Latina workers continue facing wage gap Each year, Latina Equal Pay Day symbolizes how much longer it takes Latina workers to earn the same as white, non-Hispanic men. This year, that date was on Dec. 8, and in 2021, that date was marked on Oct. 21, nearly two months earlier than this year. MSNBC’s Alicia Menendez is joined by founder and President of Justice for Migrant Women, Mónica Ramírez, who chairs the National Latina Equal Pay Day campaign, to discuss the changes needed to finally close the pay gap.

An Arizona county sheriff said Saturday that he’s frustrated with Gov. Doug Ducey sending large shipping containers to the border in an effort to construct a makeshift border wall. 

With the containers reaching within 6 miles of Santa Cruz County, Sheriff David Hathaway told FOX 10 Phoenix he’ll arrest anyone who tries to place them in the county, which he referred to as “illegal dumping.” 

“The area where they’re placing the containers is entirely on federal land, on national forest land,” the sheriff told the station. “It’s not state land, it’s not private land, and the federal government has said this [is] illegal activity. So just the way if I saw somebody doing an assault or a homicide or a vehicle theft on public land within my county, I would charge that person with a crime.”

“Our border communities are overwhelmed by illegal activity as a result of the Biden administration’s failure to secure the southern border,” Ducey said in a statement at the time. “Arizona is taking action to protest on behalf of our citizens. With this lawsuit, we’re pushing back against efforts by federal bureaucrats to reverse the progress we’ve made. The safety and security of Arizona and its citizens must not be ignored. Arizona is going to do the job that Joe Biden refuses to do — secure the border in any way we can. We’re not backing down.”

The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office and the governor’s office didn’t immediately return Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
