  "I was talking about U.S.-Mexico cooperation. We've been doing security cooperation with Mexico for years." Buttigieg continued, "If your question is about experience, let's also talk about judgment. One of the foreign leaders you mentioned meeting was Bashar al-Assad. I have in my experience such as it is, whether you think it counts or not since it wasn't accumulated in Washington, enough judgment that I would not have sat down with a murderous dictator like that."
  
  More than 50,000 people either were caught trying to cross into the U.S. illegally or were turned away at the southern border.
  May was the third month in a row that more than 50,000 people at the southern border either were caught trying to illegally enter the U.S. or were denied entry.
  The Department of Homeland Security apprehended almost 40,400 people who tried to cross into the U.S. illegally in May. And about 11,500 people trying to cross at ports of entry were denied admission.
  Presidential administrations often use these numbers to judge if illegal border crossings are on the rise. Arrests were declining during part of President Donald Trump's first year in office but have mostly gone up since April 2017.
  And that has reportedly upset the president. So much so that the New York Times reported last month that Kirstjen Nielsen, the secretary of Homeland Security, nearly resigned after Trump berated her over the issue.
  Illegal immigration has been one of the Trump administration's top priorities. In a statement, Homeland Security said it didn't expect to be able to "reverse years of political inaction overnight or in a month."
  
  The Number 8 Newton Eagles (2-0) hosted the 4-A Diboll Lumberjacks Friday night. Newton quickly attacked the Diboll defense when junior quarterback Josh Foster bootlegged to the right and found junior wide-receiver Tamauzia Brown on s top route. Brown then turned around and juked two Diboll defenders finding the end zone from 30 yards out.
  In the second half, Diboll got the ball. Their possession of the ball was short lived. Only 30 seconds into the second half linebacker Corbin Foster tipped a pass towards Brown, who then intercepted the ball. Nothing would come from the turnover but time. Newton ended up winning 40-20.
  
  The plot: Six Hollywood hopefuls come to Los Angeles from across the country for what they think is a career break of a lifetime and the opportunity to work on a huge music video for MTV. But the entire production -- the song, the crew, the artists -- is a giant hoax designed to determine which of the production assistants will survive the “shoot from hell” and get their big break.
  The winning PA will actually get to work with music-video director Wayne Isham -- who has worked on videos by Moby, Sheryl Crow, Britney Spears and Kid Rock, among others -- on a real video production.
  Bubba Sparxxx, JC Chasez, Michelle Branch, Monica, Nick Lachey, Omarion and Sleepy Brown will appear during the series.

  "As America’s largest public service media enterprise and a national membership organization for independent public television stations around the country, it is critically important that PBS technology teams achieve the highest level of member station satisfaction, while fostering innovation, cost effectiveness and accountability,” said PBS president and CEO Paula Kerger, in a statement. "Dr. Vecchi brings a wealth of skill and experience to the role of leading an organization of talented and dedicated individuals in order to maximize PBS’ technology systems by ensuring reliability and responding strategically to the rapidly changing and increasingly complex media landscape."
  "PBS is a leading organization in the media world. It has made pivotal contributions over the years, including technology," Vecchi added. "The rapidly changing landscape of both consumer habits and technology create great opportunities to innovate. I am honored to be able to work with Paula and Michael in leading a first-class technology team towards an exciting and productive future for PBS," added Vecchi, who is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and a member of the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE).
