The Presidential Medal of Freedom

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the highest civilian award of the Unites States. It recognizes those people who have made "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors". This year Ellen DeGeneres, Tom Hanks, Diana Ross, and many more received the Medal of Freedom. Ellen got her medal for always being joyful and for reminding people to be kind to one another.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said that Rep. Michael McCaul is the strongest member of Congress when it comes to border security. He was responding to the Washington Times saying that we needed better enforcement when nit comes to immigration laws. “To say somehow I am not strong on immigration is laughable because, whether it’s sanctuary cities to every vote on the floor of the House, I have strongly voted against illegal immigration,” he said at a forum at the Bipartisan Policy Center. “I have co-sponsored virtually every bill. I introduced the SAFE Act, which would stop the flow of Syrian refugees into this country. I also strongly support the Secure Fence Act.”
