NoneIn President-elect Donald Trump’s , host of “Meet the Press,” he once again when he takes office in January. “You know we’re the only country that has it,” Trump . While he flubbed many of the details about birthright citizenship, our focus should be on how radical a change it would truly be to no longer guarantee citizenship and its privileges to every child born in the United States. It’s a gutting of America’s promise that could only emerge from a purposeful, malicious and inherently cruel misreading of the Constitution. As the Trump campaign , the proposed executive order he would sign would limit the scope of automatic citizenship to children born here and require at least one parent to prove they are either a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident. In the absence of such evidence, federal agencies would be ordered to deny the newborn from receiving a Social Security number and block the parents from receiving any federal benefits like , better known as WIC. That baby would also be denied a U.S. passport and any other documentary proof of citizenship. Trump first , but it got put far on the backburner by more cautious staffers. This time around, though, his incoming deputy chief of staff, , and other hard-liners are preparing to move forward with as many restrictions on immigration as possible. They subscribe to a worldview that has that America’s white Christian heritage can stand while also freely accepting the children of nonwhite migrants or formerly enslaved Black people as equal citizens under the Constitution. Miller’s becoming federal policy requires ignoring : “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” Trump hopes to and exclude potentially hundreds of thousands of babies each year. It would, in effect, transform those newborn U.S. citizens into undocumented aliens before they’ve completed their first day on Earth. Trump’s campaign argued that the change is needed to deter illegal border crossings and prevent what’s derisively called “anchor babies” from acting as a backdoor for undocumented parents to remain. But the requirement would also exclude babies born to parents who are in the U.S. but aren’t permanent residents. Not only would that exclude babies born to those on temporary work or student visas, but it would also exclude babies born to those who’ve been admitted as refugees or granted political asylum. In the latter case, asylees and refugees must wait a year before even applying to become a permanent resident. Even applying for and acquiring . And as best we can tell from what Trump’s team has said, babies born in the meantime wouldn’t be counted as citizens, no matter where in the application process their parents might be. Instead, there would now be a second-class tier of children who could be expelled with their parents as part of . Tellingly, the way that the policy has been described suggests that Trump’s team has learned from the chaos of the 2017 “Muslim ban.” Rather than going for the most sweeping change possible, Miller and his cohorts have suggested that would save taxpayers money, only affect children born to two undocumented parents and not be retroactive. Even so, such a change will provoke almost immediately, and rightly so. It will be a hard sell even for the archconservative majority on the Supreme Court to affirming that citizenship is granted at birth. But that won’t stop from pushing for that to be overturned. There’s a danger in even being willing to accept any exceptions in the notion that people born in the United States are citizens. It’s just a small step from there to requiring citizenship from one parent as a prerequisite; then both parents; then grandparents. America would be transformed from one of the most free and welcoming countries into a “blood and soil” nation of exclusion, one built on the backs of children whose only crime was being born under Trump’s second regime.Burris 1-4 2-2 4, Koehler 3-11 0-0 6, Tew 1-3 0-0 2, Threatt 7-17 7-9 21, Tomley 7-12 8-8 28, Vucinic 1-4 0-0 2, Vartiainen 1-5 0-0 3, Hennig 1-2 0-0 2, Moore 0-0 0-0 0, Cutler 0-0 0-0 0.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Tens of thousands of Spaniards marched in downtown Barcelona on Saturday to protest the skyrocketing cost of renting an apartment in the popular tourist destination. Protesters cut off traffic on main avenues in the city center, holding up homemade signs in Spanish reading “Fewer apartments for investing and more homes for living" and “The people without homes uphold their rights.” The lack of affordable housing has become one of the leading concerns for the southern European Union country, mirroring the housing crunch across many parts of the world, including the United States . Organizers said that over 170,000 had turned out, while Barcelona’s police said they estimated some 22,000 marched. Either way, the throngs of people clogging the streets recalled the massive separatist rallies at the height of the previous decade’s Catalan independence movement. Now, social concerns led by housing have displaced political crusades. That is because the average rent for Spain has doubled in last 10 years. The price per square meter has risen from 7.2 euros ($7.5) in 2014 to 13 euros this year, according to the popular online real estate website Idealista. The growth is even more acute in cities like Barcelona and Madrid. Incomes meanwhile have failed to keep up, especially for younger people in a country with chronically high unemployment. Protester Samuel Saintot said he is “frustrated and scared” after being told by the owners of the apartment he has rented for the past 15 years in Barcelona’s city center that he must vacate the premises. He suspects that the owners want him out so they can renovate it and boost the price. “Even looking in a 20- or 30-kilometer radius outside town, I can’t even find anything within the price range I can afford,” he told The Associated Press. “And I consider myself a very fortunate person, because I earn a decent salary. And even in my case, I may be forced to leave town.” A report by the Bank of Spain indicates that nearly 40% of Spaniards who rent dedicate an average of 40% of their income to paying rents and utilities, compared to the European Union average of 27% of renters who do so. “We are talking about a housing emergency. It means people having many difficulties both in accessing and staying in their homes,” said Ignasi Martí, professor for Esade business school and head of its Dignified Housing Observatory. The rise in rents is causing significant pain in Spain, where traditionally people seek to own their homes. Rental prices have also been driven up by short-term renters including tourists. Many migrants to Spain are also disproportionately hit by the high rents because they often do not have enough savings. Spain is near the bottom end of OECD countries with under 2% of all housing available being public housing for rent. The OECD average is 7%. Spain is far behind France, with 14%, Britain with 16%, and the Netherlands with 34%. “I think it’s impossible to make prices fall to what they were a few years back. It makes me cry,” said protester Laia Pizjuán. “It's so upsetting. I know so many people who are in a bad situation. I have relatives living together in crowded apartments because they can’t afford to live on their own.” Carme Arcarazo, spokesperson for Barcelona’s Tenants Union which helped organize the protest, said that renters should consider a “rent strike” and cease paying their monthly rents in a mass protest movement. “I think we the tenants have understood that this depends on us. That we can’t keep asking and making demands to the authorities and waiting for an answer. We must take the reins of the situation,” Arcarazo told the AP. “So, if they (the owners) won’t lower the rent, then we will force them to do it." The Barcelona protest came a month after tens of thousands rallied against high rents in Madrid. The rising discontent over housing is putting pressure on Spain’s governing Socialist party, which leads a coalition on the national level and is in charge of Catalonia’s regional government and Barcelona’s city hall. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez presided over what the government termed a “housing summit” including government officials and real estate developers last month. But the Barcelona’s Tenants Union boycotted the event, saying it was like calling a summit for curing cancer and inviting tobacco companies to participate. The leading government measure has been a rent cap mechanism that the central government has offered to regional authorities based on a price index established by the housing ministry. Rent controls can be applied to areas deemed to be “highly stressed” by high rental prices. Catalonia was the first region to apply those caps, which are in place in downtown Barcelona. Many locals blame the million of tourists who visit Barcelona, and the rest of Spain, each year for the high prices. Barcelona’s town hall has pledged to completely eliminate the city’s 10,000 so called “tourist apartments,” or dwellings with permits for short-term rents, by 2028.Man, 31, charged with murder after double homicide at burger bar in SydneyNone

The Toronto Blue Jays aren't messing around. Toronto has been active this offseason looking to add talent to the organization but hasn't had as much success in free agency as it hoped. The Blue Jays were involved in the Juan Soto and Max Fried sweepstakes but missed out on both. While this is the case, the Blue Jays did strike big on the trade market on Tuesday night by landing Cleveland Guardians three-time Gold Glove Award winner and one-time All-Star Andrés Giménez, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. "Breaking: The Toronto Blue Jays are finalizing a trade to acquire three-time Gold Glove-winning second baseman Andrés Giménez from the Cleveland Guardians, sources tell ESPN," Passan said. This is a big move for the Blue Jays. He is just 26 years old and already has had plenty of success. He has won three straight Gold Glove Awards and hit nine home runs, drove in 63 runs, and slashed .252/.298/.340 in 2024 with Cleveland across 152 games played. He has seen time at second base, shortstop, and third base throughout his big league career, although second base is his prominent position. Giménez signed a seven-year, $106.5 million deal with a club option for the 2030 season. Giménez is under contract for years to come and could be a very important piece for the Blue Jays. This isn't a deal that was speculated or rumored about a lot, but it is a fantastic one for the Blue Jays. At this point, it hasn't been reported what the Blue Jays gave up for Giménez, but this is a big move.
