Families and individuals that come to America wanting a better life, especially those willing to work and contribute to our country should be able to build a life here, including receiving healthcare. Those people are the kind of people that can help build America up and often want to help better American society and the economy just as much, if not more than people who have lived in America their whole lives. Therefore, they should be given an opportunity to build a life here and receive healthcare.

I agree with this because immigrants who come into this country in search for a better life do no harm they come here work and raise families and support our community that should be a great compliment so for all they do they should be able to get healthcare and other resources .

 @B8ZDDHD from Idaho  agreed…6mos6MO

Should illegal immagrants have access to government-subsidized healthcare I believe that they should be able because they have moved here to make a better living. They have alse helped build America better which gives another point for them to get provided with healthcare.

 @B8YSL3X from California  agreed…6mos6MO

I agree, as immigrants come to America with no intention to cause harm but to have an opportunity at a better life, for themselves and their kids. They are, most likely, the hardest-working individuals the country has, working all day to provide for their families. They are humans, just like the rest of us, and deserve the chance to build a better life.

 @B8YRPVRDemocrat from Nevada  agreed…6mos6MO

I agree because depending on where you are from, can either be somewhere were you dont have those resources.

 @B8YRV5DDemocrat from Nevada  agreed…6mos6MO

I agree that families that come to the u.s. for a better life and are doing more working for peoples food ect should deserve health care.

 @B8YRSMZ from Pennsylvania  agreed…6mos6MO

Yes. Very good ideas. I think immigrants are extremely stereotyped currently and not all of them are going to be "horrific criminals" who want the worst for the country. Many come here seeking tranquility and they should receive it in the land of the free.

 @B8YW2V5Green from California  agreed…6mos6MO

America is the land of the free and people who live here should be allowed to freely live here with the benefits, why not those who chose to find a better place for their families be able to aswell?

 @B8YV7Z7 from Texas  agreed…6mos6MO

I agree with this statements because in most cases immigrants come into America in hopes of becoming better, and work hard in order to give their kids and family members a better future. They work hard for everything they have, and make sure to obey the law and stay out of trouble.

 @B8YYHR7 from Nebraska  agreed…6mos6MO

I agree. I think anyone living in this country, whether legally or not, should have equal access to healthcare. Everyone deserves to live a healthy life.

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.

A Moment of Darkness': Washington Post's No-Endorsement Decision Ignites Media Firestorm

Even though the presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is neck and neck, The Washington Post has decided not to make a presidential endorsement for the first time in 36 years, the publisher and CEO announced Friday."We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates," Will Lewis wrote in an opinion piece published on the paper's website. He referenced the paper's policy in the decades prior to 1976, when, following the Watergate scandal that the Post broke, it endorsed Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter. The last time the Post did not endorse a presidential candidate in the general election was 1988, according to a search of its archives.Colleagues learned the news from the editorial page editor, David Shipley, at a tense meeting shortly before Lewis' announcement. The meeting was characterized by someone with direct knowledge of discussions on condition of anonymity to speak about internal matters.Shipley said that he told other editorial board leaders Thursday by management that there would be no endorsement, though he has known for weeks. He added that he "owns" this decision. The reason he cited was to create "independent space" where the newspaper does not tell people for whom to vote.Colleagues were said to be "shocked" and uniformly negative. Post corporate spokespeople have not responded to multiple messages left by NPR on the subject.Former Washington Post Executive Editor Martin Baron, who led the newsroom to acclaim during Trump's presidency, denounced the decision starkly."This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty," Baron said in a statement to NPR. "Donald Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos (and other media owners). History will mark a disturbing chapter of spinelessness at an institution famed for courage."A similar decision by Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong led this week to the resignations of the paper's editorials editor and two editorial board members. Soon-Shiong said that he had asked the editorial board to draft a "factual analysis" of Trump and Harris' policies and plans. In her resignation letter, editorials editor Mariel Garza said the decision made the paper look “craven and hypocritical,” given its past reporting and editorials on Trump.
