Hoy hace 10 años que se publicó uno de los artículos más clarividentes sobre el ascenso de Donald Trump. Se titulaba "El opio de las masas" y alertaba de que el "el bajón final será duro".

Es, ahora mismo, el texto más leído en The Atlantic.

Lo escribió JD Vance.

This is not really right. Elon came legally, but dropped out of college and worked for a bit before he got an H-1B. This made him probably deportable during that time, but it was a few years before INS began tracking student visa compliance so he got away with it. Very common.

Por alguna razón en el mundo creen que la Ciudad de México es calurosa. Pero en verano es considerablemente más fresca que todas las capitales europeas y que NYC, Filadelfia, Boston, entre otras.

Hospital Birth Packages in Texas Border Areas
Reports confirm that providers in Texas border communities (e.g., the Rio Grande Valley and El Paso) offer or facilitate maternity packages targeted at international/self-pay patients, including from Latin America. These leverage proximity, bilingual services, and the appeal of U.S. birth for the child’s citizenship.
• Mission Regional Medical Center (Mission, Texas, a Prime Healthcare facility in the Rio Grande Valley near the Mexico border) promotes birth packages starting at $3,950 for vaginal delivery and $5,225 for C-section. These target international patients through bilingual signs and their website. The timing of visibility and backlash coincided with the June 30 SCOTUS ruling reaffirming birthright citizenship. Critics online accused it of encouraging “anchor babies,” while the hospital frames it as quality maternity care in an area with routine cross-border medical travel. Texas Republicans (e.g., Rep. Brian Harrison) have called for state legislative responses, such as blocking birth certificates in certain cases. @i
• Doctores Para Ti (El Paso, Texas, a medical group facilitating care at local hospitals like Las Palmas or Del Sol) explicitly markets comprehensive maternity packages to international patients:
• Vaginal birth: $6,652
• C-section: $8,177
Services include prenatal/delivery/postpartum care (patients can transfer care late in pregnancy), bilingual (English/Spanish) staff, private rooms, and administrative help with the baby’s U.S. birth certificate, passport, and Social Security number. The group describes itself as serving international patients (including from Latin America) who enter legally on valid visas. Their materials and promotions highlight the opportunity for the child to obtain U.S. citizenship and dual nationality. The website has a Spanish version, and they maintain a social media presence targeting Spanish-speaking audiences. https://t.co/7WMpAmPk2O
These prices align closely with the user’s “up to $5,000” figure (Mission’s packages fall in or near that range; full packages elsewhere are higher). Birth tourism—traveling to give birth in the U.S. for citizenship—has existed for years (historically involving clients from China, Russia, and elsewhere), but border proximity makes it especially accessible for Latin American patients via short travel, lower logistics costs, and Spanish-language support.

@Rightanglenews This looks like a Spanish-language billboard in South Texas. 75% of the billboards in the Rio Grande Valley look like this.

Is there some reason to believe this is in Latin America?

[Seth Keshel @RealSKeshel]

Ah yes, liberal state after Donald the Conqueror won by 14 and flipped counties in the Rio Grande Valley that hadn’t been red in 100 years, or ever.

Sister Letty was on her way to Sunday mass when ICE detained her. Trump said he would go after the worst of the worst. But time and again, the administration is going after the best of the best—children, teachers, doctors. It’s targeting nuns like Sister Letty of Our Lady of Sorrows Church in the Rio Grande Valley. It is a relief that she is home. She should never have been locked away to begin with.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

TEXAS – candidate @bobbypulido425: “Sister ‘Letty’, a nurse & a nun in the Rio Grande Valley for 10 years, was on her way to mass in her habit when ICE detained her even though she's in the country legally… This should not be happening."

El Mundial se ha robado la atención, pero la tendencia más importante del país sigue su curso: la caída de los homicidios. Ayer hubo 28 en todo México.

En lo que va de julio, el promedio diario es de 32. Hace apenas dos años era de 70.
Es el dato más relevante del sexenio.

Ayer 3 de julio es el segundo día con la cifra más baja de homicidos dolosos en México, reportados en la presente administración y en los últimos ocho años
