How Biden’s promises to reverse Trump’s immigration policies crumbled

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:58:32 GMT

WASHINGTON — Immigration was dead simple when Joe Biden was campaigning for president: It was an easy way to attack Donald Trump as a racist, and it helped to rally Democrats with the promise of a more humane border policy.Nothing worked better than Trump’s “big, beautiful wall” that he was building along the southern border. Its existence was as much a metaphor for the polarization inside America as it was a largely ineffective barrier against foreigners fleeing to the United States from Central America.“There will not be,” Biden proclaimed as he campaigned against Trump in the summer of 2020, “another foot of wall constructed.”But a massive surge of migration in the Western Hemisphere has scrambled the dynamics of an issue that has vexed presidents for decades, and radically reshaped the political pressures on Biden and his administration. Instead of becoming the president who quickly reversed his predecessor’s policies, Biden has repeatedly tried to curtail the migration of a rec...

A fix for California’s teacher shortage? Pull back the retirees who’ve already left

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:58:32 GMT

Exactly six months after Susan Gonyo retired, the calls began coming in. She had spent two-and-a-half decades teaching at a Santa Rosa elementary school, and as soon as the mandatory 180-day separation period set by the state’s teacher pension agency had passed, her former principal was already asking her to return.It was right after pandemic-era school closures. The teacher shortage was just getting worse. And so, 67-year-old Gonyo went back to the classroom — first as a substitute, and then as a part-time teacher.Previously retired teacher Susan Gonyo sits with two of her second grade students, Gave Hernandez, 7, left, and Azaliea Gage, 6, answering their questions at John B. Riebli School in Santa Rosa. After 25 years of teaching, Gonyo retired in 2022 ; however, after her former principal asked her to return, she came back to the classroom at age 67 .

Wales gets job done with Rees-Zammit hat trick against Georgia at Rugby World Cup

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:58:32 GMT

NANTES, France (AP) — Injuries to Taulupe Faletau and Gareth Anscombe marred a flat performance by Wales that was still good enough to account for Georgia 41-19 at the Rugby World Cup on Saturday.Wales needed only a point to win Pool C and secured it with a fourth try in the 67th minute that ended a Georgia comeback from 24-7 down to 24-19.The bonus-point win gave Wales 19 points out of a possible 20 in pool play and secured a quarterfinal next Saturday in Marseille against Argentina or Japan, who meet on Sunday.No. 8 Faletau and flyhalf Anscombe will worry Wales now, though. Faletau, who has started every match, walked off late clutching his wrist. Anscombe was due to start but tweaked his groin while kicking in the warmup and withdrew.Sam Costelow replaced Anscombe and played well. But, pointedly, his backup Dan Biggar was the only reserve not used. Biggar was resting an injured pectoral muscle suffered against Australia two weeks ago, until pressed onto the bench after Anscombe w...
