Sobremesa: Breaking barriers
Immigration has always been fundamental to the growth of the United States, yet the rights of U.S. immigrants continue to be challenged. Since his 2016 presidential election campaign, President Donald Trump has advocated for “building the wall.” Now, in a time of changing presidential administrations, the protection of the rights of undocumented immigrants has been thrown into question.
Editorial: TCU crisis illustrates need for participation in student government
Even in normal times, civic engagement in student government elections is essential to enacting real change on campus.

However, during a politically divisive time, it is important to bring to light Barrett’s public support for President Donald Trump.

Letter to the Editor: The real constitutional crisis was the friends we made along the way
Our country is nothing without our choices to live together, at every level. So vote!
