Massive School Choice WIN in Texas & Opportunity for Massive WIN Nationally, plus Stopping a Nuclear Iran

🏫 Massive School Choice Victory in Texas & National Opportunity

Key Highlights:

  • Historic Legislation in Texas: Texas passed the largest and most comprehensive school choice program in the U.S., allocating $1 billion for Education Savings Accounts (ESAs). These accounts provide up to $11,000 per student, and up to $30,000 for students with disabilities, allowing parents to choose the best educational setting for their children.

  • Scope and Impact: With Texas representing about 10% of the U.S. student population, this move is seen as a game-changer for education reform nationwide.

  • Political Strategy: Cruz detailed a multi-year political campaign, including endorsing primary challengers against anti-school choice Republicans, to build legislative support. He emphasized that this was not a partisan issue but a geographic and institutional battle, especially in rural areas where public schools are major employers.

  • Federal Push: Cruz is advocating for a federal school choice initiative through budget reconciliation, which would allow passage with only Republican votes. The proposal includes $10 billion annually in federal tax credits for donations to scholarship-granting organizations, aiming to replicate Texas’s success on a national scale.


☢️ Stopping a Nuclear Iran

Key Points:

  • Opposition to Iran Nuclear Deal: Cruz strongly opposes any new nuclear deal with Iran, citing the failures of the Obama-era agreement and the dangers of appeasement. He supports President Trump’s red line: Iran must fully dismantle its nuclear program, including shutting down centrifuges.

  • National Security Threat: Cruz argues that Iran, under the Ayatollah, is a direct threat to the U.S. and Israel, citing attempts to assassinate U.S. officials and support for terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

  • Policy Contrast: He contrasts the “maximum pressure” strategy under Trump—which included strict sanctions and oil embargoes—with the “appeasement” approach of the Biden administration, which he claims enabled Iran to rebuild its economy and fund terrorism.

  • Call to Action: Cruz emphasizes the need for firm U.S. policy and warns against trusting Iran, advocating for either diplomatic dismantlement or, if necessary, military action to neutralize the threat.

Trump’s Deportation Savings Plan a Win for Taxpayers

  1. Policy Overview:

    • The Trump administration proposed paying $1,000 to undocumented immigrants who voluntarily leave the U.S.
    • The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would provide travel assistance and a stipend to those who use the CBP Home app to register and self-deport.
  2. Cost Savings:

    • The policy is intended to save the government money, as deporting an undocumented immigrant typically costs around $17,000.
    • By offering financial incentives for self-deportation, the government aims to reduce these costs to approximately $4,500 per person.
  3. Media and Public Reaction:

    • The media has struggled to criticize the policy, with CBS News describing it as a "novel idea."
    • Pro-immigration advocates have denounced the policy, urging undocumented immigrants to reject the offer.
  4. Implementation Details:

    • Undocumented immigrants must register on the CBP Home app and file a notice to leave the U.S. to receive the financial assistance.
    • The stipend is only paid once the individual is confirmed to have left the country.
    • Those who register for self-deportation will be deprioritized for ICE arrests and may have the opportunity to return to the U.S. legally in the future.
  5. Political and Social Context:

    • We highlight the political motivations behind the policy, including the Trump administration's efforts to reduce illegal immigration and save taxpayer money.
    • It also discusses the broader implications for immigration enforcement and the potential impact on undocumented immigrants.
