.
The cost of the tariff comes directly out of the bank account of an American importer when the good arrives at the port.
US companies have paid $46 billion more in tariffs than they would have without Trump's tariffs, according to an analysis of government data by the free-trade coalition called Tariffs Hurt the Heartland. American importers can choose to eat the cost of the tariff, or pass some -- or all -- of it along to the consumer.
It's possible that some Chines manufacturers lowered their prices in order to stay competitive in the US market. But at least two papers released last year suggested that US companies and consumers are bearing the brunt of the tariff cost.
Trump’s claim that he ‘saved’ pre-ex conditions ‘part fantasy, part delusion’
President Donald Trump attempted to take credit for one of the most popular elements of the Affordable Care Act: Its protection for people who have preexisting medical conditions.
"I was the person who saved Pre-Existing Conditions in your healthcare," Trump tweeted on Jan. 13.
The protection for people with medical problems has been a rallying cry for Democrats, and they used the issue to help propel their widespread election victories in 2018.
Trump repeatedly has sought to align himself with this issue – in May, for instance, claiming he would "always protect patients with preexisting conditions." We rated that claim False. His re-election campaign has made similar claims, which experts debunked.
Trump tweeted that he "was the person who saved Pre-Existing Conditions in your healthcare."
The president had nothing to do with the ban on health insurance plans discriminating against people with preexisting conditions. This consumer protection is a core part of the health care law that became law during the Obama presidency. Trump has expressly supported the repeal of this law without offering a replacement that would keep the protection intact.
And to this day, his administration is arguing in court that the law – including this provision – should be undone.
The president’s tweet is not only untrue, but it misrepresents his administration’s efforts to repeal the health care law without offering any replacement that might maintain its core protections. We rate this claim Pants on Fire.
