OTHER EDITORS Why young people are leaving the state Mississippi is running out of time. It must find out why millennials are leaving the state at the highest rate in the United States. And it must find out quickly. Many millennials leave, not for a job, but for a place they want to live. And those who are leaving for a job are winding up in states where wages are higher. CompTIA, a technology industry trade association, last year ranked Mississippi 50th in average tech wages. That translates into about half of Mississippi State University College of Engineering graduates leaving the state. “After my wife and I married in summer 2016, we realized job opportunities, specifi- cally in her field, were limited at best,” Tyler Hill, of Hurley, told Mississippi Today. “She is a teacher of the deaf. Nationally, school districts and legislatures tend to spend less on special needs programs; in Mississippi, spending in this field is abysmal. The lack of jobs and growth opportunity forces us out of the state.” The other side of that coin, though, is Mississippi is a very affordable place to live. See what kind of home $100,000 will get you in San Francisco, or Boston, or Miami. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

BY ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — House Republican allies of President Donald Trump are intent on giving him a long-sought victory in Congress by finally mak- ing a down payment on his long-promised wall along the U.S. border with Mexico. They just don’t want to risk an up-or-down vote on the idea that might risk an embarrassing loss on the House floor. The $1.6 billion cost will be covered by taxpayers, not Mexico, as Trump prom- ised over and over during the campaign. Action this week comes about three months after Democrats blocked an earlier attempt to deliver a down payment on Trump’s project. But the August con- gressional recess is loom- ing, and GOP leaders are making a House win on the border wall a top pri- ority. “This week, we’re go- ing to take action on key elements of the presi- dent’s strategy to secure our borders, including the resources for a physical barrier,” House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said on Tuesday. “You see the fact that the cartels are staging just over the river, there is a need for a phys- ical barrier in many parts of this border.” Many Republicans from border states, swing-district lawmakers, and Republicans repre- senting sizable Hispanic populations oppose the wall. The issue polls poor- ly with the public. “I’m not a huge pro- ponent of the wall,” said Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla. “I remember, ‘Mex- ico’s going to pay for this wall.’ And now taxpayers are paying for it. What
