# Border / Immigration / Migrants
America’s Southern Border Is Being Exploited by the World – People Are Flying in by the Thousands to Test It: Regardless of what the left may tell you, for most of the world, the U.S.A. is the land of milk and honey. In a 2021 opinion post, Jim Clifton, the chairman of the polling company Gallup, wrote that when asked, 27 percent of people in Latin America said they would like to move to a different country.

Migrant surge is being fueled by pseudo-legitimate travel agencies connecting migrants to smugglers, CBP official says: The migrant surge overwhelming US-Mexico border authorities is being driven by pseudo-legitimate travel agencies and organized transportation networks that are advertising travel to the US southern border and ultimately connecting migrants to smugglers, according to a US Customs and Border Protection official.

In an effort to reduce seismic activity in West Texas, state regulators have suspended nearly two dozen permits that let companies inject saltwater into the ground. The state’s oil and gas regulatory agency last month suspended nearly two dozen permits that let companies inject saltwater water into the ground, a routine industry practice that regulators said has contributed to the rising frequency and magnitude of earthquakes in West Texas.

Microplastics are everywhere: Is it possible to reduce our exposure? With tiny plastic fragments infiltrating every part of human existence, can we ever hope to avoid them? Swapping out plastic packaging could potentially help to reduce exposure – tap water has lower levels of microplastics than water from plastic bottles. But it would also have environmental repercussions.

Critical Infrastructure Is Sinking Along the US East Coast: New research reveals that some coastal areas are sinking by as much as 5 millimeters per year, which could threaten key infrastructure. A new study highlights the urgency of restructuring East Coast infrastructure, showing that cities on the Atlantic are sinking by as much as 5 millimeters per year. The hotspots of sinking land referenced by Ohenen include “significant areas of critical infrastructure in New York, including JFK and LaGuardia airports and its runways, along with the railway systems,” he said, adding that they’re sinking by a rate of more than 2 mm a year. Receding around these hotspots could bring damage to infrastructure and make the land more vulnerable to flooding.

Republican Officials Openly Insult Women Nearly Killed by Abortion Bans: Red states would rather let a patient die than let her terminate a dangerous pregnancy. And they’re barely pretending otherwise. We are only beginning to understand the extent to which pregnant women are dying and will continue to die due to denials of basic maternal health care, candid medical advice, and adequate treatment. So goes the moral calculus of the death-panel judges who now determine how to weigh the competing interests between real, existing human life and a state’s dogmatic fixation with a fetus that, by definition, must be seraphically innocent.
