QuoteThe abortion law builds on legislation passed in 2010 that represented a major shift for a traditionally Catholic country, transforming Spain into one of the most progressive countries in Europe on reproductive rights. Spain's constitutional court last week rejected a challenge by the right-wing Popular Party against allowing abortions in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy.
The debate will be heated in Spain, I imagine, as the conservative opposition pushes back. My daughter had horrible menstrual pain during her adolescence and young adulthood. I'm certain that she would have benefitted from that time.

More democracy please.
Isn't entering the US from Mexico illegally, already illegal?
Hahahaha

I'm confused by your next to last paragraph. Are we talking about people who reside in Mexico and work frequently on the other side of the border or are we talking about people coming in illegally to stay here? It would be a terrible inconvenience for the Canadian nurses, who commute to Detroit for work. to have to come through a port of entry every shift. They get visas under NAFTA.

Let me alleviate your confusion.. Canadian nurses don't typically enter the country in AZ to get to Detroit. So, the AZ law wouldn't effect them.

They are talking about people who live in the USA.

They are adding a state law on top of federal law. Per SCOTUS precedent, the federal government oversees immigration law. I'm not sure what they are going to do if someone is charged. Just lock em up? I know that I as a taxpayer am not interested in the cost of detention as they await disposition.
Canadian nurses in my area do enter at a port of entry. They have to present a passport, plus a copy of their work visa if asked.

News flash...if they're free inside our country awaiting disposition they are still using our tax-payer funded resources. And, that kind of policy is incentive for more to come. Whereas detention would dissuade others from entering illegally.
Really, you're in favor of a open border policy.

No, not really. I know how overcrowded the local jail is in my area, and voters have been reluctant to expand it.
I am in favor of more judges to oversee asylum hearings, more funding for CBP, and electronic surveillance. I think those were all in the bill that Trump had squelched. I suppose the Trump plan of "shoot em in knee " would be cheaper.

I picked a bad example since getting to Detroit involves mostly a single crossing over the bridge. I just noted that it's very easy for white Canadians to get to the US to work while we were setting up barriers on the southern border for brown people who need to commute. Anyway, Baloney has answered my question and clarified what we are actually speaking about here. I wonder how long it would take Az. to realize how difficult it would be to lock'em up in tents and razor wire on our side? 24 hours?

Just imagine the officers going from house to house to round up the undocumented immigrants. What could possibly go wrong?
We do see those declines in crossings whenever there's a new policy, but these smugglers quickly shift their strategies and their business, and smuggling humans and people will continue,” said Hector Garza, vice president of the National Border Patrol Council, the agents' union, and a 24-year veteran of the Border Patrol who is based in Laredo, Texas.
Garza said the executive action has not introduced real change and described the state of affairs at the border as "status quo.”
Smugglers who bring migrants across the border are also telling prospective clients that things are status quo and have not altered their marketing strategy. On WhatsApp messaging chat groups filled with people looking to migrate to the U.S., smugglers told customers this week that nothing has changed.
"My people, blessings, good morning...very good routes,” one smuggler wrote Wednesday morning in a WhatsApp group where he regularly links to his catalog of migrant routes and answers questions about traveling to the U.S.
Later in the day, the same coyote posted a video to the group of a local smuggler saying, "Right here, completing the mission, boss,” as dozens of migrants crawled under a chain-linked fence in an undisclosed location, leading the viewer to believe they are entering the U.S.. While the video was posted to the WhatsApp group on June 12, it's not known if it was shot before or after the executive action took effect on June 5.
From NBC news June 12, 2024. It's always more difficult than the MAGA's make it out to be. I did like one scientist's idea of creating a chain of solar farms along the border as a fence:)

It was a tree where someone saw a blk man eating his lunch one day which is the same tree that this unfortunate young man died.
This means it's a lynching and the tree is racist.
