Although lately there is some concern about Islamic terrorists entering the U.S. just by walking across the undefended
border, this country's primary immigration problem involves Spanish-speaking people immigrating — often
illegally —
and failing to assimilate into the American mainstream. Of course, assimilation is much easier for those who learn to
speak English. No reasonable English-speaking person would
consider visiting or living in — or sneaking into — Mexico or Central America for more than a few hours
without knowing how to speak at least a little Spanish. The same is true of any other country. You wouldn't last
long in Germany without speaking German.
In my opinion, assimilation is impeded by Spanish-language broadcasting as much as anything else. If all US radio and
TV stations broadcast in English only, immigrants from other countries would be much less comfortable — they would
feel like foreigners — and they would have a powerful incentive to learn our language or go home.
That might sound heartless and mean, in the short term, but in the long run we would all be better off.
Consider the story of the Tower of Babel in the 11th chapter of Genesis. God himself inflicted multi-lingual
confusion as punishment in order to keep people from getting any work done. And it worked.
Of course, if I were living in poverty south of the border, I'd try to move to the U.S. myself. The United States is
such an attractive place that people are abandoning their homelands to sneak into this country any way they can. But
once they do, in my opinion, they should at least learn the language, demonstrate that they will be peaceful and productive
members of society, and try to blend in with everybody else. Otherwise, the great "melting pot" doesn't melt
anything. If there are people who want to come to this country so badly that they'll accept difficult jobs that nobody
else wants, that's great, but for everyone's benefit, we should all be able to communicate with one another.
The point of this page is that unrestricted immigration opens the door to terrorists, violent criminals, and people who are
only coming here to absorb benefits from the American taxpayer. Various subtopics are covered on pages of their own,
listed below.
President Bush sometimes says that illegal immigrants find work because they'll do "the jobs Americans don't want."
This makes a great sound bite for the evening news, but it is not entirely true. Hispanic immigrants from dirt-poor
countries south of the border are willing to do difficult, dirty, hot, degrading, and/or dangerous work for the minimum wage,
or less, and send a substantial portion of their earnings back to their home country. But employers can't find U.S.
citizens to do the work for (at least) two major reasons: One is a minimum wage that is too high, and the other is the multi-billion
dollar welfare state.
The
Unconstitutional Undermining of Our Constitutional Republic. I find it unconscionable
that we here in America are having this stuck-on-stupid back-and-forth conversation about illegal
immigration. Hey, McFly, the operative word is illegal, and yes, human beings can be
illegal. If someone breaks into your home, and they don't live there, they have illegally
entered. If someone decides to break in and take your car, and they are not on the
registration, they have illegally stolen your vehicle. Therefore, if you come into our
Country without an invite and proper documentation, you have committed an illegal act, and are
illegal. The U.S. Constitution in Article IV, Section 4, known as the Guarantee Clause,
firmly asserts that the federal government must guarantee to every State in the Union protection
from invasion. The video footage of illegal immigrants (foreign nationals) overrunning Texas
National Guard members at the border in El Paso is yet another example of the ongoing invasion by
millions into our Republic. And this is an invasion that is being aided and abetted by our
very own federal government, the Biden administration. To me, there is no greater example of
treason and an impeachable offense. But, it is not just that these leftists want the
purposeful, intentional, and willful invasion of drug, human, sex, and terrorist trafficking in our
Nation. They also seek to use this as a means to undermine our beloved Republic.
Simple As That.
The border invasion is an attack on the United States of America. Not exactly a steaming
headline perhaps, but nonetheless true. Yet, there are no troops, agents or cops on the
border to stop it. They're only there to manage it. That isn't an act of law
enforcement, it's a criminal act, a violation of law, not just treason. They are being told
to follow some policy, but that cannot conflict with duly passed laws, or it is an illegal
order. So many are guilty they have relative safety in numbers. The only way to
overcome that is to overwhelm them from the back. Everyone knows that American men, veterans,
former cops, whatever, should have been on the border themselves, pushing or making citizen arrests
of the lawless border patrol agents for treason and shipping them off to a citizen's
tribunal. But, that's not how we do things in America. We have the police arrest
criminals. We have the rule of law. Yeah? When? I've been waiting on a
number of different fronts. There's no rule of law, there's what you can force and what you
must endure. So, we don't do it that way anymore. Instead, we give up United States
territory to criminal gangs and cabals, foreign enemies and villains? That's the only
possible alternative to this lackluster, do nothing, concierge approach to criminal activity.
The
Deadly Folly of Our Open Border. Who is coming into America? Are we being
invaded? What about American resources? I don't mean minerals or timber, but
taxpayer-funded resources such as food, shelter, clothing, education, and health care. Our
border is not keeping anyone in, especially virtue-signaling celebrities promising to leave America
if a Republican is elected. [...] Since President Biden took office in early 2021, the Customs and
Border Protection Agency (CBP) has "encountered" almost 8 million border crossers, the majority
young military aged males. In August alone, that number was 232,972, an annualized rate of
3 million migrants a year. "Encounters" are only part of the story. How many snuck
through without being encountered? Those are called "gotaways". CBP reports 1,000 "known
gotaways" per day. [...] How many were undetected? That number is unknowable but the Center
for Immigration Studies estimates somewhere between 50 and 68 percent of illegal border crossers
are caught. How can they be sure?
The
Late Hour of Our Republic. [Scroll down] The government of the United
States is waging a war of treason against the people of the United States. It's inviting
enemies of the people from around the world into our neighborhoods, our schools, our hospitals with
the goal of displacing the people of the United States and bankrupting them, taking their property,
taking their lives. The first thing is to denounce the open border through every means of
media that you have at your disposal. Denounce any spending bill that does not include
spending on closing the border. What they call "border security" spending now simply means
hiring buses and planes to get more illegals into the country through the open border. The
funding has to be designated to closing the border, with a wall, with more guards, with the
military if that's what it takes. It cannot be tied to any other foreign aid; none for
Ukraine, none for Israel, until the border is secure.
Government
Accountability and Law Under the Left. Democrats may allow as many as 20 million
people to enter the country (this is now an invasion) if Biden clinches a second term and nothing
changes — despite having numerous laws on the books to recognize a national
border. Three facts must be soberly considered:
1. Due to dissolved borders
and subsequent backlogs, "asylum" applicants will not receive an asylum claim determination for
1,621 days (four years). That wait time is climbing, and some "asylum" seekers
have been given Notice to Appear letters as far out as ten years!
2. According to the Department
of Justice[,] "49% of all non-detained or removal cases completed in FY 2020 resulted in an
in-absentia order of removal due to an alien's failure to attend a scheduled immigration court
hearing." Add to that number the "gotaways" and you realize that there are tens of millions of
illegal immigrants living a permanent, unlawful existence here.
3. According to
USCIS data, only 31% of affirmative asylum petitions adjudicated in FY 2019 were approved.
Will we expel the other 69%, still entering by the millions? What about those who have been
here for years, some with American-born children? [...]
Considering that 69% of hearings result
in denial of the foreigner's asylum request and nearly half fail to show up for their hearings in
the first place, many illegally entering the country must eventually be deported. But, if the
system continues to incentivize illegal crossings, there can be no accountability for the invasion
openly pushed by the Biden administration. [...] Never is the question asked, "what rights do
native-born Americans possess?" It seems to be that anyone who sneaks across the border has
superior rights and extra protections; this must change.
Media midterm games at
border. More than 4 million people have entered the United States from Mexico under Biden, a record influx
that is larger than the population of every American city except New York. Nearly a million of those crossers
evaded detection, while most others were briefly detained but turned loose because they claimed asylum. After
border agents free them, usually with a court date years into the future, the government provides no services. The
migrants are on their own, with no right to work, making them dependent on charities and their new neighbors in Texas,
Arizona and elsewhere. It's an unbearable weight for border states, with some towns seeing their population grow
by hundreds of people every day. El Paso, Texas, says it gets about 1,400 newcomers each week. Governors,
mayors and residents in those states are beyond frustrated at Washington for causing the problem, then sticking them
with the burden and the bills.
New
York City's Self-Made Migrant Crisis. An immigrant is somebody with job skills
who is willing to learn English if he or she doesn't already know it, and wants to Americanize by
adopting our national values and culture. [...] A migrant is somebody who just walks across
the border the same way a burglar walks into your house, and acts as if he owns the place.
Here is a video of adult migrants in Hungary throwing away food that is given to them by the
police, although the children do appear grateful for the aid. Citizens and legal immigrants
in Texas feel unsafe in their own neighborhoods because of swarms of illegal migrants. The
bottom line is that these migrants would not come if they did not expect to be given more than
emergency food, shelter, and medical care. We don't let people starve or freeze on our streets,
nor do the Hungarians allow people to starve or freeze on theirs either, but taxpayers have no duty
to give them more than basic subsistence until they can be returned to their countries of origin.
Biden
administration rolls out new asylum restrictions mirroring Trump-era policy. The Biden administration
released a new rule Tuesday that largely bars migrants who traveled through other countries on their way to the
US-Mexico border from applying for asylum in the United States, marking a departure from decadeslong protocol. The
new 153-page proposed regulation, which could affect tens of thousands of people, is the most restrictive of a patchwork
of policies put in place by the Biden administration to try and manage the US-Mexico border and is reminiscent of a
Trump-era policy.
10 Steps to Save America.
We no longer have a southern border. There have been 5 million illegal border crossings just since Joe Biden took
office. He intentionally destroyed immigration law for cheap political advantage. Nearly 50 million current
American residents were not born in the United States. Well over 20 million — and perhaps 30 million —
are illegal aliens. [...] Yet we finally found a solution in 2019-2020. Had we continued replacing rickety border fencing
with an effective wall and then completed it along the entire border, had we stopped catch-and-release, had we continued
demanding that refugee status be obtained before entry, had we forced Mexico and Central American governments to stop
exporting human capital and subjected them to taxes on more than $60 billion in annual remittances (along with trade
penalties) for their complicity with the situation at the border, had we continued to deport those who entered
illegally, had we returned to assimilation and integration on the theory any who entered America did so because they
wanted to become Americans, then a desired legal, meritocratic, and diverse immigration policy might easily have
assimilated and absorbed perhaps 200,000 skilled and legal immigrants per year. Again, we had the outlines of a
solution and then simply destroyed it for liberal political agendas and cheap corporate labor.
Hell's
Kitchen public school overwhelmed with 100 migrant kids. More than 100 migrant kids flooded into one
Hell's Kitchen elementary school — swelling class sizes up to 38 students, The [New York] Post has
learned. The children — between 100 and 120 — were among the wave of asylum seekers pouring
into the Big Apple, including on buses from Texas, some staying at a nearby shelter. PS 111 on West 53rd Street
normally has class sizes of 25 to 30. As the classes filled with newcomers, the school wound up sending 15 of the kids
to nearby PS 51, where they were enrolled in "transitional bilingual" classes, according to a PS 111 insider. The
transitional program offers instruction in Spanish half of the year, and then gradually adds English. PS 111
further eased the crunch by starting its own transitional bilingual class, with 15 students. Another roughly 75
students stayed in regular classes, with an hour a day of English-language instruction. Their parents were offered
a choice of which approach to take.
Has
the US Government Declared War on Its Citizens? For more than forty years, Americans have begged the federal
government to put a stop to illegal immigration. Instead, Congress has done nothing but push various forms of amnesty
for those whose first act upon entering this country is to break its immigration laws. Rather than listening to voters
and securing our porous borders, lawmakers have chosen to ridicule Americans as xenophobic for daring to believe that it is
not healthy for the United States to have tens of millions of foreign nationals creating a parallel nation within our
own. Sex-trafficking, narco-terrorism, identity theft, drained public resources, and cultural clashes have all
accompanied a federal government policy that can be described, at best, as intentionally not enforcing existing immigration
law, or at worst, as willfully countermanding enforceable law by aiding and abetting border crossers with promises of social
welfare upon arrival and publicly funded relocation services across the continent. More and more Democrat-controlled
jurisdictions are going so far as to demand that illegal aliens be given the right to vote in elections, effectively
nullifying American citizens' votes with those of citizens of foreign nations.
Are
We in a Revolution and Don't Even Know It? If it is true that two million illegal aliens will cross the
southern border with impunity in the current fiscal year, then the Biden agenda is apparently to help erode the idea of
citizenship and anybody defined as an American. Under the socialist ethos, the indigent in Yucatan and the impoverished
migrant from Nigeria have as much right to enter and live in the United States as U.S. citizens. And their respective
rights under the living Constitution are now nearly identical. In just seven months, our southern border has
vanished. Apparently, it was an artificial construct that obstructed the migrations of the global community. We
are back to a natural, pre-civilizational and Rousseauian idea of freeing migrating tribes from the chains of civilization.
And what better way to start than dispensing with unique borders, citizenship, and the idea of a nation state?
The American Descent
into Madness. Two million people are anticipated to cross the southern border, en masse and illegally,
over a 12-month period. If that absurdity were to continue, we would be adding the equivalent of a major U.S. city
every year. The new arrivals have three things in common: Their first act was to break U.S. law by entering the
country. Their second was to break the law by residing here illegally. And their third will be to find false
identification or other illegal means to continue breaking the law. One does not arrive as a guest in a foreign country
and immediately violate the laws of his host — unless one holds those laws in contempt. Arrivals now cross a
border that had been virtually closed to illegal immigration by January 2021. In the cynical and immoral logic of
illegal immigration (that cares little for the concerns either of would-be legal immigrants or U.S. citizens), arrivals will
be dependent upon the state and thus become constituents of progressives who engineered their arrival. Yet the issue is
not illegal immigration per se. If protests were to continue in Cuba, and 1 million Cubans boated to
Miami, the Biden Administration would stop the influx, in terror that so many anti-Communists might tip Florida red
forever. How strange that the U.S. government is considering going door-to-door to bully the unvaccinated, even as it
ignores the daily influx of thousands from Mexico and Latin America, without worrying whether they are carrying or vaccinated
for COVID-19.
Illegal
immigration: A masterstroke in race-baiting. Our country is being fiercely attacked from within by the
Marxist mob movement. There are several areas of our society it is assaulting to overthrow our constitutional
government. The Democrats in Congress are strongly promoting an open border policy. They understand that large
influxes of illegal aliens could greatly affect the voting outcome of elections. It also would provide for slave labor
for companies, while at the same time lowering the standard of living for the American worker. The catastrophe at our
southwest border with the illegal invasion is immediately eliminating our sovereignty as a nation. We cannot be a free
and independent country without enforceable borders. The Marxists from the White House to the halls of Congress care
nothing about what this is doing to our country. The only thing they are concerned about is obtaining their communist
goals at the expense of our nation.
When
Wuhan Virus Departs, World Will Be Changed. [T]he United States has been under pressure from the Democrats to
render the southern border with Mexico effectively nugatory, blocking President Donald Trump's wall at every turn in the
courts, ignoring federal authority regarding immigration, and doing their best to prevent Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) from arresting and deporting criminal illegal aliens. Just a few days ago, presumptive Democratic nominee Joe
Biden was calling Trump's handling of the Wuhan virus crisis "xenophobic." But now that the virus has shut down commerce and
travel from New York to California, Americans are less tolerant of law-flouting than they were a month ago. That old
folks should be confined to quarters for up to four months while the homeless turn the sidewalks into open-air latrines,
Hollywood, the lifeblood of Los Angeles, essentially shuts down production, and movie theaters across the nation close.
As 30,000 illegals continue to cross the southwest border per month, open borders have suddenly become a luxury even a
liberal can no longer afford.
Mass
Migration Is Immoral. When countries, particularly wealthy ones, open their borders to mass migration, it
inevitably creates a vacuum that draws millions, if not billions, of the rest of the world's population. It's often a
dangerous journey, and many die on the way. Certainly, should they make it, their lives can be improved from what they
were. But, would the world truly be a better place if all who would live somewhere else got their wish? What
about those left twisting in the wind in the countries migrants are fleeing from? Those too poor, too frail, too tied
down, or even too afraid to make the move? Assuming, as the left is prone to do, that all or even most migrants are
'good people,' does it negatively impact their countries of origin to lose so many 'good people,' people who, were they to
take positive action where God placed them, could make their own country a better place?
Immigration
Hurts American Workers. Consider that more than 45 million legal immigrants currently reside in America.
On top of this there are at least another 20 million illegal migrants. And yet, American wages are actually lower
than they were in 1973. If immigration is so good for American workers, then why did wages stagnate when the era of mass
migration began? Why do we see wages rise after crackdowns on illegal aliens and "temporary" foreign workers time and time
again? Why is California — an immigrant magnet — America's poorest state, "home" to 170,000 homeless
Americans who are the victims of an income distribution more inequitable than Guatemala's? Contrast this with Japan.
Since 1980, Japan's GDP growth per capita has actually outpaced America's — despite the fact that Japan has next to
no immigration. How is it possible that Japan has prospered without benefiting from the "economic rocket fuel" that
is mass immigration? Could it be that the libertarians are wrong?
How
we became the world's suckers on immigration. The United States is one of only two developed countries in the
world (the other is Canada, and even it has some restrictions we don't have) with full "birthright citizenship," meaning that
any child born when his mother was physically present within the geographical borders of the U.S. automatically gets a U.S.
birth certificate and a Social Security card. That means legal immigrants, pregnant women sneaking in on tourist visas,
travelers on a three-week vacation, cheap foreign workers on "temporary" visas and, in some cases, foreign diplomats.
And that's not all. We're the only country but two that confers automatic citizenship on children born to illegal
aliens, or "anchor babies." This is not "birthright citizenship," which refers to children born to legal immigrants.
Immigration: The Path
To Power. MIT says our illegal immigrant population is about 22 million. Yale says it is between 16 and
30 million. The 11 million figure so popular in the media is ridiculous and a total lie. The
Democrat leadership desperately needs new Democrats to fill the empty space left by former middle-class Democrats they have
long abandoned. This is not about some new healthcare program or race relations or whatever. They could not care
less. It is about power. Every Democrat presidential candidate is united on this.
Trump
is not a racist; he's pushing the Overton window to normal. It was not so long ago that we expected people who came to
America as immigrants to (a) recognize that they were invited guests, rather than entitled squatters; and (b) not to
bad mouth their new country. I know what I'm talking about, for I grew up in a world of immigrants. Not only did my
parents come from another country, so did all of their friends, as well as the parents of my own friends. All of these
immigrants, without exception, came here legally with some, such as my father, a Polish citizen, waiting years before they were
allowed in thanks to national quotas. All of these immigrants, without exception, either had to bring money with them or
have someone sponsor them so that they did not become a charge on the public. And all of these immigrants, without exception,
worked hard. Some made it financially; some, like my father, never did. But all of them recognized that their being in
America was a rare privilege.
Trump vs.
the Radical Squad. The founding fathers were not against immigration per se. Neither is President
Trump. However, the founding fathers, like President Trump, believe that immigrants who are admitted to this country
should serve the interests of American citizens, not the other way around. [...] The Democrat Party is becoming the party of
open borders, led by the four radical congresswomen who do not want any enforcement of our nation's immigration laws,
let alone the closing of any loopholes.
A
look at all of Trump's enemies: [#1] The Democratic Party. The sanctuary party is blocking urgent legislative
immigration reform. Democrats' top priority is to flood the U.S. with millions of illegals, and then, one day, when
they control Congress and the White House, declare them all voting citizens. Using the chain migration laws, if each
immigrant sponsors ten relatives to be admitted, 30 million illegals legalized yields 300 million new American
voters. In the meantime, they intend to nibble around the fringes with assorted voting frauds like DMV and same-day
voter registration, liberal mail-in voting, and ballot-harvesting. Importing a new dependent underclass is part of
the Democrats' new DNA. Any attempt at integrity of the ballot is vilified. Any legislative effort to reform
immigration is a call to arms for the Left. They even scoff at describing the horde of invaders as a "crisis."
The
folly of free healthcare for everybody in the world. "Mexican immigration over the border is a good thing," the
late Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman said in a famous 1978 lecture, before stipulating, "but it's only good so
long as it's illegal." Friedman, a libertarian icon and champion of the economic benefits of free immigration, had very
little in common with today's Trumpists on this issue. But he explained a paradox of illegal immigration this way:
"as long as it's illegal the people who come in do not qualify for welfare, they don't qualify for Social Security, they
don't qualify for all the other myriads of benefits that we pour out from our left pocket into our right pocket, and so, as
long as they don't qualify, they migrate to jobs. They take jobs that most residents of this country are unwilling to
take, they provide employers with workers of a kind they cannot get — they're hard workers, they're good
workers — and they are clearly better off."
To
be a nation of laws, we must enforce those laws. The Left constantly argues that illegal aliens are Americans
who simply haven't received the proper paperwork. But we expect Americans to obey the law, and particularly to conform
to judicial orders. In fact, we impose fines, sanctions, and even jail time when people fail to follow court-issued
orders. Americans even expect the president to comply with judicial orders. After all, they are orders and not
requests. Right now, we have 1 million individuals illegally in America who have been told by a judicial officer, "you
must leave our country," but they refuse to leave. That means that, not just by virtue of legal process or by entering
or remaining in the country illegally, these people do not share American values. These illegal aliens are thumbing
their nose at the underpinnings of America's unique greatness: All of us are equal before the law.
Laura
Ingraham Understands the End Goal of Mass Migration. On a podcast episode, she claims that Democrats "value the
benefits that illegal immigrants will get over the value of a sovereign and independent and free nation, that is well within
its sovereign right to enforce her borders." Ingraham also noted that Democrats would always retort that "We're for
legal immigration." But now with how entrenched mass migration has become, she understands what is truly at play. No,
you're for replacing the current American population, or swamping the current American population, with a new population of
people who are perhaps more hospitable to socialist ideals.
Christians
Don't Have to Support Open Borders. There is no doubt that Christians must have a special concern for the
plight of refugees — those who are forced from their homes either because of natural disasters or man-made
calamities; indeed, that is a constant teaching of the Catholic Church. Even refugees, however, do not have an
unqualified right of entry; their entry claims must always be weighed against our duty to accept them. The test is
whether their entry benefits and is in the interest of American citizens. We can think of a sliding scale that presents
a different moral calculation depending on the classification of those who seek entry: refugees, criminals, and economic
migrants. As we've seen, on one end of the spectrum are refugees. But even they do not have a presumptive right
of entry, though they certainly have a very strong claim. The easiest case involves criminals and others who wish to
strike at the heart of civil society — whether they plan to do it at the border or are likely to become involved
in such destabilizing activity after they're admitted. These persons can be excluded categorically; their interests
weigh not at all on the scale, and the United States is not in any way obligated to admit them.
Why amnesty
isn't the answer. With the news full of reports about more caravans headed for the border and immigration
agents overwhelmed by surging numbers of migrants seeking asylum, it may seem like an odd time for our leaders in Washington
to be proposing amnesty. Yet that's what happened recently, as speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi proudly announced a
proposal that would allow more than 2 million aliens to apply for U.S. citizenship. Contrast this overture against
President Trump's immigration agenda — a robust physical barrier, asylum reform, and an end to catch-and-release,
among others — and it's clear that America is at a crossroads with not only our immigration policy, but our
long-range direction as a nation. An apolitical assessment of the situation would raise a simple question: what is
truly in the best long-term interests of the country? When viewed through that prism, it is crystal-clear that more
amnesty is not the answer.
Cost
to U.S. Taxpayers $5.3 Billion: 429,000 Annual Immigrant Birth Costs. Hidden in every federal budget, and
unknown to 99 percent of Americans, your two U.S. Senators and House member use your money to pay for millions of legal and
illegal immigrants flooding into America annually. [...] • [L]egal immigrants accounted for 12.4 percent
(494,000) of all births annually and illegal immigrants accounted for 7.5 percent (297,000) annually.
• The 297,000 births per year to illegal immigrants are more than the total number of births to all mothers in
any state except California and Texas. They are also more than the total number of births in 16 states combined, plus
the District of Columbia. • The estimated 28,000 births to illegal immigrants in just the Los Angles
metro area are more than the total number of births in any of 14 states or the District of Columbia. •
More than half (54 percent) of births to immigrants (legal and illegal) are entirely or largely paid for by taxpayers
because the mother is on Medicaid or uninsured. • Illegal immigrants account for 11 percent (198,000)
of all publicly funded births, and legal immigrants are another 13 percent (231,000). • We roughly
estimate that the annual cost to taxpayers for births to immigrants (legal and illegal) is $5.3 billion; $2.4 billion
of which is for illegal immigrants.
Immigration
to America Is Not What It Used to Be. [#4] Immigrants today arrive via 10-hour hops on an
airliner. In the past, waves of immigrants spent 10 months traversing land and sea in a journey of staggering expense
and significant dangers. While this isn't universally true, particularly for the overland migrants that cross America's
southern border, the general point stands: coming to America today does not require the commitment it required in the
past. [#5] Similarly, in the past, immigrants pretty much renounced their countries of origin. They
made a one-way trip and they adopted the language and values of America. Today, retaining cultural unity with one's
country of origin is a few clicks on the internet, a cheap telephone call, an affordable airfare. [...] [#6]
Immigrants in the past arrived in an America that had a voracious need for unskilled workers. Today the American
economy is relentlessly automating jobs that used to require unskilled labor, and the American population already has a
surplus of unskilled workers. [#7] Immigrants today are arriving in a welfare state, where they are assured
of food, shelter, and medical care that are, in general, orders of magnitude better than anything available to them in their
native countries. This creates a completely different incentive to today's immigrants. In past centuries,
immigrants came to America to find freedom and to work. Today they are offered a smorgasbord of taxpayer-funded social
services. [#8] Immigrant students today — especially in the coastal urban centers where most of
them settle — enter a public education system that teaches them with a reverse-racist, anti-capitalist bias.
They are taught in our public schools not to assimilate, but to "celebrate diversity"; not to earn opportunities through hard
work, but through fighting discrimination.
The
Constitution Isn't in Crisis, but the Border Still Is. The Republican-controlled Senate on Thursday [3/14/2019]
followed the lead of the Democratic House and voted to disapprove President Trump's declaration of a national emergency at
the southern border. The success of the disapproval vote was expected in the House, where Democrats keep waving their
arms and saying "It's fine!" while women and children are violently sexually assaulted, the highest number of
arrests at the border since 2008 are tallied, sanctuary cities are protecting murderers, and drug seizures are up at a time
when drugs are killing more people than guns, car crashes, or HIV/AIDS ever did in a single year.
The
Game Is Rigged. We currently grant one million legal permanent residencies to people from around the world every
year. The number of green card holders is expected to increase by 10 million by 2025. That's more than the
current combined population of Dallas, St. Louis, Denver, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Atlanta. Now multiply
that number by at least three and a half. Thanks to our chain migration system, created in 1952 and expanded exponentially
by Congress in 1965 and 1990, these new immigrants can sponsor their entire extended families: parents, spouses, adult
children and their children, and siblings and their children. Princeton University researchers found that recently
admitted immigrants sponsored an average of 3.45 additional relatives each. An estimated 85,000 refugees and 20,000-plus
asylees enter the country annually through an overwhelmed system so rife with fraud and abuse that the process is jokingly dubbed
"refugee roulette" by immigration lawyers. In total, from fiscal year 2008 to 2017, the U.S. gave green cards to more than
2 million migrants for various humanitarian claims — a population larger than the city of Philadelphia.
Nearly half a million more immigrants in that time frame got in through the diversity visa lottery. Illegal aliens are
eligible if a legal family member wins the jackpot.

Are Border Crisis Deniers. We are facing a dozen crises at our border. They are impossible to miss:
We are facing an illegal immigration crisis. Our nation is being overrun. Democrats can't see it. They are
in denial. We are facing an illegal alien crime wave in America. How many more innocent American children and
cops must die before we acknowledge the crisis? Democrats can't see it. They are in denial. There is an
illegal alien gang crisis. MS-13 is filling our streets with cold-blooded killers. [...] There is a child sex
trafficking crisis. [...] There is a drug trafficking crisis. [...] There is a prison crisis. Our prisons are filled
with illegal aliens who have committed serious crimes such as rape and murder. Why should we pay the bill? [...] There
is the threat of a disease epidemic. Whether it's tuberculosis or this new polio-like disease that leaves children
paralyzed overnight, who knows what new diseases and tragedies are coming in through that open border? [...] There is a
welfare and national debt crisis. Millions of illegal aliens already in our country cost over $160 billion per
year in welfare, food stamps, court, police and prison costs. More come every day.
Each
illegal immigrant costs US $82G, conservative think tank claims. Every new illegal immigrant that enters the
United States will cost more than $82,000 each over their lifetime, a conservative think tank that advocates for lower
immigration levels has claimed. The Center for Immigration Studies updated their 2012 analysis which put the average
lifetime net fiscal cost of a border crosser at $74,722. In the six years since, the price has jumped to $82,191.
The think tank's analysis has come into question however, with multiple outlets pushing back on its numbers and methodology.
The new figure by the CIS estimates what it takes to protect the border, educate, house and feed illegal immigrants and makes
the assumption they will spend a lifetime on various welfare programs.
The
Absurdity of an Open Border. Both parties want an unrestricted flood of immigrants to America, but for
different reasons. Democrats want a permanent underclass that reliably votes Democrat. Republicans want cheap
labor to keep their Chamber of Commerce donors happy. Neither party acknowledges any negative consequences of the
current open borders policy, allowing far more than voters and workers to enter our country. Ignored are the contagious
diseases, still uncommon in America, being brought across the borders. Or the criminals we read about daily in the
news, raping and killing Americans. Not to mention potential terrorists.
Illegal Aliens
Cost Taxpayers $100+ Billion Annually. [Scroll down] In fact, if all Americans paid taxes at the same
rate illegal aliens did, the budget deficit would be at least quadruple what it is now. According to prior estimates of
mine based off the size of the 2017 labor force, if we were to replace the entire labor force with illegal immigrants and
have them pay all their taxes (including state and local) to the feds, the federal government would've collected approximately
$240 billion in tax revenue in 2017, as opposed to the $3.3 trillion that the Federal government actually collected.
Trump
should shut down the southern border AND the government until we fix our immigration system. By some estimates,
the cost of illegal immigrants in the country is costing the American taxpayer between $116-$134 billion annually. Now
we find out in the last few weeks that 63 percent of non-citizens, half of which are here illegally, are on some form of
welfare — again, funded by the American taxpayer. And the longer non-citizens are in the country, the more
likely they are to be on some form of welfare. If they've been here ten years or more, the percentage goes up to
70 percent. For comparison, only about 30 percent of native-born American citizens are on some form of welfare.
Now take in those statistics and throw in the fact that over the next 20 years between 7 to 8 million new immigrants
will come into the United States via chain migration. Statistics show that those immigrants, by a two to one margin, favor the
Democratic Party. Why? Because they want a greater welfare state.
Democrats
Deny These Immigration Truths. Both the Senate and the House oath of offices are nearly identical. They
begin like this: "I do solemnly swear or affirm that I will support and defend the constitution of the United States
against all enemies foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same." At this point, are we
even sure that Chuck and Nancy took the oath? I have a news flash for the dynamic duo: When migrants illegally
cross our borders, whether they come to work or to collect welfare, using false documents, whether they come to deal drugs or
join murderous gangs that are already here, this does constitute a foreign enemy action.
The
Word 'Mean' is Leftists' Lethal Weapon. Fully supported by American leftists, illegals are [defying America].
They are invading our country whether we like it or not, arrogantly breaking our immigration laws. They demand to feed
on our welfare safety-net set up for Americans. Outrageously, Obama gave illegals freebies unavailable to
Americans — free attorneys and more. Obama used taxpayers' money to spend over 60 grand per illegal to
settle them in America. We spend $11 to $22 billion each year on freebies for illegals. Obama spread
illegals around the country, irresponsibly putting medically untested children of illegals into our schools infecting our
kids with strange diseases. [...] The illegals invading our country today have no desire to become Americans; no desire to
assimilate. Quite the opposite. Illegals give learning English, embracing our culture, and honoring our flag
their middle fingers. Fake news hides the fact that many of the thousands of young men illegally invading our country
are known gang members.
Alternatives
to the Nihilistic Futility of Mass Immigration. [Scroll down] None of this is sustainable.
Socialism, whether through foreign aid to developing nations, or through more government benefits approved with the swing
voters coming from developed nations, eventually collapses. Productive citizens, outvoted, overtaxed, and
disenfranchised in their own nations, lose their incentives to work hard. This leads to several inevitable
conclusions. First, it is beyond the capacity of developed nations to accommodate ongoing migrations from the
developing world. Just the increase in Africa's population each decade exceeds the entire current population of the
United States or Western Europe. Second, current foreign aid policies are completely unsustainable, because they
facilitate this population increase without improving any of the other "humanitarian indicators" that might lead to a
cultural shift towards lower birth rates. Third, while it is possible to decouple economic growth from environmental
degradation, the more people there are, the harder that gets.
No Country for Caravans.
Right now, just beyond our southern border are hundreds of foreign nationals champing at the bit to violate our sovereignty. They
have no regard for our laws or for our way of life and we are not now prepared, or even willing, to instill such regard in them.
They will soon be joined by thousands more, and, if this wave is successful in penetrating our borders, perhaps millions more will be
emboldened to come. Will Trump find the resolve that Reagan could not muster? Or will he capitulate like his predecessors
and let our sovereignty go quietly into the night?
Stop
the caravan and build the wall to keep deadly drugs out and save lives. A perfect storm is brewing in the
Southern Hemisphere and making its way north to the United States. Heroin, fentanyl and other opioids already pour
through America's southern border and this infiltration is one of three elements that will feed the perfect storm.
Every day, 115 Americans die from opioid overdoses and from tainted drugs passing through our border with Mexico. The
second element is MS-13, the brutal gang that is a drug courier of choice used by the Mexican drug cartels for distribution
of these drugs within the United States. When these two elements are mixed with the third element — the
caravan of several thousand people, mostly men, seeking to break through our southern border — you complete a
toxic combination leading to a perfect storm.
Border
surge highest since 2011; each illegal immigrant costs $70,000 — 7x deportation price. The net costs
to taxpayers for every illegal immigrant who sneaks into the United States has reached nearly $70,000, about seven times the
cost of deporting them, and about $70 billion, according to a new report. And, according to federal Census data, the
surge of legal and illegal immigrants across the Mexico-U.S. border has reached a new high since 2011 and matched the historic
high of 1.75 million set in 1999. The latest Census data from 2016 shows that immigrants continue to come into the
United States, both legally and illegally, and the costs to taxpayers in enforcement and social services continues to
rise — even when offset by the taxes they pay.
Immigration —
The left's recruiting tool and deceptive marketing ploy. [#1] 40% of all workers in LA County (10.2
million people) are working for cash; and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants,
working without a green card. (Donald Trump was right) [#2] 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for
illegal aliens. [#3] 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens. [#4] Over
2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by
taxpayers. [#5] Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals; they are here
illegally. [#6] Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages. [#7] The FBI
reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border. [#8]
Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal. [#9] 21 radio stations in LA are
Spanish-speaking. [#10] In LA County, 5.1 million people speak English; 3.9 million, speak Spanish.
(There are 10.2 million people, in LA County. (All 10 of the above facts were published in the Los Angeles Times) Less
than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States' annual population growth,
(and over 90% of California, Florida and New York), results from Immigration. Also, 29% of inmates in federal prisons are
illegal aliens. But the left feels that pandering to the masses of border crossers will lead to a tantalizing treasure trove
of steady stalwart supporters ensuring decades if not generations of liberal control.
No
justice for taxpaying Americans. There are two systems of justice, but it's not so much about race as it is
about immigration status. If you're an American, chances are you get hard time. If you're an illegal immigrant,
you get everything, and I do mean everything, including an EBT card, MassHealth and a Sect. 8 housing certificate.
First, when the "racist" cops say you have the right to remain silent, the illegal says "no habla" English. He gets
a translator. He claims he's "indigent," so he gets a public defender. If he's charged with OUI, the public
defender hires a psychologist (also on the taxpayers' dime) to say that the illegal immigrant "lacks the enzyme" to
metabolize alcohol and thus can't be held accountable for killing some gringo. But the real double standard kicks in
when the undocumented Democrat gets to the courtroom. A taxpaying American can only dream of the kid-gloves treatment
these Third World fiends get.
Open
Borders Are Not Libertarian So Long As America Is A Welfare State. "Progressives" have been calling for unrestricted
immigration, for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and for granting voting rights to illegal immigrants. "Open
borders" advocates decry opponents as racist. [...] Slightly over one-fourth of the children in the United States are now either
immigrants or the children of immigrants. Since the total expenditures on public schooling in the U.S. is almost
$700 billion per year, this cost is far greater than the GDP gains cited by Dalmia, and greater than the $50 billion
she cites for "The Wall." It's also greater than the annual $104 billion for food stamps, the $46 billion for
Section 8 housing programs, or the $30 billion for Aid to Families with Dependent Children for all residents, citizen
or non-citizen. Immigrants also use other social services, but public education for all children residing in the United
States is mandatory. In nineteenth-century America, supposedly with the open borders policies libertarians favor,
immigrant children were not legally excluded from the labor market or mandated a public education.
The
Republican Party: Not Much of a Horse But the Only One in the Corral. The first economic consequence of
mass immigration is lower labor costs across the economy, from lettuce pickers to computer programmers, and that pushes
historic quantities of money up to America's corporate owners and executives. The working and middle classes endure the
economic downside in the form of fewer jobs and much lower wages. This has all been discussed ad nauseam before.
But it can't be repeated too often: Mass immigration has been an economic bonanza for major owners and executives and
an economic disaster for the other 80% of the population.
No One Has
A 'Right' To Immigrate Into The United States. Is there a human right to immigrate? Many defenders
of open borders think so. Individuals, they argue, are entitled to freedom of movement, which entails the right to
immigrate from one country to another. This view has found support in the newly elected president of Mexico, who
remarked that there is a "human right" to move to the United States. This appeal to freedom of movement is dubious
argument for a number of reasons. For starters, freedom of movement is not unlimited: my freedom of movement
does not give me the right to move into your home.
The Left Want to Abolish ICE.
What Does That Mean? ICE is a division within the Department of Homeland Security that is responsible for
immigration enforcement, smuggling investigations, and terrorism prevention. It's split into several subdivisions,
including Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), which actually carries out arrests and deportations, and Homeland
Security Investigations (HSI), which tackles drug- and terrorism-related issues. ICE has about 20,000 employees, with
400 offices and $6 billion in annual funding. ICE is not the entity directly responsible for policing the
border — that is Customs and Border Protection, although ICE does deport some of the people CBP apprehends.
ICE is also not the entity responsible for the recent family separation controversy — that is CBP again, which
apprehends immigrants at the border, and the Department of Justice, which prosecutes them.
Invasion U.S.A.
This is no longer immigration, this is an invasion to take advantage of our wealth, culture and resources. As radio
talk show host Michael Savage recently said, "The lifeboat is full." I think it is tipping over. If a million, or more,
armed men crossed our border, or any border, it would be considered an invasion. Yet, if the same number of men, women
and children illegally cross our borders, unarmed, seeking our wealth and playing upon our kindness, we are expected to
welcome them with open arms.
Democracy
requires borders. It was telling to watch how Democrats and left-wing commentators responded. Having shed
tears all week about family separation and traumatized children, Trump's opponents began objecting to any detention of
families entering the U.S. illegally. A chorus of critics described the new policy as "handcuffs for all." An MSNBC
host portrayed as a dark "totalitarian" act the very idea of a border guard stopping and arresting an illegal immigrant.
Behind these objections is a premise that goes unstated because it is radical and deeply unpopular. It is that border
enforcement is itself illegitimate.
The
Asylum Crisis Is a Security Challenge, Not a Legal Problem. Congress cannot enact a law that prevents Central
American migrants from flooding the border. Or, one supposes, it can enact a thousand such laws and look on in
Canute-like futility as the incursion continues. Passing laws is not a serious response to a security challenge, and an
unserious response always emboldens the challenger. Outsiders can overwhelm a national border by armed force or, if the
nation is not willing to defend its border, by sheer numbers. Either way, the challenge can be answered only by the
deployment of physical barriers and armed force sufficient to deny the onslaught and discourage others from coming.
Only after the crisis is over, after the security threat is contained, can we establish a legal process backed by resources
scaled to handle the number of outsiders realistically expected to petition for entry.
The
immorality of the open-borders Left. We have two choices when it comes to border security and interior
enforcement. We can continue telegraphing the message that when you come here with children you are home free.
This will continue fueling the drug crisis, growing MS-13, enriching the drug cartels, inducing sex trafficking and terrible
crimes at the border, encouraging illegals to kidnap children to gain admission, and causing death and mayhem on both sides
of the border. Or we could finally deter this behavior by announcing an end to any immigration requests not processed
in a controlled environment through our embassy. If you are concerned about "separating children" and don't support the
latter path, then you need to seriously examine your values and priorities. The entirety of the epidemic-level increase
in both drugs and MS-13 began around 2014-2015 with the rise of UACs and the collapse of interior enforcement against
criminal alien drug trafficking networks operating in our major cities. That was all precipitated by the rise of the
"dreamer" political movement incentivizing people to come here as children or to bring children here to gain admission
through catch-and-release.
The Education
America Needs. We spend billions every year on illegal immigration; that is, on persons who drive down wages
even as they contribute nothing to the welfare state from which they derive a great deal. (Studies estimate that 50 to
60 percent of illegal immigrants receive entitlements.) Not to mention the many crimes — drug-related
and otherwise — that result from such illegal entry.
Pelosi's 'Immoral, Ineffective and Expensive' Argument.
If you try to attend next month's Super Bowl at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, you better have a ticket or some other type
of pass that allows you to legally enter the facility. If you don't, you won't get in. They have built a great
big beautiful wall around that field, which, according to the stadium's website, was constructed with $1.129 billion in
private and public money. To enter, you will need to pass through a gate, where people will verify whether you have the
right to do so. Because of this, you can bet almost no one will migrate from other parts of the country or the world
to see if they can illegally penetrate the security around the Super Bowl and attend the game for free. They know they
cannot succeed. So, they will not try. That will also spare them the misery of standing outside in Minnesota in
February. The NFL [...] is more serious about border security at its stadiums than Congress has been in recent decades
about border security in the American southwest.
How to Report Illegal Aliens.
Under federal law, any non-U.S. citizen is an alien. Aliens who have entered the United States without permission, or
who have violated the terms of their admission, are identified under the law as illegal aliens. That is a fact, not an
issue for debate. It doesn't matter whether someone crossed our nation's borders illegally or overstayed a visa, their
presence in the country is illegal which makes them deportable under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The
U.S. Has More Immigrants Than Any Other Country. A new study by the Pew Research Center shows that the U.S. has
more than 40 million immigrants, more than any other country in the world. It also takes in about one-fifth of the
world's total migrants. The report looks at trends from 1960 to 2015. According to the report in 2015 the U.S. hit a
record high of 43.2 million immigrants accounting for 13.4% of the population, the same number that is used by the Center of
Immigration Studies. This is four times higher than in 1960 when only 9.7 million immigrants lived in the U.S.,
accounting for only 5.4% of the population.
The Case Against
Immigration. In the United States, there is strong evidence that the national interest has not been well served by the country's
immigration policy over the last five decades. Even as levels of immigration have approached historic highs, debate on the topic has been
subdued, and policymakers and opinion leaders in both parties have tended to overstate the benefits and understate or ignore the costs of
immigration. It would make a great deal of sense for the country to reform its immigration policies by more vigorously enforcing existing
laws, and by moving away from the current system, which primarily admits immigrants based on family relationships, toward one based on the
interests of Americans.
Law
Takes a Holiday. The law states that foreign nationals cannot enter and permanently reside in the United States
without going through a checkpoint and in most cases obtaining a legal visa or green card. But immigration law has been
all but ignored. Or it was redefined as not committing additional crimes while otherwise violating immigration law.
Then the law was effectively watered down further to allow entering and residing illegally if not committing "serious" crimes.
Now, the adjective "serious" is being redefined as something that does not lead to too many deportations. The logical
end is no immigration law at all — and open borders.
The
Mainstream Media Have Forfeited All Respect. In 1988 there were 16 million immigrants (including fewer than 1 million
illegal aliens) living in the United States. Today, that number has skyrocketed to 42.4 million (including an estimated 12 million
illegal aliens). This enormous increase (165%) in the immigrant population (while the overall population growth was just 29%) has not
only put pressure on a stagnant job market, but also has been a major factor in the decline of median income in the country as well as
skyrocketing public spending. Rather than report the facts, the media chose instead to highlight human-interest stories about the
plight of an illegal immigrant family whenever one could be found, to extensively and sympathetically cover immigrant marches and
demonstrations, to highlight accusations of alleged xenophobia and intolerance, and generally be an ombudsman for the immigrant population.
These
16 quotes prove America can exclude or deport any immigrant — for any reason. The ubiquitous notion among the
political and legal establishment that there are any constitutional limitations on our sovereign right to exclude any
immigrant for any reason is the most dangerous constitutional crisis we are facing in the coming months. It is one of
the reasons why I wrote "Stolen Sovereignty" — as a reminder of our history, traditions, and laws on immigration
and sovereignty. Based on 200 years of case law, the accepted laws of nation states, and the principles of the social
compact, popular sovereignty, and jurisdictional sovereignty, the American people — as expressed through their
elected representatives — have the right to exclude or deport any non-citizen for any reason. The prudence
of such a move is a political question best dealt with by the political branches of government depending on the situation at
hand. But the courts have absolutely no ability to force the political branches to allow aliens to remain in this
country against statutes passed by Congress. There is no due process for aliens to remain in the country in the same
way non-citizens have full due process when facing jail time or indefinite detention. That is the most settled area of
law. Even those who aren't politically comfortable with exercising this power to the max must concede that it is a
dangerous proposition to cede the legal right to exercise that power.
Time
for a Complete Halt on All Immigration. This is a serious proposal — and a necessary one.
Consider: with the U.S. having a replacement-level fertility rate of 2.1 children per woman, immigration is the only
reason our population is increasing. As to this, our numbers have swelled from 100 million people in 1915 to 200 million
in 1968 to 320 million today. And it's projected they will reach approximately 400 million just after 2050.
Obviously, such growth involves strain on natural resources, social services and infrastructure. Yet while the Left purports
to care about the environment, it also pursues open-border policies with jihadist-like zeal. But when will enough population
be enough? When it stands at 450 million? A half billion? A billion? The Left likes to push "family
planning." But what about national-family planning?
30
to 40 Million Illegals Can Be Deported. The first thing to recognize is that the illegal alien problem arose because of the 1987 Reagan
Amnesty nearly 30 years ago. By some estimates, up to 40 million people have entered the USA illegally since that time, so encouraging
them to leave may take an extended period of time as well. [...] Somehow, the left and corporatist right have come to believe that our country would
collapse without illegal immigration and open borders. We should remind those bleeding hearts who support the invasion of our country by
third-worlders that, for example, fresh produce somehow made its way to market before 1987 without illegals living here. Note also that
countries with strict immigration policies and zero illegal immigration enjoy ample supplies of fruits and vegetables.
Immigration,
the Supreme Court and President Obama. In 2014, President Barack Obama signed 12 executive orders directing
various agencies in the departments of State, Justice and Homeland Security to refrain from deporting some 4 million adult
immigrants illegally present in the United States if they are the parents of children born here or legally present here and
if they hold a job, obtain a high-school diploma or its equivalent, pay taxes and stay out of prison. Unfortunately for
the president, the conditions he established for avoiding deportation had been rejected by Congress. In response to the
executive orders, 26 states and the House of Representatives sued the president and the recipients of the orders, seeking
to prevent them from being enforced.
How
The Cloward-Piven Strategy Is Driving The United States To Collapse. Illegal Immigration on its own is already one of the
most important threats to the future of the United States, because it reflects a deliberate attempt by our political elite to displace and
supplant its native population with one that will always vote for them, remain dependent on welfare, and take jobs from Americans by working
"under the table" at wages that American citizens cannot survive on. This raises a logical question: if illegal immigration
already displaces such a great number of Americans and creates so much controversy and strife, why keep bringing in as many as possible?
A further question to ask is why do so now, as opposed to waiting until the economy is better? Our nation is nowhere near the point of
recovery since nearly 50% of Americans are already on one form or another of government assistance, our nation has an interest rate student
loan bubble that will both burst soon, and an economy that is either being outsourced or stolen by thieves with H1B visas. All of these
factors clearly show that our nation is at its breaking point, yet we have a political elite that wishes to first enact unconditional amnesty
and then import migrants from shady 3rd world countries. Any rational observer will realize that adding 13 million MORE welfare,
public assistance or student loan recipients may likely cause the entire system to collapse due to inefficiency and a lack of adequate funding.
Chilling
Timeline: Obama's Dismantling of U.S. Immigration Laws. The Federation for American Immigration Reform
(FAIR) has recently released a video they call a summary of the "Obama Immigration Policy Timeline Wrecking Ball" which
outlines steps Obama has taken from the beginning of his presidency to dismantle enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.
The video also shows how Hillary Clinton assisted his actions. The video is a must see by every American. It
explains what Obama meant when he promised to "fundamentally transform" America. One of the reasons why President Obama
is so concerned about Donald Trump winning the White House in 2016, is because Trump has built his campaign around the
promise of stopping illegal immigration and building a wall on the Mexican border. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton has
embraced illegal immigrants, promising to enact amnesty within her first 100 days in office and said she will "fight
for immigration reform that provides a full and equal path to citizenship." [Video clip]
Timely news and commentary:
Fifth
Circuit continues block on Texas immigration law. A divided appeals court said in a
late-night ruling that a controversial Texas immigration law cannot go into effect as the state
appeals a ruling that blocked it. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals handed down the 2-1
ruling regarding Senate Bill 4 on Tuesday night, just a week after it had previously blocked the
law, which — if enforced — would allow law enforcement in Texas to arrest
suspected illegal immigrants and allow state judges to deport them. The court noted that this
tends to be the jurisdiction of the federal government.
Biden
Is Considering Illegal Immigrant Amnesty. I completely missed a barnburner of a story
buried in a Politico report on why Biden hasn't been doing anything to douse the political fire
caused by the border crisis. Rather than taking executive actions to appear tougher on border
crossers, Biden is actually considering going in the opposite direction and granting amnesty to
long-time illegal residents, handing out Green Cards to people who have hidden inside the country
for 10 years or longer. [Tweet] That'll stop the flow of illegals crossing the
border! It's a sure-fire hit. I'm a bit shocked that he isn't considering a program to
grant citizenship and register them all to vote, but maybe he hopes to accomplish that goal in his
increasingly unlikely second term.
Extortion: Mexican
president says the 'flow of migrants will continue' unless the US meets his demands.
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador warned on Sunday during an interview with
"60 Minutes" that unless the United States complies with Latin America's requests for aid, the
tide of migrants will continue. In January, Obrador issued a series of demands for what the
U.S. must do to stop the flow of migrants to the border, ranging from sending Latin American
countries $20 billion in aid a year to granting some level of amnesty to illegal immigrant
workers in the U.S. Mexico has reportedly taken some state-level action to curb mass migration
at President Biden's request, making crossings drop, however, the number of migrants began to rise
again in February, with Border Patrol expecting another surge in the[ ]spring.
Scotus
Sides With Texas on Immigration Law — Round 'Em Up. The Supreme Court last
Tuesday upheld a Texas law allowing local law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants entering the
US. This is a massive victory for Governor Greg Abbott (R), whose attempts to handle the
border crisis have been repeatedly stymied by the Biden Administration. The Texas law (SB4),
passed late last year, allows state and local officials to arrest and impose criminal penalties on
individuals entering the country illegally and allows state judges to order deportation.
According to Abbott, the law was a necessity due to the Biden Administration's abject failure to
enforce federal laws at the border. Texas Attorney Genearl Ken Paxton described the ruling as
a "huge win" and confirmed the law "is now in effect." The Supreme Court's ruling also rejects
a request from the Justice Department, which insists SB4 is a violation of the Constitution's
Supremacy Clause. The Supremacy Clause states that federal law takes precedence over state
law in most cases.
In
Florida, ignorance of the law is an excuse if you don't speak English. An illegal
alien in Florida escaped prosecution for resisting arrest because he speaks no English[,] and now
he's suing the estate of the officer who collapsed while arresting him. If you've ever
wondered how lost America is, I think this story tells the tale. I'll limit my comments
because the facts really do speak for themselves. Virgilio Aguilar Mendez is a Guatemalan
citizen who came to America illegally, ending up in St. Augustine, Florida. Last year,
Sgt. Michael Kunovich, an experienced police officer, believed that Mendez was behaving
suspiciously and began to question him. Mendez announced that he didn't speak English and
tried to walk away. Of course, walking away from a police officer isn't how it works in
Guatemala or America, so Kunovich grabbed Mendez. Mendez responded with violence.
Kunovich then collapsed from a deadly heart attack.
The
List of Things Illegal Immigrants Get for 'Free' in Liberal Massachusetts. Liberal
Massachusetts is overrun with illegal border crossers and there's really no wonder why when you see
the laundry list of things that are provided for 'free' courtesy of taxpayers in the Bay
State. All of these perks just act as incentives, driving more illegals into the state.
And remember, there are American citizens in Massachusetts who are poor and don't get nearly as
much from the state.
New
York City to Give Migrant Families Debit Cards for Food, Baby Supplies. New York City
will give debit cards to migrant families for food and baby supplies. The first cards will be
distributed to families on Monday, sparking fear that the new program could lead to fraud or abuse
as well as speculation that the city will be prioritizing migrants over current citizens. As
many 180,000 migrants have arrived in the city over the last two years with 65,000 now in shelters.
"A family of four is expected to receive up to $350 per week under the program, which will last six
weeks, city officials said. The program will begin with 10 families on Monday, expanding to about
115 families, or roughly 450 people, over the next week," noted the New York Times.
The Editor says...
What's to prevent them from using the cards to buy cigarettes, tattoos, and lottery tickets?
Joe
Biden's winners. The top of Biden's winner list has to be illegal aliens.
As the saying goes, what you promote, you get more of. Joe Biden and his surrogates have
actively promoted the arrival of more than 7 [to] 8 million new illegal aliens since
his inauguration, when he overrode Donald Trump-era policies and instituted new executive orders,
opening the floodgates. Illegal aliens are being housed, fed, given stored value cards, free
medical treatment, and "the promise" of amnesty. A peripheral beneficiary of our open border
is the Mexican cartels, who are making bank, trafficking drugs, adults, and children. [...] On the
heels of illegal aliens are non-governmental organizations and other leftist activist
groups, who are grifting the government to the tune of billions of dollars per year. Woke
Catholic charities, woke Protestant charities, woke attorneys, woke hotel chains and housing
authorities all benefit from the continuation of the border surge. Leftist homeless groups
benefit from the continuation of, not the elimination of, homelessness. If they "solved" the
homeless crisis, they would be out of work. Not the "people" in said sanctuary cities and
states, but leftist Democrats, who benefit from the increased number of congressional seats
afforded them, by the increased counts in the Census, soon to be the right to vote.
Democrats
Vote Against Bill That Would Stop Biden Admin From Flying Illegals to American Communities.
Every single Senate Democrat voted against a bill that would have stopped the Biden Administration from
chartering more than 32,000 illegal immigrants from their countries to various American communities.
Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) called out Democrats on Friday night after they opposed legislation that
would protect American tax dollars from being spent on flights for hundreds of thousands of illegal
aliens to be flown to cities across the country. "Make no mistake here. President Biden has
secretly been flying hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens in foreign countries into blue-city
airports," Hagerty said from the Senate floor. "Just last year alone, in 2023, it was reported
that some 320,000 illegal aliens have been flown in using this method." [Tweet with video clip]
Trump
Can Win Again on Building the Wall. In 2015, there were just under 600,000 "Illegal
aliens apprehended in the United States" according to Statista. Many of those apprehended
were sent back home. Today there are over 300,000 known migrants entering (and almost all
staying in) the U.S. each month. Migrants are arriving from all over the world, including
from geopolitical adversaries like China. Then there are those not caught. CBP reports
over 1000 "known "gotaways" a day. In total, this is more than the 3.9 million
population of Los Angeles added to America's welfare rolls each year. How many are "unknown
gotaways"? You don't know what you don't know. American cities are choking under this
invasion. As one example in my home city, "Denver cuts services in response to the migrant
crisis that's costing the city $180 million." It's worse in New York City and
Chicago. Trump tried to build a wall but ran into stiff resistance from both Democrats and
donor-class beholden Republicans.
New
York City Mayor Eric Adams Cancels US-Mexico Border Trip Over 'Safety Concerns'. In a
turn of events that would be hilarious if it weren't so serious, New York City Mayor Eric Adams
canceled a scheduled trip to the southern border. He was slated to visit Brownsville and
McAllen, Texas, along with an undisclosed city in Mexico. The visit was supposedly aimed at
addressing the mounting challenges New York City faces due to the ongoing border crisis. But
Adams canceled the trip — over "security concerns."
The Editor says...
[#1] As I understand it, Brownsville and McAllen are the least-affected cities in Texas. If he
really wanted to see some stuff, he should have gone to El Paso and Juarez. After sundown.
[#2] If it is unsafe to visit the Mexican border, why are you inviting illegal immigrants to your
"sanctuary city?"
Judge
Tosses Challenge, Upholds Law Allowing 'Noncitizens' To Vote In DC. A federal judge
on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit challenging a District of Columbia law allowing "noncitizen
residents" to vote in local elections. Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an appointee of President
Barack Obama, found that a group of seven citizen plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the
legislation. Their lawsuit against the D.C. Board of Elections, filed on March 14, aimed
to block the 2022 law passed by the Council of the District of Columbia. They argued that
"noncitizens" do not have a fundamental right to vote in the United States and that allowing them
to cast ballots and hold office in the District of Columbia dilutes the votes of U.S. citizens.
"It follows from our national independence that United States citizens have a right to govern, and
be governed by, themselves. The constitutional right to citizen self-government, moreover,
has been recognized in repeated holdings of the Supreme Court of the United States," their
complaint reads. "Nor does any noncitizen have a constitutional right to govern the United
States," the complaint adds. The group argued that the Supreme Court has recognized and
protected these rights against infringement in "multiple precedents."
To
Stop The Border Invasion, Get Tough On Mexico. A group of several hundred illegal
immigrants forcibly pushed past Texas National Guard troops on Thursday in El Paso, Texas, breaking
through razor wire and assaulting guardsmen as they forcibly rushed a border gate. Video of
the clash, which was filmed by reporters from the New York Post, quickly went viral. It shows
the crowd of migrants, all of them adult men, at first putting their hands up as they crowd around
a small group of Texas guardsmen trying to block an opening in the fence the migrants had
created. After what appears to be a brief physical altercation, the crowd rushes past the
guardsmen. The Post reporter at the scene described it as a "riot." The video is
shocking. It underscores not only how unstable the border has become but also what has been
true for a while now: This is an invasion. What began as a crisis created by the Biden
administration's lax border policies is now an open conflict careening toward disaster.

Man
pleads guilty to smuggling migrants into California through sewer pipes. A
20-year-old Mexico resident has pleaded guilty to smuggling seven migrants into the U.S. illegally
through sewer pipes in southern California, federal prosecutors say. Kevin Noe Campos Villa
now faces a potential 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine following his arrest in January,
during which several of the migrants he was escorting had to be rescued from the Tijuana River by
San Diego lifeguards, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of
California. Prosecutors say Campos, of Tijuana, was taken into custody by the Border Patrol
on Jan. 22 about two miles west of the San Ysidro Port of Entry during heavy rainfall.
"Sewer tubes between the United States and Mexico have grates to prevent individuals from illegally
entering the United States. During heavy rain, the grates are opened to let water flow
through the sewer tubes without damaging the grates," the attorney's office said. "Due to
heavy rain that was occurring in the area at the time, the grates were open and Campos used the
opportunity to smuggle the unauthorized immigrants into the United States."
Trudeau's
High-Migration Canada Slides Toward Poverty and Chaos. A government report in Canada
forecasted a deep civic breakdown in the once-stable society that now suffers from unprecedented
levels of elite-imposed migration. The secret and heavily redacted report was prepared by the
country's version of the FBI — the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The partial copy
was extracted from the agency by an academic lawyer and was published in Canada's National
Post newspaper. The report is titled "Whole-of-Government Five-Year Trends for Canada,"
and features many progressive-approved concerns about claimed global warming in cold-weather
Canada. But the visible sections of the text spotlight several obvious costs of
migration — expensive housing, wider wealth gaps, and reduced civic trust caused by the
government's policy of forced diversity: [...]
Arizona
Man on Trial for Shooting Illegal Immigrant Walking Through His Property. A legal
battle has begun in Nogales, Arizona, that captures the essence of the nation's border
crisis. A 75-year-old rancher is facing charges of second-degree murder and aggravated
assault after he fatally shot Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea, a 48-year-old illegal immigrant who passed
through his property while trying to gain entry into the country. [...] The group of illegals,
including Cuen-Buitimea, had turned around after seeing Border Patrol agents as they attempted to
make it into the country. They wandered through Kelly's property on their way back to
Mexico. This is where the shooting occurred. This is a tragic case highlighting the
negative impact the border crisis has had on everyday Americans. The proceedings come just
weeks after the murder of Laken Riley, a 22-year-old nursing student in Georgia, at the hands of an
illegal immigrant. Kelly, like many others living in border towns, appears to have
experienced the same fears with people walking through their property from Mexico. These
regions have become hotbeds for cartel activity as they smuggle and traffic humans across the
southern border.
Tyson
Foods slapped with 'refuse to buy' branding after hiring migrant workers. A
conservative investment fund group is pulling its holdings of Tyson Foods over the meat and poultry
giant's hiring of migrant and refugee workers — claiming the employment practice will
repel customers. The American Conservative Values ETF, an exchange-traded fund managed by
Ridgeline Research LLC, divested from the company and slapped a "refuse to buy" rating on its
stocks for its clientele. "We believe Tyson's management has blundered into a political
minefield (and should have known better)," Ridgeline founder and CEO Bill Flaig told Fox Business
on Monday.
Biden
DHS [is being] pressed for answers on 386,000 immigrants flown directly into US cities. House
Republicans are pressing the Biden administration to provide information about a government phone
app that allowed immigrants outside the United States to apply for permission to fly into the U.S.
to be screened for admission. In a letter sent to President Joe Biden and Department of
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Friday, 18 GOP lawmakers demanded information on
the "advanced travel authorizations" program that has allowed immigrants from Cuba, Haiti,
Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. "As federal representatives and citizens of this
great nation, we hold a fundamental duty to ensure that the Executive Branch is not breaking the
very laws it is charged to enforce. This is especially true when it comes to protecting
Americans," the letter, led by Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX), states. "No American should die
because you refused to do your duty."
Video
Shows Illegal Migrants Overwhelming Texas National Guard, Storming Border Wall. Video
taken near El Paso, Texas, shows illegal immigrants tearing down a barrier and overwhelming members
of the Texas National Guard as they stormed across the border. The illegal immigrants are
seen pulling the barrier open as four National Guardsmen try to keep them from crossing the border
in the video posted to Twitter on Thursday by former Daily Caller News Foundation reporter Jennie
Taer, who now works for the New York Post. The illegal immigrants rush through the gap opened,
almost trampling the National Guard personnel, until coming up against a second, sturdier barrier.
It's
time to stop accommodating the crazies in America. Illegal immigration is being
normalized, with Joe Biden calling illegal aliens "newcomers" as if they have a right to be
here. New York City's Mayor, Eric Adams, floated the idea of inviting asylum seekers into
private homes. It seems everyone with a microphone (or megaphone?) is demanding we welcome a
hoard of low-skill invaders into our country unvetted, medically undiagnosed, and frequently
criminally active into our country. You're supposed to close your eyes, cover your ears, and
chant newcomer over and over until you, too, see the magnificent wisdom of Biden and his
progressive left. Fortunately, Americans seem resistant to this indoctrination. Illegal
immigration is the number one issue this election season. Thirty-eight months into his term,
Biden can only blame the Republicans for his decision to open the border in his first 100 days
in office.
From
Illegal Alien Invaders to Newcomers to Democrats. When Biden entered the Oval Office
following the fraudulent 2020 presidential election (81 million votes... ROFL) he and his
puppeteers immediately undid everything that President Trump put in place to secure our southern
border. At the time, many Americans were dumbfounded. Don't Biden and his puppeteers
know what will happen if the border is left wide open? The answer is that destroying the
United States was always the Democrat party's plan. Having 10 million (and
growing) illegal alien invaders is the easiest way to destroy America. It doesn't matter to
Biden & Company if some illegal invaders are injuring, raping, and murdering Americans. It
doesn't matter to Biden & Company if some illegal invaders are committing home and retail
burglaries, flooding America with fentanyl, and destroying cities with rampant crime. It
doesn't matter to Biden & Company if some illegal alien invaders are given free health care, free
food, free education, free housing, free cell phones, and free debit cards while America's homeless
veterans sleep on the streets. What matters to Democrats is that illegal alien invaders could
be future Democrat voters. The jackass party is desperate to find new voters since polls show
traditional Democrat constituents leaving the Democrat plantation.
It's
Past Time Mike Johnson Grows A Spine And Stops Biden's Border Invasion. House Speaker
Mike Johnson is preparing to surrender on yet another federal spending fight that allows
President Biden's border invasion to continue unabated. On Tuesday, congressional leaders
announced they struck a deal on a roughly $1 trillion package to fund the remainder of the
federal government for the rest of the 2024 fiscal year. It includes funding for agencies
such as the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security. The first package —
which contained zero conservative priorities and increased spending — was passed
by Congress and signed into law by Biden earlier this month. Negotiated behind closed doors
with the White House and Senate leadership, Johnson said in a Tuesday statement that "House and
Senate committees have begun drafting bill text to be prepared for release and consideration by
the full House and Senate as soon as possible." Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also
confirmed this to be the case.
Unfiled
Paperwork [is] to Blame for Over 200,000 Deportation Cases [being] Tossed. An
academic group, Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), obtained some alarming
data. In over 200,000 cases, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) failed to file the proper
paperwork with immigration courts in Houston, Texas and Miami, Florida. The illegal aliens
were issued a Notice to Appear (NTA) at the border, which creates a court date. However, DHS
never filed the paperwork with the court. The asylum process can't move forward without
filing the proper paperwork with the court. The court date rolls around and the asylum-seeker
shows up. The judge doesn't have the paperwork so the case is dismissed. It is hard to
believe but more than half of the deportation cases in Houston and Miami — both considered illegal
immigration hotbeds — have been dismissed since fiscal .
Over
100 migrants break through razor wire, knock down guards as they illegally cross El Paso border in
wild scene. A group of over 100 migrants attempted to enter the US illegally by
rushing a border wall Thursday, breaking through razor wire and knocking over guards in the
process. The [New York] Post had earlier witnessed around 600 migrants massed at the
international border, as part of a "spring surge" of migrants hoping to gain access to the US.
The Texas National Guard was attempting to organize them into smaller groups, but the situation
grew tense after some women and children were separated from adult males by the guardsmen.
Video taken by The Post showed one set of migrants, mostly single men, then rushing the Texas troops.
Ohio
Rep. Ismail Mohamed Delivers Victory Speech Entirely in Somali. Following his
victory in the Ohio primary on Tuesday, Rep. Ismail Mohamed, an immigrant from Somalia,
delivered his victory speech entirely in Somali without one word of English. Mohamed's
district in Columbus, Ohio, is home to more than 45,000 Somalis. He campaigned primarily in
Somali, promising to "represent the interests of Somalia." According to the Columbus
Dispatch, Mohamed, the incumbent in the district, defeated fellow Somali immigrant Abdirizak Diini,
capturing 55 percent to Diini's 33 percent.

House Candidate Gives Victory Speech In Somali After Primary Victory. Democratic Ohio
Rep. Ismail Mohamed, a Somali immigrant, won the Democratic primary for Ohio's 3rd House
District on Tuesday night and delivered his victory speech almost entirety in Somali.
Mohamed, the incumbent in the district, defeated fellow Somali immigrant Abdirizak Diini, capturing
55 percent to Diini's 33 percent, according to the Columbus Dispatch. [Tweet]
The 31-year-old Columbus lawyer became Ohio's first Somali lawmaker in 2022, alongside Munira
Abdullahi, who won in Ohio's 9th district in 2022 as well. Mohamed is a Somali refugee who,
after originally escaping the violence in his home country and fleeing to Kenya, came to the United
States in 2005, he told Spectrum News in 2022.
The Editor says...
This proves that the Somali immigrants have no intention (or motive) to assimilate and become English-speaking Americans.
What
the Court Did On Immigration. A showdown is coming on the conflict between the Biden
administration, which is determined to negate federal immigration law, and the State of Texas,
which bears the brunt of Biden's open border policy and is determined to vindicate our immigration
laws and protect its own citizens. The case is pending in the Fifth Circuit, but a shot
across the bow was fired yesterday [3/19/2024] in the Supreme Court. This is the procedural
status: A federal judge in Texas held that Texas's law, SB 4, unconstitutionally conflicts
with federal law, and he enjoined enforcement of SB 4. Texas appealed to the Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeals, which entered an "administrative stay" of the trial court's order enjoining
Texas. Under that temporary stay, Texas can continue enforcing its law, for the time being,
while the case is being argued.
The Editor says...
I will admit I'm confused about whether SB4 is being enforced or not, because its status
seems to have changed at least twice this week.
Bus
company agrees to stop bringing migrants from Texas to New York City amid pending
lawsuit. Bus company Roadrunner Charters agreed on Wednesday to stop transporting
migrants from Texas to New York City and surrounding areas while a lawsuit is pending. The
agreement is part of a stipulation in which the city agreed to defer pursuing more than
$700 million incurred to care for all of the migrants bused to the city in the last two
years. The New York City Department of Social Services sued Roadrunner and 16 other bus
companies in December, accusing them of implementing Texas Gov. Abbott's "bad faith" plan to
bus migrants to New York for the purpose of making them a public charge.
How
Many Millions of Illegal Aliens in the Country Does the Democrat Party Need to Destroy
America? The Democrat's Ministry of Propaganda, the DHS-media complex, is trying to
leverage every psychological operational trick in the book to influence the narrative: there is no
invasion, the border is secure, and there are only a few million "climate refugees" in the
country. The liberal media has been disingenuous and hysterical; Fox News and the alternate
media are reporting relentlessly, with live video from the border, essentially reverse engineering
Democrat propaganda. Are Americans waking up to the fact that Washington Democrats are
domestic terrorists who have not only lied to them on what is happening at the border but that
there was another purpose to Biden opening the border to invaders? Destroy the Republican
Party, create one party rule, and welcome a communist government.
Biden's
Border Blowup. [Scroll down] In contrast, we know legal immigration
is America's great strength, but it has always depended on a few key prerequisites. In
contrast, we know legal immigration is America's great strength, but it has always depended on a
few key prerequisites. Why? Because only the host nation can adjudicate how many
immigrants it can successfully accept and assimilate. It has no desire to encourage
Balkanized tribalism so common in nations abroad torn apart by ethnic conflict. America must
have some knowledge of the background of immigrants, especially whether they have criminal records,
belong to gangs, are importing drugs, carry infectious diseases, or can be self-supporting.
By contrast, if the first thing immigrants do is illegally cross the American border, and the
second is to reside illegally in America, and the third is to obtain fraudulent identification to
mask that illegality, then they will establish long patterns of illegal behavior and disrespect for
their hosts.
Texas
immigration law blocked again, just hours after Supreme Court allowed state to arrest
migrants. Hours after the Supreme Court gave Texas officials permission to jail and
prosecute migrants suspected of crossing the U.S. southern border without authorization, an appeals
court late Tuesday blocked the state from enforcing its controversial immigration law known as SB4.
In a late-night order, a 5th Circuit Court of Appeals panel dissolved a pause that it issued in early
March to suspend a lower court ruling that found SB4 to be unconstitutional. The order reinstated
a ruling from U.S. District Court Judge David Ezra, who concluded in late February that SB4 conflicted
with federal immigration laws and the Constitution.
Supreme
Court Refuses to Block Texas From Arresting Illegal Immigrants. The Supreme Court has
acted. Texas is free to deal with illegal migrants in violation of immigration law by
arresting them. The Biden administration failed in its attempt to block a Texas law that
allows the state to arrest those suspected of violating U.S. Immigration law. The Biden
administration argued that the federal government may enforce or ignore immigration law as it sees
fit. It said states like Texas have no say in the matter and no recourse to defend
themselves. The court majority said no to this overreaching, and some justices were not
happy. Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, wrote,
"Today, the Court invites further chaos and crisis in immigration enforcement." The court may
still reopen the issue as a constitutional matter later, but for now, the Biden administration may
not interfere with Texas. Biden had wanted an administrative stay to halt any action by Texas
as a way of shortcutting the process of appeals. The Texas migration law makes unauthorized
entry into the state, except at a port of entry, a state felony. While such entry is already
a federal crime, the Biden administration has turned a blind eye to the law. Texas now has a
free hand to defend its state borders. A federal judge attempted to stay the law's
implementation, but the 5th Circuit overturned that ruling. The Biden administration hoped
the Supreme Court would overrule the 5th Circuit. It did not.
Supreme
Court Allows Texas to Enforce Deportation Law. Earlier today the U.S. Supreme Court
voted 6-3 to allow Texas to enforce Texas Senate Bill 4 and resume arresting and deporting migrants
crossing the border illegally, as the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals continues litigation in
United States, Applicant v. Texas, et al. Texas Governor Greg Abbott believes the
Supreme Court's decision is a positive development as the case returns to the Fifth Circuit Court
of Appeals, stating on X, "BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision SCOTUS allows Texas to begin enforcing SB4
that allows the arrest of illegal immigrants. We still have to have hearings in the 5th
circuit federal court of appeals. But this is clearly a positive development."
Supreme
Court green lights Texas law that allows state police to arrest migrants. The Supreme
Court on Tuesday allowed a Texas law to take effect that enables state law enforcement to arrest
people they suspect are illegally entering the United States from Mexico. The three liberal
justices publicly dissented from the court's order that clears the way for the controversial
statute, S.B. 4. The order is not a final decision, and the case could return to the high
court. The Biden administration had urged the justices to block the law, passed by Texas's
Republican-controlled Legislature last year, asserting it is an "unprecedented intrusion into
federal immigration enforcement." "There is no ambiguity in SB4," U.S. Solicitor General
Elizabeth Prelogar wrote to the justices. "It is flatly inconsistent with federal law in all its
applications, and it is therefore preempted on its face."
Democrats
Cannot Win a Fraud-Free Election. Joe Biden, or whoever the Democrat nominee may be,
cannot win the 2024 election fairly. [...] The neocon faction of the Republican Party has claimed
this election will be a referendum on Trump. However, the real referendum will be on Joe
Biden and the Democrat party as a whole. [...] [O]ne major crisis is all it takes to lose.
Joe Biden and the Democrat party have five, all of which the public is squarely placing blame on
his administration and party. The seemingly biggest issue of concern right now is the border
crisis. Immediately upon taking office, Biden halted border wall construction. He then
ended Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), also known as "Remain in Mexico," which required asylum
seekers to remain in Mexico while their immigration cases were being processed. He has also
severely handicapped Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) ability to curtail illegal
migration. This has resulted in a massive influx of illegal aliens who have wreaked havoc on
American society by flooding its cities and committing serious crimes, including murders.
Supreme
Court extends block on Texas law that would allow police to arrest migrants. The
Supreme Court on Monday continued to block, for now, a Texas law that would give police broad
powers to arrest migrants suspected of illegally entering the U.S. while the legal battle it
sparked over immigration authority plays out. A one-page order signed by Justice Samuel Alito
indefinitely prevents Texas from enforcing a sweeping state immigration enforcement law that had
been set to take effect this month. The language of the order strongly suggests the court
will take additional action, but it is unclear when.
SCOTUS
blocks TX law to arrest & detain people invading the country. The Supreme Court on
Monday indefinitely blocked Texas from enforcing an immigration law that would allow state
officials to arrest and detain people they suspect of entering the country illegally. The
administrative stay will remain in place while the court considers emergency appeals from the Biden
administration and others challenging the law. The United States is being invaded, and we
don't know who these people are. Despite that, the United States Supreme Court blocked the
Texas law. No one in power seems to care that millions of people are invading the country.

owner Elon Musk was busy posting to the social media platform that he owns Friday and Saturday,
interspersing stories of SpaceX rockets taking off with searing political commentary about the
state of our nation under Joe Biden and the Democrats. [...] One of his main concerns is illegal
immigration, where under the Biden administration, as many as 10 million people have slipped
into the country. Biden has made no effort to secure the border and casts blame everywhere he
can think of — except on his own disastrous policies. Musk calls the president's
approach "insane" as he reacts to the awful story of 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley's
murder at the hands of a Venezuelan illegal: [Tweet]
American
Work Ethic: Missing in Action? We can't continue to be passive as our systems
crumble around our feet. Bad things happen when the canaries in the mine start chirping.
[...] The Marxists, Communists and Destroyers have taken over our world, undermining our
foundations to the point Biden had to back down from referring to a killer as "illegal." Today's
Newspeak requires them to be called undocumented or newcomer. [...] We have a legal
way for asylum seekers to enter our country. We have 328 Ports of Entry where they can
legally claim asylum. Yet almost none go to a Port of Entry in favor of illegally entering
our country. Whatever happened to consequences? The solution? Guard the border
with force. This may seem harsh, but either use a legal pathway or risk being shot at the
border. With such a policy, how long would it take to regain control of our borders?
Repeat criminals? Put them in jail and throw away the key. Deport those with minor
infractions back to their countries of origin because they demonstrate indifference to our
laws. America cannot be the dumping ground for the world. America is a nation based on
law and civil cohesiveness.
2024
Is Shaping Up To Be The 'We Were Right About Everything' Election. [Scroll down]
Then there's the not-insignificant matter of immigration, which is so bad that it has actually
surpassed the economy as voters' No. 1 concern in many polls. Allowing a whopping
10 million people to cross the border was a deliberate choice; Biden bragged about repealing
all of Trump's border controls on day one. Even Democrat strongholds and proud sanctuary
cities such as Chicago and New York are now crying about being overwhelmed with the influx of
migrants. Aside from the fact that the horrific crimes committed by illegal immigrants are
now national news stories, migrants are also driving down wages, and "most of the post-pandemic job
gains the administration continuously brags about have gone foreign-born (read immigrants,
mostly illegal ones) workers."
Minnesota
Democrats Push $500 Monthly Universal Basic Income for Illegals. Democrats in
Minnesota want to implement a freewheeling basic income program that would redistribute taxpayer
money to those who are "needy," even if it is illegal aliens. House File 2666 which was
sponsored by Democratic state Rep. Athena Hollins cleared the House Children and Families
Finance and Policy Committee on a voice vote on March 12, 2024, according to Blaze
Media. Considering that the Democratic Party controls the office of the governor and both
chambers of the legislature, it looks like the bill will be passed. If this bill is combined
with the state Senate's companion bill, Senate File 2559, and then implemented, $100 million
would be sucked out of the General Fund in fiscal year 2025, the news source said. In turn,
this money would be granted out to intermediaries. These nonprofits would be tasked with
giving away money in monthly increments ranging from $350 to $1,200 to those individuals and
families they deem deserving for a period of 12 to 24 months.
Tyson
Foods wants to hire 52,000 asylum seekers for factory jobs. New York City shelters
are overwhelmed with migrants. Many of them have arrived in Texas or Florida and then taken
buses to New York, where shelter and benefits are guaranteed. However, the city is scrambling
as the number continues to climb and the migrants look to build a new life in America, which
includes housing and work. But for companies like Tyson Foods Inc., struggling to fill
unpopular jobs with a U.S. unemployment rate of 3.9%, this new population presents an alluring
opportunity. The food processing company wants to hire 52,000 asylum seekers for factory
jobs, offering a starting wage of $16.50 per hour along with benefits. The company
understands and is aware that these are jobs that many find unpleasant, such as washing meat,
placing the cuts into trays, final inspections for bones and packing meat, but believe this will
help the refugees to start a life in America.
The Editor says...
I'm all for it, provided that [#1] U.S. citizens are given priority in hiring and promotion,
and no worker who is a U.S. citizen will be replaced by a non-citizen; and [#2] the illegal aliens

Florida
Governor Ron DeSantis Sends State Assets South to Block Illegal Immigrants From Haiti.
In a press release issued on Wednesday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stated that the state of
Florida will be sending assets to southern Florida and the Florida Keys to stop any possible influx
of illegal immigration from violence-torn Haiti. [...] Illegal immigration has been a major
problem, one that has exploded under the Biden Administration, with literally millions of illegal
immigrants flooding across the southern border, not only from Central and South America but also
from the Middle East, Africa, and Asia — including China. Faced with inaction by
the Biden administration, Texas took action on its own account to try to hold back the tide, and
several states have lent Texas support in doing the work that the Biden administration refuses to do.
Is
Joe Biden ready for a big Haitian migrant flotilla? With the collapse of Haiti, the
Biden administration has whipped out $300 million for an international aid effort, which like
all the other ones, will probably go to beltway consultant contracts. But true to form, it's
doing very little about an expected migrant flotilla that is very likely to happen, even though it
has authority to do so. [...] El Salvador has offered to solve the problem from its root, doing in
Haiti what they did in short order in their own country if the UN is willing, throwing every bad
guy in jail, and laying down authentic rule of law for law-abiding people to enjoy peace and
security from. That offer ought to be taken seriously, because El Salvador would like to
show the world what it can do to solve these kinds of problems. But of course, Joe Biden isn't
even speaking to the president of El Salvador. He'd rather just dump a new migrant/refugee
crisis onto Florida and have Florida pay for it.
The
Plight of the Socially Superior. Generally speaking, Trump-despisers look down upon
Trump enthusiasts — and, it should be noted, Trump enthusiasts normally resent being
looked down upon. [...] For instance, the despisers don't seem to understand why the enthusiasts
object to illegal immigration. Instead of considering the possibility that this objection may
arise from a genuine and quite rational wish to see the nation's laws enforced, the despisers
attribute the objection to racism. Trump enthusiasts, the despisers believe, object to the
"browning" of America; they would have no objection to millions of "undocumented" "immigrants" if
the lawbreaking immigrants were white or if they came from "S-hole" white countries. Only a
racist would object if, let's say, the entire population of Haiti were to move into Florida tomorrow.
Alito
extends Supreme Court pause of SB4, Texas immigration law that would allow state to arrest
migrants. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Tuesday extended an order blocking
Texas troopers and police from arresting and jailing migrants suspected of crossing the U.S.
southern border without authorization under a strict state immigration law known as SB4. Alito
continued an administrative stay of a lower court order that had paved the way for Texas officials
to enforce SB4, one of the toughest state immigration laws in U.S. history. The pause was
previously going to expire on Wednesday evening. Alito on Tuesday extended it through Monday,
March 18. Passed into law by the Texas legislature last year, SB4 authorizes Texas law
enforcement at the state and local levels to arrest, jail and prosecute migrants on state charges
of entering or reentering the U.S. outside of an official port of entry. It also empowers
state judges to require migrants to return to Mexico as an alternative to prosecuting suspected
violators of the law.
Biden
could fix the terrible migrant crisis in an instant — so why does he refuse?
In table-setting his State of the Union Thursday evening, President Biden invoked the memory of Franklin
Roosevelt but, according to nearly every poll, he may be headed in the direction of Jimmy Carter.
While he certainly beat expectations for his performance, Biden fumbled a major opportunity to reverse
course on the leading issue of immigration despite his 80% public disapproval on the issue. Instead,
he opted for finger pointing at the GOP and a likely half-step executive order next week. That strategy
will fail. Indeed, many of the president's problems can likely be traced to his pandering to the hard left.
Sen.
Bill Hagerty: Impact of illegals on the concentration of political power equals at least 13
new congressional seats. Tennessee's Senator Bill Hagerty recently went on Fox News
for a segment with Maria Bartiromo, and discussed an oft-neglected topic regarding the impact of
millions of illegal foreigners in, and still entering, America: [Tweet with
video clip] His appearance on Fox came after legislation he and other Republicans
proposed was defeated by Democrats — the bill sought to prohibit the federal government
from counting illegal aliens in the census, as that number is the basis for representative
apportionment and the Electoral College. Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution reads:
["]Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be
included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers....["] Furthermore, in
the 14th Amendment we find this: ["]Representatives shall be apportioned among the
several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each
State....["] And, mere hours into taking office, Joe Biden signed an executive order
ensuring that counting illegals in the next census was of paramount importance in his administration.
Top
red state official demands answers on Biden executive order 'attempting to register' illegals to
vote. Mississippi's Secretary of State has sent a letter to President Biden's
Department of Justice asking it to stop enforcing a Biden executive order that he warns is being
used to attempt to register ineligible convicts and illegal immigrants to vote. "As you are
aware, on March 7, 2021, President Biden issued Executive Order No. 14019 which sought to turn
the Department of Justice agencies from their historical missions of law enforcement to voter
registration and get out the vote operations," Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson wrote
in a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland this week. "These efforts are an intrusion
into state matters and are a misuse of federal revenue and resources. In addition, it appears
that these efforts have led to agencies under your charge attempting to register people to vote,
including potentially ineligible felons and to co-opt state and local officials into accomplishing
this goal." The executive order in question was signed by Biden in 2021 and was billed as an
attempt to combat racial discrimination and "protect the right to vote" and instructed government
agencies "consider ways to expand citizens' opportunities to register to vote and to obtain
information about, and participate in, the electoral process."
Is
New York City Really Dead? Far too many edicts coming from Mayor Eric Adams'
administration are simply mind-boggling. The city has been invaded by illegal immigrants from
several countries and the mayor has ordered that they be sheltered in hotels, schools and senior
residencies, displacing senior veterans, and resident citizens. In addition, a pilot program
will be giving them $10,000 prepaid debit cards to buy certain items. What?!!
No
Borders? No America. Americans had better act soon, with or without Congress
and with or without the Border Patrol to stop the current flood of illegal invaders across our
Southern Border, because the Biden regime has no intention of ever stopping the invasion. To
wait and ponder the crisis in the hopes that Donald Trump can stop it, if he wins the presidency,
only ensures that millions more will cross, in addition to the twenty-seven million that have
already entered the country, during Biden's presidency — those which were detained at
the border and the got-aways; and, intentionally or not, it makes America unsafe and sets in motion
the Great Replacement, the replacement of white people and the virtues and principles of freedom
and liberty with people of color who are already prone and predisposed to accepting big government
controls, e.g. Marxism and Maoism, and the idea that all things come from government rather
than individual initiative and independence. To do nothing and remain apathetic or complacent
ensures the destruction of traditional America.
Feds
say Texas National Guard is stopping them from accessing part of the southern border near Eagle
Pass. Texas governor Greg Abbott has turned the screw on the Biden administration by
barring federal agents from one of the hottest flashpoints on the southern border. The White
House was already demanding the Supreme Court allow it to rip down miles of razor wire the state
government has strung across a 29-mile section of the border around Eagle Pass. Now the Texas
National Guard has barred Border Patrol agents entirely from the 2.5-mile section of Shelby Park
and defiantly stationed its military vehicles at the entrance to block access.
Biden
Admin Tries to Divert $1.4 billion in Border Construction Funds, Federal Judge in Texas Cries
Foul. While Biden gets on the stage and screams that the border disaster is not his
fault and that he needs more legislation, his administration has actually been undermining efforts
to solve the problem. Case in point, they tried to divert $1.4 billion in
congressionally funded appropriations away from border wall construction. Don't believe Biden
when he claims he cares about the millions of illegals that have streamed into this country during
his tenure because every single action he's taken since he took office shows that he does
not. On Friday, a federal judge in Texas hit back.
Rep.
Lauren Boebert Introduces the Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) crafted a straightforward plan to end the catastrophic border
crisis created by President Joe Biden. The Colorado Congresswoman introduced the Build the
Wall and Deport Them All Act Friday. The bill codifies many Donald Trump-era policies and
might be the perfect contrast to the border policies offered by Biden during his State of the Union
address to the nation the night before. "On day one, the Biden Regime implemented their
open-border policies that have destroyed countless American families and made our communities less
safe," Boebert told Breitbart News. "My Build the Wall and Deport Them All Act will codify
President Trump's proven border policies that reduced illegal immigration to record lows."
California
to help 'undocumented immigrants' purchase homes? California Assemblymember Joaquin
Arambula has introduced Assembly Bill 1840, aimed at expanding home ownership opportunities for
"undocumented immigrants" in the state. The bill would make illegal aliens eligible for first
time homebuyer loans. The bill, as originally introduced earlier this year, was aimed at low-
and middle-income citizens, but Arambula apparently decided that was too exclusive, and
therefore recently proposed his updated version. This is yet another kick in the shorts to
citizens, especially since the formerly Golden State has the highest priced housing —
and by far the most homeless people — in the nation. California is already the
only state to fund comprehensive health care for undocumented immigrants. And it has a
stupefying projected budget deficit of $73 billion with an average personal debt of $84,730
... which "undocumented immigrants" undoubtedly will not have to pay. Illegal migrants
pouring across our Southern border have allegedly been handed credit cards and cell phones.
In some cases, they are being put up in very nice hotels. Moreover, residents and property
owners in places like Boston, Denver and New York City have been asked to take these immigrants
into their own homes.
Fact-Checking
the Fabulist in Chief's State of the Union. During Thursday's State of the Union
address, Biden fully displayed his fabulist tendencies. His assessment of the
administration's accomplishments and his impact was not anchored in reality. [...] Of course,
Biden chose to blame the crisis at the border on Republicans refusing to pass the "border security
bill." Like the Inflation Reduction Act, the bill's name had nothing to do with its contents.
It was the "process people faster, grant more asylum and make as many as we can citizens" bill.
Biden created the current crisis by reversing about 90 Trump-era policies. He can end it by
reinstating them. He doesn't need Congress to do anything. Then, in a huge gaffe, Biden
mispronounced Laken Riley's name, calling her "Lincoln Riley" and acknowledging an illegal immigrant
killed her. He added, "How many thousands of people are being killed by illegals?" Great
question, Joe. Then he went on a weird rant about human smuggling and asserted that fewer
people would pay coyotes if waited for six weeks for a hearing rather than six months. Then
he yelled, "Send me the border bill now!" Perhaps he didn't know that Majority Leader Chuck
Schumer has been sitting on HR-2, an actual border security bill, since early 2023.
Is
A New Biden Scandal About To Erupt? The Joe Biden presidency has had its share of
missteps, maybe more than any other administration before it. But the latest scandalous
behavior is not an error in the eyes of this White House. In pursuit of cultural and
political engineering that only the Democrats would ever consider, the administration has flown
320,000 illegal immigrants into the country directly from foreign airports. According to the
Center for Immigration Studies, "U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has approved secretive
flights that last year alone ferried hundreds of thousands of inadmissible aliens from foreign
airports into some 43 American ones over the past year, all pre-approved on a cell phone app."
This was not disclosed at a news conference or at the daily White House press briefing but learned
through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit that pried the information from an administration that
clearly wanted to hide it. It's anyone's guess as to where these aliens have landed.
The CBP has withheld the names of the airports that "received 320,000 inadmissible aliens from
January through December 2023." It is also refusing to reveal which foreign airports the
immigrants departed from.
The Editor says...
The people arranging for these many gas-guzzling flights are the same people who complain about your "carbon footprint."

Illegals to Continue Living Freely in U.S. Despite Awaiting Deportation: Report.
A federal report projects that there will be over 8 million illegal aliens living in the United
States, free to roam and do as they please, despite currently awaiting deportation proceedings by the
end of 2024. As reported by Breitbart, this will result in a tripling of the number of non-detained
illegals who otherwise would be detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as they prepare
for deportation. By the end of Fiscal Year 2023, there were at least 6.2 million illegals
living in the U.S. who had not been detained by ICE despite facing deportation; 1.3 million of
these illegals had already been given final deportation orders by federal judges. The new
internal federal records, obtained by Axios, indicate that ICE will see that number explode to over
8 million by the end of 2024. For comparison, the number in 2020 was roughly one-third
of that amount, at just 3.2 million.
The
Biden Administration's Creative Rule-Breaking To Destroy The Border. Homeland
Security (DHS) Secretary Mayorkas opines that America's immigration crisis is an outcome of a
"system" that has been broken for thirty years. An honest Mayorkas would take ownership of a
crisis three years in the making. He would say that, by leveraging a record-breaking 535
immigration actions, we are giving millions of, at best, loosely vetted, mostly non-English
speaking "twilight" immigrants a pathway to citizenship, with no pesky conditions like good moral
character, self-reliance, adopting American values, speaking English, or obeying the law. It
wasn't always this way. It's true that, from the 1960s through the 1980s, Democrats loosened
immigration restrictions to encourage future Democratic voters to enter. However, in the
1990s, the United States stopped bowing to the UN's dictates on who to accept as refugees.
It's also when Bill Clinton authorized doubling down on protecting the southern border, making it
harder to claim asylum and easier to deport illegal aliens, along with changing welfare eligibility
for legal immigrants from one day to five years.
Senators
Rip FEMA on Poor Handling of Illegal Immigrant Travel. Key Senate Republicans blasted
the Federal Emergency Management Agency for shoddy record-keeping regarding the transportation of
illegal immigrants throughout the U.S. FEMA distributes grants to nonprofit organizations for
shelter and travel expenses for illegal immigrants, but last month informed The Heritage
Foundation's Oversight Project that it has no documentation about how that taxpayer money has been
spent. "It is becoming clearer every day that the Democrats' open-border catastrophe is not
only being orchestrated by the Biden administration, the American taxpayer is unwittingly being
forced to pay for this invasion," Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, the top Republican on the Senate
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, told The Daily Signal. The committee
oversees border and immigration issues. The FEMA admission that it lacks documentation for
expenses comes less than a year after an internal federal audit stated FEMA is responsible for "a
detailed accounting of all program funds."
The
Five FUBARs. [#2] Next is the border. You saw last year how the blob elite
greeted the transfer of illegal immigrants to their happy little island of Martha's Vineyard. (They
were not amused by Governor DeSantis's prank, and off-loaded the mutts post-haste.) But that same
smug demographic doesn't care if hundreds of thousands are distributed to the big cities, which are
now fiscally destabilized by them to an extreme, probably to bankruptcy. Of course, that is
not the main thing to worry about with what altogether amounts to millions of border-jumpers
flooding our land. The main reason to worry is what the blob that invited them here intends
for them to do, which, you may suspect, is to unleash mayhem in the streets, malls, stadiums, and
upon our infrastructure just in time to derail the election — perhaps even to make war
on us right in our homeland. The US government is paying for this whole operation, you
understand, funneling our tax money to international cut-out orgs who set up the transfer camps in
Panama, and buy the plane tickets for the mutts to cross the ocean, and coordinate with the Mexican
cartels to shuttle this horde of mystery people among us to work their juju for the Democratic
Party. The [anger] of the public has passed the red line on this treasonous scam.
DHS
won't say which airports are receiving inadmissible aliens from abroad. Thanks to an
ongoing Center for Immigration Studies Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, the public now
knows that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has approved secretive flights that last year
alone ferried hundreds of thousands of inadmissible aliens from foreign airports into some 43
American ones over the past year, all pre-approved on a cell phone app. But while large
immigrant-receiving cities and media lay blame for the influx on Texas Republican Gov. Greg
Abbott's busing program, CBP has withheld from the Center — and apparently will not
disclose — the names of the 43 U.S. airports that have received 320,000 inadmissible
aliens from January through December 2023, nor the foreign airports from which they
departed. The agency's lawyers have cited a general "law enforcement exception" without
elaborating — until recently — on how releasing airport locations would harm
public safety beyond citing "the sensitivity of the information." Now, though, CIS's
litigation has yielded a novel and newsworthy answer from the government: The public can't
know the receiving airports because those hundreds of thousands of CBP-authorized arrivals have
created such "operational vulnerabilities" at airports that "bad actors" could undermine law
enforcement efforts to "secure the United States border" if they knew the volume of CBP One traffic
processed at each port of entry.
Elon
Musk Exposes Biden's Little Known Program That Has Flown 320,000 Illegal Aliens Into the
Country. We know about the incredible mess that Joe Biden has created at the
border. But X owner Elon Musk pointed out an issue that most people don't even know about —
that not only is Biden leaving the door open for illegal aliens to come in, Biden was also flying
people into this country from other countries so they don't even have to cross the border
themselves. According to the report, Biden flew in 320,000 of them last year. Musk
expressed his concern about the national security threat that this posed. He thought the
failure to vet people was going to lead to "something far worse than 9/11." [Tweet]
Democrats
Promise Fraud and Insurrection. [Scroll down] [Texas State Attorney
General Ken Paxton] has just recently obtained a ruling that the 1.7 trillion dollar spending
bill passed by Nancy Pelosi was done unconstitutionally, because there was not a quorum of 50% of
elected representatives in the House during the vote. I don't know how one unspends money,
but all of those funds should be clawed back from wherever it went, especially if it went to the
UN, who is funding this invasion of the southern border with our tax dollars. The other thing
he has done is he has raided the Annunciation House on the charges of "alien harboring, human
smuggling and operating a stash house." He likewise did the same to two other "charities"
allegedly engaged in such illegal activities. It is the NGOs that have driven the illegal
immigration invasion on the southern border with funds from the UN and private donors like the Open
Society, [...] It is illegal for a charity, of any sort, to harbor, induce or incentivize illegal
activity, including illegal immigration, but they have been doing so consistently in coordination
with the the Department of Homeland Security, the Border Patrol and the Biden Administration.
When you understand that this is all tied to the idea of redrawing the congressional district maps
and ultimately giving these illegals voting rights, the whole scheme comes into focus.
Biden
administration ADMITS illegal migrant secret flying program that has transported over 320,000 has
national security 'vulnerabilities'. Joe Biden's administration has admitted
transporting migrants on secret flights into the U.S. and lawyers for its immigration agencies
claim revealing the locations could create national security 'vulnerabilities'. Customs and
Border Protection has refused to disclose information about a program last year secretly chartering
flights for thousands of undocumented immigrants from foreign airports directly to U.S.
cities. It means that while record numbers of migrants were flowing over the southern border
last year, the Biden White House was also directly transporting them into the country.
Supreme
Court temporarily halts rollout of Texas migrant arrest law. The Supreme Court on
Monday moved to temporarily halt the introduction of a new Texas law under which local authorities
would be allowed to arrest migrants believed to be illegally entering the country. In an
order issued by Justice Samuel Alito, the high court delayed the implementation of the measure
until 5 p.m. on March 13.
Appeals
Court Allows Law Authorizing Arrest of Illegals to Take Effect Barring SC Intervention.
On Thursday, we brought you news of a federal District Court ruling out of Texas that blocked the
state's recently enacted law (Senate Bill 4), which allowed state law enforcement officers to arrest
and detain those suspected of entering the country illegally. In his ruling, Judge David Ezra
held that the provision was an improper attempt by Texas to supersede federal law. Monday, in
addition to the blockbuster ruling out of the United States Supreme Court regarding the Colorado
ballot case involving former President Donald Trump, comes big news out of the Fifth Circuit regarding
the aforementioned Texas law. [Tweet]
There's
a reason we can't return to a time without immigration laws. Today, our public-school
children (along with most private school children, given that the teachers all come from the same
colleges) are taught that America is a foul, misbegotten country and that the nations that their
parents abandoned are better in every way. That's one reason we can't have unlimited
immigration: Our education system, rather than teaching patriotism and assimilation, is
teaching cultural hatred. Another reason we cannot have unlimited immigration is that the
Supreme Court has held that the 14th Amendment — which was clearly intended to apply to
people with deep roots in America whose ancestors had been brought here against their
will — actually applies to all illegal aliens. The toxic case is 1982's Plyler
v. Doe, another instance in which the Court stretched the Constitution to the breaking
point. Texas had argued that it had no obligation to place illegal aliens in public
schools. The Court's leftist majority, however, held that the 14th Amendment does not
distinguish between legal immigrants and illegal aliens ("any person within its jurisdiction").
The justices, however, cheated to reach that conclusion.
Election
year 'dignity' for illegals. The newest Biden mindbender — out of supposed
concern for "humanity and dignity" — involves guidelines that are expected to sharply
limit arrests and deportations carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In other
words, if you represent a potential illegitimate vote, you can break into a sovereign nation fully
confident that the person tasked to "take care that laws be faithfully executed," will exonerate
the offense. The Biden administration has placed new limits on who ICE can arrest, detain,
and deport. [...] Back in the day, protecting and defending the Constitution, our laws, and our
citizenry were what set the tone and example for our leaders. This new guideline is more like
setting a tone for disaster and establishing an example poised to negatively impact our country for
years. The irony of it all is that adherents of the political ideology that have spent more
than 50 years trying to convince Americans that the dignity of life does not apply to humans
gestating in the womb, is now voicing supposed concern for human dignity as an excuse to impose
more absurdity on a nation already teetering on the precipice of collapse.
Left With
the Ashes. We're too far down the rabbit hole of debt to ever emerge and people like
Mike Johnson are just handing us shovels to go deeper. This continuing resolution that they
just passed denies the overwhelming leverage the House has with the border issue. Securing
the border now has almost 80% support, but Johnson refused to use shutting down the government as
leverage until Biden shuts down the border. As an added poke in the eye, they did nothing
about the spiraling debt or the Pelosi-era spending rate. Inflation continues to pile on and
it's clear as a bell that Washington cannot be reformed soon enough to solve any of these issues.
[...] The House could solve the border problem on it's own, but it hasn't, because that would mean
cutting spending and one might as well suggest setting themselves on fire. If they cut all
spending to the UN, refused to fund any NGO that deals with immigration issues of any sort, refused
to fund any grants given to sanctuary cities and refused to provide any relief to states for
immigration expenses, there would be no crowds at the border, because there would be no incentive.
The
End of Assimilation. America's open borders have put huge strains on our social
services, schools, and police departments, let alone facilitating drug addiction and human
sex-trafficking. Donald Trump has promised to shut the door on day one of his administration,
but even if Trump is elected, the damage will continue for decades. Graphic pictures of
cities inundated with illegals only reflect the beginning of a disaster. The deeper problem
is that nearly all illegals arrive embracing values against core American principles. They
are "aliens" both legally and in terms of our political culture. Modern immigration is
wholly unlike that of the earliest days, when most immigrants were of English ancestry and quickly
integrated into society. Today, by contrast, those flooding into the United States arrive
from almost every nation on the planet, including places like El Salvador, Kazakhstan, India,
Ghana, China, Syria, Cuba, and Vietnam. Those newly arrived Muslims clustering in places
like Dearborn, Mich. have altered the political landscape thanks to their vociferous support for
Hamas, and this new voice may be a harbinger of future Balkanization.
If Nicaragua is so great, why not live there? If Africa is so bad, why do "African-Americans" demand reparations? In
Senegal's capital, Nicaragua is a hot ticket among travel agents as migrants try to reach US.
Gueva Ba tried to reach Europe by boat 11 times from Morocco, failing each attempt.
Then, in 2023, the former welder heard about a new route to the United States by flying to
Nicaragua and making the rest of the journey illegally by land to Mexico's northern border. "In
Senegal, it's all over the streets — everyone's talking about Nicaragua, Nicaragua,
Nicaragua," said Ba, who paid about 6 million CFA francs ($10,000) to get to Nicaragua in July
with stops in Morocco, Spain and El Salvador. "It's not something hidden." Ba, 40, was
deported from the U.S. with 131 compatriots in September after two months in detention, but
thousands of other Senegalese have gained a foothold in America. Many turn to savvy travel
agents who know the route — touted on social media by those who've successfully settled
in the U.S. They are part of a surge in migration to the United States that is extraordinary
for its size and scope, with more people from far-flung countries accounting for crossings at the border.
Stop
Weaseling. Shut Down the Government on March 8. This below is migrant camp
infrastructure at the border in Panama. There are scores of these all along the border, all
through Mexico, Central America, the southern U.S. and Panama. You know what? They are
building more, they are maxing out the infrastructure three or four times. The Prime
Ministers of Costa Rica and Nicaragua are quadrupling the numbers of busses to take migrants from
their countries to the U.S. border. All across the southern states, there are warehouses
filled with migrants. A decommissioned Walmart warehouse near Houston holds 1,500 migrant
boys. There are dozens of those all through the U.S. [Photo] The migrants are mostly
military-aged men. This is an invasion. And they are coming to kill us, one way or
another, according to the most experienced and committed reporter on the scene, who has examined
every aspect of this for more than two decades, Michael Yon. He has travelled the routes, and
interviewed thousands.
American
Paralysis and Decline. We know that no state can long exist after opening its borders
to over 7 million illegal aliens, requiring neither background checks nor legality. The
recent murder of a Georgia female jogger by an illegal alien and the savage beating of New York
policemen by similar others hardly merit media attention. Everyone knows that neither new
appropriations nor new laws are needed to secure the border as it was in 2020. Instead, we
could just stop suicidal catch-and-release, deport lawbreakers, privilege the legal over the
illegal immigrant, demand would-be refugees apply for asylum first in their native countries,
finish the border wall, and pressure Mexico to stop undermining the territorial integrity of its
northern neighbor. But then we shrug, "We can't do that" — paralyzed in fear of
being smeared as "xenophobic," "nativist," or "racist." So this generation apparently feels
that it can endure the collateral damage of daily assaults on American citizens, the near
bankruptcy of our cities, and 100,000 fentanyl deaths per year — but certainly not the
idea that it is somehow not politically correct or compassionate.
Illegal
Aliens to Get Interest-Free Home Loans Under New Democrat-Backed California Bill.
Illegal aliens will get interest-free home mortgage loans under a new California bill.
Democrat assemblymember Joaquin Arambula (Fresno) recently introduced Assembly Bill 1840 to extend
a first-time homebuyer loan program to illegal aliens. If the bill becomes law, illegal
aliens will be eligible for a new program that offers a loan worth 20% of the purchase price of the
residential property. There are no monthly payments and no interest accrues on the loan.
Rather, the loan is paid back when the borrower refinances or sells the property. The borrower
will have to pay back the original loan plus a 20% increase in the value of the property.
Court
Affirms Arizona's Need To Keep Noncitizens Off Voter Rolls, But Makes It Harder To Do So.
A federal judge on Thursday acknowledged Arizona's interest in keeping its voter rolls free of
noncitizens, while simultaneously hampering laws designed to do just that. "Considering the
evidence as a whole, the court concludes that Arizona's interests in preventing non-citizens from
voting and promoting public confidence in Arizona's elections outweighs the limited burden voters
might encounter when required to provide" documentary proof of citizenship, wrote U.S. District
Judge Susan Bolton, disagreeing with the attempt by President Joe Biden's Justice Department to
paint Arizona election integrity laws as "discriminatory." But at the same time, Bolton struck
down or handicapped a handful of Arizona laws designed to ensure that only Arizona citizens are on
the state's voter rolls, including a provision of H.B. 2243 that directed county recorders who have
"reason to believe" voters are not citizens to investigate, and potentially remove, those
individuals from the voter rolls.
Federal
Judge Blocks New Texas Law To Arrest Illegal Immigrants. This entire thing will end
up targeting the People of the united States more than it will anyone suspected of being here
illegally. Soon, and it's pretty close to that now, it will merely be "Show me your papers."
However, a new law in Texas that would allow for the arrest of someone suspected of entering the
country illegally was temporarily blocked by a federal judge.
Federal
Judge Blocks New Texas Law to Arrest Illegal Immigrants. A federal judge on Thursday
temporarily blocked a Texas law that grants state police the capacity to arrest people who are
suspected of illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The measure, called Senate Bill 4 and
signed by Gov. Greg Abbott in December, was slated to go into effect on March 5, but U.S.
District Judge David Ezra ruled that it violated the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy clause that
grants the federal government sole authority over immigration matters. The judge also
rejected Texas's arguments that it was being invaded under the Constitution's Article IV.
In his order, Judge Ezra, a Reagan appointee, said the law would run afoul federal immigration laws
and claimed Texas would then be able to "permanently supersede federal directives" and would
"amount to nullification of federal law and authority." According to the judge, that's a "notion
that is antithetical to the Constitution and has been unequivocally rejected by federal courts
since the Civil War." As a result, he argued, the federal government would "suffer grave
irreparable harm" because other states would be inspired to pass similar measures.
At
Least 44 US-Bound Migrants Arrested After Migrants Destroy Shelter, Vehicles In Fight.
Panamanian authorities arrested 44 migrants after a fight broke out early Saturday at a shelter,
leading to the destruction of 10 modular shelter units and vehicles, according to official
statements. An altercation ensued between two female migrants over a tent in the
San Vicente temporary immigration reception station, according to a statement by Panama's
Security Ministry. The partners of both migrants reportedly intervened in the
incident, triggering a "fight" between the different groups, according to the statement.
Panama's National Border Service, SENAFRONT, reportedly attempted to restore order, but were
challenged by approximately 250 migrants and required reinforcements, the statement noted.
The "migrants caused serious damage to the San Vicente shelter, where they destroyed official and
civilian vehicles," and set at least 10 modular units on fire, according to the statement.
Pictures appearing to show burning and burned trailers and a government pickup truck with deflated
tires accompanied the statement.
Since
1965, Democrats Have Exploited Immigration For Political Power. John F. Kennedy
coined the term "a nation of immigrants" for his 1958 book of the same name. Kennedy was
proud of the immigrants who built the most prosperous nation on earth. He wanted more of the
same, as do all Americans. But that's not what Americans are getting. Instead, they're
getting a government that's been manipulating immigration policies for over half a century to
maintain political power. In the process, they are undermining a foundation that turned a
fledgling nation into a global power in less than 150 years. Democrat policies (aided by
Republicans) have encouraged millions of, at best, loosely vetted immigrants to live in
America. They've simultaneously dismissed the importance of good moral character and the need
to integrate immigrants by having them adopt American values. No wonder so almost 90% of
Americans believe that uncontrolled illegal immigration is a threat to America.
Maine
residents in uproar over $13 million 'Taj Mahal' migrant housing complex.
Residents of a Maine town have hit out at the $13million construction of a complex of 60 apartments
for asylum seekers, where they can live rent free for two years then pay a fraction of the rental
price. Locals in Brunswick have expressed fury over the project, which is being funded by a
mix of private and public money and which has been heavily criticized by Donald Trump Jr. The
apartment complex in Brunswick is one of the many projects being launched by the town in what
critics have labeled a 'Taj Mahal', red-carpet welcome for asylum seekers.
Texas
Law Allowing Police to Arrest, Deport Illegal Immigrants Blocked by Federal Judge. A
federal judge on Thursday blocked a Texas law that would have empowered local and state law
enforcement to arrest and deport illegal immigrants who cross the Southern border into the U.S.
The legislation, signed by Governor Greg Abbott in December, was set to take effect March 5.
However, U.S. district judge David Ezra ruled that Senate Bill 4 violated the Constitution and
prior legal precedent that gives the federal government the sole authority to enforce immigration
laws and policies. Ezra also rejected Texas's claims that the record surge in immigration
constitutes an "invasion," which Abbott declared in January under Article I of the Constitution.
"To allow Texas to permanently supersede federal directives on the basis of an invasion would amount to
nullification of federal law and authority — a notion that is antithetical to the Constitution
and has been unequivocally rejected by federal courts since the Civil War," the judge wrote in his order.
Staffers
at unmarked building refuse to answer questions about housing migrants. Workers at an
unmarked building suspected of housing migrants in Tuscon, Ariz. refused to answer Fox News' Rachel
Campos-Duffy's questions and asked her to leave the facility, she reported Monday [2/26/2024].
The "Fox & Friends Weekend" host received a tip to investigate the facility Casa Alitas, which had
all signs removed from its exterior. She explained the lack of signs was a signal it was an
NGO — non-governmental organization — housing illegal immigrants. After
asking if she could book a room, a woman behind the hotel counter asked Campos-Duffy to leave the
building, claiming she was on "private property." The woman refused to answer questions about
whose property it was, instead asking security to escort Campos-Duffy out of the building.
Migrants
[are being] Handed Spacious Apartments for Free as New Yorkers [are] Left Paying Thousands for Tiny
Rooms. Illegal border crossers in New York City continue to be afforded thousands of
dollars monthly in free rent for apartments and hotel rooms as Big Apple citizens are forced to pay
thousands a month for tiny apartments. The New York Times, for instance, published a lengthy
article on Feb. 25 celebrating the "resettlement" of 170 migrant families who have been moved
from city-paid hotel rooms to suburban Central Islip and other areas where they are being given
upwards to $2,500 a month in free rent. One illegal from Venezuela, who moved from a
Manhattan hotel — where she and her children had one room, a microwave, a mini-fridge,
and a table and chair — into a spacious, two-bedroom apartment in the near eastern
suburb, gushed about the program. "To come from where we have come from, and to be here," she
marveled to the paper. "For some people this may be a small apartment, but for me this is huge."
Coming
attractions: border violator immunity from prosecution? Overrun by human waves of
unlawful migrants and thwarted by the Supreme Court last year in its effort to force federal
enforcement of existing law, Texas enacted its own illegal entry law set to take effect on Super
Tuesday, March 5, 2024. The law is known as Texas Senate Bill 4, or SB4. The Biden
lawsuit against Texas and SB4 pending in the U.S. District Court sends a stark message to
governors, cartels, and their U.S. enablers: border violators are immune from state judicial
process. Foreign diplomats never had it so good, and gangs like MS-13, 18th Street, and
Venezuela's Tren de Aragua are surely taking note. But the Biden initiative against Texas SB4
is just the latest chapter in a continuing saga of immunizing border violators from the consequences
of their illegal conduct.
Arizona
Reeling: Tucson, Pima County Scrambling as Biden Border Crisis Explodes. Pima
County, Arizona, and the city of Tucson are scrambling as Biden's border crisis continues to wreak
havoc on American border states. Tucson officials are engaging in a frenzied search for a
place to house illegal immigrants as federal funding comes to an end. And some are suggesting
that the illegal border crossers should be bused to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in south
Tucson. Officials are desperately making plans ahead of the expected wave of illegal aliens
likely to begin being dropped off at the end of March by Biden's U.S. Customs and Border Protection
agents, according to AZMirror. Tucson Mayor Regina Romero has been "sounding the alarm" and
said it is important to get the city's plans to meet the next wave of Biden's illegal immigrants
before they come.
Venezuela
Halts Deportation Flights From US. Of the nearly nine million illegal migrants that
Joe Biden has allowed into the United States since taking office, a significant percentage of them
came here from Venezuela. There were 50.000 of them just in the month of September, setting a
record that still stands today. The vast majority of them were simply allowed to stay,
receiving court dates to make their asylum claims as much as a decade in the future. But to
his credit, Biden managed to have a small number of the worst of the worst rounded up from time to
time and put on planes to fly back to their native country. That process began last October
after an informal agreement was reached between the White House and Nicolas Maduro. But now
the flights have ended after Biden reimposed some sanctions on Venezuela over its failure to
proceed with fair and open elections. Maduro ordered a ban on deportation flights and there
are few signs that this will change in the near future. So what do we do with the migrants now?
Former
Panama Border Chief: UN Is Behind the Chaos at U.S.-Mexico Border. Documents
show that in 2023, a record 500,000 migrants traveled through the dense jungle known as the Darien
Gap from Colombia into Panama. Migrants from around the world are flying into South and
Central America to start their journey because countries such as Suriname and Ecuador don't require
a visa to enter. Their final destination is the United States. The book "Weapons of
Mass Migration: Forced Displacement, Coercion, and Foreign Policy," written by Kelly
Greenhill, suggests that weaker countries are using migration to destabilize their more powerful
adversaries. Joseph Humire is the executive director of the Center for a Secure Free Society
and an expert on unconventional warfare. He told The Epoch Times that he believes that's what
Americans are seeing at the U.S. southern border now. "This isn't a conspiracy theory," he
said; the "invasion" at the U.S. southern border is "strategic engineered migration."
Work
permits for illegals: the fast track to citizenship. If one looks at this
administration's border-security actions from a similar perspective, it is clear that they desire
the introduction of millions of illegal aliens into the country. Of this there is no
doubt. The only question is, why? If you can believe the government's numbers, at least
10 million illegal aliens have entered the country on Joe Biden's watch and millions more are
on the way. They are overwhelming the financial and social fabric of the country.
Housing, welfare, hospitals, and medical care, education; in a very short period of time their care
is already on the verge of bankrupting cities and states across the country. Why we must care
for these lawbreakers is never discussed, it is just assumed. Many citizens wish they were
treated as well. Now, many advocates are calling for work permits to be granted to these
millions of low-skilled illegal aliens. You will hear they just want to work so let them be
self-sufficient. This too is part of the plan. This too is part of the "why."
What
Shall We Call The New State. In three short years, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and
Alejandro Mayorkas have let enough illegal migrants breach our southern border that if we brought
them all to one spot, they would total more than 36 states in our Union. If that is
tough to grasp, we now have more illegals from over 150 countries than the residents of
Massachusetts, Missouri, or Wisconsin. The Democrats are on a mission to award statehood to
D.C. and Puerto Rico to add Senators and Representatives to Congress that would give them an
insurmountable edge forever. The 7 Million migrants represent ten members of the House
if they could be brought to one location. You can bet the Democrats are trying to get this
done. I have some state name suggestions: Bidenland and New Amnesty — rather
simplistic, but you get the point. The number of people now scattered around America will change
America's complexion but also threaten every American's safety.
Why
are Hispanics Mobilizing Around Trump? [Scroll down] People of hispanic
origin in the USA are [angry] and scared. And they are coming to CPAC to get involved and to
support Trump. Because this group of Americans see Trump as the one candidate who will secure
the border. Who will fix the economy. Eva believes that the number one reason hispanics
in this country legally have come to the USA is for safety. To escape the drug lords, gangs,
lawlessness and corrupt governments. Many have been persecuted, like Eva was — in the
country of their birth. They recognize that the porous border is a danger to the American way of
life. To being safe. That the urban centers in the USA are being overwhelmed with
people who do not deserve to be here. They have not earned it. They have cheated to get
here. Furthermore, while this group of legal immigrants had to work and continue to work, the
US government is putting the illegal immigrants in the front of the line, displacing people who are
here legally and going through the proper channels.
A
Stunning 10 Million Illegals Have Entered The US Under Biden. A record
7.3 million illegal aliens have crossed the southwest border under President Biden's watch, a
number which according to Fox News.is greater than the population of 36 individual states.
That figure is sourced from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which has already reported
961,537 Southwest land border encounters in the current fiscal year, which runs from October
through September, and if the current pace of illegal immigration does not slow down, fiscal year
2024 will break last year's record of 2,475,669 southwest border encounters — a number
that by itself exceeds the population of New Mexico. The total number of southwest land
border encounters since Biden assumed office in 2021 is 7,298,486, CBP data shows.
Appeals
Court Upholds Ruling Striking Down NYC Voting Rights for Foreigners. A New York
appeals court upheld a prior ruling that struck down a New York City law giving local voting rights
to nearly a million foreign nationals. As Breitbart News chronicled, Democrats on the
51-member New York City Council approved a plan in January 2022 that gave more than 800,000
foreign nationals with green cards, visas, and work permits the opportunity to vote in citywide
elections so long as they have resided in the city for at least 30 consecutive days. Black
New Yorkers, along with naturalized American citizens, the New York State Republican Party, the
Republican National Committee (RNC), and Democrat officials like Councilman Robert Holden
subsequently sued Mayor Eric Adams (D) and the city's Board of Elections.
New
York to hand out $10,000 cards to illegals, no I.D. required, what could go wrong?
For a mayor who claims that the migrant influx is going bankrupt his city, he sure has a funny way
of responding to it. [...] Just on the surface, the plan stinks, as the $53 million to be
spent was doled out by a no-bid contract. It gets worse when one learns from the Gelinas
report that the $53 million is just the set-up fee. The money to be doled out to the
migrants is extra. Worse still, the migrants will be entitled to as much as $10,000 a month
at city expense, the pre-loaded debit cards to be doled out on the honor system that migrants will
spend that free cash only for food and baby supplies. The idea of handing out cash was based
on news that migrants were throwing out their food and the food handed out on a no-bid contract was
spoiled and rotten.
Even
Illegal Immigrants Have It Tough. With literally uncounted millions of illegals
having crossed the border, the competition for illegal jobs has heated up. [...] What, exactly, did
they expect? And, I wonder, how many tax dollars are going to support them already?
That second question is, practically speaking for Americans, the more immediately relevant one, but
only by answering the first can we get a handle on how to solve this problem long term. Even
if we don't know precisely what these particular illegal immigrants thought when they trekked from
whatever country they originated, we do know the answers to both these questions. How much
are we spending on illegal aliens? Way too much. The dollar figures only matter in the
abstract; the real answer is that our cities and our social services are groaning under the weight
of millions of illegals.
The
border crisis has brought chaos to America. It is no exaggeration to say that the
latest wave of migrants has caused a crisis. This unexpected influx has overwhelmed towns and
cities across the country and left them straining to find the funds to house and feed these
newcomers. Local news is full of stories of crimes being committed by newly arrived
migrants. Americans increasingly recognise that the situation is out of control. Some
three-quarters say the condition of the south-west border is a 'crisis' or 'very serious'. In fact,
immigration has become the primary concern of American voters, recently overtaking even inflation
and the economy. Until recently, President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats tried to argue
that Republicans were exaggerating the border problem. But as the situation has deteriorated,
that line has been harder to maintain. This is a crisis of Biden's own making. Biden,
along with secretary of homeland security Alejandro Mayorkas and others in the administration, have
systematically adopted measures that have encouraged a largely unrestrained inflow of migrants.
Border
Patrol Union Unleashes on Biden in Short But Hard-Hitting Open Letter. Sometimes less
says more. The Border Patrol Union proved it Monday with a social media post on X. The
union shared a very concise letter to President Joe Biden. Fewer than 50 words, the message
was short but sweet and to the point. "Dear Joe, You OWN this catastrophic disaster at the
border — lock, stock and barrel," the union wrote on the National Border Patrol Council
account. "You created it. You nursed it along. You encouraged it. You facilitated
it. It's all yours. Don't run from it now like a coward. Signed, The BP agents
you've thrown under the bus."
The
Military Junta Called "The Democracy". On Saturday night I watched Tucker Carlson's
interview with Michael Benz, the link sent to me by a reader, and found out that I have, like many
others, been a warrior against a military junta that has taken over our government. [...] What you
are seeing in Texas is that conflict. The people want one thing and this military junta, "the
democracy" wants another thing. Now, "the democracy" wants to train mid-western troops,
basically blue-state national guard troops, to engage Texas troops and red-state guard
troops. All of this is already being led by social media mal-information promulgated by "the
democracy" and their compromised social media cohorts. They are the warmongers, they are
pushing this conflict against the will of the people. They have subverted representative
government, because they are afraid of losing control, of having their actions in 2016 and 2020
known and believed by the people. They are afraid of a real rebellion against them.
They have declared war. This is not politics.
Mayor
Adams [intends] to Cut 6,000 Police to Fund Illegal Immigration. In a city engulfed
in crime, Mayor Eric Adams has decided to cut the police force by 6000 officers. The result
is NY police officers will be cut by 1/5, or 13.5%, by postponing the next 5 Academy classes,
bringing officers below 30,000, down from 36,000. These are the numbers we saw in the 80s and
90s. This is being done to house and feed anonymous, unvetted illegal aliens from around the
world. Many of these people coming are criminals, terrorists, and freeloaders coming for the
benefits. I feel sorry for the people who are truly asylum seekers, but it is a very small
number. Democrats have decided to call all of the illegal aliens, refugees, or asylum seekers
to further their political agenda, which is the same agenda we see fulfilled throughout Europe.
ICE
Plans Mass Release of Thousands of Illegal Aliens. ICE has plans ready to do a mass
release of thousands of illegal aliens. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) justifies
this lunacy by stating it needs to cut detainee holding capacity. Blame it on a budget
shortfall. That shortfall would have been funded in the Senate foreign aid package the House
refused to bring up for a vote. [...] This alleged mass release plan has not been made
public. Shocker, I know. DHS is one of the most non-transparent departments in the
Biden administration. Now it is openly threatening Republicans over funding. The report
probably didn't get the attention it deserves because of all the other chaos created by the Biden
administration in the news over the past couple of weeks. The Hur report was released, the
impeachment of DHS Secretary Mayorkas, and the Trump court cases have consumed most of the news
cycles each day. The immigration/border security bill should have been a stand-alone bill,
not tossed in with big financial packages for Ukraine and Israel, as well as Taiwan.
Illegal
Immigration's Potential Impact on U.S. House, Electoral College. Shortly after taking
office in January 2021, President Biden signed an executive order requiring that the U.S.
Census Bureau factor in all residents, including noncitizens, as part of its decennial calculation
of the U.S. population. As a result, the apportionment of House seats and, therefore,
electoral votes for presidential elections, could be swayed as migrants continue to pour over the
southern border. "Illegal immigration has all kinds of effects and among them is that it
distorts the mechanics of democratic government," Mark Krikorian, the executive director of the
Center for Immigration Studies, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "Illegal immigrants
aren't even supposed to be here, so their inclusion in the census count for purposes of
apportionment really is outrageous."
Eagle-eyed
residents reveal sophisticated migrant smuggling operation at northern US border.
Unsettling [New York] Post footage and interviews with US residents along the Canadian border offer
a rare glimpse into the thriving migrant smuggling operation that has taken hold up north in
addition to the debacle to the south. Residents of bucolic Swanton, Vt. — a town
of about 6,500 people located just across Lake Champlain from New York and about a 10-minute
drive from the Canadian border — have been getting a troubling firsthand look at the
US's northern illegal migrant crisis for months. The town's plentiful woods make the leafy
hamlet an ideal spot for hunters — and also provide ample camouflage for smugglers, who
have become so rampant that some locals are packing pistols to protect themselves and turning into
amateur sleuths to help thwart them.
Mass
Deportation — It CAN Be Done. It's going to be difficult to get tens of
millions of illegals out of the country. If there were some fear of that happening, the
Democratic Party would rise up and steal as much of the American taxpayers' money as necessary to
protect this future constituency of theirs. Corporations that want cheap labor would press
politicians with threats of reduced campaign money, and everybody knows politicians love other
people's money more than they love anything else. The illegals themselves would disappear
under rocks, into holes in the ground, and into every cavity and crevice they could find to escape
deportation. All they would then need to do is occasionally find their way to the nearest
Democratic Party-run welfare office, get their money, and then disappear again. Removing
these people from America will be a Herculean task. The Democrats know that and are chuckling
all the way to the mail-in ballot box. But, as difficult as it may be, mass deportation CAN
be done.
America's
Open Border — Intentionality or Incompetence? It's clear that America's
open border is an unmitigated disaster, allowing over 300,000 known migrants to enter the U.S. each
month. Migrants are arriving from all over the world, including from geopolitical adversaries
like China and Afghanistan. Few are vetted, meaning their health, criminal, education,
vocations, literacy, and motivations are unknown. Anyone can ask for political asylum, as
they are coached to do. To federal border agents, they are a massive herd of cattle, and it's
all they can do just to get them across the border, feed and hydrate them, and put them on plane to
Denver, New York, or Chicago. There are also an unknown number of euphemistically called
"gotaways," those waltzing into the U.S., not encountering a border agent, then just disappearing
somewhere into America's fruited plains. How many? CBP reports over 1,000 "known
"gotaways" a day. Recently impeached DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas acknowledges 600,000
"gotaways" in 2023. These are the "known" ones. How many are unknown? Likely at least
as many as known. In total, this is more than the 3.9 million population of Los Angeles
added to America's welfare rolls each year.
Biden's
border blackmail. One week after Senate Republicans rejected White House-backed
legislation that would have sent $3.7 billion to bail out sanctuary cities while also
mandating the catch and release of all migrants arrested for illegally entering America from
Mexico, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials threatened to release thousands more migrants
into the U.S. by slashing capacity to detain them at the border. This unveiled threat by
President Joe Biden is despicable, but is also laughably empty, for the cuts he is threatening are
to the exact levels his administration sought in his last budget. Biden's plan to deal with
budget shortfalls at ICE, caused entirely by his misgovernment of the border, is just a rehash of
how he wanted to deploy ICE resources in the first place. When Biden became president, ICE
could detain more than 55,000 migrants at one time. Immediately upon taking office, Biden
began dismantling this detention capacity to just 29,000 beds. He has sought to lower it
further, requesting 25,000 detention beds in each of his last two budget requests.
Illegals
Nation: A 'great replacement' beginning to unfold? Up until now, I'd always
thought the 'great replacement' theory to remove the current Western electorate and replace them
with third-world illegal migrants was some nutty fringe-right conspiracy theory. The idea has
been roundly denounced by the establishment as racist, although the French novelist who invented
the theory in 2011, Renaud Camus, insisted that his theory was about civilizational values, not
skin color. These days, based on how the migrant crisis is unfolding in a couple of
developments, it's possible to wonder. [...] Much of the concern about open borders up until now
has been about illegal immigrants voting in U.S. elections, which as Power Line has noted, is
already happening in California. However, based on this information, all they need to do is
be illegally present, not vote, voting in fact is unimportant because entire congressional seats
will be allocated based on their presence alone.
Homeland
Security: We Don't Track Illegal Immigrants. The Biden Administration has made
it clear that they want to flood the country and are happy they are moving around freely. In
fact, they get free flights and bus trips, and their entry papers are as good as a passport,
allowing them to go wherever they want no questions asked. So when a Washington Post reporter
asked about where the illegal immigrants are going, the Department replied with what amounts to a
shrug. Who knows? [Tweet]
Under
the Democrats' Rule, America Has Become A Failed State. Since Joe Biden has been
president, almost 10 million people, mostly military-aged males, have poured across our
border. American taxpayers must support virtually every one of them. To put that in
perspective, if they were a state, the illegal aliens who arrived since Biden's inauguration would
be the 11th largest state, just above New Jersey and just below Michigan. Add to that the
20 million illegals already here, and they would be a larger population than every state other
than California and Texas. But it's not just that the government is allowing millions of
people to invade the country. It's also what governments are doing once the invaders are
here. Boston closed a community center to house the illegals. New York City has been
paying tens of millions of dollars to hotels to house them and recently forced kids to attend
school online because their schools were filled with illegals. What's more, two weeks ago,
New York's mayor announced the city would give $53 million in prepaid debit cards to
illegals. Astonishingly, some places give illegals more than citizens on welfare! All
of this costs likely more than $300 billion a year, twice widely circulated estimates of
$150 billion that base their number on the laughable assumption that there are only
15 million illegal aliens in America when the number is likely more than 30 million.
The Editor says...
Reasonable estimates seen on the internet (but certainly not in the broadcast news media) said
"the number is likely more than 30 million" at least ten years ago — long before
the Mexican border was intentionally opened up.
Report:
Illegal Border Crossings Are Now Surging at the Northern Border Too. While most
people are focused on the invasion currently taking place on the southern border, America's
northern border is also under assault. According to recent reporting, illegal border crossers
are attracted to the northern border because they know there are far fewer security staffers and
border patrol agents. This story doesn't get nearly as much media attention as the southern
border, but it's just as important.
Why
does it seem like most members of Congress are either stupid, rapacious, or both?
Biden's list of failures is long and well-known, from the Afghanistan withdrawal to provoking Putin
to invade Ukraine, to interfering with Israel's war against Hamas; these are just some of the
lowlights. The biggest and most egregious catastrophe is the open border and his standing
invitation to any and all foreigners who can afford to make the trip (they all pay the cartels and
coyotes). The nation has been invaded, our demographics permanently altered, by perhaps as many as
ten million unvetted persons from 170 countries. NYC and Chicago have been
destroyed. Denver, a sanctuary city, has been overrun, its hospital in breakdown mode.
Most homes and ranches on the border have been ruined. Homeowners find dead bodies on their
land. If they defend themselves against criminal migrants, it is the homeowner who is
arrested. The world is upside down.
What
Is Congress For? [Scroll down] But nowadays, it seems that most Americans
have forgotten what that war was all about. And the fact that Mayorkas's impeachment passed
the House by only one vote, and is dead on arrival in the Senate, does not bode well for our
country's future. Basically, about half the members of Congress are saying that it's okay for
a Cabinet secretary to nullify immigration laws and let ten million foreigners illegally enter the
United States, so long as he's acting in service of ideology rather than doing it for a bribe.
House
Votes to Impeach Mayorkas. The House on Tuesday voted for a second time to impeach
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas after the first vote failed last week. This
time, Republicans received the outcome they sought. "Tonight's vote was a vote for law and
order in our communities, and a vote to restore the rule of law at our southern border,"
Rep. John Joyce, R-Penn., told The Daily Signal. On Tuesday night, 214 House members
voted in favor of impeaching the DHS secretary, and 213 voted in opposition. No Democrats
voted in favor. Three Republicans, Reps. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin, Ken Buck of
Colorado, and Tom McClintock of California, also voted for a second time against impeachment.
Dodging
the 13th Amendment. Boston TV stations are airing "exclusives" this Valentine's Week
about area residents taking illegal aliens — refugees in wokespeak — into
their homes. [...] Quartering illegals in homes, too, is a disaster waiting to happen as liberals
spin the dial of strangers in the house and someone gets macheted. But that is the chance you
take when you want free labor. [...] Of course, for every nice illegal alien who cooks, Democrats
let in a gangbanger, a drug dealer, a Chinese spy and a Muslim terrorist. Nightly soft-focus
exclusives on Boston TV stations won't change that. White Democrats have a history of liking
food prepared by black cooks who smile and work for free. Two centuries ago, Democrats took
into their plantations refugees from the kingdoms of Ghana and Dahomey, where they had served as
slaves. In America, they taught them to farm and grow cotton. They got room and board
in exchange for the cotton. Democrats had no problem with that arrangement.
Biden's
rage and crapulence, staff's cowardice and ignorance, all worsened border crisis —
Axios. [Scroll down] Senile or not, someone like that is no leader and
obviously doesn't know what he's doing. Other reports have stated that he took his marching
orders solely from open-borders activists. [...] Meanwhile, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan
turned his end of the migration crisis over to someone named Liz Sherwood-Randall whose title was
Homeland Security advisor, and who was so ignorant about the matter she didn't know the difference
between an asylum-seeker and a refugee. Rather than cover her tracks by secretly googling the
difference, she asked staff to prepare a briefing for her on this Wikipedia-level matter.
There was finger-pointing at the Department of State for "dragging its feet" on migrant intake
centers in countries of origin, which is baloney, and State rightly denied it because we have been
following this issue, and there was constant staff turnover since everyone knew it was a mess and
nobody wanted to have their name on it. They fought with each other, with some clearly
cognizant of what was happening and others in the throes of the open-borders activists who
obviously have a monetary interest in perpetuating the crisis.
'We
Are in The Thick of an Invasion': More than 12,000 Illegal Aliens from 48 Countries
Apprehended in Tucson Sector Alone This Week. 12,081 illegal aliens were apprehended
from 48 separate countries in the U.S Border Patrol's Tucson Sector during this past week, reported
the Tucson Standard. The publication was reporting on data shared on X by John R. Modlin,
Chief Patrol Agent of the sector: [Tweet] Arizona State Sen. Janae Shamp (R-Surprise)
said the numbers are further evidence that we are in "the thick of an invasion," telling the NW
Valley Times: ["]Thanks to the Biden Administration's refusal to secure our border, the
illegal activity — including an unprecedented amount of human smuggling and drug
smuggling — are no longer mere issues. We are in the thick of an invasion.
It's time to take the handcuffs off our sheriffs who have been elected to protect the citizens of
Arizona, which is why I introduced the Arizona Border Invasion Act — SB 1231.["]
Shamp's bill would make it a crime in Arizona to cross the border from Mexico into the state,
except through official ports of entry. It would also provide liability protections for state
and local officials who enforce the law.
Mayorkas
Says He Does Not Regret Terminating Trump's 'Remain In Mexico' Policy After Millions of
Military-Age Males Invade [the] US. More deflection, more excuses. The Biden
regime has had three years to lock down the border and they simply refused to do so. DHS
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was on NBC's "Meet The Press" on Sunday morning to talk about the
border crisis. "You have now been in your position for three years, and let's talk about what's
happened during those three years. More migrants have crossed the border illegally last year
than ever before," Kristin Welker said to Secretary Mayorkas. "The data you cite is a powerful
example of why we need legislation to fix what everyone agrees is a broken immigration system[,]"
Secretary Mayorkas responded.
Refugee
Assistance Cost Taxpayers $20 Billion In Two Years. The federal Office of
Refugee Resettlement spent $20 billion over the last two years on "refugee and entrant
assistance" for those entering the country legally or illegally, according to a report from
OpenTheBooks.com. Services included legal assistance, medical screening, housing assistance,
cultural orientation, work authorization, public benefits application, school enrollment, mental
health services, cash support and Medicaid access. The spending represents an increase of
billions of dollars over previous years and includes potential conflicts of interest with the
agency's director.
Red
state dilemma: stand up to incoming progressive residents or flee? No one can dispute
how politically different Red states are from Blue states in our super-polarized country.
When a large group of ideologically motivated people (usually leftists) move into a state, county,
or neighborhood, things invariably change. The question for conservatives, who are usually
the ones whose nice communities are changed for the worse, is whether they should flee or
fight. The once-conservative People's Republic of Colorado perfectly proves how an
influx of leftists changes an area. Most recently, Colorado decided to remove Donald Trump
from the ballot. Last week, the Supreme Court carefully considered the pros and cons of
removing Trump from the ballot. It's likely they'll side with Trump. But this all could
have been avoided had Colorado's population centers not been populated by political fanatics who
feel that common sense and fairness should be replaced with pure partisanship.
There
[Have] Been Over 1.5 Million Migrant Encounters At The Border Since Mayorkas Last Said It Was
'Secure'. [Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas faces impeachment in the
House of Representatives over his handling of the border "crisis," a word he will not use, as
illegal immigration continues to surge under the Biden administration. The U.S. Border Patrol
made 1,589,148 migrant encounters at the southern border since Mayorkas last said that the "border
is secure" during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing in April 2023, according to
Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) and data obtained by Fox News.
Book
review: Open Borders Inc.: Who's Funding America's Destruction? Six of the nine
voluntary agencies resettling "refugees" in America are religious in nature. In order of
annual revenue, they are:
  Catholic Charities/US Conference of Catholic Bishops: $742.6 million
  Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services: $471.6 million
  Church World Services: $433.3 Million
  World Relief: $416.1 Million
  Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society: $186.1 million
  Episcopal Migration Ministries: $146.7 million
The work these agencies do is not charitable; they are paid for everyone they settle. There used
to be a program under which the agencies could settled refugees at their own expense, but it was
canceled in the mid-1990s for lack of use. Most "refugees" are chosen by the UN, which
acknowledges that few of them are in immediate danger. Little can be done to verify their
stories, and some get into the program by paying bribes to UN agents.
Two
US Members of Congress Denied Access to Secretive Federally-Funded "Migrant Facility" for Oversight
of Taxpayer Spending. Earlier this week, journalist James O'Keefe of O'Keefe Media
Group visited a Ramada Inn by Wyndham converted to a migrant housing facility that is reportedly
being run by the Casa Alitas program in Tucson, Arizona. According to O'Keefe, buses were
coming in with new migrants every 15 minutes, including during his "interrogation" by a Pima
County Sheriff Deputy. During the interaction, O'Keefe disclosed that he had an "undercover"
inside the facility. It was reported by O'Keefe that there was a makeshift room in the hotel
with over 150 cots set up.

Ways Joe Biden Opened America's Borders to the World's Migrants. Since President Joe
Biden took office in late January 2021, his Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has worked
tirelessly to transform the United States-Mexico border into a European-style checkpoint where
border crossers and illegal aliens are briefly detained before being released into American cities
and towns. Biden's policies have been highly effective in achieving the administration's
ultimate goal to massively inflate the foreign-born population to the largest ever recorded,
standing at nearly 50 million today. The latest Congressional Budget Office (CBO)
estimate suggests that about 6.2 million border crossers and illegal aliens have been welcomed
to the U.S. from January 20, 2021, through December 2023 — a foreign
population just two million shy of New York City's population.
Immigration laws are already in place — just enforce the law. No action by Congress is necessary. The
Biden administration is considering executive action to deter illegal migration at the southern
border. The Biden administration is considering taking executive action to deter
illegal migration across the southern border, according to two U.S. officials. As passing
legislation on border security in Congress appears unlikely, the plans under consideration signal
that the White House wants to take action before numbers at the border, which have dropped in the
past month, rise again as expected. The plans have been under consideration for months, the
officials said. In December, as Congress prepared to leave town for the holidays with no
border solution, illegal crossings of the southwest border hit records at more than 10,000 per day.
Dem
senator torched for calling illegal migrants the 'people we care about most:' 'Giving away' the
game. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., was condemned by conservatives and immigration
experts after he stated that illegal immigrants are the people "we care about most." When MSNBC
host Chris Hayes asked Murphy on Wednesday about the failed border security bill, the Connecticut
senator said, rather than pushing for a path to citizenship in border legislation negotiations like
the party has in the past, Democrats were advocating for Ukraine funding. "Well, I mean,
Chris, that's been a failed play for 20 years. So you are right that that has been the
Democratic strategy for 30 years, maybe, and it has failed to deliver for the people we care
about most, the undocumented Americans that are in this country," Murphy said.
Biden
admin strikes 'secret' deal with Mexico while pushing border deal; sees 50% drop in traffic:
report. The Biden administration allegedly struck a secret border deal with Mexico to
help the president in the upcoming election as illegal immigration dropped by a whopping
50 percent in January. Most conservatives see the meeting between Biden's cabinet
members and Mexican officials resulting in a massive drop in illegal immigrants crossing the border
as anything but coincidental. "The number of migrants apprehended along the southwest border
with Mexico in January fell by more than 50 percent from the record-shattering report in
December. Following dropping approval ratings for President Joe Biden on the topic of
immigration and border security and a meeting between the Mexican president and two Biden
administration cabinet members, actions taken by the Mexican government led to a drop of more than
125,000 migrant apprehensions in January," Breitbart reported.
The
Absurd Democrat Border Con. In 2021, Joe Biden opened wide an inherited, secure
southern border that had finally stopped mass illegal immigration. When he overturned Donald
Trump's efforts, a planned flood of over 8 million illegal immigrants entered the U.S.
Almost all arrived without background checks, health screening, or vaccination
certificates — but with massive needs for free housing, education, healthcare, and food
entitlements and subsidies. For four years, Donald Trump battled the courts, his Democratic
opposition, and the open-border establishments within his own party to ensure legal-only
immigration. Somehow, he rebuilt some of the old porous border fence. He had begun to
build his long-promised new wall to the Gulf of Mexico. He had ended Obama-era
catch-and-release. Would-be refugees had to apply for asylum in their home country.
Trump leveraged Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to police his own border
and stop cynically transiting millions of illegal aliens into the U.S. There was general
Democratic Party opposition to all of Trump's measures, both through Congress and via the
courts. For the last three years of Biden's mass influx, the left has applauded open
borders. That is, until late last year, when overwhelmed southern border state governors
began busing and flying illegal immigrants en masse to northern sanctuary-city jurisdictions.
Without
Mass Deportations, America's Demographics Shift Will Result In Radical Politics. The
much-anticipated Senate border bill unveiled this week is another example of the destructive and
unserious people who lead this nation. President Biden and Democrats are now blaming
Republicans for failing to pass the bill, but the reality is that for the "open borders" Democrat
Party, everything is going according to plan. The Democrat Party is well on its way to
fundamentally changing America's demographics, all to secure what they believe will eventually
become an unbeatable coalition of new voters. To understand the progress they've made,
consider that in 2018, research conducted at MIT and Yale determined that the most accurate
population estimate of illegal aliens residing in the U.S. was 22.1 million. Given the
staggering surge of illegal aliens under the Biden administration, that estimate would now be in
the range of 30-plus million. To put that into perspective, if we created a 51st state
comprised entirely of illegal aliens, its population would be larger than every state except
California, and it would be 77 percent of the entire population of Canada. Going
forward, even if we somehow prevent 100 percent of future illegal immigration, it only buys us
time — and not much. Democrats know this, of course. It's the reason they
continue to accept short-term backlash from our open border in exchange for a long-term
payoff. By pointing out that illegal aliens cannot vote, the left claims that this whole
thing is a "racist conspiracy theory."
Biden's
border blame game is a cynical lie and everyone knows it. Immediately upon taking
office, Joe Biden reversed President Trump's "stay-in-Mexico" policy. Under that policy,
immigrants seeking asylum were required to stay in Mexico or their home country while applying for
asylum in the United States. The alternative — followed by the preceding Obama
Administration — is for the immigrants to enter the country with the proviso that they
have to show up for a hearing some months or years in the future to determine their asylum
claim. Of course, many immigrants never showed up for their hearings, and simply remained in
the country illegally.
House
vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas fails, thwarted by Republican
defections. In a dramatic setback, House Republicans failed Tuesday to impeach
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, forced to shelve a high-profile
priority — for now — after a few GOP lawmakers refused to go along with the
party's plan. The stunning roll call fell just a single vote short of impeaching Mayorkas,
stalling the Republicans' drive to punish the Biden administration over its handling of the
U.S-Mexico border. With Democrats united against the charges, the Republicans needed almost
every vote from their slim majority to approve the articles of impeachment. A noisy, rowdy
scene erupted on the House floor as the vote was tied for several tense minutes, 215-215.
Republicans
fail to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas over border crisis. House Republicans failed to
impeach Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas for his mishandling of the southern border
crisis in a nail-biting vote that came down to the wire. The 214-216 vote marked the second
of three major legislative failures of the day for House Republicans who remain deeply divided
across the House and Senate. Immediately after the embarrassing Mayorkas vote, Speaker Mike
Johnson's $17.6 billion Israel aid stand-alone bill spectacularly failed in a 250 to 218 vote,
another humiliating defeat for Republicans in a span of 15 minutes.
House
Republicans Are No Votes on Mayorkas Impeachment. The articles accuse Mayorkas of a
"breach of trust" and a "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" in his handling of
the Biden border crisis. It is hard to argue with those accusations. However, the truth
is that even if Republicans successfully vote for the articles and it goes to the Senate for an
impeachment trial, it would all stop there. The Senate won't vote for Mayorkas to be
impeached. Joe Biden won't fire Mayorkas. The Biden border crisis is intentional.
Most Democrats want an open border. Mayorkas is doing what he is told to do by Biden or
whoever is running the White House.
Biden
Gives Game Plan Away: [The] Senate Bill [is a] Precursor to Amnesty for Illegals.
President Joe Biden says a bill from Sens. James Lankford (R-OK), Chris Murphy (D-CT), and
Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) is merely a precursor to ramming amnesty for millions of illegal aliens
through Congress. During an address at the White House on Tuesday, Biden praised the Senate
bill that would expand overall immigration to the United States by codifying his parole pipeline
that has freed hundreds of thousands of border crossers into the nation's interior.
The
new 'border security' bill is about legalizing illegals. The Democrats in Congress
obviously aren't serious about stopping the crisis at the U.S. southern border, judging by the bill
that they negotiated to address the crisis. That said, the Republicans who agreed to this
bill might as well change their party affiliation. "I have no doubt that the Senate can, once
again, rise to the occasion and lead America forward," wrote Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer
on X (Twitter). Not only does it show where their loyalties lie (and it's not with the United
States), but it will anger their voters, making it less likely they will be re-elected this fall.
'No'
to the Border Deal. The United States has a set of rules intended to exclude illegal
immigrants from the country, and now Republicans find themselves negotiating over to what extent
those rules can be ignored. The group of senators that worked on a border deal with the White
House for months has finally released the text of a bill that is touted as ending "catch and
release" and mandating a "shutdown of the border" if illegal crossings exceed 5,000 a day.
President Joe Biden, who has done so much to create a de facto open border since the initial days
of his administration, suddenly says this legislation is necessary so he can unleash his inner
border hawk. The bill is, to be sure, the best bipartisan immigration bill we've seen out of
Washington, D.C., in decades, although that is an extremely low standard. The deal has worthy
provisions, but it's not going to compel Joe Biden to do anything he doesn't want to and further
entrenches a system that has been fundamentally distorted by mass bogus asylum claims.
Senate
Border Bill Would Hand $1.4 Billion to Nonprofits That Help Illegal Migrants.
The Senate's border funding bill released Sunday night would allocate $1.4 billion for
nonprofit organizations that help migrants who enter the U.S. illegally. Page 67 of the
370-page bill contains a provision stating that $1.4 billion "shall be transferred to [the
category of] 'Federal Emergency Management Agency — Federal Assistance' to support
sheltering and related activities provided by non-federal entities through the Shelter Services
Program." The Emergency National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act [of] 2024 would
allocate $118 billion in total, including $48 billion to aid Ukraine in its war with
Russia and nearly $16 billion to aid Israel during its conflict with Hamas, until Dec. 31.
The
Moral Hazard Of An Open Border. An average of more than 200,000 immigrants a month
have illegally jumped America's southern border during Joe Biden's three years in the White House,
almost four times the monthly rate of crossings under Donald Trump. By any fair description,
our southern border is open, and this has created a humanitarian crisis of emigres being processed
in cities where there are not enough services to meet the surging demand. The Democrats and
their marketing department, known as the media, insist that we have a principled obligation to
absorb the immigrants. Some seem to think the poem found on the Statue of Liberty that asks
"ancient lands" to "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" is
actually U.S. law. Or at least a tenet that we all have the duty to live by.
The
Invasion of Illegal Aliens — It's Insane. Sources are saying that the
majority of people flooding in through the Southern Border are now from Africa and the Middle East,
with a lot of Chinese thrown in for good measure. They denied two of my employees from Europe
who have UK and German passports and have been coming to the USA before to come in for the WEC last
November. All of a sudden, there is discrimination going on, and it's about if they are
educated and skilled, they are denied. The Biden administration is completely out of
control. We cannot afford another four years of this insanity. The total "official"
amount of illegal aliens has exceeded 6 million.
The
Big Apple goes debit card mad. The migrant story now has a debit card chapter.
I thought that the story was a joke when it came across the internet; it wasn't. [...] Furthermore,
isn't this going to encourage more migrants to take the New York-bound bus? I think so, and
most New Yorkers understand that.
McConnell
Retreats from Support of Border Deal, Lankford May Vote Against His Own Legislation.
Exactly how bad is the "bipartisan" legislation, which should be called, 'the border insecurity in
exchange for Ukraine money act'? The bill is so bad, and makes things so much worse, that James
Lankford may end up voting against his own legislative creation. Making matters worse, Mitch
McConnell is now pretending the entire fiasco wasn't his idea, further leaving James Lankford
out to dry on his own.
CVFC:
A Secret Illegal Immigrant Housing Operation to Populate The US. The United Nations
has been funding and coordinating the complex international trafficking operation of millions of
Illegal Immigrants arriving in South America, and traveling north thru the Darien Gap, then thru
Mexico, and finally to the United States. Barrack Hussein Obama has been supporting the UN
coordinated invasion of the US; the invasion has effectively eliminated the security of the US
Constitutional Republic. Illegal Aliens invading the United States are replacing the 300,000
of America's youth murdered over the last three years by smuggled Communist Chinese Fentanyl from
Mexico, and the 1.1 million Americans who have died from the Covid experimental shots.
The Illegal Immigration Housing Plan is being coordinated by Barack Hussein Obama, and the
communist Democrats. It is designed to "permanently" change the demographics of the United
States forever. The Illegal Immigration Housing Plan is designed to eliminate the Patriotic
character of the US Constitutional Republic in major cities and replace voting American Citizen in
those cities with Illegal Aliens who have absolutely no loyalty to the United States; they in fact
are hostile toward the United States and will be involved in the overthrow of the government of the
United States. In 2023 Fiscal Year, over 3 million Illegal Aliens from
161 countries walked into the US and were released into the US interior. Customs and
Border Protection stated that in the same Fiscal Year, 564 Terrorists listed on the FBI Terror
Watch List were captured at both the Southern and Northern Borders.
Illegal
aliens are a fiscal nightmare. President Biden has transformed America's southern
border into a humanitarian catastrophe and a national security nightmare. This bloody, deadly
mess is a clear and present danger to this republic. It is also a massive fiscal
threat. Mr. Biden's obliteration of the border is evaporating federal, state and local
coffers. Precise figures on anything illegal are, by definition, elusive. Nonetheless,
the Federation for American Immigration Reform's report "The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration
on United States Taxpayers 2023" estimates that taxpayers bleed $182.1 billion in annual
benefits to illegal aliens. This includes $66.4 billion in federal spending and
$115.7 billion in state and local outlays to those who have entered the country illegally.
[...] "Taxes paid by illegal aliens only cover around 17.2% of the costs they create for American
citizens," FAIR calculates. This includes $16.2 billion in federal taxes and
$15.2 billion in state and local levies. These $31.4 billion still stick U.S.
citizens with 82.8% of the illegals' $150.7 billion annual tab.
Under
the Senate's Atrocious Border Bill, Everybody Gets Asylum. The Senate's emergency
appropriations bill released on Sunday [2/4/2024] won't address the border crisis, and contrary to
the accomplice media's spin, the spending bill won't "severely curtail asylum at the US southern
border." [...] The backers of the Senate bill seek to portray its provisions as, in the words of
Joe Biden, the "toughest and fairest set of border reforms in decades." There is little that is
"tough" in the bill, however, and what is can easily be sidestepped — either by the
Biden administration or the throngs of illegal aliens invading from the south. Consider, for
instance, the "emergency authority" the bill would grant to the secretary of homeland security to
"summarily remove" aliens. But that authority only arises if the number of encounters with
aliens at the border averages 4,000 for seven consecutive days or more than 8,500 in any one
day. Beyond the flood of aliens allowed to enter the United States without triggering the
emergency authority, the statutory exemptions gut the secretary's authority. Specifically,
the bill provides that the border emergency authority cannot be used against "an unaccompanied
alien child," so every illegal alien who is under 18 — or can pass as someone who is
under 18 — will be allowed in.
Speaker
Johnson Pledges 'Worse Than Expected' Senate Border Bill 'Dead on Arrival' in House.
"I've seen enough," Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) declared Sunday night. Just
hours after Senate negotiators unveiled their pro-migration border bill, Johnson pledged the bill
would never move through the House. "This bill is even worse than we expected, and won't come
close to ending the border catastrophe the President has created," Johnson posted on X. "As the
lead Democrat negotiator proclaimed: Under this legislation, 'the border never closes.'" [Tweet]
NYC's
booming underground migrant economy exposes the true disaster of Biden's open border.
Immigration policies that admit vast numbers of low-skilled workers are a plague on Americans in
low-skill jobs, warned the late, great Barbara Jordan — the Texas congresswoman who
chaired President Bill Clinton's immigration commission back in the 1990s. Open borders make
a welfare state unworkable, warned America's leading socialist, Sen. Bernie
Sanders — before he started toeing the new Democratic Party line amid his 2016
presidential run. Warnings fully vindicated by The [New York] Post's Isabel Vincent's deep
dive into the city's cash-based underground migrant economy. Migrants from Africa and Latin
America, many if not most with little English, are taking underground jobs as food delivery
drivers, construction day laborers, cooks and cleaners. Some illegally use others' work
papers, or fake IDs, to work "legally"; others find employers willing to hire off the books so they
can pay less.
The
'Border Security' Deal Is Utter Trash, but There's One Provision That Is Just
Infuriating. On Sunday evening, the long-awaited text of the Senate's "border
security" deal was released. Despite claims from Sen. Kyrsten Sinema and Sen. James
Lankford that prior leaks were incorrect, the bill turned out to be just as bad as suspected, and
as I'm about to illustrate, perhaps even worse. Naturally, because the motivation for this
bill has never been the border crisis, Ukraine funding dominates the first part of the text, with
another $60 billion being sent to the Eastern European nation. Do Americans get a secure
Southern Border in return? That answer is made clear by several awful provisions, the worst
of which we'll get to later in the article. The one that's receiving the most attention was
leaked in the week before the Senate released the text. Namely, it says that the "border
emergency authority" does not even kick in until 5,000 illegal immigrants are "encountered" at the
border. That comes out to 1.8 million illegal entries a year before any of the
provisions for automatic deportation kick in.
Scandalous
Senate 'Deal' Allows 1.5 Million Illegals Per Year, Slides up to $2.3 Billion To NGOs Trafficking Them,
and Gives $60B To Ukraine. While the House has gone full 'Israel or Bust', the Senate has
come up with a $118 billion bipartisan agreement which would allow 1.5 million illegals
to enter the US every year, allocates $2.3 billion towards NGOs and other organizations which traffic
them, gives $14.1 billion in security assistance to Israel, and a whopping $60 billion in
support to Ukraine. The bill also locks in green card giveaways until 2030. [Tweet]
The agreement was reached by Sens. James Lankford (R-OK), whose own state legislature censured
him last week for striking such a [bad] border deal, along with Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Kyrsten Sinema
(I-AZ). [Tweet]
Schumer
Celebrates McConnell on Senate Immigration Plan: 'Have Never Worked More Closely'.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) celebrated Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) with
the reveal of the new immigration plan, adding that the two have "never worked more closely."
"I have never worked more closely with Leader McConnell on any piece of legislation as we did on
this," Schumer told reporters on Sunday, according to Andrew Desiderio of Punchbowl News.
[Tweet] As Breitbart News reported on Sunday, the newly revealed bill had some concessions
made on border security along with other glaring red flags: ["]The establishment
authors of the bill have largely hidden its contents — along with many possible
loopholes, exceptions, modifications, and caveats that can turn apparent restrictions into
government-funded welcomes. The bill was assembled behind closed doors by a tight circle of
establishment advocates — and their business donors.["]
Marsha
Blackburn Rails Against Establishment 'Border' Bill: I Will Never Vote to 'Make Illegal
Immigration Legal'. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) on Sunday railed against the
Senate "border" bill, saying that she would never vote to "make illegal immigration legal."
The Senate released its long-awaited border bill, which as Breitbart News editor Neil Munro
described, would only increase the flow of immigrants into America. Blackburn, a staunch
conservative, said that America should not tolerate one migrant crossing the border illegally.
The Editor says...
Why is the word staunch only applied to conservatives?
DHS
Chief Mayorkas Praises Senate Bill for Preserving Biden's Parole Pipeline at Southern Border.
President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is praising a Senate
bill from Sens. James Lankford (R-OK), Chris Murphy (D-CT), and Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) mostly for
preserving the administration's massive parole pipeline that has freed hundreds of thousands of border crossers
into American communities. Late Sunday evening, the senators released their highly-anticipated bill that
seeks to explode immigration to the United States even as Biden has welcomed a record number of foreign nationals
via the southern border.
Senate
Releases Establishment's Migration Bill. The Senate has released its long-awaited
"border" bill that reportedly increases the inflow of legalized immigrants into Americans'
communities, workplaces, and schools. Titled ''Emergency National Security Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 2024'," the 370-page bill was released at 6:40 p.m. on Sunday. It is
accompanied by a multi-billion dollar appropriations bill intended to fund the resources needed to
register, release, transport, and house migrants in Americans' coastal cities and inland
communities. The bill is being marketed as a "national security" bill as it seeks to overcome
opposition by Republican legislators whose election depends on the enthusiastic turnout of ordinary
populists who are worried about migration's lawlessness, pocketbook damage, crime, overcrowding,
and chaotic diversity.
Biden
and the Border. So the war over the border between Texas and the Biden Administration
is now in the "Sitzkrieg" stage. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has essentially declared
war on illegal immigration. He invoked Article I Section 10 of the United States
Constitution, which forbids states from declaring war except when "actually invaded" (or in such
imminent danger as to admit of no delay) and, by implication, allows them to declare war when that
happens. He also invoked the Guarantee Clause of Article IV, which requires the federal
government to protect the states against invasion. Abbott's legal argument is that since he's
being invaded, he's entitled to respond, and since the federal government is defaulting on its
obligations it has no business — it's basically estopped from —
complaining. There was a lot of huffing and puffing at the time, with members of Congress
calling on President Biden to federalize the Texas National Guard and the like, but basically,
nothing happened. The Supreme Court vacated an injunction forbidding the Border Patrol from
cutting the barbed wire that Texas had installed along the border, but — contrary to
many media reports — didn't rule that what Texas had done was illegal, or order Texas to
stop policing the border.
Culture
crash; thank the liberals. [Scroll down] Then there are the illegal
aliens. Lots of them. Tens of millions of them. The liberals who preside over the
cities virtuously signaled that these illegal aliens are welcome in their cities. To their
surprise, the illegal aliens took them seriously, and took their cities by storm. The
governor of Texas took them seriously too. When the illegal aliens grew from a trickle to a
flood across the Mexican border, to the point that small towns in Texas could not possibly manage
the numbers in a manner that was safe for either the aliens or the Texans, he shipped those who
were willing to those northern cities that had announced that they were welcome. For that, he
was of course called "racist." With all this virtue-signaling going on, Joe Biden naturally
wanted his share. He reversed the successful stay-in-Mexico policy that required prospective
immigrants seeking asylum to stay in Mexico or their home country while their requests were
processed — because that policy had been initiated by a man who was maniacal about
making America great again named Donald Trump. Biden also stopped construction of the border
wall and sold off the materials in stock awaiting use on the wall. Because MAGA-maniacal Trump.
Schumer
And McConnell Want Senators To Pass Their $106 Billion Border Bill Without Reading It.
Yesterday, a reporter standing outside the Senate chamber told me that after four months of secrecy, The
Firm™ plans to release the text of the $106 billion supplemental aid/border-security
package — possibly as soon as today. Wasting no time, she then asked, "If you get
the bill by tomorrow, will you be ready to vote on it by Tuesday?" [...] The reporter immediately
understood that my frustration was not directed at her. Rather, it was directed at the Law
Firm of Schumer & McConnell (The Firm™), which is perpetually trying to normalize a corrupt
approach to legislating, in which The Firm™:
[#1] Spends months drafting legislation in complete secrecy
[#2] Aggressively markets that legislation based not on its details and practical implications
(good and bad), but only on its broadest, least-controversial objectives
[#3] Lets members see bill text for the first time only a few days (sometimes a few hours)
before an arbitrary deadline imposed by The Firm™ itself, always with a contrived sense of urgency
[#4] Forces a vote on the legislation on or before that deadline, denying senators
any real opportunity to read, digest, and debate the measure on its merits, much less introduce, consider,
and vote on amendments to fix any perceived problems with the bill or otherwise improve it.
Whenever The Firm™ engages in this practice, it largely excludes nearly every senator from
the constitutionally prescribed process in which all senators are supposed to participate. By so
doing, The Firm™ effectively disenfranchises hundreds of millions of Americans — at least
for purposes relevant to the legislation at hand — and that's tragic. It's also
un-American, uncivil, uncollegial, and really uncool.
The
Democrats Create an Alice in the Looking Glass World. Millions of people —
mostly military-age men — from almost every country on the globe are being processed by
the Borden Patrol and released with orders to show up for hearings, many not set for several years
distant, during which time the Democrats will certainly seek an electoral advantage. Since
districting for voting and disbursement of federal funds is based on the number of residents,
regardless of their legal status, districts with lots of illegals will get a weighted
advantage. Most of the amnesty applications are groundless, but most likely the Democrats
will seek amnesty for these millions. President Trump had begun wall construction and set in
place policies to stop this. Within 100 days of taking office, Biden took 94 executive
actions which smoothed the way for the massive influx of illegal immigrants. Legalizing them
will effectively create a one-party state. Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who is now facing
impeachment proceedings, worked to make deportation of these people nearly impossible.
What
the Border Crisis Looks Like on the Ground in Eagle Pass. The clothing strewn across
the riverbank gives away that Shelby Park on the Rio Grande was a major crossing point for illegal
aliens not long ago. But since Texas National Guard assumed control of the park, the
crossings have nearly stopped entirely, according to authorities. The Daily Signal visited
Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, Thursday and spoke with members of the National Guard. The
military officials said the illegal crossings have ground to a near halt since early January when
National Guard took over operations at the park, which sits on the border of Mexico. The
narrow and shallow water of the Rio Grande on the edge of Shelby Park makes the site an appealing
crossing point. Border Patrol used the wide-open space of the park as a holding location for
the illegal aliens after they crossed the river. [Tweet]
NYC
launches $53M program to hand out pre-paid credit cards to migrant families. Mayor
Eric Adams' administration will soon start handing out pre-paid credit cards to migrant families
being put up in Big Apple hotels, The [New York] Post has learned. The $53 million pilot
program, run by the New Jersey company Mobility Capital Finance, will provide asylum seekers
arriving at the Roosevelt Hotel with the city cash to help them buy food, according to city
records. It'll start with a group of 500 migrant families in short-term hotel stays and will
replace the current food service offered there, according to City Hall. The cards can only be
used at bodegas, grocery stores, supermarkets and convenience stores — and migrants must
sign an affidavit swearing they will only spend the funds on food and baby supplies or they will be
kicked out of the program.
64 Times
the Biden Administration Intentionally Undermined Border Security. Last week, in a
weak attempt to shift blame for a crisis their own policies created, the White House clumsily tried
claim that House Republicans had an "anti-border security record" by voting to "eliminate over
2,000 border patrol agents and erode our capacity to seize fentanyl." These claims were
demonstrably untrue, previously disproven, and underscored the Biden Administration's failure to
secure our southern border, marked by record high crossings in December and widespread national
recognition that the situation at our border is a crisis. "Since his first day in office,
President Biden and his administration have worked to systematically undermine America's border
security," Speaker Johnson said. "On more than 60 occasions, he has manipulated the federal
bureaucracy to open our borders to illegal immigrants, human trafficking, fentanyl, and potential
terrorists. The result is a humanitarian and national security catastrophe. The
President must use his executive authority to repair what he has broken. I am calling on him
to do so."
Is
America Already A Dead Country? The Democrat party's open southern border has allowed
millions of able-bodied, unvetted young men into the United States. Is a terrorist
attack coming? The porous border was the number one issue for New Hampshire primary
voters — and New Hampshire is quite a distance from the southern border. It was
also top of mind for Iowa's voters, another state far from Mexico. Let's assume
7 million unvetted illegal alien invaders have waltzed into our country since
January 2021. If just one-quarter of 1 percent have malicious intent to do us harm,
that would be 17,500 people, all of whom are scattered across the United States, with many
receiving free housing, free medical, free education, free driver's licenses, free iPhones and, in
some cases, free ballots. It is estimated that the United States government has so far spent
more than a whopping $450 billion on these illegal invaders. Think what ONE
person can do when they go on a murderous rampage at a school, shopping mall, or Las Vegas hotel,
and then multiply that by the possibility of thousands of terrorists waiting to cause injury,
death, and havoc from sea to shining sea.
From
Hamas to drunk drivers, is there anybody Democrats won't vote against deporting?
Other than German homeschoolers, is there any group of illegally present foreign nationals
Democrats won't vote to protect from deportation? Four immigration bills were presented in
Congress and all were no-brainers to pass, but Democrats voted 'no,' on all of them. Among
the millions of illegals in the U.S. there are the Social Security number thieves, identity thieves
who steal others' Social Security benefits. What did Democrats do in Congress when a deportation
bill came up on Thursday? But of course. They voted against deporting them.
[Tweet] In the same bill, they voted to keep illegals convicted of drunk driving exempt from
deportation, too.
Secret
Room Under Atlanta Airport Seems To Be Housing Illegal Immigrants, Guarded By US
Servicemen. [V]ideo exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation appears
to show a U.S. service member guarding a room chock-full of illegal immigrants at Atlanta's
Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Republican state Sen. Colton Moore, who is the
vice chairman of the Georgia Freedom Caucus, took the video Tuesday night and told the DCNF that he
learned of the hidden room full of migrants through a "whistleblower" at Atlanta's airport, who
noticed an influx of illegal migrants coming through the facility in recent months. In the
video, there appears to be a uniformed soldier guarding a room full of migrants and volunteers with
a group called Team Libertad, which boasts of helping migrants travel on its social media
accounts. [Video clip]
Impeach
the bum! You can tell what a good idea it is to impeach Homeland Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas, just by all the screeching leftists who oppose the idea. MSNBC and their brethren
have devoted endless hours to proclaiming there is no evidence on which to base his removal.
Except, of course, for the millions of illegals and tons of fentanyl welcomed through our borders
without objection. What we have is a grotesque dereliction of duty by the secretary (who for
some odd reason is the spitting image of the Japanese anime character Krillin) and under the terms
of Article I he can be impeached and removed for "high crimes and misdemeanors." [...] The House
impeachment articles state ad nauseum Mayorkas' constant refusal to do his job or follow dozens of
laws he is obliged to enforce. To a certain extent, officers of the executive department have
flexibility in carrying out their duties, but they cannot simply refuse to do them at all.
Any more than officials of the Treasury department could ignore random visitors entering their
premises and walking off with bags of money.
State
Senator Discovers Migrants in 'Hidden Room' Inside Atlanta Airport, Gets Forced Out When Trying to
Record. A Republican Georgia state senator caused a fuss at Atlanta's airport Tuesday
night as he sought to document illegal immigrants passing through the facility. State
Sen. Colton Moore, vice chairman of the Georgia Freedom Caucus, said he went to Atlanta's
Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport after getting a tip from a whistleblower about the
presence of illegal immigrants at the airport, according to the Daily Caller. What he found
was a room filled with illegal immigrants with what appeared to be a U.S. soldier guarding them.
Brilliant analysis! NY
Times: Migrants Keep Coming Because They Know They Can Stay. I find myself a
bit surprised to see some of what follows in print, not because any of it is new but instead
because things that have been obvious for a long time are now being published as true by the NY
Times. The piece, which is labeled analysis, opens by noting that people are streaming
across the border and turning themselves in to authorities to claim asylum for one clear reason.
[...] What is happening here is a gaming of the system. Migrants either don't know or don't
care that they aren't eligible for asylum. What they know is that by claiming it, they can
stay. [...] Under current law, anyone whose asylum case isn't wrapped up in 5 months gets a
work permit. These days that means almost everyone gets a work permit. And because of
the massive backlog of cases, the current time to clear one is many years. By the time the
applicant's claim is rejected, ICE more or less doesn't care. Unless someone has been
convicted of a felony they can just stay in the US which was their goal all along anyway.
HHS
Committee Votes to Impeach Secretary Mayorkas As Democrats Blame Republicans for the Border
Catastrophe. The House Homeland Security Committee voted to impeach Department of
Homeland Security Mayorkas after a marathon 13-hour hearing. The vote was along party lines,
18 [to] 15. A full house vote will likely take place next week. This is a rare
event. No cabinet member has been impeached in over 150 years. Yet, that is how bad
the Biden border catastrophe has gotten. Democrats on the committee tried to flip the script and
blame Republicans for what is happening on the southern border. Chairman Green blamed Mayorkas
for failing to comply with immigration laws already on the books.
The
Death of Citizenship. From 1860 to 2000, in the largest legal migration in human
history, over 61 million immigrants arrived in the United States. They were not only
escaping poverty and oppression, but they were eager to assimilate and attain the most sought-after
national status in the world — American citizenship. Today in the 21st century,
American citizenship and its one-of-a-kind written contract with the government, the Constitution
and Bill of Rights, is teetering on the edge of meaninglessness brought about by the relentless
onslaught of the nation's ruling class and their American Marxist allies. [...] One of the basic
birthrights of American citizenship, faith in fair and free elections, has been seriously
imperiled. The nation's borders are being deliberately dismantled. The enumerated
rights of Americans are being relentlessly eroded. And one of the primary foundational
underpinnings of America, assimilation and belief in the uniqueness of the nation, is being rapidly
and ruthlessly undermined. [...] No nation can maintain its status as a nation without secure and
identifiable borders. Citizenship means nothing if untold millions of illegal immigrants
openly defy the laws without consequence.
Biden,
the border, and Texas: federal troops next? In 1957, defiant Arkansas Governor Orval
Faubus ignored Supreme Court orders to integrate Little Rock's Central High School. To
enforce the Court's historic decision, President Dwight Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas
National Guard and sent in the 101st Airborne. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy federalized
and took control of the Alabama National Guard after Governor George Wallace used guardsmen to
block court-ordered integration of the University of Alabama. The root of today's contest
between Texas and the Oval Office differs from the Arkansas and Alabama episodes. In 1957 and
1963, governors defied federal authorities attempting to uphold the law. Today, the
roles are reversed: a governor, Texas's Greg Abbott, finds himself forced to perform what is
largely a federal responsibility — border security — because Washington, D.C.
categorically refuses to perform its constitutional duty. Ground Zero for Abbott's effort is
Eagle Pass, Texas, where the Texas National Guard and the Texas Department of Public Safety have
barred illegal entry by border violators over federal objections.
Biden
Doesn't Have Any Legal Authority to Seize Control of Texas National Guard. Texas
Democratic politicians, such as Rep. Joaquin Castro and failed gubernatorial and Senate
candidate Beto O'Rourke, are urging President Joe Biden to seize control of the Texas National
Guard, which Republican Gov. Greg Abbott has mobilized to help secure the Texas border.
Abbott did so in the face of the deliberate and intentional inaction by the Biden administration to
make sure the border stays open so millions of illegal aliens could continue to flood across from
Mexico. Under the circumstances, any such move by the president would be an abuse of the
applicable law. A number of federal statutes govern the National Guard, which is the modern
equivalent of state militias and a reserve component of our military. Under 10 U.S.C.
§ 12301(a), the secretary of defense (and thus the president) is given the authority in
"time of war or of national emergency declared by Congress, or when otherwise authorized by law" to
order National Guard units to active duty. But they cannot be called to active duty by the
president "without the consent of the governor of the State." If the governor consents, the unit
called into federal service under Title 10 reports to the president as the commander in chief while
in federal service. State governors, however, like Abbott, remain the commanders in chief of
their state National Guard units, such as the Texas National Guard, unless they have consented to
the president's call for those units to be in active federal service.
Lankford
Plan Helps Biden Migration, Hinders Trump Crackdown. Sen. James Lankford's
(R-OK) border proposal helps President Joe Biden import more migrants — and hinders
President Donald Trump from reducing the inflow, says Rosemary Jenks, at the Immigration
Accountability Project. The key problem is the so-called "trigger" authorization that
automatically curbs immigration once 8,500 illegals arrive at the border in one day, or
5,000 people arrive for seven days in a row, Jenks told Breitbart News. [...] Yet advocates,
including Lankford and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) — who strongly supports more labor
migration — describe the trigger as a key feature of the proposal.
Oklahoma
Republican Party Ends 'All Support' for Sen. James Lankford over Senate Deal to Expand
Immigration. The Oklahoma Republican Party is ceasing "all support" for
Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) as he leads negotiations with other Republicans and Democrats for a
Senate deal that would expand illegal and legal immigration to the United States. As
Breitbart News has detailed, Lankford is negotiating the deal alongside other Republicans such as
Thom Tillis (R-NC) and John Thune (R-SD) with Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and others.
Denationizing
the United States. The Rio Grande border conflict is not an isolated incident.
It is part of the World Economic Forum program of "denationization" of the United States. [...] The
modern leftists are fighting so fiercely for the "rights of immigrants," not because the fate of
illegal aliens worries them in any way. It is because globalists anticipate illegal
immigrants as the main "engine of the revolution," which must bring about socialist transformations
and catapult the globalists to power. Consequently, the greater the number of "engines" in a
country, the happier the elite of the globalist party will be. So, naturally, they call
(irrationally and contrary to common sense) for opening the United States borders, dissolving the
Border Patrol, and granting the right to vote to non-citizens. In essence, the World Economic
Forum coterie runs the program of denationization of the United States. The position of
globalists on this issue is ultra-uncompromising because, for them, illegal immigration is not a
legal issue but a political and close to existential one.
The
Tyranny of Federalizing Troops to Undermine America's National Sovereignty.
[Scroll down] I find it quite telling that Biden would seek to federalize the Texas
National Guard to enable the continued flow of single military-aged males, illegally, into our
Republic but not have them conduct operations to regain operational control of our border from the
transnational narco-criminal terrorists, the cartels. Or why is it that Biden has remained
silent about pro-Hamas terrorist groups holding violent marches in our nation? After all,
Hamas is still holding Americans hostage and killed Americans on October 7, 2023. One can
only deduce that the Biden administration is taking the next step in their willful, intentional,
and purposeful undermining of our national sovereignty. They are going to use the military to
enable the flow of drug, human, and sex trafficking. I do not think our military is willing
to aid and abet human and sex trafficking. Texas will not comply.
Joe
Biden's legal win against Texas has one problem: The Border Patrol doesn't seem to want to
cooperate. [Scroll down] I thought Joe Biden wanted to assert his federal
authority by stepping in to show Texas who was boss by cutting the razor wire, and then either
federalizing the Texas National Guard or else start arresting them. We could go full
third-world on this, with one domestic army fighting another. And photos of the Border Patrol
cutting the razor wire to let another million or so illegals in would make such great campaign
photos (for President Trump). What was holding Joe back? According to the Daily Wire, it
might just be the Border Patrol itself, which has declared its support for Texas, joining
25 states which have also declared support for Texas's assertion of its right to protect its
border from foreigners breaking in.
Is This
What Biden Meant By 'Unity'? During President Biden's inaugural address, he used the
word "unity" at least a dozen times. He told us, "Today, on this January day, my whole soul
is in this: Bringing America together. Uniting our people." Three years later, his
irresponsible policies and incendiary rhetoric have rendered the nation more divided than at any
time in recent memory. Nowhere is this more evident than at the southern border where Biden
has created a humanitarian crisis by ignoring federal immigration law and suing the state of Texas
for exercising its constitutional right to defend itself from what its governor accurately
describes as a foreign invasion. As Gov. Greg Abbott said in a Jan. 24 statement,
"I have already declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke
Texas's constitutional authority to defend and protect itself. That authority is the supreme
law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary." The Biden administration
disputes Gov. Abbott's contention that the hordes of illegal aliens pouring into the Lone Star
state amounts to an invasion. The voters, however, agree with Gov. Abbott.
Senator
Lankford Explains How Current Law Would Stop Border Crisis and New Law Will Stop Border
Crisis. In his own words, Senator James Lankford says if President Trump was
president today the border crisis would not exist, because the existing law would be
enforced. Simultaneous to this, the same Senator Lankford says the new law he proposes will
create significant border enforcement. If the executive branch can ignore the current border
enforcement law (they can and do), what makes Lankford believe new legislation will not be ignored
by the same executive branch (they will)? This non-pretending reality frames the essential point:
the element of "enforcement" is not within the legislative branch, so the entire effort is a moot
exercise. [Video clip]
Biden,
the Border, and Tik Tok Too. Last month alone over 300,000 mostly military age men
illegally crossed our border, with the Border Patrol tasked to easing their invasion and even
making them sandwiches rather than detaining and deporting them. [...] Polls show that the majority
of citizens are strongly opposed to this invasion. Former FBI officials have warned that this
influx of unvetted invaders from around the world who have been allowed to travel freely around the
country pose a serious national security threat. Still, the President, who blocked further
construction of the wall Trump was constructing and ended the Trump policy of making asylum seekers
stay in Mexico as their claims were processed, doubled down on allowing unlimited free passage into
the United Sates. He demanded that [Texas governor Greg] Abbott tear down the border
barriers. A federal court enjoined the Administration from removing the barriers to free
passage into the country. (Most of these asylum claims lack merit, but it takes years to
process during which time the applicants are living and working here.)
The
Details of Biden's Border Security Bill Show It Won't Work - and That's Probably the
Plan. Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer, and some GOP Senators are trying to bully the GOP
into signing on to support an as yet unreleased immigration "reform" bill. [...] On Friday, the
White House released a statement purporting to offer the GOP a plan to fix the border. [Tweet]
The statement reads, in part, "What's been negotiated would — if passed into law —
be the toughest and fairest set of reforms to secure the border we've ever had in our country."
Biden says he just needs "1,300 border patrol agents, 375 immigration judges, 1,600 asylum officers,
and over 100 cutting-edge inspection machines." ...and "a new emergency authority to
shut down the border," ...and all will be well. [...] This deal would allow 1.825 million
illegals to enter the US every year. Once the 5,000 daily threshold is reached, the Border
Patrol is allowed to remove them immediately. The obvious question is, why 5,000?
Why not zero? Because if you can close the border at 5,000, you can close it at zero[;]
and if you can't close it at zero, you can't close it at 5,000. It looks like the first
5,000 across the line are allowed to request asylum; the rest aren't. I don't see how
that survives any sort of legal challenge.
Joe
Biden's Parole Pipeline Freed 745K Foreign Nationals into U.S. in 2023. President Joe
Biden's parole pipeline at the United States-Mexico border released a foreign population into
American towns in 2023 that outpaces two months of American births. This week, the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) released illegal immigration figures for December 2023. The data
shows that more than 745,000 foreign nationals were released into the United States interior
through Biden's parole pipeline in 2023. This is a foreign population larger than the
populations of Nashville, Tennessee; Denver, Colorado; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Washington, DC; or
Boston, Massachusetts. Biden's parole pipeline, which makes up just a portion of his Catch
and Release network at the southern border, includes the migrant mobile app known as "CBP One" and
so-called "humanitarian parole."
Border
Crisis Heats Up as Biden Admin Loses Grip. There are a lot of goings on, as the world
continues to slide toward the brink. Texas governor Abbott has pulled the trigger on directly
challenging the Federal government on the border issue: [Image of Abbott's letter] He was
joined by a slew of states, whose governors pledged their support: [...] Republican governors are
considering sending their national guards to Texas. Governor Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma pledged
to do so on video. In another video Governor Stitt called it a powder keg situation, sending
echoes of Fort Sumter through many in the blogosphere: [Video clip]
Tucker
Carlson Interviews Texas Governor Greg Abbott, "We are Prepared for Conflict with Federal
Authorities". Texas Governor Greg Abbott calls in for an interview about the federal
vs state conflict on border security. Gov. Greg Abbott says ten other states have
already sent national guard to the Texas border, and others will follow. Abbott says he is
"prepared" for a conflict with federal authorities. Following the Abbott interview, Texas
Attorney General Ken Paxton joins Carlson in the larger legal discussion. [Video clip]
A
world war, not a civil war. The Hill reported, "Republican governors are backing
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) in his standoff against the federal government over border
authority. "On Tuesday, the Texas National Guard appeared to ignore a Supreme Court decision
and continued building razor wire barriers on the U.S.-Mexico border, preventing the federal Border
Patrol from doing their jobs. "In a statement Wednesday, Abbott justified the actions by
claiming his authority to combat an invasion of the state supersedes federal law. "GOP
Govs. Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, Kristi Noem of South Dakota, Ron DeSantis of Florida, Glenn
Youngkin of Virginia and Brian Kemp of Georgia have all said they support Abbott's actions."
The Republican Governors Association later released a letter signed by 25 of the nation's
Republican governors backing Abbott. [...] The gatekeepers are allowing Chinese spies, Hispanic
gangs, Muslim terrorists, fentanyl dealers and a window dressing of poor families (whose pot
bellies belie the argument that they are hungry) to enter America. The Supreme Court is fine
with this. Texans and other Americans are not.
It's
Beginning to Look a Lot Like 1776. After decades of unconstitutional encroachment on
the Rights of both American citizens and individual states, this true Constitutional crisis has now
come to a head at the Texas border; where the Biden administration is actively sabotaging the state
of Texas' effort to protect its own border from an invasion sanctioned and facilitated by the
federal government. The escalating conflict between Texas Governor Abbott and President Biden
is a manifestation and microcosm of a larger war brewing between a lawless and unconstitutional
federal government and the American people. The Biden regime, in particular, has been
completely unaccountable. But their arrogance and underestimation of the will of the American
people will hopefully lead to their downfall. With the aid of a symbiotic and propagandistic
media machine, this Administration and the federal government at large commit crimes with
impunity. Governor Abbott's battle is the American people's battle. His stance against
the Biden Administration is cheered by tens of millions of Americans — and thus far a
coalition of 24 Republican Governors who wish, and even demand, that the federal government be put
in its place. All who support Texas Governor Abbott are hopeful the state of Texas and Abbott
can do what they themselves have believed to be beyond their own powers: taking on the federal Government.
300,000
Illegal Border Crossings In December. Trying to hide just how bad the crisis at the
border has become, the Biden administration released the December border numbers in a Friday night
news dump. This was the latest the numbers have been released in at least eight years.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data shows 302,034 illegal immigrants were encountered
attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border in December, the highest month ever recorded in DHS
history. For 34 straight months, monthly encounters have been higher than even the highest
month seen under the previous administration. Biden's border crisis is so bad, this is now
the fifth time CBP has needed to adjust the y-axis on the illegal encounters graph. With
roughly 9,700 daily encounters, this dwarfs the definition of a "crisis" set by Obama's DHS
Secretary Jeh Johnson when he said in 2019 that "more than 1,000" encounters a day "overwhelms the
system." December's 300,000-plus encounters is a 460 percent increase from the average
number of October apprehensions from 2017-2020. [...] At least 49 people on the terror
watchlist have been encountered trying to enter the U.S. between ports of entry this fiscal year.
You
say you want a revolution in Texas? The governor of Texas says his state is being
"invaded" and that under the Constitution he has the right to defend his border. On the first
point, millions of people are indeed unlawfully crossing the border into Texas. Joe Biden
refuses to do anything about it. In fact, he seems to be encouraging it. He stopped
construction of Donald Trump's border wall, reversed the "stay in Mexico" policy which required
immigrants seeking asylum to remain in Mexico pending a decision by American authorities, and, to
the extent he accidentally catches illegal immigrants, he usually lets them go with a polite
request that they appear at a hearing scheduled years in the future. Most don't appear.
It's like catch-and-release fishing. They're usually smart enough not to get caught
twice. The border policy is so asinine that you have to wonder if someone has the goods on
Joe. The second issue — the Texas governor's Constitutional right to take
reasonable action that Biden won't or can't — is more complicated.
Biden
hates working people. As our sanctuary-country sinks even further under the weight of
millions of illegal immigrants, the President and his fellow Democrats believe the solution is to
give them work permits so they can "support themselves." Where is their concern for the
citizens whose jobs these illegal immigrants will take? Have they never heard of the concept
of opportunity cost? Every job they take is a job that won't be available to legal
citizens. That's not a political philosophy but a cold hard fact. And this is in an
environment where Artificial Intelligence and robots/automation are forecast to slash the number of
jobs for average working folks. What is even worse is the fact that this army of illegal
immigrants is certain to depress working folk's hourly wages for generations to come.
You will often hear it said they are only taking jobs Americans won't do. That is a
lie. The truth is Americans won't do some of those jobs for the wages being offered.
So, rather than allowing the marketplace to raise the wages being offered, their revolting solution is
to import millions of low-skilled illegals in a planned strategy to keep working people's wages
low, forever.
Border
Patrol Turns on Joe Biden, Proclaims Support for Texas National Guard. Is there going
to be a major confrontation on the border following Joe Biden's ultimatum that Texas National Guard
forces be removed from Shelby Park and other "disputed" areas? Not if the rank-and-file of
the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol have anything to say about it. According to a new post put
out by the Border Patrol Union, and a new report from Griff Jenkins of Fox News, Biden has lost
operational control of the situation, at least in a practical sense. [Tweet] The Biden
administration had initially warned Texas that it had until mid-day Friday to relinquish control of
Shelby Park, the nearby boat dock, and the International Bridge. That deadline has now come
and gone, and instead of there being a major clash between the Border Patrol and the state-controlled
soldiers on site, it appears those on the ground have already de-escalated the situation.
Georgia
Congressman Announces RAZOR Act to Support Texas' Right to Defend Its Border. The
border crisis in Texas is turning into a faceoff between the state and federal governments.
Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) has deployed the Texas National Guard to the border for security,
and the state placed razor wire along the border that the feds are removing. Abbott released
a statement on Wednesday asserting the Lone Star State's right to secure its border: [Tweet]
Other governors have come out in support of Abbott and his actions. Gov. Ron DeSantis
(R-Fla.) pledged that his state "will keep assisting Texas with personnel and assets," while
Gov. Kevin Stitt (R-Okla.) declared that "Oklahoma stands with Texas."
Former
National Security Leaders Sound the Alarm to Congress in a Letter on Invasion at the Southern
Border. The United States has never suffered an invasion of the homeland, yet that is
what is happening right now. That statement seems obvious to anyone paying attention to what
is happening on the southern border. The word invasion was initially viewed as too harsh of a
word. It might be seen as having military connotations or implying military action.
Over the course of President Biden's term in office, the crisis created by an open border with
Mexico has been all but ignored by most media outlets except for one. Fox News Channel
reports on the border every day. The cable news network's reporters are on the border and do
live shots as illegal immigrants cross the Rio Grande River and while others simply walk into our
country by coming through a section of the border wall. [...] The flow of millions of illegal
immigrants coming over the southern border at this level is historic, that's true. But let's
be honest, it is an invasion. The numbers of illegal aliens who are apprehended by Border
Patrol or Texas law enforcements officials are all-time highs. The same is true of those
labeled as gotaways.
Report:
The Biden Administration Has Spent $20 Billion on 'Refugee' Resettlement in Just Two
Years. The situation at the southern border has become a multi-level crisis and it
turns out that it has been incredibly expensive, too. The Biden administration has spent
$20 billion hard-earned American tax dollars on 'refugee' resettlement in just the last two
years. Of course, the vast majority of illegal border crossers are not refugees at all.
Democrats sure do seem to enjoy spending other people's money. [...] That $20 billion could
have built a lot of border wall, or housing for veterans, or paid for any number of other things.
Texas
won't give up its right to defend itself. Things are getting hotter than usual along
the southern U.S. border, brought to a head by the U.S. Supreme Court's decision earlier this month
that allows the federal government to remove razor wire the Texas government installed along a
section of the Texas-Mexico border. While this would not normally be a problem, things are
anything but normal along the border right now because the Biden Administration not only doesn't
want to do its constitutional duty to protect the country and enforce the laws of the land, it
doesn't want anyone else doing it either. That doesn't sit well with Texas governor Greg
Abbott, whose state is receiving the brunt of record numbers of illegal aliens crossing the border
and the problems that brings. In fiscal year 2023, federal agents had more than two
million encounters with illegal migrants coming to the United States, not to mention how many made
it over the border without being seen by the authorities.
The
Second US Civil War? We may well be witnessing a pivotal moment in history[. A] letter
of support for Texas Governor Abbott, in his defiance of the federal regime, has been published and
signed by governors of half the states in the very disunited United States. These governors
have also offered to send their National Guard troops to Texas, to support the Texas National
Guard. What was just last week a legal dispute between the governor of Texas and the federal
regime has now become a very real confrontation between Washington and 25 states. These
states include all of the states who joined the Confederacy in the US Civil War, as well as some states
that were on the Yankee side, and other states that were not even states back in 1861. [Tweet]
Texas Rebellion?
The issues in Texas have much greater consequence than a mere state's rights issue. It is a
question of national legitimacy. Is the Constitution the legal and rightful expression of
American government or is America now simply a mass of lawless land? Is the president a
dictator who can ignore the laws passed by congress, invite thousands of terrorists and foreign
armies in without consequence, or is he bound by the laws as much as the states and the
people? When will the people punish him for this lawlessness? The Constitution, for all
of its flaws, shields the people from the government and serves as a limitation on the powers of
the government. It stands in the way of the power of government and as such has been attacked
by government officials from the day it was presented to the people. [...] The issues are
simple. Does the executive branch have the right to ignore laws passed by the congress?
That would violate the separation of powers. Does the executive branch have the right to
forfeit national security simply because it is charged with maintaining it? That would seem
to violate national security, a crime, a felony. If the executive branch can, and indeed has,
violated the laws and endangered the nation, particularly damaging the border states, is it not
within the power of those states and the people to defend themselves?
Texas
Isn't 'Ignoring' The Supreme Court, It's Upholding The Law. A talking point cropping
up on social media and press contends that Texas Governor Greg Abbott is "ignoring" or "defying"
the Supreme Court by continuing to erect fencing along the U.S.-Mexican border. This is
wrong. Abbott can't ignore the Supreme Court because Texas wasn't ordered to do
anything. SCOTUS vacated an order against the Department of Homeland Security [sic] that
stopped the Feds from cutting down razor fencing along the border. Nothing says that Texas
can't erect the fencing. Though, you must marvel at the breathtaking audacity of Democrats
suddenly treating the court's (non-existent) words as if they were sacred text. This very
week, President Joe Biden again ignored the court, rolling out yet another iteration of his
unconstitutional student "loan forgiveness" program. Biden habitually circumvents, ignores,
defies, attacks, and demeans SCOTUS — and Democrats cheer him on along the way.
Senate leaders and "dark money" fake media organizations like ProPublica have poured millions into
delegitimizing and smearing the court to undermine its authority.
Constitutional
Crisis at the Border? Joe Biden's border policy is unconstitutional. Under
Article II, his most fundamental duty as president is to "take care that the laws be faithfully
executed." Biden has not faithfully executed our immigration laws; rather, he has deliberately
sabotaged and negated them. This is an impeachable offense, but what to do in the
meantime? In Texas, a constitutional crisis may be brewing. Governor Greg Abbott,
having had enough of the scofflaw Biden Administration, had fencing erected along the border to
discourage illegal migration. Biden, determined to illegally undermine our country, directed
that the fencing be torn down so that more illegals can pour in. The case reached the Supreme
Court, which voted 5-4 to overturn a Court of Appeals decision that enjoined federal border agents
from cutting the wire. So for now, the Court has the feds back in control. As Steve
wrote yesterday, Governor Abbott is not backing down. He is asserting Texas's constitutional
right to defend itself against foreign invasion.
Joe
Biden Gives an Ultimatum to Greg Abbott. Joe Biden, or more likely his handlers,
levied an ultimatum on Thursday, demanding that Gov. Greg Abbott relinquish control of the
"disputed" border areas Texas has been securing. That came after 25 states joined
together to pledge their support to Abbott as he battles the federal government and its refusal to
enforce immigration laws. The date for the demand is set for Friday, January 26th, with
the Biden administration saying it wants full access to Shelby Park, a boat launch, and the
international bridge. [Tweet] [Transcript] The federal attorney being quoted is reading more
into the Supreme Court's ruling than exists. The ruling simply lifted an injunction that
stopped the federal officials from cutting the razor wire. The ruling did not say
that Texas must allow federal officials access to the areas where the razor wire is.
More
States Stand Up To Defend Texas Against Joe Biden. Multiple states have expressed
their support for Texas as Republican Governor Greg Abbott continues to confront the Biden
administration over the state's right to safeguard its border. Texas reaffirmed on Wednesday
its commitment to protect itself and the nation's frontier from the ongoing influx of illegal
immigrants. Despite the Biden administration's attempts to keep the Southern Border open,
support for Texas is steadily increasing. Several other Republican states have joined forces
with Texas, providing assurance to border communities in the Lone Star State that they are not
alone. Numerous states have now criticized the White House for its apparent failure to
address the border crisis. Governor Abbott, in a statement issued on Wednesday, emphasized
that Texas possesses the constitutional authority to defend and safeguard itself. The
governor argues that this authority takes precedence over any conflicting federal statutes.
Biden
Domestic And Foreign Policy Implosion. Let's start with the domestic implosion taking
place because of the flood of illegal immigrants. Texas has deployed the National Guard to
its border and is preventing the Federal Government from cutting the barb wire walls the Guard has
erected. The Biden Administration sought judicial relief with the Supreme Court, which
decided by a 5 to 4 majority to back the Biden Administration. [...] Texas is relying on the
Constitution, which gives States the right to defend themselves if invaded, even if the Federal
Government refuses to act.

Republican governors announced their support for the State of Texas and Governor Abbott's fight

Ron DeSantis, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, Montana Governor Greg Gianforte, Oklahoma Governor Kevin
Stitt, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, Virginia Governor Glen Youngkin, and West Virginia
Governor Jim Justice.
Virginia
Gov. Youngkin Comes Out Swinging Against Biden On Border Dispute. Siding with
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Wednesday, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) criticized
President Joe Biden and his "border czar" for continued problems at the Mexico/U.S. border.
Abbott is in a dispute with the White House over the security at the border. According to
Abbott, Texas has a "constitutional right to self-defense," and therefore the right to try to
secure the Texas border if Biden refuses to enforce federal immigration laws. "Virginia stands
with Texas," Youngkin posted to X on Wednesday, captioning a lengthy statement from Abbott
concerning the border dispute. "Greg Abbott is doing the job Joe Biden and his border czar
refuse to do to secure our border," Youngkin continued, referencing U.S. Secretary of Homeland
Security Alejandro Mayorkas. "The Biden administration has turned every state into a border
state," the Virginia governor continued. "We must stop the flow of fentanyl, save lives, and secure
our southern border."
Give
the Democrats the standoff at the southern border they want. Democrats are clamoring
for a major standoff at the southern border between Texas and the federal government, but in doing
so, they are putting President Joe Biden in a politically disastrous position. Gov. Greg
Abbott (R-TX), with the support of Republican governors across the country, stood firm on securing
the border with barbed wire and the Texas National Guard this week, despite the Supreme Court
vacating a ruling that barred the federal government from removing those wire barriers.
Specifically, while the court did not order Texas itself to remove the wire or stop erecting it,
the justices said the federal government, for now, could not be barred from dislodging it. In
a statement Wednesday, Abbott invoked the U.S. Constitution and said that Texas is facing an
invasion at the southern border, necessitating that the state defend itself.
Texas
Governor Greg Abbott: "I have declared an invasion under Article I, § 10, Clause 3 to invoke
Texas's constitutional authority to defend and protect itself". Governor Greg Abbott
today issued a statement on Texas' constitutional right to defend and protect itself as President
Joe Biden continues to attack Texas and refuse to perform his duties to secure the border. "The
Executive Branch of the United States has a constitutional duty to enforce federal laws protecting
States, including immigration laws on the books right now," reads the statement. "President Biden
has instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal
immigrants. The failure of the Biden Administration to fulfill the duties imposed by Article IV,
§ 4 has triggered Article I, § 10, Clause 3, which reserves to this State the right
of self-defense. For these reasons, I have already declared an invasion under Article I,
§ 10, Clause 3 to invoke Texas's constitutional authority to defend and protect itself.
That authority is the supreme law of the land and supersedes any federal statutes to the contrary."
The
Constitution Literally Allows Texas to Engage in War at the Southern Border. Here's
How. The Supreme Court's decision this week to order Texas not to protect its border
with Mexico will go down in history as one of the court's most cowardly decisions that could doom
our nation — if it is allowed to stand. That decision was not just about razor
wire. It was about the role of states in our federal system and the betrayal of the
nation — first by a president, and now by two Republican-appointed justices. [...] The
establishment media had attacked Trump for spending $11 billion to put barriers up along
50 miles of our southern border. But the corrupt media thought nothing of spending more
than 10 times that to defend Ukraine and its border. And the House GOP now estimates the
annual cost of the Biden open border will be $451 billion in caring for illegal aliens.
Biden opened the door, and over 3.8 million people walked through. That number of
illegals is greater than the population of 22 states and is on the verge of destroying the
nation in every way by causing crime, drug deaths, child trafficking, terrorism, deficit spending
and more. He could not have done any more damage to the nation if he had tried.
President
Biden [is being] Urged to Seize Texas National Guard. On Wednesday, Representative
Joaquin Castro (D-TX) called on President Biden to "seize" the Texas National Guard by calling them
into Federal service, removing them from the command and control of the State of Texas. This
is presumably in response to Texas Governor Greg Abbott's defiant tone towards the Biden Administration
on closing the border. [...] This idea by Rep. Castro raises some interesting questions:
[#1] Were the President to activate the Texas National Guard under Title 10,
what would their orders be? To assist federal officers in throwing open the gates?
[#2] What happens if members of the Texas National Guard refuse activation
and instead continue to follow the orders of TX-ANG officers and Governor Abbott?
[#3] What if the Texas Guard splits, and former comrades end up facing each other across that red line?
[#4] If the Pentagon sends federal troops, how willing are they going to be to confront other
Americans to allow the continued invasion of the country?
[#5] Is there any possibility that there may be open conflict between Texas and federal officials?
I'm no wild-eyed conspiracy theorist, but this is the kind of thing that civil wars start over.
Agents
'Absolutely' Don't Want To Cut Greg Abbott's Razor Wire, Border Patrol Union President
Says. Border Patrol agents don't want to cut Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's
border wire after the Supreme Court ordered that the federal government can take it down, National
Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd told the Daily Caller News Foundation. The
Supreme Court ruled Monday that federal authorities can take down wire that Texas erected along the
southern border, but the state is putting up more wire in Eagle Pass, Texas, at Shelby Park, which
it took control of earlier this month. Border Patrol agents largely support Texas' efforts,
several rank-and-file agents recently told the DCNF.
Abbott:
Texas Has Constitutional Right To Defend Its Borders From Invasion, Supersedes All Federal
Law. Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued a defiant statement on Wednesday pushing back
against President Joe Biden's attempts to stop Texas from securing its borders against the millions
of illegal aliens pouring into the state thanks to Biden's reckless border policies. Abbott's
statement comes after the U.S. Supreme Court sided with the Biden administration earlier this week,
ruling that it could remove or cut through razor wire the state has deployed to stop illegal aliens
from crossing the Rio Grande into the state. "President Biden has violated his oath to
faithfully execute immigration laws enacted by Congress," Abbott said. "Instead of prosecuting
immigrants for the federal crime of illegal entry, President Biden has sent his lawyers into
federal courts to sue Texas for taking action to secure the border." "President Biden has
instructed his agencies to ignore federal statutes that mandate the detention of illegal
immigrants. The effect is to illegally allow their en masse parole into the United States,"
he continued, adding: "By wasting taxpayer dollars to tear open Texas's border security
infrastructure, President Biden has enticed illegal immigrants away from the 28 legal entry points
along this State's southern border — bridges where nobody drowns — and into
the dangerous waters of the Rio Grande."
Can
America survive its traitors? This week's decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to allow
the federal government to remove razor-wire barriers set up by the State of Texas to discourage
illegal border crossings was a slap in the face to every law-abiding American citizen. An
estimated 5 million foreign nationals, the vast majority of them males between the ages of 18
and 40, have illegally crossed into the U.S. since Biden took office. And this doesn't
include the "gotaways," which are those who cross over under the radar of Border Patrol rather than
giving themselves up and claiming "asylum." This is an invasion of military-aged men, who by
all accounts appear well-fed and well-clothed. We should assume most of them are here for no
good reason. If you think about the ramifications of this decision — all of the
death and destruction that will take place in Texas and beyond as a result — it's not
difficult to conclude that it's more than just your typical bad legal decision. No, this was
a criminal decision. And it was made possible by a Trump-appointed justice, Amy Coney
Barrett, who along with Chief Justice John Roberts voted with the Marxist wing of the court.
NYC
inks $77M emergency hotels contract to shelter migrant families. Mayor Eric Adams'
administration has inked a new emergency $76.69 million contract with the Hotel Association of
New York City to provide "last resort" shelter to migrant families[.] Fifteen hotels in
Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx will make blocks of rooms available to asylum-seeking families for
up to 28 days under the "vouchering program" running through July. "We're not going to
allow a child or family to sleep on the street," Adams said during a press briefing Tuesday.
The migrant crisis has been a boon to the hotel industry still emerging from loss of business
during the coronavirus pandemic. The [New York] Post reported in September that the city
extended contracts with the hotel association for three years at a staggering price tag of
$1.3 billion — nearly five times the original $275 million deal —
just to pay rental fees to more than 100 hotels that were converted into emergency shelters.

Dear
Treasonous Traitors: [Bleep!] Strong Message Follows. Since SCOTUS has ruled — beyond
and against any legal reasoning worthy of the name — that the U.S. Constitution does not apply to
Texas, Texas should ratify that decision and return the favor, in spades. There should be
consequences to ruling a state is outside the protection of the Constitution under which
it joined the republic. All representatives of Texas outside its geographic boundaries should
be recalled to the state forthwith. [#1] How many divisions does SCOTUS have?
[#2] Texas should arrest on the spot any federal agent attempting to cut, remove, or displace any
obstacle Texas has erected within the state's boundaries, or otherwise thwart prevention by Texas of the
criminal invasion of their state, and hold any such arrestees without bail indefinitely, for
insurrection and treason.
CBO:
Biden Admin Has Released 6.2 Million Illegal Migrants into U.S. in 3 Years, Often Through
'Parole' Loophole. President Joe Biden's deputies have let 6.2 million illegal
migrants into the United States, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). Biden's
southern inflow is more than one migrant for every two American births since January 2021.
"More of those people are also being released into the United States than previously, generally
through the use of parole authority or with a notice to appear before an immigration judge," said
the report, titled "The Demographic Outlook: 2014 to 2054." The 2023 inflow included 900,000
migrants who were released after they walked up to official border gates plus 1.1 million
migrants who were released after they crossed through gaps in the border wall, said the CBO agency,
which acts as an advisor to Capitol Hill legislators.
Three
Former Presidents Start NGO to Import Illegal Aliens into the U.S.. Three of the five
former Presidents of the United States have started a new non-governmental organization (NGO) with
the explicit purpose of chartering flights to import illegal aliens into the United States.
As reported by Just The News, the NGO Miles4Migrants, founded by former Presidents Barack
Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton, is teaming up with two other organizations, American
Express Global Business Travel and Welcome.US, to expand upon a previous effort that focused solely
on Afghan refugees following the disastrous withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan in 2021.
Welcome.US was originally launched for the purpose of bringing in at least 85,000 Afghan refugees, and
also has ties to the far-left billionaire George Soros and his Open Society Foundation. The new
coalition between Welcome.US, Miles4Migrants, and American Express Global Business Travel will seek to
raise money to import illegals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Ukraine.
Biden
And Abbott Have Set The Stage For One Of The Biggest State-Versus-Feds Immigration Fights In More
Than A Decade. The feud between the Biden administration and the state of Texas over
the southern border has set the stage for one of the biggest immigration fights between the federal
government and a state government in more than a decade. Republican Texas Gov. Greg
Abbott recently had his authorities seize city property along the southern border, arresting
migrants crossing illegally for trespassing, which the federal government has vocally opposed.
The Biden administration subsequently asked the Supreme Court to intervene, arguing that Texas is
overstepping its authority, sparking a legal battle the high court hasn't seen since 2012.
The
Frustrating Irony of Legal Immigration. As many as 10 million people have been
reported illegally entering the U.S. since President Joe Biden took office in January 2021,
with nearly 1.6 million known "gotaways" and hundreds of thousands of inadmissible aliens now
granted parole into the country every month. In fiscal 2023 alone, there were more than
3.2 million illegal border crossings nationwide, a total that approximates the annual number
of U.S. births. December alone saw more than 300,000 migrant border "encounters —
an average of 10,000 per day, the highest monthly total ever recorded. Most enter believing
U.S. borders are "open" and remain with scant fear of deportation. We're told that those
entering illegally are "vetted" before being released into communities. But they are, in
fact, released after minimal "processing." This means taking photos and fingerprints, entering
unverifiable names and birth dates, running this data through U.S. law enforcement and immigration
databases, and creating an immigration file if none exists.
It's the only kind of pipeline the Democrats like: Illegal
Alien Pipeline Revealed in New Documentary. In 2023, nearly a quarter million illegal
aliens entered the United States every month. Nearly all of these illegals followed the same
mass migration trail that starts in Quito, Ecuador, and ends at the US Southern Border....So we
decided to follow the trail ourselves. Along the way, we discovered secret Chinese staging
hotels, crossed through the world's deadliest jungle, embedded with an illegal alien caravan, rode
the Mexican Train of Death, and finally, were kidnapped by the Gulf Cartel just hundreds of feet
from the United States border. This exposes the entire illegal alien pipeline for what it is:
a United Nations-weaponized migration agenda masquerading as an organic humanitarian crisis.
This agenda directly benefits cartels and human smugglers, exposes the United States to incredible
geo-political threats and may potentially usher in permanent one-party rule. The first stop
along the route is Ecuador. US-bound illegal aliens from all over the world first fly into
the capital city, Quito, due to the country's easy entry requirements. From here, aliens
begin making their way towards Colombia.
Biden
holds America hostage. In Texas, Biden and his goons want Governor Greg Abbott to
quit protecting the state's border with Mexico. NBC reported, "Texas is refusing to comply
with a cease-and-desist letter from the Biden administration over actions by the state that have
impeded U.S. Border Patrol agents from accessing part of the border with Mexico." Under
Biden, Border Patrol agents are little more than Walmart greeters. The story continued, "In a
letter to the Department of Homeland Security, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton rejected the Biden
administration's request for the state to cease and desist its takeover of Shelby Park, an
epicenter of southwest border illegal immigration in Eagle Pass." Paxton wrote, "Because the
facts and law side with Texas, the State will continue utilizing its constitutional authority to
defend her territory, and I will continue defending those lawful efforts in court." Obama
previously succeeded in getting the John Roberts Supreme Court to stop Arizona from enforcing
federal law to protect its border. Texas is using state law.

the nearly one million foreign fighters who have been allowed to infiltrate the U.S. through
Biden's traitorous open borders. That's when the internal fighting will begin while the
military is busy getting annihilated overseas. I am less convinced of a nuclear exchange
because I don't think either Russia or China believe they need to resort to it and there is no
one in the United States chain of command who believes enough in the righteousness of America to
use them to defend it.
'Their'
Democracy: Tyranny Comes to the US. [Scroll down] Their democracy
has also advanced the invasion taking place at our southern border. In F.Y. 2023, an
astonishing 2.5 million illegals, that we know about, illegally gained entry to the U.S.
Using various means, the Biden administration enabled the assault. One way was refusing to
uphold its constitutional duty to protect states from invasion as required by Article IV,
section 4 of the U.S. Constitution and U.S. immigration laws. For example, at Eagle
Pass, Texas, the Biden administration directed the U.S. Border Patrol to cut razor wire so that
illegals could enter. Absent help from the federal government, and because Article 1,
section 10 of the Constitution gives states power to protect themselves if invaded, Texas gave
its police authority to arrest illegals. In response, the Biden administration sued Texas for
doing the job Biden refuses to do. Additionally, the Biden administration made illegal
immigration an economic boom for the invaders while shifting costs onto U.S. taxpayers.
Unlike previous generations of legal immigrants required to be financially independent, current
illegals get massive state and federal aid. The Biden administration even diverted Department
of Veterans Affairs heath care resources to aid illegals. Moreover, through various federal
departments, the Biden administration gave billions in taxpayer funds to non-government organizations
(NGOs) to provide illegals "free" housing, food, medical care, hotels, and airfare.
Immigration
or Invasion? Cancelling the Greatest Culture in the World. What is the greatest
threat to America? Could it be:
• our Marxist-driven education system?
• our federal government handing out billions and trillions of [dollars] to
a U.S. puppet president (put into office by a coup staged by the Deep State) of a country, to fight
a proxy war for the Deep State and Global Elite?
• the World Health Organization (WHO), an organ of the United Nations (UN),
is being used to take control over all people in all countries in the world (not all have signed on,
but the few that haven't are small and considered insignificant in the whole scheme of things)?
• the drive to "Sustainable Development", another scheme to wrest both our
individual and national sovereignty?
• Bill Gates, Black Rock, China, and others are buying up our farm and
ranch lands, our single-family homes, and businesses — which take us closer to owning nothing
but our thoughts, in other words, making us slaves,
• Our federal, democratic republic government has been torn apart and reassembled
to be a uni-party, top-down, supposedly democratic socialist tyranny? No! The greatest threat is
unbridled illegal immigration.
Who Are We?
That was not a question even a few years ago, everyone would have said: Americans. Some
might have broken it further down into regions or states, but generally Americans. Now, that
answer might be Venezuelans, Senegalese or Iranian, because a greater and greater portion of our
population are people who have no interest in America other than as a source of plunder or an enemy
to invade. But there is a core of Americans, some of whom are confused, who think they are
United States citizens. While that is technically true, the government who seems to have no
fidelity to the United States Constitution, there is no United States and therefore, one cannot be
a citizen of something that does not exist.
Massachusetts
Officials Pleading with Private Homeowners to Take in Illegal Aliens. The state of

Massachusetts is the only state that has a state-wide "right to housing" rule for homeless
families. And with that rule in mind, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) has repeatedly
asked legal residents to open up their homes to illegal immigrants for whom officials are
having a hard time finding beds.

direction. Government programs don't come and go; they come and stay. There are no

Democrat Blasts Biden's Handling Of Border: 'An Unmitigated, Embarrassing, Unforgivable

Democratic presidential event this week for the collapse of the U.S. Southern Border.
Phillips, who is a longshot candidate, made the remarks during NewsNation's Democratic Presidential
Forum on Friday with other longshot candidates Cenk Uygur and Marianne Williamson. Phillips
called Biden's border crisis, which experts have said was directly caused by his policies, "an
unmitigated, embarrassing, unforgivable disaster." His remarks came within the context of
explaining numerous issues where he disagrees with Biden. "The other area where I differ with
him immensely is our southern border," said Phillips. "I've been there twice. It is an
unmitigated, embarrassing, unforgivable disaster, and Democrats, as Cenk said earlier, have to wake
up to the truth."
Lawsuit
Exposes Biden Admin's Troubling Change That Impairs Dealing With Criminal Illegal Aliens.
We've seen what a mess Joe Biden has created at the border, with more illegal aliens encountered —
in excess of 300,000 — by the CBP in December than in any prior month of the year and
marking the most since 2000. [Tweet] As Rep. Mike Garcia (R-CA) noted, this is a real
national security crisis. But that isn't all. Our friends at our sister site Townhall

properly dealing with illegal aliens. The 287(g) program has ICE partner with local law
enforcement to help identify and remove criminal illegal aliens. [Tweet] [...] They "halted" the
program — meaning they suspended setting up new partnerships with law enforcement —
right after Biden came in. They had 23 relationships with various law enforcement partners that had
been agreed upon but then were also put in limbo because of the suspension of the program.

Texas
National Guard vs Feds Border Patrol. The Texas Military Department confirms the TX
National Guard has seized control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass (city property where mass illegal
crossings are), and is restricting Border Patrol from accessing the area, saying the Feds
"perpetuate illegal crossings". This is the area where Border Patrol has been cutting TX razor
wire. Razor wire and fences are now deployed to block the area off from the public and
federal government. [Video clip]
Texas
seizes control of park, blocks Border Patrol from entering, as part of anti-illegal immigration
efforts. The Texas National Guard has seized control of a park at the U.S. southern
border and is now blocking Border Patrol from entering the area — part of an effort to
stop the surge of illegal immigration into Texas and a move likely to significantly increase
tensions between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and the federal government. The state government
has taken control of Shelby Park in the city of Eagle Pass, Texas, which has been at the center of
the migrant crisis that has engulfed the U.S. border. Authorities have now set up razor wire
and fences to block off the area. Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas said he was informed that
the decision was made as part of Gov. Greg Abbott's emergency declaration. Salinas told
reporters it was not something the city had requested, and he said his understanding is that Border
Patrol was now not in the area as a result.
Small
Town, USA learns the hard way that welcoming lawbreakers has negative consequences. A
few days back, AT published an essay by contributor C.S. Boddie that highlighted a recent tragedy
in Colorado: an illegal alien, who had been deported four times before, killed a mother and her
16-year-old son, as he drove (allegedly) completely inebriated near a high school. The
illegal had four "alcohol-related driving" convictions under his belt, and just days before, he'd
received probation, community service, and work release from a Colorado judge; Boddie's piece also
included a number of other "chilling" examples underscoring the deadly consequences of admitting
millions of scofflaws. But dead Americans aren't the only casualties — say
adios to Whitewater, Wisconsin, a once-safe and once-quaint midwestern town.
Whitewater recently came into the national spotlight after a letter to the Biden regime got picked
up by conservative media. Local police chief Daniel Meyer, had appealed to Washington to
request help for the influx of illegals that have cropped up since 2022, putting a "strain" on
reasources, and bringing in problems like these: [Tweet]
We
Are in an Abusive Relationship with Our Government. While foreign nationals are
invading the United States in unprecedented numbers, Department of Homeland (in)Security secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas continues to claim that (1) there is no crisis of any kind, and (2) if there
is a crisis, Congress should just allocate more money for DHS to quickly bus the invaders into small
towns throughout the country. Hear that, American citizens? The problem isn't that tens
of millions of foreigners are illegally entering the country; the problem is that people are
noticing the problem — which would quickly disappear if DHS had the funds to hide
the invaders more effectively and seed them into the counties where illegal votes from illegal
aliens will do Democrats the most good. Canceling American votes one invader at a time —
yet none dare call it election-rigging on a massive scale! Mayorkas's admission that
his plan to tackle illegal immigration consists of (1) making it worse but (2) hiding
it more effectively is another infuriating example of why governments (of any kind!) can never,
ever be trusted.

GOP Border Deal Leaked: Migrants to Get Work Permits, Lawyers, Green Cards. The
Senate GOP leadership's draft border deal with the White House would reward illegal migration and

just going to encourage more people to come," said Chris Chmielenski, president of the Immigration
Accountability Project, adding: ["]It essentially authorizes the Biden administration
to continue to catch and release people into the country. It authorizes them to give them
work permits [to illegal migrants and] authorizes them to grant parole [legal status] to everybody
that they're able to funnel to a port of entry.["]
ICE data from

their statistics for 2023, which according to the data, show a significantly small percentage of
illegal immigrants being deported compared to the large number of encounters with Border Patrol
agents. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data indicates that Border Patrol agents had more
than two million encounters during Fiscal Year 2023, while field operatives came into contact
with another million, for a grand total of over 3.2 million encounters with illegal immigrants
in the United States and on its borders.

Executive Branch Is Deliberately Failing Americans. Nearly 2.5 million people
entered the U.S. illegally just in 2023. (Note that these numbers do not include anyone crossing
the border without interacting with Border Patrol officials.) More than 10 million people
have crossed the border illegally since Biden took office; that number is larger than the
individual populations of 41 of the 50 states. The costs to Americans are enormous and
growing. The Federation for American Immigration Reform published a comprehensive report last
year showing that federal, state, and local expenditures for illegal immigration are approaching
$200 billion annually. But dollar figures don't capture the real costs to everyday
Americans. We do not have sufficient affordable housing for our own citizens. Veterans
and the elderly have been forced out of housing to make way for illegal immigrants. Our own
homeless population is exploding, many of whom need treatment for addiction and/or mental
illness. In Chicago, migrants have been living in the O'Hare airport. Massachusetts
Gov. Maura Healey has asked citizens to take migrants into their homes. Just this week,
a New York City high school was closed, and its students were sent home for "remote" learning so
that nearly 2,000 migrants could be housed at the school during a winter storm. Illegal
immigrants also distort congressional representation. They are counted in the decennial
census population tallies, so their presence increases congressional representation for states with
more of them. That reduces the voting power of citizens in states with lower populations.
Migrant
Crisis Motive Revealed. Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke is running for re-election
this year in New York's 9th District to finish the job of utterly destroying New York.
To achieve her goal of ruining a once great city, Clarke is demanding MORE illegal migrants.
Clarke actually admitted that the Democrats need more migrants to overrun their cities and states
for "redistricting purposes." "I'm from Brooklyn, New York. We have a diaspora that can
absorb a significant number of these migrants," said Clarke, who has served on the House Committee
on Homeland Security. "When I hear colleagues talk about, you know, the doors of the inn being
closed — ah, no room at the inn — I'm saying I need more people in my
district just for redistricting purposes." Now, redrawing districts is a common tactic used by
the right and left. However, dismantling the Constitution to allow non-citizens to enter the
country and vote is not.
Border-Jumpers
Are Pushing American Kids Out Of School All Across The Country. Democrats' open
border is turning the entire United States into a refugee camp. The record-breaking numbers
of foreigners allowed to break U.S. border laws are most heavily affecting large and sanctuary
cities like New York City, but the numbers are so high they can't help but affect cities across
America as well. Yesterday, a Brooklyn high school informed parents their children will be
getting low-quality remote instruction because their school is being turned into a refugee
camp. The 4,000 students are being displaced on behalf of approximately 1,900 foreign
lawbreakers. In spring 2023, city officials also occupied school gyms with migrants,
prompting safety concerns from parents about unvetted, military-age male foreigners sharing
buildings with their kids. As the "Louder with Crowder" blog notes, "Brooklyn went 74%-25% to
Joe Biden, whose policies started the current border crisis. Also, pro-illegal immigration
Governor Kathy Hochul won Brooklyn 72% to 28%." [Tweet]
Trump
Vows to Create 'Largest Deportation Effort' in U.S. History If Reelected. Former
president Donald Trump vowed during his Fox News town hall on Wednesday night to create the
"largest deportation effort in the history of our country" if he is reelected in November, saying
"we have no choice." Trump, the leading contender for the Republican nomination, said that as
many as 18 million people will have entered the country illegally by the end of Democrat Joe
Biden's presidency, a number that he said is "not sustainable for our country." "Many of
those people come from jails and prisons, many of those people come from mental institutions and
insane asylums, and many of those people are terrorists," he said, taking another big swing on the
issue that helped to propel him to the White House in 2016.
Arizona
Allows Noncitizens to Vote in Federal Elections (With a Wink and a Nod). Joe Biden
has opened the floodgates and is importing somewhere between 8 [and] 12 million new illegal
immigrants into the country. There is going to be massive voter fraud in the next
election. The way that they are accomplishing this is making it nearly impossible to track
down who was eligible to vote and who wasn't. Ballots will be distributed like Monopoly
money, collected by "ballot harvesters," and counted by corrupt local officials, and they hope that
by doing so, they can eke out a victory or better than that. Do the illegal immigrants
streaming into the country know they are part of this scheme? Most likely not. Will
most of them participate in it? Probably not. It's not like most of them came into the
country as willing participants in a scheme to steal federal elections. But will the flood of
illegal aliens, many of whom are getting driver's licenses in states like my own,
Minnesota — 19 states and the District of Columbia — be used to rig the
vote? Certainly, throw in motor voter and lots of illegals will be automatically registered
to vote, even if they don't intend to. Ballots will be sent, collected by operatives, and
returned. It may be easier in some places than others.
More
on Noncitizens Voting. I sort of did and sort of didn't goof in the article on
noncitizen voting in my article on voting registration in Arizona. It turns out that the
problem doesn't only exist in Arizona but in every single state in the union due to federal
law. The National Voter Registration Act prevents every state from requiring people to prove
that they are US citizens to vote. How about them apples? In my view, this makes things
far worse than I had originally presumed. Joe Biden really is importing millions of potential
voters, and federal law actually prevents states from confirming the citizenship status of people
as they register to vote. Ironically, this standard was established firmly due to a case that
came out of Arizona, when in 2004 Arizona Proposition 200 was voted on to establish a requirement
that proof of citizenship should be required in order to register to vote. The state was sued
by voting rights activists, claiming that federal law supersedes the state requirement. The
District Court agreed with the state, but the Supreme Court (led by, ironically, Justice Scalia) disagreed.
Turkish
Smugglers Use Social Media To Help 'Citizens Of Every Country' Reach The US Border.
Turkish smugglers appear to be using social media platforms to help migrants from across the globe
enter the U.S. illegally through the southern border, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation
review of Telegram and TikTok posts. The advertisements offer arrangements for travel, visas
and transportation directly to the U.S.-Mexico border for migrants in Europe, Asia and the Middle
East. Border Patrol encounters of migrants crossing the southern border illegally have hit
numerous records in recent years, with more than 2.2 million encounters in fiscal
year 2022 and more than 2 million in fiscal year 2023, according to federal data.
50
Texas Counties Declare Border 'Invasion' Due to Biden's Policies. The Constitution is
clear on what the role of the federal government is when it comes to illegal immigration. "The
United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and
shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the
Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence," Article IV,
Section 4 declares. As we've seen, President Joe Biden's administration and his
Democratic enablers in Congress don't want to meaningfully protect U.S. citizens from the invasion
of illegal immigrants and criminal cartels at our southern border. They don't want to protect
voters in border states against the flood of fentanyl and lawlessness with anything except words.
NY
Dem Rep. Yvette Clarke Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About Illegals: "I Need More People in
My District Just for Redistricting Purposes". As New York collapses under the weight of
Joe Biden's broken border and a neverending stream of illegals stretch resources, at least one NY Dem
is celebrating what it means for her politically. New York City Mayor Eric Adams shared that the
city is supporting 110,000 "asylum seekers" who have arrived since April 2022 with up to 10,000
more coming per month. In September, Adams told a crowd at an Upper West Side town hall meeting,
"Let me tell you something, New Yorkers. Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not
see an ending to. I don't see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City.
Destroy New York City," and "The city we knew, we're about to lose." But Congresswoman Yvette
Clarke (D-NY) sees an upside in illegals flooding American cities and said the quiet part out.
More illegals means help for redistricting purposes.
The Editor says...
In other words, she doesn't care what the flood of illegal immigrants costs this country;
she only cares about how it can benefit her political career.
AOC's
Solution to the Border Crisis May Be the Dumbest Thing I've Ever Heard. While
appearing on "The Daily Show," a journalistic bastion if there ever was one, Ocasio-Cortez decided
to let it be known that the real way to "fix" the border is to "document people."
[Tweet] [Tweet with video clip] According to the esteemed congresswoman, the issue
of millions of people flooding over the border illegally can be easily solved by simply handing out
documented status. Isn't that what we are already doing, though? Joe Biden's
catch-and-release policy allows illegal immigrants to enter the interior of the country. Some
outlets have even reported that work authorizations are being given out. Regardless of the
specifics, Ocasio-Cortez's suggestion still makes no sense. It's like saying you are going to
fix your toilet by burning down your house. I mean, I guess your toilet ceases to be a
problem at that point, but now you've got no house. If you start giving legal work
authorization to every illegal immigrant who crosses the border, then you are ceding the idea of
having a border at all, which is exactly what Democrats want.
No
Border — Say Goodbye to America. Nobel prize-winning economist Milton
Friedman scolded the Wall Street Journal for cheerleading an open-border immigration policy.
"It's just obvious you can't have free immigration and a welfare state," he warned. This
leads to a "transfer state," as the Heritage Foundation describes, the government taxing the upper
and middle classes, transferring money to lower economic classes via subsidies and benefits.
In other words, "The transfer state redistributes funds from those with high-skill and high-income
levels to those with lower skill levels." Heritage makes the assumption, "It takes the entire
net tax payments (taxes paid minus benefits received) of one college-educated family to pay for the
net benefits received by one low-skill immigrant family." What happens when that ratio changes
to one financially sound family supporting not one, but two, three, or more families through
ever-increasing taxes and families to support?
Thousands
Of Africans Flying To Central America Before Crossing Illegally Into United States.
Thousands of Africans are flying to Central America in order to travel into the United States
illegally by crossing the southern border. A record number of illegal immigrants have entered
America in the last year under President Joe Biden, according to a report from The New York
Times. The Times reported on Friday that there were 58,462 Africans apprehended at the
southern border in fiscal year 2023 — up from 13,406 in 2022, according to government
data. The 2023 numbers include 15,263 from Mauritania, 13,526 from Senegal, and over 4,000
from Angola and Guinea. These Africans are flying into Central America, many starting in
Nicaragua, and then making their way up into America by crossing through Mexico. The influx
of Africans is reportedly in part due to some countries in Europe implementing tighter border
controls. It is unclear how exactly all of these migrants are paying for their flights across
the Atlantic, as many of them are looking to escape poverty. Some claim they borrow money
from friends while others say they sold small businesses. Once they make it to the southern
border, many of the illegal migrants are simply released into the United States.
African
Migrants: 'Getting into the United States is certain'. Migrants from Mexico have been
crossing the southern border in large numbers for decades. More recently migrants from
Central America and South America have decided now is the time to make the long, dangerous journey
to the US. But it's a testament to just how completely Joe Biden has bungled the border crisis that
word is now being spread even in Africa: The US border is open. [...] ["]According to
government data obtained by The [New York] Times, the number of Africans apprehended at the
southern border jumped to 58,462 in the fiscal year 2023 from 13,406 in 2022.["] Just to
put that number in perspective, it was only a few years ago that 58,462 was more migrants than the
Border Patrol encountered in most months. Between FY 2014 and FY 2018 there were only a
handful of individual months where the number of encounters topped 58,000 and even then not by
much. For any of those years, 58,000 would have been about 10-12% of our total annual number
of border encounters.
Money
Flows Through D.C. Like Sewage. There are a lot of reasons to argue against the
massive influx of illegals the past few years. First and foremost, it is a violation of our
sovereignty and national security. That ought to stop it dead in its tracks. The fact
that these people are entering without any form of background checks, any traditional requirements
of vaccinations (the real ones, if there are any these days) no designations as to whether they are
entering for the third or fourth time to multiply the benefits they receive. The border
patrols are so busy waving them in, making sure they get signed up for all of the social services
that most citizens aren't able to apply for, get their pre-loaded cash cards, get their cell
phones, plane tickets and housing arrangements, the sort of things a veteran would be astonished to
receive for their sacrifice for the nation, that the border patrol agents don't have time to stop
the drug and human trafficking along the unguarded borders. Not that they would anyway,
because of their pensions and their total freaking fear of their supervisors, all of whom are
cowards and traitors.
It's obviously a Uniparty conspiracy: Turning
America Upside-Down. Behold: It's the leprechaun-logistics theory of magic
migration that tells us hordes of clean, fed, and comfortably shod invading migrants miraculously
and spontaneously appear at the America end of their personal rainbows, where they demand pots of
U.S. taxpayer gold. But with no backpacks to carry water, energy snacks, or even spare socks
for their journey? [Indeed], our children don't go off to neighborhood elementary schools
without backpacks full of supplies. So how is it these folks walk the 1,300-mile
south-to-north expanse of Mexico, not to mention trekking from Central and South America, without
backpacks? Watching thousands of illegals daily pour across America's southern border forces
recognition that this mass invasion didn't just pop out of the woodwork or happen
organically. The magnitude and duration of this invasion demands answers to four core
questions: 1) Who organizes these people? 2) Who provides water, food, and critical
support for these hundreds of thousands of people? 3) Who arranges and distributes the
go-to-this-enabler contact lists these invaders are given and then carry with them so they
know with whom to connect when they step off free-pass buses and gratuitously ticketed airplanes?
And 4) Who recruits, coordinates, and supports the many enablers named on these contact lists [...]
Biden
Sues Texas Over State Law to Stop Illegal-alien Invasion. The Biden administration
sued Texas yesterday because Governor Greg Abbott and state legislators decided the Lone Star State
must do the job Biden won't do. The lawsuit seeks to stop Texas from enforcing SB4, a law
that criminalizes entering Texas illegally across the southwest border and also allows state
officials to deport illegal aliens. The administration claims that enforcing immigration law
is the sole purview of the federal government. As well this week, the administration sought
permission from the U.S. Supreme Court to remove razor wire that Texas authorities installed to
stop the illegal-alien invasion that Biden is aiding and abetting. [Tweet]
DOJ
Sues Texas To Prevent State From Arresting Migrants Who Enter Illegally. The Biden
administration is suing Texas to prevent the state from arresting migrants who flout U.S.
immigration law to enter the state illegally, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced
Wednesday. The DOJ is making good on its threat to sue Texas over enforcing S.B. 4, a new law
signed in December 2023 that would permit local and state authorities to arrest and prosecute
individuals suspected of entering the U.S. illegally, according to the DOJ and NBC 5 Dallas-Fort
Worth. Texas Illegal immigration has surged to record levels under the Biden administration,
with Texas seeing a massive influx of migrants arriving at its border with Mexico. "The
Constitution assigns the federal government the authority to regulate immigration and manage our
international borders. Pursuant to this authority, Congress has established a comprehensive
framework governing the entry of noncitizens into the United States and the removal of noncitizens
from the country," the DOJ stated in a press release announcing the lawsuit. "Because SB 4 is
preempted by federal law and violates the U.S. Constitution, the Justice Department seeks a
declaration that SB 4 is invalid and an order preliminarily and permanently enjoining the state
from enforcing the law."
The
Democrat party: who are they? Just who are the members of the Democrat/socialist/communist
(D/s/c) Party? How do their beliefs differ from those of normal Americans? [...] Among their favored
oppressed are criminals — the more violent and depraved the better — and their policies
have turned our blue cities into third world war zones. Other oppressed are the millions of illegal
aliens they're importing. Non-D/s/c Americans have so disappointed them. They intend to abolish
them and import their replacements. That many of them are criminals, terrorists, pedophiles, slavers
and masses who can't speak the language and have no skills with which to support themselves is a feature
rather than a bug. They're worried about the illegal avalanche, but not because of the damage it's
doing to America. They're afraid of losing power, afraid, despite their best Trump Derangement
Syndrome efforts, their election fraud protocols might not prevail.
Why
The Sudden Media Interest In The Biden Border Crisis? After spending three years
largely ignoring the border, the mainstream press is suddenly all over it, with headlines blaring
about a "surge," "crisis" and "call for action." Why now? Last week CNN reported that a
"December migrant surge" at the southern border was the "largest in more than two decades." Several
other news outlets used similar language. The New York Times warned that "surging" Mexico
border crossings "push U.S. resources to the brink." In another story, CNN even described the
situation as a "crisis." Weirdly, the press is even exaggerating the current "surge."
Consider that CNN story, which says: "Border authorities encountered more than 225,000
migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border this month, marking the highest monthly total recorded since
2000, according to preliminary Homeland Security statistics shared with CNN." Except that's not
true. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, illegal crossings exceeded
225,000 in August, September, October, and November of this year, and in six previous months since
President Joe Biden took office. As a matter of fact, illegal crossings have averaged
more than 200,000 since Biden moved into the White House.
Gov.
Greg Abbott shipped over 85,000 illegal migrants from Texas in over one year. In less
than a year-and-a-half, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has transported 85,400 illegal migrants to
so-called sanctuary cities run by Democrats who don't want to adhere to federal immigration
enforcement. New York City has borne the brunt of Texas offloading the crisis to Democratic
enclaves, with Abbott sending 32,200 to the Big Apple starting in August 2022, according to
his office. Chicago has seen the second amount of migrants sent from Texas with 24,500
migrants arriving over the last year and four months. While highly unpopular, specifically
among Democrats, Abbott's strategy of sending migrants to sanctuary cities is helping flip the
narrative and get more attention on the crisis.
More
than 302,000 illegal migrants crossed into the US in December. A record number of
migrants crossed the U.S. southern border in December, according to a new report, topping the
highest amount ever recorded as President Joe Biden continues to grapple with the crisis.
There were 300,000 encounters in the last month of 2023, U.S. Custom and Border Patrol sources told
Fox News. Between Dec. 1 and December 31, more than 302,000 migrants were documented
attempting to cross the U.S. southern border. It is the highest total for a single month ever
recorded in history and it marks the first time migrant encounters have reached over 300,000.

Illegal Aliens Unlawfully Entering U.S. Receive High End Luggage Concierge Service.
Illegal aliens who've unlawfully crossed the US-Mexico border are being treated to unprecedented
concierge services, with their luggage being safely transported into the US aboard trucks and

rack loaded to the brim with luggage and bags pulling a trailer also packed full of luggage.
"Here we are in Eagle Pass," says the man filming. "And that guy right there, he carries all the
people's baggage across so when they get here they don't have to carry their bags. That's
his job."
Flashpoints
of a second civil war? ["]For more than a year, Breitbart News has chronicled
how DHS is planning to roll out a pilot program that will give border crossers and illegal aliens
photo ID cards, similar to a driver's license, upon their release into the United States interior
from the southern border.["] This, knowing there is no way to confirm the identity of
most, if not all, illegal immigrants. They'll be giving official government ID to
military-aged males from enemy countries, establishing false identities for them. Unless
government can be certain of the identification of these cardholders, data entry, storage and
retrieval will be chaotic at best. We'll be storing false, misdirecting data on ghosts,
criminals, terrorists and spies. These will be alternate social security numbers, rendering
the real thing essentially meaningless. [...] This is nothing less than normalizing and
legalizing illegal immigration. It's establishing a separate criminal class, yet a class
that can never be prosecuted for their crimes. It's a blatant flaunting of the law.
Blue states will use the cards, without any vetting, to issue driver's licenses, voter registration
cards, and all manner of other entitlements. Every card issued is an abetment of a variety of
federal crimes, and surrender of our national sovereignty.
The
Corruption of Everything. The border has been corrupted. Almost ten million
illegal entrants have come across our borders, bringing terrorists, sex-traffickers, and
criminals. It's proving to be overwhelming to the cities where they squat, and it must
stop. Are we waiting for a massive cyber-attack? This administration is almost
single-handedly destroying our sovereignty. Thanks, Joe.
Blinken
Talked to AMLO About "Normalizing" Illegal Aliens. In case you didn't get enough
lumps of coal (or some carbon-free alternative) in your Christmas stocking, here's a late entry for
you. As John discussed yesterday, the US delegation to Mexico went to beg for help from
President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador with the Biden border crisis this week. He predicted
that whatever help the Biden administration winds up getting will be "somewhere between nothing and
not much." That clearly seems to be panning out, but it's probably not because AMLO is fighting us
or unwilling to cooperate. What was the delegation actually negotiating with Mexico?
Ostensibly they were supposed to be asking for our southern neighbor's help in preventing massive
armies of illegal migrants from reaching our border in the first place. There may have been
some discussions along those lines, but according to some officials familiar with the negotiations,
they were also talking about "normalizing Hispanic illegal aliens already in the United States.
That would include the eight to ten million already allowed in since Joe Biden took office.
Biden
Regime Threatens to Sue Texas if it Arrests and Deports Illegal Aliens Under New State Immigration
Law. The Biden regime has escalated its war on Texas. Not satisfied with
flooding the state with millions of illegal aliens, they now want to stop the state from removing
the invaders. The Gateway Pundit previously reported Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill
earlier this month known as SB4 which grants state and local law enforcement officials the power to
arrest, jail, and prosecute illegal migrants. Moreover, it allows judges to issue de facto
deportation orders, thus allowing the state to send back the invaders the Regime has happily
allowed in. This act of brave defiance has ticked off the Regime. As CBS News revealed
Thursday, the Department of "Justice" told Texas in a letter they would sue if the state dares to
implement SB4.

Biden's DHS Confirms Illegal Aliens Freed into U.S. Will Get Photo ID Cards in 2024.
President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has confirmed that the agency is
developing a program that will provide border crossers and illegal aliens released into the United
States with photo ID cards. For more than a year, Breitbart News has chronicled how DHS is
planning to roll out a pilot program that will give border crossers and illegal aliens photo ID
cards, similar to a driver's license, upon their release into the United States interior from the
southern border. Now, DHS officials are seemingly confirming their plan to issue photo IDs to
such border crossers and illegal aliens. Buried in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's
(ICE) annual report, officials confirmed that they are planning to begin issuing the photo ID cards
to border crossers and illegal aliens sometime this fiscal year.
The Editor says...
There is only one reason to provide ID cards to every illegal alien, and it's not so they can be identified
and deported later. It is to enable them to get a job, sign up for welfare benefits, and VOTE.

Asylum-Seeking
Families At U.S. Border Say That 'Going Back' Is Not An Option. One woman who spoke
to CNN reporters claimed that she was attacked by criminals seeking money in her home country and
that she has no desire to ever go back. The woman, who left her native country of Honduras
with her two children, says that she is an activist who has been forced into unemployment for
criticizing her own nation's government. Thousands of undocumented immigrants arrived at a
Texas shelter on Christmas Eve, having been released on parole by immigration officials.
Since there were not enough resources at a handful of shelters for newcomers, many of them were
still seen waiting outside, hoping for any possible openings.
The Editor says...
The article immediately above carries the aroma of astroturf propaganda. The lady at the center
of it is a single mom with little kids who can never go home. How touching. But for every
single mom with little kids, there are probably a hundred single men crossing the border. A
reporter would have to look all day to find another single mom in this situation — unless
she and the kids were introduced by a friendly government official or NGO.
Despite
warning of cold temperatures, migrants choose to come to Chicago. As the suburbs
continue to take a stand on arriving migrants, Chicago is running out of funds to help them, and
space to house them. As CBS 2's Marybel Gonzalez reported, migrants are still choosing
Chicago as their landing spot in the U.S. Even as temperatures drop in Chicago, the city
continues to be a hot spot for new arrivals. CBS 2 spoke with a person running some of
the shelters along the southern border about why this could be.
The Editor says...
I find it very difficult to believe the story above. Why would anyone from Mexico, Central
America, South America, or the Caribbean voluntarily move to brutally-cold Chicago?
For every such migrant, I suspect one could find a hundred others who were sent to Chicago
by Governor Abbott.

Mayor: We Now Have Migrants 'Stranded' in Our City, That Didn't Happen Before.
On Thursday's broadcast of "CNN News Central," Laredo, TX Mayor Treviño stated that while

of moving on to another city, there are now people "stranded in our community with no money and no
idea of where they're going."
Tucker
Carlson: Biden is Importing Millions of Third-World Illegals While Telling Them White People
Are a Source of Their Problems. "The Biden administration is importing millions of
third-world immigrants to live here illegally, and at the same time telling them that white people
are the source of their problems. How's that going to work out in the end?" Tucker Carlson
said. More than 10 million illegal aliens — mainly military-age men from
Africa, Middle East and Latin America have invaded the US since Joe Biden was installed in
January 2021. The illegal aliens are being told by the Democrat-media complex that white
people — specifically white men — are the world's problems.
Mexican
Cops Step Aside as New Migrant 'Poverty' Caravan Moves North. Mexican authorities
stood down any efforts to contain a new migrant caravan that embarked this week from the southern
part of Mexico. Authorities are currently escorting the groups and providing crowd
control. Calling themselves the Poverty Exodus (Exodo de la Pobreza), the caravan, which is
made up of more than 6,000 migrants, left the city of Tapachula, Chiapas, on Christmas Eve.
The caravan is making its way north. In various parts of the journey, the migrants waved a
banner with the caravan's name and carried a white cross. Members of the group made public
claims that their goal was to reach the United States for economic reasons.
The Editor says...
One could easily surmise that the immigrants' only accomplishment will be to spread poverty to another
country — the U.S. — because if these were productive workers, they probably
could have made a living in their native countries.
Mayor
Eric Adams: Illegal Immigration Spurring 'Erosion of Quality of Life' in New York
City. The arrival of more than 160,000 border crossers and illegal aliens is spurring
"the erosion of the quality of life" for New Yorkers, Mayor Eric Adams (D) says. During a
press conference alongside Chicago, Illinois, Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) and Denver, Colorado,
Mayor Mike Johnston (D), Adams warned again that New York City is falling into disarray as a result
of illegal immigration. Every day, President Joe Biden's administration releases about 5,000
border crossers and illegal aliens into the United States interior — many ending up in
New York City, where they can work off the books, receive protection from the city's sanctuary
policy, and enjoy free housing paid for by local taxpayers. Now, Adams says, the city has hit
a "breaking point" from illegal immigration.
The Editor says...
The mayor can renounce and rescind New York's status as a "Sanctuary City" at any time, and Texas might
stop sending illegal aliens. But he won't do so, for political reasons. He doesn't seem to
understand that there is an unlimited supply of hungry and unemployed
(and violent
and diseased) immigrants arriving every day,
and there are multiple ways of transporting them to the cities that boast about being sanctuaries.
Why
Not Just Invite the Entire World to the U.S.? Today's reality is that there is no
national border. At least for those crossing by foot or caravan. For those attempting
to enter the U.S. legally, by following the law and visa application process, it's a nightmare of
rules, delays, cost, and frustration. For those interested, read here about the bizarre
labyrinth facing citizens of many countries to legally visit or transit through America. Lady
Liberty doesn't want any "huddled masses yearning to breathe free" that follow American law, but
has her arms and purse wide open to those coming to America illegally. How many? Before
President Biden, "As of 2021, the nation's 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants represented
about 3% of the total U.S. population." What about now, specifically the past three years under
Biden? Since Biden took office in early 2021, the Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP)
has "encountered" almost 8 million border crossers, the majority young military age
males. In August alone, that number was 232,972, an annualized rate of 3 million
migrants a year.
The Editor says...
The widely-touted figure of 11 million illegal aliens has been treated like an indisputable
mathematical constant by the news media for at least 20 years. There were probably that
many in Texas alone, even before Joe Biden (or his puppeteers) opened up the border a few years ago.
Three
simple fixes would radically improve the 'border' situation — but Democrats don't
care. We don't have a border. The media constantly tell the public that the
illegal immigration problem is a complex issue that's extremely hard to solve, but that is not
true. The border was significantly more controlled under President Trump, before Joe Biden
reversed his successful policies. There are three main things that would greatly reduce the problem:
[#1] Enforce existing laws.
[#2] Make people who seek asylum remain in Mexico. If we did that, Mexico would
suddenly enforce their southern border, instead of allowing illegals from all over the world to stroll into the
U.S. The nation couldn't afford to keep the masses within its borders, and the government knows it.
[#3] Build the wall. It is the cheapest solution, both short- and long-term.
Then why is New York still a "sanctuary city?" Eric
Adams Suggests Migrant Crisis Will Result In Rampant Crime. Democratic New York City
Mayor Eric Adams raised concerns that the city's migrant crisis will create more crime during a
press conference Tuesday. Migrants that are arriving and unable to work in the U.S. legally
have become a challenge for the city, Adams said during the news conference, where he was asked
about rising crime. Out of the more than 100,000 migrants that have arrived to the city, only
2,200 have been approved for work permits, Anne Williams-Isom, the city's deputy mayor for health
and human services, said. "When I talk about the devastation impact that the migrant and asylum
seekers, people only think about the volume of people that are coming in. There are
byproducts to this, cuts to services, like we had to postpone a police class, looking at some of
the budgetary cuts, having a body of people, many young, who can't work," Adams said.

"Mass
Migration Blueprints" Reveal NGOs "Carefully Planned" US Migrant Invasion, Report
Says. A network of NGOs, or non-governmental organizations, seems to be playing a
powerful role in coordinating the large-scale invasion of illegals at the US southern border.
The new website Muckraker revealed a treasure trove of "mass migration blueprints," handed out by
NGOs across South and Central America to illegals with details about their route to the US.
Biden's
broken borders, welfare, and America's coming collapse. Wall Street has always liked
the idea of open borders because it sees people chasing jobs, thereby increasing wealth. A
certain sector has also liked the idea of unlettered immigrants who can easily be exploited, but
that's another subject entirely. Another group that likes open borders is leftists. As
this UMinn professor made clear, they loath America, and a country without borders isn't a country
at all. This is great for Biden because his illegal open border caters to both demographics,
Wall Street and the hard left. It's not often that you get a political two-fer quite like
that. Milton Friedman, who believed in the free flow of capital, also liked open
borders. However, he had a very firm caveat: "It's just obvious you can't have free
immigration and a welfare state."
Illegals
Near NYC's Floyd Bennett Field [are] Going Door to Door Begging for Money [and] Food.
Illegals being housed at a tent shelter at Floyd Bennett Field in NYC are going door to door in the
neighboring community begging for cash, food, and clothes. Residents are learning the hard
way what it means to be a sanctuary city. [...] On Tuesday, Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa
shared a video taken outside of Floyd Bennett Field showing the deteriorating conditions of the
tent city and called on the city to step in. Sliwa shared, "So here we are. We got the
four tents behind us. You got all the migrants behind us, they won't let us get any closer.
And we've gone all through Marine Park in the area where all the illegal aliens are going."

All-Time Worsts for America with Joe Biden as President. President Joe Biden has
helped break records this year at the United States-Mexico border. In particular, Biden's
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) oversaw record illegal immigration, again, to the U.S. in
2023. According to private testimony from DHS officials given to House and Senate committees
this month, the agency is releasing about 5,000 illegal aliens every day from the border into
American communities. Put another way, Biden's DHS is releasing about 150,000 illegal aliens
into the U.S. interior every month — the equivalent of adding ten Martha's Vineyards to
the country every 30 days.
Joe
Biden's Southern Border Is in Chaos, and It's Going to Cost the U.S. Billions. It's
no secret that our southern border is in nothing less than disarray, and the blame can be squarely
placed on the Biden administration's rhetoric and policies. It's gotten so bad states along
the border are having to take extraordinary actions to combat the problem. Governor Greg
Abbott of Texas has signed a law authorizing law enforcement to arrest illegal immigrants and even
Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs of Arizona has tapped the National Guard to help control the
problem. The Biden administration has actively opposed efforts in those states to stymie
illegal immigration, ordering Arizona to remove shipping container walls and actively sabotaging
deterrents in Texas.
More
than 242,000 people arrived at the southern border in November. U.S. Customs and
Border Protection recorded more than nearly a quarter of a million encounters at the southwest land
border in the month of November, the agency confirmed Friday, while insisting that authorities
stationed along the Mexican frontier need additional support from Congress. In total, CBP
reported 242,418 arrivals at the southern border in November, including 191,113 between ports of
entry. The figures represent a modest uptick from the October numbers of 240,988 total and
188,778 between ports of entry. The agency processed 43,000 individuals at ports of entry
using the CBP One app.
Biden's
Parole Pipeline Frees Over 670K Foreign Nationals into U.S. in 11 Months.
President Joe Biden's parole pipeline at the United States-Mexico border has released a foreign
population into American communities larger than Las Vegas, Nevada's, population in less than a
year. On Friday, Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released illegal immigration
figures for November. The data shows that since the start of the year, more than 670,000
foreign nationals have been released into the U.S. interior through the administration's parole
pipeline. The parole pipeline is made up of so-called "humanitarian parole" that Biden's DHS
offers to Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans as well as the "CBP One" migrant mobile
app whereby foreign nationals in Mexico can schedule appointments at the border for release into
the U.S. interior.
10
more migrant buses arrive in Denver as Speer encampment grows. Residents who live
near a migrant encampment at Zuni and Speer say the number of tents is growing and the trash is
becoming a larger issue. On Thursday, 10 buses arrived in Denver with 341 migrants
inside. The city said that puts Denver on track to break 100 buses just in December.
One of the main spots they're landing is an encampment at Zuni Street and Speer Boulevard.
With more migrants coming in, residents' concerns are growing — one of those concerns
being the trash created by a growing number of people in that one spot.
"13M
Gotaways" Alone, 14,509 Illegal Crossers in One Day. A Washinton Examiner report puts
the new estimate this week of the growing population of "gotaways" in the United States at a
sky-high 13 million, more than the population of every state except four: California,
Texas, New York, and Florida. "I think the number is around, now, probably close to
13 million," said Steven Camarota, the research director for the Center for Immigration
Studies. There is a formula for determining the numbers, but there could be one million to
two million more than that. [...] Border Patrol announced this week that on Monday, they had a
total record-breaking 14,509 apprehensions across all sectors in one day.
Secession
Without Secession. The border patrol has simply waved the white flag to any and all
comers, criminals, rapists, murderers, terrorists and cartels. Everything Texas has done to
stop it has been challenged by who? The federal government. Federal agents were cutting
the razor wire placed by Texas as a barrier to these illegals. My point is, the enemy within
might be able to destroy the United States, but they cannot destroy the states, unless the states
allow them to do so. The United States is the same as the European Union, at one time it was
a blessing that has turned into a curse. We don't have to live like this.
Biden
is breaking the border on purpose — he wants mass amnesty. The backlog of
pending cases in the nation's immigration courts has hit 3 million, as millions of border
migrants have been released into the United States to seek asylum in the past three years.
It's a shocking figure, but just the latest example of the president's efforts to break the
immigration-enforcement system, likely to force a massive amnesty he has long sought.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — among others — has accused
former President Trump of "gutting" the immigration system, but such claims are little more than
projection. Annual southwest border apprehensions exceeded 405,500 just once during the last
presidency, in fiscal year 2019 when they hit 860,000. Trump responded with the successful "Remain
in Mexico" program, driving illegal migration down again. Apprehensions have subsequently
exceeded 2 million in the past two fiscal years, setting a new all-time record
(2.2 million) in FY 2022.
15
GOP Senators Warn Against Secret Border Deal With Democrats. Nearly one-third of
Senate Republicans are asking their leaders not to finalize a border agreement with President Joe
Biden and other Democrats without allowing members to review it. The 15 GOP members sent a
letter dated Sunday to Republican Conference Chairman John Barrasso, R-Wyo., to ask for a meeting
of all Senate Republicans no sooner than Jan. 8, when the House reconvenes. "Rushed and
secret negotiations with Democrats who want an open border and who caused the current crisis will
not secure the border," the GOP senators' letter to Barrasso says. A spokeswoman for Barrasso
told The Daily Signal on Monday: "Chairman Barrasso received a request from 15 colleagues for a
conference meeting on immigration. He will work with all Republican senators to schedule the
meeting." Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., was named as the GOP point man to negotiate a
border agreement with Senate Democrats. This would be part of a larger deal to fund border
security within a national security spending bill to provide U.S. financial aid both to Ukraine's
defense against Russia and Israel's war with Hamas.
Biden's
Failure to Stop Border 'Invasion' Is Impeachable Offense, GOP House Member Says.
President Joe Biden's unwillingness to stop the border crisis is an impeachable offense that
eclipses the issues surrounding his ties to his family's alleged influence peddling, a member of
the House Homeland Security Committee says. "Just on the border alone, we have a commander in
chief that is operating in high crimes and misdemeanors because he is not securing our homeland,"
Rep. Josh Brecheen, R-Okla., told The Daily Signal. "That — even aside from the
bribery element — the Constitution sets up those three elements of treason, bribery, and
high crimes and misdemeanors for impeachment." The House voted last week to formalize an
impeachment inquiry into Biden as three of its committees — Oversight and
Accountability, Ways and Means, and Judiciary — investigate allegations of corruption
and influence peddling.
Come to America, and sue us! Migrant
groups launch lawsuits against Border Patrol over camping conditions near San Diego.
It's not enough that the food isn't good enough in New York for migrants, who are reportedly
wasting tons of it. Nor is it enough that migrants are getting any shelter at all, as the
same migrants demonstrated in the streets with demands for permanent housing. Now migrant
open-borders groups are complaining about holding-camp conditions for illegal border crossers,
hitting the Border Patrol with two lawsuits in San Diego. [...] After all, didn't the migrants pay
good money to cartel human smugglers, upwards of $7,000 a pop, for passage across into the U.S.
with no visas or papers needed? If the cartels select a remote desert spot for migrant-dumping,
the Border Patrol better be ready to house all of them, no matter how many they send, and with
five-star hotel accomodations, or else lawsuits will be filed.
'We're
Just Uber Drivers': Border Patrol Agent Says America Is Being Destroyed.
[Scroll down] A small sampling of illegal immigrants at the camps say they came from
China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Mauritania, Colombia, and Brazil. Sam
Schultz, whose family volunteers for a group called Border Kindness and are affiliated with the
legal services organization Al Otro Lado, which means "to the other side" in Spanish, delivers food
and water to the camps daily. He told The Epoch Times on Dec. 5 he was worried about
running out of supplies with so many illegal immigrants crossing that day. Mr. Schultz
said about 30 percent of the illegal immigrants in the latest wave to the Jacumba camps are
from China. Manny Bayon, a National Border Patrol Council union spokesman in San Diego, told
The Epoch Times the number of illegal immigrants released into San Diego County has doubled in the
last two weeks — from 400 to 500 per day to 800 to 1,000.
No, a "hardline" policy would limit them to 50 a day. Or five. Or zero. Senate
closes in on deal on new hardline border policy that could ban asylum after 5,000 crossings a
day. The Senate has pushed off its holiday recess to work on a border security and
foreign aid package in what could be a breakthrough on immigration policy[,] that has not been dealt
with by Congress in decades. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said the talks had made
'good progress' on Thursday on a package that would include money for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan
and would bolster border security measures in exchange. One idea under consideration is to
allow Homeland Security officials to stop migrants from applying for asylum at the southern border
if the total number of crossings on a day exceeds 5,000.
Border?
What Border? There's been a lot going on in the news lately, but I have kept one eye
on the goings-on at the southern border. Just because there are wars outside the United States that
catch the eye changes nothing about the importance of our border crisis. And it is a crisis.
A huge crisis, and even if the flow of migrants stopped tomorrow, the US will be dealing with the effects
for years to come. Like increased prices after a surge of inflation, the huge bump in the number of
migrants won't decrease the significant burden of the illegals who have already arrived. Since Joe
Biden was inaugurated, uncounted millions (I mean this term literally) of illegal migrants have crossed
into the United States. The number of migrants who have turned themselves into the Border Patrol is
staggering, but then there are the millions more about whom we know nothing because they are "gotaways,"
meaning that they are uncounted and unknown.
Noncitizens
who vote in Texas. In early 2019, the Texas secretary of state compiled a list of
about 95,000 people who appeared to be noncitizens yet had also registered to vote in
one or more elections. In addition, the secretary found 58,000 noncitizens who might have
actually voted. It was not a final list: the goal was simply to make inquiries. But
the Republican secretary of state did not understand that sensitive Democrat voters might find
those questions intimidating. Soon, multiple lawsuits were filed (claiming voter
intimidation), and a quick judicial decision shut down the process. As a result of the
court's ruling, the Texas secretary of state was forced to modify his procedures, and he made
modifications that seriously undermined efforts to investigate noncitizen voting. Here is how
the new Texas system works: the only people who can be investigated are those who register to vote
and subsequently confess to the Texas Department of Public Safety that they are not citizens.
In effect, the voter has to volunteer that he may have committed a felony. Despite the crazy
new rules, the Texas secretary of state has identified nearly 12,000 noncitizens who may
have registered to vote — in just the four Texas counties studied.
Latino
Democrats Tout Migrants as Their Constituents. Democratic Latino politicians are
demanding President Joe Biden protect the interests of foreign migrants, regardless of the huge
civic and pocketbook damage to unhyphenated Americans, Latino-Americans, and legal immigrants.
"We are here to protect immigration as it is," Rep. Nanette Barragan (D-CA), told an audience
of legislators, activists, and media at a December 13 rally beside the Capitol. The
rally called on President Joe Biden to deny any significant concessions to GOP negotiators in the
debate over his demand for $14 billion in emergency funds to accelerate and hide his migration
flood, and funds for wartime aid for Israel and Ukraine.
Most likely an underestimation: Biden's
Border Crisis Just Keeps Getting Worse, 13 Million Illegal Aliens Now In U.S..
As the 2024 election rounds the corner, President Joe Biden's border crisis is at the forefront of
voter's minds — which has exceeded a staggering 13 million illegal aliens now in
the United States. According to a new report, the growing number of "gotaways" has reached a
record high as migrants illegally enter the U.S. through the southern border. Steven
Camarota, the research director for the Center for Immigration Studies, said that there are now
nearly 50 million foreign-born citizens in the U.S. — driven solely based on the
Biden Administration's open border policies. This number is far more than the government
previously expected. He said this is the most significant percentage of foreign-born
immigrants in the U.S. the country has ever seen. However, Camarota said that number is just
an estimate and could be much larger than recorded. His report also found that illegal border
crossings under Biden have exceeded far beyond the presidencies of Obama and Bush.
Americans
Must Choose Between Civilization or Its Destroyers. Nihilism is the religion of the
Left. Anarchy is now at the core of the new Democratic Party. If the Left wished
radically to alter the demography of the U.S., it could have expanded legal immigration through
legislation or the courts. Instead, it simply erased the border and dynamited federal
immigration law. By fiat, nihilists ended the wall, and stopped detaining and deporting
illegal aliens altogether. Or was it worse than that when candidate Joe Biden in
September 2019 urged would-be illegal aliens to "surge" the border? As a result, through
laxity and entitlement incentives, eight million illegal entrants have swarmed the southern border
under the Biden administration. They are swamping border towns, bankrupting big-city budgets,
and infuriating even Democratic constituencies.
Abbott
Announces Texas Border Officers Will Be Allowed to Arrest Illegal Aliens.
Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) announced sweeping new measures aimed at keeping illegal migrants out
of the United States as thousands have unlawfully crossed the border through his state under the
Biden Administration. On Sunday, Abbott announced that state officers will soon be allowed to
arrest and detain illegal aliens in an effort to curb the mass numbers of migrants entering the
U.S. through the southern border. "Well, I'll tell you a couple of things very
interesting. For one, the problem is extraordinarily bad. The numbers are high, and
that is because Joe Biden continues to lay out the welcome mat, welcoming illegal immigrants into
the United States of America," Abbott told FOX News Channels' Sunday Morning Futures with
host Maria Bartiromo.
Biden's
DOJ Fines Tennessee Christian Trucking Company $700,000 for Requiring Workers to Disclose Legal
Status. Biden's Department of Justice has slapped a whopping $700,000 fine on
Covenant Transport Inc. and the affiliated Transport Management Services LLC, both stellar examples
of Tennessee's robust transportation sector. The recent decision by the Department of Justice
(DOJ) to impose a $700,000 fine on Covenant Transport Inc., a Christian trucking company based in
Chattanooga, Tennessee, raises significant concerns about the overreach of federal power and the
disregard for the realities faced by businesses in regulating their workforce. The DOJ, under
Joe Biden's regime, claims this measure is to resolve alleged violations of the anti-discrimination
provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) by Covenant and its affiliated entity,
Transport Management Services LLC.
Six
Democrats Join House GOP to Block Biden from Turning Federal Lands into Migrant Camps.
Just six Democrats joined House Republicans this week to prevent President Joe Biden from turning
federal lands into migrant camps for tens of thousands of illegal aliens who have been released
into the United States interior. On Thursday, the House passed Rep. Nicole Malliotakis's
legislation known as the "Protecting our Communities from Failure to Secure the Border Act" to block
the federal government from using federal lands to house illegal aliens in a 224-203 vote.
Waves
of Invasion. We are at a point when the entire American population is awakening to
the fact that the ongoing daily invasion of our southern border is a real problem, after millions
of foreigners have already entered and disappeared among our 48 contiguous states. And yet we
have a Democrat party, which inhabits a government, founded in the Constitution, that down to the
last member rejects its "law" to execute the standing laws regarding defending our borders and
controlling immigration. They have allowed this invasion to continue since January 2021.
What could be the reason? If we look at our history, this is not the first invasion the
Democrat party has championed. It is one of many.
Where's
America's Conor McGregor? [Scroll down] We do not have to accept the
invaders or their criminal actions, or the criminal actions of our own governments, for that
matter. Whatever actions are required to make our governments respect our demands is
acceptable. It was criminality that brought them here, unofficial and official, that allowed
them the open door to our homes, our shops, our streets and public places and so whatever force is
needed to return them seems justified. They opened the door, they can close it. They
allowed them to come, they can send them back. Whatever level of force it takes to make them
listen to the people, is up to them. Whenever they want the protests to stop, they can remove
the cause. Whenever they want the murders, rapes and robberies to stop, they can stop them by
removing the people they brought in to conduct such atrocities. We know the reason is to
frighten us, an act of terrorism itself, to succumb to their control in the interest of safety.
Americans
are angry about immigration. The Know-Nothings represented one of America's periodic
anti-immigrant backlashes — others included the nativist backlash of the 1910s that led
to the restrictive Johnson-Reed Act of 1924, and the 1990s backlash that led to a 1996 law making
many immigrants ineligible for welfare benefits, and to the Secure Fence Act a decade later.
If you think the U.S. is always an open, inviting, immigrant-friendly place, think again.
Usually it is; every backlash so far has eventually faded, and a permissive immigration
system has returned. Our leaders, from George Washington and Thomas Jefferson to LBJ and
Ronald Reagan, have almost always been a pro-immigrant bunch. Immigration is deeply ingrained
in our national self-concept. But every once in a while, a sufficiently large number of
Americans get the idea that immigration is a threat to our nation, and they take actions to limit
that perceived threat. Unfortunately, now appears to be one of those times.
Germany
Discovers You Can in Fact Slash Illegal Immigration by Policing Borders. The number
of illegal migrants known crossing into Germany has collapsed in just weeks after the government
decided to try something new: border control. Around 300 illegal migrants are detected
crossing on average into Germany every day, down considerably from the roughly 700 a day a month
ago, analysis of police figures in a German newspaper claims. The sudden change follows a new
policy of border control from the nation's 'traffic light' coalition government, dominated by the
pro-open borders left-wing Social Democrats and the Green party, with some input from the
free-market liberal Free Democrats.
Keyword: cahoots. Report:
'Mysterious' Entities Giving Migrants GPS Coordinates to Unsecure Locations on Southern
Border. "Hundreds of illegal aliens" heading for the U.S. Southern border have been
provided with GPS coordinates of unsecured locations to help them cross en masse, according to a
new report. The crossings are "clearly pre-planned and organized by mysterious hands," Border
Hawk reported Monday. Border Hawk correspondent Efraín González was recently
embedded with a large group of migrants making their way at night through Piedras Negras, Mexico,
to the Rio Grande. "We accompanied this caravan that walked for an hour in the darkest to reach
the crossing point," González reported. The reporter spoke with one migrant who
suggested the Mexican government was directing their movements. "The migrant said they were
angry Mexican authorities sent them to cross into this dangerous area of the river at night,"
González said. "Most of these people do not know how to get to the river. However,
through GPS they obtain the exact location where forklift tractors raised the razor wire in
October," he added. According to Border Hawk, "GPS-guided mass crossings into Eagle Pass"
increased in November.
Democrats
[are] forced to choose between Ukraine and open borders. [Scroll down]
According to news accounts, the GOP is seeking legal changes to the definition of "asylum" such as
it's practiced now so that only actual asylum cases of some level of merit will be
considered. It won't just be claims about living in a bad neighborhood and wanting a better
life, the types of asylum claims that regularly are thrown out once they reach a judge some ten
years from now and the illegal migrant has long disappeared into U.S. society. Processing of
U.S. asylum claims in a timely manner and according to U.S. capacity to process them could also be
on the horse-trading list. Don't have enough personnel? Then applicants will have to
apply to another country, and there are more than a hundred of them. Such changes are
reasonable if the GOP does not cave in, and would actually benefit Democrats too, though they see a
bigger benefit in leaving the border open. Now they have to choose — aid to
Ukraine, or defense of the U.S. border, which do they want more?
Smells
Like a Cover-Up: Some Border Patrol Social Media Accounts Go Dark, Bill Melugin Has Big
Questions. The border has been out of control for some time and Joe Biden seems
uninterested in trying to stem the influx of illegal aliens. It's gotten so bad that the
Republicans have even talked about impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas, the Department of Homeland
Security head, although Biden would likely appoint someone equally bad in order to keep the doors
open to let the flood continue. The Customs and Border Patrol is overwhelmed and not being
allowed to properly do their job. Meanwhile, Mayorkas is concentrating on making the agents
use the "preferred pronouns" of the illegal aliens. So it was quite concerning when the Chief
Patrol Agent of the U.S. Border Patrol's Tucson Sector, John Modlin, announced that the Tucson
sector social media account on X would stop posting and go dark.
Over
300 migrants move into San Diego airport. Over three hundred migrants have been
crashing at the San Diego International Airport as the border city has been hit with a surge of
crossers. Overnight stays by migrants have become common at the airport, but in recent weeks
the number has drastically risen. On Thursday, a bus dropped off dozens of immigrants at
Terminal two, Fox 5 reported.
How
Much the Northern Border Saw In Illegal Crossings. The southern border is not the only one
reaping the downfall effects of President Joe Biden's reckless open border policies. The Northern
border has also seen a record-breaking surge in illegal crossings. According to data, the United
States' northern border with Canada saw a 550 percent increase in migrant apprehensions in the last
fiscal year. There were 6,925 apprehensions in the Swanton sector in fiscal year 2023 between
October 2022 and September 2023. This is compared to 1,000 in the same sector the previous year,
covering New York, New Hampshire, and Vermont, and just 365 in FY 2021. Swanton Sector Chief
Patrol Agent Robert Garcia hit the panic button and requested Border Patrol agents to volunteer
to transfer up north. [Tweet]
Analysis:
Over 23M Immigrants Eligible to Vote in U.S. Ahead of 2024 Election. Ahead of the
highly-anticipated 2024 presidential election, more than 23 million immigrants to the United
States who now have naturalized American citizenship are eligible to cast ballots, new analysis
reveals. The left-wing American Immigration Council released the analysis recently, giving a
glimpse into the electoral power that the nation's annual importation of more than a million legal
immigrants has given to naturalized citizens.
The Editor says...
I am not opposed to naturalized citizens voting, but I strenuously object to illegal aliens voting, accepting
welfare benefits, or comfortably residing without fear of deportation. I am also of the opinion that
several other categories of legal voters should not vote, even though they may.
Something
is very wrong — What now? The elites who rule over us won't secure our
border — or do many other things most of us want them to do — so in a very real
sense we have taxation without representation. We have come full circle and find ourselves in
much the same position as our founders did almost 250 years ago. We know what the founders'
answer was. What will ours be? We know what they did? What will we do? Can we
match their wisdom — and courage? Is it even possible anymore?
The Editor says...
The Congress can't even stop Daylight Saving Time, which most citizens dislike. There's no way
they'll ever find the backbone to seal the borders and deport the illegal aliens.
Martha's
Vineyard [is] once again allowed to boot out the illegals that we commoners are not.
The snobbery and pseudo-elitism that goes hand-in-hand with the elevated status of a Martha's
Vineyard leftist makes it easy to pity their position instead of envy it, with one exception: their
ability to swiftly and decisively eject illegal invaders. On Monday, agents from Boston's
Enforcement and Removal Office (ERO) apprehended and arrested a Brazilian national living in the
elite enclave, because he was a "predator" whose presence was "threaten[ing] to residents."
You don't say. [...] A hardened criminal exploiting an open border and the U.S. welfare
system? Impossible! Karine Jean-Pierre has repeatedly assured us that the border is
totally secure, and any "undocumented" persons who do happen to slip through are not a
detriment — any insistence otherwise is xenophobic. But wait, why does the
Martha's Vineyard aristocracy get zero-tolerance agents who protect their communities?
Lessons
From Britain's National Extinction — Its Deep State Is As Bad As Ours. We
Americans can learn something from watching Britain's descent into the pit of national extinction,
which has proceeded much further than ours. Britain's present is our future,
if we don't make a serious course change. Britain, like the USA, has a wide-open southern
border. It's called the English Channel. Pay a sum of money to some coyote in France
or Belgium and he'll put you in a boat and ship you north across the channel. On arrival
you'll be perfunctorily checked in, then awarded three hots and a cot in a pleasant hotel,
courtesy of British taxpayers, with lifetime settlement rights and welfare benefits. See,
it's just like our system; only that the invaders swarming into the USA have to cross a few miles
of desert, while over there it's a few miles of sea. [...] Britain, like us, has a two-party
political system in which the two parties have essentially no difference of opinion on anything
relating to the continuity and preservation of nationhood.
Senate
'Gang of Six' Negotiates Republican Giveaway on Migration. Roughly 30 Republican
senators are backing the House's H.R. 2 migration stabilization bill — but a gang of six
senators, including three Republicans, are drafting a giveaway "compromise" bill. "H.R. 2
should be the focus," said a policy analyst who favors pro-American migration laws, adding:
["]There's no reason to preemptively surrender good border security legislation before we're
forced to negotiate [with the House]. What the Senators who are supporting that [compromise]
package are doing essentially is preemptively surrendering, preemptively giving away very important
pieces of H.R. 2 before they're even being forced to do so.["] "They're negotiating
with themselves" instead of with Democrats, he added. Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Thom
Tillis (R-NC), and James Lankford (R-OK), are working with three Democrats to write a pretend compromise
in the end-of-year budget battles over funding for Israel, Ukraine, and President Joe Biden's border
security agency, he said, adding that their plan is "not going do anything of any substance."
Biden's
illegal invasion is an unfunded mandate killing US cities and he's planning to expand it.
Recently Joe Biden bragged about his intention to allow more massive amounts of illegals to flood the
country and it's frightening. [Tweet with video clip] Reparations for migrants?
What I never heard talked about is the fact that this is an unfunded mandate. Biden does
everything he can to keep the borders open for illegal invasion, to keep fentanyl flowing across the
border, keep money pouring into the coffers of Mexican cartels and keep human trafficking flourishing.
This has a human horrible cost. Young females are being abused on their travels to here.
Over 100,00 [sic] are dying every year from opiate overdose, most from fentanyl. Then there is
a gigantic financial cost to America. We have seen how big-mouth politicians have devolved into
mealy-mouthed politicians when their boasts of being sanctuary states and cities have their words
shoved down their throats. One is tempted to simply say "They asked for this. Their
constituents voted for this" and that's a fair assessment. Eric Adams, the mayor of New York
City, is one such idiot. He repeatedly boasted of being a sanctuary city. Now that NYC
has taken 142,000 illegals, the cost is becoming onerous. To accommodate the illegals, Adams
is punishing Americans. He plans to slash the budget by $4 billion across the board by
eviscerating the police force and education for his constituents.
Migrants
Get Free Turkeys for Thanksgiving Ahead of Low-Income New Yorkers. Low-income New
Yorkers living in public housing say newly arrived migrants have been first in line for free
turkeys ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, as public resources are strained from illegal
immigration. According to local reports and interviews, New Yorkers living in public housing
are competing against tens of thousands of newly arrived migrants to New York City when it comes to
meals this Thanksgiving. [...] According to FOX5 New York, New Yorkers living in public housing
have seen some 8,000 migrants move into their neighborhoods after having arrived at the United
States-Mexico border and being released into the nation's interior. Already, low-income New
Yorkers are dealing with strained resources. This week, city officials said they would offer
$15 gift cards to those in public housing who have been forced to go without gas to cook meals for months.
Santa
Ana, California, May Give Voting Rights to Illegal Aliens. Voters in Santa Ana,
California, a deep-blue city in Orange County, will soon decide whether or not to give local voting
rights to potentially tens of thousands of foreign nationals, including illegal aliens. Next
year, during the November 5 election, voters in Santa Ana will be asked whether or not they want to
approve giving the right to vote in municipal elections to foreign nationals, including illegal
aliens, which would then go into effect by 2028.
DHS
Chief Mayorkas Warns Agents Not to Misgender Border Crossers, but Ask Their Preferred
Pronouns. President Joe Biden's border chief is now ordering border guards not to
presume the correct sex and corresponding pronouns for illegal migrants. "We just obtained
[Customs and Border Patrol agency] documents directing personnel to only use woke language when
encountering individuals invading the United States," a tweet from the Oversight Project at the
Heritage Foundation reads. The order from border chief Alejandro Mayorkas directs border
guards to ignore the biological distinction between the two complementary sexes. Instead,
officers must submit to the political claim that each person's "gender" is more important than
their biological sex and so must allow people to sneak across the male/female border under the
disguise of "transgender" pronouns.
When
the Truth Hurts, Lie. When the truth exposes a catastrophe, it's better to avoid the
truth. This is how the leftist world works. Whether it is economic, social or military,
the government has turned it's back on the truth. The truth of the invasion through the
southern border is not being told. None of it, not the physical aspect, not the financial
aspect, the national security aspect, the logistical aspect and not the demographic aspect.
You can find the information, that's how we know that only the lies are being told to the
nation. It's bad. Yes, it's bad, but it's also a violation of national security and
anyone associated with it from Mayorkas all the way down to the junior border patrol agent is
guilty of treason. Nothing less and I know that bothers some good people, but this surpasses
those feelings. The damage being done to this country, to the people in it and the burden it
places on the economy, the taxes lost, the private economic assets of these hotels in which so many
are being warehoused shifting from private enterprise to government liabilities is unforgiveable.
House
Report: Illegals to Cost America Nearly Half a Trillion Dollars. American
taxpayers may foot a $451 billion bill for known "gotaways" — those who have evaded U.S.
border security when entering the country — and illegal migrants released into the
United States under the leadership of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas, according to a report by the GOP-led House Homeland Security Committee. The 50-page
report claims millions of dollars are spent each day on costs directly associated with the
"unprecedented crisis" caused by Mayorkas at the southern border. The range of costs includes
"everything from emergency medical care to increased demands on law enforcement to housing and
shelter benefits for illegal aliens." The document draws on figures from the Center for
Immigration Studies, which calculated the cost of the country's immigration policies under
Mayorkas, finding it may be as high as almost half a trillion dollars.
Huge
stampede of migrants crosses into US through Tijuana River. Video footage reveals the
shocking moment a huge stampede of migrants cross into the US through the Tijuana River, with one
man found dead shortly afterward. A 36-year-old West African man who was part of the crowd
died along the Tijuana River channel early Wednesday morning. Mexico's National Institute of
Migration shared the video showing dozens of migrants running into the country, knee-deep in the water.
House
Kills Mayorkas Impeachment Resolution While Preparing to Punt Border Fight to 2024.
The House voted 209-201 Monday night to sideline a resolution introduced by Rep. Marjorie
Taylor Greene (R-GA) to impeach Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for
his disastrous mishandling of the border, even as House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) greases the
skids on a funding package that punts a broader border policy battle until the new year.
Greene introduced the privileged resolution Friday, one day after two of her constituents were
killed in Texas in a head-on collision with a car driven by a human smuggler evading police.
Privileged resolutions require House floor action within two legislative days after
introduction. Rather than voting on the underlying motion, Republican leadership chose to
address the resolution through a Democratic motion to refer it to the Homeland Security
Committee. Democrats altered their motion before the vote after previously preferring a vote
simply to table the resolution.
Biden's
migrant crisis will cost taxpayers $451 billion a year. Taxpayers have to front
nearly half a trillion dollars each year because the Biden administration is not stopping migrants
at the southern border, Republicans said in a report on Monday. The cost of providing
education, healthcare, law enforcement and other expenditure resulting from millions of extra
migrants adds up to as much as $451 billion a year, says the House study. The 49-page
report comes as House Republicans push to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
for allegedly failing to constrain the record numbers of migrants arriving at the US-Mexico border.
Failed
Democrat Cities are Convincing Migrants to Go Back Home. Democrat policies may have
attracted millions to America with their open borders, but once those migrants get a taste of life
under the American version of socialist banana republics, they're turning around and going home.
[...] I think Chicago just solved the problem of illegal migration. All the next
administration has to do is tell the migrants that they are welcome here as long as they stay in
Chicago. Or New York City.
Furious
migrants refuse to stay in tent shelter after being bused to Brooklyn. Furious
migrants are refusing to stay in tent shelters set up for them in New York City, at great expense
to the taxpayer, as they prefer their plush hotels in Manhattan. A group of asylum seekers
were seen being bused to Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn on Sunday. The site, part of a
national park located in southeast of the New York City borough, is expected to hold 2,000
people. But they were immediately loaded on a bus back to Manhattan as they complained that
they had jobs back in the city, and their kids had schools to attend.
First
migrants arrive at NYC's Floyd Bennett Field — only to scoff and leave isolated site
after just one look-around. The first batch of migrants was bused to Floyd Bennett
Field's makeshift tent city in Brooklyn on Sunday — and wanted no part of it.
Dozens of migrant families arrived at the controversial remote housing site courtesy of the Adams
administration shortly after 12:30 p.m., looked around and promptly hopped back on the bus to try
to return to their previous shelters. "We weren't told where we were going," one of the bused
migrant dads griped to The [New York] Post. "I work in The Bronx. My kids go to school in
The Bronx. For us to live out here is ridiculous. "We're going back," he fumed.
Chicago
is so unpleasant migrants are fleeing back to Venezuela after being dumped in shelters and refused
jobs. Chicago has become so unpleasant that migrants are fleeing back to Venezuela
after being dumped in shelters and refused better paying jobs. Since August last year, 20,700
migrants have arrived in Chicago from Texas. The Lone Star State's Governor Greg Abbott sent
migrants to Chicago and other Democrat-run cities because of their proud status as 'sanctuary
cities.' They offer enhanced protection against detention or deportation for undocumented
migrants. Now, Illinois' harsh winters, lack of migrant infrastructure, and ambivalent
support from locals has made many people, who undertook the harsh US-Mexico border journey,
actually turn around and go back home.
Senate
Hearing Shows — Again — Why Mayorkas Should Be Impeached. At a
recent Senate hearing on threats to the homeland, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas
once again avoided answering tough questions from concerned members of Congress. His defense
of his inability to protect our borders and prevent millions of aliens, including known terrorists,
from illegally entering the country had plenty of excuses but no good solutions. During the
Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee hearing, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.,
showed a chart of rising border "encounters" that depicted the Biden administration's failure to
prevent illegal aliens, including an unknown number of criminals and suspected terrorists, from
entering the United States at will. Johnson tried to get Mayorkas to tell the committee how
many people had been let in on his watch — not just aliens released and trusted to show
up for deportation hearings, but aliens paroled under various made-up programs, as well as the
estimated 1.7 million people who snuck in — the "gotaways."
Everywhere
Is a Border State. A white van bearing the words "OIM - ONU Migración" sped past
a row of low yellow buildings, looking out of place in the neighborhood like a roving FEMA
tent. Auden B. Cabello, a journalist documenting the border crisis, posted a video of the
sight to Twitter and asked a good question: "What is the IOM, International Organization for
Migration (UN), doing in Eagle Pass, Texas?" The IOM (or OIM in Spanish) is the chief
immigration agency of the UN. It works with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in order to
"cooperate closely with international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, concerned
with migration, refugees and human resources in order, inter alia, to facilitate the co-ordination
of international activities in these fields." Put simply, the IOM partners with NGOs to facilitate
mass immigration. Though they don't receive the scrutiny they deserve, NGOs are a critical
part of the ongoing crisis. They provide migrants with shelter, transportation, legal
assistance, and more. Their facilities act as conduits into the interior of the country,
on-ramps to highways into the heartland.
Biden
2.0: The US could double its undocumented immigrant population. President Biden
initially sought to reform our "broken" immigration system through legislative means. On his
first day in office, he sent his U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 to Congress. It would establish
numerous immigration benefits, including the largest legalization program in U.S. history,
increased opportunities for lawful immigration and humane treatment of migrants at the
border. When this didn't work, he shifted his focus to administrative actions. This
included bypassing the visa system by bringing migrants here through new legal pathways, catch and
release at the border and restricting interior enforcement. Apparently, by "broken," he means
that existing law doesn't permit enough immigrants to come here and subjects the ones here
unlawfully to the threat of deportation. This has caused serious, presumably unanticipated
consequences, such as a record-breaking increase in illegal border crossings and an immigration
court backlog crisis that can't be fixed.
The Editor says...
They are not just "undocumented." They are citizens from other countries entering the
U.S. illegally. They are illegal aliens.
Deluded
mayors demand $5 billion from taxpayers to fix a migrant crisis they welcomed to their 'sanctuary
cities'! America has lost all control. The numbers are eye-watering.
Around 600,000 'gotaways' crossed the Southern border undetected in the last fiscal year.
900,000 more, out of 2.4 million migrants encountered by guards, were willingly released into
the US. In total, that's equivalent to the population of Philadelphia. Of course, Joe Biden
and his Democrats are to blame. But now their own party's mayors are begging for billions of
taxpayer dollars to remedy a problem they asked for.
New
York City Is Literally Paying For Migrants To Leave, But Many Refuse To Go. New York
City is trying to expel migrants by offering them plane tickets to leave for other states, or
places outside of the country, but many of them don't want to leave, according to dozens of
migrants the Daily Caller News Foundation interviewed. Migrants entering the reticketing
center, which the city recently established to help migrants leave the area, told the DCNF that
they don't want to go elsewhere because they came to New York City for the resources it provides as
a sanctuary city. The reticketing center is located in the since-closed St. Brigid
School in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where migrants can get a free, one-way ticket to the
location of their choice provided by the city government.
And what if they don't? Biden
Plan Seeks to Have Millions of Illegal Aliens 'Check-In' Annually After Release into U.S..
A plan sought by President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) would see illegal aliens
released into the United States and only required to "check-in" with federal officials annually, Breitbart
News has exclusively learned. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official Claire
Trickler-McNulty gave a presentation to the House Homeland Security Committee in September regarding
details of the administration's proposed "Release and Reporting Management" (RRM) program.
The
Noncitizen Voting Scam. If you think offering migrants luxury hotel rooms, free
meals, laundry service, transportation, health care, and immigration lawyers is excessive, just
wait until they can vote. Democrats are pushing to allow noncitizens to vote in local
elections in New York City, Boston, and other municipalities, and statewide in Connecticut.
The number of migrants pouring across the southern border has hit a record high, according to data
released on Oct. 21. Illegal immigrant crossings soared 21 percent over the previous
month. On a yearly basis, the figure hit 2.48 million. Democrats may feign shock
and distress. Don't be fooled. Democrats see these newcomers as their guarantee of a
permanent voting majority in local elections. Not years from now, after the newcomers become
citizens. Right now.
Why
Democrats will not close the border. In keeping with the Biden administration's
apparent indifference to the flood of child-trafficking and opioids plaguing our country, there is
no indication that it is wavering on its lackadaisical border policy. Why is the porous
border so important to Democrats? In some respects, migrants are treated better than citizens
in similar economic straits. More to the point, how many voting migrants will it take to turn
the country irrevocably blue?
Illegal
Venezuelan Migrants Continue To Pour Into US Despite Biden Admin Beginning Deportation
Flights. Venezuelan migrants are continuing to illegally cross U.S. borders in droves
despite the Biden administration beginning deportation flights to Venezuela, according to internal
Border Patrol data obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Border Patrol
recorded 33,247 nationwide encounters of illegal migrants from Venezuela between Oct. 1, 2023 and
Nov. 2, according to the internal data. The number is higher than the encounters of
Venezuelans every single month of the last four fiscal years, except for September 2023 and
September 2022, according to federal data.
Agents
[were] pulled off trafficking cases to make sandwiches for illegals. Homeland
Security Investigations (HSI) special agents who were investigating cases involving child
trafficking and sexual exploitation have been reassigned to make sandwiches for illegal aliens, a
whistleblower told Congress. "We are being told to shut down investigations to go hand out
sandwiches and escort migrants to the shower and sit with them while they're in the hospital and
those types of tasks," the whistleblower, an HSI special agent, told the Senate Homeland Security
Committee. Missouri Republican Sen. Josh Hawley revealed the allegations during a
hearing on Tuesday, challenging Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over whether that
was a good use of highly trained agents' time.
How
Many Illegals Has Biden Admin Released Into US? Mayorkas Can't (or Won't) Say.
During a Senate committee hearing Tuesday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas couldn't answer a question about how many illegal immigrants federal authorities have
released into the U.S. interior under the Biden administration. Sen. Ron Johnson,
R-Wis., pressed Mayorkas on the issue, but the DHS secretary couldn't provide a number at Tuesday's
Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing. Illegal immigration at
the southern border of the U.S. has surged past 2 million in both fiscal year 2022, the highest
year on record, and 2023, according to federal data. [...] Border Patrol doesn't have the ability
to always collect migrants' addresses, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement doesn't always
validate the addresses before they're released into the country, the inspector general previously
found. Between March 2021 and August 2022, Border Patrol collected 981,671 migrant records,
but more than 177,000 migrant records "were either missing, invalid for delivery, or not legitimate
residential locations."
600,000
migrants have avoided capture and gotten into the U.S. this year. Homeland Security
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas revealed on Tuesday that 600,000 migrants evaded apprehension this
year alone as they illegally crossed the border into the U.S. Additionally, Mayorkas did not
have information readily available on whether the 169 terror watch list members who illegally
crossed the southern border were in jail or deported. Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) asked
President Joe Biden's DHS head during a hearing Tuesday the recorded number of illegal border
crossers who were able to evade his agents in the last year. He also asked about the status
of terror watch list individuals.
Migrant
caravan leader slams Biden for failing to realize Latin America is 'conspiring against the
US'. A leader of a 5,000-strong migrant caravan heading towards the U.S. border has
claimed that Latin American nations are 'ganging up' on the Biden administration and creating
artificial problems, in order to extract money from Washington DC. Irineo Mujica, a U.S.
citizen who describes himself as a human rights defender, told Real America's Voice he was
'shocked' that Joe Biden was being played by Mexico's president and other regional leaders, and
said the White House 'has a lot to learn'. Mujica repeatedly said Biden has 'dropped the
ball', and said he preferred Donald Trump because his policy on the border was clear.
I
don't pity the poor illegal immigrant. The Star Tribune has just posted Maya Rao's
weepy and euphemistic take on Hennepin County's close encounter of the Biden kind with the flood of
illegal immigrants that is washing up in Minneapolis from New York (thanks, Mayor Adams!) and south
of the border. [...] It isn't rude to [observe] that someone paid for that "free plane ticket," but
inquiry into who that someone might be runs beyond the scope of Rao's 1500-word story. Rao
doesn't go there. Maybe this inhibited the scope of Rao's inquiry, but I don't think so:
"The Star Tribune could not determine what happened to the family waiting outside the Bloomington
hotel — after a few minutes of conversation, two security officers walked outside and
asked journalists to leave." What agency did the security officers work for? Rao doesn't
go there. Rao only glancingly addresses the illegality of the flood. She notes that
most of the "migrants" are Ecuadorians "seeking asylum, waiting for court dates that are months or
years away." [...] How would these 18-year-olds or other Ecuadorians in the Biden flood washing up
in Hennepin County conceivably qualify for asylum? Rao doesn't go there.
Nothing is free, especially in New York City. If the government is giving away goodies, you paid for them. LOL:
NYC Now Offering Illegal Migrants Free Plane Tickets to Anywhere in World. It's
amazing what happens when a liberal is forced to put his money where his mouth is. Their
specialty is spending other people's money, not their own. And it turns out that housing even
a tiny percentage of the illegal aliens President Biden has invited into America is wildly
expensive, and Mayor Adams hasn't managed to find anybody else to hand the tab to. His
answer? A free ticket to anywhere, as long as he never sees their faces again.
New
York City Offering Illegals Free Plane Tickets to Destinations of Their Choice. As
New York City continues to be swarmed by hordes of third world illegal aliens, the administration
of Mayor Eric Adams (D-N.Y.) has turned to yet another solution: Offer them free travel to
any destination they choose. According to Politico, Adams turns to this latest move as the
shelters continue to overflow with illegals, with concerns surrounding the increased cost of
housing them and the brutality of the coming winter months for those who cannot find shelter.
The Editor says...
[#1] Why is this generous offer extended only to those who are present in New York illegally?
Why can't any law-abiding New York resident get a free ride to Florida, for example? [#2]
At this point, the mayor's offer is just an offer. When nobody wants to leave, I predict there
will be fewer carrots and more sticks.
Where
do poor Haitians or Cubans get $5,000? The entire "migrant to border" story is
complex and confusing. Let's add more to the confusion and the Haitians to Nicaragua angle:
["]Nicaragua has long been used as a migratory springboard for people fleeing struggling
nations like Cuba and Mauritania in Africa, because it is one of the few countries that doesn't
require visas for many of them to enter. [...] The Associated Press spoke to three Haitian migrants
who were aboard the charter flights, who said they doled out thousands of dollars to leave the
poorest country in the hemisphere in hopes of reaching the United States. Orozco said most
tickets range between $3,000 and $5,000 a seat.["] Again, where does a Haitian or
Cuban get money like that? I know a thing or two about the current state of Cuba. I
don't think that there are a lot of Cubans who can write a check or put that kind of money on their
credit card. So how are they paying that kind of money? Who is behind this? Is
someone advancing the money and expecting to get paid once they are in the U.S.? I don't know but
it's all very strange to me. Another question. Are these governments sending people
because they've grown accustomed to remittances? We know that Mexico gets billions annually
and that keeps a lot of Mexicans surviving from month to month.
The Editor says...
If that's the problem, the solution is simple: Apply a hefty tax to remittances leaving this
country, with U.S. citizens exempt from the tax. Then see who complains about it.
Premodern
Diversity Vs. Civilizational Unity. Few Romans in the late decades of their
5th-century AD empire celebrated their newfound "diversity" of marauding Goths, Ostrogoths,
Visigoths, Huns, and Vandals. These tribes en masse had crossed the unsecured Rhine and
Danube borders to harvest Roman bounty without a care about what had created it. Their
agendas were focused on destroying the civilization they overran rather than peacefully integrating
into and perpetuating the Empire. [...] We are beginning to see just that in America, as it sheds
the melting pot, and adopts the salad bowl of unassimilated and warring tribes. The U.S. is
now seeing a rise in violent racially and religiously motivated hate crimes. The border is
nonexistent. Millions of unlawful immigrants mock their hosts by their brazen illegal
entrance. They will receive little civic education to become Americans. But they will
learn that unassimilated tribalism wins them influence and advantages.
You can vote all you want, but the elite will make all the decisions. Poll
Shows Rising Worldwide Opposition to Mass Migration. Opposition to mass migration is
rising even faster in Chile, Sweden, and Germany than in the United States, according to a large
international survey by USNews.com released Thursday. Voters "from Denmark to Sweden to the
United States — are cooling on support for immigration amid a global migration crisis,"
says the report on the survey of 17,000 people across 36 countries. "There's somewhat of a
negative consensus among receiving countries ... that immigration laws need to be hardened,"
admitted Cristián Doña-Reveco, an associate professor at the University of Nebraska Omaha.
The
GOP and moderate Dems should be paying attention to Chicago's anti-migrant protests.
If Republicans — or even those few moderate Democrats — want to advance their
political career, a good place to start is Chicago's Southwest Side. There have a been a
series of protests in the mostly Hispanic Brighton Park neighborhood, which has a sizable Asian
minority, over the migrant crisis created by Joe Biden and the Democrat Party. Residents
found out through the rumor mill that the administration Mayor Brandon Johnson, Chicago's far-left
mayor who was elected six months ago, has his haughty eyes on Brighton Park. And rumors are
true sometimes, and they were confirmed when residents noticed bulldozing on property that has been
vacant for a while. Chicago's 12th Ward, which has slightly less than 60,000 residents, will
have a population bump soon. However, many of them will be living in tents, although a
contractor is calling them "yurts."
Secretary
of State Antony Blinken: Americans Must Accept Migrants. President Joe Biden's
foreign policy chief, Antony Blinken, says Americans must give foreigners the opportunity to
migrate into their U.S. homeland. "You have to give them an opportunity to do that," Secretary
of State Antony Blinken said at an event at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy in
Texas. Blinken did not urge his government peers to enforce the immigration laws that protect
Americans from employers who hire illegal immigrants that undercut Americans' bargaining power in
the labor market. He also did not mention the many polls showing the growing public
opposition to Biden's mass illegal migration.
Biden's
2023 Flood: One Migrant for Every American Newborn. President Joe Biden's
deputies welcomed at least one economic migrant into the United States during the last 12 months
for every American newborn or high-school graduate. More than 4 million economic migrants
crossed the southern border during the government's October-to-September budget year, according to
federal data released October 21. In contrast, 3.67 million Americans were born during the
matching 12-month period in 2022, according to the Census Bureau. That 2022 number includes
at least 400,000 births to illegal migrants.
Illegal
aliens are rational investors. Migrants coming to the USA right now have to make a
significant investment. There is a monetary investment in the form of payment given to the
Mexican drug cartels to shepherd them to and across the border. Many migrants take flights
from their home countries to Central or South America and then trek north. Flights costs
money, which increases their investment after payments to the cartels. Often this also
involves future payments earned as the result of working in this country, legally or not.
These payments may be monetary or in the form of indentured labor. [...] So why do it? The
reason is that there is a net positive ROI. Once in the USA, they are provided with free housing,
food, clothing, and cell phones. On top of that, they receive some cash payments from state
and local governments as well as publicly funded non-governmental organizations (NGOs). They work
illegally ASAP, so they get cash that is used to repay any cartel debt and also some to remit
home. They are eligible for free health care. Their children receive a free education
at all levels — including college and graduate school. There are actually
state-funded programs that assist illegals in achieving homeownership.
Hidden
Marxism: Treating Immigrants Like Robots. On the other are small-i
immigrationists, people who believe immigration is generally good, generally necessary, should
never be questioned in principle, and must in some form be the one constant in an otherwise
ever-changing universe of policy. They're usually identified as "conservatives." The
debate between the two sides often goes like this: leftists welcome inundation with even
uneducated, unskilled foreigners (as long as the aliens aren't sent to their neighborhood; see
Martha's Vineyard, et al.) with the argument "our strength lies in our diversity!" Conservatives
counter this by reassuring all and sundry that "I'm all for immigration!" "But," they add, "it
should be done legally and be merit-based, with possession of economically valuable skills a
prerequisite for entry." The problem with this is that it's the battling of a nonsensical
argument with a one-dimensional argument. After all, there's a name for entities defined
merely by the job-related role they can perform: robots.
Illegal
Immigration's Terrifying Cost. When Florida governor Ron DeSantis tapped local funds
late last year to start flying undocumented immigrants out of his state and into blue states,
Democrats blasted him for trying to score "political points" with taxpayer money. DeSantis
countered that the $12 million fund that financed the flights represented only a tiny portion of
the money that Florida was spending on asylum seekers, after the federal government briefly detains
them at the border, releases them, and they wind up in the Sunshine State. Florida hospitals
alone had racked up hundreds of millions of dollars in costs for uncompensated care to migrants,
DeSantis noted — and the state had to subsidize those services. And it was largely
progressive-led municipalities declaring themselves immigrant "sanctuaries" that helped attract
record recent numbers of asylum seekers and illegal immigrants, DeSantis argued, so it was only
fair that those cities and states pay for sheltering them. "If the policy is to have an open
border, I think the sanctuary cities should be the ones that have to bear that," said DeSantis.
We're running out of Mexicans! Venezuelans
top Mexicans in US illegal border crossings for 1st time on record in September.
Venezuelans topped Mexicans for the largest group of nationals arrested for illegally crossing the
U.S. southern border for the first time on record in the month of September. According to
its latest monthly report released Saturday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection recorded 218,763
encounters of people from all nationalities between ports of entry along the southwest border in
September 2023, representing a 21% increase from the 181,084 illegal immigrants caught in
August. Venezuelans were arrested 54,833 times by the Border Patrol after entering from
Mexico in September, more than double from 22,090 arrests in August and well above the previous
monthly high of 33,749 arrests in September 2022. For decades, Mexicans accounted for the vast
majority of illegal crossings but flows shifted over the last decade to Central Americans and, more
recently, to people from South America, Africa and Asia.
Absolutely not. But if he wants billions to fly them all to Argnetina or New Guinea, I'm all for it. Joe
Biden Demands Billions to Fly, Bus More Migrants into U.S. Communities. President Joe
Biden's deputies are asking Congress for $14 billion extra to help bus illegal migrants up to the
U.S. border and onward into hotels in many cities and towns around the nation. The request is
being touted as "border security" even though very few funds would be used to exclude economic migrants.
For example, Biden's deputies have ushered more than 300,000 economic migrants through the U.S. border in
September alone. The 2023 inflow has added up to roughly 2.5 million, not counting legal
migrants and temporary workers.
Relieved
Residents of Texas Illegal Immigrant Town Love Gov. Abbott's New State Police
Surge. Something new besides explosive growth is happening in this Texas enclave of
some 50,000-75,000, perhaps the largest illegal immigrant settlement in America hundreds of miles
inland from the completely overrun southern border: Policing. On October 5,
Gov. Greg Abbott ordered a significant surge of Texas Department of Public Safety troopers and
criminal investigators to fan out over the 60-square-mile unincorporated Colony Ridge 40 miles
northeast of Houston for the first significant policing in the colony's 10 years of nonstop
growth. The verdict after two weeks of saturation state police patrols years after population
far-outstripped Liberty County Sheriff Office staffing: They love it, a number of people told
me during a Saturday night ride-along with Texas Highway Patrol officers. "We feel safer, with
less wild people," said Carolina, an entrepreneur selling roasted corn concoctions in a gas station
parking lot.
They live at the police station. Migrants
with $2,700 worth of pot shoplifted a karaoke machine, police report says. Two
Venezuelan migrants living at the South Chicago (4th) District police station are facing
misdemeanor charges after allegedly trying to shoplift a $130 karaoke machine while one was
carrying more than a half-pound of pot. Victor Franco-Espinosa, 28, and Georleannys
Garcia-Renhifo, 29, were arrested at Walmart, 10900 South Doty, last Tuesday evening. A
Walmart security guard showed cops a video that showed Franco-Espinosa stuffing a karaoke machine
into a bag and walking out the door, according to a CPD arrest report. Garcia-Renhifo had 15
additional items in a bag, along with 248 grams of marijuana worth $2,700, the report said.
That's a little less than 9 ounces of weed. They were both released from custody with
instructions to show up in court.
Chicago
is giving $9,000 to migrants to cover their rent and help furnish their apartments.
Chicago is giving $9,000 in rental assistance to migrants in need of temporary housing, after it
paid a medical firm a staggering $7.2 million for staffing shelters for just one week, according to
official records. The Windy City is struggling with over 11,000 migrants in shelters and
4,000 staying in police stations and the O'Hare International Airport after more than 18,000 have
arrived in the city in one year. To free much-needed room in shelters, the state of Illinois
is helping cover costs for temporary housing for migrants, including $9,000 in rental assistance
over a six-month period, Chicago's deputy chief of staff Cristina Pacione-Zayas told Fox32. The
funds include assistance with moving costs and a starter kit to furnish apartments.
A
remarkable awakening has unfolded in this country, and we have those busloads of illegals to thank
for it. There was a time, not so long ago, when supporting President Trump's border
wall could get you labeled a "racist." While some die-hard progressive ninnies might still
throw that term around, the tide is definitely turning. Much of this awakening can be
credited to red state governors like Abbott and DeSantis, who sent busloads of illegals to blue
"sanctuary cities" across the nation. This eye-opening move made the border crisis all too
real for liberals. Suddenly, they got a firsthand look at just how destructive an
uncontrolled bumrush at our border can be, revealing how quickly it can destabilize even a city as
large and robust as New York.
Close the Border.
The American people, at least the reader, has to start getting tough. Those in the government
are not your enemies, because they don't even give you the respect of being a human being. [...]
Everyone is more important than the U.S. citizen. They will mobilize every resource they have
to cater to the problems of other people, Palestinians, Israelis, Ukrainians and Chinese, but
you? Not a dime. Even during the pandemic, a few hundred dollars were sent to the
people who had their whole lives disrupted, their businesses shut down, their jobs disappeared and
all they could do is toss a couple of hundred dollars at the problems they caused. They give
more money to every single illegal per month than they gave to the American people (in total)
during the pandemic. Now, they're building shelters and whole communities for them. At
the same time, they offered $700 to those on Maui.
DOJ
Warns Financial Institutions That They Can't Reject Illegal Immigrants' Credit
Applications. The Department of Justice (DOJ) put financial institutions on notice
for rejecting illegal immigrants' credit applications. The DOJ issued the warning in a joint
statement with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) on Thursday. The DOJ and CFPB
said in a press release that illegal immigrants had filed complaints about credit application
rejections. "The Justice Department and CFPB are issuing this statement because consumers have
reported being rejected for credit cards as well as for auto, student, personal and equipment loans
because of their immigration status, even when they have strong credit histories and ties to the
United States and are otherwise qualified to receive the loans," stated the agencies. The two
agencies claimed that the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) protections for national origin and
race extended to alienage, though they admitted that no such explicit provisions spelled out their
interpretation. The agencies conceded that creditors could rely on immigration status to
determine repayment ability, but then cautioned against "unnecessary or overbroad reliance" on
immigration status.
Haitian
migrant speaks out; says UN paid him to illegally invade our border. The disaster at
the U.S.-Mexico border is both complex and remarkably simple to understand. Democrats have
enticed a mob of foreign illegals, lured by promises of free housing, healthcare, and
welfare. These illegals are now inundating the border, looking for assistance and
opportunities to earn money to send back home. Who can forget that moment on the 2020 DNC
debate stage when all candidates raised their hands, pledging to provide free healthcare to
undocumented individuals? [Video clip] For Democrats, it's an easy trade-off: they
create a new voting demographic of non-Americans willing to support their policies to maintain
their agenda and power, even if that means destroying the country.
GOP
Report: Biden Welcomed 4 Million Illegal Migrants Within 26 Months. President
Joe Biden's deputies allowed roughly four million illegal migrants into American communities during
their first 26 months in office, according to a congressional report by Republican
legislators. Officials "released at least 2,148,738 illegal aliens into the United States,"
from January 2021 to March 2023, says a statement by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan
(R-OH) and Immigration Subcommittee Chairman Tom McClintock (R-CA).
Joe
Is Asleep, America. You're on Your Own. Hamas's attack on Israel should be a
wake-up call for Sleepy Joe's America. Joe Biden, a man whose entire government apparatus has
turned domestic political protesters into terrorists but who finances and arms real foreign
terrorists, isn't on your side. A president who applauds releasing criminals early from jails
and prisons in America — if they're even arrested in the first place — isn't
on your side. If he then leaves America's back door open to let in millions of strangers
freed from the world's prisons so they can pour into your neighborhood, then he's really not
on your side. A leader who does all of this and tries to keep you from defending
yourself — well, you know whose side he's on. Not yours.
Dianne
Feinstein's forgotten immigration legacy. The late senator was once a strong,
articulate opponent of illegal immigration. [...] In 2006, Feinstein voted to construct 700 miles
of additional border fencing. The following year, she authored legislation that Congress
passed into law which prohibited funding or constructing tunnels or passageways to help illegal
aliens enter the U.S. Feinstein's opposition to illegal immigration also made her a target for the
far left. During her last re-election in 2018, Feinstein was accused by a progressive
challenger of inflicting "horror" against aspiring migrants at the border. It's worth noting
that Feinstein was nobody's idea of an immigration hawk. She consistently advocated for high
levels of legal immigration, and in her later years, moved left with her party to advocate amnesty
for many aliens here illegally. Still, in the prime of her political career, Feinstein was an
effective advocate for upholding the rule of law at the border.
House
Republicans Release Report Showing Shockingly Few Deportations Under Biden. A new
report from Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee found that over 99% of illegal immigrants
released into the U.S. from January 2021 to March 2023 under President Joe Biden ended up staying
in the U.S. The report, from the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity,
Security, and Enforcement, details how little deportations have taken place under Biden and says
that few of those released into the U.S. were actually screened for persecution claims. The
report said the total number of illegal immigrants released into the U.S. during the time in
question was 2,148,738 and that over 204,000 were released through "illegal categorical parole
programs." "Thanks to relentless efforts by the Committee and its Immigration Subcommittee,
Biden's DHS has finally caved and provided crucial data on the border crisis," the House Judiciary
Committee posted on X.
That's probably where most of them came from. Top
Democrats: Bus Surplus Migrants to Red States. Democrats are trying to divert
their flood of wage-cutting, rent-spiking migrants toward GOP states and cities as their blue state
voters rebel against the Democrats' poverty policies. "What we need is [President Joe
Biden's] help deciding where these folks are to go because they can't all go to Chicago and New
York, and D.C. — They need to go in places where there's even more help to offer,"
Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker told CBS' Face the Nation on October 8.
Unaccompanied
migrant kids seen selling candy in NYC subways: 'Shameful, disgusting, blatant child
abuse'. Unaccompanied migrant children are navigating the bowels of the city's subway
system and trains to peddle candies to strangers. On Wednesday, an 11-year-old migrant girl
exited an uptown B train at the 59th Street-Columbus Circle station all on her own, carrying a
cardboard box filled with peanut M&M's, Skittles, and Kinder Buenos for sale. "My mother is
on the other side," the child told The [New York] Post in Spanish, before running off solo to tug
at riders' jackets and pant legs and offer treats for $2 a pop. The mom, who had been selling
goodies on the downtown platform, did not say where she and her daughter were from or staying and
declined to speak further. Last week, a young girl in a purple jacket was spotted toting a
box full of candy while traveling alone between subway cars aboard a C train, according to footage
shared on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The Brink of
Lexington. [Scroll down] The other existential aspect of the current
situation that will lead, and I would suggest purposely, to the demise of the United States, at
least as a political framework for the governance of America, is the unending, out-of-control flood
of illegals at the border. Among them are military-age men and some of them are foreign
troops. There are thousands and thousands of Chinese who have come in through the southern
and northern borders. There are people who claim to be paid by the United Nations who have
entered the United States through the same route, because they don't have to provide identification
and they don't have to be truthful about where they will be living or what they intend to do
here. The child sex trafficking and human trafficking along with massive amounts of deadly
fentanyl are side hustles of the Mexican cartels, but the greater threat and the greater treason is
in allowing these foreign fighting men to enter and disappear to wait for instructions on what to
sabotage, or what to bomb. Theoretically, they have access to arms and explosives shipped
into our ports and accessible when the signal is given.
The
surprising answer to the 78-old-vet's question about welfare for illegals. A
78-year-old veteran asked a question that went viral: Why are illegal aliens getting more
benefits than he does? While his facts were shaky, his premise is valid: Illegal aliens
suck up tax money. The answer lies in how leftists on the Supreme Court interpreted the 14th
Amendment. Paul is a Vietnam veteran, former correctional officer, and truck driver who is
100% disabled and living primarily on his Social Security disability and Medicare. He's
noticed that illegal aliens who sneaked into a country to which they contributed nothing are
suddenly getting lots of taxpayer benefits: [Tweet]
And
now Biden is resuming deportation flights. Joe Biden's abrupt conversion to becoming
one of the MAGA devils he claims to despise is accelerating. On the heels of determining that
he has an "immediate need" to finish building Trump's border wall, the White House announced last
night that deportation flights of illegal Venezuelan migrants would resume imminently. We
might be tempted to argue that these flights should be packed with illegal aliens from any country,
but I suppose we should be grateful and take whatever we can get out of this crew. But the
specific choice to deport only Venezuelans is particularly curious since it's coming from the same
administration that told us only two weeks ago that migrants from that country would be receiving
special protected status and work permits because the conditions in their home country "prevent
them from returning in safety." The overnight security improvement in Venezuela has to be one of
the most underreported stories in the world aside from Hunter Biden's tax fraud charges.
The
Party's Over. The evidence for Biden's corruption and betrayal of America mounts by
the day. We cannot wait for the situation to ripen further. Too many of our
institutions supporting justice and the rule of law have already been compromised by criminal
behavior and subornation from the highest levels. Every day that action to bring justice is
delayed, creates more despair and consternation amongst the American people. They must not be
allowed to lapse into apathy and cynicism. A clear and powerful case for Impeachment must be
mounted immediately. [...] President Biden and Vice President Harris have violated their oaths of
office. At the simplest level, they are governed by Article 2, Section 3 which reads in
part: "(they) shall take care that the Laws be faithfully executed." [...] Our bill of particulars for
Impeachment can have many clauses, but there is no need to go any further than the President's
clear refusal to enforce existing immigration laws for more than two years, and to invite and allow
a literal invasion on our southern border.
[The]
White House [is] In Full Panic Mode Over [the] Border Crisis. It was shocking enough
when I read that the White House was engaged in a "stark reversal of its previous stance on the
physical barrier," as the New York Post put it with uncharacteristic dryness. It was even
more shocking to read that the Department of Homeland Security would begin construction in Starr
County, Texas, an area DHS admitted has "high illegal entry." You could have knocked me over with a
feather when they used the word "illegal." But it gets better. Homeland Security
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas even admitted there is "an acute and immediate need to construct
physical barriers." He couldn't bring himself to say "wall," but everyone knows that's exactly
what he meant. The White House has finally admitted there's a problem. They're starting
to build a wall. But here's the real kicker: DHS will "bypass long drawn-out
environmental reviews in order to expedite border wall construction."
Cornell
Law Prof: Biden's Abandonment of Southern Border an 'Impeachable Offense'. On
the "Counterculture" podcast, Cornell University Professor William A. Jacobsen said that President
Biden's abandonment of the southern border is "an impeachable offense." "In this first term
of his, hopefully his only term, we're going to probably have 10 to 15 million people illegally
cross the Southern border from around the world," Jacobsen told Counterculture host Dan Proft. "I
mean, the word has gone out, and I was just reading a story about a pipeline of people from I think
it was Mauritania who have figured out how to get across our southern border. "We have
completely abandoned a core principle of sovereignty in this country, a core principle of our
immigration laws, which is that we determine who comes into the country," said Jacobsen. "And Joe
Biden has completely abandoned that, and I think that's an impeachable offense right there."
Immigrants
parade across El Paso border in chaotic scene. Immigrants frustrated after waiting on
the southern side of the United States border wall staged a mass crossing late Tuesday, captured in
a video that has since gone viral. Several hundred immigrants stormed past Mexican
authorities, chanting and cheering in a chaotic scene as they paraded toward the border, intent on
crossing and being admitted through locked gates in the wall. Mexican officials did nothing
to stop the caravan. One officer smoked as he watched the group walk past him and others
watched the group march by.
Chicago
braces for buses carrying up to 1,250 migrants daily: 'An untenable situation'. Fifty
coaches carrying migrants have arrived in Chicago over the last week and authorities are bracing
for up to 25 buses with around 1,250 people aboard to start arriving daily. The deluge has
caused huge problems and prompted backlash from residents in the city, which long ago ran out of
shelter space and has been allowing asylum seekers to sleep in O'Hare Airport and police stations
across the city. In a scathing letter to President Biden Monday, Illinois' Democrat Governor,
J.B. Pritzker accused the feds of failing to provide adequate aid to the city — a
sentiment echoed by numerous other American mayors as the crisis unfolds.
DOJ
fines Georgia Tech $500,000 for advertising jobs only to U.S. citizens. Georgia
Institute of Technology must pay half a million dollars in civil penalties for running a job
recruitment platform that included postings that excluded non-citizens. The settlement came
after a "lawful permanent resident" student filed a complaint with the DOJ's Civil Rights
Division. "The student alleged that a bank advertised a U.S. citizen-only internship on
Georgia Tech's career services website," the department stated in its news release. "Upon
investigating the student's complaint, the department uncovered additional unlawful discriminatory
advertisements on Georgia Tech's job recruiting platform that discouraged or restricted certain
non-U.S. citizen students from applying," the Justice Department stated.
Kevin
McCarthy and the Political Culture. In the pathological storytelling of our
intellectual culture, illegal immigration is simply a timeless story of oppressed innocent people
seeking refuge in the worst country in the world: America. Mysteriously, more than five
million people have chosen to enter the most racist, sexist, and discriminatory society ever known
in human history. More profoundly, this immigration is only a benign trek for refuge.
There is no vast army of international corruption in the form of cartels delivering human beings at
an average cost of $15,000 per person into the United States. There is no vast regimen of
violence against children that includes sex trafficking. There is no concert of villainy
stretching from the labs of China to narco drug lords in Mexico delivering deadly fentanyl in the
open border at Texas and Mexico. The United States federal government has an immigration
policy at the Texas border that acts to deliberately destroy and thwart all domestic efforts to
constrain the human slave trade at the border. Federal officials are cutting fences and
welding gates open in order to prevent any limits on the human slave trade at the Texas Mexico
border. Of course the American public — including growing numbers of sanctuary
city residents — recognize that the United States federal government that covets the
borders of Ukraine and Russia, despises the existence of a border between Mexico and Texas.
Our
Establishment's Alternate Realities. One common denominator that explains why
previously successful societies implode is their descent into fantasies. A collective denial
prevents even discussion of existential threats and their solutions. Something like that is
happening in the United States. Eight million illegal immigrants have entered the United
States by the deliberate erasure of the southern border. Apparently, the Biden administration
sees some unstated advantage in destroying U.S. immigration law and welcoming in would-be new
constituents. Yet, the more the millions arrive, the more Joe Biden and his Homeland Security
director Alejandro Mayorkas flat out lie that "the border is secure." They both live in a
world of make-believe, passed off to the American people as reality. And the more the
Americans are lied to that the border is secure, the more they poll — currently
77 percent — that it is not.
Hawley
Issues Workaround to Biden Policy: Let States Deport Illegal Aliens. To get
around President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) lax enforcement of federal
immigration law, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has issued a plan that would authorize states to
deport illegal aliens and help build barriers along the United States-Mexico border. On
Wednesday, Hawley announced the "State Border Defense Act" which would, among other things, allow
individual states to deport illegal aliens that local law enforcement encounters. "Our southern
border is overrun. Joe Biden's dangerous open-border policies are making it worse every
single day, leaving states like Missouri to deal with the consequences," Hawley said in a statement.
The Editor says...
I have a better idea: If they are known to be violent criminals, deport them to the most
distant corners of Argentina or Chile, without telling them where they are. Otherwise,
if they are not vioent but likely to try again, just drop them off in Yucatán.
The
Democrats' Plot to Turn Texas Blue. [Scroll down] Today, thoroughly
corrupt Democrat party leadership facilitate Central and South American drug cartels' goals while
non-governmental organizations, funded by the likes of George Soros, bankroll the movement of
noncombatants into America for other purposes. It is a rare reporter who can get the rest of
the story on the nightly news of what is happening on the border. Not only are U.S.
immigration laws being ignored, but the U.S. border is being purposely unsecured. Unlike the
border activity in 1995-2000, where the drug cartels moved their drugs virtually unfettered into
Texas in a small window of opportunity, today's cartels have no real threat to their
operation. But for some, the most important activity occurring on the border is that the
preponderance of illegal crossers are military-age men. The Democrat party and their friends
are facilitating an invasion of potential combatants into Texas. Is this movement of
military-age men into America happening all across the southern border? You will not get a
legitimate answer from any of the news outlets for a number of reasons. Whenever one gets too
close to the truth, the media town criers shout from their network offices: conspiracy theories.
Illegal
Alien Invasion from Sea to Shining Sea! What do Massachusetts and Tennessee have in
common? These two unique states each have a current population of 7 million people.
Then there's Arizona, which is slightly larger, with 7.3 million, while Ohio is just a bit smaller,
with 6.8 million population. [...] Americans of all political factions are angry that
seven-million-plus illegal aliens have strolled into our country since Joey took
office. Who knows how many more will be here before the year is over... in fact before you
finish reading this column? They are eager to enjoy Marxist Democrat hospitality: free
lodging, free medical, free food, free education, free iPhones, free... free... free. In some
states, the welcome also includes driver's licenses, voting privileges, and work permits.
New
York Governor Kathy Hochul Announces 18,000 Jobs Available to Asylum Seekers. Despite
having a few fleeting moments as an immigration hawk while her state is overrun with illegals, New
York Governor Kathy Hochul has once again showed her pattern of putting illegals ahead of American
citizens. [Tweet] Last month, in an appearance on CNN, Hochul told migrants to go "somewhere
else" besides New York, "They're literally from around the world. West Africa, South and
Central America — they're coming from all over. But we have to let the word out
that when you come to New York, we're not going to have more hotel rooms. We don't have
capacity. So we have to also message properly that we're at our limit. If you're going
to leave your country, go somewhere else." But now the Governor is proudly announcing that
the New York State Department of Labor is working with nearly 400 employers across the state to
identify opportunities to help asylum seekers and migrants, who have obtained work authorizations,
find employment.
So
who else is making money from the big migrant surge? The border is more out of
control than ever. The Border Patrol is reporting a record 260,000 migrant illegal crossings
into the U.S. in September. There's also unknown tens of thousands being flown or bused in
through Joe Biden's CBPOne app "parole" program. And of course, there are tens of thousands
of uncounted "gotaways." All told, more than two million unvetted migrants have been allowed
into the country based on Joe Biden's open borders. Why so many? Why all at once?
It's worth asking because these numbers expected to get even bigger. Follow the money.
And now several stories are emerging to show that it's not just Mexican cartels which are making
money off these illegal migrant crossings — there's a whole chain of characters who have
been finding in the unguarded border a huge cash cow. [...] America First Legal found out that
Biden cronies are raking in the bucks for migrant services, turning up at migrant-oriented NGOs
just as cash is flowing through no-bid contracts.
The
City of El Paso is bussing illegal aliens to New York, Chicago and Denver. The City
of El Paso is coordinating with the Texas Department of Emergency Management as it buses migrants
out of El Paso. The city is overrun with illegal aliens, as it has been during the Biden
border crisis. Enrique Duenas Aguilar, a spokesperson for the El Paso Office of Emergency
Management and El Paso Fire Department, said the city is in communication with the cities to let
them know how many illegal aliens are coming and when the buses are expected to arrive.
Gov.
Hochul cowardly backpedals on criticizing Joe Biden's border. Sunday,
Gov. Hochul delivered a spot-on explanation for New York's current dilemma — for
how it came to be stuffed full of penniless border-hoppers. The problem, she said, is the
border itself: As in, "It's too open right now." Which it obviously is. The
consequences — societal, fiscal and cultural — also are obvious, and becoming
more so. But Hochul's candor — aimed squarely at Washington, and at Joe Biden in
particular — clearly has had consequences too.
Illinois
Governor JB Pritzker calls on Biden to direct migrants AWAY from his state. Illinois
Governor JB Pritzker has become the latest Democrat to beg President Joe Biden to divert migrants
away from his state. It comes just two years after declaring his state the 'Most Welcoming
State in the Nation' and expanding immigrant protections. Pritzker joins New York City Mayor
Eric Adams and New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy among liberals who have professed pro-migrant
policies but asked that they not be housed in their jurisdiction.
Biden
Admin Moves 2K Migrants from Packed Border Facility to Release Elsewhere in Texas.
The Biden administration is in the process of moving 2,000 migrants from an overcrowded Border
Patrol processing facility in Eagle Pass, Texas, according to a CBP source. The mass transfer
of detainees began early Monday and is aimed to alleviate the strain on Border Patrol facilities
and a non-government shelter overwhelmed by the influx of more than 1,000 migrants into Eagle Pass
daily. As reported by Breitbart Texas, the sudden surge of migrants began two weeks prior as
more than 1,500 migrants crossed the Rio Grande within six hours. The migrants traveled to
the border area from southern and central Mexico by freight train. Within days, single groups
of mostly Venezuelan migrants numbering more nearly 3,000 strong arrived almost daily in the same manner.
Did
Biden Just Admit That the Border Crisis Is Purposely Manufactured to Bring in New Democrat
Voters? The numbers tell the story, and they are pretty grim. For the month of
September, roughly 200,000 illegal immigrants crossed the U.S. southern border and were
processed. For fiscal year 2023, which ended Saturday, 2.2 million immigrants entered the
country. The only other year in American history in which the number of crossings has
surpassed 2 million was in fiscal year 2022. While there is much speculation about the reasons
behind the mass migration of illegal immigrants, in a recent interview with left-wing website
ProPublica, President Joe Biden may have let the cat out of the bag on the true reason for
the staggering number of illegal immigrants entering the country.
For
Some, Open Border Chaos Is the Goal. Beware, the crisis at the southern border may be
much worse than it appears. Free Apple watches, bus and plane tickets all across the
continental United States, and sophisticated lawyers standing by to counsel migrants on how to best
navigate border officials' scrutiny of asylum on the occasions when they are actually required to
defend their asylum claims. These benefits being offered to illegal border crossers have left
the public shocked, angry, and in many cases, feeling the issue closer to home than ever
before. Many cities and states have also been overwhelmed as the consequences of the crisis
have migrated well beyond the southern border states. Recently, New York City Mayor Eric
Adams made news when he emphatically declared that the now-regular stream of migrants into the Big
Apple "will ruin the City!" It's not just local budgets and social services that are being
squeezed to the breaking point, although those are nothing to sneeze at and will have to be
addressed. The increase in crime may be the biggest concern. Violent crime rates are
up, and violent incidents are prominent on the nightly news.
Diversity,
Division, Disintegration. The terms "racist," "racism," and "hate" are now
commonplace charges and allegations in political discourse and the sphere of public opinion where
whites are called to ceremonially denounce the "white privilege" into which they were born.
The destiny of migrants illegally crossing the southern borders of the U.S. and the European Union
is to replace white Americans and Europeans. As the ongoing invasion continues, native-born
white Americans and Europeans have practically stopped reproducing themselves. Any such
voluntary downturn in the birth rate has always been a sign of internal agony, collapse of society,
social upheaval, and decaying civilization.
Is
Ideological Screening of Immigrants Acceptable? We the people, who have a government
that represents us, and we the people, who pay the taxes, have every right to specify who can and
cannot enter our country. How do we determine this? That depends on the circumstances
such as war, certain hotbed regions of terrorism, pandemics, and so on. There is no universal
formula, because the threats of 100 years ago are different from today. The citizens of a
free country delegate power to the federal government to determine threats, and oppose them.
Immigration policy is an aspect of defense policy and the Congress can make any law the people
choose, but any policies need to be based on what is in our interest. America first.
Treason
Enables Largest Invasion in Human History. Unless rule of law is restored quickly,
starting with the law against treason, America will be extinguished by the leftists who chose Joe
Biden as their figurehead, as Americans are displaced out of existence.
Thousands
of Illegal Crossers Are Being Dropped Off in the Streets. According to the Wall
Street Journal, thousands of illegal crossers have been dropped off in San Diego. These
unvetted, anonymous people don't know where they are, and they have no place to sleep. The
buses are driven by the US government. They are dropping the illegals off in communities all
along the border. Local shelters are hitting capacity, including a nearly thousand-bed
shelter in San Diego that is typically adequate. But the numbers are increasing significantly.
Sen.
Cruz Calls for Preventing Schools From Being Turned Into Housing for Illegal Immigrants.
Sen. Ted Cruz has introduced a bill that would prevent educational institutions from being
turned into shelters for illegal immigrants. The border crisis has placed unprecedented
demands on state resources, and the educational experience of taxpayers' children should not be
compromised to accommodate the migrants, according to Cruz's bill. The legislation serves as
the Senate's companion bill to the Schools Not Shelters Act, which passed the House with bipartisan
support in July. If approved and signed by the president, the bill would bar publicly funded
K-12 schools, colleges, and universities from being used to house illegal aliens.
New
York Democrats to Distribute Flyers to Illegals at Southern Border Warning Them 'You Are Better
Off' Somewhere Else. New York Democrats are planning to distribute flyers at the
US-Mexico border telling illegals to "consider another city." On Wednesday, Mayor Eric
Adam's office announced this plan to "combat misinformation at the border." The flyers will
be in both Spanish and English and will warn the illegals that New York City is the most expensive
city in the world so they will be better off somewhere else. How interesting that a sanctuary
city run by Democrats who have been all for illegal immigration is now troubled by the flood of
illegal aliens. Leftist ideas sound compassionate coming from those Democrat leaders until
it's at their front door.
What
Biden's latest outlandish immigration action tells us about the next one. The Biden
administration recently issued yet another outlandish immigration action, but most Americans likely
did not realize it. I'm talking about the Department of Homeland Security's decision to
extend and "redesignate" Temporary Protected Status for more than 700,000 illegal aliens from
Venezuela that the Biden administration has already allowed into the U.S. For many Americans, this
may sound like a niche policy decision that only immigration policy experts care to discuss.
That's what the Biden Administration is counting on. Don't be fooled, this is the epitome of
an America Last policy.
Close
the Border. Then What? By some estimates, there are thirty million illegal
aliens in the United States. Illegals have been pouring in at the rate of at least two
million a year, and now that influx is being deliberately increased. Leftists want to give
them amnesty. Illegals are being issued driver's licenses. Illegals will also be
allowed to vote in municipal elections. They are even being given payments, which will ensure
they'll vote Democrat. Does anyone doubt that mail-in shenanigans are planned for the 2024
election? Leftists are willing to intentionally demolish this country if that's what it takes
to stay in power. Inevitably, the day will come when the government will be forced to control
the border. We will then be stuck with all the illegal aliens who made it in. To
nobody's surprise, the government has "lost track" of most of them. I'd like to propose a
model for decisively dealing with these illegal aliens once the border is finally secure. [...]
Guess
who's upset now about illegal aliens depressing wages. Karl Marx once wrote of
repeating events in history that they occur "first as tragedy, then as farce." That was my
reaction to an article appearing in the Thursday, September 22 New York Post. The
article focused on complaints of existing illegal aliens in the metropolitan New York City
area. The huge influx of illegal aliens has them occupying 50% of the hotel rooms in the
city. They are sleeping all over the sidewalks in Midtown Manhattan. Mayor Adams has
declared that the costs of dealing with them "will destroy the city." NYC has prided itself on
being a sanctuary city willing to house and feed any and all illegal aliens. Daily television
showed city authorities meeting the arriving buses from the border, shaking hands and greeting the
new illegals. But the large flow from the border has swamped the system. As was posited
in Field of Dreams: "If you build it, they will come." They did, and they did.
The
Border Has Fallen. During the Trump years, Democrats attacked Trump as cruel for
separating migrant parents and children. "A policy that separates young children from their
parents isn't a 'deterrent.' It's unconscionable," said Biden in 2018. "A policy that traumatizes
children isn't a bargaining chip. It's abhorrent." But Dr. Paul Wise, a pediatrician
in charge of monitoring the treatment of migrant children in the custody of US Customs and Border
Protection, reports that the Biden administration's US Customs and Border Protection has been
separating children as young as eight from their parents. "Interviews with parents and
children found that there were minimal or no opportunities for phone contact or direct interaction
between parent and child," Wise said in the court filing. "The separation of families and the lack
of interaction while in custody do significant, and potentially lasting, harm to children,
particularly younger children." There's no denying the crisis. In some areas, the
border between Texas and Mexico looks like a refugee camp in sub-Saharan Africa.
Joe
Biden's biggest nightmares are all starting to come true. [Scroll down]
Anyone want to put money on the idea of Joe Biden putting all hands on deck to resolve the migrant
surge? He hasn't even visited the border. He fobbed the border issue off onto the
incompetent Kamala Harris and she didn't do anything, either. Elon Musk, who's been sued by
the Justice Department for not hiring "refugees" and has seen illegal alien incursions onto his
SpaceX company lands, has announced that he will be visiting the border. The president of
Honduras has visited the border, and certainly President Trump has visited the border. But
Joe Biden hasn't visited the border, let alone taken any effective action to stop the illegal
crossings. If anything, his "increased pathways" to migration has had the effect of adding
highways to severely congested areas, the way Robert Moses once did in New York City, only to find
himself profoundly surprised that the added highways didn't lighten the traffic load. Demand,
in other words, for a free ride from America across the globe, is simply too great, so the more Joe
opens 'legal" pathways (and this is highly questionable) the more the surge grows. His
solution has been to gaslight and cover up the problem, not actually solve it — and the
results speak for themselves.
If you like Venezuela so much, why did you leave? ¡Conquista!
Illegals plant Venezuela's flag on Texas soil. At Eagle Pass, surging illegal
migrants planted a gargantuan Venezuelan flag on a Texas island in the Rio Grande as they attempted
to cross illegally into the U.S. Texas Department of Public Safety's Tactical Marine Unit* troops
sensibly ripped it down and apparently chased the migrants back across the river to the Mexican
side. But the deed was done. The U.S. stood conquered and humiliated, even if only for
a few minutes. What fun they had. [Tweet with video clip]
Video:
Texas Troops Spring Into Action After Illegal Immigrants Plant Foreign Flag on US
Soil. As the porous border near Eagle Pass, Texas, continues to see huge numbers of
illegal immigrants pass over it, one group decided to claim part of Texas in the name of the nation
they had presumably escaped from. Lt. Chris Olivarez, a spokesman for the Texas
Department of Public Safety's South Texas Region, noted that many of the immigrants hailed from
Venezuela, although the flag they planted on an Island with the borders of Texas appeared to be
Colombian. Wherever it happened to come from, members of the DPS' Tactical Marine Unit wasn't
going to let it remain planted on American soil.
Biden
Admin "finally found asylum-seekers it opposes". Tens of thousands of
people — including substantial numbers of single military age males —
illegally cross the southern border into the United States every week under the pretense of seeking
aslyum. But almost none of them would qualify under the exacting standards for asylum, it's
all a sham in which they know that they will be released into the U.S. with an appearance date
years in the future. Under the current administration, almost none of them will be deported,
and almost all will stay here in one capacity or another indefinitely. Few will actually be
granted asylum. This has all the appearances of an organized invasion, with people funneled
to the U.S. by cartels and others, included among them provocateurs who plant foreign flags on U.S.
soil: [Tweet with video clip]
Biden
DHS Has Approved Hundreds of Thousands of Migrants for Secretive Foreign Flights Directly into U.S.
Airports. A little-known part of the Biden administration's CBP One parole program
permits inadmissible aliens to make an appointment to fly directly to airports in the interior of
the United States, bypassing the border altogether. Partial data on the program, just
obtained by the Center for immigration Studies pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request,
reveals that more than 200,000 people from four countries have used this direct-flight and parole
program over the past year.
The Editor says...
If they are "inadmissible," why is the government inviting them in, and who is paying for the air fare?
No
Need to Swim the Rio Grande. The Biden administration is doing all it can to maximize
the number of illegal immigrants entering the country before a Republican administration can take
over and stop the bleeding. The Center for Immigration Studies has used a FOIA request to
shed light on an almost unbelievable aspect of the administration's selling out of America: [...]
But wait, these are supposed to be refugees, right? Asylum seekers. And they use a
mobile app to enroll in Biden's illegal "come to America" program, and can afford to buy a plane
ticket to an American city? I would really like to know who is actually paying for these
airplane tickets. You may wonder where these hundreds of thousands of illegals are landing,
but the Biden administration won't tell you.
Is the
Left Happy That They Got Their Wish? [T]he Obama and the Biden administrations
finally seemed to have achieved their aims, in what the Obamas once boasted would be the
"fundamental transformation" of America into something unrecognizable by its Founders. But
what they gave us was nihilism — the destruction of norms, laws, and customs.
There is no border, no criminal justice system, no real president any more. The citizen is a
serf, the illegal alien the veritable citizen. The former needs a passport to reenter the
country, the latter is waved on through. There is a slob in gym shorts and a hoodie
establishing dress codes for the Senate, teen murderers bragging that they won't spend a day in
jail, and a would-be state legislator filming herself doing sexual gymnastics while begging for
cash only to be upset over the invasion of her "privacy." So the Left got what it wanted and
gave us our new America.
Biden
Admin Lets 221K+ Migrants Fly Directly Into U.S.. The America-Last Biden
administration is reportedly allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants to request flights
over the southern border and directly into the United States. The Biden administration has
been trying to hide the true scope of the illegal alien invasion of our country through the CBP
(Customs and Border Protection) One program. As I previously explained, hundreds of thousands
of migrants every year can apply for a pseudo-legitimization through the CBP One app, meaning that
the Biden administration was claiming a reduction in illegal crossings by the simple expedient of
labeling many thousands of barely-vetted illegals legitimate. But that's not the only
disturbing aspect of the CBP One program. Apparently, illegals are taking airline trips from
other countries straight into the U.S.
Biden's
Flying in Illegal Crossers on "Secretive Foreign Flights". Todd Bensman posted on X,
"Our Government just let in 240,000 illegal immigrants." He stated that the government let 240,000
illegal immigrants fly into the US and then let them go. "Where are they now? The
government doesn't know." He spoke with Steve Bannon, "DHS has been authorizing the flights
from foreign countries directly into 43 US airports, so far 221,000 migrants [illegal aliens]
uncounted, never discussed, never published." The Biden regime is flying these people in to
avoid the optics of illegal aliens gaming the amnesty system.
11K
Migrants Caught Entering Arizona Border Sector in One Week, 40K This Month. Tucson
Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended approximately 11,000 migrants during the past week,
according to the sector chief. Unofficial Border Patrol reports reviewed by Breitbart Texas
reveal the apprehension of approximately 40,000 migrants so far this month. Tucson Sector
Chief Patrol Agent John Modlin posted a report on X indicating his agents apprehended approximately
11,000 migrants during the past week. One of those migrants was a convicted rapist who was
deported after a conviction in the state of Washington.
Broken
barriers. Federal forces helping migrants cross. Charities' millions spent bussing them
North. A migrant carries a tiny baby around a razor wire fence and up a steep Texas
riverbank where he precariously hands the child to another man atop a shipping container.
Within minutes, a uniformed federal officer arrives to help. He hoists up the others in the
30-person group as they leisurely scale the fortifications and illegally enter the country. A
visibly pregnant woman is next. She's guided to river on the Mexican side by a smuggler.
Nearby, Texas state border guards simply look on. They know all too well that Mexican cartels
and human traffickers take advantage of these desperate people and use their children like pawns —
even posing as their parents to curry favor with U.S. immigration officials, who appear
sympathetic. Not that a harder line would achieve much — they're overwhelmed.
Biden-Migration:
More Aliens Than 32 States. Since Joe Biden has come to office, he has endorsed and
incentivized more aliens to come here illegally than the populations of 32 states (counting the
District of Columbia.) Contemplate that — a replacement population for any single
of 32 sovereign territories. Doing the math you can also quickly spot that the 5.9 million
people that have crossed illegally and not been vetted would be a replacement for the bottom 8
states/territories combined. Remember how it "only" took 19 individuals to execute 9/11?
Well the interesting news here is that in 2023 the U. S. Border Patrol has already stopped 146
individuals currently on the terrorist watch list. One with ties to ISIS was caught operating
as a human smuggler in August. The 146 were also the ones that happened to bestopped and
checked. More than 1.8 million aliens have eluded capture and currently roam the interior
with zero pressure to reveal themselves. There is no knowing how many terrorists are among them.
Texas
Attorney General Ken Paxton Receives Briefing On Colony Ridge. Texas Attorney General
Ken Paxton said he is exploring options on how to address problems at Colony Ridge, a massive
housing development north of Houston that's become a hub for illegal immigrants thanks to financing
methods that circumvent any need for proof-of-citizenship documents. Paxton, fresh off the
sidelines after a failed attempt by the legislature to impeach him, said he received a briefing on
the development this week after it was the subject of an investigation by The Daily Wire. "I
got a briefing on this yesterday," Paxton told radio host Michael Berry, calling it "completely
insane that they can set up these villages with illegal immigrants." Paxton said, however,
that legally there is no "clear path" to stopping the development's growth, which has led to a
spike in crime that many believe is tied to Mexican cartel activity.
Mexico
Says They are Overwhelmed with Illegal Migrants, President. You know things are bad
when the Mexican government says they are overwhelmed at their southern border with 10,000 global
migrants arriving daily en route to the United States southern border. [...] The Cloward-Piven
strategy is all about overwhelming the systems, and then letting government step in to fix the
crisis they create.
Colony
Ridge: The 'Fastest Growing Development' In The U.S. Is A Magnet For Illegal
Immigrants. A Texas land developer has established a sprawling settlement north of
Houston where thousands of illegal immigrants are believed to have settled, raising concerns among
experts and elected officials that the development 400 miles in the interior of the United
States could become a strategic asset for cartels. Located in Liberty County, Texas near the
small town of Plum Grove, the Colony Ridge development is a sprawling community that, based on an
analysis of publicly available information, is now over 60 square miles and nearly the size of the
nation's capital, Washington, D.C. Its population is estimated to be anywhere between 50,000
to 75,000, and it is growing rapidly thanks to a marketing plan targeted at Texas' hispanic population.
We
Do Not Have a Broken Immigration System. We Have a Broken Enforcement System. I
am so sick of hearing that the United States has a "broken" immigration system. There is
nothing wrong with America's immigration system. It's a system of laws passed by the people's
duly elected representatives that enables limited and orderly immigration. [...] Asylum is not for
aliens who "came here to work hard" or who "want to provide a better life for their children" or
who have "no opportunity in their home country." That's unfortunate, but it is emphatically
not a legitimate reason to be granted asylum. And entering my country illegally (which
my family entered legally) and then lying on your federal asylum request is grounds for prompt
removal, according to our perfectly good, popularly and properly passed laws. An American who
lies on or falsifies a federal application commits a felony. Just ask the president's son.
The
Biden Admin Destroyed Our Immigration Law. Since early 2021 we have witnessed
somewhere between 7 million and 8 million illegal entries across the now-nonexistent southern
border of the U.S. The more the border vanished, the more federal immigration law was
rendered inert, and the more Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas spun fantasies that the
"border is secure." He is now written off as a veritable "Baghdad Bob" propagandist. But
how and why did the Biden administration destroy immigration law as we knew it? The Trump
administration's initial efforts to close the border had been continually obstructed in the
Congress, sabotaged by the administrative state, and stymied in the courts. Nonetheless, it
finally had secured the border by early 2020. Yet almost all the Trump administration's
successful initiatives were immediately overturned in 2021. Construction of the wall was
abruptly stopped, its projected trajectory canceled. The disastrous Obama-era "catch and
release" policy of immigration nonenforcement was resurrected.
Biden's
DHS let 200,000 illegal immigrants fly directly into 43 cities. The Biden
administration has unleashed a new program to boost illegal immigration that allows immigrants to
fly directly from their hometowns into a U.S. city of their choice, according to newly obtained
records. Instead of rushing the Texas border, the program lets immigrants use the
administration's app to pick a destination, buy an airline ticket, and fly in unseen on what
amounts to ghost flights. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, which sued the
Department of Homeland Security for the documents on the program, over 210,000 have been processed
since January. That is a population the size of Rochester, New York, or Des Moines, Iowa.
Shocking
3.8 million migrants have entered US since Biden took office — 1.5 million sneaked in
and are still here. A jaw-dropping 3.8 million people have entered the United States
through its borders since President Joe Biden took office in 2021 — nearly half of whom
slipped into the country illegally and were never caught. Over the last three years,
2,345,600 people have been granted Notices to Appear (NTAs) before an immigration court, according
to figures compiled by Syracuse University's TRAC immigration database. NTAs are issued to
people who arrive on US soil, hand themselves in to Border Patrol and claim asylum. If they
are deemed to potentially have a case, they are assigned a hearing — often years in
advance — where a judge will determine if they can remain in the country or will be
deported. The filings provide an accurate picture of the number of migrants entering the country.
The
Psychology of Illegal Immigration. The conscious decision to illegally enter America
has consequences. Often it leads to some immediate economic and educational advantages for
illegal immigrants and their children. Education and a job in America afford the ability to
send money back home to relatives in the country of origin. However, drug cartels forcibly
require illegal immigrants to pay for assistance in crossing our American border. Sometimes
such money is extracted violently or via forced sex trafficking behaviors. Intimidation by
cartel criminals shows cowardice. Moreover, the shadow-side of the illegal entry decision
lives on and festers in the subconscious mind of illegal immigrants. The implications of such
an illegal immigrant parent's decision results in the intergenerational transmission of guilt and
shame to the minds of their children and grandchildren. If there are no overt signs of this
cultural class guilt and shame it is because of massive denial and reaction formation.
Shameful and shameless behavior and hidden guilt about it can spawn acting-out behavior.
Alcoholism, crime, reckless driving, and shameless predatory sexual behavior can result. In
other words, illegal immigrant parents' actions have conscious, preconscious, and unconscious
impact on their children's minds, morals, and character.
GOP
Governors Demand Biden Disclose Where DHS Is Resettling Illegal Aliens. Republican
governors are calling on President Joe Biden to "provide honest, accurate, detailed information" on
where his administration is resettling tens of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens
released into the United States every month. In a letter to Biden, Montana Gov. Greg
Gianforte (R), along with 24 other Republican governors, is urging Biden to divulge the locations
of the millions of illegal aliens that have entered American communities since he took office in
early 2021.
Friday
Afternoon Statistic Dump — Border Patrol Reports Over 7.5 million Illegal Aliens
Released into U.S. During Biden Term. The Dept of Homeland Security, Customs and
Border Patrol (CBP) waiting until Friday afternoon to [release] the latest statistics on illegal
alien apprehensions at the U.S. southern border. As a current surge is underway, the August
apprehension rate was 304,162, the highest of any month so far on record. Since Joe Biden
took office over 7.5 million illegal aliens have been encountered and released into the United
States. Of that number 5.18 million were single adult males. This is a wholesale
invasion of illegal aliens on a scale never before fathomed. Joe Biden has created this
crisis, and it is getting worse.

Breach Border, Push Small Children Under Texas Razor Wire. Texas Department of Public
Safety troopers began arresting migrants who breached the razor wire barrier in Eagle Pass, Texas,
on Thursday afternoon. During the breach, Breitbart Texas observed small children being
pushed under the wire meant to deter illegal migrant crossings. Late Thursday morning,
migrants staged in Piedras Negras began crossing the Rio Grande in small groups to reach the Texas
border in Eagle Pass. When the groups of migrants arrived, they lined up along the river bank
and in the river as they confronted DPS officials and the razor wire border barrier. Border
Patrol agents were not in the vicinity.
Governor
Greg Abbott Officially Declares Invasion at Southern Border. Texas Governor Greg
Abbott has declared an "invasion" at the southern border, attributing it to the Mexican drug
cartels. This declaration comes as Governor Abbott takes a firm stance against the escalating
security crisis and the influx of criminal activities from across the border. "I officially
declared an invasion at our border because of Biden's policies. We deployed the Texas
National Guard, DPS & local law enforcement. We are building a border wall, razor wire &
marine barriers. We are also repelling migrants," Governor Abbott announced in a post on Thursday.
'DHS
Out to Lunch,' Plans Massive Migrant Releases at Texas Border, Says CBP Source.
According to a source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) has no cohesive enforcement strategy to address the border incursion of more than
2,500 migrants into one Texas border town on Wednesday. The source, not authorized to speak
to the media, told Breitbart Texas every Border Patrol station in the region is beyond
capacity. The only instructions received from DHS is to quickly process and release the
mostly Venezuelan migrants who made landfall in Eagle Pass to a non-government shelter.
Breitbart Texas posted in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, Mexico, on Wednesday morning and watched as the
more than 2,500 migrants moved through the city streets headed to the Rio Grande to begin the
border crossing. Piedras Negras is the city directly across the border from Eagle Pass,
Texas, a city of 30,000 residents. Some migrants carried children on their shoulders and the
few belongings they possessed while they moved to surrender to federal and state authorities
waiting in Eagle Pass. Many were single adult migrants.
Our
Self-Induced Catastrophe at the Border. Since early 2021 we have witnessed somewhere

It's
No Accident The Southern Border Is Collapsing, It's Intentional. A clip of comedian
Louis C.K. on the Joe Rogan show has been circulating on X (formerly Twitter) this week in which he
goes on and on about how opening up the southern border would be a good thing because Americans
shouldn't have such a high standard of living compared to the rest of the world, how poor people in
other countries just want what Americans have, and how it's not fair that we have so much. "It
shouldn't be so great here," he says. So open the border and let them pour in. It's
possible he's joking, that it's just a comedy bit he's practicing. That's what my friend Inez
Stepman thinks. Get liberals to nod along in agreement and then expose the consequences of
such an insane idea. You can judge for yourself: [Tweet with video clip] I
don't think it comes off as a joke but as an almost perfect distillation of globalist liberalism.
Louis C.K. cannot fathom why Americans should have a say about who comes into their country and
who does not. He clearly has no real allegiance to his country or countrymen, and is actually
embarrassed by their prosperity — and presumably his own as well.
Who
are all these thousands of unvetted Venezuelan migrants marching into Eagle Pass?
[Tweet with video clip] They are all single young men, marching in single file, the way
people do who are certain they will not be cheated, so no need to rush, and one of them says, in
response to apparently a Border Patrol-shouted question, "We are fleeing a dictatorship." He'd
get arguments from Venezuela apologists Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar about
that, but no arguments from them about their "right" to claim asylum here. The situation is
getting bad, with 9,000 or 10,000 people, mostly Venezuelans, crossing into Eagle Pass. It's
so bad normal border traffic has been halted, leaving the people who properly use the border for
trade and work without a means of getting to work and getting paid. Supply chains, in other
words, are disrupted, based on the Biden administration's priority to "process" the incoming
migrants instead.
Hundreds
of African migrants sneak into the US in broad daylight. Baba, a mechanic from the
West African nation of Mauritania threw himself to the ground and prayed seconds after squeezing
through the steel fence at the Mexican border in Arizona. 'Joe Biden opened the door for us,' he
gleefully yelled as dusk fell and the migrants waited to be picked up and processed by U.S.
authorities. 'I wanted to come here to be free. You cannot put a price on freedom,' added
Baba, one of an increasing number of migrants from several African countries who are now joining
the influx along the southern border.

New
York Times: Colombia to Send 1 Million More Global Migrants in 2024. One
million economic migrants from around the world will exit Columbia for the United States in 2024,
says the leftist president of Columbia, Gustavo Petro. Colombia will not interfere with the
huge flow out of Colombia, across Panama's Darien Gap, through Mexico, and up to the U.S. border,
Petro told the New York Times: [...][ One million more Darien Gap migrants in 2024 would be
in addition to the huge illegal migrant flow from Central American countries. Colombia's
illegal inflow, plus the huge legal inflow of one million legal immigrants and one million
supposedly temporary workers, would deliver roughly one migrant for every birth in the United
States. That massive inflow would accelerate the elite-pushed demographic replacement within
Americans' homeland.
Border
Patrol Separated Immigrant Families This Summer, A Practice Biden Once Called
'Abhorrent'. New court documents claim that Border Patrol agents temporarily
separated some migrant families this summer, a practice President Joe Biden once called an
"abhorrent." In a Friday court filing, Dr. Paul Wise, a pediatrician tasked with
monitoring the conditions and treatment of migrant children in U.S. Customs and Border Protection
custody, said that he found children as young as 8 were separated from their parents by the Biden
administration. The separations were done mainly to prevent overcrowding in short-term
holding facilities, but Wise warned that they could have a lasting effect on children.
"Interviews with parents and children found that there were minimal or no opportunities for phone
contact or direct interaction between parent and child," Wise said in the court filing. "The
separation of families and the lack of interaction while in custody do significant, and potentially
lasting, harm to children, particularly younger children."
The
Long Journey to Our Mistrust. Mass Unrestrained Immigration is a tool of the
Devil. Blame Republicans for acquiescing to Democrat's demands for an Open Border.
Invite outsiders in, feed them, house them, and provide medical care, utilities, laundry services,
and even phones so that they can encourage others to follow. Like a star in the sky beckoning
all to come, Democrats salivate at all the new voters they'll control one day. Anyone who
believes otherwise is a fool. If this policy continued for another ten years, at least 25 million
more would have come, maybe a lot more. Who doesn't understand this? The flow
will only diminish when there is no more Free Stuff. That will see the final looting of
America commence by a horde of people simply fighting to stay alive.
Video
shows Mexican train reportedly 'bursting' with migrants heading to US southern border. A
Mexican train is transporting dozens of migrants to the U.S. southern border, according to a new
report. Fox News national correspondent Griff Jenkins posted an alarming video of the migrant
train on the X social media platform on Sunday afternoon. Griff captioned the video: "FOX
News sources capture a FerroMex train bursting with migrants out of Zacatecas heading to our
southern border right now... cheering and clearly not heeding the message: 'do not come."
They're not here to work. Only
800 of New York's tens of thousands of illegal immigrants have applied for work
authorization. It has been revealed that out of the tens of thousands of illegal
immigrants that have taken over New York City within the past 18 months, less than two percent have
applied for work visas. Democrats at every level of government continue to say that getting
more work visas will solve the illegal immigration problem in New York. AOC and other
Democrats staged a press conference outside midtown Manhattan's Roosevelt Hotel on Friday to speak
about work authorizations, more federal funding, and the American dream, but they were shouted down
by constituents who very clearly want the border closed. According to New York Post, only 800
adult-aged illegal immigrants have filed the necessary paperwork required to obtain work visas
which will allow them to start earning a legal wage. Data shows that there are roughly 60,000
illegal immigrants currently residing in the Big Apple.
What
Happened to the 177,000 Illegal Aliens DHS Lost? We are not in very good hands when
it comes to our homeland security. DHS Inspector General reports that 177,000 illegal aliens
who were released in the U.S. disappeared. But that's not all. Out of the 177,000
illegal immigrants released, 54,000 were found to have blank addresses. The rest either had
invalid or nonexistent addresses. Address forms included 50 different locations, including a
Maryland restaurant, a Georgia bus station, a New Jersey car dealership, and an Illinois
church. DHS cannot send an immigration hearing notice to illegal aliens if they do not have a
valid address. In the process of screening illegals to determine if they pose a threat to
national security or criminal activity, a valid address is required. Without it, the illegals
cannot be arrested and deported.

Jobs Report: 1.2 Million Native-Born Workers Lost Their Jobs & Were Replaced With 668K Foreign-Born
Workers. Zero Hedge reports that 1.2 million American born workers have been replaced
by nearly 700k foreign born workers. Bidenomics: America last. As Biden continues
to tout his economy, the data says otherwise. The July jobs estimate was revised 30,000 lower
and the June total was revised a whopping 104,000 lower making it the worst month since December of
2020. The unemployment rate also jumped to 3.8% in August as tech companies begin layoffs.
The
View co-hosts call for migrants arriving in New York City to be 'resettled elsewhere' because America is
'a massive country'. The Ladies of the View suggested on Friday that migrants should be
'resettled elsewhere' because America is a 'massive country' while discussing their disappointment with
Mayor Eric Adams's handling of the crisis faced by New York City. NYC Mayor Eric Adams warned earlier
this week that the 10,000 illegal asylum seekers arriving every month will 'destroy' the city. It is
a stark shift for the mayor, who promised while campaigning that NYC would remain a sanctuary city under
an Adams administration, saying in 2021, 'We should protect our immigrants. Period.'
The Editor says...
[#1] Mexico is a massive country, too. [#2] Why do illegal immigrants deserve the mayor's
"protection" from the moment they arrive? They should all be deported.
An
Eyewitness on the Border. I've reported on the Arizona-Mexico border for a long time,
and recently published a novel about a ranching family battling a drug cartel trying to take over
their ranch. But for on-the-ground grit and realism, it's hard to match the account of a
Border Patrol agent who works the line every day. Early last month, a friend began sending me
emails written by an agent who risks losing his job if his identity becomes public. But what
this whistleblower sees every day is endangering the country he loves, and he has to speak out.
House
committee says Mayorkas 'enriched the cartels' after second phase of Republican-led
investigation. The House Homeland Security Committee released the findings of the
second part of their probe Thursday into Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas, finding he "enriched the cartels," according to a copy of the report obtained by the
Daily Caller News Foundation. Under Mayorkas' leadership as DHS secretary, cartels have
gained more control over the southern border and smuggled more individuals and contraband across
it, according to the report. The first phase of House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green's
probe focused on Mayorkas' alleged "dereliction" of his duty as secretary of DHS. Cartel
smuggling of illegal migrants has become a billion-dollar industry as illegal immigration has
surged, The New York Times reported in 2022. Border Patrol recorded a record of more than
2.2 million illegal migrant encounters along the southern border in fiscal year 2022,
according to federal data.
Biden
adminstration considering plan to force migrants to remain in Texas: report. The
Biden administration is considering forcing migrants who cross into the United States illegally to
remain in Texas while they wait out their asylum screening. Administration officials cite the
proposed plan as a way to curb the flow of illegal immigrants at the southern border, The Los
Angeles Times reported, citing three U.S. officials not authorized to discuss the matter. The
plan would force migrants to remain in Texas, or possibly other border states by tracking their
location through GPS monitoring devices, such as ankle bracelets, the officials told the Times.
The Editor says...
If he can force them to remain in Texas, why can't he force them to remain in Mexico?
The Veil
of National Security. There is no national security. One cannot have national
security with an open border and unvetted entrants. It's as simple as that. What we do
have is national secrets kept from the people for no other reason than to protect the usurpers and
treasonous from the consequences of their actions. Part of this is accomplished from hiding
the facts from the people, the other part is accomplished by arresting those who discover the
hidden facts. The point is, if the government didn't have so much to hide from the people,
especially their illegal activity, there would be very little that would have to be kept
secret. But, today, almost everything that points to government corruption is hidden behind
the veil of national security. If this were a proper republic, with laws and stuff like that,
where individuals had rights to privacy and the government didn't, as intended, it would be a much
different place and it might prosper. But in the corrupt world the treasonous have created
out of the shell of the republic, it cannot. Prosperity is the first casualty of tyranny.
Biden
Launches Nationwide Workforce Initiative — for Illegal Aliens. President
Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has launched a nationwide workforce initiative
that seeks to funnel millions of border crossers and illegal aliens into United States
jobs — even as the labor force participation rate for Americans continues to
decline. On Wednesday, Biden's DHS announced "a first-of-its-kind national campaign" to make
millions of border crossers and illegal aliens, who have been released into the U.S. interior,
aware that they are eligible for work permits to take American jobs.
1.2
Million US-born workers lost their jobs last month, replaced by 688,000 foreign-born staff.
Staggering figures have revealed that over 1.2 million US-born workers lost their jobs last month while
the foreign-born workforce increased by nearly 700,000, as migrants continue to flood across the border under
the Biden administration. Data from US Bureau of Labor Statistics show that between July and August,
there was a staggering decrease of 1.223 million native-born people in the workforce, which is a low
not beaten since the jobs crash when Covid hit in April 2020. In stark contrast almost 688,000 jobs
were secured by foreign-born workers, underlining the difference in Joe Biden's pro-migration policies
versus Donald Trump's tough border stance.
What
the Left Did to Our Country. Biden destroyed the southern border —
literally. Eight million entered illegally — no background checks, no green cards,
no proof of vaccinations. America will be dealing with the consequences for decades.
Mexico was delighted, receiving some $60 million in annual remittances, while the cartels were
empowered to ship enough fentanyl to kill 100,000 Americans a year.
The
Biden administration has effectively outsourced U.S. immigration to the Mexican cartels. [Video clip]
The video above features Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s mini-documentary "Midnight At the Border," in which he
travels to the U.S.-Mexico border in Yuma, Arizona, to investigate the illegal immigration issue
firsthand. [...] A major take-home from Kennedy's exposé of the border crisis is that the
Biden administration has effectively outsourced U.S. immigration to the cartels. Several
cartels are in fact now fighting for supremacy. According to Jonathan Lines, Yuma County,
Arizona, supervisor for District 2, there have been 300 assassinations in the past 18 months,
as the cartels fight for control of the human trafficking business. On the night that Kennedy
visited Yuma, some 150 people from all over the world crossed the border. And, as noted by
Lines, that's a new phenomenon. In the past, most of the border-jumpers came from Mexico and
South America. Now, most of those entering the U.S. illegally are from China, Africa and
Eastern Europe. People are also coming from Russia, Syria, Ukraine, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan,
Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Bangladesh. They've heard there's no border control,
so they make their way to Mexico first, and then cross over from there.
Record
numbers of families streamed across U.S border illegally in August. US Border Patrol
has arrested at least 91,000 migrants who crossed the overflowing border as part of family groups
in August — as detainments rose by 30 percent for two consecutive months. For the first time
during Joe Biden's presidency, families were the biggest demographic moving across the US-Mexico
border — surpassing single adults. The influx follows his rolling out of new restrictions to
slow down illegal crossings. This is more than the previous one-month record of 84,486 set in
May 2019, which occurred during Donald Trump's tenure, Washington Post reports.
CBP
demoted whistleblowers who revealed 'decade-long failure' to collect criminal DNA :docs.
US Customs and Border Protection retaliated for years against three whistleblowers who called out its
failure to collect DNA from millions of detainees, allowing some violent criminals to evade justice for
decades, a federal investigation found. Fred Wynn, Mike Taylor and Mark Jones faced professional
and financial consequences for spotlighting their agency's refusal to comply with federal law enforcement rules
for DNA collection on criminal arrestees since 2009, according to the US Office of Special Counsel (OSC).
Who
knew that ISIS would try to take advantage of an open border? [Scroll down]
What would a responsible president do? First, he would close the border and let the system
digest the ones already here. The mayor of New York City might support that. He could
use a break from the buses. Second, he would assure the country that further steps would be
implemented to keep out criminals or security threats. This is consistent with the oath that
he took when he assumed the position. Third, why aren't we talking to Mexico about
this? It's hard for me to believe that Mexico cannot stop this in a heartbeat. Or maybe
they can't and that would call for unilateral action against the criminal elements profiting from
the human traffic.
New
York is bankrupting itself with migrant shelters. Unless you're a local, you may have
never heard of Randall's Island in New York City. It typically doesn't generate a lot of
headlines, but it will soon. It's a nice, small island located between the East River and the
Harlem River and it has public parks, sports fields, and several other amenities. But now
there are massive metallic structures being constructed there where as many as 2,000 illegal
migrants will be housed, courtesy of the taxpayers of the state. Governor Kathy Hochul has
secured funding to provide $20 million per month to cover the cost of the shelter. That works
out to $10,000 per month for every migrant being given a bed there. And the locals can forget
about using the parks and the sports fields.
NYPD
ramps up security at Staten Island migrant shelter as protests rock neighborhood. Cop
cars and barricades surrounded a controversial Staten Island Catholic school-turned-migrant-shelter
Sunday — as police said they are bracing for a rally Monday that could bring more than
2,000 protesters. Many demonstrators outside the former St. John Villa Academy in
Arrochar have claimed they are not anti-immigrant, just concerned about the potential for crime and
angry at city officials for shipping migrants into their neighborhood with little warning.
"The government has to stop doing this to our communities in secret and stop lying about it when
they're confronted," said Scott Herkert, 53, who has lived next to the school for 22 years and was
among about a dozen demonstrators outside it Sunday. "This is a total disruption of my life."
Eric
Adams and Kathy Hochul [are] still clueless about the ongoing migrant crisis rocking
NYC. For several years, news reports have chronicled how tens of thousands of wealthy
and middle-class families have been fleeing New York City and state for less expensive and safer
destinations. More recently, news reports have chronicled how more than 100,000 illegal
immigrants who crossed the southern border and claimed asylum have come to the city, with 60,000 of
them living free of charge in publicly-funded hotels and shelters. The sheer numbers are
swamping the bureaucracy and budget and riling inundated neighborhoods. Seen in relation to
each other, the waves of departures and arrivals illustrate a rapid shift in the city's population
and tax base. They also sound a warning that Gotham's already-serious decline in public
safety and order is likely to accelerate.
Biden,
it's you. My guess is that Governor Hochul is in a no-win situation. She knows
that the problem lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, who opened the border. At the same time,
she has to keep the liberal wing of the party happy, or the same people who support this insane
policy. Mayor Adams is in the middle of this mess. His hands are tied, and the Abbott
Bus Lines keep dropping off passengers. The key word in the article is "totally
unsustainable," or the reality that a state losing taxpayers can't afford to spend more
money. In other words, every dollar that goes to migrants comes from another state or city
program. The other reality is that there is no money coming from Washington. The House
won't pass such an expenditure, and there are not 60 votes in the U.S. Senate.
Gov.
Kathy Hochul Announces Jobs Program for Illegal Aliens as 380K New Yorkers are Unemployed.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) has announced a jobs program for tens of thousands of border crossers
and illegal aliens who are arriving in the sanctuary state every week, even as about 380,000 New Yorkers
are unemployed. As more than 100,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in New York,
mostly in New York City, since the spring of last year, Hochul has pleaded with President Joe Biden not
to stem the flow of illegal immigration but to more easily provide new arrivals with work permits.
Abbott
Sends 10th Bus Full of Illegal Migrants to Los Angeles. As President Joe Biden's open
border continues to wreak havoc on the United States, one Democratic city is suffering the
consequences. Over the weekend, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) sent its tenth bus full of
illegal migrants to Los Angeles just days after its mayor criticized the border state for sending
migrants. Democrat Mayor Karen Bass got a rude awakening when a bus of 39 illegal migrants
showed up on her doorstep. The bus, which included 12 families and 21 children, was sent five
days after Abbott sent the ninth shipment to the liberal city during Tropical Storm Hillary.
By "refugees" they mean illegal aliens. Justice
Department sues SpaceX for not hiring refugees. SpaceX hires American citizens and
people with Green Cards but doesn't hire asylum seekers and refugees. This seems rational and
actually mirrors a policy practiced by NASA. Both do a lot of national security work and it makes
sense to restrict the pool of applicants. It is hardly unduly burdensome. The United
States is a big country and it is no tragedy that SpaceX has restricted its hiring to permanent
residents of the country. [Tweet] Now it is true that not all SpaceX jobs are high-security
positions, but it is difficult to see why the Justice Department is putting a laser focus on
SpaceX's hiring practices for its baristas and demanding that the company identify every
non-citizen and asylee who ever applied to SpaceX and pay them back pay for not being hired.
The Editor says...
It is not the proper role of government to create or locate jobs for illegal aliens.
Welcome
migrants, bye-bye property rights. Anti-borders politicians have created a migrant
crisis all over the United States. Despite proudly proclaiming themselves to be "sanctuary
cities" that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement efforts, places like New York
City and Boston have proven themselves to be profoundly inept at managing the large numbers of
migrants who have responded to their invitation. What are radical, globalist mayors and
lieutenant governors to do when they find themselves with egg on their faces? They expect
regular Janes and Joes to clean up their mess. In June of this year, New York City Mayor Eric
Adams asked everyday New Yorkers to consider housing migrants in spare rooms in their private
residences. More recently, Commonwealth of Massachusetts Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll
jumped on the bandwagon and appealed to Bay State residents to "host" migrants in "an extra room or
suite." The Big Apple and Beantown are two of the most expensive cities in the United
States. And they have both been whining about housing crises for years.
Our
Upside-Down Immigration System Rolls Out The Red Carpet For Illegals While Booting Skilled
Workers. Three machine-gun-toting cartel members waltzed across the Tex-Mex frontier,
near Eagle Pass, on August 5. The Border Patrol chased them, but they got away. These thugs
are armed, deadly, and could be plotting evil, anywhere in America. Some 200 illegal aliens
stormed the border crossing at Brownsville, Texas, on August 8. Rather than wait patiently, they
swamped Border Patrol officers, breached the checkpoint, and dashed into the interior. Who
are they? Where are they? Who knows? Over 100,000 illegal aliens have overpowered
New York City since last spring. They clog the sidewalks outside and rooms inside the
previously venerable Roosevelt Hotel, where bandleader Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians dazzled
radio listeners with "Auld Lang Syne" on many New Year's Eves. Democrat Mayor Eric Adams has
converted soccer fields on Randall's Island (in the East River) into a giant shelter for 2,000
illegals. Taxpayers starved for recreation and teenagers seeking team sports, rather than
trouble, are out of luck.
Illegals
[are] shocked how easy it is to come over [the] border. The Biden regime's
immigration policies are so ineffective at stopping the flood of illegal aliens that even the new
arrivals are shocked over how easy it is to cross over into the United States. Thousands of
northbound migrants are pouring across the border in southern Arizona on a daily basis, walking
unmolested through massive floodgates near the Tucson border post that have been left wide open
during the monsoon season and to facilitate migration for an endangered antelope species.
Stunning video footage obtained by the New York Post shows the illegals just casually walking
through the gates at a location that has become "the busiest point of illegal entry into the
country," according to the outlet. [Video clip]
Report:
Biden Admin Welds Arizona Border Wall Gates Open. A media report revealed that Biden
administration officials welded border wall gates open near Lukeville, Arizona. The open
gates allow migrants to freely walk through the border wall and into the Arizona desert.
Border Patrol officials admitted responsibility for a decision to weld open flood gates in sections
of border wall near Lukeville, the New York Post reported. The admission reportedly
came after the agency attempted to blame other federal agencies for the action that allows
thousands of migrants to freely cross into what is now the nation's busiest border sector.
Biden
is Doing Everything Possible to Open Up the Border. The Biden administration and its
media allies keep acting as if the massive southern border invasion is something out of their
control. In reality, the administration has done everything possible to keep the border
open. The Biden administration has fought any state efforts at securing the border. Its
EPA sued Arizona to dismantle a wall of shipping containers being used to keep out some of the
alien invaders. Its DOJ sued Texas over floating barriers on the Rio Grande. The common
theme was to not only open the border as wide as possible to accommodate the invaders, but to
suppress any efforts by states to secure their borders on their own. Now it's actively
selling off parts of the border wall so they can never be used again.
Historic
LA hotel devolves into housing projects, repairs cost taxpayers more than $11.5
million. Built in 1926, The Mayfair Hotel in downtown Los Angeles was a historical
treasure, a unique marriage between the glamor of Old Hollywood and the elan of the Roaring
Twenties, and then California Democrats got ahold of it. The Mayfair once hosted the first
ever Academy Awards after-party, but now it houses Skid Row. [...] (How could anyone think inviting
drug-addled derelicts into a luxury hotel wouldn't end up this way?) Like
stereotypical crazy bums, the transients housed at the Mayfair "punched through walls," trashed
appliances and bathrooms, smashed windows to throw objects onto the street below, and left
fentanyl-covered tinfoil sheets strewn about. And, in predictable fashion, the idiotic decisions
of the left aren't limited to only affecting leftists, and the havoc spilled out onto the street.
A
horrific story from Mexico tells you what Biden is bringing to America. Since the day
he came into office, Biden has opened America's southern border, an illegal act that should see him
not only impeached but indicted and imprisoned. But that's not the world in which we
live. We live in a world in which millions of illegal aliens stream into America, a
substantial number of whom are Mexican cartel foot soldiers. That's why you should know about
the horrible deaths that five childhood friends suffered at the hands of the cartel in Jalisco,
Mexico. Between the third-world-style indictments against Trump and the trickle of
information about Biden's epic, anti-American corruption, we're not hearing a lot about what's
happening along our southern border. However, even though the border is headline news,
whether under the MSM's slobbery version of pathetic third-worlders in crisis or the actual story
of a nation that's being invaded, the border continues to be an issue.
Biden's
Spreading Illegal Immigration Crisis. President Biden created the border
crisis. The president and his incompetent Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro N.
Mayorkas, have utterly failed to carry out the executive branch's constitutional responsibility to
faithfully execute the immigration laws. In addition to not securing the border adequately in
the first place, the Biden administration has made catch and release its standard policy.
Prodded by the expiration of the Title 42 health emergency expulsion order, the administration
scrambled to implement carrot and stick measures intended to redirect immigrants seeking to enter
the country to do so through legally permissible channels. The hodgepodge of measures
includes an app allowing migrants to make appointments beforehand for entry into the United States
at a U.S. port of entry to apply for asylum. The app does not work consistently, and Mexican
cartel smugglers have already hacked it. Many migrants have simply bypassed using the app
altogether and have entered the country illegally without an appointment.
SUNY
Buffalo booting migrants from dorms over student safety concerns, critic rips move as
prejudiced. SUNY Buffalo State University is evicting 44 migrants from its dorms
after parents raised concerns over student safety — but an asylum-seeker advocate claims
the move smacks of prejudice. Officials at the state university abruptly canceled an
agreement with a local community group that placed dozens of migrants at the upstate school in
May — citing parental worries in the wake of separate sex-assault charges against two
migrants bused north from New York City, Buffalo News reported. "As we are welcoming our
students back to campus Tuesday, we wanted to ensure the best possible learning environment for our
students and smooth functioning of our university operations," interim school President Bonia
Durand said in a statement, according to the outlet.
Biden
Tries to Sink Gov. Abbott's Border Buoys. The Biden Administration is taking
steps to undermine Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's (R-TX) actions to keep illegal aliens out of the
U.S. The state's top land official called out the Biden Administration's proposed federal
protection for two Rio Grande mussel species as a "political" game to stop Abbott from deploying
his buoys in the U.S.-Mexico water border. "Unfortunately, the Biden administration is
turning the Endangered Species Act into a political tool to push an agenda rather than ensuring
true conservation efforts are implemented," Texas General Land Office Commissioner Dawn Buckingham
said in a statement. "This administration is proposing to roll back reasonable improvements made to
this law and are simply ignoring the successful accomplishments of private preservationists, state,
and local land managers by adding more federal red tape regulations."
Hundreds
Of New Yorkers Protest 'Tent City' For 1,000 Illegal Immigrant Men Opening Near Elementary
School. Hundreds of New York City residents gathered in Queens on Wednesday to
protest the opening of a shelter that is expected to house around 1,000 illegal immigrant men near
an elementary school and senior center. The protesters held up signs and chanted "no tent
city," opposing the move by state officials to house illegal immigrants in the new shelter as
hotels and homeless shelters in the Big Apple are overrun with thousands of people who illegally
entered the country and were bused to New York. The tent city, approved by state leaders,
opened Tuesday after being set up in 10 days in the parking lot of a psychiatric facility in
Queens, Fox 5 reported. Multiple people were arrested during the protest, including former
GOP mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa, who allegedly refused police orders to get out of the street
where he and others were blocking traffic, according to The New York Post.
DHS
Mayorkas: Cubans 'Deserve the Right' to Migrate to U.S.. President Joe Biden's
Cuban-born border chief is accelerating his transfer of poor Cuban migrants into Americans' society
and the U.S. economy. "Cubans, like my own family, who nearly 63 years ago fled the communist
takeover, deserve the same opportunity to follow legal pathways to build a new life in the United
States," said a statement from border chief Alejandro Mayorkas. The statement announced the
opening of a "Field Office" in Havana to help migrants get into the United States via chain migration
paperwork, family reunification claims, refugee status, and supposedly "lawful ... pathways."

Democrats Who Have Declared States of Emergency Over Border Crisis. Most elected
Democrats across the country have either been silent about or openly promoted the Biden
administration's border policies. But once the effects of those policies were felt at home,
putting thousands of illegal aliens in their own backyards, several Democrats have acknowledged
there is a problem. Democratic leaders in Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Texas,
and Washington, D.C., have declared states of emergency in response to the border crisis that
occurred after President Joe Biden took office.
Biden
Asks Congress for Billions to Expand Illegal Migration. President Joe Biden's
deputies are asking the House GOP majority to fund new travel and housing programs for more
economic migrants who are being encouraged to take opportunities needed by ordinary
Americans. The August 10 request for $3.3 billion funding "is not all designed to
promote more illegal immigration, but most of it seems to be," said Mark Krikorian, director of the
Center for Immigration Studies[.]
Dem
Govs, Mayors Declared Emergencies After Receiving [a] Trickle Of [the] Southern Border's Migrant
Flood. Even as southern border communities deal with an influx of thousands of
migrants each day, Democrat-run cities and states have declared emergencies after a few hundred or
thousand migrant arrivals, according to a review of their declarations. Democratic leaders in
Denver, Massachusetts, New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago and the state of Illinois have all
declared emergencies over hundreds to a few thousand migrants arriving to their cities and in their
shelters in recent months. Meanwhile, illegal migrant encounters at the southern border have
remained high, according to federal data. Border Patrol recorded more than 1.2 million
illegal migrant encounters in the state of Texas in all of fiscal year 2022, more than 561,000 in
Arizona over the same time period, more than 142,000 in New Mexico and roughly 249,000 in
California, according to federal data. Agents have recorded more 1.5 million illegal migrant
encounters across the aforementioned southern border states between October 2022 and June.

Shows Heaps of Trash, Pills Strewn Across Southern Border by Migrants. Heaps of
trash, clothing, and items such as birth control pills are scattered across the southern border,
John Rourke of Blue Line Moving discovered as he went to the Southern border ahead of his annual
cleanup, documenting his findings along the way. Rourke, owner of Blue Line Moving,
previously spoke to Breitbart News at the Turning Point Action summit in July, detailing his annual
border cleanup, as he heads to the southern border every year on September 11 to clean up trash.
"So I have the great American cleanup where I go to border towns, and I pick up trash on every
9/11. And we raise money and donate it to the sheriff's department for the town in which I clean
up," he said, describing his findings as "life-changing." "There's clothes everywhere, there's trash
everywhere. There's wild animals, dogs that are left behind when they cross the border. All
the border towns have wild dogs all over the place. It's really an emergency, and I felt like I
could help out. I want to continue to serve. So that's what I do. I go on every
9/11. And I pick up trash for three days," he said, describing what he finds during these cleanups.
Get a clue. The reason you've got a problem is because of "federal action." Massachusetts
gov declares state of emergency due to surge of migrants, calls for federal action.
Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey on Tuesday declared a state of emergency in the liberal state
over a surge of migrants that she says has left social services overwhelmed, and she called for
more funding and help from the federal government. Healey, a Democrat, announced that a state
of emergency exists "due to rapid and unabating increases in the number of families with children
and pregnant people — many of them newly arriving migrants and refugees —
living within the state but without the means to secure safe shelter in our communities." The
state said there are nearly 5,600 families or more than 20,000 people in the state shelter system.
Healey said there are numerous contributing factors, including "federal policies on immigration and
work authorization" as well as a lack of affordable housing and the end of COVID-era programs.
Joe
Biden increased pathways for migrants into the U.S. — and created a new border
surge. Once upon a time, New York City's top urban planning strongman, Robert Moses,
built highways and bridges across and into New York City, aiming to stop traffic congestion.
Moses is why New York City has the Triborough Bridge, the Brooklyn-Battery Link, Interstate 278,
the Cross Bronx Expressway, and many other passageways. He built them all, and then he built
some more. And as every journalism student, having read Robert Caro's The Power Broker, would
know, Moses was astonished. Instead of less traffic coming into Manhattan from the outer
boroughs and beyond — there was more. Manhattan became more traffic-congested than
ever as a result, and lots of neighborhoods were ruined, too, divided and corrupted by the roaring
overhead highways. This curiously corresponds exactly to what we are seeing at the border
right now — a new migrant surge, coming in the wake of Joe Biden's expansion of what he
claims are new, expanded, legal pathways for illegal immigrants to get into the country solely on
their claims to asylum.
Biden
admin. removing 1,100 troops from US-Mexico border, official says. The Pentagon is
removing 1,100 active duty military troops from the southern border after deploying additional
troops earlier this year in preparation for the end of Title 42 restrictions. According to
The Associated Press, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved the military to deploy 1,500 active
duty members to the southern border in May for a 90-day period in response to the migration surge
that accompanied the end of Title 42 asylum prohibitions. The 90-day mission will conclude on
Aug. 8 for 1,100 active duty troops on the southern border, while 400 remaining troops will stay
at the border until the end of August, according to an anonymous defense official.
Open
Borders Creating Bidenvilles of Homelessness. Who Saw That Coming? A year ago,
I wrote about the obvious connection between illegal immigration and homelessness in U.S.
cities. Since then, encounters with inadmissible aliens at the border have remained at more
than 150,000 a month, often over 200,000. Of these, perhaps half are being released into the
country, either under the charade of a "removal process" under U.S. immigration law or one of
President Joe Biden's many made-up parole-a-palooza programs. [...] New York's dense population and
high rents make it harder to hide the homeless than in cities more spread out. With his
city's shelters full, Adams has rented hundreds of hotels and opened dozens of emergency
facilities, from churches to parking lots, to house supposed asylum-seekers. He's even tried
to pay private homeowners to put them up. It'll never be enough, as he now seems to understand.
Illinois
Gov. J.B. Pritzker Signs Law Allowing DACA Illegal Aliens to Police Americans.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) has signed into law a plan that allows foreign nationals with
work permits, some of whom are illegal aliens, to become police officers in the sanctuary
state. Democrat legislators, with a supermajority in the Illinois House and Senate, passed
legislation in June that opens law enforcement jobs to thousands of illegal aliens enrolled in the
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program as well as thousands of other foreign
nationals with work permits from the federal government.
Illegal
Aliens with Work Authorization Now Permitted to Become Police Officers in Illinois.
It may be entirely possible in Illinois now for a police officer to demand to see your papers for
identity compliance even though that police officer may be an illegal alien who broke U.S. law to
enter the United States. Under a bill recently signed by Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker,
illegal aliens can now become police officers. The downstream ramifications of this effort
are not difficult to imagine. As if the crisis of confidence in the U.S. legal and law
enforcement system was not under enough pressure, the reality of lawbreaking foreign nationals and
border crossers now controlling law enforcement is a rather remarkable escalation in social fracture.
Mayor
Eric Adams Awards Millions to Medical Company to Bus Border Crossers Out of NYC. New
York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) has reportedly thrown hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars at a
medical company, tasked previously with testing for COVID-19, to bus border crossers and illegal
aliens out of the sanctuary city. Since the spring of last year, more than 90,000 border
crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in New York City. Adams has long criticized Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott (R) for busing migrants to the sanctuary city, but recent reports reveal he
has started a nearly identical busing program.
It
would have been better if they had stayed in Mexico. Upon taking office, the Biden
administration killed the "stay in Mexico" policy. They claimed that their approach was more
humanitarian but were never forced to explain from "the basement" what that actually meant.
Two years later, we know that it meant opening the border and handing people a court date and hope
that they show up for the hearing. Yesterday, a judge halted another of the Biden
administration's ideas.
Texas
Has Seized More Than 422 Million Lethal Doses of Fentanyl Since 2021, Governor Says.
Texas officials have seized more than 422 million lethal doses of fentanyl since the launch of the
state's Operation Lone Star program in March 2021, governor Greg Abbott announced on Friday.
"Operation Lone Star continues to fill the dangerous gaps created by the Biden Administration's
refusal to secure the border," Abbott's office said. "Every individual who is apprehended or
arrested and every ounce of drugs seized would have otherwise made their way into communities
across Texas and the nation due to President Joe Biden's open border policies." Abbott said
in a statement that the program has also led to 394,200 illegal-immigrant apprehensions and 31,300
criminal arrests.
Sanctuary
State California Gov. Gavin Newsom to Spend $4.5M on Lawyers for Illegal Aliens.
The sanctuary state of California will soon spend $4.5 million on providing free lawyers to illegal
aliens working on farms thanks to a plan by Gov. Gavin Newsom (D). Newsom announced the
pilot program this week, which will see $4.5 million in state taxpayer money shifted to lawyers who
are helping illegal alien farmworkers involved in labor investigations. "This new program
includes case review services, legal advice, and representation by an attorney — all at
no cost to farmworkers seeking assistance," a press release states of the pilot program.
Fifth
bus of illegal aliens arrives in Los Angeles from Texas. Two more migrant buses
arrived in Los Angeles Saturday from Texas. Governor Abbott seems to be accelerating the free
transportation provided to illegal aliens detained in Texas to sanctuary cities across the
country. Los Angeles is the focus now. Previous bus trips transporting illegal aliens
to other cities include Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Denver.
Governor Abbott said he will not quit offering them a free ride to cities outside of Texas as long
as the southern border is porous and not being secured by the federal government. The buses
transfer small groups of people so the sanctuary cities are not overwhelmed like Texas border
communities are. On Saturday, two buses arrived at Union Station with 48 migrants
aboard. That number includes 18 minors.
41
Percent Of Illegal Immigrant Group Biden Admin Released Into US Never Showed Up For Court
Dates. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) has yet to issue
court summons for about 82 percent of the illegal immigrants it allowed into the United States
after a federal court ordered a halt on a Biden administration immigration parole program. In
May, Judge T. Kent Wetherell II of Florida's Northern federal court district issued a temporary
restraining order (TRO), blocking the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from releasing
noncitizens into the United States through the Biden administration's "Parole with Conditions"
(PWC) policy. The PWC policy allowed for illegal immigrants to be paroled into the United
States under the expectation that they'd check in with ICE within 60 days and receive a Notice to
Appear (NTA), which would initiate court proceedings for them to be removed from the United States.
NYC
Posts Fliers at Southern Border Discouraging Illegal Immigrants from Coming to City.
New York City has begun distributing English and Spanish fliers at the southern border warning
asylum seekers that there is "there is no guarantee we will be able to provide shelter and services
to new arrivals." NYC Mayor Eric Adams explained the policy on Wednesday by noting simply that
"We have no more room in the city." Roughly 55,000 migrants are currently under the City's
care. Add the homeless population, and the total number of people currently sheltered in city
jumps past 105,000. Adams also announced policy changes designed to make space for families
with children in NYC housing. The city will now require single adult migrants to reapply for
housing after 60 days.
First of all, they aren't "asylum seekers," they're welfare seekers. Mayor
Eric Adams says New York City no longer has room to shelter asylum seekers. There are
new developments in New York City's struggle to house recently arrived asylum seekers. Mayor
Eric Adams said Wednesday the city has been carrying the weight of the nation's crisis and now
there is no longer space for new people coming in, citing the absence of state or federal
aid. He said he has put a plan in place that will begin in the next couple of days to help
move current migrants out of shelters to make space for families arriving with children.
Really? How many have been invited to live in the Governor's house? Massachusetts
Calls on Residents to Take Border Crossers into Their Homes. Massachusetts officials
are now asking residents to take border crossers and illegal aliens into their homes as illegal
immigration continues adding to the state's homeless population. Gov. Maura Healey (D)
is calling on residents with empty bedrooms in their homes and apartments to consider taking in
border crossers and illegal aliens, WBUR reports: [...] Healey's wanting to house border crossers
and illegal aliens in residents' private homes comes as the state is paying for nearly 40 hotels
and motels across the state to house new arrivals — at taxpayers' expense. As
Boston Herald columnist Howie Carr noted, Healey has not sent border crossers and illegal
aliens to nearly any of the "millionaire destinations" in Massachusetts — like
Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Cambridge, or Newburyport.
Key
findings about U.S. immigrants. The U.S. foreign-born population reached a record
44.8 million in 2018. Since 1965, when U.S. immigration laws replaced a national quota
system, the number of immigrants living in the U.S. has more than quadrupled. Immigrants
today account for 13.7% of the U.S. population, nearly triple the share (4.8%) in 1970.
The
bizarre daily struggle between Texas DPS and Border Patrol pits agencies against each
other. There is a daily struggle going on along the Rio Grande River but it may not
be the one you are thinking about. It's not the usual struggle between Border Patrol agents
and migrants crossing the border illegally. It a battle between the Texas Department of
Public Safety (DPS) and Border Patrol. Illegal immigration is a federal responsibility.
However, we know that Joe Biden and DHS Secretary Mayorkas have created a border crisis that this
country has never seen before, thanks to the administration's neglect. Millions of illegal
aliens are living in the United States now that were not before Joe Biden was inaugurated.
Border states have been left to fend for themselves. Biden refuses to close the border so it
is up to border states to manage the crisis. Texas taxpayers, for example, are on the hook to
the tune of several billion dollars to provide the migrants with the services they need and for the
state to secure the border. Those services include shelter, food, medical care, and school
for children.
French
riots show the future of Joe Biden's America. Over the past few weeks, France has
been engulfed in riots after a 17-year-old boy was shot and killed by a police officer during a
traffic stop. The rioting and looting have largely been centered in communities with many
migrants from North African and Islamic nations. The rioting has caused more than one billion
dollars in property damage, and has led to thousands of arrests. It has also led to a renewed
debate in Europe about the costs of mass migration and whether or not those costs are worth
it. It's not just the U.S. that has experienced an influx of foreign nationals in recent
years. France took in a record number of migrants in 2022, both legal and illegal. [...] The
crassness of these migrants certainly isn't representative of everybody seeking to come from the
third world to prosperous western nations, but it is indicative of a larger problem with mass
immigration. Many of these foreign nationals come from countries where violence and chaos has
been normalized, and the importation of migrants from these types of countries can also serve to
normalize the same type of disorder in their new countries.
Democrats
in Massachusetts Look to Give Voting Rights to Foreign Nationals. Democrat legislators
in Massachusetts are looking to give foreign nationals on green cards the right to vote in municipal
elections. A series of bills filed by Democrat legislators in the Massachusetts House and Senate
would open municipal voting rights to foreign nationals living in the state on green cards. In
practice, the policy would mean foreign nationals could cast deciding votes in Massachusetts towns
and cities for mayor, school committee, city council, town council, board of selectmen, select board
elections, school committee referendums, local ballot referendums, or other municipal races.
The Editor says...
In a few years, when everybody has accepted this terrible idea, there will be a tiny little incremental
change to allow illegal aliens to vote in every election. By the time the Supreme Court hears
about it, the damage will have been done already.
DHS
Chief Mayorkas Ignores Request to Disclose How Many Illegals Have Been Freed into
U.S.. President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary,
Alejandro Mayorkas, is ignoring a request from Republicans on the House Oversight Committee to
disclose the number of illegal aliens the agency has released directly into American communities
through its massive parole pipeline. As Breitbart News reported, late last month, Republicans
on the House Oversight Committee, led by Reps. James Comer (R-KY) and Glenn Grothman (R-WI),
asked Mayorkas to provide a total numerical accounting of illegal aliens DHS has released into the
United States interior through the administration's expansive parole pipeline.
Liberals'
'Solutions' for Illegal Immigration [and] Shoplifting Only Make Matters Worse. The
Biden administration wants increased and easier immigration. While most Americans support
reasonable legal immigration, they reject unlimited numbers via open borders. Last year, a
majority of Americans polled thought there was an "invasion" on the border. U.S. immigration
process was built in layers of law over decades. Reforming it is hard. Reaching
consensus is rare. Neither those favoring restriction nor those favoring expansion are ever
satisfied. Past presidential administrations did the best they could, mostly enforcing the
law, but occasionally inventing legally dubious programs like family-reunification parole for
Cubans (2007) and Haitians (2014) or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (2012). But for
President Joe Biden, restraint is a dirty word. Not content merely to release inadmissible
border crossers pending far-off court dates, the administration has ignored the law and invented an
entire parallel migration system, a sort of Upside Down of what they call "lawful pathways" to let
people in on parole.
House
Republicans Call for Defunding Mayorkas's Salary Over Border Crisis. House
Republicans are contemplating legislation that would eliminate Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas's salary in response to mistrust over the failure to enforce the U.S. southern
border. Republican legislators are now insisting that Mr. Mayorkas's salary be part of
the impending government funding dispute. Among those Republicans is Rep. Nancy Mace
(R-S.C.), who said in a July 11 statement, confirmed by her office to The Epoch Times, that the
House's majority party was ready for Biden administration cabinet members to "do their jobs."
"People are sick of inaction against elected officials who betray their oath and refuse to do their
jobs. Congress is given the power of the purse by the Constitution, and if the president's
Cabinet secretaries won't do their jobs, we should consider using any tool, including the Holman
Rule, to defund them and their ability to do further damage," Ms. Mace said.
Illegal
Immigration and Western Spiritual Sickness. The usual suspects have weighed in on
recent belated efforts to enforce U.S. immigration laws. Our now bankrupt media, the corrupt
government of Mexico, and the Diversity/Equity/Inclusion apparat have damned a series of laws
recently passed by the Florida legislature and signed by Governor Ron DeSantis that enforce
existing federal immigration laws. Such critics seem oblivious to the current violence that
is paralyzing Europe in general, and in particular France — as if such European chaos
offers no lessons for the U.S. or any other salad-bowl, open-borders Western nation. Florida
decided no longer to provide de facto and illegal exemptions to foreign nationals who entered and
now reside in the state illegally. [...] No one is now arguing that Florida is breaking any laws by
enforcing them. Again, the outrage is instead over the state's legal adherence to the
law. No one privately believes the illegal aliens affected by the new enforcement are
euphemistically merely "undocumented migrants." In truth, illegal aliens never sought nor
possessed nor intended to possess immigration "documents" in the first place, although millions of
would-be law-abiding immigrants easily do just that. Instead, they have shown contempt for U.S.
laws and those who made and enforced them. So "illegal alien" is precisely the correct term.
Who
is paying for all these illegal aliens? Entering the USA improperly is a crime.
The first illegal entry is a misdemeanor; any subsequent entry is a felony. Every illegal
alien becomes a criminal simply by entering the country. The ideological left is crowing that
the administration scored a "victory" in United States v. Texas. On June 23,
the Supreme Court stated that the administration can set priorities when deciding which illegal
aliens to prosecute. But the Court also issued an opinion in United States
v. Hansen. That is a more interesting opinion — not that this
administration has any intention of abiding by it. Side note: Before anyone objects to
the term "alien," that is the word Congress uses in the Immigration and Nationality
Act — officially Title 8, Aliens and Nationality, of the U.S. Code. The
word "alien" appears in Title 8 more than a thousand times; the phrase "illegal alien"
32 times. When Congress changes its terminology, I will consider changing mine.
Why
Are Georgia Republican Legislators Proposing In-State Tuition For Illegal Aliens?
This week Breitbart reported on the group of four Georgia Republican House members who, along with
two democrats Tran (D) and Marin (D), are pushing HB 131. The bill is positioned as a
"Workforce" bill, which sounds like a nice thing. However opponents ask why, with limited
space in college classes, we would consider making it more difficult and perhaps more expensive for
a U.S. citizen to attend these Colleges, while incenting non-U.S. citizens to take the seats at
potentially lower cost. Another factor would be the additional illegal aliens such a move
could draw into Georgia to take advantage of such a law.
Biden
administration increases the number of migrants allowed into the U.S. to claim asylum each day
using CBP One mobile app. US Customs and Border Protection is again expanding the
number of migrants it allows into the US at the Mexico border via its CBP One mobile app. The
federal agency said it will now allow 1,450 migrants to book appointments each day via the app,
which enables migrants to register asylum claims and enter the US. Asylum seekers that show
up at the border without having secured an appointment are subject to a 'common-sense condition'
and will likely will be turned away.
The Editor says...
Nonsense. How many illegal aliens are "turned away" at the border? I'm guessing the number is somewhere near zero.
Analysis:
Biden's 'Got-Away Tsunami' Imports Illegal Alien Population the Size of Philadelphia.
In less than three years, President Joe Biden's "got-away tsunami" has imported an illegal alien
population the size of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a new analysis detailed. From Fiscal Year
2021 to April 2023, less than three full fiscal years, Biden's policies at the United States-Mexico
border have allowed more than 1.5 million illegal aliens to successfully cross into the nation's
interior undeterred by federal officials. The massive "got-away tsunami," as detailed by
Andrew Arthur of the Center for Immigration Studies, is triple the got-away inflow that occurred
under former President Trump from Fiscal Year 2017 to Fiscal Year 2020 when there were about
521,000 illegal alien got-aways.
Biden's
Feds Cut Through Razor Wire Placed By Texas Authorities To Let Illegals Into U.S..
U.S. Border Patrol agents allegedly cut through razor wire placed by Texas law enforcement
officials on the southern to let illegal aliens enter the country, according to new video.
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin shared a video on Twitter of the incident, which he said
occured on private property, according to officials with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
"Video from source in Eagle Pass shows Border Patrol cutting through razor wire placed by the
state of TX to allow migrants to enter & be processed after crossing illegally," Melugin said.
"[The Texas Department of Public Safety] tells me this is the first time they know of this
happening, and that it's being looked into for potential destruction of TX property." "The
federal government's position is that once migrants are on U.S. soil, under U.S. law, they need to
be processed, and cannot be repelled or turned away," he continued.
NYC
Milestone: Migrants Outnumber New Yorkers in Homeless Shelters. New York City Mayor
Eric Adams (D) has brought the city to a new milestone with border crossers and illegal aliens now
outnumbering New Yorkers in homeless shelters. According to NBC New York, the city's homeless
shelters are filled more with newly arrived border crossers and illegal aliens than New Yorkers,
the latest figures reveal. "The tipping point took place Sunday, when 50,000 migrants were in
the City's care, outnumbering the 49,700 local shelter residents," NBC New York reports[.]
Declare
War on the Mexican Cartels Now. Communist China has been conducting a hybrid war
against its main enemy, the United States of America, for years. There are multiple fronts in
that war, including economic warfare, diplomatic intimidation ("wolf warriors"), espionage, elite
capture, suborning international institutions (the World Health Organization), social media (TikTok
cultural warfare), etc. A key front that is frequently overlooked — and
downplayed — by the Biden administration is the flood of China-sourced fentanyl and
other opiates into the US.
What
the Left Has Left for America. The southern border is a mere construct created by
fascists to exclude the Other. Its removal fast tracks a new demography, dependent on leftist
largess and eager to reciprocate with loyalty at the polls. The triumphalism of the slogans
touting a "New Democratic Majority" and "Demography is Destiny" sanctifies the reality that
citizenship is defunct and mere residency has replaced it with all its former rights, but none of
its erstwhile responsibilities.
The
Cartels are allied with Corporate Fascists, Greens, the Hard Left and the CCP. The
city of Vancouver was built by serious Christians, who believed in, as first principle, service to
others. They built the city to take in the dispossessed, to lift up humanity, to spread
peace. [...] It is now a cesspit of crime, drugs, human trafficking, child sex and money
laundering. We launder most of the drug money in North America. The city has been taken
over by a consortium of cartels, Asian and Mexican, who own through their funding of a
proliferation of social justice activist groups, members of the city council, the judiciary, as
well as members of the provincial and federal government, particularly those in immigration who
rubber stamp the papers of the worst criminals from across the Asian world. They are all here
now. The pickings are just too good. You are next on their list.
No,
the border crisis hasn't abated. Following the end of Title 42 last month, the
predicted increase in illegal border crossings from their already ridiculous levels never fully
materialized. And for a time, there was even a dip in the numbers. This left the
administration "crowing" over the reports. The administration's plan was "working as
intended," we were told. It was a "major victory" for the White House in the face of MAGA
"misinformation" about how bad things were on the southern border. And most of the legacy
media ate up these tales. But a closer look at the actual data tells a very different story.
Nearly
17 Million Illegal Aliens in the United States Cost Americans $163 Billion Annually. The
nation's illegal alien population has hit nearly 17 million, an increase of more than two million
since President Joe Biden began implementing his Catch and Release network at the United States–Mexico
border, an analysis reveals. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) released its
annual report estimating the size of the illegal alien population residing in the United States.
Supreme
Court Strikes Down Texas' Challenge to Biden Border Policy. The Supreme Court Friday
struck down Texas and Louisiana's legal challenge to new Biden administration border policies that
violate federal statutes and harm citizens in Texas and Louisiana, the states argued. All
justices besides Samuel Alito concurred in the opinion that Texas and Louisiana lack standing to
challenge the new rules, which the Department of Homeland Security promulgated in 2021. Texas
and Louisiana argued that federal law requires law enforcement to arrest certain noncitizens upon
their release from prison or entry of a final order of removal, but the new DHS rule only
prioritizes the arrest and removal of noncitizens who are suspected terrorists or dangerous
criminals who unlawfully entered the country recently. The states claimed that these rules
harmed them by imposing extra costs by requiring them to continue to incarcerate or supply social
services — such as health care and education — to noncitizens.
Supreme
Court allows Biden administration to limit immigration arrests, ruling against states. The
Supreme Court on Friday cleared the way for the Biden administration to reinstate rules that instruct
Immigration and Customs Enforcement to focus its deportation efforts in the U.S. interior on immigrants
with serious criminal convictions and those deemed to threaten national security. The court found
that Texas and Louisiana, the two states that challenged the administration's guidelines, lacked standing
to bring the suit, formally known as United States v. Texas. The ruling was 8-1, with only
Justice Samuel Alito dissenting. Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the opinion for the majority, joined
by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Justices Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas and Amy Coney Barrett concurred in the judgment, with Gorsuch and
Barrett contributing opinions of their own.
The
U.S. Transitions from Superpower to Migrant Colony. While Joe Biden and his team of
anti-borders radicals have been busy turning our country into a make-a-wish charity for the rest of
the world's population, it seems little, if any, thought was given to where all these newcomers
would reside. Most of our larger cities, which illegal aliens tend to live in or near, appear
beyond capacity due to the White House-engineered border stampede. As even the most
doctrinaire sanctuary mayors are now waving surrender flags, an alternative plan has become
necessary. The solution? Third World-style shanty towns in places like rural Liberty
County near Houston. Already home to more than 75,000 migrants, a community called "Colony
Ridge" is undergoing a massive expansion with huge tracts of land being clear-cut to create more
living space. Apparently it's not considered ecosystem-killing deforestation if it's done to
deposit more illegal aliens into America.
It's also known as "bluffing." Eric
Adams Says Offer To House Migrants In Gracie Mansion Was Just Symbolic. Democratic
New York City Mayor Eric Adams backtracked on his vow to house migrants in Gracie Mansion on
Thursday, saying that the "symbolism" of his offer spoke volumes. Adams said earlier in June
that he'd welcome migrants into the five-room Gracie Mansion if city lawyers approved it, but
backtracked Thursday during a press conference with reporters. "Leading the challenge of the
migrant problem is both substantive and symbolic and as I always said, 'Good generals lead from the
front,'" Adams said, according to the New York Post. "They don't send their troops into battle
and ask, 'How was the war?' They lead them into battle. The symbolism of saying, 'I'm
willing to put a homeless family in Gracie' is that symbolism."
Trump's
Indictment and the Collapse of Confidence in Our Institutions. While Kamala Harris
fumbles her fruitless search for the "root causes" of migration, her administration has erected a
big flashing sign essentially reading, "Welcome, Neighbor. Come on in. We're not really
trying to keep you out." They mouth the words "don't come," but inaction speaks louder than
words. And come they have, individuals from poor countries looking to move up to the First
World. Yet the welcome sign is equally attractive to organized criminal gangs looking to tap
the market for fentanyl and heroin, child labor, and sex workers. When these illegal
immigrants arrive, millions have been released, willy-nilly, into America and told to return in a
few years for a court date. Their claims for political asylum will be heard at that distant
date and almost always rejected. But why bother to return for the court date at all?
You aren't likely to be caught and, even if you are, you can simply cross the border again.
After
the surge, ready for the shantytowns? Some five million foreign nationals have been
let into the U.S. based on Joe Biden's open border policies. They have to live
somewhere. Many, and perhaps most, do not have U.S. sponsors. There's no plan of action
for what to do about five million migrants from the Biden administration other than to let them
stay. New York City, where some 60,000 have arrived, is stretched the the breaking point with
the caring and feeding of that many newcomers. At some point, there is no place to put
them. Housing on their own economic muscle is generally out of the question —
because it's the same for ordinary Americans. But they still have to live somewhere.
And now suddenly, we're seeing where — in the emergence of shantytowns now beginning to
ring America's major cities such as Houston, making them resemble Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Mexico
City, Caracas, Medellin, Lima, Quito, San Pedro Sula, and other places — all of which
have nice ritzy centers, housing for the rich and upper middle classes, and endless rings of
shantytowns in the hillsides and valleys outside these big cities where the desperately poor live
in tin-roof hovels, some precariously positioned on cliffs, with no flush toilets, no running
water, no paved roads, no electricity or only pilfered electricity from power lines to power the
television sets and sometimes refrigerators inside.
Why
Legal Immigration Is Nearly Impossible. America traditionally had few immigration
restrictions, but since the 1920s, the law has banned most aspiring immigrants. Today, fewer
than 1 percent of people who want to move permanently to the United States can do so legally.
Immigrants cannot simply get an exception to immigrate any more than restaurateurs in the 1920s
could simply get an exception to sell alcohol. Instead, just as Prohibition granted only a
few exemptions for religious, industrial, or medical uses of alcohol, people seeking an exception
to immigration prohibition must also fit into preexisting carve-outs for a select few.
FEMA
to Give $363.8 Million to Non-Federal Entities to Provide Shelter for Illegal Aliens.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), under the guise of humanitarian concern, has enacted
the "Shelter and Services Program," funneling $363.8 million of taxpayers' money in the fiscal year
2023 to non-federal entities, claiming to support the U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the
"safe, orderly, and humane release" of illegal immigrants.
New
York lawmakers rebuke Biden, FAA for agreeing to house migrants at JFK building.
Several members of New York's Republican congressional delegation on Wednesday [6/7/2023] signed
onto a scathing letter sent to the heads of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey condemning the decision to house migrants at John F.
Kennedy International Airport. The letter, authored by Rep. Anthony D'Esposito and
co-signed by Reps. Elise Stefanik, Nick Langworthy, Marc Molinaro, Claudia Tenney, Nick
LaLota, Andrew Garbarino, Brandon Williams and Mike Lawler, denounces the move to open an emergency
shelter for arriving migrants in an old postal warehouse at JFK. "The recent decision by the
FAA and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to house illegal migrants at JFK Airport poses
both a security threat to one of America's largest transportation hubs and represents the palpable
failure of the Biden Administration's disastrous border policies," D'Esposito told The [New York]
Post in a statement on Wednesday.
The Editor says...
There are multiple reasons to oppose this idea, including these: [#1] Most of the people
being sheltered and fed are here illegally and should be deported. They are non-citizens living
here at the expense of the citizens. [#2] Even the federal government will run out of
spare buildings before the supply of illegal aliens is exhausted. [#3] The government is
not really providing "housing" for these inconvenient visitors. The "old postal warehouse" was
not designed to be a dormitory, and doesn't have enough cooking and sanitation facilities for hundreds
of residents.
Migrants
exploit loophole in border app to enter US without asylum appointments. Migrants have
already found a loophole allowing them to hand themseleves over at the border and claim asylum
without making an appointment through the CBP One app — which could effectively open the
floodgates for thousands more to turn up at the southern border. The mobile immigration app
was trumpeted by the Biden Administration as the only legal pathway for asylum-seekers after Title 42
ended in May. It allows 1,000 people a day to cross into the US and claim asylum. After
failing to secure an appointment on his own, Cesar Segura read the application's fine print —
which states if "language barriers, illiteracy or technical issues," stop a person from completing the
process online, they can just show up to a US port of entry in person and request an interview
according to Border Report.
If you're putting them on airplanes, send them to Costa Rica! Another
Plane Carrying Migrants Arrives in Sacramento. Another plane carrying migrants
arrived in Sacramento on Monday, and California officials believe they came from Florida. The
plane carrying about 20 migrants arrived on Monday in Sacramento after more than a dozen South
American migrants were flown on a charter jet from New Mexico over the weekend. "Documents
carried by the migrants appear to show that the weekend flight was arranged through the Florida
Division of Emergency Management and that it was part of the state's program to relocate migrants,
mostly from Texas, to other states, California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta said," reported the
Los Angeles Times.
The
Border Crisis Is Overwhelming Schools In Some Of America's Most Populated Cities. The
crisis at the southern border is overwhelming school systems in several metropolitan areas of the
country, according to multiple reports. New York City, Miami-Dade County, Denver and Chicago
school systems have all had to adapt to the influx of migrants, according to reports. Border
Patrol recorded more than 632,000 encounters of migrant families and unaccompanied children in
fiscal year 2022 at the southern border and more than 365,000 in the first seven months of fiscal
year 2023, according to federal data.
The Editor says...
The majority of the new arrivals are here illegally. We have no obligation to admit them to the public schools.
FAA
Greenlights Plan to Allow Illegal Immigrants to Be Housed at JFK Airport. This week,
the Federal Aviation Administration signed off on plans to open an emergency relief shelter for
illegal immigrants in an old postal warehouse at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New
York. According to the New York Post, the FAA signed off on the Port Authority plans to open
the shelter after local and state officials searched the city and surrounding areas for new places
to house illegal immigrants coming from the southern border. According to the outlet, the
area has seen more than 70,000 people arrive from South and Central America. "The Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey asked if an old postal warehouse near JFK Airport could be
used for non-aviation purposes," the FAA said in a statement. "The FAA found that the Port
Authority had adequate security and safety plans in place." [Tweet]
With
Cities Running Out of Room to House Them, Biden Increases the Number of Asylum-seekers Allowed Into
the U.S.. The Biden Administration has made sure there isn't a visible problem with
asylum seekers and illegal aliens at the border. They've invented a way to process
individuals in record time so that up to 1,250 a day can be allowed into the country. It's a
phone app known as CBP One and since it was introduced in January, as many as 120,000 people have
entered the country simply by accessing the app and scheduling an appointment with border patrol to
see if their asylum claim is valid. CBP One allows asylum seekers and illegal aliens to get
around rules that are supposed to allow the CBP to vet the new arrivals to make sure they aren't
criminals or terrorists. Processing 1,250 illegal aliens a day should not be anyone's ideal
of "vetting" anybody.
College
Is Now Free For Illegals In Minnesota. In an unprecedented move, the state of
Minnesota has unveiled its "North Star Promise" program, offering free college tuition to all
residents whose families earn less than $80,000 annually, irrespective of their immigration
status. While some celebrate this as an inclusive initiative, it raises pertinent questions
about the fairness, fiscal responsibility, and potential long-term consequences of such a
policy. The program's eligibility criteria offer another point of contention. To
qualify, students must graduate from a Minnesota high school, live in the state for at least
12 months without being enrolled in college more than half-time, and maintain good academic standing.
The Editor says...
That's how it starts, anyway. Pretty soon, the part about "good academic standing" will
be long forgotten, and the $80,000 annual income ceiling will be raised.
It's
Now or Never. America has its southern border and Canada has its Roxham Road.
The U.S. is suffering far more than this country, but when one considers a proportionate census, we
are doing our best to catch up. The agreement between Joe Biden and Justin Trudeau to stanch
the northern flow of migrants and refugees is, realistically speaking, a mere paper
concession. The real and ongoing intention is clearly to dilute a cohesive citizenry and
render the nation a stranger to itself, easy pickings for subversion. [...] Once the nation is
dispossessed of faith, family and coherent borders, the devastation will be complete.
'We've
Been Abandoned': Border Ranchers Recount Chaos On Southern Border. Wayne King might
have a window into America's future, and he doesn't like what he sees. King, a rancher with
8,000 acres in Texas' Del Rio Border Patrol Sector, believes that Americans, especially those who
live on the border, have been abandoned. It doesn't quite feel like you're in Texas anymore
when you enter King's 8,000 acres. Rather than cows and sheep, the ranch boasts gazelle,
wildebeest, and other exotic African game animals. King, who leads African safari hunting
tours on the ranch, has been forced to spend an increasing amount of time ensuring the wild African
game doesn't escape onto the highway, repairing fencing that's been cut by illegal border crossers
who come through the ranch.
Can
the Consequences of Mass Migration be Reversed? Although voices such as that of the
John Birch Society have long been ringing the alarm bell on the disastrous effects that mass
migration — both legal and illegal — have had on the American polity, for so
long, it was something of a taboo topic even within the Republican Party. Most Republicans
prior to 2016 constantly felt the compulsion to qualify their support for immigration enforcement
with a call for a "compassionate" path to citizenship. Now, the party, and the conservative
movement as a whole, have become much more "hardline" on immigration. Conversations about
crime, drugs, welfare spending, degradation of the quality of our schools and public services, and
demographic changes resulting from unchecked migration are all now issues that we can talk about in
the mainstream without beating around the bush. Although definitive action has not yet
followed, at least the national conversation has shifted in the right direction.
California
Senate Approves $300 Weekly Checks for Unemployed Illegals. The California Senate on
Tuesday voted to pay $300 weekly checks to unemployed illegal immigrants even as the state faces a
roughly $31.5 billion deficit and mass illegal immigration. Democratic state senators
passed Senate Bill 227 by Sen. María Elena Durazo (D.) with a 30-7 vote, sending the
measure to the Assembly for approval. The legislation would offer undocumented aliens up to
20 weeks of unemployment benefits if they meet minimal work requirements. California's
unemployment insurance fund, which was defrauded of some $31 billion during the COVID-19
pandemic, would be in charge of dispensing the checks. California employers are on the hook
for the fund's $20 billion debt in the form of higher payroll taxes that threaten employee-heavy
small businesses and restaurants already devastated by California Democrats' strict COVID-19 lockdowns.
The Editor says...
Illegal aliens should be subject to deportation at any moment, especially if they are unemployed parasites,
and any job they get is a job that a U.S. citizen should have first refused. On the other hand, pending
deportation, no matter what you think of them, they've gotta eat. How much will $300 buy in California?

The
Party's Over. Our bill of particulars for Impeachment can have many clauses, but
there is no need to go any further than the President's clear refusal to enforce existing
immigration laws for more than two years, and to invite and allow a literal invasion on our
southern border. This has caused manifest harms and damages to our entire nation, not least
of which have been the proximate cause of nearly 200,000 deaths of American citizens from drugs
like fentanyl flooding across our border. The list of horribles caused by President Biden's
betrayal of our country, its laws, and its citizens, is long and blood soaked. We know that
his illegal actions have resulted in the deaths from exposure, torture, and exploitation of
thousands of individuals drawn by the "promise" of an easy illegal entry into our blessed
land. We know that his actions have enriched the brutal and savage Mexican and South American
cartels to the tune of billions of dollars each month. He has created a pathway, a royal road
leading the worst corruption and destruction, to every doorstep in our nation. We are now
flooded with deadly drugs, child prostitution, deranged criminal gangs and individuals, slave
labor, and untold illnesses and disease.
Biden's
Migrant Mobile App Frees 80K Foreign Nationals into U.S. in 4 Months. President Joe
Biden's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) One mobile app, which allows users to schedule
appointments at the United States-Mexico border, has now helped release nearly 80,000 foreign
nationals into American communities in less than four months. For more than two years,
Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has implemented a number of programs in its expansive
Catch and Release network, including the CBP One mobile app. The mobile app entices foreign
nationals in Mexico who are pregnant, mentally ill, elderly, disabled, homeless, or crime victims
to schedule an appointment with DHS officials at the border in the hopes of being released into
American communities.

Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz to Retire Amid Immigration Turmoil. Border Patrol Chief Raul

retiring at the end of June after serving for 32 years. "I leave at ease, knowing we have a
tremendous uniformed and professional workforce, strong relationships with our union partners, and
outstanding leaders who will continue to tirelessly advocate for you each day. Throughout the
years, my level of commitment to the mission and our great nation has never wavered," Ortiz said.
Illegal
Aliens [are] Throwing Parties in NYC Hotels. In New York City, illegal aliens who are
currently being housed in former hotels have been throwing wild parties during their stays,
according to a former employee of one such facility. According to the Washington Free
Beacon, the former Row NYC Hotel employee, Carlos Arellano, said that "every day, we find about
10 kids alone in their hotel rooms, either drinking or doing drugs, weapons will be in the
room. It's basically a free-for-all." Arellano said that on one occasion, he found a girl
as young as 10 years old intoxicated in a room. He further claims that the staff were ordered
not to intervene whenever they encountered such disturbances, despite concerns among other
employees that some of the illegals are not really parents of the children who accompanied them.
"We're not allowed to go in there," said Arellano. "We're not allowed to take anything from them."

Chicago Residents Freak Out Of The City Approving 51 Million For Illegals. The
Chicago City Council voted Wednesday to spend $51 million in funding from a 2021 budget surplus to
pay for efforts to care for migrants from Central and South America who have been sent here from
Texas, following a heated debate that was repeatedly interrupted by angry protesters. The
vote came one week after three alderpersons opposed to the measure temporarily blocked a final vote
during Mayor Brandon Johnson's first City Council meeting. [Video clip]
Migrant
hotel employee reveals the 'free for all' of drugs, sex and violence. A former worker
at New York's Row Hotel has come forward to reveal the disgusting conditions migrants newly arrived
in Manhattan are keeping their hotel rooms, which the city is footing the bill for. Carlos
Arellano, who no longer works for the once luxury hotel, has described the premises as a 'free for
all' of drugs, sex and violence and should be shut down. Almost all of the 1,300 rooms set
across 28 floors of the hotel have been turned over to host migrants, with the city paying
$500-a-night for the migrants to be housed.
Tom
Homan: Track, Detain, and Deport to Deal with Biden's Border Disaster. There are over
five million illegal immigrants on ICE's non-detained docket, most of whom face years of court
proceedings before a judge determines their immigration fate. This number will continue to
balloon after the Biden administration ended the use of Title 42 deportations on May 11, a
COVID-era policy that allowed the U.S. to immediately expel millions of illegal aliens as a threat
to public health. In the run up to the end of the policy this month, daily border encounters
soared to historic heights, with over 10,000 per day. On May 11, Border Patrol paroled 6,000
migrants to the streets of the United States with no court date even provided, simply relying on
the honor system in the hopes these individuals would proactively check in with ICE at some point
in the future. This policy of mass parole has since been put on temporary hold by a Florida judge.
Reps.
Gooden, Jordan, Demand Answers On Federal Funding Of Illegal Immigration. Congressmen
Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Lance Gooden (R-TX) issued a joint letter calling attention to the potential
use of federal funds to enable illegal immigration into the United States. The letter, which
was issued to the National Board of FEMA's Emergency Food and Shelter program, specifically points
to the role of federally-funded NGOs in the immigration process. "Since President Biden took
office, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials have encountered over five million illegal
aliens. This is a direct consequence of the Biden Administration's policies," a press release
from Gooden states. It goes on to state, "nearly two million illegal aliens have been
released into the U.S. in accordance with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policy." The press
release also highlights the role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) like United Way that
receive federal grants and "reportedly use DHS grant funding through the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) to provide aid to illegal aliens."
Send Them
Back. Only a country that has lost the will to survive would tolerate the invasion
underway all across America. There is no longer a southern border to speak of. From
Arizona to Maine, towns are under siege by a relentless, surging mass of humanity. The lowly
citizen has been trampled underfoot to make lebensraum for the hallowed "asylum seeker," whose
conquering steps are greeted with suppliant knee. These newcomers are an enormous, indefinite
strain on public resources, which must provide schooling, housing, healthcare, and food. They
bring unnecessary and unwanted violence and crime. Nobody actually wants them in their
neighborhoods, including the dopey liberals who vote to bring them here. Life for Americans
is challenging enough, with housing affordability at its worst levels in decades, a dearth of
good-paying jobs, and a recession looming. But as the earth orbits the sun, the Left wrings
its hands and plays hot potato with the mess they created. With the end of Title 42, New York
City is dumping the problem wherever it can, including on more politically moderate suburbs, like
Long Island's east end that didn't vote for Joe Biden or open borders. Large stretches of the
east end are already unrecognizable to lifetime residents after decades of unwanted Third World colonization.
Misplaced
Biden Priorities in the Dept of Defense. Consider these actions, all of which have
made America much weaker: [...] [#2] The wide-open US-Mexican border. Without secure borders
and tightly controlled immigration, there is no US national security. Certainly not when
criminals, would-be terrorists, narco-traffickers, human traffickers, gang-bangers, and other
ne'er-do-wells are free to enter America without fear of incarceration or deportation.
Estimates of nearly 6 million illegal aliens have streamed across the border since Biden reversed
the Trump administration's immigration policies in one of his first actions. Breitbart
reported last October that there have been "5.5 million encounters" along the border, but no one
knows how many people slipped through undetected. The Biden administration is even leveraging
UN dollars to "pre-legalize" illegal immigrants before they enter the US, as reported by the Center
for Immigration Studies. Fentanyl-related deaths in the US have increased to an average of
100,000 per year due to cartel-provided access to the drug (the drug and its precursors are
manufactured in China).
When
it comes to illegal aliens, the left insists that we can't just 'round them up'. As
we're nowhere close to having an accurate estimate of how many illegal aliens have invaded the
United States simply because they wanted to come here, there's no telling what the scope of the
problem will be after the next Republican assumes the White House. Obviously, there's only
one person to date who's made a concerted and effective effort to address the scourge, so let's
dump this on Donald Trump. The left said then and is saying it now: "We just can't round them
all up...." Says who? Maybe, we should give it a shot. After all, despite the
altruistic (and phony) overtures liberals make regarding illegals, things like "sanctuary" cities
and states, their true colors are often shown for all the world to see when the uninvited show up
on their doorsteps. (See, e.g., Martha's Vineyard, New York City, Chicago, etc.)
After
Covid: Twelve Challenges for a Shattered World. [Scroll down] Never
forget that the travel restrictions that began in 2020 kept most of the human population locked in
their nation-state residences for years, even those living on islands that used to be
sanctuaries. The right to visit the US for the "unvaccinated" only resumed on May 11, 2023.
The captivity of the people has also driven a desperate desire to flee and find a new home.
The massive demographic shifts in the US population, out of lockdown states to open states, is
reflected internationally too. With huge populations on the move, states have been forced to
come to terms with migration policies on which there is no political consensus. This problem
is blowing up right now on the US Southern border, leading to tremendous anger that has turned into
a major populist backlash under the impression that the country is being invaded. This is not
going to end well for anyone. The answer has to be a rational and humane immigration policy
that can somehow separate worker rights from voting rights, but the US is not prepared to tackle
that issue as most nations in the world already have. As a result, we toggle between legal
restrictionism and border chaos.
The illegal
alien invasion is being run by the Biden administration. Between Matamoros, Mexico
and Brownsville, Texas lies the Rio Grande river. [...] The Center for Immigration Studies recently
revealed that it was told by Mexican immigration officers that the river crossings were secretly
coordinated with the Department of Homeland Security on Whatsapp so as to be able to expedite the
release of the invaders into America. CIS's Todd Bensman described how, "Once the Americans
felt they could take in more, they message the Mexicans that 'they are ready to receive them.'" And
then "the officers signal to the waiting crowd to go forward and, once they figure enough are in
the water, they cut off the rest and push and cajole them back into line until the Americans signal
they're ready again." What appeared to be the epitome of illegal migration was actually being
run by the government.
Biden's
Reckless Border Policies Are Ruining America. In taking a wrecking ball to President
Trump's effective policies to secure the border, Joe Biden has unleashed an unprecedented crisis of
public safety and national security. A flood of illegals is precipitating an increase in
violent crime and aiding drug- and human-trafficking cartels. It is also adding to the
homeless, burdening government entitlement programs, and spreading disease. Upon taking
office, Biden revoked Trump's order to build a wall along the southern border. He also ended
Trump's "remain in Mexico" policy, the safe third country rule, and most recently (on May 12)
Title 42 restrictions. [...] Biden replaced "remain in Mexico" with a catch-and-release
policy, allowing border crossers to stay in the U.S. until an immigration court resolved their
case, which could take four to seven years. Though Title 42 restrictions remained in
force till May 12, they were applied to only 30% of asylees after Biden took charge, so most
illegal border crossers were released into the country.
The
Cataclysm to Come. Lawlessness has become a political matter where race, ideology,
and politics decide how the law will be enforced. At the border, millions of people enter our
country illegally. Joe Biden is shamefully welcoming an unvetted third-world population into
our country to dilute and displace native-born Americans. No country can exist without a
border, much less allow foreign crime cartels to control it while killing 100,000 citizens with
drugs yearly.

Migrants
to be housed in 6 more NYC school gyms — outraged parents say plan is 'just
insane'. At least six more Big Apple schools are set to start temporarily housing
migrants in their gyms, prompting all hell to break loose Monday among parents frantic over safety
and potential learning disruptions. "To bus people to our school and expect the community to
absorb them is just insane," fumed Virginia Vu, a PTA member and parent at Brooklyn's MS 577
in Williamsburg — adding some parents have already threatened to at least temporarily
pull their kids out of the sixth-through-eighth grade school. "We care about asylum-seekers,
and we're proud our city is a 'sanctuary city' — but housing asylum seekers on school
grounds is absolutely unacceptable," she said. MS 577 shares a gym with
PS 17 — one of five Brooklyn elementary schools to soon have asylum-seekers living
out of their gymnasiums, too, as New York City struggles to cope with the surging migrant crisis,
sources told The [New York] Post.
The Editor says...
Stop calling them "asylum-seekers" if they're only coming here for a lifetime of welfare benefits,
or if they sneaked into this country illegally, or if they passed through several other relatively friendly
countries en route to the U.S., or if they are military-age men from China. And stop
calling New York City a "sanctuary city" if they're looking for ways to get rid of all the
illegal aliens that are now pouring in.
Court
Backlog Clog: It's the Story of Immigration Now and It's Growing Inexorably Worse.
New migrants pouring into the U.S. after the Biden administration let a COVID-19 restriction called
Title 42 expire last week will not break the nation's stretched court system. The system
is already shattered, according to several former judges, immigration experts, and Department of
Homeland Security data. The average wait time for a "Notice to Appear" before a judge at one
of the nation's 66 immigration courts is now four and a half years. In some cities it is much
longer. In New York City, new migrants do not have to appear in court until 2032. This
growing backlog creates an incentive for more people to cross the border and request asylum as each
new case pushes assigned court dates further into the future. In the meantime, many migrants
are permitted to live and work in the United States. "It's well past broken," said Art Arthur,
a former immigration court judge and now a resident fellow at the conservative Center for
Immigration Studies.
For
Decades, Democrats Have Been Ignoring Evidence And Facts. The Democrat party, led by
Liar in Chief Joe Biden, tells us that the American border is secure while Americans watch
thousands of illegal immigrants stream across the border every single day. Those poor "asylum
seekers" are given phones, have to promise to return to court to adjudicate their
cases — sometimes in 5 or 10 years — and are sent on their merry ways.
Of course, many of those never even bother to show up for court. And hundreds of thousands
more are simply released without even being given a court date. To make things even more
ridiculous, while they're busy gaslighting the entire country, Democrats are shivving their single
most solid constituency. Of course, the border is not a new problem. In 1986, Ronald
Reagan signed the Simpson-Mazzoli Act, which granted asylum to 2.7 million illegal aliens in return
for securing the border. Democrats took the asylum and screwed Reagan and the nation on
securing the border. Since then, no president other than Trump has had any interest in
securing the border, and he was stymied at every single turn by Democrats and leftist judges.
The result is that today there are upwards of 40 million illegal aliens in the country, with
millions more crossing the border every year.
The
Border Wall Is Not Looking Like Such A Bad Idea Now, Eh? Ask any casual political
observer about the recent trend of Republican governors busing illegals to Democrat-run sanctuary
cities and you're likely to get the same answer: It's a "stunt." A Republican might agree
with the policy on its face, but would likely concede it is unlikely to make any real difference on
the border. The number of people sent to big cities like New York, Chicago, and D.C. pales in
comparison to the record-breaking flow arriving at the border each day. [...] It's not just a
busing policy, but a busing crisis worthy of big cities declaring a state of emergency. It is
nothing more than a "cruel stunt" that reveals Republicans' extremism. Both Democrats and
Republicans are wrong however; the strategy is in fact much more than a "stunt." Busing migrants to
major Democratic strongholds has actually achieved a concrete GOP political goal: it has created a
political wedge between major figures in the Democratic party.
Judge
Blocks NYC from Pawning Off Border Crossers on Upstate Suburbs. A New York Supreme
Court judge has blocked New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) from busing any more border crossers and
illegal aliens to Orange County, New York, a decision that comes after a judge blocked the city
from sending new arrivals to Rockland County, New York. On Tuesday, a New York judge granted
Orange County officials' request for a temporary restraining order blocking a plan by Adams to bus
hundreds, potentially thousands, of border crossers and illegal aliens to the county and put them
up in hotels, paid for by New Yorkers. This is the second temporary restraining order that
judges have hit Adams with over his plan to bus migrants to New York's upstate suburbs. Last
week, in Rockland County, a judge blocked migrants from being bused by the city to the area.

congressional districts. Texas had the highest density of illegals followed by Oklahoma.

How
to Deal With the Millions of Migrants Now in the US? Republican members of Congress
want to deport as many illegal immigrants as possible to manage the impacts of the border crisis on
the interior of the U.S., several told the Daily Caller News Foundation. Reps. Byron
Donalds of Florida, Mark Green of Tennessee and Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania believe that Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE) should be able to go out and arrest individuals for the sole reason
that they're illegally present in the country, they told the DCNF. The Biden administration changed
ICE's priorities to only arrest and deport individuals deemed threats to national security, public
safety and border security. "This is the unfortunate tragedy of Joe Biden's strategy.
His strategy is to just bring a deluge of people into the country around our immigration law.
So, unfortunately, what you're really going to have to do at some point if people ignore their
court hearings, you're gonna have to deport them," Donalds told the DCNF.
Border
Patrol paroled 2,500 migrants after judge's ruling halting program. Homeland Security
paroled roughly 2,500 migrants into the U.S. from the southern border on Friday, according to a
department source. A day earlier, a judge issued a temporary restraining order against the
Border Patrol's use of parole to catch and release the wave of migrants cresting along the U.S.-Mexico
boundary. Judge T. Kent Wetherell's order, which the Biden administration is appealing, was in
effect Friday. It's unclear what authority the government used for the new paroles.
UK
Could See Over One Million Migrants This Year, Report Claims. More than one million
migrants could end up arriving in Britain this year, a report on Friday has claimed. Experts
reportedly expect that there could be over one million migrants landing in Britain this year, a
report by The Telegraph has revealed. The paper had formerly put the maximum net
migration figure for 2023 at somewhere in the region of 675,000 thousand ahead of official
statistics set to be released by the UK government in the coming weeks.
What
Are All These Illegals Going to Do? [Scroll down] [#3] Menial jobs,
welfare, homelessness, crime. Very few of the illegals are skilled laborers (except for
picking Nancy's crops), so they won't be able to get high paying jobs. They will live
together in hovels, 8, 10, 12 to a house, or on the streets, and be in poverty. Many will, of
course, get on welfare and you and I will take care of them through our tax dollars. There
are a lot of other criminals crossing the border as well, and thus the Democrat-caused crime wave
will escalate. All this chaos is exactly what the Left wants because... [#4] These
people are a revolution waiting to happen. The illegals are going to discover that Joe
Biden's America is not what it was advertised to be. Most of them will exist in squalor and
deep poverty, with no easy avenue of escape. Many children will end up in some kind of child
labor or maybe even sex slavery to help their families subsist. It is a horrible situation
Biden is creating. Many of these people left their countries to get away from this, but they
will find a concomitant situation in the United States. If we think a revolution cannot
happen in America, then we are only deluding ourselves. Adolf Hitler actually came to power
legally, but Mao Zedong required a civil war. Lenin took advantage of mass discontent to take
over Russia, and that appears to be the most likely scenario in America.
The
Counterattack of Reason. As Biden's open-border policies have allowed in without
tracking millions of illegal aliens, governors of the most affected states have started shipping
them north to cities where Democrat politicians have long signaled their virtue by declaring
themselves sanctuary cities. Now they are claiming these relatively small numbers of
immigrants are more than they can handle. [...] New York City is shipping some of the flood upstate
to communities that are expected to house them. Several Democrat senators (Sherrod Brown, Joe
Manchin, John Tester, Kyrsten Sinema) are joining Republicans in supporting SB 1473, which will
"authorize the immediate expulsion of inadmissible aliens attempting to enter the United States by
fraud or without a necessary entry document, and for other purposes," which, in essence, is
extending Title 42. This was a statute from 2020 that prohibited asylum-seekers from
entering the country due to the coronavirus pandemic. In Chicago, black voters are outraged
by the plan to house these illegals in the South side of the city, bumping them off city housing lists.
Chicago
Democrats [are] in Trouble With Black Voters Over Migrant Invasion of South Side.
Chicago got a lot more than it bargained for when the people voted for "sanctuary city"
policies. Taking them at their word — that they would welcome hordes of illegal
aliens — the governor of border state Texas, Greg Abbott, has been sending busloads of
people who cross into his state illegally right to the heart of Chicago. It's the best idea
anyone has come up with yet. Let the sanctuary cities become the new border towns! Let
the blowhards who say it's inhumane to turn people away absorb them! Afterall, they're the
compassionate ones, right? They're the ones who continually point the finger at the border
state governors and criticize their reluctance to take on the never-ending human waves. So
why, when they've now been given the chance to welcome them with open arms, is there trouble in
sanctuary paradise?
Illegal
Immigrants Get Free Smartphones Paid for by US Taxpayers — Some Do Not Have Court Dates
Until 2035. As of today, Friday, the Title 42 border protection order has
officially expired, and the United States is preparing for a record-breaking flood of illegal
immigrants at the southern border. On Thursday, independent journalist Tayler Hansen shared a
video on Twitter showing illegal aliens using U.S. taxpayer-funded cell phones after they were
given court dates. [Tweet] In 2022, the Biden regime reportedly issued over 300,000
smartphones to illegal aliens as part of the "Alternatives to Detention Program (ATD). U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) claimed the phones' facial recognition, GPS tracking, and
voice-identifying features are used to keep track of new illegal immigrants while they wait for
their court dates. According to Hansen, some of the illegal immigrants' court dates reportedly
won't be until 2027. New York Post reported that some illegal immigrants were given court
dates set as late as 2032 and 2035 in Chicago and Florida.

Declare States of Emergency as Massive Numbers of Illegal Aliens Continue to Swarm the U.S.
Southern Border. Several border cities have declared states of emergency as the
migrant invasion of the United States escalates. However, it's not just border states; many
of these illegal aliens are traveling to metropolitan areas leading to New York and Chicago
declaring a state of emergency. [...] Most of the corporate media have tried to distract from the
more than 10,000 illegal aliens now crossing every day. Major U.S. media outlets are now
ignoring the outcome of Joe Biden's intentionally collapsed border policies. For several months
Ben Bergquam has been covering the illegal alien invasion for Bannon's War Room. [Video clip]
An
Overwhelmed Border Patrol Is Missing an Epidemic of Runners and 'Got-aways'. Border
Patrol agents, equipped with sophisticated technology, attempt to apprehend migrants illegally
crossing into the United States. But securing the border has become more difficult as agents
are taken off the line to process unprecedented numbers of illegal migrants turning themselves in,
instead of preventing smuggling, drug and human trafficking, and identifying national security
threats. The end of Title 42 will push the numbers of migrants and got-aways even
higher. Todd Bensman, the Center's senior national security fellow, joins agents in New
Mexico for a nighttime search for illegal migrants and warns of the got-away trends.
Got-aways are unlawful border-crossers who are "directly or indirectly observed making an unlawful
entry into the United States", but who are not apprehended. [Video clip]
Federal
judge makes clear who is to blame for border crisis, halts Biden's migrant 'parole'
program. A federal judge late Thursday temporarily halted the Biden administration's
plan to parole migrants who illegally cross the southern border. For two years, the Biden
administration has released some migrants without giving them a court date. Through the
Alternatives to Detention program, migrants without a court date are tracked and required to "check
in" using a phone application. The program was designed to prevent migrants from disappearing
into the shadows while they await their court dates. But the administration prepared a new
"parole" program this week to release migrants from custody without a court date or any way to
track them, NBC News reported.
13
States Move for Emergency Relief From Biden Regime's Open Border Policy. Thirteen
states have moved for emergency relief from the Biden regime's plan to release potentially
thousands of illegal immigrants into the United States daily due to overcrowding in migrant holding
facilities. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey filed a motion on Friday seeking a court
order to force the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to abandon "this illegal program." The
motion was filed as part of Bailey's existing lawsuit against DHS contesting the regime's refusal
to secure the southern border. "As Attorney General, I will enforce the laws as written, which
includes ensuring that the Biden Administration cannot create unlawful immigration programs without
the express permission of Congress," said Attorney General Bailey. "President Biden's immigration
policy is so egregious that we can't even finish one lawsuit before needing to amend it to address
something else. The Constitution is clear: the President is tasked with securing our
border. I am working to force President Biden to do so."
The
border catastrophe is Cloward-Piven all the way. My classmate Barack Obama and I
graduated on the same day in spring of 1983. This very month is the 40th anniversary of our
Columbia graduation. These Columbia University radicals (and traitors) had a plan named
Cloward-Piven. It was named after two Columbia University professors: the husband-and-wife
team of Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. The plan was actually simple: Get everyone
possible in America on welfare, food stamps and a hundred other government welfare programs.
Get so many on the government dole that the economy is overwhelmed, destroyed and collapses under
the weight of the exploding national debt. Basically, America goes bankrupt. At this
point, Americans would be in so much pain and so frightened that they would beg government to save
them. And that is how they would "fundamentally" change America forever. Remember those
words? They came out of the mouth of Barack Obama. He learned those words and this plan
at Columbia.
Trump
Takes a Hammer to the Carefully Maintained Delusions Inside the Left-Wing Bubble. Any
attempt to frame what is occurring at the southern border as an "invasion" would surely earn at
least a few accusations of racism or xenophobia. Yet over half of Americans openly frame it
as an "invasion." 27-percent of Americans would not say one way or another in response to
that loaded question, and only 19-percent would say that the we are absolutely not being invaded
through our southern border. Get that? Only one-in-five Americans is willing to openly
attest that we are not being invaded by foreign nationals across our southern border.
As Trump-era Title 42 ends, unprecedented waves of foreign nationals stand ready to break our
laws and enter this country. It is Biden's decision to rescind Trump's policies that is
driving this outcome. And well more than half of Americans do not approve of it.

67,759 migrants apprehended at US border this week. US border agents apprehended a
record-breaking 67,759 illegal migrants in the past week alone — including sex offenders
and gang members — as well as a massive stash of fentanyl, officials said Friday
[5/12/2023]. Another 15,780 illegal migrants eluded capture, tweeted US Border Patrol Chief
Raul Ortiz. Among those caught were five sex offenders, four gang members and two felons,
authorities said. Agents also seized 56 pounds of fentanyl, 179 pounds of methamphetamine,
34 pounds of cocaine, 5 pounds of heroin and seven firearms. Border officials have
struggled to manage an overwhelming surge in illegal immigration after the expiration of the Title 42
public health order, which allowed for expedited deportations during the coronavirus crisis.
Mayorkas
issues new warning to migrants as Border Patrol makes record apprehensions ahead of Title 42
end. Sources tell Fox News that the priority right now for Border Patrol is avoiding
images of overcrowding and processing migrants as fast as possible. Authorities earlier this
week greenlighted "safe" mass street releases if CBP and non-governmental organization (NGO)
partners cannot hold them. It means that the largest wave of mass releases in history has
already begun and will continue in the coming days.
Biden
priority: Keeping photos of migrant overcrowding in detention out of the news —
Report. [Scroll down] Which tells illegal migrants what Mayorkas means
when he says not to cross the border. It's not about the importance of obeying the law.
It's about avoiding news photos of too many migrants crossing the border which would bring bad
publicity to him and his policies. What a message to send to illegal border crossers.
Migrants already know that if they turn themselves into the Border Patrol, they'll more likely be
mass-released into the country without so much as a court date for their inevitably spurious claims
to asylum. Title 42 resulted in the expulsion of only 19% of them, meaning, the rest had an
81% chance of getting in. Now with Title 8, the result will be the same and if there are a
lot of them coming, they will simply be released — after lots of tough vetting, they
claim, another one to make migrants laugh.
Biden
Made it Easier to Come to America Illegally Than Legally. The Biden administration
keeps pretending that it didn't want the mass migration crisis that it did everything possible to
make happen, including fighting in the courts to enable the end of Title 42. And the endgame,
an even more massive surge of illegal aliens is everything that the administration desperately
wanted. The illegals are coming because Biden has made illegal migration into a more sensible
immigration approach than going through the system. As Joe Edlow at Heritage notes, "New
reports indicate that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has been ordered to shift its
staffing to meet the higher demands at the border... This move is not intended to control the
border; it is aimed at more quickly processing illegal aliens into the United States. As the
administration has continually ignored statutory mandates to detain aliens claiming credible fear,
this move is nothing more than a veiled attempt to keep the pipeline unclogged for the free-flowing
open border."
Chicago
residents launch legal action over plans to house 500 illegal immigrants inside a shuttered high
school. Furious residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit against the city after it
announced plans to house illegal immigrants in a disused high school in the South Side. The
old South Shore High School is expected to become a temporary holding space for up to 500 migrants,
but officials have not clarified for how long. The lawsuit was filed after on May 4 hundreds
of South Shore residents packed into an auditorium and bombarded local officials with criticism
over plans to house the migrants in the school, complaining about safety and a lack of consultation.
Federal
judge blocks Biden admin from releasing migrants without court dates as Title 42
expires. A federal judge on Thursday evening blocked the Biden administration from
implementing a policy that allows for the release of migrants without court dates — just
hours away from the end of the Title 42 public health order. Judge T. Kent Wetherell II
imposed a two-week restraining order on the Biden administration policy, which would see migrants
released on "parole with conditions." The policy was outlined in a Border Patrol memo this
week, which says that migrants can be allowed into the country on parole — a process
typically reserved for "urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit" — if
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) faces overcrowding. The memo calls the practice "parole
with conditions" as migrants are required to make an appointment with Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) or request a Notice to Appear by mail.
In
Major Reversal, Biden Resurrects Trump Border Policy Ahead Of Title 42 Repeal. The
Biden administration has brought back a Trump-era immigration rule the day before Title 42 is
scheduled to sunset and encourage a wave of illegal immigration into the U.S. The rule,
finalized and published in the Federal Register on Wednesday, disqualifies migrants from applying
for asylum in the U.S. if they neglected to first apply for asylum in other countries they traveled
through, such as Mexico. Hundreds of asylum officers were trained in how to enforce the rule
on Tuesday ahead of Title 42's expiration, according to CBS News. The new rule, a reversal of
President Joe Biden's campaign promises, comes as the administration has failed for more than two
years to control historic levels of illegal immigration into the U.S. The ongoing crisis at the
southern border is widely expected to worsen later this week when Title 42, a health order
authorizing border officials to immediately expel migrants without processing, is repealed at 11:59
p.m. on Thursday. When former President Donald Trump implemented the rule to contain illegal
immigration, Biden was one of his most vocal critics. Biden used Trump's immigration policies
as a club during the 2020 presidential campaign.
Biden
DHS Coordinating Illegal Immigration In-Flows with Mexico. In recent days, large
crowds of immigrants have formed on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande fully prepared to swim over
well-worn crossing spots to Brownsville — but seemingly held back by unarmed Mexican
immigration officials. Over the course of several recent days in this northeastern Mexican
city when perhaps 3,000 immigrants a day swam over to Brownsville with no opposition on either
side, a curious pattern became evident. At some sort of signal from the Mexican immigration
officers, a group of about 100-150 from the crowd would suddenly stand in unison and rush down the
riverbank, past the immigration officers, and swim over to America. It turns out that this
pattern was far from happenstance. The Center for Immigration Studies asked several of the
Mexican immigration officers what was going on and learned that President Joe Biden's Department of
Homeland Security has been coordinating these mass swims with Mexico's immigration service, INM, at
high levels on an encrypted Whatsapp channel.
Texas
AG Warns Threat to 'Sovereignty, Security' of Americans by Biden Ending Title 42 'Cannot Be
Overstated'. The detriment to "national sovereignty, border security, and the safety
of American citizens" caused by ending Title 42 "cannot be overstated," warned Texas Attorney
General Ken Paxton who slammed President Biden for "prioritizing an open-borders agenda above any
semblance of border security." In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News on Thursday, Paxton
lamented the lifting of the Title 42 Trump-era public health policy that allows for the immediate
expulsion of migrants without allowing them to seek asylum. The reversal of the Biden
administration's Title 42 COVID-19 expulsion authority, due for Friday, is expected to spur a wave
of migration at the southern border.
NY
Times revelation: People coming to the US border don't believe it's closed (because it's
not). Now that we're in the midst of a full fledged border crisis once again,
immigration is finally a top story at some of the top newspapers. It's at the top of the
front page of the Washington Post and the NY Times. The Post story points
out that we're setting new records this week, averaging twice as many border crossings per day as
we were in 2019 during what was then considered President Trump's border crisis. [...] Yesterday,
the administration put in place new restrictions on who can claim asylum that are intended to
partially replace the loss of Title 42 later tonight. But the Post points out that under
those rules the Biden administration is still legally required to make individual assessments of
each migrant.
Cruz
Explodes At The Border Over Biden's Crisis. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) excoriated
Democrats while visiting the U.S.-Mexico border on Thursday ahead of the massive influx of illegal
aliens set to flood into the U.S. as Title 42 expires. "We are witnessing an absolute travesty
unfolding on our southern border," Cruz told reporters Thursday evening. "On Monday, we apprehended
over 10,000 people on the border, the highest level in history. On Tuesday, we apprehended
over 10,000 people on the border, again, the highest level in history. There are, right now
where we're standing, more than 22,000 people camped just south of the border, getting ready to
come across just in this location. In less than a month, we've had over 35,000 Venezuelans
cross illegally, just right here."
The
Staggering Flaws of the Biden Family. A staggering number of unaccompanied children
have been sent here, but to whom and why? The Biden administration has seen almost 400,000
UACs cross the border. An HHS whistleblower testified that 85,000 children are "lost" and
cannot be accounted for, but are believed to be in indentured servitude (at best). The Biden
administration knows this and has done nothing. Biden's reputation as a "compassionate"
humanitarian is exposed for what it is: rhetoric.
Build
Back Borderless, Bankrupt, and Broken. Remember: the same people who cannot protect
the border from foreign invaders want you to believe that they can control inflation, COVID, and
climate change. While they lose the war against drug cartels in their own backyard, they want
you to think that they can successfully manage wars on the other side of the globe. While
small towns struggle with transnational gang battles, urban homeless shelters overflow, and
record-high overdose deaths cripple American society, the government's crack team of nation-killers
ignore the country's pressing threats and instead preach about racism, "green" energy, and the
importance of welcoming men in girls' restrooms. [...] Take a look around: America is
burning. Here's a simple rule of thumb to keep in mind: whenever you see crime that is spun
as too big and complex for the government to tackle with its oversized toolkit of immense powers
and nearly unlimited funding, the government is in on the crime.
Biden
admin plans to order release of migrants into U.S. with no way to track them. After
more than 11,000 migrants crossed the southern border on Tuesday, the Biden administration is now
preparing a memo that will direct Customs and Border Protection to begin releasing migrants into
the United States without court dates or the ability to track them, according to three sources
familiar with the plans. The Biden administration began releasing migrants without court
dates to alleviate overcrowding in March 2021, but had previously enrolled those migrants in a
program known as "Alternatives to Detention," which required them to check in on a mobile app until
they were eventually given a court date. The new policy would release them on "parole" with a
notice to report to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement office but without enrolling them in
Alternatives to Detention.
ICE
released hundreds of criminals to clear space for border surge. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement has been releasing illegal immigrants, including those with criminal records,
from custody to clear space for the looming surge of more migrants at the border, in the latest
sign of the government's scramble to prepare for the onslaught. ICE cut its detention
population to fewer than 23,000 at the start of the month, down from more than 28,000 six weeks
earlier. That includes hundreds of people with criminal records whom ICE has released.
Acting ICE Director Tae Johnson told Congress last month that he wanted to cut the population to as
few as 21,000 people to leave plenty of space to accommodate the border chaos as the administration
gives up its Title 42 pandemic expulsion power Thursday night.
150,000
migrants expected to cross the US border as Title 42 ends, and blue city mayors prepare for more
buses. The scope of this disaster really is amazing. With Title 42 set to end
Thursday the everyone from border state governors to blue city mayors is getting ready for a new
influx of migrants. There may not be a long wait because more than a hundred thousand people
are already camped out on the Mexican side of the border waiting for the right moment. [...] So
150,000 people on the doorstep and maybe more than that on the way. Shelters in Tijuana are
overflowing. The director of migrants affairs said a "humanitarian crisis" is near.
Texas
DPS: Illegal Alien Apprehensions Reach Rate of 9,000 Per Day. The Texas Department of
Public Safety (DPS) recently claimed that the ongoing mass migration crisis has led to a daily rate
of at least 9,000 apprehensions along the southern border. Breitbart reports that DPS
spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez confirmed the claims, saying that the previous two days have
seen over 9,000 such apprehensions of illegal aliens. These numbers surpass the previous
highest daily rate in the month of December, which saw approximately 7,200 arrests per day.
If the daily rate of 9,000 holds steady for the rest of May, it will shatter previous records under
the Biden Administration as well as the overall history of the Border Patrol, ultimately coming to
about 279,000 illegal aliens apprehended this month; the previous month in April saw over 181,000
apprehensions overall. The daily figures are expected to rise significantly, however, once
the Trump-era Title 42 policy officially ends on May 11th.
Biden
promises to veto border control. Joe Biden isn't backtracking on his commitment to
keep the border wide open. Despite his weak protestations that he is committed to finding a
solution to the border crisis his own policies created, today he promised to veto a Republican bill
to beef up border security. It's an interesting move for a man of whom nobody approves who
has decided to campaign for reelection. There are between 700,000 and a million migrants
waiting to cross the border, and Biden's policies have already invited between 6 and 7 million
illegal migrants into the country since his inauguration.
Lara
Logan, Texas Republican Politicians Working Against Border Security. Resident of
Texas, Lara Logan, appears on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast to discuss the illegal alien invasion
that is happening right now in the lone star state. Logan notes that Texas republican politicians
are actively working to keep the border open with migration flows controlled but not stopped.
As CTH has long documented, illegal mass immigration is a policy that both wings of the UniParty
support. Logan reports that Texas republicans, the Bush wing of the professional republican
apparatus that controls Texas politics, recently blocked a state border security effort in order
to keep the immigration flow in place. This is a remarkable interview with details to support
the baseline as discussed. [Video clip]
A
constitutional amendment could help fix our broken border. Currently, Title 42 is the
only thing stopping Joe Biden from abandoning any pretense that the U.S. has a southern
border. The invaders are lining up and ready to roll. The hordes we saw in the first
two years of the Biden administration will shrink to insignificance compared to what's about to
come. However, to the extent significant numbers are drawn by the promise of free public
education for their children, getting the Supreme Court to reverse a decision mandating free public
education for illegal alien children or amending the 14th Amendment might make America much less enticing.
Is
Mexico's AMLO behind the million migrant surge into the U.S.? With Joe Biden's end to
the Title 42 pandemic restrictions on asylum applications coming on May 11, as many as a million
migrants are massing at the U.S. southern border, preparing to charge on in. It seems a
little odd, actually. Title 42 had been sparsely enforced by the Bidenites as most migrants,
particularly the ones who couldn't be expelled to Mexico based on their countries of origin, got
into the states on "parole" anyway, some of them coughing away on COVID, and unlike normal
travelers, were exempt from U.S. vaccine requirements, even being allowed to refuse them. The
overwhelming majority, one way or another, got in, which kept the surge surging. That one
little restriction, though, which gave an illegal border crosser a less-than-50% chance of being
thrown out as a pandemic risk, ends, and now a million are headed in? Something about it
doesn't entirely make sense, [...]
Title
42 Countdown: Migrants Fly from Around the World to Rush U.S. Border. Foreign
nationals from around the world are flying to northern Mexico to wait for President Joe Biden to
end Title 42, one of the few remaining border controls, on May 11 so they can rush the United
States-Mexico border. In 2020, in the midst of the Chinese coronavirus crisis, former
President Donald Trump invoked the public health authority known as Title 42 at the border,
ensuring that federal immigration officials have been able to quickly return millions of illegal
aliens to Mexico over the last three years.
The Editor says...
If you can fly all over the world, you're not an economic refugee.
One
Million Illegal Alien Migrants Expected to Swarm the U.S. Southern Border. On or
around May 11th, will the U.S. launch the new spring offensive in Ukraine? Will Fulton County
Georgia release unseal their indictment of Donald Trump? Will Jack Smith release his assault
upon the former president? Will Main Justice finally release, through the USAO in Delaware,
the indictment of Hunter Biden? These are the questions we should ask as approximately
1,000,000 economic migrants are positioned to swarm the U.S. southern border on the same
date. They will need a distraction, a BIG distraction. What we can anticipate is that
on/around May 11th something big will be delivered as part of that distraction. The people in
command and control of the Biden administration will need to coordinate something big to cover for
their May 11th removal of Title 42, the public health authority currently being used to slow
illegal alien migrants from entering the U.S.
The Editor says...
I predict the government will announce that they've found fire ants on Mars, or the International
Space Station will mysteriously explode, or the last remaining chicken farm will go up in smoke (but
nobody will have seen anything suspicious and all the surveillance cameras will have failed).
Look, here comes another Chinese spy balloon! Hey, the GPS stopped working! Maybe that
will be the day VP Harris resigns, or maybe the price of gas will drop like a rock. Whatever
the red herring turns out to be, it will be something that the federal government controls.
Buses
of asylum seekers arrive in NYC, migrants housed at former police academy building.
New York City leaders are calling the influx of migrants a crisis situation. The asylum
seekers that arrived in New York City are being housed at the former police academy, which was once
used as a training facility, for at least a week. Four buses arrived there just after
midnight early Friday, bussing in families, men, and women. A fifth arrived later Friday
morning. Less than a dozen men arrived on the bus from Texas with their paperwork in hand,
ready to call America home.
New
Footage Shows El Paso Engulfed In 'Mass Migration Dumpster Fire'. On Monday
[5/1/2023], White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre made an absurd claim: "When it comes to
illegal migration, you've seen it come down by more than 90%" under the Biden administration.
And if that was the case, why did a Democrat mayor of a Texas border town declare a state of
emergency? Well, new footage from border town El Paso, Texas, shows a sobering view of a
worsening migrant crisis that the Biden administration, liberal media, and progressive politicians
have ignored for two years while calling anyone who pointed it out 'racist.' [Tweet]
This should have been done at least three years ago. Texas
Slows Cross-Border Trucks from Matamoros to a Crawl Amid Immigrant Surge. In a
reprise of a controversial diplomatic pressure tactic against Mexico from last year, Texas Governor
Greg Abbott has ordered tedious truck safety inspections once again that have effectively shut down
a major commercial trucking artery from Mexico, the Center for Immigration Studies has
confirmed. The deployment of Texas Department of Public Safety vehicle safety inspection
officers Tuesday has all but closed the trucking lanes at Veterans International Bridge at Los
Tomates leading from Matamoros into Brownsville. That bridge's two trucking lanes are open
daily from 6 a.m. to midnight. "We're doing 100 percent inspections, which means every
truck will be inspected," Texas DPS spokesman Chris Olivares confirmed to CIS on May 3.
"It's indefinite," Olivares said. "We want to make sure the trucks are safe and they're
following state and federal regulations to make sure they are operating safety on Texas roadways."
Several
Arrested for Helping Illegal Immigrant Murder Suspect Hide. Texas authorities have
arrested several people who may have helped a man suspected of killing five neighbors evade a
manhunt for four days, a local deputy sheriff said on Wednesday, a day after the suspect's
capture. The bloodshed erupted on Friday in Cleveland, Texas, after neighbors asked the
suspect to stop firing his semiautomatic rifle in his yard because it was keeping their baby
awake. Instead, the man reloaded, entered the home of the neighbors and killed five,
including an 8-year-old boy, officials said.
Biden
Orders 1,500 Soldiers to Southern Border ahead of Title 42 Expiration. President Joe
Biden is dispatching 1,500 soldiers to the Southern border to stem the surge of illegal immigrants
that are expected to follow next Thursday's expiration of Title 42, a pandemic-era public-health
measure that allows Border Patrol to immediately expel illegal immigrants. The active-duty
Army units will assist Border Patrol and will be armed, though they will only be permitted to use
their weapons in self-defense. Following a request by the DHS, the Department of Defense
agreed to "provide a temporary increase of an additional 1,500 military personnel, for 90 days, to
supplement CBP efforts at the border," an unnamed US official said in a statement provided to CNN.
DPS
Video Captures Eco Devastation as Thousands of Migrants Cross Border to Texas. A
video shot by the Texas Department of Public Safety shows the ecological disaster created by the
more than 24,000 migrants who crossed the border near Brownsville in just over two weeks. The
video shows the trash and waste left behind by the mostly Venezuelan migrants crossing from
Matamoros, Tamaulipas, to Brownsville. DPS spokesman Lt. Chris Olivarez provided a
video to Breitbart Texas that he shot while walking along the northern bank of the Rio Grande on
Friday. The video captures the images of what is left behind for taxpayers to clean up and remove.
Shut
Down the Border or Shut Down Democrat Cities. The Mayor of New York City can
regularly be heard complaining about the strain placed on his city by the flood of illegal aliens
shipped to the sanctuary city by red state Governors. Now the city of Chicago is joining the
chorus of Democrat-run localities that advocate for open borders that are now choking on their
wish. While it's fun to watch, it is damaging to America. As such, it's time to shut
down the border until those charged with securing it can put a plan in place to actually do just
that. Honestly, the Biden administration had no intention of securing the border.
Flooding the country with illegal aliens straining state and local budgets is part of the
plan — you can't "fundamentally transform" something working, there'd be no point or
appetite for it. Democrats need to overwhelm people and governments, as well as completely
crumble the current system in order to sell people on the idea that something "new" is
needed. Of course, that "new" is the old tropes and policies leftists have been imposing and
failing at for more than a century, but you can't create a hellish Utopia without breaking a few
eggs (or killing 100 million people, as the case may be). That plan to transform the United
States into something it not only has never been, but was expressly never intended to be can only
work if what exists now is destroyed.
El
Paso Has Fallen After Liberal Open Border Policies Have Turned It Into A 3rd World
Country. As the future of Title 42 remains uncertain, many migrants continue living
on the streets of El Paso. The reason a large group of migrants remain on the street is

[do not trust] the help being offered by the city. [Video clip]
Why
Tucker Carlson was Doomed. Tucker Carlson's program had been on life support since
December 18, 2018. That is when "progressive" Democrats cancelled most of its sponsors.
On December 13, 2018, Tucker Carlson did a segment on the effects of massive, uncontrolled, and
often illegal immigration from poor countries. Tucker showed videos of caravans of illegal
immigrants coming to our borders, and of the piles of garbage they left behind. Tucker
explained how this was hurting America in many ways. He criticized political leaders of both
parties and business elites for ignoring the problem. [...] Everything Tucker Carlson said was
true, undisputed, and reasonable. It had all been said many times by many political leaders
and economic experts. In 2016, candidate Donald Trump won widespread, mainstream support by
promising to fix these problems. Trump promised a border wall and strict enforcement of
immigration laws. Tucker Carlson was correct to remind his viewers of how the leaders of both
parties were ignoring this critical issue. However, the Left used Tucker's December 13, 2018
program to begin an orchestrated campaign to eliminate Tucker Carlson's program, and possibly the
entire Fox News network, from cable television.
Chicago
mayor calls on Texas to cease sending migrants to the city. Chicago Mayor Lori
Lightfoot is urging Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to not follow through with his "inhuman and
dangerous" plan to send more migrants and asylum seekers from his southern state to her city.
The outgoing Chicago mayor made her appeal to the Republican governor in a letter Sunday, stating
that they are aware Texas is planning as soon as Monday to start sending migrants to Democrat-led
cities including Chicago. "Chicago is a Welcoming City and we collaborate with county, state
and community partners to rise to this challenge, but your lack of consideration or coordination in
an attempt to cause chaos and score political points has resulted in a critical tipping point in
our ability to receive individuals and families in a safe, orderly and dignified way," Lightfoot wrote.
Number
of illegal migrants crossing into this border city explodes. Thousands of migrants
have suddenly begun to cross the southern border into Brownsville, Texas. The city has never
seen such numbers of illegal immigrants. Most of these are from Venezuela. There have
been so many, so quickly that officials in Brownsville issued a disaster declaration last week,
doing as other Texas border cities have done when faced with this crisis. Over 15,000
migrants have illegally crossed the river near Brownsville since last week. That is a sharp
rise from the 1,700 migrants that Border Patrol agents encountered in the first two weeks of April,
according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials. Social services are stretched and
overnight shelters have to turn people away.
As
many as a million migrants mass at the U.S. border for illegal entry. This week Joe
Biden touted a laundry list of immigration carrots and sticks intended to disincentivize illegal
immigration at the southern border now that he's lifting the sparsely enforced Title 42
restrictions on May 11. They were mostly carrots. The New York Times called them a
"new back door on immigration," and explained that its permissiveness went well beyond the lawful
congressional parameters for the admission of immigrants. The response? More migrants
at the border than ever. They're massing now in record numbers. [...] So based on Biden's
weak enforcement and continuous admission and "parole" for all economic migrants with very little
education, few skills, and zero knowledge of English, other than the training from NGOs they've had
which has instructed them to say 'asylum,' in they come to America. Joe Biden's roundheeled
'asylum officers' will call all claims "credible fears of persecution" even if the only problem is
living in a gang-infested neighborhood, with family members in gangs contributing to it. With
that arrangement, they will all be entitled to live and work here as refugees and asylum seekers,
waiting ten years for a court date and working away in the meantime, paying zero to apply for it,
and likely to treat that free admission for exactly the price they paid for it.
Biden's
new immigration plan: Letting them all in — without the border photos.
Want to apply for asylum in the U.S., but don't want the hassle and expense of a costly border
crossing? No worries, Joe Biden will accommodate. He's bringing the asylum applications
to the migrants. No need to travel. Get your asylum application in, in the convenience
of your own country and step right into the states on "parole" to await several years for its
adjudication, complete with welcome packets telling of all the "free" U.S.-taxpayer paid social
services you can get. [...] In the past, refugees were processed in a third country, and asylum
claims could only be made from the first safe country of refuge. Now with Joe Biden bringing
the asylum to them, no need to worry about a first safe country of refuge; the world's migrants are
free to country-shop for the best deal, some of them having already been granted asylum in Brazil,
Chile, and other places, but would prefer to get into the states, based on its better benefit
packages and economic opportunity, which is not what asylum is for.
Report:
Annual Costs of Illegal Immigration Soars to $150.7 Billion a Year. A new report by
FAIR, The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration, finds that as of 2022, American taxpayers shell out
at least $150.7 billion each year to cover the cost of illegal immigration. Broken down,
the data reveals that taxpayers pay $182 billion annually to provide services and benefits to
illegal aliens and their dependents. These costs are offset by about $31 billion in
taxes that are collected from the estimated 15.5 million illegal aliens living in the United
States, bringing the net cost to $150.7 billion annually.
Biden's
theme is "finish the job." Have you seen the job thus far? And then there's the
situation that started on the southern border almost immediately after Joe Biden issued his first
executive orders. They don't call it the Biden Border Crisis for nothing. We are now up
to more than 6.3 million illegal immigrants that have invaded the country since January 2021. Many
were "encountered" and released into America's interior but there have also been more than 1.2 million
"gotaways." (As they are called.) One record for illegal migration after another has been
broken. And we somehow managed to lose track of at least 85,000 children. This is a
crisis that may have started along the southern border, but it has now spread to every city and
state in the nation as the illegal aliens are loaded onto buses and planes and dropped off in
places with few resources available to help them. It's gotten to the point where the
Democratic Mayor of New York City is blaming Biden and running up the white flag.
Biden
Opens "Back Door" on Immigration, Aims for Hundreds of Thousands of New Arrivals by End of
Year. President Joe Biden, stymied by congressional inaction, has signed an executive
order that opens a back door for hundreds of thousands of migrants to enter the United States by
the end of the year. The measure, the New York Times unveiled, expands a previous policy
granted to refugees fleeing Ukraine, Haiti, and parts of Latin America. Using the temporary
protected status label, once sought for elimination by former President Donald Trump, the White
House hopes to see 360,000 new entrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Haiti by the end of
2023. The move is being made under the guise of attempting to reduce the flood of illegal
crossings at the southern border. The Pew Research Center predicts the policy, if successful,
would result in the largest expansion of legal immigration in decades.
Eric
Adams: New York City Is Being 'Destroyed' by President Joe Biden's Migrant Crisis.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) said New York City is being "destroyed" by President Joe Biden's
migrant crisis during a panel discussion in Washington, DC, hosted by the African American Mayors
Association. "The city is being destroyed by the migrant crisis," Adams bluntly stated. [...]
Adams seemingly took a shot at other New York City officials, accusing them of not fighting hard
enough to get federal resources to the city.
The Editor says...
Does the mayor think New York City is the only place that's being affected? Has he changed
his mind about the wide-open Mexican border? Why is more federal spending the answer
to every problem?
Democrats
love importing people to pick their crops. The Democratic Party appears to be
obsessed with the idea that the best way to ensure that crops are picked by the "right" sort of
people is to import them from somewhere else. For decades they fought to keep slavery a going
concern — Africans, after all, were apparently the right sort of people to pick
cotton. Now, according to Adam Schiff, we have to ensure an open southern border to ensure
that people with a different skin colors remain the primary pickers of crops. Since cotton is
no longer harvested by human hands, we are now talking about fruits and vegetables mainly.
But the principle is the same, apparently. [Tweet]

Democrats in the House and Senate introduced legislation this week that would make it harder to
hold illegal aliens in custody if they qualify as a "vulnerable person," such as those who are gay,
lesbian or transgender, who don't speak English, or who meet other definitions of the term under
the bill. The Dignity for Detained Immigrants Act, from Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash.,
and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., is aimed at setting minimum standards for detention facilities
where thousands of illegal aliens are kept as they await processing. Among other things, it
would bar the use of private detention facilities and make sure government-run facilities meet
minimum standards as defined by the American Bar Association.
Bush,
Obama, Clinton Team Up with American Express to Fly Migrants into American Communities.
A non-governmental organization (NGO) founded by former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush,
and Barack Obama and backed by a litany of multinational corporations is teaming up with American
Express to fly migrants into the United States. The NGO, called Welcome.US, was initially launched
to work with President Joe Biden's administration in resettling some 85,000 Afghans across the U.S. in
2021 and 2022, as Breitbart News reported extensively at the time. For its Afghan operation, the
NGO helped fly close to 20,000 Afghans to American communities funded by millions raised from donations
and supported by corporate backers like Walmart, Airbnb, the New York Times, the Business Roundtable,
the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Starbucks, the Washington Post, Goldman Sachs, Goodwill Industries,
Microsoft, and Chobani.
AMLO
Tells Mexican People USA is Spying on Them and U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency is Manipulating
Media. Ever since Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador confronted Joe Biden
in the oval office about energy policy, things have increasingly escalated. There is going to
be a U.S-Mexico confrontation soon. Mexico (AMLO), along with Hungary (Orban), is a target of
the Biden administration for a color revolution, a manipulated uprising to overthrow the
government. It is absolutely not coincidental that Victor Orban and Lopez-Obrador, both spoke
out publicly against the President Trump criminal prosecution. In the geopolitical world the
nationalist leaders see exactly what is happening. In the latest stunning development,
Mexican President AMLO calls out the United States Government for spying on the Mexican military.

Where
Did All the Biden Illegal Immigrants Go? No one knows exactly how many people
have poured across the southwestern U.S. border since President Biden took office, or where they've
gone since. The official number of encounters by Customs and Border Patrol stands at 5.2 million
people, logged over the last two full federal fiscal years and fiscal 2023 through March. But
that number is imprecise because it includes repeat encounters with the same people and omits the
many who slipped into the country unnoticed by border agents. Under President Biden, the
U.S. smashed past the 200,000 monthly encounters mark for the first time in July 2021 and it has
repeatedly topped that record in the months since. By comparison, in fiscal 2020, which
ended a month before Biden's defeat of President Trump, the U.S. averaged 38,174 monthly
encounters at the border, according to CBP figures. Because of an official lack of
transparency, all those people and the circumstances by which they have arrived and remained have
made it hard to take stock of the historic influx. Through midnight flights and buses from
the border to far-flung locales, the administration has made it difficult to identify where the
migrants are now living and receiving services. Also unclear are the costs associated with
the arrivals.
Human
tidal wave is waiting for border to open May 11 — Biden has no plan to stop it.
The real, true, and final end of pandemic-era measure "Title 42," which allowed for the quick expulsion
of all illegal immigrants crossing the southern border, is nigh. Set to end May 11, the title
was a potent deterrent when former President Donald Trump applied it to almost 90% of all illegal crossing
immigrants and far less so under the President, who expelled only 35%. I predict big trouble is on
the way to the southern border, from which I've just returned. In Juarez, thousands of immigrants
are living in abandoned buildings, sleeping on the streets, and many hundreds more a day show up
on freight trains. A human tidal wave is building all over Mexico and farther south.
Biden's
Migrants to Enjoy Multi-Billion-Dollar Welfare Payday. More than a million migrants,
whom President Joe Biden's administration has released into the United States through a parole
pipeline, could enjoy a multi-billion-dollar welfare payday a few years from now, new analysis
suggests. As Breitbart News reported, since early 2021, Biden's Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) has released more than a million migrants into the U.S. interior by awarding them
parole — a program initially intended for rare, case-by-case circumstances.
Analysis conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies' George Fishman, a former DHS official
from the Trump administration, finds that should many of these migrants awarded parole remain in the
U.S. for at least five years, they will become eligible for American taxpayer-funded welfare benefits.
Can
We Do Anything About America's Decline? To have a "border problem," one must have a
border. The United States has no southern border. Upwards of 7 million illegal entries
since the Biden inauguration are proof enough of that tragedy. Mexico brags that 40 million
have come into the United States. It urges them to vote Democratic. And it relies on
still more illegal entries to ensure yearly increases in its current $60 billion in remittance
income sent from its expatriates in the United States. The donors apparently grow fonder of
Mexico — the more they are safely distant from it. America could close the border
tomorrow and actually "make Mexico pay for the wall" by simply slapping a 10 percent export tax on
all remittances sent to Mexico. Or we could make it illegal to send money out of the country
if one is receiving federal subsidies and aid. Or we could fine employers for hiring those
who are here illegally. Or, as a deterrent to future illegal entries, we could immediately
deport all who illegally entered and reside in the United States — if they came within
the last five years, or if they have a criminal record, or if they are not working and are on
public assistance.
Biden
Is Even Worse than Obama. Biden, in reversing Trump-era requirements for migrants to
seek asylum in a safe country through which they transited, has opened the flood-gates on third
world immigration. Of course, the vast majority of these asylum cases are without merit and
eventually denied. Most of these people are not legitimate political refugees, but economic
ones. But they're coming here all the same, and if we cannot stop them at the border, what
are the odds there will be the political will to deport them when their asylum cases are
denied? And if we can't or won't deport them, how will an already-decrepit economy and
fraying culture assimilate all these people? What will happen to them and their children (as
well as our own) as they seek schooling, jobs, and government benefits under the aegis of
widespread affirmative action? The chaos on the border will simply be repeated in a more
diffuse way when these paroled migrants end up in the interior. The border disaster will
create problems for decades to come.
Importing
Poverty Is Making America Poor. One of the most irksome talking points anti-borders
activists repeat endlessly is that "America is the wealthiest country on Earth." This is based on
data showing the United States has the highest concentration of millionaires and the largest gross
domestic product. There is trouble, however, below that hyper-affluent upper level. The
share of American adults who live in middle-class households has shrunk by 11 percent in the
last 50 years. The gross federal debt sits at an all-time high of over
$31 trillion. China is working aggressively to supplant the United States as the global
superpower and is attacking our currency, military supremacy, and access to vital natural
resources, among other areas. Our current leadership seems interested not in reversing
America's deterioration, but rather in managing it better than the opposition party. Now add
excessive immigration to these problems. Instead of "making America stronger," as clueless sanctuary
mayors dutifully insist immigration does, today it is only making America poorer and more balkanized.
Joe
Biden is the human trafficking president. Just 50 days into his presidency, human
trafficking and smuggling at the southern border have already gotten worse thanks to President
Biden. Reuters reported Wednesday that the Mexican government has assessed "that gangs are
diversifying methods of smuggling and winning clients as they eye U.S. measures that will
'incentivize migration.'" The trafficking of migrants to the United States from Mexico and
Central America hoping to win asylum isn't new. The Trump administration went to great
lengths to discourage it by getting those governments to disperse migrant caravans and forcing
asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico until their cases could be adjudicated.
Report:
Border Crossers Found Living Inside Downtown Chicago Police Station. Border crossers
and illegal aliens, recently bused to the sanctuary city of Chicago, Illinois, from Texas, have
been found living inside a downtown police station, local reports confirm. Since Texas
started busing border crossers and illegal aliens to Chicago last year, more than 5,100 new
arrivals have landed in the sanctuary city. Some of those migrants, CWB Chicago reveals, have
ended up living in the city's police station.
Migrant
remittances to Mexico and Central America are soaring. With Joe Biden's border surge
on, only the "experts" were surprised to learn that remittances increased to the countries that
supply the illegal aliens to the U.S. [...] The Mexican government was enabling [illegal
immigration], of course but the nationals involved tended to come from Central and South America,
rather than Mexico itself. The country had been badly hit by COVID, meaning many people were
thrown out of work there and needed to rely on relatives abroad to send a lifeline, which may
explain some of it. It's also true that not everyone who sends remittances to another country
is an illegal alien — many legally present foreign nationals also send remittances to
their families back home. But it's also a fact that the more recently an immigrant has
arrived here, the more likely he is to send remittances to relatives back home.
An Act Before
Congress. [Scroll down] That noxious combination of radicalism and lack of transparency
was on display yet again this week when embattled Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas made a
scheduled visit to Capitol Hill for questioning by senators. It only served to reaffirm that
we are a nation being led by unserious people who do not prioritize the best interests of America
and its citizens. Among the topics discussed in the hearing was Customs and Border
Protection's "CBP One" phone app, which allows would-be illegal aliens from four
countries — Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua — to sign up to enter our
country on an app, and then be processed through ports of entry and paroled into the United States
at the rate of 30,000 per month. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) cited a Texas Monthly article,
which reported that migrants using the app are given no interviews and asked no questions about
vulnerabilities they listed in the app, or about why they are seeking asylum in the United
States. Instead, they are simply released into the country on official parole.
Nearly One Out Of
Every $10 Sent In Remittance Payments From US To Mexico Is Linked To Crime: REPORT.
Roughly 8% of remittances sent from the U.S. to Mexico are linked to crimes such as money
laundering, according to Bloomberg. The figure adds up to about $4.4 billion of the
record $58 billion sent in remittances to Mexico, Bloomberg reported, citing a study by Signos
Vitales, a Mexico-based think tank. The revelation comes as illegal immigration at the
southern border of the U.S. surges, with Border Patrol agents encountering more than 250,000
illegal migrants from Mexico between October 2022 and February 2023. "There has to be an
explanation for the astounding increase in the past few years. It's impressive that it's gone
from around $21 billion to nearly $60 billion," Enrique Cardenas, an economics professor
heading Signos Vitales, said, according to Bloomberg. "There are parts that look strange,
things that don't happen in the rest of the country." Increasing amounts of the cash are
coming from areas of the U.S. that lack large Mexican populations, according to Bloomberg.
For example, Minnesota has the third-largest amount of remittances going to Mexico, despite having
a low Mexican population of around 200,000.
U.S. starts flying migrants caught crossing
Canadian border south to Texas. As migrants cross illegally into the U.S. from Canada
at historically high levels, U.S. officials have begun flying migrants apprehended at the northern
border south to Texas. To date, at least two flights — one on March 13 to
Harlingen, Texas, and another on March 21 to El Paso — have departed from Plattsburgh,
New York, carrying a total of 82 migrants expelled under the Covid ban known as Title 42, a Customs
and Border Protection spokesperson told NBC News.

Illegal
immigration to cost New Yorkers $10 billion in 2023, US $150B: report. President
Biden's "porous" border policies are expected to cost New York taxpayers nearly $10 billion in
2023, a new watchdog report claims. The conservative Federation for American Immigration
Reform's March study found New Yorkers will pay $9.9 billion all told for various federal, state
and local government programs that serve more than 1 million illegal immigrants and asylum-seeking
migrants in the Empire State. New York taxpayers will shell out $4.65 billion for
education-related expenses, $3.5 billion for health care and welfare expenditures including food
assistance programs, and $1.75 billion for costs related to immigration-related law enforcement
such as caring for unaccompanied minors, the report breakdown states. It also estimates that
the border crisis is costing US taxpayers more than $150 billion annually — a 30% jump
since their 2017 study.

Border Sector Reports 10K Known Border Crossers in Single Week. Del Rio Sector Border
Patrol officials report that more than 10,000 migrants are known to have crossed the border from
Mexico into Texas during the past week. The report includes more than 6,200 apprehensions and
nearly 4,000 known got-aways. Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens tweeted a
report for activities in his sector between March 5 and 11. The twee reveals the apprehension
of 6,218 migrants. In addition, another 3,928 migrants are classified as known got-aways.
Texas'
unique plan to close the border looks promising. As the Biden border crisis grinds on
into its third year, residents along the southern border are growing increasingly frustrated and,
in some cases, frightened. That's particularly true in Texas, where legislators are clearly
tired of waiting for the White House to fix Joe Biden's disastrous policies and have decided to
take matters into their own hands. The state legislature is reportedly finalizing some new
laws that would empower state law enforcement to take a much more active and aggressive role in
securing the border and ensuring the safety of the Texans living in the affected areas. The
plan will potentially include an entirely new police force dedicated to blocking illegal migrants'
access to the Lone Star State.
Here's another expensive study to state the obvious: Rice
University Study: Trump Policies Cut Illegal Immigration, Biden Policies Encourage Inflow.
Former President Donald Trump's policies at the United States-Mexico border helped deter illegal immigration,
while President Joe Biden's policies are encouraging record-setting inflows, a new study suggests. The
study, conducted by Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy, compares the size and scale of migrant
caravans under Trump versus those that have arrived under the Biden administration. Trump's policies,
which included the Remain in Mexico program, eliminating the Catch and Release process, and imposing the Title 42
public health authority, served as a deterrent for border crossers and illegal aliens, the study found.
I
Went to the Southern Border at 3 A.M. This Is What I Saw. It was 3 a.m. and a line of
about 40 illegal aliens stretched along a section of the border wall waiting to be transported to
the local processing center. Behind the group stood another 50 people who had crossed
the border illegally into Yuma County, Arizona. A large white bus full of illegal aliens had
just departed for the Border Patrol station in Yuma, about 185 miles southwest of Phoenix, and
would return in an hour to take the next 40. "Your country of origin?" I asked, moving down
the line. Peru, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Colombia, Georgia, China, India, and
Cameroon — nine nations were represented in a group of 50 illegal aliens. Border
Patrol confirmed that one of the women in the other line came from Russia. Some smiled as
they shared where they were from while others averted their eyes from the camera, looking down.
DCNF
Reporter Describes How 'Millions' Of Migrants 'Pour Over' The Border Under Biden. A

millions of illegal immigrants pour over the border," DCNF investigative reporter Jennie Taer told
Sky News Australia host James Morrow. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encountered
over 2.3 million migrants in fiscal year 2022, while another 600,000 migrants evaded CBP that
fiscal year, Fox News reported. CBP data noted that 1.66 million encounters took place
in Fiscal Year 2021.

a packet stamped with the International Committee of the Red Cross and American Red Cross logos,
shows a list of resources, including hotels, clinics and shelters where migrants can get support in
Mexico and Central America. The maps include clearly defined lines leading to cities along
the U.S. border. The organization also has a guide to "self care" along the journey, which
includes tips on how to survive the desert and disease, how to safely jump on trains, and how to
obtain contraceptives.

calls for tax hikes to pay for more illegal alien 'processing'. How this for a

in his $6.8 trillion budget plan to pay for more free services to "help" foreigners who have
crossed illegally into the U.S. [...] The 960 new personnel would solely consist of Border Patrol
agents to catch illegal border crossers, not to send them back but to hand them over to additional
Homeland Security personnel to "process" on an industrial conveyor-belt scale, sending them on to
their destinations of choice throughout the U.S., work permits in hand, supposedly to await their
asylum hearings, since all asylum claims are treated as equally serious and exceptional.
Mexican
president threatens to meddle in US elections with 'information campaign' against Republicans.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Thursday threatened to launch an "information campaign" in
the U.S. against Republicans, telling Mexicans and Hispanics not to vote for them unless U.S. lawmakers
change their treatment of Mexico — an apparent threat of election interference by the head of
state in response to U.S. calls for action against cartels smuggling fentanyl across the border.
"Starting today we are going to start an information campaign for Mexicans who live and work in the United
States and for all Hispanics to inform them of what we are doing in Mexico and how this initiative by the
Republicans, in addition to being irresponsible, is an offense against the people of Mexico, a lack of
respect for our independence, our sovereignty," he said.

RNC,
Vermont GOP Sue City Of Winooski For Letting Noncitizens Vote On Spending State
Funds. On Thursday, the Republican National Committee and the Vermont Republican
Party announced they are suing the city of Winooski, Vermont for allowing noncitizens to vote in
school board elections and on education budget referendums. Two concerned Winooski residents
are also a part of the lawsuit. The lawsuit comes after the Vermont Supreme Court ruled
against the RNC's previous lawsuit asking judges to find noncitizen voting unconstitutional.
While the court argued the Vermont Constitution did not categorically bar noncitizen residents from
voting in municipal elections, it did find that votes with statewide implications would require
United States citizenship, an RNC spokeswoman told The Federalist. That is why the RNC's
lawsuit is narrower in scope this time. It only argues that allowing noncitizens to vote on
Winooski's school board members and education budget is unconstitutional.
Biden
Administration's 'Catch and Release' Border Policy Struck Down by US Judge. The
federal government's program of releasing many illegal immigrants rather than holding them until
their cases are resolved violates federal law, a U.S. judge ruled on March 8. "The evidence
establishes that Defendants have effectively turned the Southwest Border into a meaningless line in
the sand and little more than a speedbump for aliens flooding into the country," U.S. District
Judge Judge T. Kent Wetherell, a Trump appointee, said in the ruling. Wetherell struck down
Alternatives to Detention, a program through which President Joe Biden's administration has
released more than one million aliens into the U.S. interior. Florida Attorney General Ashley
Moody, a Republican, sued the government in 2021 over the policy, arguing the catch-and-release
policy violated federal law. Biden administration officials have claimed they had the
discretion not to hold immigrants and that Florida lacked standing.
Joe
Biden Doesn't Seem Willing to Take the Most Important Step - Declaring the Cartels Terrorist
Organizations. Under Trump, the focus on fighting the fentanyl crisis was on China
and the chemicals coming in that make fentanyl. But at the time, the chemicals began shifting
to Mexico and the cartels were taking over the majority of the production south of the
border. So while Trump was focused on his wall and beefing up security, his administration
was focused on illegal border crossings, and not paying as much attention to seemingly legit
crossings bringing pills into America. And now, under Biden, it's a mix of an open-border
policy (in all but name), lack of commitment to protecting American interests from the cartels and
from China, and a bumbling, reactive administration with seemingly no plans, just responses.
Federal
Judge Deep-Sixes Biden's 'Catch-and-Release' of Illegal Migrants. A federal judge in
Florida has shut down President Joe Biden's catch-and-release rules — and his
quasi-legal "parole pathway." "For the most part, the Court finds in favor of Florida
because, as detailed below, the evidence establishes that [Biden's deputies] have effectively
turned the Southwest Border into a meaningless line in the sand," district court Judge T. Ken
Wethererell, a Donald Trump appointee, wrote.
Federal
Judge Rules Biden Border Policies Unlawful, Make Border "Meaningless". After the
Biden regime released tens of thousands of migrants into the United States by using humanitarian
parole, a federal judge in Florida put the administration on blast and ruled that its actions were
unlawful. As the Biden administration worsens the country's immigration crisis, it has been
using parole as a tool to prevent overcrowding at the U.S.-Mexico border. This allows
migrants to enter the U.S. more quickly than they already were able to. A lawsuit was filed
by Republican Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody alleging that the administration's use of
parole at the border is illegal, as it is supposed to be used on a "case-by-case basis for urgent
humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit."

year in June, Office of Emergency Management Commissioner Zach Iscol said during a recent City
Council hearing. The cost for the "asylum seeker crisis" could double to $2.8 billion in the
next fiscal year, Iscol told the panel during a hearing last week. He said the city cannot
maintain that support. "The city is at the end of its resources. This is not
sustainable," Iscol said. "It's why we have asked the state, it's why we've asked the federal
government for support."

Life Among the Ruins.
A once secure border no longer exists. Joe Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas simply demolished it
and allowed 6-7 million foreign nationals to cross illegally into the United States without
audits — to the delight of their apparent constituent, President Andrés Manuel
López Obrador. What would shame a Biden or Mayorkas? What would change their
minds? Billions of dollars spent on social services for the lawbreaking at the expense of the
American poor? Would 100,000 annual lethal overdoses — 12 times more than
those who died over 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan combined — from drugs that flow
across the open border sway them? Or would it take 200,000, or 300,000 deaths before Joe
Biden relented and ceased his chuckling? What does a people do when its highest officials
simply renounce their oaths of office and refuse to enforce laws they don't like? Everyone knows
the border will eventually have to become secure, but none have any idea whether it will take another
20, 30, or 50 million illegal entrants and 1 million more fentanyl deaths to close it.
Biden
authorities diddle around without charging illegals who shot a bald eagle for supper.
When someone harms or destroys a bald eagle in this country, the federal penalties are swift and
draconian. Like it or not, it's the law. But there seems to be an exception to it now:
When the perpetrator is an illegal. [...] So there they were, all set to cook and eat the national
bird for dinner. It calls to mind that over in Venezuela, the locals took to eating zoo
animals to stave off hunger. But these guys apparently had money for an expensive gun, which
rather suggests that the motive wasn't exactly hunger. The U.S. bird is an internationally
well-known symbol, and well, illegal border crossers do what they want.
Quietly,
a Huge Potential Victory for Border Security. The Biden administration has bowed to
reality and is proposing to radically alter asylum policies at the border. On February 21,
without much fanfare or notice, the Biden administration proposed a rule that endorses the Trump
administration policy regarding asylum seekers at the border. If enacted, no longer would
asylum seekers automatically be admitted to the U.S. The new rule would deny asylum to anyone
who crosses the southern border without authorization after traveling through a third country on their
way to the U.S. Trump was called a "monster" for trying to enact this rule, even though the
third-country requirement is consistent with U.S. law. It just had never been used
before. Biden has finally embraced reality at the border.
Biden's
DHS Funnels $350M to Illegal Aliens Released into U.S. Communities. President Joe

the United States-Mexico border. This week, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced that
the agency would be spending some $350 million on the Emergency Food and Shelter Program,
specifically to fund support services for border crossers and illegal aliens arriving in various
U.S. towns and cities.
Arizona
Sheriff: Migrants Tell Us They Crossed the Border Illegally 'Because Joe Biden Said We
Could'. The Republican-controlled House Homeland Security Committee held a hearing
Tuesday to examine the Border Crisis, hearing testimony from various witnesses, including Rebecca
Kiessling, a grieving mother whose two sons died of fentanyl overdoses. Other witnesses
included Pinal County, Ariz., Sheriff Mark Lamb; Robert Trenschel, a Yuma, Arizona hospital
executive; and David J. Bier Associate Director of Immigration Studies at the CATO
Institute. The hearing, titled, "Every State is a Border State: Examining Secretary Mayorkas'
Border Crisis," focused on how the Biden administration's open border policies have led to a deadly
spike in illegal narcotics smuggling. According to Sheriff Lamb, when officials ask illegal
immigrants why they crossed the border into the United States, they answer "because Joe Biden said
we could." "This is the reality of what we deal with every day," he stated.
Migrant
encounters at southern border hit 1,000,000 mark for FY 2023, outpacing prior year:
sources. Migrant encounters at the southern border have already surpassed the one
million mark for Fiscal Year 2023, multiple Customs and Border Protection (CBP) sources tell Fox
News, marking an unprecedented pace for encounters. As of Friday [2/24/2023], the total
migrant encounters at the border were at 1,008,217 for the fiscal year, which began in
October. Of those, 87.8% were single adults. Just 328,454 were expelled under
Title 42 — the pandemic-era protocol that allows border agents to rapidly expel
border crossers. There were more than 1.7 million encounters overall in FY 2021 and
over 2.3 million in FY 2022. The first months of FY 2023 have outpaced those
of the prior fiscal year. This time last year, numbers for FY22 through March 1 were
839,819 — well under the 1 million mark.
Some
Basic Questions Democrats Can't (Or Won't) Answer. On the border, I'll make this
quick: Why do you call illegal aliens "migrants"? "Migrants" migrate, it's right there in their
name. The millions of people flooding across the southern border at your invitation and
urging aren't planning on going anywhere; if they aren't deported, they'll never leave. They,
therefore, are illegal aliens. Words matter, or so you people who call everyone a bigot who
refers to a guy in a dress as "he," so why don't they matter at the border? Migrants enter
the country for specific work, generally the harvesting of crops, then go home after completion
with their pay. Illegal aliens stay, avail themselves of our social safety net —
clog emergency rooms, slow down the education process of American kids while costing the system an
untold fortune, receive welfare benefits, etc. — and will never, short of a mega lottery
win, be a net benefit to society, even if they were made legal.
Cloward

the Cloward-Piven strategy, as Elbel puts it, "remains an active instrument of change in

other pressure points of American society being clogged and hamstrung by the nonstop avalanche of
C-P red tape. [...] The southern — and now northern — borders are beyond
overwhelmed. Border Patrol agents are taken away from the flood of illegals and reassigned to
paper-pushing, babysitting, and chauffeuring gigs. And the flood continues unabated. As
the immigrant invasion continues — over 5 million by current estimates —
local support structures and systems are overwhelmed: schools, housing, law enforcement, retail
outlets are unable to cope. The damage is not reserved to the systems. Visit a local
hospital E.R. And not just in towns in Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma, and California.
Identical issues around the country are similarly effected as "got-aways" and exported aliens make
their way to Chicago, New York, Miami, L.A., San Francisco. All those cities already had
overcrowding problems left over from the COVID-19 "pandemic." Crime stats are skyrocketing,
primarily in Democrat-governed cities and blue states.
'Migrant'
shot dead by Arizona rancher, 73, was cartel drug smuggler, says ex Border Patrol chief. The
migrant shot dead by an Arizona rancher on his land last month was likely a cartel drug smuggler or scout,
according to a former Border Patrol chief, who says the area is known for 'violence'. George Alan Kelly,
73, was arrested on charges of first degree murder for shooting Gabriel Cuen-Butimea on January 30 at
his home. That charge has now been downgraded to a second degree murder charge. He denies the
murder, insisting he only ever fired warning shots when he saw what he perceived to be a gang of cartel
smugglers on his land.
More
Than A Dozen Illegal Immigrants Found In Texas Storm Drain. Authorities discovered 17 illegal immigrants
in a storm drain in the border city of El Paso, Texas, the sector's acting Border Patrol chief said Wednesday
[2/22/2023] on Twitter. "Working together, #ElPaso Station agents & the El Paso Fire Department @EPTXFire,
rescue 17 migrants from a dangerous storm drain tunnel. After making an illegal entry into the U.S., the
migrants attempted to evade Border Patrol detection by utilizing this hazardous tunnel. @CBP," U.S. Border Patrol Acting
Chief Peter Jaquez for the El Paso sector wrote. Federal authorities have seen record surges in illegal
immigration at the southern border in recent months. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) encountered more
than 2.3 million migrants in fiscal year 2022 alone.
Migrant
hotels fatten Manhattan's real estate interests — and crush its small businesses. Who says
Democrats are the party of the little guy? Turns out that Joe Biden's open borders, which has led to the creation
of migrant hotels in central Manhattan, has been a money-spigot for the city's real estate interests — and
hammered the city's little-guy small businesses. And take a wild guess as to which ones kick back campaign
donations to Democrats. [...] By importing tens of thousands of indigent foreigners into the U.S., who otherwise would
not be here, the Democrats' favorite constituency, the rich, are automatically bolstered, coming at the expense of the
small fry. The migrants amount to perfect pawns through the funnel of city contracts because no expense is spared
on migrants by the state and local governments. That cash goes to local real estate interests at full fare with no
bulk discounts given to the city. All the same, it's draining the city coffers. But instead of cutting back
on services for migrants as the money runs low, New York's Mayor Eric Adams is calling for federal funds to keep the
payments to the big guys, and he may eventually get them. As for the small business owners who rely on the tourist
trade, well, tough luck. The migrants get free meals paid for by the city, in quantities so huge they reportedly
waste tons of it daily. That doesn't matter to the big guys, who get paid up front.
Now
We Know Why Mayorkas Won't Secure the Border. We have the worst border crisis in history, and the Biden
administration insists that our southern border is secure. This disconnect between the narrative and reality is
the reason why Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is currently facing potential impeachment. Yet,
after watching his interview with CNN's Chris Wallace, it all makes sense. "Our goal is to achieve operational
control of the border, to do everything that we can to support our personnel with the resources, the technology, the
policies that really advance the security of the border, and do not come at the cost of the values of our country,"
Mayorkas told Wallace. "The law needs to be changed if it does not either meet our highest ideals or actually
proves to be functional in the service of those ideals." Mayorkas remains defiant in the face of Republican efforts
to oust him, but when Wallace pressed him on his insistence that the border is secure, he gave a very telling answer.
New
York Businesses Suffer Because of Migrant Hotels. The Gateway Pundit reported that more than 36,400
illegal migrants have arrived in NYC in the last few months and city taxpayers have spent millions caring for these
invaders. NYC officials have placed them in at least 14 hotels at zero cost. Felipe Rodriguez, a
whistleblower who has been an employee at the Row Hotel since 2017, shared his concerns with Fox News, "The chaos that
we see at the Row today is compiled by migrants being drunk, drinking all day, smoking marijuana, consuming drugs, and
domestic violence, uh, people having sex in the stairs, young people, teenagers, they use the fire exit stairs to go in
there and do that they do."
Report:
Joe Biden Weighs Expanding Foreign Competition Against Working Class Americans. President Joe Biden is
weighing expanding foreign competition in the labor market against working class Americans by offering green cards to
foreign visa workers, a new report suggests. An exclusive report from Fox News's Adam Shaw reveals that Biden is
considering allowing foreign workers on H-2A agricultural visas and H-2B non-agricultural visas to apply for and secure
green cards to remain permanently in the United States labor market.
Biden's
Labor Market: 1.9 Million Fewer Americans Working, 2 Million Foreign Workers Funneled into U.S. Jobs. At
the end of 2022, 1.9 million fewer Americans were working than in 2019 before the Chinese coronavirus pandemic while
President Joe Biden's administration has funneled two million additional foreign workers into United States jobs.
A new analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) shows that in the fourth quarter of 2022, close to two
million fewer native-born Americans were working in jobs compared to the same time in 2019 while two million
foreign-born workers have been added to the workforce compared to the same time period.
Impeaching
Mayorkas is a Waste of Time. House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy and other House Republicans are floating a
motion to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, as if that would end the invasion of millions of
foreign nationals at our Southern border. How does that work, exactly, when this open-border agenda goes right to
the top. If Mayorkas is removed, wouldn't President Biden just appoint another open-borders guy to fill his
slot? If House Republicans do any impeaching, to stop the lawless flood of foreigners into the United States, it
seems they would need to impeach the official Border Czar and her Boss — both of them, together. While
it may be a first, 'dual impeachment' of both president and vice president is not such an outlandish idea when you
consider that the Democrats impeached Donald Trump twice.
U.S.
Supreme Court cancels arguments in Republican bid to keep border expulsions. The U.S. Supreme Court on
Thursday canceled scheduled arguments in a case in which Republicans sought to keep in place a policy introduced under
former President Donald Trump that has let American officials quickly expel hundreds of thousands of migrants at the
U.S.-Mexico border. The policy, known as Title 42, was implemented by Trump's administration in March 2020 - early
in the COVID-19 pandemic - as a measure tied to a public health emergency.
State
Planning to Move 658 Migrants to Vacant Kmart on Chicago's Southwest Side. The Illinois Department of
Human Services is preparing to move 658 recent migrant arrivals into a former Kmart in Chicago for temporary shelter,
WTTW News has learned. The 100,000-square-foot store has sat vacant at the corner of 71st Street and Pulaski Road
on the city's Southwest Side since 2016. Sources said the migrants — mostly asylum seekers —
will be relocated from the suburbs, where they are currently staying at hotels. According to documents WTTW News
obtained, the site was selected because of its nearby resources and because it is in a welcoming neighborhood.
Migrants
are Paying $10,000 to "Financial Sponsors" to Sponsor Them. Who could have possibly predicted this
entirely inevitable outcome? [...] ["] Pedro Yudel Bruzon was looking for someone in the U.S. to support his
effort to seek asylum when he landed on a Facebook page filled with posts demanding up to $10,000 for a financial
sponsor. It's part of an underground market that's emerged since the Biden administration announced it would
accept 30,000 immigrants each month arriving by air from Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua and Haiti. Applicants for the
humanitarian parole program need someone in the U.S., often a friend or relative, to promise to provide financial
support for at least two years.["] The arrivals have enough money to pay for financial sponsors, but they
have no intention of reporting how much money they have because they want to be on government benefits as soon as they
can. Financial sponsorship is supposed to prevent the arrivals from becoming a public charge, but the whole thing
is a scam because that's the purpose of the exercise.
Biden
downs more balloons — that monitor the border. This story hasn't drawn many headlines (for
obvious reasons), but it's the latest in a series of very clear signals that not only is the Biden administration not
making any effort to close the southern border, but it is actively working to make the job of the Border Patrol
harder. The CBP had been operating a dozen blimps with cameras to monitor some of the more remote regions of the
border. For the most part, they don't actively help in capturing illegal aliens who enter the country, but they do
allow Customs and Border Patrol to monitor and count the number of "gotaways" that make it into the interior of the country.
Last year, however, eight of the balloons were eliminated. And now the final four are being taken offline.
Biden
Finally Finds a Balloon He Wants To Take Down: Surveillance Blimps at the Southern Border. After refusing
for days last week to shoot down China's spy balloon, the Biden administration finally found airships they are happy to
take down: surveillance blimps that monitor the southern border. The Biden administration is taking the blimps,
which allow agents to detect illegal migrant activity over long periods of time, out of commission due to funding cuts,
Fox News reported. While there were 12 surveillance balloons in operation last year, only four remain.
Customs and Border Protection agents told Fox that the removal of the blimps, known in the agency as their "Eyes in the
Sky," will drastically hinder their ability to track illegal immigrants who evade detention at the border. As of
January, there were 1.2 million "gotaways" since Biden took office.
The
Most Infuriating Part of Benedict Biden's SOTU Speech Relies on Americans Being Stupid. The border crisis
in 100% Joe Biden's fault. You can argue that congressional Democrats have a hand in it. You can point to
feckless policies by governments in border states. But at the end of the day the reason that we are experiencing
the worst invasion of illegal aliens that our country has ever seen is because the Biden-Harris regime has opened the
borders. They can claim they haven't. They would be lying if they did. Every aspect of their border
policy encourages illegal aliens to cross. Everything they've done to remove border security has worsened the flow
of drugs and other illegal merchandise. They have harmed this nation immeasurably, all the while putting innocent
children in danger as they're raped and trafficked throughout their journey to the border.
World's
tallest Holiday Inn booked solid by Eric Adams for NYC migrants. New York City is converting the world's
tallest Holiday Inn hotel into the Big Apple's sixth mega-shelter for its surging migrant population, Mayor Eric Adams
announced Tuesday. The deal will supply 492 rooms for adult families and single women, Adams said in a
statement. "With more than 44,000 asylum seekers arriving in the last 10 months alone, we have helped provide
shelter and support to nearly as many asylum seekers as the number of New Yorkers we already had in our shelter system
when we first came into office," he said. Terms of the contract weren't announced, but The Post reported last
month that the owner of the 50-story hotel in Manhattan's Financial District had an agreement in place to charge NYC
Health + Hospitals a nightly rate of $190 per room.
Hmmm... What other directly adjacent country can we send them to? Some
migrants bused to Canada already heading back to NYC. Blame Canada. Overrun by asylum-seeking
migrants sent to the city from southern border states, New York has been offering free bus tickets to the Canadian
border for migrants wanting to start a new life up north, but some are turning straight back around. Ilze
Thielmann, the director of nonprofit Team TLC — which has been organizing busses to Plattsburgh, where there
is an unofficial crossing to Montreal — said the reality isn't as rosy as people expect. She told CBS:
"They think that there are all these jobs up there. They think they're going to be able to get asylum very easily
up there and that's just not the case." The [New York] Post first reported about the controversial program last
week, with migrants receiving free tickets at the Port Authority bus terminal courtesy of charities funded by taxpayers.
New
York Taxpayers Give $2.1 Billion to Illegal Immigrants with Large Sums Lining Pockets of Landlords. New
York taxpayers spent $2.1 billion on a program to support illegal immigrants, with much of the money going to landlords,
a recent report from the Urban Institute reveals. The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) explains that the
report from the Urban Institute centered around the Excluded Workers Fund (EWF), which provided funds to illegal
immigrants who had been excluded from unemployment insurance programs due to their illegal status. Much of the
money ended up in the hands of landlords. The EWF had two benefit levels: a one-time payment of $15,600, which CIS
notes was received by 99 percent of beneficiaries, or $3,200 for the other beneficiaries. CIS also clarifies,
"Those with the smaller amounts did not have to meet a different set of requirements; rather, they simply had less
plausible applications."
NYC
and Illegal Aliens Quit on Each Other, City Now Sending Them to Border. Liberals are fond of saying they
are for welcoming illegal aliens and for sanctuary cities. But when those illegal aliens are sent to sanctuary
cities like New York or liberal holiday bastions like Martha's Vineyard, then suddenly you get meltdowns and accusations
that shipping people there is "human trafficking." That's what liberals accused Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis of
when he shipped just fifty people to Martha's Vineyard. NYC Mayor Eric Adams threw fits when he didn't even get
anywhere near the numbers that have been flooding into smaller less equipped border towns in Texas. Now in what
has to be a true exercise in hilarious irony, it looks like both NYC and the migrants have had enough of each other and
NYC is engaging in a little "human trafficking" of its own.
Rancher,
73, is charged with murder on his Arizona land after shooting dead Mexican, 48, who had history of illegal crossings
into US and multiple deportations. An Arizona rancher has been charged with first-degree murder and had
his bail set at a whopping $1million for fatally shooting a Mexican citizen on his property. George Alan Kelly,
73, was arrested following the January 30 fatal shooting of Gabriel Cuen-Butimea, 48, on his ranch in Kino Springs,
just a mile and a half north of the US-Mexico border. Authorities are still investigating the fatal shooting, with
the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's chief deputy saying it does not appear that Kelly knew Cuen-Butimea ahead of the shooting.
In
New York City, migrants become a hot potato, passed to Canada. For all of New York Mayor Eric Adams's
whining about migrants rolling into his sanctuary city, inflicting unbearable costs onto taxpayers, he's quietly decided
to play the same game the Texas border cities are playing. He's sending the migrants to someplace else. [...] So
Canada's the new destination of choice for the much-passed-around migrants. New York City, following an absurd
money-is-no-object policy of free housing for all who ask for it, found it couldn't give migrants the kind of housing to
which they were accustomed, when it rescinded its free Times Square hotel rooms to single male migrants trashing the
joints there, and tried to move them into communal housing in "faraway" western Brooklyn, complete with three hots and a
cot, plus free transportation to Manhattan. That was nothing compared to the room service and free laundry they
were getting in central Manhattan on a prime real estate location, so after a period of protests and squatting in the
New York winter, they are now looking for greener pastures, with New York City confident that Canada will hand it out.
The Editor says...
The scenery in Canada in February will be a real eye-opener for those who were living in Central America a few weeks ago.
Migrants
abandon NYC for Canada with taxpayer-funded bus tickets. Disgruntled migrants fed up with the Big Apple's
crime and grime are taking off to the Great White North — on bus rides paid for by New York taxpayers, The
[New York] Post has learned. National Guard soldiers have been helping distribute tickets at the Port Authority
Bus Terminal in Manhattan to migrants who want to head upstate before crossing into Canada, several migrants said.
Venezuelan native Raymond Peña and his family arrived at a gas-station bus stop in Plattsburgh, NY —
about 20 miles south of the Canadian border — at 4 a.m. Sunday. "The military gave me
and my family free bus tickets," Peña said. "I am going to Canada for a better quality of life for my
family." A National Guard source confirmed that soldiers at the bus terminal were directing migrants to workers
who hand out the free tickets.
They're not fed up with the Democrats who invited the whole world to cross the Mexican border, but... NYC
residents are just about fed up with the migrants. Officials in New York City finally managed to clear the
mob of illegal migrants who had been protesting inside and in front of the Watson Hotel in Manhattan this week.
Encouraged by liberal activists, the migrants were fighting the plan to move them to a new shelter that was established
in Brooklyn. The protest was taking place in and around the formerly luxurious hotel that they had completely
trashed. Some of the aforementioned activists were cheering the migrants on, but as the New York Post editorial
board pointed out yesterday, a very different effect was being observed among members of the local community. The
city has been emptying its coffers to give these illegal aliens free meals and fancy hotel rooms that previously cost
upwards of $300 per night, and the migrants responded by trashing the neighborhood and refusing to clear out once new
housing was arranged. Many in the community are rightly "fuming" over this and growing fed up with the situation.
Overpopulation
Via Immigration Is a Threat to America's Environment. America is overpopulated. Unchecked population
growth over the last 70 years, driven by immigration rather than a healthy birth rate, now poses a serious ecological
threat in the American West and a monumental social and political challenge in the rest of the country. Since the
passage of the Hart-Cellar Act in 1965, which radically overhauled American immigration policy to favor third-world
migrants, tens of millions of additional human beings legally and illegally entered the country. Pew Research
estimates that without the Hart-Cellar Act, the United States would have had 72 million fewer people as of
2015. That would have been a much better America.
Washington
Post editorial board: Migrants are gaming the asylum system. In this case the news isn't the message it's
the messenger. You don't hear a leading newspaper state the obvious about the immigration crisis every day,
certainly not like this. [...] I could fault the Post for a few things here. First, the system isn't "evolving"
into this, it has already evolved. It started evolving years ago during the Trump administration and for the past
two years it has simply been growing at a tremendous rate as more and more people looking for a better life realize the
back door of a bogus asylum claim is always open. But why criticize when there's so much here that doesn't usually
wind up in a paper like the [P]ost, i.e. the fact that this parallel system is a magnet drawing people in and the fact
that people with weak cases get what they want regardless of the procedural outcome because no one ever makes them
leave. Maybe if this sort of information was included in every story on this topic, Americans would begin to
understand what is happening and why.
Biden's 'Day Of Judgement'
Awaits. Illegal immigration is a de facto "invasion" of hordes of unvetted and undocumented people from
all over the world who are pouring into our country by the millions! Biden's policy has been no immigration laws
need to be applied; just come right in courtesy of the man occupying the White House. More than 5 million
people from 2020 to year to date have not only crossed our southern border illegally, but many were even escorted over
and flown all over the U.S. Now our northern border is being invaded. Anyone who disrespects or denigrates a
country's borders has no business being in a top leadership position. The leader who ignores his country's laws
and allows illegal aliens to invade and occupy his country can only be called a traitor.
Who could not have predicted this? Migrants
turn NYC hotel into violent, drug-infested 'free-for-all': employee. A once-trendy Manhattan hotel has
become a wild "free-for-all" of sex, drugs and violence after the city began housing migrants there, an employee claimed
Tuesday [1/31/2023]. Row NYC worker Felipe Rodriguez — who told The Post earlier this month that
migrants were throwing away "tons" of prepared food at the hotel — said the facility has now descended into
anarchy. "Chaos, total chaos," Rodriguez told "Fox & Friends" when asked to describe conditions at the hotel.
"There's no accountability. There is no daily supervision to show these people that ... 'You don't destroy your
hotel. You are only there temporarily. This is not your home.'
There seems to be a little misunderstanding: Migrants
Refuse to Leave NYC Hotel, Demand Taxpayers Give Them 'Permanent Homes'. Border crossers, who arrived in
New York City on buses from Texas, are refusing to leave a luxury Manhattan hotel that city officials had placed them
in. Over the weekend, city officials sought to move migrants out of the Watson Hotel in the Hell's Kitchen
neighborhood of Manhattan and to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal where Mayor Eric Adams has constructed a massive shelter
for new arrivals. Many of the border crossers staying at the Watson Hotel, paid for by taxpayers, are refusing to
leave and have instead set up a homeless encampment outside the hotel. There, they are demanding the city "cancel
rent" and provide them with "permanent homes."
Migrants
refuse to leave NYC hotel for relocation to Brooklyn. Immigration activists are stirring the pot in New
York City. Migrants were scheduled to be moved from the Watson Hotel in Hell's Kitchen on Sunday night, but they
refused to leave. They are to be moved to a new shelter in Brooklyn with all the same services they receive at the
hotel. It's not good enough. The new shelter is at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. Mayor Adams announced
last week that the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal would be a migrant mega-shelter. It will hold up to 1,000 single adult men.
So
where does that migrant entitlement mentality come from? As if the cost alone weren't enough to make the
millions of illegal migrants brought in by Joe Biden's open borders unpopular here, the ingratitude and entitlement
mentality of these illegals now seals the deal. [...] But there's more to it than just leftists putting ideas into empty
migrant heads. News reports say that many of the migrants refusing to move are Venezuelan, denizens of the country
that was turned into a socialist dump by the late unlamented Hugo Chavez who really had a thing against private
property, or paying at all for anything. The sign featured above has a small Colombian flag and that country has
significant cultural crossover with Venezuela, as well as its own newly elected Chavista president, the loathesome
leftist ex-guerrilla, friend, and imitator of Chavez, Gustavo Petro. Odds are good that these migrants demanding
as beggars to be choosers of what kind of "free" housing they expect to get were infused with that entitlement mentality
from the day they were born, because entitlement to housing was pretty much all they ever heard about the topic from
their socialist leaders in that free press-deprived hellhole.
The Editor says...
In other words, Joe Biden is actively or passively importing tens of thousands of surly and presumptuous Communists demanding
free stuff. It is as if Cloward and Piven occupy the White House.
New
York Learns What Consequences Are After Illegal Immigrants Occupy a Hotel. New York is currently learning
the hard way that actions have consequences after a large group of illegal immigrants occupied a hotel, causing the
city's government and residents to decry the situation. Per Fox News, the illegal immigrants were scheduled to be
relocated to a new "migrant relief center" but refused to vacate the free rooms they were given. An encampment was
also set up outside the hotel's lobby. [...] There are several cities that deserve everything they are getting in regard
to what the left calls the "migrant crisis," and New York is at or near the top of the list. The city designated
itself a "sanctuary city" years ago, something its politicians and residents were keen to brag about when it had no real
effect on their lives. Now that illegal immigrants are beginning to overwhelm the system, though, it's suddenly a problem.
Don't
blame the migrants, blame the lefty activists filling them with nonsense. Why do the adult male migrants
now refusing to give up on their luxury accommodations at the Watson Hotel in Hell's Kitchen act and sound suspiciously
like American activists on the same issue? Because activists are deeply involved in the standoff itself —
and with the larger effort to ramp up illegal migration, leaving Mayor Eric Adams (and others) to deal with the resulting
humanitarian catastrophe. Like Sergio Tupac Uzurin, an activist with NYC ICE Watch who's been front and center
protesting the migrant move. He claims that some migrants who saw the Brooklyn facility they're being moved to
called it a "refugee camp." Wow, that's the exact same term used by lefty critics of Adams' other migrant
facilities. What a coincidence!
DeSantis
Wins Lawsuit Dealing With Illegal Immigrant Flights to Martha's Vineyard. Ron DeSantis set off a firestorm
back in September after sending flights of illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard, a self-described "sanctuary city"
and playground for the leftwing elite. Immediately, DeSantis was accused of being criminally and civilly liable
for giving people rides that they volunteered to take. A local sheriff opened an investigation, claiming the
Florida governor broke the law by supposedly coercing the illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, Rep. Adam Schiff
called for a House select committee on the matter. Then there were the ridiculous lawsuits filed by illegal
immigrants and government accountability groups. It was all just so absurd. If the illegal immigrants
volunteered to go and were told where they were going, how could that be illegal? And to be clear, that's exactly
what happened. No one was taken to Martha's Vineyard under the false pretense that they'd be going somewhere
else or that they'd immediately be given a job. In fact, most of the illegal immigrants were thankful for the ride
given the other option was sitting on the streets of Texas border towns with zero prospects.
Biden's
Parole Program: Migrant families rush Miami airport after GOP lawsuit. Since 20 GOP-led states filed a
lawsuit Tuesday against President Biden's new immigration plan, migrants are now rushing to fly into the United
States. Hundreds of migrants flew into the Miami International Airport Thursday and Friday from Cuba, Nicaragua,
Venezuela, and Haiti — all coming to the United States legally under the parole program. Under the new
immigration plan, the U.S. will allow 30,000 migrants from four countries to enter each month. Migrant families
are now coming to the United States earlier than expected after the lawsuit — fearing the program could end.
The
new CBPOne system is "saturated and it's chaos". That description is of a Salvadoran migrant waiting in
Embajadores de Jesus in Tijuana to enter the United States with his wife and children to claim asylum. He said he
is at the point of giving up over frustration with the new app program meant to take over for Title 42, which may
be ending shortly, depending on what the Supreme Court decides. The routine is the same every morning at the
shelter, one of Mexico's largest. Migrants wake up before sunrise and go online with hopes of securing an
appointment to seek asylum in the United States. The action is being compared to purchasing concert tickets
online. The system is overwhelmed. On any day, you can see about 100 people on their phones trying to use
the CBPOne app. New appointments are available every day at 6:00 a.m. However, migrants are receiving
error messages from the U.S. government's mobile app. It's been overloaded since the first day, January 12.
It's
Not Just the Southern Border: Illegal Crossings up 743%... in Vermont. As the crisis of illegal crossings
continues unabated at the Southern Border, migrant encounters in the state of Vermont were also up a staggering
734 percent in the period of October-December 2022 compared to the same period the prior year. While the
percentage rise is massive, the pace is still a trickle compared to what goes on at the Rio Grande. For
instance, 441 crossers were caught trying to slip into Vermont from Canada in December 2022, while a record 251,487 were
nabbed trying to cross the US-Mexico border during the same period.
As
Refugees Flood Into U.S., Chinese Christians Told To Wait. Just this month, President Biden announced
plans to allow Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, and Cubans fleeing persecution priority asylum status as long as they arrived
by plane and had private sponsors ready to help them resettle. When it comes to Chinese Christians trapped in
limbo, the Biden administration is balking, while offering no explanation for the dramatically different treatment of
these groups of foreign nationals seeking asylum. Human rights advocates believe they already have the
answer: The Biden administration is wary of further rocking the boat with China amid efforts to repair basic lines
of communication. That calculation, even if it proves temporary, is a break from America's long tradition of
standing for religious freedom at home and abroad.
Mayorkas
Smuggled 100,000 Job-Seeking Migrants Through Parole Pathway. President Joe Biden's border chief smuggled
more than 100,000 economic migrants into the United States from May to December via a hidden "parole" pathway that was
admitted on January 12. Border chief Alejandro Mayorkas — a Cuban-born, equity-above-the-law,
business-friendly, pro-migration zealot — is welcoming another 20,000 migrants per month via this parole
pathway, officials told friendly reporters at a background briefing on January 25.
This migrant
mess is ruining NYC's Midtown. Why is Mayor Eric Adams destroying Midtown? The pulsing heart of the
city, the theater, restaurant and tourism district, has not fully recovered from the COVID lockdown yet is already full
of homeless hotels with their associated problems. Now the mayor has announced he's going to turn yet another
hotel into a shelter for illegal migrants in the middle of the Theater District. The Paramount Hotel, a 600-room,
Renaissance-style gem opposite the Richard Rodgers Theatre where "Hamilton" has been playing since 2015, is the fifth
Midtown hotel converted to an "emergency" shelter in as many months. Earlier this month, tourists were paying $330
a night to stay there and prices hit as high as $1,000 around New Year's Eve.
About
160M people would like to immigrate to the US. Here's what that means. When someone in a poorer country
says she wants to become an American, it's not nice to say no. It also makes me a bit uneasy for our government to
select would-be immigrants based on the purported "value" of those immigrants. On the other hand, an immigration
lottery is so arbitrary that it seems its own sort of cruelty. The alternative, which very few people openly
advocate, is open borders: The U.S. ought to let all comers come. So, how many people would that be?
Approximately 160 million adults, according to Gallup's latest global survey. For comparison, the U.S.
currently has about 260 million adults. That is, if everyone who wanted to immigrate to the U.S. in 2021 did
immigrate to the U.S. in 2021, the U.S. adult population would increase by about 60%.
Given
That Illegal Immigration Damages America, Why Does No One Stop It? For ordinary Americans, watching the
unending flow of illegal aliens into America leads to an inevitable question: Why is no one showing the political will
to stop it? It turns out that more institutions and people than just the Democrat party benefit from that flood of
humanity, drugs, and crime. One of the big drivers of illegal immigration is the pernicious Chamber of Commerce,
once a "Main Street" organization. Big Business in America needs workers. Illegal immigrants swell the
worker pool, doing many of those supposed "jobs Americans won't do." You know, those in the construction industry,
hotels, farming, etc. To the degree that Big Business can employ illegal immigrants at wages below those wages for
legal American workers, illegal immigration is a winning issue for them. Another pro-illegal institution is the
Catholic Church. It not only solicits funds from parishioners but also generates hundreds of millions of dollars
annually for supporting the illegal alien invasion. The Chamber and the Vatican are only part of the cabal of
businesses, NGOs, and government agencies that have built an ecosystem around the illegal immigrant trade. Illegal
aliens are profitable for everyone but the American worker.
Analysis:
'Mind-Blowing' Illegal Immigration Under Biden Approaching 1% of Total U.S. Population. President Joe
Biden's administration may bring a record 2.7 million illegal aliens to the United States-Mexico border this year, new
analysis projects. For 2021, Steven Kopits with Princeton Policy Advisors accurately projected that about two
million border crossers and illegal aliens would be apprehended. Likewise, Kopits correctly projected that more
than 2.3 million border crossers and illegal aliens would be apprehended in 2022, for a total of about 4.2 million
apprehensions since Biden took office.
You brought your problems upon yourself. Eric
Adams: 'Unfair' for Sanctuary Cities to Carry the Weight of the Border Crisis. New York City Mayor Eric
Adams (D) once again took to the airwaves to say Democratic cities who declared themselves to be a sanctuary for illegal
immigrants are being stretched thin due to the large number of people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. New York
City has had to open a fifth shelter for recent arrivals from the southern border, which is in addition to using hotels
and homeless shelters to house people coming from Latin America and even parts of Asia. "Well, I believe that when I
took the trip to El Paso, you can see firsthand the impact of how it not only harm the foundation of El Paso, but look
at Chicago, Houston, Washington, New York City, this is just unfair for cities to carry the weight of a national
problem," Adams told MSNBC on Wednesday. "We're going to open for more hotels, emergency hotels... This as a
major financial impact on New York City and cities across this country that are receiving the brunt of it." Adams
said the Biden White House claims there is a person who is in charge of helping American cities with the immigration
problem, but he does not who the person is.
As
Biden's Border Death Toll Hits Record Highs, Dems Are Mute. In a data dump Friday, the Biden
administration announced that more than a quarter million people crossed the border illegally in December —
the highest ever recorded. The timing of this release was designed to bury the news, not that it mattered, since
the mainstream media have ignored the growing border crisis with fierce determination. But that's not the worst of
it. Border deaths also reached all-time highs. That news is so bad, the "most transparent administration in
history" tried to keep it hidden altogether, coughing it up only in response to a Freedom of Information Act
request. When that data did come out ... crickets. This silence is particularly galling, given that the left
was screaming bloody murder about border deaths during the Trump administration.
Biden
Wants Advocates to Pick, Import a Million-Plus Refugees. A State Department official dodged questions
about the risk to Americans created by the agency's decision to let U.S. residents select foreigners for the huge prize
of refugee status, green cards, and then citizenship in just six years. "Do you have any safeguards for
Americans?" Breitbart News asked as Assistant Secretary of State Julieta Valls Noyes walked out of a very short June 19
briefing on the legally questionable "Welcome Corps" program. She claimed there would be protections but exited
without providing any details. "This is one more way the administration is trying to make an end run around the
immigration law," responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies.
Biden
Admin Shatters All-Time Record For Number Of Illegal Alien Encounters On Southern Border. President Joe
Biden's administration broke the all-time record for the number of illegal aliens encountered on the U.S.-Mexico border
last month, according to newly released numbers. The administration released the numbers late Friday evening
likely in hopes that the news of more than a quarter of a million encounters would get little coverage in the news
media. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) had 251,487 encounters with illegal aliens last month, the highest
number ever recorded in U.S. history. Last month's numbers, combined with the first two months of fiscal year
2023 — October and November — put the U.S. on track to have more than 2.87 million illegal
alien encounters on the U.S. southern border this year.
Mexico Is
Not Really an American Friend. Left-wing Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador recently
praised a visiting Joe Biden: "Just imagine: There are 40 million Mexicans in the United States —
40 million who were born here in Mexico, [or] who are the children of people who were born in Mexico!" Why
wouldn't Obrador be delighted? Since Biden took office in January 2021, America has allowed some 5-6 million
illegal entries across its southern border. Obrador further congratulated the malleable Biden whom he apparently
sees as a kindred but complacent left-wing spirit: "You are the first president of the United States in a very
long time that has not built even one meter of wall." Translated that means Mexico is delighted the United States
now cares little about the security of its own border, the disappearance of which apparently is wonderful news for
Mexico. Note that Mexico itself facilitates illegal transits across its own southern border — as long
as such Central American and other global migrants keep heading northward into the United States.
Boston
tries to ride the immigration wave without any idea what's coming next. The Boston Globe published a story
today about the efforts of both the city and the state of Massachusetts to deal with the surge of migrants. How
many migrants wind up in Massachusetts exactly? Well it turns out no one really knows: [...] In addition to not
knowing how many people have already arrived the city and the state have no idea how many more people to expect this
year. Will it be more than last year or about the same? There's no way to know because policies at the
source are in flux. Toward the end of the story there's a kind of primer on how the current system works.
The $2,275 figure sounds like it was carefully calculated. Where did it come from? How long will $2,275 last, and what will it buy? Biden
admin launching pilot program that would allow Americans to sponsor refugees for $2,275 each. The Biden
administration is set to launch a new pilot program on Thursday [1/19/2023] that will ostensibly allow groups of
Americans to directly sponsor refugees from across the globe through the State Department program called the Welcome
Corps. The program permits groups of private American citizens to sponsor individuals through the Refugee
Resettlement Program if they can cough up enough money to do so, pass background checks, and devise a plan on how to
support them, according to Fox News Digital. It is similar to a model used in Canada. The program was first
reported by Reuters. Groups of at least five people will be required to raise a minimum of $2,275 per
refugee. Then refugees can begin the process of going through background checks.
The Editor says...
The thousands of people entering the U.S. illegally are not refugees. Some are looking for work, so they can send their money
back home to their relatives. Many are only coming to the U.S. to give birth to an "anchor baby." The rest
are looking for welfare benefits, freebies, and perhaps their first visit with a doctor.
December
was a BANNER month! (For illegal migrants). The United States remains on track to continue setting all
sorts of records, but they aren't the type of achievements any sane person was hoping for. The latest blue ribbon
to be awarded to the Biden administration is found in the revelation from Customs and Border Patrol that more than
250,000 "encounters" with illegal migrants along the southern border were recorded in December. That is the first
time since records have been kept that this has happened. And the news comes on the heels of Joe Biden's
first-ever visit to the border, where he didn't seem particularly concerned with all of the chaos that is unfolding
because of his policies. And just for the record, that figure of 250,000 does not include the estimated 65,000
known illegal "gotaways." So in reality, we were well over 300,000.
Mayor
Eric Adams: 'No More Room' for Border Crossers in Sanctuary City NYC. New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D)
says there is simply "no more room" for border crossers and illegal aliens in the sanctuary city after tens of thousands
have arrived since the spring of last year, most sent by Texas. Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on buses. Adams,
who traveled to El Paso, Texas, on Monday to get a first-hand account of the record-breaking number of illegal
immigrants arriving each month under President Joe Biden's watch, said New York City has "no more room" before
suggesting that New Yorkers have an "obligation" to the world's migrants to care for and foot the bill for their
public services.
New
York City Mayor Eric Adams Pressures Gov. Kathy Hochul To Push Migrants Upstate. Democratic New York
City Mayor Eric Adams pushed Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to relocate Hispanic migrants to the Upstate New
York area on Sunday. After months of struggling with the influx of illegal migrants sent from Texas to NYC, Adams
advocated for Hochul to move the migrants to the Upstate area. "Some of our cities are suffering. They're
losing populations," Adams stated while addressing the border from El Paso, Texas, the New York Post reported. [Tweet]
Biden's
50K Afghans Cost Taxpayers $189M in Damages to U.S. Military Bases. The nearly 50,000 Afghans whom
President Joe Biden's administration housed on five United States military bases for months through 2021 and early 2022
cost taxpayers almost $189 million in damages to the facilities, a federal report reveals. Following the U.S.
Armed Forces' withdrawal from Afghanistan in August 2021, Biden opened a refugee pipeline that has resettled more than
86,000 Afghans in American communities — many without having been screened or interviewed in person beforehand.
FL
Keys Sheriff Defends DeSantis' National Guard Deployment: The Feds Have Failed. Monroe County Sheriff Rick
Ramsay said the Biden administration is in no position to criticize Governor Ron DeSantis' (R) deployment of National
Guardsmen deal with the increase in illegal boat landings in the Florida Keys because the federal government has failed
in protecting the country's borders. Ramsay told Townhall people landing on American shores in his jurisdiction
used to happen about once a week or a few times a month and it would mainly consist of small groups of four or
five. Boats that are landing these days are coming on a near daily basis with larger numbers of people, mainly
filled with Haitians and Cubans. This has taxed the rural county's sheriff's office and EMS services as manpower
has been drawn to taking care of the ever increasing number of people who have been making landfall. In response,
DeSantis declared a state of emergency and ordered the Florida National Guard, along with state law enforcement, to be
sent to the Keys to reinforce the Sheriff's Office.
Tiny
upstate NY town facing wave of migrants. By this point, most of us have heard the phrase, 'every town
is a border town now' because of the ongoing Biden border crisis. We typically think of places like Chicago,
Los Angeles, and, of course, New York City, where armies of migrants sleep out on the streets and in makeshift
encampments. But those are actually cities, not "towns." What happens when the influx of illegal migrants
strikes an actual town, particularly a small one without all of the resources typically available in the larger
cities? Roughly six hours by car from the Big Apple, not far from the Ohio border, the people of Jamestown, New
York (population 28,000) are starting to find out. Residents of the very small village recently learned that as
many as 35 illegal migrants, almost all of them from Colombia, have settled in their town and many more are expected to
arrive soon.
The Editor says...
A city of 28,000 is not a "tiny town."
House,
Senate Republicans Seek to Overturn D.C. Law Allowing Illegal Aliens to Vote. House and Senate Republicans
are seeking to overturn a new law, approved by Democrats on the Washington, DC, City Council, that extends municipal
voting rights to illegal aliens. In October 2022, the D.C. City Council voted 12-1 to advance a bill that will
allow foreign nationals, regardless of if they have visas or are illegally in the United States, to vote in local
elections such as school board races and mayoral elections. About 50,000 foreign nationals and illegal aliens could
be eligible to vote in local elections across D.C. if the measure is not thrown out by Congress before taking effect.
Illegal
immigrants [are] trashing New York hotels at taxpayer expense. According to the New York City Council
there are 80,000 homeless New Yorkers on their streets. It is, by their own assessment, a crisis. Yet for
illegal immigrants arriving in the city, things are pretty good, because the government puts you up in luxury hotels
near Times Square, provides free meals, and lets you run wild. You can smoke drugs, get drunk, have sex in
hallways, and trash the hotel without repercussions. The problem is so acute that an employee of the (formerly)
trendy NYC hotel "Row" has become a whistleblower, filming conditions in the hotel and is risking his job to expose the
scandal. He's no racist — he's Hispanic himself and worked his way up the economic ladder the right
way. The hotel was closed to allow the city to take it over for migrant housing. It's no flophouse,
either. Located in the theater district and a block off Times Square, it was one of those destination hotels in
the heart of the city. It is becoming a dump, though.
Biden Admin Expands
Ways For Migrants To Shirk Trump-Era Border Policy. The Biden administration's new border policy makes it
easier for migrants to circumvent Title 42, a major Trump-era public health order used for expulsions to mitigate
the spread of COVID-19, by exempting many from expulsion. President Joe Biden announced Jan. 5 an expanded
legal pathway for migrants that would otherwise be expelled under Title 42 so long as they can prove they have a
legitimate need for protection. He recently began expelling Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans and Haitians, while
providing a legal pathway if they have a U.S. sponsor and apply via a phone application known as "CBP [Customs and
Border Protection] One." The Biden administration previously attempted to end Title 42, but the Supreme Court
decided on Dec. 27 to keep it in place for the time being after Republican states intervened.
The
Scariest Developments to Watch Out For in 2023. Illegal immigration is not good for the U.S. It strains
our medical and educational resources, costs billions to support people who cannot legally work here, and may increase
the crime rate. Roughly five million people have crossed into our country in the last two years. How many
are sick? How many are vaccinated, and what are they immunized for? How many are criminals or
terrorists? The government does not know and seems not to care. Republicans are not helping clarify this
issue. Regarding the border, Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz says, "President Biden does not have a plan."
Actually, he does. It is called let millions of illegals in, make them citizens, and get re-elected in 2024.
Now that Biden has visited the border, will the flood of immigrants decline in 2023? Apparently, the optics of
illegal border crossings was making Democrats nervous. So now potential migrants will be allowed to apply for
asylum in their home countries and simply fly to the U.S.
Black
Americans Score Settlement Against U.S. Farms that Replaced Them with Foreign Workers. A group of black
Americans settled their lawsuits against two United States farms for their having replaced them with foreign workers
from South Africa that were imported on H-2A visas. As Breitbart News reported in November 2021, a number of black
Americans along the Mississippi Delta filed a racial discrimination lawsuit against their former employers —
Pitts Farms and Harris Russell Farms — for laying them off only to replace them with white foreign H-2A visa
workers from South Africa. Data shows U.S. farms use the H-2A visa program to import cheaper foreign visa
workers. The black Americans who filed the lawsuit claimed they were paid $7.25 to $8.25 an hour while their
foreign H-2A visa counterparts were paid nearly $12 an hour.
'Tons'
of food gets tossed daily by NYC hotel because migrants won't eat it. Nearly a ton of taxpayer-provided
food gets tossed in the trash every day at a massive Manhattan hotel being used to house migrants — because
they'd rather secretly cook their own meals on dangerous hot plates, a whistleblowing worker has revealed.
Disturbing photos show garbage bags full of sandwiches and bagels awaiting disposal at the four-star Row NYC hotel near
Times Square, where the city pays a daily rate as high as $500 per room, hotel employee Felipe Rodriguez told The [New
York] Post. "It's a crime to be throwing out so much food," he said. Other images show a hotel room littered
with empty beer cans and bottles following a wild World Cup viewing party in November, Rodriguez said. That
gathering — in a room whose occupant "gave the key to a cousin" while she "was in the Bronx, hanging
out" — erupted into a fight over the match that left one man with a "big knot on his head," Rodriguez said.
The Editor says...
The solution is obvious: Don't prepare, deliver, or supply any food until somebody asks for it, and
asserts their intention to pay for it. If they order food and then they don't pay up, throw them
out. In the snow. At night. The word will get around quickly. Even if the city is paying the
rent, at some point you have the right to protect your business and your property.
In
Mexico, Joe Biden Promotes Plan to Make it 'Easier' for Migrants Trying to Enter the United States.
President Joe Biden promoted his plan Tuesday to make it easier for migrants to come to the United States after meeting
with the leaders of Mexico and Canada. "This has been the greatest migration in human history around the world as
well as in this hemisphere," Biden said, speaking about the ongoing migration crisis after meeting with Canadian Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau and Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador during a summit in Mexico
City. But the president did not appear troubled by the volume of border crossings and migrants flooding into local
communities in the United States, placing a burden on U.S. citizens and legal residents.
Real
Crisis Demonstrated by Democrat Governor Who Bused Illegal Immigrants Out of State. Colorado
Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, announced Saturday [1/7/2023] that he would stop busing illegal immigrants to New
York City and Chicago. You can be forgiven if you didn't know at all that Polis was busing these illegal
immigrants north. It's not like it got waves of hysterical media coverage. Sure, some news outlets did cover
the issue, but the framing was just a bit different than when Republican governors sent illegal immigrants
elsewhere. Weird, right? Polis stopped his busing policy, it seems, because New York Mayor Eric Adams and
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot made a huge stink about it. Still, it's noteworthy that a Democrat governor even
would try to bus migrants out of his state as Republican governors have recently. This whole situation brings up
two issues. First, the obvious media hypocrisy. [...]
Some Invasions
Don't Require Armies. Ducey v. Moore, currently being litigated in an Arizona federal
district court, is a case that is testing states' rights to defend themselves from invasion by Mexican drug- and
human-smuggling cartels. In response to the well-documented influx of foreign nationals entering the country
illegally, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey placed shipping containers along the state's southern border to stem the
flow. The federal government now claims that the shipping containers violate various federal regulations that it
says apply to the Roosevelt Reservation area near the border, and seeks removal of the containers. The case brings
up the fundamental question of what constitutes an invasion. Anti-borders activists scoff at the application of
the term at our border, as there are no formal armies involved. To them and others, "invasion" only applies to
events like our boys from the Greatest Generation storming the beach at Normandy or Germany's Operation Barbarossa into
Russia. But what is the goal of an invasion? If it is to penetrate, demoralize, and destabilize a nation,
then the current flow into the United States fits the definition. Cartel operatives at the border now come
equipped with military-grade weapons and surveillance technology. The fentanyl and other illicit drugs they ferry
across the border are the leading cause of death for Americans 18 to 45 years old.
Articles
of Impeachment Filed Against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Department of Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas recently called for expediting citizenship for illegal immigrants. DHS also told U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) managers they couldn't publish weekly updates about immigration incursions and apprehensions
on social media without agency permission. And Mayorkas is also now known for propping up the lie that border
patrol agents whipped Haitian immigrants when he knew it wasn't true. Between those things and the crush of
illegal immigrants at the border, combined with the increase in human and drug trafficking, crime, and the pressure on
border towns to manage the new arrivals, Republican Congressman Pat Fallon of Texas has had enough.
Biden's
Border Visit Was a Complete Farce. The American Southwest is tired of neglect in their border communities,
and a collective groan could be heard when President Joe Biden announced that he would be visiting El Paso, Texas.
Much like Vice President Kamala Harris's visit to the border was watered down, there were reports that El Paso,
Texas, cleaned up its sidewalks to make them ready for the president. He also did a photo-op at the border wall,
which is laughable in itself. The Biden administration halted border wall construction right
after he took office, and many of those materials are rusting on the ground in some sectors of the border. While
many still disagree about the purpose of a border wall, it's important to recognize that it is one of the many necessary
tools to fully secure the border. Pretty simply, his photo-op is admitting that he was wrong this whole
time. It's ironic at best, and they're truly trying to deceive people about their policies' role in creating the
current humanitarian crisis.
Supreme
Court Rejects Texas-Led Attempt to Protect Trump-Era Immigration Rule. The U.S. Supreme Court on Jan. 9
rejected a Texas-led challenge to reinstate a Trump-era policy that blocked certain immigrants from gaining permanent
residency status if they're deemed likely to qualify for government benefits. The high court didn't say why it
rejected the challenge, listing the case under its list of "certiorari denied" cases. An appeal from 14
Republican-led state attorneys general, led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, sought to rescind a lower court ruling
against their request to mount a legal defense of Trump's "public charge" rule after President Joe Biden stopped
defending the measure and later rescinded it. The policy was put into effect by the Trump administration in
February 2020 and was ended by the Biden administration in March 2021.
America's
Border Remains Open. President Trump's immigration policy reduced the flow of illegal aliens into the U.S.
This was a significant accomplishment. One of the most important aspects of Trump's strategy was the "Remain in
Mexico" Policy, referred to by DHS as Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). [...] The federal government is responsible
for securing the country's borders. President Biden has shirked this responsibility. Biden issued an
executive order ending Trump's successful immigration policy. A few months later, DHS director Mayorkas ended MPP,
opening U.S. borders. Illegal aliens encountered on the southwest border totaled 458,088 in 2020; 1,734,686 in
2021; and 2,766,582 in 2022. Nobody knows how many aliens have entered the U.S. unencountered. [...] Asylum is the
legal loophole that Democrats use to allow the massive influx of illegal aliens. Biden and Democrats know there
may be more terrorists entering the country than people legitimately seeking asylum. They don't care.
Hundreds
Of Protesters Greet Joe Biden in El Paso In His First Visit to Open Border. Protesters greeted Joe Biden
in El Paso today during his first visit to the open US Border. Since Joe Biden took over the White House the
southern border has been wide open to illegal aliens. Over 5 million illegals have already crossed into the US
during Joe Biden's watch. Democrats are done with America. This is the purposeful suicide of the country
they despise.
What does "sanctuary city" really mean? Mayors Adams and Lightfoot
demand Colorado stop sending migrants. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis informed New York City this week
that he'd be sending more buses full of migrants in the near future. The story made news after Mayor Adams of NYC
complained about it during a radio interview Tuesday. But according to Gov. Polis, the buses full of migrants
aren't new. He's been "helping asylum seekers reach their final destinations" for weeks. He says there is a
backlog of migrants wanting to leave Denver and head to New York but because of a recent storm they were stuck in
Denver. Now he's trying to undo that backlog.
Joe
Biden's El Paso Potemkin Village is buckling before he even gets there. It was all supposed to be so
well-scripted and harmonious. Joe Biden would visit the border at the politically safe, Democrat-led El Paso entry
point, make a speech about how well he's doing on his migrant surge crisis, and off camera, someone would clean up the
migrant mess in the vicinity to give Joe the backdrop to spin to the public that all was quiet and under control at the
border[.] Ummm... but in much chaos, it's really not working out the way he thought it would work out. It's
bad. [...] They've just gotten here and already they're forming a political movement, making themselves a special
interest group, protesting the badness of our country and demanding political spoils as compensation. How's that
for chutzpah in a foreign country?
Biden
Admin Spent Over $300 Million In Taxpayer Money to Fund Illegal Migrants' Dental and Health Care. By now
it's not shocking to learn that President Joe Biden favors illegal migrants more than Americans after two of doing
nothing as the southern border wreaked havoc on the U.S. In an annual report released by the U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement, the Biden Administration spent hundreds of millions of dollars to ensure illegal immigrants were
well taken care of. The ICE Health Service Corps' budget was about $324 million, which was an
$8 million increase from the year prior. According to the report, the money was spent on providing "direct
care — including medical and dental health services — to over 118,000 non-citizens housed at 19
IHSC-operated facilities throughout the United States, which exceeded 1.1 million visits over the course of the
fiscal year."
El
Paso Migrant Camps Cleared Ahead of Biden's Visit. President Joe Biden is finally headed to the
U.S.-Mexico border, which has been in a state of crisis since he took office, and it appears when he visits El Paso, the
true reality of the situation might not be evident. Due to the recent influx of illegal immigrants in the El Paso
Sector, local shelters have been out of capacity for weeks, forcing many to camp out on the streets in different areas
of downtown. But there are now reports of the camps being cleared ahead of Biden visiting the city on Sunday.
The Editor says...
Here's how to get an accurate picture of the border: Announce a presidential trip to El Paso, and then
have him go to Laredo or Del Rio instead.
Mayorkas
Insults Our Intelligence yet Again When Asked About Biden's Upcoming 'Border Visit'. Shockingly enough,
the Biden White House's Thursday announcement that Joe Biden was set to finally visit the southern border during his
trip to Mexico for the so-called "Three Amigos Summit" has had the mainstream media pressing for details the
administration has so far been reluctant to give. One tidbit we recently learned that shines an unflattering light
on Joe Biden's trip is that downtown El Paso has reportedly been "sanitized" ahead of his visit, with the migrant
encampments that had previously cropped up being quietly moved out of sight. This has led to more speculation that
Biden's pit stop in El Paso will be an epic photo op flop, much like his "border czar" Kamala Harris'
trip to El Paso in June 2021 was.
Bordering
on Nullity. Nearly 5,000,000 illegal aliens have entered the United States since Biden took office.
Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas has repeatedly assured us that the border is secure. He has
established himself as the Baghdad Bob of the Biden administration. He ought to be run out of town on a rail, but
it should be noted that he has faithfully executed administration policy. Biden followed up word of his weekend
trip to El Paso with a late morning speech pretending that he will do something to stem the tide of illegal
immigration. [...] As usual, Biden stood before a teleprompter in the Roosevelt Room and struggled to read the text as
it scrolled before him. Biden opened his remarks by blaming Republicans for the crisis that Mayorkas has declared
not to exist.
El
Paso clears downtown of expansive migrant camps ahead of Biden visit. City sidewalks that transformed into
makeshift homeless camps as tens of thousands of illegal immigrants were released into downtown El Paso in recent months
have been cleared out ahead of President Joe Biden's arrival Sunday. The hundreds of people camped out on
individual blocks surrounding the Greyhound Bus Station and Sacred Heart Church have been moved out of eyesight by local
El Paso police officers and federal Border Patrol agents, according to four law enforcement officials who spoke with the
Washington Examiner on Thursday.
Investigation
Uncovers Shocking Facts About Who's Facilitating Biden Border Crisis. As part of the Oversight Project's
work to document NGO involvement in the border crisis, the Project launched an investigation which ultimately obtained a
sampling of approximately 30,000 unique and anonymized mobile devices that were geofenced to a number of these NGOs
along the border. These locations were chosen based on human source information, as well as open-source
intelligence, that they may be involved in helping illegal aliens travel from the border to various parts of the
interior. Device pings were captured throughout the month of January 2022, in four different phases: [...] Phase
Two results demonstrated that these 22,000 devices were later traced to 431 separate U.S. congressional districts out of
a total 435 congressional districts. Of the 52 congressional districts with the highest density of devices, 71%
were Republican congressional districts. Of the 5,000 devices captured in Phase 3, they were later traced to
all but one congressional district, and of the 3,400 captured in Phase 4 — all at just one NGO
location — those phones later pinged in 433 of 435 congressional districts. In short, this is proof
that Biden's border crisis has turned every state into a border state.
Our government is failing us.
Nearly 6 million people have come across our southern border illegally since Joe Biden took office two years ago.
Not only does this administration's nonexistent border enforcement cost Americans more than $150 billion a year, it
allows illegal drugs like fentanyl to pour into our country. 60% of all fake prescription pills last year contained
fentanyl — a 50% increase in just one year. Two-thirds of all overdose deaths (more than 100,000 last
year) were fentanyl-related, and fentanyl overdoses are now the leading cause of death in Americans age 18-49.
Biden
Makes More of a Mess, Compares Illegal Aliens to Holocaust Victims. We reported earlier about how Joe
Biden had finally gotten around to making plans to go to the border. Biden also made remarks about the border,
with Kamala Harris trying to hold it together while standing behind him. The remarks were just a confused
mess. Biden didn't seem to have any idea what he was talking about. He didn't know what "CBP" stands for,
that it is Title 8 that applies to immigration, or that Title 42 has helped to prevent the situation at the border from
getting much worse. His "plan" seems to be an app that would help people who apply for asylum.
The Coup We Never Knew.
Did someone or something seize control of the United States? What happened to the U.S. border? Where did it
go? Who erased it? Why and how did 5 million people enter our country illegally? Did Congress
secretly repeal our immigration laws? Did Joe Biden issue an executive order allowing foreign nationals to walk
across the border and reside in the United States as they pleased?
They are the insurrectionists.
There's a lot of talk of treason and corruption, but I wonder, legally, what does it take to invoke charges of
insurrection among the many public servants, across the board, not only, but especially House and Senate members, who
have violated their oaths of office, who refuse to enforce any laws except those that put American citizens at risk of
life and limb while protecting illegal alien invaders? How many of these foreign invaders are being paid out of
the public treasury? And what are they being paid to do and when do they intend to do it? Stay with me a
minute here, I'm not talking about some clever internet meme or viral rant, I'm talking legally. The Supreme Court
has never ruled, as far as I know, on a case of institutional insurrection against the general public, acting against
the will, security and peace of the nation. The only ones powerful enough to commit such an act are those placed
in positions of authority by either a vote, or a rigged election. Which do you think would be more likely to
commit these egregious violations, the legally and properly elected or those who benefit from a rigged election?
If the Texas governor does this, it's bad. But this is okay: Colorado
gov planning to send migrants to New York City, Mayor Adams says. Colorado Gov. Jared Polis is
planning to send migrants to cities including New York City, NYC Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday, who says he was notified
of the plan on Monday evening. "We were notified yesterday that the governor of Colorado is now stating that they are
going to be sending migrants to places like New York and Chicago," Adams said in an interview with WABC's "Sid & Friends
in the Morning." Polis later clarified to Politico that Colorado has been helping migrants reach destinations like
NYC for weeks, but a rush for bus tickets had been created due to travel chaos after a winter storm. Polis said
the mayor of Denver, which has been overwhelmed with migrants, reached out to Adams' office to let them know that more
migrants than usual may be arriving by bus.

They say they want to import these people to vote for Democrats, socialists, communists, but they're not here to vote,
they're here to attack. They're here to trash what good is left, destroy what safety one might have felt in their
small towns and rural existence. They're here to show Americans how to rid themselves of the last vestige of
sovereign individuality and to demonstrate how to accept servility and kill them if they resist further.
California intends to employ these disassociated masses as policemen, thugs, to terrorize and dispose of those who
question their authority, any authority.
The Tyranny
in America. It never ceases to amaze me when I hear media talking heads plaintively ask, "Why won't Biden
or Harris visit the border?" They ask the question genuinely believing that if either the President or the Vice
President saw the looming existential disaster, it would change their minds. Such naiveté confirms
Dr. King's idea that "nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious
stupidity." Daily, we see the dictatorial moves by Biden and his administration. We view the tears of those
at the southern border who fear for their lives and property. As the illegals surge into the country, sexual
exploitation, human trafficking, crime, rampant drug use, violence, disease, death, and soul-searing fear continue to
suffocate Americans. [...] Of course, illegal immigration will continue. In the next two years of Biden's rule,
another five million illegals will enter the country and thus an entrenched dictatorship will take hold.
Denver
[is] 'not able to sustain' arriving migrants much longer, city officials say. The City of Denver has spent
more than $1.5 million on all aspects of sheltering arriving migrants since the first week of December and is on
track to spend $3 million by the end of the month, according to city leaders. "This has been extremely taxing
on city resources. We are not a border community. We don't have federal resources like border communities
do. So, the help that we can provide in Denver is very limited. And we're at the point where we're not able
to sustain much longer. We're at our breaking point," said Mikayla Ortega, Denver Joint Information Center
representative.
Joe
Biden Reopens Welfare-Dependent Legal Immigration to the United States. President Joe Biden's United
States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has officially reopened legal immigration to foreign nationals with
a history of using American taxpayer-funded welfare benefits. In early 2020, the Trump administration finalized a
federal regulation known as the "public charge" rule that made it less likely for foreign nationals to secure green
cards to permanently reside in the United States if they had previously used welfare programs like food stamps,
Medicaid, or taxpayer-funded housing programs. Almost immediately after taking office, Biden threw out the
finalized public charge rule imposed by the Trump administration, blowing open the door for welfare-dependent legal
immigration to the United States, for which American taxpayers will ultimately foot the bill.
Busloads
of migrants are being dropped off at Phoenix Sky Harbor daily. The number of people illegally crossing the
southern border into Arizona continues to grow, and many of them are being bused daily to the Phoenix airport, where
they are then sent to destinations across the country. Airport officials say they see between 200 and 300 migrants
every day, dropped off by the busload from border officials or NGOs from Yuma. One man who traveled from Cuba is
hoping to get to Miami. When asked why he made the dangerous journey to the U.S., he said, "Like all Cubans, it's
the American dream." Another family said that once they crossed into Yuma, they were processed by immigration in
under 24 hours. Next thing they knew, they were on a bus to Sky Harbor.
Nothing will stop the Democrats'
planned invasion across the southern border. [Thread reader] The final defeat of the American middle
class is at hand. The people threw away their last chance to do something about it at the ballot box. That
horde of illegal aliens will become irresistible pressure for the last few trillions of irresponsible government
spending needed to break the system. You will not be allowed to vote against the titanic costs mass migration
imposes on you. Big spending will get much bigger. Crime in the streets, downward pressure on wages, more
"jobs Americans just won't do" — all part of the plan. The Left will reap many political and financial
benefits from the border wave, long before the big push to let the illegals vote. Both sides of the aisle in
Washington want this migration wave. The few who have qualms about it have mostly been bought off or
intimidated into meek acceptance. The needs of the American people are not even part of the discussion.
Biden
border crisis is turning El Paso into a giant tent city. A giant tent is being put up in El Paso by
the Border Patrol as the city prepares for the end of Title 42. It is bigger than a football field and
located northeast of downtown. This project began as border communities waited to see if Title 42 would end
this month but now we know that Title 42 will remain in place at least until February. El Paso still
needs additional space for the flood of illegal migrants coming across the border. The local authorities are so
overwhelmed that they are turning the overflow of people out on the streets because there is nowhere for them to stay
while they wait to go through the asylum process. The current processing center the Border Patrol has in
El Paso won't be able to handle the need when a predicted 5,000 migrants per day cross the border and
come into the city.
ICE
apparently "loses" records of 378,000 detainees in illegal immigration program. The Epoch Times is
reporting that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials are apparently having some difficulty locating any
records of illegal aliens placed in a key federal program numbering 378,000. The program is designed to "ensure
non-detained non-citizen compliance with release conditions, court hearings and final orders of removal, according to
the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), a nonprofit government transparence advocacy group.
ICE
Can't 'Locate' Records of 378,000 Detainees. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials are
unable to locate any records of illegal immigrants taken into custody and placed in a federal program to "ensure
non-detained non-citizen compliance with release conditions, court hearings, and final orders of removal," according to
a nonprofit government transparency advocacy group. "ICE has conducted a search of the ICE Enforcement and Removal
Operations (ERO) for records responsive to your request and no records responsive to your request were found," the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University
in a Dec. 22 letter. The ICE letter cautioned that the failure to locate records sought by TRAC isn't
evidence that the documents do or don't exist. The inability of ICE to locate the requested records was described
by TRAC in a Dec. 23 statement as a "very troubling development."
Census:
Foreign-Born Population Increases Across All 50 States in 2022. The foreign-born population grew across
all 50 states and Washington, DC, this year, a result of the nation's decades-long legal immigration levels, the latest
United States Census Bureau figures show. While the foreign-born population grew nationwide, California, Florida,
and Texas saw the highest gains. California, which lost overall residents this year, added nearly 128,000
immigrants to its population.
Biden
DHS Freed over 150K Border Crossers into U.S. without Court Dates in Summer 2021. President Joe Biden's
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released more than 150,000 border crossers and illegal aliens, without a Notice to
Appear (NTA) in immigration court, into the United States in the summer of 2021, bombshell footage reveals. As
part of a lawsuit against Biden's expansive Catch and Release network, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody obtained
internal DHS footage revealing the extent to which the agency released hundreds of thousands of border crossers and
illegal aliens into the U.S. interior without court dates.
Biden's
Unopposed Imposition of Stalinism. The majority of Americans are against open borders. Once again,
what we want doesn't seem to matter. A steady wave of illegal immigration is what Biden wants and no one seems the
least bit interested in putting an end to it. Millions of unvetted migrants are streaming across the border and
being shipped to secret destinations in direct violation of U.S. immigration law. This is nothing short of
treasonous. The import of deadly drugs, violent criminals, terrorists, and COVID spreaders constitutes the worst
public safety issue since World War II. At a time when runaway inflation is driving millions of Americans into the
poorhouse, we are being forced to provide public assistance to millions of freeloading non-citizens. Local
communities are being torn apart by the influx of refugees. [...] None of this is happening by accident. "It is
becoming harder not to conclude that the border crisis is intentional," said Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana.
"Nobody is this incompetent." Of course it is intentional. Biden knows exactly what he is doing. He gets
his stooges, DHS Secretary Mayorkas and Press Secretary Jean-Pierre, to deny that the border is open, but we know they
are lying through their teeth.
Supreme
Court Agrees to Keep Title 42 Border Policy in Place Temporarily. The Supreme Court voted 5-4 on Tuesday
in favor of keeping Title 42 in place while legal challenges around the Trump-era border restriction
play out. The decision comes about a week after Chief Justice John Roberts stayed a lower-court order that
would have ended the pandemic-era policy on December 21. Title 42 allows for asylum-seekers at the
border to be expelled to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. On Tuesday, the court agreed to keep that
pause in place, granting an emergency request by 19 Republican attorneys general who warned that allowing Title 42
to expire would lead to an explosion of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border. Justice Neil Gorsuch
joined the court's three liberals in voting against the request for a stay.
This
is why Joe Biden won't go to the border. As I described last week, the crisis at the border is about to
get dramatically worse. There are tens of thousands of people waiting in camps on the Mexican side of the border
for the end of Title 42. Whenever that happens, estimates suggest there could be 12,000 to 14,000 arrivals at
the border per day. Meanwhile, the Biden administration has no coherent plan to deal with it.
Through all of this, Joe Biden has remained consistently on the sidelines. His refusal to go to the border to see
the crisis he helped create up close has become a point of perverse pride. And the media, naturally, has sided
with Biden.
Don't
Buy What Democrats Are Selling as Reality. Under their new pseudo-reality, the Democrats would have us
believe that our southern border is safe and secure when, in truth, they are open like a sieve. Illegal aliens are
pouring into our nation by the millions. Imbedded among this unchecked influx are terrorists, criminals, and
communicable disease-carriers. This unabated alien onslaught has also set up conditions for drug cartels to
infiltrate the U.S. more easily with tons of horrible drugs, which are killing American citizens daily at an
unprecedented rate. The United States' southern border is far from safe or secure.
Joe Biden
is killing El Paso with his policies. It has gotten so bad that after years of downplaying the crisis even
the MSM is starting to cover the crisis. This began, of course, just after the 2022 Midterm elections wrapped
up. There was a cone of silence over the problem — polling indicated that Americans were very concerned
about immigration. But once the votes had been cast and the Democrats for the most part saved the media clearly
felt more comfortable covering the facts. And the facts are indeed bad. Thousands of migrants are illegally
crossing the Rio Grande in the region, and it makes good sense for them to do so. The river is low and
concrete lined, making the actual passage there relatively safe and easy. The federal government does nothing to
stop the crossings, and they are there to "process" the immigrants (hand out papers and free phones), and they even
transport a fraction of them away from the city. But for many the free ride stops in El Paso itself.
The federal government just dumps the migrants on the streets with a wave and a nod, and the migrants are left to fend
for themselves. These migrants are "released to El Paso," which really just means dumped onto the locals.
America's
Growing Political Impotence. Consider, for example, how many Americans must feel watching pictures of
migrants by the thousands from all over the planet almost effortlessly wading across the Rio Grande and then, with
Washington's approval, relocating to a benefit-filled life anywhere they could travel. Not even the most minimal
pretense of legality exists, and who knows how many border crossers have criminal backgrounds? That many are also
drug smugglers or human traffickers compounds our sense of futility. Nor can anybody believe that those entering
our nation illegally will, as ordered, eventually report to authorities to be processed legally? This is a sham
spectacle where "border guards" resemble airport TSA agents directing arrivals to passport control. Further add
how the Biden administration repeatedly announces how the uncontrollable influx is "under control." Our mighty
military, armed with nuclear weapons, is daily outfoxed by impoverished teenagers from El Salvador.

Absurdities of the McConnell-Schumer Omnibus Spending Bill. [#8] Intensifying Biden's Border Crisis:
The Biden administration's open border and NGO processing operations have quickly resulted in America's worst-ever
border crisis. The omnibus spending bill would prolong this crisis and spend more good money on bad
policies. Congress should reject the omnibus, defund these operations, and, at the beginning of the next Congress,
pass a border security bill that would truly end the crisis. The omnibus spending bill would give the Justice
Department more money ($234 million) for state and local detention in the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program
to collect information on aliens [SR1] and provide it to federal law enforcement, even though the Biden administration
implements a "sanctuary country," prohibiting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement from enforcing immigration laws
or cooperating with state and local law enforcement regarding criminal aliens.
Chief
Justice Roberts temporarily deals blow to Biden administration's plan to end Title 42. Chief Justice John
Roberts issued a one-page order to stay the lifting of Title 42 on Monday. It's a temporary action, with the end of
Title 42 scheduled for midnight Tuesday night. Roberts gave the Biden administration until 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday to
respond to the stay. That is just hours before the policy is set to expire under current orders. Team Biden has been
pushing for the pandemic era policy to be halted. Nineteen red states (though Kentucky has a Democrat governor) came
together to lobby to keep the policy in place. Their lawsuit made it up to the Supreme Court. The response to Roberts'
order was typical of DHS. The department lies that illegal immigrants are being expelled back to Mexico, with or without
Title 42. The truth is that the Biden administration has tried for the past ten months to put a halt to Title 42
but has met legal challenges and loses in court.
US
Supreme Court issues 24 hour postponement - temporarily pausing lifting Title 42 border restrictions this
week. The Supreme Court on Monday [11/19/2022] delayed lifting Title 42 for 24 hours after Republicans
lobbied to keep the pandemic-era border policy in place. Conservative Chief Justice John Roberts gave the Biden
administration until 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday to respond to the stay — just hours before the policy is set to
expire under current orders. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees all border and immigration
operations, responded to the order by insisting that Title 42 will remain in effect during the time outlined by the
Supreme Court and 'individuals who attempt to enter the United States unlawfully will continue to be expelled to Mexico.'
El
Paso's migrant state of emergency is a taste of what nation faces as Biden shrugs at border crisis. Oscar
Leeser, the Democratic mayor of El Paso, has bent over backward not to "embarrass" the head of his party, President Joe
Biden. As migrants poured across the border, unmetered and unvetted, he quietly grappled with the strain on the
city's resources. He provided the shelter and food the federal government wouldn't. Hestruck private deals
with Mayor Eric Adams to alleviate the crush, busing some people to New York. Even as the City Council begged him
to point outwhat was happening, he refused. He insisted he'd been told by the Biden administration that if he was
patient, they would help. This went on for months. On Saturday, Leeser's patience finally broke. He
declared a state of emergency, admitting what had been obvious for nearly two years: The border is out of control,
and President Biden isn't doing anything about it.
Tyranny by omission.
By the time you read this, the U.S. is on course to be trampled by at least 15,000 illegal entries every day. At
half that rate, by November, 14 Customs and Border Protection agents had committed suicide this year. The fentanyl
flowing past beleaguered officers is now the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 49. Declaring a state of
emergency in a city where as many as 30 people at a time are popping out of manholes, El Paso mayor Oscar Leeser
declared a state of emergency on Dec. 17, saying he expects to grapple with up to 6,000 unlawful arrivals per day after
Title 42 expulsions end on Dec. 21. [...] Unlike concerned citizens, President Biden refuses to talk about all this,
with Democrats or Republicans. The Democrat El Paso mayor has lost patience with Washington's promises to do
something if he would stay quiet. California Governor Gavin Newsomrecently accused Biden of failing to "take some
responsibility and ownership." CNN White House correspondent Jeremy Diamond implied on Dec. 18 that the White House has
been ignoring the problem. Even our ignoble FBI director Christopher Wrayfumes at the inaction. Our border
agents, local police, and other diverted officials, are run ragged, tending to the innumerable needs created, rather
than keeping order and interdicting illegal drugs.
In
El Paso, illegals are now crawling out of the sewers. 'They're coming out of the woodwork' now has a
rather horrific comparative in El Paso, wherehundreds of illegals, at least,are now crawling into the U.S. through the
sewers. [...] If that isn't suggestive of a border out of control, what is? After all, illegal migrants are
literally being escorted in by the Border Patrol, and instead of being detained for breaking and entering without
authorization, they are now "processed" and sent on their way freely throughout the country.
Biden-Created
Border Crisis About to Get Whole Lot Worse. One of the last serious border enforcement policies left under
the Biden administration is just days away from being removed. If it can be believed, things look to become much
worse at the southern border, where tens of thousands of illegal immigrants and asylum-seekers are currently gathering.
Title 42 is a public health policy implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. President Donald
Trump invoked it to allow the quick deportation of illegal immigrants during the COVID-19 pandemic. Under President Joe
Biden, Title 42 has been caught up in a long-term legal battle. A federal judge appointed in 1994 by President
Bill Clinton recently ordered the policy removed by Dec. 21. A total of 19 Republican-controlled states filed a
request Monday with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to delay removal of Title 42.
The Biden administration also appealed the ruling, but that won't stop it from lifting the policy at the deadline.
GOP
Rep. Chip Roy Says Democrats [are] Using Migrants as 'Political Pawns'. Republican Rep. Chip
Roy, Texas, on Sunday, accused Democrats of using immigrants as "political pawns" while Americans suffer from the surge
of border crossing at the southern border near El Paso, Texas. "Democrats want to simply throw more money at the
border and then process more human beings while they're getting abused. They're the ones using them as political
pawns for their crass political purposes. They're using the Hispanic community," Roy said on "Fox News Sunday"
with host Shannon Bream. On Saturday, the mayor of El Paso declared a state of emergency as migrants were
overwhelming shelters and detainment facilities at the border. The influx comes days before Wednesday's expiration
of Title 42, a Trump administration public health welfare policy restricting migrants from entering the country.
Governor
Abbott: If Title 42 ends "it's gonna be total chaos" at the border. Texas Governor Greg Abbott spoke with
ABC's "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz for an interview that aired Sunday morning. Raddatz traveled to the
southern border to see the Biden border crisis with the governor. That's more than the president or the
vice-president (the border czar) have done. Abbott said that if Title 42 ends on Wednesday, as it is scheduled to
do, he anticipates catastrophe along the southern border. "If the courts do not intervene and put a halt to the removal
of Title 42, it's gonna be total chaos."

Texas Looks [Bad] After Over 4k Invaders Cross The Border Last Friday. Video provided to Fox News by Texas
Congressman Rep Tony Gonzales shows extreme overcrowding at the Border Patrol Central Processing Center in El Paso, TX.

only 1,040. [Video clip]
Eric
Adams warns there will be 15 busloads with thousands of migrants arriving in NYC each week after Title 42 is
lifted. New York City Mayor Eric Adams is warning that there will be 10 to 15 busloads bringing at least a
thousand migrants to the Big Apple each week once Title 42 is lifted on Wednesday. Title 42 border restrictions are
a public health order that enabled U.S. authorities to turn back most migrants, including people seeking asylum from
persecution. The pandemic-era has been extended from its original endpoint in May to this Wednesday, December 21.
Now the rubber meets the road: Is it a Sanctuary City or not? Officials
fear migrants will come to New York City in droves after Title 42 expires on Wednesday. There are new
fears that New York City could be hit with a surge of migrants. This week, Title 42, a policy that has kept many
asylum seekers from entering the country, is set to expire. Mayor Eric Adams is warning that there could be
upwards of 1,000 migrants bused into the city each and every week, if the policy is allowed to expire. It's not
clear how he arrived at that number, but it is clear that there is concern the system could be overwhelmed. The
U.S.-Mexico border has been packed with migrants desperate to get in. Few have managed to cross over. Most
are kicked out under the Centers for Disease Control's Title 42 policy that was enacted during the Trump administration
in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
L.A.
Times Poll: 65% of Americans Oppose Biden's 'Catch and Release' into U.S. for Border Crossers, Illegal
Aliens. A majority of Americans oppose President Joe Biden's expansive "Catch and Release" network
releasing tens of thousands of border crossers into American towns and cities every month, a new poll finds.
According to the latest Los Angeles Times/YouGov poll, 65 percent of Americans said Biden's Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) ought to be either detaining border crossers and illegal aliens or immediately deporting them to their
native countries after they arrive at the United States-Mexico border.
Now that the mid-term election is over... Democratic
El Paso mayor declares state of emergency amid border crisis. As recently as Thursday, the Democratic
Mayor of El Paso, Texas, Oscar Leeser, had refused to declare a state of emergency in his city, even as thousands of
illegal migrants flooded the area, with masses of people sleeping on the streets. The mayor quickly walked away
after announcing his decision without answering any questions from reporters. But yesterday, less than 48 hours
later, Leeser reversed course and declared a state of emergency as the Wednesday deadline for lifting Title 42
loomed. He claimed to have reached the decision following a conference call with federal, state, and local
officials. What remains unclear is what he will be able to do with any additional funds and resources that are
made available as a result of this declaration.
Border
disaster is not an act of God — it's an act of Biden. Don't let anyone tell you the border
isn't a disaster. Mayor Eric Adams has asked FEMA for $1 billion to cope with the consequences of the Biden
administration's refusal to enforce the border. FEMA's responsibilities include dealing with wildfires, floods,
hurricanes, earthquakes, and now, another kind of disaster: an open border. And it's about to get worse.
This Wednesday, December 21, something called Title 42 is supposed to end (though a judge may keep it going a little
longer). The program was a holdover from the COVID pandemic and allows Border Patrol agents to bounce illegal
border-jumpers back into Mexico without getting a hearing or making an asylum claim. It was the only Trump-era
immigration-related measure the Biden people kept in place, though they've been using it less and less.
Federal
judge says Biden can't yet end Trump-era 'Remain in Mexico' immigration policy. A federal judge in Texas
has put on hold for now the Biden administration's most recent attempt to end the so-called "Remain in Mexico"
program. US District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk is pausing the termination of the program that was outlined in an
October 2021 policy memo while litigation around that memo continues. The ruling marks a setback in President Joe
Biden's effort to end the controversial Trump-era policy, which sends certain non-Mexican citizens who entered the US
back to Mexico — instead of detaining them or releasing them into the US — while their immigration
proceedings played out.
Study
Finds NGOs Shipping Illegal Immigrants Across The U.S. — Republicans Respond With An Amnesty
Bill. Over the weekend, a massive caravan of more than 5,000 crossed the southern border in what is
described as "a stunning surge that shocked immigration agents, neighboring towns, and state officials." Where
will these illegals end up? Most likely, everywhere inside the U.S., courtesy of several non-profit groups
that are working with the Biden administration in an under-the-radar mass resettlement effort. An investigation by
the Heritage Foundation tracked more than 30,000 cell phones that arrived at Customs and Border Control facilities or
dozens of non-profits at or near the southern border in January 2022. It then tracked those phones over time to
see where they ended up. For example, Heritage identified more than 400 cell phones at the CBP station in Del
Rio, Texas, less than five miles from the border. Those phones later showed up in more than 40 different states.
The
GOP Is Gambling on a Bill That Could Give Conservatives a Reason to Never Vote for Them Again. I never
thought I'd see the day when some Republicans would willingly back a mass amnesty bill and be blind to the fact that the
only people who gain to benefit from this push, both in the immediate and long term, are Democrats. In the words
of Ellen Ripley, "nuke the entire site from orbit" when it comes to this bill, which we have railed against since the
first details were made public. The bill has many border security measures logrolled in, serving as an ammunition
belt for the members of Congress who need to sell this legislation back home as a border security measure. More
money for border patrol agents, salary hikes for current officers, and an expedited deportation process for migrants who
fail to meet asylum benchmarks. The flanking maneuver here is something you already know: the two million
Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients who will be put on the citizenship track and who could then sponsor
their extended family members once they're through the process. We're talking millions of people, and it doesn't
disincentivize illegal immigration. If anything, it resets for another massive amnesty move in a generation or
two, so it doesn't secure the border, doesn't take the issue off the table, and is a classic kick the can down the road
move we often see from elected officials. The only difference is it's the GOP that is going to get screwed.
Giant
Illegal Immigrant Caravans Cross Into El Paso Before Title 42 Expires. Multiple illegal immigrant caravans
have crossed into El Paso, Texas, totaling in the thousands, as people are making their way to the U.S.-Mexico border
before Title 42 will no longer be enforced toward the end of the month. Videos show illegal immigrants easily
crossing the shallow Rio Grande from Ciudad Juarez with no Mexican law enforcement stopping them. Due to the large
volume of people, they have to wait in lines after they cross and create small fires to stay warm.
Migrants
Let Into U.S. With GPS Trackers Underreported 600%. During a recent trip to Arizona, President Biden was
asked by Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy why he wasn't planning on visiting the border —
Arizona and Texas are ground zero for a migrant crisis that has spilled into the entire country[.] "Why go to a
border state and not visit the border?" Doocy asked. "Because there are more important things going on," Biden
responded. "They're going to invest billions of dollars in a new enterprise." Last month, White House press
secretary dismissed all GOP border visits as "political stunts." But the Biden Administration knows the numbers
don't look good down south — a record number 73,000 "gotaways" were logged in November; Since the fiscal year
started on Oct. 1, there have already been 137,000 "gotaways" counted, sources told Fox News. Now we know,
according to an exclusive Daily Caller report, that the Biden Administration may be intentionally downplaying the number
of migrants released into the U.S. with a GPS tracker.
Border
Patrol Union Blasts Biden, Tweets 'This Is Not Leadership, It's Cowardice'. After President Joe Biden
refused to visit the Southern border despite being nearby on a visit to Arizona — saying "there are more
important things going on" — the Border Patrol Union on Wednesday took to Twitter to blast the president's
handling of the crisis. "Joe Biden created this massive, chaotic mess at our border with his policies," they
wrote: [Tweet] Biden has not visited the border a single time during his presidency. What are the
"more important things" Biden had to do instead of dealing with the surge in border crossings? Why, he needed to
tour a Taiwanese chip manufacturing plant. Meanwhile, Wednesday brought more sad news; a 38-year-old patrol agent
was killed in a high-speed ATV crash that occurred as he was pursuing a group of migrants. He was the father of
two children. Not that important, I guess.
Treason
Lobby Tries To Pass Amnesties In Lame Duck, With Help From Traitor Sen. Tom Tillis (Chamber Of
Commerce-NC). Amnesty supporters in Congress desperately want to pass some type of reward for illegal
aliens before the GOP takes over the House in January. They offer two proposals. One will legalize illegal
farm workers; another will legalize illegals who came to the U.S. as minors (the so-called "DREAMers"). What makes
these bills a threat is that some traitorous Republicans support them. Indeed, the new DREAMer Amnesty was crafted
specifically to win that support. But these efforts to accelerate the Great Replacement might be the last chance
the Treason Lobby and its backers in Congress have to achieve Amnesty for the next two years.
Will
GOP Commit Political Suicide With Bipartisan Amnesty Bill? One of the more frustrating aspects of being a
conservative Republican is the constant need to look over one's shoulder for stealth attacks by moderate squish members
of the GOP on important issues like health care, gun control, and amnesty for illegal immigrants. Such ideological
shivs in the back always arrive under the execrable guise of bipartisanship. [...] I cannot begin to ponder what
[Senator Thom] Tillis's rationale is for signing onto this. He should probably be put into the NFL concussion
protocols because a Republican with all of his faculties fully functioning would know that this is a horrible idea.
Even Sinema's sponsorship is disappointing, given that she often acts in the best interests of Arizona even when her fellow
Democrats are excoriating her for doing so. As a native of this great state and someone who lives a mere 60 miles
from the Mexican border, I can assure this is not in the best interests of the citizenry here. The second tier
free-for-all in this bill is what is particularly galling, and makes any Republican support for it unforgivable.
It's as if they want to merely crack open the gate for a short while, then fling it all the way open when they hope
no one is looking.
Amnesty
for DACA Flunks Border Security Test. The U.S.'s nearly two-year-old border crisis continues unabated, yet
Senate Democrats and some Republicans are foolishly resuming a push to grant amnesty to hundreds of
thousands — and perhaps millions — of people living in this country illegally. There is a
simple test to determine if a given policy will reduce illegal immigration, and amnesty — whether for
Deferred Action Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients or any other group — clearly fails the test.
Illegal aliens coming to the U.S. generally want five things. They want to enter the country, stay here, work
here, send money home, and bring family here. Policies that allow or facilitate any of those five elements
encourage more illegal immigration. Policies that prevent those goals decrease illegal immigration.
Oversight
Project Investigation Uncovers Shocking Facts About Who's Facilitating Biden Border Crisis. The Heritage
Foundation's Oversight Project, and Border Security and Immigration Center, today released new information documenting
the scope not just of the Biden border crisis, but the role of non-governmental organizations in facilitating and
continuing it. In a new memo titled, "Tracking Movement of Illegal Aliens from NGOs to Interior of USA", the
Oversight Project unveiled new data showing the massive numbers of illegal aliens who have made their way to NGO
facilities physically located along the border and in border states, and subsequently traveled throughout the United
States. As part of the Oversight Project's work to document NGO involvement in the border crisis, the Project
launched an investigation which ultimately obtained a sampling of approximately 30,000 unique and anonymized mobile
devices that were geofenced to a number of these NGOs along the border. These locations were chosen based on human
source information, as well as open-source intelligence, that they may be involved in helping illegal aliens travel from
the border to various parts of the interior.
Texas
Steps Up Border Militarization with Deployment of 10 Armored Carriers. Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered
the deployment of ten M113 armored personnel carriers to the state's southern border with Mexico. The action by
the Texas governor is in response to the federal government's anticipated ending of the Title 42 migrant expulsion
protocol and the expected increase in border crossings. The ten M113 armored personnel carriers (APC) left staging
areas near Fort Hood earlier this week and are being transported by trailer to the Texas border region, according to
information obtained from Texas Military Department officials.
Seven
more Texas counties express support for declaring invasion at border; bringing total to 40. Forty Texas
counties have now declared an invasion at the southern U.S. border with Mexico, or have expressed support for Texas
declaring an invasion. More are in the process of doing so, according to sources who've spoken to The Center
Square. The most recent to join the invasion call include the judges and commissioners of Collin, Fannin, Leon,
Navarro, Shackelford, Somervell and Waller counties. They are calling on Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to formally
declare an invasion and repel it, which he has yet to do. The governor cited the invasion clauses of the Texas
Constitution and U.S. Constitution in a Nov. 14 letter to county judges and in a Nov. 16 letter to President
Joe Biden. He also wrote letters to the heads of the Texas Military Department and Department of Public Safety.
What
happens when the federal government no longer protects the states against invasion? The past few weeks
have given rise to several uncomfortable questions. [...] What is the point of voting and elections in general if the
voice of the people isn't heard? What is the point of paying for a government indoctrination system (schools) that
turns out people who vote for their own enslavement? What do we do when state governments buy votes with other
people's money, cruelly taken by force? What happens when the federal government no longer protects the states
against invasion? That last one is particularly troubling, because the states entered into a contractual
agreement, and it is being flouted, in our faces, daily. Anti-liberty authoritarians of the fascist far left
regularly lie about this fact, telling us that "the border is secure." But how is there an illegal invader crisis
in New York City and around the nation if "the border is secure"?
ICE
Caught Massively Underreporting Illegals Released into US w/o Tracking Equipment. An internal document
from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement revealed that the organization is underreporting the number of illegal
immigrants released into the US without any tracking technology by more than 18,000%. ICE distributed the document
to raise awareness internally about their "Alternatives to Detention" program. The program was put in place in
2004 in an effort to monitor illegal immigrants with ankle bracelets and cell phones as they wait for their court date
to determine citizenship. According to the Daily Caller, there are 49,459 untracked and unmonitored illegal aliens
in America. This figure is vastly different than the estimate on the ICE website, which claims there are only 266
untracked migrants.
Joe
Biden's 2023 Border Plan: Two Migrants for Every American Birth. President Joe Biden's border agency
expects 9,000 to 14,000 economic migrants per day after officials remove the Title 42 legal barrier in late December,
says CNN. The predicted inflow adds up to roughly 4.5 million migrants per year or more than one extra southern
migrant for every American birth in the United States. The southern flow of roughly 4.5 million will add to the
annual inflow of roughly 2 million legal immigrants, visa workers, and tourists illegally taking jobs.
What does Martha's Vineyard have to do with Southern poverty? Southern Poverty Law Center
sues Gov. DeSantis over migrant flight to Martha's Vineyard. Yesterday the Southern Poverty Law
Center filed a lawsuit against Gov. DeSantis arguing that Florida's flight of about 50 migrants to Martha's
Vineyard was unconstitutional. [...] I'm not an attorney but at first glance the claim that Florida was usurping the US
government's role in immigration policy doesn't make a lot of sense to me. There's plenty of evidence that once
the border patrol has walked migrants through the process of claiming asylum the federal government mostly takes a hands
off approach to what happens next. If migrants want to catch a bus to New York or Chicago or San Francisco the
federal government isn't stepping in to prevent them from doing that, at least not that I've seen.
U.S.
Air Marshals Planning Rebellion After Biden Orders Them To Southern Border: Report. U.S. air marshals
reportedly plan to "mutiny" against an order from the White House to leave their posts aboard commercial flights and
take up posts at the U.S. southern border. Dozens of marshals have promised to disobey the order in protest, Air
Marshal National Council President David Londo told The Washington Examiner. President Joe Biden has ordered U.S.
air marshals to the southern border to make up for a lack of Border Patrol agents, a move expected to leave the marshals
at one-eighth their normal coverage of U.S. flights. "The rank and file air marshals are going to refuse to deploy
and risk termination," Londo said. "You're almost going to have a mutiny of a federal agency, which is unheard
of." "Morale is so destroyed from this," he added. "I've never seen anything like this."
Joe
Biden's 'Wide Open' Border Expected to Bring 2.6M Illegal Aliens to U.S. Next Year. President Joe Biden's
"wide open" United States-Mexico border is expected to see 2.6 million border crossers and illegal aliens
apprehended next year, a new analysis projects. For 2021, Steven Kopits with Princeton Policy Advisors accurately
projected that about two million border crossers and illegal aliens would be apprehended. By this year's end,
Kopits projects about 2.3 million will have been apprehended. These estimates do not include the
hundreds of thousands, potentially millions, who will successfully cross the southern border.
Quebec
Sets Plan to Bar Most Immigrants Who Don't Speak French. Quebec Premier Francois Legault, concerned about
the decline of the French language in the Canadian province, has set a new goal for immigrants: They should all
speak French. Legault's nationalist Coalition Avenir Quebec party was re-elected with a huge majority in October,
partly on a platform of protecting French as the dominant language in the province of 8.7 million people. His
speech to the legislature Wednesday laid out his priorities for his second term, including a plan to bar almost all
economic immigrants who don't speak French by 2026.
Citizenship
and Intervening in Elections. With the ongoing invasion over the last two years by millions of foreigners
at our southern border, America has a much bigger election integrity problem than before Joe Biden became
president. So, just how did California, Arizona, New Mexico and other states with large enclaves of illegal aliens
ensure that the recent invaders (as well as the millions of previous invaders from decades past) didn't vote in
the November 8 federal elections? You see, noncitizen voting in federal elections is illegal. But
Democrats seem to see nothing wrong with the invasion. Indeed, the Left wants illegal aliens to be able to vote in
America's elections; see "Why Non-Citizens Should Be Allowed to Vote" by Ron Hayduk at Jacobin. (Americans
who believe in the ideal of citizenship won't approve of Mr. Hayduk.) However, if anyone can vote in
America's elections, then just what is the value of American citizenship? Given all the freebies the feds are
handing out to the invaders, some citizens may see the invaders as having more rights than they have.
How
the Biden admin quietly converts illegal immigrants into legal 'parolees'. Maria Esperanza Diaz Ruiz had
expected to pay a smuggler to get across the U.S.-Mexico border. Then she learned that the Biden administration's
new program would let her walk into the country at no cost as long as she had a tale of woe from back home. She is
one of the migrants taking advantage of a Biden policy that is converting illegal immigrants into legal "parolees," a
status that offers a work permit and a foothold in the U.S., according to the Center for Immigration Studies, which
observed Ms. Diaz Ruiz and others. "This is real," she told the center's Todd Bensman. "This is not a
magic trick."
National
Border Patrol President Slams Biden For 'Lying' About Border Crisis. Since President Joe Biden has taken
office, the 2022 fiscal year saw more than 2.76 million illegal migrants cross over the southern border, however,
officials say that number is higher since most encounters were never apprehended. In total, at least five million
immigrants have entered the U.S. illegally under Biden's failed border policies. And yet, the Biden Administration
insists that the crisis is under control. Meanwhile, the National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd is
accusing the Biden White House of continuing to "deflect and lie" about the ongoing problem. He accused the Biden
Administration of "trying to set a new normal" in which the liberal media is pushing the new narrative. They don't
have to make changes if the American public isn't upset about what's going on," Judd said, adding that if the liberal
media ignores the issue, people won't know how bad the border crisis is.
Politico:
The border crisis is probably about to get worse once Title 42 ends. As Beege pointed out last week, the
Biden administration won a battle in court which will put an end to Title 42 as a means of turning back migrants at
the border. As of the judge's order, the clock is now ticking with the pandemic-era rule set to expire on
December 21. [...] A group of 15 states filed a motion Monday to fight the judge's decision but there's no
telling how that will turn out. Since it was implemented in March 2020 about 2 million migrants have been
turned away under Title 42. Now that it is set to end in less than four weeks, there's a real possibility
it's going to result in significantly more chaos at the border.
The
Democrats' Plan to Give Illegal Aliens a Path to the Voting Booth. Now that the 2022 election is over,
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has condescended to announce the Democrats' plan to give a path to citizenship, that is,
a path to the voting booth, to all the people, however many millions of them, who broke US law by sneaking into the
United States illegally. However, since US citizens, by a large margin, still believe that people should actually
follow the law if they want to become US citizens, despite campaigns by the Democrats and their socialist cronies to
undermine respect for the United States and for the rule of law, Chuck could not give this information to the peasants
before the election because they would not have supported Democrats in that case.
Legalizing illegals vs. having
babies. On Nov. 16, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., stated that the United States needed more immigrants
to offset the low birth rate of Americans. He added that because of the low birth rate, the U.S. needed to provide
a path to citizenship for illegal aliens (somewhere between 11 and 40 million of them now in the country) and for
"Dreamers." Bloomberg Business Week pointed out Nov. 7 how the birth rate in America is too low to sustain and
grow the population and that the poorest and least-educated countries have the higher birth rates. The countries
that can afford children have the lowest birth rates, while those countries that can least afford them have the
highest. In "The Demographic Cliff," Harry Dent pointed out almost 20 years ago that the low birth rates in
Caucasian countries, industrialized countries, would cause tremendous problems. The Caucasian portion of the
world's population fell from 25% to 10% in just 30 years.
Republican
States Move To Keep Major Trump-Era Border Policy Amid Surge In Illegal Immigration. Over a dozen
Republican states are urging a judge to keep Title 42, a major Trump-era border policy, according to court
documents filed Monday [11/21/2022]. Arizona, Louisiana, Alabama, Alaska, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Nebraska,
Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming asked D.C. Judge Emmet Sullivan if they could
intervene in the case in which Title 42, which has been used to expel over one million migrants to mitigate the
COVID-19 pandemic, was overturned, according to the request. Sullivan ruled on Nov. 15 that the Biden
administration must end the policy in late December, giving them time to prepare for an expected influx of illegal
migrants at the southern border. When Title 42 ends, that influx will directly impact the Republican states,
they argued.
Democrats
don't want any real immigration law. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made some startling admissions
last week about his immigration views: "We have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level
that it used to. The only way we're going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace
immigrants, the Dreamers and all of them, because our ultimate goal is to help the Dreamers but to get a path to
citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented there are here." The honesty was breathtaking. For
so long, Schumer (D-NY) and his party have danced around the truth: They want to legalize anyone coming over our border
for any reason.
Joe
Biden's sneaky new 'alternative immigration program' escorting migrants in from Mexico, work permits in
hand. The ending of Title 42 COVID restrictions on illegal migrants by a federal judge pretty well
signalled to millions of migrants that the border's open and no federal official can stop them so long as they utter the
magic word 'asylum.' That alone is grounds to expect the mother of all border surges. But why stop
there? Rather than enforcing immigration laws and asylum abuse as the U.S. laws require, the White House has come
up with a sneaky new plan to spirit the millions of migrants massing now at the border in without the Fox News
helicopter cameras on them. Why secret? Because with immigration law itself not stopping the Bidenites, the
one thing that might is the public relations problem as millions of migrants surge at the border ahead of that Jan. 1
kickoff. That is why the new Biden program is being done on the quiet.
Report:
Senate Republicans Start Amnesty Talks with DACA Illegal Aliens. A handful of Senate Republicans
reportedly started talks with illegal aliens enrolled in and eligible for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
(DACA) program as House and Senate Democrats, along with corporate special interest allies, hope to pass an amnesty in
the lame-duck Congress. This week, DACA illegal aliens and open borders activists descended on Washington, DC, in
their efforts to lobby ten Senate Republicans to join Democrats in passing an amnesty — before the GOP takes
control of the House — that would secure them green cards and, eventually, naturalized American citizenship.
Yale
Study Finds Twice as Many Undocumented Immigrants as Previous Estimates. Immigration is the focus of
fierce political and policy debate in the United States. Among the most contentious issues is how the country
should address undocumented immigrants. Like a tornado that won't dissipate, arguments have spun around and around
for years. At the center lies a fairly stable and largely unquestioned number: 11.3 million undocumented
immigrants residing in the U.S. But a paper by three Yale-affiliated researchers suggests all the perceptions and
arguments based on that number may have a faulty foundation; the actual population of undocumented immigrants residing
in the country is much larger than that, perhaps twice as high, and has been underestimated for decades. Using
mathematical modeling on a range of demographic and immigration operations data, the researchers estimate there are
22.1 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. Even using parameters intentionally aimed at
producing an extremely conservative estimate, they found a population of 16.7 million undocumented immigrants.
Chuck
Schumer says we should welcome more migrants because the population is 'not reproducing on its own'.
Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer made a fresh pitch for amnesty Wednesday when he claimed the U.S. is 'short of
workers' so Congress needs to pass a 'path to citizenship' for 'however many undocumented there are here'. 'We're
short of workers, we have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to,' the New
York Democrat reasoned. 'The only way we're going to have a great future is if we welcome and embrace
immigrants... get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many there are here.'
Chuck
Schumer: If We Can't Have Babies, We Need Illegal Alien Workers. The Democrat left-wing policy platform
includes unlimited abortion, denunciation of the traditional family, declarations that excessive populations create
climate crisis and other less obvious points of advocacy that eliminate domestic population growth. However, in
order for left-wing politicians to continue advancing ridiculous ideological policy, they must pretend not to know
things. Here comes Senator Chuck Schumer. During a pantomime script to advance the goal of amnesty for
illegal aliens, Chuck Schumer pretends not to know his party agenda is to reduce the American workforce. Now
Senator Schumer claims the absence of a growing population is the reason why amnesty for illegal aliens must be
accomplished. [Video clip]
To put it another way... Sen.
Schumer calls for replacement of Americans who can't have babies after mRNA depopulation jabs. Yes, you
are being replaced. Once derided as a racist conspiracy theory, "replacement theory" is not only confirmed but
even touted by Democrat Sen. Chuck Schumer who yesterday claimed that millions of illegals must be granted amnesty
because the US population "is not reproducing on its own." Of course, that's because so-called "vaccine"
injections — actually mRNA depopulation bioweapons — are causing widespread abortions,
stillbirths, infertility and deaths. As expert analyst Ed Dowd told this reporter yesterday, post-vaccine excess
mortality across the population at large is running around 32%, meaning an extra 2,400+ Americans are dying each day
thanks to the mRNA jabs. And that's on top of the 7,700 or so that normally die each day, bringing the total daily
deaths in America right now beyond 10,000. After pushing the genocidal vaccine, Sen. Schumer's claim that "we
have a population that is not reproducing on its own" seems tone deaf. Does he not realize his own vaccine
mandates are killing off Americans? (Most likely, he knows full well.)
Testimony:
Biden Takes Air Marshals Off Flights, Deploys them to Conduct Welfare Checks on Illegal Aliens. President
Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is taking Federal Air Marshals off domestic commercial flights to have
them conduct welfare checks on border crossers and illegal aliens, Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ) said in congressional
testimony on Tuesday. In July, Breitbart News exclusively reported that Biden's DHS had deployed Air Marshals to
the southern border to escort border crossers and illegal aliens from processing facilities to Border Patrol custody
before their release into American communities.
The Editor says...
There's no good reason to tell everybody in the world that there are no more Air Marshals.
NYC
migrant crisis will cost city $600M every year, watchdog says. New York City's migrant crisis will cost
"at least" $596 million in public funds each year, according to a Monday report from the city's Independent Budget
Office. City Hall will rack up the costs thanks to offering shelter, healthcare, education and legal aid to
thousands of migrants who have been bussed to the city by Republican state governments in Florida and Texas, according
to the New York Post. The arrival of an additional 10,000 asylum seekers — assuming the current mix of
households remains consistent — would increase costs by around $246 million," IBO Acting Director George
Sweeting wrote in the report. "The total cost of providing the identified city services cannot be estimated with
certainty as the number of people arriving continues to evolve," he added.
Treason
without consequences — Joe Biden's open border policy. The Biden administration is getting away
with a massive outrage against our nation and its citizens. Illegal immigration, which poses an existential threat
to the U.S., is being enabled by our government and no one seems the least bit interested in putting an end to it.
Millions of unvetted migrants are streaming across the border and being shipped to secret destinations in direct
violation of U.S. immigration law. This is nothing short of treasonous. Mass illegal immigration, if
unchecked, will eventually lead to the destruction of the two-party system and the forced implementation of socialism by
the left wing of the Democratic Party. When millions of aliens are permitted to enter the U.S. illegally and
sanctuary cities and states can deliberately disregard federal statutes, the rule of law becomes a thing of the past and
we no longer have a country.
Texas governor says
300th busload of migrants heading to Chicago. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced on Thursday that the
300th busload of migrants is heading from the Lone Star State to Chicago. "The 300th Texas bus of migrants just left
for Chicago. As Biden does nothing, Texas will continue taking unprecedented action to relieve our overwhelmed
border communities & secure the border," Abbott tweeted. [Tweet]
Days
After Election, Joe Biden Extends 'Temporary' Amnesty to 305K Foreign Nationals in U.S.. President Joe
Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending temporary amnesty status to hundreds of thousands of foreign
nationals from a variety of countries living in the United States who would otherwise be eligible for deportation.
Just a few days after Tuesday's midterm elections, Biden's DHS filed an automatic extension in the federal register that
will allow more than 305,000 foreign nationals from El Salvador, Honduras, Haiti, Nepal, Nicaragua, and Sudan to remain
in the U.S. and hold American jobs. The bulk, about 194,000, are nationals from El Salvador.
It isn't a "failed presidency" if all this destruction is intentional. Biden
is gaslighting Americans about his failed presidency. [Scroll down] Above all, though, this
administration may be remembered for its duplicity — its continual, shameless "gaslighting" of the American
people. Biden, his team, and his sycophantic media supporters repeatedly tell us that "all is well" where it
manifestly is not. No matter how bad things become in the nation, no matter how many people suffer, reality has no
purchase on the ideological bubble of this White House. That is why, in these midterm elections, the American
people must deliver to Joe Biden an unequivocal message: that they refuse to be gaslit, that they are not buying what he
is selling. Biden and his staff spin not simply to be optimistic. They do so to cover up the often deadly
consequences of their policy decisions. This is certainly the case as regards Biden's open border. The
president's reversal of Trump-era border enforcement, and his effective encouragement of illegal border crossings, has
led to widespread human suffering. Migrants have been dying in record numbers as they make their journeys, often
under the control of coyotes and human smugglers. Americans are dying, too, as toxic fentanyl pours into the nation.
New York's
Legal System Plunged Into Chaos Thanks To Massive Influx Of Migrants. New York's legal system is plunging
into chaos over the huge influx of migrants coming to the state, according to The New York Times. The surge in
migrants coming to New York from the border are overwhelming the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office
in Manhattan, the Times reported Thursday. New York City, which already is one of the top states for immigration
backlogs, has received thousands of migrants bused by Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who is attempting to send
a message to sanctuary cities and the Biden administration about the surge in illegal migration border states are
struggling to support. Over 21,000 migrants have come to New York City, adding to the around 180,000 pending cases
sitting in the hands of just 88 judges in New York State immigration courts, according to the Times.
DHS
Scrambled After Townhall Report Exposed Mayorkas' Horrible Meeting With Border Patrol. Emails within the
Department of Homeland Security show the hurried response the agency was crafting after Townhall broke the story of
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas having a disastrous meeting with Border Patrol agents in the Yuma Sector in January of this
year. The emails, obtained by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project and first reported by Fox News, shows an
email chain with DHS officials describing how poorly the meeting in Yuma went. "Morning muster in Yuma was ROUGH,"
Marsha Espinosa, assistant secretary of DHS public affairs, says in the Jan. 26 email. "One agent in the front town had
his back turned to [Mayorkas] the entire time only to ask a question and then turned back. "Agent sentiment (the
ones that spoke up) is that policies aren't working, don't like masks or vaxx mandate. [Ortiz] stepped up to provide
support and asked to intro [Mayorkas] next time to better set up," Espinosa added.
America
Is On The Cusp Of A Fundamental Transformation. [Scroll down] And this is where Joe Biden is
fulfilling Barack Obama's goal. He invited essentially anyone willing to make the trip to come to the United
States by telling them that they would not be detained and they would be able to get healthcare. Not surprisingly,
millions of people from impoverished nations crossed the border into Club Biden. Since Biden became president it's
estimated that more than 5.5 million illegal immigrants have crossed the southern border. And that doesn't
include the hundreds of thousands or millions who crossed and were never seen by the Border Patrol in the first
place. There is something called "replacement theory" which Democrats label as a conspiracy theory amongst racist
whites. It's not that. As Tucker Carlson demonstrates in a piece from earlier this year, replacement theory
isn't a right-wing conspiracy theory at all but is, instead, a plan Democrats have spoken about for years. As they
will tell you, the goal is to outnumber the mostly White, American-born population with people who look and think
differently. [...] At this rate, by the end of Joe Biden's first term, as many as 15 million new illegal aliens
could be here, all of whom need healthcare, schooling, food, shelter, and clothing, provided free of charge by American
taxpayers already struggling to put food on the table and fuel in their cars, and keep a roof over their heads.
That is a fundamental transformation. Once those 15 million people get to vote, Republicans will never win another
election and America will become San Francisco. But "they're not citizens," you say, and they can't vote.
Given the current state of affairs and the Democrats' fading allure among actual Americans, how long do you think before
that changes?
CIS
Estimates that 5.55 million Green Card Holders Have Expired Cards. A Center for Immigration Studies'
examination of current USCIS datasets suggests that, of the nearly 13 million green card holders in the U.S.,
5.5 million have expired green cards, and neither they nor the government seem to be worried about it. (It's
important to note that an alien's permanent resident status doesn't lapse if the card expires.) According to the
most recent USCIS estimates, as of January of this year there were an estimated 12.88 million green card holders in
the nation, 970,000 of them having arrived before 1980. Since the vast majority of green cards are valid for
10 years, we might assume, given a fairly steady volume of legal immigration, that every year 1,288,000 of them
would expire and would need replacement. This is a conservative estimate because under some circumstances a card
would need to be replaced more than once every 10 years — some aliens change their names or report lost
or stolen cards, while still others, for technical reasons, need new cards.
Illegal entry
at the border is a lot like turnstile jumping. To enter the United States legally, a foreign national must
either obtain a visa at a U.S. consulate abroad or be exempted from that visa requirement. The visa process can be
complex. An applicant must apply and provide a passport, and if it's an immigrant visa, have received an approved
visa petition. Immigrant visa holders also need a medical exam and often a certificate from the local police
showing no criminal history. Once the applicant has the visa, he or she must then come to the United States and go
through the CBP inspections process at the port of entry. Those two checks — one at the consulate and
one at the port — are akin to the turnstiles in the WMATA metro system. Illegal entrants avoid the
consular process entirely, and any medical or criminal-background check to which they are subject once apprehended is
perfunctory. Nearly 690,000 of them were apprehended and released by Border Patrol in FY 2022 alone, putting
the efforts of even the most strident turnstile jumpers in the NYC or D.C. transit systems to shame.
Half a
Million Aliens [have been] Released into the U.S. on 'Alternatives to Detention'. U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) has enrolled nearly 500,000 aliens in its Alternatives to Detention ("ATD") program between
August 2020 and June 2022, according to data obtained by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at
Syracuse University. ICE uses ATD to release aliens subject to mandatory immigration detention and monitor their
location, primarily with mobile device apps or ankle bracelets that enable GPS monitoring. Notably, the data TRAC
obtained shows that, since 2021, ICE has drastically shortened the amount of time it monitors aliens enrolled in ATD and
has ceased to monitor (or has "unenrolled") nearly 200,000 aliens who are subject to mandatory detention under federal
law. Federal law requires ICE to detain certain aliens, including most recent border crossers and certain criminal
aliens, pending the completion of their removal proceedings. Congress mandated detention to guarantee that these
aliens will appear for their removal hearings and for actual removal from the United States. The original goal of
ATD, which has been used by the government to various degrees since at least 1997, was to ensure aliens enrolled in the
program show up to their immigration hearings without imposing the costs of detention onto the government (i.e.,
taxpayers). In the context of border apprehensions, ICE has increased its use of ATD to circumvent the Immigration
and Nationality Act's detention requirements and allow inadmissible aliens to live and work (not always legally) in the
United States.
House
Republicans Demand CBP Commissioner Resign. A group of House Republicans, led by Georgia Rep. Jody
Hice, sent a letter to President Joe Biden on Tuesday requesting that he call for the resignation of Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) Commissioner Chris Magnus. In the letter, first obtained by the Daily Caller, the Hice and 15 GOP
lawmakers mention a report from Politico in which five current Biden administration officials who work with Magnus told
the outlet that he is unengaged in his job. The sources also told Politico that Magnus does not attend White House
meetings about the border crisis, talks disparagingly about other agencies to other CBP officials and has not built
relationships with CBP or other agencies. The lawmakers said that, in light of the report, Magnus should be forced
to resign and that the next CBP commissioner must be willing to focus on the border crisis.
Migrants
kicked out of US are erecting huge tent city on Mexican border in hopes of re-entering. Migrants kicked
out of the US are amassing on the Mexican side of the border, erecting a tent city while waiting for another chance to
enter the US. "We're all waiting for an opportunity to cross," Gilfred Jimenez, a Venezuelan who has not yet
attempted to enter the US but intends to, told the El Paso Times. Jimenez is living in a tent city that has
sprung up in Juarez, the Mexican city directly across the border from El Paso, Texas. The encampment is made up of
both Venezuelans rejected at the border and Venezuelans who were on their way to the US but had not reached the border
before President Joe Biden made a major announcement Oct. 13. The Biden Administration said it would begin
expelling Venezuelans, even those seeking asylum, from the US if they entered the country illegally at the Southern
border. A record number of Venezuelans — 189,000 crossed the southern border of the US — as
people fled the dictatorship and economic uncertainty.
The Editor says...
Every country has "economic uncertainty," especially the United States, thanks to the reckless tax-and-spend socialist
Democrats and their senile puppet, Joe Biden. The immigrants are coming here because we have food stamps and
an excessively high minimum wage.
House
Judiciary Republicans demand Biden admin preserve docs related to border crisis, as probes loom.
Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are demanding that the Biden administration preserve documents related to
the ongoing crisis at the southern border — as Republicans lay the groundwork for investigations and hearings
on the matter in the next Congress. Reps. Jim Jordan, the ranking member, and Tom McClintock, the ranking
member of the immigration subcommittee, wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Attorney General
Merrick Garland demanding the agencies preserve documents and materials related to border security.
Biden's
Border Crisis Is Much Worse Than You Think. In a clumsy effort to hide the latest and altogether shocking
data on illegal border crossings, the Department of Homeland Security released its latest report in the dead of night
last Friday. Not that it mattered, since the mainstream press wouldn't have covered it no matter what. But
in this case, the numbers are shocking. The reality is even more shocking. DHS's Customs and Border
Protection agency finally, after basically being forced into it, reported that it had "encountered" almost
2.8 million illegal border crossers in the past fiscal year (which ended Sept. 30). That's up from
1.9 million last fiscal year And it's more than four times the number in President Trump's last year in office.
WashPost:
Legalize More Migrants to Take American Jobs in Florida. Millions of Americans have fallen out of the
workforce, yet President Joe Biden's pro-migration deputies are allowing many illegal migrants to get disaster recovery
jobs in Florida. [...] The government's decision to tolerate illegal workers is also a rejection of "a great opportunity
to draw the millions of [non-working] men back to work," said Steven Camarota, the research director for the Center for
Immigration Studies. [...] Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has denounced the hiring of illegal migrants in Florida.
In 2020, amid strong resistance from a business-dominated state legislature, he pushed through a useful bill that
pressures employers to verify the legal status of some potential hires.
Biden's
border disaster: Americans deserve solutions, not excuses. Unlike the debate around the origins of
COVID-19, the origins of the border crisis are unmistakably clear to reasonable Americans. Communities across this
country are overwhelmed from the human trafficking and fentanyl crisis because of the reckless policies of the Biden
administration. This isn't difficult or complicated. When you tear down proven and effective border
policies, fail to hold individuals accountable for breaking the law, and direct law enforcement officers to selectively
enforce the law, the result is what we are witnessing today.
Tens
of thousands of migrants have cases thrown out of immigration court, as docs not filed. Tens of thousands
of illegal immigrants had their cases thrown out by immigration judges after documents were not filed in time by
Department of Homeland Security officials, according to newly released data. Data obtained and analyzed by the
Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University, found that 63,586 cases were dismissed in FY
2022 as of the end of September because officials, mainly Border Patrol agents, are not filing the Notice to Appear
(NTA) in time. Migrants who are apprehended by Border Patrol after entering the U.S. illegally in many cases are
released into the U.S. with an NTA, which gives them a court date and address to appear for their immigration
hearings. NTAs are typically submitted to the immigration court by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) using
data from Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
[The]
Border Patrol [is] sending migrants to [the] wrong offices with no paperwork. We have long been aware of
the flood of humanity arriving at the nation's southern border for the past two years and the expectations that many of
these migrants bring with them. (The "Biden, Let Us In" shirts are still showing up regularly.) Hundreds of thousands of
these border jumpers escape without any form of processing and are classified as "gotaways" by the Border Patrol.
Among those who are interviewed, most wind up being sent on buses and planes to other parts of country, much to the
consternation of the liberals who had proudly declared their enclaves to be "sanctuary cities" until some actual people
in need of sanctuary began showing up. But even among those who went through the full round of "processing" upon
their arrival, problems have been developing.
Joe
Biden Welcomes Foreign Population at Southern Border Greater than 15 States. President Joe Biden's
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) welcomed a foreign population at the United States-Mexico border in fiscal year
2022 that exceeds the populations of 15 states. As Breitbart News reported, Biden's DHS has overseen the largest
inflow of illegal immigration in a single fiscal year with more than 2.2 million border crossers and illegal aliens
having arrived at the southern border from October 1, 2021, to September 20, 2022. "We have simply never seen
these numbers before in our history, and the Biden open-borders policies are the reason," former Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) Chief Mark Morgan, a visiting fellow at the Heritage Foundation, said in a statement.
Democrat
Texas mayor accused of lying about pressure from WH on handling migrant crisis. El Paso City Council
member Claudia Rodriguez called out the city's Democratic mayor Wednesday night, saying he has been caught in a
lie. Earlier on Fox News Wednesday, El Paso Mayor Oscar Leeser denied Rodriguez's allegation that he was pressured
by the White House to avoid declaring the migrant influx an emergency in the city, insisting he made the decision
himself. "Absolutely not," Leeser told host Dana Perino. "One of the things we need to learn and really make sure
we do is that we take the politics out of this."
The Editor says...
Any time a Democrat insists that we "put our differences aside" or
"take politics out of this discussion," it is an attempt to silence any dissenting opinions. Tolerating,
facilitating, and encouraging illegal immigration is done for political purposes.
NYC
makes it clear where Blacks rank in the intersectional hierarchy. Now that New York City is becoming a
border state, thanks to incoming shipments of illegal aliens from the geographic border states, the city's mayor,
Eric Adams, has gotten his act together and put out the welcome mat for people who have no right to be here in the first
place. The city's existing homeless, with special emphasis on homeless Blacks, have noticed that there's a gaping
chasm between the quality of existing homeless shelters and the ones for the newbies — and the native New
Yorkers are getting the short end of the stick. [...] This story out of New York City, however, tells us what the real
"replacement" is: American Blacks are being replaced as the Democrats' new favorite minority — illegal
aliens. Just look at the difference in treatment accorded the city's existing homeless, a disproportionate
majority of whom are Black (Blacks account for more than 57% percent of the homeless, even as they make up only 20% of
the city's population): [Video clip]
Former
border officials vow to release illegal migrant numbers by Tuesday if Biden admin won't. Several former
border officials vowed to release the number of illegal migrant crossings into the U.S. by Tuesday if the Biden
administration hasn't by then. Former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli,
acting Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan and acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) Tom Homan accused the Biden administration of hiding the number of illegal southwestern border
crossings in September. The Trump-era officials pointed out that DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and CBP
Commissioner Chris Magnus are required to release the numbers weekly and that if the numbers are not published by
Tuesday, the former officials will do it themselves.
Criminal
Cartels Have More Control of Our Border Than Biden Does. You know your own government is against the
people when it no longer even pretends it intends to protect the citizenry. And our government, from Joe Biden and
Kamala Harris to Alejandro Mayorkas, Merrick Garland, and Christopher Wray, has undertaken policies that harm
Americans. The Mexican criminal cartels effectively control the border. North of the border, the humans and
drugs they smuggle into the United States are wreaking havoc on our country. South of the border, the cartels know
that with Biden-Harris-Mayorkas in charge there are fat profits to be made from the illicit activity, so the cartels are
now fighting a war to maintain control. It is obvious that the cartels care more about the U.S.-Mexico border than
the Biden regime does.
Biden
Pressured Democrat Border Mayor Not to Declare Emergency over Illegal Immigration. President Joe Biden's
administration reportedly pressured El Paso, Texas, Mayor Oscar Leeser (D) not to declare a state of emergency over
illegal immigration, even as thousands arrive in the small city every few days. According to an exclusive report
from the New York Post, El Paso officials privately and publicly say the Biden administration urged Leeser to hold off
on calling a state of emergency over the issue of illegal immigration, which has hit historic levels this year.
Eight
things that killed the Democrat Party. [#7] Illegal Immigration: From day one, the borders were flung open
by the Democrat Party to drug traffickers, murderers, and myriad other miscreants in the hope they would be new Democrat
votes. As a result, crime is rampant, blue cities under Democrat rule are suffering and homelessness is on the
rise, all the while Biden spokespeople are claiming the "border is closed." Squealing like stuck pigs, places like New
York City which have reluctantly become home to Texas' illegals, have seen a marked inability to safely house the very
illegals they claim to have wanted to live in their "sanctuary city."
Biden's bogus
border crackdown [is] backfiring. President Biden clearly knows his disastrous border policies will hurt
Democrats in the midterms, so he's suddenly gestured at doing something — and even that's backfiring.
Last week, his folks announced a deal to halt the flood of Venezuelan migrants at the border by expelling them to
Mexico. They also offered a path for 24,000 Venezuelans to enter legally, after finding a US sponsor. (Who needs
congressional approval?) "There is a lawful and orderly way for Venezuelans to enter the United States, and lawful
entry is the only way," Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas huffed. "Those who attempt to cross the
southern border ... illegally will be returned to Mexico and will be ineligible for this process in the future."
Sounds tough — but Mayorkas (like Biden) has never told the truth about the border, falsely insisting
it's been "secure" even as nearly 4 million have crossed illegally since Biden took office.
White
House Pressured El Paso Mayor Not to Declare State of Emergency over Illegal Immigration. President Biden
pressured Democratic El Paso mayor Oscar Leeser to avoid declaring a state of emergency over the influx of illegal
immigrants arriving daily, despite several members of the local city council urging otherwise, the New York Post
reports. One councilwoman, Claudia Rodriguez, told the Post that Leeser "told me the White House asked him
not to" declare a state of emergency for fear it would make Biden look bad. These sentiments were echoed by fellow
Representative Veronica Escobar (D., Texas) during a September 27 council meeting.
Biden
Admin Housed Record Number Of Unaccompanied Illegal Migrant Children. U.S. shelters housed a record number
of unaccompanied illegal migrant children under the Biden administration in 2022, according to CBS News. Federal
shelters housed nearly 130,000 unaccompanied illegal migrant children as border authorities saw record numbers of these
migrants crossing into the U.S. illegally, CBS News reported, citing internal federal data. In fiscal year 2021,
there were 122,000 unaccompanied minors in federal shelters, leading to overcrowded conditions[.] "Absent policy
changes, we're likely to see a large number of unaccompanied minors for the foreseeable future," Andrew Selee, president
of the Migration Policy Institute, told CBS News. "Given the conditions in Central America, it makes sense for young
people to try and make it to the U.S. to help their families or for families that are already here to bring their children."
Biden
Regime Calls for North American Union. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, also
known by his initials AMLO, recently announced that US Secretary of State Tony Blinken proposed opening all borders
between the US, Mexico, and Canada. President Obrador: "I think that Mr. Blinken spoke about consolidating
the region of North America. And we agree on that." The plan would open up our borders permanently to the
drug cartels running Mexico today. It is the latest insanity proposed by the Biden regime to permanently destroy
the United States.
ACLU,
legal groups suing Biden admin for denying legal representation to detained migrants. The American Civil
Liberties Union (ACLU) and other legal groups filed a lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on
Thursday, alleging that migrants detained in four detention facilities in Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Arizona have
been denied legal representation. In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs allege that attorneys face "numerous obstacles"
in attempting to communicate with detained migrants. These obstacles, the lawsuit says, make representation
"extremely difficult and, sometimes, impossible." The lawsuit alleges that attorneys have had difficulty scheduling
legal calls and having meetings with their clients in confidential settings.
Immigration
activists dismayed at Biden move to expand Title 42 to Venezuelan illegal migrants. Immigration activist
groups are expressing their concern with the Biden administration's announcement that it will start expelling
Venezuelans to Mexico using the Title 42 public health order — reducing entry pathways to a limited parole
program. The Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday that it is launching a new large-scale border
enforcement operation with Mexico that includes increased checkpoints, a surge in resources and a crackdown on human
smuggling. The administration also announced that all Venezuelans entering the U.S. illegally would now be
returned to Mexico under the Title 42 public health order — which was implemented during the Trump
administration due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The order allows for the rapid expulsion of migrants and is one that
the Biden administration has been seeking to end, but has been stopped by a legal challenge.
Biden
to Import 65K Foreign Workers for Blue-Collar Jobs as 11.6 Million Americans Are Jobless. President Joe
Biden is set to import nearly 65,000 H-2B foreign visa workers to take blue-collar American jobs as roughly 11.6 million
Americans remain jobless. This week, Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Labor Department announced
that the administration would be allowing businesses to import a few less than 65,000 H-2B foreign visa workers to take
nonagricultural jobs in construction, meatpacking, and landscaping, among other industries.
As
migrant surge sweeps NYC, here's where they're being housed. Queens is taking the largest share of
migrants into emergency shelters set up by the city — fueling what the borough's president on Thursday called
a "powder keg" of crises and creating a "recipe for a social and economic disaster." Queens was housing 4,782
migrants, or 32% of the total 14,777 placed in emergency shelters as of Wednesday, according to data compiled by the
Department of Homeless Services and obtained by The Post on Thursday. That share is more than one-sixth greater
than the 27.3% that Queens residents contribute to the city's total population, according to 2020 census data. "It's
a powder keg in Queens at this point," said Queens Borough President Donovan Richards.
Calls
to Impeach Secretary Mayorkas Pile Up. As Julio covered on Wednesday, email documents revealed by Fox
News's Bill Melugin show that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas knew that the slandered Border Patrol
agents did not actually whip illegal immigrants. Mayorkas still failed to defend them, though. Calls to
impeach the secretary, with impeachment articles having been first filed by Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) in August of
last year, have ramped up. Biggs continued his calls over Twitter on Wednesday. [Tweets] Rep. Chip
Roy (R-TX) has also called for impeaching Mayorkas and circulated a letter and memo in March that made a formal request for
fellow Republicans to join him.
A
Venezuelan Man of Mystery Helps Tell Story of America's Open Border. Meet Luis Antunez, your new neighbor
from (probably) Venezuela. He's a 40-year-old trader from Tucupita. Or a policeman from Puerto Carreno, or a
criminal from Caracas. We may never know for sure. I found Antunez's ID card the week before last on the
banks of the Rio Grande here in Eagle Pass while visiting border communities with Daily Signal reporter Virginia Allen
and our guide, Frank Lopez Jr. Antunez apparently chucked the identification after wading across the river into
the U.S. as one of over 200,000 illegal immigrants who entered our country in September.
Adams
using luxe $400-a-night Times Square hotel rooms as migrant shelter. A swank midtown Manhattan hotel will
be home to hundreds of migrant families, Mayor Eric Adams said Wednesday, announcing that the Row NYC is being turned
into the latest "humanitarian relief center" to grapple with an influx of asylum seekers in the city. The
four-star Row NYC hotel — located in pricey Times Square and formerly the iconic Milford Plaza —
will initially house 200 migrant families and will have the ability to take on even more in the coming weeks, Adams
said. The $400-a-night hotel — once billed as being "in the center of it all" — has more
than 1,000 rooms and is located in the same district as PS 33, the public school in Chelsea that parents told The
[New York] Post is already overburdened by the sudden influx of migrant students who can't speak English. The city's
latest bid to cope with the spiraling crisis that has seen 18,600 migrants flood the city since May, means the school, which
currently has just one certified bilingual teacher, could potentially end up with even more asylum-seeking kids as the
hotel fills up.
Treasury
Department to Audit DeSantis Migrant-Flight Expenditures. The Treasury Department is auditing the migrant
flights authorized by Governor Ron DeSantis to assess whether the expenditures were appropriate. In response to a
petition from Democratic lawmakers, the department's inspector general wrote in an October 7 letter that the agency
would investigate whether Florida misused federal funds to relocate illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard. The
DeSantis administration has maintained that the trips were approved on a bipartisan basis by the state legislature in a
budget package many months ago. Richard K. Delmar, deputy inspector general for the department, told Senator Ed
Markey and five other Democrats that he intended "to get this work underway as soon as possible" to see whether
Republican-controlled states, such as Florida, exploited money they received under American Rescue Plan to ship out migrants.
The Editor says...
In the State of Florida, who decides if "expenditures [are] appropriate?" The Governor, of course.
Liberal
Enclaves Panic Over Possibility of Migrants Arriving on their Doorstep. More liberal enclaves are
seemingly panicking over the possibility busloads and flights filled with border crossers and illegal aliens will be
sent their way. For months, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) have been busing
thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens to sanctuary cities like New York City, New York; Washington, D.C.; and
Chicago, Illinois. Likewise, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) flew about 50 illegal aliens to Martha's Vineyard
in Massachusetts, where former President Obama owns a 29-acre summer estate and which voted more than 80 percent for
President Joe Biden. The new arrivals were bused off the elite coastal island within 48 hours and sent to Joint
Base Cape Cod after officials declared a "humanitarian crisis." Some of the illegal aliens, backed by a George
Soros-funded group, are now suing DeSantis.
NYC
schools struggle to cope with influx of 5,500 migrant kids. A Manhattan public school with just one
certified bilingual teacher is reeling under the weight of a sudden influx of migrant students who don't speak any
English, The Post has learned. "We're overwhelmed," one frustrated teacher at PS 33 Chelsea Prep said Tuesday.
"We've all got migrant students in our classrooms. The teachers don't speak Spanish. There's no resources
helping us out right now — it's a very challenging situation." One outraged mom said migrant
kids — easily identified by lime green ID tags that hang from their necks — have swelled the size
of her daughter's class from 15 to 20 kids.
Biden
Admin Quietly Begins To Treat [the] Border Crisis Like [an] Invasion. The Washington Examiner,
citing reports from the Center Square, has a piece up today detailing that 20 states — including some
very blue states like Oregon — have deployed military troops to the Southern border since Joe Biden took
office. [...] Despite the progressive-friendly media's attempts to cancel use of the word "invasion" when covering the
border crisis, the policy response from DoD looks an awful lot like they think it might be time to treat "the surge"
(one of the preferred media euphemisms) as one. This is especially true when considering the use of air cover from
reliably blue states.
Blue
Oregon among 20 states deploying military to southern border amid crisis. More than 20 states have begun
deploying military troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to assist federal agents responding to the border crisis since
President Joe Biden took office. National Guard soldiers will be deployed on 400-day deployments, bringing them
back home before Thanksgiving 2023. The deployments were at the request of the federal government, though the Biden
administration has made no public announcement about soliciting military help from states. The Defense Department
requested 2,500 National Guard members from states earlier this summer to help federal law enforcement with detecting
human and drug smuggling operations. Both Democratic- and Republican-governed states have signed on to the border
security mission.
Migrants
bused to NYC hotel going door-to-door asking for help. Migrants bused from the border to New York City
have been walking around a Staten Island neighborhood knocking on doors and asking for food, clothes and work after they
were put up in hotels there. The migrants — many of whom were not ready for the colder temperatures of
the Big Apple — are staying at a property in Travis-Chelsea that includes the Staten Island Inn, Holiday Inn,
and Fairfield Inn and Suites Marriott, sources and workers told The Post over the weekend. The Staten Island Inn
is already completely booked with the illegal immigrants-turned-asylum-seekers, and more buses are expected in the next
day or so, a Holiday Inn employee said.
New
York City Wants $1 Billion to Help Exploit Biden's Migrants. New York City's Mayor Eric Adams wants $1 billion
from other Americans to subsidize the city's economic strategy of importing penniless immigrants for use by New York's
business leaders. [...] The demand was $500 million two weeks ago, as officials counted the cost of housing migrants who
are being drawn to the free overnight shelters attracted to the jobs and schooling in the so-called "sanctuary city."
WashPost
Op-Ed Says Migrants Should Replace Americans. Migrants should be imported to fill millions of empty jobs,
even though about seven million working-age American men have dropped out of the workforce, says a right-of-center
columnist at the Washington Post. "We need immigrants to help fill these jobs," Marc Thiessen wrote on
December 4, after dismissing the millions of American men who have been sidelined during the last 20 years.
Thiessen's discard Americans proposal is "morally abhorrent" but is also commonplace among the GOP establishment,
responded Mark Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies.
Eric
Adams blasts illegal migrant influx into New York City as 'not sustainable'. While attention is focused on
inflation and whether Vladimir Putin would use nuclear weapons on us, the ongoing crisis of open borders continues, with
Joe Biden & Co. leaving the gate open. According to New York's mayor, Eric Adams, the situation is not an outrage
or violation of U.S. principles of rule of law, but, to use a favorite leftist phrase, "not sustainable." [...] We've
already heard about him carping about migrants entering his city, whether bussed in by border-state governors and
mayors, by Joe Biden with his secret flights into various places at nighttime, or on their own. Somehow, it's only
a problem when the migrants hit his city, never mind what the border states are experiencing. New York City has
taken in, at last count, a few thousant extra unvetted illegal immigrants, nothing like the million-plus illegal
migrants that border states have been forced to "welcome" whether they wanted to, or not.
NYC
Mayor Adams declares state of emergency after 17,000 migrants spark shelter 'crisis'. New York City Mayor
Eric Adams declared a state of emergency Friday in response to the continued arrival of illegal migrants from southern
states. More than 17,000 migrants have been bused to the city since the spring, a small fraction of the migrant
encounters at the border over that timeframe. Fox News cameras at the Port Authority transportation terminal
filmed eight buses arriving Friday, after nine arrived Thursday. Adams said that one in five people in the city's
shelter system is a migrant, which is creating the "crisis."
Biden
Admin Issues Over 300,000 Smartphones With Tracking Devices To Illegal Immigrants. More than 300,000
smartphones used to monitor illegal immigrants were given to noncitizens by the Biden administration last month,
according to data collected by Syracuse University's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. Issuing such
cellular devices to illegal immigrants is part of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement program called the Alternatives
to Detention, which essentially gives the individuals access to U.S. soil before their court dates. The
smartphones, which cost taxpayers $361,218.08 per day, use facial recognition, GPS monitoring, and voice identification,
according to ICE. Jon Feere, former DHS senior adviser and director of investigations at the Center for Immigration
Studies, told the Free Beacon last month that the ATD program has already proven to be a "costly failure," noting that
thousands of illegal immigrants have disappeared annually.

For
All Intents and Purposes, America Now Has No Southern Border. [Scroll down] This scenario is played
out over and over in towns along the southern border, as I learned during my recent trip to Del Rio, Eagle Pass, Kinney
County, and San Antonio, Texas. Migrants seeking asylum cross the border, the Border Patrol picks them up.
Agents take the migrants to a processing center where some basic information is taken down. Then they are put on a
bus or an airplane to a city somewhere else in America. Illegal aliens are told to report to a local field office
of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, within 60 days. Some report back, but many do not for fear of
deportation. After spending three days on the southern border talking with local leaders, citizens, and illegal
aliens themselves, I was surprised by how much of a well-oiled machine illegal immigration has become.
Two
dozen states [are] sending National Guard troops to U.S.-Mexico border. "The border is secure" says Vice
President Kamala Harris; yet almost two dozen states are sending up to 2,500 National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico
border. The assistance is aimed at helping federal immigration officials handle the border crisis. "Groups
that support tougher immigration restrictions say the deployment of the National Guard troops will help overburdened
federal agencies deal with the surge of illegal immigration", reports the Center Square. The deployments were
requested by the U.S. Department of Defense and Republican-led states like Kentucky, South Carolina and Arkansas, as
well as Democratic-led states such as Rhode Island and Illinois will all be sending assistance. Other states
sending troops include Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and the U.S.
territory of Puerto Rico, DOD officials said.
Washington,
DC, Democrats Approve Plan Allowing Illegal Aliens to Vote. Democrats on the Washington, DC, City Council
have approved a plan that would allow foreign nationals, including illegal aliens, to vote in local elections. On
Tuesday, the D.C. City Council voted 12-1 to advance a bill that will allow foreign nationals, regardless of if they have
visas or are illegally in the United States, to vote in local elections such as school board races and mayoral elections.
Inside
a Texas County That Declared Border Crisis an 'Invasion'. It was 5:15 p.m. on a Monday afternoon and the
13th hour of Sheriff Brad Coe's workday. "Phone call came at 4 a.m. this morning," said Coe, the sheriff of Kinney
County, which borders Mexico. A human smuggler had been caught trying to sneak illegal immigrants across the
border into the U.S. The sheriff counted aloud, recalling the five suspected human smugglers who were caught before
8 a.m. that day, Sept. 26. Between January and June of this year, officials caught a total of 292 suspected human
smugglers in Kinney County, which has a population of about 3,600. Last year, law enforcement in Kinney County caught
169 smuggling suspects. In the first six months of 2022, "we have arrested 1,659 illegal aliens," said Coe, a
Republican who took office in 2017.
Migrants:
A Billion More Are Waiting in the Wings. According to the National Center for Health, the US currently has
a population of about 335 million, with a birth rate that has been consistently below replacement level since 2007. Do
the demographic data indicate that, by 2050, the US will have more than one billion new residents, with a ratio of one
English-speaking American citizen to three or four new non-English-speaking asylum-seekers? If so, to whose
advantage is such a dramatic and disturbing change? The pro-abortion movement apparently believes the world is now
over-populated. Why, then, are they working hard to encourage floods of mostly unskilled migrants to America and
Europe? The US has already reached the goal of population stability. Some European countries now have birth
rates that are far below replacement level. What is to be gained by jacking up the population numbers in countries
where New World Order demographics are already the order of the day?
Democrats:
Importing racism, sexism, and terrorism. Since Biden came into office, there have been 4.5 million
encounters at the southern border. The number of crossers remaining in the United States legally and illegally is
a well-guarded secret. Perhaps it's because Mayorkas and Biden are leveraging the use of temporary parole,
refugee, and temporary protection (TPS) statuses to import "legally" an unlimited number of immigrants with minimal
qualifications and background checks. People from 13 countries can come to the border and qualify for TPS.
This includes people from El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Haiti, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.
Many TPS immigrants have lived here for over 10 years. In 2021, more "temporary" immigrants became citizens than
new arrivals. Unaccompanied minors (under 21) are immediately designated as refugees, but not counted as
refugees. Under Biden, over 260,000 unaccompanied minors have been processed, of which 82% were from Central
America. (Between 2014 and 2017, the total was 3,092.) A 2015 study showed that 12% of minors were sponsored by
criminals, including human traffickers. In 2021, 66% of the unaccompanied minors were males, and 72% were 15-17
years old. It's unknown how many will join gangs or work for cartels because post-release follow-up is optional.
El
Paso's 'hypocritical' Democrats are working with the White House to quietly bus thousands of migrants north using
federal money. The Democrat-led border city of El Paso, Texas, has been quietly working with the Biden
administration to spend millions of dollars of federal money busing thousands of migrants to northern sanctuary cities,
including New York and Chicago, DailyMail.com can reveal. While the Republican governors of Texas and Arizona —
Greg Abbott and Doug Ducey — have made headlines sending migrants to liberal northern cities to spotlight the
crisis on the southern frontier, El Paso is doing much the same, just without the fanfare. For some,
El Paso's migrant-busing policy showcases how Democrat-led administrations are downplaying the crisis on America's
border, speedily processing thousands of arrivals each day at a warehouse in the desert and packing them on to buses north.
Record
2.2 Million Migrants Apprehended by Border Patrol in FY22, 604K Got Away. Border Patrol agents apprehended
a record-setting 2.2 million migrants who illegally crossed the southwest border with Mexico, according to a source
within U.S. Customs and Border Protection. In addition, the unofficial year-end numbers show an estimate of nearly
604,000 migrant got-aways. As the record-setting Fiscal Year 2022 came to a close at midnight, a source within
U.S. Customs and Border Protection told Breitbart Texas that agents working the nine southwest border sectors
apprehended more than 2.2 million migrants. This represents an increase of nearly 27 percent over last year's
record of 1.7 million migrant apprehensions.
This
Is Not about the Migrants. Let no one be under any illusions. This is not about the 50 migrants
Governor DeSantis flew to Martha's Vineyard. They could care less about helping the migrants than citizens of the
Vineyard did. This is about Democrats pulling out all the stops to hamstring Governor DeSantis, who they tacitly
know could well be the Republican (and very popular) presidential nominee for 2024. It is he whom Democrats seek to
attack and, most of all, must work to diminish.
This will make it easier to ship them all to Florida en masse. Mayor
Adams close to deal for Norwegian Cruise ship to house migrants in NYC waters. Mayor Eric Adams is
finalizing a deal with the Norwegian Cruise Line to house migrants on one of its massive cruise ships and dock it at
Staten Island's Homeport, The [New York] Post has learned. Adams wants to lease the luxury liner for at least six
months and use it to house and process migrants before they enter the city's shelter system, a source familiar with the
matter said. The migrants would be allowed to come and go while staying on the ship, the source said.
Preliminary estimates show the plan will be "cheaper" than erecting another tent city similar to the one the city plans
to open in the Bronx at the Orchard Beach parking lot, the source said. The tent city, now under construction, is
expected to cost $15 million a month to operate, The Post exclusively reported last week.
Here are just a few of the
terrible, radical, tyrannical policies Swamp Dems are trying to fund with your money. [Thread reader]
Dems' continuing resolution contains NOTHING to secure our border from cartels, illegal migrants, and lethal fentanyl
flooding in - and would EMPOWER the Biden admin to make the border crisis WORSE: $57.5 billion for [DHS] that, under
the leadership of [Sec. Mayorkas], has:
• Given violent cartels operational control of our border
• Allowed fentanyl to pour into communities
• Undermined our national sovereignty
• Attacked their own employees for doing their jobs
$8.2 billion for [ICE], which:
• Reported a 70% REDUCTION in removals last year
• REFUSES to remove the illegally present individuals the administration does not deem a "threat"
• Abuses parole authority to release illegal migrants
• $4.8 billion to @HHSGov's Office of Refugee Resettlement that has LOST migrant children after releasing them

Opposing
open borders isn't racist. With the midterms on the horizon and President Joe Biden's dismal approval
numbers causing alarm within the Democratic Party, former President Barack Obama is playing the race card trying to
shift the narrative from Biden's failed leadership to falsely insinuating that Republicans are "racists" for opposing
mass illegal immigration. On Sunday at the L'Attitude conference, an event for Latino business professionals in
San Diego, Obama said, "Right now, the biggest fuel behind the Republican agenda is related to immigration and the fear
that somehow America's character is going to be changed if, people of darker shades, there are too many of them here,"
according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. Huh? Has Obama forgotten that when he and his former Vice
President Joe Biden occupied the White House, their administration deported millions of illegal immigrants, earning him
the moniker "deporter-in-chief"?
Report:
Soros-Linked Group Wins $41M Contract from Biden to Help Illegal Aliens Evade Deportation. A
non-governmental organization (NGO), with financial links to billionaire George Soros, has won a $41 million federal
contract from President Joe Biden's Department of Justice (DOJ) to help illegal aliens evade deportation from the United
States. The Acacia Center for Justice, an NGO with financial ties to the Soros-linked Vera Institute of Justice,
scored a contract from Biden's DOJ to provide "legal services" to border crossers and illegal aliens after they are
released into the U.S. interior in the hopes of staying permanently.
CBP
Document Details Mass Release of Illegal Aliens under Biden. While you must dig to find it, CBP discloses
the number of illegal migrants it has apprehended and released at the Southwest border in FY 2022 on a webpage captioned
"Custody and Transfer Statistics". Well, partially discloses, at least, because while that page reveals that more
than 553,000 aliens apprehended by Border Patrol agents have been released this fiscal year, it doesn't include port
encounters or unaccompanied alien children. That page also indicates that hundreds of thousands of other illegal
migrants were transferred to ICE for detention — and that agency doesn't hold most such "immigration
violators" for long. All told, about 2.2 million aliens have exploited Biden's border policies — thus
far. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), DHS is required to detain every illegal entrant, as well as
all other inadmissible aliens stopped at entry and deemed inadmissible.
$20
billion payday: Biden's border surge sends smuggling prices soaring. The migrant smuggling economy at the
U.S.-Mexico border now tops $20 billion and the cartels have made at least $2.6 billion in profit over the past
12 months just from controlling the routes illegal immigrants use, according to a Washington Times analysis. Both
amounts are up substantially from the Trump and Obama years because more people are coming to the border and because
they are paying higher prices. Mexican migrants are paying an average of $8,600 in total smuggling fees this year,
according to The Washington Times' database of smuggling cases. That's up roughly $2,000 from 2019, the last
pre-pandemic year under the Trump administration. Migrants from El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala are paying
about $11,500 for the trip, up from $9,000 in 2020 and $7,900 in 2019, The Times' data shows.
NBC's
Chuck Todd Laughably Insists More Illegal Aliens Will Solve Inflation. [Scroll down] Abbott and
DeSantis have two primary goals, both of which have worked, masterfully. First, to demonstrate to Democrat city
leaders the serious problem created as the influx of illegals continues to decimate border towns. Second, and most
brilliantly, to illustrate the left's complete hypocrisy when illegals show up on their doorstep. Such was
the case when residents of the upscale liberal enclave of Martha's Vineyard became apoplectic when just 50 illegals
showed up on their island, prompting them to ship out the illegals within less than 48 hours. Sorry,
Chuck — try harder, next time.
Biden
Makes Securing U.S. Jobs Easier for Border Crossers, Illegal Aliens. President Joe Biden's administration
is making it easier for border crossers and illegal aliens to secure American jobs after they are released into the
United States interior. In 2019, former President Trump directed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to stop
fast-tracking work permits for border crossers and illegal aliens who are subsequently released into American
communities. The rule change made sure that border crossers and illegal aliens would need to be in the U.S. for at
least a year before applying for work permits through the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
agency. Now, as Reuters reports, Biden is repealing the Trump-era rule change to ensure that hundreds of thousands
of border crossers and illegal aliens his DHS releases every few months into the U.S. interior can now more quickly
secure work permits to take American jobs.
Majority
of Americans Want Abbott to Continue Busing Illegals to Dem-Run Cities. As the Biden administration
continues to ignore their responsibilities of keeping the southern border secure, Republican governors are taking the
issue into their own hands and sending the illegal migrants elsewhere so the Democrats will be forced get a grip on the
crisis. The Texas Politics Project at the University of Texas found that 52% of Texas voters want Gov. Greg
Abbott (D-TX) to continue to bus migrants out of their state. Abbott said that he decided to ship illegal migrants
to cities such as New York City and Washington D.C. because of "President Biden's continued refusal to acknowledge the
crisis caused by his open border policies."
The
Border Crisis Is Just The Tip Of The Iceberg. In Mexico, A Cartel Crisis Looms. This week, U.S.
Customs and Border Protection announced that apprehensions of illegal immigrants surpassed 2.1 million for the fiscal
year in August, with more than 203,000 apprehensions last month alone, marking six straight months of southwest border
arrests exceeding 200,000. Nothing like this has ever happened before. The 2.1 million figure represents an
all-time high, surpassing the previous record of 1.7 million, set in fiscal year 2021. That is to say, every year
President Joe Biden has been in office has been a record-breaking year of illegal immigration. Biden's policies
are directly responsible for the ongoing border crisis, which will continue unabated until those policies change.
Whatever the number ends up being for 2022, the number for 2023 will almost certainly be higher.
Adams asks feds for
$500M over border crisis — in NYC — but won't tell Biden to end surge. Mayor Eric
Adams is desperately seeking at least $500 million in federal funding to deal with the flood of migrants into the Big
Apple — leading bipartisan critics to question why he just doesn't demand that President Biden stop the flow
from Mexico. City Hall privately asked the White House for the emergency cash midway through the summer, saying it
would cover just one year's worth of spending on the migrants who Adams has said are straining the city's shelter system
to its "breaking point," The [New York] Post has learned. More than 13,600 asylum-seeking migrants have arrived in
New York City since the spring, according to the city's latest official estimate. Discussions over the
request — which followed an initial, public appeal by Adams in July — have continued since then
but the Biden administration hasn't given city officials a firm answer, according to multiple sources familiar with the
matter.
Democrat
Gov. J.B. Pritzker Activates National Guard Over 0.01% of Biden's Border Crisis Arriving in Illinois.
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) is activating the National Guard over 0.01 percent of President Joe Biden's
record-breaking illegal immigration crisis arriving in the sanctuary state via migrant buses sent by Texas Gov. Greg
Abbott (R). For more than two weeks, Abbott has sent about 500 border crossers and illegal aliens to Chicago, Illinois,
which prides itself on being a sanctuary jurisdiction for illegal aliens. The 500 arrivals account for just
0.01 percent of the estimated five million border crossers and illegal aliens who have crossed the southern border
since Biden took office.
Nonprofits
Violate IRS Rules to Wage a Legal War for Illegal Aliens. Three of the migrants who were flown in by
Gov. DeSantis to Martha's Vineyard filed a lawsuit against the Florida governor claiming that they were somehow
lured to the sanctuary island. The lawsuit is completely baseless since the "false promises and false
representations" that the migrants would get "employment, housing, educational opportunities" were actually copied by
Florida from a brochure put out by the Massachusetts Office for Refugees and Immigrants. It's Massachusetts and
the elites of Martha's Vineyard who refused to honor their promises. The lawyers representing the migrants, Yanet
Doe, Pablo Doe, and Jesus Doe, are from the Boston chapter of Lawyers for Civil Rights. The national organization
was created at the behest of JFK and RFK and funded by the Ford Foundation making it an obviously partisan group.
Despite its partisan agenda, it functions as a 501(c)(3). As do many other leftist lawfare groups.
Martha's
Vineyard Residents Wallow in Their Disgusting Hypocrisy. The demonstration was just one of many hard
knocks Vineyard residents have endured since 48 mostly Venezuelan migrants were removed from the "sanctuary" island by
the National Guard last Friday. After receiving basic support, but no invitations to stay on an island where
63 percent of homes are vacant in the offseason, the migrants now reside at Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC), a military
installation in mainland Massachusetts. Critics have been relentless in calling out Vineyard hypocrisy. As a
"sanctuary" jurisdiction in a self-proclaimed "sanctuary" state, Martha's Vineyard joined other such places, which
promise never to inform on migrants to immigration authorities. Yet it did precisely that the second even a small
number of them appeared in their midst. The Vineyard community allowed the migrants to sleep in a church hall and
gave them basic meals before the military took them away in the presence of cheering crowds of well-off locals who
sincerely believe they did a good and honorable deed. From the moment their "humanitarian crisis" began, Vineyard
residents congratulated themselves and lectured an incredulous world on their monumental virtue and inexhaustible compassion.
Soros-Funded
Group Behind Lawsuit Targeting DeSantis for Flying Illegal Aliens to Martha's Vineyard. A left-wing
non-governmental organization (NGO) partially funded by billionaire George Soros is behind a lawsuit targeting Florida
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for flying illegal aliens to the elite coastal island of Martha's Vineyard. Late last
week, DeSantis sent two flights packed with 50 illegal aliens from Venezuela to Martha's Vineyard, where former
President Obama has a sprawling 29-acre summer estate. Despite having the capacity to house six million new
arrivals, the illegal aliens were bused off Martha's Vineyard less than 48 hours later to Joint Base Cape Cod.
A handful of illegal aliens flown to Martha's Vineyard have since filed a class action lawsuit against DeSantis, alleging
their Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated.
The Editor says...
Did the authors of the Constitution as written and as amended intend to have constitutional rights extend to illegal aliens?
The border jumpers are present in this country illegally and are presumably subject to deportation at any time. The courts
frequently tell U.S. citizens that they don't have "standing" to sue, so why are illegal aliens in a better position?
Illegal
Aliens, Deported from Martha's Vineyard, Want to Return to 'Beautiful' Island. Illegal aliens who were
deported off Martha's Vineyard less than 48 hours after their arrival now say they would like to return to the
"beautiful" elite island home of the wealthy's summer estates. Late last week, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R)
sent two flights packed with 50 illegal aliens from Venezuela to Martha's Vineyard, where former President Obama has a
sprawling 29-acre summer estate.
Martha's
Meltdown Model. Martha's Vineyard has been all over the news. The tony resort community so loves
aiding and comforting the undocumented immigrants who were flown in from Florida that it hugged them — for
all of 48 hours. Oddly, the Left became unhinged when red-state governors — whose states the last two
years were flooded with some 3 million people who entered the country illegally — finally decided to spread
welcoming chores among affluent blue-state communities. It was a natural fit. Most, like Washington, D.C.,
and New York, were on record as sanctuary city jurisdictions. In the abstract, they endorse open borders and
celebrate diversity — from the serenity of thousands of miles away. The uproar at Martha's Vineyard
prompted the Democratic hierarchy to do some explaining. Why had it not earlier objected to the federal government
night flights of tens of thousands of border-crossers to red-state communities that had opposed illegal immigration?
Bad
news for Dems: The border crisis is the new Roe in Google searches. My, how quickly the plot changes with
just a single flight to Martha's Vineyard! To be fair, the media's interest in the border crisis began spiking
upward before then, but not much before Ron DeSantis sent 50 illegal immigrants to the wealthy Massachusetts
enclave. When buses began arriving in "sanctuary cities" like New York City and Washington DC, thanks to the
efforts of DeSantis, Greg Abbott, and Doug Ducey, the media went into full freak-out mode. They excoriated these
Republican governors endlessly, and still do. And you can guess what that did for public interest in the border
crisis. Axios reports this morning that it has now eclipsed interest in abortion, a topic that mainstream media
spent the summer flogging for the midterms, as well as the Mar-a-Lago kerfuffle.
Biden
Says Deporting Illegal Immigrants to Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua Is 'Not Rational'. President Joe Biden
said Tuesday that it's "not rational" to send illegal immigrants at the southern border who fled Venezuela, Cuba, and
Nicaragua, back to their own nations. "There are three countries," Biden said during a Tuesday briefing, upon being
pressed about why the U.S.-Mexico border is "more overwhelmed on [his] watch." "There are fewer and fewer immigrants
coming from Central America than from Mexico. It's a totally different circumstance," he said, referring to the
administration of his predecessor, former President Donald Trump. "What's on my watch now is Venezuela, Cuba, and
Nicaragua, and the ability to send them back to those states is not rational," the president continued, adding that he
is "working with Mexico and other countries" to stop the flow from those nations. U.S. Customs and Border
Protection has documented over 2 million encounters at the southern border so far this fiscal year, compared to
1.7 million encounters in the whole fiscal year of 2021 and less than half a million the previous year.
Border
communities seethe as Democrats seek money for Martha's Vineyard migrants. Martha's Vineyard said it was
stressed when about 50 migrants were flown to the exclusive island enclave this month. In Brooks County, Texas,
Sheriff Urbino "Benny" Martinez had to laugh. His county has already seen that many migrants this year, just
counting dead bodies. Some 78 migrants, all victims of the treacherous journey, have been collected from
ranchlands in the county. That adds to the 119 bodies last year. Each costs money to gather, handle and
autopsy. The sheriff said the county spends hundreds of thousands of dollars to do that work. That's on top
of the more standard costs of smuggling and crime. Smugglers cut ranch fencing, which has to be repaired at $600
for every 100 feet. The sheriff's department has counted 32 stolen vehicles and a handful of stolen firearms it
says are part of the border chaos. Even fuel costs add up as sheriff's deputies are called out for car chases with
smugglers. The brouhaha over busing migrants is vexing officials in small communities along the southern border.
The
Moral Case for Ron DeSantis' 'Migrant Transports'. Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida on Wednesday,
September 14, facilitated two flights of approximately 50 Venezuelan migrants to Martha's Vineyard. This is part
of DeSantis' push to draw attention to the border policies of President Biden. [...] There is a moral upshot to his
actions that few, in their sentimental reaction to the plight of displaced peoples, will bear witness to. And it
is this: the plight in Venezuela is not accidental. It was deliberate, planned and orchestrated by the people
of Venezuela. As several economists and political theorists including James Piereson have pointed out, for the
majority of the twentieth century Venezuela was one of the most prosperous South American countries. It had a very
diversified economy replete with plenty oil reserves that permitted the country to acquire export surpluses. As a
result, people there enjoyed a higher standard of living. However, the people of Venezuela elected an
authoritarian socialist thug, Hugo Chavez, who ran on a socialist platform.
DeSantis
Has Receipts That Pokes Major Holes In Migrant Class Action Lawsuit. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' office
responded to the class action lawsuit filed on behalf of the migrants flown to Martha's Vineyard by immigration lawyers
and activists by showing the migrants signed consent forms. The lawsuit claims the flights were "a premeditated,
fraudulent, and illegal scheme centered on exploiting [the migrants] for the sole purpose of advancing their own
personal, financial and political interests." "It is opportunistic that activists would use illegal immigrants
for political theater. If these activists spent even a fraction of this time and effort at the border, perhaps
some accountability would be brought to the Biden Administration's reckless border policies that entice illegal
immigrants to make dangerous and often lethal journeys through Central America and put their lives in the hands of
cartels and Coyotes," said DeSantis' office on Tuesday [9/20/2022].
Joe
Biden's Migrants Are Bursting New York. The massive inflow of President Joe Biden's foreign migrants into
New York City is causing a crisis in the city's chaotic and expensive housing market. Welcoming Democrats are
trying to fix their self-inflicted problem by deporting some of the migrants to lower-wage employers in peripheral
cities, and by holding other migrants in unused cruise liners. Local and migrants are also competing for housing
spaces, including at one 1,000-bed shelter, the New York Post reported on September 19[.]
The Point
Has Been Made. Even before the newly-inaugurated Joe Biden began carrying through with his open borders
promises in January 2021, a border crisis of staggering proportions was rapidly developing along the southern border of
the United States expressly due to what Biden said throughout his campaign that he would do if elected. "I would, in
fact, make sure that there is — we immediately surge to the border. All those people who are seeking
asylum, they deserve to be heard," Biden infamously proclaimed during the third Democratic presidential primary debate
in Sept. 2019. "That's who we are. We're a nation who says, if you want to flee, and you're freeing oppression,
you should come." Obviously, that's exactly what happened, so much so to the point that we've seen record numbers
of illegal immigrants cross the border under Biden's watch since he shut down border construction and scrapped former
President Donald Trump's Remain in Mexico policy, with the "gotaways" (those who slip beyond border enforcement authorities
and make it into the country untouched) in 2022 alone numbering in the mid-hundreds of thousands so far.
Biden's
Open-border Policies are Killing Americans. Daily, the American public is confronted with images of
illegal aliens invading our country. The United States has been a stable republic because we have advocated and
practiced being a nation of laws. When governments become hostile to the rule of law, they undermine
Americanism. As states along the southern border struggle to handle this mass inflow of humanity, prompted by
Democrat's abandonment of law, buses and planes are now transporting arriving aliens to lawless sanctuary cities around
the country. These anti-American cities include Chicago, New York, and even the nation's capital. To anyone
who has seen these images, it has become clear that the open-border policies of the Biden administration have led to a
multi-pronged health, humanitarian, and national security disaster. Less visible, but deadly, is the corresponding
spike in China-sponsored fentanyl that has been smuggled across the border and is closely tied to the hordes of illegal aliens.
The
moral necessity of DeSantis's immigrant flight. It was necessary for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to fly
illegal immigrants from San Antonio to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. If you want to know why, look no further
than President Joe Biden's interview on 60 Minutes on Sunday night. Given at least 15 minutes to ask whatever
questions it thought important, CBS News made no mention of border security. Not a peep. Zip.
Zilch. Nada. Yet illegal immigrants are crossing the southern border at a record pace. The number has
passed 2 million this fiscal year, but the Biden administration hasn't yet made that official by releasing the August
data. Why the delay? You guess. As a direct result of these record high illegal crossings, record
numbers are also dying on the southern border — 750 so far this year, which is 200 more than last year and
500 more than in 2020. These deaths are all due to the chaos caused by Biden's catch-and-release border
policy. CBS News either doesn't care about these dead immigrants or does not want to embarrass Biden by asking
difficult questions that the public deserves to have answered.
Flashback:
Gavin Newsom Shipped Homeless People Out of San Francisco With 'One-Way Tickets'. Governor Gavin Newsom
sent a letter to Merrick Garland on Thursday requesting the Attorney General look into "kidnapping" charges for those
involved in Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' effort to send illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard. But if shipping
people out of state to try and give them a better life amounts to "kidnapping," Newsom has some explaining to do.
In July of 2019, SFist published an article critiquing a program called 'Homeward Bound,' an effort initiated by Newsom
as mayor of San Francisco in 2004. The program paid for bus tickets out of town, presumably with the destination
being to friends and family willing to take the homeless individual in. SFist, however, described it as a program
with a nice name which masks the fact that it "gives unsheltered San Franciscans a one-way Greyhound bus ticket out of
town and asks them to please never come back."
Illegal
Alien Encounters Hit 2 Million in One Year for First Time as Biden Border Crisis Rages. Let's be clear
from the outset: President Joe Biden is responsible — intentionally so — for the
Southern Border crisis that he and he alone created, which continues to pose a direct threat to the American
people. Despite the preposterous lies from "Border Czar" Kamala Harris about a "secure" border, and White House
press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's ridiculous insistence that the border is "closed," hundreds of thousands of illegal
aliens continue to stream into America, many of them apprehended, processed, and released into the country —
while untold numbers are undetected.
Illegal
migrant commits suicide in NYC shelter; Mayor Adams blames Governor Abbott. New York City Mayor Eric Adams
confirmed on Monday that a female illegal migrant committed suicide on Sunday in a city shelter. He promptly
placed the blame squarely on Governor Abbott. He called it a man-made humanitarian crisis. I'll agree with
the mayor, it is a man-made humanitarian crisis. However, the man who made it is Joe Biden, not Greg Abbott.
Mayor Adams can't rewrite history. Joe Biden ran for president and promised to undo everything that the previous
administration did to secure the border with Mexico. He promised to freeze deportations of illegal immigrants
already in the country. And he pledged to work toward blanket amnesty for illegal aliens. All of this was
music to the ears of would-be migrants and they started coming to the border even before Joe Biden was sworn into
office. They are still coming. In the first two years of the Biden administration, the U.S. in on track to
apprehend about four million illegal migrants. It is, in fact, an humanitarian crisis. It's also a national
security crisis and a crisis of our nation's sovereignty.
'Martha's
Vineyard Invasion Song' exposing glaring liberal hypocrisy takes internet by storm. A BlazeTV host has
gone viral for writing and singing a song about the pompous, hoity-toity Martha's Vineyard liberal elites who last week
threw a fit over 50 illegal aliens being flown to their luxurious little island. Called "The Martha's Vineyard
Invasion Song," the song by host Chad Prather and CJaye LeRose mocks the blatant, glaring hypocrisy of the nearly
100 percent white island and its bougie residents. [Video clip]
Newsom
slams 'morally reprehensible' migrant transports despite launching homeless bus program as SF mayor.
California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is accusing Republican Govs. Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott
of Texas of possible kidnapping and has called their transporting of illegal immigrants to progressive states "morally
reprehensible," despite launching a program as San Francisco mayor that bussed thousands of homeless people out of San
Francisco and the state. Fox News Digital first reported on Wednesday that DeSantis sent two planes full of
illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard after promising he would relocate them to a "sanctuary destination." Abbott
similarly began sending thousands of illegals to Washington, D.C., in April and has since sent busloads to New York City
and Chicago. Newsom responded to DeSantis' latest action by sending a letter asking Attorney General Merrick
Garland to investigate whether the governors sending migrants out of their states are breaking the law by kidnapping.
Martha's
Vineyard Newspaper Lists 50 Job Ads Despite Claims of No Work on Island. While some locals have claimed
that the illegal immigrants who arrived on this wealthy island should go elsewhere since there wouldn't be work for them
with the summer rush gone, the local newspaper has listed 50 help wanted ads in a recent issue, and the local
supermarket chain has been known to need help all year long. The classified section of the Vineyard Gazette listed
more than 50 jobs in the same issue that ran a story about the illegal aliens, referring to them as "stranded migrants."
The job ads included positions for laborers, custodians, landscapers, bakers, cooks, dishwashers, technicians, library assistant,
and several retail positions. The local YMCA also listed several job openings, including housekeepers, ice arena workers,
and a front desk administrator. The spacious Y, located near where the illegal immigrants spent the night at
St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, shares a complex with Martha's Vineyard Community Services (MVCS), which also ran a
help wanted ad in the paper, including a job for administrative assistant, "bilingual preferred."
7
Fun Things Illegal Migrants Can Do in Martha's Vineyard This Month. The arrival of 50 illegal migrants at
Martha's Vineyard on Wednesday rocked the small island but inadvertently allowed the foreign visitors brief exposure to
one of America's top travel destinations. Martha's Vineyard's tightknit, affluent community, comprising mostly
Democrats, including former President Barack Obama, had proudly taken in the migrants after they were flown in by
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). [...] The migrants' stay at the Vineyard was, however, short-lived as Massachusetts
Gov. Charlie Baker (R) was quick to deport them from the island. Baker announced he was sending them on
Friday to a military base on Cape Cod because "the island communities are not equipped to provide sustainable
accommodation" for the mostly Venezuelan nationals.
Broken
border: Illegal immigration arrests under Biden exceed Obama's eight years. An extraordinary number of
immigrants are crossing into the United States from Mexico since early 2021, setting off a series of crises at the
border as well as the interior of the country — the likes of which are unprecedented. In the first year
and a half of President Joe Biden 's tenure, Border Patrol agents nationwide have arrested more people who came cross
the border unlawfully than in President Barack Obama's two terms — an indication of the magnitude of the
situation. Border Patrol's 20,000 federal agents nationwide made 3,484,327 apprehensions of immigrants who were
unauthorized to enter the U.S. in less than two years of Biden's presidency, compared to 3,384,816 apprehensions during
the eight fiscal years that coincided with Obama's two terms in office. Some illegal immigrants tried more than
once to cross, particularly during the pandemic, because agents immediately expelled many back to Mexico.
Martha's
Vineyard Liberals Scream 'Not in my Backyard!' Who knew that residents of woke and progressive Martha's
Vineyard were racist, white supremacist, xenophobes? Former President Barack Obama owns a $12 million estate on
this racist island off the coast of Massachusetts. Are the Obamas racists? Other liberal celebrities either
live or frequent Martha's Vineyard, including Oprah Winfrey, Larry David, Bill Murray, John Kerry, and the
Clintons. Perhaps they are all racists, too, as the island has become anti-immigration. As NBC News
confidently asserts, there is "racism behind anti-immigration rhetoric," rhetoric which we are now hearing from Martha's
Vineyard. Democrats and the left do not believe in a sovereign national border, instead encouraging illegal
immigration and amnesty for those making their way from anywhere to the United States. Democrats have voted to
defend sanctuary cities and block mandatory jail time for repeat illegals.
Illegal
Immigration is Reaching a Point of No Return. In the face of epidemic fentanyl deaths, vaccine injuries
reaching into the tens of thousands, inflation skyrocketing, violent crime off the charts, mobs threatening Supreme
Court judges, and as more than two million illegals, and counting, stream across the border — liberals and
leftists screamed the loudest, last week, about 50 migrants desecrating Martha's Vineyard. Democrats haven't
always been so reckless. Not too long ago, illegal immigration was a no-brainer. "Illegal immigration is
wrong — plain and simple," Chuck Schumer said in 2009. Hillary Clinton belched in 2003, "I am adamantly
against illegal immigration." [...] Today, illegal immigration has not only become accepted, but institutionalized.
Seeing a rich, liberal enclave like Martha's Vineyard summon the National Guard and kick out 50 "migrants" in a little
more than a day, was a marvel to behold. And rare.
Biden
Admin Awards $80 Million Contract That Prohibits GPS Monitoring Of Illegal Immigrants. The Biden
administration is spending nearly $80 million on a new system to monitor illegal immigrants that prohibits the use of
any GPS technology, a decision that experts say will make it impossible to locate their whereabouts after their release
into the United States. The system, according to government records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, is
meant to track illegal immigrants via monthly check-ins via phone. Migrants released into the U.S. interior aged
18-19 are eligible for the program. Any GPS monitoring that would give exact locations, such as ankle monitor
tracking, is explicitly forbidden, according to the contract.
Democrat-led
El Paso is moving illegal migrants to NYC by bus, after White House slammed GOP governors who did the
same. Despite the White House fury that GOP governors face for sending migrants to sanctuary cities, El
Paso's Democrat-led city government has been doing the same for weeks — and is asking for the Biden
administration to pay for it. Led by Mayor Oscar Leeser, a Democrat, the Texas border city has dispatched at least
28 charter buses filled with migrants to New York City since August 23, at a cost of more than $600,000, KFOX-TV
reported this week. City officials say that they expect the buses to be paid for by Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA), as part of a quarterly reimbursement process covering emergency food and shelter for migrants.
Obama
[and other] Martha's Vineyard celebs [are] silent on opening up island homes to illegal immigrants. Former
President Barack Obama and several other high-profile Democrats who own homes on Martha's Vineyard have remained silent
on whether they will open up their homes to provide comfort to any illegal immigrants sent to the island by Republican
governors. Representatives for the former president did not respond to multiple requests for comment from Fox News
Digital on whether he has considered opening up his sprawling 29-acre estate on Martha's Vineyard to illegal immigrants
who have been sent to the island or may be in the future. In addition, Fox News Digital reached out to
representatives for prominent public supporters of President Biden who own homes on Martha's Vineyard but did not
receive a response.
Migrants
are actually thanking Desantis for sending them to the vineyard. Spin that, libs! MSNBC found
themselves guilty of accidental journalism Friday when their reporter on the scene at Martha's Vineyard revealed the
distinct difference in sentiment between illegal immigrants getting transported around the country and the activists
working to advance the progressive narrative. [Video clip] Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' upped the
ante in the effort to draw attention to the crisis at the southern border earlier this week when 50 illegal immigrants
were flown to the self-proclaimed "sanctuary" island, Martha's Vineyard. As evidenced by the swift removal of the
illegals at the behest of locals calling the situation a "humanitarian crisis," the expensive vacation destination was
only meant to be a sanctuary for the wealthy and the migrants who had been relocated were pleased to have been "brought
to paradise."
By
transporting migrants, GOP governors are exposing Democrats' hypocrisy. Next time, Joe Biden should be
more precise when he calls for national unity. Because he and his fellow Democrats don't like the kind of unity
they're getting from Republican governors. The decision by GOP leaders in Texas, Florida and Arizona to "share"
their abundance of foreign migrants with northern cities and states that boast of their sanctuary status is apparently
not a gift the Dems appreciate. In fact, the president and his party are so mad they're setting fire to the
welcome wagons. Shipping the migrants north is outrageous, a stunt, pure politics, they wail. The White
House is making noises about assigning its chief partisan enforcer, Attorney General Merrick Garland, to stop it.
That would be the height of irony because the same White House has for months secretly shipped tens of thousands of
migrants around the country, often in the middle of the night with no notice to local officials. No Dems
complained then, so where did their love go?

More Buses Full of Illegal Aliens Heading to New York City Left El Paso Yesterday. Keep 'em coming!
Governors Abbott, Ducey and DeSantis need to keep busing and flying illegals to Democrat sanctuary cities. So far
illegals have been transported to Chicago, New York City, DC and Martha's Vineyard. Texas Governor Abbott this
week sent busloads of illegals to Kamala Harris' front yard in DC. [...] Texas has transported 2,365 illegals on 51
buses to New York City since August 23, Fox News reported.
Ted
Cruz Suggests 3 Locations for Abbott and DeSantis to Deposit Illegal Aliens. Cruz on Friday urged Abbott
and DeSantis to bus illegals to three new liberal areas after the national news was dominated by Abbott's shipment of
roughly 100 illegals to the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory in D.C. in front of the residence of Kamala
Harris — who continues to insist the border is "secure" — and Desantis sent 50 illegals to the
smug Democrat enclave of Martha's Vineyard, sending wealthy liberals into apoplectic fits of hysteria. The
unwanted migrants were promptly shipped off the island within 24 hours. Anyway, as Cruz sees it, Nantucket,
Massachusetts; Palo Alto, California; and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, should be added to the travel docket. [Tweets]
It Only Took
24 Hours For A Rich Liberal Enclave To Kick Out Their Illegal Migrants. Just 24 hours after receiving
about 50 migrants, the national guard was activated to ship the handful of migrants from Martha's Vineyard to another
town. The migrants arrived Wednesday after Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew them in on two planes,
declaring Florida was not a sanctuary state. The island called itself a "sanctuary destination" shortly after
former President Donald Trump took office, according to PBS. Certainly delivering migrants who are overwhelming
border communities to an island that decisively voted for President Joe Biden in 2020 would be welcomed. Wrong.
Migrants,
We Hardly Knew Ye. Well, that was quick. A mere 50 illegal immigrants threw Martha's Vineyard into a
tizzy, revealing the shallowness of liberals' humanitarianism. At least one Vineyard resident called on the Obamas
to open up their $12 million mansion to the illegals, and there were social media exchanges like this one: [Tweet]
But mostly, liberals reacted with outrage. Joe Biden denounced Ron DeSantis's shipping of illegals to Martha's
Vineyard as "unAmerican" — Biden is quite the patriot lately — but why? The Biden
administration has been flying illegals to various locations around the country, usually in the dark of night, for the
last year and a half. Apparently what is "unAmerican" is sending illegal immigrants to the haunts of the rich
rather than to hard-pressed working class communities.
Turns
Out the Illegals Sent to Martha's Vineyard Weren't Deceived About Their Destination. Remember when
leftists, in their full-on meltdown over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis transporting illegal aliens to Martha's
Vineyard, shrieked about the notion that these individuals were not told where they were going? Yeah, looks like
that particular narrative wasn't exactly in line with reality. [...] The Daily Caller News Foundation reported that the
illegals who were transported to the white progressive haven at Martha's Vineyard knew exactly where they were
going. In fact, they obtained the documents these individuals were given before making the trek to the island.
Liberal
Narratives Implode With NYC's New Response to Illegal Aliens Bused from Texas. This week seems to have
been the week when the liberals just proved how empty all their claims about sanctuary cities really are, as they
descended into "not in my backyard" hysterics about a few illegal aliens being sent to Kamala Harris in D.C. and about
50 being sent to the liberal enclave of Martha's Vineyard. Turns out as we reported, the liberal enclave couldn't
even deal with the situation for a couple of days before they packed the illegal aliens on buses, and shipped them away
to Joint Base Cape Cod, to be looked after by the National Guard. But the liberals' NIMBY response doesn't end
there. Turns out now that New York, which boasts about being a sanctuary city and has a law that they have to
house everyone now says they aren't able to deal with it, after getting several thousand illegal aliens from Texas over
the past few months.
Kamala
Harris Refuses to Acknowledge the Illegal Migrants Who Arrived At Her D.C. Doorsteps. Two buses full of
illegal migrants arrived at Vice President Kamala Harris' D.C. doorsteps this week so that she would have no way of
ignoring the border crisis her and the Biden administration have created. However she still has managed to not
acknowledge the ever-growing issue. On Thursday, Harris refused to comment on the buses sent by Gov. Greg
Abbott (R-TX) that arrived from Del Rio, Texas carrying over 100 illegal immigrants that were dropped off outside
of her residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C.
Holding
the open-borders Democrats accountable. The U.S. is currently in the midst of a serious border crisis
since Joe Biden took over. More than 1.7 million migrant encounters occurred in FY 2021, and more than
2 million in FY 2022. The actual number of individuals who managed to cross the border and are inside the U.S.
has to be considerably higher. So what usually occurs after these migrants are apprehended? The Biden administration
transports these migrants, including the underaged migrants, via night flights, from Texas to New York, late at night.
So what happens after they land? The New York Post reported that the migrants are then bussed to various other states
or cities such as New Jersey or Philadelphia. It isn't beyond the realms of possibility that these migrants are dropped
into swing states. None of this is reported by the mainstream news media, obviously.
The
geese of Martha's Vineyard have to live with their gander policies. Is it "cruel" to send illegal
immigrants to Martha's Vineyard, as Press Secretary Karine Jeanne-Pierre says? Was it also cruel when the Biden
administration sent illegals from the border to Red states? What is the difference in the level of cruelty between
liberals sending their illegals to red states and conservatives sending theirs to blue states and cities, or is it cruel
only when conservatives do it? Liberals are on board for virtue-signaling diversity (and the crime) that comes of
illegal immigration so long as it is NIMBY. Does cruelty accrue only when Democrats are hurt?
NYTimes:
DHS Mayorkas Demands Control over Migrant Transports. The nation's pro-migration border chief wants a
bigger fleet of buses and aircraft to quietly control the delivery of many economic migrants to their preferred cities,
according to the New York Times. The demand comes from Cuban-born Alejandra Mayorkas, the pro-migration
zealot who runs the Department of Homeland Security for President Joe Biden. His plan was revealed amid the
establishment media's uproar over two GOP governors' public transport of illegal migrants to the Vice President's House
in Washington, DC, and to the elite island resort of Martha's Vinyard, off Massachusetts. Mayorkas' busing plan
would block those dramatic GOP drop-offs by corraling the migrants under federal supervision until they are delivered to
their preferred cities by agency-controlled buses and aircraft.
That
Was Quick: Buses Arrive at Martha's Vineyard and Deport Illegals Off the Island. On Wednesday, Republican
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sent two planes carrying illegal immigrants to the island of Martha's Vineyard, an
exclusive elite liberal community that prides itself on its tolerance and sanctuary status. Rather than fly the
illegals in the dead of night hidden from public view like Joe Biden, Governor DeSantis flew the migrants to the leftist
enclave in broad daylight. Democrats were furious that Governor DeSantis would pull off such a "stunt"! How dare
he expose the liberal left for their disgusting hypocrisy! Joe Biden immediately opened the borders after moving into
the White House. Over 2 million illegals have walked into the US this fiscal year. Democrats expect the
rest of the country to deal with the invasion that they caused!
Martha's
Vineyard's 'humanitarian crisis' statement ridiculed on social media. Martha's Vineyard was slammed on
Twitter for declaring a "humanitarian crisis" based on the illegal immigrants sent to them by Florida Gov. Ron
DeSantis, R., on Thursday. DeSantis' office revealed to Fox News Digital on Wednesday that the governor was
responsible for sending two planes of illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard in response to the Biden administration's
failure to secure the southern border. Massachusetts Democrats, including representatives from Martha's Vineyard,
condemned the governor for using illegal immigrants as "political pawns," suggesting that the city is struggling to take
care for migrants.
Spanish
TV Reporter Says Martha's Vineyard Residents Privately Admitted They 'Don't Want Migrants Here'. A Spanish
TV reporter for Telemundo said Martha's Vineyard residents privately admitted to not wanting migrants on the
island. Speaking outside St. Andrew's church where the 50 migrants that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R)
shipped up to the elite liberal vacation spot, Cristina Londoño Rooney of Telemundo said that residents refused to
be interviewed on camera about their displeasure with the situation for fear of appearing "inhumane." "A furious
man passed by just a short time ago. He said that his children had to leave this island because there are no jobs
or housing, and now they bring these migrants over, deceiving them with those promises," she said.
Night
vision footage shows more than 500 people marching into Texas over one night — while Martha's Vineyard melted down over
just 50 migrants. Shocking night vision footage shows the moment more than 500 migrants sneaked across the
southern border into Texas — despite Kamala Harris claiming it was 'secure'. The jaw-dropping thermal imaging
video showed sprawling lines of people queuing in Mexico before slowly making their way into Eagle Pass overnight.
The three huge groups were spotted marching over rough terrain while being herded by what appeared to be a lesser number
of guides.
Florida
Democrats Outraged by Migrants Sent to Martha's Vineyard Voted for the Budget to Make It Happen. Several
Florida Democrats who are publicly expressing shock and outrage over Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) sending undocumented
migrants to Martha's Vineyard actually voted in favor of the state budget, which appropriates $12 million for a program
to do just that. The governor signed the $109.9 billion "Freedom First" budget in June, which invests in
education, law enforcement, and provides tax holidays, among other things. A document highlighting some of the
biggest initiatives in the budget explicitly states that the budget "creates a $12 million program within the Florida
Department of Transportation to facilitate the transport of unauthorized aliens out of Florida."
DeSantis
criticizes Democrats after sending migrants to Martha's Vineyard: 'Their virtue signaling is a fraud'.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis hit back at critics of his plan to transport illegal immigrants entering the state,
saying that blue "sanctuary cities" are now being forced to observe the ramifications of a weak border. DeSantis
made the remarks Thursday after Democrats called the transportation of migrants a political stunt. "We take what's
happening at the southern border very seriously, unlike some," DeSantis said in a Thursday speech, "and unlike the
president of the United States, who has refused to lift a finger to secure that border."
Martha's
Vineyard deports 50 illegal migrants to Cape Cod military base after the billionaire's haven declared a 'humanitarian
emergency'. Illegal immigrants who were flown in unannounced to Martha's Vineyard on Wednesday are now
being moved to a military base in Cape Cod. The 50 migrants have been put on buses by Gov. Charlie Baker to
travel the 32 miles to Joint Base in Cape Cod (JBCC) just 48 hours after they landed in the billionaire's enclave.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis flew in the immigrants from Venezuela on Wednesday, sparking a widespread cry of outrage
from the liberal leaders of the small island in Massachusetts.
Friction
between White House and senior Homeland Security officials mounts as migrant border crossings soar.
Friction between the Biden White House and senior officials at the Department of Homeland Security over how to handle
immigration is mounting, according to internal documents and communications reviewed by NBC News, as the number of
undocumented migrants crossing the southern border keeps rising and Republican governors send migrants to more
Democratic-run cities. The White House has recently hosted a series of high-level meetings on immigration, where
DHS officials have presented options, including flying migrants to the country's northern border with Canada to
alleviate overcrowding on the U.S.-Mexico border, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the discussions.
Some DHS officials have openly expressed frustration at those meetings with the White House's reluctance to take a page
from the book of Republican governors and begin transporting migrants to cities within the U.S., according to internal
communications obtained by NBC News.
Tucker
Carlson Notices the Missing Jubilation in Martha's Vineyard as Dozens of Illegal Aliens Arrive. A strange
thing happened. After lecturing the nation on the virtues of mass migration, the white liberal democrats on
Martha's Vineyard did not celebrate the arrival of the non-white immigrants they have been demanding for years.
Fox News host Tucker Carlson noted in his monologue that Martha's Vineyard famous nimby residents, including former
President Barack Obama, did not welcome the people of color as one would expect. Instead of celebrating the new
diversity, oddly the residents quickly moved to find alternate off island locations to accept the arriving immigrants.

Send
All of the Illegals to Martha's Vineyard. In an extremely imaginative problem-solving (or
problem-highlighting) move, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Wednesday flew two planeloads of illegal immigrants to
Martha's Vineyard. A Martha's Vineyard lawmaker tweeted that "our island jumped into action," and that "these
immigrants were met with compassion, not chaos." In another tweet, however, he accused Republicans of using human lives
as "political pawns," calling it "evil and inhumane." But if we take this lawmaker at his word in the first
instance, where he sounds excited about welcoming illegally immigrated Mexicans into his community, then I think he may
have solved the nation's immigration problem: We should be sending all our illegal immigrants to Martha's
Vineyard. After all, the busloads that arrived in Washington, D.C. were not welcomed as warmly. So what if
we take the Vineyardian's pro-illegal-immigrant rhetoric at face value? About three-quarters of Vineyard voters
went for Biden in 2020, so we're just honoring their expressed wishes. Let's make Martha's Vineyard an
open-borders socialist paradise. Oh, the compassion you'll see! Martha's Vineyard has a median home value of
about three times the national average. Obviously, for the sake of equity, we need to get those numbers down.
The Editor says...
The wealthy socialists who live at Martha's Vineyard and turn up their noses at the few dozens illegal aliens
now arriving there, are the same people who insisted we're all in this together when the Covid hoax came to town
in 2019.
A
Few Questions About The Martha's Vineyard Migrant Kerfuffle. A person can make a compelling case that
dropping unsuspecting migrants off in places like Chicago or San Francisco is cruel, but Martha's Vineyard? Isn't
it more humane to send migrants to well-heeled communities than to allow them to live in "squalor" in makeshift tent
cities under highway overpasses? Because I rarely hear the left worry about the latter. Then again, why has
a story about 50 migrants spending a couple of days on Martha's Vineyard garnered far more coverage and outrage from the
media and left punditry than 51 migrants being cooked alive in a tractor-trailer only last month? Why is it barely
news that officials dumped 1,000 migrants into the streets of El Paso to fend for themselves the very same day those
50 people arrived in beautiful Martha's Vineyard? Is it humane that some Texas cities see 200,000 newcomers every
month or that places like Del Rio, Texas, with a population of nearly 35,000, are forced to house nearly 50,000
newcomers in "squalid conditions" when pristine sanctuary cities are asked to do nothing?
Facebook
Thread Shows How Martha's Vineyard Residents Really Felt About Illegal Immigrants In Their Community And It's Not
Something You Can See On The MSM. It seems every day the Biden administration slogs on, more proof arises
of screenwriter Burt Prelutsky's maxim: "If liberals didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at
all." The latest humiliating examples of progressive hypocrisy came from the elitist enclave of Martha's Vineyard,
an island south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. This morning pundits have been working really hard to make a big deal
about how the people of Martha's Vineyard took care of these 48 illegal immigrants[.]
Massachusetts
Governor Activates National Guard as Martha's Vineyard Migrants Removed from Island. Massachusetts
governor Charlie Baker said Friday he is deploying up to 125 National Guard members in response to Florida Governor Ron
DeSantis sending a group of just 50 illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard. "Our Administration has been working
across state government to develop a plan to ensure these individuals will have access to the services they need going
forward, and Joint Base Cape Cod is well equipped to serve these needs," the governor said. The national guardsmen
will meet the immigrants at Joint Base Cape Cod on the mainland. Buses retrieved the group of Venezuelans from
St. Andrews church in Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard Friday morning, roughly 24 hours after they arrived on the
island from San Antonio, Texas.
Biden's
border crisis now overwhelming El Paso with street encampments. A new surge of migrants, primarily from
Venezuela, is overwhelming the Border Patrol and shelters in El Paso, Texas, where nearly 1,000 have been released near
bus stations over the past week. Illegal immigrants were released in the United States "in hope that they will
find their own way to their next destinations in the U.S." The conclusion is that the migrants were ordered to be
released with the expectation they will stay in the United States.
Ri-i-i-ight. I presume Hawaii was not one of the options they were given. NYC
is relocating migrants to Florida, after city's immigration boss claimed that's where they'd rather be.
New York City officials are going to fly out migrants to Florida after claiming many of them did not want to come to the
Big Apple. The Commissioner of Immigration Affairs for the city says that a lot of the migrants being bussed from
Texas by Gov Greg Abbott are coming from Venezuela. Manuel Castro claims that the majority of illegal immigrants
that have arrived to New York want to go to Florida because of their large community of Venezuelans.

Biden official met with Soros activists ahead of border crisis discussions: Report. Secretary of Homeland
Security Alejandro Mayorkas held private meetings with border activists linked to liberal megadonor George Soros just
before commiserating with Texas Border Patrol agents last year over the out-of-control migrant crisis, Judicial Watch
has reported. The meetings occurred during an August 2021 visit promoted by the Biden administration to temper
news of a record-breaking monthly crossing of 213,000 immigrants in Texas alone. Mayorkas admitted America was
losing the war against illegal immigration.
The Editor says...
There is no "war against illegal immigration." Quite the opposite is the reality: Illegal immigration is
being encouraged and abetted by socialist Democrats in a wholesale exercise of the Cloward-Piven strategy.
Illegal immigration is unimpeded.
Lori
Lightfoot Drops Biden With the Priceless Words We've Been Waiting to Hear About Illegal Aliens. We saw the
left melting down on Thursday after Texas bused illegal aliens to Kamala Harris' house in Washington, D.C., and Florida
Gov. Ron DeSantis sent 50 illegal aliens up to Martha's Vineyard where the liberal elite like Barack Obama live and
take vacations. They can't even handle 50 illegal aliens without declaring an emergency, while border towns deal
with thousands every day. Texas began sending illegal aliens to Chicago, a sanctuary city, in August. Mayor
Lori Lightfoot's office claimed that they would be welcoming. "As a person of faith, I believe we must see God's
presence in all human beings," Lightfoot said. "That's what being a good Christian is." The "good Christian"
was lying, because once they arrived, Lightfoot rounded them up and then shipped them out to suburbs like Burr
Ridge. Lori Lightfoot had blasted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for treating the migrants like "cargo" and not
providing her with advance notice they were arriving. But then, she turned around and did the same thing.
Migrants
In the Vineyard. The strategy of Greg Abbott and others to send illegal aliens to sanctuary cities around
the country was a stroke of genius. Not that it was original: for at least the last five or six years, a friend
has been emailing me to the effect that illegals should be sent to Marin County, Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco mansion,
and, above all, Martha's Vineyard. That, he said, would bring the open border problem to a screeching halt.
And it may. Ron DeSantis's master stroke of sending two planeloads of aliens to Martha's Vineyard has made liberal
heads explode. The irony is evident to everyone. These places are "sanctuaries" for illegal aliens, but if
they actually see a few of them they panic. Their yards boast "All Are Welcome Here" signs, but it turns out that
some are more welcome than others.
KJP:
It's 'Cruel' To Send Migrants To Liberal Sanctuary Cities. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre
said Thursday that the policy of transporting illegal migrants from Florida and Texas to Democrat-run cities is "cruel."
A White House reporter asked the press secretary to comment on migrants being transported to the "Democratic haven" of Martha's
Vineyard, Massachusetts, and the Vice President Kamala Harris' official residence in Washington, D.C. The press secretary
said the policy is a "political stunt" and "cruel." "It is a political stunt, that's what we're seeing from governors,
Republican governors in particular and it is a cruel, inhumane way of treating people who are fleeing communism, people who
are — and we're not just talking about people, we're talking about children, we're talking about families —
who are promised a home, promised a job, put on a bus and driven to a place they do not know. And it is a cruel
thing to do," Jean-Pierre said.
The Editor says...
[#1] The overwhelming majority of illegal aliens are not fleeing communism or anything else, other than unemployment. Many
of them proudly wave the flags of the countries from which they are "fleeing," so the conditions at home can't be that bad.
By and large, they are just looking for menial jobs and generous government handouts. [#2] Most of the people coming across
the border are unaccompanied by family members, and many are crossing the border for the purpose of giving birth to an "anchor baby"
that will prevent their deportation. [#3] It is extremely unlikely that any significant percentage of the new arrivals have
been "promised a home, [or] promised a job." [#4] If the illegal aliens are being "driven to a place they do not
know," that's immaterial, because most of them are crossing into a country they've never been to, so the whole country is "a place
they do not know."
What
Joe Biden and the Media Don't Want You to Know About the 'Bused Migrants' Nontroversy. I've watched with a
mixture of perplexion and amusement at the mainstream media handwringing over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis shipping
off planeloads of illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sending more to Vice President
Kamala Harris' doorstep just days after she falsely declared the southern border to be "secure." As evidence of
the freakout, check out how CNN's morning crew characterized the moves: [Tweet] I mean who knew that Martha's

is Comparing Ron DeSantis Sending Illegal Migrants to Martha's Vineyard to the Holocaust. Florida
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday sent an estimated 50 migrants to Martha's Vineyard on two planes on Wednesday.
The hysterical fallout in the liberal media is aleady palpable. On Thursday morning, CNN host John Berman had on
documentarian Ken Burns to discuss his film "Defying the Nazis: The Sharps' War" and asked him about how DeSantis'
publicity campaign is comparable to the Nazi holocaust.
Ron
DeSantis sends two planes of illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis
followed through on his promise to drop off illegal immigrants in progressive states, sending two planes full of
migrants to Martha's Vineyard on Wednesday. A video provided to Fox News Digital shows the migrants deboarding the
planes at Martha's Vineyard Airport in Massachusetts. "Yes, Florida can confirm the two planes with illegal
immigrants that arrived in Martha's Vineyard today were part of the state's relocation program to transport illegal
immigrants to sanctuary destinations," the governor's communications director, Taryn Fenske, told Fox News Digital.
Biden's
illegal migrant surge costs taxpayers $20.4 billion a year: study. As if inflation brought on by
government overspending weren't high enough already, a new study shows that Joe Biden's illegal migrant surge is costing
taxpayers $20.4 billion a year, or $9,232 for each illegal migrant. [...] Some two million migrants have come on
in at Biden's incentivization of illegal entry, flooding cities such as El Paso, which has now been described by locals
as looking like "a third-world country," according to the New York Post. Biden's catch-and-release policies of
unvetted migrants into the country have created a disaster for U.S. national security, imported third-world crime, and
created a huge burden for U.S. taxpayers, who are already burdened by Biden's multiple government spending packages, all
of which create inflation. The $20.4 billion figure, times four years of Joe Biden's presidency, would bring the
migrant total cost to $81.6 billion for the taxpayers, which is well more than the $62.5 billion that Joe Biden
has shipped to Ukraine to help that country protect its borders.
Buses
of Illegal Immigrants Arrive at Kamala Harris' House, Shrieking Ensues. As RedState reported on Wednesday
evening, Gov. Ron DeSantis sent two planes of illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard, a favorite landing place for
rich, liberal elites, including Barack Obama. Greg Abbott wasn't to be outdone, though. News broke on
Thursday morning that two busloads of illegal immigrants were dropped off at Kamala Harris' doorstep. That came
just days after the vice president had proclaimed the border "secure." Here's what that contrast looked like.

Biden's
Proposed Public Benefits for Aliens Rule [is] Akin to [an] Unfunded Mandate. In its latest effort to
"remove barriers" to immigration, the Department of Homeland Security is finalizing the long-awaited public charge rule,
codifying a weak standard that upends congressional intent, decades of precedent, and the core American value of
self-reliance. The term "public charge" first appeared in statute in 1882, when Congress barred the admission of
"any person unable to take care of himself or herself without becoming a public charge." More than 100 years
later, Congress issued a statement of national policy on self-sufficiency and immigration when it enacted the Personal
Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. The statement confirmed that aliens within the United
States should not be reliant on public resources, lest those public benefits become an incentive for immigration.
For more than 30 years, temporary guidance governed our understanding and administration of the public charge
doctrine. This narrow interpretation was merely a placeholder for final regulations. When the only
meaningful reforms were made to the doctrine during the Trump administration, liberal activist courts invalidated the
rules to gut this commonsense requirement.
Martha's
Vineyard Chamber Declares 'Humanitarian Crisis' over Arrival of 50 Migrants. The Chamber of Commerce of
Martha's Vineyard said the island was facing a "humanitarian crisis" after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis sent planes
carrying 50 illegal immigrants to the island Wednesday afternoon. [Tweet] "To our Island community, here is an
update on current humanitarian crisis on Martha's Vineyard... we thank people for their continued help," the island's
Chamber of Commerce tweeted Thursday. A statement from the Dukes County Emergency Management Association included
in the tweet said the island is providing "shelter, food, and care" to the illegal immigrants who arrived yesterday and
that "a coalition of Vineyard towns, community-based, and nonprofit groups are assisting in this effort."
Wealthy
Martha's Vineyard residents face pressure to welcome migrants into their multi-million dollar homes.
Conservatives have joked that Martha's Vineyard residents will be tearing down woke yard signs proclaiming that refugees
and migrants are welcome after Ron DeSantis flew 50 of them to the wealthy island. Right-wing commenters believe
many residents of the ritzy enclave will be tearing down the popular signs for fear of being asked to put their money
where their mouths are, and take in some of the mainly-Venezuelan incomers. 'Whole lotta Martha's Vineyard
residents about to take down the 'all are welcome here' lawn signs sitting in front of their mansions,' joked Andrew
Wagner, a GOP operative in Minnesota, in a tweet.

From Martha's Vineyard Hold Emergency Meeting Following Arrival of an Estimated 50 Illegal Immigrants.
According to The Boston Globe, officials in Martha's Vineyard are holding an emergency meeting to deal with the crisis
of 43 illegal alien arrivals, including one four-year-old child. The group arrived via a chartered flight
dispatched by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. According to state representative Dylan Fernandes, "when you look at
the limited housing options on Martha's Vineyard, as I'm sure many of the folks here are aware, it's likely we're going
to need an off island location." As noted by the Globe ..."a Zoom meeting has been scheduled for emergency
management officials from the island along with people from the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency to discuss the
next step for the immigrants."
Martha's

Vineyard has been thrown into chaos by the arrival of two planeloads of migrants sent there by Florida Gov. Ron
DeSantis, according to local reports. Roughly 50 migrants were flown to the famed Massachusetts island —
constituting what the local tourism board called a "humanitarian crisis" Thursday. "This is an ongoing situation,"
wrote a county emergency-management rep in a statement, noting that local authorities "are actively collaborating to
develop a coordinated regional response.["] "We have reached out to our State and Federal partners for additional

happy about their new poor, brown neighbors. Martha's Vineyard happily hosts thousands of tourists every summer,
however when 50 poor illegals are dumped on the island it is a "humanitarian crisis."
Gavin
Newsom asks DOJ to consider 'kidnapping' charges after GOP governors ship migrants out of state.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has asked the Department of Justice to look into whether sending migrants to other
parts of the country constituted kidnapping or other federal crimes. In a letter to Attorney General Merrick
Garland, Newsom asked whether actions by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sending illegal
immigrants from their respective states to destinations such as New York City, Washington, D.C.[,] Chicago, and Martha's
Vineyard were illegal. "Several of the individuals who were transported to Martha's Vineyard have alleged that a
recruiter induced them to accept the offer of travel based on false representations that they would be transported to
Boston and would receive expedited access to work authorization," Newsom wrote. "I urge US DOJ to investigate whether
the alleged fraudulent inducement would support charges of kidnapping under relevant state laws."
El
Paso Mayor Buses Migrants to NYC to Relieve Overwhelmed Detention Facilities. The surge of migrants moving
west to the El Paso Border Patrol Sector led to the apprehension of approximately 30,000 in August, a source within U.S.
Customs and Border Protection says. The trend overwhelmed the sector's detention capacity, forcing agents to carry
out street releases. Agents in the El Paso Sector jumped into the number two spot with the apprehension of just
under 30,000 migrants, Breitbart Texas reported. This is up from approximately 25,000 apprehended in July.
With one month to go in the fiscal year, agents in the El Paso Sector apprehended nearly 260,000 migrants.

Multiple migrants, asked by Fox News Digital, said they think the border is open, contrary to what Harris said Sunday
during an interview.
Illinois
mayor demands an apology from the governor for sending illegal migrants without notice. Mayor Craig
Johnson of Elk Grove Village, Illinois wants an apology from Governor Pritzker for bussing 90 illegal migrants to the
Chicago suburb on very little notice or advance planning. Chicago, a sanctuary city, has received buses from Texas
and Arizona to ease the Biden border crisis. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is having a meltdown over the buses
arriving in Chicago. Her city is the nation's third largest and yet she acts as though a small number of new
arrivals to Chicago will be too much of a burden for city resources. She sent 64 illegal migrants to Burr Ridge,
Illinois last week after a bus filled with 147 migrants arrived in Chicago. Now a second suburb has received
illegal migrants and the mayor said enough is enough. Ninety illegal migrants were bussed to a motel in Elk Grove
Village. Mayor Johnson received about an hour's notice of the arrival and no other information.

[...] Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) reacted to Vice President Kamala Harris maintaining the border is secure by pointing
out that back in June 2014, then-President Barack Obama said there was a "humanitarian crisis" on the border when there
were approximately 2,000 apprehensions per day on the southwest border, compared to the between 6,000 and 7,000
encounters per day at the border over the past two months. Johnson said, "[T]he governors in the southwestern
states there are dealing with about 7,000 people per day that they're encountering, and because of the Biden
administration's open-border policy, processing and dispersing all around this country."
Census:
Biden Grows Foreign-Born Population to Highest Level Ever. Under President Joe Biden, the foreign-born
population of the United States has grown to its highest level ever recorded, the U.S. Census Bureau reports. Over
the last year, the Biden administration added two million new foreign-born residents to the U.S. population —
illegal aliens and legal immigrants on green cards and visas — serving as a boon for Biden's billionaire
donors in the financial industry who are some of the biggest beneficiaries of mass immigration and an ever-growing populace.
El Paso looks like
a 'third-world country' after Texas border city is overrun by migrants. Shocking photos show President
Biden's border crisis has hit a new peak in El Paso, Texas — where a historic flood of migrants has turned
the city into what a local pol says resembles "a third-world country." Regional Border Patrol Chief Gloria Chavez
posted snapshots Monday night on Instagram that showed hordes of migrants dumped under an El Paso bridge over the
weekend because the city has no more room to even process them. "We've never seen anything like this," said outraged
US Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas), whose district covers part of the city, as El Paso began grappling with its
highest daily influx ever last month. "It's a scene that you would see in a third-world country, not in the streets
of El Paso." Gonzalez warned, "Everything that I've been told and every indication tells me that we haven't seen
the worst yet.
Official
greeter for illegals. New York City Mayor Eric Adams must be a weird dude. He [gripes] about the
illegal immigrants Texas Governor Greg Abbott buses up to his sanctuary city and dispatches an official greeter to
welcome them. He's funny that way. Perhaps he illustrates the contradictions inherent in making the
Democrats' platform of national suicide real. I wondered about that official greeter. Why haven't we heard
more about him? He walks the Democrats' walk, shall we say. According to CNN's Ray Sanchez, his name is
Manuel Castro. Appointed by Adams, Castro is Commissioner of the NYC Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs.
The city has posted his biography [elsew]here. Sanchez is vague on Castro's status. It states: "Castro
himself crossed the US-Mexico border with his mother when he was 5." [...] The notion of illegality does not cross
Sanchez's keyboard. The illegal aliens are of course "undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers." They are
the heroes of Sanchez's story.
Joe
Biden Asks Congress for $ Billions More to Fund His Catch-and-Release Network. The White House is asking
Congress for another $5 billion to bus, fly, and house the southern flood of economic migrants into Americans'
workplaces and housing. Any additional funding will accelerate the federal "cheap labor distribution [network]
that too many politicians in Washington are willing to participate in," said John Feere, a former homeland security
official. He now works for the Center for Immigration Studies. The inflow of workers, renters, and consumers
"benefits groups on both sides of the border — governments, human smuggling operations, and businesses," he
told Breitbart News.
Migrants
bussed to sanctuary city Chicago are promptly shipped off to suburbs. A group of over 100 migrants from
the southern border were moved to an Illinois suburb after being welcomed in Chicago — an action that is
reportedly frustrating local officials. The migrants are staying at a Hampton Inn in Burr Ridge and a Holiday Inn
in Countryside, according to reporting by WGN-TV. An estimated 300 migrants have been bused from Texas to Chicago in the
past two weeks. While Chicago is a sanctuary city and Cook County is a sanctuary county, the migrants at the Burr
Ridge Hampton Inn are in DuPage County. The county's sanctuary status is unclear. However, Burr Ridge
Republican Mayor Garry Grasso previously said he would work to secure the border and "defund sanctuary cities,"
according to WGN-TV.
52,000
Migrants Crossed One Texas Border Sector in August. Agents apprehended more than 52,000 migrants who
illegally crossed the Mexican border into the Texas-based Del Rio Sector in August, according to a source within U.S.
Customs and Border Protection. This is an increase over the record-setting number of apprehensions set in July in
what has become the nation's busiest Border Patrol sector. A source operating under the umbrella of CBP told
Breitbart Texas that agents in the Del Rio Sector apprehended nearly 1,700 migrants per day in August. This raised
the number of migrants apprehended in the sector from 50,000 in July to more than 52,000 in August — an
increase of four percent.
Feds
Annually Outsource over Half a Million American Jobs to Foreign Visa Workers. The number of American jobs
outsourced to foreign visa workers each year has exploded in recent decades to more than half a million, federal data
suggests. The Immigration Act of 1990, signed by then-President George H.W. Bush, greatly expanded the number of
visa programs and created today's business model where employers import foreign visa workers in droves to take American
jobs in blue-collar and white-collar industries. Federal data from the State Department shows that in 2021, almost
550,000 foreign visa workers were allowed to enter the United States labor market to take American jobs. Most of
those half a million foreign visa workers, almost 470,000, arrived on the H1-B, H-4, H2-A, and H2-B visas.
The
origins of illegal migrants are shifting rapidly. Traditionally, we've tended to think
of the problem of illegal immigration across America's southern border as consisting almost
entirely of migrants (including drug-runners and coyotes) from Mexico and the Northern Triangle
nations of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. And to be sure, those four nations still
account for many illegal aliens arriving in our country. But there's been a decided shift in
the migrants' points of origin since Joe Biden took over and implemented his open border
policies. According to recent statistics released by Customs and Border Protection, people
falling into the fourth "other" category, representing all of the rest of the countries in the
world, now outnumber those coming from those four countries. Many are still Hispanic migrants
from further off in South America, but we're increasingly seeing more from Europe and Africa as well.
Gates
Left Open to Prevent Flooding Highlight Breaches, Weaknesses In Arizona's Wall With Mexico. The Chevy
pickup truck growled like a wary pitbull as it crept along the narrow dirt road parallel to Arizona's southern border
wall fence with Mexico. Sam, the owner of a private Arizona security firm, stopped the truck and put the gear
in park. "We're on the Roosevelt Easement right now," he says bluntly. "The federal government owns this entire
road." Something, though, was glaringly out of place on Aug. 24. Three massive irrigation gates built into
the steel border wall fence were open for anyone to walk through.
6 Ways Democrats
Are 'Threatening Democracy'. [#6] Forfeiture Of Border Sovereignty: Since day one,
Biden sought to undermine the security of the U.S. Southern border by halting wall construction,
removing protections such as the Migrant Protection Protocols (also known as the Remain in Mexico
program), and explicitly scaling back ICE arrests and deportations. As a result, record
numbers of illegal migrants and illicit drugs are flowing across the U.S. border with little to no
scrutiny or consequence. Politicians and voters, both red and blue, have warned against the
dangers and strain of an unregulated flow of illegal migrants into the nation's cities.
Despite these concerns, the Biden administration and border czar Kamala Harris are silent, only
stepping in or piping up when they want to remove protective measures such as Title 42 or spread
lies about Border Patrol agents whipping migrants. Democrats in Congress have also gone out
of their way to reject legislation designed to curb the crisis.
FEMA
to Cover El Paso Costs of Busing Illegal Immigrants to New York, Official Says. The
Biden administration will reimburse El Paso city, which is following the lead of other border
cities in Texas and Arizona to transport illegal immigrants to New York on buses, according to a
city official. El Paso officials this week sent 35 Venezuelans to New York City on chartered
buses as they moved to address the growing number of illegal immigrants arriving via the U.S.
southern border from South America, local media reported. The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has said it will reimburse local governments and NGOs for the cost of aiding and
transporting the illegal aliens, according to Mario D'Agostino, the deputy city manager of El Paso.
"OEM has sponsored and provided transportation services for migrants out of El Paso, which is
reimbursable through FEMA," D'Agostino said in a statement obtained by El Paso Matters, referring
to the city's Office of Emergency Management.
What
if Your Attorney Is an Illegal Alien? There are currently eight states where illegal
aliens can practice law (CA, CT, FL, IL, NE, NJ, NY, and WY). Joining this dubious list on
October 1 will be New Mexico. There are federal civil and criminal penalties for knowingly
employing an illegal alien. Here is the statute. 8 USC 1324 (a)(4) provides
for civil penalties and section (f) for criminal penalties. So the Supreme Courts of these states
are actively aiding and abetting the commission of a federal crime. Let this sink in. The
Supreme Courts of nine states know that it is against the law for an illegal alien to be present in
and work in the United States, but they are saying, "We don't care." So much for the rule of
law in general and the Supremacy Clause in particular.
The Biden Admin
Is Paying To Bus Illegal Migrants To New York City. The federal government is paying
to bus illegal migrants from one border town to New York City, a Texas official told the Daily
Caller News Foundation. The city government of El Paso, Texas, is busing illegal migrants to
the Big Apple on the dime of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Deputy City Manager
Mario D'Agostino told the DCNF Monday. The federal agency covers the travel costs of illegal
migrants through a grant program. "The travel costs for migrants are covered through FEMA's
emergency food and shelter grant. The City/OEM submits for reimbursement on a quarterly basis
as the process dictates," D'Agostino told the DCNF. "With the goal to provide for the safety
of the migrants from the elements and to preserve the community's transitory hospitality shelter
capacities so they may continue to serve our homeless community, OEM [Office of Emergency
Management] has sponsored and provided transportation services for migrants out of El Paso, which
is reimbursable through FEMA," he said.
The
True Cost of Student Loans. In 1987 Ronald Reagan agreed to an amnesty for illegal
immigrants. At the time it was a deal that would see current illegal migrants given amnesty
in exchange for more border security. The border security was never delivered but the amnesty
part was, naturally. There were as many as 11 million illegal migrants in the U.S. at the
time of the amnesty, and at least three million were legalized under the exact terms of the
amnesty. This amnesty did nothing but incentivize further illegal immigration. The
precedent had now been set that the U.S. was in the habit of forgiving illegal immigration.
All you had to do was sneak into the U.S., sit tight, and wait for the next amnesty.
The Editor says...
Hmmm. This article says there were 11 million illegal aliens in the U.S. in 1987, and that's
the same estimate routinely given by the news media 35 years later.
4.9
Million Illegal Aliens Blew Past the US Border in the 18 Months Since Biden was Installed in
Office. In a report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform that was
released on August 16, 2022, close to 5 million illegal alien invaders have crossed the United
States borders in the 18 months since President Joe Biden was installed in office. In sum,
4.9 million illegal aliens have entered the US by the end of July. Rita Li of The Epoch Times
noted that this number includes 900,000 "gotaways" who escaped apprehension and have scurried into
the American interior. "Roughly the equivalent of the entire population of Ireland has illegally
entered the United States in the 18 months President Biden has been in office, with many being
released into American communities," FAIR President Dan Stein observed in the statement.
Democrat-Linked
Group Claims 96,000 Extra Immigrant Voters in Georgia. A Democrat-backed group claims
to have naturalized almost 100,000 legal immigrants in Georgia before the November elections.
"Over 96,000 newly naturalized Americans in the state, who naturalized between 2016 and 2020, could
significantly influence the outcome of the 2022 midterm elections,' said the press statement by
National Partnership for New Americans (NPNA), the SEIU union, and various Georgia-based,
pro-migration groups. [...] The naturalization includes many Indians, who are one of the most
pro-diversity, pro-Democratic immigrant blocs. "The number of newly naturalized citizens originally
from India, 11,188, is nearly equal to the margin of victory during the November 2020 presidential
election," the statement said. Georgia used to be a solidly red state. However, the growing
number of legal and illegal migrants recruited by businesses has allowed the Democrats to gain state
seats and to win a national Senate majority in 2021 when Georgians elected two Democrat Senators.
NYC
[is] now using 14 hotels to house migrants amid ongoing surge: officials. The ongoing
surge of migrants to the Big Apple has forced the city to strike emergency deals with 14 hotels
because the shelter system is overloaded amid President Biden's border crisis. Immigrant
Affairs Commissioner Manuel Castro revealed the eye-popping total during a news conference at the
Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan, where five buses arrived Thursday carrying migrants
relocated by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott — matching Wednesday's record number of
buses. City Hall pressed the 14th hotel into service on Thursday, up from 11 about two weeks
ago, an official familiar with the matter told The [New York] Post. In another stunning
acknowledgment of the city's inability to deal with the situation, Castro said Mayor Eric Adams and
Gov. Kathy Hochul have appealed to officials in other states for help housing migrants.
Out of
Outrage. [Scroll down] This might be enough to spark outrage, if there weren't
instances of the illegal aliens flooding NY and DC now via buses from Texas, but getting welcomed
there like returning heroes. At the same time, the Mayors of NY and DC complain about the bus
loads of them being delivered. Which is it? Oh, that's right, they're communists with
cover being run by law enforcement, the FBI, the media and, in some instances, the church, so they
don't get held to account for their hypocrisy or blatant criminality.
Note to Mayor Adams: Texas has lots of buses, and at least a million illegal aliens. 5
more migrant buses from Texas arrive in NYC as Abbott calls out Adams' 'hypocrisy'.
Five more buses arrived in New York City from Texas on Wednesday, the most buses in one day to
reach the Big Apple. The new buses are only the latest to make the trip — Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott has sent more than 1,000 migrants to New York since Aug. 5, his office has
said. Abbott began sending migrants out of his state to liberal cities like New York and
Washington, D.C., thousands of miles from the U.S.-Mexico border, as a way to bring attention to
the migrant crisis affecting his state.
GOP
House members demand Mayorkas answer why he's allowing illegals to use warrants as ID on
planes. Two dozen House Republicans are demanding answers over what they call an
"extremely troubling" TSA policy on allowing illegal immigrants to board planes using arrest
warrants and related documents as identification. On Monday, the group of GOP lawmakers led
by Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona wrote a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas requesting an explanation about why the illegal aliens have been permitted to
use civil immigration arrest warrants and deportation orders as identifying documents despite their
not being included on the list of acceptable forms of ID put out by the Transportation Security
Administration. The letter starts off by scorching President Biden's top immigration
enforcement official for his ongoing failures: "Under your leadership the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) is failing to take the steps necessary to achieve and maintain operational control
of our borders. Instead of securing our borders, your department is facilitating the release
of illegal aliens into the country. Your catch and release policies have made our country
less secure and are encouraging illegal aliens to cross our borders."
Pentagon
Denies DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's second plea for the National Guard to deal with huge influx of
migrants. The Pentagon has denied a second request by Washington DC's mayor to help
receive migrants arriving from Republican-led states Texas and Arizona. Mayor Muriel Bowser
in July called for the deployment of the District of Columbia National Guard to help with migrants
describing it as a 'humanitarian crisis'. Bowser asked for 90-day deployment and for a review
at the end of that period, but the request was denied by the U.S. military.
NYC
could spend $300M annually to house migrants in hotels: analysis. The Big Apple could
be on the hook for more than $300 million per year to provide shelter space in hotels for newly
arrived migrants, a [New York] Post analysis shows. City officials have either rented or
announced plans to secure roughly 5,800 hotel rooms over the last month in response to the influx
from the southern border, which quickly overwhelmed the already-strained homeless shelter
system. One of the largest operations is planned for the ROW NYC hotel on 8th Avenue in
Midtown, where officials are looking to rent as many as 600 rooms and provide intake and other
services for the recent arrivals.
The Editor says...
It sounds like the New York City government is doing everything it can to attract more immigrants.
Or do they think nobody outside of the U.S. will find out about the luxury hotels?
Border
Crossers Awarded Healthcare, Free Cellphones Upon Arrival in NYC. Border crossers
arriving in New York City on migrant buses sent from Texas by Gov. Greg Abbott (R) are being
awarded healthcare services as well as free cellphones, among other things. On Sunday, as the
New York Post reports, the city's hospital system held an event for arriving border crossers at a
hospital in the Bronx where they were offered healthcare services along with free cellphones, food,
library cards, and school supplies. The event comes as Mayor Eric Adams (D) estimates that,
in the last few weeks, Abbott has bused more than 4,000 border crossers to New York City as part of
his plan to alleviate waves of illegal immigration to Texas by transporting new arrivals to
sanctuary cities run by Democrats.
The
Border Goes North, and Blue City Mayors Melt Down. The border has come to northern,
blue cities — and Democrats aren't handling it well. July's border numbers are in,
and the Biden administration again has set an all-time record for unlawful crossings, surpassing
2021's historic numbers. Most legacy and corporate media dodged this historic crisis, which
began almost immediately under President Joe Biden's watch. It's typically easy for the Acela
corridor simply to ignore the plight of border states. But red state governors, namely Greg
Abbott of Texas and Doug Ducey of Arizona, have changed the dynamic by busing some of the countless
border crossers directly to Washington, D.C., and New York City. Now, the big, blue city
mayors are having a fit and accusing Republicans of causing the mess.
A little taste of Laredo: Hundreds
of migrants line up at NYC hospital for healthcare, food, free phones. Hundreds of
migrants — at least some bussed to the Big Apple by Texas Gov. Greg
Abbott — lined up outside Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx on Sunday to get health care
coverage, food and other items including school supplies and free phones. The event,
organized by the city hospital system, was billed as a "resource and family fun day" for the
migrants and their children, many of whom have come to New York City in droves in recent weeks.
"I came to New York about three days ago. I am a welder, and I am looking for work here,"
Venezuelan refugee Adrian Medina, 32, said through a translator.
The Editor says...
Well, Adrian, there must be plenty of welding jobs in Mexico City, which you probably passed through recently.
Most illegal immigrants
do not qualify for US asylum. The arrival of busloads of migrants into New York City has raised questions about
the administration's border policies. Here are the facts about our increasingly dysfunctional immigration system: Under
US law, most migrants coming here without permission must be expelled. The only exceptions are migrants fleeing torture
or racial, religious, ethnic, political or social-group persecution. "Economic refugee" is a contradiction, and
"seeking a better life" means nothing if a migrant lacks permission to enter.
Biden's
actions tell the truth: He's gone full open borders. The latest release of data from
Customs and Border Patrol shows nearly 1.81 million arrests of illegal migrants at the southern
border through July. That's more than for all of last year — itself a grim record
at 1.66 million — with months left in 2022; the year is well on pace to break the
2 million mark. And most of those "arrested" are soon let loose inside the country, even though
only 5% or so actually claim asylum. The share who get sent back plummeted as soon as Biden
took office and has continued to drop. The administration has apparently given up on even
mouthing "don't come," and its actions send the opposite message anyway.
Americans
are figuring out that they are being invaded. NPR/Ipsos released a poll last week
addressing American views on immigration. The bottom line is that more than half of Americans
believe that there is an invasion taking place at our southern border and that it's bringing in
lots of deadly, illegal drugs. They're probably thinking this because we're on track to have
more than 2 million totally unvetted illegal immigrants in this country just in 2022 because we're
hearing about massive drug busts, because cartels are optimizing this human drag, because lots of
people are overdosing, and because Greg Abbott's clever plan of shipping immigrants to D.C. and New
York City is working. But to NPR and Ipsos, all these Americans are victims of misinformation.
Nearly
5 Million Illegal Immigrants [have] Crossed [the] Border [so far] During [the] Biden
Administration. A whopping 4.9 million illegal immigrants have crossed our border
since Biden has taken office, a report from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR)
found. The president of FAIR Dan Stein discussed the report, stating that "Roughly the equivalent
of the entire population of Ireland has illegally entered the United States in the 18 months
President Biden has been in office, with many being released into American communities."
2,200
border crossers in one day: Shocking footage of Rio Grande. Video from the border shows at least 700
migrants crossing into the U.S. from Mexico in the span of one day at just one border crossing in Eagle Pass, Texas. It
comes as Representative Tony Gonzales, a Republican from Texas, revealed that Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei
offered to provide assistance to President Joe Biden at the southern border crisis if he were to ask for help. Fox
News' Bill Melugin posted a series of videos to Twitter on Sunday showing mass amounts of migrants crossing illegally and
being apprehended by authorities at Texas' southern border.
Unsustainable: NYC moving
migrants into famed luxury Times Square hotel. Mayor Eric Adams plans to convert the Row NYC —
formerly known as the Milford Plaza and located in pricey, tourist-packed Times Square — into an intake center and
shelter for as many as 600 migrant families amid the city's spiraling homelessness crisis, three sources familiar with the
matter said. "In a month or two, we're about to open up for [the city Department of Homeless Services], for homeless,"
a hotel staffer told The Post on Monday [8/15/2022]. "They're working on an agreement, a contract," the worker said of
the plan, which is designed to help handle homeless border-crossers bused to the city from Texas. "It'll be here at
this hotel, but they'll keep the DHS shelter on a certain floor. But that hasn't started yet, they said a month or
two." City Hall hasn't said what the hotel plan will cost or provided any other details about it, including who exactly
will run the operation.
Migrants
bussed in from Texas will be housed in $400-a-night luxury NYC hotel. A luxury hotel in the center of Manhattan
is set to become a hub for housing asylum-seeking migrants who have been bussed in from Texas. The Row, which is based
near tourist-packed Times Square, will become a shelter for as many as 600 migrant families in news that first reported by
the New York Post. Sources claim that they are going to place families and single people who have traveled from Texas
after Gov George Abbott unveiled his plan to start transporting people from his southern state.
Migrants
on Texas-to-NYC bus threaten to call cops when driver refuses to stop in Tennessee. Immigrants on a Texas bus bound for
the Big Apple — which was supposed to go to several cities along the way to let passengers off — threatened
to call cops when the driver said they wouldn't be stopping in Tennessee, The [New York] Post has learned. The charter bus
is part of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's border initiative. The Post was in Del Rio, Texas, Friday morning [8/12/2022] as
immigrants boarded the bus which was supposed to stop in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Washington, D.C., before arriving at
its final destination in New York City. About 40 immigrants, a majority of the passengers, were supposed to get off in
Chattanooga, they said. By early Saturday, the bus driver told the asylum-seekers they would not be stopping in Chattanooga.
The Editor says...
[#1] Something is a little fishy about this story. If the passengers are on a charter bus, the destination should be well known
to all passengers. Getting off the bus halfway to the destination is highly irregular, especially if the passengers are illegal
aliens who are about to disappear and change their names before signing up for public housing and food stamps. [#2] Here's
a handy tip: When you enter the country illegally, don't make trouble, and don't call the cops for any reason.
If
Texas Border Towns Can Handle a Surge of Illegal Aliens, Why Can't New York City? The mayor of McAllen, Texas,
is bewildered. Javier Villalobos is on the front lines of Joe Biden's border crisis and McAllen, along with other small
and medium-sized Texas cities, has been overwhelmed with illegal aliens looking to get into the United States.
Villalobos has been following the story of a few thousand illegals being bused north to New York City and Washington, D.C.,
and the reaction from Democratic politicians in those cities. He can't understand what their complaints are all
about. "You see New York, you see Washington kind of drowning with a few buses," Villalobos told Fox News. "We
used to get over a thousand-something people a day."
Another
migrant bus arrives in NYC from Texas with 89 people on board, including five children. A father traveled for
over a month from Venezuela to Texas before boarding the bus to New York today with 89 other immigrants, including a family
with a child as young as one. Alexander Hernandez, 51, traveled for more than a month to get to the border in Texas to
get into the US. He is one of several migrants on the bus today which arrived at Port Authority early on Friday morning
as part of an ongoing political battle between New York Mayor Eric Adams and Texas Governor Greg Abbott. [...] Some migrants
on the bus were separated from their families before the trip and weren't aware they were headed to New York when they
boarded the bus, including a man separated from his pregnant wife and children.
From
'Remain in Mexico' to 'Remain wherever'. The Biden Administration has finally pulled the plug on "Remain in
Mexico": [...] "Remain in Mexico" worked. In fact, it worked so well that then candidate VP Biden promised to end
it. It was VP Biden pandering to the immigration activists and hoping that he'd never get elected and have to terminate
the successful program. It was also the Democrats pandering to Hispanics but not realizing that open borders is not
what they want in South Texas. Last, but not least, the absence of "Remain in Mexico" will overwhelm the Border Patrol
agents trying to do their jobs.
The
Biden Administration Is Accelerating The Illegal Border Invasion. Following months of Biden administration
shuttle diplomacy, multi-national U.S.-bound immigrants from more than 150 countries are now finding international routes to
the southern border faster, easier, and less obstructed than ever before. Panama has dramatically shortened the
notorious Darien Gap route from South America for the first time. Mexico has amended a years-old policy of using a
national guard road blockade to slow U.S.-bound immigrants on its Guatemala border for one that now immediately hands out
fast-pass visas straight to the American border. Taken altogether, the new relative ease, safety, and swiftness of
global journeys to the U.S. southern border should induce even greater numbers of foreign nationals to try the journey,
especially those border-crossing nationalities the administration is currently allowing to remain. The number of
foreign nationals not from Mexico or Central America is at the highest level in American history, amid illegal migration
already at record-breaking levels overall.
Greg
Abbott tears into 'hypocrite' Mayor Adams for being 'upset about welcoming a few dozen migrants into to NYC'.
Greg Abbott's office tore into Eric Adams after the New York City mayor called the influx of illegal immigrants being bused
to the Big Apple 'horrific'. 'Mayor Adams is hypocritically upset about welcoming a few dozen into his sanctuary city,'
the Texas GOP governor's Press Secretary Renae Eze said in reaction to the comments made by the mayor over the weekend.
She explained in the statement: 'These migrants willingly chose to go to New York City, having signed a voluntary consent
waiver, available in multiple languages, upon boarding that they agreed to the destination.'
NPR
blasts GOP governors for busing illegal immigrants to DC 'with no plan for what's next'. NPR became the latest
mainstream outlet to attack Republican governors for the growing migrant crisis in liberal cities. On Friday, NPR
promoted their coverage of New York City and Washington, D.C., struggling to handle increasing numbers of illegal immigrants
being dropped off in their cities by Govs. Greg Abbott of Texas and Doug Ducey of Arizona. The title of their article read
"GOP governors sent buses of migrants to D.C. and NYC — with no plan for what's next." "Texas and Arizona governors
continue to send buses full of migrants and refugees to Washington, D.C.'s Union Station, just a few blocks from the Capitol
building. Upon arrival no government officials are there to meet them," NPR's Twitter account wrote.
The Editor says...
[#1] "What's next" is now DC's problem. It is a problem that originated in DC and is now manifesting there.
[#2] "What's next" is something the illegal aliens themselves should have thought about before entering this country as
public parasites. [#3] The concept of "sanctuary cities" was concocted by Democrats. The purpose is to
welcome illegal aliens and guarantee they won't be deported. Why are they upset when someone accepts their offer?
Pentagon
Chief Rejects DC Mayor Bowser's Request For National Guard Troops to Help with Influx of Illegal Aliens Being Bused in From
Texas. The Pentagon on Friday rejected DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's request for National Guard troops to help with
the influx of illegal aliens being bused in from Texas. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin rejected Bowser's request,
saying that it would hurt troop readiness, Reuters reported. [Tweet] Bowser last Thursday requested the activation of
the National Guard to help deal with the influx of illegal aliens being bused into Washington, DC. More than 4,000
illegal aliens have been bused into DC since mid-April.
NY
Times Blames GOP Governors for 'Causing Havoc' by Busing Border Crossers to Democrat Sanctuary Cities. The
New York Times is blaming Republican governors for "causing havoc" by busing border crossers welcomed by the Biden
administration to Democrat sanctuary cities. As Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R)
continue busing border crossers and illegal aliens to Democrat sanctuary cities, the Times published a piece titled "GOP
Governors Cause Havoc by Busing Migrants to East Coast" where Republicans are seemingly blamed for President Joe Biden's
expansive Catch and Release operation.
Gov.
Abbott's idea to bus illegal migrants from Texas to NYC and DC is getting their attention. Back in April,
Texas's Republican governor, Greg Abbott, pledged to bus migrants who had entered Texas illegally to Washington, D.C. on a
voluntary basis. It was laughed at in the press and among Democrats as a "publicity stunt" at the time. But the
governor was dead serious, and kept that promise. Leadership is contagious, and Abbott was soon joined by Arizona's
Gov. Douglas Ducey. For months, the states of Texas and Arizona have been sending charter buses of illegal border
crossers being let in by Joe Biden's open borders policy to Washington, D.C.'s Union Station, near the Capitol building and
now to New York City, led by Mayor Eric Adams, who loudly proclaims his city a sanctuary city, with laws on the books saying
the city is required to provide housing to all comers. Abbott's office says that over 6,100 migrants have been bussed
to D.C. so far. Abbott expanded his operation by transporting migrants to the Big Apple, which he said like Washington,
D.C. is an "ideal destination" due to the city's generous treatment of homeless people.
Democrats
suddenly realize open borders are a disaster. Republican border-state governors are sending busloads of illegal
entrants — released in their states by the Department of Homeland Security — to DC and New York City,
prompting recriminations and pleas for federal cash from the Democratic mayors of those erstwhile immigrant-friendly
cities. Those mayors, seemingly unwittingly, are making the governors' point — that the administration has
created a disaster at the US-Mexico line, requiring an immediate policy shift to protect lives and state and local
finances. It started in April. Fed up with federal releases of large numbers of migrants into overwhelmed small
towns in his state (including Uvalde), Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) began offering migrants free bus trips to DC to shift
some of the burden to Washington.
First
Texas bus of 50 mostly male illegal migrants arrives in NYC: Gov. Abbott says Big Apple is the 'ideal
destination'. The first bus of migrants sent from Texas by Governor Greg Abbott arrived in New York City on
Friday morning. The group was dropped off at Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan after making the almost
2,000-mile trip from the border that lasted days. A group of charity workers and volunteers greeted the roughly
50 migrants, who were mostly men, before they ventured into the city for hotels or shelters. One of the arrivals[,]
Jose Rodriguez, 38, told DailyMail.com he chose New York because it has the 'best opportunities' of the options he was given
when he crossed the border.
Excusing
Illegal Immigration Comes Back to Bite Mayors of DC, NYC. As busloads of illegal immigrants sent by border
states Texas and Arizona make their way to the nation's capital, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is feeling overrun. Bowser on
July 28 formally requested deployment of the National Guard to deal with the influx of illegal migrants as she claimed her
city, the nation's capital, was at a "tipping point." "This is a very significant issue," Bowser acknowledged in
mid-July in a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. "Our collective response and service efforts have now become
overwhelmed." The call for help comes after Bowser and other Democratic politicians initially downplayed the massive
wave of illegal immigrants flooding across the nation's southern border and had done everything in their power to exacerbate
the crisis.
Judge
Strikes Down San Francisco Law Allowing Illegal Aliens to Vote. A San Francisco, California, law that allowed
illegal aliens and other foreign nationals to vote in some local elections was struck down in court late last week. On
July 29, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Richard Ulmer overturned the city's ordinance that was first passed in 2016,
which allowed foreign nationals — including illegal aliens — to vote in citywide school board elections
so long as they are the parent of a school-aged child and are not incarcerated or out on parole. By 2018, as Breitbart
News reported, the city had spent almost $400,000 to register a total of 61 foreign nationals to vote in the school board elections.
Los
Angeles opens up county government jobs to 'non-citizens'. At a time of rising unemployment and flight from
one-party blue cities, what should Los Angeles come up with but a new plan to hire foreigners in county government posts?
[...] This may well mean that illegal aliens will soon become the County of Los Angeles's ruling government. Sure, the
Times says illegals are excluded, but that's window dressing. Anyone with DACA status would likely be included in the
hireables list, as would anyone who's managed to cadge asylum from a pliant immigration judge or newly minted "asylum
officer," as will any of the millions who have seen their charges dropped by the Department of Homeland Security and who are
now free to roam the country.
Open
Borders Activists Balk at Red States Busing Illegal Aliens to Blue States. Open borders activists are balking
at red states taking immigration enforcement into their own hands by busing border crossers and illegal aliens to blue states
and cities like New York and Washington, DC. In April, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) announced that state officials
would begin chartering buses to transport border crossers and illegal aliens to Washington, DC, and other cities.
Catch-and-release
for all: Biden now seeks online asylum applications from anywhere in the world. As if anyone needed more
proof that the humanitarian disaster at the border is intentional and planned by the Bidenites, take a look at how they're
trying to expand the right to claim asylum here from anywhere in the world. [...] That's right, as if the border surge didn't
serve as sufficient warning to them about the foolishness of taking all comers who claim asylum, the Bidenites are now
planning to make it even easier to claim asylum, opening up an online system for anyone, anywhere, to get into the U.S. by
filing from abroad and flying on in.
Biden
online asylum system an 'open invitation for Chinese spies' to enter US, key senator warns. Oklahoma Republican
Sen. James Lankford, who recently visited the U.S.-Mexico border, is warning that President Joe Biden's online asylum
system is an "open invitation for Chinese spies" and all of Yemen to enter the U.S. Under the emerging plans, asylum
seekers "can just say, 'I have credible fear,' fly into the country, be here for eight years while they await their hearing,"
Lankford told Just the News after speaking at the America First Summit last week. "This is an open invitation for
Chinese spies to be able to come into the country. It's an open invitation for everyone to come from Yemen, to say it's
a war-torn country. "Immigration is not designed to be just open to anyone who wants to come. Asylum is the same
definition as refugee. If you're a refugee, you go to the next safest country, andthcoming you go there. They're
turning this on its head, saying if anyone wants to come to America for any reason, just come here, and we'll just take you
from everywhere. That's not what we're designed to be able to do."
No
Sovereignty Without Border Security. There are three very clear, very distinct and incontrovertible truths in
America when it comes to immigration and border control. They are truths that we should not marginalize or forget, but
that we should keep at the top of mind moving forward. The first truth is that America is a country of immigrants.
[...] The second truth is that America is a country that now — due to a devastating combination of ill-conceived
policy and reckless messaging — is reeling from a border security crisis of unconscionable heights. It is a
real crisis with daily ramifications that is imperiling the lives and livelihoods of American citizens across the
country. It is causing the exploitation of the desperate and vulnerable and filling the coffers of brutal criminals and
thugs. And the third truth — related to the first and second — is that no country has real
sovereignty without borders.
The Editor says...
This country was founded by immigrants, but to say that "America is a country of
immigrants" ignores those of us who were born here and didn't immigrate from anywhere.
As long as the problem was in Texas, she didn't care. But now... DC
Mayor Muriel Bowser requests National Guard help after busloads of migrants cause 'crisis'. Washington DC Mayor
Muriel Bowser has requested the National Guard step in to help handle the arrival of thousands of migrants from the US-Mexico
border, saying the nation's capital has reached a "tipping point." In a July 19 request for assistance to Defense
Secretary Lloyd Austin, Bowser reported that "over 4,000 individuals arriving on nearly 200 buses" have come to DC since
April, when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey pledged to put migrants on charter buses to protest
the Biden administration's immigration policies. "Our collective response and service efforts have now become
overwhelmed," Bowser wrote.
Diversity-Loving
Washington DC Mayor Calls For Drastic Measure To Deal With Illegal Immigrants. Governors in states along our
southern border have been vocal in their concerns regarding illegal immigration for years. Their school and health care
systems can't handle the additional workload, they explained. The financial burden placed on their taxpayers was
excessive and unfair, they shouted. And the fact that such migrants were entering their states unvetted posed a serious
threat to the health and security of their communities, they complained. But government officials elsewhere in the
country, particularly in our federal government and in blue cities such as New York and Washington D.C., dismissed the pleas
from governors such as Greg Abbott in Texas and Doug Ducey in Arizona. Both Ducey and Abbott are, after all, Republicans;
and Republicans just don't like the brown people that come across their border with Mexico. They're just whining bigots,
that's all. Then this past April, both Abbott and Ducey had had enough. [...] Just as the winter was turning into spring
in the northeast, Arizona and Texas began busing these migrants northward, to cities such as New York and D.C.
Biden's
Cabinet: Let us Count the Ways. [#4] Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas: Mayorkas
insists that our border is secure and there is no illegal immigration crisis. His greatest skill is that he seems to
lie more effortlessly, more easily in front of the camera than any of the other cabinet members. He has probably done
more damage to the country than any other cabinet member by his willingness to betray America's fundamental, long-term
interests by encouraging the administration's intentional illegal immigration invasion.
Growing
Number of Texas Counties Declare 'Invasion' at Border. Two more Texas counties confirmed they have declared an
invasion at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent days amid historically high illegal immigration. The Parker County
Commissioners Court unanimously voted this week to invoke a law to say that the United States and Texas are under invasion,
local media reported. Because of the significant presence of illegal immigration and drug trafficking, the declaration
says it is "an invasion of Parker County, Texas, as the term 'invasion' is used in Article IV, Section 4 of the U.S.
Constitution and in Article 4, Section 7 of the Texas Constitution." "I think we all know the border is a mess," Parker
County Sheriff Russ Authier told commissioners during the meeting ahead of the vote. "We see different aspects of it other
than our partners who are on the border seeing the human side of the smuggling, trafficking of people. A lot of what
we're seeing here is the drug smuggling."
Mexico
City residents angered by influx of Americans speaking English, gentrifying area: report. An influx of
Californians and other Americans has made its way to Mexico City, angering some locals who say they are gentrifying the area,
according to a report. The Los Angeles Times report on Wednesday outlined how some Mexican locals are "fed up" with the
growing number of Americans, many from California, moving to and visiting the country, which has contributed to a rise in rent and
a shift from Spanish to English in some places.
The Editor says...
Oh, yes, don't you just hate it when foreigners come to town and fail to assimilate? But who's got this problem -- the U.S. or Mexico?
How many English-only TV stations are in Mexico City? I'm guessing zero.
How many Spanish-only TV stations are on the air in
Dallas? About five.
Ted
Cruz releases brutal video showing migrants who were recruited for human trafficking lining up at the border.
Sen. Ted Cruz accused the Biden administration of overseeing the 'worst plague of slavery in America since the Civil
War' on Monday releasing a gruesome video displaying the toll on migrant children. It shows footage of children being
rounded up along the southern border, and ends with images of young migrants found dead. Throughout, Cruz keeps up a
commentary describing a 'narco slave trade' and blaming President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Biden's
border of death. More migrants have been found dead on the U.S. side of the southern border over the past nine
months than have ever been recorded over a full year in history. In 2020, when then-President Donald Trump's "Remain in
Mexico" policy was in full effect, just 247 bodies were recovered by Border Patrol along the southern border. According
to internal documents obtained by the Washington Examiner, 609 bodies have been found so far this fiscal year
(beginning last Oct. 1) through June, a pace that puts us well on track for more than 700 deaths over a calendar year.
President Joe Biden has been in office for over 18 months. He has had plenty of time to implement the immigration and
border policies he wants. And the infrastructure is now there for the Border Patrol to implement Biden's vision.
The
Demise of American Citizenship. American citizenship and its one-of-a-kind written contract with the central
government, the Constitution with its Bill of Rights, is under relentless assault by the nation's governing establishment and
teetering on the edge of meaninglessness. No nation can maintain its status as a nation without secure and identifiable
borders. Citizenship means nothing if untold millions of illegal immigrants openly defy the laws without consequence.
It is estimated that 22 million illegals resided in the United States as of 2018. Responding to an explicit invitation
from the Biden administration, another 2+ million have walked unchallenged across the border in the past 18 months.
These so-called undocumented immigrants are becoming legally indistinguishable from citizens as they openly reside in 500 sanctuary
jurisdictions, receive welfare, education and medical care, are granted drivers licenses, and given tuition breaks at public
universities as they, not legal immigrants or American citizens, are exempt from federal immigration, health and travel laws.
Over
500,000 immigrant 'gotaways' at US border may be roaming the country: report. More than 500,000 known "gotaway"
immigrants have crossed the border into the US but evaded capture since the start of FY 2022, according to a new report.
Multiple senior Department of Homeland Security sources confirmed the number to Fox News on Monday, revealing that there has
been an average of more than 55,000 known "gotaways" per month. "Gotaways" is a commonly used term for illegal immigrants
who have been spotted crossing the border by agents or on camera but were not caught or processed by officials.
Amtrak, or boxcars? Email
from FEMA shows illegal immigrants bused to D.C. from Texas will be put on trains to Florida. According to a
report from The Epoch Times, a newly surfaced email shows that an official with the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) stated that the illegal immigrants arriving on buses from Texas would be "put on a train" to Florida if they did not
have family to pick them up. The Oversight Project, an investigative unit of The Heritage Foundation, obtained the
email from the federal government via a Freedom of Information Act request. The email was in regards to the governments
response to Texas Governor Greg Abbott's initiative to bus illegal immigrants apprehended at the nation's southern boarder to
the nation's capital.
Why
would 500,000 illegals choose not to turn themselves into Joe Biden's catch-and-release Border Patrol? A few
days ago, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, speaking to the global elites at some summit in Aspen, surreally
declared that the U.S. border "is secure." It was garbage, much as everything else he says, given that more than
3 million illegal aliens with zero vetting have crossed into the U.S. on Joe Biden's watch[,] just as Rep. Andy Biggs
pointed out in his excellent op-ed for Townhall [elsew]here. Millions of illegal border crossers, with a record 270,000
apprehended in just the last month, is nothing to brag about, and yet that was exactly what Mayorkas was doing, according to
former ICE acting director Tom Homan. Fox News Digital asked Border Patrol agents on the ground what they thought of
the Mayorkas declaration — and got this: "Hundreds of thousands crossing every month is not the definition
of secure," one agent said. "They are liars and anyone who believes them are fools."
Supreme
Court Blocks Biden Admin Policy Narrowing Detainment, Deportation of Illegal Aliens. The U.S. Supreme Court
gave Texas and Louisiana a temporary legal victory in the border states' attempt to strike down a September 2021 Biden
administration immigration guideline. The Supreme Court, in a ruling without explanation on Thursday, allowed a federal
judge in Texas to block the Biden Administration's immigration guideline that, according to the border states' prosecutors,
limits the ability of border agents to detain and deport illegal aliens. The ruling is a political setback for the
Biden administration as it tries to juggle an unprecedented surge in illegal immigration, overburdened Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE), and an agenda to replace the Trump administration's more stringent border policy amid bipartisan
criticism.
Supreme
Court won't allow Biden immigration policy to move forward. The Supreme Court rejected a policy by the Biden
administration to prioritize the deportation of illegal immigrants who pose a threat to national security or public
safety. In a 5-4 decision, the court's order freezes the policy for now, but justices said it would hear arguments on
the case, likely in late November. Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the three liberal judges who would
have allowed Biden to initiate the directive. The decision comes after the administration's emergency request to the
court following differing determinations from federal appeals courts. The case stems from a September order from
Homeland Security that stopped deportation unless the person committed acts of terrorism, espionage or serious criminal
conduct that threatens public safety.
Uvalde
and the Collateral Damage of Loose Borders. Authorities are still analyzing the conditions that led to the
nightmarish school shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24. Like many similar incidents, there are a
multitude of factors: the school's safety procedures, law enforcement response to the incident, and the failure to recognize
warning signs telegraphed by the shooter, among others. But now, in a preliminary report on the incident, the Texas
State House of Representatives has identified another, previously unreported factor. Since they have become ground zero
in the Biden Administration's immigration disaster, Texas border towns have seen increasing numbers of "bailouts." This
refers to incidents where law enforcement attempts to pull over vehicles suspected of human smuggling. The drivers will
refuse to stop and speed away. The result is often a vehicle crash where driver and passengers "bail out" of the
vehicle and flee to avoid arrest.
'Look,
the border is secure': Alejandro Mayorkas makes stunning claim with more than 200,000 migrants passing every month for three
months. The Biden administration continues to assure that the southern border is 'secure' despite
record-setting numbers of illegal crossings and proliferation of the crisis over the last few months. 'Look, the border
is secure,' Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Matorkas insisted during remarks at the Aspen Security
Forum in Colorado on Tuesday [7/19/2022]. But he added that the administration is still 'working to make the border
more secure.'
Over
100 immigrants found in Texas stash houses before they could be smuggled. US Border Patrol agents rescued more
than 100 illegal immigrants from three squalid stash houses in a 24-hour period in El Paso, Texas, this week, officials said
Thursday [7/21/2022]. Dozen of people were seen crammed into disgusting rooms in dirty homes and motel rooms, according
to pics of the 103 immigrants released by Border Patrol. The find comes just weeks after the deaths of 53 immigrants in
San Antonio in the back of a sweltering tractor-trailer — and border officials believe a similar tragedy was
narrowly averted as the migrants were likely to be soon shipped off in trucks.
The Left Should
Be Happy with Biden. The Left should be ecstatic that Joe Biden has given them everything they wanted. [...]
The hard American Left always wanted unlimited illegal immigration. Biden agreed and destroyed the southern border as
we knew it. The result is that in less than two years, nearly 3 million illegal aliens have surged into the United
States. Nearly all of them arrived unvaccinated, untested, and unaudited at a time of a COVID pandemic. Biden
worries little that record numbers of Americans are dying from drugs that now pour across the border. Cartels became
richer and more powerful than ever under his watch, while child traffickers were freed from worries. Biden did more
than any prior Democrat to ensure massive illegal immigration as part of the leftist dream of flipping red states blue by
changing the demography.
DHS Lost Track Of Nearly
One-Third Of The Illegal Immigrants It Released Into The US: Report. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
failed to record the domestic addresses of nearly one third of illegal migrants released into the country, according to a
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Inspector General report obtained by The Washington Free Beacon. Between March
and June 2021, when the migrants crossed, CBP encountered over 720,000 migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to the
Beacon. Between March and September 2021, nearly 30% of those released "did not comply with release terms," the
outlet reported.
Supreme
Court blocks Biden from implementing immigration policy but will hear case. The federal government doesn't have
the resources to detain and deport every immigrant in the country illegally. Like previous administrations, the Biden
administration sought to focus immigration enforcement on people it believes pose a threat to national security or public
safety or who are recent border crossers. The Trump administration, by contrast, sought to remove a wider category of
immigrants without such distinctions. A federal district court in Texas sided with the states and halted the policy's
enforcement. A three-judge panel of the New Orleans-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit — all
three of whom were nominated by GOP presidents — declined to put the district court's ruling on hold while the
administration contemplated appeal. The Biden administration filed its emergency request in July asking the Supreme
Court to review the 5th Circuit's decision.
As
Border Crossings Surge, [the] Biden Admin [is] Hiding Data on Illegal Alien Deaths. Border apprehensions
recently topped 1.7 million, with three months of the fiscal year remaining. At the same time, the Biden administration
has broken a long-standing policy of publicly releasing the number of illegal immigrants who die while crossing into the
United States, or soon after. The Rio Grande Valley in Texas and the Tucson Sector in Arizona have traditionally been
the most deadly border sectors, as the river and the summer heat claim the most lives, and smugglers leave injured and sick
aliens to die. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published on its website the number of migrant deaths along the
southern border from fiscal 1998 to fiscal 2020, but stopped once the Biden administration took over the agency. Over
the course of three months, The Epoch Times made multiple requests to CBP for the missing data from fiscal years 2021 and
2022 to date. But CBP, to date, has declined to provide the information.
DC
is only 'experiencing a fraction of the disaster created by Biden's reckless border policies': Texas Gov. Greg
Abbott. Governor Greg Abbott's office claims that Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser is only seeing a
'fraction of the disaster' at the southern border after she complained that her city's homeless shelters are filling up with
migrants bused from Texas and Arizona. 'Border communities are overrun and overwhelmed, and Governor Abbott launched the
border bus mission back in April to help provide support to these communities pleading for help where the Biden Administration
is dumping migrants,' Abbott spokeswoman Renae Eze told DailyMail.com in a statement. She added: 'With our nation's capital
now experiencing a fraction of the disaster created by President Biden's reckless open border policies that our state faces
every single day, maybe he'll finally do his job and secure the border.'
Border
crisis hits NYC: Adams calls on Biden as shelters overrun with migrants. New York City's homeless shelters are
being overrun with asylum-seeking migrants as the immigration crisis at the southern border worsens — with nearly
3,000 arriving in recent weeks, Mayor Eric Adams warned Monday [7/18/2022]. Adams called on President Biden to send
"additional federal resources immediately" so the city can handle the overflow. "If we do not get these urgently needed
resources, we may struggle to provide the proper level of support our clients deserve, while also facing challenges as we
serve both a rapidly growing shelter population and new clients who are seeking asylum," Adams said in a prepared
statement. Adams said the illegal immigrants included families "arriving on buses sent by the Texas and Arizona
governments" but in other cases, he said, "it appears that individuals are being sent by the federal government."
Analysis:
Biden on Pace to Bring 2.1 Million Illegal Aliens to [the] U.S. Border in 2022. President Joe Biden is
currently on pace to bring about 2.1 million illegal aliens to the United States-Mexico border by the end of the year.
Steve Kopits with the Princeton Policy Advisors projects that in fiscal year 2022, Biden will entice about 2.1 million
illegal aliens to the southern border — an annual record for illegal immigration that surpasses Biden's record-setting
levels for 2021. "Overall, the situation at the border is largely unchanged. The Open Borders policy remains in place,"
Kopits wrote in an analysis.
Cuellar:
'Only 30%' of Border Patrol Agents Are on Border in Some Parts as More Drugs and People Come in. On Friday's
[7/15/2022] broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "America's Newsroom," Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) said that "in the
southern part of the area from Laredo down to the valley," only 30% of Border Patrol agents are actually on the border
because the rest are doing processing and administrative work, and that at a time when "we have larger amounts of drugs
coming in, more people coming in, we have a lesser number of Border Patrol agents doing their work."
Greg
Abbott's 'publicity stunt' busing illegals from Texas to Washington, D.C. ... is working. With the border surge
hitting historic highs, and Texas taking the brunt of Joe Biden's open borders, the Lone Star state's governor, Greg Abbott,
announced a plan to bus illegal border crossers on a voluntary basis to Washington, D.C. He said it was to get Washington's
attention. Washington's swamp denizens in the press and halls of power, calling it a publicity stunt. What we are
seeing now is that the much-derided "stunt" is working. [...] Illegal border crossers are being offered free bus rides from
Texas to Washington and a lot of them are taking the governor up on it, heading for the free stuff there after paying $7,000
to cartel human smugglers for the crossing. Cartels make money, cities and states lose money, and migrants get to stay
in America for free. Bottom line here is that her city's shelters are being flooded with illegals, the cost is has got
to be enormous, the shelters can't keep up, and now [Mayor Muriel Bowser is] whining.
Biden
Halts Prosecutions for Most Illegal Border Crossings. The Biden administration dramatically reduced migrant
prosecutions by nearly 80 percent in the 2021 fiscal year, even as illegal crossings skyrocketed. Just 2,896 migrants
apprehended on the southwest border were transferred into U.S. Marshals Service custody in the 2021 fiscal year, according to
an internal Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. In the 2020 fiscal
year, 13,213 migrants were transferred to federal authorities for prosecution. The precipitous drop in migrant
prosecutions illustrates President Joe Biden's break from prior administrations' policies toward illegal immigration.
DC
Democrats beg for help as border states bus migrants to Biden's backyard. More than 150 buses traveling from
Arizona and Texas have transported nearly 6,000 migrants to the nation's capital over the past three months, and Democrats in
Washington are complaining that they cannot accommodate the mass releases. The operation has collectively cost both
border states millions of taxpayer dollars, including $6.8 million in Texas to date. But Republican Gov. Greg
Abbott, who initiated the operation in mid-April, said the move is having the desired results — getting Washington
politicians a little taste of how communities have been inundated under President Joe Biden. "Governor Abbott launched
Texas's border bus mission back in April to bring President Biden's border crisis to his backyard in Washington, D.C., and to
help Texas border communities that are being overrun as the federal government dumps migrants in their towns," Abbott
spokeswoman Renae Eze said in a statement to the Washington Examiner.
DC
homeless shelters are filling up with migrants from Arizona and Texas Mayor Muriel Bowser claims. Washington,
D.C.'s homeless shelters are filling up because Texas Governor Greg Abbott is sending busloads of migrants from his state to
the nation's capital, Mayor Muriel Bowser claimed Sunday morning. The D.C. mayor is requesting that Abbott stop
preventing migrants from getting to their final destinations. Arizona's Governor Doug Ducey followed Abbott's lead
earlier this summer as they both started sending migrants from their respective states to D.C. to take some of the load off
of the migration crisis hitting border states.
Whose fault is it, Muriel? You've only seen a few of them, Muriel. Plenty more are coming, Muriel. Dem
Mayor Muriel Bowser Whines About Illegal Aliens Sent by TX and AZ Overwhelming D.C.. Texas and Arizona have
been among the states inundated by the flood of illegal aliens entering through our southern border. Yet, the Biden
Administration doesn't seem to give a darn about how that is affecting and harming the states involved. Their resources
have been overwhelmed. So, the two states had a great idea. Let's ship the people who entered illegally and who
are awaiting their asylum claims to Washington, D.C., so that the people in Washington finally get how we are being
overwhelmed. They've been shipping hundreds of people in dozens of separate bus trips since April.

First Act of GOP-led Congress Should Be Mayorkas Impeachment — 'The Body Bags Are Piling Up'. Friday
on FNC's "Hannity," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) pledged action against the Biden administration for how it has handled the
crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. The Texas Republican laid out many of the problems with President Joe Biden's border
and immigration policy. He also said the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas should be a
priority should Republicans win back Congress.

Cruz reveals why illegals coming to the border wear colored wristbands. Ted Cruz was at the border last night
and revealed why illegals who are coming to the border are wearing different colored wristbands. [Video clip]
In short, the colored wristbands represent their debt to the cartels which they are forced to pay back, either by working for the
cartel if you are a male or being forced into sex slavery if you are female. Cruz says this happens in every city in America.
Dozens
of migrants said to be from Texas arrive on bus at Union Station in DC. Migrants sent from Texas are still
arriving in D.C. months after the state's governor followed through on a promise to send those who crossed U.S. border
illegally to the nation's capital. Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) first announced on April 6 that the state would send
people crossing the U.S. border from Mexico to the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Abbott's announcement came as he voiced
opposition to President Joe Biden lifting Title 42, the public health policy the Trump administration started during the
COVID-19 pandemic. It allows the government to quickly expel migrants and asylum seekers who come to the U.S. from
countries where an infectious disease — like COVID-19 — is present.
Left-Wing Nonprofit
Scores $171.7 Million [or greater] Government Contract To Help Illegal Immigrants Avoid Authorities. A liberal
non-profit group has been given a taxpayer-funded government contract worth at least $171.7 million — which could
potentially reach just under $1 billion — for assisting illegal immigrant minors in avoiding capture or
incarceration by U.S. Border Patrol and state officials. The Department of the Interior was the awarding agency and
"The Vera Institute of Justice," based out of New York — which supports the "defund the police" movement and has
lax views on immigration enforcement — was the beneficiary. Health and Human Services (HHS) had initially
funded the contract back in March, Fox News Digital discovered, to "provide legal assistance to unaccompanied minors,
according to a federal database."
Biden
Brags About Importing 'Record' Foreign Workers to Compete Against Americans for Jobs. President Joe Biden is
bragging about the "record" number of foreign visa workers his administration has brought to the United States to compete for
working and middle class jobs against unemployed Americans. During a press conference with Mexican President
Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), Biden bragged that his Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has created a
steady flow to the U.S. of foreign workers on agricultural H-2A and nonagricultural H-2B visas.
Biden's
Twin Dumpster Fires: Raging Inflation and Open Borders. Faced with several serious domestic and foreign
policy problems all at once, the Biden administration's reaction has been so catastrophically incoherent, it's hard to know
whether to blame leftist ideology or just plain incompetence. Inflation hits all of us right now. [...] Meanwhile, the
effects of rampant illegal immigration are felt insidiously by most of us in crowded schools, the flow of illegal drugs, more
expensive health care, and numerous other social costs, but they are hitting especially fast and hard in border communities.
After 17 months of record illegal immigration, the leaders of several Texas border counties have reached their limit in
responding to the catastrophe. They have just declared that they are under invasion, in an effort to get Homeland Security
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to enforce immigration law and protect them from an unprecedented, unchecked flood of illegal
entrants — more than 1.5 million apprehended at the border just since October.

DHS Extends 'Temporary' Amnesty for 343K Venezuelans in U.S.. President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) is extending temporary amnesty status for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans living in the United States who
would otherwise be eligible for deportation. On Monday [7/11/2022], DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced that the
Biden administration will extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 more months to about 343,000 Venezuelans living in
the United States. The move comes after former President Trump and then current President Biden rewarded Venezuelans
with TPS in January 2021 and March 2021 respectively. Trump had initially started TPS for about 94,000 Venezuelans and
Biden later expanded the program to include an additional quarter of a million Venezuelans.

Stream Across the Border as DHS Projects Record Numbers. The border crisis has remained in full swing as nearly
10,000 migrants streamed across the Texas boundary in the past week, while the Department of Homeland Security has projected
that as many as 161,000 of these migrants will be unaccompanied minors. In the past six days, the Texas border town of
Eagle Pass has seen a swarm of humanity descend upon them, as nearly 10,000 migrants have been apprehended. The town,
which was once a more quiet spot on the border, has become the epicenter for the current crisis. According to Breitbart
News, these Eagle Pass numbers dwarf the amount of interactions in the Rio Grande Valley Border Sector. This is over
the same six-day period, ending July 9.

Migrants Cross into Texas Border Town in Six Days. One Texas border town now leads the nation in migrant
crossings and apprehensions. Nearly 10,000 migrants illegally crossed the border into Eagle Pass, Texas, during the
past six days, according to a source operating under the umbrella of U.S Customs and Border Protection. Once a city
with fewer migrant apprehensions than most other southwest border cities, Eagle Pass is now ground zero for the Biden
administration's continuing border crisis. The source says migrant apprehensions in the city numbered nearly 10,000
over a six-day period ending on July 9 making it the leading crossing point in the nation for migrants.
Meet The Man Orchestrating
The Endless Torrent Of Migrant Caravans Heading Toward The Border. The leader of recent migrant caravans has
helped bring thousands of people through Mexico on a mission he says is driven by God, he told the Daily Caller News
Foundation. Luis Rey Garcia Villagran told the DCNF that he's directly helped 40,000 migrants cross into the United
States through caravans he's led since September 2021, believing it's his duty to God. He's done so through the work of
his organization, the Center for Human Dignity. [...] Villagran's latest group started to gain attention when thousands of
migrants reached Southern Mexico in early June. Some members of the caravan were granted work visas by the Mexican
government, while others trekked northward with many expected to arrive in Texas, according to The Washington Examiner.
Biden
Admin Flies Illegal Alien Minors out of Texas for Abortions. Per the far-left Reuters, the pure evil that is
the Biden Administration has "been flying or driving minors from Texas shelters to other states for abortions." [...] Now
that the moral and legal atrocity known as Roe v. Wade has finally been overturned, the corporate media have
and will continue to look for stories that show how awful the not-killing-of-innocent-babies is. So Reuters came up
with this beauty about the terrible plight of illegal aliens who will now have trouble accessing a clinic that will kill
their innocent baby. Why? Because Texas has outlawed abortion, and to try and turn the Lone Star state blue,
Biden has opened the border in Texas. So most illegals end up in Texas, where they can't get an abortion.
Biden
Administration Cannot Ignore Federal Law, Must Remove Illegal Alien Criminals: Court. President Joe
Biden's administration cannot ignore federal law that says authorities must arrest, detain, and remove illegal aliens
convicted of certain crimes and/or aliens who are ordered deported, an appeals court has ruled. Federal law says the
attorney general "shall take into custody," "shall detain," and "shall remove" illegal aliens convicted of certain crimes and
aliens who are ordered deported. But the Biden administration has attempted to prevent the holding and removal of some
illegal immigrants convicted of those crimes. "The fact an individual is a removable noncitizen therefore should not
alone be the basis of an enforcement action against them," Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a Biden appointee,
said in a memorandum in September 2021 outlining new guidance that narrowed immigration enforcement priorities.
Mayorkas also said that immigration agents should not "rely on the fact of conviction ... alone" when deciding to take action
against an alien.
Greg
Abbott directs Texas police and military to return illegal immigrants to border. The Republican governor of
Texas directed state military and police forces to arrest and transport back to the southern border any person suspected of
illegally entering the United States from Mexico. Gov. Greg Abbott, who is seeking a third term in November,
authorized Texas National Guard soldiers and Texas Department of Public Safety officers on Thursday afternoon to take custody
of illegal immigrants encountered between the ports of entry and "return those illegal immigrants to the border at a port of
entry," his new executive order states. The order suggests that Texas authorities will not enter Mexico.
Cuccinelli:
No judge has ever declared invasion before in U.S. history. U.S. judges declaring an invasion at the southern
border hasn't occurred before until this week, Ken Cuccinelli, former U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services director and
deputy secretary of Department of Homeland Security, said. On Tuesday, four county judges in Texas declared an invasion citing
Article 4, Section 7 of the Texas Constitution and Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution.
They called on Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to "immediately prevent and/or remove all persons invading the sovereignty of
Texas and that of the United States." Illegal border crossings have surged since President Joe Biden took office and
implemented policies that Texas officials and many other critics say directly caused the spike. "We are taking
unprecedented steps with the hope of encouraging Gov. Greg Abbott to acknowledge the existence of an invasion on our
border with Mexico and take necessary actions to preserve and protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Texas,"
Kinney County Judge Tully Shahan and Kinney County Attorney Brent Smith said.
Gov.
Abbott Authorizes Texas National Guard To Apprehend Illegal Immigrants And Return Them To Border. Governor Greg
Abbott today issued an executive order authorizing and empowering the Texas National Guard and the Texas Department of Public
Safety to apprehend illegal immigrants who illegally cross the border between ports of entry and return them to the
border. The Biden Administration's decision to end Title 42 expulsions and the Remain-in-Mexico policy has led to
historic levels of illegal crossings, with 5,000 migrants being apprehended over the July 4th weekend, creating a border
crisis that has overrun communities along the border and across Texas. "While President Biden refuses to do his job and
enforce the immigration laws enacted by Congress, the State of Texas is once again stepping up and taking unprecedented
action to protect Americans and secure our southern border," said Governor Abbott.

State New Jersey Creates $60M 'Slush Fund' for Illegal Aliens. [Scroll down] Elected Republicans have
called the plan a "slush fund" intended to transfer New Jersey taxpayer dollars to illegal aliens. "The Democrats who
control the legislature know that Gov. Murphy's program giving big cash payments to illegal immigrants is so unpopular
with most New Jerseyans that they were afraid to fund it directly in the state budget," State Sen. Jim Holzapfel (R)
said. "Instead, they created a slush fund that Gov. Murphy controls that appears to have been designed
specifically to continue making these ridiculous payments," Holzapfel continued.
GOP
Lawmakers Demand Answers From Merrick Garland Over Removal of Trump-era Immigration Judges. In a letter to
Attorney General Merrick Garland, 12 House Republicans are demanding to know why Trump-appointed immigration judges are being
dismissed even as the border crisis rages. "Your department is unfairly terminating Trump-appointed immigration judges
amid a historic border crisis and rapidly growing immigration case backlog," wrote the lawmakers, led by Rep. Andy Biggs
(R-AZ). According to a recent report from The Washington Times, at least six Trump-era judges have been removed from
their posts. "It's an attempt to weaponize the courts along ideological lines," Matthew J. O'Brien, one of the ousted
judges told the Times. "It's court packing on steroids. It's court packing by deletion and then addition, because
they're getting rid of judges and they're replacing them with people who meet their ideological framework."
This goes on every month, but somehow the official number of illegal aliens in the U.S. remains constant at 11.3 million. 192K
Migrants Apprehended Crossing SW Border in June. Border Patrol agents apprehended nearly 192,000 migrants who
illegally crossed from Mexico in June, according to government records previewed by Breitbart Texas. Since March 1,
agents apprehended more than 182,000 migrants in the nine southwest border sectors. According to a source operating
under the umbrella of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Border Patrol agents apprehended just under 192,000 migrants who
illegally crossed the border between ports of entry in June. The source told Breitbart Texas that Border Patrol agents
are exhausted and overwhelmed while attempting to keep up with the volume of illegal crossings.
Multiple
Texas Counties Issue 'Declarations of an Invasion' in Response to Escalating Border Crisis. While Texans are
mighty proud of their "Don't mess with Texas" declaration, Joe Biden has been mightily messing with Texas since his
first day in office. The Biden Border Crisis has now escalated to the point that judges in multiple Texas counties are
issuing declarations of an invasion, effective on Tuesday [7/5/2022], in response to unprecedented challenges from the
escalating surge of illegal aliens into the Lone Star State. Leading the effort, as reported by The Center Square, is
Kinney County Judge Tully Shahan, the first Texas county judge to issue a disaster declaration in 2021 over the worsening
impact of Biden's illegal alien invasion, prompting other county judges to issue similar declarations. In addition to
Shahan's efforts, Kinney County attorney Brent Smith has asked Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton to
take steps to act under Article 1 of the Texas Constitution.
DHS
erases barrier to legal status for some illegal immigrants. Making it back into the U.S. after being ousted is
"irrelevant" to an illegal immigrant's eligibility to apply for a new legal status, the Homeland Security Department's
citizenship agency says in a new policy. In the past, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services would have denied the
application under a law that required onetime illegal immigrants to wait outside the country for up to 10 years before they
would be eligible to apply to come back legally. Experts said the policy now says the law doesn't require a wait
elsewhere as long as the immigrant doesn't pop up on Homeland Security's radar during the waiting period.
Biden's
Immigration Policies Are Killing People. The tragic suffocation deaths of 53 illegal border-crossers in a
trailer truck in Texas are a horrific reminder that the Biden administration's open-border immigration policies continue to
act as an irresistible magnet, pulling hundreds of thousands of migrants from countries around the world to risk life and
limb in a dangerous journey to reach our porous southern frontier. The supply of would-be migrants is inexhaustible:
people who put themselves and family members, sometimes even unaccompanied children, in the hands of criminal smugglers in
order to claw their way into the developed world. While they may be desperate, these illegal migrants still calculate
their decision to travel based on the message they receive from the authorities in the destination country. And that
message from the Biden administration is wholly irresponsible. Even in acknowledging the mass suffocation deaths, DHS
Secretary Mayorkas, one of the chief architects of Biden's destructive immigration policies, still refuses to use his
megaphone to tell people not to come because they will be turned back.
U.N.
Says Joe Biden's Border Is 'Deadliest Land Crossing in the World'. President Joe Biden's border with Mexico is
the deadliest land crossing in the world, according to a United Nations group, the International Organization for
Migration. "More than 1,238 lives have been lost during migration in the [north, central and south] Americas in 2021,
among them at least 51 children," said the group's July 1 report.
Texas
Sheriff: Open Border Is Transforming America to Marxist State. Sheriffs in Texas are experiencing the
impact of the border crisis in their counties every day — whether it's armed cartel operatives smuggling illegal
immigrants, vehicle pursuits resulting in crashes and deaths, or drug overdose deaths from fentanyl brought across the
southern border. In Goliad, Sheriff Roy Boyd sits 200 miles from the Texas-Mexico border, between McAllen and
Houston — a major transport corridor of illegal immigrants and illicit goods. As a 29-year law enforcement
veteran in the region, Boyd said he's never seen a border crisis so bad or border-related crime so egregious.
DHS
to Enforce 'Remain in Mexico' Policy for Several More Weeks, Warn Migrants Not to Come: Mayorkas.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said on July 3 that his department will continue to warn migrants to not show
up at the U.S.-Mexico border, as the current "Remain in Mexico" policy isn't going away for "several weeks." Appearing on
CBS's "Face the Nation," Mayorkas was asked whether the border enforcement agencies have the manpower and resources needed to
handle "thousands of people who departed on Friday and are moving toward the U.S. border." He responded by blaming
"exploitative smugglers" who use "false information" to motivate migrants to illegally cross the border. "We have said
repeatedly and we continue to warn people not to take the dangerous journey," Mayorkas told CBS's Margaret Brennan, noting
that his department is working with "our partners to the south" to "break up very often" migrant caravans. "We continue
to enforce immigration law, as is our legal responsibility.
Who Are the
Real Insurrectionists? [Scroll down] There is no border. For two years, Joe Biden, again in true
revolutionary fashion, has simply abrogated federal immigration law by fiat. In less than two years, he has welcomed 3
million illegal aliens without audit — or COVID-19 tests or vaccinations — during a pandemic in which
unvaccinated federal employees and military personnel faced dismissal. Biden had taken an oath of office to faithfully
execute the laws of the United States, but then shortly thereafter destroyed immigration laws as we knew them. No prior
president has simply rendered an entire corpus of law null and void.
1,700
Migrants [were] Arrested in Texas Border Town in One Day. Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended 1,772
migrants after they crossed the Rio Grande in a single day in Eagle Pass. The steady stream of migrants apprehended
after crossing the river included one group numbering more than 500. On Thursday, the number of apprehensions exceeded any
other single day total for the city according to the source. A source operating under the umbrella of U.S. Customs and
Border Protection told Breitbart Texas that Del Rio Sector agents lead the nation of late in apprehensions. The source
said the increase in apprehensions is forcing the agency to deal with constant overcrowding at processing facilities.
More than 2,000 migrants were arrested on Thursday throughout the Del Rio Sector — most chose to enter the United
States in Eagle Pass.
Supreme
Court Unwisely Lets Biden End Program Making Illegal Aliens Remain in Mexico. The Remain in Mexico program
(formally known as the Migration Protection Protocols) was implemented by the Trump administration in early 2019 to stop the
caravans of illegal aliens who were coming to our border, claiming a fear of returning to their home country, and getting
released into the U.S., often never to be seen again. The Trump administration was the first to use the 1996
congressional authority that permits the Department of Homeland Security to return non-Mexican aliens arriving by land from
Mexico to Mexico while their claims for asylum or eligibility to be in the U.S. were determined. The program
worked. The caravans stopped, and illegal alien encounters declined when human smugglers and would-be illegal aliens
learned that saying they were entitled to asylum was no longer the golden ticket into the U.S. This was particularly
important because the overwhelming majority of such claims have proven to be fraudulent.
Smuggling
suspect in mass migrant deaths was already on ICE's radar. The man accused of orchestrating the smuggling
journey that cost 53 migrants their lives was already under "active investigation" by ICE agents in Texas, according to court
documents. Christian Martinez was tied to the smuggling by text messages found on the phone of Homero Zamorano Jr., who
was found hiding at the spot where the truck and its dead bodies were abandoned, and whom authorities have identified as the
driver. After realizing Mr. Martinez was already on their radar, ICE Homeland Security Investigations agents in
Texas worked with police in his hometown of Palestine, Texas, to identify a confidential informant who knows him.
Supreme
Court Ends 'Remain in Mexico' Policy. "Remain in Mexico" (officially termed the Migrant Protection Protocols)
is an immigration policy created in response to the surge of immigrants coming across the southern border from Mexico.
Originally implemented in January 2019 under the administration of President Donald Trump, it required that non-Mexican
migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. remain in Mexico until their U.S. immigration court date. According to federal
immigration law, the federal government is supposed to detain immigrants while they await the hearing of their case.
However, Congress has never allocated enough money to detain the rising number of illegal migrants who need to be
detained. Under "Remain in Mexico," the U.S. government may return migrants to Mexico if there is no room in the
detention centers. However, President Joe Biden wishes to release the migrants into the United States and simply hope
they show up for their court dates.
Fed-up
Texas sheriff drives 4 migrants back to border to deport them. A Texas sheriff personally drove four illegal
immigrants he'd apprehended back to the US-Mexico border to deport them, insisting he's been left with no choice given the
current border crisis. Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe told the Epoch Times the migrants were discovered after a
suspected smuggling vehicle his deputies were pursuing crashed on Wednesday morning. Five illegal immigrants were found
inside the vehicle, including a woman who had to be taken to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. The sheriff
said Border Patrol agents had told him they could only apprehend the four other migrants if they'd been medically assessed at
a hospital first.
Supreme
Court allows Biden to end Trump-era 'Remain in Mexico' policy. The Supreme Court handed President Joe Biden a
victory Thursday [6/30/2022], ruling that he can shut down a Trump administration program designed to restrict immigration at
the southern border. The court said in a 5-4 ruling that the Biden administration acted properly in seeking to end the
"Remain in Mexico" policy, formally known as the Migrant Protection Protocols. It required people seeking asylum at the
southern border, mainly from Central America, to wait in Mexico while their claims were decided.
Two
Americans face capital charges in Texas migrant deaths case. Federal prosecutors announced capital smuggling
charges Wednesday against two men they say were involved with the truck found on the side of a San Antonio road with the
bodies of dozens of dead illegal immigrants packed inside. Authorities have identified Homero Zamorano Jr., an American
citizen, as the driver of the truck, and have also connected Christian Martinez to the smuggling attempt.
Mr. Zamorano, 45, faces a charge of smuggling resulting in death, which carries a possible death sentence.
Mr. Martinez, 28, was charged with conspiracy to smuggle aliens resulting in death, which prosecutors said also carries
a potential death sentence. Police found 48 dead bodies when they reached the truck, and five more people have died
since being taken to the hospital, for a current death toll of 53. Eleven others were still hospitalized as of Wednesday.
Of
course Biden's policies are to blame for this migrant tragedy. "These deaths are on Biden. They are a
result of his deadly open border policies." That's what Texas Gov. Greg Abbott tweeted Monday [6/27/2022] upon
learning of a truck full of dead illegal immigrants being smuggled through San Antonio. Was he right? There's
certainly plenty of blame to go around. The smugglers bear the most direct responsibility for the tragedy. They
fleece the migrants (derided as "chickens"), shoot competitors, rape little girls — truly the scum of the earth.
The corrupt and dysfunctional leadership of the countries these people are fleeing also bear responsibility, for making their
countries the kinds of places people want to flee from. The illegal immigrants themselves are adults, of course, and
put children at risk by hiring criminals. But there's no getting around the fact that President Joe Biden shoulders a
big part of the blame. Regardless of US policy, some foreigners are going to take foolish, often deadly, risks to
come to America. But when Biden issued what smugglers call "La Invitación" to prospective illegal immigrants
worldwide, what did he think was going to happen?
The
wages of Biden's open border: 46 found dead in a San Antonio truck. [Scroll down] It doesn't matter if
they were illegal border crossers at this point, they were human beings and nobody deserves to die a cruel suffocating death
like that — as some kind of misplaced or forgotten cargo, with some human smuggler stepping away to save himself
for unknown reasons, perhaps fear of arrest or not being paid or something else. The size of the death count is
comparable to that of a cartel massacre of migrants who didn't pay the crossing fees that happened in the north of Mexico
years ago, after a mass grave was discovered. Well, now the mass graves are happening here in the states, big ones,
consistent with huge human smuggling syndicates and the cartel organized cash it takes to organize them. Freelance
border coyotes taking a family at a time across the Rio Grande can't pull off these kinds of operations such as what was
found in the truck, which had to have been an experienced operation. That means that someone out there enabled these
illegal migrant organizations to get very, very big, both from extended "business," and from the cartel expectation that the
truck would never be intercepted nor break down, or whatever it was that happened that led to the truck becoming an abandoned
death chamber on a street in San Antonio.
250
Migrants Cross into Texas Border Town in One Hour. More than 250 migrants in separate groups were witnessed
crossing into the city [of Eagle Pass, Texas] in the span of an hour Monday night [6/27/2022]. The group that appears in
the video numbered nearly 100 and was immediately preceded by a group of more than 150 a short distance away, according to
Border Patrol agents. As the large groups crossed at nightfall, authorities in San Antonio, worked to investigate the
deaths of 50 migrants who perished after being smuggled in a sealed tractor trailer near the Interstate 35/Loop 410
interchange. Speaking to reporters about the tragedy, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, flying aboard Air
Force One, reiterated the Biden Administration's position concerning the situation at the southwest border.
Driver
of Texas migrant truck was reportedly 'very high on meth'. The driver of the sweltering tractor-trailer truck
where at least 51 migrants were found dead in Texas was allegedly "very high on meth" when he was nabbed, authorities
said. Homero Zamorano, 45, was taken into custody in a nearby field after he allegedly abandoned the 18-wheeler with
dozens of migrants stashed in the back in a desolate area in San Antonio on Monday. "He was very high on meth when he
was arrested nearby and had to be taken to the hospital," a law enforcement official told the San Antonio Express News.
Following the grim discovery of the bodies inside the truck Monday evening, investigators were able to trace the vehicle's
registration to a San Antonio address that they placed under surveillance, authorities said.
47
Migrants Found Dead in Abandoned Trailer in Texas Smuggling Incident. Police near San Antonio report that 46
migrants are dead and at least 16 others were transported to local hospitals after being locked inside a
tractor-trailer. Officials found the tractor-trailer on the southwest side of San Antonio on a back road near
Interstate 35. Police say the driver may have been involved in a human smuggling incident. A senior law enforcement
source on the scene told Breitbart Texas that 46 migrants were declared dead on the scene or at area hospitals and at least
16 others were taken to area hospitals. A source on the scene says they have a person of interest in custody.
That person was also reportedly transported to an area hospital. At least 60 migrants were packed inside the trailer.
Biden
Is Nowhere To Be Found After Unleashing Total Chaos At The Southern Border. I was at the border just this
week. If President Joe Biden cared, he'd be there too. His Department of Homeland Security (DHS) quietly released
its latest batch of catastrophic border numbers. More than 239,000 illegal immigrants were apprehended in
May — the highest monthly total in DHS history. Taking a step back, this means a shocking 3.5 million
illegal immigrants have now crossed into the U.S. since Biden took office. This is not normal, nor is it
accidental. It is a cataclysmic destruction of our sovereign borders at the expense of the American people. Biden
and his administration are to blame. In his first 100 days, Biden issued countless executive actions, including halting
construction of the border wall and ending Trump's successful "Remain in Mexico" policy under the banner of "compassion."
It was not Americans thanking him — but the illegal immigrants trying to cross over.
Biden
sneaking amnesty through for a million illegal border crossers. Who says crime doesn't pay? When you can
cross the border illegally, and not only be allowed to stay here, collect big benefits, and actually be allowed to apply for
citizenship as a reward for your lawbreaking, why wouldn't you come without papers instead of come the legal way? You'd
be a fool not to. Applying legally and waiting years for entry at great personal expense with no adjacent benefits is a
fool's errand, given the Biden administration's current policies. That's the shocking reality revealed in a report from
the Washington Examiner showing that the Biden administration is now .... ever so quietly ... dropping charges against tens
of thousands of unvetted illegal border crossers and visa overstayers, leaving them with clean records and incredibly, the
"right" to apply for green cards and U.S. citizenship. If the current pace of that continues, at least a million are
going to be effectively amnestied by 2024, the Examiner reports.
Finding
our Way Through a Wilderness of Mirrors. We are passing through a time when the elite of our society call
right, wrong and wrong, right, and when evil is called good and good is called evil. Before we consider what can be
done, let's take a walk through the current upside-down priorities of the various agencies of our government: The Biden
administration's open border policy with Mexico, which has facilitated the entry of a record number of unvetted immigrants
and criminal elements has added to the already extreme crime epidemic that has swept across cities in America —
most all of which are suffering from exasperated and thinly-stretched police forces.
Multiple
Large Migrant Groups Apprehended in South Texas Border Sector. Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol agents
encountered multiple large migrant groups illegally crossing the border from Mexico into Texas. The groups totaled more
than 500 migrants including 146 unaccompanied migrant children. During a 48-hour period ending on June 16, Rio Grande
Valley Sector agents encountered 512 migrants in three large-group crossings, according to information obtained from Border
Patrol officials. The groups included migrants from Cuba, Central America, and South America.
The
mainstream media's lies on secret migrant flights. For a classic example of shoddy, dishonest journalism that
serves as pure propaganda for the Biden administration, look no further than NPR's attempt to discredit our reporting on the
secret flights ferrying illegal migrants from the southern border to unsuspecting communities around the country. NPR
did not mention The Post in Monday's story, only its permanent bugbear Fox News and Tucker Carlson who admirably followed up,
but the journalism it pooh-poohs is ours. "Republicans and right-wing media ... accuse the Biden administration of
organizing secret migrant flights ... but NPR's Joel Rose reports that rhetoric is often at odds with the facts."
Really? A single source was interviewed, a migrant activist. NPR assured listeners there's nothing unusual about
the surge in illegal migration, and all that's happening with these late-night charter flights is kids are being reunited
with their parents, which supposedly was routine under the Trump administration.
Five
Reasons to Impeach Joe Biden. [#2] Biden's violation of U.S. immigration law constitutes treason. Biden
has abused his office by violating the laws he has sworn to defend. He has undermined national security by opening the
southern border to millions of unvetted, low-skilled, uneducated, third-world economic migrants, many of whom are known
terrorists, criminals, and people infected with COVID. The open border policy "is an inside attack on our democracy,"
said former Trump policy adviser Stephen Miller. "The president is working systematically to allow people to invade our
country against our laws to consume public benefits, to take American jobs, and to threaten public safety." Adding
insult to injury, Biden is shipping hordes of illegals to secret destinations without informing the American public.
The Pentagon has confirmed that it is using Laughlin Air Force Base in Texas to fly illegal immigrants to undisclosed parts
of the country. We don't know where they are going or what happens to them when they get there.
DHS released nearly
100K illegal aliens in just one month: Tip of the invasion iceberg. In one respect, when DHS Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas told Rep. Chip Roy at a recent House Judiciary Committee hearing that the DHS has operational control
over the border, he wasn't lying. His department is now releasing close to 100,000 illegal aliens per month into the
interior of the country. Thus, this is actually a controlled and purposeful mass migration, although there are many
more gotaways that funnel through our border during the chaos. Either way, our country can't last with such a volume of
invaders until there is a new president in 2025. Arizona and Texas, buttressed by the other red states, must take action
now. Fox News' Bill Melugin is reporting that the DHS acknowledged in a recent court document that CBP and ICE
released or paroled 95,318 illegal aliens just in the month of May. They are all coming to a city near you. And
this has been going on for a year and a half and will likely continue for another two and a half years if Texas and Arizona
Republicans don't secure their own border.
Greg
Abbott has spent $2.9 million in taxpayer funds sending 1,700 illegal immigrants in buses to Washington DC.
Texas taxpayers are paying the price for Governor Greg Abbott's plan to bus migrants who crossed into the U.S. illegally to
Washington, D.C. As of June 7, $2.9 million in taxpayer funds have sent only 1,778 immigrants to the nation's capital,
according to Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) documents — and the figure is expected to rise as more
buses have already been deployed and Abbott shows no signs of slowing the stunt. More than $1 million of the total cost
has gone toward security alone, while taxpayers are also footing the bill for drivers and GPS tracking, among other things.
The Editor says...
That's $1,631 per capita. Wouldn't it be cheaper to send them back across the border?
Biden
DHS Instructs Border Patrol Agents to Not Apprehend Migrants near Walls, Rio Grande. A new Border Patrol
enforcement policy has been disseminated to agents warning them not to enforce immigration laws or attempt to arrest migrants
near waterways, walls, canals, or other barriers. According to a CBP source, the policy most likely foreshadows pending
administrative disciplinary charges against members of the agency's Horse Patrol Unit lodged during the Haitian migrant
crisis in Del Rio. The source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, says the document also warns against
repatriating migrants without due process by encouraging them to return to Mexico. The memorandum from Tony L.
Barker, Acting Chief of the Border Patrol's Law Enforcement Directorate, was disseminated on Friday.
The Editor says...
Joe Biden — or whoever makes his decisions and pulls his strings — is effectively moving the border northward by
telling the Border Patrol not to enforce the international boundary right where it is. Give them an inch, and they'll
definitely take a mile.
Libertarians:
It's Americans' Fault Illegal Migrants Die. Migrant Haitians are drowning in the Atlantic, and it is Americans'
fault, says Reason magazine, a libertarian publication. "With land-based migration proving difficult, some
desperate Haitians are attempting to reach American soil aboard overcrowded ships," says the June 13 article, which is
headlined "America's Harsh Immigration Restrictions Mean Haitians Drown Trying To Get Here." [...] "Significant numbers of
people are losing their lives because the administration is luring them to take these foolish risks," responded Mark
Krikorian, the director of the Center for Immigration Studies.
Texas's
Gov. Abbott blocks and breaks that gargantuan incoming caravan. Joe Biden is letting one of the largest
illegal migrant caravans in history move into the U.S., with no effort to stop it. Texas's governor, Greg Abbott,
isn't. According to a very interesting report by Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies, the record-sized
15,000-strong caravan has run into interference from the Texas governor, and his counterpart in the adjacent Mexican state of
Coahuila, who had the foresight to sign an agreement in April about border security.
DHS
plans to punish Border Patrol agents already cleared in 'whipping' of migrants. The Biden administration was
left with egg all over its face when, after embracing a phony leftist narrative about Border Patrol agents "whipping"
migrants illegally crossing into the U.S., it quietly dropped the matter and hoped no one would notice. They should
have apologized to the agents. Instead, they're coming for the agents a second time.
Team
of Fools: Biden's Cabinet Picks Prove He is Unfit to Lead. I have written extensively about Biden's
shortcomings. Nothing exceeds his capacity for choosing the wrong people. It would be difficult to zero in on
Biden's worst choice, but his Homeland Security Secretary would be a good candidate. Alejandro Mayorkas has me somewhat
confused. I can't tell if he is a consummate liar or just plain delusional. Mayorkas claimed that his message to
migrants heading to the U.S. is: "Do not come." Then he declared that "Our border is not open." He
also asserted his department has "a handle" on migration. "We're not letting people loose," he said. More blatant
lies never have been uttered. In direct contradiction to his statements and his sworn duty to uphold the law, Mayorkas
deliberately has allowed more than a million to cross our southern border illegally. "The vast majority of those people
are single adults — not families fleeing poverty," said Liz Peek on Fox News, "and the total includes 40 men on
the terror watch list. Under Mayorkas, deaths due to drug overdoses topped 100,000 for the first time ever, the vast
majority from fentanyl, imported from China and Mexico across our southern border."
Biden
has filled admin with open border activists who 'do not care': Brandon Judd. National Border Patrol Council
President Brandon Judd criticized open border "activists" within the White House Tuesday for the migrant crisis at the
southern border. On "America's Newsroom," Judd argued President Biden and his staff "do not care" about the issues
created by illegal immigration like drug smuggling, human trafficking and economic strain so long as they achieve their
political agenda. [Video clip]
Supreme
Court Rules Thousands of Immigrants Can Be Detained Indefinitely. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Monday that
immigrants detained in the United States are not entitled to a bond hearing, a decision that means that the thousands of
people with open immigration cases who are currently in federal holding facilities can continue to be detained indefinitely.
The high court also ruled that federal courts lack the authority to grant class-wide relief to detainees. In other words,
if any detainees want to argue in the future that they have a right to a bond hearing, they will need to bring their cases
individually, despite the fact that immigrants are not entitled to counsel during immigration proceedings.
No, They're Not
Sending Their Best. America is one of the most welcoming nations on the planet, but you would never know it
listening to our mass media. [...] The likes of U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.), Ana Navarro on "The View," and
MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan have done very well for themselves in the United States, but they don't do a very good job of showing
their gratitude. Imagine if you invited someone over for dinner and they spent the night making snide comments about
your out-of-date kitchen. It's just not polite. Many of these figures wear the "child of immigrants" and
"hyphenated-American" labels like honorifics ("I love hyphens," Navarro says), a wise career move in a time that treats
borders as arbitrary lines and those who cross them illegally as more worthy than Americans. These super-citizens are
not shy about exercising their privileges. They never stop talking about their foreign background, which they use as a
cudgel against the native-born. They tend to become particularly voluble in the aftermath of politically charged events
with the potential to transform the culture and laws of the United States.
Supreme
Court rules noncitizens not entitled to bond hearings. On Monday, the United States Supreme Court ruled that
unlawful migrants to the United States are not entitled to a bond hearing. The opinion stems from the migration of
Antonio Arteaga-Martinez. Arteaga-Martinez, a Mexican Citizen, came to the United States unlawfully on four occasions
without inspection until May 2018, when Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a warrant for Arteaga-Martinez's
arrest after he had been living and working in the United States for almost six years. ICE's detention of
Arteaga-Martinez did not come with the opportunity for a bond hearing and he was set to be removed from the United States.
It
is time to admit that the American left is malevolent. From the moment Joe Biden illegitimately took office, he
opened the border to migrants from all over the world, over 175 countries, and secretly transports them to towns and cities
throughout America, amongst unsuspecting citizens. Thousands of them are ill with a variety of third world diseases and
of course covid. Thousands of them are vicious gang members, human sex traffickers and/or pedophiles. Thousands
of unaccompanied minors have been trafficked with the administration's knowledge and approval. All of the migrants pay
the Mexican drug cartels thousands of dollars to be "crossed over" into the US. The cartels are netting millions of dollars
a week in payments for getting migrants into America for what many of them believe will lead to citizenship and a free ride.
Of course, many of them are economic migrants who seek better and safer lives for themselves and their families. They are
people who are used to and willing to work. But the jobs they get are jobs American citizens might have had for better
wages. The Biden administration does not care about those American citizens who will be denied a living wage because
millions of migrants will take those jobs for less.
Border
Patrol cannot see path forward under Biden: 'There is no morale'. U.S. Border Patrol agents stationed along the
southern border have nothing left in the tank. For months, agents have warned that morale within the ranks of the
federal law enforcement organization is sinking, but the last shreds of spirit have since been dashed by outright animosity
from the Biden administration, agents told the Washington Examiner. "Under Biden, things are the worst they have
ever been by far," said one agent who is based in Arizona. "Agents are calling in all the time. You always hear,
'It doesn't matter,' or, 'What's the point?' in reference to doing our job. Agents are afraid of ending up on the news
for doing their job or getting in trouble for doing their job. There is no morale."
Florida
Governor Ron DeSantis Criticizes Texas Governor Greg Abbott for Refusing to Send Illegal Aliens Back to Mexico.
While Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is known for his staunch opposition to the Wuhan virus lockdowns, he has gradually built
a reputation as a budding immigration patriot. According to a report by Brandon Walters at Texas Scorecard, DeSantis is
pushing the envelope by criticizing Texas Governor Greg Abbott for his refusal to send illegal aliens back to Mexico.
DeSantis's statements came at a time when illegal border crossers are knifing through the southern border at alarming
levels. "They let them come across and then you give them to the feds, and the feds just release them anyways,"
DeSantis declared, per a report from Florida Politics. "What they need to do, Texas, is Texas should just send them
back across the border."
The Subordinate Citizen.
The Biden administration blasted the Trump southern border wall and canceled all further funding. Yet it just
appropriated $40 billion to Ukraine to ensure that it does not lose its border war against Russian aggression. That is
a tiny percentage of the federal budget. But the aid is full of symbolic irony, nonetheless. The
multibillion-dollar appropriation would have more than covered the completion of the entire wall along our own southern
border. An outside observer might conclude that the U.S. government intends to uphold the universal idea of national
sovereignty, internationally recognized borders, and the security of citizens inside their own country — as long
as they are not American citizens.
Biden
says nations 'need to halt the dangerous ways people are migrating' and announces plan to send refugees to
Spain. President Joe Biden tore into unlawful immigration in a speech at the Summit of the Americas where he
and other leaders vowed to crack down on human smuggling as they announced a new accord. Biden laced his remarks with
tough talk amid record immigration, addressing an issue that has caused his administration political problems from his first
days in office. 'We need to halt the dangerous and unlawful ways people are migrating,' he said. Biden intoned in
Los Angeles, where he is hosting the summit.

Texas
AG Calls New Court Ruling 'Massive Defeat' for Biden DHS on Border. As RedState readers know by now, the Biden
Administration's Department of Homeland Security is — to put it delicately — selective about when it
thinks agents should enforce immigration law on the border — and on Friday, a judge's decision put that on hold.
[Tweet] Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton had something to say in the wake of the ruling, in part calling the Abbott
administration's win a "massive defeat" on the DHS' shirking its role in "detain[ing] criminal illegals." [Tweet]
Billionaires
Beg Joe Biden to Loosen Rules for Foreign H-1B Visa Workers. A coalition of multinational corporations and the
United States Chamber of Commerce is begging President Joe Biden's administration to loosen rules for foreign H-1B visa
workers to pack the labor market with more foreign workers. In a letter to Biden's Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, the corporate coalition requests the administration allow the spouses and children of
foreign H-1B visa workers to take jobs in the U.S. labor market.
'Glam
migration:' The illegal immigrant wore Versace. A U.S. senator was stunned during his recent border trip when
he saw an illegal immigrant who'd just jumped the boundary in a Versace dress. Sen. James Lankford, fresh off a
Memorial Day trip to the border in Yuma, Arizona, reported back to colleagues this week on the piles of wall-building
materials he saw rusting in the elements, just a mile down the road from a gap in the border wall where migrants could pour
through with ease. The Oklahoma Republican said illegal crossers will step over the boundary and wait for Border Patrol
agents to come to pick them up, figuring — usually correctly — that they'll be processed and quickly
released into the U.S. to go on to their destinations.
Biden
Continues Obama's 'Fundamental Transformation' of America. Biden has abandoned any semblance of immigration
law. Hundreds of thousands of migrants are now crossing the southern border each month. More than 1 million
crossed the border illegally in 2021. Estimates place the number of people living in the U.S. illegally at approximately
11.5 million. If true, that population has increased by more than 10% in just one year. (Some experts say the
number is much higher. The Foundation for American Immigration Reform estimated the number of illegal immigrants to be more
than 12 million in 2017.) More than 1 million migrants have already entered the country illegally in the first
five months of 2022; Border Security reports that 267,175 illegal migrants were apprehended or detected last month. Another
caravan — anticipated to be the largest ever with up to 15,000 people — is headed to the U.S. border
now. What is Biden doing? Nothing.
Homeland
Security will transport migrants to Los Angeles and Dallas as they await deportation proceedings. The
Department of Homeland Security is reportedly planning to send migrants awaiting deportation proceedings deeper into the U.S,
and to cities including Los Angeles. It is one of a number of measures under consideration as U.S. authorities prepare
for the end of Title 42 and an expected surge in arrivals. It comes amid overcrowding at the border, where Customs and
Border Protection are already being forced to release migrants in ease conditions at some shelters. And a
thousands-strong caravan is making its way through Mexico. The new model would transport migrants to cities including
Albuquerque, Houston and Dallas, where DHS is already preparing shelters.
Just Stop
It! Open borders harm us in several ways. They damage the purpose of The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and
subsequent legislation that, through set-asides and hiring quotas, aimed to alleviate a century of discrimination to help
Black Americans rise in the economy more quickly and join the middle class. The left replaced the term "African
Americans" with "Persons of Color" to describe those entitled to benefit. This term greatly dilutes Black
representation in those efforts and broadly means anyone "not White." POC immigrants now take entry-level and blue-collar
jobs, displacing the very African Americans who were intended to benefit from these programs. We also face harm from an
uncontained flood of people who don't assimilate, including drug mules, child sex traffickers, and terrorists. Marxists
use illegals as mere pawns to overwhelm the system, leading to decline, and adding to spending and inflation. It has
nothing to do with compassion.
Mexico
waves through a 15,000-strong migrant caravan. Our friends the Mexicans, as one might call them, have shown
their "friendship" with the U.S., and more specifically the Biden administration, by waving through a huge migrant caravan
for illegal entry into the U.S. The caravan is headed to the States from southern Mexico, stretches 32 miles, and is
said to have up to 15,000 "asylum seekers," waving the flags of the countries they are desperate not to be sent back to.
Prior to that, the migrants had been holed up in Tapachula, supposedly awaiting their permits for work in Mexico, or asylum
claim adjudication, having largely been stopped and put there after illegally breaking through Mexico's Guatemalan border.
Now organizers of the caravan say Mexico is issuing the permits, whose chief value to the migrants is not the opportunity to work,
but as a travel pass. News outlets report that most migrants will ignore the work offer and move right on through to the U.S.
border. Once they illegally cross, they know that with Joe Biden's border policies, the goodies will flow, and they can
stay. Who'd want to stay and work a low-wage job in Mexico instead?
Why
isn't Mexico stopping the caravan? We just learned that a new migrant caravan is coming north. [...] Up here,
the impotent Biden administration is going to play word games (asylum seekers), dump this on the overwhelmed Border Patrol,
and put the illegal border crossers on a midnight plane to somewhere. [...] So what do we do now? First of all, we need
to confront the governments of Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua and tell them to stop it. Cuba is desperate for cash and
we could cancel all U.S.-Havana flights immediately. I'm convinced that the Castro regime is desperately trying to get
rid of people. Second, what about Mexico? The article points out that Mexican President Andres Manuel
Lopez-Obrador is trying to play the role of the humanitarian. Why doesn't he offer residence to the "caravan-istas"?
Invite them to stay in Mexico.
Mexican
President Calls for American Superstate, Open Borders. Mexico's president is reviving calls for a continental
superstate that would combine North American employers and South American employees — and sideline tens of
millions of middle-class Americans. "I will go in July to visit [President Joe Biden] at the White House and I want to
discuss with him the issue of the integration of all America," President Andrés Manuel López-Obrador said at a
press conference in Mexico's presidential palace. He continued: "My position is that, just as how the European
community was created ... we have to do that in America."
The Editor says...
Obviously AMLO wants Mexico's criminals to flow this way, and America's money to flow that way.
No, thanks. Build the wall! (And more prisons.)
Border Conveyor Belt Continues.
When the time came to finally board the idling charter bus, a Cuban named George who illegally swam the Rio Grande two days
earlier ran to be first in line and start his new "forever" life inside America. George staked his claim as some 200
other illegal border-crossers, many still carrying their belongings in plastic detention center bags, formed behind him three
and four abreast in a line stretching half a football field long. [...] The well-oiled process CIS observed in Del Rio gave
rise to scenes where incoming Border Patrol buses disgorge their passengers fresh from processing stations right next to outbound
Greyhound buses loading up with de facto immigrants heading to new American lives. On May 20, a Louisiana federal
judge ruled that the Biden administration can't kill the Title 42 expulsions, which also deny access to the U.S. asylum
system, and must for now continue expelling border-crossing aliens. But that ruling appears to be proving no imposition
at all for escalating numbers of them. A roaring, expanding conveyor belt of buses and airplanes is hauling thousands
of previously expellable crossers like George into American cities, out of ear shot or sight of the American public.
Biden's
Diabolical Plan: Bureaucrats To Grant Asylum, Not Judges. Biden has started the first phase of a program
in Texas to have government bureaucrats grant asylum, without having it adjudicated by a court. Such a program based on
government employees making the decisions without a judge or prosecutor would be very vulnerable to infiltration by
open-borders radicals and also to bribery. This would open the floodgates at the border even much wider than they are
already, making it nearly impossible to deport these bureaucrat-designated "asylees" in the future. This new, very
great threat to our national sovereignty is being implemented by edict, a rule change, not by changing the law. Texas
and other states have filed a lawsuit to have it stopped. We already have chaos at the border even with Title 42 still
in place. The Border Patrol has been turned into an organization that assists the cartels in helping mostly unqualified
asylum claimant to cross the border illegally, instead of protecting the border as is their original mission. Title 42
is supposed to require all illegal border crossers to be returned to Mexico, but Biden has made so many loopholes and
exceptions to the policy that a large proportion of them are still being released into the US.
Largest
ever migrant caravan begins walk across entire length of Mexico to U.S. border. The largest-ever migrant
caravan is beginning its trek to the US-Mexico border. The estimated number of migrants in the caravan ranges from
about 11,000 to 15,000. Most of them are women and children. The news of the caravan comes at a particularly awkward
time for the Biden administration. Biden's Summit of the Americas is supposed to begin Monday in Los Angeles. As
often happens with the Biden administration, details about the Summit are murky. As of the middle of last week, the
leaders who will attend has not been confirmed. The caravan plans to leave Tapachula, a city on the Mexico-Guatemala
border, on Monday, the same day the Summit of the Americas is set to begin. Other caravans have left from Tapachula in
the past but this one is said to be the largest one ever. The migrants in the caravan aren't just from Central America,
they are from countries around the world, from as far away as Africa and India.
The Editor says...
This influx would stop overnight if the U.S. government made it abundantly clear that [#1] anyone caught sneaking into this country will be deported to a remote

January 31, 2021, will be ineligible to vote or to receive government benefits of any kind.
Will the secret
New York migrant flights ever stop? As illegal migration at the southern border breaks new records, the Biden
administration has upped the frequency of its secret flights to an industrial scale. Migrant flights into New York have
ratcheted up in recent weeks to almost one per night, and now a new airport is being utilized to cater for the overflow, in
an apparent bid by the administration to avoid images of border chaos before the November mid-term elections. New York
Stewart International Airport, in the Hudson Valley, is taking up the slack for Westchester County Airport, according to
video provided to The [New York] Post by Republican gubernatorial hopeful Rob Astorino. "It's just an expansion of this
program and a second airport no one thought they would go through, either to be clandestine or because of a need for another
runway,' says Astorino.
Like
the US, England is being buried under illegal aliens and economic migrants. With Biden in office, America's
southern border has vanished entirely. Illegal aliens crossed the border over 1.6 million times in 2021 and, this year,
they're going to break that record, given that they're marching across the border at the rate of around 200,000 per month (a
number that may increase if Biden gets rid of the Title 42 health restriction). Once here, if the illegal aliens are caught,
the government feeds them, clothes them, gives them free baby formula (if they need it), and ships them across the country to
wherever they want to go. But believe it or not, we're the lucky ones. What's happening in Europe and, especially,
in England is infinitely worse.
Buried
News: Customs and Border Protection is recruiting single moms as 'asylum seekers' — in Mexico.
The New York Times did an interesting, but biased photo story of how illegal immigrants cross the border to claim asylum in
the U.S., one segment of a long chain of events that has seen the transport of more than a million so-called "asylum seekers"
into the U.S. in the Joe Biden era. [Excerpts omitted for brevity.] Did we read that right? Someone at Customs
and Border Protection is actually recruiting illegal migrants from a foreign country to come into the states to seek
"asylum"? Humanitarian exceptions? What if these people are bringing in COVID — or tuberculosis, monkey
pox, malaria, leishmanosis, or any of a host of diseases migrants are known to carry from their countries of orgin, if not
pick up while willingly placing themselves in the hands of human smugglers, who have zero concerns for migrant health?
The story does say that the migrants are tested for COVID when they are brought in, but it does not say that the migrants who
test positive for COVID are sent back.
Feds
bust extensive Uber smuggling ring at northern border. Federal authorities say Rajinder Pal Singh had figured
out a pretty sweet scam, smuggling illegal immigrants from India across the northern border and into the Seattle
area — by putting them in Ubers. Investigators revealed evidence of more than 90 Uber trips they say showed
patterns of smuggling that they connected to Mr. Singh from just one Uber account. And they traced a total of 17
accounts to his organization, according to court documents. Mr. Singh's arrest late last month underscored the
dangers and vulnerabilities at the northern border, far from the U.S.-Mexico boundary that gets most of the attention these days.
The
U.S. Government Pays to Bus In Thousands of Migrants over the Southern Border Daily. U.S. border officials are
quietly bussing a vast flood of wage-cutting, rent-spiking migrants into Americans' towns and cities, despite the
court-ordered preservation of the Title 42 barrier. "It's like 8,000 to 9,000 a day now," and there are more on the
way, migration monitor Todd Bensman told Breitbart News. U.S. border chief Alejandro Mayorkas and his pro-migration
deputies are using the Title 42 barrier to send some Central American single men and families back to Mexico. But
Mayorkas is cutting loopholes in the barrier to place everyone else on government-funded buses to cities and towns around the
United States, said Bensman, who works for the Center for Immigration Studies.
Our
Economic Misery Isn't an Accident, It's the Plan. Two million illegal aliens are expected to invade America
because the Biden administration is paying a whole lot of attention to keeping the border open. That's why it's busy
fighting in court to dump Title 42 so that every illegal alien who crosses the border will be sure to come here. When
an administration makes increasing the flow of illegal aliens a core legal priority for the DOJ, that means it's paying a
whole lot of attention to it. [...] The Biden administration doesn't believe that there should be a border. That's why
the border is open wider than Biden's brain on a Tuesday night.
Congressman:
Baby formula stocked at border for migrants 'like a Costco'. On a trip to visit the United States-Mexico border
this week, Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA) said he saw well-stocked warehouses with a variety of supplies including baby
formula. The facility for unaccompanied minors and families in Donna, Texas is stocked high "like a Costco" with baby
formula, Carter said in a Thursday interview with Fox News. While the border patrol facilities for migrants are
well-stocked, Texas is one of the states worst-affected by the baby formula shortage, according to data from the market
research group IRI. The congressman said he and his colleagues were specifically on the lookout for formula at the
border facilities.
Illegal
immigrant population soars to 11.6 million. President Joe Biden's open borders policies have led to a more than
10% surge in the United States's illegal immigrant population, according to a new review of federal data. Numbers
reviewed by the Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that the illegal population grew from 10.2 million when
Biden took office to 11.6 million in April. "This means that illegal immigrants accounted for some 1.35 million (about
two-thirds) of the two million growth in the total foreign-born population since President Biden took office," according to the
analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies. As a result, the foreign-born population in the nation, which includes
legal and illegal immigrants, is 47 million, or 14.3% of the total population, the highest in 112 years.
The Editor says...
The illegal immigrant population has been well over 11 million for
at least 12 years
and the actual number is probably closer to 30 million. None of the illegal aliens are leaving, at least not at the rate that new arrivals come in.
2 million
new faces in 16 months: The Biden era's foreign-born boom. In a new analysis for the Center for
Immigration Studies, my colleague Karen Zeigler and I show that the total foreign-born or immigrant population reached
47 million in April 2022 — the highest number ever in American history, and an increase of 2 million in just
the first 16 months of the Biden administration. These numbers are extraordinary, not only because they indicate that
America has lost control of its borders, but also because they raise profound questions about how many people the country can
successfully integrate. The new estimates are derived from the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS),
collected each month for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The foreign-born include all persons who were not US
citizens at birth.
Biden
to announce new plan for migration — at a summit Mexico is boycotting. Really? The guy who
invited 2 million illegal migrants in as "asylum seekers" is now wanting to keep them out? That's just a whiff of the
problem, here's the big one: Mexico has no intention of attending the conference. Mexico and a whole lot of the
rest of the 34 or so countries in the regional grouping are planning to boycott the gathering, because Biden has not invited
Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua to come. [...] U.S. officials, according to the Reuters report, are downplaying the possibility
of any problems to the plan with Mexico not in attendance. Yeah, sure. But with Mexico likely out, all we have
are questions as to what kind of migration plan is this?
Uvalde
Schools [have been] Locked Down at Least 48 Times This Academic Year. The Uvalde public school district is no stranger to
campus lockdowns. In October 2021, Mayor Don McLaughlin reported the district had been forced into lockdowns 48 times
during the first few months of the school year, largely due to human smuggler pursuits near campuses. At the time,
Uvalde Mayor McLaughlin joined with a commission of local government representatives of Kinney and Uvalde Counties to demand
action from the Texas Department of Emergency Management (TDEM) regarding the growing border crisis, Breitbart Texas' Randy
Clark reported. The county and city officials detailed the consequential impact of the border crisis on local resources.

Eagle Pass. The station is part of the Del Rio sector in Texas, which is one of the busiest. [Video clip]
A Dark Age
in America. Our southern border is nonexistent, and politicians are loath to do anything about it.
Illegal aliens pour across and then demand — as if it were their God-given right — support and
acceptance. If they're intercepted by Border Patrol, they get medical care and free transport to wherever they
want to go. Without background checks, security checks, or anything other than a rudimentary health screening, they are
handed documents telling them to report for a sanctuary hearing at some far-future date. Then they're released.
Of course, none will show up for that hearing. They will remain and be given driver's licenses, de facto voting rights,
EBT cards, housing, and ongoing medical care — all at taxpayer expense. And that's now, before Title 42
is repealed! Then a floodgate will open, exponentially compounding the problem and the cost. Children of illegals fill
our schools, slowing education as they are taught just enough English to be able to do their lessons at the expense of American
children. With the illegals flows a river of drugs. Every five minutes, one person in America dies of
fentanyl. Yet our government does nothing.
Immigration
Disappears From Kamala Harris' Public Schedule. It was her first overseas trip, and Vice President Harris,
recently deputized to address what the White House calls "the root causes of migration," was in Guatemala trying to break
through with a simple message. "Do not come," Harris told would-be migrants last June. "Do not come. The
United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our borders." They did not listen, or if any migrants did
hear Harris last year, many ignored her message. Just last month, according to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol, 234,088
migrants were apprehended at the southern border, the highest mark ever recorded.
Gov.
Abbott says he will send more than 400 buses of migrants to DC. Governor Greg Abbott said Monday [5/23/2022]
that Texas has been forced to 'fight' against the Biden administration regarding border security and said he wants to flood
Washington, D.C. with 450 buses of migrants so the nations' capital can experience what his state's communities are
facing. The governor, speaking at a press conference in Eagle Pass, Texas on Monday afternoon, said that the cities and
towns in his state are seeing 'illegal migrants dumped off in their communities' by the busloads every day. 'They had no
capability of dealing with them,' Abbott told the press gathered in Eagle Pass City Hall. 'And they talked about having to
put them on buses and send them up to San Antonio. I said, I've got a better idea — we're going to send them
to Washington, D.C.'
Want
to Visit America? Forget Getting a Visa. Just Walk Across the Border. [Scroll down] If a
Nigerian woman wants to visit her boyfriend in Atlanta, or Denver, for example, she will have to wait 760 days just for an
embassy appointment. A family from Colombia hoping to visit Disney World will wait 696 days for their visa
appointment. A physician in Mexico wanting to attend an American medical conference won't get an appointment for 570 days,
long after the medical meeting is over. Yet the irony is that if that same physician, family, or woman made their way to
the U.S. southern border, they could sashay across, and if even apprehended crossing, they could claim persecution, ask for
asylum, and be granted entry into the U.S. They would also receive a welcome basket of goodies including food stamps, Medicaid
health insurance, Social Security income, and other forms of assistance, including free education for their children.
It
Sure Looks Like Joe Biden Is Trying to Purposely Destroy the Country. Biden and his handlers continue to fight
tooth and nail to completely destroy the border, and that's assuming they haven't already completed the task. The
Border Patrol is essentially ineffective at this point, with hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants crossing a
month. Facilities are full, local cities have no resources to help, and deportations are happening at a painstakingly
slow rate compared to the overall influx. And what's Biden doing? He's still fighting to lift Title 42,
which as I noted above, only remains in place because Republican-led states have won battles in court.

Biden administration's move to end the restriction on Monday in response to lawsuits from two dozen Republican states, led by
Arizona, Louisiana and Missouri.

status in 2007 with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). However, when seeking to obtain his
Georgia driver's license, Patel had erroneously indicated that he was already a citizen and so his discretionary adjustment
had been denied. The case of Patel v. Garland was heard by SCOTUS after Patel had appealed to the 11th
Circuit Court following the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) attempting to deport him and his wife. Writing for
the majority, Justice Amy Coney Barrett was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito
and Brett Kavanaugh in ruling the matter was outside their purview because Congress had set forth the rules Attorney General
Merrick Garland's Justice Department was required to follow.
You
are paying for migrants to take charter flights. Secret government charter flights paid for by taxpayer funds
are quietly transporting migrants from the southern border to other cities across the U.S. The flights, which take off
from border cities like El Paso, Texas, are taking busloads of illegal aliens to various cities around the country including
Jacksonville, Florida, Alexandria, Louisiana and Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Lawmakers are demanding more transparency
about the flights and where the migrants are going, with some state and regional leaders alleging they were not informed
about the relocation plans.
DeSantis
Plans to Use Funds to Bus Illegal Immigrants Dumped in Florida to Biden's Delaware. No one has "done more to
help the cartels" than President Biden with his embrace of radical open-border policies, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R)
said on Wednesday, noting that Americans are "bracing" for the administration's repeal of Title 42 and warning that his
administration plans to bus illegal immigrants dumped in Florida to Biden's Delaware. Americans are "bracing" for the
Biden administration to end the Trump-era Title 42 at the southern border, which allowed agents to more easily turn illegal
immigrants away. Last week, a federal judge in Louisiana extended the temporary restraining order preventing the Biden
administration from ending the rule.
The Editor says...
If the illegal aliens have been moved to Florida, rather than being deported,
then the federal government has abdicated its responsibility to deport them, and (it seems to me) the states should be
legally able to deport the aliens to Central or South America, if that's what it takes to send a clear message.
Is Biden's 'Success'
Our Mess? Apparently, what most in the country see as disasters, Biden envisions as success. Take the
border — or rather its disappearance. Never in U.S. history has an administration simply canceled
immigration laws, opened the border, and welcomed in millions of illegal aliens. All arrive illegally, and without
audit, or vaccinations and tests in times of a pandemic. Cartels now import lethal drugs at will into the United
States. We have no idea how many terrorists walk across the border each day. Almost all the millions who break
the law by entering are poor, without high school diplomas or English skills, and in dire need of massive federal and state
housing, food, education, legal, and health subsidies.
Border
Patrol Using Rare 'Parole' Exemption to Quickly Release Tens of Thousands of Illegal Aliens Into US. U.S.
Border Patrol has started to use, on a mass scale, a special "parole" exception that was previously used sparingly to allow
tens of thousands of illegal immigrants to stay in the United States for at least a year, The Epoch Times has learned.
Under parole status, illegal immigrants don't have to provide Border Patrol with evidence of credible fear for asylum and are
permitted entry without any preconditions, except a quick background check in the U.S. crime database. A Customs and
Border Protection spokesman said the parole designation allows for overwhelmed Border Patrol stations to process large numbers
of illegal aliens "significantly faster" and release them into the country much faster than the more involved current system —
which releases an illegal alien with a notice to appear that includes a court date for their first immigration hearing.
Migrant
Encounters Hit Record High As Biden Looks To End Title 42 Next Week. Migrant encounters at the southern border
hit a record high in April, according to new filings from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Fox News' Bill Melugin
reported. The record-setting month comes as President Joe Biden looks to end Title 42, a Trump-era policy allowing
Border Patrol to turn away migrants at the border due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Biden
Subsidizes Business with 35K Foreign Workers to Hire for U.S. Jobs as Nearly 12M Americans Remain Jobless.
President Joe Biden is subsidizing businesses with 35,000 more foreign H-2B visa workers to hire for non-agricultural jobs in
the United States, even as nearly 12 million Americans remain jobless. On Monday, Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced that the administration would begin allowing businesses to hire up to 35,000
additional foreign H-2B visa workers for nonagricultural jobs in construction, hospitality, and landscaping.
234,088
migrants [were] encountered at southern border in April, [the] most in a century. The number of migrants
encountered attempting to enter the United States illegally from Mexico rose in April, surpassing all previous records over
the past century, an indication of the scale of the illegal immigration crisis at the border. U.S. border officials
intercepted 234,088 migrants attempting to enter the country illegally last month, according to a federal court document
obtained by the Washington Examiner late Monday [5/16/2022]. In the first 15 full months of President Joe Biden's
term in office, federal law enforcement at the southern border have stopped more than 2.75 million people attempting to cross
into the United States without permission.
Dozens
of migrants released onto streets of El Paso as shelters near capacity. About 100 immigrants claiming asylum
were released into downtown El Paso, Texas, Sunday as federal facilities and nonprofit migrant shelters reach capacity in the
border city, according to the El Paso Times. The migrants were released before dawn, and some quickly made plans to
travel on to other cities, while others lingered on the streets of El Paso or at the airport — too broke to leave
or book a hotel. These immigrants have cleared the initial steps in their asylum case and are authorized to be in the
US until a judge makes a ruling, which can often take years. When they are released by federal authorities, the
migrants give Immigration and Customs Enforcement an address where they can be found, are often tracked by ICE and must check
in as they move through the legal process.
Senator
Probes Biden Admin for Offloading Baby Formula to Illegal Immigrants. Congress is investigating the Biden
administration for reportedly shipping pallets of baby formula to illegal immigrants, according to a copy of the probe
obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Sen. Ron Johnson (R., Wis.) is asking the Department of Homeland
Security and the Food and Drug Administration to provide information on the steps it is taking to combat the nationwide
shortage of baby formula in light of reports that illegal immigrants detained by federal authorities are receiving "pallets"
of formula at detention centers. "As hard-working American parents struggle to find infant formula, a recent news
report indicated that illegal immigrants detained by Border Patrol may not be experiencing these difficulties," Johnson
writes in a letter sent Friday to Biden administration leaders. "A member of Congress reportedly obtained photographs
from a Border Patrol agent showing that shelves at a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) detention center in McAllen, Texas,
are stocked with 'pallets' of baby formula."
The Absolute
Lunacy of Catch and Release. The Gordian knot of our nation's immigration crisis involves few policy disasters
more burdensome than "catch-and-release." While many Americans have heard the phrase, most do not understand why it is
such a problem. Catch-and-release has become an umbrella term for a host of policies and practices that allow for a
porous border and let untold numbers of illegal aliens live in the country with little fear of deportation. It
specifically refers to the scenario in which law enforcement officers apprehend someone here illegally. Instead of
detaining the person until his case may be heard before an immigration judge, he is instead released into the country until
he's notified of a hearing date. A fishing term, catch-and-release came into political practice during the
administration of George W. Bush. Michael Chertoff, Bush's homeland security chief, had pledged in testimony before the
Senate Judiciary Committee to "return every single illegal entrant — no exceptions." While Chertoff pushed for
more detentions, catch-and-release made a comeback under Barack Obama and was not threatened again until Donald Trump
targeted it as one of the centerpieces of this immigration enforcement push.
Migration
crisis has worsened despite Biden's pledge to address 'root causes'. President Joe Biden pledged to end the
migration crisis by addressing the root causes that have led millions to flee Central America for the U.S. southern
border. Sixteen months into Biden's tenure, though, the situation at the U.S. border with Mexico is far worse, and the
administration's efforts to improve conditions in migrants' home countries have not amounted to much. Encounters of
illegal immigrants at the southern border are at all-time highs.
Biden
administration makes sure that children of illegal immigrants are well fed. This week, the US Department of
Health and Human Services launched a page online entitled Fact Sheet: Helping Families Find Formula During the
Infant Formula Shortage. The shortage is based on a recall by Abbott Nutrition on much of its powdered formula lines
after four infants fell ill and two sadly died. The manufacturer claims there was no connection between the illnesses,
deaths and their product. They are waiting on the all-clear from the Food and Drug Administration to resume production.
Lifting
Title 42 Will Mean Fewer Border Patrol Agents in Field. Border security experts expect the nation will bear the
consequences of more illegal immigration whether the Biden administration ends a key public health measure by the end of the
month or does it later. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced last month that the policy, known as
Title 42, would expire May 23. President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security has estimated that could
mean an influx of 18,000 migrants a day who cross the border illegally.
Biden
Admin Sends Massive Amount Of Baby Formula To Illegal Immigrants. Under the Biden admin, America has been put
last in every way possible. Recent reports from the Southern Border have revealed that the Biden admin has been sending
pallets of baby formula to migrant holding facilities. The shipments of baby formula to the illegal immigrants come in
the midst of a severe shortage of baby formula across the country. Since April, the quantity of infant formula
available across the country has dropped by forty percent, leaving parents of newborns scrambling to find nourishment that
they can give to their children. In addition, Abbott Laboratories issued a recall for Similac, which has made the
shortage of formula even worse during the past few months.
Border
detention center looks stocked with baby formula despite shortage. As American families deal with a shortage of
baby formula across the US, a Florida Republican lawmaker has released images of dozens of boxes of the coveted product at a
migrant processing facility near the US-Mexico border. Rep. Kat Cammack shared pictures of "pallets" of infant
formula at the Ursula Migrant Processing Center in McAllen, Texas on her Twitter and Facebook pages Wednesday [5/11/2022].
"The first photo is from this morning at the Ursula Processing Center at the U.S. border. Shelves and pallets packed
with baby formula," she wrote in a tweet accompanying side-by-side photographs of full and bare shelves. "The second is
from a shelf right here at home. Formula is scarce. This is what America last looks like."
Whistleblower
Confirms Brian Craig Was Right About Baby Formula Shortage! Steve Kane Radio Show co-host Brian Craig
speculated on May 10 that he believes that the federal government is stockpiling baby formula in order to provide it to
illegal aliens crossing the border. Well, lo and behold, just ONE day later on May 11, Florida Congresswoman Kat
Cammack informed the world that a border patrol whistleblower confirmed that Brian was exactly right. A photo was provided
of the Ursula Processing Center in Texas showing full shelves of baby formula.
Lawmaker
Says Migrants Are Getting 'Pallets' Of Baby Formula Amid Nationwide Shortage. Migrants are receiving ample
supplies of baby formula, according to Republican Florida Rep. Kat Cammack, while Americans are experiencing severe
formula shortages. Photos allegedly taken by a Border Patrol agent at the Ursula Processing Center in McAllen, Texas
showed fully stocked shelves of baby formula supposedly given to migrants, according to a Wednesday Twitter post by
Cammack. The photos come as Americans across the country are seeing empty shelves where stores used to have baby
formula as a result of the supply chain crisis and product recalls.
GOP rep says
illegal migrants sent 'pallets' of hard-to-find baby formula. Pallets of baby formula are being sent to holding
facilities at the border amid a shortage that has seen many parents unable to find it at their local stores, according to a
GOP representative. "They are sending pallets, pallets of baby formula to the border," Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla.,
said in a video posted to Facebook Wednesday. "Meanwhile, in our own district at home, we cannot find baby formula."
Cammack posted pictures to social media of empty formula shelves in Florida next to the pallets of food being sent to the
border, saying in the video that a concerned border patrol agent sent her the image.
Zero
Horsepower: Media-Driven Scandal Leaves Border Patrol Agents Without Critical Tool. The Border Patrol
agents cleared of criminal wrongdoing in the wake of a media-driven frenzy over images falsely suggesting they whipped
Haitian migrants are nonetheless prohibited from riding horses, hobbling their ability to secure swaths of the border
inaccessible by car, according to a Border Patrol union representative. All of the agents implicated in the controversy
have been cleared by the Department of Homeland Security to carry out most of their professional duties, according to Chris
Cabrera, a spokesman for the National Border Patrol Council and Local 3307.
Joe Biden's puppeteers, for whom none of us voted, are doing everything they can to make bad problems worse. DEA
Quietly Removes Narco-Busting Aircraft From Mexico As Drug Overdoses Skyrocket. As overdose-induced deaths
skyrocket to record highs in the U.S, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has quietly relocated a plane fundamental to
anti-narcotics operations in Mexico, according to Reuters. The DEA plane was moved to Texas after Mexican officials
revoked its parking spot, according to an anonymous U.S. government official and two security sources, Reuters
reported. The move coincides with new data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that shows
over 100,000 Americans have died of drug overdoses in 2021, which is a 15% increase from 2020 and a 30% increase from 2019
driven largely by the the use of fentanyl and methamphetamine. China is the primary source of fentanyl and
fentanyl-related substances trafficked into the U.S., and the drug is often smuggled into the country at the southern border,
according to the DEA. Border officials have seized record amounts of fentanyl from traffickers in 2022.
Garland
says judges may consider criminal illegal immigrants' mental health when considering asylum claims. Attorney
General Merrick Garland on Monday said that immigration judges can now consider the mental health status of an illegal
immigrant convicted of an aggravated felony when considering their asylum claim or whether to withhold their
deportation — overruling a prior decision by a top immigration appeals board. The Immigration and
Nationality Act makes illegal immigrants ineligible for both asylum and withholding of removal — where illegal
immigrants are not returned because they have a fear of persecution if returned to their country of origin — if
they have been convicted of a "particularly serious crime" that constitutes a danger to the community.
Biden
is a human- and drug-trafficking monster. Starting on the day he was illegitimately inaugurated, Joe Biden
began his joint operation with the drug cartels that control the border between the US and Mexico. By stopping the
building of the border wall (and leaving the paid-for supplies to rust in the desert) he declared the border open to all
comers, luring thousands of naïve migrants wanting a better life to risk their lives to get here. But the opened
border was open as well to the cartels that traffic in drugs and humans, especially young girls. Biden effectively went
into business with the most brutal, barbaric people on the planet. These criminal organizations long ago discovered
that they could double the massive profits they rake in from drug smuggling by trafficking human beings. Joe Biden
joined forces with the most lethal criminal organizations on day one of his presidency. He invited disaffected migrants
from around the world to flock to our southern border; they would be welcomed he said and indeed they have been, all two
millions-plus of them.
White
House blew off public input on policy extending work permits for illegal immigrants. The Biden administration
cut corners in its rush to announce new rules extending work permits for foreigners in the U.S., including many illegal
immigrants, and the divergence from standard procedures could imperil the legality of the policy. Not only did Homeland
Security dispense with the usual notice-and-comment period for new regulations, but the White House Office of Management and
Budget, which gives final approval to rules, blew off a required meeting with stakeholders, according to would-be
attendees. "This entire regulatory effort is a complete disregard of the Administrative Procedure Act, and they're
doing this basically to cover their tracks and avoid accountability for a lot of the policies they've instituted," said
Robert Law, director of regulatory affairs at the Center for Immigration Studies, who requested the meeting to share feedback
on the new policy.
US
billionaires' demand for 'golden passport' schemes that sell citizenships to 'safe' countries for up to $6.5 million.
Soaring numbers of wealthy Americans are buying 'golden passports' that grant them citizenship to New Zealand, Portugal and
other 'safe' countries over fears of impending civil war in their home country. Henley & Partners, a firm that helps
the wealthy shop around for citizenship across the globe, said sales to American nationals worth between $50 million and $20 billion
have shot up more than 337 percent since 2019, Business Insider reported. Countries involved — including
Portugal, Malta, New Zealand and Austria offer citizenship or visas that lead to citizenship in return for heavy investment
in the host national, and a visit of just a few days there each year.

the lawyers' group is funneling taxpayers' money to organizations that encourage and fund illegal immigration.
Mr. Paxton asked the bar to turn over its charitable giving lists for the past 10 years, as well as any documents
detailing how those decisions were made. He said he's received complaints from Rep. Troy Nehls, Texas Republican,
and members of the public about the bar foundation's behavior.
Migrants Bused To
DC Don't Stay There. Here's Where They're Going. Roughly 40 migrants arrived in Washington Wednesday
[5/4/2022] morning on buses chartered from Texas as part of Gov. Greg Abbott's effort to bring migrants to the nation's
capital, and each of them told the Daily Caller News Foundation that they had no plans to stay. Texas Gov. Greg
Abbott pledged to bus migrants to Washington on April 6 after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) announced
that Title 42, the policy used to quickly expel certain migrants during the COVID-19 pandemic, will end May 23.
However, the migrants on the bus Wednesday told the DCNF they were heading to Florida, Maine, New York and Kentucky. One
group of men from Cuba and Venezuela said they were going to Florida, and one of them told the DCNF he was going to Miami.
DHS
Secretary Admits Scale of Illegal Alien Crisis, 1.5 million Unlawful Border Entrants Since January 21st. The
scale of the illegal alien influx into the United States is starting to get more attention. One of the reasons for the
increased spotlight is the scale of the numbers DHS is forced to admit. In this brief video segment DHS Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas admits since January 21st: 836,000 released illegal aliens, plus 207,000 unaccompanied children (UAC's),
plus 200k to 400,000 that got away and avoided detention. Add that up and we have 1.3 to 1.6 million illegal aliens
through the southern border in the last three months.
At
King Ranch, migrant waves are threatening a Texas institution. [Scroll down] But King Ranch is in
trouble, and it's not from drought or cattle prices. The sprawling South Texas ranch is being overrun with migrants
traveling up from the U.S. border to Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and other points north. If King Ranch is in trouble,
Texas is in trouble. On a recent tour of the Rio Grande Valley, the Texas Public Policy Foundation's Border Security
Coalition learned of the sprawling ranch's new challenges. They range from migrants traveling through the property on
foot — often with fatal consequences, in a land that was once known as the Wild Horse Desert for its
inhospitality, to cars, trucks and vans attempting to evade law enforcement by driving through fences, gates and even bar
ditches. Sometimes, the heat from their catalytic converters causes brush fires — fires that can quickly spread.
Homeland
Security Secretary Mayorkas Says DHS Prepared to Facilitate Import of 500,000 Illegal Aliens Per Month. While
appearing on an ironically named CNN broadcast "The State of Our Union", Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas tells
John King's ex-wife, that for several months ("since Sept 2021") DHS has been preparing to start handling and processing
18,000 illegal aliens per day (540,000/mo) as soon as CDC Title 42 is lifted. If DHS estimates are accurate, between
now and the November mid-term election, DHS will import an additional 3,000,000 illegal aliens from various nations around
the world, through the U.S-Mexico border. Cumulatively, this arrival estimate will put the number of illegal aliens
arriving in the United States during Joe Biden's first two years in office somewhere north of 10 million people. For
scale, that's an imported group of illegal aliens three times the size of the population of Mississippi.
[Video clip] If his own estimates are correct, in combination with prior arrivals, the aggregate number of illegal
aliens will easily exceed 50 million by the end of the year; more than twice the population of Pennsylvania and Ohio combined.
Our
Immigration System Isn't Broken, Democrats Are. Our immigration system worked just fine (not perfectly, mind
you, but fine) until a few years ago. What happened then? Democrats decided to stop deportations in any real
way. Yes, Democrats had already screwed it up by introducing the concept of birthright citizenship — meaning
anyone born here to illegal aliens was given citizenship, a concept so incredibly stupid it's only been adopted by third
world hell-holes and the United States, thanks to Democrats. But the stopping of deportations made things exponentially
worse. Sanctuary cities and states made it clear to would-be illegal aliens that the thousands of dollars they were
thinking about dropping on the drug cartels to smuggle them or their children several thousand miles would not be in
vain. The odds of them being returned to wherever they're from if they made it to, say, California were slim to none,
even if they committed heinous crimes, because California changed its laws to protect non-citizens over citizens. Kill
a citizen and you might face deportation after a prison sentence, but rob a liquor store or drive drunk repeatedly, abuse a
child or spouse? Meh, the chances the state bothers to call federal immigration authorities increases only slightly,
but still don't register in any real way.
DHS
[is] expecting up to 18K migrants daily once Title 42 is lifted: Mayorkas. As many as 18,000 migrants
could cross the southern border daily once the Trump-era Title 42 health regulation is lifted, increasing the strain on
federal officials already stretched thin trying to contain the crisis, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
admitted on Sunday [5/1/2022]. "Title 42 is a public health authority. So what we started to do in September of
last year was prepare for its end. ... We're not projecting 18,000, but what we do in the department is we plan for different
scenarios, so we're ready for anything," Mayorkas said on CNN's "State of the Union." When host Dana Bash pressed
Mayorkas on if the Department of Homeland Security would be able to handle that kind of surge, he said the department would
be prepared — but admitted the system would be under "extraordinary strain."

Migrants Cross Heavily Polluted Border River into California. El Centro Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended
a group of more than 50 migrants after they illegally crossed the New River into California. Officials called the river
"one of the most polluted bodies of water in North America." El Centro Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gregory K. Bovino
tweeted a video showing a group of more than 50 migrants illegally crossing a polluted border river from Mexico into California.

Takeaways as House Republicans Accuse Homeland Security Chief of 'Intentional' Border Crisis. According to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection, agents last month logged over 221,000 "encounters" with illegal aliens along the border, a 33%
jump from February. In testimony before the House Judiciary Committee [4/28/2022], Mayorkas argued that the situation
at the border is under "operational control," as the law requires. Republicans on the committee repeatedly rejected
this claim, some saying President Joe Biden's appointee should be impeached and removed for intentionally neglecting his duty
under the law. They pointed to the huge increase in illegal immigrants trying to cross into America and what they said
is a lack of policy to address the real issues driving the crisis.
Critics
Blast Biden Admin Attempt to Use Veteran Resources for Border Crisis. During his recent testimony before
Congress, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas informed lawmakers that the Biden administration was
considering diverting resources from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to deal with Biden's border debacle. This
includes not just funding but also VA nurses and doctors who are tasked with caring for America's veterans, and who may now
be sent to care for illegal immigrants. It's a ludicrous idea and a terrible decision that Biden seems ready to
make. Veterans' health care has struggled in the past — notably during the last time Biden was in the White
House as Vice President in the Obama administration. America's veterans deserve the best possible care as a small
benefit in return for their service to our country and defense of our freedom. But Biden thinks those who care for
veterans can just be shuffled around as his administration flails about trying to handle the border crisis his policies
created. One that's about to get much worse if Biden succeeds in terminating Title 42.
Mayorkas
looks to divert VA funding to illegal immigrants. When Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently
unveiled his "six pillar plan" for dealing with the crisis on our southern border, he certainly didn't mention this truly
awful idea. During his recent testimony before Congress, Mayorkas slipped in one option that Joe Biden is reportedly
considering. In order to provide better care for the tens of thousands of illegal aliens streaming across the border,
the White House is looking at the possibility of diverting funding from the Veterans Administration for that situation.
Additionally, some of the doctors and nurses tasked with caring for our veterans could be reassigned to providing care for
the illegals.
Republicans
tears into DHS Secretary Mayorkas for 'deliberately trying to overwhelm the US with millions of illegal
migrants'. Representative Jim Jordan accused on Thursday the Biden administration of 'deliberately' and
'intentionally' causing the southern border crisis as Republicans tore into Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
for being 'out of touch' and a 'traitor.' The House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member said during his opening
statement that Mayorkas will face questions on why he implemented policies that led to the chaos. 'It's intentional, it
has to be,' Jordan said at the top of his remarks to the body on Thursday morning [4/28/2022].
Biden's
open border: One of the most successful voter drives in Democrats' history. To fully understand how
Democrats plan to turn America into a single-party state, take a look at two of their seemingly disparate actions shortly
after President Biden's inauguration. In Washington, Democrats immediately pushed legislation to fundamentally take
over state-run elections to greatly loosen voter registration rules. While GOP senators stalled the bill in January,
Democrats have vowed to enact the unprecedented federalization, somehow, someday. At the southern border,
Mr. Biden has illegally opened the gates to just about anyone — be they drug and sex traffickers, or migrant
job seekers, or sex offenders or other criminals. The brutal Mexican drug cartels are getting richer. Their
Chinese-produced fentanyl is killing record numbers of Americans. Official count of people illegally entering the U.S.
is in the millions in 2021-22 and will go even higher the rest of Mr. Biden's term because he wants it to. Take
the two separately or together — federalized ballot counting and opened borders — and you've got
yourself a successful Democratic voter drive.
[There
is] Not enough transportation out of border towns for migrants crossing en masse. Airports and bus companies
are struggling to keep up with the transportation needs of southern border towns strained by the number of migrants released
by the Biden administration after crossing the border without authorization. The shortages in transportation can mean
that migrants have nowhere to go during the day or overnight, imposing new difficulties for residents of places like Eagle
Pass, the remote Texas border town that has become ground zero of the migration crisis in recent weeks. "This border
issue — it's a mess. I would describe it as chaos right now," Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas said.
"You have large groups coming in. It's become normal to see a group of 20 people on Main Street, at Dairy Queen,
at the lake. A lot of them have been released. They're just walking around our city."
Illegal
immigrant population grew by 1 million in Biden's first year, analysis finds. The illegal immigrant population
in the United States increased by roughly 1 million during President Joe Biden 's first year in office, according to a new
analysis. A study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform viewed by Fox News estimates that the population
of illegal immigrants had jumped from 14.5 million in 2020 up to 15.5 million. The analysis from the conservative group
found that the increased numbers cost taxpayers at least $143.1 billion, a $9.4 billion increase from 2020.
Illegal
immigrant population increased by 1 million in Biden's first year: analysis. The number of illegal immigrants
living in the United States increased by approximately a million in the first year of the Biden administration, and cost the
American taxpayer an additional $9.4 billion, according to a new analysis by a conservative group. The study, an early
copy of which was obtained by Fox News Digital, was written by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) which
advocates for lower levels of immigration overall. The study estimates that there are approximately 15.5 million
immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, up from 14.5 million in 2020. Other estimates have typically put that number
at around 11 million for years, but immigration hawks have expressed skepticism that the number has stayed flat given the
increased activity at the border.
Report:
Illegal Immigration Grew by One Million in Biden's First Year, Costing Taxpayers $9.4 Billion. The Federation

Federal
judge grants temporary restraining order to STOP the Biden administration lifting Title 42 at the border. A
federal judge in Louisiana has agreed to issue a temporary restraining order to keep Title 42, the Center for Disease
Control's (CDC) Covid-19 border restriction, in place after a lawsuit from Missouri, Louisiana and Arizona. 'This is a
huge victory for border security, but the fight continues on,' Missouri attorney general Eric Schmitt wrote on Twitter
announcing the news. 'I am so proud of the lawyers from our office who just got a Temporary Restraining Order to keep
Title 42 in place. We will continue to fight the Biden administration's open border policies,' Arizona attorney general
Mark Brnovich wrote on Twitter. Nineteen other states have signed onto the lawsuit since the three states originally
filed it.

to Hear Case Over Joe Biden Ending 'Remain in Mexico' Border Policy. The United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS)
is scheduled to hear a case on Tuesday that will decide whether President Joe Biden illegally terminated the Migration
Protection Protocols, known as former President Trump's "Remain in Mexico" program. In 2019, Trump instated the Remain
in Mexico program that helped effectively eliminate the policy of Catch and Release at the U.S.-Mexico border. Rather
than apprehending and releasing border crossers into the U.S. interior, the program required officials to return border
crossers to Mexico while awaiting their asylum and immigration hearings in U.S. courts. On June 1, 2021, Biden's
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued a memorandum terminating Remain in Mexico.
Top
House GOP leadership sends letter to Mayorkas calling him "unsuitable for office". They aren't
wrong. More than 50 House Republicans, including top leadership, signed a letter to DHS Secretary Mayorkas in which
they called him unsuitable for office. Essentially they accuse him of a dereliction of duty. Who can blame
them? They stop short of calling for him to step down, which is a shame. Instead they ask for answers to a series
of questions. The letter will not change anything, unfortunately. Republican lawmakers have questioned Mayorkas
and criticized him since the Biden border crisis got underway. It does no good. He ignores Congressional
criticism. He isn't going to be fired because he is doing as Biden wants him to do, which is to allow illegal migrants
to cross the border and remain in the United States.
Coming
to America: Food Insecurity Is Inevitable. There is an unprecedented crisis on our southern border as an
invasion of illegal immigrants continues to pour into our country. This is leading to a massive increase in illegal
drugs, which is contributing to a record number of drug overdose deaths. Fueled by a rise in illegal drugs, illegal
immigrants and "woke" prosecutors in urban areas, violent crime is skyrocketing in America.
White
House continues clandestine migrant flights to NYC area. A plane full of migrants was unloaded and dispersed to
various locations in the New York City area Friday night under cover of darkness, the latest in a series of clandestine
flights authorized by the White House. The flights resumed earlier this month after a Post exposé led to their
suspension last year. On Friday, the Post watched as a group of migrants disembarked from an iAero Airways flight from
Jacksonville, Fla. that landed at Westchester County Airport at 9:48 p.m.
Biden
to Dems: We're ending Title 42 no matter how much you complain. That collective gulp you hear comes from
incumbent Democrats checking to see if it's too late in the midterm cycle to retire. Politico reports that Joe Biden
will go full speed ahead on his decision to end Title 42 on the southern border, which used the pandemic to eject
undocumented border-crossers rather than the normal catch-and-release policies preferred by Biden. His own party has
lost confidence in Biden's ability to manage the border crisis, which Politico acknowledges [...]
6,000
Migrants in Tijuana Waiting to Rush U.S.-Mexico Border When Joe Biden Ends Title 42. President Joe Biden's top
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials are privately admitting that up to 6,000 foreign nationals are in Tijuana, Mexico,
waiting to rush the United States-Mexico border when the president ends the Title 42 public health authority on May 23.
Sources close to Breitbart News said DHS officials noted that 3,000 to 6,000 foreign nationals are in shelters in Tijuana —
the Mexican city just across the southern border from San Diego, California — waiting for Biden's scheduled end to Title 42.
Tidal
Wave Nears Border, but Team Biden Goes Full Steam Ahead. A disaster is looming. President Joe Biden
appears to be going full steam ahead on ending Title 42. This is the health policy, created in the 1940s and implemented by
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under President Donald Trump, that allowed the swift deportation of illegal
immigrants during the pandemic to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. It has been one of the few things keeping
the exploding southern border numbers under even the slightest control during the Biden presidency. The administration
announced it would end Title 42 on May 23, but according to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, it is starting
to peel it away even sooner.
The
deadly cost of illegal aliens in America. Aside from being potential Democrat voters, illegal aliens offer
little to America. We're constantly told they do the jobs Americans won't do, but that's just ex post facto
rationalization. Either Americans will do the jobs if illegal aliens won't or Congress will be pushed to change quotas
for those who can enter legally. So that's not a benefit. The illegal aliens whose biggest criminal activity is
breaking and entering into America create slums, drive down wages, destroy schools, suck up welfare, and bring new and ugly
diseases into America. They are expensive and destructive. Meanwhile, the professional criminal element floods
America with deadly drugs, engages in sex-trafficking, rapes women and children, and kills people through drunk driving and
out-and-out murder. And all of them destroy the property and livelihoods of those people unlucky enough to live along
the border while Biden is destroying that border. There is no benefit to Americans from illegal immigration.
(Planned, legal immigration is a different story.) For the illegal aliens, the calculation is entirely different.
Once they make it into America, they get care packages, welfare, phones, free transportation, free education for their
children, and health benefits, as well as being hooked into job networks for illegal aliens.
Title
42 is about more than just COVID cases. One of the most striking things about our political class is how few
have visited our southern border — including Joe Biden. This means that, when Biden talks airily about
removing Title 42 controls over entry in America, he has no idea that a lot more than COVID is coming across the
border. Some senators are taking notice. [...] Perhaps Biden would if he'd ever bothered to go to the border.
There's no indication that Biden has been to the border even once in the past decade and more. That also means he's
never met with overwhelmed local residents or our courageous, exhausted border patrol. Likewise, Vice President Harris
has never effectively acted on Biden's or our behalf in dealing with the major health, cartel-based drug- or
human-trafficking situation, or the abandonment of toddlers and other children at the border.
Democrats:
We'll Keep Border Barrier If Republicans OK More Legal Migration. Democrats and their business-backed allies are hinting
they want the Republicans to okay more legal migration in exchange for keeping border barriers against illegal migration. "I don't
think there's any incentive for the Republicans to deal," amid Democratic threats to lift the Title 42 border barrier against migration,
responded Jessica Vaughan, the policy studies director at the Center for Immigration Studies. "The Republicans know enough to insist on
a clean extension of Title 42, not one encumbered with the Democrats' wish list items," she said, [...]
The Editor says...
This is no bargain. There are no "border barriers against illegal migration." The border has been all but
completely wide open since Biden was given the office of President.
Tenth
Migrant Bus Arrives in Washington D.C.. True to his word, Texas Governor Greg Abbott continues to send buses of
illegal migrants to President Biden's D.C. doorstep. The Lone Star gov has now sent a total of ten buses from the
southern border. "By busing migrants to Washington, D.C., the Biden Administration will be able to more immediately
meet the needs of the people they are allowing to cross our border," Abbott said last week. "Texas should not have to
bear the burden of the Biden Administration's failure to secure our border." "Abbott told 'Hannity' earlier this week
that he was forced to come up with 'new ideas to do the federal government's job' as border checkpoints struggle to manage
the flow of people attempting to enter the United States and amid the Biden administration's move to eliminate the Title 42
expulsion provision," Fox reports.
Still
more secret migrant flights, why is Biden keeping this off the books? Another suspected migrant flight landed
in White Plains late Tuesday night, the fifth such flight in the past six days. The iAero airlines flight WQ491 from El Paso,
Texas, via Jacksonville, Fla., landed at 10:33 p.m. The same iAero plane shuttled back and forth between El Paso
and New York over Easter weekend. On Saturday, it landed at 11:33 p.m. On Monday it landed at 10:17 p.m. If
it were not for The Post, the public would not be aware of any of the Biden administration's charter flights, which are
fanning out every night, all over the country, delivering illegal migrants from the southern border to oblivious
communities. After a lull late last year, in recent weeks "the charters are back with a fury," says a whistleblower
from Avelo Airlines, one of three charter companies raking in millions of taxpayer dollars whisking migrants out of
sight. Staffers are disturbed by the secrecy of the operation, and the prospect that they are participating in a
human-trafficking operation, the whistleblower says.
More
Democrats Split With Biden as White House Hints at No Delay in Scrapping Title 42. A dozen Democrats have urged
for a comprehensive plan to address the expected influx of migrants at the southern border before the Biden administration
ends Title 42 expulsions. The White House said on April 20 it's "planning and preparing for the end" of the Trump-era
public health order, which was implemented amid the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 and has since been rejecting
asylum-seekers at U.S. borders. The ongoing migrant expulsions policy is set to expire on May 23 under the Biden
administration, as press secretary Jennifer Psaki said current funding levels will not meet the needs of law enforcement
agencies once Title 42 is lifted. The move sparked outrage among Republicans and a growing list of Democrats, including
those in tough races for November midterms seeking reelections or other positions, are breaking up with Biden on the reversal.
How America Became
La La Land. America these last 14 months resembles a dystopia. It is becoming partly the world of George
Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, partly the poet Homer's land of the Lotus-Eaters. Nothing seems to be
working. And no one in control seems to care. The once secure border of 2020 vanished. Two-million people
have crossed the southern border illegally in the last twelve months. Millions more are on the way. The Biden
Administration unilaterally and simply destroyed existing immigration law. What followed was surreal. The
administration claimed COVID was again on the horizon. So it justified forcing American citizens to keep wearing masks
in public buildings and transportation. But at the same time, it waived all such requirements for illegal entrants.
Citizens who obeyed our laws had to mask up; foreign nationals who broke them did not need to take such precautions.
Joe
Biden, strangling on his own border policies. Joe Biden seems to recognize that he's strangling on his own
border policies, and not for the first time. This time, though, he's looking for a way out. [...] Thus far, nine
Democrats from key swing and border states, who stand to lose their own congressional and Senate seats once the human waves
commence, have signed on to the call to Biden to just stop, change course, do something to avoid the flood of people that's
coming. For Biden, that's a quandary. Of course he wants to let every illegal into the U.S. as the open-borders
lobby calls for. He did that the day he entered office, issuing no-deportations executive orders for his first 100 days,
breaking the U.S. treaty with Mexico signed by President Trump on forcing illegal aliens to wait out their phony claims
for asylum in Mexico, ending bans on migrants from terrorist hellholes, trying to shell out $400,000 payouts to migrants
separated from kids at the border, halting construction of the border wall at great taxpayer cost, and appointing incompetent
Kamala Harris to play border czar, all of which triggered the ongoing border surge.
DHS
answers Congressman's questions about illegal immigration under Biden; answers are terrifying. [Scroll
down] Question 10 asks for information on "Migrants who have unlawfully entered the United States, since January 20,
2021, who (A) were apprehended by CBP" and (B) are included one a list maintained by the Federal Government relating to
terrorists or individuals prohibited from boarding a commercial aircraft." DHS answered: "From January 20, 2021,
through December 31, 2021, U.S. Border Patrol conducted 1,911,942 encounters nationwide to include 1,083,275 Title 42
expulsions and 828,667 Title 8 apprehensions." It noted the same individual can potentially be subject to expulsion under
Title 42 multiple times. As for those on a terror watchlist, CBP Operations "has arrested 42 subjects who were on the
terror watchlist and attempted to enter the United States illegally. These numbers are inclusive of anyone who may be
on the No-Fly List."
Biden's
Smartphones for Illegal Aliens Shouldn't Replace Detention. The announcement that the Biden administration is
giving free smartphones to illegal aliens who recently crossed the border understandably has incensed Americans. It
brings back memories of "Obamaphones." Although the "Bidenphone" has limited functionality and provides better
immigration enforcement awareness than none at all, it underscores the better options of preventing illegal immigration and
detaining those who do enter the country unlawfully. In a nutshell, the Biden administration doesn't want to detain
deportable aliens because it knows that detention is more likely to lead to deportation. The open borders advocates
have access to the same key data as the rest of the public found within the 2020 Department of Homeland Security Enforcement
Lifecycle Report. The open borders crowd knows that if illegal aliens are detained and receive a final order of removal
from an immigration judge, they'll be removed 98% of the time. The same DHS report also shows that unless a deportable
alien is fully detained, 85% of them won't be removed from the U.S.

Governors Create Border Strike Force 'In the Absence of Federal Leadership'. Twenty-six U.S. governors, all
Republican, announced the creation of a Border Strike Force to "disrupt and dismantle transnational criminal organizations"
on April 19. The group of governors signed a memorandum of understanding, pledging to work together to "serve as a
force multiplier to target cartels and criminal networks financially and operationally." "Together, governors will
improve public safety, protect victims from horrific crimes, reduce the amount of drugs in our communities, and alleviate the
humanitarian crisis at the Southern Border," the agreement states. The group includes two border states —
Arizona and Texas — as well as 24 others: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa,
Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
Ten
Democrats [are] joining Republicans in opposing Biden's plan to end Title 42. Centrist Democrats and those up
for reelection in November may have taken a hint from polls that show the public is upset with the administration's handling
of the border and chosen to inch away from Biden. More than half, 56%, of poll respondents oppose ending Title 42,
according to an April 6 Morning Consult/Politico survey. The results make Biden's decision his "most unpopular decision
so far." The conclusion of Title 42 could create an optics nightmare for Democrats months before voters go to
the polls, as well as a national security concern. Homeland security officials anticipate as many as 18,000 people a day
could be encountered trying to enter the United States in the six weeks after Title 42 ends, far more than the several
thousand encountered per day at present.
Border
Patrol stopped 23 people on terrorist database at southern border in 2021: CBP data. Border Patrol apprehended
at least 23 people coming across the southern border whose names are on the terror watchlist in 2021, according to Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) data obtained by Fox News. Between Jan. 20 and Dec. 27, 2021, there were 23 encounters with
individuals whose names matched on the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB). Four were in the Rio Grande Valley Sector,
4 in Del Rio Sector, 3 in El Paso Sector, 2 in Tucson Sector, 2 in Yuma Sector, 4 in El Centro Sector and 4 in San Diego
Sector. The information was provided to Fox News in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted
in December.
It's
Not Just Joe Biden. The United States Has A Potemkin Government. [Scroll down] These people are
also taking precisely zero action while the United States's sovereignty, safety, and national security are deliberately
sabotaged by a United Nations-assisted stampede over our border that will result in even more social strife and strain on our
chronically ineffective and soon-bankrupt safety nets, not to mention likely terrorist attacks. If they do anything,
it's prattle mindlessly on TV about how immigrants are "part of the fabric of America" when our public schools and other
institutions can't even assimilate native-born Americans and haven't been able to do so for decades, all while these same
people and their friends have ostensibly held power.
What would be the point of impeachment if he had already resigned by then? Asking for Nixon. Sec.
Mayorkas should 'resign and be impeached' over southern border crisis: Tom Homan. Seven hundred thousand
got-aways since Joe Biden became president. Seven hundred thousand people entered this country illegally and not
arrested. How many of them are in the screening database? Just last month 67,000 got-aways. These aren't
Tom Homan numbers, these are based on camera traffic, drone traffic, and sensor traffic that border patrol records but can't
respond to. Here is what people need to be worried about. After 9/11 we put a lot of processes in place where
terrorists couldn't get into the United States. The Visa Security Program. The no-fly list. The terrorist
screening database. You can't get into this country with any derogatory information at all. You are not getting a
visa and plane ticket. Those processes mean nothing if you can walk across the southwest border unscathed like 700,000
people did. This is a huge issue.
Report:
Biden May Back Down on Ending Title 42 as GOP Sounds Alarm on Illegal Immigration. President Joe Biden is
considering backing down on plans to end the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Title 42 — the
public health authority that has doubled as a border control measure — as Republican lawmakers head to the United
States-Mexico border to sound the alarm on illegal immigration. On Tuesday [4/19/2022], a source told Axios that Biden
and his top agency officials are considering not following through on their current plans to end the use of Title 42 on
May 23 — a move that they admit could bring a wave of illegal immigration never seen before in American history.
Trump-Endorsed
AZ Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake On Securing Southern Border. Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake
recently appeared on Real America with Dan Ball to discuss the invasion of our southern border in Arizona, where thousands
are pouring into our country each day. The Gateway Pundit reported that massive waves of illegal immigrants are preparing
to storm the southern border when Joe Biden ends the Trump-era Title 42 on May 23. 18,000 people per day or
over 500,000 per month are expected to invade the United States. Many of these people are dangerous criminals and
victims of human trafficking.

House Republicans Demand ICE Data on Arrests, Deportations Withheld by Biden. House Republicans are demanding
that Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas produce key immigration enforcement data that they argue is being hidden
from the public by the Biden administration, according to a letter exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News
Foundation. The letter, sent Thursday, is led by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, and co-signed by 19 other Republican
lawmakers who argue that delayed data for fiscal year 2021 from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement showing significant
decreases in arrests provided only a "limited" and "inadequate" look into the agency's enforcement and removal actions.
Arrests
of Illegal Aliens at the Border Surge to More Than 220,000 in March. The number of illegal aliens arrested at
the border in March hit 221,303 — the highest yet number of arrests at the border during the Biden presidency.
That's 28% higher than March 2021 when 173,277 migrants were encountered. In March 2020, just 34,460 illegals were
arrested at the border. The number of illegals arrested at the border in March surpasses any single month during all
of 2021. There were 219,953 illegals arrested at the border in July 2021.
The Editor says...
Those numbers don't include the tens of thousands who escaped detection and capture. Yet somehow "The number of illegal
aliens in the U.S." remains unchanged at 11 million, like some immutable constant. It is a lie: Apparently the
government lies about the numbers and the news media passes it along without question.
TX
Sheriff: Border Patrol Told Me to Be Ready for Ports of Entry Being Overrun, 'We're Talking about' Deputies in 'Riot
Gear'. During a portion of an interview with NBC News aired on Monday's [4/18/2022] edition of "NBC Nightly
News," Hidalgo County, TX Sheriff Eddie Guerra (D) urged the Biden administration to reconsider its decision to rescind Title 42
and said that Border Patrol told him to have his officers ready in case ports of entry are overwhelmed and this means "deputies
dressed in their riot gear with their shields and their helmets and batons to keep the crowd at bay." NBC News Correspondent
Julia Ainsley introduced her interview with Guerra by saying, "Migrants who cross through the Rio Grande Valley come through this
bus station in downtown McAllen. And officials here worry that if the numbers get too high, it could overwhelm the bus
station, the shelters, leaving people with nowhere to go and sleeping on the street."
Democrats
desert Biden over looming border disaster. Centrist Democrats and those up for reelection in November are
taking a hint from polls that show the public is upset with the administration's handling of the border, urging them to inch
away from President Joe Biden. Over the past several weeks, seven Senate Democrats have come out against the Biden
administration's plan to terminate Title 42, a pandemic public health authority used to turn away the majority of illegal
immigrants who come across the southern border. Biden announced earlier this month that Title 42 would be rescinded on
May 23. In the two years that it has been in effect, the United States has expelled 1.6 million people through the
authority, though some were turned away more than once. But homeland security officials anticipate as many as 18,000 people a day
could be encountered trying to enter the U.S. in the six weeks after Title 42 ends. The possibility is both an optics
nightmare for Democrats and a national security concern.
Mexican Cartels Fly 9,000
Drone Flights into U.S. to Surveil Law Enforcement Operations. Mexican drug cartels have conducted more than
9,000 drone flights into U.S. airspace in the last year to surveil American law enforcement and security operations in the
southern border region, a senior Homeland Security official told Judicial Watch this week. The drones are observing
federal, state, county, and city agencies near the Mexican border, including the U.S. Border Patrol, Texas Department of
Public Safety, Texas National Guard, county sheriffs and local police. The Border Patrol, which operates under Customs
and Border Protection (CBP), has captured about a dozen of the drones, and accessed the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles' (UAVs)
guidance and memory systems to gain intelligence information, according to a high-level official at the agency.
Biden
Releases 756K Border Crossers, Population Larger than Boston, into American Communities Since Taking Office.
President Joe Biden's administration has released more than 750,000 border crossers and illegal aliens, a foreign population
larger than the population of Boston, Massachusetts, into the United States since taking office in January 2021, a court
brief confirms. The brief, dated April 14 and filed in the Supreme Court by Stephen Miller's America First Legal
Foundation, details the extent to which Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has put its Catch and Release network
into overdrive in just a little over 12 months.
Biden
White House on track to make deportations a thing of the past. Earlier this month, Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) issued a memo to prosecutors that gives them the discretion to dismiss deportation cases that they deem to
be a low priority, putting the agency more in line with Joe Biden's immigration agenda. The memo encourages ICE
attorneys to dismiss deportation cases against illegal aliens and other non-citizens if they, for example, have already been
living in the United States for a long period of time, do not pose a national security threat, or do not pose any public
safety threat. [...] In sum, Biden wants the public to believe these actions will make the immigration system fairer and more
efficient. However, actions speak louder than words, and a cursory look at what the Biden administration has done thus
far reveals what this memo is really meant to be — the latest move to effectively abolish ICE without having to
actually abolish ICE.
Third
Bus of Migrants Arrives in DC from Texas. A third bus with migrants arrived in Washington, D.C., on Friday and
unloaded near Union Station, just blocks from the U.S. Capitol, following orders from Texas Governor Greg Abbott. "On
April 6, Gov. Abbott ordered the Texas Division of Emergency Management to prepare buses to transport DHS-released
migrants on a voluntary basis from their drop-off location to Washington, D.C.," reported Breitbart News' Bob Price.
Border
Patrol says that a record 221,303 migrants were encountered at the Southern border in March. A new record for
border encounters was set last month, new data shows, as the Biden administration readies to end the Trump-era pandemic
restrictions in a move critics say will result in a surge in illegal crossings from Mexico. Former acting ICE director
Tom Homan on Friday night accused Joe Biden of doing 'nothing' to deal with the issue, and pointed out that more people had
died making the journey under Biden than any president he could recall. 'The Biden administration keeps saying the Trump
policies are inhumane,' he told Fox News's Sean Hannity. 'Let me be clear on this. More migrants have died under the
first year of Joe Biden on U.S. soil than any year I can remember. 'A record number — more migrants are dying
under Joe Biden, and over 100,000 Americans have died over overdose deaths of fentanyl comes across that southwest border.
How
History Will View the Biden Years. [Scroll down] Biden immediately dismantled many of former President
Donald Trump's border security policies. That's not surprising from a Democratic politician. But Biden had no
replacement plan. He took down policies that were working and didn't bother to put in place any plan of his own to
secure the border. When the predictable crisis followed, the Biden team's first reaction was to pretend that everything
was fine; there was no crisis. When you have the majority of the media on your team, you can try audacious explanations
like that, but it was too much. Like the CNN reporter proclaiming riot cities "mostly peaceful" in a camera shot with
burning buildings in the background, there's a level of political spin that will just never work. Following an election
where many Democrats openly advocated for open borders and decriminalizing illegal border crossing, the political blame for
the crisis at the border landed squarely in the president's lap.
Buses
Arriving in DC With Illegal Aliens Blow up One of Biden's Biggest Lies and Leave the WH Babbling. Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott proved that he wasn't just fooling around or pulling a publicity stunt when he told Joe Biden that if
he continued on his path of allowing illegal aliens to stream into Texas, he, Abbott, would be shipping some of the people to
Washington, D.C. for Biden to have to deal with. He made good on that promise, with the first buses showing up in D.C.
this week. Abbott said that Texas towns are just not able to deal with the huge influx anymore. [...] But Fox picked up
on something interesting — the people getting off the first bus were mostly single adult males. Remember
when the Biden team claimed that single adult males were mostly being expelled under Title 42 and the people allowed to stay
were largely families and children? The tale of the bus tells something different. [Tweet]
Liberal
2022 candidates come out against Biden's repeal of Title 42, slam admin for 'lack of a plan'. Democrats
candidates in the midterm elections are joining in the criticism that the Biden administration doesn't have a OK plan to end
enforcement of the federal law known as Title 42, used during the pandemic to migrants and COVID-19 out of the U.S. Texas
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke hit at the administration for what he considers failing to come up with a
plan for border communities to deal with the expected surge in immigration by ending Title 42 enforcement. "It does not
make sense to end this until there is a real plan and the capacity in place to handle those and address those that come over,
he told the Texas Tribune on Tuesday. "We have yet to hear a plan from the Biden administration to address the dynamic
we will have on the border once Title 42 ends."
The
First Busload Full Of Illegals From Texas Are Dumped Just Blocks From The Capitol In DC. A bus from Texas
arrived in Washington, D.C. Wednesday morning, transporting dozens of illegal immigrants as part of Texas Gov. Greg
Abbott's new plan to counter federal immigration policies during an ongoing border crisis. The bus pulled up at
approximately 8 a.m. local time, blocks away from the U.S. Capitol building. Fox News has learned that they came from
the Del Rio sector in Texas, after coming to the U.S. from Colombia, Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Upon the bus's
arrival in Washington, D.C., individuals disembarked one by one except for family units who exited together.
Majorities
see Biden's latest border order as huge mistake. President Joe Biden's plan to lift Title 42, the pandemic
edict allowing for the blanket expulsion of migrants entering the United States at the southern border, lacks support from
not only Republicans but also the majority of independents and a significant number of Democrats across the country.
The administration announced April 1 that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would lift the Trump-era order
starting May 23, allowing for the normal processing of refugee asylum requests inside the U.S. The administration has
repeatedly stated that the order is a "public health" measure meant to stop the spread of COVID-19, as opposed to what some
left-wing activists have described as a cruel immigration restriction put in place by Biden's predecessor.
Biden
[is] Rolling Out the Welcome Mat for Illegal Migrants. Illegal border crossers will no longer be treated like
criminals but more like customers. The president's fiscal budget, presented March 28, cuts funding for Immigration and
Customs Enforcement by 8 percent despite an expected surge in migrants and reduces detention beds. Meanwhile,
Mr. Biden's increasing funding for a speedier service for migrants entering the country illegally, with more flights and
ground transportation. Kind of like a travel agency. As of late May, Customs and Border Protection officials will
not be able to send back migrants using Title 42, a legal tool devised to limit immigration during Covid. Illegal
immigration is predicted to surge to 18,000 people a day. Biden isn't planning to deter it, only to accommodate it.
There will be no punishment for sneaking into the country, or what the White House prefers to call "irregular" immigration.
To
Secure The Border, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Should Shut It Down. Amid the churn of recent headlines about
inflation and the war in Ukraine, you might have missed what's happening right now on the southwest border — not
the ongoing border crisis, but something very much related to it. For the past few days, commercial traffic between the
United States and Mexico has ground to a halt. On Monday [4/11/2022], Mexican truckers blocked north and southbound
lanes on the Mexico side of the Pharr-Reynosa International Bridge in Pharr, Texas. They did it to protest Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott's decision last week to order state troopers to inspect all northbound commercial trucks, something
usually done by federal authorities. The state inspections immediately caused massive delays at ports of entry all
along the border, triggering a second protest by truckers waiting to cross into El Paso on Monday afternoon, with trucks
blocking both northbound and southbound lanes in Juarez.
Biden's
Radical Open Borders Policies Prompt Pushback. President Joe Biden is about to blow open the floodgates on
illegal immigration at the border, and the governor of Texas is vowing to push back. "To help local officials whose
communities are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being dropped off by the administration, Texas is
providing charter buses to send these illegal immigrants who have been dropped off by the Biden administration to Washington,
D.C.," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said at a Wednesday press conference. That may not resolve the issue, but at least
it sends a message to Washington that this is a Washington-caused crisis that's becoming intolerable for beleaguered border
states. In response to the Texas governor, a White House spokesman said that "enforcement of our country's immigration
laws lies with the federal government, not a state." At this point, however, "enforcement" seems like a poor choice of a
word for describing what the Biden administration is doing at the border.
Andy
Biggs: Biden Could Bring 30K Illegal Aliens to U.S. Border Every Day with End of Title 42. Rep. Andy
Biggs (R-AZ) says President Joe Biden could potentially entice 20,000 to 30,000 border crossers and illegal aliens to the
United States-Mexico border every day if he follows through on plans to end the Title 42 public health authority. The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has announced that Biden will end Title 42 on May 23. The
authority, which serves as a border control measure, has allowed federal immigration officials to quickly return nearly
two million illegal aliens to their native countries over the last two years.
Biden
Admin Slows Migrant Drop-Offs in Texas After Governor Orders Them Bused to DC. Texas officials report the Biden
administration stopped dropping off released migrants in many cities across the state following Governor Greg Abbott's order
to start busing them to Washington, D.C. From the Texas Panhandle to the Rio Grande Valley, Texas city officials sent the
State requests for assistance in offering bus transportation for any released migrants who voluntarily want to catch a ride
to the nation's capital. The Texas Division of Emergency Management (TDEM) dispatched multiple buses to areas where
community leaders expressed concerns about the federal government dropping off migrants in their cities, TDEM spokesman Seth
Christensen said in a written statement. He said Texas "has the capability to send as many [buses] as necessary to
fulfill the requests from mayors and county judges."
Psaki
says no to free smartphones, paid monthly plans for US citizens, only for illegal immigrants. White House press
secretary Jen Psaki deflected from answering a question by Fox News reporter Peter Doocy during her press briefing on Friday
[4/8/2022] when he asked her if the Biden administration will give Americans smartphones since they are providing them to
illegal immigrants in order to track them. Doocy asked if the administration had a "plan to give free smartphones to
U.S. citizens" as they have reportedly been freely handing them out to those illegally entering the U.S. "Should we not
be tracking migrants who irregularly cross the border?" Psaki asked, expertly avoiding the question. "Well, it'd be
great if anybody that wanted a free phone and a free monthly plan could get one," Doocy sarcastically told her. "So is
that going to be an offer for everybody or just people that walk into the country illegally?"
Will
Joe Biden Bring the U.S. Down With Him? Many of Biden's gaffes and much of his political mischief fit
seamlessly into the Democrat plan for the nation. [...] The situation on the southern border is an avowed catastrophe, for
which the clueless Kamala Harris has taken much of the blame. She has been roundly condemned for failing in her duty to
attend to the security breach, which was her remit, when it should have been obvious that abandoning border security was the
purpose all along. Doing nothing, she did her job. Biden's recent announcement ending the Title 42 Illegal
Immigration Rule, which forced the return of more than half of illegal immigrants, is proof positive of the Democrats'
abiding intention to destabilize the nation.
Has Biden
become expendable? Why are the media suddenly attacking the president when they supported many of his policies
during the 2020 primaries? [...] The corrupt media called President Trump's border fence "racist" while praising Biden's
promise to provide free health care for anyone crossing the southern border illegally. With such a generous and
rewarding immigration policy, the media knew that the southern border would see an explosion of illegal
crossings — and so there was. As illegal entries hit record levels, murder, drug crimes, and sex crimes
skyrocketed in the border states. Suddenly, Biden's border policy was being criticized by the propaganda media.
They were all in until things started collapsing.
Texas
governor's plan to bus illegals to Washington D.C is amusing, but not practical. Homeland Security reported that
more than 2.5 million illegal immigrants crossed the southern border since Biden took over. The Title 42 policy,
that President Trump implemented during the pandemic, empowers border officials quickly to expel migrants on health grounds.
Under Biden, that will be terminated on May 23. The migrant caravans are now massing in Central America and Mexico,
and would-be illegals have told the press they are tightly focused on that day. Once the surge of migrants makes it in the
states, the migrants are then transported to poor and working-class neighborhoods. The result is that working-class
citizens either lose their jobs, or else face depressed wages because the migrants often work off the books for less than
the minimum wage and don't pay taxes. Resources such as hospitals, law enforcement, and fire services that are meager
in working-class areas, are already overburdened. Free spaces such as pavement and parks that are occupied by
migrants are rendered unhygienic.
No
Matter If Title 42 Stays Or Goes, A Massive Migrant Influx Is Coming. It's a well-established fact that the
U.S. border crisis began shortly after President Joe Biden assumed office and rescinded most of former President Donald
Trump's border security policies. Now, Biden and his team are working to remove one of the last lines of defenses left
over from the Trump administration's border policy toolbox. Two years ago under Trump, the Centers for Disease Control
instituted a public health order called Title 42 to expedite the expulsion of illegal border crossers during the Covid-19
pandemic. The policy was designed to prevent overcrowding in border facilities, which policymakers feared would lead to
the rapid spread of Covid-19 along the border.
'It's
a gimmick': [Governor] Abbott['s] plan to bus illegal immigrants to D.C. [is] slammed for being voluntary.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott grabbed headlines Wednesday by promising to put illegal immigrants on charter buses and send them
to Washington, D.C., in response to the Biden administration rescinding Title 42. At a press conference announcing this
"unprecedented" step, the Republican governor painted a picture of Texas National Guard soldiers being sent to the border in
riot gear to herd migrants onto these buses, which outraged migrant and open-borders advocates. Many conservatives and
border hawks cheered Abbott's actions, but new details of the plan released by the governor's office once the TV cameras were
put away show his order is much less impactful than it would at first appear. Specifically, a press release from Abbott
clarifies that the trip to D.C. will be voluntary for illegal immigrants.
Leaked
DHS Document Reveals Biden's Mass-Migration Plan Offers 'Broadscale Release Mechanisms'. The Department of
Homeland Security is disseminating a mass migration plan devoid of removal mechanisms to replace the soon-to-end CDC Title 42
emergency order. The plan predicts that DHS traditional processing capabilities will be overwhelmed and require an
increase in the use of "broadscale release mechanisms." The plan, reviewed by Breitbart Texas, acknowledges the end of
Title 42 will likely result in a surge in illegal migration along the southwest border. The increase is already
manifesting itself as apprehensions rise. In March, Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 200,000 migrants.
Migrants
are being handed cell phones so ICE can keep track of them. Republicans want Texas to declare an 'invasion' at
the southern border to give permissions for state troopers and National Guard members to turn back migrants as the country
braces for Title 42 to end next month. Immigration enforcement is giving migrants who are released into the U.S.
smartphones with tracking apps installed so they can keep track of released illegal immigrants. Parole release migrants
are being released into the country and are asked to turn themselves into Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a city of
their choice and are being given government phones to track them.
Hundreds
of Ukrainian refugees are crammed into temporary camps at the Mexico border. Hundreds of Ukrainian refugees who
fled to Mexico are sitting in a makeshift refuge at a Tijuana sports center as they wait to enter the United States,
authorities said today [4/5/2022]. The facility was converted into a government shelter after some 400 Ukrainians — about
30 percent of whom are children — arrived to the northern Mexican city over the weekend. Images show those who have
fled the devastating scenes in Ukraine sleeping on the floor and waiting with their belonging — including arrays of food
supplies, blankets and children's toys — strewn around tents and sleeping mats.
Thousands
of desperate Ukrainians fleeing Putin's invasion pile into Mexican shelters and wait to enter America. In the
past week the number of Ukrainian refugees waiting in Mexico to seek asylum in the U.S. has swelled from hundreds to
thousands, after the Biden administration agreed to accept 100,000 this year. Many sleep on the ground in a gymnasium
converted into a makeshift shelter in Tijuana, a suitcase containing their life's possessions beside them. They await
their number to be called out, when they will get the opportunity to a border agent in hopes of being granted humanitarian
parole and allowed into the U.S. Despite the surge in refugees, only about 150 are being allowed into the U.S. each day
due to Customs and Border Patrol staff stretched thin. Entrances are expected to speed up in the coming days.
Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott to send buses of migrants to DC ahead of surge. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered state
troopers on Wednesday to begin stopping and inspecting commercial vehicles coming across the U.S-Mexico border and said bus
charters would be offered to take illegal migrants to Washington, D.C., in a dig at President Biden and Congress. With
only seven weeks to go until the Biden administration lifts the Title 42 immigration order, Abbott announced multiple
measures to protect his state and combat the massive influx of migrants anticipated to cross the border this spring.
"To help local officials — because communities are being overwhelmed by hordes of illegal immigrants who are being
dropped off by the Biden Administration — Texas is providing charter buses for these illegal immigrants who have
been dropped off to Washington, D.C.," the Republican governor said Wednesday [4/6/2022].
Texas
Governor Greg Abbott Announces He Will Use Charter Buses to Send Illegal Immigrants to Washington D.C.. Texas
Governor Greg Abbott will begin to use charter buses to ship illegal immigrants to Washington, D.C., as part of his strategy
for the overwhelming influx of illegal immigrants. Governor Abbott held a press conference today concerning Texas'
border security efforts in response to the Biden admin's decision to drop Title 42 at the border on May 23.
Joe Biden announced that he plans to drop a Trump-era order blocking asylum seekers at the U.S. border on May 23.
Title 42 was used by President Trump in 2020 to expel migrants seeking asylum during the Covid pandemic.
Greg
Abbott Announces Major 'Charter Bus' Policy for Illegals Dumped in Texas. Republican governors have been
complaining for months about how the Biden administration has been transporting illegal immigrants into their states,
sometimes in the dead of night when they think no one is watching, and dumping them in areas that have already been deluged
by the influx of illegal immigrants who made it across the border as the result of President Biden's disastrous open borders
policy. For instance, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' public safety czar Larry Keefe pointed out back in November that
they had discovered the Biden administration had been flying illegal immigrants into the state under the cover of
darkness. Keefe also said that when he reached out to the DHS and the DOJ find out who issued the directive, no answer
was given. DeSantis made a vow at the time to begin using charter buses to send them to Biden's home state of Delaware.
Joe
Biden's hidden amnesty is already underway. As Joe Biden asks Congress to formally grant amnesty to millions of
illegal aliens, his administration has already created a sort of hidden amnesty that could accomplish his extremist
immigration agenda without congressional approval. Last year the Biden administration resettled more than 146,000
unaccompanied alien children (UACs) into the U.S., a number larger than the population of many U.S. cities. These
numbers are alarmingly high, especially considering the lax vetting standards we've seen under Biden. According to data
from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Biden administration has lost track of nearly 20,000 of these
illegal aliens. Losing track of 20,000 illegal border crossers demonstrates a shocking amount of negligence, even by
the low standards of this administration. It also shows that the Biden administration is committed to the cause of
amnesty, even if that means quietly resettling illegal aliens without the permission of Congress.
Miles
of border [are] left unguarded as [the] Border Patrol struggles with surge. The Border Patrol's Del Rio sector
covers 240 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border. There are days when not a single agent is actually guarding the line, said
Jon Anfinsen, president of the National Border Patrol Council's Del Rio chapter. "We've had days with no agents
patrolling whatsoever. Those that are out there are doing transportation duties, picking up groups that are turning
themselves in, or doing processing," Mr. Arfinsen told Republican members of Congress on Monday [4/4/2022].
Already
stretched thin, border agents must now use politically correct pronouns under new edict. Battered by COVID-19,
waves of illegal immigrants and fears of even larger surges ahead, Customs and Border Protection officers have a new burden:
they must now be sure to use proper pronouns for LGBTQI+ migrants. The new requirement was included Thursday at the
bottom of a much larger announcement by the Homeland Security Department concerning changes instituted on International Trans
Day of Visibility. "Facilitating effective communication at U.S. ports of entry and beyond: CBP has provided a
job aid and memorandum to all staff that will serve as a guide for facilitating effective communication with the diverse
public CBP serves, including LGBTQI+ individuals," the agency said.
Biden
administration tells ICE prosecutors to dismiss cases of migrants who didn't cross border recently. The White
House is instructing federal immigration prosecutors to consider dismissing older cases of immigrants who are not public
safety threats as the administration braces for massive influx of migrations at the southern border once the pandemic-era
Title 42 ends next month. An internal memo issued on Monday to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) prosecutors
was obtained by BuzzFeed News, and details the latest effort from President Joe Biden's administration to reshape the
immigration system. The guidance was written by chief ICE attorney Kerry Doyle, a Biden appointee, was sent to
prosecutors on Monday and represents another attempt by the agency to emphasize the discretion prosecutors have in court and
lower the backlog of cases in immigration court.
Border
state Democrats 'frightened' by Biden's election year Title 42 call. The Biden administration's decision to end
the public health emergency power that permitted the deportation of roughly 1.7 million migrants because of the pandemic is
being questioned by Democrats before the 2022 midterm elections. The decision to end Title 42 in May, which the White
House has repeatedly attributed to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, coincides with an anticipated worst-case-scenario
surge of up to 18,000 border crossings a day as migrants take advantage of warmer weather before the fall elections.
McCarthy:
Biden 'abdicated his responsibilities at our border' with Title 42 repeal. House Republican Leader Kevin
McCarthy on Friday accused President Biden of having "abdicated his responsibilities" at the southern border and making the
ongoing migrant crisis worse after the administration announced that it is lifting the Title 42 public health order.
"Today's decision confirms that President Biden has abdicated his responsibilities at our borders and is actively working to
make the border crisis worse," McCarthy said in a statement. "From day one of his administration, he has failed to
protect our nation's security and to secure the border." The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) on Friday announced that
it will be terminating the Title 42 public health policy, that has been used by both the Trump and Biden administrations to
quickly expel migrants at the southern border since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, on May 23.
Biden opens the Title
42 gates — prepare for madness. As if the border crisis isn't damaging enough, with 2.5 million
illegal migrants having crossed into the United States since Joe Biden took office, now the administration is going to make
it exponentially worse by unwinding the last Trump-era restriction. The Title 42 policy, implemented by the Trump
administration during the pandemic to allow border officials quickly to expel migrants on public health grounds, will be
terminated next month, the CDC announced Friday [4/1/2022]. Title 42 was the last tool border officials had left to
stem the flow of illegal migration from more than 150 countries across the southern border. Now, they are anticipating a
doubling or tripling of numbers to as many as 18,000 a day. We know what that means. More secret migrant flights
fanning out from the southern border to a town near you.
Biden
Administration Announces May 23rd as Trigger Date for Open Border Migration. As millions of global economic
migrants have been flooding into Central America and Mexico, awaiting the official date for the U.S. Southern border gates to
be removed allowing unfettered open border travel, the people behind Joe Biden have announced May 23rd will be the official
open border date. Officially known as the Title-42 border control effort, the prior CDC determination that blocked
cross border travel based on the COVID-19 pandemic, the restriction will be removed effective May 23rd. There are
millions of global migrants backed-up below the southern U.S. border awaiting the change. While many voices within the
professional political class will deny the removal of Title-42 will result in a totally open border, those who operate the
collapsing process of border security have noted it will be impossible to legally process all of the entrants, and the Biden
administration have signaled they have no intent to turn anyone away for any reason.
Donald
Trump says US will be 'deluged by illegal immigration' after Biden drops Title 42 border restrictions. Donald
Trump blasted President Joe Biden's repeal of a pandemic-era border restriction at a rally Saturday night — claiming the
decision will result in a 'deluge of illegal immigration.' The former president claimed at his Save America rally in
Michigan that he had the 'most secure border in the history of our nation,' but warned that with Biden's ''foolhardy' repeal
of Title 42, 'We will be deluged by illegal immigration.' 'We're being invaded by millions and millions of people,'
Trump added, claiming that '10 to 12 million people' would flood the country if Title 42 were to be repealed — adding
on to what he said has been the 'largest number of illegal immigrants' entering the country.
Joe
Biden [will] Open the Border on May 23. President Joe Biden's deputies have announced they will lift the Title 42
barrier at the southern border on May 23, allowing a vast wave of wage-cutting, rent-spiking migrants into America's job and
housing markets. "We are increasing our capacity to process new arrivals, evaluate asylum requests," said a statement from
Alejandro Mayorkas, who heads Biden's Department of Homeland Security and is trying to build an extra immigration system that
operates alongside annual limits set by Congress. The formal announcement implies that the president will not block the
border-opening plan by his deputies.
The Editor says...
Who came up with the plan — the "deputies," or the alleged President? Who is really in charge of the Executive Branch?
Border
Patrol Has Already Picked Up 1 Million Illegals in 2022. According to a source within U.S. Customs and Border
Protection, Border Patrol agents have already apprehended more than one million illegal aliens in the southwest sectors in
Fiscal Year 2022. The benchmark was reportedly reached on Thursday, the source told Breitbart News. [...] Another growing
problem is the number of "migrants" from Cuba. In February, roughly 16,550 Cubans were apprehended along the southwest
border — a spike of more than 300 percent, compared to February 2021. Moreover, fewer than 100 of the 16,550
Cubans arrested in February were ordered out of the country, per the Remain in Mexico program. As those interested in
such things — that should be all of us — might recall, Biden formally ended the
Remain in Mexico program in June 2021, after suspending it earlier in the year.
Get
Ready for a Border Surge the Likes of Which Our Country Has Never Seen. Open borders advocates —
including those who serve in the Biden administration and on Capitol Hill — have been demanding that President
Biden end Title 42 since the day he took office during a full-blown pandemic. Title 42 is a public health provision
that was invoked by the Trump administration in 2020 at the onset of the COVID pandemic, allowing for the expedited removal
of people crossing our borders illegally. While it is impossible to quantify a negative, it is reasonable to assume
that preventing significant numbers of people traveling in large groups and coming from countries where vaccination rates
were low to nonexistent, saved a lot of lives. Despite its success, many in the Biden administration have always viewed
Title 42 not as an essential public health policy, but an obstacle to mass migration.
The
border: 'No imaginable scenario' to avoid another disaster. The chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, Raul Ortiz,
recently said his officers have encountered 1 million illegal border crossers in the first six months of fiscal year 2022 —
that is, since Oct. 1, 2021. That is a big increase over fiscal year 2021, when there were 1.734 million encounters
in the entire year. And that was a big increase over fiscal year 2020, during the pandemic, when there were 458,000 encounters,
and fiscal year 2019, when there were 977,000 encounters, which was a record high at the time. Now, with 1 million in just
the first half of the year, and with the peak migration months not yet begun, the Border Patrol is overwhelmed.
Obama's
DHS Secretary Calls Biden Border Crisis 'Unsustainable'. How bad is Joe Biden's border crisis? It's so
bad that Barack Obama's former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson called it "unsustainable" on MSNBC Wednesday
[3/30/2022]. A day earlier, the Department of Homeland Security reported that they were anticipating 18,000 illegal
immigrant encounters daily — especially after Title 42 is removed. "The border is a tough issue. I am
waiting to see when and if they drop Title 42 for the southern border. It is the, frankly, a way to keep the numbers
down, although these numbers are pretty high," said Johnson.
Biden's
border surge plan is worse than it looks. Joe Biden knows there's a border surge coming. He's expected to
drop Title 42 COVID restrictions on illegal entrants as of May 23 and the human waves are expected to at least double from
what was seen last year. Some two to three million illegal border crossers are forecast to make landfall in the United
States and with no fear of deportation, and establish themselves here permanently. Right now, in just one Texas
corridor, at Eagle Pass, some 7,000 illegal border crossers from 157 countries are rolling through daily. That number
is expected to soar to 18,000 a day once Title 42 is gone.
Now
even Democrats urge Biden not to drop Title 42: Senators warn there isn't a proper plan in place for 'mass migrant event' on
May 23. Now Democrats are coming out against President Joe Biden ending Title 42, breaking with the party by
claiming the administration doesn't have any alternatives in place to quell the impending mass migration influx. New
Hampshire Senator Maggie Hassen tweeted Wednesday [3/30/2022]: 'I am concerned that there is not a sufficient plan in place
to address the steep increase in border crossings that could result from this reported decision.' 'This preemptive repeal
threatens border security at a time when the administration should be focused on strengthening it,' she added.
Illegal
immigrant population soars to 11.4 million. The number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. soared by more than 1
million last year, reaching 11.4 million as of this January, according to new research released Tuesday that puts new
contours on the border chaos under President Biden. The surge is the largest in two decades and is among the largest
single-year increases in U.S. history, said Steven A. Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies, the lead researcher who
wrote the paper. He used Census Bureau numbers to calculate the trajectory of the unauthorized population, figuring
there were about 11.5 million in January 2019, that figure plummeted to 10.2 million by the start of 2021, then soared to
11.4 million at the start of this year.
The Editor says...
In my opinion, the illegal alien population in the U.S. is probably around 30 million, but the news media has been saying "11 million" for at least the
last 20 years,
regardless of how many record-breaking months of illegal entry we've seen.
Border
State Democrats Beg Biden: 'Consider Dangerous Impact' Illegal Immigration Has on Our Communities. More elected
Democrats, representing America's border communities, are pleading with President Joe Biden to enforce Trump-era border
controls to protect their constituents from a massive wave of illegal immigration. On Wednesday [3/30/2022], Biden
officials spoke anonymously to the Associated Press, revealing that the administration has plans to end the Center for
Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Title 42 order that gives federal immigration agents broad authority to quickly return
border crossers and illegal aliens to their native countries.
Just
in time for midterms, Joe Biden sets off the mother of migrant surges. The U.S. Border Patrol expects a record
surge of migrants from 157 countries crossing our border illegally with most presenting spurious claims to "asylum." [...]
Joe Biden has set the conditions for an even bigger surge — on two fronts. One is in his executive order to
replace immigration judges with newly created "asylum officers" brought in from the NGO open-borders ranks, to make decisions
on asylum claims. These are people you can bet will rubber stamp all asylum claims, regardless of what the law
says. The second incentivizer is in Biden's expected decision to scrap Title 42, an erratically employed executive
order that allows Border Patrol agents to deport back illegal crossers on COVID concerns. Based on the numbers of
COVID-spreading migrants [...], it's pretty obvious that that order was only used on some migrants. Now, it won't be
used on any of them if the rule is rescinded on May 23, which seems likely following whatever recommendation the CDC puts out
as its de facto union masters direct.
Biden
administration to scrap Title 42 border policy by May 23 despite warnings: reports. The Biden administration is
planning to scrap a Trump-era public health policy restricting illegal immigration by May 23 — despite repeated
warnings from Democratic lawmakers who represent border states, according to multiple reports. White House director of
communications Kate Bedingfield did not confirm the plans reported by CNN and the Associated Press when asked by reporters
Wednesday [3/30/2022], referring the matter to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Title 42 is a public
health directive," Bedingfield said. "It is not an immigration or migration enforcement measure." "We have every
expectation that when the CDC ultimately decides it's appropriate to lift Title 42, there will be an influx of people to the
border," Bedingfield added. "And so we are doing a lot of work to plan for that contingency."
Biden
Administration to Lift Title 42 Border Policy Allowing Immediate Deportation. The Biden administration will end
the Title 42 public health order that allows border agents to immediately expel illegal border crossers, according to
multiple reports. The order was initially handed down under the Trump administration in the early days of the Covid
pandemic, and renewed by the Biden administration in August 2021. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will
order an end to the Title 42 policy this week, people familiar with the plans told the Wall Street Journal and the
New York Times. A draft of the new order reviewed by the Journal states that "there is no longer a serious danger"
that migrants could spread Covid in border detention facilities.
DHS
preparing for unprecedented Title 42 border rush of up to 18,000 migrants per day. A couple of weeks ago we
learned there was concern within the Biden administration that Title 42, which allows the border patrol to quickly remove
immigrants on health grounds, might be allowed to expire this week. And if that were to happen there was concern that
the already high numbers of migrants at the border would spike. The situation was worrisome enough that
Sens. Sinema and Kelly of Arizona sent a letter asking to see the Biden administration's plan for dealing with the
potential crisis that could unfold if Title 42 were to abruptly end.
50
people flee from semi-truck in McClain County. Authorities are investigating after dozens of people jumped out
of the back of a semi-truck during a traffic stop. On Monday night [3/28/2022], law enforcement attempted to pull over
a semi-truck near I-35 and Hwy 59 in McClain County. When the truck pulled over, officials with the Oklahoma Highway
Patrol say between 50 and 75 people jumped out of the truck. At this point, investigators believe the people are
undocumented immigrants.
The Editor says...
Hmmm. Yes, they might be "undocumented immigrants," also known as illegal aliens. Brilliant
deduction, Sherlock — particularly since nobody else acts like that.
The Sheer Madness
of Today's Left. The southern border since late January 2021, for all intents and purposes, has ceased to
exist. That is unless we are talking about Cuban and Russian refugees who seem to the Left to be too politically
independent to embrace as victim constituents needing left-wing permanent government patronage. Yet the midterms
loom. One of the most unpopular of Joe Biden's initiatives is his welcoming of nearly 2 million impoverished,
unvaccinated, unaudited, and untested illegal immigrants to cross the southern border. By any fair measure, Biden
deliberately violated his oath of office by failing to enforce U.S. immigration laws. Political agendas outweighed his
own promises to uphold the sanctity of federal law. Yet he fears polls. Of all the Biden failures, the southern
border and illegal immigration seem to infuriate Americans of all persuasions the most.
Biden Is Failing
in the Courtroom, Too. [O]n immigration, Biden, his agencies, and his policies have been getting clobbered in
federal courts across the land. Since his inauguration, Biden has fared about as well in court as Michael Spinks did
against Mike Tyson in the boxing ring. The latest knockout took place this week, when an Ohio federal district court
granted a preliminary injunction against Biden's orders that prevent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents
from arresting and deporting most of those in the country illegally. While in office for just over a year, the Biden
Administration has also lost cases on controversies including stimulus checks for aliens, COVID expulsions, H1-B visa fraud,
lawless reentry into the country, the Migrant Protection Protocol's (MPP) "Remain in Mexico" policy, Deferred Action for
Childhood Arrivals, and removal orders for illegal aliens.
As
Midterms Approach, Dems Suddenly Want More Border Security. As encounters at the southern border continue to
increase, and midterm elections approach, Democrats seem to be shifting their messaging on border security. The Daily
Wire's Ben Johnson joined Georgia Howe and John Bickley for Thursday's episode of "Morning Wire" to explain Democrats'
changing strategy on the border. Johnson highlighted President Joe Biden's "surprising" mention of border security
during his "State of the Union" address on March 1. He also mentioned that "the message has filtered down through the
party ranks. The newspaper Roll Call, which covers Capitol Hill, ran a story on Tuesday, titled 'Democrats Emphasize Border
Security as Midterms Loom.'" Democratic House members like Abigail Spanberger (VA) and Elissa Slotkin (MI) are supporting
tighter border security "through technology or by hiring more Border Patrol agents," Johnson said.
Biden
will welcome 100,000 of the 3.6 Million Ukrainian refugees fleeing Putin's war following criticism he wasn't doing
enough. The United States will accept up [to] 100,000 refugees fleeing the war in the Ukraine, the Biden
administration announced on Thursday [3/24/2022]. The announcement came during President Joe Biden's trip to Europe where
he's meeting with leaders of NATO, the G7 and the European Union in three back-to-back emergency sessions to deal with
Russia's invasion of the Ukraine. It's meant to help ease the humantarian criss taking place in Eastern Europe, where
nearly 3.5 million Ukrainians have fled their bombarded country in one of the biggest refugee crisises since World War II.
Refugees have flooded into Europe and some have even made their way to the southern border of the United States, trying to
enter the country that way.
Texas
Dept. of Public Safety Lt.: 'This Year's Going to Be Catastrophic' on the Border and Worse Than 2021. On
Friday's [3/18/2022] broadcast of the Fox Business Network's "Evening Edit," Texas Department of Public Safety
Lt. Christopher Olivarez said that "we thought last year was complete chaos" on the border, but "this year's going to be
catastrophic." And that "we have the most unsecured border that we have seen in decades." Olivarez said, "[A]t this
time, right now, we have the most unsecured border that we have seen in decades. ... Last year, for fiscal year 2021, between
the months of February through October, there were over 397,000 encounters. Now this year alone, fiscal year 2022, same
timeframe, five months, from October through February, over 837,000 encounters. That goes to show you that when we
thought last year was complete chaos, this year's going to be catastrophic. These numbers are going to surpass last
year's numbers. And we need to brace ourselves, but I'm telling you right now... this is a very — national
security threat, not only to the state of Texas, but to the entire country."

Lawmaker Blasts Biden's Open Borders for Illegal Immigration, Fentanyl Crises. Americans in every
state — not just those in the southwest — should be concerned about President Joe Biden's lack of
border security and the resulting drug crisis, a Texas congressman says. "Every state is a border state now," said
Rep. Brian Babin, R-Texas. "I think the government has spent about $350 million this past year on transportation
costs to let people come across the southern border, whether it be Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, or California, and fly them or

Southwest Border Crossings Surge to 158K in February. Migrant apprehensions in February jumped to nearly
160,000 after declining one month earlier. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials announced on Tuesday that
Border Patrol agents apprehended 158,132 migrants who illegally crossed the border between ports of entry, according to CBP's
Southwest Land Border Encounters report. The apprehensions represent an increase over the previous year's February
report when agents apprehended only 97,643 migrants, the largest number of migrants apprehended in February since 2000.
Axios:
Biden administration fearful of "mass migration event", set up war room operation. The Biden administration
knows it has a looming "mass migration event" in the very near future when it ends the use of Title 42 at the southern
border. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) quietly set up the Southwest Border Coordination Center (SBCC) to
coordinate its response. Think of it as a war room to game out the coming flood of illegal migrants to the southern
border. I say that SBCC was quietly created because before the reporting today by Axios, the war room wasn't reported
on in the media. The reason for the nervous preparation for a mass event is because with the pandemic essentially
ending, at least as far as government mandates go, Title 42 will soon end and illegal migrants won't immediately be expelled
because of public health policy. Implementation of Title 42 was recommended by the CDC to President Trump when the
pandemic began. It allows Border Patrol agents to immediately expel illegal migrants without hearing asylum claims.
Biden
sued for withholding info on controversial migrant housing contracts. A nonprofit watchdog group has sued the
Biden administration for its failure to turn over documents that explain how massive government contracts to detain migrants
at the border were awarded to a former Biden transition team member. The Washington-based American Accountability
Foundation on Wednesday filed two lawsuits against the departments of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security for not
releasing documents about contracts each department gave to the nonprofit organization Endeavors last spring. The AAF
submitted two Freedom of Information Act requests 11 months ago for all communications in an effort to determine if
there was a "quid pro quo" between government officials and a former Biden official, Andrew Lorenzen-Strait, following the
Washington Examiner's investigation in March 2021.
Biden
Weakens Border As Illegal Crossings, Cartel Unrest Grows. U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported 164,973
encounters with illegal crossers at the Southern U.S. border in February, putting the border agency on track to exceed 2 million
apprehensions in the 2022 fiscal year, an all-time record. Of these February encounters, more than 75 percent,
126,151, were single adults. That number is up 11 percent since January when CBP documented 113,132 apprehensions of
single adult border crossers. While apprehensions of individuals in family units decreased 17 percent from 31,998 in
January to 26,582 in February, CBP encounters with unaccompanied children increased by 37 percent, to 12,011, leaving an
average of 520 children in custody each day in February.
Reality
is catching up to Biden on the border. If President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security was proud of
its record on immigration enforcement, its annual U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations report would have come
out as it normally does: shortly after the fiscal year ended last September. But Biden doesn't want voters to know just
how radically he has changed this nation's immigration enforcement policies. So the fiscal 2021 report was delayed for
months and months until its release last week. It confirmed what every immigration observer already knew:
Deportations have plummeted under Biden.
Rep.
Chip Roy to Seek Impeachment Proceedings Against DHS Head Mayorkas. Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) will attempt
to bring impeachment proceedings against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, documents
obtained by The Epoch Times show. The move caps off a full year of Republican dissatisfaction with Mayorkas, who as the
DHS secretary is in charge of border security. In the past year, the United States has seen unprecedented levels of
illegal immigration. Estimates of how many illegal aliens have entered the country since Biden took office vary, but
U.S. Customs and Border Protection data show that about 2 million people illegally crossed the border in 2021, a nearly
fourfold increase from illegal crossings a year earlier. In addition, deportation rates have plunged under Mayorkas'
leadership of the DHS. In 2021, 68 percent fewer illegal immigrants were deported in comparison to 2020; Compared to
2019, the DHS deported 78 percent fewer illegal immigrants. Responsibility for the situation, according to a letter
penned by Roy's office to GOP leadership, lies squarely with Mayorkas.
Officials
Assail Biden Inaction: 'Mexican Cartels Basically Control Our Border Now'. As the fentanyl crisis ravages the
country, elected officials and former border protection and drug enforcement officers are calling on the Biden administration
to take action to secure the U.S.-Mexico border. "If you look at the age group of people between 18 and 45 over the
past year, the leading cause of death is not COVID. It's not cancer. It's not car wrecks. It's not guns.
The leading cause of death with that age group is fentanyl, and it is devastating," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said during a
panel discussion hosted by The Heritage Foundation on Thursday [3/10/2022].
Border
Patrol Apprehends 165,000 Migrants in February, Up 60 Percent from Previous Year. U.S. border agents
encountered 164,973 migrants at the southern border in February, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data
released on Tuesday [3/15/2022]. The number marked an over 60 percent increase from February 2021, which saw 101,099
encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border. "February... registered a slight uptick in the number of encounters along the
Southwest border, with most individuals arriving from Mexico and the Northern Triangle, and the majority of noncitizens
expelled under Title 42," CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus said in a statement.
200
Migrants [were] Released by Feds to NGO Shelter in Texas near Border. Federal officials released approximately
200 migrants in less than an hour to a shelter in the Texas border community of Eagle Pass. The migrants observed by
Breitbart Texas all appeared to be adult single males. A bus operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection pulled up
in front of the Mission Border Hope shelter on late this week to drop off a group of migrants. After a brief
confrontation with shelter managers, Breitbart Texas filmed approximately 50 migrants being released by the federal agency
into the border community.
ICE
announces massive drops in arrests, deportations. The Biden administration slashed interior immigration arrests
by about half compared to the Trump years, according to an overdue report released Friday that details the massive changes at
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE said it made 74,082 arrests in fiscal year 2021, down from more than
103,000 the previous year and more than 143,000 in 2019. Actual deportations also plummeted to 59,011. Under former
President Barack Obama, those numbers topped 400,000 in some years, and under former President Donald Trump, they topped
300,000 in some years. Deportations of gang members dipped by more than 50% compared to the middle of the Trump years.
Border
Breakdown: Treason, Not Incompetence. In this episode of "Beyond the Cover," host Gary Benoit interviews
the story's author, R. Cort Kirkwood, who makes a very strong case that the border breakdown is by design, not incompetence,
and that the word treason is apropos. He also explains why the political elites have effectively erased the
border. [Video clip]
Top
10 ways Biden deluded himself during his State of the Union. Three million people from around the world trying
to illegally break into the country is an invasion he is ignoring. He handed control of the border to the ruthless
cartels, and even demonized horseback border patrol agents falsely accused of whipping illegal migrants. He boasted
about "joint patrols with Mexico and Guatemala to catch more human traffickers," but his administration is providing an
essential link in the trafficking chain when it flies illegal migrants secretly around the country in the dead of night.
NY
Times: Democrats Flip to Republican in 'Political Upheaval' of Border Towns. A couple of years after
former President Trump made significant gains in often Hispanic-majority Democrat counties along the United States-Mexico
border in Texas, a wave of Democrats in one particular community are switching parties to join the GOP. In Terrell
County, Texas, the New York Times reports that multiple elected officials are opting to run — for the first
time — as Republicans rather than as Democrats in a "quiet political upheaval" across U.S. border towns, fueled
mostly by rising crime and constant waves of illegal immigration.
7 Major
Failures of the Biden Presidency. [#1] The Border Crisis: Security at the southern border has been an
ongoing disaster, though one barely given coverage by the legacy media. The massive spike in border crossings initially
was excused by Biden allies in the media as a "seasonal" problem. It was seasonal all right: open-borders
season. Since Biden took office, a historic surge of migrants has crossed the border illegally in numbers that are the
highest in decades. And the problem isn't abating. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. agents
logged 153,941 migrant encounters in January. This was double the number of encounters the previous January, and
quadruple the number from the January before that.
Texas
ranchers turn down Biden aid for illegal immigration damages. Texas ranchers are rejecting an offer from the
federal government to cover property damages resulting from illegal immigration and drug smuggling, fearing the aid will come
with strings attached and won't help with the underlying problems at the border. A Department of Agriculture initiative
to pay landowners across the state for a wide array of losses they sustained due to a surge in trespassers traveling from the
border north into Texas is being met with skepticism and calls for President Joe Biden to secure the border.
Memo
sent to CBP agents on southern border asks for volunteers to go to Poland. A memo to Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) officers working on the U.S.-Mexico border asks for volunteers to temporarily work in Poland to assist
Ukrainian-Americans, legal U.S. residents, and their immediate families fleeing Russia's invasion. At first glance,
this seems like another ridiculous idea coming from the Biden administration. It probably is but it is following how
DHS handled processing Afghan refugees just six months ago.
Del
Rio is new center of border crisis with 31,000 migrants stopped in January. The remote border town that made
headlines last September as tens of thousands of Haitians crossed into it from Mexico has become the top destination for
migrants and the epicenter of the border crisis. Last month, 30,773 people were encountered illegally crossing the
border in Border Patrol's Del Rio sector, which spans 240 miles of the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico boundary.
For each of the town of Del Rio's 34,673 residents, one noncitizen was taken into custody.
Biden
border crisis: 14 Republican attorney generals call for Mayorkas to resign. Homeland Security Secretary
Mayorkas has failed to do his job to secure the southern border so fourteen Republican attorneys general are calling for his
resignation. They wrote to Mayorkas on Tuesday demanding his immediate resignation. It's an exercise in futility
since Mayorkas is simply carrying out Biden's orders. The Biden border crisis is by design. Since his first day
in office, Biden has worked to undo every policy and program used by the previous administration on the issue of illegal
migration. Biden put a freeze on deportations and stopped the Remain in Mexico program, for example, though those
actions have been the subject of legal action from border states. Florida AG Ashley Moody is leading this effort.
Report:
U.S. Immigrant Population Hits Record 46.6 Million. The U.S. population of legal immigrants and illegal migrants
hit 46.6 million in January, up roughly 1.6 million since President Joe Biden was inaugurated, according to federal
data posted by the Center for Immigration Studies. "The 46.6 million immigrants (legal and illegal) in the country in
January 2022 is the largest number recorded in any government survey or decennial census going back to 1850," the CIS says in
a report released on February 23.
DHS
eyes more welfare for legal immigrants as Supreme Court hears challenge. The Biden administration has moved to
make it more attractive for immigrants to sign up for welfare, laying down a marker just days before the Supreme Court is
slated to take up the issue in a legal challenge seeking to restore stricter Trump-era rules. The Homeland Security
Department released a proposal to raise the bar for becoming a "public charge." Joining programs such as Medicaid won't
be counted against most immigrants, it said. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said immigrants "will not
be penalized for choosing to access the health benefits and other supplemental government services available to them."
Biden
to pay Texas ranchers, farmers for migrant damages, offers nothing new to stop the flow. The Biden
administration, after pressure from ranchers and farmers, has agreed to reimburse Texan landowners for damages caused by
illegal immigrants, but failed to address the ongoing crisis at the border. The United States Department of Agriculture
(USDA) announced Wednesday that they would be releasing funds through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to
provide financial assistance to farmers and ranchers on the southern border. The funding for this endeavor come from
the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) "which provides financial and technical assistance" to "address natural
resource concerns." The concerns in question are the "damage to fields and farming infrastructure, including fencing
and water structures."
Supreme
Court Takes Up Review of 'Remain in Mexico' Policy. The Supreme Court on Friday [2/18/2022] agreed to hear
President Joe Biden's request to terminate the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy. Formally called the Migrant
Protection Protocols (MPP), the program requires the federal government to send migrants back to Mexico while their asylum
hearings are pending. "The case will be set for argument in the second week of the April 2022 argument session," the
Supreme Court wrote. Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) suspended new enrollments into the MPP during his
first month in office last January. A legal battle ensued when Biden's DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued a memo
terminating the program in June. Then, Texas-based federal Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk ordered Biden to "enforce and
implement MPP in good faith" following a lawsuit from Texas and Missouri.
The
Biden Border Solution: More Facilities to Get Migrants in Even Faster. [Scroll down] "The
decision was made, according to the document, after analyzing surge patterns from migrants. The permanent facilities
will replace temporary facilities in the same sectors. The sectors in the memo have faced some of the highest numbers
of migrants in the entire country. Del Rio, for example, saw more than 259,000 migrants apprehended in the 2021 fiscal
year," WFB adds. This is the exact opposite of a solution — it doubles down on crazy. And it doesn't
exactly address Agent Garza's concerns about human trafficking and drug smuggling.
7,000
U.S. Doctors [are] Sidelined Every Year by Foreigners Winning Taxpayer-Funded Residencies. Every year, more than
7,000 American citizens and green card-holders lose out on United States taxpayer-funded residencies to foreign nationals
despite having earned their degrees as medical graduate physicians, bombshell congressional testimony reveals. Kevin
Lynn with Doctors Without Jobs unveiled the data to the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Immigration and
Citizenship on Tuesday, sounding the alarm on "graduate medical education profiteers." "Each year, over 7,000 U.S.
citizens and lawful permanent resident medical graduate physicians — with include seniors and prior-year
graduates — do not match for a medical residency, all of whom are qualified, ready, and willing doctors who have
been sidelined and are waiting to serve their communities now," Lynn said.
Joe Biden, Alchemist?
[Scroll down] Competing with this failure was the Biden failure at the border. Distilling this mess was even
trickier, because most of Biden's supporters believe that he successfully turned a secure border into a golden open
one. So again, Biden was the proverbial alchemist who insisted that his own pig iron policies actually created a
24-karat border, albeit unperceivable to ordinary Americans. Most Americans polled expressed their horror at the idea
of nearly 2 million pouring across the border — illegally, without means of support, unvaccinated and untested in
a time of pandemic, without English or skills, cutting ahead of patiently waiting legal applicants, unvetted with no idea how
many had criminal records. All that required more of Biden's alchemy to turn that dross into glitter. As a
result, we were told that apprehensions for a time were up (e.g., if you let in millions and detain only a small fraction,
that tiny number can still exceed the sum of detentions during times of a secure border with almost no illegal crossings.)
Then we were told it was the fault of Mexico and Central America — as if for the first time in history they
dared to export human capital to rein in $60 billion in annual remittances.
'Ghost
Flights': The Mystery of the Migrant Kids the Feds Are Spiriting Into the U.S. Interior. After months of delay,
the Department of Homeland Security replied late last month to a Congressional demand for information about the number of
illegal migrants the department has flown from border towns to communities around the country. In 2021, it said, 71,617
were dropped off in nearly 20 cities including locales as far from the Mexican border as Atlanta, Chicago, New York and
Philadelphia. Immigration experts critical of the Biden administration's permissive immigration policies believe those
numbers are incomplete, especially regarding the most vulnerable migrants, those under 18, whom DHS classifies as
"unaccompanied children." The agency says some 40,000 of the total transported are such minors, but that number is only
a fraction of the 147,000 "encounters" the agency reports having with unaccompanied migrant children at the southern border
between January and October 2021. Paramount among the questions raised by the transports is what happens to the
unaccompanied children once they leave the airport? The major cities DHS lists, the experts say, are probably simply
way stations rather than final destinations.
2K
Migrants Cross into One West Texas Border Sector in 2 Days. Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended
more than 2,000 migrants during a 48-hour period in what is becoming the nation's busiest sector. Del Rio Sector Chief
Patrol Agent Jason D. Owens tweeted photos showing groups of migrants being apprehended after they illegally cross the border
from Mexico into Texas. The chief reported his agents arrested more than 2,000 migrants, including unaccompanied
children, in a 48-hour time frame.
Time
to worry: the Biden government is redefining core principles. [Scroll down] And just yesterday,
Townhall's Spencer Brown caught a significant change to the mission statement for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services: The old version: ["]U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services administers the nation's lawful
immigration system, safeguarding its integrity and promise by efficiently and fairly adjudicating requests for immigration
benefits while protecting Americans, securing the homeland, and honoring our values.["] That's straightforward
enough: America is a nation of laws, some of which govern immigration, and the USCIS is responsible for enforcing those
laws fairly and in a way that protects Americans and America. The new version is much shorter: ["]USCIS
upholds America's promise as a nation of welcome and possibility with fairness, integrity, and respect for all we serve.["]
Suddenly, USCIS is unconcerned with the rule of law and unconcerned with protecting Americans. It is, instead, an organization
that exists to make life easier for the millions of illegal aliens the Biden administration is encouraging to enter America and
then, once they are in America, funding and resettling in districts that willfully refuse to vote for Democrats.
If saving money is the goal, keep them out of the country at the first opportunity. But that's not really the goal. Biden
is planning on putting single migrant adults caught on the Mexican border under house arrest in Baltimore and
Houston. The Biden administration is looking to place hundreds of migrants under part-time house arrest, as a
cheaper alternative to holding them at detention facilities amid record-high crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border. The
120-day pilot program will begin in Houston and Baltimore, where 100 to 200 single adults placed under house arrest in each
location, according to a notice sent by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and reviewed by Reuters. The
so-called 'home curfew' pilot would cost just $6-8 per day, far less than the $142 daily cost of immigration detention.
The Editor says...
I am in favor of the "home curfew" plan — provided that the "home" is on the other side of the border.
Miranda
Devine On DHS Flying Illegal Migrants: This Just Looks Like A Federal Government "Scam". Fox News
Contributor Miranda Devine discusses DHS flying illegal migrants to different parts of the U.S. in the middle of the night
and who Biden's potential pick to replace Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer: "Last October we went and staked out
Westchester airport after a tipoff that these planes were coming in, and we saw three of them come in. We followed the
buses, we saw that they were disgorging these illegal migrants at one point into a rest stop in New Jersey to be picked up by
supposedly family or so-called sponsors. There didn't seem to be any vetting of these people. I mean, it just
looks like a deliberate scam to get as many people away from the southern border as quickly as possible by the federal
government so that the optics down there don't look terrible. And they are flying them all over the country, as you
said, whether it be California, Louisiana, New York, New Jersey. There are flights going every single day, charter
flights, and it is costing, you know, tens of millions, probably hundreds of millions of dollars. [...]"

Trump
Border Chief Reveals 'Invasion' at Southern Border. The crisis on our southern border continues to get worse by
the day, critics say. Washington's failure to control illegal immigration is resulting in an influx of drugs and gang
violence that makes the country less safe. Mark Morgan, acting commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection
during the Trump administration, is furious that a solid southern border has been transformed into the Wild West in the first
year of the Biden administration.
Reuters:
Joe Biden Delivers Latino Child Labor to Slaughterhouses. The Reuters news agency has exposed one small corner
of the federal government's extraction of debt-trapped child workers from poor countries for use in low-wage, low-tech,
dangerous workplaces. From Enterprise, Alabama, the news agency reported on a teenager who was delivered by federal
officials to an Alabama home close to a chicken processing company: [...]
Mexican
authorities evict Tijuana migrant camp near border. About a hundred members of the police, National Guard and
army on Sunday evicted 381 migrants, mainly Central Americans and Mexicans, from a makeshift camp they had been staying in
for almost a year in Tijuana at the U.S. border crossing. The migrants' tents around El Chaparral crossing were
demolished with the help of excavators and trucks while their inhabitants loaded their few belongings into bags and suitcases
to be transferred to three local shelters.
Can
the Border Patrol survive Joe Biden? The Biden administration has transformed and imperiled the mission of the
Border Patrol through migration policies that have led to a crisis at the southern border, current and former agents
say. Border Patrol agents broke protocol to claim in interviews with the Washington Examiner that their jobs have been
remade since President Joe Biden took office a year ago. They say that they have been redirected from fulfilling a law
enforcement and national security role to working as though they were in an Ellis Island-style welcome center. Four of
the agents agreed to speak anonymously about their concerns even though doing so risks termination. The rising
frustration among agents has also manifested in leaked videos of the rank and file in angry confrontations with leadership in
recent private meetings. Still other agents have had enough and have quit the agency, anticipating that matters won't
change in the next three years.
Independent
journo exposes who is funding illegal immigrant flights. Independent journalist Ali Bradley interviewed Sister
Norma Pimentel of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley concerning the non-governmental organization's funding of
airline tickets for illegal immigrants and how taxpayer money is being used to subsidize it. The reporter previously
interviewed Sister Pimentel in August. The revelation concerning the NGO sparked further outrage over the Biden
administration facilitating the transporting of illegal immigrants from the southern border to towns and cities across the
nation. The administration has been secretly flying them in the dead of night without notice for months. Catholic
Charities appears to be supporting the illegal activity on moral grounds.
Catholic
Charity Admits Receiving Money From Biden Administration to Traffic Illegals Across U.S.. The leader of the
Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley (CCRGV) has admitted their organization is taking federal money to traffic
illegal aliens across the U.S. after they invade the border. "We got lucky to be reimbursed for some of the efforts
that we have been doing for so long and that's good and that is taxpayer money," said Sister Norma Pimentel, who works as
CCRGV executive director.
What's
the deal with Biden's 'ghost flights' of illegal aliens? Is the Biden administration quietly importing large
numbers of illegal aliens through midnight flights? That would be a reasonable conclusion based on recent reports about
the Biden administration's resettlement process. The White House is being accused of chartering flights for hundreds of
"mostly minor-age" illegal aliens to Pennsylvania, according to a report.
Illegal
immigrants [are being] smuggled inside portable toilets. Border Patrol agents found 14 illegal immigrants
stuffed inside two portable toilets last week and arrested an American man who said he was being paid to smuggle them deeper
into the U.S. Agents sniffed out the smuggling operation after receiving a report of a drone incursion near McAllen,
Texas. When they responded, the agents found a pickup truck pulling a flatbed trailer with two portable toilets.
The truck refused to pull over at first but eventually yielded, and when agents approached, they said they saw shoes through
a partially open toilet door.
DeSantis
strikes against Biden immigration policy with amended lawsuit. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Attorney
General Ashley Moody filed an amended complaint saying the Biden administration's latest immigration policy is
unlawful. The new policy, called "Parole + Alternatives to Detention," releases illegal immigrants within the borders
of the United States without starting a legal process for removal. The complaint states that federal immigration
officials are assisting migrants in resettling around the country and that the Transportation Security Administration is
"accepting immigration arrest warrants as identification sufficient to board a domestic flight."
Calls
for DHS Secretary to Be Impeached. The Heritage Foundation's new president and its homeland security team are
calling for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to be impeached by Republicans if he will not
step down due to his terrible handling of the ongoing crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. The think tank is the latest
conservative heavyweight to call for impeachment as Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) says he will lead the charge of impeaching
Mayorkas if Republicans take back Congress in the upcoming midterms. It also comes after Mayorkas' disastrous meetings
with Border Patrol agents stationed at the southern border, where agents vented their frustrations at the Biden
administration's open border policies and they leaked audio and video of the tense meetings to the media. In addition
to the high number of illegal crossings agents have had to deal with in 2021, they were frustrated they have been unable to
arrest hardened criminals and seize drugs, like fentanyl, because they are often bogged down with processing family units and
children who willingly gave themselves up.
Leaked
video shows federal contractors flying migrants to suburban NY. Leaked video shows migrants being transported
on secret charter flights under the cover of night from southern border states to Westchester, New York. "The
government is betraying the American people," a federal contractor told a Westchester County police officer in a conversation
recorded on the officer's body camera on the tarmac of a Westchester airport on Aug. 13, 2021. The footage was obtained
via a Freedom of Information Act request by former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino. Reports first surfaced of
such flights back in October when the New York Post captured video of the scene at the airport in White Plains, New York.
Biden's
Apathy Toward His Drug-Plagued Border Crisis Is Killing People. Drug overdoses in the U.S., many
fentanyl-related, reached record highs in 2021 and are on track to cause more deaths in 2022 as President Joe Biden ignores
his ongoing crisis at the southern border, which is responsible for a large portion of drug trafficking in the nation.
Biden and his team at the White House are intentionally ignoring the growing border crisis even though since the beginning of
the 2021 calendar year, border officials arrested more than 2 million illegal aliens, often aided and funded by the United
Nations, at the southern U.S. border. Already, Customs and Border Protection data indicates that apprehensions on the
U.S.-Mexico border in the 2022 fiscal year will exceed 2 million.
Biden
Encourages Massive Illegal Immigration and Tries To Hide It With Secret Flights. The Biden administration
doesn't want media attention on illegal immigration, its open border policies, or the results of those policies. How do
we know? A security officer just said so, in an explosive video of secretive, dark-of-night flights transporting
illegal immigrants to various points throughout the U.S. This video merits coast-to-coast media coverage, not just to
expose the administration's stealth operations that flout the laws, but to encourage Americans and leaders at all levels of
government to demand that the administration start protecting our border, our country, and our citizens.
Video
Shows 4 Busloads Of Illegals, Mostly Young Males, Being Dumped Into Florida. Dozens of single, mostly male
adult migrants were shuttled from a makeshift processing center in Texas to a local airport for flights to various US
cities — marking the first time such a transfer has been captured on video amid the ongoing border crisis,
according to a report Tuesday. The scene began unfolding Sunday outside a parking garage in Brownsville, where a
makeshift processing center was set up in a vacant office, Fox News said. A video recording shows a line of men and
women being escorted into the office, after which some of them left and got into taxi cabs that arrived to pick them
up. [Video clip]
Cartels
Have Operational Control of US Border, Are 'Terrorizing' the US, Says Rep. Chip Roy. Mexican cartels are
making billions of dollars from drug trafficking, human smuggling, and exploiting the U.S. border, Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas)
said. Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 1.3 million illegal immigrants crossing into Texas from Mexico in
2021, while hundreds of thousands more weren't captured. Seizures of the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl have sharply
increased, as have overdose deaths in the United States. "We have 100,000 Americans die from opioid poisonings.
They're not really overdoses — they're poisonings," Roy told NTD's "Capitol Report" on Jan. 28. "China is moving
it through Mexico, cartels are making money, China is getting empowered, America's getting hammered — all because this
administration refuses to do its job of securing the border."
The
brains behind Biden's border disaster. Before Afghanistan, before inflation, before omicron, President Joe
Biden's first failure in office occurred at the southern border. In March, Biden tried to claim that the flood of
migrants illegally crossing from Mexico was just a seasonal blip , but that talking point quickly expired. By April,
even CNN was calling the situation at the border a crisis, and by the end of his first year in office, a record 2 million
migrants were arrested while illegally crossing the border. Another 2 million are expected next year. The cause
of Biden's border crisis is obvious to any honest person: On his first day in office, Biden ended the "Remain in
Mexico" program that former President Donald Trump had created to close a loophole that migrants were exploiting in our
asylum process. With this loophole reopened, migrants began exploiting it again. According to a New Yorker profile
published this week, this never occurred to the staff Biden appointed to implement his immigration policies.
What
will it take for Biden to stop sneaking illegal migrants in the US? Border agents are in open revolt, slamming
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Border Patrol chief Raul Ortiz when they visited to try to boost
morale. "You're allowing illegal aliens to be dropped off in communities," one fumed. Security contractors for
the administration's secret flights are outraged, too, with one calling the operation "the government betraying the American
people." A [New York] Post exposé got the flights to Westchester stopped, while revealing that the migrants
brought in include clear adults as well as the minors Team Biden claimed. But the operation continues across the
country. This seems to be Biden's real answer to the flood of more than 2 million migrants who've entered illegally in
his first year: Publicize the few you send back, while spreading the rest out, including single men with criminal
records such as assault and drug possession. Indeed, fresh video from San Antonio, Texas, shows young men streaming in
with the feds' aid.
GOP
states sue to stop Biden's special program for Central American kids. Republican attorneys general broadened
their legal battle against President Biden's immigration policies in a new lawsuit announced Friday that challenges a federal
program to shortcut the smuggling journey and bring children directly from Central America. The Central American Minors
program, or CAM, allows people already in the U.S. to petition to bring their children legally even if the parents jumped the
border to get here. The Biden team says the program is a recognition of reality — the children are surging
here already, usually braving a torturous trip that can involve assault, rape and sickness, so eliminating the need for that
trip can save lives.
Joe Biden,
enemy of America. From the moment Joe Biden stepped into the Oval Office as president it became clear that he
stole the job in order to destroy America from within. [...] He stopped the construction of the southern border wall, costing
more jobs and leaving millions of dollars' worth of equipment rotting in the desert. Biden would not even let Texas use
the construction materials themselves; any wall would impede the Biden plan to import over two million migrants from around
the world, to be given funds and to spread them throughout the nation into unsuspecting cities. [...] As those Border Patrol
and ICE agents can attest, Biden is now a full partner in collusion with the drug and human traffickers that are the
cartels. In fact, Biden is probably, it's fair to say, the largest sex and human trafficker on the planet right now.
Biden
covers up huge influx of illegal migrants. Last summer I was notified of secret overnight flights coming into
Westchester County Airport that were transporting thousands of illegal immigrants apprehended at the southern border.
Having overseen the airport during my tenure as county executive, I knew that flights arriving after midnight are not allowed
so I started asking questions publicly. Who are on these planes? Have they been vetted and COVID tested?
How many flights so far and how many more are scheduled? Where are these illegal immigrants being placed and who is
paying for all this? Have background checks been done, especially on the adults? What happened next was entirely
predictable. I and other local residents were called "racist" and "xenophobic" simply for asking questions.
Seemingly, neither the current county executive nor the governor cared or had any interest in knowing what was happening in
their jurisdiction.
What
to make of Biden secretly transporting illegal aliens into the US. Two days ago, the New York Post reported the
following: "Under cover of darkness, every night the federal government is transporting illegal migrants as fast as it
can away from the border on secret charter flights into unsuspecting communities around the country. Officials have
lied and obstructed the few journalists who have tried to reveal the truth." This has been an old Democrat
project. They begin by inviting illegal immigrants either explicitly or implicitly through various public forums.
They then allow numerous illegal aliens into the country by opening up the border. Since these migrants are uneducated,
unskilled, and impoverished they depend on government welfare for their survival. This makes them a permanent
underclass who the Democrats think will be perennially subservient to them. Many of these migrants eventually are
transferred to locations where Republicans traditionally win. The Democrats know they can never convince conservatives
to vote for their radical left-wing policies. So they drown the impact of these resident voters by giving voting rights
to a sufficient number of migrants to facilitate a Democrat win. Soon they plan to have a permanent presence in the
House, Senate, and the White House.
Single
Adult Male Migrants Cross the Border with No ID, Given a Notarized Paper. Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) said
Wednesday [1/26/2022] that the groups of single adult male migrants being transported to other parts of the country are "not
the family units" that the Biden administration "has played in front of cameras, saying these are people fleeing desperate
situations." Instead, many don't undergo background checks or even have identification. They just get "a notarized
piece of paper" saying "I am who I say I am," and they're able to board a plane and go anywhere in the United States, the
congresswoman told Fox Business's "Mornings with Maria Bartiromo." "This is not the family units that is the
administration has played in front of cameras, saying these are people fleeing desperate situations. No, there are a
lot of young single-adult males that have crossed, and I personally have seen them at the border myself. The background
checks are certainly not sufficient," she said.
'Betraying
the American people': Leaked video reveals Joe Biden's 'hush hush' migrant invasion. While Joe Biden and Nancy
Pelosi go all out to protect Ukraine's national sovereignty, at the same time they are orchestrating a clandestine invasion
of America across the southern border. Two million illegal immigrants from dozens of countries crossed over from Mexico
last year, and the Biden administration is facilitating the cartels' people-smuggling operation — at taxpayer
expense. Under cover of darkness, every night the federal government is transporting illegal migrants as fast as it can
away from the border on secret charter flights into unsuspecting communities around the country. Officials have lied
and obstructed the few journalists who have tried to reveal the truth. This is nothing short of a betrayal of the
American people. And that's not just me saying it — those are exactly the words of one federal government
contractor employed to transport migrants from the southern border to the airport in White Plains.
Reaction to the article above: "I
Told You So" Doesn't Even Begin To Do It. [Scroll down] I'm quite certain this would be an impeachable
offense were Donald Trump still president. [...] But he, and we, were called "racists" and demonized as "deplorable"
haters. Deplorables standing in the way of them lining their pockets and giving our country over to global rule.
So let ME be clear: "undocumented" — a euphemism for illegal alien — isn't a race, it's a
criminal. So stop calling me a racist for objecting to 25 million criminals being dispersed throughout our
country. We're being overrun by people whose primary interest in this country is getting better stuff for free courtesy
of the American taxpayer, and we've got an old man at the wheel yelling at the sky about the end of the world because...
weather. When you live in a country where you can get arrested for fishing or hunting without a license or for trying
to eat in a restaurant without your vax card but not for entering the country illegally... well, your country is being run by
a bunch of idiots.
The
Biden Thug Gang Are Using ICE To Relocated and Release Countless Illegals, Mostly Young Men Into The US.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations have been turned into an "unofficial travel
coordination agency," and agents are made to coordinate travel for some illegal immigrants with criminal records, an ICE
source told Fox News on Wednesday [1/26/2022]. The ICE official was reacting to Fox News' reporting that single adult
illegal immigrants are being quickly processed and released into the U.S. in large numbers via a hub in Brownsville,
Texas. Fox News footage showed several federally contracted buses dropping off dozens of mostly male migrants at a
parking garage in Brownsville, Texas. Black tarps were set up with a makeshift sign that said "Border Patrol drop-off"
above it. [Video clip]

Team: Kamala eggs on illegal immigrants from Honduras, Joe sneaks them in back home. It's doubtful that
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris like one another, but there seems to be a coordinated effort between the two to bring in more
illegal immigrants to the states, something they are succeding at rather spectacularly. How else do we explain Kamala
Harris's trip to Honduras, to attend the presidential inauguration of radical left-wing presidenta, Xiomara Castro, while Joe
Biden's minions are sneaking in illegals by the thousands away from the cameras and flying them at taxpayer expense to their
destinations of choice? Biden's turned the immigration enforcement agencies into a concierge, valet and taxi service
for illegals. Kamala, meanwhile, is down there to bring in corporations and NGOs to enable.
Biden
Admin Caught Allegedly Releasing Large Number Of Single Adult Illegal Aliens Into U.S.. Fox News reporter Bill
Melugin caught Democrat President Joe Biden's administration allegedly releasing a large group of single adult illegal aliens
into the United States in Texas. "Fox witnessed men go into a small, unmarked office, then re-emerge moments later as
multiple taxi cabs then showed up to collect the migrants — who were then shuttled off to nearby Harlingen
Airport. There were no children or migrant families among the groups," Fox News reported. "Several of the
migrants told Fox that they had crossed illegally that morning, paying approximately $2,000 per person to cartel
smugglers. They also said they were flying to destinations including Miami, Houston and Atlanta." The city of
Brownsville told Fox News that it works with the Biden administration to to facilitate "the transfer of these migrants to
their final destination by allowing them to use services to contact their families, NGOs, or a taxicab."
It's
Not Just Illegal Aliens Our Southern Border Guards Against. Back when he assumed office, President Biden
essentially implemented an open borders policy. It's been a disaster on top of his other disasters, with millions of
illegal invaders flooding into the country from around the world in the middle of a pandemic. Day by day, additional
threats are emerging that illustrate that he needs to change course before it's too late. [...] The world is getting more
dangerous by the day, with bad actors from around the world gearing up to take full advantage of Biden's weakness, if not
downright dementia. The open southern border would be the perfect avenue to wreak havoc with law enforcement tasked
with babysitting over border security. Even worse, the coyotes running the smuggling operations along the border can
simply distract the Border Patrol at one point to bring in far more dangerous people or contraband at another.
Tennessee
bill would relocate illegal immigrants to Biden's hometown. A Tennessee bill filed Wednesday [1/26/2022] would
relocate illegal immigrants to the hometowns of President Joe Biden and other top Democratic leaders who are overseeing the
border crisis. Tennessee state Rep. Bruce Griffey introduced the bill in an effort to highlight the need for
increased border security. "The Biden administration is quietly moving thousands of illegals to various states,
including Tennessee, by putting them on planes and buses and transporting them in the middle of the night, and we should
return them to their sender," Griffey said in a statement. "I imagine that if we relocated them to the backyards of
those responsible for allowing the flood of illegal immigration across our border, then those with federal power might be
more apt to secure the border and secure it quickly."
DHS
Secretary Had a Disastrous Meeting with Border Patrol Agents. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas' meeting with Border Patrol agents in the Yuma Sector on Wednesday did not go well after he admitted the
staggering number of illegal border crossings has made the agents' job more difficult. In an audio recording of his
remarks to the agents, which was obtained by Townhall, Mayorkas conceded the massive influx of people illegally crossing into
the sector, along with the rest of the southern sectors, has not been easy. "The job has not gotten any easier over the
last few months and it was very, very difficult throughout 2021. I know apprehending families and kids is not what you
signed up to do. And now we got a composition that is changing even more with Cubans, Venezuelans, Nicaraguans,
and the like, it just gets more difficult," Mayorkas said in the recording.
Illegal
Immigrant Apprehensions Reach 20-Year High in Biden's First Year. U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents
apprehended more than 2 million migrants at the southwest border during President Joe Biden's first year in office, likely
the highest number in over 20 years, according to a National Review analysis of CBP data. According to the data, agents
encountered 2,033,863 migrants at the border in 2021, with the vast majority — more than 1.9 million —
being apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol officers. The rest were apprehended by Office of Field Operations agents at
U.S. ports of entry.
Biden
official: American interest in Ukraine is ensuring borders are "inviolate". A fun leftover from yesterday
and our latest entry in the Someone Left The Irony On Department. With brinksmanship escalating between the US, the
European Union, and Ukraine, CNN's John Berman asks a solid question: why should Americans care about the fate of this
country on the eastern edge of Europe? Jonathan Finer, deputy national security adviser to Joe Biden, says we should be
all about enforcing border security and recognizing national sovereignty. [...] This administration refuses to address our
own border crisis that Biden and Kamala Harris touched off with their campaign rhetoric and bungled policy
reversals. They won't even talk about it now, trying their best to distract from the tsunami of migration that is still
overwhelming our border security apparatus.
Democrats suddenly
value border security, just not the US border. Nancy Pelosi is even more agitated tonight than usual. On
a conference call just hours ago, Pelosi demanded that her members vote immediately on a piece of legislation she says is
critical to our national security. The bill she's talking about, among other things, affirms the central importance of
national borders. Well, of course, it does. Without a border, you can't have a country. And Nancy Pelosi
firmly believes that. In fact, she believes it so strongly she's directing the Biden administration to develop an
urgent new plan to keep the border secure. In fact, not simply secure, but in the words of the new legislation,
Section 208, inviolable, meaning impossible to breach. Walled up and buttoned-down. Bulletproof. That's quite
a border. But why wouldn't it be? When it comes to borders, Nancy Pelosi isn't messing around. Are you
surprised to hear this? Well, you may have misunderstood. Pelosi isn't talking about the U.S. border, the one
that's currently open. She's talking about the Ukrainian border, the one that actually matters.
DHS
encountered a record 2 million illegal immigrants on southern border in 2021. Homeland Security recorded more
than 2 million encounters with illegal immigrants at the southern border last year, shattering previous records, as the Biden
administration relaxed the country's immigration policies. The department released final December numbers on Monday and
announced a snap visit by Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the border later this week to try to take stock of the
situation. He'll likely hear the grim details from agents themselves: The numbers have never looked worse for
border illegal activity.
Now
the UN is 'helping' rejected migrants recover 'repressed memories' to get asylum status. Todd Bensman, who's
doing yeoman's work on the international rackets enabling big migrant surges at the U.S. border, has found the United Nations
at the nexus of the matter, aiding and abetting illegal immigration into the U.S., and not for the first time. [...] How very
convenient. And how very phony. So many rejected migrants now have repressed memories of torture and political
persecution that all of them now qualify for asylum status in the states. All they have to do is visit one of these
United Nations-funded chop shops and they'll cook up a good narrative for them to present. The 'science' of 'repressed
memories' has long been a controversial matter, given that most of it is junk science.

Why does the United States host and support the United Nations, while the UN is actively undermining the U.S.?
On
Crime, You Must Ask The Right Questions To Get Good Answers. Herman Cain was fond of saying that you need to
ask "the Right Questions." His point was simple. If you saw a car slammed into a tree, you didn't worry about what
color it was. [...] In short, you had to consider what was most important at the moment, and then proceed to other questions
only as the more important ones were answered. A classic example of failure to do this was Vice President Harris's
assertion that we had migrants crossing our southern border illegally because of climate change at home. If we assume
that climate change is real and has bad effects, she might be right about it having some minor effect, but there won't be any
migrants who agree with her. They all risked their lives to find a better life in a freer country than they had at
home. The Chief Cackler flunked the first rule by never asking any questions, much less the right ones.
The Editor says...
I have questions for VP Harris: Why would the climate change in every country but the U.S. — so severely that
thousands of people had to move here? Does climate change stop at the Rio Grande? Why can't the climate refugees
stop in Mexico? How did you get your job, and how do you keep it?
The
TSA's stunning admission about how illegal aliens board American planes. In response to a congressman's request
for information based upon a whistleblower's tip, the TSA admitted that illegal aliens are allowed to fly even if the only
identification they have is an arrest warrant or warrant of removal from DHS related to their illegal status. So, while
you're flashing the REAL ID driver's license that was a total pain to obtain, the illegal alien in front of you just shows
his arrest warrant. That'll teach those illegal aliens not to break into our country. [...] Someone who is in the
country illegally shouldn't have the privilege of hopping onto an airplane. Even as Joe Biden has made masks mandatory
and is contemplating forcing vaccines on air travelers, illegal aliens have been flying around America as if they own
it. Once again, leftists are punishing American citizens and legal residents, while at the same time making it clear
that people who are illegally in this country get special treatment. I don't believe that America has ever before
suffered a governing class that despises the people it governs.
Border
Sheriff: 'Extremely Organized' Large Groups of Illegal Aliens Sneaking Through Texas County. Traveling at night
with backpacks and dark clothing, large groups of up to 50 illegal aliens, mostly young men from Mexico, are clandestinely
traversing this small Texas county doing everything possible to avoid getting caught. While small groups have been
crossing the U.S.-Mexico border into Kinney County, Texas, for years, now it's large, well-organized groups that have law
enforcement worried. "It's extremely organized," Kinney County Sheriff Brad Coe told The Epoch Times on Jan. 18.
"And the groups are getting bigger. Even if you run a group of 25 and they get caught, you're tied up, so you can run
your group of 50 and 60 somewhere else. Or you can run your drugs through."
The
Border Crisis Is Bad, But In Mexico A Larger Crisis Looms. [Scroll down] And it's not as simple as
cartels versus the government because the two groups often overlap. Last March, a former mayor of the town of
Aguililla, about 50 miles south of Tepalcatepec, was arrested in Guatemala on a U.S. warrant for allegedly brokering a
$4 million deal on behalf of the United Cartels. The plan was to ship a half-ton of methamphetamine to Florida, hidden
in concrete tiles and house paint. With the assistance of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the former mayor was
taken into custody in Guatemala City and the drugs in Florida were seized. It was the largest meth seizure in
Miami-Dade County history. Hours after the arrest, CJNG attacked Aguililla in force. According to some reports,
26 people were killed in what amounted to a massacre. Eight of them were decapitated. Cartel violence of this
sort is getting worse in Mexico.
Tim
Perry out as chief of staff at ICE. Timothy Perry is out as chief of staff at ICE amid questions over the
deportation agency's plummeting arrest numbers. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed his departure but
did not give a reason for the sudden change. One law enforcement source said Mr. Perry was ousted by Homeland
Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over concern about ICE's enforcement numbers, which show a serious deterioration in the
agency's operations over the last year.
It is as if Cloward and Piven are in charge of the border. Biden
buries immigration courts in 'avalanche' with 1.6 million pending cases amid border crisis. The number of
immigration cases waiting to be decided in federal court has increased at a faster rate under the Biden administration than
under any other president, according to a report published Tuesday by a nonpartisan research organization. Nearly
1.6 million people have cases pending in the U.S. immigration court system, the most ever recorded in history, according
to the Transnational Records Access Clearinghouse, an affiliate of Syracuse University in New York. The dramatic
increase means illegal immigrants will wait years before having their claims decided, and that is expected to grow worse as
the southern border crisis intensifies. Of the total number of backlogged cases, 305,427 cases were added to the docket
since March 2021, when the number of noncitizens illegally crossing the southern border from Mexico surged to the highest
levels ever seen. The onslaught of cases has buried the fewer than 500 immigration judges nationwide in an "avalanche."
Human
Smugglers Earn $1B from U.S.-Mexico Border in December 2021. Internal U.S. Customs and Border protection
documents reviewed by Breitbart Texas report that human smugglers received up to $1 billion in December 2021 alone. On
average, migrants claimed to have paid smugglers more than $5,000 per person — with more than 170,000 apprehended
in the month. The number is likely much higher considering more than 400,000 migrants are believed to have eluded
Border Patrol apprehension in 2021. The document shows migrants, on average, paid more than $8,000 each to human
traffickers in the San Diego sector. Migrants interviewed in the Del Rio Sector admitted to paying slightly more than
$4,000 per person.
If you like Africa so much, stay there! Illegal
Bushmeat Confiscated From Travelers At MSP Airport. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers say they have
confiscated bushmeat multiple times since December at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport. CBP said
officers seized over 100 pounds in the last week of December from U.S. citizens returning from Liberia. The trend
"could have deadly effects and lead to another outbreak of disease," a release said. The passengers declared "fish" on
their written and verbal declarations, but upon further inspection, officers found fish and bushmeat in the same package.
The Minnesota Department of Agriculture says bushmeat is raw or minimally processed meat which comes from wild animals such as
monkeys, cane rats, bats, and other nonhuman primates. The meat, which is often smoked, dried, or salted, poses a risk
of human infection and the spread of Ebola virus.
Pennsylvania
State GOP proposes bill to divert 'secret' migrant flights to Biden's home state of Delaware. Pennsylvania's
Republican-led state senate has plans to put forth a bill that would divert flights carrying migrants across the U.S. to
President Biden's home state of Delaware. The bill would implement a 'transportation program' to address the
'unauthorized relocation' of undocumented migrants to Pennsylvania. 'If the federal government is not willing to provide
extra dollars to communities that have experienced increased strain on their healthcare systems, increased number of students
in school districts and education costs and other services within our communities, then they shouldn't be forced to take on
more illegal immigrants and the additional financial responsibility,' state Sen. Mario Scavello of Mount Pocono wrote in
a memo announcing the legislation.
Pennsylvania
Republicans to draft bill to relocate migrants on Biden DHS flights to Delaware. Republicans in the
Pennsylvania State Senate plan to draft a bill that would relocate migrants entering the state on Biden
administration-sponsored flights to the president's home state of Delaware. State Sen. Mario Scavello, a
Republican from Mount Pocono, issued a memo to colleagues asking them to support the forthcoming bill. "In the very
near future, I intend to introduce legislation to address the influx of illegal immigrants being relocated into
Pennsylvania," Scavello wrote, adding that his legislation will be fashioned after similar intentions voiced by Florida
Gov. Ron DeSantis. The legislation would implement a transportation program for the relocation of migrants from
the commonwealth to the neighboring state of Delaware, according to Scavello's memo.
Texas
judge rules apprehension of illegal immigrant by soldiers along Rio Grande was Unconstitutional. A county judge
in Texas dealt a blow to Governor Greg Abbott's controversial 'Operation Lone Star' after ruling his national guard's
apprehension of an illegal immigrant unconstitutional Thursday. Operation Lone Star was created by Abbott amidst a wave
of illegal immigrants from Central America crossing the US-Mexico border. It deploys law enforcement in areas human and
drug smugglers are known to use. The ruling could see the initiative stifled with attorneys saying that it could open a
path for other immigrants to challenge their detention.
Biden's
Immigration Policy Should Infuriate Hispanics. Believing they can gain votes needed for a permanent majority,
Democrats engage in a cynical practice of open borders that is harmful to those who attempt the trip. At least 650
individuals died while attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border in 2021, with hundreds others either unaccounted for on
land or lost attempting to reach Florida by sea. Many thousands suffered abuse, including rape, at the hands of gang
members. Even after arriving, illegals may be forced into indentured service of some kind. A border policy
constructed around vote-getting is bound to fail, and Biden's border policy is a catastrophe. Under President Trump,
the border was quickly secured and the flood of illegal migrants halted.
Homeland
Security Launches 'Climate Change Professionals Program' Amid Historic Illegal Border Crossings Surge. The
Department of Homeland Security has announced a "climate change professionals program" while the historic number of illegal
border crossings continues to increase. Officials expect illegal crossings at the southern border to hit 2 million in
2021 for the first time in history, but DHS officials announced a program to tackle the "growing focus on adapting to climate
change and resilience." "The Climate Change Professionals Program will be instrumental in helping the Department adapt
to our changing climate by providing hands-on experience and guidance to young professionals interested in climate adaptation
and resilience," said Secretary Mayorkas.
DHS
Cannot Account for 50K Migrants Released in 2021. Data released by the Department of Homeland Security show
more than 50,000 migrants released by the agency with instructions to report to ICE once at their desired U.S. location have
failed to do so. The Notice to Report (NTR) process was instituted to help the Border Patrol ease detention
facility overcrowding in 2021. The federal disclosure covers the period between March and August 2021. Of more
than 270,000 migrants released by DHS, roughly 104,000 were placed in the NTR system which trusts the migrant to voluntarily
report to ICE at their intended U.S. destination to begin the deportation process.
American
Taxpayers [were] Charged Millions to Provide Illegal Aliens with Free Lawyers. American taxpayers, often
unbeknownst to them, are being charged to the sum of millions to provide illegal aliens in various cities with free legal
representation, an investigation exclusively shared with Breitbart News reveals. The Immigration Reform Law Institute
(IRLI) reviewed expenditures for cities that have implemented a deportation defense program that provides illegal aliens and
foreign nationals with free legal representation to fight their deportations from the United States.
The Editor says...
Obviously, it isn't "free legal representation" if somebody is paying for it.
We haven't LOST control, we have FORFEITED control. Former
Border Commissioner: 'We Have Lost Control of the Southwest Border'. The southwest border during President Joe
Biden's first year in office reached historic levels of illegal crossings, pulling agents off the front line and leaving
large swaths of the border unpatrolled. Drugs, especially fentanyl, flowed in, and overdose deaths are at an all-time
high. "What we're experiencing now on the southwest border is a complete, utter catastrophe," Mark Morgan, former
acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which oversees Border Patrol, told The Epoch Times on Jan. 7.
"We have lost control of the southwest border." During the 2021 calendar year, Border Patrol agents apprehended close
to 2 million illegal immigrants from 150 different countries along the southwest border — more than double 2019,
the last pre-pandemic year, according to CBP data. Last year, Border Patrol agents detected, but didn't catch, an
additional 600,000 illegal border crossers, known as "gotaways," Morgan said.
Biden
Frees Record Number of Illegal Aliens into U.S. via 'Catch and Release'. President Joe Biden has released a
record number of border crossers and illegal aliens into the United States interior via a little-known federal program used
as part of a larger "Catch and Release" policy. As of late December 2021, Biden has placed about 150,755 border
crossers into the government's Alternatives to Detention (ATD) program, wherein border crossers are apprehended and quickly
released into the U.S. interior with minimal tracking. In some circumstances, ATD simply places ankle monitors on
border crossers before releasing them into the U.S. interior. Border crossers often tear the ankle monitors off.
In other circumstances, ATD asks border crossers to report to the government via telephone or be monitored by a smartphone application.
Biden
Withholds Annual Report on Deportations. The Biden administration has yet to release a report that details the
number of illegal immigrants removed from the United States in 2021, keeping the public in the dark about its handling of the
immigration crisis. Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not release its annual report in 2021, a departure from
standard agency practice since at least 2011. In each of the last nine years, ICE released the report in the final weeks of
the calendar year, most recently on Dec. 23, 2020 during the Trump administration. It is unclear whether ICE has
completed the report, which provides a lengthy summary of the agency's enforcement and removal operations, as well as
immigration-related security threats. A spokeswoman for the immigration agency told the Washington Free Beacon a
release date for the report has not been determined.
New
DHS data reveals the border is no longer a Mexican problem. The old model of illegal immigration along the
southern border was shattered in 2021, according to data released by the Department of Homeland Security this week that shows
the demographics of the typical border jumper have been completely rewritten. Mexicans, who for decades represented the
overwhelming number of illegal immigrants, dropped to 28% of the flow, their lowest share "in recorded history," according to
Customs and Border Protection. Meanwhile, the number of women and girls jumping the border soared to nearly 400,000,
more than doubling the average in recent years. The figures were released in a belated fiscal 2021 data dump from
Customs and Border Protection, which included a warning that the shifting demographics are making jobs more challenging for
immigration agents.
Flights
carrying illegal immigrants [are] now landing in Pennsylvania: reports. Pennsylvania has become the latest location
where flights filled with illegal immigrants are being flown under the cover of darkness, according to reports. At
least five flights carrying the illegal immigrants landed at airports in Scranton and Allentown late last month from Texas,
local outlet WFMZ reported. Former GOP Congressman Lou Barletta, who is running for Pennsylvania governor, claimed the
flights were sent at night by the Biden administration.
Biden's
First Year: Illegal Immigration to U.S. Outpaces Populations of Major American Cities. President Joe
Biden's first year in office has resulted in record illegal immigration to the United States and defiance to constructing new
border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. By the end of the month, analysts project that nearly two million illegal
aliens will have attempted to cross the southern border since Biden took office — hundreds of thousands of which
have been released into the U.S. interior.
White
House asks Supreme Court to intervene in Remain in Mexico legal battle. The Biden border crisis is entirely
self-made. Joe Biden put a halt to the Trump administration's border security policies in the first days of his
administration. Those executive actions along with his campaign promises of blanket amnesty, no deportations, and
ending construction of the border wall all came together before he was even inaugurated to create the current humanitarian
and public health crisis on the southern border. Biden governs as a member of the open borders wing of the Democrat
Party. One of the first policies to be nixed by Biden was the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), commonly called the
Remain in Mexico policy. In January 2019 the Trump administration installed the Remain in Mexico policy in cooperation
with the Mexican government.
Federal
judge rules immigration law provision unconstitutional for 'disparate impact on Latinx persons'. Federal courts
are now wrestling with the underpinnings of an immigration law provision and whether or not it is racist. A federal
judge in Nevada ruled that Section 1326, a law making it a felony to reenter the United States after being deported, is
unconstitutional. The Department of Justice has appealed the case, now sending it to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals. Judge Miranda Du, an Obama appointee, issued the original order in August saying the law was passed with
racist antecedents and discriminatory intent against Latinos, violating the Equal Protection Clause.
The Editor says...
Hmmm. I wonder why nobody in the Congress noticed the law was unconstitutional while they were voting on it.
Liberal
Judge Rules Ousting Illegal Aliens Who Reenter the Country 'Racist' and 'Unconstitutional'. It may surprise you
to learn that the most common type of case federal prosecutors bring is not for drugs or fraud, as many think. As
reported by The Washington Times, that honor goes to cases against illegal aliens who try to reenter the country after having
been deported. And almost all those charged are Hispanic, of course. Now, according to The Times, federal courts
are facing the ridiculous question of whether the "imbalance" in deportations means U.S. immigration law is [...] racist.
Ridiculous? One court in Nevada has ruled it means exactly that. Judge Miranda Du, an Obama appointee [no kidding?], said
the section of immigration law that makes it a felony for an illegal alien previously ousted to sneak back into the country "has
racist antecedents dating to the 1920s." This is insane. Though the law has been updated since then, noted The Times,
Congress has never "confronted the racist, nativist roots" of the law, Du ruled. She said that fact — coupled with
the overwhelmingly Hispanic targets for prosecution — makes the law unconstitutional. This is beyond insane.
Senate
Republicans Move to Ban Federal Funds From States, Cities That Allow Illegal Aliens to Vote. Let's begin with a
basic premise that should be supported by every loyal citizen of every country on the planet: Non-citizens should not
be allowed to vote in elections. Period. That should not even be a question. Unless you're a Congressional
Democrat, that is. In that case, undocumented Democrats are your thing. As reported by John Solomon's Just the
News, the issue of "non-citizen" voting first came to a boil big-time at the end of the 2018 Georgia governor's race, when
Democrat Stacey Abrams suggested the "blue wave" of voters she hoped would put in her office included the "documented and
undocumented," the latter a ridiculous Democrat term for illegal aliens. Abrams denied she was referring to illegal
aliens. However, last time I checked my Democrat decoder ring, "undocumented" was code for "illegal." Meanwhile,
cities in at least three states have authorized illegal aliens to vote, while Georgia ponders a constitutional amendment to
ban it.
Report:
U.S. Govt Chartered Christmas 'Ghost Flights' to Carry Illegal Migrants into Pennsylvania. Chartered jets
carrying mostly minor-age, illegal immigrants into Scranton, Pennsylvania have attracted the attention of leading
conservative lawmakers in the state, The National Pulse can reveal. Congressman Dan Meuser as well as gubernatorial
candidate Lou Barletta have urged immigration authorities as well as Governor Tom Wolf to explain what one source told The
National Pulse were "ghost flights" into Scranton International Airport over the course of December. The term "ghost
flight" was used to describe the secretive nature of the flights, some of which arrived at night, without passenger manifests
being made available. Beginning on December 11th and set to conclude on December 30th, hundreds of what are believed
to be underage, illegal immigrants have been flown into the Pennsylvania by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Border
Patrol Agent: 'Utilize Your Second Amendment' for Safety. Thirteen-year Border Patrol Agent Roy Cantu warns
that Biden's border crisis could soon get worse and urges Americans to "utilize your Second Amendment" for safety. FOX
News reports that Cantu told the NRA that Biden's vaccine mandate for all federal employees means agents must either get
vaccinated or give up their jobs.
Analysis:
Biden on Pace to Bring 2M Illegal Aliens to U.S. by Year End. President Joe Biden is on pace to bring nearly
2,000,000 border crossers and illegal aliens to the United States-Mexico border in 2021, new analysis projects. The
analysis, from Princeton Policy Advisors President Steven Kopits, estimates that Biden will have enticed about 1.92 million
border crossers and illegal aliens to have made the often deadly journey to the southern border from January to December 2021.
As
Biden's Border Crisis Rages, Armed Texans Arrive to Round Up Illegal Aliens. A new Texas law is attracting
armed groups with body armor, long guns and high tech drones to the border. Some local officials are welcoming them,
according to The Wall Street Journal. The new law allows migrants to be arrested for trespassing. The armed
groups intend to find the illegals and deliver them to law enforcement officials for arrest.
This is not news. Everybody knows this already. Foreign-born
population soars to new record under Biden; highest rate of immigrants since 1910. The U.S. has had a massive
surge in immigration this year, with as many as 1.5 million newcomers and a record 46.2 million foreign-born people,
according to a report for the Center for Immigration Studies. After a deep trough last year, likely because of the
COVID-19 pandemic and the travel and migration restrictions imposed to control the spread, the flow of people rebounded
around the time President Biden was elected. In numbers never seen before, they are coming legally through airports and
land border crossings and illegally across the Rio Grande and remote regions of Arizona and California.
The madness
of King Brandon. The summer of 2021 brought hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants into this country via an
unenforced border that many described as "porous." Despite draconian COVID restrictions and required testing for many
Americans who live here, Biden turned a blind eye to health concerns and guarding our border. Instead, he allowed what
can only be described as a foreign invasion from virtually anyone, regardless of COVID or vaccination status, who wanted to
enter our country along our alleged southern border. The border wall that President Trump worked to build and fought
Congress to fund was disregarded by Biden, and ramshackle, filthy tent cities were set up inside our country by the hordes of
illegal migrant families who walked into our country to gain de facto citizenship, courtesy of the Biden administration.
For their trouble, illegal aliens were rewarded with free (American taxpayer-funded) health care, welfare, transportation,
career and education assistance, and even $1,400 stimulus checks.
Tucker
Carlson: Biden's southern border policy may be the most destructive thing any administration has done.
Jupiter is a pretty little town on the east coast of Florida — it's about 90 miles north of Miami. It's not
a huge place. It's a safe and orderly place. Tons of nice people live there. Not all of them, by the way,
are rich, which is unusual for a coastal town. It's a normal place. In other words, it's the country you
remember. You wouldn't mind living there, for sure. But over the weekend, Jupiter, Florida, looked less like the
America of 1980 and more like the America that Joe Biden is busy creating right now, which is to say chaotic, crazy,
out-of-control. Families sitting on the beach in Jupiter this Sunday watch slack-jawed as a boat carrying dozens of
unemployed, illegal immigrant Haitians suddenly pulled up onshore. The people inside the boat hopped out, ran through
the waves, and scattered. Not what you expect on a Sunday on the beach, but not everybody in Jupiter was surprised to
see this happen. Another boat full of Haitians had landed there just that summer, so it's becoming a regular occurrence
in Jupiter, Florida.
Border
arrests up in November as Biden releases more illegal immigrants into US. President Joe Biden's Department of
Homeland Security has reduced the number of migrant families detained for illegally crossing the southern border to zero,
according to a report this week. But this milestone wasn't reached by ending the surge of illegal immigrants crossing
the southern border. Quite the opposite. The number of illegal immigrants who were arrested crossing the border
rose in November to 173,600. That is up 5% from the 164,000 arrested in October, and it is more than double the 72,000 caught
last November. The only way that Biden was able to reduce the number of illegal immigrant families detained at the border
was to release them into the United States. Many of these migrants will try to win asylum status from immigration judges,
but almost none of them will succeed since they are economic migrants and don't qualify for asylum.
United
Nations Grantee Uses U.S. Tax Dollars To Fund Illegal Immigration. During a recent trip to a Reynosa, Mexico
migrant camp, I took photos of a United Nations-supported International Organization for Migration (IOM) operation to hand
out cash debit cards to intending and repeat border crossers. One of two workers at a plastic folding table inside the
Reynosa camp, which was filled to capacity with at least 1,200 mostly U.S.-expelled Central Americans, said they were
distributing the cards for IOM to help migrants waiting until they cross the Rio Grande at greater leisure to claim asylum,
for which most will be declared ineligible years later. Many parents, for instance, got about $400 every 15 days, I was
told, or $800 a month if they were still there to collect it, although the support level varied.
Joe
Biden [is] Flying Illegal Aliens, Deported by Trump, Back to U.S.. President Joe Biden's administration is flying
illegal aliens, previously deported by former President Donald Trump's administration, back to the United States. This
week, National Public Radio (NPR) reported that two previously deported illegal aliens, Claudio Rojas of Argentina and Jean
Montrevil of Haiti, have since been brought back to the U.S. after they claimed that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) agency retaliated against them for their open borders advocacy. Before his 2019 deportation, Rojas had lived as
an illegal alien for 19 years while Montrevil was deported in 2018 following more than a decade in the U.S. Attorneys
for the illegal aliens are now demanding that both be given amnesty as reparations for being deported from the U.S. by the
Trump administration.
DHS
eases screening for some refugees to save time. Homeland Security has ditched an interview requirement for
spouses and children of refugees who want to come to the U.S. as a package deal, saying it was taking too long to complete
the cases without much benefit from the extra work. The move is the latest deletion of a Trump-era security
policy. The Biden team said requiring interviews was "inconsistent" with President Biden's executive orders calling for
a more inclusive immigration system. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the government's legal immigration
agency, said it can still do interviews on a case-by-case basis, but only when "there is a need to do so."
The
5th Circuit Delivers a Shockingly Ruthless Rebuke of Joe Biden's Lawlessness. Upon taking office, Joe Biden
pulled out his pen and phone and nixed the measure that had stemmed the tide of unqualified asylum applicants and trafficking
of children. Soon after, with the Obama-era policy of releasing illegal immigrants into the interior with a court date
back in place, the current surge at the border began. That surge has continued, reaching record levels over 2021.
Eventually, the courts got involved after several states sued, leading to an order to reinstate the "Remain in Mexico"
policy. Last month, the Biden administration made the move to follow that order, including securing a deal with Mexico,
whose president had opposed ending the program in the first place. Of course, that move wasn't willingly, as the
government sought to appeal the decision. Now, the 5th Circuit has slapped down that attempt at an appeal, and the
decision is absolutely savage.
DeSantis:
Biden effectively running 'human smuggling operation' with secret flights into Florida. ["]The border is
obviously a disaster and some people say, 'Well, that's a problem for Texas or Arizona.' Well, actually, the Biden
administration puts people on planes and flies them into Florida in the wee hours of the morning. They've done over 70
flights in the last six months, dump people here. And we had — a few weeks ago — one of those
people that Biden dumped, ended up committing a murder in northeast Florida. So, these are crimes that would not have
happened but for Biden's recklessness.["]
Good
News! Illegal Migrants Are Allowed to Fly Without ID. Good news: the Biden administration has once again
proven that it is not "racist" by allowing illegal migrants to board commercial flights around the country even though they
don't have identification. And really, what could possibly go wrong? This disturbing revelation comes from
Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas), who has been investigating the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) as part of a
larger investigation into what the Daily Caller described as "whistleblower documents alleging an operation to move migrants
across the country without standard documentation." [...] Said Gooden: "When I asked a border patrol officer about TSA
allowing migrants to fly with no identification, they told me a Notice to Appear is not sufficient identification and they
often have to take migrants at their word that they are who they say they are. TSA and non-profit groups are putting
millions of Americans travelling for Christmas at risk by allowing these unknown and unvetted migrants to board planes and
fly across the country."
Mayor
Declares Emergency in Arizona City Rocked by Illegal Immigration. The mayor of an Arizona border city that has
nearly 100,000 residents declared a state of emergency on Dec. 9 due to the soaring numbers of illegal immigrants flooding in
from Mexico. Yuma Mayor Douglas Nicholls said he issued the declaration "due to the unprecedented numbers of migrants
entering the city prior to being processed and released by Border Patrol." The action enables the city to receive state
and federal funding to try to combat the crisis. Apprehensions of illegal immigrants in Border Patrol's Yuma Sector
have shot up since President Joe Biden took office in January.
Biden's
dangerous deportation drop. Unless something drastically changes over the next two months, more than 2 million
migrants will have been arrested while illegally attempting to cross the southern border during President Joe Biden's first
year in office. Under Biden's open-borders policies, hundreds of thousands of these migrants were then released into
the United States, often flown at taxpayer expense, to their final destination. There, they will apply for asylum, a
process that will take years, and the vast majority of them (more than 85%) will lose their asylum claims. But that
doesn't mean they will be deported. Even before Biden became president, only a tiny percentage of the over 10 million
illegal immigrants in the U.S. were being deported each year. And now, under Biden, that number has dropped to almost zero.
DeSantis:
'We Can't Just Have People Who Are from Foreign Countries Displacing the Needs of Our Own People'. Friday
[12/10/2021] on FNC's "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) explained his state's new policy aimed at
preventing the Biden administration from surreptitiously placing illegal immigrants in Florida. The Sunshine State
governor said such measures were justified because they prioritize his own citizens over those here illegally. "For
one, any of these contractors that are facilitating Biden's illegal policies by bringing people into Florida, oftentimes
flying in at two o'clock in the morning with no notice to the State, anyone who is doing that forfeits the ability to have
contracts with State and local government in the State of Florida, and they are going to be responsible for providing
restitution to the State of Florida for every single person that they bring because when they dump somebody, a lot of costs
end up being borne by the State in the future, whether that's education, healthcare, whether that's the criminal justice
system," DeSantis said.
Ron
DeSantis fights back against Biden illegal immigrant flights. Now that the City Council has generously granted
noncitizens the vote, it should be obvious why President Biden has laid out the welcome mat to migrants at the southern
border. Today's illegal migrant is tomorrow's Democratic voter, goes the calculus, and pesky formalities like
citizenship just delay the glorious process. Fittingly, one of Mayor Bill de Blasio's last acts of vandalism against
the city will be to sign this abomination into law. Cue Gov. Ron DeSantis, who plans to deport illegal migrants
flown secretly into Florida from the southern border by the Biden administration. Destination: Delaware, the
president's home state, or Martha's Vineyard, Barack Obama's holiday paradise. "If you sent [them] to Delaware or
Martha's Vineyard, that border would be secure the next day," DeSantis said Friday.
DeSantis
Proposes $8 Million in Budget to Relocate Illegal Immigrants to Delaware, Martha's Vineyard. Florida
Gov. Ron DeSantis set $8 million in his 2022-23 budget to transport illegal immigrants out of The Sunshine State.
He proposed the spending in the Freedom First Budget to protect against harms resulting from illegal immigration.
The spending may include the transportation of unauthorized aliens located within Florida to other states or the District of
Columbia. "In yesterday's budget, I put in $8 million for us to be able to transport people illegally [in the United
States] out of the state of Florida," he said during a press conference on Friday. The Republican governor listed
Delaware, President Joe Biden's hometown state, and Martha's Vineyard, where former President Barack Obama owns a mansion, as
potential destinations to relocate the illegal immigrants.
Ron
DeSantis comes out with a five-point workable plan to get around Biden on illegal immigation. The more you look
at Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis, the more you like him. Here's his new plan on how to deal with Joe Biden's open
borders policies that have brought the surge of illegal aliens into the country, in a neatly presented, effectively
communicated Twitter summary: [Tweet] It's impressive, frankly for multiple reasons. First, as noted above, it's
effective Twitter communication, fearlessly getting the word out and summing up the precise details for all to read quickly.
Second, it's well in tune with what Americans are most thinking about in these days of Joe Biden's failed presidency.
Yuma
Border Sector Shows 2600 Percent Increase in Migrants in October. The Border Patrol in Yuma saw roughly 1,000
migrants cross into the United States daily between Friday and Monday, according to the agency. Many believe the surge
is related to a pending restart of the Trump era "Remain in Mexico" program. The pace of illegal crossings add to
already record-breaking arrest numbers from the once quiet sector. Federal statistics show Yuma's apprehension increase
in October 2021 is 2,647 percent over October 2020. According to CBP, out of the nine southwest Border Patrol Sectors,
Yuma is trailing only the Rio Grande Valley and the Del Rio Sectors in apprehensions.
Governor
Ron DeSantis Outlines Legislation Targeting Private Sector Contractors Who Facilitate Unlawful Immigration.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is proposing an interesting legislative approach to curb the White House illegal immigration
process. In essence, what the Florida legislature will be enacting are laws that restrict any private company from
doing business in Florida if they are participating in the federal programs to distribute illegal aliens. If a federal
contractor facilitates the transport, housing or subsidy of an illegal alien into Florida the state will block that
contractor from any state level business relationship.
Fort
Bragg soldier to be deported after faking marriage to get green card. A Fort Bragg soldier will be deported
after she pleaded guilty to one count of visa fraud for faking her marriage to a United States citizen in order to get a
green card, federal officials announced. Maryam Movsum Hasanova, 35, originally from Azerbaijan, entered the US as an
exchange visitor, however that status expired in March 2014, federal prosecutors said. In early 2015, she met a US
citizen, identified only as S.V.M. in court documents, who agreed to the sham marriage to Hasanova in exchange for $15,000.
The two were married in New York in October 2015. Hasanova and her new fake hubby submitted paperwork to the United
States Citizenship and Immigration Services asking that her status be changed to a lawful, permanent resident of the US.
The two were interviewed at the USCIS office in New York City, where they "attested under oath they were married in good faith,"
prosecutors said.
Yuma
Shows What Happens When Border Patrol Is Unable to Patrol the Border. The illegal immigrants had been waiting
by the gap in the border wall by Morelos Dam all day on Wednesday. No Border Patrol transportation, or even an agent in
a pickup truck, had come by to take them away, so they decided to walk to the Border Patrol station about 9 miles into
town. The group of around 100 walked into Yuma's city limits, passing by neighborhoods, with some making a quick pit
stop at a local McDonald's. Frank, a local contractor, pulled over on his way to dinner to talk with me in
astonishment, saying he had never seen something like this in Yuma before. [...] Some of the illegal immigrants were given
rides by local residents or taxis and dropped off at Border Patrol's Yuma Sector Headquarters. Others completed their
journey by walking the whole way. Once at the station, they walked up to a gate and banged on it to let the agents know
they were outside. Agents would come out and let them in to be processed.
Arizona
to deploy National Guard after hundreds of migrants rush border at Yuma, surrender to Border Patrol. Several
hundred migrants have entered the U.S. illegally in the past day in Yuma, Ariz., overwhelming law enforcement capacity in the
region, local news reports say. More than 1,500 migrants came across from Sonora, Mexico, on Monday and other groups
were spotted near Morelos Dam across the border, the Yuma Sun reported. The Yuma County Sheriff's office has been
fielding 911 calls since Sunday from migrants requesting water and to be picked up; one Border Patrol official told the
newspaper the agency is trying to pick up every migrant but "there just aren't enough agents."
Democrats
don't care about inflation, the poor, the middle class, women, or science. They care about raw power. As
their poll numbers drop and inflation becomes more of an issue, Democrats are pretending they care and suddenly have a
solution. They want more immigrants to fill jobs at lower wages in the "informal economy." Of course, Democrats
have always wanted more immigrants, whatever the inflation rate is, so this is just a new, worthless talking point. If
more immigrants solved the inflation problem, wouldn't Biden's open borders and the sanctuary cities and states not enforcing
the laws have solved the problem?
Republican
senators introduce bill to block settlement payments to separated illegal immigrants. Sens. Thom Tillis,
R-N.C., Tom Cotton, R-Ark., John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell will introduce the Protect American
Taxpayer Dollars from Illegal Immigration Act. The legislation would bar the use of federal funds, including the
Judgment Fund, which pays for court judgments and lawsuit settlements against the federal government, for illegal immigrants
if the settlements are related to their detention at the border after Jan. 20, 2017. The bill is in response to
reported plans by the administration to settle with illegal immigrants who were separated from family members during the
Trump administration and are suing the government as a result.
Death by Politics.
President Joe Biden has purposely left our southern border defenseless. By design or chance, he has partnered with the
drug cartels. Fentanyl is flooding into our country. This drug, 80 to 100 times more potent than morphine, is
killing thousands of our people, yet this leader allows such to continue day after day. How much money is kicked upward
to Democratic politicians by the cartels and gangs that now operate in the USA? Another number that eludes us is the number
of women and children dying in the attempt to reach the U.S. We will probably never know.
Texas
Law Enforcement Reports Reveal Scope of the Border Crisis. In one week, 22,651 illegal aliens from 40 countries
were apprehended in Texas near the U.S.‑Mexico border, according to a Nov. 2 law enforcement report issued by the Texas
Department of Public Safety and obtained by The Epoch Times. The reporting week encompassed the seven days from Oct. 27
through Nov. 2, and according to the previous week's numbers and a report from May, the numbers have been this high for
months. Law enforcement arrested 48 fugitives and 13 gang members. In addition, more than 4,000 pounds of
marijuana, 669 pounds of methamphetamine, and 87 pounds of cocaine were seized. Also confiscated were 27 handguns,
three long guns, and more than $188,000 in cash. In the past six months, three separate currency seizures each exceeded
$1.5 million.
In
one week, 22,651 Illegal Aliens from 40 countries [were] Caught in Texas. The Border Operations Sector
Assessment reports are issued weekly to law enforcement but the public is not given the information. The Border
Operations Sector Assessment (BOSA) is a report of criminal activity, trends, and statistics from the six JOIC regions in
TEXAS and Mexico that is disseminated to a wide audience of federal, state, and local law enforcement. It's kept
classified. The Epoch Times secured a one-week report through FOIA but they won't release past reports. Reports
detail drug seizures, gang activity, and illegal crossings — including the capture of individuals from
terror-prone countries in Texas alone.
Caravan
with 2,000 Central American and Caribbean migrants bound for the United States sets off from southern Mexico. A
group of 2,000 migrants and asylum seekers marched off from the southern Mexico municipality of Tapachula across from the
Guatemalan border overnight Sunday in the latest in a series of caravans setting out for the United States. The caravan
is the fourth to form in the state of Chiapas since Friday and had advanced approximately 15 miles, reaching the town of
Huehuetán, a witness told Reuters. The group is mostly made up of families from Central America and the
Caribbean who are escaping from violence, poverty and hunger criss in their home countries.
Maryland
seafood company owner gets probation after hiring illegal immigrants. The owner of a Maryland seafood and ice
processing company that employed at least 89 illegal immigrants was sentenced last week to a year of probation and a $15,000
fine, and had to promise to use E-Verify to screen new hires in the future. Philip J. "Jamie" Harrington III
worked out the deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to a single charge of unlawful employment of illegal
immigrants. His company, Captain Phip's Seafood, was sentenced to three years of probation and a fine of $240,000 for
felony visa fraud. Harrington also asked that his probation officer allow him to make his usual trips this year to
Florida and the Bahamas for Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year's holidays.
Biden
bill would give amnesty to 6.5 million illegal immigrants, CBO says. More than 6 million illegal immigrants in
the United States would be granted amnesty and allowed to obtain government benefits by House Democrats' Build Back Better
Act, according to a review by the Congressional Budget Office. The CBO concluded in November that approximately
6.5 million noncitizens who live in the U.S. largely as a result of illegally crossing the southern border before
January 2011 would be granted parole and immediately go from being unlawfully present to lawfully present. The proposal
would be the largest-ever amnesty, double the size of the one that went through during the Reagan administration in
1986. The term amnesty refers to being pardoned, in this case for the federal offense of illegally entering the country
between ports of entry and residing in the U.S. without permission.
Biden
Hasn't Released Report To American Public On How Many Illegal Aliens Are In U.S.: Report. Democrat President
Joe Biden's administration has reportedly failed to disclose information to the American people related to the number of
illegal aliens in the United States. The Department of Homeland of Security (DHS) has given Congress the report on the
number of illegal aliens that are in the U.S. on expired visas but has not disclosed the information to the American public.
Biden
Admin Withholds Report on Illegal Immigrant Population. The Biden administration has yet to publicly disclose
critical information on the number of illegal immigrants in the United States, a violation of congressional guidance and a
departure from federal transparency standards. The Department of Homeland Security has given Congress its report on the
number of foreign nationals who remain in the United States on expired visas, but the information has not been subsequently
released to the public, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. Stretching back to at least the Obama administration,
DHS has made the annual report on suspected visa overstays available to the public shortly after giving it to Congress.
United
Nations is Handing Out $800 Debit Cards to Illegal Migrant Families in Mexico Heading to US. Todd Bensman, a Fellow
at the Center for Immigration Studies recently traveled to Mexico where he is reporting on the tens of thousands of illegal
aliens heading to the open US Southern Border. In Reynosa, Mexico, at a migrant camp, Bensman witnessed the United
Nations IOM handing out free debit cards to aspiring US border crossers. The IOM workers with the United Nations said a
migrant family of four gets about $800 a month. Todd said he watched long lines of migrants get their UN debit
cards — paid for by US taxpayers.
Large
Migrant Group Rushes [the] Border in West Texas. Border Patrol agents in Del Rio apprehended more than 250
migrants crossing the Rio Grande in a single group. The group, according to a source within Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) crossed the river into the United States on Sunday near the Del Rio International Bridge where more than
15,000 mostly Haitian migrants were held in a makeshift detention camp in September. The source says the nationalities
of the migrants were a mix of mostly Venezuelan and Cuban migrants. The source, speaking on the condition of anonymity,
says the nearly 300 migrants are being held under the port of entry while they await transportation to nearby Border Patrol
stations in the region.
ICE
arrests plummeted under Biden guidance; officers averaged an arrest every two months. ICE authorized just
20,858 arrests in the six months after the Biden administration announced new rules restricting which illegal immigrants
could be targeted — or an average of just one arrest every two months for each deportation officer. That's
down exponentially from the Trump years, when the rate averaged two arrests each month, and it's even worse compared to the
peak Obama years, when the ratio was about four arrests each month. But even though U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement says it's catching fewer people overall, it's arresting more aggravated felons, which ICE says is proof the new
rules are working to allow officers to focus on the most valuable targets.
Border
Crossings Are at an All-Time High. The Homeland Security Department Is Prioritizing 'Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion.'. As patrol agents are overwhelmed with an all-time high number of crossings at the southern border,
the Department of Homeland Security is prioritizing "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI) in the 2022 fiscal year,
according to documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. In a November report that outlined initiatives
for agencies such as Customs and Border Protection, DHS listed compliance with federal regulations as first among six
"priorities." The second was "diversity, equity, and inclusion" — above "customer experience" and
"cybersecurity." The department sent the report to staff members following a town hall-like meeting, during which
agency heads emphasized to staff the importance of DEI efforts.
State
troopers overwhelmed with rising illegal migration in West Texas. Texas state troopers deployed to the border
in remote West Texas to serve as backup to the overstretched Border Patrol are overwhelmed responding to the increasing
number of illegal migrants who try to outrun them. The Texas Department of Public Safety has rerouted more than 1,000
officers from their normal duties to the border since March, when the number of people illegally crossing from Mexico into
the United States began to spike across the state. West Texas, normally the quietest place along the state's 1,250-mile
shared border with Mexico, is being inundated with groups of people crossing, all of whom are trying to evade capture, law
enforcement told the Washington Examiner.
A Border
Sheriff's Reality. Border sheriffs in Arizona have long reckoned with illegal immigration, trodden for decades
over the same sagebrush routes now used by the Sinaloa Cartel to ensure its majority share of the American drug trade.
Unlawful waves of migration have waxed and waned over the years, contingent upon the party in power. Bush 43 wrestled
with it, leaving it to flourish under Obama. Trump brought it to an all-time low behind hundreds of miles of new and
replacement wall fortified by Title 42 and Migrant Protection Protocols that kept the phalanxes of border crashers inside
Mexico. The Biden doctrine on unlawful migration has been to put a match to all things Trump while continuing to chip
away at any regulatory headwinds that might slow the invasion.
People
should be angry about Joe Biden's Rittenhouse verdict twaddle. So Joe Biden is "angry and concerned" that a
17-year-old who defended himself against armed adult criminals got acquitted by a Kenosha jury in a trial. [Biden quote
omitted for brevity.] Biden says he's angry and concerned over Rittenhouse acquittal for Kenosha killings, but 'we
have to abide by it.' Prior to that, he tried to smear Rittenhouse as a white supremacist. [...] I've never heard Biden that
he is "angry and concerned" about the following: All the violent rioters and protesters in cities who killed and injured
cops and others and committed arson and looted and never got charged. All the career criminals who are let out of jail
repeatedly, by lenient judges and politicians, and who go on to commit other violent crimes. The cartels at the border
who run drugs, humans and guns across his open border and are now getting very rich indeed from human-smuggling fees.
Nonprofits
showing illegals how to get around US, get free hotel stays: pol says. A Republican congressman from Texas says
nonprofits are creating a national security threat involving illegal immigrants — handing out information packets
to migrants that show how to move around the country without identification and get put up in hotels for free.
Rep. Lance Gooden told "Fox & Friends" that he was tipped off about the secretive operation by a whistleblower from San
Diego who handed over the kinds of information the groups are giving migrants. Working on the tip, Gooden traveled to
California where he found migrants were being housed hotels in the city, including The Four Points by Sheraton where rates
start at $159 a night. "I managed to get in the gates, I demanded entry once and was refused. I talked a guard
into letting me in on another occasion and when I was in there I saw busses pulling up, probably about 100 migrants over an
hour got off of these busses," Gooden told Fox News on Monday [11/15/2021].
Kamala Harris
Meets With Mexican President To Talk About Everything But The Border. Vice President Kamala Harris met with
Mexican President Andres Manuel López Obrador to discuss everything but the border, according to a Thursday press
release. Harris and Obrador didn't appear to discuss the Biden administration's pending implementation of former
President Donald Trump's Remain in Mexico program or other issues overwhelming U.S. border officials, such as increased
migration to the country, according to the statement. "Vice President Harris and President López Obrador agreed to
continue working together to address the root causes of migration from Central America and the need for a regional approach
to migration in the Western Hemisphere," according to the press release.
Hey,
RINOs! How's all this working for you? President Trump issued an executive order banning federal funds
from contractors who conduct Critical Race Theory (CRT) training. He saw this theory for what it is: a race-based
"pre-trial guilty verdict" of racism, which is itself, by definition, racism. Boom, by a stroke of the pen, he declared
it un-American and gone! Biden? In a 180-degree turn, he reinstituted CRT and has promoted the metastasis of this
divisive Marxist ideology all across the nation, angering millions of people, especially parents who do not want this racist
nonsense taught to their children in K-12 education.
Illegal
Immigrants would Get $10.5 Billion from Reconciliation Bill. Based on the reconciliation bill, a $1.9 trillion
monstrosity, one would be forgiven for thinking that Democrats don't want to stop with subsidizing non-working Americans, but
want to go ahead and subsidize illegal immigrants too! The bill, which Team Biden is pressing Congress to pass,
includes a provision that would expand the child tax credit to pay for the children of illegal immigrants. According to
a RealClearPolitics report, the expanded tax credit would be available to every illegal immigrant child and would cost
American taxpayers $10.5 billion. Here's what RCP reported about the ridiculous provision: ["]This
includes the roughly 600,000 unaccompanied minors and persons in family units stopped at the border in FY2021 and released
into the country pending a hearing. Cash welfare to illegal immigrants is not just costly; it also encourages more
illegal immigration.["]
Federally
Funded Non-Profits Are Running Illegal Immigrant Processing Centers in Nice Hotels, Helping Migrants Avoid
Arrest. The Biden administration has deputized non-profit groups to move illegal migrants across the nation,
allowing the charities to put them up in nice hotels and give them instructions on how to avoid capture.
Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas) said Monday that a whistleblower told him about an ongoing operation in San Diego, and
decided to go there to see for himself what is going on. "What I found were nonprofits that were running secretive
closed-down hotels, the four point Sheraton Sea World, a Wyndham, a Ramada Inn," he revealed on Fox and Friends. Gooden
said that he witnessed buses unloading about 100 illegal immigrants in about an hour at one hotel, and they were welcomed by
the charity "with open arms." Once the migrants are processed, and tested for COVID, Gooden said they are each given a
packet, which detail how they can get past the TSA at the airport without any identification, as well as how to enroll their
children in American schools. "It's encouraging illegal immigration!" Gooden declared.
Lee
Presses Mayorkas: What's Going to Happen to Border When Agents Get Fired Over the Vaccine Mandate?
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) pressed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday over the impact of
President Biden's vaccine mandate on federal employees. What will happen if thousands of the 16,000-17,000 Border
Patrol agents at the southern border are sidelined over their vaccination status, he wondered. "This ties back to your
desire to give yourself an A for effort on dealing with workforce issues," Lee said. "But what happens when you've got
potentially thousands of those, a pretty large percentage, who might soon become ineligible to work based on their
vaccination status? Does that hurt or help the operational control of the border?" While touting the "tremendous
uptick" in the percentage of agents who are getting vaccinated, Mayorkas could only "hope that does not materialize."
Welcome
packet reveals concierge travel service for Biden illegals, courtesy of nonprofits. Like travel agents
preparing customers for a cruise, nonprofits working with the Biden administration have created detailed itineraries and
information packets to help illegal aliens travel to wherever they want to go in the U.S., according to documents obtained by
a Texas congressman. Often courtesy of American taxpayers struggling to pay their bills during surging inflation,
illegals are given free quality hotel rooms, plane tickets and transportation to the airport, travel maps, and instructions
to TSA to bypass photo ID requirements, according to the documents shared with Just the News. The prototype packet,
which was provided by a whistleblower to Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas), undermines Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas' claim that the southern border is closed. Instead, it highlights an extensive network of nonprofits,
corporations and family foundations working together to circumvent immigration laws passed by Congress.
Four
Highlights of Mayorkas' Senate Testimony on Border Crisis. [#4] Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., inquired
why the Biden administration had stopped constructing the border wall after the new president took office. "Can you
explain to me why a wall is effective and necessary at the White House and the Biden beach house, but not at the southern
border?" Mayorkas answered that a wall wouldn't work for the entire southern border. "There are thousands of miles
along the southern border," he said, then talked about the "diversity and the terrain" there. "Therefore, the key to
border security is fundamentally advanced technology," Mayorkas said. "That is the most effective means because we're
not going to construct a border wall on the ragged and jagged cliffs." The Trump administration's border security measures
also included investing in such technology to monitor border crossings and catch illegal immigrants.
Spain: Migration Crisis
Spirals Out of Control. Prosecutors in Spain have charged a dozen North African migrants with sedition for
illegally entering the country by forcing a commercial airliner to land on Spanish territory. The plot, months in the
making and unmatched in audacity, has demonstrated that commandeering airliners is a cheaper and safer way to reach Europe
than paying people-smugglers thousands of euros for perilous sea crossings. Spanish authorities, notorious for closing
a blind eye to illegal immigration from North Africa, fear that the plot has set a precedent that will be repeated, not only
in Spain but at other airports in Europe.
Hundreds
of Adult Illegals Caught Posing as 'Unaccompanied Minors'. More than 500 illegal aliens apprehended in one
border sector during Fiscal Year 2021 claimed they were children when they were actually adults, according to reports.
El Paso Sector Border Patrol agents encountered nearly 23,000 unaccompanied minors between October 1, 2020, and September 30,
2021. Additionally, they caught 559 adult aliens lying about their ages. In the past six weeks, at least 55 more
illegals have reportedly been busted falsely passing themselves off as underage, indicating FY 2022 could see even higher numbers
than the previous year in ElPaso sector. Border Patrol spokesman Carlos Rivera told Border Report seasoned agents are
usually able to detect fraudulent documents and identify fake 'kids' by analyzing behavior, physical characteristics, and
body language.
More
on how the public feels about those massive payments to illegal aliens. The other day, Ed Morrissey looked at a
recent Trafalgar poll sampling the nation's feelings about massive reparations payments for families who were separated at
the southern border. That would be the result of a pending lawsuit that the State Department is reportedly considering
a settlement on. It's a payment plan that Joe Biden initially called "garbage," before deciding that he was actually
perfectly fine with it after all. But were Trafalgar's numbers an outlier? After all, the national opposition to
the payments reflected in that poll was pretty much off the charts, showing nearly 67% disapproval, with well over half
"strongly" disapproving.
Biden's
spending bill drops key child tax credit requirement that could pay out billions to illegal immigrants.
President Biden's massive $1.75 trillion spending bill would drop a component of the child tax credit program that could lead
to billions in payouts to illegal immigrants. Tucked away on page 1,647 of the Build Back Better Act, the Democrats'
social spending package, is a provision that would repeal the Social Security number requirement to obtain child tax
credits. This change would expand child tax credits to parents of illegal immigrants who don't have Social Security
numbers. Steven Camarota, a Center for Immigration Studies researcher, estimated that eliminating the requirement could
result in up to $2.3 billion in additional child tax credit payouts to illegal immigrants.
Biden's
border crisis: Countries refuse to take migrants back. As if the backlog of processing illegal migrants
isn't jammed up enough due to the sheer number of them, the latest twist is that some countries refuse to take back their
citizens. The countries that the largest number of migrants are coming from are Venezuela and Nicaragua.
Venezuela is where the largest number of migrants comes from now, exceeding the number of Mexicans coming across the
border. Axios has a report that 800 Venezuelan migrants have crossed the border illegally every day for the last two
weeks. This squares with reports from last summer about the growing problem of Venezuelans fleeing that country due to
its complete collapse under the leadership of Nicolás Maduro. Last June those with the means to leave were already
coming "in droves". A record 13,400 crossed the border illegally in October.
Steel
company that smuggled illegal immigrant workers forfeits $6 million to feds. A steel manufacturing company has
been ordered to forfeit $6 million — a near-financial death sentence — after admitting it had run a
pipeline for "dozens" illegal immigrants from Mexico to come and work for it, undercutting competitors. All Steel
Carports Inc. told the court in a sentencing memo that owner Ignacio Chavez, who came to the U.S illegally himself before
winning legal residency in 2009, didn't consider hiring illegal immigrants to be a big deal. "In his culture laws are
there but few respect them," the company's lawyers wrote. The Biden administration cut him a break, dropping human
smuggling and money laundering charges the Trump administration had brought.
The Editor says...
In other words, the Trump administration enforced federal immigration laws, and the Biden administration has no respect for those laws.
Biden's
'Build Back Better Act' Gives $800M in Cash Payments to Illegal Aliens Released into U.S.. President Joe
Biden's "Build Back Better Act," a filibuster-proof $1.75 trillion budget reconciliation package, would give $800 million
worth of cash payments to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens who were recently released into the United States interior,
a new analysis states. As Breitbart News previously reported, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) analyzed the
cost to American taxpayers if Biden's expanded Child Tax Credit for illegal aliens was extended for at least another year as
part of the reconciliation package.
DHS
Refuses to Disclose Data on the Release of Illegal Immigrants. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is
refusing to provide information about the total number of illegal immigrants and border crossers that have entered the United
States since January when President Biden took office, according to Breitbart News. Though "limited data" was provided
by the DHS in October revealing that "the agency had released 'at least 500,000' border crossers and illegal aliens into the
U.S. interior since the beginning of the year," they would not respond to probing questions that would reveal details on "how
and where border crossers and illegal aliens are being released."
DeSantis
floats sending migrants to Delaware in response to Biden admin's migrant flights to Florida. Florida
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday floated sending migrants to President Biden's home state of Delaware, in response to the
dozens of migrant flights DeSantis says have landed in Florida at the behest of the Biden administration. "If they're
going to come here, we'll provide buses," DeSantis said of the migrants on the flights. "I will send them to Delaware
and do that." "If he's not going to support the border being secure, then he should be able to have everyone there," he
said. The Republican governor has been ramping up his battle with the administration over migrant flights into
Jacksonville. His office told The Washington Examiner that there have been more than 70 flights of migrants into
the Sunshine State since the summer.
The
collusive lawsuit between the ACLU and the Biden administration for immigration reparations is an illegal and unethical
sham. The ACLU sued the United States for money on behalf of illegal immigrants for being separated from their
children when they were caught and detained at the border. The Wall Street Journal reported a few weeks ago that the
Department of Justice was considering settling the case for about $450,000 per individual — a settlement amounting
to over a million dollars in the case of a family of three and over two million for a family of five. The basis for the
ACLU's lawsuit on behalf of the immigrants is not clear. Most legal experts agree that whatever the morality of putting
children into shelters, it is lawful. That's what happens when parents commit a crime and are incarcerated. The
lawsuit appears designed to establish new judge-made law to the effect that when the crime is illegal immigration, the
children must be incarcerated with the parents (who may or may not actually be their parents) in an adult prison. That
of course would be untenable. Which is why immigration activists are pushing it. Being a generous people,
Americans would not allow the incarceration of children in adult prisons, and so the effect would be to prevent the
incarceration of the parents too.
Leaked
document: Border Patrol may lose half of its agents over COVID vaccine mandate. The deadline for federal
employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 is November 22. Federal employees who are not vaccinated, or obtain an exemption,
by that date are subject to termination. It's hard to imagine a worse time to lose a substantial amount of border patrol agents
than during the Biden Border Crisis. Former chief operating officer of CBP from 2019 to 2021, Mark Morgan, obtained a document
from a source inside CBP. The leaked document shows nearly half of CBP agents have not registered their COVID vaccination status
and 10% of those who have registered have not received a shot. The federal mandate issued by Biden may result in the loss of
over half of border patrol agents.
Feds
ponder how much to pay illegal immigrants. Members of Congress who die in office customarily have a year's
salary, currently $174,000, as a payout to their survivors. Families of U.S. service members who die on active duty get
a $100,000 death gratuity. Japanese Americans, forced out of their homes and into internment camps for more than two
years during World War II, collected $20,000 payments four decades later. That's worth about $46,000 in today's
dollars. Lawmakers and legal experts are looking at those kinds of payments as the Biden administration considers
cutting $450,000 checks — nearly 10 times the inflation-adjusted rate paid to the internees — to
compensate illegal immigrants who say they suffered emotional trauma from family separations as a result of President Trump's
zero-tolerance border policy. One legal expert characterized $450,000 checks as "quite generous" compared with other
payouts that courts have authorized, but figuring out the proper comparison is fraught with complications.
Florida
Governor Ron DeSantis Discusses State Efforts To Block Biden's Distribution of Criminal Illegal Aliens into
Florida. During a speech in Jacksonville earlier today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis discussed some of the
potential state actions that can be taken to block the distribution of illegal aliens into the state. Joe Biden has
been sending covert flights of illegal alien border crossers into Florida in the late night hours. Governor DeSantis is
now looking at punitive damages, or state level punishment, against the private sector contractors who are facilitating the
transport. Additionally, DeSantis noted one potential solution would be for Florida state law enforcement to put the
illegal aliens onto chartered buses and sending them to Joe Biden's home state of Delaware.
Biden's America: Illegal
Aliens [are] Worth More than U.S. Soldiers. The Biden administration is considering payments of $450,000 to
illegal aliens — per person — for "immigrant families that were separated during the Trump
administration" after illegal entering into the United States. The payments would be part of a settlement of a lawsuit
brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of illegal alien families. The total settlement amount is
reported to be at least $1 billion of federal taxpayer funds. On November 4, 2021, President Joe Biden told reporters
that payments to families separated at the Mexico border are, "Not gonna' happen." When pressed further concerning the
likelihood such payments would actually encourage more migrants to try to cross into the United States, Biden said, "If you
guys keep sending that garbage out, yeah. But it's not true." Within 24 hours, the White House reversed itself
completely and claimed that Biden was "perfectly comfortable" making the settlement payments. This situation raises,
again, the question of whether Biden has any idea what administration officials around him are doing. It appears that
officials who actually run the government are making decisions and acting on major public policy issues without telling the president.
'Send
Them To Delaware': DeSantis Threatens Action Over Secret Migrant Flights. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is
threatening legal action after his administration claimed that the federal government sent 70 planes carrying young migrants
to Jacksonville from the US-Mexico border region under cover of darkness this summer. At a news conference Wednesday,
the Republican DeSantis said that his office is looking at all legal avenues of recourse after going public with their
allegation this weekend. "We're going to get together and figure out what we can do in the immediate term to protect
folks in Florida," DeSantis told reporters. The governor acknowledged his options are limited because the federal
government exercises control over airspace and immigration. But, he reasoned, "if they're not doing that, then clearly
the state should be able to come in and provide protections, and so that's what we're going to be looking to do."
DeSantis also suggested the state should buy bus tickets to send the migrants elsewhere.
The Editor says...
I presume that the state lacks the authority to deport illegal aliens, but the aliens would probably be happy to accept a bus ticket to
Maine or Oregon. Preferably a charter bus that won't stop until after it leaves Florida. And please don't stop the bus in
Texas or Oklahoma.
What
I Saw At Our Southern Border. Those in charge of our country are not interested in you or your
grievances. They're interested in one thing: fundamentally transforming this country and all but guaranteeing the
demise of western civilization. The shifting demographic of this nation will ensure that the United States of America
as we know it will disappear. Millions have invaded our country, possessing no allegiance to this nation or its history
and as people with little in common are forced to live together, not even speaking the same language, cultural clashes will
ensue. Our government has ceased to perform its most basic function and we have simply been too lazy to notice or even
care. The total stand down at our border is symbolic of what is happening in the rest of the country. The border,
our nation's debt, the fracturing of our culture, and the decline in living standards are all tied together. One trip to the
border and you understand that the defund the police movement is simply an extension of the policy implemented at our borders.
Biden
Administration Sends Notices to Appear to Tens of Thousands of Illegal Immigrants Inside US. President Joe
Biden's administration is sending notices to tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who were released into the U.S. interior
without being given a date to appear in court, the government confirmed to The Epoch Times. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) "is mailing charging documents to place noncitizens in removal proceedings who have been paroled or
released under prosecutorial discretion by Customs and Border Protection," an ICE spokesman told The Epoch Times in an
email. The illegal immigrants, numbering about 78,000, will receive packets of documents, including documents directing
them to report to the ICE office closest to where they're living, and that they will be processed for possible deportation.
The
Texas Attorney General Versus the Biden Administration. On August 7, 2021, I wrote about how states along our
southern border could thwart the Biden (*) administration's material support for the drug cartels and the crimes being
committed by invoking the RICO Statute. [...] Since August, I have spoken to several people with legal expertise, and each
said RICO would be the wrong approach because federal prosecutors would be needed, and that will not happen in Biden's
DOJ. There might be a ray of hope, however. [...] Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been relentlessly taking on every
manner of illegality by the Biden (*) administration and, as the headline teases, one of the two new lawsuits in the making
will take on an apparently clandestine effort to bring illegal immigrant families to the United States. AG Paxton is
quoted: "The Biden administration now is working on flying other family members, minors, up at taxpayer expense, flying
them to the United States to reunite with the rest of their family," he told the John Solomon Reports podcast. "One,
that's completely illegal. There's nothing that allows for that in the federal law. In effect, it's a complete
violation of law. [...]"
Must-see
Tucker Carlson video about the cause of America's woes. Biden is aware that he's failing, but rather than step
away from the White House, he meekly does whatever his handlers tell him to do. That's where security lies.
Unfortunately, his handlers are unchained ideologues. A good government tries to benefit its people and ensure the
greatest prosperity and happiness for the greatest number. A government filled with ideologues is so focused on its
utopian visions that it is willing to destroy the people to "save" them. That's why, for example, that despite polls
showing that over two thirds of Americans oppose reparations for illegal aliens, Biden's government is going forward with the
plan. For the ideologues, taking massive sums of money from struggling Americans to give to people who illegally
entered our country is a means to achieve permanent Democrat political power and all the wonders it will bring.
Congress
Can Prevent the Biden Administration from Paying Illegal Aliens with Taxpayer Funds. Amidst the security and
humanitarian crisis along the U.S. southern border, the Biden Administration is considering payments of $450,000 to illegal
aliens — per person — who were removed or detained during the 2018 zero tolerance policy for illegal
entry into the country. The payments of federal taxpayer funds would be part of a settlement of a lawsuit brought by
the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of illegal-alien families. The total settlement amount is reported to be
at least $1 billion. Congress can act immediately to prevent the disbursement of any taxpayer funds to illegal aliens
and remove the jurisdiction of federal courts to hear any such claims. Financial payments to illegal aliens would
obviously encourage even more illegal immigration and frivolous litigation.
Biden's Borderline Madness.
Joe Biden is calling "garbage" the Wall Street Journal report that his Justice Department wants to pay $450,000 to
every illegal "separated under the Trump administration." The real trash here is the notion that the separation policy
began with Trump. "Even if the immigration law is executed with perfection, there will be parents separated from their
children." That was Cecilia Muñoz, White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs, in an October 18, 2011
interview with Gretchen Gavett of PBS. The problem, according to Muñoz, was "a broken system of laws, and the answer
to that problem is reforming the law." In the meantime, "even broken laws have to be enforced." Therefore, parents
would be separated from their children, with substantial benefits for those housing the separated. Before her White
House gig, Cecilia Muñoz was vice president of the National Council of La Raza.
Biden
rages that illegal aliens 'deserve compensation'. Following a series of contradictory statements around
$450,000 taxpayer payoffs to illegals separated at the border, Joe Biden came out in a finger-pointing rage to let a reporter
know that these lawbreakers "deserve compensation." [Video clip] [Transcript] Which not only
contradicts his previous claim that $450,000 payouts to illegal aliens are "garbage" reports, it's also patent
nonsense. "The last administration" which Biden refers to, and it has a name, was following U.S. law as it's currently
written, not engaging in "outrageous behavior." Before the Trump administration halted the practice of separating adults
caught breaking into the country with children, the Trump administration had been following the law of the Flores
Settlement. That's the 1997 law which states that minors caught breaking into the U.S. can only be held for three days
in detention under ordinary circumstances, but lawbreaking adults can be held longer. That law necessitates breaking up
supposed family units given the prescribed detention periods, and it was hardly any invention of Trump's. It also was
done during the Obama administration, and likely others before it.
Joe
Biden is all-in for open borders. Until recently, there was still hope the Biden administration would reverse
course and bring law and order back to the southern border. Those hopes were annihilated on Oct. 29, when Homeland
Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas released a curt, four-page memo terminating, once again, Donald Trump's Migrant
Protection Protocols. Before the COVID pandemic, the program had successfully brought order to the southern border by
ending the release of illegal immigrants into the United States. Before its creation, illegal immigrants arrested for
illegally crossing the southern border would tell Customs and Border Protection agents that they feared returning to their
home countries. All of these migrants had been coached on what specifically to say by human traffickers and drug
cartels they paid to smuggle them to the border. These words triggered the need for a determination by an immigration
court judge as to whether the illegal immigrant in question actually deserved asylum. But since tens of thousands of
migrants are exploiting this loophole every month, the immigration court system doesn't have the capacity to hear their cases
in a timely manner.
Now
Biden defends migrant compensation payments he called 'garbage' three days ago. President Joe Biden furiously
defended a plan to send payments to families separated at the southern border Saturday, days after calling a report that the
payments were as much as $450,000 'garbage.' Biden was speaking at a press conference touting the passage of the $1.2 trillion
bipartisan infrastructure bill when he was asked about the payments. Fox News' David Spunt asked: 'You said last week,
that this report about migrant families at the border getting payments was garbage.'
Biden
sent 70 secret night flights of migrants from border to Florida. More than 70 flights transporting migrants
from the southern border to Jacksonville have landed in the dark of night in recent months as the Biden administration
struggles to empty overflowing border facilities, the office of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said. It is the first
time the state of Florida has disclosed the number of confirmed flights arriving in the state since the summer. The
governor's office has scrambled in recent weeks to uncover who is facilitating the mystery flights landing in northern
Florida daily, but the Biden administration has refused to disclose any information, one official said.
The Editor says...
I've seen one
report that indicates the immigrant distribution flights originate in Abilene, Texas, but I've seen no other reports that
mention the point of origin. The drive from Del Rio to Abilene is about 250 miles, and is quite scenic, if you like
being in the middle of nowhere. But apparently these journeys take place after dark, so there's really nothing to see,
even if the buses have windows.
Migrants
from Uzbekistan, Eritrea Appear at Texas Border. In separate events, local Border Patrol Agents and their
Brackettville-stationed colleagues apprehended migrants from two counties designated by the Department of Homeland Security
as "special interest." The arrests triggered immediate reporting to DHS headquarters. According to a source
within Customs and Border Protection, the incidents occurred on Monday [11/1/2021] and involved one group of 13 Eritreans and
a separate family of three from Uzbekistan. The source says the first arrests took place in Eagle Pass when agents
spotted 13 mostly male Eritrean nationals attempting to evade arrest. The Eritreans were in a residential neighborhood
several miles from the Rio Grande.
The Editor says...
The most obvious question at this point is, "Where did you get the money to travel 8,700 miles from Eritrea or
the 6,500 miles from Uzbekistan to Mexico? Whatever the motivation for such a move, it probably has more to do with
food stamps than with global warming, but guess which one will get the blame (or the credit)?
Biden
is either lying, was never told or forgot about $450K migrant payouts. President Joe Biden "may not have been
fully briefed about the actions of his very own Justice Department," the ACLU said, after Clueless Joe angrily called a
report that Justice would give $450,000-per-person payoffs to illegal immigrant families separated at the border "garbage."
And that's the Biden administration in a nutshell, isn't it? We've got: • A terrible policy.
• Biden not knowing what [...] is going on. • The president insulting the press,
in this case both the Wall Street Journal, which revealed the payoffs, and Fox News' Peter Doocy, who had the temerity to ask
about it. We have no doubt the Journal's reporting is correct. A shakedown by the ACLU and solving everything with a
big check is directly from the liberal playbook. And it will, as Doocy notes, encourage even more migrants to illegally
cross the border — something neither the ACLU nor the administration thinks is a bad thing.
Biden's
$450,000 'garbage'. For Joe Biden, reports of $450,000 payouts to illegal border crossers are
"garbage" — as is the suggestion that any such payouts would incentive more illegal border crossing. Biden's
[mendacious] response came as a result of a question from Fox News's Peter Doocy: [Tweet with video clip.] [...] Never
mind that the original report came not from some blog but from the Wall Street Journal. It's "garbage," Joe says.
Move along. Yet House Republicans are taking action to stop it. And the left-wing lawyers crafting these payouts
are protesting.
Democrats
block GOP attempt to derail Biden's $450,000 payments to illegal immigrants. Republicans moved this week to
block $450,000 payments to illegal immigrants who were part of family separations during the Trump administration, but they
saw their first attempt quashed by Senate Democrats. The payments are being pondered by President Biden's task force
assigned to help reunify and compensate families snared by the Trump zero-tolerance border policy, which led to thousands of
family separations. Some migrants would be in line to collect $450,000 in federal money, and the total bill could top
$1 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal, which first reported the negotiations.
White
House backtracks and admits Biden will pay separated migrants after he called $450K proposal 'garbage'
yesterday. White House principal deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Thursday that President Biden
is 'perfectly comfortable' with cash payouts to migrant families separated at the border, but insisted the settlements won't
be as high as $450,000. Fox News' Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre during the briefing what Biden meant when he called the
reports of payments 'garbage' after the ACLU claimed that he 'hadn't been briefed properly. Jean-Pierre, standing in
for Jen Psaki after her COVID diagnosis, responded by saying that settlements were happening, and he was responding to the
claim that they could be close to half-a-million dollars.
White
House: Actually, Joe Biden 'Perfectly Comfortable' with Payouts for Illegal Immigrants. The White House
on Thursday [11/4/2021] reversed a comment made by President Joe Biden that his administration would not issue payouts to
illegal immigrants suing the federal government. White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden was
actually "perfectly comfortable" with the idea, despite his comment Wednesday insisting it was "not going to happen." [...]
Biden previously called reports that the Department of Justice was considering payouts to individual illegal immigrants who
were separated during former President Donald Trump's "Zero Tolerance" immigration enforcement policy "garbage" and "not
true." But Jean-Pierre said Biden was specifically referring to the idea of the reported $450,000 price tag, not the
overall concept of a payout.
Biden's
Response to a Question About Giving $450,000 to Illegal Aliens in DOJ Settlement Case Should Alarm Everyone.
During a press conference this afternoon, to promote vaccines for children 5 to 11 years old, Fox News journalist Peter
Ducey [sic] asked Joe Biden about the DOJ settlement agreement with ACLU and immigration lawyers to pay illegal aliens $450,000 per
person as compensation for their pain and suffering. You need to watch Joe Biden's response carefully, because what he
said should alarm everyone. Within the response which includes "that's not going to happen", it is clear that Joe Biden
has absolutely NO IDEA what the journalist was talking about. From the position of Joe Biden, the Fox reporter was
speaking 'fake news'. [Video clip]
Biden
labels report government to pay separated immigrants $450,000 'garbage'. President Biden responded Wednesday to
a report that suggested his administration was mulling whether to make $450,000 payments to immigrants who were separated
from their families at the border under former President Trump's administration, calling the reporting "garbage" and saying
that it is "not gonna happen." Following remarks at the White House where he urged parents to get their children
vaccinated, Biden was asked by Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy about the Wall Street Journal's report and
whether he believes it "might incentivize" immigrants to attempt to enter America illegally. Biden responded, "If you
guys keep sending that garbage out, yeah, but it's not true."
Biden:
$450K to illegal immigrants? "Garbage report"! NYT, ACLU: *Ahem*. "Garbage" in, garbage out, I
suppose. Joe Biden thought he'd scored a point on Fox News by telling Peter Doocy, and ended up with looking clueless
about his own administration. Biden tried to blame Fox for incentivizing illegal immigration by filing a "garbage"
report that his administration would pay $450,000 per person in a settlement over separated families in the Trump
administration. There were only two problems with Biden's argument. First, it got reported by the Wall Street
Journal, not Fox. And second, [...]
Citizenship
path for illegal immigrants to cost taxpayers more than $500 billion. Offering a path to citizenship to illegal
immigrants and opening the doors to more legal immigrants will cost the federal government more than $500 billion over the
next few decades, the Congressional Budget Office said Wednesday [11/3/2021]. The costs would come chiefly to Social
Security, Medicare and other social safety net programs that the new, and newly legalized, immigrants would be able to
access, the budget analysts said. The nonpartisan budget agency analyzed House Democrats' plan to update the window of
eligibility for illegal immigrants to adjust their status to legal immigrants, and to expand availability of green cards, or
legal immigrant visas, to more foreign citizens.
Analysis:
Biden Proposal Could Turn Illegal Alien Families into Millionaires. A plan being circulated by President Joe
Biden's administration to provide border crossers, subjected to former President Trump's "Zero Tolerance" policy, with
$450,000 reparations-style payouts has the potential to turn illegal alien families into millionaires seemingly overnight, a
new analysis states. The Biden administration is weighing whether to provide border crossers — who were
subjected to the Zero Tolerance policy — with $450,000 each as part of a payout in lawsuits filed. The plan
could cost American taxpayers about $1 billion.
Report:
'At Least 160,000 Illegal Immigrants' Have Been Released Into U.S. Since March. Fox News Reporter Bill Melugin
out of Los Angeles has been covering the border crisis and tweeted bombshell documents from Border Patrol unearthing the

status, eligible for work permits). 94,570 released via NTR since 3/20."

Democrats Ask Federal Agencies to Investigate if Texas Migrant Arrests Violate [the US] Constitution.
Democratic members of Congress are asking the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. attorney general to
investigate whether arrests of migrants violate constitutional rights. Over two dozen Democratic members have joined
together to investigate "legal problems that have arisen out of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's border security initiative to
arrest and jail migrants on state criminal charges" reports Austin's local CBS station. Specifically, the 26 Democrats
sent a letter asking the federal bureaus to investigate Abbott's "catch and jail" immigration policy. The
representatives claim the policy violates the U.S. Constitution because of violations of state law and logistical problems
that have resulted from the thousands of arrests.
The
Investigation of Those "Horrible" Border Patrol Agents on Horses Has Vanished. Way back on Sept. 24, President
Joe Biden finally paid attention to the southern border when he displayed anger at hard-working U.S. Border Patrol agents,
vowing that they "will pay" — for something that did not occur. "It was horrible what — to see,
as you saw — to see people treated like they did: horses nearly running them over and people being strapped.
It's outrageous. I promise you, those people will pay," Biden hyperbolically rambled. "They will be —
an investigation is underway now, and there will be consequences. It's an embarrassment. But beyond an
embarrassment, it's dangerous; it's wrong. It sends the wrong message around the world. It's simply not who we
are." Three days prior, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told MSNBC, "We need this resolved
swiftly. I anticipate that the results of the investigation will be available by the end of next week and I've
committed to making the results public."
Report:
Joe Biden Releases More than Half a Million Border Crossers into U.S.. More than half a million border crossers
and illegal aliens have been released into the United States interior since January, predominately by President Joe Biden's
administration, newly released data reveals. In a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) revealed the extent to which the Biden administration is operating likely the most
expansive Catch and Release process for border crossers and illegal aliens.
This Can't Be
True. This administration is doing real harm to a frighteningly wide swath of people every day, with every new
policy and proclamation. Now there's a new one that could be the most unbelievable thing ever: Progressives want
to give $450K to every illegal alien for the "psychological trauma" all of them suffered from being separated at the border
during the Trump years. Can they be serious? The talk is that this will come about by executive order, bypassing
Congress, where even some Democrats would likely reject this insanity. If this happens, it exponentially increases the
incentive to come here illegally. It'll explode the national debt beyond all bounds of manageability. It will
crush the taxpayer and threaten the foundation of our economic system, from every angle. Yet it's being talked about
seriously. Whether it actually comes to pass or not is not the point. The point is that to the new Progressive
way of thinking and governing, no entitlement is too much; no amount of government vote-buying bribery is beyond the pale.
Mayorkas
admits Remain in Mexico policy works but administration launches second attempt to end it. The Biden
administration is making a second attempt at eliminating a Trump-era agreement with Mexico that proved to slow the flow of
illegal migrants crossing the southern border. The Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), commonly known as the Remain in
Mexico policy, is to be reinstated in November under a court order. Joe Biden eliminated the Remain in Mexico policy as
one of his first acts as president. With the sweep of a pen, Biden busily ended as much of the previous
administration's policies and agreements with Mexico as possible. Biden ran on eliminating border security measures,
essentially caving to progressive activists who demand open borders. His actions caused the Biden border crisis we now
see, with hundreds of thousands of migrants flooding the southern border with impunity.
Biden's
'Build Back Better' Budget Includes $80B Wealth Transfer To Illegal Aliens. President Joe Biden's "Build Back
Better Act," a filibuster-proof $1.75 trillion budget reconciliation package, includes an $80 billion wealth transfer from
Americans to illegal aliens via child tax credits. This week, Democrats unveiled a reconciliation package that they
negotiated with the Biden administration that would extend the Child Tax Credit (CTC) for another year and deliver billions
of dollars to illegal aliens who would be able to claim the tax credit without ever having to work. Specifically, as
Breitbart News reported, estimates project that, if passed, the budget would provide illegal aliens with about $80 billion in
child tax credits over the course of a decade — a massive cost to American taxpayers who would have to foot the bill.
Biden
Administration Makes Insane Proposal of Million-Dollar Payouts to Illegals. Rep. Doug Lamborn pointed out
that $450,000 is more than the 9/11 victim's fund — and this new proposal is for people who entered our country
completely illegally. Can you imagine how many more are now making a beeline for our open border after hearing about
this incredible largesse? If you want to get some laughs, or maybe vengeance, take a look at the comments section on
the Daily Mail's coverage of the story that ranges from "I'm a Democrat and this is the dumbest thing I ever heard" to
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) tweeting, "It's unthinkable to pay a burglar who broke into your home for the 'psychological
trauma' they endured during the crime." Well, maybe that's not funny. In fact, the whole thing isn't very funny,
when you think about it.
The
true heinousness of the proposed $450,000 payments to illegal aliens. The Biden administration, in cooperation
with the American Civil Liberties Union, is preparing to excavate your wallet because some illegal immigrants were separated
from their families for a short time when they criminally crossed our fenceless Southern border. [...] In many cases, the
children and adults were not really part of the same family. The adults simply rented the children from Mexican
professional human-smuggling "coyotes" so the illegals could fake the special immigration status reserved for families.
Of course, even though everything the immigrants did was totally illegal, the ACLU found a welcoming administration in the
Bidenistas. According to the lawyers, the children suffered from heat exhaustion and malnutrition in the cages the
Obama Administration built. It does not matter that the heat exhaustion and malnutrition resulted from the kids'
extended trek across the blazing hot Mexican desert with no food or water. Once the young people crossed the border,
they were put into air-conditioned detention centers, received three full meals a day, medical attention, and everything else
you would expect in a typical government giveaway.
Biden
Regime Rescinds Remain in Mexico Again Since It Costs Too Much. The Biden administration is once again
rescinding former President Trump's Remain in Mexico policy, according to TheHill.com. He doesn't want anything to
impede his open borders as millions of phony asylum seekers pour through. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
first moved in June to scrap the policy, which Trump introduced in 2019. It mandates the mostly fake asylum seekers to await
a potential ruling in their case in Mexico. The Biden regime sued and won an initial victory from Texas and Missouri,
which argued the Biden administration too hastily withdrew the policy.
What kind of "homeland security" is this? DHS
issues memo to cancel 'Remain in Mexico' border policy. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas issued a
new memo Friday [10/29/2021] seeking to cancel the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" border policy that helped solve the previous migrant
surge. The move comes even as Mr. Mayorkas is trying to restart the program under a federal judge's injunction. In
a lengthy memo, the Department of Homeland Security said the U.S. cannot assure the safety of people it pushes back across the border
under the policy, officially known as the Migrant Protection Protocols, and the government doesn't want to spend the money needed to
improve conditions in Mexico.
The Editor says...
If the U.S. taxpayers began to spend money on refurbishing Mexico, every contiguous country from Guatemala to Argentina would demand the same.
Yes, Mexico is a mess. Cleaning it up is Mexico's problem. By all means, remain in Mexico — or Haiti, or wherever you're from.
The United States has plenty of unskilled freeloaders already.
Border
Patrol tallies record 557 migrant deaths on US-Mexico border in 2021 fiscal year. US Border Patrol recorded
more migrant deaths on the US southern border in fiscal year 2021 than in any prior year on record, according to data shared
by the agency Thursday [10/28/2021]. There were 557 Southwest border deaths during the fiscal year, which ended
September 30. That's up from 254 deaths in fiscal year 2020 and 300 deaths in 2019, marking a significant increase
amid a 30-record year for border crossings. The agency data on deaths dates to 1998. A majority of migrant border deaths
have been related to heat exposure, according to the agency. Migrants often face dangerous terrain and can get lost as they
try to make their way to the US.
The Editor says...
The situation is probably far worse on the south side of the border.
Border
crisis hits classrooms as unaccompanied minors flood NY schools. America's crisis at the border is now a crisis
in New York public schools. The Biden Administration is flooding New York City and Long Island communities with
thousands of unaccompanied immigrant minors captured crossing the Mexico-US border, often arriving here, as The Post recently
reported, via clandestine flights in the middle of the night. The arrival of these children, mostly teenage boys, in
local schools is creating a classroom crisis that is strapping educational resources, costing taxpayers millions in
un-budgeted dollars, and aiding gang-recruiting efforts, argue parents, teachers and immigration experts. "We're at
maxed capacity for kids with special needs, but they'll keep sending them," lamented one high school teacher in Queens, among
the communities hardest hit by the illegal-immigrant student dump.
Biden
Administration Expands List of 'Sensitive' Places Where Immigration Officers Cannot Make Arrests. President Joe
Biden's top homeland security official on Wednesday ordered immigration officers not to arrest illegal immigrants at a number
of places, including food banks and shelters. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas detailed the safe spaces
for illegal aliens in a memorandum to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. "Sensitive locations" where
officers were barred from detaining people in the country illegally previously constituted of a small number of settings,
including churches, hospitals, and schools. The locations are now being referred to as "protected areas." Mayorkas
added social services establishments like homeless shelters, anywhere disaster or emergency relief is being provided, and
places where children gather, including playgrounds, childcare centers, and school bus stops.
Migrant
Caravan Marches to U.S. on Mexican Highway. An estimated 3,000 to 5,000 mostly Central American and Haitian
migrants continue their trek through southern Mexico to reach the United States. The video shows a portion of the
caravan filmed on Monday. The video, provided by a source within CBP, was captured by Mexican authorities who are
monitoring the group. The video shows migrants pushing baby strollers and carrying personal belongings as they fill
several lanes of a public highway. According to the source, the group is still attempting to push through the southern
state of Chiapas. The source says the group has avoided at least one attempt by the National Institute of Migration
(INM) and other Mexican authorities to deter them from continuing north.
The
Biden administration's mind-boggling cash giveaway to illegal aliens. Aside from exploitative nonprofits and
opportunistic politicians, very few Americans invited illegal aliens to break our immigration laws intentionally —
their very first act in the United States. Indeed, many Americans have had negative interactions with illegals,
examples of which we see on an almost daily basis. Just the other day, a drunk-driving illegal alien killed a
five-year-old girl, and there are other stories of thefts, robberies, sexual assaults. There are very few things anyone
can point to that would be considered a benefit to having them around. Only crazed Democrats could find a way to excuse
this. Of course, Joe Biden has almost erased our southern border in an act of petty vindictiveness against President
Trump and law-abiding Americans.
Biden
administration is considering awarding $450,000 per person to families separated at the border under Trump's zero-tolerance
policy. The Biden administration is considering paying out a whopping $450,000 per person to families separated
at the southern border as it tries to settle lawsuits with migrants who say the policy caused them lasting psychological
damage. Officials from the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services are considering the
payments that could total close to $1 million for two people within the same family, people familiar told the Wall Street
Journal. The American Civil Liberties Union, which represents the separated families, has identified about 5,500
children separated from parents at the border during the course of the Trump-era policy.
Biden
Wants To Give Separated Illegal Immigrants $450,000 Per Person. The Biden administration is mulling a plan to
offer immigrant families separated during the Trump administration $450,000 per person in compensation, according to the
Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter. The payments [are] part of an inter-agency solution to
several lawsuits filed on behalf of separated parents and children claiming lasting psychological trauma could amount to
nearly $1 million per family, though 'the final numbers could shift,' according to the report. According to sources,
most of the families crossing into the US from Mexico included one parent and one child. Depending on circumstances,
many families could get smaller payouts.
Biden
Administration In Talks To Pay Illegal Immigrants $450,000 Per Person. If the Biden administration were trying
to convince Americans it had little sympathy for the economic distress, growing shortages, and job uncertainty many are
facing, one way to do it would be to offer an extreme amount of money to illegal immigrant families who claim they were
victims of separations under Trump's zero-tolerance immigration policy. It sounds insane, right? Well brace
yourselves. That is, in fact, what the Biden administration is in talks to do. [...] Although the numbers aren't final,
the payout could reach the staggering amount of more than $1 billion. That's a whole lot of cheese for what the
families say were health, mental and otherwise, problems caused by actions they themselves decided to inflict on their
children when they made the decision to enter the country illegally.
Texas
Republicans join Rep Chip Roy in calling for Sec Mayorkas' impeachment for 'undeniable and unavoidable damages' on US due to
border crisis. A number of Texas Republicans have signed on to Rep. Chip Roy's memo calling for the
impeachment of Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas, after the border officials apprehended a record 1.7 million
migrants trying to cross illegally during the 2021 fiscal year. The letter takes issue with Mayorkas terminating the
border wall, failing to take adequate legal action against illegal migrants and causing CBP to become overwhelmed, releasing
migrants into the interior of the US and refusing to enforce interior immigration laws. Roy writes that Mayorkas has refused
to expel most migrants under Title 42 and has ended the Migrant Protection Protocols, or the Remain in Mexico program.
Biden
administration expands no-go zones where ICE can't arrest illegal immigrants. The Department of Homeland
Security has expanded its list of locations off-limits for enforcement to include anywhere near graveyards, community
organization offices and any area where children "gather" — effectively blocking officers from making arrests
across many urban areas. The rules, issued Wednesday [10/27/2021], are designed to give illegal immigrants and others
associated with them access to essential services without fear of arrest, said Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas. "This principle is fundamental," Mr. Mayorkas said in a memo. "We can accomplish our enforcement
mission without denying or limiting individuals' access to needed medical care, children access to their schools, the
displaced access to food and shelter, people of faith access to their places of worship, and more."
The Editor says...
Here are a few words of feedback for Secretary Mayorkas: [#1] The "displaced" are present in this country
voluntarily. We can safely presume that they knew it was illegal to cross the international border when they did so; thus,
any inconvenience they suffer is their own fault. [#2] The illegal immigrants you're so eager to serve (at taxpayers' expense)
don't have a right to medical care, schools, food or shelter. They are trespassers, not guests. Whether they are sick, or hungry,
or about to give birth, they should be swiftly deported. The word will get around quickly. [#3] "This principle is fundamental,"
Mr. Mayorkas. If you had done your job, none of these unfortunate people would have made it into the U.S.
1,000
state troopers and Texas Rangers deploy to the border as 3,000 migrants prepare to arrive in days. A unit of
1,000 state police officers and Texas Rangers assigned to monitor areas along the Lone Star State's 1,241 miles of border
with Mexico is readying to guard against the next surge of migrants looking to defy President Joe Biden's
administration. A month has passed since Texas state law enforcement agents played a role in preventing some 15,000
migrants — mostly Haitians — from crossing the United States-Mexico border. The state troopers
and Rangers would be expected to do the same in the coming days, but with a smaller caravan of migrants predominantly led by
Central Americans that is marching through southern Mexico toward the United States.
New
Migrant Caravan Clashes With Mexican Feds Before March To U.S.. A caravan of thousands of migrants, mostly
Haitian and Central Americans, started making their way to Mexico City with the intent of reaching the U.S. border.
Migrants clashed with immigration authorities and broke through blockades set in southern Mexico. Officials estimate
between 2,000 to 3,100 people formed the initial caravan over the weekend with additional migrants expected to join along the
way, potentially swelling the group's size to 5,000, Noticieros Televisa reported.
Democrats
Are Actively Seeking To Eradicate America's Unique Culture. Right now, the open border is a national stab
wound. Democrats are deliberately keeping the wound open. [...] After all, they seem quite capable of defending turf
when they want to. When they actually care about protecting something — like themselves, for
example — they're suddenly highly competent, fully capable of finding money and resources, and able to things
done. They built a wall. That's one example. They built it around the Capital Building, remember?
It was up and fully functional within days. They also seem extremely good at keeping people out of certain areas
when it's time to oversee vote-counting during an election, or when it's time to protect their personal homes or gated
neighborhoods. But when it's our homes or neighborhoods, suddenly they're flummoxed. But why would they
be doing it on purpose? Answer: to gain power.
Massive
Illegal Immigrant Zombie Horde Barrels Right Through Mexican Forces, Heads Towards America. A massive and
organized migrant caravan is on its way from southern Mexico toward the U.S., and has already surged past a blockade by
Mexican forces attempting to stop it from getting to the U.S.-Mexico border. Organizers tell Fox News that there are
thousands of migrants in the caravan, setting off from Tapachula, Mexico — some carrying American flags and signs
with President Biden's name. Tapachula is in the south of the country on the border with Guatemala. The caravan
is not merely a group of migrants congregating together, organizers made migrants who wished to participate in the caravan to
register with a QR code on their phones or a web link to participate.
Nine
months that shook the world: A list of Biden's failures. [For example,] The southern border. While
Biden all but said his hands were tied by Trump's agreement to take our troops out of Afghanistan, he felt no such need to
continue the stay-in-Mexico policy for refugees that Trump successfully negotiated with the Mexican president. The
result is the ongoing crisis at the southern border. Illegal crossings at that border have soared since January.
A record number — 1.7 million — have illegally entered the nation at that border so far in
2021. They are unmasked and not checked to see if they are infected by the COVID-19 virus.
Border
Patrol to fire up to 5K agents over vaccine mandate. U.S. Border Patrol plans to fire agents who don't receive
the COVID-19 vaccine. According to reports on Friday, the agency is looking to enforce Joe Biden's federal vaccine
mandate by the end of November. They said those who refuse to do so without an approved religious or medical exemption
could face action up to termination. Critics have said this would only further complicate the crisis at the southern
border, where over 1.5 million illegal immigrants have crossed in 2021 alone. Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs (R)
said he believes as many as 5,000 agents could separate from Border Patrol over the issue.
The Editor says...
Illegal aliens aren't required to have vaccinations, but the Border Patrol is. To whom does that make any sense?
192,001
migrants caught in September; border notches one of worst years on record. Homeland Security reported another
192,001 encounters with illegal immigrants on the southwestern border in September, topping off one of the worst fiscal years
on record. The monthly total marked a slight decline from July and August, which Customs and Border Protection touted
as a needed improvement. But the numbers were still startlingly bad for an administration that insists it has things
under control along the boundary with Mexico.
Tens
of thousands of Brazilians and Venezuelans illegally cross US-Mexico border. Tens of thousands of migrants from
South America have flown into Mexico and crossed into a remote part of Arizona since late summer, as word spreads far beyond
Central America that the United States's southern border is penetrable, according to two people familiar with the change in
migration trends. More than 7,000 Brazilians and Venezuelans were encountered illegally crossing the border near Yuma
in August, an unusually high number of people to come from countries outside the usual El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and
Mexico, whose citizens most often flee to the U.S.
Why
Is Biden Moving Refugees. Not only does Biden prefer foreigners over his fellow Americans, he lacks the
integrity to be transparent about it. How else could one explain the fact that his administration is dispersing illegal
aliens throughout the country via secret flights under cover of darkness? If Americans supported allowing unchecked
numbers of foreigners into the country, this kind of subterfuge would not be necessary. To land these planes in broad
daylight, however, would invite protests and images that would embarrass the Biden White House, like those from the shameful
Afghanistan retreat and the more than 10,000 Haitians under that bridge in Del Rio, Texas. So instead, untold numbers
of foreigners are being dumped into communities while their citizens are asleep and none the wiser. That is neither
transparent, competent, nor compassionate. Such chicanery creates another battle over states' rights versus federal
authority, and the anti-border crowd's duplicity on the issue is predictable. During the Trump Administration, "the
resistance" was all-in for the cause of cities and states with sanctuary laws that harbor illegal aliens from deportation.
Levin:
Migrant flights 'all about politics', targeting suburbs: 'They're not going to Newark or Camden'. Fox News host
Mark Levin said Tuesday [10/19/2021] he believes there is a clear geopolitical aspect to the Biden administration's secretive
migrant flights and ensuing shuttling of illegal immigrants to suburban locations in the Mid-Atlantic and South. Levin
cited the New York Post's bombshell report from earlier in the week that revealed thousands of young migrants landing in the
dead of night at Westchester Airport in White Plains, New York, where the passengers are then bused to various drop off
points. "Aren't you sick of government operating this way, under cover of dark — without the American people
even knowing what's taking place?" Levin asked his audience on "The Mark Levin Show on Westwood One", calling out liberal
mainstream newspapers for largely ignoring the situation.
Migrants
using QR code to organize caravan headed toward Mexico City. Migrants from Central American countries and Haiti
are turning to technology to organize a caravan headed toward the country's capitol where they intend to ask immigration
officials there for help establishing their refugee status to avoid getting deported from the country. A QR code is
being shared among migrants that links to an online consent form saying the person agrees to pay for their own travel
expenses. The announcement is in Spanish and Haitian Creole, according to the organization Pueblos Unidos
Migrantes. Most migrants are heading north from Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico after growing frustrated while waiting for
permission from Mexico's National Institute for Migration to stay in the country as refugees.
Facebook
users [are] allowed to share advice, tips on crossing border illegally. Facebook has acknowledged it allows
people to share information on how to immigrate illegally or be smuggled into the U.S., saying it crafted the policy to give
them a shot at asylum and prevent them from relying on human traffickers. The company made the admission in a private
letter to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich. Mr. Brnovich was stunned by the revelation and wrote a letter
late last week to the Justice Department. He asked U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to open an investigation into
the social media giant and find a way to "stop its active encouragement and facilitation of illegal entry."
Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 1939, page 2.
There's
a Reason Why Most Don't Know About Joe Biden's Secret Flights. We all know the border is a mess. [...] Of all
the crises engulfing this White House, this one was avoidable. Biden just decided to create a new one because a) he is
a legitimate moron, and b) he wanted to show the Democratic base he wasn't Trump. Well, Trump had it right on the
border and nothing says failure than scurrying around a bunch of illegals in the dead of night to avoid the press. For
weeks, the Biden administration has been transporting illegal minors in the dead of night, but The New York Post did some
digging around. [...] Send them home, Joe. That's what you should do, but you won't. You probably don't know
what's going on, just like in Afghanistan, just like with your jobs plan, just like with spiking inflation, or the global
supply chain crisis. You don't know because you cannot do the job. You're mentally too slow. You're
inept. And you cannot do this from the basement. Also, you need to answer questions.
GOP
Rep. Tony Gonzales says 100,000 migrants are heading towards the US from Central America and 52 were stopped in Panama
because of terrorism ties. Texas Republican Rep. Tony Gonzalez said Monday [10/18/2021] that Panama
foreign minister Erica Mouynes told him that as many as 100,000 migrants have crossed through her country on the way to the
US, and 52 of those they apprehended had ties to al-Qaeda. Speaking on the 'Real America' podcast with GOP chairwoman
Ronna McDaniel, the San Antonio congressman said the situation in Del Rio, Texas is the 'worst I've ever seen it.'
He said that Mouynes came to visit him and a number of other lawmakers to get word out about the coming onslaught.
Ted
Cruz wants to ship illegal immigrants to Democratic states. Tired of having Texas bear the brunt of the border
crisis, Sen. Ted Cruz is proposing a different idea: Ship newly arrived illegal immigrants to deep blue
territories like New England or California, and see how they handle it. He even proposed putting one of the new ports
of entry for processing illegal immigrants in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, which is President Biden's vacation retreat.
The Republican senator on Tuesday [10/19/2021] announced his bill, the Stop the Surge Act, which he said would bring the
border problems straight to "where Democrat elites host their cocktail parties."
Ted
Cruz Introduces Bill That Would Send Illegal Immigrants To The Towns Of Rich White Liberals For Processing. In
the midst of the ongoing border crisis, Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz filed legislation on Tuesday that would establish
processing centers for illegal immigrants in areas such as Martha's Vineyard and other Democrat-led communities.
Earlier this month, Cruz said: "For the past ten months, President Biden and his administration have willingly
surrendered the United States' southern border to dangerous criminal cartels, with no thought given to the South Texas border
communities like McAllen and Del Rio, which are running low on resources from dealing with this massive influx of illegal
immigrants[.]" The legislation was introduced before Cruz made his statement.
In
New York it's now illegal to threaten to report someone to ICE. It is now illegal in New York to threaten to
report someone's immigration status. Gov. Kathy Hochul signed into law last week a bill that classifies such
threats as extortion or coercion. Previously, such threats were treated as a crime solely in cases of labor and sex
trafficking. "This legislation will protect New Yorkers from bad actors who use extortion or coercion due to their
immigration status, and make our state safer against vile threats and intimidation," Hochul said in a press release.
California, Colorado, Maryland and Virginia have enacted similar pieces of legislation.

Air Force One with remote-control window shades. Biden will take the four-engine goliath another 2,450 miles to Rome
and back for what seems like yet another monthly G-20 meeting. And then, of course, when in Rome, the ardent abortion
advocate will flaunt his Roman Catholic faith in an audience with Pope Francis, trying to snuff simmering rumors of his
impending excommunication. All this for the Democrat to show participants in the U.N.'s Climate Change Conference in
Glasgow how all-in he is to save the global environment from the terrible things that other wanton humans are doing to cause
and worsen global warming for their own ends.
Biden
secretly flying underage migrants into NY in dead of night. Planeloads of underage migrants are being flown
secretly into suburban New York in an effort by President Biden's administration to quietly resettle them across the region,
The [New York] Post has learned. The charter flights originate in Texas, where the ongoing border crisis has
overwhelmed local immigration officials, and have been underway since at least August, according to sources familiar with the
matter. Last week, The Post saw two planes land at the Westchester County Airport, where most of the passengers who got
off appeared to be children and teens, with a small portion appearing to be men in their 20s. Westchester County cops
stood by as the passengers — whose flights arrived at 10:49 p.m. Wednesday and 9:52 p.m.
Friday — got off and piled into buses. Some of them were later seen meeting up with relatives or sponsors in
New Jersey, or being dropped off at a residential facility on Long Island.
It's 28 dollars per capita. What will that buy? The added bureaucracy will cost more than that. Biden
administration provides $20 million to assist 700,000 migrants seeking asylum in US. The U.S. government
announced Friday it will provide more than $20 million to nearly 700,000 asylum seeks, refugees and vulnerable migrants in
Central America and Mexico. The additional funding, provided through the Department of State's Bureau of Population,
Refugees, and Migration (PRM), will "help meet urgent humanitarian needs," and brings the total humanitarian assistance for
Central America and Mexico to more than $331 million for Fiscal Year 2021, according to the state department's spokesperson
Ned Price.
Lawrence
Jones blasts Biden admin over border catastrophe: 'Get down here and do your job!' 'Fox & Friends" reporter
Lawrence Jones described what is going on at the U.S. border involving the danger the cartels pose to the National Guard
while bluntly telling the Biden administration to "get down here and do your job." The Texas Department of Public
Safety is reporting that suspected cartel members were taunting Texas National Guard troops and firing shots across the
border at them in Roma, Texas this week, according to Fox News. Lawrence Jones was on the ground with Texas officials
getting a firsthand look at what was transpiring there. "It was rough out there when it comes to what these National
Guardsmen are dealing with as well the troopers on the ground," Jones stated. "We can't confirm they are part of the
cartel, we just know the cartel works with these people."
Border
Agents Feel Hopeless: 'We're not making any difference'. Morale among Border Patrol agents has plummeted to an
all-time low as they struggle to process unprecedented volumes of illegal immigrants, while knowing they're unable to secure
the border against cartel activity. Many blame their own leadership for enabling it. "Day after day, they just
look like they want to eat their gun," an agent told The Epoch Times, referring to some local agents in the Rio Grande Valley
Sector, who he says are bearing the brunt of it. "They just look like hell. It's hard to put it — you
just start seeing the life leaving people's faces."

to reimplement Trump's Remain in Mexico in November. The Biden administration told the courts late Thursday
that it plans to reimplement the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy in mid-November if it can get buy-in from the
neighboring government. The move comes after an initial victory by Texas and Missouri in a suit that argued the Biden
administration too hastily withdrew the policy, under which the U.S. transported 70,000 asylum-seekers to Mexico to await a
determination in their case. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has appealed the case and is working on a memo
to rescind the program anew, but it is still required to reimplement what was formally termed the Migrant Protection
Protocols (MPP) "in good faith."
The
rise of the middle class migration: South American families are flying to Mexico, getting a cab and crossing illegally
into US, Yuma border chief claims. While hundreds of thousands of poor migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. have
trekked on foot from South and Central America in the last eight months, there has also been a rise in middle class migrants
flooding the southern border. These so-called middle class migrants often fly to Mexico's northern border on
pre-planned flights and cross into the U.S. by cab or another car hire, a Border Patrol chief in Arizona told the Wall Street
Journal. 'They got off the plane and went to a cab or to a bus,' Chris Clem, Border Patrol's chief patrol agent in
Yuma, said.
CBP
to Report Record of Nearly 2 Million Migrants Encountered in 2021. U.S. Customs and Border Protection is set to
report just under 2 million migrant encounters nationwide for the recently ended Fiscal Year 2021. The number of migrants
encountered by Border Patrol agents and CBP officers jumped 202 percent over the previous year's roughly 647,000.
CBP Officers and Border Patrol agents encountered nearly 1.96 million migrants nationwide during FY21 which ended on
September 30, according to a highly placed source operating under the umbrella of the Department of Homeland
Security. A document from the agency reviewed by Breitbart Texas revealed the record-breaking level of migrant
encounters along the U.S.-Mexico Border.
The
Time Has Come To Nobly Save Or Meanly Lose. Our country is being invaded by hundreds of thousands of persons of
unknown character and health. In addition to COVID, diseases unknown in the United States for decades are entering our
shores. The government is sending sociopaths, the mentally ill, and terrorists to live in our communities. Our
federal laws do not allow persons to enter the country unvetted. Therefore, we must demand that the laws be faithfully
executed and that Congress pass no new spending bills until the border is closed and an assessment can be made.
Leaked
documents reveal shocking numbers of illegal migrants [are being] released into the U.S.. The number of illegal
migrants released into the United States by the Biden administration is staggering. Fox News obtained an exclusive
story with documents from the Border Patrol. They are being released with little or no supervision and no fear of
deportation. The fact is that no matter how many times DHS Secretary Mayorkas says the border is closed, the numbers
don't lie. Since March, at least 160,000 illegal migrants have been released into the United States. There is a
broad use of limited parole authority that made more than 30,000 migrants eligible for work permits since August. To
point to the obvious, that's 30,000 jobs taken from legal residents.
DHS
drafts plan to allow fraudsters to keep citizenship. The Homeland Security Department is circulating a draft
proposal that would severely curtail its attempts to strip citizenship from people who were naturalized based on fraud.
The Washington Times saw a draft of the memo, from Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the heads of the three immigration
agencies. The memo says people might not apply for citizenship because they worry about losing it in the future.
"Naturalized citizens deserve finality and security in their rights as citizens," the memo says. "Department policies
should not cause a chilling effect or barriers for lawful permanent residents seeking to naturalize."
DHS
Chief Orders ICE to End Mass Raids of Workplaces of Suspected Illegal Aliens. Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas issued a memo Tuesday [10/12/2021] ordering immigration and border agents to stop raids and arrests at
workplaces of suspected illegal aliens. "The deployment of mass worksite operations, sometimes resulting in the
simultaneous arrest of hundreds of workers, was not focused on the most pernicious aspect of our country's unauthorized
employment challenge: exploitative employers," Mayorkas said in the three-page memo. "These highly visible operations
misallocated enforcement resources while chilling, and even serving as a tool of retaliation for, worker cooperation in
workplace standards investigations." The memo [...] calls the agencies to shift their focus toward "unscrupulous
employers who exploit the vulnerability of undocumented workers."
DHS
Secretary: As Many as 12,000 Illegal Haitian Immigrants Released Into the US in Recent Days. Secretary of
Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said on Sept. 26 that a significant number of Haitian illegal immigrants who had amassed
along the U.S.-Mexico border last week are being released into the United States. About 12,400 of 17,000 Haitians are
having their cases heard by immigration courts, Mayorkas said, adding that some 5,000 are being processed by the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS). Only about 3,000 are in detention, he said. "Approximately, I think it's about 10,000
or so, 12,000," Mayorkas told "Fox News Sunday" when he was asked about the number of Haitian illegal aliens who have been
released into the interior of the United States. The number could rise as 5,000 more cases are processed, he said.
Leaked
Biden Admin Border Patrol Docs Show 'Mass Release' Of 160,000 Illegal Immigrants. Leaked documents from Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) obtained by Fox News' Bill Melugin show that the Biden administration initiated a "mass release"
of 160,000 illegal immigrants into the United States beginning in March amid a record-setting number of border
crossings — and 70,000 of those releases happened in the last two months. "At least 160,000 illegal
immigrants have been released into the U.S., often with little to no supervision, by the Biden administration since
March — including a broad use of limited parole authorities to make more than 30,000 eligible for work permits
since August," according to Fox News. 'The documents give a partial snapshot into how the Biden administration has been
releasing enormous numbers of migrants into the U.S., often with little to no oversight, supervision or immediate risk of
deportation." Melugin posted some of the documents on Twitter, and they appear to show that the U.S. government has
released around 90,000 asylum seekers, who crossed the border illegally and eventually encountered CBP, with "notices to
report" — a demand letter that requires the immigrants to check in with an Immigrant and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
office when they settle in an American city and begin the asylum process.
The Editor says...
Ri-i-i-ight. They'll either "begin the asylum process," or they'll begin the disappearance process.
Leaked
Border Patrol docs show mass release of illegal immigrants into US by Biden administration. At least 160,000
illegal immigrants have been released into the U.S., often with little to no supervision, by the Biden administration since
March — including a broad use of limited parole authorities to make more than 30,000 eligible for work permits
since August, Border Patrol documents obtained by Fox News show. The documents give a partial snapshot into how the
Biden administration has been releasing enormous numbers of migrants into the U.S., often with little to no oversight,
supervision or immediate risk of deportation. Since March 20, at least 94,570 illegal immigrants have been released
into the U.S. with Notices to Report. Those who receive such a notice are only required to check in with an ICE office
when they get to their final destination — which could be anywhere across the country. Those who check in
are not deported or detained as their immigration proceedings move forward.
Orchestrated
crisis to bring tens of thousands of people to southern border in coming weeks. Tens of thousands of migrants
from other countries are making their way north to the southern border, an open border activist and government officials
warn. Irineo Mujica, Director of Pueblo Sin Fronteras, an NGO that provides "shelter and safety to migrants and
refugees in transit" and accompanies them "in their journey," says a new Haitian caravan is making its way to the U.S. border
from Tapachula, Mexico. He also says 800 Haitians and Central Americans are crossing the Guatemalan border every day
making their way north. The Haitian caravan is supposed to leave around Oct. 25 from Mexico, with or without clearance
from Mexico, he says.
DHS
secretary orders ICE to stop targeting illegal immigrants at jobs. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas issued new orders Tuesday halting ICE from going after large numbers of illegal immigrants at job sites, saying it
is a waste of resources and actually helps unscrupulous employers abuse unauthorized workers. Mr. Mayorkas said he
wants his department's three immigration agencies to come up with new strategies to target employers while leaving the
illegal immigrants unscathed. But those solutions are in the future. For now, he said, "mass worksite operations"
must cease.
Migrant Caravan Activist
Says They Are 'Ready For War'. A new Haitian caravan is headed for the United States in 20 states and the man
leading them says they are prepared for "war." The migrant caravan advocate who is in Southern Mexico says that his
group is going to head to the U.S. border from Tapachula around Oct. 25, a Border Report translation said. "We are
leaving in 20 days," Irineo Mujica said in a video shared on Tuesday on social media. "We prefer to march with (travel)
papers. [...] And this time, with papers or without papers, we are ready for war. If the National Guard comes and they
are cowardly enough to beat women and children, let them prepare because God's hand is with us."
The Editor says...
If God's hand is with you, why do you have to move to the U.S.?
Biden
Admin Cancels Border Wall Contracts As U.S. Expects Record Surge In Illegal Immigration. Democrat President Joe
Biden's administration announced on Friday that it is canceling multiple contracts to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico
border as U.S. Border Patrol braces for a record surge in illegal immigration in October. The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) announced that the Biden administration will "cancel the remaining border barrier contracts located within
U.S. Border Patrol's (USBP) Laredo Sector and all border barrier contracts located in the Rio Grande Valley Sector." [...]
The Biden administration's announcement comes just days after reports that the administration is expecting a surge of up to
400,000 migrants attempting to illegally cross the southern border in October — nearly double the 21-year record
broken in July, when over 210,000 migrants illegally crossed the southern border. The day after the news broke of the
expected surge in illegal immigration, Rodney Scott, the Biden administration's former chief of the United States Border
Patrol, revealed that the Biden administration had "shut down" investments in new technology to secure the border.
Exposing
the Left's Border Scam Is Now a 'Hate Crime'. Like Prohibition-era bootleggers unloading barrels of whiskey in
broad daylight, the anti-borders Left has been flouting the law in public for decades as it enables a vast and profitable
human trafficking operation through south Texas. In today's gaslit, no-accountability culture, the problem isn't
finding the crime, but in naming the perpetrators and exposing their motives. Financial gain is obviously a big
incentive in the immigration scam against America. Numerous beneficiaries include the cartels that traffic the people,
"charities" that get a piece of the action for moving the human cargo throughout the country, and stateside businesses that
reap the benefit of cheap foreign labor. These parties seem largely indifferent to being called out for their roles in
the scam. It comes from a confidence in knowing that, regardless of who knows what, the operation will roll on without
so much as a speed bump.
Mexican
cartels firing machine guns across the Rio Grande at National Guard troops. I believe that there's a word for a
situation in which munitions are fired across an international border aimed at troops defending that border. It is a
"war." Fox News' Bill Melugin — the preeminent journalist on the story of our southern border —
captured video of tracer rounds at night coming across the Rio Grande, and the taunts that accompanied them.
Clearly an act of war: Mexican
cartel fires a machine gun across the border into the US with bullets zipping above a National Guard observation post as
migrants flood in. Suspected members of a Mexican cartel were caught on video firing multiple rounds of bullets
across the border into Texas on Thursday [10/7/2021]. The footage was captured by a reporter amid reports that Texas
National Guard members in Starr County have seen cartel gunfights increase near the border recently. Fox's Bill Melugin,
who claimed to have seen everything, added that the National Guardsmen were not certain whether this was a shootout or just
meant to intimidate.
Arizona
border just as 'out of control' as Texas, Gov. Doug Ducey warns. Texas has been the center of the border
crisis, but Arizona is also in peril and bearing the brunt of Mexican cartels' smuggling of people into the United States at
record-high levels, its governor said. "What's already happening in Yuma is reflective of what's happening on the Texas
border," Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey said in an interview with the Washington Examiner in Mission, Texas. "Arizona is
a border state. We faced this before, but we've never faced a crisis this large in 21 years."
Biden
apologizes to Haiti, but not Americans, for Haitian land invasion of United States. You may not have liked his
'mean' tweets or his demeanor on the national or global stage, but one thing extremely positive about Donald Trump is that he
was the most "America First" president we've had since Ronald Reagan. Everything Trump did, policy wise, was done in
regard to how it would first benefit America and Americans. Never once did he put other people or other countries'
interests ahead of ours. And for that, nearly 75 million people voted to reelect him last fall, the most ever for
a Republican nominee (we can talk some other time about the phony 81 million votes Joe Biden allegedly got). But
speaking of Biden, the 'America First' policies are gone with Trump, and it's obvious in everything the mind-addled
'president' does.
69
Percent of Hispanics Disapprove of Biden's Handling of Immigration. Amid the border crisis, which escalated
last week with the apprehension of over ten thousand Haitian migrants, President Biden has fallen out of favor with the
majority of Hispanic Americans over his handling of immigration policy. Sixty-nine percent of Hispanics disapprove of
Biden's handling of immigration, while only 23 percent approve, according to a new Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday
[10/6/2021]. As for the Biden administration's handling of deportations of illegal aliens, 41 percent of Hispanic
respondents say it is "not aggressive enough" while 20 percent say Biden has been "acting appropriately." As
thousands of Haitian migrants have been released into the country, under the pretense that they will return for a court date
in a couple of years to have their asylum cases adjudicated, many Republican lawmakers predict that they will disappear into
the interior, if historical patterns hold.
More
than 400,000 sneaked over southern border and got away in past year, former Border Patrol head says. The U.S.
Border Patrol reported more than 400,000 people who illegally crossed the border were able to get away without being arrested
over just the past 12 months, according to the agency's previous leader. "We have over 400,000 documented gotaways,
people or incidents, where people cross the border, got away this last year," former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott said in
an interview that aired on Fox News Tuesday evening [10/5/2021].
Ugandan
Family That Paid 5k To Mexican Smugglers Caught On Cam Being Escorted Onto Plane Without IDs. From 100 Percent
Fed Up: On July 15, retired ICE Special Agent Victor Avila bought a ticket to fly on an American Airlines partner, One
World from McAllen, TX. While waiting in a room filled with illegal aliens waiting to be shipped to their new homes in
various communities across America, he struck up a conversation with a woman from Uganda. According to Victor Avila,
"The women from Uganda spoke perfect English and was more than happy to share" information on how she made it from Uganda to
the United States. The Ugandan woman, who was preparing to board the American Airlines flight in McAllen, TX, told
Avila that she, her husband, and toddler were headed for Portland, Oregon. Victor asked her how they got from Uganda to
McAllen, Texas? The Ugandan woman explained that she and her family flew directly from Uganda to Mexico City, Mexico,
where they met with a smuggler who they paid $5,000 per family member to secure their passage across the Mexican border to
Texas. [Video clip]
Biden's
Migrant Crisis Is Getting People Killed. Recent reports indicate that a significant number of migrants
attempting to make the journey to the southern border have died along the way. The issue is migrants attempting to make
it to the southern border by walking through the Darien Gap, which CBS News describes as "a 60-mile stretch of lawless
jungle." Migrants are traveling through the Darien Gap to reach Panama, and from there, continue on to the southern
border. The report notes that "at least 50 bodies have reportedly been found this year, but the real death toll is
estimated to be four times higher." The Darien Gap is particularly dangerous due to harsh conditions —
especially in summer weather — and the presence of cartels and gangs, who prey upon those seeking to gain entry to
the United States.
Noncitizen
Voting in Vermont [is] Part of Democrats' 'Long Game'. Noncitizens will be able to vote in two Vermont cities
as part of a growing national trend, unless lawsuits prevent new laws from taking effect. The cities of Montpelier,
with about 7,375 residents, and Winooski, with about 7,335, both will allow noncitizens to vote in local elections for
offices such as mayor, city council, and school board. Related changes to the two city charters required the approval
of voters as well as the state's Democrat-controlled Legislature, which in June overrode a veto by Vermont Gov. Phil
Scott, a Republican. "These are very liberal cities with progressive Democrats," Rob Roper, president of the Ethan
Allen Institute, a free-market think tank based in Montpelier, told The Daily Signal.
Unsustainable.
At the end of September, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas issued a memo to Immigration and Customs
Enforcement officials laying out new guidelines for enforcing immigration law. Mayorkas's memo would exempt from
deportation most illegal immigrants who entered the United States before November 2020 unless they had some connection to
terrorism or had engaged in serious criminal conduct. The new approach could both worsen problems at the southern
border and make a badly needed political settlement on immigration harder to attain. The word "immigrant" does not
occur once in Mayorkas's memo. Instead, he classifies illegal immigrants as "undocumented noncitizens." Mayorkas
declares that "the fact an individual is a removable noncitizen therefore should not alone be the basis of an enforcement
action against them." Under the terms of the memo, someone being in the country illegally would not be sufficient
reason for the federal government to pursue deportation.
Texas
braces for surge of 60,000 Haitian migrants. State officials are bracing for what could be the largest surge of
migrants ever to attempt to enter the country illegally from Mexico, weeks after thousands of Haitians did so. While
border security falls under the federal government's responsibility, the Biden administration has significantly reined in the
Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. This has resulted in fewer deportations and many people being
released into the United States after illegally crossing the border, potentially incentivizing more illegal migration.
Overwhelmed Border Patrol agents have been pulled from the border to process people in custody, leaving the border unguarded
in many regions.
Catch-and-release
at border up more than 430,000% in August. What a difference a year makes on the border. In August 2020,
the Trump administration managed something stunning. Border Patrol agents caught more than 47,000 illegal immigrants
and immediately released just 10 of them into the interior. This August, under President Biden, the Border Patrol made
more than 195,000 arrests and released 43,941 people — an increase of more than 430,000%. Security experts
say that's the difference between a secure border and an unprecedented migrant surge.
Lucky
us: Illegal alien militants plan more obnoxious protests. At a time when illegals are surging to the
border in historic numbers, and public support for amnesty is collapsing, it would seem logical for illegal alien amnesty
activists to just lie low. But nope, they've decided that now's about the time to step up the obnoxious, disruptive
protests, along with harassment of U.S. elected officials. And if things go as they've always gone, it will once again
be to their grief.
Guess
what else showed up in the reconciliation bill for illegal aliens. I suppose we should have seen this one
coming, particularly considering the malarkey that the Democrats have been trying to shovel into the so-called reconciliation
bill from day one. After failing twice to convince the Senate Parliamentarian to allow some form of general amnesty for
illegal aliens as part of what is supposed to be a spending bill, some actual spending has now shown up. Only this
facet also represents a significant policy change, and possibly an illegal one at that. Stowed away in the bill is a
provision that would allow anyone residing in the United States who provides an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
(ITIN) to apply for the Child Tax Credit. Currently, all filers are required to provide a Social Security Number.
Border
Patrol Union's Judd: 'I've Never Seen the Morale Any Lower than It Is Right Now'. Even though President Joe
Biden has been in office only eight-and-a-half months, his policies have had a remarkably negative impact on the morale of
the Border Patrol, according to National Border Patrol Council president Brandon Judd. During an interview [...] Judd,
whose organization is the Border Patrol's union, said he had never seen morale any lower than right now and blamed Biden directly.
Between
Afghanistan and Immigration, Have We Ever Had a Less Competent President? [Scroll down] The second
completely self-generated Biden crisis is immigration. As with many other issues, it's now apparent that more than
anything else, Biden's goal was to undo what former President Donald Trump had done on immigration. The dominant
far-left activist wing of his party had campaigned on open borders. This is not a concept that sane people find
comforting. Countries need borders. Biden claims to understand this, but his actions to date have destroyed the
border security measures in place when he took office. To recap, when Trump first took office, the southern border was
in crisis. Human smugglers and left-wing activists realized there was no need to sneak across our border; if a migrant
showed up and claimed political asylum and a fear of persecution in their home country, we would release them to an American
community until a hearing could be held. The vast majority would then never show up for the hearing. Our
goodwill was abused by those seeking to game our system.
Democrats
need better arguments for their agenda than 'Orange Man Bad'. Incautiously, Democrats plunged into policymaking
without making anything like cognizable policy arguments. Trump had reduced illegal immigration by extending walls on
the Mexican border and persuading Mexico's president to hold asylum-seekers in Mexico until their (usually baseless) claims
could be ruled on. Both policies were ditched on Day 1 of the Biden administration. The policy argument:
"Orange man bad." Now, we see the easily predictable results. Border apprehensions are headed toward 2 million
this year — the highest since the 1998-2000 boom years. So-called asylum-seekers from Central America have
been joined by Middle Easterners, Africans and, most recently, by some 20,000 Haitians, previously settled in Chile and
Brazil, huddled under a bridge heading to Del Rio, Texas. Vice President Kamala Harris' pathetic plea, "Don't come,"
has been overwhelmed by the evidence that most of those who do come illegally are ushered into the United States and told to
meet court dates that everyone knows most won't. The likely result is something like 1 million new illegal immigrants
in the United States this year.
DHS
Prepared for Worst-Case October Scenario in Which 400,000 Illegal Migrants Pour Across Border. DHS Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas asked department officials if they were prepared for a "worst-case" scenario in which 400,000 illegal
immigrants rushed across the southern border in the month of October alone, according to reporting from NBC. Such a
massive inflow of migrants across the southern border would have smashed the records for the most illegal immigration in one
month, which Biden's administration broke in July with 210,000 migrants entering the United States. Mayorkas was
concerned with the pending termination of Title 42, a public health authority implemented by the Trump administration that
allowed quick expulsion of illegals on account of the coronavirus. A liberal judge had ordered the Biden administration
to cease use of Title 42 in September, with the ruling taking effect on Thursday [9/30/2021]. However, at the last
minute, a federal appeals court upheld the legality of Title 42, keeping it in place.
Isn't this what the telephone is for? Biden
aides dispatched to Haiti for listening tour as 60,000 migrants head toward border. Two senior U.S. diplomats
met face to face with leaders in Haiti this week as the Biden administration looks to stabilize its approach to the island
nation and calm pressures from home. Brian Nichols, President Joe Biden's newly confirmed assistant secretary of state
for Western Hemisphere affairs, and Juan Gonzalez, National Security Council senior director, arrived in Port-au-Prince
Thursday [9/30/2021] after a stop in Miami. There, they met with Haitian and Cuban American leaders to discuss the
challenges facing both of their countries.
DHS
fears up to 400,000 migrants could cross the border in October. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
reportedly asked his officials whether the department was ready to handle the possibility of up to 400,000 migrants, nearly
double the 21-year high seen in July, crossing the border in October. Despite public attempts to appear in control of
the situation at the southwest border, a phone call between Mayorkas and senior officials earlier this week shows a Biden
administration scrambling to contain a growing crisis. Mayorkas asked on the call if the border was ready for a
worst-case scenario of 350,000 to 400,000 migrants crossing the border next month, two DHS officials told NBC.
New
Mayorkas memo effectively opens the border. Anyone who's an economic migrant looking for a job can come in
now. There won't be any more instant deportations on COVID, or even recent-crosser grounds. No need for the
family thing anymore, no need to travel in families or send a child in alone; you can be a single, military-aged young man
traveling alone, and you can break into the U.S. and still find yourself at to the bottom of the enforcement priority
list. A deportation won't happen. What's more, Mayorkas says every migrant they apprehend, assuming they will do
that at all, needs to be fully vetted and background-checked for terrorist, espionage, and criminal proclivities before
becoming a priority for deportation. Good luck with that.
Destroying
America, Overtly or Covertly. It's almost laughable to hear some in the liberal media claim we have a "moral
obligation" to help immigrants when we are ignoring the plight of women in Afghanistan and so many other areas to which the
word "moral" might rightly be attached. Reaction to the open border has been as predictable as the coming of the fall
season. Some Democratic progressives shout "racism" because the latest flood includes Haitians. Signs rapidly
appear. Some say, "Stop deportation now!" Where did the signs come from? Who are the people carrying them, and
where do they come from? Is someone paying them? The media never ask these questions. Illegal immigrants
are not only attracted by low-paying jobs, but by lots of free stuff, like access to health care and public schools, all paid
for by American taxpayers. If a pregnant noncitizen gives birth on U.S. soil, her child instantly becomes a U.S.
citizen with all the benefits of full citizenship. One of the few political leaders responding to this crisis is Texas
Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican. Abbott has ordered state police to close off parts of the border because the
migrants are violating Texas law. For this, he is being pilloried and even sued by the Biden administration, though the
White House announced just recently that it would swiftly begin to deport Haitian migrants flooding into Del Rio,
Texas. But where's Vice President Kamala Harris, who was assigned to fix our border crisis?
Panama warns
of looming Haitian migrant wave, tens of thousands on the way. Nearly 30,000 Haitian migrants have already made
their way over the U.S.-Mexico border in recent weeks, but Panama's foreign minister says far more are on their
way — and she has been sounding the alarm for months. In a new interview with Axios, Foreign Minister Erika
Mouynes said that since the beginning of 2021 more than 85,000 Haitians have crossed through Panama and that she believes
"they all are heading toward the U.S."
Border Crisis Update For September 29, 2021.
Both the Biden Administration and his [director] of "Homeland Security" seem to view illegal aliens as a precious resource
that they must avoid deporting at all costs. [Numerous tweets]
Border
Patrol Breaks All-Time Migrant Apprehension Record in 2021. With less than 48 hours left in Fiscal Year 2021,
the Border Patrol has already surpassed the total number of migrant apprehensions made in any year along the southwest border
since the agency's inception in 1924. A source within Customs and Border Protection notes the unofficial apprehension record
shows more than 1,646,000 for the year as of Wednesday [9/29/2021]. The total reflects arrests made within the nine
southwest Border Patrol Sectors from California to Texas. According to CBP, the previous record stood since 2000 when
1,643,679 were arrested.
Ted
Cruz Points Out What's Been Missing From the Senate Judiciary Committee. During a working session on Capitol
Hill Wednesday, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) berated Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin for refusing to hold a single
hearing about the catastrophe continuing to unfold at the U.S. southern border with Mexico. [Tweet] During a speech on
the Senate floor late last week, Cruz detailed the impact unfettered illegal immigration is having on Texas communities.
"When I was in Del Rio, the 700 people under the bridge had become 10,503. That's what the total was the day I
was there. 10,503 packed in deplorable conditions. They'd already crossed into the United States. They were
packed under that bridge because the Border Patrol lacks the capacity to process anything close to that number. Within
a couple more days, the 10,503 had become 15,000 people. That's unprecedented. To put that in perspective, the
city of Del Rio has a population of 35,000 people — nearly half the population of Del Rio was under that bridge,"
Cruz said.
Biden
administration trying again to end 'Remain in Mexico' policy. The Biden administration has not given up on
doing away with the so-called "Remain in Mexico" policy known officially as the Migrant Protection Protocols, despite being
ordered by a court to reinstate the program implemented by former President Trump. The policy requires asylum seekers
at the southern border to remain in Mexico while they await hearings to determine their eligibility and status, rather than
allowing a release of migrants into the U.S. The Biden administration first attempted to end the program in June but was
sued by Texas and Missouri. Those states' attorneys general argued that ending the policy was harmful to the country
and that the way it was terminated was illegal.
Decoding
the Democrat Fantasy of Open Borders. [Scroll down] The left knows that they have been emphatically
rejected in the arena of ideas. There is no place on the earth that can boast of sustained prosperity under a left-wing
regime. Since they cannot win red states, they have devised a plan to dilute the impact of Republican voters by
flooding the country with impoverished and unskilled migrants. These individuals may end up partially or totally
dependent upon taxpayers' funds all their life. The left gives them welfare money enough to keep their heads above the
water. The grateful migrants become lifelong Democrat voters. The older residents are branded as 'deplorables'
and they need not be won over; they are just replaced with new Democrat voters. This is the only way the Democrats can
permanently remain in power. [...] This would explain why migrants are clandestinely bussed to red states. The illegal
immigrant may well agree to work for lower than minimum wage, which is a blessing for big businesses, who are Democrat donors.
DeSantis
Moves To Stop Biden From Flooding Florida With Illegal Aliens. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Tuesday
announced new actions that his administration is taking to stop Democrat President Joe Biden from flooding the state with
illegal aliens from the crisis that Biden created on the U.S.-Mexico border. [...] DeSantis has previously pressed the Biden
administration to provide transparency concerning where they are shipping the illegal aliens in the state, and the
administration refused to respond.
Florida
Sues Biden Administration Over Release of Illegal Immigrants. The Biden administration's repeated release of
illegal immigrants has drawn a legal challenge from the state of Florida. Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, a
Republican, sued the federal government over its "catch-and-release" policy, which has led to the freeing of over 225,000
illegal immigrants this year. The lawsuit primarily concerns the treatment of immigrants seeking asylum, which is
granted in cases where authorities rule they have a legitimate fear of persecution based on their race, religion, or several
other reasons. Federal law requires the government to detain the asylum seekers until authorities rule on their
case. But under President Joe Biden, it has released at least 225,000 illegal immigrants, including asylum seekers, so
far, according to Customs and Border Protection data. "Releasing this many arriving aliens into the interior
necessarily means that the government is violating congressional commands in the immigration laws," the 23-page suit, filed
in federal court in Pensacola, states.
Florida
sues Biden administration over catch-and-release policy, alleging violation of federal law. The state of
Florida is suing the Biden administration over its "illegal" catch-and-release policies at the Southern Border, saying they
cause harm to the state's "quasi-sovereign interests," while claiming officials are either in violation of federal
immigration law, or simply abusing their authority. Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed the suit against the
administration Tuesday, as part of a joint effort with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to "uphold the rule of law despite the
Biden administration's decision to violate the law." The suit was filed in the Pensacola Division of the Northern
District of Florida. Moody is not seeking a preliminary injunction. The defendants in the suit are the Department
of Homeland Security, its component agencies, like Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as well as Homeland Security
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, top officials from ICE, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS). The attorney general is also suing the United States itself.

DHS Secretary Opposes Wall Because It's A "Proud Tradition" For People To Cross Border Illegally For Asylum.
During a Sunday morning [9/26/2021] interview with far-left Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, Biden DHS Secretary Alejandro
Mayorkas said the Biden administration opposes the border wall because it's a "proud tradition" for the United States to let
people in illegally through the southern border. "Why did you allow them in the country in the first place? Why
didn't you build — forgive me — a wall? Or a fence, from stopping this flood of people from
coming across the dam. It looks like a highway when they cross the Rio Grande," Wallace asked. The response from
Mayorkas was simply mindblowing. "It is the policy of this administration that we do not agree with the building of the
wall. The law provides that individuals can make a claim for humanitarian relief, that is actually one of our proudest
traditions," he said.
Democrats'
Budget 'Plan B' Would Give Amnesty to at Least 7M Illegal Aliens. A plan being worked on by Senate Democrats
would slip amnesty for roughly seven million illegal aliens into a filibuster-proof budget reconciliation package, a new
analysis finds. This month, Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough rejected a plan by Democrats to include an
amnesty for millions of illegal aliens into a reconciliation package, which would only need majority support in the Senate.
Didn't
anyone see the 14,000 Haitians? Last week, we had dinner with Mexican friends who said two things about the
border crisis. First, they commented that Mexicans are sick and tired of foreigners walking through their
country. Second, our friends are not the only ones asking how the Haitians got to the US. After all, it is a "long
walk" to go from Guatemala to Del Rio, Texas. [...] How did this happen in a country where "federales" search bus stations
for Central Americans going north? To be fair, Mexicans enjoy a lot of freedom but illegal immigrants have always had a
hard time evading the authorities. Just talk to any Central American who's had to endure the interviews and
intimidation of Mexican authorities. Young women are especially scared to death of being seen at stores or bus
depots. One young woman from El Salvador told me that women avoid talking to give away their accents. So how did
14,000 black Haitians walk through Mexico? They don't speak Spanish and they sure look different. There aren't a
lot of black Mexicans. Who helped them? Well, someone did and my friends in Mexico fear that criminal elements
are behind it all. They charge to move people and probably pay off a few authorities on the walk north.
Does
Biden Believe That Laws Should Only Be Observed Selectively? Biden's lawlessness is particularly acute and
painful on our Southern border. Immediately after becoming president, old Joe halted Trump's border wall construction
and, more or less openly, invited illegals to swarm in. As part of this, he halted congressionally approved spending on
the wall. Some legal experts believe this broke the law. [...] Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who sued the Biden
administration, said, ["]President Biden's outright refusal to enforce the law is exacerbating an unprecedented border
crisis. By failing to take custody of criminal aliens and giving no explanation for this reckless policy change, the
Biden administration is demonstrating a blatant disregard for Texans' and Americans' safety.["]
Thousands
of mostly Haitian migrants traverse Panama on way to United States. Up to 4,000 migrants, most of them
Haitians, have passed through the treacherous jungles of the Darien Gap in Panama on the Colombian border as they make their
way north to the United States, two Panamanian government sources said. An impromptu camp arose in recent weeks on the
U.S.-Mexican border that included Haitians, adding to President Joe Biden's migration policy headaches. At its peak on
Sept. 18 there were some 15,000 people there as Haitians flee economic, political and social chaos in their homeland.
The Symptoms of Our
Insanity. In the fiscal year 2021-22, how could an anticipated two million illegal aliens simply swarm the
border, illegally cross it, continue to reside in the United States illegally, and do so in a time of a pandemic without
either a COVID-19 test or vaccination? Who has unilaterally decided that U.S. executive officials could forsake their
oaths to enforce existing laws, and simply decide to nullify American immigration law? Are we a neo-Confederacy in
which the nullification of federal law is now normal, whether at the border or in some 550 sanctuary jurisdictions?
Most of the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens have headed northward in response to the wink-and-nod open borders advocacy
of Joe Biden and his brag that he had stopped all construction of the supposedly impractical replacement and new sections of
the border wall — whose current cessation point doubled as the start-off point of the current mass influx.
Life
along the border collapses as Biden fiddles. Take all of the imagery you have seen of the over 14,000 Haitian
migrants camped under an international bridge in the small Texas border town of Del Rio and add the complications of disease,
public excrement, unbearable heat, and heightened frustrations. It has led to violence that has injured Border Patrol
officers. Now close your eyes and imagine it is 100 times worse. Because that's what it is, said Texas
Rep. Tony Gonzales, the freshman Republican who represents 42% of the border. The overwhelmed city of Del Rio had
been in a rapidly deteriorating crisis situation when illegal immigrants first began surging into the community in January,
but Gonzales now says the situation here is a "Category 5" and that the environment is unlike anything he has ever seen
before. "I arrived here today to pure chaos," he said. "I've never seen it in this environment. There
literally is no border left."
