Anyone who thinks the US Women's Soccer Team faces the same level of competition
as the US Men's team is grossly ignorant of the opportunities for women worldwide.


There are many reasons the US Women dominate their sport, but what that does that have to do with their compensation as opposed to the US Men?


FIFA raked in more than $6 billion from the 2018 men’s World Cup. The women’s 2019 World Cup has been projected, when all is said and done, to make about $130 million.

But, in the real world, US women soccer players already have a leg up on their male counterparts in terms of lifetime earning potential.  That's because, like the USA team, most women players graduate from college.  They have no reason to leave school early since Women's Pro Teams pay less than the cost of a college scholarship.  This gives the women better career opportunities and fatter paychecks  than men players.
And?

Yeah, especially when you factor in childbearing and rearing.

From the ACLU -

Hi Tony –

The stories coming out of child detention centers are unconscionable. Toddlers sleeping on cold cement floors. Children caring for babies. Lack of soap and toothbrushes, food and water. And in recent months, at least six children have died in custody and another child died soon after being released. That's inexcusable.

We'll continue to use every tool at our disposal to hold CBP accountable – but we need your help. Sign our petition to Congress demanding they investigate CBP detention sites and hold CBP to account for harming children.

This week, we saw a tragic photo of the dead bodies of Oscar Alberto Martinez and his 23-month-old daughter Valeria, who drowned in the Rio Grande river while seeking refuge in the U.S. It's hard to imagine the desperation that leads families to take this perilous journey. It's even harder to imagine the depths of inhumanity that our government will sink to in order to pursue its racist, anti-immigrant agenda.

We should be better than this, Tony.

Together with our four million supporters, we've been calling Congress to make loud and clear that we refuse to give even more of our taxpayer money to DHS and its sub-agencies, CBP and ICE. We've sued the Trump administration over family separation and other inhumane policies against immigrants and asylum seekers. And we've rallied behind legislation that would protect immigrant communities and create a path to citizenship. We're winning, but there's still much work to be done.

Demand that Congress investigate child detention sites and hold CBP to account for its inhumane treatment of children.

Let's come together and demand better from our government. The children deserve it.

Thanks for making your voice heard,

Astrid Dominguez
Director of the ACLU Border Rights Center

------------------------

We have shrinking cities which could use the immigrants. For instance, Detroit could use the people.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrinking_cities

We can bus the whole families to Detroit, while keeping the families intact. And then we can set the people free in Detroit with EBT cards, and with help with housing, etc, and the Unions can help them to get jobs, etc, they can help each other and other people can help them, they can live their American Dream in Detroit. And there can be redevelopment money and business loans in Detroit, etc.

Instead of holding the people in detention centers, we need to bus the families to Detroit and set them free in Detroit with aid to get settled, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.
