A top Texas lawmaker on the forefront of the fight against illegal immigration told FOX News he believes liberals are waking up to the crisis caused or exacerbated by the Biden administration. Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, pointed to recent comments and actions by several top municipal and state Democrats that have conflicted with Biden administration claims the Mexican border is secure and that the migrant deluge is not a crisis.

U.K. Home Secretary Suella Braverman said this week multiculturalism has "failed" as she faced Europe’s migrant crisis head-on and called for a change to what she described as outdated asylum and refugee rules. Braverman, the U.K.’s top immigration minister, spoke in Washington at the American Enterprise Institute, where she challenged multiculturalism as a "misguided dogma" that had failed to integrate foreign nationals in their new countries.  She said uncontrolled immigration, "inadequate" integration and multiculturalism had been a "toxic combination" for Europe. "Multiculturalism makes no demands of the incomer to integrate," Braverman said.

In a vote in the Congress of Deputies in Madrid, the Spanish parliament’s lower chamber, Popular Party leader Alberto Núñez Feijóo collected 172 lawmakers’ votes in his favor to 177 against him, with one vote declared null and void.

Liberal CNN host and Washington Post columnist Fareed Zakaria trashed the Biden administration's immigration policy Friday. In a column, Zakaria argued that the Biden administration’s handling of the migrant surge, which he admitted now threatens major blue cities, is about as ineffective as "Band-Aids on a massive, open wound." Zakaria began his Friday column for The Post, titled "Democrats need to admit that they’re wrong on immigration," with the acknowledgment that Democrats’ handling of immigration is so poor, it may cost them upcoming elections. He wrote, "The Democrats are confronting a crisis that could cripple their chances at the polls at the national, state and local level. I’m talking about immigration. It’s happening not only because Republicans are taking advantage of the problem but also because Democrats are unwilling to accept that their policy ideas on the issue are wrong and grossly inadequate to the challenge at hand."

Halloween is a time when millions of Americans dress up, play pranks, eat candy and carve pumpkins, but that’s not exactly how the annual celebration got its start. The spooky folkloric holiday, which is often associated with ghouls and fantastical creatures, can be traced back to an ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain, according to online resources from the publishing company, Encyclopedia Britannica. Samhain was a pagan religious festival hosted halfway between the autumnal equinox and winter solstice, and it was celebrated in England and Ireland roughly 2,000 years ago, according to historical records.
