There will likely be socialists on the statewide ballot next year in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts — and not just in the Democratic Party.
While a few Democrats in the state legislature identify as democratic socialists — including state representatives Michael Connolly (D-Cambridge), Erika Uyterhoeven (D-Somerville), and Nika Elugardo (D-Jamaica Plain), a party to the left of the Democratic Party plans to run a slate of its own socialists.
U.S. SenatorTed Cruz (R-Texas) doesn't want Texas to be the only state to deal with the influx of illegal immigrants at the border.
He proposed the Stop the SURGE Act, or the Stop the Surge of Unsafe Rio Grande Encampments Act. The purpose is to relocate illegal immigrants from South Texas to newly established ports of entry for processing under the Immigration & Naturalization Act (Title 8) and Public Health Service Act (Title 42). His proposed locations are wealthy parts of blue states.
