The litigation was launched in 2022 by an 8-year-old plaintiff named in the lawsuit as D.H., who is a biological male that identifies as a transgender female. The child’s mother accused Tennessee of legalizing “discrimination against helpless children” after the law was signed by Governor Bill Lee in 2021.

Commentary: The Corrupt Economics of Immigration

The common refrain among supporters of the Democratic Party’s open borders policy is that immigration helps the economy.
