Check out my new documentary: failure of mass migration to Maine, where Somalis systemically scam the system. I went on the ground to see how the town has changed over the last few decades. Through conversations with locals and a look at everyday life, this documentary explores how large-scale refugee resettlement has impacted schools, jobs, housing, and the sense of community - and why residents see these changes so differently. It's a story about a small American town at a crossroads, and what its journey says about immigration, integration, and what it takes to keep a community together. #CortesInvestigates #MassMigration #Maine #Somali Basilica vs. Mosque - Mass Migration to Maine | Full Documentary

Featured guests include Kurt Schlichter, Susan Crabtree, Lauren Gruel, and Kristina Irwin — some of the brightest minds exposing California's wildfire crisis and political failures.

America's test scores are at historic lows and the system tasked with fixing it is quietly lowering the bar instead. This documentary investigates the collapse of public education across America, focusing on Wisconsin, once a model for public schooling, where reading and math scores have fallen years below grade level. We uncover how the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction responded to a crisis not by raising standards, but by rewriting what "passing" means. What we found: skyrocketing school budgets with plummeting outcomes, NDAs handed out at a taxpayer-funded conference at a water park, the widest Black-white achievement gap in the nation, and parents from Milwaukee to Eau Claire who are fighting back. Inside this documentary: - How reading and math test scores hit historic lows across the U.S. - Why Wisconsin's Department of Public Instruction lowered academic standards - The truth about education spending and why more money isn't helping students - Parents, homeschoolers, and school board members speak out - Why the 2026 Wisconsin governor's race could change everything for education Follow on X: https://x.com/CortesSteve Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/steve.cortes.413204 Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevecortes_/ Subscribe on Substack: https://www.cortesinvestigates.com/ Comment your thoughts or questions below. #cortesinvestigates #educationcrisis #publicschools #wisconsin #literacycrisis Failing America's Children: The Truth About Our Broken School System
