Border Situation with JJ Carrell, Retire Deputy Border Agent

J.J. Carrell had a 24-year career with the United States Border Patrol. “I made my reputation working a decade on the San Diego/Tijuana border as a Journeyman and Supervisory Border Patrol Agent. I promoted up the ranks from my success running small to large task force units. I retired as a Deputy Patrol Agent in Charge which allowed me to have access to and be a participant in the forming of strategic law enforcement planning and having an understanding of high-level policy development and decisions. I have been a guest on several national television shows like FoxNews and NewsMax as well as a guest on nationally syndicated radio shows. I will have my first book published in June by Post Hill Press.For more information: https://jjcarrell.substack.com/

I Am Has Sent Me

You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

Inalienable Rights, or Enumerated Rights?

Inalienable Rights - Declaration of Independence
Personal rights held by an individual which are not bestowed by law, custom, or belief, and which cannot be taken or given away, or transferred to another person, are referred to as “inalienable rights.”
Enumerated Rights - https://legaldictionary.net/enumerated-powers/
Enumerated powers are specific powers granted to Congress by the United States Constitution. The framers of the Constitution wanted to ensure the new federal government would not become an overreaching entity that might subject the people to the oppression from which they had fled. 
 
The Civil War and Reconstruction amendments transformed the expectation of a small government and state citizenship towards the primacy of federal power and national citizenship. With this shift came the expectation that the national government was the primary guarantor of rights, and congressional acts in 1866 and 1875 made the federal courts, not the state courts, the primary vehicle for protecting rights under the U.S. Constitution.

Parents Bill of Rights Act
Parents have a God-given right to make decisions for their children. Unfortunately, many school districts have been ignoring the wishes of parents while special interest groups try to criminalize free speech. This list of rights will make clear to parents what their rights are and clear to schools what their duties are to parents.
