Background, overview and recap articles: (Scroll down for timely news, or click here.) How many illegal aliens are present in the U.S. today? Yes, Mexico Knows Exactly What It Is Doing. The Mexican government has traditionally seen the U.S. as an endlessly wealthy country, liberally governed, and more or less willing to listen to Mexico's grievances of the sort that are common in asymmetrical partnerships. About 60 percent of the Mexican people traditionally in polls have voiced a positive view of the United States, yet a surprisingly low number when considering the millions who try to cross its border illegally each year. Nonetheless, Mexico for decades has conveniently explained the vast influxes across the border, unaudited and illegal, as largely in America's interests — and mirabile dictu even to Mexico's disadvantage. Polls tell, however, a vastly different and far more accurate story. Logically, some 61 percent of Mexicans in a recent 2024 Pew Center Research Poll voiced favorable views of the United States, whose open borders, generous welfare systems, billions of dollars in remittances, and now-defunct immigration laws they see as entirely in their interest. America Tried Third-World Immigration In The 1980s And The Results Were Horrifying. The American Founding Fathers built our nation on a core premise that has been long forgotten and this memory lapse is causing endless grief for current generations. What premise? That the rest of the world is not the responsibility of the US. We don't owe the world anything, we don't need to be involved in foreign wars, we are not beholden to foreign interests and we are not obligated to foreign peoples. America is not a "melting pot." It never has been a melting pot. This phrase is used by leftists and open borders activists to suggest that there is no American culture; that we are nothing more than an economic buffet for far flung tribes to feast upon. America is its own very separate and very distinct culture with comprehensive tradition, principles and ideals. If foreigners want to come here they have to play by our rules, learn our language, assimilate into our culture and respect our heritage or they can go back to whatever cesspool country they are running away from. It's that simple. 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:
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. [...] Immigration
to America Is Not What It Used to Be. 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. Democrats 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. 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:
San Diego county officials spend another $2 million so migrants can afford to travel during busy holiday season. According to a new article from Emily Alvarenga at The San Diego Union-Tribune, San Diego county officials just approved doling out another $2 million to local entities, to assist illegal invaders with the high cost of travel that's typical during the holidays: ["]Anticipating higher numbers of newly-arrived migrants than usual through the holidays, county supervisors agreed Tuesday to give $2 million in state migrant-support grants to help local aid groups fund higher travel costs.["] How else can these people get where they need to go without taking taxpayer funds to subsidize their financial whims and desires? Have you ever received a taxpayer-funded handout to offset the cost of your hotel room? Has the government ever bought your plane ticket so you could get where you wanted to go? Yeah, me neither. Are the Years of Madness Ending? The Biden-era cultural revolution has done great damage to the United States. The U.S. border was systematically and deliberately destroyed to allow some 10-12 million illegal entrants to pour into the U.S. without legality or background checks. Never has an outgoing administration spitefully sold taxpayer-purchased border wall material for pennies on the dollar — rather than see it used for the purposes for which it was purchased. Never had the U.S. experienced such an immigrant surge. And never had more than 50 million, and over 15 percent of the resident American population been foreign-born. Why did Biden and Alejandro Mayorkas erase the border? What madness and hate drove them to dismantle federal immigration law? Was it sheer nihilism? Or a desperate but calculated effort to alter American demography for political purposes? Trump Can End Universal Birthright Citizenship. The Constitution Never Required It. President-elect Donald Trump has once again promised to "end birthright citizenship" for the U.S.-born children of illegal and nonimmigrant aliens. [...] It's certainly true that today, the mistaken majority view of the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause is that it grants what essentially amounts to universal birthright citizenship — in other words, that virtually all children born within the geographical boundaries of the United States are citizens, irrespective of their parents' immigration status. It's also true that the federal government has been abiding by a policy of treating the U.S.-born children of illegal and nonimmigrant aliens as citizens, even though it is not required and is a change from the way the 14th Amendment was applied after it was ratified in July 1868. Properly understood from an originalist perspective, however, nothing in the Citizenship Clause actually requires this practice. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Supporters of birthright citizenship ignore the second, critical condition in the amendment of being "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. Trump Targets Birthright Citizenship, Tripping Immigration's Third Rail. [Scroll down] The relevant clause in Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, adopted on July 9, 1868, states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." [...] The 14th Amendment has been generously applied to anyone who sets foot on American soil, even briefly, regardless of their citizenship. Consider an immigrant mother-to-be who enters the United States illegally, escapes Border Patrol scrutiny, or is admitted into the country awaiting an asylum hearing and delivers her child within the confines of the United States. Should this child become a United States citizen? Proponents of birthright citizenship say yes. But opponents point to the qualifier "And subject to the jurisdiction thereof." The mother, being a migrant, is clearly not under American jurisdiction. Even under the definition by the most liberal voices, the mother is "undocumented" in the United States, and her jurisdiction belongs to the country from which she arrived. The child, dependent upon the mother, by extension, is also not under American jurisdiction. Being born here alone doesn't grant the child that jurisdiction. The question is fraught with various complex scenarios. What happens to someone working in a specialty occupation in America on a non-immigrant visa? The person pays United States income taxes and pays into the Social Security Trust fund. Still, until the person becomes a naturalized citizen, she is legally not entitled to Social Security benefits. Is this person under American jurisdiction? Should her child born in America get birthright citizenship? The time to settle this was at least 40 years ago. The Constitution Does Not Grant Birthright Citizenship to the Children of Illegal Immigrants. Based on a faulty interpretation of the 14th Amendment, the federal government is awarding citizenship to the children of nearly everyone who gives birth in the United States. As a result, the children are entitled to receive welfare, vote when they become older, and obtain other benefits of U.S. citizenship. This includes the children of illegal immigrants, temporary residents, and even foreigners who vacation in the U.S. The legislative history of the 14th Amendment reveals that the birthright citizenship clause was enacted primarily to protect the civil rights of African Americans. Contrary to shallow claims from the media and certain scholars, it doesn't grant citizenship to the children of anyone who is not legally and permanently living in the United States. As Trump plans mass deportation, Mexican views of migration harden. Marta Castillo is angry about immigration. There are too many migrants in her town, she said, and they don't speak the language. "We've been invaded," she said, standing outside a restaurant where she works. "I changed my opinion (about them), because I live in a place where we didn't see any of this. But now everywhere there are people who aren't from here." Castillo is Mexican. She lives in Mexico. Like a growing number of her fellow citizens, she has become increasingly negative about the migrants who have poured into her community — despite living in a country where millions of people have ties to someone who migrated to the United States. California threatens police; what else is new? As Trump's incoming Border Czar Tom Homan has made clear, federal law, specifically 8 USC 1324, makes interference with federal officers or harboring illegal aliens felony offenses the Trump Administration will prosecute. As Homan has also made clear, he intends to first focus on criminals and gang members. That puts people like Newsom, Denver's Mayor and other D/s/c mayors and governors swearing not only to resist deportation efforts, but swearing to use public money to defend illegals, in the position of not only violating federal law, but doing it to keep vicious criminals in their cities and states. Circa 2024, that might be a political problem. Wasting public money on D/s/c priorities people don't want and coddling criminals are standard operating procedure for such people, but this time it appears there will be consequences for dim-witted virtue signaling. When a few of them are dragged from their offices to jail, they might begin to see virtue in cooperation and actual public safety. 1.4 Million Illegals With Deportation Orders; NYT Admits Biden Invited Invasion of "Migrants". The Biden administration has failed to deport almost 1.5 million illegals with deportation orders, which is hardly shocking news given the mass invasion of penniless, Third Word illegals that Biden not only invited but unlawfully aided and abetted. And, amusingly enough, the same day Fox News' Bill Melugin posted a breakdown of that number on X, The New York Times finally confessed that the administration has permitted an invasion of illegals. "Recent Immigration Surge Has Been Largest in U.S. History," the Times told readers. "Under President Biden, more than two million immigrants per year have entered, government data shows." Now they tell us! The latest on the result of Biden's unlawful policies comes as more and more deep-blue cities are apparently conspiring to incite insurrection and rebellion to stop President-elect Donald Trump from carrying out his planned mass deportation. What Hath Biden Wrought. In his first three years in office, President Joe Biden oversaw the most consequential demographic transformation of the United States since before the Civil War, according to a Wednesday report in The New York Times. From 2021 to 2023, more than 2 million people entered the country every year, the largest number in U.S. history both in raw terms and measured as a percentage of the population. Around 60% of those have come illegally. [Chart] The Times did not analyze numbers from 2024, which are not yet available in final form. Still, the paper conservatively estimates that more than 8 million people will have entered the United States by the end of Biden's term in office. At the end of 2023, the share of the U.S. population born in another country sat at 15.2%, the highest in U.S. history, up from the previous record of 14.8% in 1890, more than 130 years ago: [Another chart] Diversity != Strength. The ritual cliche invoked by the social justice left is that "diversity is strength." But as the Irish mother in the video notes, importing waves of unassimilated foreigners into local communities doesn't strengthen them at all. [Video clip] [...] Immigrants should come to a country to assimilate with it, not to colonize it. As in the US, EU elite have decreed that ordinary citizens of various European countries that the Brussels elite will never interact with must bear the burden of unassimilated immigration due to elite desire for cheap labor and the need to change the composition of the electorate they claim to operate on behalf of. Stand up or be washed away. 180 Dead: Haitian Warlord Orders Massacre Of Elderly For Using 'Sorcery' To Sicken Son. Yet another gruesome gang horror has played out in Haiti, as at least 184 people — most of them elderly — were variously slashed, hacked or shot to death on the orders of a warlord who'd been advised that aging slum residents had used sorcery to give his son a severe illness. Interim Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé called it "a barbaric act of unbearable cruelty." The brutality was reportedly ordered by Monel "Mikano" Felix, who leads the Wharf Jeremie gang. The carnage took place on Friday and Saturday in the densely-populated seaside slum of Cité Soleil, a neighborhood in the capital city of Port-au-Prince which The Guardian has called Haiti's "most notorious slum... Much of the slum is an open sewer... infant children bathe in water contaminated with sewage. The stench is unbearable." According to a human rights group, Felix's son had contracted a serious illness, and he sought the counsel of a Voodoo priest, or "bòkò," who advised the murderous warlord that elderly people in the gang's area of operations were harming his son through the use of witchcraft. The Editor says... In San Diego, county sheriff vows to defy supervisors' resolution making the city a 'super sanctuary'. [Scroll down] And it was a strange move, too, given that San Diego is a border city and being bankrupted by the mass influx of illegals, coming by land and even by sea in greater numbers than any other part of the country. Some 324,000 illegal border crossers have flowed into San Diego in fiscal 2024 alone. In the past election, every other border city reacted strongly against open borders policies through their voting choice, but San Diego, which until a few days ago was still counting votes in a highly suspect process, somehow did not. The three leftists on the Board of Supervisors, a majority of four, voted to make it even easier to come here and commit criminal acts, ending the risk of deportation for criminals. Ostensibly, it was part of Gov. Gavin Newsom's plan to "Trump-proof" California. But California already has bad laws that protect illegals within the sanctuary state. This resolution went several steps further to protect criminals who've been caught commiting murder, child rape and cartel hits from deportation — a decision that made absolutely no sense, unless of course, one has some kind of stake in the illegal immigration rackets. The NGO-industrial complex reportedly does, having reportedly advocated for the resolution. Meatpackers: Trump Deportations Mean Cheaper Chickens and Higher Wages. President Donald Trump's mass repatriation of illegal migrants could lower the price of chicken dinners and also raise family wages, according to AviNews.com, a poultry industry news site. "The poultry industry heavily relies on immigrant labor. Many of these workers are undocumented, and their roles are crucial in processing plants and farms, the article noted on December 11, adding: ["]The loss of this labor force could force companies to increase wages to attract [American] domestic workers.["] Moreover, the return of many illegal migrants to their home countries would also reduce consumer consumption of chicken products, the site noted: ["]Immigrants are not only a vital part of the workforce but also a significant portion of the consumer base. A reduction in the immigrant population due to deportations would decrease the number of consumers purchasing poultry products. [..."] Josh Hawley: Democrat Plan Is Amnesty for 13M Illegals to Flood Workforce. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) said Democrats are hoping to give amnesty to some 13 million illegal aliens to flood the United States workforce with low-wage foreign workers with whom working and middle class Americans must compete for jobs. During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing this week, Hawley blasted a Democrat witness for his pro-amnesty position despite the majority of Americans supporting deportations. "Why would you want American citizens and those who are here lawfully to have to compete against illegal immigrants?" Hawley asked the witness. The Biden Legacy: Record 3.5 Million Immigrants Awarded U.S. Citizenship. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have set new records on illegal immigration and legal immigration in fewer than four years. Analysis from the Migration Policy Institute reveals that from Fiscal Year 2021 through Fiscal Year 2024, the Biden administration awarded naturalized American citizenship to almost 3.5 million legal immigrants. This is "by far the most of any single presidential term," MPI reports. For perspective, the number of legal immigrants who secured naturalized American citizenship under Biden eclipses those who got citizenship under former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush, combined. DHS Chief Alejandro Mayorkas Announces Jobs Giveaway — for Migrants. In the final weeks of President Joe Biden's administration, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is announcing a jobs giveaway for newly arrived migrants with work permits. On Tuesday, Mayorkas announced a final rule from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that will allow millions of migrants, many of whom have been released into the U.S. interior by the Biden administration, to keep their work permits for up to 540 days when they seek a renewal. [Advertisement] Migrants previously could renew their work permits for 180 days. For years, Democratic mayors had lobbied DHS to extend such automatic employment authorization for migrants. The rule will go into effect on Jan. 13, 2025. [Advertisement] Mayorkas said in a statement the move is meant to help "businesses fill" American jobs with more migrants: [The first advertisement again] [Quote from Mayorkas] [Yet another advertisement, etc.] What Next for the Democrats? Donald Trump won the popular vote by millions plus a strong electoral college majority by several dozen. He turned the Senate and kept the House. How was this done? Several reasons include declining general economic prospects, family economic despair from inflation with additional pressures from a lower standard of living, and criminal violence on streets. Unchecked illegal immigration displaces American citizens from workplaces, causing stagnant and even declining real wages. It crowds out citizens for housing, food assistance, and medical care. Illegal aliens include terrorists and violent and nonviolent common criminals. Trump To End 'Birthright Citizenship' on Day One. In an interview on "Meet the Press," President-elect Donald Trump outlined his plan for immigration policy, emphasizing deportation for those in the United States illegally. Trump expressed a commitment to removing illegal immigrants, starting with those who have committed crimes and expanding to others without specifying which crimes would be prioritized. This approach may also involve U.S. citizens choosing to leave with family members who are undocumented. Trump's stance reiterates a key aspect of his campaign platform. He also suggested terminating birthright citizenship via executive action, forecasting potential legal opposition. Wailing and Gnashing at the DNC. Biden's first move as president was to open the border to anyone who might wander, wade, swim, float, or fly in. Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer said that illegal aliens are needed in the workforce because there aren't enough workers to fill jobs. Later, Joe Biden said that artificial intelligence would displace American workers and cause unemployment. Democrats were talking out of both sides of their mouths. Might the truth be that they were importing future Democrat voters and low-cost labor at the expense of the working class? Mass Immigration and Socialist Sanctuaries. The mass migrations being experienced by the United States have been and still are being employed by the Biden/Harris administration as a tool to change America into a socialist entity, an effort that entails eliminating or severely curtailing the Jewish and Christian foundations of the West. How is the socialist vision to be achieved in America? It is to be achieved by open borders and the consequent influx of masses of immigrants and aliens from all over the globe. Class warfare, a necessary ingredient of the socialist vision, is instantly achieved by mass immigration. The divisions are more easily accomplished because most of the peoples illegally entering the country have mindsets and behaviors not informed or molded by our Republic's constitutional and religious foundations. The vision requires redistribution of the wealth of the capitalist middle class. The Ninth Circuit rules that, yes, the federal government can deport people. Beginning in 2012, ICE began to use Boeing Field to deport illegal aliens. To this end, ICE leased charter services for planes and personnel. However, in 2018, King County officials took umbrage at this practice. So, in 2019, they issued an executive order mandating that when the airport entered into leases with fixed base operations (FBOs) — that is, private businesses providing essential services such as fueling and stairs — those leases prohibit the FBOs from servicing ICE charter flights. The County's explicit purpose was to block the federal government's ability to deport illegal aliens, and the plan worked. [...] Having dealt with some silly procedural issues that King County raised and addressed questions about whether the U.S. had retained rights in Boeing Field (it had), the Court got to the serious substantive issue. That was whether a local government could indirectly block the federal government's ability to act within its sphere of power — a sphere that entirely encompasses immigration enforcement. The Ninth Circuit concluded that local governments cannot do that. Seattle
Is Ordered to Stop Blocking Illegal Alien Deportations in the Most Hilarious Court Decision
Ever. A three-judge panel from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals court ruled that King
County, Wash., can't stop Trump's deportation of the Democrats' illegal alien voters. The
conflict began in 2018 when King County (Seattle) czar Dow Constantine raised his emerald bejeweled
scepter and declared that forthwith, the federal Immigration and Customs Service (ICE) shall no
longer use Boeing Field, now officially called King County International Airport, to remove illegal
Ninth Circuit Says President Trump May Deport Whatever Illegals He So Chooses. And it's all perfectly constitutional, as we all long suspected, whatever fantasies to the contrary progressives have. Those fantasies are how the issue wound up in court to begin with, thanks to a Seattle-based King County executive who, in 2019, prohibited operators working the county airport from servicing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) flights. How Much Does It Cost To Restore America? We know that it costs somewhere around $400 billion to keep the criminal aliens in the country. They need housing, food, clothing, transportation (usually flights for which they don't have to go through TSA or buy a ticket). They don't assimilate, they live largely in compartmentalized zones or areas where they can speak their native tongues and engage in commerce without exposing their criminal status or being emboldened in it. They send most of their largesse at the pain of the taxpayer to their native land to pay for others to come and reap the same rewards. And yes, I did call them criminal aliens. As they have so long protested that no one is "illegal," they're right, they're criminal. They have already committed a crime to get into the U.S. and many of them committed another crime to vote in the election, because that's what Biden's caravan organizers told them to do. They are likely to be driving unregistered, uninsured vehicles, because why do that if there is no penalty to be suffered? [Indeed], they're allowed to kill and rape American citizens without having to post bail before they're again walking the streets to find new victims. Birthright Citizenship: The 14th Amendment Does Not Apply to Illegal Aliens. America is about to go to war over whether the government has the power to deport entire families of illegal aliens. That question involves "birthright citizenship" — that is, whether a child born in the U.S. to illegal alien parents is automatically a U.S. citizen and, thus, an "anchor baby?" The answer, by any fair reading of the Constitution and history, is "No." Our nation must have complete control of our borders. No illegal alien should be able to circumvent the laws of our nation. English common law, the basis for U.S. law, did not allow such people, the children of "hostile occupiers," to become citizens by virtue of birth. Moreover, the 14th Amendment, which was passed to cure the ill of slavery, establishes a two-part test for citizenship that seemingly codifies English common law and is clearly meant to apply to those who came here against their will and their descendants, not to criminal invaders. The Times, They Are A-Changin', and Mexico Gets It, Breaking Up Two Illegal Immigrant Caravans. President-elect Donald Trump (still enjoying that) hasn't even taken office yet, but the impact of his election victory is already making itself felt across the land — and south of the border. In the latest example of this, the Mexican government has reportedly broken up two small illegal immigrant caravans headed for the United States. [...] There would appear to be a catch: Some of the illegal immigrants were offered "transit papers," which presumably allowed them to continue. So not a complete fix; not yet. But it's a step. ICE: Nearly 180,000 Noncitizens Deliberately Not Detained, Roaming Free in US Cities. In the second and third quarters of fiscal 2024, U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement agents removed nearly 68,000 illegal border crossers, ICE says. ICE claims the number "reflects a 69% increase over removals during the third quarter in fiscal year 2023, and is more than 140% of ICE removals for all fiscal year 2023." According to the latest data published by ICE, 179,937 illegal foreign nationals, who under current federal law are inadmissible and required to be removed, weren't detained but were living freely in the U.S. through ICE's "Alternatives to Detention" (ATD) program, as of June 2024. Sanctuary city Denver spending a whopping $356 million on migrants: study. As Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston says he would be willing to go to jail over his opposition to the Trump mass-deportation plan, a new study claims the mayor's Blue city has spent a whopping $356 million of taxpayers' hard-earned money on migrants. The eye-popping sum, which amounts to $7,900 per foreign national in the city, was revealed by an updated analysis last week by the Common Sense Institut (CSI), a non-partisan research organization dedicated to protecting and promoting the U.S. economy. The group says it used city data to land on the stunning sum, which equates to 8% of the city's 2025 budget of $4.4 billion. The figures combine the city's budget as well as regional education and healthcare organizations. Here's How to Deport More Than 10 Million People. Under President Joe Biden's failed leadership, the United States has been in the throes of a four-year-long illegal immigrant crisis, during which an estimated more than 10 million people have entered the country. With immigration among the top issues in the 2024 campaign cycle, the American people are sending President-elect Donald Trump, who campaigned on a platform of mass deportations, back to Washington. The question now becomes how does the government actually go forward with deporting more than 10 million people, many of whom are deep in the interior of the country. I sat down with Lora Ries, director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, to discuss what a second Trump administration's immigration agenda could look like on this week's episode of "The Signal Sitdown." Tariffs Work? Mexico President Pledges to Stop Migrant Caravans. Perhaps tariffs don't work as an economic policy. They do have an effect in terms of foreign policy, however, and Donald Trump has succeeded in generating resets with both of our neighbors ahead to taking office. Canada's Justin Trudeau has already signaled a willingness to renegotiate security concerns, and Mexico's president followed suit yesterday. The amount of negotiation may be under dispute, but not the direction in which talks have already gone. Why Deportation is Necessary. [Scroll down] Americans are beginning to realize our immigration policy sorely needs major corrections. In 1995, the Chairwoman of the Commission on Immigration Reform, Barbara Jordan, herself a civil rights icon, told Congress "Deportation is crucial. Credibility in immigration policy can be summarized in one sentence: those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave... For the system to be credible, people have to be deported at the end of the process." She's right. There is no way to fix Kamala's "broken immigration system", (her words), that doesn't involve deportation to undo the damage done. Here's where we are. The low hanging fruit is the 1.3 million aliens who have been given their due process and are legally qualified for deportation. They are part of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) "non-detain docket" of 7 million aliens, including criminals, who have not yet been processed but otherwise are eligible for deportation. California Allegedly Threatens Police Officers Over Deportation Compliance. Bill Wells, the mayor of El Cajon, California, claimed in a Monday post on X that the State of California "is threatening to take pensions and charge police officers with felonies if they comply with federal deportation laws. While the Trump administration is working to enforce immigration laws, California seems intent on blocking these efforts." Wells makes it clear that El Cajon, a city of approximately 100,000 people located 17 miles east of San Diego, is not a sanctuary city and that his police officers "are being put in an impossible position." [...] If these disturbing claims are true, then the battle lines are already drawn for the first major showdown between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and sanctuary state/city leaders. Defiance of this magnitude from the government of the largest sanctuary state in the country would have sweeping implications for President-elect Donald Trump's planned mass deportation agenda. Trump says Mexico's president has 'agreed to stop' migrants crossing into US through her country. President-elect Donald Trump said Wednesday that he has received assurances from Mexico's new president that she will "stop migration" though her country and into the US — before she later clarified her stance. "Just had a wonderful conversation with the new President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "She has agreed to stop Migration through Mexico, and into the United States, effectively closing our Southern Border," he added. The Trump presidency has begun. Tariffs work. AJ Huber tweeted with a video, "Mexican president Claudia Sheinbaum just announced that she is stopping the migrant caravans from arriving at the U.S. southern border after President Trump's tariff threat. Nothing can stop what's coming! Only DJT can change the world even before the inauguration!" She said, "I have the vision that there will be an agreement with the U.S." And the experts said tariffs don't work and would ruin our economy. No thank you. I trust randos on Twitter. They get fact-checked by truly independent fact-checkers — Twitter users. Oh, Sheinbaum also threatened retaliatory tariffs. Big deal. [...] Her cry for retaliation is bravado to save a little face. Did You Know Mexico Has Been Deporting Americans For A While Now? As Mexico and liberals complain about Trump's mass deportation plans, Mexico has been deporting Americans for a while now. Mexico claims Americans come with US dollars and spend a lot, causing inflation to the point locals can't afford things anymore. [Video clip] The Horrors Wrought By Biden's Border. [Scroll down] What all that means is that the Biden-Harris administration has been using taxpayer dollars and has been providing the worst evil known to civilized society: open access to the most vulnerable in our midst — the unaccompanied (and unprotected) children who are crossing our borders. These stories have not gone entirely unnoticed, however. Olivia Murray wrote an essay entitled, "Biden-Harris HHS secretary testifies about missing illegal migrant children, and his admissions will sicken you." These are two sides of the same coin because not only has the current corrupt and criminally negligent administration encouraged the world's most impoverished and most vulnerable to make the life-threatening journey to our borders. However, once they arrive, these children have little chance of "the better life" that open-border advocates preach about as the main motivation for coming to America in the first place. Thankfully, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra's testimony before the House Committee is being covered in conservative media. The Trump Effect: Haitian Migrants Self-Deport from Springfield, Ohio. Haitian migrants are reportedly self-deporting from Springfield, Ohio, and fleeing to sanctuary jurisdictions such as Chicago, Illinois, and New York City, New York. Springfield, a city of 50,000 that lies between Columbus and Dayton, garnered national attention months ago when President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance noted that the community had been inundated with thousands of Haitian migrants as a result of President Joe Biden's immigration policies. The Editor says... The Immorality of Illegal Immigration. Donald Trump will not be president for almost another two months. Yet Democrat politicians, both federal and local, vie to be the most strident in denouncing his plans to begin deporting millions of foreign nationals who, over the last four years, have entered the U.S. illegally. Trump pledges to focus initially only on the 400,000 to 500,000 current felons and some 1.4 million additional aliens who have ignored legal summons for their deportation. Weekly we read of thousands of illegal immigrants arriving from areas controlled by violent Mexican cartel gangs or failed, strife-torn South American countries that have emptied their jails to send their felons northwards. Hundreds of thousands of them have been committing violent crimes while demanding still more free housing and support from strapped American taxpayers. Why Reviving Trump's 'Remain In Mexico' Policy Will Swiftly Reduce Border Chaos. In July 2019, I crossed the international bridge from El Paso into the sprawling Mexican border city of Juárez to gauge the effects of President Donald Trump's so-called "Remain in Mexico" policy. On that blazing hot summer day, as 20,000 of an eventual 75,000 had just been expelled under the policy, I made my way by taxi to a shelter high up on a rise in the dangerous neighborhood of Anapra. The shelter is within eyesight of Mexico's side of the American wall and El Paso beyond. I was soon interviewing recent expellee Veronica Janeth Tejeda of Yoro in northwestern Honduras as she played with one of her two expelled children in an outdoor yard between small residential buildings. Veronica and many other immigrants expelled under Trump's Remain in Mexico policy back then almost perfectly illustrate the policy's power to end the greatest border crisis in U.S. history. Their 2019 testimonials matter greatly now that Trump is about to give the controversial policy a comeback that foretells swift operational control of the U.S. southern border. Jim Jordan Warns Garland and Mayorkas to 'PRESERVE YOUR RECORDS' Amid Concerns DOJ and DHS Are Purging Docs. House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) sent letters to Attorney General Merrick Garland and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas Friday, warning them to preserve all of their records as the committee continues its investigations into the Biden regime's mishandling of the border. "This letter serves as a formal request to preserve all existing and future records and materials related to the Biden-Harris Administration's enforcement of federal immigration law," Jordan wrote in each of the letters. Biden, Mayorkas race to ensure more migrant damage after they leave. President Biden and Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas seem to think their border policies haven't done enough damage to the country, so they're racing to ensure even more harm after they leave. With just two months to go before Team Trump takes over, the Biden crew is getting set to roll out an ICE app — starting in New York in December — that'll let illegal migrants skip periodic, in-person check-ins that are required while they wait for court dates that could be years off. Right now, those who miss in-person check-ins are subject to deportation. But those who "check in" by app won't be, making it harder to deport (or even find) them. Texas Offers 1,400 Acres to Trump Admin for Criminal Migrant Detention/Deportation Center. Texas General Land Office (GLO) Commissioner Dawn Buckingham offered to lease the incoming Trump administration a 1,400-acre tract of land near the state's border with Mexico. The land would be used to build a facility for the processing, detention, and deportation of violent criminal migrants. As first reported by Fox News' Adam Shaw, Commissioner Buckingham sent a letter to President-elect Donald J. Trump offering to provide a tract of land in Starr County, Texas. In the letter, Buckingham said her office is "fully prepared to enter into an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or the United States Border Patrol to allow a facility to be built for the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation's history," the letter states. The Haitians are Fleeing Ohio! Following the recent presidential election, Springfield, Ohio, has seen a noticeable departure of Haitian migrants, who fear potential policy changes under President-elect Donald J. Trump's incoming administration. The town, with a population just shy of 60,000 according to the 2020 census, experienced significant growth over recent years as between 15,000 and 20,000 Haitian migrants moved in under the Biden-Harris government, straining local resources and services. Many migrants arrived with temporary protected status (TPS), which allowed them to live and work legally in the United States. However, President-elect Trump indicated plans to revoke such permits, raising concerns among migrants about mass deportations. Some have already relocated to other areas within the U.S., such as New Jersey, Boston, and nearby Dayton, while others are considering returning to former host countries like Brazil. Deport this illegal alien — now. U.S. immigration laws should be applied as fairly as possible. That includes deporting illegal aliens, and Prince Harry may be one if he lied (which seems feasible given the revelations in his book Spare) about his drug use on his visa application. The disgraced duke is married to a conniving and manipulative U.S. citizen, who, as a tacit supporter of Kamala, irresponsibly spouts accusations about racism and sexism when things don't go her way. Despite their unholy matrimony, Harry can still be deported. A Heritage Foundation lawsuit to make Harry's visa documents public could eventuate his deportation. However, a judge ruled that the documents should be kept private, saying "the public does not have a strong interest in disclosure of the Duke's immigration records." Um, tell that to the multitudes of otherwise "legal" immigrants who have settled here, and their disrupted families, who have been deported because of their past drug offenses. Georgia Governor Reacts To Court Claim That NYC Flew Laken Riley Killer To Georgia. Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp's office blasted apparent revelations that Laken Riley's killer was flown into the state before her murder, and confirmed they are working to get more answers. The roommate of Jose Ibarra testified in court that she and Ibarra arrived in Georgia by way of a humanitarian flight from New York City in 2023. Ibarra on Wednesday was ultimately found guilty of murdering Riley, a Georgia nursing student at the time, and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Lefty Georgia DA in Laken Riley case faces outrage after killer migrant avoids death penalty. The progressive Georgia district attorney who was prosecuting nursing student Laken Riley's illegal immigrant killer refused to seek the death penalty even after removing herself from the case — drawing outrage when the defendant was sentenced to life without parole. Athens-Clarke District Attorney Deborah Gonzalez, who appointed a special prosecutor to take over the prosecution of Jose Ibarra at the end of February amid criticism over her own prosecutorial record, laid out her soft-on-crime reforms when she assumed office in January 2021. Gonzalez said her office would "no longer seek the death penalty" and when considering charging defendants, she would "take into account collateral consequences to undocumented defendants," according to a copy of the district attorney's policies shared by Georgia state Rep. Houston Gaines (R-Barrow). Biden admin quietly loosening immigration policies before Trump takes office — including letting migrants skip ICE check-ins in NYC. The Biden administration is quietly rushing to implement new policies that will loosen restrictions on migrants who entered the US illegally — a parting attempt to thwart President-elect Donald Trump's immigration crackdowns and mass deportations, sources tell The [New York] Post. And the Big Apple will be ground zero for these changes. The outgoing administration intends to launch an ICE Portal app starting in early December in New York City that will allow migrants to bypass in-person check-ins to their local ICE office. Philadelphia school is so overcrowded by immigrant crisis that some students must eat lunch at 9am. Students at a Philadelphia school are eating lunch at 9 am because the district is so crowded with immigrants that canteen dining slots have been staggered throughout the day. Youngsters at Lincoln High School also lug their backpacks around all day, because there are not enough lockers to go around in a school that this now 1,000 kids above capacity. Officials have added makeshift divisions to increase the number of available classrooms, but teachers say the new walls are too thin to stop noise and have fallen down during lessons. Trump confirms plans to use military to deport migrants after declaring national emergency. President-elect Donald Trump confirmed Monday he would declare a "national emergency" to deport illegal migrants using "military assets" once he steps back into office early next year. Trump made the statement on Truth Social, responding "TRUE!!!" to a post from Judicial Watch chief Tom Fitton expressing hope that the president-elect would do so. "GOOD NEWS: Reports are the incoming @RealDonaldTrump administration prepared to declare a national emergency and will use military assets to reverse the Biden invasion through a mass deportation program," Fitton wrote on the social media platform. Poll Proves America Is Unified in Favor of Mass Deportations. In our 50/50 country, a stunning 64 percent of Americans approve of Donald Trump's plan for mass deportations of illegal aliens. Only 33 percent disapprove. Rasmussen, who was once again one of the most accurate pollsters of the presidential election, polled 1,276 likely U.S voters over three days after the election was called for former President and now President-elect Trump. [Advertisement] When asked how important it is to stop illegal immigration, 76 percent of those surveyed said "very" (50 percent) or "somewhat" (26 percent) important. Only 22 percent said it was not important. [Advertisement] The internals are amazing. 78 percent of white voters, 74 percent of black voters, and 70 percent of Hispanics all agree it is important to stop illegal immigration. This includes 61 percent of Democrats, 90 percent of Republicans, and 80 percent of Independents. Democrat Governors, City Leaders Pledge to Shield Illegal Aliens From Trump. Democratic governors and other liberal elected officials have lined up to declare that they will fight back against President-elect Donald Trump's hard-line agenda against illegal immigration. Trump, who won the Nov. 5 election, has promised to conduct mass deportations across the country and withhold federal funding from sanctuary cities, along with a slate of other hawkish enforcement proposals. However, Democratic governors in Massachusetts, California, and Illinois — all seen as potential 2028 presidential contenders — and other elected leaders have said they will use their authority to push back against the upcoming second Trump administration's agenda. Question for Trump to solve: Just how many million migrants did Joe let in? 8 million? 12? 15? President-elect Donald Trump has promised to crack down on the southern border and deport those here illegally. But the million-dollar question left by the Biden administration: Just how many people is that? A recent House Judiciary report says that "For almost four years, Americans have watched as President Joe Biden and border czar Vice President Kamala Harris have abandoned the southwest border and welcomed nearly 8 million illegal aliens into the United States." But that 8 million is likely an undercount — and perhaps by a lot. The House Committee on Homeland Security estimated in the spring that there would have been 10 million encounters during Biden's four-year term. And that doesn't include "got-aways" — people who crossed illegally without ever talking to a Border Patrol agent. Expediting Deportation, Using Carrots and Sticks. How do you deport the roughly twenty million individuals living illegally in the United States? [...] First, offer them an option. Go home on your own, and you will be eligible to apply for legal residency, along with anyone else who wants to come to America and who hadn't broken our laws to get here. To qualify, all they have to do is leave — and on the way out, file documentation indicating that they had been illegal residents, but were now exercising their option to go to the end of the line and eventually be legally admitted to America. That's the carrot — and even though it might take ten years to gain entry, it will be legal, and with a path to eventual citizenship, the one open to everyone who plays by the rules. What about the stick? Tell this same population that if the government has to take actions to deport them, they will have to wait for more than the current ten years before even getting to the end of the line for legal immigration, lengthening the time before they can return to America, but this time as legal immigrants. Since anybody here illegally has at least the chance of running into legal problems and then forcibly deported, many will leave voluntarily. The Editor says... Federal Court Rejects Biden's 'Parole in Place' for Illegal Aliens. Two days after the election, a federal court in Texas ruled against President Joe Biden's latest unauthorized scheme to subvert immigration law: "parole in place" for illegal aliens who are the spouses of U.S. citizens. In a 73-page decision, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas upheld a challenge by 16 states to the Department of Homeland Security's attempt to create the parole program by administrative rule. Introduced by Biden back in June, "parole in place" for spouses was built on a legal house of cards, as my BorderLine column explained at the time. In promulgating the order, Biden's government created another administrative runaround to dodge the lawful visa process. Trump Picks a New Border Czar, and the Left Can't Cope. After nearly four years of Kamala Harris's failures as border czar, Donald Trump has revealed who will take over the role once he takes office, and the left is already in an uproar. "I am pleased to announce that the Former ICE Director, and stalwart on Border Control, Tom Homan, will be joining the Trump Administration, in charge of our Nation's Borders ('The Border Czar'), including, but not limited to, the Southern Border, the Northern Border, all Maritime, and Aviation Security," Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. "I've known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders. Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin. Congratulations to Tom. I have no doubt he will do a fantastic, and long awaited for, job." The case for mass deportations. President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to "launch the largest deportation of criminals in American history." That is a quote from a Nov. 2 rally in Salem, Virginia, but Trump has said precisely the same thing dozens of times. Still, through the course of a long campaign, with his improvisational style, Trump has occasionally worded his pledge differently. For example, at his Madison Square Garden rally, Trump said, "On day one, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out." At an Oct. 25 event in Austin, Texas, Trump said he "will launch the largest deportation program in American history" before adding, "We have no choice. We have got to get all of these criminals, these murderers, and drug dealers, and everything, we're getting them out." Back on May 24, at his rally in the South Bronx, Trump pledged to "immediately begin the largest criminal deportation operation in our country's history." So, variations in wording aside, when Trump talks about mass deportation, he is talking about the mass deportation of criminals. It's hard to imagine opposing Trump's proposal. Who would want to help murderers and drug dealers who entered the country illegally remain in the United States? The Editor says... Democrats Are In Deep Trouble. Opening the borders and admitting millions of illegal immigrants has been the core policy priority of the Biden administration, as reflected in Biden's day-one executive orders. But it was a policy prescription that Democrats were never able to openly articulate and defend. Thus, as the 2024 election approached they were reduced to making the absurd claim that "the Southern border is secure." Open borders are deeply and correctly unpopular, and do not provide a platform on which any future Democrat can run, although no doubt we will see plenty of tearjerking stories about illegals who are being deported. Sanctuary State CT Certifies Hundreds of Sham Immigrant Marriages. It's one thing for CT government officials to make a mess of their own state, but another to wreck our country by operating a sham marriage mill for immigrants. One recent day, for instance, [Wanda] Geter-Pataky conducted seven such marriages in New Haven City Hall. All seven involved an Indian-born spouse and an American-born spouse. None came from New Haven, according to their marriage licenses. They claimed they live in Houston, Waterbury, Queens, the Bronx, Long Island, Chesapeake, Virginia. The nuptial-seekers mirrored similar groups showing up in city halls throughout the state: Couples, mostly with one spouse from India or sometimes other nations, looking to marry an American allegedly from another state. ... Clipboard in hand, Geter-Pataky guided a couple at a time into the Office of the Registrar of Vital Statistics on New Haven City Hall's first floor to fill out their license applications. She steered them to the elevator up to the second floor to marry them in the atrium outside the mayor's office. Then on to another couple. Thousands of Immigrants, Protesters March in New York Against Trump's Election. Reports are emerging that a protest march of immigrants and other disgruntled New Yorkers is erupting in Manhattan. The protesters are carrying signs that accuse President-elect Donald Trump of being racist, fascist, sexist, anti-gay, and anti-trans. They are also protesting against mass deportation and "systematic oppression": [Tweet with video clip] A day after the election, Trump spoke with New York City Mayor Eric Adams, and the two discussed how to make positive changes for the city. Then, Adams abruptly ended the immigrant food voucher program that has cost the city at least $3.6 million since March of this year. Adams, a Democrat, has been vocal about the immigrant crisis and the strain that the massive influx of asylum seekers has put on city funds and services, as well as his disappointment in the response from the federal government. Judge rules New York can't use 'antiquated, unconstitutional' law to block migrant buses from Texas. New York City can't use an unconstitutional, two-century-old "anti-pauper" law to block the state of Texas from offering migrants free bus rides to the city from the southern border, a state judge has ruled. The court on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit brought by Mayor Eric Adams in January against charter bus companies contracted by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. It sought to bar them from knowingly dropping off "needy persons," citing an 1817 state law that criminalized bringing an indigent person into the state "for the purpose of making him a public charge." Justice Mary Rosado said in a sternly worded decision that the law is unconstitutional for several reasons. Massive Illegal Immigration March In NYC, Illegals Claim They Refuse To Leave The Country. Illegal immigrants take to the streets in New York City, and say they are not leaving the United States. The development comes as Donald Trump is vowing to carry out the largest deportation. operation in US history. [Video clip] By Massive Margins, Voters In Eight States Say Only Citizens Can Vote In Their Elections. As divided as America may be, this election showed there's one thing most Americans agree on: Only U.S. citizens should vote in U.S. elections. Voters this week in eight states — Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Wisconsin — overwhelmingly approved constitutional amendment ballot questions seeking to ensure noncitizens cannot vote in state and local elections. Foreign nationals are already barred from voting in federal elections. [...] As The Federalist has reported, the vast majority of states' constitutions include language that "every" citizen meeting age and residency requirements is eligible to vote. The amendments demand that "only" U.S. citizens meeting the requirements are electors. What Now? There Are Things Trump Can Do Both Now And After The Inauguration. [Scroll down] His next step should be to announce that any non-citizens who participated in protests that included property damage or personal injuries will have their visa/green card/etc. canceled. They know who they are and would be better off if they removed themselves from the country before January 20. If not, they can expect the same detention as the current J6 political prisoners. They have been admitted to our country as guests. Misbehavior makes them scofflaw schlemiels, who are just as welcome as a party guest who deliberately spills red wine on the hostess' white dress. Continuing in this vein, college-coddled aliens who participated in any protests whatever have made themselves into fetid foreigners. They are here because we graciously extended a privilege, and they are not entitled to any favors when they misbehave. [...] Now, we can make things a bit more fun. Any illegal alien who turns himself in will go to the back of the deportation line. Judge Strikes Down Biden Parole Program For Half A Million Illegal Immigrants. A federal judge on Thursday struck down a Biden administration program that would have granted legal status to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants. U.S. District Judge John Campbell Barker ruled that President Joe Biden's "parole in place" program was illegal after it was challenged by a coalition of Republican attorneys general. The program was rolled out in June and created a pathway for legal status for illegal immigrants married to American citizens and illegal immigrant stepchildren of American citizens. Barker ruled that DHS lacked "statutory authority under" the law to grant parole to illegal immigrants. The judge, who was appointed by Donald Trump, blocked the program from taking effect in August. DHS estimated that the program would have applied to around 550,000 illegal immigrants, while its opponents argued the actual number was much higher. Federal Judge Slaps Down Biden Administration Over Illegal, Last Minute Amnesty Program. A federal judge has struck down a Biden administration program for illegal aliens who are married to US citizens. In a three-paragraph decision, Federal District Judge for the Eastern District of Texas J. Campbell Barker (a Trump appointee, and yes, that does make a difference) ruled that the program the administration rolled out in June 2024 "lack statutory authority under 8 U.S.C. § 11821(d)(5)(A) itself (as opposed to under other provisions modifying or supplementing that authority) to grant parole "in place" to aliens" under the benign-sounding "Keeping Families Together" program. The "Keeping Families Program" was challenged by Texas and a coalition of 15 other states soon after its announcement, and Judge Barker halted it in August. Today, he drove a stake through its heart. [Tweet] Donald Trump: 'No Price Tag' Will Stop Plan for Mass Deportations. President-elect Donald Trump said that no price tag will keep him from implementing his plan for mass deportation of illegal migrants once in office. Speaking with NBC News on Thursday, the president-elect said that he would be working to make the border "strong and powerful" and that he would have "no choice" but to carry out his plan of mass deportations. [Advertisement] "We obviously have to make the border strong and powerful and, and we have to — at the same time, we want people to come into our country," he said. "And you know, I'm not somebody that says, 'No, you can't come in.' We want people to come in." [Advertisement] During his campaign, the president-elect said that he would be carrying out the "largest deportation effort in American history." [The first advertisement again] "A majority of Americans want mass deportations for illegal immigrants," he said. "On Day One back in the White House, President Trump will begin the largest criminal deportation operation of illegal immigrants and restore the rule of law." NYC Mayor Eric Adams to stop giving migrants free pre-paid cards worth $18,500 a year to migrants. New York City is ending its controversial scheme that gave migrant families prepaid debit cards worth a total of $18,500 each. City Hall made the announcement Thursday, as Mayor Eric Adams has finally listened to critics of the Big Apple's migrant policies and Adams himself has become friendlier with Donald Trump, who plans massive reforms to the immigration system. William Fowler, a spokesperson for City Hall, says the program will expire at the end of the year after handing out a total of $3.2 million in cash value for 2,600 families to buy necessities. NYC to end controversial program supplying migrants with prepaid debit cards after dropping $53M. Mayor Eric Adams is ending his administration's controversial program supplying migrants in city shelters with prepaid debit cards to pay for groceries. The pilot program distributed the preloaded Mastercards to asylum seekers at hotels-turned-shelters, with a family of four receiving about $350 a week to cover the cost of groceries and baby supplies. The city hired New Jersey-based tech startup Mobility Capital Finance in a $53 million, one-year "emergency" contract that drew backlash when the city failed to conduct a typical bidding process before picking the company. But with the one year up shortly, the Adams administration decided against renewing the contract, ABC7 reported. MAGA Has Birthed a New, Diverse Republican Party. In 2016, roughly 87% of Trump voters were white. But in 2024, nearly one in five Trump voters were black, Latino, Native American, or "people of color." The media were flabbergasted. After all, the Democrats did everything they could to disrupt Trump's momentum with minorities: They called him Hitler. They called him a racist. They called him a fascist. They called him a white supremacist. But throughout all their hysterical name-calling, they overlooked one important thing: Illegal immigration was disproportionately injuring non-white Americans. If you're a rich white liberal, illegal immigration is a net positive. Hey, you got a nanny, a gardener, a pool guy, and a handyman for pennies on the dollar! And if you're a business owner, illegal immigration is a cheap form of manual labor. What Trump's astonishing comeback means. Before Trump descended the Trump Tower escalator in June of 2015, a bipartisan governing consensus in Washington was that unlimited amounts of both immigration and trade were unalloyed benefits to the country. Democrats, who guided or bullied this consensus into being, suggested America has a duty to take in any migrant from anywhere in the world, no matter their culture or educational background. Many Republicans believed migrants were essential for economic growth and did not care that their influx depressed the wages of blue-collar Americans. Nor did either side pay much mind to the ways this frayed the cultural fabric of the nation. Some of this thinking guided the amnesty for illegal immigrants agreed by President Ronald Reagan in 1986, although Democrats prevented the increased border security that was supposed to be the other side of the deal. President George W. Bush tried to pass another amnesty in 2007, although that effort failed. Trump exploded that governing consensus. 'A Coordinated Effort' To Rig States - Rogan Exposes Democrats' Plan To Destroy American Democracy.... "Undeniably," admits Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman to podcaster Joe Rogan, "immigration is changing our nation." The two men spoke about a wide variety of political topics ranging from how Donald Trump won in 2016 to how immigration stands as a key issue in the election today. Specifically, Fetterman played the Democratic Party card, claiming that Republicans in 2024 "had an opportunity to do a comprehensive border-bipartisan-and that went down because Trump, he declared that that's a bad deal after it was negotiated with the other side." Rogan then brutally 'fact-checked' the stammering senator, pointing out the reality that that the deal made many concessions that Republicans concerned about the border found to be unacceptable. "But, didn't that deal also involved amnesty," responded Rogan,"and didn't that deal also involve a significant number of illegal aliens being allowed into the country every year?" Silence from Fetterman. John Fetterman Seems To Admit That Democrats Are Importing Massive Amounts Of Illegals To Steal Elections In Swing States. John Fetterman appears to admit that Biden and Kamala's refusal to close the border is meant to rig future elections after getting completely grilled by Joe Rogan. This is exactly why Harris won't go on Rogan's show. Rogan: "[Republicans'] fear is exactly what I talked about, that these people will be moved to swing states and that that will be used to essentially rig those states and turn them blue forever." [Video clip] Panama to Start Fining Migrants Crossing Darié:n Gap Jungle $5,000. Panama will reportedly start imposing a fine of up to $5,000 on illegal migrants caught crossing through the Darién Gap jungle trail, President José Raúl announced on Thursday. Mulino made the announcement in a weekly press conference where he covered a wide array of topics such as migration and health while also giving an update on some of the results of his policies. "Any person who enters the country — foreigner — violating immigration checkpoints, land, air or sea, will be fined an amount ranging from one thousand dollars to five thousand dollars, depending on the seriousness of the infraction," Mulino said. Mexico Is Holding Back A Massive Wave Of Illegal Immigrants That Will Break After The Election. A tip led me to 40 kilometers north of this down-at-heel border city, by rental car, until I spotted the unmistakable sight: a 1,000-strong caravan of migrants marching by foot along Mexico Highway 200 for hundreds of yards. Men, women, children, and babies bobbed and weaved together in an elongated, colorful human pack. I spent the day walking among and interviewing them, the only reporter there. Just the week before, a 2,000-strong migrant caravan from Tapachula did catch some fleeting American media attention, and next came a massive third one marching out of Tapachula which became a full-scale U.S. news story as the American presidential election campaigns draw to their climactic Nov. 5 end, with illegal immigration a top issue in the election's outcome. Report: Migrants Voting Would Allow Democrats to Win 12 Extra States. The non-citizen population in the United States has grown so fast that it could swing 12 states toward the Democrats' presidential candidate if the foreigners were allowed to vote, says the non-partisan Center for Immigration Studies. "Census Bureau data collected earlier this year indicates that there are 23.2 million voting-age non-citizens in the country, roughly half of whom are illegal immigrants," said the report by the group's research chief, Steven Camarota[.] [...] Migration advocates and Democrats argue that very few migrants cast votes in presidential elections. But GOP critics say that Democrat activists routinely register foreigners so that their ballots can be filled out and illegally returned by the activists. Corporations, Childless Cat Women, and Politicians. Both supporters and critics of lax immigration on the U.S.-Mexico border speak about how it serves to funnel in a "replacement population." [...] But open-border supporters also defend importing a "replacement population," even if they avoid that term. Furthermore, that notion is no recent idea for them. If you listen to Democrat politicians like Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer, we need expanded immigration because Americans aren't having babies, and we need workers. Such is the latest variation on the theme "we need immigrants to do work Americans won't," long the mantra of the Chamber of Commerce and other corporate bodies that favor importing cheap labor. If Americans won't work (or have American babies who will work in the future), then let's import our workforce! It's paradoxical that, although Kamala Harris has put abortion on demand through birth front and center in her campaign (one of the few things about which she's clear on her position and can address minus a teleprompter), few people connect the demand for abortion with the demand for open borders as a way of building an American workforce. Vance: Biden-Harris Border Invasion Is 'Fundamentally The End Of American Democracy'. Sen. J.D. Vance, R-Ohio, Republican nominee for vice president, described the interwoven interests of corporations and the Democrats advocating for open borders at the expense of the American people, calling it "fundamentally the end of American democracy." Vance joined the "Joe Rogan Experience" for a three-hour interview released Thursday, where he said the motivation behind the Biden-Harris administration allowing millions of illegals to pour across the southern border is twofold: An electoral power play and kowtowing to corporate interests looking to swindle American workers. "I do think there's also a power dynamic to it. In particular, I think Kamala Harris and the Democrats, they want to give these millions upon millions of illegal aliens the right to vote," Vance explained. "They want to legalize them. They want to make it easier for them to participate in our elections. And that means, fundamentally, the end of American democracy, because you're talking about 25 million people here." Ten Things President Trump Can Do To Return The Government To The People. January 20, 2025, will not be a checkered flag moment. On the contrary, it will be the starting line for a four-year race to save the nation. As such, we need to look at what exactly needs to be done going forward. Here are ten things President Trump needs to do. There's much more, but I'd suggest this is a place to start. [#1] Seal the border and deport all 30 million illegal immigrants. As happened last time, Democrats, RINOs, and activist judges will try and stop him. He cannot let them succeed. Begin by declaring the nation is under assault and deploying the Army to the border until the wall is complete, something that Americans will probably support. The first step in deporting the millions of illegals is stopping all their benefits. Given that they will need food and shelter when the benefits are curtailed, establish exit processing centers where they can come and find shelter and food as part of being processed out of the country. Next, stop all federal funds from going to "sanctuary" states and cities that do not cooperate. Biden-Harris Team Still Flying Haitians into the United States. Last April, the Republican-led House Committee on Homeland Security caught the Harris-Biden administration spending your taxpayer dollars to fly military-age Hattian men into America. Charter flights would land in the middle of the night and discharge tens of thousands of illegals. Once caught, it stopped for a while. Now, Mumbles and Giggles have resumed the program in a way that costs you more, and all the illegal passengers are approved by the gangs running Haiti. The overnight flights of the "slip them in at 2:00 AM when no one is watching" program were easy to track. Websites such as Flight Aware allowed anyone to follow the planes all the way to their landings at more than 50 U.S. airports. Knowing they were busted, Biden-Harris changed their M.O. They stopped the charters on the Fly by Night Airlines. They now pay traditional U.S. airlines to slip them in with their regular passengers. Busloads Of Non-English Speaking People Cut The Voting Lines In Pennsylvania With Translators, All Wearing Harris/Walz Stickers. Several buses full of non-English speaking "citizens" are guided past Americans who had been waiting in line for hours to cast their early votes. These people, all wearing Harris Walz stickers, were directed through the voting process by a handful of "translators". [Video clip] Isn't the Congress supposed to vote on stuff like this? Harris and Biden deliver thousands of migrants from one of the poorest and most corrupt nations in the world. Mayor Mark Mason of little Lockland, Ohio is scrambling to keep things together after the Harris-Biden regime dropped thousands of migrants from Mauritania (not to be confused with Mauritius) into the community over the last year. As Mason describes the situation, it's a "population outburst," which equates to a roughly 100% increase — Lockland is about 1.2-square miles, and before the arrival of thousands of foreign Muslims who don't speak English, there were only about 3,500 people in the small hamlet. Mason states that Lockland lacks the resources to cope with what is obviously a serious burden, a reality corroborated by other city officials — Doug Wehmeyer, the local police chief as well as Lockland's administrator, who revealed that emergency services typically run about 1,500 calls a year, but so far in 2024 has jumped by 12%, which works out (approximately) to be an extra 180 calls — or basically an extra call every other day — and this increase is almost exclusively due to the Mauritanians, who are still living like they're in Mauritanian huts and stone homes, burning down apartment complexes in "cooking fire" mishaps. North Carolinians to Decide on Amendment Clarifying That 'Only a Citizen' May Vote. Residents in North Carolina will have the opportunity in November to clarify requirements pertaining to voting. Fox News reported on Thursday that House Bill 1074 would clarify the state constitution's wording to say that citizens are the only persons allowed to vote in state elections. The report noted that non-citizens are already barred from voting in North Carolina. The bill is also being called the "Citizen Only Voting" amendment. At best, only 70% of cameras along the border actually work. "A series of surveillance towers and cameras that have been used to remotely surveil the border since 2011," known as the Remote Video Surveillance Systems and described by Tennessee congressman Mark Green as a "force multiplier" for Border Patrol agents, is only at a 70% operational level — and no one really seems to know how long these cameras have been out of order. [...] According to the same memo, the problem affects (at least) 150 out of the 500 cameras, and they've fallen into ruin because the entity contracted to handle the maintenance and repairs can't seem to do their job — shocker, it's a government agency (not a private company) with "internal problems" inhibiting its ability to properly meet the Border Patrol's needs. Another Midwestern Town Inundated With Haitian Migrants. Residents from another midwestern town, this time in Indiana, say city resources are being strained and their children put last due to a sudden influx of migrants from Haiti. Thousands of new migrants, hailing mostly from Haiti, are now living in Logansport, Indiana, a town with a population of just 18,000. Though local officials say they have not been given any answers on just how many migrants have moved in, estimates range from 3,000 to 5,000 Haitians. The surrounding areas have seen an influx as well, with an estimated 11,000 new migrants county-wide. Logansport Mayor Chris Martin has said that there are "assimilation issues" related to culture, according to a report from the New York Post. In one instance, a resident named Nancy Baker told the Post that her 16-year-old daughter was chased by migrants after she rebuffed their calls to walk over to them while she was on her way to a nearby coffee shop. Another resident, 32-year-old Candice Espinoza, said migrants routinely stare into her windows while she's home, holding up their phones, potentially recording her. Six indicted for voter fraud in Ohio. Six of the nearly 140 people referred to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost by Secretary of State Frank LaRose for illegal voting have been indicted. Yost announced Tuesday seven cases were presented to grand juries last week, resulting in six indictments for illegal voting. A grand jury refused to indict the seventh. Five of the indictments involved legal U.S. permanent residents without citizenship. The sixth involved a noncitizen who accused of voting in 2014, 2016, and 2018. Only two of the indictments involved the 2020 election. "The right to vote is sacred," Yost said. "If you're not a U.S. citizen, it's illegal to vote — whether you thought you were allowed to or not — you will be held accountable." Surprise, Surprise! You already know the real reason the Democratic Party went insane: its crime spree against the citizens of this land was so obvious and outrageous that a thousand Beltway bureaucrats are now going crazy in fear of prosecution. The tantrum everyone expects them to provoke would be a real insurrection and they are liable to find themselves in even deeper trouble for resorting to it. Crime is the whole reason for the Democrats' desperation. There was no "policy" the past four years, only crime. The Covid operation was a mass murder. The open border was not something that just happened, like a spell of bad weather. It was a colossal racketeering operation. They worked it hard. "Joe Biden" paid dozens of NGO cut-outs to systematically jam more than ten million sketchy interlopers into the country, and then support them lavishly with cash payments when they got here. It's the Great Reversal, Not the Great Reset. Everyone senses that the open border policy of the Biden-Harris administration, best described by the U.N. term "replacement migration," has been driven by a kind of unprecedented anti-American wickedness directed at destabilizing the United States through overwhelming our health and education welfare system and bringing on potentially massive election irregularity from a spike in illegal immigrant voting. On top of that, we have become the number one country in the world in human and child trafficking, criminal gang activity, and seeding our territory for insurrection and direct terrorist attacks — the latter likely to happen leading up to election day or shortly after that. Then we have the backdrop, accomplished just a few months ago, that gave a veneer of legitimacy to what was, in fact, a coup of Kamala Harris removing and replacing Joe Biden without a single vote — primary or otherwise — being cast. Banana Republic 2.0. In Logansport, Indiana, kids are being pushed out of schools after migrants swelled county's population by 30%. Thousands of migrants from Haiti and dozens of other countries have arrived in this isolated Indiana city of 18,000 in just a few years. Furious residents say they no longer feel safe in the once-sleepy downtown, and their kids are being muscled out of the schools by new students who don't know English and need a lot of help. They blame Vice President Kamala Harris and President Biden. "Do something. Our community cannot withstand this many people being here," Candice Espinoza, 32, a local photographer, told The Post when asked what her message would be to the Democratic presidential candidate. Nancy Baker, 44, a mother of two, was more blunt about what she would tell Harris: "Get off my property." "I don't see how she can stand behind Biden the whole time and she keeps deflecting anytime they ask questions." NY's Prop 1 opens the door to noncitizen voting. New York Democrats have failed to legalize noncitizen voting, but may get their way by passing Proposition 1 on the Nov. 5 ballot. The deceptively written "Equal Rights Amendment" doesn't protect women or abortion rights — but does empower lawmakers to ignore the current language of the state Constitution in the name of protecting a whole host of new rights that it would create. Let's be clear: Abortion rights are not under threat in New York. Citizenship and voting rights, however, are under attack. The courts blocked the New York City Council's 2021 law to let 800,000 non-citizens with green cards vote, since Article II, Section 1, of the state Constitution restricts voting in New York to US citizens who are 18 or older and have lived in the state at least 30 days. But Prop 1 would undo that protection: Among the host of new rights it creates is a prohibition of discrimination on the basis of "national origin." 2024: Voting by Facts, Not Feelings. Looking at the illegal immigration crises, the positions of the two candidates could not be more different. Kamala has historically supported sanctuary cities and an open southern border. When in power, she immediately stopped the construction of Trump's border wall and ended Trump's "remain in Mexico" policy. Harris categorized the wall as being "racist, medieval, anti-immigrant, Trump's vanity project, and a waste of taxpayer money." Her goal has always been to decriminalize illegal crossings. She stated, "An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal." At the same time, President Trump has consistently labeled those crossing the southern border illegally as illegal aliens who are committing a crime when they enter the country. Harris also wants to dismantle Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), stating in an MSNBC interview, "I think there's no question that we've got to critically re-examine ICE and its role and the way that it is being administered and the work it is doing ... and we need to probably think about starting from scratch." Official: Ohio Village Struggling as Mass of Illegals Cause Financial Losses, Safety Problems. A huge group of illegal immigrants from Mauritania is causing all kinds of issues for a small village outside Cincinnati, Ohio. During a recent interview, Lockland Village Administrator Doug Wehmeyer explained to Fox News the progression of the situation in his area, the outlet reported Saturday, noting that Lockland has about 3,500 residents. "If you look at 2021, 2022, the United States had seen a huge influx of immigrants from Mauritania. Somehow, a good number of them have landed in Lockland," he said. Wehmeyer voiced concern about two apartment complexes where the units should house four individuals. But officials have said they have found up to 12 individuals living inside single units. Such living arrangements can cause other problems regarding sanitation and safety, Wehmeyer explained. The migrant industrial complex constructs huge new structures in southern Mexico for moving migrants north -report. [Scroll down] So the idea of building a huge permanent complex to house migrants, United Nations agencies, and NGOs would almost seem counterintuitive, given that migrants are unlikely to have it as good as they have had it under the Harris-Biden administration, with Border Patrol enforcers ordered to escort them on in, vetted or not. You don't lay down a what must be a billion dollars on a construction project that won't be able to achieve its purpose, which in this case, is industrializing the migration process and making illegal border crossings a permanent and established feature of entrance to the U.S. And yet, they are. If you look at Bensman's video, and compare the size of the structure to the tiny cars next to it, you can see that it's a Behemoth, a ziggurat, a beacon for the gathering and shepherding of migrants. Influx Of Migrants Just Doubled The Population Of A Small Ohio Town. Another Rust Belt town in southwest Ohio is becoming overwhelmed by overseas migrants who've nearly doubled the town's population of 3,500. A local Cincinnati television station reported last month that while Springfield copes with tens of thousands of Haitian arrivals, "the small village of Lockland is grappling with its own crisis." "Estimates suggested that there are up to 3,000 asylum-seeking immigrants, primarily from Mauritania, residing in the Cincinnati suburb," Local 12 reported. "Lockland Fire Chief and Village Administrator Doug Wehmeyer said the Mauritanians are living in several apartment buildings, often with as many as 10 people in units designed for four." "It's creating a dangerous situation for the residents and firefighters," Wehmeyer told the television station. "In most cases, all they have is a mattress, a couch, and some clothes. So, while we're trying to advance a fire hose line down the hallway, they are pulling mattresses and clothes out [of the units], believing that it's over [and the building will burn down]. Where we look at that and say, 'Man, there's 10 people in a unit.' They look at that and it's better than the condition they came from." Report: Kamala Harris Would Import 12.3 Million Migrants. President Kamala Harris could import almost four million migrants in 2025 — and 12.3 million migrants during her four years — by continuing President Joe Biden's policies, according to a report by pro-migration advocates. The huge and disruptive inflow of migrants, however, will only raise annual economic growth by one cent for every $10, says the report by the business-funded Brookings Institution. [...] A 2025 inflow of 3.7 million legal, illegal, quasi-legal, and temporary migrants would deliver one migrant for every American birth. So far, the Harris campaign has signaled she will continue the high-migration policies set by Biden. Our Current Government Is No Longer Constitutional. The Federal Borg has imported the migrant waves precisely because the invaders' dependency on the government is calculated to generate the votes that will keep the Federal Borg in power. Along with their political loyalty, they also bring crime, disease, chaos in education, and the dislocation of employment. About
whom is Trump speaking when he references the enemy from within? The media is having
a collective cow over the fact that President Trump said he worries about the "enemies from within"
who will pay a price for what they've done to this great nation. [...] Here is a sample of people
who Trump refers to as the enemies from within:
Border patrol agents threaten to leave in droves if Kamala Harris wins. Border patrol agents are threatening to leave the critical federal agency in droves if Vice President Kamala Harris wins in November — with multiple agents telling The Post that they can't face four more years of being undermined and scapegoated. "I'm not doing this [...] again ... four years of hell," said one agent, who is nowhere near retirement. Another agent said: "Lots of guys who can retire will go. If Trump wins, they'll stay." On Monday the Border Patrol union, National Border Patrol Council, endorsed former President Donald Trump. Managing Initial Mass Deportation. Based on my experience, I guess that, by January 2025, over the preceding four years, we will have admitted 20 million more folks in this country than law and good sense would have allowed. Most Americans strongly favor deporting these illegal aliens. How do we (i.e., the next Trump Administration) fix this? A few simple, immediate steps will address the problem without the ugly round-ups that Democrats promise, ensuring a stark reduction in the number of illegal aliens. All these steps should apply to all illegals in the country without exception. Each illegal foreign child should be DNAed and fingerprinted. Abandoned children need to be tracked and eventually reunited with family if feasible. Otherwise, put them up for adoption. Any minor claiming to be 14 years or older should be processed as an adult, which I'd be willing to bet most of them are. DREAMers should be processed for temporary legal residence with no possibility of becoming an American citizen. If they keep their noses clean and stay off public assistance, let them stay. By the way, if they say they can't speak their parents' native language, that's simply not true. They grew up speaking with their parents, after all. The Editor says... Correcting Many Usurpations. [Scroll down] Even if Trump were to win, people have to go to jail for the attempt to steal it. Illegals caught voting need to be deported. It is the will to do that with the propagandist media highlighting every unfortunate circumstance that occurs that I doubt. The response should be: They didn't have to put their families through it. They could have stayed home. This is American responsibility for one's actions that they suffer. Border Patrol Union Endorses Trump, Chief Says Everything Would [Get Worse] Under Kamala. In a move that should surprise no one considering that the Biden-Harris regime has treated the Border Patrol like dirt, the National Border Patrol Council announced Sunday at a campaign rally in Prescott, Arizona, that they were throwing their support behind Donald Trump. Union president Paul Perez minced no words as he eviscerated Kamala Harris for her utter failure to stem the flow of illegal immigrants into the country: ["]If we allow Border Czar Harris to win this election, every city, every community in this great country, is going to go to hell. The untold millions of people, unvetted, who she has allowed into this country that are committing murders, rapes, robberies, burglaries, and every other crime will continue to put our country in peril. Only one man can fix that and that is Donald J. Trump. He has always stood with the men and women who protect this border.["] [Tweet] Walz Reveals the Harris Campaign's Solution for the Illegal Immigration Crisis. At a rally in Arizona this week, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who is Vice President Kamala Harris' running mate, said that he supports mass amnesty for illegal aliens. There are tens of millions of illegals who live in the United States who crossed illegally in border states, like Arizona. "This is what you want and this is what we know. To enact an earned pathway to citizenship to those who've lived in this country for years," Walz said at the rally as the audience cheered. "This issue should not divide us, it should unite us," he added. [Tweet with video clip] Kamala Harris Makes Pledge to Latino Voters to Welcome, Grant Amnesty for Millions of Migrants. Vice President Kamala Harris is promising Latino voters that she will open the borders to a vast number of economic migrants and will grant shares of their U.S. citizenship to millions of migrants who have sneaked into Americans' society. Harris did not explain to swing-voting Americans with Latino ancestry why their concerns about the economy should be subordinated to her goal of welcoming millions of desperate, job-seeking migrants. The U.S. government [is] now effectively a criminal organization. Think of the millions of illegal aliens, many of them criminals, allowed to cross our border in recent years. Countless numbers of whom have been given cell phones, pre-loaded credit cards, driver's licenses, and been transported around the country and put up in nice hotels. Or sent to 'battleground states.' For some reason. Coincidence, I'm sure. The government doesn't want you to think about the staggering amount of crime, sex-trafficking, and fentanyl that has come across the border with them. Mention this, and you will likely be accused of racism, xenophobia ... or of spreading 'misinformation.' Small Rural Indiana City Overwhelmed by Thousands of Haitian Illegal Migrants. A small rural Indiana town is overwhelmed after an estimated 5,000 Haitian illegals came in thanks to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Thousands of illegal and paroled migrants from Haiti, Guatemala, El Salvador and other 3rd world countries have been sent to Logansport, Indiana, a rural city of just 18,000 people. People from at least 28 countries speaking 27 languages now call Logansport home. There are 20-25 people living in homes. Hospitals are overwhelmed with record number of births and more than 20,000 ER visits per year. The media pushes nonsensical migrant narratives. Have you ever taken a serious look at how the mainstream media covers immigration? There isn't a unitary narrative about migrants. There are actually multiple, contradictory storylines, and that's deliberate. So, instead of following the facts to the truth, we in the news-consuming public are served up a series of poorly researched verbal snapshots that are always designed to portray immigrants as victims and Americans as oppressors. [...] People who plan lengthy globe-spanning journeys and manage to clothe, house and feed themselves in a new country are not the type to put up with soiled undergarments or an untreated medical condition because they don't speak the local tongue. Moreover, the vast majority of aliens who have entered the U.S. during the Biden administration have arranged their own entry, using the infamous CBP One app. In order to use that app, they have to be able to read and have some familiarity with how to use a cell phone or a computer. Could the Hurricane Response be Election Interference? New potential Democrat voters are arriving in America daily. Border apprehensions are way up according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, as noted below. These are only between ports of entry, not crossings elsewhere or via DHS-arranged flights from other countries, totally bypassing land border crossings. Biden-Harris Administration Has No Clue How Many Unvetted Aliens It Let In. The inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security issued a new report revealing that the Biden-Harris administration has endangered Americans' safety by intentionally welcoming millions of illegal immigrants into the U.S. without properly vetting them. The importance of these findings cannot be ignored, as they directly affect our personal and national security. The redacted report's long title is also its conclusion: "CBP, ICE, and TSA Did Not Fully Assess Risks Associated with Releasing Noncitizens without Identification into the United States and Allowing Them to Travel on Domestic Flights." Among the three agencies, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are entrusted with verifying the identity of noncitizens seeking entry into the United States, and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is responsible for screening all individuals intending to fly domestically and ensuring the safety of air travel. Communists Out of the Closet. But the open border has facilitated numerous other crises — for example, the fentanyl overdose epidemic, which is killing hundreds of thousands of American youths, flooding our cities and schools with overwhelming burdens, packing the welfare rolls with illegals, and bringing in tens of thousands of criminals, terrorists, and, likely, many covert military operatives. The Democrats couldn't care less about how these problems affect Americans, as they demonstrate over and over again by refusing to enforce laws on the books and voting down any provisions in law that address the problems. Democrats aren't even hiding it anymore. The communists have come fully out of the closet. [...] Be clear on this: we are witnessing an attempted Communist overthrow of our great nation. Recent Events Force Us To See The Reality Of Today's Democrats. [Scroll down] And none of this is incidental. It's deliberate. Democrat sanctuary cities and states have been obstructing ICE and federal immigration enforcement for decades. Just days after his instillation, Joe Biden eliminated some of the most powerful border protection programs Donald Trump had put into place. Later, when Arizona built a wall of shipping containers to try and stem the flow of illegals across its border, Biden and Harris sued to force their removal. Then, when Texas installed floating barriers in an effort to interdict illegal crossings of — and reduce drownings in — the Rio Grande, Joe Biden and Border Czar Kamala Harris again sued for their removal. And for those states like California that leave their border as welcoming as an Amsterdam brothel, the Democrats rewarded them by flying hordes of illegals to other states like Texas, which have been fighting the invasion largely on their own. All of this should be a red flag to Americans. Democrats clearly value illegal immigrants over American citizens. Video Shows A Mexican Illegal In Phoenix Registering Other Illegals To Vote. Video obtained by @realmuckraker shows what has been called a "conspiracy theory," until now. In Phoenix, Arizona a liberal, Mexican man in a grocery store offered to knowingly register a non-citizen DACA recipient to vote. The same man went on to tell the DACA recipient to bring his friends to get registered as well. [Video clip] A Troubled Place. Charleroi, Pennsylvania, is a deeply troubled place. The former steel town, built along a stretch of the Monongahela River, south of Pittsburgh, has experienced the typical Rust Belt rise and fall. The industrial economy, which had turned it into something resembling a company town, hollowed out after the Second World War. Some residents fled; others succumbed to vices. The steel mills disappeared. Two drug-abuse treatment centers have since opened their doors. The town's population had steadily declined since the middle of the twentieth century, with the most recent Census reporting slightly more than 4,000 residents. Then, suddenly, things changed. Local officials estimate that approximately 2,000 predominantly Haitian migrants have moved in. FEMA broke, impotent, or disgustingly biased? If you thought the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was specifically and exclusively tasked with providing relief and succor to American citizens who have been the victims of natural disasters, you probably also believe in the tooth fairy — or that Epstein killed himself. Au contraire. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas recently admitted that "FEMA does not have the funds to make it through the season." This begs a question. Why? I was keen to guess. One reason is that FEMA spent more than $650 million this fiscal year providing housing and services to illegal aliens. I did guess. Correctly! That's right, FEMA spent the better part of a billion dollars so far this year providing non-emergency aid to non-citizens via the Shelter and Services program. Mayorkas Pretends to Cap 'Parole' Migration Before Election. President Joe Biden's Homeland Security chief is now refusing to send home the more than 500,000 foreign workers he has imported via a "humanitarian" parole program that was supposedly limited to two years. Instead of being sent home at the end of their two-year visas, the 530,000 economic migrants are being invited to use the many loopholes, exemptions, and lawsuits in migration law to stay working in the United States. [Advertisement] When they do stay, they will continue to make Americans poorer by minimizing pressure on employers to hire Americans at decent wages or to invest in wage-boosting workplace technology — while also extending their separation from their at-home families. [Advertisement] The policy change "gives the Biden administration the appearance that they're looking tough when really they're just doing the same things that they've been doing all along," one critic told Breitbart News. Illegals
Are Getting Amazing Apartments In Maine, Rent-Free For 2 Years With Utilities Paid.
Great reporting from Savanah Hernandez and Frontlines: Inside the furnished Maine apartments where
migrants are getting up to 2 years of free rent & utilities. Fed agencies released noncitizens without ID into US, allowed them to board domestic flights: DHS OIG report. In a new, heavily redacted report, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) inspector general found that several federal agencies did not fully assess risks associated with releasing noncitizens without identification into the U.S. and allowing them to travel on domestic flights. Inspector General Joseph V. Cuffari said in the report that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) failed to ensure that high-risk noncitzens without ID are not entering the country and boarding domestic flights. The IG said that according to federal law, "noncitizens without ID are not admissible into the country and "shall be detained," but that CBP and ICE are permitted to release noncitizens into the U.S. based on various circumstances. New Data Show How Biden-Harris Admin Is Handcuffing ICE. Newly collected data reveal how deportation officers are removing substantially fewer illegal migrants, including convicted criminals, out of the United States under the Biden-Harris administration than under the Trump administration. There were a total of 273,708 removals of illegal migrants during the first three fiscal years of the Biden-Harris administration, which includes removals from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers and other federal immigration agents, according to data compiled by the National Immigration Center for Enforcement (NICE). This number marks a considerable decrease from the 749,462 removals that took place during the first three fiscal years under the Trump administration. Word games can't conceal the 'third world' truth about open borders. Politically incorrect words don't kill, but Venezuelan gangs do. Donald Trump this week warned rally-goers in a small Wisconsin community that "if Kamala is reelected, your town and every town ... will be transformed into a third-world hellhole." He's repeatedly said that Biden-Harris open borders are turning New York into a "third world nation" and America into a "third world disaster" — and the rhetoric makes left-wing elites apoplectic. Never mind the violence perpetrated by migrant gangs and the societal disorder caused by open borders: Their problem is with the words. NPR says the term "third world" is "offensive." Foreign Policy columnist Howard French calls it "utterly racist rhetoric." It's an intentional distraction. Biden-Harris Admin Used FEMA Disaster Funding For Illegal Immigrants. The Biden-Harris administration took more than a billion tax dollars that had been allocated to the agency responsible for American disaster relief and used it to offer services for illegal immigrants. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) allocated nearly $364 million in the fiscal year 2023 and $650 million for the 2024 fiscal year to the "Shelter and Services Program" "to provide humanitarian services to noncitizen migrants following their release from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)," according to the government's website. The program is run in cooperation with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) "to support CBP in the safe, orderly and humane release of noncitizen migrants from short-term holding facilities," FEMA's website reads. Immigration, By the Numbers. It is no coincidence that, in last night's debate, immigration was the issue on which the moderators intervened to try to stop the Democratic Party's bleeding. The Biden/Harris administration's immigration policies have been disastrous, unless they are actually trying to destroy our country. In which case they make perfect sense. My colleague David Zimmer recaps the Biden/Harris debacle by the numbers. How Can Trump Win When Democrats Have 30 Million Immigrant-Invaders To Vote Against Him? Democrats are passing laws to make sure that a non-citizen who just walked across the border has a vote equal to a United States native-born citizen. Immigrant-invaders are given federal IDs which entitle them to drivers' licenses. Many jurisdictions automatically enroll driver license recipients on the voting list. Two days ago California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill preventing local governments from requiring voters to present identification at the polls. The Democrat California government has made it a felony to prevent election fraud. [...] The Democrats are the party of the immigrant-invaders, and tens of millions of [ignorant] white Americans will vote for the party of immigrant-invaders. It is even worse than that. The Biden/Kamala Regime are using our taxpayers dollars to finance NGOs to recruit from 150 countries immigrant invaders and to provide them with transportation, to Latin America and with food, water, medical care, and sleeping quarters as they march to our border. When Washington's recruits of immigrant-invaders reach the border, federal and local authorities are required to let them in. JFK and the Immigration Crisis. Admission of refugees into the United States has long been the subject of special refugee legislation. The Refugee Relief Act of 1953 required that no visa would be issued to any alien under the Act unless an assurance had first been given by a citizen or citizens of the United States that such alien, if admitted to the United States, would be suitably employed without displacing some other person from employment and that such alien and the members of such alien's family who were to accompany such alien and who proposed to live with such alien would not become public charges and would have housing without displacing some other person from such housing. The Act further provided that each such assurance was required to be the personal obligation of the citizen or citizens giving or submitting such assurance. A thorough security screening was also required along with documentation that guaranteed readmission to the country in which the applicant obtained a visa. Protecting Citizens Against Noncitizen Voting: What's a State To Do? Federal law prohibits noncitizens (resident aliens as well as illegal immigrants) from voting in federal elections. Most state constitutions note that voting is for U.S. and state citizens, but many do not ban noncitizen voting or use the words "citizens only." Although federal laws prohibit noncitizen voting, they do not have specific or meaningful enforcement provisions from registration process through to voting. No documentary proof of citizenship is required to register to vote. What can a state do? There are actions that governors, attorney's general, secretaries of state, and state legislators can take. Because the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (aka "motor voter") currently prevents states from verifying citizenship at registration, it must be done at the 'back end" of the process — after registration. Walz Dismissal Of Springfield Immigration Crisis Signals Four More Years Of Open Borders If Harris Wins. Minnesota Democrat Gov. Tim Walz dismissed the immigration crisis overwhelming the blue-collar town of Springfield, Ohio, Tuesday as tens of thousands of Haitians have descended on the dilapidated community of roughly 60,000. After complaining about congressional Republicans killing a catastrophic bill that would have codified an open border, Walz went on to admonish former President Donald Trump and Sen. J.D. Vance for "creating stories" about the "large number of people who were here legally in Springfield." "This is what happens when you don't want to solve it," Walz said, as if passing a bill to grant amnesty for all with 5,000 crossings permitted on a daily basis were solving anything. Haitian immigrants at meatpacking plant claim abuse since arriving in Colorado. Union members at the JBS Foods meatpacking plant in Greeley, Colorado, said hundreds of Haitian immigrants were lured to work at the plant on false promises. "[They were told,] 'You can come here. You are going to have a very good job. And you don't have to worry about where you're going to sleep because the company is going to take care of that for you,'" alleges plant worker Tchelly Moise. Moise, who is also a representative of United Food and Commercial Workers Local 7, claims those workers were trafficked through the social media app TikTok. And since arriving in Greeley, workers say they've dealt with everything from poor living conditions to abuse inside the plant. "We are talking about eight or 10 people inside of one motel room, a small room with just one bed inside of it and one bathroom," said Moise. Presenting the Conqueror of America. Any country can conquer a nation that has been turned against itself by traitors — even one led by this guy: [Tweet with video clip] "Respect" and "dignity," yelps Edgard Leblanc Fils, the head of Haiti's Transitional Presidential Council, after denouncing civilization as "barbaric." Trying to drink out of the pitcher instead of using the glass provided like we barbaric people do was not the most ludicrous part of his speech. [...] Speaking of the past, why have there been no French people in the French colony Haiti for the past 200 years? Because the blacks killed them off. Skewered French babies were reportedly carried aloft on pikes. Despite attempts to guilt us into submission, we owe Haiti nothing. Is This How Democrats Are Hoping to Steal Arizona in November? Remember when Democrats pushed back against new laws aimed at banning illegal immigrants from voting, insisting that "it's already illegal" and dismissing concerns as nothing more than a conspiracy theory? Well, surprise, surprise — reports have proven yet another "conspiracy theory" right. The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project and the guerilla journalists at Muckraker have teamed up to unearth a little scheme down in Arizona — registering illegal aliens to vote. And shocker, I wonder which political party those new "voters" might be supporting? I'll give you one guess, and I bet you'll get it right. Illegal Aliens Living in Phoenix, Arizona Apartment Complex Admit Being Registered to Vote. This is why the Biden-Harris Regime ferried in more than 15 million illegal aliens over the last 3 years. Non-citizens and illegal aliens living at the Los Vecinos apartment complex in Phoenix, Arizona admitted to being registered to vote, according to undercover video posted by the Oversight Project. "Just out of curiosity, are you registered to vote?" a Real Muckraker reporter asked the illegal. "Yes, we've already registered," the illegal said. Immigrants Are Taking Over Pennsylvania Now. [Video clip] Waging War Against Their Own. With Democrats and RINOs determined to make fraudulent elections a feature of the republic, it's time for Americans, true Americans, to push back hard. This is no longer a republic. The inaction on securing the vote has ensured that fact. This is not a democracy, either, for the same reason. They disdain the vote and both sides are desperate to remove the need for one, eliminating the people's voice from the process. The government, in effect, encourages voting fraud by registering to vote those ineligible to vote through intentional acts. An "intentional act" can be perceived as failing to adequately vet the eligibility of the voter prior to registering them to vote. In all cases, any county, state, local or federal official who takes part in such acts is acting under color of law. [...] In this case, the DMV in Texas and other places were allowing illegals to register to vote when they obtained driver's licenses, also illegal, without the appropriate documentation to do so. Many of these illegals, pushed into our states and cities by a rogue administration in Washington determined to allow them to vote to secure an election by illegal means, had abandoned their passports and other identifying documents to purposely enter the United States with an undetermined record of previous violations of law. An act for which, alone, should have denied admittance. CNN gets all puppet-y again. It is not fear: [...] To describe the disaster of Springfield, Ohio that is caused by forcing a town that has 58,000 people to take in 20,000 additional people, no matter what race they are. It stresses housing, hospitals, schools, police, and all city resources. [¶] To tell the public that the border was very secure until Biden and Harris decided to open it up on day one with a massive number of executive orders. [¶] To tell the public that criminals and terrorists are coming across the border in record numbers. [¶] To tell the public that crime by illegals is rising. [¶] To tell the people that 300,000 trafficked children have disappeared from federal scrutiny and to talk about child-, sex-, and drug-trafficking caused by the open borders. [¶] To describe the disaster of Springfield, Ohio that is caused by forcing a town that has 58,000 people to take in 20,000 additional people, no matter what race they are. It stresses housing, hospitals, schools, police, and all city resources. It is idiotic, at best, when the media and other Democrats say that these 20,000 people help the town because they need workers. How many people are stupid enough to believe that a town of 58,000 has 20,000 job openings. Almost all of these people will end up being dependent on the government while greatly harming the long term residents. The Corrupt Economics of Immigration. [Scroll down] For example, libertarians support free trade without recognizing that it is impossible for our manufacturers to compete against subsidized imports, manufactured in the absence of environmental and labor standards applicable in the United States. Libertarians support the abolition of residential zoning laws while doing nothing to stop the proliferating array of subsidies and tax incentives that artificially incentivize developers to demolish homes to build apartments. And libertarians only tepidly challenge urban containment policies that prevent new suburb developments on open land outside of existing cities. In what is perhaps some odd bid to find common ground with socialists, they have even claimed the infrastructure needed for urban expansion would "subsidize the car." When it comes to immigration, libertarians call for open borders without first insisting on a critical prerequisite: immigrants should not receive government subsidies or special benefits. They should be able to support themselves immediately through private employment. It's not just Springfield, Haitians [are] being flown to small towns nationwide. Haitians are not just arriving in Springfield, Ohio, but also in small rural towns nationwide as a result of several Biden-Harris administration policies. Since fiscal 2021, more than 485,000 Haitian illegal border crossers, a record, have been reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The overwhelming majority were reported this fiscal year, nearly 216,000, compared to 48,727 in fiscal 2021. Since fiscal 2021 through August, the majority have been apprehended at the southwest border of nearly 262,000, followed by nearly 221,000 nationwide and nearly 2,300 at the northern border, according to the data. 10 Million [Additional] Illegal Aliens: What Is to Be Done? President Trump has spoken of "mass deportations" of the more than ten million illegal aliens who have flooded our country under Biden-Harris. [...] Candidate Trump needs to present a credible plan to repatriate these people in an orderly, efficient, humane, and politically palatable way. This can be done by arranging deportations in cohorts according to immigrants' harm and costs to our nation. We start with the criminal elements: murderers, rapists, drunk drivers, drug-dealers, and professional shoplifters. By legal and administrative means, illegals who have been involved in criminal activity will be prioritized in "grab" lists and subject to arrest and detention. Being flight risks, they must be denied bail, then given a simple choice: be prosecuted, or be deported with the understanding that re-entry will be a mandatory five-year felony. The point is to get bad actors out of the country. As this roundup begins, we can expect many to migrate (they're good at that!) to blue-state jurisdictions, where they will undoubtedly wreak havoc. Kamala Harris Supports Continuing 'Migrant' Flights That Have Imported 1.3 Million. CHNV stands for "Processes for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans," a program that provides — for some reason — expedited legal entry into the United States for people from these countries. [...] A cynical and suspicious observer may well speculate that the reason for this is to import an entire class of new voters who, once naturalized — or perhaps (let's say this very softly) even sooner — will be reliable voters for the party that welcomed them in and provided the cornucopia of free stuff, that is, the Democrats. Granted these countries are some pretty miserable places and we can't really blame people for wanting to get while the gettin's good. But since when is it America's responsibility to take in everyone from every third-world cesspit on the planet? Harris and Biden [are] Putting Illegal Aliens First and Americans Last. The MAGA or "America First" agenda places Americans at the head of the line, providing economic opportunity. Harris and Biden's "America Last" agenda favors securing other countries' borders while leaving America's borders wide open. Economic opportunity is going to foreigners, not Americans. [...] While Acting President Harris sends those following the law, playing by the rules, to the back of an extremely long line, she has opened America's borders to hordes of unvetted aliens, many illiterate and unskilled, carrying infectious or psychiatric diseases, some with criminal records and bad intentions, and even some terrorists. All to the tune of 10,000 known crossings a day. How many gotaways or unknown crossers a day? 50 percent more? Double the known crossers? We don't know what we don't know. Just who can we trust in this election? Borders are not just boundaries, they are the law in a sovereign nation. Everyone knows the Biden-Harris administration has allowed nearly 10 million illegals to enter the country unvetted. No one knows how many crossed the border uncounted (got-aways), but some estimates exceed another 10 million. All along, administration officials have been telling us the border is secure. They have been lying. This administration has also been flying migrants from other countries directly into American cities. That's what the CBP One app is all about. They call it a humanitarian parole program, but its aim is to keep the numbers down at the border to avoid the horrible optics. It also provides Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, which makes them legal immigrants, hands them work permits, and skews the numbers. It serviced Afghanis after the U.S. evacuation, Ukrainians after the Russian invasion, and was later expanded to citizens of Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua. Heard anything lately about migrants from any of those countries? And what are the consequences? One is crime, rampant crime, and much of it violent. Biden Has Flown In 530,000 "Migrants" Under Illegal Parole Program. If Americans need a reason to elect former President Donald Trump on November 5, the latest data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection just might provide it. The Biden-Harris administration has flown in more than half a million "migrants" from Colombia, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela under its illegal CHNV program. Fox News' Bill Melugin provided word from Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The agency doesn't have the manpower to deport the penniless illegals. Now, should any of those "migrants" commit rape — such as the two Haitian Biden "migrants" accused of the crime — Democrats want them to stay in the country. More than 150 Democrats voted this week to permit "migrant" sex fiends to avoid deportation. [Tweet] Looks Like Trump Again Was Right About The Haitians In Springfield Eating Dogs, Cats, Ducks And Geese. Listen to another resident give a detailed account on how Haitians are not only hunting pets and pond birds, but the police are involved and have reports of it all. [Video clip] Allegations Surface That Springfield Ohio Mayor Rob Rue is Profiting Off Renting Out Properties to Haitian Immigrants. An investigation conducted by the Buckeye Reporter has uncovered a troubling conflict of interest involving Rob Rue, the mayor of Springfield, Ohio. The report alledges that Mayor Rue has been profiting directly from the ongoing Haitian crisis by renting out properties he owns to Haitian immigrants. This practice raises serious concerns among citizens who fear that the mayor is favoring low-wage, government-subsidized foreign residents over the local population. According to the Buckeye Reporter, a 37-year-old man who identified himself as "Works," has confirmed that he and other imported Haitians are living in buildings owned by Rue. "Works" mentioned that he resides in an apartment situated on a property valued at approximately $1.3 million. X user Arynne Wexler shared public records that corroborate these claims, showing that Rue owns several properties through his business, Littleton Properties of Springfield LLC. Notably, many of these properties were acquired in 2021, coinciding with an influx of foreign residents into Springfield. Ramaswamy Just Blew the Lid Off Left-Wing Media's Cover-Up of Springfield, Ohio. Former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy hosted a town hall on Thursday in Springfield, Ohio, where over 15,000 Haitian immigrants have invaded the small town with a population of just 56,000. [Advertisement] During the town hall, hundreds of people gathered to express concerns for their safety despite left-leaning networks dismissing claims that Haitian immigrants are overrunning the Ohio town. Reports also say the immigrants are reportedly also eating and sacrificing animals. One woman told Ramaswamy that an illegal immigrant chased her and her daughter down the street with a machete, adding that police failed to respond to her calls or check in on the crime. "So, that's how you know there's no crime in Springfield because no one is reporting it," the woman said. Mad to the Max. Some election crime is just in your face. The open border policy may have many nefarious angles, but an obvious one is stuffing the voter rolls with live bodies that have names attached, which can be bundled and harvested in ballot form like so many sheaves of oats. No one is fooled by this. Yet the Democratic Party has its heavy hand on the lever of power that controls entry to the country. [...] The remedies for this dastardly mess are pretty simple and straightforward: return to paper ballots cast on one election day, requiring voter ID that amounts to proof of citizenship. Everything else — computerized (hackable) ballot-counting machines, mail-in ballots, early voting, automatic voter registration by means of other government transactions that have nothing to do with elections (motor-voter acts) — only insures election fraud. Sane people do not seek to defraud themselves. Haitians eat cats and mud — the only question is where. Two countries share the Caribbean island that is called Hispaniola. The west side is Haiti. The east side is Dominican Republic (which shares practically nothing with Haiti except that island, but it's racist to point that out). "Failed state" is an understatement to describe Haiti. It's one of the poorest, most dangerous places on earth. You can scarcely call it a nation. Gangs run the government. It's been eight years since the last election in Haiti. But no matter; the elections are all rigged anyway. The State Department has honored Haiti with a "Level 4 Do Not Travel" advisory. That's the worst advisory they give. It puts Haiti in the company of Iran and North Korea. Cover-Up: Ex-Border Patrol Chief Says He Was Instructed By Biden-Harris Admin To Hide Terrorist Encounters. In a scathing revelation before Congress, former San Diego Sector Border Patrol Chief Aaron Heitke accused the Biden-Harris administration of covering up a sharp rise in encounters with suspected terrorists at the U.S.-Mexico border. During a House Committee on Homeland Security hearing titled "A Country Without Borders: How Biden-Harris' Open-Borders Policies Have Undermined Our Safety and Security," Heitke said he was muzzled from releasing critical information on the number of Special Interest Aliens (SIAs) — individuals with known or suspected ties to terrorism — apprehended in California. "I was told I could not release any information on this increase in SIAs or mention any of the arrests," Heitke testified. "The administration was trying to convince the public there was no threat at the border." Biden-Harris border official claims cover-up as he was allegedly ordered to hide release of migrants. The former Border Patrol official responsible for securing nearly 1,000 miles of America's frontier has charged that the Biden-Harris administration intentionally covered up the ongoing migrant crisis. Ex-San Diego Sector Chief Agent Aaron Heitke told members of the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday that the White House repeatedly tried to "quiet the border-wide crisis" by shielding information from the press and concealing crossings by dangerous migrants with terror ties. "I had to release illegal aliens by the hundreds each day into communities who could not support them," testified Heitke, who retired in summer 2023 and appeared voluntarily before the panel. Fed chair Powell says illegals are why unemployment is rising. If you import 20 million people into an economy that doesn't have room for them, don't be surprised if unemployment goes up. That's not Donald Trump speaking, it's what Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, a guy who tends to side with Joe Biden, found when he cut interest rates 50 basis points yesterday. It's also basic economics. It's Not Just Haitians In Springfield. Mass Immigration Is Destroying The American Nation. [Scroll down] So the question is, what happens to a community like Springfield, population 60,000, when some 20,000 Haitians suddenly show up? What happens is that it destroys the community and transforms it into something else, decidedly less American. I don't mean merely that an influx of unassimilated immigrants from a place like Haiti brings a host of serious social problems and steep costs. Those problems have now been widely reported, from the public schools crowded with non-English-speaking students, to the housing shortage, to the strain on the healthcare system. All these social costs aren't canceled out by the fact that some of them have gotten jobs at local businesses. This of course is one of the major leftist and libertarian talking points in the immigration debate, that immigrants grow our economy by doing jobs Americans won't do or can't do, and that more immigration just means more prosperity for everyone, regardless of who is coming here or why. Illegals are drastically altering the landscape of public schools. Data doesn't lie, and illegal alien minors are drastically altering the landscape of the public schools in Chicago. According to an in-depth analysis published at Chalkbeat, a nonprofit news organization with a stated mission to report on America's school system, particularly the way it impacts those who have "historically lacked access to a quality education," the demographics of the Chicago public schools is rapidly changing, and I'd argue, not for the better. While the number of (alien) Hispanic students skyrockets, blacks rapidly diminish. Where once there were experienced educators, now there are progressive activists, translators, and social workers who delegate dollars to students based on other needs in extracurricular areas of their lives like housing and food. And, around a quarter of the pupils don't even speak English. Nearly 530,000 migrants came to US 'legally,' paroled into US under controversial Biden program: CBP. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released its latest statistics Monday, showing nearly 530,000 migrants flew into the U.S. and were paroled into the country as part of the Biden administration's controversial mass parole program for those migrating from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (CHNV). The August report includes data after the Department of Homeland Security resumed processing new Advance Travel Authorizations (ATAs) in the parole process for the CHNV program. After an internal review, DHS implemented additional safeguards to the CHNV processes, including the rigorous enhanced vetting of U.S.-based supporters and the inclusion of biographic and biometric screening. No, Ohio Haitians are not legal. Interesting how hard Kamala and Joe supported vicious race hoaxes, like the Jussie Smollet fiasco, yet they paid no political price for it. Certainly, the media was happy to cover for them. Yet, Trump and Vance have rightfully highlighted the genuine mess Biden and Harris have made in the small town of Springfield, Ohio, but are treated as if it was all made up. Citizens there have been overrun by 20,000 or more recent Haitian arrivals. Almost none of them can safely drive an automobile, so we get events like the recent school bus manslaughter. The place does not have the jobs or resources to support such people, few of whom speak English or have any kind of education. Townsfolk are reporting Haitians taking waterfowl from the local parks, missing pets, and now there is a viral video of some kind of animals (chickens? cats?) being grilled in the Dayton backyard of some African migrants. The Ohio governor, a smarmy Kasich-type, Mike DeWine, has been at pains to say there is nothing to see here. Apparently, police in Springfield and Dayton just dismissed all reports, did nothing and are now content to say "case closed." Watch As An Immigrant Plucks The Feathers From A Pigeon He Caught In The Streets Of Boston. I wonder what he's going to do to that pigeon next? [Video clip] Illegal Venezuelan Who Made Viral Videos Teaching Others How To Come To America Illegally Is Ordered To Be Deported. 27-year-old Venezuelan illegal Leonel Moreno was ordered to be deported by an Ohio immigration judge, according to Homeland Security sources. Moreno also waved around stacks of cash on social media, claiming they were US government handouts. He crossed the southern border illegally into Eagle Pass, Texas, on April 23, 2022. Moreno was released but missed his required ICE check-ins, leading to his arrest in Columbus, Ohio, in March. [Video clip] It's pretty clear where the government stands on the situation in Springfield OH. Throughout the US, there are reports of pets and other animals being killed and everything points towards illegals being brought in by our government. In Springfield, OH, we've got people being killed by Haitians driving cars (apparently they are being given licenses with no tests) in addition to property damage. We've got a video of a Haitian doing a 'Biden' on an 11 year old in a convenience store via Moonbattery). Renters are being displaced by Haitians because landlords are raising rents to the point where regular people can't afford them — but the federal government can. It's pretty clear that US citizens are being sidelined and terrorized and they are understandably upset. But they are still trying to be 1st world citizens and work with the system (which won't come down in their favor). [...] It's the same post-9/11 playbook, writ large. Any protest against the actions, yes, the ACTIONS, of these invaders is seen by the government as a hate crime. Picture 20,000 Haitians moving into Mayberry. If these two quaint fictional towns were suddenly overrun by 20,000 uninvited Haitians it might provide some humorous television, but imagine if it really happened to an American town. But it has. The name of the town is Springfield, Ohio, and the story is not very funny. It is happening in Springfield and it could happen, if we are not careful, anywhere in America. Can you imagine thousands of poor immigrants from a third world country, who speak only a foreign language and have a different culture, simply moving in en masse? You see, this is not about cats and dogs and it is not my intention to disparage the Haitian people who come from one of the poorest nations on our planet. This is about the Democrat party. If I didn't know any better, I would say they are trying to flood our country with foreigners in an attempt to completely change the demographics of the U.S. citizenry and win this and all future elections. The Editor says... Immigration: The Issue That Could Decide the Election. There are several great issues on which the presidential election (and Congressional elections, too) should turn. [...] Finally we come to immigration. This, at least, is a topic of debate in the election campaign, even if it centers on dogs, cats, geese and ducks. As in so many other instances, Donald Trump says something that isn't quite right — Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, are eating dogs and cats — and the Left goes bonkers attacking him. In fact, Haitians in Springfield are eating geese, but not, as far as we know, dogs and cats. But cats are being barbecued in a nearby town. And, anyway, what the Hell are 20,000 Haitian immigrants doing in an Ohio town of 40,000? Conservatives have generally distinguished between legal immigration (we like it) and illegal immigration (we don't like it, and anyway, it is illegal). But that basic distinction has largely become moot. The Biden/Harris administration has pretty much legalized illegal immigration. Those 20,000 Haitians are here legally under the Temporary Protected Status program, although we all know that "temporary" means "forever." Nearly 500 Elected Officials Call for MORE Migrants to Be Admitted. The Great Springfield Cat Controversy is a gift that keeps on giving to the Trump campaign. Pundits and journalists don't see it, of course, because what counts as important is very different from what Trump and Trump-curious voters care about. The intellectual class ridicules not just Trump but also people who are worried about the immigrant invasion of the US, but ordinary Americans feel for the people of Springfield and Aurora, CO. [Tweet] Cats and dogs aside, Biden-Harris unleashed disaster on Springfield. There is an old saying in the journalism business that goes, "if it bleeds, it leads," which means that once violence occurs a story gets much hotter. We can now add "if it mews, it is news," to the list of Fourth Estate expressions. I should tell you right at the top here that I am not going to solve the Mystery Of The Missing Pets. Frankly, at this point Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot could team up and the details would still be dicey. And anyway, it is not really the point. Whatever the scale of the threat to our furry friends is, this salacious story has rightfully focused the nation's eyes on Springfield's otherwise ignored migrant and economic woes wrought by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. "When I was young, there was a bar on every corner, we'd hear music at one place, another would be a disco," Teri, a lifetime resident in her 60s who works at the only hotel in downtown Springfield told me. "Today, it's completely different." California May Offer Discounted Cellphone Service to Illegal Aliens. The sanctuary state of California may soon offer discounted cellphone service to low-income foreign nationals who do not have Social Security Numbers (SSNs), including illegal aliens. A proposal before the California Public Utilities Commission would open up the state's "LifeLine" program, which subsidizes phone bills for low-income Californians, to residents who do not have SSNs, including illegal aliens. "... the California Universal LifeLine Telephone Service Program (California LifeLine) should extend eligibility to Californians without a Social Security Number (SSN). This decision establishes a process for Californians without an SSN to enroll in California LifeLine," the proposal reads. The Editor says... Trump Announces Plans to Keep Illegal Aliens From Receiving Federal Housing Subsidies. Former President Donald Trump announced plans to keep illegal immigrants from receiving or renting government-funded housing. On Thursday, Trump said that if elected, he would ban illegal immigrants from receiving home mortgages and renting apartments in federally subsidized apartment buildings. He would also include conditions in their rental agreements, such as requiring people to show proof of citizenship or legal residency. "When I return to the White House, we will require all companies receiving federal housing subsidies to verify citizenship," Trump said. "We're going to make sure that it's a legal residency as a condition of their rental agreements." Trump promised not to let illegal immigrants drive up the cost of buying and renting homes for Americans. The former president's proposal also includes banning banks from handing out home loans to illegal aliens. Not Just Ohio: [A] Small Pennsylvania Town [is] Also Mired in [a] Tidal Wave of Haitian Migrants. Charleroi, Pennsylvania, like Springfield, Ohio, is also experiencing a growing number of problems from a tidal wave of Haitian migrants flooding into their small town. While the media focuses on the woes of Springfield, Ohio, and its recent flood of Haitian migrants putting pressure on the small town, other small towns are experiencing similar problems. One of them is Charleroi, Pennsylvania, nestled on the banks of the Monongahela River south of Pittsburgh in the western part of the state. [Advertisement] According to the activist group America-2100, the rural town has suffered a 2,000-percent increase in its population of Haitian migrants — and crime and traffic altercations have soared as a result. [Advertisement] Residents have been flooding social media with reports that migrants are attacking people on the street and mugging them, stealing cars, and ending up in traffic accidents throughout the area. [Tweet] In England: The Editor says... And now, to reiterate the obvious... The Cat Eaters of Ohio. [Video clip] We spoke with the author of the video, who asked to remain anonymous but confirmed its time, location, and authenticity. He told us that he was picking up his son last summer, when he noticed the unusual situation. "It was some Africans that stay right next door to my kid's mother," he said. "This African dude next door had the d··· cat on the grill." We then identified the home by matching it to the visuals in the video and cross-referencing them with the eyewitness. When we knocked on the door of the first unit, a family answered, telling us they were from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and that all of the surrounding units were occupied by other African migrants. [...] According to the original witness, whose son was friendly with the neighbors, there was no doubt about what happened last summer. "They was barbecuing the d··· cat!" he said. His son's mother had previously witnessed the family butchering a mammal on the street, but the cats on the barbeque put him in such a state of shock, he felt the need to film it. Democrats' Immigration Crisis Pushes Ohioans To The Breaking Point: 'Who's Protecting Us?' Springfield, Ohio is a blue-collar town of roughly 60,000 residents with a story that's familiar to dozens of Rust Belt communities across the Midwest that have been transformed by job loss, opioids, and now, open migration. Schuler's Bakery greets visitors on the south side of town, not far from the interstate, as a relic of resilience having withstood the challenges faced by a declining economy for decades. [...] The horizon from the bakery's front door introduces visitors to a dilapidated community now presented with traffic hazards as Haitians crowd the streets and parking lots of a Rust Belt community turned into Little Haiti. "They don't know how to drive," a local tow truck driver on the southwest side told The Federalist. "They don't know how to go by our rules." The tow truck operator named David declined to offer a last name out of fear of reprisal to his business, but he made clear that the influx of newcomers has brought more havoc than money to the depressed blue-collar community that was already struggling. Oregon: Sorry About Registering All Those Illegals to Vote. One of the surest ways to be attacked by the progressive left is to raise the issue of illegal migrants voting in American elections. [...] It turns out that in just the past few years, Oregon has registered literally hundreds of Joe Biden's illegal migrants to vote and at least some of them cast ballots illegally. So how did that happen and what can be done about it? It turns out that the state opened the door to making it quite easy for illegals to register to vote thanks to the DMV and the rules put in place by the state's Democratic majority. [...] It may seem easy enough to shrug off a few hundred people registering illegally and a few of them voting in a state with a population of more than four million people. But this red flag, along with so many others just like it around the country comes with a very large caveat that frequently goes unmentioned. Those are just the people they caught. How many others simply "fell through the cracks" or were even directed to register by progressive social activists? Small Pennsylvania town up in arms over plan to house hundreds of migrants in abandoned school. A small Pennsylvania town is up in arms over a proposal to turn an abandoned Civil War-era school into a shelter for hundreds of migrant families — with residents and lawmakers vowing to put a stop to the "foreign invasion." News of the plan to turn the former Scotland School for Veterans Children building in Franklin County into a migrant shelter surfaced publicly this week after the owners of the sprawling property recently started making inquiries about its potential usage, local officials said. The Greene Township Board of Supervisors said a representative from USA Up Star, an Indiana-based disaster response company that currently owns the 185-acre property, had reached out to them last month to ask if local zoning laws allowed for the campus to be converted into a shelter. Trump Should Go to Springfield. Everybody is talking about Springfield, OH. While the mainstream media is focused on the controversy over cats and dogs being eaten (unproven, but not impossible), there is no question that residents of the city are suffering under the weight of too many Haitian migrants being crammed into a city too small and underfunded to absorb them. To put the problem of the residents into perspective, Mayor Adams has said that New York City is being destroyed by the influx of about 100,000 migrants, which amounts to one for every 830 New Yorkers. Springfield is dealing with an influx of one Haitian for every three residents. Think of that. One out of every four residents of the city is a Haitian migrant imported over the past four years. These people don't speak the language, get government subsidies, are taking housing from local residents, and have been driving down wages. There are also undisputed reports of Haitians decapitating geese in the park and disputed reports of pets disappearing and perhaps being eaten. [Tweet] Springfield Ohio Had 60,000 Residents Until 15,000 Migrant Haitians Showed Up — Now the Governor Sends State Police to Help with Crime Wave. The population of Springfield, Ohio was 59,000 just before Joe Biden and Kamala Harris sent 15,000 Haitian migrants there. Now, with 25% of the community throwing juju bones, eating cats, dogs, swans, geese and pond ducks' things have become sketchy. Corporate media have been saying there is no truth to the issues raised by Springfield residents. However, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has now announced he is sending state troopers to assist in the new crime wave plaguing the community. Ohio Gov Takes Action After Springfield Residents Speak Out About 20,000 Haitian Migrant Influx. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine (R) is sending law enforcement and millions of dollars to Springfield, Ohio, after residents' public grievances about the influx of 20,000 Haitian migrants to their community garnered national attention. DeWine said Tuesday that state troopers will be sent to help address the growing reckless driving issue, largely sparked by the migrant influx. He'll also be dedicating $2.5 million toward health care. Wait times for health care have significantly increased for residents due to the migrants. "I want the people of Springfield and Clark County to know that as we move forward, we will continue to do everything we can to help the community deal with this surge of migrants," DeWine said. "The federal government has not demonstrated that they have any kind of plan to deal with the issue. We will not walk away." Confirmed: The Haitian Invaders Are Eating Geese in Ohio. Springfield, Ohio, is now on the frontlines of the immigration wars. The city, awash with tens of thousands of Haitian migrants, has become the center of national attention after stories of pets, geese, and ducks. It's triggered liberals to no end, with CNN hosts and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) blowing gaskets over the story. The media has outright said the claim is debunked — not so much. The report about pets being consumed needs to be verified. Thus far, local law enforcement says there's no evidence. Still, regarding geese and ducks, there are 911 recordings and reports from August confirming the Haitians are eating the birds. Trump says illegal immigration is destroying US economy, references Springfield and Aurora. Former President Donald Trump said that illegal immigration is part of the reason why the economy and cost of living is bad for all Americans during the second presidential debate. "We have millions of people pouring into our country from prisons and jails, from mental institutions and insane asylums," Trump said. "And they're coming in and they're taking jobs that are occupied right now by African Americans and Hispanics and also unions. Unions are going to be affected very soon." He then went on to reference the towns of Springfield, Ohio, and Aurora, Colorado. Aurora made headlines when videos circulated online of Venezuelan gangs occupying apartment buildings in Colorado. Springfield in Ohio has similarly made news amid reports of Haitian migrants wreaking havoc on the small town. "You see what's happening with towns throughout the United States," Trump said. "You look at Springfield, Ohio. You look at Aurora in Colorado. They are taking over the towns. They're taking over buildings. They're going in violently. These are the people that she and Biden led into our country, and they're destroying our country. They're dangerous." Biden Admin Paying Ft. Worth Catholic Charity $1 Billion For Illegal Aliens? Back in the dim mists of time (the 1980s or 90s), every time a Republican would try to earmark money for a religious charity for non-religious services (say, rehabilitating felons or running an adoption agency), Democrats would throw a fit and scream "Church and state! First amendment!" As always, those same rules never apply when they're the ones doing it, as the Biden Administration has been funneling money into a Fort Worth Catholic Charity help import their precious illegal aliens. [...] None of the Democratic Party's "let's cram as many illegal aliens into the country as possible so we can amnesty them to vote for Democrats" is beneficial for the American taxpayer. Republican in congress should start an immediate investigation into the organizations receiving these funds, and a second Trump Administration should eliminate all line item spending for national or international NGOs until those designed to violate American sovereignty are weeded out. Kamala Harris Is The Real Threat To Our Constitutional Republic. Our constitutional order also depends on a secure border, for no country can survive if it cannot — or will not — repeal an invasion. Yet, the Biden-Harris Administration has shown it has no regard for the citizens of this country, putting the interests of foreign aliens illegally entering the United States above those of Americans. The massive influx of illegal aliens threatens our country in multiple ways, from the physical violence inflicted by criminals to potential threats from terrorists who enter through our porous border, to disease and overrun health care systems, to the financial devastation caused by the flood of migrants. And Harris promises more of the same, while Trump instead has committed to securing the border and deporting those here illegally. Ohio Grandfather Says His Grandson Is The Only Child Who Speaks English In His Class. Ohio grandfather says his grandson needs an interpreter for preschool because he is the only child who speaks English. It's crazy how much a country can change in 4 years. "My daughter enrolls my 4-year-old grandson into preschool last week. And they have a little meet and greet." "I live in a small town in Ohio. So she goes, takes him down to the meet and greet. They tell her that she has to hire a translator with her own money in order to send him to preschool because he's the only student who doesn't speak Spanish." "Can you believe that? Can't go to preschool because he doesn't speak Spanish." [Video clip] Immigration's Double-Edged Sword. Border security isn't merely about stopping illegal immigration; it's about sovereignty, rule of law, and national security. Conservatives advocate for a strong border not out of hostility but from a belief in orderly, legal immigration. The current situation, where thousands cross illegally, undermines the legal process, rewards lawlessness, and strains our resources. A secure border is not just a physical barrier but a statement of control over who enters our country, ensuring that those who come do so through a process that respects our laws and national interests. More Fat Checks for NYC Illegal Migrants. You won't need to roam very far on the streets of any of New York City's five boroughs to get an earful from legal residents about the situation in the city's shelters for illegal migrants. Even among traditionally liberal Democrats, people want the shelters to be cleared out and returned to their normal functions as hotels, public housing units, or public municipal facilities. The overflowing migrant shelters have caused nothing but problems, running down property values, promoting higher crime rates, and eliminating homeless housing for legitimate homeless citizens, including American veterans. Perhaps now, however, the municipal government has heard their cries from the wilderness and will move to begin emptying out those shelters. How will they do that, you might ask? If you guessed that they would hand out even more massive checks to the migrants to help them move into "permanent housing," give yourself a cookie. Shining Cities On Hills Take Centuries to Build but Can be Destroyed Quickly. The basic elements of Western culture — of American culture — are not found in DNA; they are found in communities, in the shared history of the citizens, and in the nation's laws. Large numbers of immigrants from nations with different mores can be destabilizing. From crime to the hundreds of billions of dollars necessary to support illegals to the strains on services such as education and healthcare to the dollars sent back home, illegals harm America. Just this past week, we've seen reports of Venezuelan gangs taking over neighborhoods in Colorado and unleashing chaos in Dallas, while 75% of arrests in midtown Manhattan are illegals. The only solution is deportation. By the millions. It will be ugly, it will be difficult, it will take courage in the face of withering media assaults and Democrat lamentations, but it is necessary. If we do not build a wall and send the illegals home, it will be seen as an open invitation to the entire world to cross our border. Attention, Childless Cat Ladies: Illegals are coming for your pets. In Springfield, Ohio, there are reports that Haitian migrants, including illegals, are out eating people's pet cats. And dogs. And seagulls. And ducks in ponds. And geese in public parks. And horses. And that's starting to bother the locals: [Ten Tweets.] We all know what dog abuse allegations did to Mitt Romney's and Kristi Noem's political prospects. People like their pets and work hard to protect them. They are distressed when they lose them. And most important, they have a right to them, it's called "the pursuit of happiness." The pets have certain rights, too. If their owners were to kill them, they'd be in jail for animal cruelty, as well as pariahs in the larger society, too, which migrants seem to be escaping from. The old one set of rules for us, one set of rules for them seems operative. As for ducks and geese, these creatures aren't pets, but they are in the parks for all to enjoy, not just those who want to roast them for their personal dinners. Nor are they expected to serve as meat for migrants. When migrants come down with parasites from eating that uninspected "meat," someone will need to pay their medical bills. You can just guess who. Residents Of Springfield Ohio Beg For Help After 20,000 Haitians Overwhelm City, Eat Local Wildlife. The city of Springfield, Ohio — population 60,000, has been overwhelmed by roughly 20,000 Haitian illegal migrants, who flocked to the city — exacerbating a 'significant housing crisis' according to city officials, and eating pets and wildlife according to locals. During an Aug. 27 City Commission meeting, one local resident said that Haitians were "in the park grabbing ducks, cutting the heads off, and eating them." [Tweet with video clip] The Editor says... Haitian Migrants In Springfield Ohio Are Killing Pets And Ducks From Parks For Food. [A] Springfield, Ohio man says Haitian illegals are decapatating ducks from parks & eating them, accuses commission members of getting paid off for allowing it. "They're in the park grabbing up ducks by their neck and cutting their head off and walking off with 'em and eating them." [Video clip] This Small Ohio Town Is Being Overrun By illegal Haitian Immigrants. Every state is a border state under the Biden-Harris Administration — even a small town in Ohio with a population of just 56,000. Springfield, Ohio, is making headlines after it was reported that illegal immigrants — specifically Haitian immigrants, are overrunning the small town. Springfield City Commission officials say an estimated 4,000 to 7,000 Haitians have arrived in recent years. During a City Commission meeting last year, community members warned of an invasion of Haitians and the crime they would bring — and they weren't wrong. This week, a Springfield resident told the mayor that she "can't take it anymore," explaining that Haitian immigrants are squatting on her front lawn and harassing her and her husband daily. [Tweet] Great Replacement Job Shock: 1.3 Million Native-Born Americans Just Lost Their Jobs, Replaced By 635,000 Immigrants. At the start of the year, many months after we first pointed out that the biggest untold story of the US labor market was the "great replacement" of native born workers with foreign-born workers (most of whom we subsequently learned were illegal aliens), we asked how is it, that the ongoing replacement (because that's what it is) of US workers is "not the biggest political talking point right now" considering that "since October 2019, native-born US workers have lost 1.4 million jobs; over the same period foreign-born workers have gained 3 million jobs[.]" [...] Which brings us to today's jobs report... where the native vs foreign-born debate just exploded! U.S. Army Allegedly Caught Protecting 'Foreign Invaders' at NYC Hotel? Citizen Confronts Military Presence and Demands Answers!. A heated confrontation erupted outside the Walcott Hotel in New York City after a citizen journalist spotted U.S. Army personnel on-site again. Last week, citizen journalist Jason Goodman, founder of Crowdsource the Truth, captured footage revealing a U.S. Army presence at The Wolcott Hotel in New York City, which has been controversially converted into a mega-shelter for migrants. The Wolcott Hotel, a historic establishment on West 31st Street, closed its doors to regular guests in 2023 due to the ongoing migrant crisis and concerns related to the COVID-19 Delta variant, as reported by the New York Post. In footage captured by Goodman, he can be heard confronting the soldiers, questioning, "Is the army turning this thing into a migrant shelter? Why are you guys here? It's a hotel. Why is the army at this hotel?" The tension escalated when one soldier bluntly responded, "We're here at the request of the State of New York." Mexico's bank card. We have posted in the past about remittances going from the U.S. to Mexico. Much of it is family oriented or someone sending his mom or often wife a weekly transfer. I recall when it was delivered by hand by people who would literally carry the cash down. They call these people "mulas" and they were like money agents. Now they usually put the money in a bank card up here or wire the money. It's a big business and a huge part of the Mexican welfare system. Let's check the latest numbers: ["]Despite July's decline, the total value of remittance income in the first seven months of 2024 totaled 36.94 billion dollars, representing a 2.9 percent annual increase from the same period in 2023. Additionally, BBVA Mexico's economic studies department projected that remittances for the year will reach 66.5 billion dollars, constituting 3.7 percent of the national GDP and supporting more than 1.7 million households and 6.1 million people.["] That's six million people, or larger than many U.S. states or several Central American countries. The argument is that these people work here, make the money and decide to help their relatives. And that's true. How is this helping Mexico? All-Male Migrant Center to Open Up 'Just Feet Away' from School, Stunning Locals. The legacy of President Joe Biden's administration will be rampant inflation, humiliation in the Middle East, funding a war in Europe, and a catastrophic border crisis. On that last note, Fox News reports that parents sending their kids back to school in New York City are finding an unpleasant surprise as an all-male migrant center opened in April "just feet away" from City Life Academy, a private Christian school for grades K-12. Irina Edelstein — a Brooklyn resident and mother of 3 — told "Fox & Friends First" there wasn't any communication with city officials or notice of the center. Cruz: Harris And Mexico's President In Cahoots To Flood U.S. With Millions Of Illegal Aliens. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that the president of Mexico and Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris are in cahoots to flood the U.S. with as many illegal aliens as possible to shift America's politics dramatically to the Left. Cruz made the remarks during his "Verdict" podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while talking about the vice president's disastrous policies which have wreaked havoc on the southern border — and on communities across the U.S. that have had to deal with the explosion in crime and weight of having to provide for millions of illegal aliens. "Kamala Harris wants more illegal immigrants in America," Cruz said. "Just about every single congressional Democrat in the Senate and the House, they want more illegal immigrants in America. They are actively encouraging, facilitating and accelerating the invasion at our southern border." Now That California Is Giving Illegals Free Money For Houses, Blacks Want Reparations Now. Sorry blacks. You have been officially replaced with millions of illegal aliens who will now be getting $150k+ for house down payments. [Video clip] Hmmm. They're using soldiers as police officers. That doesn't sound right. How Biden Skirted U.S. Law to Open Up the Border. [Scroll down] And, considering this is "official" government policy, U.S. taxpayers will financially shoulder whatever ongoing financial burdens the federal government has created with this policy initiative for years to come. We must carry forward to their logical outcomes the civic and social changes this horrific Biden Administration immigration policy will have: 1) upon future (and present) U.S. elections; 2) upon changes to Congressional representation (House seats) district-by-district once these tens of millions of "migrants" have been processed and effectively dispersed throughout the country upon their legal status being formally secured; 3) upon the already strained Social Security, Medicare, and broader healthcare marketplace; and 4) upon the public school system. There are so many other potentially unbearable outcomes ahead that don't meet the time constraints of this writing. Stopping Illegals from Voting. A handful of House Republicans are hoping to attach the new SAVE act to the upcoming continuing resolution to be passed September 30. The act would mandate all states to ensure that only U.S. citizens vote in the November elections. There is already such a law on the books, but because there is a lack of enforcement, there is little confidence that it will be followed. So why would anyone follow the new SAVE act? Mitch McConnell has already said he — and about 17 of his RINO cronies — are opposed to the SAVE act. So where does that leave us? How the migrant crisis drained $150 billion from taxpayers in a single year. The migrant crisis is more costly than Americans realize. Last year, US taxpayers shelled out some $150 billion in government services and support to help the 20 million illegal migrants in the country, according to a study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). And most of the cost is being borne by state and local governments. Biden-Harris Admin Reportedly Preparing To Resume Migrant Flight Program Plagued With Fraud. The Biden-Harris administration is reportedly preparing to resume a migrant flight program that was recently paused due to the discovery of rampant fraud. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) could resume a mass-parole program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans, more popularly known as CHNV, as soon as this week, NBC News reported. News of the program's possible restart comes less than a month after an internal audit discovering massive potential fraud prompted DHS officials to pause the program entirely. Fifth Circuit Affirms Illegal Aliens Do Not Have Second Amendment Rights. A three-judge panel for the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit affirmed Tuesday illegal aliens do not have Second Amendment rights. They did so by pointing to United States v. Portillo-Munoz, "which prohibits an illegal alien from possessing a firearm or ammunition." This prohibition was challenged by Defendant-Appellant Jose Paz Medina-Cantu, who was arrested July 13, 2022, for "possession of a firearm and ammunition as an illegal alien... and illegal reentry into the United States." Medina-Cantu argued that the firearm charges should be dismissed in light of Bruen (2022), but the Fifth Circuit explained that Bruen did not alter the prohibition contained in Portillo-Munoz. Democrats Are Freaking Out Over Republicans' Efforts to Stop Illegal Aliens From Voting. While the Trump campaign, Republican National Committee, Republican governors and Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill work to keep illegal immigrants and non-citizens from voting in U.S. elections, Democrats are fighting against their efforts and threatening to shut down the government over voter integrity legislation. [Tweet] "A conservative-backed push for stricter proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting could complicate efforts to avert a government shutdown next month. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have acknowledged a stopgap of some kind, also known as a continuing resolution (CR), will be necessary to keep the government funded past Sept. 30," The Hill reports. "But calls are growing among House conservatives to use that must-pass measure to force consideration of a partisan bill aimed at barring noncitizens from voting — laying the groundwork for a clash with the Democratic-led Senate, which would likely reject such a package." The question is, why? [Tweet] Massachusetts GOP demands information on state's $1 billion in 'secret' migrant spending: 'Veil of secrecy'. Massachusetts Republicans have submitted a formal request with the state's government for information on the alleged "$1 billion in secret migrant crisis spending" as the Bay State grapples with the migrant crisis. In a release from the state's Republican Party, MassGOP, the group demanded that Gov. Maura Healey's administration provides a detailed cost breakdown of the toll that the migrant crisis has caused for the state's residents. "The Healey-Driscoll Administration has shrouded nearly $1 billion spent in secrecy, leaving Massachusetts residents in the dark," MassGOP chair Amy Carnevale said in a statement. "They have withheld critical information on 600 incidents involving police, fire and EMT. Blocking journalists at every turn, the administration has obstructed the flow of information to the public." Judge blocks Biden program providing pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens. A federal judge in the Eastern District of Texas on Monday [8/26/2024] temporarily blocked a Biden administration program that allowed undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens to apply for green cards without leaving the U.S. The program, which the White House named Keeping Families Together, would provide a form of legal relief known as "parole in place" to undocumented spouses of American citizens who could prove they have lived in the U.S. continuously for at least 10 years and met a host of other requirements. Typically, undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens need to leave the country to apply for green cards and eventually citizenship, risking yearslong or even permanent separation from their families. Parole in place would have allowed them to apply without leaving the U.S. Interest free, no down payment home loans for illegals? California Democrat assemblymember Joaquin Arambula recently introduced Assembly Bill 1840, a piece of legislation that would extend a first-time homebuyer loan program to illegal aliens. Should the bill become law, illegal aliens would be eligible for a new program that would offer them a loan worth 20% of the purchase price of the property[,] with no monthly payments. And no interest would accrue on the loan. Ever. Instead, the loan would be paid back when the borrower either refinances or sells the property. Can't happen, you opine? Assembly Bill 1840 was approved by a key senate committee just this week. Yes, California is now one step closer to giving illegal aliens interest-free home loans with zero down payment. And preposterously generous repayment terms. New Biden-Harris program brings less border security, more marriage fraud. The Biden-Harris administration recently began taking applications for its Parole-in-Place program (PIP). Under this new scheme an illegal alien who: has lived in the U.S. for 10 years or more; married a U.S. citizen prior to June 17, 2024; and can show that his/her deportation would cause extreme hardship to their citizen spouse can apply for PIP. If this whole setup sounds fishy, that's because it is. To begin with, there is absolutely nothing in the immigration laws of the United States that says illegal aliens can magically obtain lawful status simply by marrying a U.S. citizen. In fact, the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) — the statute that establishes who may lawfully enter and remain in the U.S. — clearly states that foreign nationals who wish to obtain a green card must: 1) enter the country lawfully; and 2) maintain lawful status until they are approved as lawful permanent residents. Accordingly, this is nothing short of a Biden administration plot to create an immigration amnesty — something no president has been able to achieve properly, through legislation. Kamala Harris Outlines Amnesty for Millions of Illegal Aliens in DNC Speech. Vice President Kamala Harris outlined her plans to pass amnesty for 11 to 22 million illegal aliens in the United States during her speech on Thursday evening at the Democrat National Convention (DNC). "I know we can live up to our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants and reform our broken immigration system," Harris said on the final night of the DNC. "We can create an earned pathway to citizenship and secure our border." That "earned pathway to citizenship" is presumably designed to allow the nation's 11 to 22 million illegal aliens to apply for green cards, and eventually, secure naturalized American citizenship via legislation that remains opposed by the majority of lawmakers in the House and Senate. Report: Kamala Harris Oversaw Ten Million Illegal Immigrant Crossings During Her Tenure. Vice President Kamala Harris has overseen more than ten million known illegal border crossings while serving in the Biden administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data show. President Joe Biden gave Harris the authority to "lead our efforts" to curb mass illegal immigration in 2021 "because she's the most qualified person to do it"[.] [Tweet with video clip] When Harris was tasked with fixing the border crisis, monthly immigrant encounters "surpassed even the highest month" recorded under the Trump administration, the Republican National Committee's (RNC) research wing said Monday, citing CBP data. The Remarkable Transformation of Kamala Harris. During his first week in office, President Joe Biden signed executive orders that reversed Trump's border policies, particularly the Remain-in-Mexico measure. This opened the border to massive illegal immigration. Two months later, he put V.P. Harris in charge of the border crisis he had created, saying, "...Vice President [Harris] has agreed to lead our diplomatic efforts and our work ... to...enhance migration enforcement." Since Harris was placed in charge, there have been more than nine million illegal crossings, resulting in huge increases in human trafficking, drug deaths (especially fentanyl), fatalities among those attempting illegal entrance, terrorists gaining admission, and South American gang violence plaguing our cities, plus the massive expenses associated with transport, housing, food, and social services for nine million-plus illegals who also need (and receive) medical care. Americans in need are acutely aware that the billions spent on illegals are monies that won't be spent on them. Illegals Used Exact Same Answer on 10,000 Parole Applications, Rubber-Stamped Anyway. Fears of fraud have put the brakes on a Biden-Harris administration program that functions as a superhighway bringing immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela into America. A report from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services "to identify patterns, trends, and potential fraud indicators," led to the program, known as CHNV for the first initials of the nations covered, being put on pause, according to a report on the website of the Federation for American Immigration Reform. FAIR said that the report showed "the use of fake Social Security Numbers (SSNs), including SSNs of deceased individuals, and the use of false phone numbers." In fact, it said, "24 of the 1,000 most used sponsor SSNs belong to a deceased individual." Kamala calls for 'pathway to citizenship' for every illegal border crosser. How is it a pathway to citizenship for people who crossed into the U.S. illegally going to disincentize the desire of millions to come over without papers? Holding out citizenship to these lawbreakers is to reward the lawbreaking. After all, if you can come illegally and get a plethora of benefits even legal immigrants don't get, with a U.S. passport at the end of the rainbow, why would you do it any different? It's astonishing how little she [Kamala Harris] understands of human incentive, creating huge incentives to come to the states illegally and keep the surge going. The Massive Migrant Fraud Problem. For the past couple of years, the Biden/Harris administration has been flying literally hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants into the country after they used an online application program. The program applied to migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. This is the "humanitarian parole" system that we've heard so much about. Then, last month, Biden quietly suspended the program after an investigation revealed massive fraud having been committed during the application process. And "massive" is a bit of an understatement. A mountain of fraudulent applications was revealed, with the methods being used so obvious that they should have been immediately recognizable if anyone had bothered to look. As an editorial in the New York Post points out today, how did the White House not see this coming and why are they pushing to restart the program as soon as possible? Don't be surprised if Kamala shoots ahead in the polls. Another advantage Harris has is that her position as vice president might allow her to mitigate any responsibility for what happened during the Biden/Harris administration. Trump will not let her get away with this, but the elites and the media will. They will claim she has a completely spotless record since she didn't do it. Biden did. The eight million illegal aliens who came into this country by land, air, and sea are not because of anything Vice President Harris did, the press will claim. Moreover, some of those eight million will vote in the next presidential election because many of the swing states do not require proof of citizenship. In a tight election, which the next presidential election promises to be, you can be certain none of those illegals will vote for Trump, and they might be just enough to swing the election. This was the plan all along. Border Invasion Validation. Texas' theory that the state is undergoing an illegal alien invasion, as per Article I, Section 10, Clause 3 of the Constitution of the United States of America, due to the Biden Administrations willfully ignoring border control laws, just got some validation from the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. [...] Few in 2020 would have thought that Democrats were so determined to open the border to an invasion of illegal aliens that federal courts would be referencing Pancho Villa's raids in comparison, yet here we are. Gov. Abbott's Invasion Clause Declaration Backed by Fifth Circuit Judge in Preliminary Border Win. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit permitted the State of Texas' buoy barrier in the Rio Grande to remain in an en banc ruling Tuesday night, but an ancillary opinion from Judge James Ho endorses one of Gov. Greg Abbott's main border contentions: that the state is being "invaded" by illegal immigrants. Overall, the court's ruling was more procedural than substantive on the case's full scope — that the U.S. government's argument that the 1,000-foot stretch of water constitutes a "navigable water" under federal law is "unlikely to succeed" on its merits. But Ho's part-concurrence, part-dissent opinion takes a different route, fully endorsing the State of Texas' invocation of the much-debated "invasion clause." Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution reads: "No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay." Illegal Aliens Living in Georgia Apartment Complex Say They Are Registered to Vote. This is why the Biden-Harris Regime ferried in more than 15 million illegal aliens over the last 3 years. Illegal aliens living in a Georgia apartment complex told an undercover journalist that they are registered voters. The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project posted video from Muckraker.com of numerous illegal aliens admitting to being registered to vote and actually voting in elections. The undercover journalists visited the apartment complex Elliot Norcross in Norcross, Georgia and asked the occupants two questions: Are you a citizen? And are you registered to vote. Approximately 14% of the illegals said they are registered to vote. Elizabeth Warren wants to give citizenship to millions of illegal immigrants and she says Kamala "will get that done". Man, if you thought the Biden border was a disaster, wait until you get a load of the plans from Kamala and the radical left. Here's our old fiend Pocahon — I mean, uhh, Elizabeth Warren — telling Jake Tapper that she and Kamala will provide a pathway to citizenship for millions of illegals. [Tweet with video clip] Hey, it's not "rigging" an election if millions of new Democrats are suddenly granted citizenship, right? I mean, yes, it's fundamentally altering the demographics of the country in a cynical plot to assure Democrat electoral dominance for the foreseeable future. Greg Abbott: 'Kamala Harris Has Talked to Me Exactly Zero Times' About Border Crisis. Governor Greg Abbott criticizes Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden for their handling of the border crisis, citing a lack of communication and ineffective policies. He mentions that despite Biden assigning Harris to manage the border, she has neither engaged with him nor visited the most affected areas in Texas. [...] Abbott accuses the administration of causing national security risks by allowing terrorists to enter the country and failing to address the border's chaos. He highlights Texas's successful measures in reducing illegal immigration but warns of ongoing dangers due to federal policies. Former Border Patrol Leader Blames Harris for Border Crisis. Former Border Patrol leader Chris Clem has sharply criticized Vice President Kamala Harris over her handling of illegal immigration. Clem, who served for over 27 years with Border Patrol, said this week that Harris must take ownership of the crisis, stating, "You own this. You can't say, 'It's not my responsibility.'" "The numbers don't lie," Clem said, describing the current situation as "disastrous." Harris, appointed by Joe Biden to address the "root causes" of illegal immigration, is trying to disown the "border czar" title attributed to her by politicians and media alike. She hardly visited the U.S. southern frontier and refused invitations to visit from border states such as Arizona in 2021. Chris Clem is not the only border official to criticize Harris since she became the presumptive Democratic Party nominee. Brandon Judd, President of the National Border Patrol Council, stated this week that Harris was made aware of the policies needed to end the border crisis but refused to implement any of them. La Raza Org Made Millions From Invasion While Sexually Abusing Kids. In 2013, 'El Presidente' arrived in New Orleans to speak at the National Council of La Raza. El Presidente Juan Sanchez was not the dictator of some Latin American banana republic, but a board member of La Raza and the founder and president of Southwest Key which housed illegal alien minors who had crossed the border. The number of so-called 'unaccompanied minors' invading the country was beginning to shoot up under Obama and the administration was taking the opportunity to direct housing contracts to political allies that would help it transform America. La Raza honored Southwest Key as its "affiliate of the year" and the group got a big check. Why the U.S. Must Heavily Tax Remittances. One of the most under-discussed drivers of illegal immigration is the explosion of remittances, which has created a major economic incentive for foreign nationals to pour into the U.S. Immigrants of both the legal and illegal variety are coming to the U.S., earning money, and sending it back home instead of putting it into the U.S. economy. Take for example, Nicaragua, which received a record $462.4 million in remittances during the month of May, with $385.9 million coming from the U.S., according to a report cited by Breitbart News. As Breitbart points out, not only is this money not going into the U.S. economy, but it is going to a repressive, communist regime in Nicaragua supported by U.S. adversaries, including China, Russia, and Iran. This is a major problem for the U.S.; Americans have a right to expect that money earned through the American economy will go back into the American economy, not to foreign countries. Of course, it is reasonable to expect that people who come here will send some money they earn back to family members who still live in their home countries. However, this must be done in a responsible way that benefits the U.S., and does not create harmful incentives. Ensuring only citizens vote. The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) states it is unlawful for noncitizens to vote in federal elections. It is also unlawful to steal a car. That is what locks are for. Until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act) of 2024 was proposed, the NVRA had no locks — no way to ensure that only American citizens vote in U.S. elections. The glaring loophole in current voting law is that it does not require documentary proof of citizenship for registration. There is also no specific authority provided to state secretaries of state or local elections officials to access federal databases to confirm that there are no noncitizens on state voter rolls. The SAVE Act is designed to cure these deficiencies. Pew Research: More than 30 Million Migrants [are] Taking U.S. Jobs, Far Outpacing [the] Growth of Native-Born Americans. Working- and middle-class Americans are competing for jobs against more than 30 million migrants, including legal immigrants, visa workers, and illegal aliens, the Pew Research Center revealed. The latest from the Pew Research Center shows that as of 2022, more than 30 million legal immigrants and illegal aliens were in the United States and holding American jobs — a 20-percent increase over the last 15 years. [Advertisement] More specifically, the number of legal immigrants alone who were holding American jobs as of 2022 increased by almost 30 percent since 2007. [Advertisement] Meanwhile, during the same 15-year period, the number of native-born Americans who have been added to the United States workforce has increased by less than 10 percent. [Advertisement] The data shows that the federal government has used mass immigration as a labor policy to fill the U.S. workforce with millions of newly arrived migrants that working- and middle-class Americans are forced to compete against in the labor market. Charting A New Course. [Scroll down] Logically, with a lack of sentimentality for the good ol' USA, there are states within the union that are too large to be governed by the small pack of jackals in Washington. The border issue dramatically illuminates the fact. Texas might want and need to defend the border, but that brings it illogically and unconstitutionally in conflict with the small pack of jackals and corrupt officials in the faraway land of Washington. They do not feel the impact of the border towns as Texans do. They do not suffer the injustices of criminality that those towns do. By not allowing Texas to defend itself, it has spread the injustices to every town, every city in America, but the small pack of jackals still don't care, it's with their political donors (also removed from the pain and poverty they cause) that their allegiances lie. Cackling While America Burns. [Scroll down] While there's not a single person on any list of possible replacements who wouldn't continue the decline of the U.S. under Biden, one stands out as more frightening than the rest: Kamala Harris. [...] Harris' failings are monumental. Since being named "border czar" in March 2021 just two months into the Biden presidency, illegal border crossings have soared. During the four years of the Trump presidency, there were 2.4 million illegal entries. An estimated 7.4 million illegal immigrants, however, crossed into the U.S. during Joe Biden's first three years, a staggering number that doesn't include the nearly 2 million "gotaways" who were seen jumping the border, but weren't caught. The border crisis was not due to incompetence, though it is hard to find a shred of competence in this administration. It is a disaster by design. Insurrections and the Leviathan State. While purposefully importing millions of illegal aliens (not just by allowing our southern border to remain inadequately guarded but by sometimes going so far as to send planes to other countries to pick them up, to refuse to catch and deport them when found, and to entice them by providing these illegals with taxpayer-funded food, housing, healthcare, and education once here), Democrat politicians have doubled down on their automated voter registration efforts to include these non-citizens on the voter rolls, while continually voting against responsible bills (such as the SAVE Act) and disregarding existing requirements to protect real citizens' votes from being thusly diluted. Australia Turns Back Two Boatloads of Illegal Immigrants. For the second time in two weeks Australia has turned back a boatload of illegal migrants, forcing the intended asylum seekers to return to Indonesia. Coalition calls for Andrews Giles to be sacked as second group of asylum seekers given boats and told to head back to Indonesia. The federal opposition is calling for Immigration Minister Andrew Giles to be sacked after a second boat full of asylum seekers intercepted on their way to Australia were given speed boats equipped with supplies and told to head for Indonesia. The group of 44 asylum seekers landed on the remote Indonesian island of Rote Ndao on Monday, several weeks after they were intercepted en route to Australia. According to local authorities, the group of 36 Bangladeshi and eight Rohingya asylum seekers were intercepted while trying to reach Australia from West Java's southern coast but were intercepted by the Australian Broder Force (ABF). They were detained in their vessel for 18 days before being provided with two modern speed boats, each equipped with just enough fuel, food and water for 22 people to make the trip to Rote Ndao — 286km from Australia's Ashmore Reef. Charges Dismissed Against [an] Arizona Rancher Who Shot [an] Illegal Alien. On Tuesday, a judge in Arizona dismissed the case against rancher George Alan Kelly, who was facing murder charges after shooting an illegal alien who was crossing his property after coming across the border. Fox News reports that the 75-year-old Kelly was accused of killing the 48-year-old illegal on January 30th, 2023, on Kelly's 170-acre ranch outside of Nogales, Arizona. In his ruling, Santa Cruz Superior Court Judge Thomas Fink declared that the state of Arizona "has decided not to retry this case following mistrial because another jury would not convict the defendant based upon the same evidence." Biden Floods Ohio Town with 20,000 Haitian Migrants: Ten to a Bedroom. Residents of the west-central town of Springfield, Ohio, are demanding that their city council do something to stem the tide of the Haitian immigrants that have flooded the city, especially in the aftermath of the death of a child in a school bus accident caused by a migrant driving illegally. The town situated just west of the state capitol in Columbus has been a target of Haitian immigrants at least since 2014, and in the ensuing years, some ten thousand had moved to the Rust Belt town. But in the last four years alone, that population has ballooned to more than 20,000. The influx is causing serious pressures to mount on the town. The Editor says... Report: New York City Hotels Housing Illegal Aliens Receive Over $1 Billion in Taxpayer Funds. In New York City, hotels that have converted into shelters for hordes of illegal aliens have been given over $1 billion in taxpayer money to keep them in business. [Advertisement] As reported by Fox News, the average hotel room for an illegal costs $156 per night, with some costing over $300 per night. As such, the city government has already spent at least $1.98 billion on housing for illegals, with 80% of that amount going to hotels or inns that have been converted into shelters, rather than to shelters operated by the city. Overall, the city has spent at least $4.88 billion on the mass migration crisis. [Advertisement] Some of the contracts agreed upon between the city and various hotels include a deal for $5.13 million per month with the Row NYC hotel, located in Midtown Manhattan. In South Jamaica, Queens, the Crowne Plaza JFK is being given $2 million per month to continue renting out its 335 rooms to illegals. In September of 2023, the city secured a contract with the Hotel Association of New York City (HANYC) for $1.3 billion over the next three years. In January, another deal was signed between the city and HANYC for $76.69 million to provide "last resort" shelters to illegals at 15 different hotels across the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn through July. [Advertisement] Business owners in the surrounding neighborhoods have noted the decline in economic revenue for their businesses and others around them, as the tourists that would normally stay in such hotels and subsequently patronize their own businesses have been replaced by illegals who have no money. NYC Mayor Blows Another $2.6 Million Taxpayer's Money on Pre-Paid Debit Cards for Illegal Aliens. Mayor Eric Adams's administration has reportedly injected another $2.6 million of the city's budget into a controversial program that distributes pre-paid debit cards to illegal immigrants. According to the Office of the NY State Comptroller (OSC), by May 31, 2024, the city reported spending $1.47 billion in Fiscal Year 2023 and $2.72 billion in Fiscal Year 2024 on expenses related to "asylum seekers." This latest cash infusion brings the total expenditure on this initiative to an eye-watering $2 billion, according to the New York Post. [Tweet] Biden broke the border, but here's how Trump can fix it again. If anyone can seal the border, Donald Trump can. But can even he wrestle back control after President Biden's "nation-wrecking nightmare" (Trump's words, jarring but spot on)? Trump would "seek to re-establish" his "Migrant Protection Protocols," which saw the Department of Homeland Security refuse entry to those apprehended at the southern border, and having them stay in Mexico pending their removal proceedings. Since 1997, all Trump's predecessors possessed this potent statutory tool, yet only Trump used it. MPP took away aliens' incentive to make bogus claims of fear to secure release into the U.S. DHS found it "indispensable," resulting in "a rapid and substantial decline in apprehension[s]." Pre-COVID, MPP was truly the MVP of border security. How do you solve a problem like Kamala? The cackling diversity hire of a vice president is a disaster, not just for Democrat election prospects, but for the nation and the world. Let us review her portfolio. [...] As vice president, she was tapped in March 2021 as the point person to lead the administration's efforts to secure our southern border. After one trip to Mexico and Guatemala, she released her strategy to address the "root causes" of migration. The strategy identifies the root causes of migration as corruption, violence, trafficking, and poverty. Duh! She further identified the pandemic and "extreme weather conditions" as exacerbating factors. (Seriously!) No mention of illegal immigrants from over 100 countries around the world. No mention of the tens of thousands of military-age males arriving from the Middle East, China, and Russia. No specific plan of action to stem the tide or secure the border. We can see the results. Illegals are indeed getting immediate Social Security, contrary to Democrat claims. Who needs U.S. citizenship, or for that matter, legal authorization to live in the U.S. when you've got Joe Biden's open borders? That looks like the story with illegals receiving Social Security benefits, a lifetime benefit that until recently had been perceived as nominally reserved for U.S. citizens, not illegal border crossers, and which Democrats are now trying to debunk. [...] The problem, of course, is in the details. Illegals can't just tap into regular Social Security retirement benefits as paying Americans do. However, they can get SSI pretty easily for lifetime benefits based on being unemployable, having no English skills, having no marketable skills, having no education, and not being retired. The Editor says... Report: Joe Biden's Social Service Programs for Migrants Almost Ensure They Are Never Deported. Two social service programs for migrants, created by President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS), are also covertly serving as a deportation shield, a bombshell interim staff report from the House Judiciary Committee suggests. The report details the administration's Young Adult Case Management Program (YACMP) and Case Management Pilot Program (CMPP), "both of which ensure illegal aliens receive social services once they are released into the United States." In particular, the Biden administration has sought to transform DHS's Alternatives to Detention (ATD) — designed to GPS-track and monitor those migrants who are in deportation proceedings but not detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — into a social services system that offers cultural orientation, legal advice, and mental health resources while connecting migrants to taxpayer-funded programs like food stamps and Medicaid. Report: 99% of Illegal Aliens, Border Crossers Living Freely Across American Communities. Roughly 99 percent of illegal aliens and border crossers are living freely across the United States as President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) monitors fewer than 1.5 percent of the nation's illegal population, a report states. The federal data, compiled by the National Immigration Center for Enforcement (NICE) and circulated by several House and Senate Republicans, looks at the overall illegal population living in American communities — estimated at nearly 17 million today. The Editor says... Musk Identifies the Traitors. Speaker Mike Johnson recently took to Twitter to promote a new bill that would strengthen protections against noncitizens illegally voting in federal elections. Called the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility), the proposed legislation would require state election officials to require proof of citizenship before distributing voter registration forms. He received some unexpected love for his post from Elon Musk, who weighed in saying that anyone who opposes this legislation is a TRAITOR. New York City Giving Taxpayer-Funded Debit Cards to Over 7,000 Migrants. New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) is expanding his program that rewards newly arrived migrants with pre-loaded debit cards for food — paid for by New Yorkers who remain some of the most tax-burdened residents of the United States. Adams started the debit cards-for-migrants program in February, noting that it would cost about $53 million to provide roughly 500 migrant families with the prepaid cards meant only for food. The program came even as a study recently found that 56 percent of New Yorkers live near the poverty line. NYC Mayor Eric Adams Expands Illegal Alien Debit Card Bonanza. New York City is set to expand its program aimed at providing prepaid debit cards to illegal alien families currently residing in hotels, enabling them to purchase essential items, including food. [Advertisement] City officials have revealed that over the next six months, approximately 7,300 prepaid debit cards, with a total value exceeding $2.6 million, will be distributed. This expansion will extend the program from three hotels to 17, potentially benefitting around 1,230 illegal aliens every month. [Tweet] CBS News: Joe Biden dispatches immigration officials to foreign nations to assist migrants claiming 'asylum'. How soon until the U.S. has an immigration processing station in every third world hellscape? With Democrats running the show, it's only a matter of time. "Using State Department funds," the Joe Biden administration will now assist Panama in building up its "deportation infrastructure." That's the story, according to Camilo Montoya-Galvez at CBS News, who reported on a new bilateral agreement signed Monday between the Bidenites and the administration of the new Panamanian president, José Raúl Mulino. Report: Biden [is] Flying Illegal Aliens, Deported Under Trump, Back to U.S.. President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reportedly flying illegal aliens, deported by former President Donald Trump's administration, back into the United States. Biden's DHS is carrying out the little-known program, according to the Washington Free Beacon, where illegal aliens from Cameroon who were deported by the Trump administration are now being flown back into the United States despite having been found to have invalid asylum claims. [...] DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has, on several occasions, said "equity" and "justice" for migrants are at the center of the agency's mission. Biden's Border Chief Claims Power to Admit More Illegals. Illegal migrants who are caught and bussed out of the country can use the "CBP One" cellphone app to get government permission to re-enter the United States, border czar Alejandro Mayorkas declared on June 26. "If an [caught] individual has agreed to and been returned voluntarily [to Mexico], are they eligible for a CBP One appointment? They are," he told a reporter at his tightly managed Tucson press conference on June 26. "They don't want to actually bar people from coming into the country," responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. "They just want the [illegal migrants] to be laundered through the CBP One process, and this enables them to do that," he added. "CBP One" is a smartphone app that allows migrants to request entry into the United States via an official gate, dubbed a "Port of Entry." Mayorkas's deputies use the process to give a "parole" legal status to illegal economic migrants. That legal spin helps Mayorkas provide the migrants with the work permits they need to pay off their smuggling debts and bring up their family members. Cast Away Illusions and Prepare for Struggle. When a government deliberately abets an invasion of some 10 million foreigners across its borders, ordinary citizens recognize this isn't merely a violation of the rule of law. They correctly intuit it as something far graver: it is treason. Against the Constitution? Against rules written on a page? No, it is treason against the nation: an assault on the very body politic, which preexists the government and transcends its form. Ordinary Americans understand this just as the French or Irish do. The Constitution was a very fine document, successfully codifying the unique character of the young Anglo-American nation. Many of us dearly hope it can yet be restored and re-enforced, in spirit and law. But the time for conservatives' hubristic habit of quibbling over American exceptionalism or the precise meaning of America's founding has well and truly passed. 49 States Including Maine Are Handing Voter Registration Forms to Illegal Immigrants Applying for Welfare. A new report from the New York Post has revealed that welfare seekers — including non-citizens who are ineligible to vote — are receiving voter registration forms in 49 states, including Maine, when they sign up for taxpayer-funded benefits. "Another 'conspiracy theory' turns out to be true," said Elon Musk on X in response to the information. [Tweet] The immigrants applying for welfare, many of whom are in the country illegally and are remaining here on parole awaiting asylum hearings set for years in the future, are not asked to provide proof of citizenship before they are given the registration forms. In the majority of states, anyone applying for welfare or seeking a driver's license is also issued voter registration forms, according to the NY Post investigation. Many welfare benefits are available to non-citizens, who are often supported entirely by U.S. taxpayers after they enter the country, and, in some states like Massachusetts and New York, drivers licenses are issued to all individuals regardless of immigration status. Arizona is the only state that does not hand out voter registration forms to welfare applicants regardless of citizenship. 49 States Are Now Supplying 'Non-Citizens' With Voter Registration Forms. Illegal aliens and other "non-citizens" can receive voter registration forms without needing to show proof of citizenship in at least 49 states. They can use these forms to access welfare benefits and obtain driver's licenses and mail-in ballots. Only Arizona has passed a law preventing this — but it applies only to state forms, not federal ones. The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993 mandates that states facilitate voter registration at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and welfare offices. These agencies must provide voter registration forms alongside application papers. Without a federal law requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration forms, migrants can simply claim to be U.S. citizens to register to vote, easily bypassing the official ban on non-citizens voting. More than 12 million illegal border crossers since fiscal 2021. More than 12 million people have illegally crossed the border into the U.S. since 2021, data obtained and analyzed by The Center Square show. That includes the more than 241,000 apprehensions of illegal border crossers in May. The total number who've illegally entered the U.S. nationwide in fiscal 2024 through May is more than 2.2 million, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. The majority of illegal border crossers are overwhelmingly single adults. In fiscal 2024 through May, they totaled over 1.35 million. Our National Migration Crisis Is Supercharging The Growth Of Homelessness All Over The United States. Over the past three years, millions of migrants have come pouring into this country looking for a better life. They were promised that things would be so much better once they got here, but for so many of them that has turned out to be not true at all. There just aren't enough resources to care for the vast number of migrants that are arriving, and as a result many quickly find themselves homeless. It is a tragedy of monumental proportions, and it is getting worse with each passing day. Why does the Congress exist if the White House can bypass it at any moment? Is the Supreme Court leaker back in action? [Scroll down] Biden himself has been big on interfering with other branches of government to get his way since the get-go. His fingerprints were all over the sudden spate of lawfare lawsuits against President Trump just days after he announced he would run for president in 2024, with White House operatives turning up in district attorney offices in New York and curious visits to the White House from local Georgia prosecutors among other things. Now we learn he's out trying to throw nails into the path of the Supreme Court to ensure that the border stays open and open the pathway in to foreign criminals. This underlines that if there is a leaker, and there probably is, it's imperative to catch him or her. The Court can't make decent decisions if none of the justices can trust one another. That this happened, twice, on Joe Biden's watch suggests a pretty nefarious racket inside the Supreme Court, whose leaks are unprecedented. The Editor says... Supreme Court's Immigration Rebuke Suggests Biden's Border Order Is Unconstitutional. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Thursday that U.S. citizens do not have a constitutional right to guarantee their noncitizen spouse admittance into the country, something President Joe Biden tried to cement in his most recent executive order concerning the ongoing border invasion. American Sandra Muñoz sued the federal government after her husband, Luis Asencio-Cordero, an MS-13 gang member, was denied a visa by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in 2015 due to "unlawful activity" the immigration officer suspected based on a gang affiliation tattoo he spotted on the El Salvador native during the interview. Asencio-Cordero, a noncitizen, eventually "disavowed any gang membership" and, with Muñoz's help, tried to appeal the visa case with the Department of State. The federal agency, however, agreed with USCIS's decision, effectively asserting (along with the Supreme Court's judgment Thursday) that a noncitizen like Asencio-Cordero has "no constitutional right to enter the United States." Mexican Cartel 'Travel Agencies' Selling $15,000 Packages to Illegal Aliens for Help to Cross [the] Border. USA Today reported that Mexican cartels offer illegal aliens packages up to $15,000 for help to cross the border. [...] Each cartel "travel agency" has a code. The VIP customers receive the code so everyone knows which cartel is working with them "so everyone from local police to rival criminal syndicates knows not to harass them." La Linea, a cartel in Juárez, has helped at least 1,000 people through the El Paso tunnels. Mexican cartels offering pricey VIP package for migrants trying to get into US. The tunnel is dark and narrow. Toxic gases rise from the dank water. Insects scurry along the sides, rattlesnakes wait, coiled. Rodents lurk along the water's edge. Yet this drainage network that reaches from Ciudad Juárez into El Paso, Texas, is one of the most sought-after routes for patrons of a VIP migration package offered by Mexican cartels to those with the money to pay for it. The tunnel route costs at least $6,000, according to interviews with top Mexican state authorities, federal law enforcement officials from both sides of the border and migrants waiting to cross in encampments along the Rio Grande. Ricardo, a migrant smuggler, said he has charged as much as $15,000. Can America defend itself against border terrorists? The Biden administration watched with glee while millions of potential Democrat votes sloshed across our southern (and northern) border, all the while telling us they are "doing everything humanly possible" to keep illegals out. They lied. Now, eight million migrants later and still counting, criminals, terrorists, and human traffickers still pour in. Most are young single males. Granted that some of those males are here to make money to send back to their families. Fine. But get registered and pay taxes for the privilege of getting a job illegally. We legals have to pay taxes on what we earn. Illegals should be forced to do likewise and employers should stop hiring them. To allow illegals to work here and not pay taxes is almost as bad as allowing them to stay and registering them to vote and receive health care. Americans are being short-changed in health care and jobs to make way for illegals. Hotels are being overrun with filth and noise while hard-working Americans struggle to make ends meet. All of this is infuriating, which is one reason minorities are flocking to Trump. ICE Non-Detained Docket on Pace to Hit 8 million Active Cases This Year. [Scroll down] President Trump has said the solution within the deportation program is to utilize local and state law enforcement to locate the illegal aliens, allowing ICE and DHS officials to focus on the deportation process. This approach seems to be the optimal solution given the scale of the problem that Biden has created. That said, any deportation effort will run into extreme Lawfare tactics deployed by the radical leftists. No doubt, every left-leaning federal court will be utilized to generate blocks to deportation orders. President Trump is going to have to declare a national state of emergency on day-one, to fully engage the power of the executive branch on this problem. SCOTUS Rules That Illegals Can't Avoid Deportation By Missing A Court Date. It used to be that when you were processing and letting an alien enter the United States you tried to schedule a court date for the alien before they left the station. If you couldn't do that, then you made sure the alien had an address where the court could mail him the date of his court hearing. There was a telephone number provided to the alien and the alien could call up with their Alien number (A #) from their paperwork and find out when their court date was. Or, they could simply ignore the court and go about their merry way[.] Often, if they didn't show up in court, the court ordered them deported in absentia, which means the next time they're in custody, they can be sent straight home without any further legal action. By a narrow vote, the Supreme Court has allowed this practice to continue. Biden promises leniency for 500,000 illegal immigrants married to U.S. citizens. President Biden announced a program Tuesday designed to ease the path to citizenship for a half-million illegal immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens by letting them skip the line and adjust their status in the U.S. without going back to their home countries. Mr. Biden portrayed the plan as pro-family, sharply contrasting it with the family separations under his opponent, former President Donald Trump. The plan could cover 500,000 illegal immigrant spouses and 50,000 of their children. Under normal rules, the spouses can apply to adjust their status by dint of their marriage, but they are supposed to return to their home countries and await processing, which in some cases can take years. How many of the 500,000 newly 'legalized' US 'citizens' will vote this November? The recent executive order by President Biden is an alarming move that essentially grants mass amnesty to around 500,000 illegal aliens. This isn't just about immigration policy; it's a blatant election-year maneuver to secure votes. By shielding these individuals from deportation and providing them with a pathway to permanent residency, Biden is ensuring a significant boost in voter support, particularly from Hispanic and Latino communities. This is not just an opinion; it's backed by the numbers and the timing. House Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green rightly called this move an "eleventh-hour ploy for mass amnesty." The timing couldn't be more suspicious. Just months before the crucial 2024 elections, Biden's administration decides to grant legal status to half a million individuals who were previously ineligible to vote. This isn't about humanitarian efforts; it's about securing votes. Supreme Court Erases Loophole That Kept Foreigners Inside The U.S. Illegally. In a 5-4 ruling Friday, the Supreme Court erased a loophole that allowed foreigners to avoid deportation proceedings by citing a paperwork technicality. The case centered on three illegal immigrants: Moris Esmelis Campos-Chaves, an El Salvador native who entered the country illegally in 2005 through Texas; Varinder Singh, a man from India who illegally entered the U.S. in 2016 by "climbing over a fence" in California; and Mexico-native Raul Daniel Mendez-Colín, who illegally entered the U.S. in 2001 in Arizona. [Advertisement] The trio argued that their deportation notices did not meet the criteria for a proper notice as prescribed by the law. Title 8 USC § 1229 (a) describes two types of notices. The first is a general initial notice to appear that shall include, among other specificities, a "time and place" for the proceeding. The second notice regards a "change or postponement in the time and place of such proceedings." The Supreme Court previously ruled in 2021 that "this information must be provided in a single document in order to satisfy [the law]." Behold the Monster You Created. [Scroll down] Well, my friends. You miscalculated. [...] You supported open borders and sanctuary cities to entrench a permanent Democrat voting base. But you have since discovered that perhaps millions upon millions of illegals weren't necessary to secure swing states in which a few thousand votes would suffice. The hordes now overrunning the cities and suburbs are less interested in voting than in joining robbery gangs, dealing drugs, demanding entitlements, and depressing wage rates. Your kids' schools have been appropriated for shelters, and the illegal aliens elsewhere in public encampments are demanding free legal representation and "culturally appropriate" food. Report: Biden [is] Planning One of Largest Mass Amnesty Programs in History. According to CBS News (and PBS), hundreds of thousands of immigrants living illegally in this country may soon get legal status, provided that they have been here for at least a decade. Of course, the mainstream media is calling the Biden plan "one of the largest immigration relief programs in recent history," but it's otherwise known as "amnesty." [...] The program, to be known as "Parole in Place," will be sold as a way to help the spouses of immigrants and would of course be done by executive order because that is the way the president is able to force his policies on the country — regardless of whether there's been a congressional vote. Tyson Foods fires American employees while employing illegal aliens. Tyson Foods is following in the footsteps of leftist companies across the U.S., having recently fired more than 1,000 Americans from a pork plant in Iowa as the company employs illegal aliens for other factory positions. The food company recently announced that it would fire nearly 1,300 American employees, some of whom are legal immigrants, from its pork plant in Perry, Iowa. BizPacReview pointed out that the town is home to just 8,147 people and has little crime. As Tyson Foods shuts down its factory in Iowa, the company is expected to open many job positions in New York and is reportedly seeking 52,000 illegal immigrants to be employed. A $100 Trillion Wealth Transfer from the Poor to the Rich. Ever asked yourself why 20 million have poured through the Southern border in the last three and a half years? Oh, I know, in search of economic freedom, oppression by their home governments, or oligarchs, drugs, death squads, crime etc. Same with Africa. But again, why do they risk so much to leave homelands that almost certainly, most of them love. The idea of 'place' is not an idea, it is a deep attachment, physical, emotional and sensate that trumps reason. You have to kill a lot of your natural self to leave, to risk your life and that of your children to escape to the cold grey north and never return. The fear alone would overwhelm all but the strongest. They are leaving because they must. But why now? It's been bad forever. Data: Majority Want All Illegals Deported! A recent CBS News/YouGov poll reveals that 62 percent of registered voters favor the U.S. government implementing a national program to deport all illegal immigrants. This includes support from one-third of Democratic voters. The survey, conducted from June 5 to June 7, encompassed 1,615 registered voters across the country, with a focus on battleground states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The poll's findings echo earlier proposals by former President Donald J. Trump, who has pledged to undertake the "largest deportation" operation in American history if returned to the White House. In an interview with Time Magazine, Trump emphasized his intention to involve the National Guard in the effort, describing illegal immigrants as participants in an "invasion" of the country. Several polls have shown voters overwhelmingly agree with Trump's use of "invasion" to describe the Biden government's border crisis. Good and Evil. Fleeing poverty and cruelty, the non-military invaders of today settle in the West because we readily open the gates and allow them to enter. Supposed to be civilized and generous to the point of self-destruction, we find it impossible to reject them, which they know very well, and we offer them food and shelter. (Of course, we have largely renounced the Christian faith, but hypocrisy thrives nonetheless.) Initially, with the emotional (sentimental) appeal of "victims," adventurous young men disembark from overcrowded boats, band together, and learn by heart the lenient rules of their Christian hosts. Next, they send for their relatives (i.e. parents, siblings, uncles, aunts, cousins etc.), be they true or false, and intended wives. Thus, it is not that any of them come here in deference to Western ways of life, striving for assimilation and integration. From a historical perspective, they are invaders and colonizers. Biden Memo Instructs SoCal Border Patrol To Release Most Single Adults. President Biden's executive order to curb the illegal alien invasion was nothing more than optically pleasing headlines before the September presidential debates. Just days after the order was signed, US Customs and Border Protection agents in the southern California sector received a memo instructing them to release single adults from all but six countries. Fox News' Bill Melugin obtained an internal CBP memo sent to agents in the San Diego sector following Biden's executive order last Tuesday. The memo instructed them to release single adults from over 100 eastern hemisphere countries, except for six (Uzbekistan, Russia, Tajikistan, Georgia, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan) deemed "mandatory referral" countries. This means despite the president's promise of stopping the invasion between border checkpoints, the majority, including Chinese, Middle Eastern, and African adults, are still being released into the US. The Left Knows Leftism Doesn't Work. [T]he left is not running on its record of the last three-and-a-half years but instead studiously ignoring it, at least temporarily through November. [...] We were lied to for nearly four years that the border was "secure," as 10 million foreign nationals flooded across. Then we were told Biden was helpless to stop the deluge since he had no legal right to enforce federal immigration law through executive orders — a ridiculous excuse that even he would soon drop. Despite their eagerness for new constituencies, no one on the left dares to openly praise the influx of the last four years, much less demand more illegal immigration. Instead, as November looms, Biden is suddenly reinstating the very Trump executive orders that once, despite deep state and court obstruction, finally closed the border — and which Biden himself had originally overturned. Note that Biden is now partnering with the Mexican government — which terribly fears another Trump presidency endangering Mexico's annual $60 billion in remittances from mostly illegal aliens in the United States — to curb some of the illegal immigration before the November election. Civil War if Trump Goes to Prison? [Scroll down] Accelerationism here is "the goal of hastening the cataclysmic end of economic, political, and social systems so as to more rapidly bring about what is seen as an inevitable end-times collapse." [...] If you want to see real accelerationism in action, all you have to do is look at our southern border. Joe Biden and the liberal Democrats are paying for mass illegal immigration with taxpayer money. They want to use the illegal alien surge to add congressional districts in blue states. They want to make the illegals citizens and allow them to vote. The idea is to create a perpetual one-party left-wing national government. This is large-scale social change in a short time frame. Half of all new jobs [are] going to immigrants, analysis finds. Roughly half the new jobs created in the U.S. economy since October have gone to immigrants, many of them in the country illegally, according to a new analysis by the House Budget Committee. The Labor Department released its latest employment data Friday showing the economy added jobs, but the overall labor participation rate ticked down and the unemployment rate ticked up to 4%. "Furthermore, nearly half of all job growth since October can be attributed to various immigrant groups, including illegal immigrants, showing a far weaker economy than suggested," the GOP-led budget committee said. Hillbilly Xenophobes for Trump. "They are 'undocumented immigrants' seeking asylum desperate to escape tyranny and poverty. How dare you call these poor human beings 'aliens'? Have you no compassion? You're just another MAGA-hillbilly xenophobe! Our friendship is over!" So went my banishment from the court of a progressive associate. [...] Of the some 16 million illegals flooding the United States under the aegis of Sec. Mayorkas, how many are fingerprinted for criminal backgrounds? Are they simply released into the U.S. from hostile countries like Venezuela, Uzbekistan, and China? What certainty can the Biden administration provide that none of the "guests" of American taxpayers are contagious with diseases like polio and leprosy, now appearing on American soil? Much less, how many of these illegals possess any economically beneficial skills other than organized crime? [...] Apparently, the administration's objective is something other than protecting America from violence and disease. Time to Jettison the Animals. [Scroll down] They can't afford to lose their grip on the levers of power in the 2024 election — lose control of the Justice Department, the FBI, and the so-called "national security" apparatus, especially. The open border is just an effort to illegally import and enlist a vast wad of potential new voters to ensure an election victory. More than twenty states have "motor-voter laws" that automatically register anybody with a driver's license. And these enrollees don't even have to cast their ballot. Their names can just be "harvested" systematically, attached to voting documents, and bundled to be submitted for them. Millions have entered the country illegally since 2021 at "Joe Biden's" direct invitation. There's nothing hidden about this — but all you see is the learned helplessness of actual US citizens unable to stop it. More Than 1,300 Illegals Flood Into San Diego in One Day, Border Patrol Releases Them to the Streets. More than 1,300 illegal aliens flooded over the US border into San Diego, California in ONE DAY following Biden's executive order on asylum seekers. Joe Biden on Tuesday held a fake border security press conference on his new asylum 'restrictions' from the East Room. More than 15 million illegal aliens — mainly military-age males — have invaded the US on Biden's watch. Joe Biden took 94 executive actions in his first 100 days in office to destroy the border. Now he's acting like the savior with his new 'asylum restrictions' — only asylum is still available to thousands of illegal aliens every single day released into the US. Wall Street Admits The Biggest Economic Shocker: All Jobs In The Past Year Have Gone To Illegal Aliens. For much of the past year we had been pounding the table on two very simple facts: not only has the US labor market been appallingly weak, with most of the jobs "gained" in 2023 and meant to signal how strong the Biden "recovery" has been, about to be revised away (as first the Philly Fed and now Bloomberg both admit), but more shockingly, all the job growth in the past few years has gone to illegal aliens. We first pointed this out more than a year ago, and since then we have routinely repeated — again, again, and again — yet even though we made it abundantly clear what was happening... [Tweet] Insane asylum. If a frank enemy of the United States had taken over the executive branch of in January 2021, he would not have conducted himself one whit differently than Joe Biden, his administration, and his Democratic enablers in Congress and the media. From his first day in office Biden garishly repealed every border control that President Trump had worked up to stem the tide of illegal immigration. Biden put out the word to friend and foe alike that the United States had open borders. As he had vowed to do, President Biden opened the borders to illegal aliens on January 20, 2021. It was among his first acts in office and stands as an almost unbelievable act of willful destruction. Indeed, as Andrew McCarthy bluntly put it in an August 2021 NRO column on Biden policy: "The federal government is aiding and abetting illegal immigration." Administration officials have both repeatedly lied about what it has done and deflected blame over the years since that day. Instead, the Biden administration has repeatedly assured us, "the border is secure". [Video clip] The American Anti-Communist Revolution. [Scroll down] Their cause is diminished and it has been so diminished in the United States that they've come to import supporters. Imagine an ideology so broken, so utterly useless that they are forced to bribe foreigners to enter and support them. You don't have to imagine it, you see it. Biden Takes Mexico Border Action He Said Needed Congressional Approval. Well, lookie here. Biden is caught in another lie. This time on the border. Under pressure from Democrats, Biden takes executive action on the border. After stating he could not shut the border without Congressional approval, President Biden issues an executive order limiting the number of illegal immigrants who can enter the country. [...] Biden is a liar on multiple fronts: About funding, about the success he touts, about needing Congressional approval, and about how tough the January proposed deal was. Biden is acting now only because the situation is so out of hand that even Democrat governors are complaining. 'Fool The American People': Biden's Immigration Order Has More Holes Than The Border, Experts Say. President Joe Biden was met with a wave of criticism from both the left and the right after announcing Tuesday an executive order that aims to clamp down on illegal immigration at the southern border. In an announcement at the White House, Biden unveiled an executive order that aims to control the daily illegal crossings taking place at the U.S.-Mexico border. The presidential proclamation, which is expected to go into effect on Wednesday, follows 6 million southern border encounters during his presidency. The order will temporarily suspend the entry of foreign nationals across the U.S.-Mexico border once the number of average border encounters exceeds 2,500 a day over a week time period, according to the White House. This will stay in effect until two weeks after there has been a seven-day average of fewer than 1,500 encounters along the southern border. The order — which largely draws its authority under 212(f) and 215(a) from the Immigration and Nationality Act — will make it easier for Border Patrol agents and other Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials to quickly remove foreign nationals who have no legal basis to remain in the country. Biden's
border 'crackdown' is a con job based on another Biden bait-and-switch. The headlines
in mainstream media outlets announced today that Biden has enacted an executive order that will
close the border. By tomorrow, the headlines will be that embittered, dishonest Republicans
are pouncing on, instead of applauding, what they should view as good news. But this is not
good news. Not only is it a con, but it also exposes how the Biden administration and the
complicit progressive Democrat media have been gaslighting Americans for the last three-plus years.

One of Every Five New York City Hotels is Now a Migrant Shelter. New York City hotel prices have never been higher. Illegal immigration is part of the reason why. Mayoral graft is another. Biden Admin Gives 'Mass Amnesty,' NY Post Reports. The Biden administration is boasting its border policies are now cutting illegal immigration, but a new report has exposed a veritable shell game that is effectively covering its "mass amnesty" designs by making the numbers of asylum cases disappear. More than 350,000 migrants cases have "terminated without a decision on the merits of their asylum claim" by the Biden administration if individuals did not have a criminal record or were not deemed a threat, the New York Post reported Sunday. Those illegals are removed from the legal record and are not required to check in with authorities, allowing illegals to live "indefinitely" in the U.S. without fear of deportation. Biden admin offers 'mass amnesty' to migrants as it quietly terminates 350,000 asylum cases: sources. While the Biden administration is attempting to look like it's getting tough on the border, behind the scenes it's operating a program of "mass amnesty" for migrants, The [New York] Post can reveal. Data show that since 2022, more than 350,000 asylum cases filed by migrants have been closed by the US government if the applicants don't have a criminal record or are otherwise not deemed a threat to the country. This means that while the migrants are not granted or denied asylum — their cases are "terminated without a decision on the merits of their asylum claim" — they are removed from the legal system and no longer required to check in with authorities. The move allows them to legally, indefinitely roam the US without fear of deportation, effectively letting them slip through the cracks.

For perceived cheap political advantage, the Baby Boomers destroyed the southern border, most recently allowing in nearly 10 million unaudited illegal aliens. With the disappearance of our national sovereignty, so too was lost the once-cherished idea of a melting pot of legal immigrants arriving in America longing to assimilate, to integrate in self-reliant fashion, and to show gratitude for the chance of something far better than what they left. Trump is Correct About Deportation. [Scroll down] The U.S. receives a million legal immigrants per year, and the vast majority of them enter the labor market competing with Americans for jobs. Why would we want millions of illegal immigrants, most with no job skills? The Department of Labor has said for more than twenty years that America has an ample supply of unskilled labor. What would occur if all illegal immigrants were deported? Dr. Steve Camarota, research director at the Center for Immigration Studies, believes that wages would rise and motivate many chronically unemployed Americans to get back to work. This situation is, in my opinion, the strongest argument for deportation of illegal immigrants. The District of Columbia approved the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act in 2022, which cleared the way for noncitizen residents to vote in local elections (see § 1-1001.02. 2(B)) starting in 2024. The House of Representatives passed HR192 that would nullify a law in Washington, D.C. which permitted noncitizens to vote in local elections by 262-143. The gathering Cloward-Piven driven deportation storm. Former President Barack Obama has orchestrated the "border crisis" from behind the scenes because of his blind adherence to the Cloward-Piven strategy he learned while at Columbia University. Leftist sociologists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven were professors there while he was an undergraduate from 1981-1983. Cloward and Piven explained in a 1966 Nation magazine article that their strategy to flood the United States with illegal immigrants "would produce bureaucratic disruption in welfare agencies and fiscal disruption in local and state governments... The ultimate objective of this strategy — (is) to wipe out poverty by establishing a guaranteed annual income (for every person)." Redistribution of income is the primary goal of the Cloward-Piven approach. [...] President Joe Biden has followed the Cloward-Piven strategy to a "T." Perhaps he has been an unwitting stooge in the whole drama, as he seems to be on so many other issues. The mass illegal migration happened on his watch so he owns it politically, lock, stock and barrel. Irony: Sen. Chuck Schumer Demands Immediate Amnesty for All Illegals. Over several decades of illegal immigration, Democrats have claimed there are 11 to 13 million illegal aliens in this country. It's far more than that, but however many there are, Schumer demanded amnesty for them. That's not a surprise. We have no idea who these people are, yet he wants them all to vote. A recent poll showed that more than 88% of the illegals would vote for Democrats. It would give these unAmerican, authoritarian Democrats a permanent electoral majority. Chuck Schumer says Democrats want to pass an immigration bill because "we have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to." Schumer then calls for amnesty for "all 11 million or however many" illegal immigrants in the U.S. The Editor says... What is Mass Migration For, Why Does it Keep Happening, and Why Will Nobody Stop It? There is a reason that nations have borders, and this is much the same reason that we have skin and that cells have membranes. You won't survive for very long if you can't control what enters you. Despite the obvious fact that mass migration is bad, our rulers cling to migrationism like grim death. Given a choice between disincentivising asylees and intimidating, browbeating and harassing the millions of anti-migrationists among their own citizens, our governments generally choose the latter path, even though it is obviously the worse of the two. Additionally unsettling is the fact that official justifications for mass migration often have a creepy, post hoc flavour about them. They sound much more like excuses dreamed up after the borders had already been opened, rather than any kind of reason mass migration must occur. When the migrationists really started to go crazy in 2015, for example, we were told that border security was simply impossible in the modern world and that infinity migrants were a force of nature we would have to deal with. That didn't sound right even at the time, [...] The Editor says... Over 40 Democrat Mayors Demand Biden Give Illegal Aliens Jobs and Work Permits, Claim They Will Boost Economy By $7 TRILLION! Over 40 Democratic mayors and county officials have demanded that Joe Biden give jobs and work permits to migrants who have entered the U.S. illegally, claiming that new arrivals will add a staggering $7 trillion to the economy over the next decade. In a letter signed by the likes of New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and San Francisco Mayor London Breed, the Democrats plead with Biden to force the Department of Homeland Security to "leverage its authority to grant parole for longterm undocumented immigrants and our most recent arrivals to create a process for streamlined work authorization." [...] Nearly all of those who have signed the letter represent sanctuary cities, where Democratic officials protect illegal immigrants from deportation and often pay for their housing, food and other living expenses. Turkish Man Details How Easy it is to Cross the Border. Fox News's Bill Melugin spoke to a Turkish man who crossed the border into Jacumba, CA. He paid a cartel $10,000 and couldn't believe how easy it was to cross the border. [...] On Wednesday night, Melugin and his crew encountered groups of men from the Middle East and Asia in Jacumba. The men came from Iran, Pakistan, China, Turkey, India, and Bangladesh. None of the men came from Mexico. Most will be considered "special interest aliens," which means they come from countries with security concerns. They should undergo additional DHS vetting. [Tweet with video clip] Justice Department Sues Oklahoma Over Law That Would Imprison Undocumented Immigrants. In April, Oklahoma Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt signed House Bill 4156, an immigration crackdown law that criminalizes "impermissible occupation" in the state. Any immigrant who "enters and remains" in Oklahoma "without having first obtained legal authorization to enter the United States" could face jail time and be forced to leave the state. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit against Oklahoma yesterday, arguing that H.B. 4156 "is preempted by federal law" and "violates the U.S. Constitution." The lawsuit is the latest entry in the ongoing battle between the federal government and the growing list of states passing their own immigration laws. Under H.B. 4156, a noncitizen convicted of being in Oklahoma without legal authorization to be in the U.S. will be guilty of a misdemeanor that carries a punishment of up to a year in county jail. A subsequent offense is a felony and carries a punishment of up to two years in Department of Corrections custody. Illegal Aliens Admit Flooding Border before Election: 'We Don't Want Trump'. Illegal aliens are admitting that they are rushing to cross the border into the United States before the critical November presidential election. Many say they are hoping to take advantage of Democrat President Joe Biden's open border policies as they fear he will lose re-election. Illegal border crossers told New York Post reporter Jennie Taer that they fear President Donald Trump will secure the Southern Border if elected in November. After illegally crossing the Arizona border last week, two migrants from Colombia told Taer that they were concerned about the outcome of the upcoming general election. It's too late for this already, but worth a try. Report: Over Half of Recent Illegal Immigrants [are] Unemployed. A new report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) indicates that just 46 percent of immigrants who have entered the United States over the past two years are currently employed. This report highlights significant challenges in integrating and employing the growing number of newcomers. As of March, the U.S. foreign-born population has surged to approximately 52 million, making up 15.6 percent of the total population. This increase includes both legal and illegal immigrants, with the foreign-born population growing by 5.1 million in just two years and 6.6 million since the start of President Joe Biden's administration — the largest spike in American history. CIS estimates that the current illegal immigrant population exceeds 14 million. The Editor says... 434,800 Anonymous People Flown in Under Biden's Illegal Rule, It Is an Insurrection. They are closing in on half a million illegal aliens, not migrants, flown in at US expense with no legitimate vetting. They arrange their illegal entrance as they would if planning a vacation trip. These are in addition to the 12 million he allowed in over the border, and it doesn't count the millions who sneak in. We know he's poured most of them into Florida. Polling shows more than 88% will vote for Democrats. The people coming are from terrible places where most of the people hate us. What could go wrong? [Tweet] Todd Bensman is beating the drums, but the media completely ignores him and the information he shares. Thousands of single military-age men and some women are pouring in from China. They are unfriendly, speak in Chinese in front of you although they know English, and they won't bother with Americans. They're not here for a better life. [Tweet] Biden administration refuses to release data about how many 'asylum' cases are waved through by his asylum officers. Now that election time is on, Joe Biden is all in on speedy asylum claims adjudication which he touts to the public as speedier deportations. Joe Biden marketed this to the public as his plan to clear court backlogs by outsourcing asylum claims to so-called "asylum officers" instead of courts. But it's not really that. [...] Sounds fine and dandy, except that by sending illegal border crossers to asylum officers instead of judges, and by placing political pressure on these civil servants who often come from open-borders activist backgrounds anyway, the odds are good they're just waving them through, basically just handing them their citizenship at the gate. Foreign nationals who are granted asylum have an easy path once asylum is taken care of, as they are free to work, glom a huge range of taxpayer-paid benefits, get green cards, get U.S. citizenship, and then begin the process of bringing in all their extended relatives in massive chain migration. If an asylum officer waves you through so that Joe Biden can say he's clearing backlogs, you've got it made. What has Biden accomplished in his presidency? Devastation. Biden and his sycophants in the media sing his praises on a daily basis, pretending he has been an effective president. In fact, all he has accomplished is desecration on every level. From the moment he took office, he set out to destroy the country. He began by shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline which cost about ten thousand pipeline jobs and thousands more support jobs. He stopped the construction of the border wall and opened the border to as many as ten million migrants from all over the world. Not surprisingly, crime is up in every city where these illegal entrants to the U.S. have been transported, often at our expense, in congregated numbers: New York City, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, San Diego, Boston and every city along the Southern border. The demography of the nation has been irreparably altered. Diseases conquered long ago are back, brought by these migrants who long lacked and now expect free health care at taxpayer expense. This alone is reason enough to re-elect Trump. (Again.) Loophole: Mexico Facilitating Illegals Getting Legal Plates and Registrations on Vehicles in Florida. We've long known Mexico is not our friend. From Vicente Fox telling W that the US was Mexico's "pressure relief valve" to Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador's flat-out blackmail for more money and visas in return for doing their part on their side of the border on immigration enforcement, administration after administration in Mexico has played most American presidents like fiddles. When they haven't been openly defiant or demanding, they've either worked covertly or averted their eyes to whatever kept the cartels and illegals attempting crossings happy, which kept their always tenuous grip on power as secure as it could be. The Mexican government is always on the lookout for an opportunity to exploit both sides of the illegal issue if they can. Any US enforcement measures are inevitably "racist," while Mexican officials scan the horizon for any means to facilitate more of their citizens exiting Mexico in order to work in the US and send those much-needed gringo dollars back home. OLS task force takes down human smuggling operation. After a year-long investigation into a smuggling operation at the border, an Operation Lone Star Task Force led by Goliad County Sheriff Roy Boyd took down several operatives allegedly involved in human smuggling. [...] Boyd's OLS Task Force members hit the second leg of an alleged human smuggling transport operation based in Roma. The first leg, organized by cartel operatives, involved transporting foreign nationals from Mexico across the Rio Grande River into Roma. After they arrived, different women, including a mother of young children, allegedly took turns transporting the foreign nationals to Houston. When some did, they drove through Goliad County, were apprehended and arrested on smuggling charges. Then, GCSO special investigators launched an in-depth investigation and uncovered a human smuggling ring previously unknown to law enforcement. The Ravings of a Kindly Old Man with a Poor Memory. [Scroll down] And who's responsible for allowing anyone and anybody to simply waltz into our country, unknown, unvetted, and possibly undesirable? Do the folks permitting this allow just anyone to waltz into their towns, their country clubs, or their homes? No, silly! They only expect it of you. House Democrats Pushing to Permit Migrants to Vote. A few votes could change the course of history. The Equal Representation Act questions whether illegal migrants should appear on the next US census in 2030, effectively granting them representation. The 206 to 202 vote was passed on party lines, with ALL Democrats voting in favor of permitting illegal migrants to be counted as American citizens for redistricting purposes. The repopulation theory is not a conspiracy. The Democrats are losing the favor of the people rapidly, and the new world order is on the line because citizens simply will not vote for these extreme measures that ultimately weaken America. [...] Taxpaying citizens will be denied the right to have their vote counted if foreign aliens are counted no different from citizens. They are aiming to distort our electoral maps, and it is no coincidence that illegals have been placed in every major US city. The borders were deliberately left open for this ultimate goal. Report: More Than Half of Immigrants in U.S. Are Unemployed. More than half of the foreign-born immigrant population in the United States under President Joe Biden's administration is unemployed, according to a recent report. The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) released a report on Monday that showed that just 46 percent of migrants who had arrived in the U.S. "in 2022 or later" were employed as of the beginning of 2024. [Advertisement] "Immigration clearly adds workers to the country, but it just as clearly adds non-workers who need to be supported by the labor of others," Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler, researchers with the CIS, wrote. The Biden Anti-American Legacy. The border is open, and millions are coming at Biden's explicit request — explicit because he could order the border closed for national security reasons at a moment's notice and authorize the use of deadly force to stop the invasion in less than twelve hours. If You Give a Denver Migrant a Cookie.... [Scroll down] Illegal migrants to Denver have done just that. Last week they submitted a list of 13 demands to Mayor Mike Johnston that they insist the city must meet before they vacate their tent city encampments and move into city-provided shelters. These migrant families are currently living under bridges and near train tracks. [...] I'm surprised they don't also want proper kitchens and a chef to prepare their culturally appropriate meals. And culturally appropriate for whom? While most illegal migrants are coming from central and South America there are still a significant number arriving from Russia, China, India, Turkey, and Africa. What about their culturally appropriate foods? The Editor says... Democrat Rep. Hands Out Cards with Instructions to Help Illegal Aliens Evade Law Enforcement, Deportation. Democrat Rep. Collin Allred (TX) handed out cards with instructions to help illegal aliens evade law enforcement and deportation. Allred is currently running for US Senate in Texas against Republican Ted Cruz. According to Fox News, Allred handed out "Know Your Rights Cards" during one of his campaign stops in Dallas earlier this month. Texas Suing Border NGO: "Annunciation House" Intentionally Hid Illegals From Law Enforcement. Citing systemic criminal conduct in the state of Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Annunciation House, a non-governmental organization (NGO) purportedly helping illegal migrants near the southern border. Paxton announced the filing of an application for a Temporary Injunction against Annunciation House, which he says is facilitating illegal border crossings and concealing illegally present aliens from law enforcement. All of this is illegal. The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) reviewed and obtained sworn testimony proving, Paxton says, that Annunciation House's operations were intentionally designed to facilitate illegal activity at the southern border that is flooding the nation with people who do not belong here. Earlier in the year, OAG issued a request for documents from Annunciation House seeking to learn about its operations. Instead of responding with the requested information, Annunciation House sued OAG. DPS charged hundreds of migrants who rushed a border gate with rioting. A judge threw out the charges. Twice in recent months, hundreds of migrants have rushed a border gate in El Paso in an effort to push past state troopers and National Guard and get into the U.S. The Texas Department of Public Safety responded by arresting hundreds of the migrants en masse on misdemeanor rioting charges. Now that strategy is being tested in local courts. Earlier this week, a judge in El Paso dismissed 211 of the rioting cases related to one incident; the same judge had previously dismissed 140 other cases from another border-rushing incident — those cases were revived when the local district attorney took the unusual step of presenting the misdemeanor cases to a grand jury, which indicted all the migrants. Eva Vlaardingerbroek speaking at CPACHungary, The Entire Video Was Removed By YouTube. YouTube, owned by Google, has removed a speech by Dutch lawyer Eva Vlaardingerbroek calling on Europeans to take a stand against the globalist migration program for the "Great Replacement", characterizing it as "hate speech", infowars.com reported. Here is just a sample of her amazing speech. [Video clip] Paxton Sues NGO For Aiding Illegal Alien Invasion. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton took time out from his busy schedule of suing the Biden Administration to sue an NGO aiding the Biden Administration's illegal alien invasion. [...] The illegal alien invasion of America is being guided and funded by radical leftwing entities (NGOs and others) in cooperation with the Biden Administration. Ken Paxton and Texas have proven that the states don't have to take this conspiracy to break the law lying down. The Ways the Left Exploits Illegal Immigration for Electoral Gain. First, illegal immigration affects congressional representation because the apportionment of members of Congress by state is based on U.S. census data. As Heritage Foundation Border Security and Immigration Center Director Lora Ries writes, the census currently counts all noncitizens — from green card holders to illegal aliens — in addition to U.S. citizens for the purposes of apportioning congressional districts among the states. The more citizens in a state, the more congressional districts — i.e., seats in Congress — a state gets. In turn, the number of congressional districts in a state determines how many Electoral College votes that state receives. While president, Donald Trump tried to restore the U.S. citizenship question on the 2020 census and exclude all noncitizens from apportionment calculations. Yet court challenges prevented him from doing so prior to the deadline for getting a new census form printed and distributed. Joe Biden then immediately terminated the effort when he took office. That should tell you which states and party benefit most from the population overcount. The second way mass illegal immigration undermines U.S. elections is through negligence and fraud. Only American citizens can legally vote; it is a crime for a noncitizen to vote. Yet, in many states, noncitizens can easily register and vote with little chance of detection. Hundreds Gather for Anti-Illegal Immigration Rally in Boston. A large rally against the open border policies of Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey and President Joe Biden took center stage in front of the state capitol in Boston. Hundreds gathered for the May 4 morning protest, many of them veterans who underlined what local popular conservative talk radio host and rally host Jeff Kuhner called "the final betrayal." He was referring to an amendment that Massachusetts Democrats recently rejected, which would have mandated that homeless veterans be given priority over illegal immigrants at state shelters. State Republicans introduced the legislation after Ms. Healey, who has converted popular recreation centers, even an airport terminal, into shelters for unvetted immigrants, announced that she was next moving the migrants into the Old Soldiers' Home in Chelsea. "You know why they aren't helping veterans? Because they hate America," said Mr. Kuhner, who referred to Ms. Healey as a "modern-day Benedict Arnold." The End of Old Left-wing Mythologies. [Scroll down] [T]he left has misused immigration, legal and illegal, to create new constituencies that too often identify as victims, arrive with claims against their host, and see little need to quickly assimilate. So in 2024, America has reached an impasse. Nearly 15 percent of the population was not born in the U.S., perhaps over 50 million residents, illegal aliens, and citizens — a record in both percentages and numbers. But the melting-pot's task of integrating and assimilating newcomers has been all but disappeared, replaced by tribalism, salad-bowl separatism, and convenient and careerist venom expressed at their hosts. Most immigrants, legal and illegal, now arrive from anti-American and illiberal regimes in Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Upon arrival, too many sense American self-loathing and the left's Marxist binaries of oppressor/oppressed, and thus find victimhood a convenient entry to the American rat race. DOJ to Sue Iowa If They Try to Enforce Immigration Law. The Justice Department has threatened to sue Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds if the state enforces an immigration law that bars immigrants from being in the state if they have an outstanding deportation order or are denied entry into the country. It sounds reasonable, doesn't it? Not to the DOJ. Criminals and ne'er-do-wells are in the Democrat voting bloc. Kim Reynolds signed Iowa's SF 2340 last month. It does exactly what federal law dictates, but won't do. It criminalizes a person being in the state if they were previously not allowed in the United States or currently have deportation orders. If arrested and convicted, a judge can have the individual deported back to their home country. [I]f the person is not deported, they could be sentenced to two years in prison if it's classified as a misdemeanor or up to 10 years if it's a felony and they have been arrested before. Left-Wing Activists Prevent Migrants from Being Moved Out Of Hotel After Slashing Bus Tires. A number of left-wing activists are sabotaging migrant removals in the United Kingdom. Earlier this week, they prevented migrants from being moved from a hotel in London to the Bibby Stockholm barge by slashing the tires on the bus meant to transport them. A number of migrants were set to board the bus at the Best Western Hotel in Peckham, in the south of the capital city, to be transferred to the barge in Portland, Dorset, where the government is currently housing hundreds asylum seekers, some of whom have been earmarked for deportation to Rwanda. The transfer to the barge is part of a plan by the UK government to reduce the amount of taxpayer money spent on housing asylum seekers in hotels. However, when not at full capacity, the cost of the barge is more than the average cost of a hotel room. Too Little Too Late? House Speaker Johnson Finally Has Border Crisis Concerns. After weeks of taking heat from friends and foes alike, U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has sounded off on the growing U.S. border crisis. [Advertisement] Earlier this week, Johnson tweeted out a response to Dept. of Homeland Security data showing that the Biden administration is flying otherwise inadmissible immigrants into the U.S. [Advertisement] [Tweet] [Advertisement] That data was obtained by subpoena by the House Homeland Security Committee and provided exclusively to Fox News. According to House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) say the president's humanitarian program allows immigrants who have no legal basis to be in the U.S. Fox News reports that another 1.6 million migrants are awaiting approval for the program. [Video clip] Biden's New Migration Advisor is [a] Foreign-Born Open Borders Advocate. Marcela Escobari, Biden's new migration advisor, is a foreign-born, open-borders advocate who is unlikely to advance or support any measures to seriously stem the flow of migrants into the U.S. Born in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, Escobari is an international development specialist by trade. She served as the Assistant Administrator of the Latin American and Caribbean Bureau at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under Barack Obama. She again assumed that position in the Biden government in 2022 following a stint at the globalist, pro-open borders Brookings Institute. Texas Has Every Right To Defend Itself Against Biden's Border Invasion. States are sovereign entities in their own right and have the unquestioned authority to repel an invasion in their states, made even more critically necessary when the federal government has so abjectly failed in its responsibility to safeguard the nation's borders. One of the central tenets of our constitutional scheme is that, with the exception of the limited, enumerated rights and powers granted by our U.S Constitution to the federal government, all power and policymaking authority is reserved to the states and to the people, the 10th Amendment. This constitutional structure stems from the Framers unquestioned belief that the states and their citizens are far better suited to make life, health, safety, and other social policy decisions than is the federal government which is so far removed both geographically and culturally from the American people. Interior secretary Deb Haaland has no idea. Deb Haaland, secretary for the Department of the Interior, has never been to the southern border, but that doesn't mean she's not qualified to make serious political decisions affecting this nation and its people — because, like (previously) never-been-to-the-border-either-border-czar Kamala Harris, Haaland's been hired by Joe Biden. During a congressional hearing yesterday, Wisconsin Republican Tom Tiffany asked Haaland if "trash on the federal lands along the border" was an issue, but like all bureaucrats, she's completely ignorant, replying, "Congressman, I have not been to the border, so I couldn't tell you that." Okay, so we've got another clueless bureaucrat on our hands (what's new?), so allow me to help her out, and I say this with as much emphasis as humanly possible: Migrants and their littering/polluting/careless/inconsiderate attitudes are a colossal problem. Goal Of Open Border Is To Turn Texas Blue. For decades, progressives have dreamed of changing Texas from a "red" Republican state to a "blue" Democrat one. This dream is realistic because Democrats have succeeded in turning several western states "blue." For example, California was the state that launched the political career of President Ronald Reagan. Prior to his presidency, Reagan served two terms as Governor of California. Today, California is a progressive wasteland, rapidly losing population and businesses. [Advertisements] Not long ago, Republicans controlled Washington, Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and Colorado. Today, Democrats either totally or partially lead those states. One of the major reasons these states have become Democrat bastions is the influx of Hispanic immigration, both legal and illegal. In the last midterm election, a survey showed that 64% of Hispanic voters supported Democrat candidates, while only 33% supported Republican candidates. Migrant families, homeless will be housed at National Guard armory in Lexington. The state's filled-to-bursting Emergency Shelter system is expanding its presence into Lexington, where migrants and other homeless families will be temporarily housed at the local Massachusetts National Guard armory, the Herald has learned. The Lexington Armory building located at 459 Bedford Street, in Lexington, Massachusetts, will be used to house up to 55 migrant families while the state looks for other more permanent places to keep them, Emergency Assistance Director and retired Air National Guard Lt. Gen. Scott Rice said. "We have identified a state-owned building in Lexington to use as a safety-net site for families experiencing homelessness. Preparations are underway in close collaboration with local officials, and we expect to open the site next month," he said in an emailed statement. Biden is sending 80% of our 3rd world immigrants to Florida. In the first half of 2023, the Biden administration sent more than 100,000 illegal immigrants to Florida, home of conservative stalwart, Gov. Ron DeSantis. That's 80% of all illegal immigrants flown in during that time period. As we know, tens of thousands of illegal Haitians, Venezuelans, Cubans and Nicaraguans can only make Florida more diverse and strong, expanding its diversity and strength, and strongly diversifying its strength. Florida, like our nation, has always been a state of immigrants. In this time of bitter partisan division, it is heartening to see Biden extending an olive branch to a red state, blessing it with a gift of immigrant communities (which bring strength and diversity). Biden's Program for Inadmissible Migrants Flies Them Into 50 Cities. When the Biden administration is told that they are not allowed to do something, they find a way to work around it. In this case, Biden is flying in immigrants who are not admissible for asylum and putting them in his migrant parole program. [Advertisement] The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provided internal data to the House Homeland Security Committee Republicans after the committee issued a subpoena for the data. More than 50 cities in the United States received hundreds of thousands of migrants, flown in via Biden's controversial parole program for four nationalities. Over 80% of them were flown into four Florida airports. In eight months from January through August 2023, about 200,000 migrants flew into the United States. 80% (161,562) flew into Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, and Tampa Bay. The Biden Administration's Hispanic Chain Gang. In the shadows of our nation, a grim reality persists. Tens of thousands of Hispanic migrant children in the United States have fallen prey to the depraved clutches of human traffickers, their futures sold for profit and power in a $150 billion-a-year industry, with an administration complicit in putting them in what amounts to the chains of modern-day slavery. From the darkest corners of the internet and social media to the seedy underbelly of our streets, these innocent souls are subjected to unspeakable horrors — sexual exploitation, forced labor, and organ trafficking. The U.S. is the top destination for child trafficking. The Hispanic community, sadly, bears the brunt of targeting and exploitation, serving as unwitting pawns in the hands of the morally bankrupt — akin to sheep led to slaughter. This insidious trade thrives under the neglectful gaze of the Biden administration. DHS docs reveal where paroled migrants under controversial Biden flight program are landing. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data is revealing the more than 45 cities in the U.S. that hundreds of thousands of migrants have flown into via a controversial parole program for four nationalities — with the vast majority entering the U.S. via airports in Florida. During an eight-month period from January through August 2023, roughly 200,000 migrants flew into the U.S. via the program. Of those, 80% of them, (161,562) arrived in the state of Florida in four cities: Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa Bay, according to DHS data obtained via a subpoena by the House Homeland Security Committee and provided to Fox News. The policy was first announced for Venezuelans in October 2022, which allowed a limited number to fly or travel directly into the U.S. as long as they had not entered illegally, had a sponsor in the U.S. already, and passed certain biometric and biographical vetting. DHS Docs Show Top Cities Biden Admin Flew Migrants Under Controversial Program. Internal data obtained by Fox News via a House Homeland Security Committee subpoena to Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shows that thousands of illegal immigrants have been flowing into over 45 U.S. cities under a controversial program instated by the Biden administration. The "CHNV" migration parole program stands for Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Immigrants from these countries are eligible to participate in the parole program. The program permits them to fly into the U.S. directly under certain conditions, such as having a sponsor in the U.S. and being approved for travel. Between January and August 2023, approximately 200,000 migrants flew into the U.S. via this program. Notably, 80 percent of these arrivals, totaling 161,562 individuals, landed in four cities in Florida: Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, and Tampa. Illegals fly free — and secretly. By the time Joe Biden's term ends, if it ends, no less than 10 million illegal aliens, many of them criminals and the insane, hundreds of thousands of terrorists and spies, even members of China's military, will be within America's borders. Terrorist attacks on a previously unimaginable scale are a certainty, so likely even our feckless FBI director is warning of them, surely to cover his bureaucratic posterior. Should Biden steal a second term, America will no longer resemble America. But voting with one's feet is far from the only way illegals breach our borders with the help of Biden's Handlers: [Tweet] [...] ["]In response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, the feds have admitted that in 2023 alone they secretly flew 320,000 illegal aliens into the United States.["] [...] That's 320,000 in 2023 alone to which they'll admit. The flights, carrying numbers unknown, continue. The information was obtained only by way of FOIA because these flights, usually in unmarked aircraft, are kept strictly secret and land only at night. The Administration does this through an app that allows illegals to apply for those flights. Unvetted, they are flown directly into America at no cost, bypassing public scrutiny and cameras depicting them freely crossing our "secure" and "closed" borders. It's a dangerous myth that mass migration is good for the economy. There is no clearer example of the broken Westminster consensus than the last three decades of immigration policy. Successive governments have failed to tackle illegal migration. And as I have set out in these pages, the latest attempt — the Safety of Rwanda Act — will shortly join the graveyard of policies that haven't re-established our southern border. But as offensive and dangerous as illegal migration is, the bigger scandal is the story of legal migration because the numbers involved are so much greater. Last year, there were about 30,000 illegal small boat arrivals, but this was dwarfed by the 1.2 million people who arrived here perfectly legally. Legal migration policy has a far bigger impact on the public's day-to-day lives. As just one example, our housing crisis is increasingly an immigration crisis. As housing secretary, I managed to drag up housing starts to almost a quarter of a million (the highest level since 1986), but we would need to build an impossible 515,000 new homes every year in England alone just to cope with current levels of immigration. Majority of Americans Support Trump Plan for Mass Deportation of Illegals. President Joe Biden is underwater on nearly every issue that is important to American voters this election season. But the one issue that is becoming even more important than his dismal economy is illegal immigration. Americans are well aware that Joe Biden flinging the U.S. southern border wide open to millions of illegal immigrants from literally all over the world is a mammoth national security issue. Trump has promised that if reelected, he would begin mass deportations of the millions of illegal immigrants that have crossed the southern border, and a new poll shows that a majority of Americans might be on board with those plans. Mass Deportations? Axios commissioned a Harris poll and discovered something unsurprising, even if the establishment was shocked. Americans support mass deportations of illegal aliens. I suspect they would support mass deportations of some legal aliens who express anti-American views as well, come to think of it. [...] Americans have consistently expressed support for legal immigration but just as consistently told everyone that they don't like illegal immigration. Nobody in power has listened to them — Biden has opened the floodgates instead, with millions of illegal immigrants streaming into the country and wreaking havoc in our cities. Democrats Have Deliberately Shattered The Ties Binding America. Rampant illegal immigration also destroys American cohesion. A gold rush is going on, with illegal immigrants rushing to stake a claim before the border closes. Many, if not most, of the people coming here, have no interest or understanding of what it means to be an American and the responsibilities that go with it. They come here for the freebies. Dedication to the rule of law is an afterthought or goes out the window entirely when they storm our borders with no thought of doing it the right way. It is all downhill from there. Texas Grand Jury Indicted 140 Illegal Aliens the Day After Judge Dismissed Charges. Talk about a case of whiplash. The day after a county judge dismissed state charges against 140 illegal aliens who caused a riot against National Guard troops, a grand jury indicted the illegal aliens. Essentially, the grand jury overruled the county judge. The illegal aliens are still in jail because they have an ICE retainer against them. That's the federal jurisdiction. A county court-at-law judge found no probable cause on Monday to continue holding 140 illegal aliens at the El Paso County Jail. They were detained on state riot charges. So, El Paso County Court-at-Law No. 7 Judge Ruben Morales agreed with El Paso County Chief Public Defender Kelli Childress that there was not enough evidence presented to charge them. Childress accused authorities of trying to make headlines. These are some of the illegal aliens who stampeded over the Texas border crossing and began a riot to get across the border. A Massive Brawl Between A Horde Of Illegals In NYC. Mobs of rowdy migrants got into an all-out brawl outside a Midtown hotel, swinging sticks, belts and even traffic cones during the violent, broad-daylight melee, shocking new video shows. At least two men are seen wearing bicycle helmets as the two sides square off in the middle of the street — even as motorists stream by in the middle of the brawl. It is unclear what sparked the brawl and the NYPD did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Row is one of dozens of hotels and shelters converted to house asylum seekers flowing into the Big Apple from the US border with Mexico. [Video clip] Illegals Shipped to Martha's Vineyard Granted 'Victim of Crime' Visas. Several illegal immigrants flown to Martha's Vineyard by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis were granted "victim of crime" visas this week, allowing them to remain and work in the U.S. — just not in the exclusive leftist vacation enclave, from which they were promptly removed upon arrival. The migrants applied for the special type of visa, known as a U-visa, last year after arriving in the ritzy Massachusetts town, alleging they were duped into boarding the charter flight with the false promise of jobs and housing. At least 49 of the migrants on the flight have since been granted U-visas, according to local outlet GBH. According to their attorney, Rachel Self, the visa means they can now apply for jobs legally and that they can't be deported while they wait for the visa to come through. The U-visa often leads to permanent lawful status in the U.S., as well, she said. The Editor says... Biden considering amnesty for over 1 million illegal immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens. Joe Biden is considering an executive order that would grant amnesty to the more than 1 million illegal immigrants who married U.S. citizens but were barred from receiving green cards. The President is looking at taking further actions to address both the southern border crisis and illegal immigrants living in the U.S. ahead of the 2024 election as a large chunk of Americans rank the issue as their top priority. Although immigrants, even those living in the U.S. illegally, are typically able to gain citizenship when they marry American citizens there are a number of reasons why they may have been given the benefit. The Left's Long War on Using 'Illegal Aliens'. We're now apparently in the era where using the term "birthing person" makes you a thoughtful speaker and saying "illegal alien" gets you suspended — at least if you're one North Carolina high schooler. Last week, "in Davidson County, North Carolina, 16-year-old student Christian McGhee was suspended for three days for using the term 'illegal alien' in class when clarifying the word 'alien' in a vocabulary lesson," writes Donna King, editor in chief of the Carolina Journal. "A classmate reportedly threatened to fight Christian over his word choice, but both students and their teacher insisted the exchange was innocent, and the other student's outrage was in jest," adds King, who notes the absurdity of politically correct terms such as "birthing person" and "uterus owners" in her column about the incident. So to recap: Christian, a teenager, reportedly didn't call someone an illegal alien, but simply asked the teacher if he was referring to an illegal alien or, say, a little green creature. But even voicing the term was enough to get him suspended. Colorado Turns Schools into Welfare Agencies as Thousands of Needy Migrant Children Enroll. Denver and other Colorado communities have transformed schools into welfare agencies as tens of thousands of children of illegal border crossers flood into the state's schools, where they get free food, clothing, shoes, healthcare, and education at taxpayers' expense. The Washington Post reported the transformation of the Centennial State's schools from educational facilities to full-on welfare agencies where kids of all ages — many of whom have never gone to school in their entire lives — are enrolled by the thousands. Judge declares mistrial in case of Arizona rancher charged with murder of Mexican national on border property. A jury was unable to reach a verdict in the case of Arizona rancher George Alan Kelly, who was accused of second-degree murder in connection to the death of a Mexican national found fatally shot on his borderland ranch in January 2023. The jury began deliberating April 18. After days of being unable to reach a verdict, the judge overseeing the trial declared a mistrial on Monday. The case centered around the death of Mexican national Gabriel Cuen-Buitimea, who was found shot to death on Kelly's 170-acre cattle ranch near Keno Springs outside Nogales, Arizona, on Jan. 30, 2023. Illegal aliens understand that none of the rules apply to them. Once upon a time, illegal aliens cowered in the shadows, and Democrats told us that was wrong. Now, Democrats have de facto legalized illegal immigration, and the aliens no longer cower. Instead, they make it plain that they have the upper hand and are entitled to free food, free lodging, and freedom from America's laws and rules. The most recent example is the group of illegal aliens who refused to yield a soccer field to a boys' youth soccer game in New York City. We routinely hear stories of illegal aliens complaining that they don't like the free food they get or that their free accommodations are substandard. [...] We've also seen an escalating number of illegal aliens murder people, rape people, commit acts of pedophilia, drive drunk, engage in illegal drug dealing, mug people, rob houses, and otherwise commit a variety of illegal acts. Leftists assure us, though, that these bad actors are just a small percentage of the illegal aliens who come here. Migrants Complain That New Yorkers Don't Learn African Languages. A hearing held earlier this week in New York by the Council's immigration and hospital committees saw black migrants who have arrived in the city airing their grievances about public services they have been provided, including food and accommodation, with one woman even complaining that New Yorkers won't learn Congolese languages. The hearing drew over a thousand immigrants, mostly from countries in Africa, and many illegally in the country, with some claiming that they had been promised money, green cards or work visas if they attended. [Tweet] While only 250 of them were allowed inside, the rest congregated outside in a park protesting. [Tweet] African Invaders Complain That Americans Speak English. On Tuesday some of the numberless hordes of illegal aliens from Africa pouring into New York City swamped the area around City Hall and aired their belligerent grievances. As noted at the time: ["]Their dissatisfaction will be easy for Democrats to weaponize against the native population the newcomers have been imported to displace.["] What could they possibly have to complain about, considering they have invaded our country in contravention of our laws, yet instead of being kicked out are provided with free food, housing, and even prepaid debit cards? For one thing, we keep speaking English instead of learning Africa's many languages: [Tweet with video clip] African Illegals at NYC City Council Complain About Free Food and Housing. African illegals at a New York City Council meeting complained about the free (taxpayer-funded) food and housing provided to them. More than 1,300 illegal aliens from Africa swarmed New York City Hall on Tuesday after they were falsely promised work visas and green cards. The illegals were lined up outside of New York City Hall as far as the eye could see. Africans in Islamic garb swarmed the sidewalk. Senate Dismisses Impeachment Charges Against Mayorkas. The Democratic-held Senate voted on Wednesday to dismiss both articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas. The House voted to impeach Mayorkas on Feb. 13 over his handling of the crisis at the southern border, and presented the articles to the upper chamber on Tuesday. The Senate quickly killed the impeachment trial across party lines, with the upper chamber voting down the first article 51 to 48 and the second 51 to 49. Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska voted "present" for the first article of impeachment. "We've set a very unfortunate precedent here," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said after the vote. "This means that the Senate can ignore, in effect, the House's impeachment. It doesn't make any difference whether our friends on the other side thought he should of be impeached or not, he was. And by doing what we just did, we have, in effect, ignored the directions of the House, which were to have a trial. No evidence, no procedure — this is a day that's not a proud day in the history of the Senate." Senate Democrats kill both articles of impeachment against DHS Secretary Mayorkas. Both articles of impeachment against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas were deemed unconstitutional by the Senate on Wednesday in two party-line votes. The first of two articles of impeachment alleged Mayorkas engaged in the "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" regarding the southern border in his capacity as DHS secretary. The second claimed Mayorkas had breached public trust. A disgrace for the US Senate. There is no more room in our country for fools; we are full up. We have been bested by the best of fools — the U.S. Senate, in which today, mostly thanks to Chuck Schumer but really thanks to all the Democrats in the Senate, it has been made clear that no tradition, no constitutional respect, and no national empathy exists anymore on Capitol Hill. The American people are past being outmaneuvered and now stand askance, beaten down by the fools and rogues in D.C. with far too much power on their hands and far too weak to care. These senators all well know the critical jam we're in with Biden's open border — and today, they not only let us know they don't care, but rub our noses in it, not even allowing our fears and our despair their day in court. The Republicans were outfoxed and shamed by the most cynical "point of order" from Majority Leader Schumer at his bully pulpit. (Senator John Kennedy called Schumer's point of order "specious," and right he was.) Schumer unilaterally declared that the first article of impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas, brought to the Senate from the House, was 'unconstitutional" because it did not delineate impeachable offenses. Total hogwash. Congress Alarmed by Flyers in Mexico Urging Illegal Aliens to Vote Biden. The "vote for President Biden" flyers found at a center for migrants in Mexico constitute foreign meddling in U.S. elections, congressional Republicans say. Amid the ongoing crisis of illegal immigration at the southern border, the lawmakers decried flyers posted at the migrant services center near Brownsville, Texas, that tell illegal aliens: "Reminder to vote for President Biden when you are in the United States." "Joe Biden has sacrificed our nation's safety and security in his pursuit to get as many people here as possible. Why? Because he believes these are future Democrat voters," Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., told The Daily Signal. "This is election interference orchestrated at the highest levels. We have to get our hands around this — Americans have to have complete confidence in their elections," Marshall said. "Any NGO receiving federal funds and pushing illegal get-out-the-vote efforts for Joe Biden should be stripped of their funding immediately." Mass Deportations Would Lower Housing Prices. Housing prices are out of control. As any economist will tell you, there are two ways to bring the price of a good down: increase the supply or reduce the demand. [Advertisement] Building houses — increasing the supply — is a complex and relatively difficult business. It requires time, labor, materials, and expertise. It is also environmentally taxing. Building lots of houses in quick succession can easily lead to urban sprawl, congestion, and unaesthetic cookie-cutter suburbs stretched out to the horizon. Residents of Dallas-Fort Worth know exactly what I'm talking about. [The same advertisement again] But there is, of course, another way to reduce the cost of housing in America — we could reduce demand. And there is, helpfully, a very easy way to do this: mass deportations. [Another advertisement] The Biden administration has let in some 8 million legal and illegal migrants since 2021. That equates to a roughly 7% increase in the national population and a concomitant rise in the demand for housing. Illegals Instructed to Vote Biden for Border NGO to 'Stay Open'. An advocacy group based in Northeastern Mexico that lobbies U.S. lawmakers has distributed and posted flyers encouraging illegal immigrants to vote for President Joe Biden in the 2024 election, according to The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project. Translated from Spanish, the Oversight Project notes, the flyers posted by the organization Resource Center Matamoros say: "Reminder to vote for President Biden when you are in the United States. We need another four years of his term to stay open." Resource Center Matamoros describes itself as "a leading non-governmental organization providing trauma-informed care." [Tweet] Sec. Mayorkas Admits They Don't Oversee and Stop Illegals Voting. Alejandro Mayorkas admitted there are no mechanisms in place to prevent illegal immigrants from potentially registering and voting in U.S. elections. It's not his job. His job is to protect the border. In other words, he does nothing. Mayorkas was a Board member on the board of an NGO who works with an NGO accused of telling illegal aliens to vote for Joe Biden when they come in. [Tweet with video clip] The impeachment articles of Secretary Mayorkas were walked over to the Senate today. We'll see what Schumer will do with them, likely nothing. During the hearing, Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene blasted DHS Secretary Mayorkas over the bombshell finding of flyers allegedly put up by NGOs and paid for by US taxpayers. The flyers tell illegal aliens to vote for Biden in our election. Mayorkas is remarkably arrogant and isn't a bit concerned about Republicans. 1300 Africans Swarm NY City Hall Demanding Hotel Rooms. New York City is done. Illegal aliens, communists, religious fascists, corrupt politicians — judges — DA — and academics govern the city. There is no sign that residents will vote for normal leaders. We have foreigners lured by lies, demanding hotel rooms. NGOs are telling them to demand hotel rooms. In New York City, Africans, lured by the promise of work and green cards, demand nice hotel rooms. Over 1,300 African migrants, predominantly from Guinea, swarmed New York City Hall on Tuesday morning. Lured by false promises of green cards and work visas, an activist group reportedly summoned the mob of new arrivals. These activist groups are people who want to destroy the country. The wokes of New York City are meeting to see how they can meet their needs with our tax money. [Tweet] Thousands Of Illegals Flood NYC City Hall To Protest Move Out Of Luxury Hotels. New York City is now being protested by illegal aliens after they are moved out of their tax-payer funded hotels into shelters. The people of New York City are trying to cover their own expenses, they can't afford to pay for the criminals that have been lured into the US by Democrat and Republican politicians alike. Notice, once again, that these are mostly military-aged men. [Numerous tweets] US schools hit with 'unprecedented strain' due to vast numbers of migrant children being released. Since President Biden took office in early 2021, nearly half a million unaccompanied children have crossed over the U.S. border with Mexico, according to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data. That staggering figure "does not include children who arrived with a family member," the Washington Examiner reports. "Of the 464,000, roughly 391,000 children have been released into the country between fiscal 2021 and January 2024," the outlet reports. "Fiscal 2021 began shortly before the November 2020 election while President Donald Trump was still in office." US Border Patrol's San Diego processing centers reach eye-popping 245% capacity. The US Border Patrol has more than twice as many migrants as they can hold in the San Diego area of the southern border — and immigrants there were thanking President Biden for letting them in. The agency's processing centers in the region are 245% capacity, as 1,812 migrants were being detained as of Friday in facilities normally meant to hold 750, according to agency data exclusively obtained by The [New York] Post. With the influx — and the fact that migrants can only be held 72 hours — there's been more than 125,000 migrants released onto the streets of San Diego since September. Biden Admin Has Flown Over 400,000 Migrants To Airports Across US. The U.S. has flown in over 400,000 migrants from a host of countries since President Joe Biden took office, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Under the Biden administration's CHNV program, some nationals hailing from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela can be eligible to come to the United States "in a safe and orderly way" and obtain humanitarian parole status, meaning they are here legally and can obtain work authorization. Over 400,000 migrants hailing from these nations have been flown into airports across the U.S. as of March, CBP said in a statement on Friday [4/12/2024]. Jaw-dropping number of migrants arrive in San Diego in a single week. San Diego saw a staggering 6,997 migrant encounters in just seven days at the start of April in an alarming indicator of the worsening border crisis, DailyMail.com can reveal. The number is around the same as other sectors normally see in an entire month, and only reflects those who were caught[,] meaning the true scale is likely higher. 'Unfortunately, I'm not surprised,' San Diego County Commissioner Jim Desmond told DailyMail.com Thursday. 'Texas is clamping down and other areas are clamping down. DHS Chief Mayorkas: 'Preposterous' to Suggest Biden Importing Migrants to Create Permanent Democrat Majority. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says it is "preposterous" to suggest that President Joe Biden is importing millions of migrants to the United States to inflate political power in favor of Democrats. During a Senate budget hearing on Wednesday, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) asked Mayorkas if it is a fact "that the number of illegal immigrants that you and the president allow into our country counts for congressional district reapportionment?" Mayorkas initially responded, saying "I'm not sure I understand your question but I can surely share with you that I disagree with its phrasing." Kennedy asked again, "Isn't it true that the number of illegal immigrants that you and President Biden have allowed into our country counts in allocating electoral votes?" to which Mayorkas eventually responded, "The notion, Senator, that we intend to allow illegal immigration is nothing short of preposterous." When It Comes To Immigration, Misplaced Compassion Will Destroy America. From its beginning, the land that became America experienced a series of waves of immigration, which included approximately 86 million people through 2019, a number that has increased to approximately 100 million over the last 5 years. Although Donald Trump stemmed the tide somewhat, Joe Biden has opened up the floodgates with more than 10 million illegal immigrants pouring over our now-nonexistent border since his installation. That's fully 3% of the US population. As significant numbers of those people are heading to New York, California, and other blue states, which roll out the red carpet and give them free money, the Democrats are grateful because this swelling population helps their congressional numbers. This is simply not sustainable. Particularly when the overwhelming majority of the people coming across the border are from countries that don't share our values and have little experience with the freedoms that helped create history's greatest nation and economy. Words Aren't Enough. The chaos at the border is starting to show its destructive side in cities and towns, especially where black and Hispanic citizens see the illegals getting special treatment. Homeless shelters, schools and parks are being used to house illegals. They are being given gift cards with thousands of dollars loaded onto them, free housing, free meals, free medical care. An American citizen doesn't get those same benefits, not even veterans. This is a special class of people, these illegal aliens, above anyone else in the nation. Everyone, except them, have to show ID to buy tobacco, get on a plane, go through TSA, buy a gun, but these special citizens don't have to do all of that. The Democrats are even pushing to make it legal for them to vote. That's the reason they're here, right? That's why they're given every advantage paid for by those citizens who have jobs and have their taxes taken out to pay the bill for the freeloaders. The double-whammy aspect of this is that when/if Trump returns and these benefits disappear, they can blame it all on him. Biden's open border policy is compromising our national security. In 2011, the U.S. Border Patrol apprehended 125,821 illegal immigrants in Texas alone. This high volume of illegal immigration presents significant challenges to Texas and the entire U.S., including economic, social, and security concerns. The influx of undocumented immigrants can strain public resources and social services, leading to potential economic challenges. It is essential to find a balance between humanitarian concerns and fiscal responsibility. Economically, illegal immigrants impose a significant burden on the state's resources. They account for about 14% of the students in Texas public schools when U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants are included, costing the state around $3.75 billion annually. Furthermore, illegal immigrants are more likely to live in poverty, with about 58% taking advantage of welfare programs, which cost the state an additional $803.3 million annually. Cruz Has a Warning for Senate Democrats Looking to Table Articles of Impeachment Against Mayorkas. On Tuesday, as Townhall covered, House Republicans decided to delay delivery of the impeachment articles against Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas at the request of Senate Republicans. Despite how the Senate Democrats' plan has been slammed as "unprecedented," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) still looks to avoid having the chamber go through with its constitutional duty. Per POLITICO's Burgess Everett, Senate Democrats are still looking to deal with the impeachment effort "as expeditiously as possible." [Tweet] Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who has been among those Republicans most vocal about the need for holding the trial, addressed the issue during Wednesday's episode of his podcast, "The Verdict." "Schumer wants it incredibly quick, incredibly silent. He doesn't want Senate Democrats on record, he doesn't want any of the facts revealed to the American people," Cruz shared with his co-host Ben Ferguson. 'You've Done Nothing for Four Years': Senator Kennedy Roasts Alejandro Mayorkas. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas appeared before lawmakers on Capitol Hill Wednesday as Congress considers 2025 budget requests from the executive branch, and Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) was ready to go when his time to ask the impeached Biden administration official some questions. "It gives me no joy to say this, but most Republicans don't trust you," Sen. Kennedy said to Mayorkas. "A vast majority of the American people don't trust you — that's why you've been impeached," he reminded. "Now, my Democratic colleagues are going to try and sweep your impeachment under the rug and violate 200 years of Senate precedent in doing it," continued Sen. Kennedy, referring to Senate Democrats' attempts to avoid proceeding with an official trial for Mayorkas following the House's impeachment of the DHS secretary. Acknowledging that his upper chamber colleagues across the aisle may succeed in sweeping the trial under the proverbial rug, Kennedy reminded that they still wouldn't succeed in hiding the larger issue of the Biden administration's self-inflicted border crisis. A Few Good Reasons Future Generations Will Mock Us. [#3] We allowed ourselves to be replaced. Sure, your grandfather seems grotesque for allowing a doctor to place leeches on his skin or sitting in a filthy Saratoga Springs bathtub to "take in the waters" for his health. Wanna know what Gramps didn't do? He didn't sit back as his nation was taken over. Grandad lied about his age so he could fight tyranny in French hedgerows or on an island thousands of miles away he'd never heard of. Grandma built B-24 bombers in Willow Run, Mich. We sat back and merely whined as our large blue cities went broke caring for illegal immigrants before sending them into our communities. We complained as our elderly were booted from nursing homes to make room for people who shouldn't be here in the first place, but we didn't do anything. 'Muchas gracias' for all those remittances. Today I learned that the peso is strong. That's actually a double-edged sword because it makes Cancun more expensive for U.S. tourists but going shopping in the U.S. cheaper for Mexicans. So what's going on? Well, remittances are going south and that makes the Lopez-Obrador government say "muchas gracias" to all those Mexicans in the U.S. keeping their families afloat. Speaker Johnson's Mishandling Of Mayorkas Impeachment Evidence Could Botch Case, Source Says. Republicans may struggle to convict Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas in his impeachment trial due to Speaker Mike Johnson's mishandling of the evidence, a Capitol Hill source told the Caller Tuesday. Impeachment managers tasked with prosecuting the case against Mayorkas expressed concerns about the "ill-prepared evidence" against the Secretary and laid the blame squarely on Speaker Johnson, the senate aide told the Daily Caller. [Advertisement] [Tweet] "The ill-prepared evidence is just an indication that Johnson's folks didn't do a good job on putting this together, weren't planning on fighting it, and were counting on Schumer to deep-six before they got a chance," the source told the Daily Caller. Guess who is short of farm workers? How long before the Mexican government of Andres Manuel Lopez-Obrador starts calling for Mexicans to come home and pick some strawberries? Like everything, this one is a bit complicado. First, it's more lucrative to go north, cut grass or whatever, and send $100 to your mom than to do back-breaking labor at home to earn much less than that. They call that cash remesas, or remittances, and for Mexico, it adds up to $60 billion a year. It keeps a lot of families going! Second, does Mexico want remesas or Mexicans working on their farms? It's a tough call no matter how much they miss their people. Another problem is that Mexicans are not having babies like they used to. It's around two per woman, down from six a generation ago. Joe Biden Balloons 'Temporary' Amnesty to Include 1.2M Foreign Nationals. President Joe Biden has helped balloon the number of foreign nationals living in the United States who are eligible or receiving Temporary Protected Status (TPS), making them ineligible for deportation, to nearly 1.2 million. Analysis from the Pew Research Center reveals that as of late last month, almost 1.2 million foreign nationals are eligible or receiving TPS so they can stay in the U.S., secure work permits, and avoid deportation. Since taking office, Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has added Afghanistan, Burma, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ukraine, and Venezuela to the list of countries where nationals residing in the U.S. but who do not have any immigration status can qualify for TPS. Chicago's Far-Left Mayor Demands Biden Issue Work Permits to Half a Million Illegals. Chicago's far-left Mayor Brandon Johnson has petitioned the Biden administration to hand out to the nearly half a million illegals living in Illinois. Johnson, who was elected mayor a year ago, met with business and immigration advocates on Thursday where he touted a letter signed by other leaders across the state of Illinois. [...] Chicago is among the many U.S. cities drowning under the weight of tens of thousands of new arrivals, the vast majority of whom have crossed the southern border illegally and are now seeking to gain the right to work. Last December, Mayor Johnson begged the Biden administration for additional funding to help ease the cost of the city's illegal immigrant crisis. Migrants in Mexico hoping to cross the southern border say they want Biden to win in November. Migrants camped out in Mexico say they want Joe Biden to win the November election[,] because Donald Trump will never let them into the United States if he gets back into the White House. Hundreds of migrants are enduring the muddy, smelly encampment in Matamoros while they wait — for how long remains a question — for appointments with Customs and Border Protection. But they all have one big worry that is out of their control: If they don't make it over the border by election day, they say they need Biden to prevail over Donald Trump[,] who has promised to crack down on the border. Somebody must have given AMLO what he wanted. Aliens Voting. The southern border crisis has reached new heights under President Biden. Now, viral footage shows migrants rushing the National Guard and cutting down border fencing. The data backs up the images Americans are seeing on TV. Arrests for illegal border crossings from Mexico have reached an all-time high. I could just as easily be describing our border in 2015 or even a decade before. Some of these foreigners will get drivers licenses and, therefore mistakenly get added to American voter rolls. We have researched this issue for years, and there is hard data to back it up. We already have government records from states across the country that reveal aliens have been registering and voting in American elections. Yes, you read that right: foreigners are casting ballots in American elections. It is not a myth or Bigfoot. It is happening. The number one source for alien registration is the DMV registration system. The overwhelming majority of foreigners who end up registered to vote come through the DMV. The second most prevalent is student visas. Illegal border crossers comprise a smaller percentage of aliens to get registered. Data support these conclusions. Texas National Guard Retakes Control of El Paso Border — Installs Miles of Razor-Wire and a New Anti-Climb Fence. On Tuesday morning, the Texas National Guard defied the Biden regime and again took control of the El Paso border, installing concertina wire (razor wire) and a new anti-climb fence. The new security measures are in place to prevent illegals from rioting and tearing apart the previous razor wire barrier as they did on March 21st. Fox News Channel's Matt Finn obtained exclusive access to the new barrier, which can be viewed below. Finn notes it bears similarities to another wall in Eagle Pass. Looks Like Payback: DHS Targets Texas, Florida with Secret Migrant Flights. The Biden administration is secretly using migrant flights to dump illegal aliens into the United States. It turns out that most of them are being flown into Florida and Texas. Hmm. Is it a coincidence that two red states that are being vigilant in securing their borders are receiving 90% of the migrant flights? I don't think so. The Center for Immigration Studies analyzed available public information on U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) website. It's difficult to know the full picture since the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) refuses to publicly identify the dozens of international airports it has approved for direct flights from abroad for some inadmissible aliens. At least 386,000 migrants, as of February, have been allowed to fly into the U.S. airports as part of President Biden's admissions program launched in October 2022. The rationale for the program is to reduce the number of illegal border crossings. They are flown in and then released on parole. Voters Express Support for Mass Deportation of Illegal Aliens. Former President Donald Trump has the edge on President Joe Biden in the critical swing state of Michigan, according to a Spry Strategies poll, continuing a trend in the Wolverine State that has persisted for months. The poll, released Tuesday night, also finds that most voters in the state back mass deportation of illegal aliens. In a head-to-head matchup with Biden, Trump leads 48 percent to 43.7 percent. Another 8.3 percent of respondents were unsure or did not have an opinion on who they would back if the election were today. Start With Construction. When a future administration someday deals sternly with this nation-dividing issue of illegal immigration, they'll need to begin by removing the job thieves imported here by cartels from South America and elsewhere. They'll also have to heavily fine, if not bankrupt, some of the companies hiring these illegals. They must start the deportations with construction workers here illegally in the U.S. According to conservative estimates, 25-30% of all construction workers in the U.S. are illegal immigrants. That thirty percent amounts to 3.3 million illegal workers in construction alone. People who empathize with the imported job thieves misplace their sympathy at the expense of their friends, neighbors, kin, and themselves. Save your sympathy for people who are from here, please. The "latecomers" don't get a pass on the law because they have a sob story and are from a foreign country. Migrant Caravan Heads to El Paso. A migrant caravan is making its way from southern Mexico to the Texas border. It is expected to arrive in the El Paso area in a few days. There are about 2,000 people in the caravan. One video reported that there were 3,000 marching in the caravan. [Advertisement] [Tweet] In this video, the leader speaks through a bullhorn and leads a chant - "A la Frontera, which means "To the border." The group said in Spanish, "We are not criminals, we are international workers." [Tweet] What can go wrong? The caravan will likely be divided up into smaller groups by the cartels so that they can more easily invade Texas. Church-run border shelters are preparing for the influx of illegal aliens, though housing is scarce because of the thousands of those already here. Florida goes to war over Biden migrant flights. Gov. Ron DeSantis is fighting back hard against a program that allows President Joe Biden's administration to fly migrants to Florida without notifying officials first and wants to make Florida 'undesirable' for illegal immigrants. The Biden administration's CNHV program allows 30,000 undocumented migrants to be released into the country every month. And a new analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) on Monday reveals a vast majority of migrants flown into the U.S. are landing in Miami. Lawyers for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) refused earlier this year to disclose in a FOIA request which airports migrants arriving on the program were landing after boarding flights in Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela (CNHV). Report: Hundreds of Thousands of Migrants Fly into Miami to Score Joe Biden's Parole Benefits. Hundreds of thousands of migrants have been authorized to fly into Miami, Florida — among dozens of other United States airports — as part of a parole pipeline that President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) created and implemented. The airports where migrants are flying into the U.S. were revealed in a report from Todd Bensman with the Center for Immigration Studies. The US Canadian Border is Being Flooded with Illegals. Let me explain something: within a few hours of taking the White House, Biden's very first order was to open the borders. They are flooding the country with nearly 14 million illegal aliens, and that does not count the people who were not caught. I am getting emails from people who were waited on by an illegal alien waitress who barely spoke English and did not even comprehend that when you order drinks, they come before the meal. This seems to be an interesting new twist. If I want to migrate to Zurich, I have to speak German. This is all about changing America for politics. El Paso Judge Orders Release Of Migrants Who Stormed Texas Border. On Easter Sunday a magistrate judge in El Paso, Texas, ordered the release of migrants who were charged with rioting after a large group stormed the border, tearing down razor wire and clashing with members of the Texas National Guard in the process. Presiding Magistrate Judge Humberto Acosta delivered the ruling after accusing the El Paso District Attorney's office of failing to prepare properly and thus not being ready and "not being ready to proceed with detention hearings for each defendant," The El Paso Times reported on Sunday. With 'Friends' Like Mexico's Obrador, Who Needs Enemies Like Putin, Xi, Kim Jong Un and the Ayatollahs? In a recent 60 Minutes interview, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador — who prefers to be known as AMLO for short — issued to the Biden administration blackmail demands that sounded more like existential threats. AMLO warned the U.S. that the current influx of some 10 million illegal aliens through the southern border will most certainly continue — unless America agrees to his ultimatums. One, Obrador says the U.S. must now send $20 billion in de facto bribery payments to Latin American nations, many of them corrupt and dysfunctional. Apparently, he thinks it is America's fault that millions of Latin Americans are fleeing these failed states northward, not the inept and corrupt governments that create such misery. Boston plans to fill former veteran housing with [illegal im]migrants. Massachusetts residents are outraged at recently announced plans to turn a former Boston area veteran housing unit into a homeless shelter as the city is inundated with migrants. Democrat Governor Maura Healey revealed the government will turn the former Chelsea Soldiers' Home facility, which is vacant and scheduled for demolition, into a safety-net site in April. It will be able to accommodate 100 families who are eligible for the state's Emergency Assistance family shelter system, which has been operating at capacity for months. We Must Have Courage To Take Back Our Country. The invasion across our borders reflects the inaction we see in Congress, coupled with an empowered bureaucracy and the hard left-leaning Marxist progressive press, which is louder and more activist each day. Our defenses have crumbled. In a 60-Minutes interview this week, the President of Mexico threatened America, saying he'd send even more migrants to the border if the U.S. does not do what he says: ["]The U.S. must commit $20 billion a year to poor countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, lift sanctions on Venezuela, end the Cuban embargo, and legalize millions of law-abiding Mexicans.["] Immigration, primarily illegal, has profoundly affected us, Too few of us can see how fast our standards, laws, customs, and beliefs are changing. This should have happened at least a year ago: The Path to Victory for Trump. The key to Trump's reelection this fall, then, is to make the straightforward case that his term was demonstrably better for the median American citizen than Biden's term has been. [...] On the border, Biden has presided over the worst crisis in American history: Endless streams of unknown illegal aliens have flooded over, leading to a massive strain on municipalities' resources, skyrocketing violent crime, depressed wages for working-class Americans, and the mass importation of terrorism-implicating "special interest aliens." Trump, by contrast, may not have finished construction of the border wall, but illegal immigration was orders of magnitude lower than it is today due in no small part to the prudent measures he implemented, such as Remain in Mexico. Majority of Hispanics Disagree with Biden, Say Calling Laken Riley's Alleged Killer 'Illegal' Is Appropriate. An overwhelming majority of Hispanic Americans say calling the illegal alien accused of murdering 22-year-old Laken Riley an "illegal," as President Joe Biden initially did, is appropriate, a Harvard/Harris poll finds. During his State of the Union (SOTU) address this month, Biden was pressured by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to address Laken Riley's murder. Biden ultimately called the suspect accused of murdering Riley, Jose Antonio Ibarra, "an illegal." Afterward, Biden seemingly told MSNBC he regretted using the term "illegal." Biden's Boss Tightens the Screws: Mexico's president has America hooked on what he's selling. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador was so supremely confident that his thumb on the scale can tip the U.S. presidential election that he just issued a cash demand to President Biden along with a threat: give me money or Donald Trump wins. The spectacle, shameful for all parties, played out on the grand stage of CBS's 60 Minutes Sunday broadcast. [...] Biden's immigration policy registers as so deeply unpopular with the American people that López Obrador offered the old "silver-or-lead" option to the Biden campaign on national television. If President Biden wants his mass migration crisis to recede from public view before the election, López Obrador will slow the flow of migrants — for the ripe price of a $20 billion down payment. This cash would be sent under the paper-thin cover of the debunked "root causes" theory of mass migration, which proposes that money from the destination country can rebuild countries generating outmigration so that their citizens want to stay. Biden Losing Minorities. The transition of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden in 2021 entailed rejecting strict migration policies, shutting down the Remain in Mexico program, and ceasing the construction of a wall on the border with Mexico. The result was that, over the past three years, 7.2 million migrants illegally entered the United States. Biden is well aware of the problems on the border, but he and his government are not taking any significant measures to stabilize the situation. At the same time, White House press secretary Karin Jean-Pierre says that "the president has done more to secure the border and to deal with the issue of immigration than anybody else," spreading deliberately false information. America Is Under Siege and Its Leaders Don't Seem to Care. Disturbing video of illegal aliens storming the border is further evidence that America is under siege while its leaders are asleep at the wheel. Earlier this month, a group of more than 100 illegal aliens stormed the U.S. border, breaking through razor wire local authorities in Texas had built, and overwhelming members of the state National Guard. [...] Last year, a similar video shocked the nation, that time showing a group of roughly 1,000 illegal aliens storming a bridge near El Paso, Texas, while attempting to force their way into the United States. There has been much debate in political and legal circles as to whether or not the word "invasion" is an appropriate term to use when describing the current crisis at the border. According to the Cambridge Dictionary, one definition of invasion is "the act of entering a place by force, often in large numbers." This raises the question: How can anyone watch this video or the similar one from last year and not conclude that America is under invasion? Here is the non sequitur of the week: The Editor says... 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: 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... 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... 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. [Tweet with video clip] 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. Drone Footage Of A Massive Illegal Immigrant Migrant Camp In Brooklyn, New York. If not for citizen journalists you'd have no idea how massive these illegal immigrant centers are. [Video clip] 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. Dem 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... 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... 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." This dude snuck inside the Roosevelt Hotel to see the migrants ... tell me if you see any women or kids in this video cuz I sure don't. [Tweet with video clip] That's all men, right? Military-aged men who illegally entered a nation and are taking advantage of social systems meant for citizens. An invasion force, if you will. 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. Elon Musk: 'There Is Either a Red Wave This November or America Is Doomed'. Twitter/X 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... 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... 8M 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? 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... 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.

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. 64 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. 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. Conspiracy Theory Proven True: Illegal Aliens Claim They'll Be Voting For Joe Biden. [Video clip only.] 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... 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™:
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. American Sheriff Who Exposed Illegal Immigrants Receiving Cell Phones, Plane Tickets and Cash Is Back With Receipts And Proof. [Video clip only.] 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! 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. Border Showdown: Republican Governors Across U.S. Stand with Texas Against Feds. A growing list of Republican governors announced they stand with Texas Governor Greg Abbott in the State's showdown against the Biden administration over the seized border park in Eagle Pass, Texas. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson also stated his support. A who's who of Republican governors announced their support for the State of Texas and Governor Abbott's fight against the Biden administration's open border policies. The list includes Florida Governor 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:
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. The Editor says... 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: 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 Editor says... 'There Is A Plan To Destroy America': TSA Sign Says Migrants Without ID Can Choose Not To Have Photo Taken When Entering U.S.. A photo taken from Miami International Airport showed a notice from the Transportation Security Administration indicating that migrants entering the U.S. at the airport did not have to supply a photo or have their photo taken in order to enter the country. Political commentator Dave Rubin snapped the photo, tweeting, "This is the state of absolute insanity happening at our airports. I'm in the Pre-TSA line, where migrants don't have to have an ID to get through security and it's their choice whether they want their picture taken. There is a plan to destroy America." You're Going To Get Dirty. [Scroll down] If you want freedom, you're going to get dirty. By all evidence, we are mere steps away from a global war. I believe the Western powers will lose it, that when it starts the U.S. will have its legs ripped out from under it by 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:
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 asking private homeowners to take in illegal aliens as the state runs out of room to house the thousands of border crossers who are still flooding into the Bay State. 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. The Editor says... One Democrat Blasts Biden's Handling Of Border: 'An Unmitigated, Embarrassing, Unforgivable Disaster'. Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) ripped President Joe Biden during 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 have an interesting story that reveals just how far the Biden team seems to have gone to undermine 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. Blue State Dems Aren't Hiding It Anymore, Move Closer to Forcing American Homeowners to Shelter Illegals. We've written recently about New York and other blue states making life more and more inconvenient for American citizens living there, over the (at least in their way of thinking) more urgent needs of illegal aliens, who continue to stream daily across our southern border. A story that continues to linger in my mind is the one from a few days ago, about New York City making high school kids return to the remote learning model from COVID lockdowns — so that undocumented people who were being sheltered in tents could bunk down inside the school gym during bad weather. That didn't fly with many people, [...] 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. Senate 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 encourage more foreign graduates to take jobs from American graduates, says the Immigration Accountability Project. "There's nothing in there that [restricts immigration], in fact, it's 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 2023 shows there were only 142K deportations despite there being over 3.2 million KNOWN border encounters. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have officially released 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. Next Comes Billeting Illegal Aliens in Our Homes. First they ask; soon they tell. Before our eyes, Democrats are handing over our country to the unlawful foreign invaders they have invited to pour across the undefended border from every unsavory corner of the globe. Why wouldn't they do the same with our homes? The Third Amendment protects us from being forced to quarter soldiers. But this may not apply to the highly irregular troops Democrats have brought in to fundamentally transform the country. Nor will anything else in the Constitution apply if they succeed. Texas National Guard Seizes Control of Illegal Border Crossing Hot Spot; Blocks Feds From the Area. On Governor Greg Abbott's orders, the Texas National Guard has seized control of a park in Eagle Pass where masses of illegal immigrants come through, Fox News' Bill Melugin reported Thursday night. In a statement, the Texas Military Department (TMD) said they were blocking U.S. Border Patrol agents from accessing Shelby Park because the Feds "perpetuate illegal crossings." Shelby Park is where Border Patrol agents have been caught cutting the razor wire along the border to help illegal aliens get through. Maine Builds New Rent-Free Apartments for Migrants Paid by State's Taxpayers. Maine's taxpayers are footing the bill for new apartments built specifically for newly arrived border crossers and illegal aliens who will have at least two years' worth of rent paid for. This week, Maine officials in Brunswick unveiled new apartments that will go to border crossers and illegal aliens who will have their rent paid for at least two years, News Center Maine reports: [...] Maine's taxpayers will be footing the bill as the millions in funding for the new migrant apartments and rental assistance were allocated in the state budget. The 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... 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: 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. Watch: 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 trailers. Footage shot at a gas station in Eagle Pass, Texas, shows a truck with an overhead 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. Musk Exposes "Immense & Growing Size" Of Illegal Immigration Invasion. Elon Musk red-pilled users on X, allowing them to visualize "the immense and growing size of illegal immigration" pushed by radical progressives in the White House that have flooded the nation with millions of migrants. Musk commented on a post by X user "~~datahazard~~," who said: "Since August, there are officially more arriving each month than there are children being born to American mothers. And these are just the official encounters — we don't know how many avoided detection." [Tweet] Illegal immigrants outpacing US births reminds us of a comment from Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who stated at a recent debate that the "Great Replacement Theory is not some grand, right-wing conspiracy theory," but rather a "basic statement of the Democratic Party's platform." [Tweet] Joe 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.

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... 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... Laredo 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 Laredo is used to having migrants released into the city, things are different now, because instead 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... 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... 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... 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:
Then why is New York still a "sanctuary city?" The Editor says... "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." 5 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! '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. 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: 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. 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... 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... 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... 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? 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. 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... 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... 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. 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! Absolutely not. But if he wants billions to fly them all to Argnetina or New Guinea, I'm all for it. 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. 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. 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... 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? 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... 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. Migrants 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 between 7 and 8 million illegal entries across the now nonexistent U.S. southern border. The more the border vanished, the more federal immigration law was rendered inert, and the more Homeland Security 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 had finally secured the border by early 2020. Yet almost all its successful initiatives were immediately overturned in 2021. The wall was abruptly stopped, its projected trajectory cancelled. The Obama-era disastrous "catch-and release" policy of immigration non-enforcement was resurrected. 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. Biden Border Crisis: Video Shows Largest Illegal Crossing in Texas, Illegal Immigrants Scaling the Wall in Arizona. Eagle Pass, TX, is a popular spot for people to cross the border. Melugin and other reporters often witness the crossings. A 10-year-old boy drowned last week as he attempted to cross into the town. On Monday, Melugin released a drone recording and another from a source in Mexico of the largest mass illegal immigrant crossing at the border. [Tweet with several video clips] 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. 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. Bidenomics 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... 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... 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. The Editor says... 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." 8 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. Video 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." 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. Really? How many have been invited to live in the Governor's house? 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... 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... 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." 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... 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! 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... 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... 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 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. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz to Retire Amid Immigration Turmoil. Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz told the agency charged with protecting the United States' borders on Tuesday he will be 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." Black 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. 24 Republican Governors Offer to Help Texas Defend Its Southern Border. Texas Governor Greg Abbott put the word out that Texas needs help handling the situation at their southern border. 24 Republican governors stepped up and answered the call. This is the job of the federal government, but Joe Biden is MIA so someone has to fill the void. 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... 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. Illegal Alien Tracking Map Shows Movement of the Masses of Illegals Across the US. In December 2022 Heritage Foundation released a study tracking the movement of illegal aliens from their NGO launching point to destinations across the United States. According to Heritage, of the 52 congressional districts with the highest density of devices, 71% were Republican congressional districts. Texas had the highest density of illegals followed by Oklahoma. The Editor says... 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. El Paso Processing Center Is Massively Overflowing With Young Men Only, No Women and Children. Border Patrol's Central Processing Center in El Paso is incredibly overcrowded. Max capacity is 1,000, but as of Friday, they were holding 6,000 migrants, almost all exclusively young men, no women and children. [Video clip] 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. Cities 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. Biden Heads to the Beach as Border Crisis Explodes, DHS Forces Officers to Work All Weekend. Joe Biden is headed to his Rehoboth Beach compound for the weekend as the border crisis explodes. Title 42 expired Friday at midnight and a migrant child has already died in US custody. The border crisis is out of control and Joe Biden doesn't have a care in the world. Record-breaking 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... 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... 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. 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 because some do not have the resources to move out of El Paso on their own while others [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... 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] Illegal aliens who are LGBTQ 'may not be detained'under Democrats' new bill. Dozens of 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. Texas AG Paxton: Biden Admin. Is In Partnership With Cartels. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has 46 lawsuits against the Biden Administration, many of which have to do with the State's efforts to address the immigration crisis. [Video clip] 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. The Editor says... Warning: every dollar you donate to the Red Cross is bringing America to her knees. Recently, The Daily Caller published a bombshell story involving The Red Cross that should've gotten a lot more attention than it did. That's why it was great to see respected filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza discussing the scandal on his podcast recently. So, it turns out that The Red Cross is actually helping illegals make their way into the United States. The Daily Caller piece claims The Red Cross is passing out "pamphlets" to migrants in Mexico, who are making their way over illegally. 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. Texas 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: 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 Daily Caller News Foundation reporter said Friday "millions" of people have poured over the U.S. border since President Joe Biden took office. "Under the Biden administration, we've seen 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. The Red Cross is giving immigrants detailed maps showing them where to cross the border into the United States. Now, nominally you could argue that the map isn't facilitating illegal immigration; rather, it just shows migrants the points where they can gain legal, above-the-board entry into the U.S. But, I mean, come on. What do we think this detailed, routed, resource-intensive map is actually for? Red Cross Packets Show Migrants Where To Cross The US Border. The American Red Cross has maps and guides for migrants to make the dangerous journeys to the U.S.-Mexico border, according to documents exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The map, which is part of 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. Biden calls for tax hikes to pay for more illegal alien 'processing'. How this for a stinker of a deal for American taxpayers? Joe Biden is proposing to hike taxes on Americans 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. The Editor says... 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." Each Migrant Costs NYC $10,000 a Month. Want to know why Mayor Eric Adams is panicking? The numbers are ugly. New York City has no shortage of social problems, but Biden's open borders crisis is really taking a bite out of the Big Apple. [...] American children suffer so Biden's open borders can boost Democrat numbers. That's what this is about. NYC spends nearly $370 daily on each asylum seeker household. New York City on average spends about $363 a day on each asylum seeker household receiving services in city shelters and emergency relief centers and is on track to spend a total of $1.4 billion by the end of the fiscal 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." The Editor says... The 76 congressmen who demand unlimited illegal immigration. Recently a large group of US Congressmen signed a letter to Joe Biden, demanding that he make it easier for illegal aliens to enter and stay in the USA. The signers are ten US Senators, sixty-six US Representatives, and one non-voting delegate from Washington DC. Below is a list of the seventy-six voting delegates who signed the letter. [...] 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 Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is funneling hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to border crossers and illegal aliens directly released into American communities after arriving at 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 & Piven Are Laughing All The Way To The Welfare Agency. If the Cloward-Piven Strategy is new to you, Fred Elbel's "Cloward-Piven strategy — fundamentally transforming America" does an outstanding job breaking it down into bite-size pieces. [...] Time marches on and the Cloward-Piven strategy, as Elbel puts it, "remains an active instrument of change in America. Ultimately, it is the tool by which multicultural elites aim to "fundamentally transform America." To fully appreciate the genius of the strategy, just look around at the 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? 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... 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... 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? There seems to be a little misunderstanding: 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... 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. 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? The Editor says... 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... 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... 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? 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... 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: Rebellion Against the People. 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. 18 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." Southern 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. Congressman Gonzales says he took the video on Friday when 4,600 migrants were in federal custody. Capacity is 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? 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... 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? 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... 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... 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. 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... 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... 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... 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. The Editor says... 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. 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:
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... 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? 7 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? Martha's Vineyard Immigrants Have Been "Politely" Kicked Off The Island By The Inclusive-And-Tolerant Rich White Liberals. The good-hearted liberals of Martha's Vineyard have experienced a tiny fraction of what's been going on at the border for years and they've already had enough. Migrants who landed on the island about 48 hours ago, are reportedly being moved to Joint Base Cape Cod, a military base on the mainland. 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. [Video clip] 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... 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. Top 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... 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... 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 Vineyard was the new Auschwitz? Uh-oh, I guess DeSantis is Hitler now. 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. Secure, indeed. [Tweet] 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. Ron DeSantis has Martha's Vineyard elites feeling blue. [Scroll down] Still, it would take a heart of stone not to laugh at the consternation that is gripping the elites as they are suddenly forced to ... Celebrate Diversity. Martha's Vineyard — so many trust-funders, legacies and members of assorted Protected Classes, all abruptly forced to confront the spectacle of what Deplorables must endure day after dystopian day. How's that Great Reset working out for you now, David Letterman? Chris Wallace? Spike Lee? Larry David? Amy Schumer? Meg Ryan? Caroline Kennedy? Officials 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 [is] in chaos after DeSantis ships migrants to liberal enclave. The posh liberal enclave of 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 and long term support and assistance." Martha's Vineyard Homeless Shelter Coordinator Melts Down Over Illegals Flown to Island. The melt down over the 50 illegals flown to Martha's Vineyard is fun to watch. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) on Wednesday sent two planes of illegal aliens to Martha's Vineyard. The racist white limousine liberals on Martha's Vineyard are not 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. Two buses with migrants arrive outside Vice President Kamala Harris' Naval Observatory residence in DC. Two migrant buses from Del Rio, Texas, arrived near Vice President Kamala Harris' residence at the Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C., Thursday morning. Between 75 and 100 people who were picked up in Eagle Pass, Texas, were sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. The group includes migrants from Venezuela, Uruguay, Colombia and Mexico. 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. Ron Johnson: Obama Said Border Had a 'Crisis' When Numbers Were Less than 1/3 of What They Are Now. On Monday [...] 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... 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. 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... 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: The Editor says... 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: 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... 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... 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... As long as the problem was in Texas, she didn't care. But now... 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... 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? 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. Cruz: 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. Ted 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. Biden's 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. Illegals 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. 10K 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. Sanctuary 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. 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... 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... 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. The Editor says... 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... 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... 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... 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. Drew Hernandez shows illegal immigrants being released into the US by NGOs. Video taken near the southern border has revealed illegal immigrants being process and bussed from Eagle Pass, Texas to various places across the United States. The video, taken by journalist and Frontlines host Drew Hernandez, was filmed outside of the Border Patrol station in 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. Justice Department announces it will appeal after federal judge blocks Biden from lifting Title 42. The Biden says it disagrees with the ruling by a Louisiana federal judge which blocked them from ending Title 42 — as the Justice Department announces it will appeal. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that the authority to make decisions on public health policy nationally 'should rest with the Centers for Disease Control, not with a single district court. Judge Robert Summerhays, a Trump appointee in the Western District of Louisiana, had granted a preliminary injunction on the 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. Federal judge Blocks Biden from lifting Title 42 at the border. The Biden says it disagrees with the ruling by a Louisiana federal judge which blocked them from ending Title 42 — as the Justice Department announces it will appeal.

Federal Judge Blocks Biden From Ending Trump-Era Border Policy. A federal judge ruled Friday that the Biden administration's move to end Title 42, the pandemic health policy used to quickly expel illegal migrants, must be paused, siding with Republican attorneys general who sued the administration. "The Court agrees with the Plaintiff States that a nation-wide injunction is necessary for complete relief given the ability of immigrants crossing the border to move freely from one state to another," Judge Robert Summerhays said in his decision. Conservative justice sides with liberal judges in 5-4 SCOTUS ruling on illegal immigrant deportation. In the case of an illegal immigrant seeking to avoid deportation, a ruling of 5-4 against found the United State Supreme Court in disagreement as to their specific role within the constitutional framework and Justice Neil Gorsuch sided with his liberal peers. Pankajkumar Patel had entered the country illegally in the 90s with his wife Jyotsnaben and had endeavored to adjust his 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... 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. 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. Texas Bar Foundation under investigation for allegedly encouraging, financing illegal immigration. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced an investigation Friday [5/6/2022] into the Texas Bar Foundation, saying he's heard complaints the lawyers' group is funneling taxpayers' money to organizations that ehat grant them citizenship to New Zealand, Portugal and other 'safe' countries over fears of impending civil war in their home country.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced an investigation Friday [5/6/2022] into the Texas Bar Foundation, saying he's heard complaints 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." 50 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. 6 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. Mayorkas reveals insane plan to divert VA resources from health care for veterans to serve illegals at the border. In addition to being an immoral betrayal of our pledge to care for those who served us in uniform and politically insane, this diversion if resources would be unnecessary if Biden fulfilled his oath of office and enforced the law. 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
for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) revealed that America saw illegal immigration increase "by approximately a million"
during President Joe Biden's first year. The increase costs taxpayers "an additional $9.4 billion."
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. Federal Judge Issues Temporary Injunction Keeping Title 42 Immigration Rule in Place Pending Further Court Action. U.S. District Judge Robert Summerhays has agreed to issue a temporary restraining order blocking the administration's planned May 23 lifting of the CDC immigration rule known as Title 42. [...] NBC is reporting that more than 170,000 illegal aliens, most not from Mexico, are waiting on the other side of the U.S. border for Title 42 to be lifted. [Video clip] SCOTUS 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... 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. 26 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. 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. 20 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.
The Editor says... 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... 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... 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... 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." Texas 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 bus them all over our country." Illegal 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. The Editor says... 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. [...]" [Video clip] 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: 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] Tag 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. The Editor says... 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... 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. 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! 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... We haven't LOST control, we have FORFEITED control. 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... 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. 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... 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... 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... 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... 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: 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 number of illegal immigrants the Biden administration has actually let through the U.S. borders. Melugin tweeted a copy of the document with the caption "NEW/THREAD: According to Border Patrol documents provided by a source, the federal gov has released over 70,000 illegal immigrants into the U.S. since August 6, including 31,977 released via parole (temp legal status, eligible for work permits). 94,570 released via NTR since 3/20." 26 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? The Editor says... 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... 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... 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... 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."
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. Joe Biden Jetting Planeloads of Cabinet, Aides to Europe to Combat Climate Change. Joe Biden will demonstrate his determination to fight climate change by flying more than a dozen Cabinet members across the Atlantic next week — in several passenger jets consuming tons of fossil fuels at high altitudes. Plus, of course, Biden's own customized 747 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. 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." Biden's Deputies Resign Over Chaotic Immigration Policy: 'Complete Lack Of Direction'. A handful of open-border zealots and advocates of immigration enforcement as a deterrent have quit President Joe Biden's agencies amid infighting between the two camps over the president's chaotic and unpopular migration policies. The political turmoil born out of the Haitian migrant caravan that gathered at a makeshift camp in Del Rio, Texas, laid bare the months-long internal rift between political appointees with vastly different views on immigration. Biden 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... 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... 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: 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? 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. Biden 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." Note: All material below was once located on an overflow page, but has now been rejoined with the main page. Anatomy of a Hoax. The Haitian migrant crisis is another catastrophe in a series of disasters that plagues the beleaguered Harris-Biden administration. There were harrowing images and videos of Haitian migrants wading across the top of a dam over the Rio Grande River to get to Texas. There was also footage of over fifteen thousand migrants crowding in what appeared to be a makeshift migrant camp under the International Bridge in Del Rio, Texas. Whenever a crisis arises, the first instinct of the Democrats is not to resolve the problem. They instead focus on punishing the messenger, blocking the story, and spinning the narrative to distract. They know they can rely on their myriad lackeys in the mainstream media to spin any story to their advantage. A day after the videos were made public, The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) brought in a two-week flight restriction over Del Rio, Texas. This enabled them to block the Fox News drone from taking videos of immigrants under the bridge after mass border crossing by thousands of Haitians. Embarrassed by the resulting controversy, the outrageous order later was rescinded. But that was just not enough, they desperately needed another angle to distract from this obvious catastrophe. New report reveals devastating details of Biden-Harris border disaster. When describing the Biden-Harris administration's policy of allowing millions of illegal border crossers to stay in the United States, it's absolutely critical to use the word "unvetted." What government official would let so many people who entered the country illegally remain in the U.S. without even knowing who they are? That would be crazy. And yet that is exactly what the Biden-Harris administration has done for nearly four years. And by the way, administration officials don't want you to know how often they have done it. [Paywall — no thanks.] New: Biden Homeland Security Quietly Ends Path to Amnesty for Over 500K Illegals It Flew Into US. If it's Friday, then it stands to reason that there's going to be a Friday news dump. And the Biden administration didn't disappoint with its quiet announcement in the work week's waning hours, stating that it will end plans to provide a path to citizenship for the over 500,000 illegal aliens from four nations that it flew into the United States. Readers might remember the temporary pause in the program in August, after major fraudulent activities were exposed in the program's management, in part thanks to Elon Musk's bringing attention to the Daily Mail's story back in the spring. Governor Abbott to Border Patrol officers: If you are fired, I'll hire you. [Governor] Abbott was a guest on Fox News Sunday [9/26/2021] and host Chris Wallace asked his thoughts on Biden's witchhunt against the horse patrol. Even the photographer who took the pictures that originally went viral on social media and sparked the Democrats' disinformation campaign against Border Patrol in Del Rio clarified that he saw no one whipping or "strapping" migrants as they came to the shore of the Rio Grande River. "Strapping" is the word used by Biden on Friday to justify an investigation. Abbott's face turned visibly angry and he said that if any officers are fired, he will hire the horse patrol officers. He rightly accused both Mayorkas and Biden of failing to "secure the sovereignty of the United States." Biden White House's lies [are] a matter of life and death. Lie 1: The southern border is closed. No, it's wide open, by design, and yet Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Vice President Kamala Harris keep telling us, "The border is closed." We can see with our own eyes, mainly thanks to Fox News, that illegal immigrants from all over the world are flooding in from Mexico, under the watchful gaze of Border Patrol agents who have been ordered to stand down. [...] Lie 2: Border Patrol agents on horseback "whipped" Haitian migrants. After trying to stop Fox News' drone from filming the makeshift refugee camp under the Del Rio bridge, the Biden administration realized it had an optics problem. So Border Patrol was given permission to stop the flood of migrants who were crossing the Rio Grande. They used horses as crowd control on the rocky riverbank. If they had not done so, it is unlikely Mayorkas would have been able to clear the migrant camp by Friday, as Biden had instructed. Twitter activists seized on an image of the operation to falsely accuse the agents of strapping the migrants with horse whips. What they said were whips were reins. The administration's rush to judgment was shameful. The agents were taken off active duty pending an investigation and horse patrols were suspended, thus removing one of the last remaining tools to secure the border. Abandoned IDs found at US border show Haitian migrants held Chilean refugee status: report. Amid the Biden administration's ongoing border crisis, it appears a number of Haitian migrants held Chilean refugee status, according to abandoned ID cards found at the United States-Mexico border near where more than 15,000 migrants camped under the Del Rio bridge in Texas. As reported previously by The Post Millennial, the mass congregation of Haitian migrants previously lived and worked in Latin American countries as refugees, mainly Chile and Brazil. The migrants generally had access to housing and gainful employment, but decided to move to the United States for opportunity there. According to immigration experts, the Haitian migrants believed President Joe Biden "opened the border so we decided we could upgrade our lifestyle." Border Chaos Reflects Migrants' Home Countries. The United States and Mexico share the largest border between a first and third world country on earth, and Mexico has long been a source of significant illegal immigration. Poverty, high crime, and social problems on the Mexican side lead naturally to movement north, absent strong efforts to prevent it. Think of it as demographic osmosis. Someone not paying attention might assume, therefore, that the large camps of immigrants appearing suddenly on the U.S.-Mexican border are made up of Mexicans. But the presence of so many different nationalities — Salvadorans, Guatemalans, Middle Easterners, Africans, and now Haitians — is a product of the interplay of refugee law and Mexico's function as a transit point. Once the migrants make it into the United States, they can claim asylum. Mexico now permits them to transit, though they used to take a harder line, worried about the economic competition with their own people already living in the United States, as well as the impact of such migrants on Mexico itself. Top Republican: Biden releasing Haitian migrants with 'virtually no chance' they'll report to ICE. New York Republican Rep. John Katko, ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, told Just the News that he's "looking into" whether the Biden Administration's decision to release thousands of migrants without court dates is a violation of law. The released migrants were reportedly asked to report to Immigration and Customs Enforcement but only a small percentage followed through. The administration recently allowed the release of an unknown number of Haitian migrants without court dates. "What the current immigration policy is, is they don't get a court date before they get released," Katko said Friday on Capitol Hill. "That's what this administration has decided to do. What they've basically said is, they get a piece of paper saying in six months or whatever, call this number, and we'll tell you when your court date is. And so obviously, 90 to 99% of them will not do that, and that's a huge problem." Katko was asked if the Biden administration's actions are in violation of the law or an administrative issue. "I think it's more of an administrative prerogative, technically, but it's a good question, whether it's a violation of law, we're looking into it, but it's not clear," he replied. The Editor says... DHS warning: influx of Haitians coming by sea and 20,000 by land. The Department of Homeland Security is warning of a possible influx of Haitian migrants headed to the United States by boat. This is according to an intelligence alert obtained by Yahoo News. The alert, which was unclassified and marked "for official use only," was issued on Thursday by U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Office of Intelligence. It states that Border Patrol apprehensions of Haitian migrants in Miami and Puerto Rico have been on the rise since May, "with September likely to be the highest month in fiscal year (FY) 2021." Mayorkas Finally admits 12,000 illegal Haitians out of 17,000 have been released into the US, and number could go 'even higher'. Alejandro Mayorkas finally admitted on Sunday that 12,000 Haitian migrants have been released into the U.S., claiming that number could go up as 5,000 other cases are still being processed and confusingly says not stopping illegal immigration is a 'proud tradition.' 'Approximately, I think it's about 10,000 or so — 12,000 thousand,' Mayorkas told Fox News Sunday when asked how many have already been released into the country. 'It could be even higher,' he added. 'The number that are returned could be even higher. What we do is we follow the law as Congress has passed it.' DHS Secretary: As Many as 12,000 Illegal Haitian Immigrants [have been] 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. Texas governor to Border Patrol agents under investigation: 'I will hire you'. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday [9/26/2021] defended U.S. Border Patrol agents seen charging at migrants on horseback, saying he would hire them if they fear being fired. "You have a job in the state of Texas," he told host Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday." "I will hire you to help Texas secure our border." Images surfaced last week showing Border Patrol agents moving on horseback with reins against Haitian migrants seeking to enter the United States in Del Rio, Texas, though the photographer later said some of the pictures could be "misconstrued" as showing the agents behaving badly when they weren't. Tulsi Gabbard Says Biden 'Needs To Apologize' For Throwing Border Agents Under The Bus. Former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard said Saturday that President Joe Biden "needs to apologize to the American people" for falsely accusing border patrol agents of "strapping" illegal immigrants from Haiti. "I consider Joe Biden a friend. But he's absolutely wrong and he needs to apologize to the American people for saying what he said," Gabbard told Fox News' "Watters' World." "And here's why. He's somebody who's been very outspoken about being against autocrats and dictators. But what he essentially did was act as judge, jury and executioner for these customs and border patrol agents on horseback," the former Democratic presidential candidate continued. Why Your Otherwise Smart Friends Think Stupid Things. Joe Biden has never before demonstrated the slightest concern about Haitians until thousands crossed the southern border and were camped out under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas. As late as 1994 he said, "If Haiti just quietly sinks into the Caribbean or rose up 300 feet, it shouldn't matter a whole lot in terms of our interest." But the picture of the migrant camp certainly riled the open borders fanciers with horrible pictures of destitute illegal migrants camping by the thousands under the bridge. The FAA even momentarily banned Fox News from overhead drone coverage of the scene. One photographer on the ground, Paul Ratje, captured pictures of horse-riding border patrol members preventing the people from scattering off into the country where they would avoid even minimal processing. City folks who populate newsrooms and left-wing social media may never have seen the split reins the border patrols riders use to control the horses, but seeing them, they rushed to publication Ratje's shots, claiming the riders were whipping the migrants. Not so, said the photographer, but the fake account spread far and was bought hook, line, and sinker by the administration. Border Patrol Council head says Biden would be arrested for 'aiding and abetting' illegal immigrants if he wasn't president. The President of the National Border Patrol Council, Brandon Judd, told Fox News on Thursday [9/23/2021] that he would arrest Joe Biden for "aiding and abetting" if he wasn't president. Judd told Fox News host Sean Hannity that he's been patrolling the borders since Bill Clinton was president, and of all the border policies he's worked under, President Donald Trump's "were by far the best," but President Joe Biden "completely and totally dismantled all of those policies." "And when you look at our Border Patrol agents, when they are sent down there to that job, and by the way, Mayorkas was down on the border, and he saw the horses, he knew the horses were out there, and now he's making, doing a 180," Judd added. [Video clip] "But when our agents are out there trying to patrol the border, do their job to the best of their ability, then they're vilified by the president," he continued. Officials say as many as 30,000 migrants flooded Del Rio, all have been cleared from camp. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Friday that all migrants camped out under the Del Rio International Bridge in southern Texas have been cleared. "As of this morning, there are no longer any migrants in the camp underneath the Del Rio International Bridge," the secretary told reporters. Mayorkas said that up to 30,000 people were encountered in Del Rio since Sept. 9 and that as many as 15,000 were concentrated there at one time. Joe Biden Declares War on [the] Border Patrol. Despite the fact that the photos of migrants allegedly being whipped by Border Patrol agents have been debunked by the man who took them, some news outlets are clinging to the story that agents were riding migrants down like Cossacks. Of note, the photographer's statement is oddly missing from the CNN website. Although they did include the president's remarks about the story-that-wasn't-there. Huh. Who'd a thunk it? After all, why tell the truth when there are fires and egos that need to be stoked by a generous helping of gasoline? By now, you likely know that on Friday, Joe Biden commented: "To see people treated like they did, horses barely running over, people being strapped — it's outrageous... I promise you, those people will pay. There will be an investigation underway now and there will be consequences. There will be consequences." And yes, Biden is merely regurgitating what he was fed. And knowing that makes his statement all the more odious. This is full-blown left-wing emotional manipulation on display. This is the outrage machine under full steam. This is lying. They know it and they don't care. Thousands of Haiti migrants flee Del Rio, try to reach border again: report. Thousands of Haitian migrants who fled the makeshift encampment at Del Rio, Texas, rather than be deported to their country of origin this week have reportedly opted to lie low in Mexico as they gear up for another attempt to cross into the US. The Daily Mail reported Friday [9/24/2021] that some migrants who left the camp under the Del Rio International bridge had been seen buying bus tickets in the bordering city of Ciudad Acuña, Mexico, that would take them to major transport hubs like Mexico City and Monterrey. Some bought tickets for Nogales, a Mexico border city which adjoins a city of the same name in Arizona. "They just fled back over that river [Rio Grande] and ran. Hundreds and hundreds of them that I saw. I personally saw," Todd Bensman, the senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies told the outlet. "They told me they were fleeing because of the deportation flights." Look past the hand-waving, and you'll see a wide open Mexican border. Soon after Bill Melugin of Fox News began beaming drone footage of the many thousands of Haitians gathered under the bridge in Del Rio, Texas, Biden's open borders zealot in charge of DHS, Alejandro Mayorkas, ordered two nearby border checkpoints abandoned. The reason given was to redirect those personnel to help process the Haitians. The media reported that those checkpoints had been "closed," leading the viewer to believe that traffic had been rerouted. But that was not the case. The fifty thousand vehicles those checkpoints inspect during an average week continued to move through, only now no one was checking them for drugs or trafficked humans. This happened while Mayorkas was giving a news conference under the Del Rio bridge, insisting that the U.S. border was definitely "not open." In fact, the border in the Del Rio sector was wide open. Border Patrol stunned as Biden goes to war with his own agents over false 'whipping' allegations. President Biden on Friday [9/24/2021] left Border Patrol agents stunned after repeating debunked claims that Del Rio agents whipped or "strapped" Haitian migrants, while promising to make those agents "pay." Biden weighed in on the controversy over images that emerged Sunday of agents on horseback blocking Haitian migrants from entering the U.S. Claims that agents, who were using long reins to control their horses, were using "whips" were quickly debunked by officials and other agents — but activists and elected Democrats have continued to fuel it. The photographer who took the images said Friday he did not see any agents whipping migrants. Haitian migrants hijack buses, further embarrassing Biden administration. Multiple reports say that Haitian migrants, ostensibly in federal custody, have "hijacked" several buses while being transported and forced out their drivers. The incidents, they say, have occurred while migrants have been taken from the camp beneath the Del Rio — Ciudad Acuna International Bridge to processing centers across the region, as well as from the processing centers to local airports for deportation flights, and could cause the U.S. government's immigration enforcement operations to be halted. A senior federal law enforcement official recently told the Washington Examiner: "They've been basically overpowering the drivers and they've actually hijacked a couple of the buses and driven them down the road a little ways and escaped. This happened multiple times." Leftists force mass Third World immigration by deceiving us into feeling guilty. Milton Friedman, the economist, was such a libertarian that he supported open borders. However, there was a caveat to this support: "It's just obvious you can't have free immigration and a welfare state." It's obvious, of course, because having both spells imminent national bankruptcy. But that's exactly what leftists are selling to America and they're using false historic narratives to create in native-born Americans a sense of guilt so profound that they're willingly opening the borders to those who will irrevocably drain the nation's wealth. Why 15,000 Migrants Ended Up in One Spot on the U.S.-Mexico Border. When some 15,000 people crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico in the past week or so, it brought a spotlight on this Texas border town of 35,000, which has not been a historically popular crossing point (though it has seen more than 200,000 migrant encounters in the last year). It also raised the question of why and how so many migrants, particularly Haitians, arrived at the same time and the same place along the border. Civilization requires deterrence. [Scroll down] With a border wall, an end to catch and release, and tough jawboning of the Mexican and Central American governments, a new American deterrent stance in 2019-20 discouraged once unstoppable waves of illegal immigrants. Northern bound migrants knew that even if they reached and crossed the border, there was a good chance all such effort would be for naught, given quick apprehension and deportation. So, in their rational calculations, illegal aliens waited at home for less deterrent times. And they found them when Joe Biden stopped construction on the wall, renewed catch and release, and eased pressures on Mexico to interrupt caravans headed northward. [The] White House [has] ordered border authorities to clear out [the Del Rio] bridge by Friday evening ahead of BLM protest: Sources. The Biden administration has set a deadline of Friday night to clear out the Haitian migrant camp that has caused major headaches for the White House, sources told the Washington Examiner. Two senior officials within the Department of Homeland Security said the camp, underneath the Del Rio-Acuna International Bridge, is creating bad "optics" and drawing renewed scrutiny to the administration's inability to curb illegal immigration. At one point, more than 15,000 people were in the camp, though the number had dwindled to less than a third of that by Thursday [9/23/2021]. The Bidenization of America. The southern border, which the homeland security secretary assures us is "closed" but privately says is "unsustainable" and where the president said the problems were "seasonal" and would abate during the summer, is now almost completely open to unprecedented masses of illegal migrants from all over the world, with no regard to their suitability to reside in the United States and no ability even to test them for COVID. It is an open artery only slightly plausibly explained by the Democrats' desire to admit so many foreigners while they shed the requirement of citizenship to vote, that they become electorally immovable, and this horrifying sequence of institutionalized policy failures becomes permanent. National Sabotage by Immigration. Beneath the surface of Biden's genial Uncle Joe schtick is an executive branch controlled by some of the most dogmatic left-wing apparatchiks ever seen in American politics. Among their witch's brew of radical ideas, they have seized upon immigration as one of the quickest and most effective ways to transform the country to their vision. It is becoming increasingly difficult to give this administration the benefit of the doubt on anything. That became nearly impossible after independent journalist John Solomon broke the news of a letter from recently departed Border Patrol chief Rodney Scott to Democratic and Republican leaders of the Senate and its homeland security and governmental affairs committee. In his letter, Scott described a culture in the current administration where inexperienced political appointees routinely ignore or reject common-sense recommendations from career immigration enforcement professionals. European Travelers Were Banned For 18 Months While A Permanent Illegal Alien Population Was Encouraged To Come And Stay? [Scroll down] To recap: Joe Biden has encouraged and allowed millions of illegal aliens to seek permanent residency in the United States. They have not been vetted for infectious disease, an ability to contribute to our country through gainful employment or shared values, nor for previous connections to ideologies that hate this country. In the midst of a supposedly terrifying pandemic and vaccine mandates for citizens, they have also not been subject to the same rigorous expectations. It is the height of hypocrisy. At the same time, though, despite a vaccine rollout going as far back as the Trump presidency, European travelers (not even permanent, asylum- and resident-seeking aliens; just travelers!) have been all denied entry. Compounding this confusion, I had friends and family vacation in Europe this summer. They spent weeks hopping from country to country before flying home. At that point, how is there exposure any different than a holder of an EU passport? White House Does Not Know if Joe Biden Has Ever Visited Southern Border. The White House admitted Wednesday [9/22/2021] they did not know if President Joe Biden had ever visited the Southern border to demonstrate his commitment to border security. "I will have to look back in my history books and check the times he's been to the Southern border," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in response to a question from Fox News reporter Peter Doocy during the daily White House briefing. It remains unclear whether Biden has ever been to the Southern border, as he spent most of his political career as a U.S. senator representing Delaware. The Editor says... Psaki Announces Del Rio Border Patrol Will No Longer Use Horses in Response to False 'Whip' Narrative. White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced Thursday that Border Patrol agents will no longer be permitted to use horses to guard the border in Del Rio, Texas, after "horrific" photos emerged of agents swinging long reins while interacting with Haitian migrants. The announcement comes after the media caused a frenzy by falsely portraying the videos and photos as showing agents hitting the migrants with whips. It was later revealed that the agents were in fact wielding the long reins that make it easier to maintain control of their horses, according to Border Control chief Raul Ortiz. Have 5,000 Haitians been released into US? Official figures show that 9,700 are being processed — but that does not include immigrants simply let go from Texas border camp. The White House is still refusing to reveal how many Haitian migrants have come to the US despite promising to do so yesterday. Jen Psaki on Wednesday [9/22/2012] promised to release the figures after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) failed to. However partial information released Thursday accounts for only 10,000 of the 15,000 that the DHS said earlier in the week had come to the southern border. Thousands of Haitian migrants who flocked to Del Rio were already working and living comfortably as refugees in Chile. The thousands of Haitians who have turned up in Del Rio, Texas didn't migrate from Haiti at all but from Chile, where they had been granted asylum and were working and living comfortably as refugees. The dozens of Chilean identity cards that litter the ground in Ciudad Acuna, just across the Rio Grande from Del Rio, all bear distinctly non-Hispanic names. There is Prosper Pierre for instance, or Linode Lafleur or Eddyson Jean-Charles. None of the cards carries a name such as Gonzalez or Muñoz or Rojas. Americans know who's to blame for the border crisis. A majority of Americans blame President Biden for the border crisis, a new poll shows, as the administration is caught lying about the makeshift refugee camp under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas. About two-thirds of the 15,000 Haitians living in unsanitary conditions under the bridge have been moved out since Saturday, as local authorities try to regain control. Just over 5,000 migrants remained yesterday afternoon [9/21/2021]. But the tough talk from the administration that they would be deported back to Haiti under a special Trump-era pandemic health order has turned out to be hot air. Most of the migrants have been secretly released into the community, according to whistleblowers and reporters on the ground, and the administration is determined to hide the truth. Biden's Border Botch Is No Accident. The massive influx of illegal immigrants on our nation's southern border almost defies description. The Biden administration has actively sought this disaster in a bid to undermine the integrity of both our border and our nation's rule of law. President Joe Biden is responsible for this human crisis, and should answer for it. We're already seeing 200,000 or so people each month reach our borders. But things have changed dramatically. After the July 22 assassination of Haiti's president, some 15,000 Haitians showed up, many in Del Rio, Texas, swelling the ranks of the thousands of Central Americans and Mexican citizens already at the border waiting to come across. Another 20,000 or so Haitians might soon be on their way from South America, according to NBC News. Meanwhile, thousands more have already been released into the U.S., with little screening, while just a relative handful have been sent back to their country, according to news reports. White House Will Not Say How Many Illegal Haitian Migrants Have Been Deported and How Many Released into U.S.. No one from the Biden administration has been willing to give any explanation about the status of the more than 16,000 Haitian migrants who illegally crossed into the U.S. at the Del Rio, Texas, border sector. For two days, Dept of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has refused to say how many have been deported and/or how many have been released. Today the White House was again asked about the simple issue of answering those questions. The White House continues to obfuscate and dodge the question. Given the nature of the ideology within the Biden administration; specifically, how the Obama team are the real open border players making the decisions; it is almost a guarantee the majority of the 16,000+ Haitian illegal aliens have been transferred and dispersed deeper into the U.S. mainland. Cruz: South Texas Democrats Threatening to Leave Party over 'Open Borders'. Wednesday [9/22/2021], during an appearance on FNC's "The Ingraham Angle," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said Democrats in South Texas, which he explained was a long-time Democratic Party stronghold, were weighing leaving the party over the Biden administration's handling of the U.S.-Mexico border. Cruz also said that as long as the Biden administration refused to apply the law, the problem would worsen. [...] "Most of the local elected officials in South Texas are Democrats, and that's long been a Democratic area of the state," Cruz continued. "I got to tell you, every elected Democrat I met with was so horrified by what's happening at the border. They said to me over and over again, they said, Listen, if the Democratic Party is the party of open borders, count me out. I can't support this." Why are there thousands of Haitian migrants at the Texas border? Illegal border crossings by people all over the world are at a 20-year high, and Haitians are making up a growing part of that. Haiti is a country with extreme political, economic and humanitarian problems, including most recently an assassinated president and a deadly earthquake. Immigration experts have seen an increase in Haitian migrants over the past few months. Many of the Haitians at the border now — most estimates say there are more than 10,000 — were actually migrants from a different earthquake, the horrific one in 2010. They settled in South America, but for a host of reasons, many have tried to come to the United States. It can be economic. "A worker coming from Chile to the U.S. can expect a 3.5-times higher income coming here," said Alex Nowrasteh, an immigration policy analyst at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. A worsening pandemic in countries such as Brazil is also possibly playing a role in Haitians deciding to move north. Biden administration releases Haitian migrant families at [a] Del Rio gas station. Haitian migrant families who illegally crossed the southern border and lived in a makeshift camp beneath an international bridge are being released into the United States, contradicting the Biden administration's claims that they would be removed from the country. Border Patrol released just over a dozen Haitian migrants at a gas station Wednesday evening [9/22/2021]. Large government-contracted buses drop off families twice a day at a gas station on a busy commercial road in the middle of town. Biden flies Haitians to Florida in the middle of the night. Two officials speaking with the AP said that the Haitian migrants camped in the Texas border town of Del Rio have been released into the U.S., undercutting expulsion vows. By the way, it's not expulsion. It's deportation because they came in illegally. Some, not many, were sent back and they were violent. DHS confirms to Fox News that Haitian migrants on a deportation flight back to Haiti caused "two separate disruptions" on the tarmac in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Three ICE officers were "injured and sustained non-life-threatening injuries." Haitian crowd control police responded. Biden's cabal is sending future Democrats to Florida. They were released and found in the airport waiting for paid flights to Florida. Biden's cabal is turning Florida deep blue with new Democrats and their anchor babies. Over 300 Haitian women are pregnant or giving birth under the bridge in Del Rio. Would they be better off in Haiti? Sen. Hawley presses Mayorkas on border crisis. Sen. Josh Hawley grilled Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on the Biden administration's efforts to stem the flow of illegal immigrants and whether it accepts responsibility for the humanitarian crisis created by the 15,000 Haitian migrants who massed near a border town in Texas. Hawley (R-Mo.) pointed out that for the second straight month, in July and August, US Customs and Border Protection officials encountered more than 200,000 illegal immigrants, and he asked Mayorkas if the administration's plan to curb the surge was working. "We are implementing the plan, Sen. Hawley, and I can walk through the measures we've taken," Mayorkas responded during a hearing before the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday [9/21/2021]. Unbelievable pictures capture third world conditions in migrant camp under Del Rio bridge. Horrific photos have emerged of the squalid and fetid migrant camp in Del Rio, Texas that is currently home to thousands of Haitian migrants who've flocked to the US in the latest border crisis to hit Joe Biden. Desperate migrants, many of them families with young children, are being forced to sleep on the dirty ground or — if they're fortunate — cardboard boxes folded out flat. Many of the 8,600 who remain there have resorted to fashioning makeshift tents using discarded clothing and tree branches in order to provide at least some shelter from the elements. The "disappearing Haitians" mystery is solved. You've been lied to. Yesterday, when writing about the conflicting stories coming out of the Del Rio Haitian encampment, I concluded my analysis with an assumption. "There's more to this story than we're being told." A number of things being reported about how the Biden administration has been dealing with more than 14,000 Haitians, particularly the aggressive tactics being employed and the rapid deportation schedule, simply didn't add up. Part of that just comes down to the math. We were told that flights leaving for Haiti were only carrying a bit more than 100 deportees each. Basic math suggests that it would take several weeks to send them all home at that pace. And yet by yesterday, the number of Haitians was reportedly down to roughly 7,000. Sure, some of them may have gone back over the border to Mexico (where they would face deportation anyway), but not half of the entire camp, right? Well, the Associated Press seems to have cracked the case. There are lots of Haitian migrants who are no longer camping out under the overpass near Del Rio. But they weren't all put on planes and sent home as Alejandro Mayorkas promised on Monday. Thousands of them were simply bussed to other areas along the border and released. They Intend to Destroy America. Since the installed regime's illogical, reflexive, and disastrous (some say illegal) repeal of every measure the Trump administration enacted to secure the border, the situation has continually degraded before our eyes (at least when the news media honestly reports what is happening). The evidence of the humanitarian crisis is overwhelming: the number of illegal aliens found dead on South Texas brush country ranches has increased; fatalities on the border states' roads and highways have also risen from illicit human traffickers' attempts to evade border protection or law enforcement officers and the human toll exacted on those who cross the border, endure the elements, and face over-crowded processing facilities is impossible to calculate. None of it is compassionate, and none of it is for the illegal aliens' welfare because unknown numbers have become indentured servants to the criminal enterprises that brought them to the United States. They will likely never know freedom. The Democrat party, its apparatus, and the installed administration all want to change America's demographics to have more "voters" who are dependent on government largesse and will vote Democrat, cementing its permanent political power. It is a sickening subjugation of the rightful, legal citizens of the United States. Resist. Why are Haitians sent home but Mexicans and Central Americans get to stay? Joe Biden's border policy would be comical if it weren't so destructive and tragic. He in effect tells would-be immigrants, "Please don't come but, if you do, we'll let you in and let you stay." Predictably, they do come, they do get let in, and they do stay. Put another way, they come, they see and they conquer — all at the implicit invitation of the president. How long before they get dinner at the White House? Millions come. Border towns are overrun. Sanitation is bad. Conditions are horrendous, filthy and unprecedented. Twenty-six state governors begged Biden to take time out from (another) vacation to discuss the matter. On behalf of the American people they represent, the governors asked that our immigration laws be enforced — that these illegal immigrants be prevented from committing their illegal act of entering and staying in the United States, not to mention whatever additional illegal acts they may commit once they're here. Biden ignored the governors. Texas finishes the wall! 'Steel barrier' of hundreds of state trooper SUVs line the border in 'unprecedented' move to stem the tide of Haitian migrants. Texas Governor Greg Abbot has been forced to use 'unprecedented' methods to prevent more Haitian migrants from entering U.S. by creating a 'steel barrier' of hundreds of vehicles at the border. Abbott visited the U.S.-Mexican border on Tuesday and praised DPS and Texas National Guard for creating the barrier by using hundreds of state-owned vehicles, almost all of which appear to be bulky SUVs. The vehicles are lined up outside Del Rio in Texas, which has seen an influx of 14,600 migrants who crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico into the US. An estimated 8,600 remained in the town of 35,000 people as of Tuesday night, with 1,083 so far deported back to Haiti. NBC: Another 20,000+ Haitians May Migrate to Texas. More than 20,000 Haitians now living in South America may try to copy the Texas migration success of their fellow nationals, according to NBC News. [...] Multiple media reports say President Joe Biden's deputies are allowing thousands of the Haitian migrants at the Del Rio landing site to move into the United States — if they bring children with them. Adults without children are reportedly being sent home to Haiti, even if they were living in South America before they reached the U.S. border. Kamala Harris Wants Biden Administration Investigated for Failed Border Policies She is in Charge of. It might sound like a weird headline, but the currently installed occupant of the White House specifically put Kamala Harris in charge of the southern border issues. After several months of doing nothing, likely coordinating with the Obama crew that operates almost exclusively in her background, Kamala Harris pokes her head out of her bunker today and demands an investigation into issues at the border she personally is supposed to be in charge of. Not surprisingly, the ideological media who travel with her don't even recognize the stupidity of what the appointed border czar Harris just said. Sen. Ron Johnson Grills Secretary Mayorkas About 'Closed' Borders Claim. Johnson: Now, let me ask you a couple questions here. This committee received — it was dated Sept. 11, but apparently this letter was not received until Thursday. I didn't find out about it until yesterday. I released it to the public immediately — by recently retired U.S. Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott. In this letter, former Chief Scott states he is sickened by the avoidable and rapid disintegration of what was arguably the most effective border security in our nation's history. And of course, the chart shows it. We'd pretty well secured the border. We'd stopped the flow of unaccompanied children. We'd stopped the flow of family units because of the Migrant Protection Protocols, the agreements that President [Donald] Trump put in place, the building of the wall. We were serious about border security until your administration took office. You stood before this committee and said that you would enforce the laws. You have not done that. The Editor says... Biden's negligent and cruel Del Rio disaster. "How could Biden do this to us?" Haitian migrant Sonia Piard asked reporters after being forced off a chartered plane in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. "We did not know we were going back to Haiti," Piard continued. "Nobody told us we were going back to Haiti." Piard is just one of hundreds, but soon to be thousands, of Haitian migrants who will be flown back to Haiti from the United States after living throughout Central and South America for almost a decade. They are victims of a Biden administration catastrophically but characteristically out of touch with the chaos that their open-borders policies have created and dangerously desperate to restore order. Bait And Switch, The Bridge To Nowhere, And The Soft Underbelly Of Future Promise. "The Bridge to Nowhere" is a term where extraordinary resources are required to complete a connection to a destination that has no real value. Recent limited coverage of the Del Rio, Texas Bridge is an example of the depths of both the Bait and Switch and the Bridge to Nowhere phenomena. The implied invitation of the Biden administration to ignore our border and Illegal immigration laws has resulted in the development of a Shanty Town under the bridge in Del Rio, Texas. The influx of humans and the sanitation and ingestion challenges are beyond our capabilities. Most of these people are from Haiti, a country which has seen terrible destruction and devastation from Hurricanes and corrupt governments. Their journey was about 2000 miles and they are a very poor nation. Connecting the dots on who is funding this migration is an unanswered question. The Del Rio Bridge is only one example of the out of control dilemma of our Southern Border. When coupled with the lack of interest in controlling the impact of the massive influx of illegal immigrants and the relocation of tens of thousands of refugees throughout our states, the extreme mask, vaccine and booster mandates on the rest of our population seem overstated, to say the least. 'Wrong Way' Biden Flies The Nation Into Yet Another Crisis. If President Joe Biden's navigating skills were any good, the southern border would be calm, inflation under control, every American safely out of Afghanistan, and COVID defeated. Instead, we are left to wonder how it is that his sense of direction can be so fabulously wrong. At his first-ever press conference from the White House in March, a reporter asked Biden about the surge at the border, which happened to coincide with his taking office. "The truth of the matter is, nothing has changed," Biden, after suggesting that he'd studied the immigration charts, said. "It happens every single solitary year. There is a significant increase in the number of people coming to the border in the winter months of January, February, March.["] "The reason they're coming," he went on, "is that it's the time they can travel with the least likelihood of dying on the way because of the heat in the desert." At the end of April, Biden reassured the nation that he'd flown past the problem. "Well, look, it's way down now. We've now gotten control." Right. Understanding the Haitian refugee crisis on the border. I offer a few comments on the Haitian migrant crises. First, this is mostly self-inflicted by the Biden administration. The Haitians heard Biden's call for economic "refugees" to come here. They understood that Biden had reversed Trump-era policies. So it should come as no surprise that they decided to try their luck. Second, it is remarkable that the administration largely succeeded in downplaying the crises for so long. Having a pliant media at its disposal was a factor. It was only after the migrant shantytown was populated by about 15,000 people, who were running out of rations and living in unsanitary conditions, with many more coming across the Rio Grande every day, that the media had to start covering the story. Third, the unfolding humanitarian crises led to, guess what, the Biden administration re-imposing Trump-era policies it and the media had decried during the campaign as racist and cruel. 'A sea of misery of biblical proportions'. Within hours of his inauguration, President Biden stopped the building of the border wall and made it clear to all comers around the world that our border is open. He invited all those migrants who have arrived from all over the world to enter what the left swears is an irreparably racist nation. Hmmm. The nearly twenty thousand Haitians now baking in the Texas sun were invited, too. More are said to be on their way. Babies are being born in what is a nightmare of "Bidenvilles," our very own refugee camps with all the filth and hunger that implies. Most of those stranded there paid the cartels thousands of dollars to get here; the women and girls are routinely sexually abused on the journey and in the camps. Over a million people, 200K per month, have entered the U.S. since Biden took office; who knows how many escaped notice, the "gotaways"? As press secretary Jennifer Psaki confirmed, these migrants are not tested for COVID, nor are they required to be vaxxed. The American citizens of Del Rio, the Texan town under siege, are quarantined if they test positive, but the illegal aliens are free to spread out into the interior of the country at taxpayer expense. U.S. Releasing Haitian Migrants On 'Very Large Scale,' Report Says. The situation in Del Rio has become the latest source of trouble for the Biden administration. Haitians have been arriving in the thousands and camping out under or around a bridge in the small border town amid ongoing instability in their country, which was rocked by a massive earthquake in August and the shocking assassination of its president in July. U.S. officials began ramping up expulsion of these migrants over the weekend, but quickly drew bipartisan scrutiny for images depicting aggressive tactics from border patrol agents corralling people on horseback. [Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro] Mayorkas told Congress on Tuesday [9/21/2021] he planned to have the make-shift refugee camp in Del Rio cleared out within 10 days. The Homeland Security chief explained this will be done through a mix of flights back to Haiti and moving migrants quickly "to other processing centers to ensure their security and the safety of the community." Haitian migrants revolt in custody and seize control of privately contracted bus. Haitian migrants who were being transported on a federally contracted private bus away from the border revolted during the ride and overtook control of the commercial vehicle before escaping, according to two law enforcement officials. A large white bus bound for San Antonio, Texas, was overtaken Monday afternoon during the two-and-a-half-hour trip from the international bridge in Del Rio. The migrants on board had been picked up from the makeshift migrant camp, where thousands are waiting to be taken into custody, two federal law enforcement agents told the Washington Examiner. "They did break out of the bus, and they did escape," a senior federal law enforcement official confirmed to the Washington Examiner on Tuesday [9/21/2021]. GOP investigates FAA drone ban that shut down coverage of migrant camp. Republican investigators demanded answers Tuesday from the Federal Aviation Administration over its decision last week to impose a ban on drone flights near the Texas migrant camp that sprang up on the banks of the Rio Grande. Kentucky Rep. James Comer and fellow Republicans on the House Oversight Committee said the ban was "totally devoid" of a justification and, given the details, it's tough to avoid the conclusion that the FAA was trying to protect the Biden administration from embarrassing images. "Using government resources to conduct such blatant censorship is exactly the kind of abuse of power that must be rooted out of our government — to say nothing to the basic lack of transparency," the House Republicans wrote in a letter that The Washington Times obtained first. Mayorkas Won't Admit Border Crisis Exists While Standing in Overrun Del Rio. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas channeled more of the same willful ignorance that's typified the Biden administration's handling of the illegal immigration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border during a press conference in Del Rio, Texas, on Monday [9/20/2021]. More than 13,000 illegal immigrants, including many from Haiti, crossing the Rio Grande to illegally enter the United States in recent days has led to the creation of an unofficial refugee camp as thousands of migrants huddle under Del Rio's International Bridge. GOP
State Governors Must ACT On Biden's Border Disaster. The Del Rio disaster is merely a symptom of Biden's treasonous Open Borders policy.
Consider what this man is doing:
Omar calls on Schumer, White House to 'ignore' Senate parliamentarian on path to citizenship. The Senate parliamentarian determined that lawmakers cannot include a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens in a budget reconciliation package, but Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., is pushing the Senate and the Biden administration to do it anyway. Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough determined Sunday night [9/19/2021] that the provision fell outside the scope of what is allowed in a reconciliation bill[,] which cannot be filibustered, thus requiring the support of only a simple majority in the Senate. "This ruling by the parliamentarian, is only a recommendation. @SenSchumer and the @WhiteHouse can and should ignore it," Omar said. "We can't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to do the right thing." The Editor says... August Jobs Report Bad — And Worse Given American Worker Displacement (Which Regime Media Doesn't Report). The news is worse than the Regime Media is reporting — immigrants took most of what few new jobs there were. Consequently, American Worker Displacement is inching up again — at exactly the moment when the Biden Administration is scheming to push through an unprecedented Amnesty/ Immigration Surge via the budget reconciliation process and has also allowed the southern border to collapse. The Biden Rush at the border had never stopped, it just mysteriously dropped out of Regime Media headlines. The truth behind the Texas bridge migrants. While the president took a long weekend relaxing at the beach in Delaware, another self-imposed crisis blew up in his face. The migrant shantytown under a concrete overpass in Del Rio, Texas, had ballooned to 15,000 souls, mainly Haitians. They were running out of food and water amid dangerously unsanitary conditions. With a pipeline of hundreds more flooding across the Rio Grande from Mexico every day, a humanitarian disaster was unfolding and the media were starting to pay attention. On Wednesday, 9,000 had arrived. By Saturday, 6,000 more had crossed the river with no impediment. The border was wide open. There wasn't even a sign to stop them. They set up camp in the shade under the International Bridge and soon had overwhelmed the port-a-potties provided by authorities. They were sleeping on the ground under rough tents fashioned from sticks and trash bags, washing their clothes in the river. The garbage piled up, and some of the migrants took to crossing back into Mexico to buy supplies. Congressman Releases New Photos of Del Rio Crisis: 'Has Reached a Boiling Point'. Rep. August Pfluger (R-Texas) is sounding alarm after after spending a day in the border town of Del Rio, Texas, where the illegal immigrants crisis, he said, "has reached a boiling point." Pfluger posted on Twitter new photos showing the makeshift campsite full of individuals who illegally entered the United States and took shelter underneath the border bridge connecting Del Rio to Ciudad Acuña, Mexico. He noted that there the crowd has grown to 15,000 on Saturday from 12,000 just the day before, with "hundreds more gathering every hour." Del Rio Mayor Calls Out Biden, Harris for Failing to Visit Border in Crisis: 'Why Aren't You Here?'. Democratic Del Rio Mayor Bruno Lozano has called out President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for failing to make an appearance at his town as it battles with an overwhelming illegal immigrant crisis that has left Border Patrol agents struggling to process thousands of people. More than 15,000 illegal immigrants, including Haitian, Cuban, and Venezuelan nationals, have illegally entered the United States in recent days and taken shelter underneath the border bridge connecting Del Rio, a Texas town of about 35,000 people, to Ciudad Acuña, Mexico. While numerous official figures and congressmen, including Rep. August Pfluger (R-Texas) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), have visited the town, shared images, and urged the Biden administration to take action, both Biden and Harris have been noticeably absent. Senate parliamentarian rules amnesty out of reconciliation. Politico reports that the Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, has decided that providing a pathway to legal status and citizenship for illegal immigrants is not a budget-related matter, and therefore cannot be enacted through the "reconciliation" process. This seems to mean that when the Democrats finally get around to passing budget reconciliation legislation, which they can do with a simple Senate majority, it will not include amnesty. To accomplish amnesty, the Dems will need 60 votes, and they don't have them. Senate Parliamentarian Blocks Democrats From Including Amnesty in Gargantuan Reconciliation Bill. Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough on Sunday ruled Democrats cannot include amnesty in their gargantuan reconciliation bill because it not a budget-related matter. The Democrats are pushing their $3.5 trillion "infrastructure" bill through budget reconciliation to go around Republicans because it will only need a simple majority to pass. Democrat lawmakers tried to sneak immigration reform in the infrastructure bill because they know it will never pass in a vote that requires at least 60 votes to pass. The Senate Parliamentarian rejected the Democrats' effort to give illegals a pathway to citizenship because it would lead to "other, life-changing federal, state and societal benefits." Democrats cannot use [their] $3.5 trillion spending bill to give millions of immigrants a pathway to citizenship, Senate's parliamentarian rules. Democrats cannot use their $3.5 trillion spending bill to give millions of immigrants a pathway to citizenship, the Senate's parliamentarian ruled late Sunday in a crushing blow to the party's agenda. The decision by Elizabeth MacDonough, the Senate's nonpartisan interpreter of its rules, is a potentially damaging setback for President Joe Biden, congressional Democrats and their allies in the pro-immigration and progressive communities. It badly damages Democrats' hopes of unilaterally enacting — over Republican opposition — changes letting several categories of immigrants gain permanent residence and possibly citizenship by issuing 8 million green cards. Joe Biden is in way over his head. The number, variety, magnitude, and speed of recent national and global crises have all clearly and without any doubt demonstrated that Joe Biden and his administration are simply in way over their heads and way beyond their abilities to understand and to respond to these events appropriately and intelligently. [...] Our southern border is, in reality, no longer a border. Many thousands of migrants are camped under a bridge in U.S. territory. And the administration seems surprised about it and scrambling to come up with any sort of plan to deal with it! How can well over 10,000 people from Haiti and other countries make their way to a border bridge without our government collecting intelligence about the migration and being prepared for the event — and even taking measures to avoid and prevent the crisis? So how did 15,000 Haitians suddenly find their way to Del Rio, Texas? The migrant mass of some 15,000 mostly Haitians now illegally on U.S. territory in a squalid, never-before-seen shantytown under a bridge near Del Rio, Texas, demands some answers. Here's how bad it is: [Tweet] It's natural to want to know how this formed? Why is it so big? Why did it end up at Del Rio, Texas, a town ill-equipped to accommodate them? How did these people fly or sail from faraway Haiti? Are more on the way? And where the heck is Joe Biden and his brainless, disengaged border czar, Kamala Harris? Joe was last seen at the beach in Delaware as this crisis fireballed and Harris was last seen flipping a coin to kick off a sports event. The only actual action from this administration in this monster crisis has been a hamfisted attempt to shut down a Fox News drone in a bid to halt photos of the specter from being broadcast to the public. Texas Governor Sends Highway Patrol, National Guard to Block Migrants at Border. Texas Governor Greg Abbott deployed a contingent of Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Highway Patrol troopers to stop the free flow of mostly Haitian migrants from crossing the Rio Grande. The force of nearly 1,000 troopers and National Guard soldiers entered the makeshift migrant camp housing nearly 15,000 migrants under the Del Rio International Bridge. On Saturday afternoon [9/18/2021], the troopers used vehicles and barbed wire to block access to a weir dam stretching the Rio Grande. The migrants utilized the dam as the primary crossing point from Mexico into the makeshift camp. Biden Administration Allows Border Invasion to Continue — Massive Crisis Overwhelms Del Rio Border Sector in Texas. The efforts of the Biden administration to collapse the U.S. immigration system and open the borders to unrestricted illegal alien migration are being extremely successful. Tens of thousands of illegal border crossers are now assembled in Del Rio, Texas, hometown to the Chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, Raul Ortiz. The issue has become so overwhelming Ortiz told Houston media, "We've never seen a migration population explode so quickly on the immediate border like we saw over the last 72 hours." Approximately 13,000 illegal aliens are now encamped underneath the overpass of the international bridge connecting Del Rio, Texas, to Ciudad Acuña in the Mexican state of Coahuila. Joe Biden goes to the beach. The border is being flooded by 15,000 illegal migrants massing under a bridge near Del Rio, Texas in the biggest migrant massing in U.S. history. For the Border Patrol, it's a disaster. There's no practical means of processing all of them into the country as is the Biden practice, meaning, no time to give them court-appearance papers, no time to vet them, no time to fingerprint them, no time to do the entire rigamarole for their fake asylum claims which will be rejected in any case. The New York Times notes that most of the migrants are country-shoppers, previously resettled refugees from other South American countries, who have come to the U.S. in search of a better benefit package, which creates particular problems in deporting them back. Worse still, there's a humanitarian crisis building, with no resources to feed them, house them, test them for COVID and other diseases, let alone time to vaccinate them. Some are having babies. The garbage they've created and strewn around has now reached heights of ten feet. Many are building shacks to create an imported shantytown just like the places they left back home. Scrappy Fox News teaches Biden administration's censors a lesson. In the crudest crypto-censorship since dictators made newsprint unavailable, the Biden administration tried to shut down Fox News's coverage of the border crisis by cutting off its drone access for camera shots, depriving the network of the ability to broadcast the actual news in pictures as it was happening on the ground. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which has never been misused in this way, claimed its two-week shutoff was all about public safety. Thomas Lifson wrote about the sorry spectacle here. Here's the real reason: Fox News's original reporting, done by Bill Melugin (a must-follow on Twitter), documented a historic crisis building at the border as tens of thousands of migrants swarmed into the U.S. near Del Rio, Texas. The photos were shocking and embarrassing to the Biden administration. The Bidenites wanted those pictures shut down. Coverage like Fox's was clearly making an impact on public opinion and had the potential to force the Bidenites to take action to halt the unprecedented invasion or else face voter consequences. 'We hope the US can help us': Haitian migrants in Texas wait on border, seeking asylum. Riquet Terneus, 34, left Haiti with his wife and 7-year-old daughter three months ago, searching for a new home for his family. "Haiti doesn't provide safety," he said. "People are scared to go out on the street. If you need any services or a hospital, there's nowhere to go." In the months since Terneus left, Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated and a 7.2 magnitude earthquake killed more than 2,000 in the small nation. Terneus says the worst part of the journey from South America was crossing the rainforest on foot in Panama's Darien Gap. After a month of waiting in Tapachula, Chiapas on Mexico's southern border, Terneus took buses north to Del Rio, Texas. US closes Del Rio border crossing as thousands of migrants illegally cross. The federal agency that oversees U.S. borders made the unprecedented move to shut down a port of entry between Mexico and Texas in response to an unmanageable flow of migrants arriving in the thousands overnight. U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Office of Trade announced Friday evening that the Del Rio Port of Entry in Texas would immediately stop operating, stopping traffic headed north into the United States or south into Mexico. [...] All vehicular traffic will have to travel an hour's drive to the next closest open port of entry between Eagle Pass, Texas, and Piedras Negras, Mexico. Shocking Fox report: our border is wide-open, masses equal to Texas towns, they're coming in taxis. Fox News applied for permission to fly the drone over the Del Rio bridge and it was granted by the same FAA that banned them. The head of the FAA is answerable to Pothole Pete Buttigieg. The Texas DPS gave Fox reporter Bill Melugin a ride in their helicopter, allowing him to get the same border shots the drone had access to. The FAA received a lot of blowback and looked dangerously partisan. Biden went on vacation during this so he doesn't have to answer a single question. These numbers equal a significant number of Texas towns. We are no longer America and will have no say over our nation in the future. These are the people who will vote with totalitarian Democrats and determine our future. Illegal Immigrant Numbers Explode In Del Rio, Now Nearly 10k, Most From Haiti, Biden Puts Ban On Drones Filming. The number of migrants, predominantly from Haiti, waiting under the International Bridge in Del Rio, Texas has doubled to more than 10,000 in a single day, with sources telling Fox News that the situation is "out of control" and Border Patrol is overwhelmed. Drone footage from Fox News shows the number of migrants under the bridge, who are just waiting to be apprehended by Border Patrol, has surged within a single day. [Video clip] Wait: Isn't Kamala In Charge Of This Mess? And now this weekend traffic and weather update from Del Rio,TX: [Video clip] Expect long delays as traffic backs up at the International Bridge due to deconstruction on the American side. There should be a deluge of Haitians with widely scattered Mexicans and a few gusts of terrorists throughout the weekend. The extended outlook calls for more of the same with inevitable flooding and no relief in sight. Despite this fact the Federal Government is not expected to declare the area a disaster zone. When contacted, a spokesmouth for the Administration commented that the visitors were behaving better than the insurrectionists of 1/6, noting that it appeared they were all lining up in an orderly fashion to present themselves to border guards as required prior to entering the already deluged country. Biden to begin 'deportation blitz' as soon as tomorrow and restart the repatriation flights to Haiti he cancelled a week ago. The Biden administration has begun preparing deportation flights to Haiti in order to curb the number of undocumented migrants flooding into Del Rio, Texas, after nearly 14,000 immigrants began camping in the area as thousand continue to arrive. Department of Homeland Security officials are planning as many as eight flights per day to Haiti, starting on Sunday, about a week since President Joe Biden cancelled repatriation flights to Haiti. Haiti — which is recovering from a magnitude 7.2 earthquake that killed more than 2,000 people and damaged more than 100,000 homes — is prepared to only accept at least three flights a day, but Biden's administration will push for the eight, The Washington Post reported. Mass of Migrants Crosses Rio Grande, Enters U.S. Illegally as Border Crisis Worsens. Taking advantage of an apparent lapse in border security at the junction of Del Rio, Texas and Mexico, hundreds of migrants crossed the Rio Grande River and illegally entered the United States. Video footage recorded by Fox News depicts masses of people wading into the water to reach the other side. [Tweet] Within the last day, an estimated 11,000 migrants have congregated under the Del Rio international bridge, waiting to be apprehended by U.S. border patrol for processing. Many of the migrants have set up encampments and shelters, according to photos Fox News captured. The federal government is reportedly bringing in school buses from the local Texas school district to help transport the crowds of migrants under the bridge, an anonymous U.S. Border Patrol source told Bill Melugin of Fox News. Biden Admin Shuts Down All Border Patrol Checkpoints in Laredo Sector. U.S. Border Patrol officials closed all highway immigration checkpoints operating in the Laredo Sector on Friday evening in response to the Haitian migrant crisis unfolding in Del Rio, Texas, according to a source within Customs and Border Protection. The Laredo Sector operates six permanent checkpoints including one of the busiest checkpoints in the nation located on the I-35 Interstate corridor between Laredo and San Antonio. Laredo Sector Border Patrol highway checkpoints inspect thousands of vehicles daily. Staffing normally reserved for the inspections that result in the seizure of countless migrants and illicit narcotics will be diverted to assist with the care, transport, and processing of more than 10,000 mostly Haitian migrants detained under the Del Rio International Bridge. Laredo Border Patrol checkpoints left unmanned. Checkpoints in and out of Laredo have been shut down. In a video interview, U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar told KGNS the decision comes from the Federal Government as it tries to send available Border Patrol agents to Del Rio due to the influx of migrants. It's been an overwhelming situation for Del Rio officials to handle for the past 48 hours. More than 12,000 migrants, mostly from Haiti, have been gathering under the international bridge between Del Rio and Ciudad Acuña, Mexico. Officials are scrambling to bring reinforcements from across the country. Biden sparks new border crisis: 10,000 Haitians gather under Texas bridge in just a week after president quietly ended deportation flights to the country. Governor Greg Abbott has slammed Joe Biden for the 'complete disarray' at the US-Mexico border which has left agents 'overwhelmed' as the number of Haitian migrants camped out under a bridge in Texas has now swelled to around 12,000. The Texas governor announced he was sending National Guard troops and officers with the Texas Department of Public Safety to the state's ports of entry to 'deter crossings' as he compared the migrant crisis to the chaotic withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan. 'The Biden administration is in complete disarray and is handling the border crisis as badly as the evacuation from Afghanistan,' he said. Fox Reporter Outfoxes Biden FAA After They Try to Stop His Drone Coverage of Huge Illegal Alien Influx. Fox's Bill Melugin has been reporting on the horrible situation at the International Bridge in Del Rio, Texas for the past two days. [Tweets] You can see the massive number of people there. So could other Americans from Fox's drone coverage. That must have made someone in the Biden team unhappy, so suddenly the FAA told Fox they were banned from flying their drones over the bridge for the next two weeks for a "special security reason." US to send migrants gathered under Texas bridge back to Haiti: Report. The Biden administration is planning to send thousands of migrants who have gathered under a bridge near a Texas border crossing back to their home nation of Haiti beginning Sunday, the Associated Press reported Friday night. The AP cited an official who said that between five and eight flights per day would depart from various cities in an effort to relieve the pressure on local and federal officials in the city of Del Rio. It was not immediately clear which cities would be used for the departure flights. More than 13,000 migrants, the vast majority from Haiti, were estimated to have taken shelter under the International Bridge that connects Del Rio with Ciudad Acuna, Mexico as of Friday night — and hundreds more are arriving each day. "This Is Illegal" - Republican Senator Blasts FAA Decision To Ground Drones Filming Texas Bridge Border Chaos. Republican South Carolina Sen. John Kennedy said Friday that the FAA's grounding of all drones near that Texas bridge is fulfilling the Biden administration's goal to hide the "lunacy" of its "open border" policy. [...] The Border Patrol denied that grounding the drones has anything to do with news gathering and said that it "requested the temporary flight restriction due to drones interfering with law enforcement flights on the border." Surge of Haitians at the border shows Team Biden really has no clue what to do. Why hasn't Vice President Kamala Harris visited Port-au-Prince? She insisted that you need to examine the "root causes" in order to handle the border crisis. Well, in the past few months, Haiti's president was assassinated and the island nation was hit by an earthquake and a hurricane. Those are some root causes. But Harris didn't visit Haiti, and President Joe Biden's administration barely reacted to the unrest — sending USAID to offer some nominal assistance. The Biden administration did nothing to make Haiti a more stable place to live, and through words and action sent the message that the US border is wide open. After all, US Customs and Border Protection says it has encountered 1,002,722 unique individuals crossing the border — illegally or asking for asylum — just in the first eight months of this year. Tens or hundreds of thousands more surely enter without being caught. The Haitians saw that Guatemalans and Hondurans and Ecuadorians were being waved right in — why not them? Border Patrol to Shut Down All Sector Checkpoints as Migrant Border Bridge Detention Camp Swells to 10K. A law enforcement source within U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) tells Breitbart Texas that the unfolding Haitian migrant crisis is forcing the agency to shut down normal operations at all inland Del Rio Sector Border Patrol highway checkpoints. Staffing typically reserved for inspecting thousands of vehicles daily will be diverted to assist with the care, transport, and processing of 10,000 mostly Haitian migrants currently detained under the Del Rio International Bridge. According to the source not authorized to speak to the media, the shutdown will begin at 12 am local time on Friday [9/17/2021] and last until an orderly process to deal with the migrants at the makeshift camp is established. The immigration checkpoints are the last line of defense for the Border Patrol. Ted Cruz Releases Close Up Video Footage Of 10,000+ 'Illegal Aliens' Under Overpass. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) released video that he recorded in Del Rio, Texas, of the national security and humanitarian disaster that has unfolded on Democrat President Joe Biden's watch. The video showed thousands upon thousands of illegal aliens who were being held by the Biden administration under an overpass. Cruz said that more than 10,000 were being held. "The reason they're here is simple," Cruz says in the video. "Eight days ago, the Biden administration made a political decision, a political decision to cancel deportation flights to Haiti. They did that on September 8th. Eight days later these numbers appear." Sen. Cruz Finds 10,503 People Waiting for Border Patrol Under a Texas Bridge. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), with his cell phone, is picking up where Fox News was forced to leave off — videotaping the mass of illegal immigrants crowded together under a Del Rio, Texas bridge, all waiting for the overwhelmed Border Patrol agents to process them. Fox News says the Federal Aviation Administration has now imposed flight restrictions on the Fox News drone that flew over the swelling crowd earlier Thursday [9/16/2021]. Cruz says the Biden White House is trying to prevent the American people from seeing the continuing disaster at the southwest border: "The drone footage started this morning, and people across the country were horrified, and I guess the political operatives at the Biden white House saw that and decided the last thing they want is Fox News actually reporting on what is happening down here. So now the FAA is saying please, no journalists allowed," Cruz said: [Video clip] The Editor says... Footage shows hundreds of illegal migrants streaming across border into Texas. Stunning helicopter footage shot Friday [9/17/2021] shows hundreds of illegal immigrants streaming into Texas from Mexico across the Rio Grande — with no intervention form authorities on either side of the border. One day after the Federal Aviation Administration prevented Fox News from using a drone to capture images of thousands of illegal immigrants sheltering under the Texas bridge, the outlet is now able to capture aerial footage from a Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter. On Thursday, the FAA instituted a two-week flight restriction over the city of Del Rio, Texas that has seen over 10,000 illegal immigrants sheltering under the Del Rio International Bridge as they wait to be processed by border patrol. Biden admin to step up deportation of Haitians to address migrant surge, documents say. As more than 10,000 mainly Haitian migrants shelter under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas, as part of a new surge of migration to that stretch of the U.S. border, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is planning to ramp up deportation flights to Haiti over the next week, according to internal documents obtained by NBC News. Next week, ICE plans to fly eight deportation flights to Haiti and will then increase that number to 10 per week, according to one of the documents. A few deportation flights just restarted in the past few days in response to the surge of Haitians. The flights had previously been paused by the Biden administration in response to the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that devastated Haiti on Aug. 14. A single deportation flight can hold around 135 migrants, Department of Homeland Security officials said. Biden Admin Moves To Shut Down Drones On Southern Border As They Reveal His Crisis To The World. The Biden administration moved to shut down drones flying in an area along the U.S. southern border where the administration has thousands upon thousands of migrants being held under an overpass. Fox News reported that, according to law enforcement sources, the majority of those being held under the overpass are Haitians. The report comes as the Biden administration once again suffered a catastrophic month at the border for the month of August, according to reports this week. "We've learned that the FAA just implemented a two week TFR (Temporary Flight Restrictions) over the international bridge in Del Rio, TX, meaning we can no longer fly our FOX drone over it to show images of the thousands of migrants," Fox News reporter Bill Melugin tweeted. "FAA says 'special security reason.'" FNC's Melugin: New FAA Rule Keeps Us from Filming Del Rio Situation with Drone, We've Used It at Border for Seven Months Without Issue. On Thursday's [9/16/2021] broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Fox News National Correspondent Bill Melugin reported that the FAA has imposed a temporary flight restriction for the area around the bridge where thousands of migrants are congregating near Del Rio, TX, and as a result, Fox can't use its drone to capture aerial footage of the situation around the bridge. Melugin also said they've used the drone around the border for seven months and it hasn't been a problem until now. Melugin said, "We've been using our drone to show everybody these remarkable pictures. ... We just learned that the FAA has put out a temporary flight restriction, a TFR, in the area immediately around the port of entry where that bridge is. What does that mean? It means our drone can no longer fly and show those images. [...]" No Fly Zone: FAA Shuts Down Fox News Drone Exposing Border Crisis. In an apparent attempt to cover up the border crisis, the Biden administration has shut down Fox News's ability to fly their drone over the U.S.-Mexico border to report on the border crisis, which swelled in August and again in the last 24 hours. On Thursday's [9/16/2021] Special Report, national correspondent Bill Melugin showed the over 9,000-person crowd of illegals under the international bridge. But on Tucker Carlson Tonight, two hours later, he was forced to report that the FAA had issued a temporary flight restriction or TFR over the entire area. "Stunning footage out of Del Rio, Texas on Thursday. As our Fox Flight Team drone shows thousands of migrants crammed under the international bridge waiting to be processed after crossing illegally into the United States," he reported on Special Report. DC Judge Emmett Sullivan Blocks Trump-Era Rule Banning Illegal Alien Families from Crossing US Border. Corrupt DC Judge Emmett Sullivan blocked a Trump-era expulsion of migrant illegal alien families caught crossing the border into the United States. Democrats and crooked DC Judge Emmett Sullivan believe in open borders. Last month over 200,000 illegal aliens from all over the world were apprehended at the open US southern border. Thousands of Haitian migrants pour across the border at Del Rio as makeshift camp swells to 10,000. Thousands of migrants continue to converge in a makeshift camp under the bridge that connects Del Rio, Texas and Mexico's Ciudad Acuña, in the latest border emergency and humanitarian crisis facing US President Joe Biden. The camp had swelled to some 10,000 migrants on Thursday, with thousands seen wading across the Rio Grande River daily. Most are Haitians, with some Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans also present. Amid the surge of the highly infectious Delta variant, the crowded conditions of the camp also raised concerns about the possibility of COVID-19 outbreaks endangering the health of the migrants. The Editor says... The Left seeks to remove any and all controls on asylum. One might assume that even the most radical fringes of the American Left would be fairly content about the state of things in this country today, particularly on immigration. After all, the Biden administration has given them pretty much everything they wanted to erode our borders and the rule of law. Any such assumption would be incorrect, as anti-borders forces are pushing like never before for even more extremist policies to transform this country into a place most people would not recognize or desire to live. The most recent example of this is took place in the U.S. District Court of Southern California. An Obama-appointed judge ruled that the government's "metering" policy of turning back asylum-seekers to points of entry in Mexico to be unconstitutional. While this may sound like another garden-variety immigration case in federal court, it represents a sharp detour from both policy and the government's approach to immigration. FAA prevents Fox News drone from filming thousands of illegals gathered at Del Rio, TX crossing. CNN, MSNBC and the alphabet networks have all have ignored the massive invasion of illegal aliens touched off by the Biden administrations' welcome mat. They, and their Democrat colleagues do not want the public to see evidence of the 200,000 a month arriving. Fox News, to its everlasting honor, is covering the invasion thoroughly, and has been using drones to show the magnitude of the problem. Until just a few hours ago. On Tucker Carlson's top-rated program, news broke that the FAA has grounded the drone Fox was using at Del Rio to show at least 10,000 Haitians sheltering under a bridge on the US side of the border: [Video clip] Biden's Border Crisis Rages On; TV News Airtime Down 94%. The crisis along the U.S. southern border is still terrible, and the liberal news media still don't care. According to the latest statistics from U.S. Customs and Border Security, there were 208,887 encounters along the southern border, only a slight decrease from a revised 213,534 reported in July, a 21-year record. Yet broadcast evening news coverage in August was virtually nil: Just 6 minutes, 28 seconds on the Big Three during the entire month, including weekends. That's four minutes, 12 seconds on the NBC Nightly News; two minutes and 16 seconds on the CBS Evening News, and nothing — zero minutes and zero seconds — on ABC's World News Tonight in August. This is barely unchanged from July, when those same newscasts spent just four minutes, 20 seconds on the border crisis, despite the worsening numbers. Migrant crowd waiting under Texas border bridge doubles to 8K overnight. The number of migrants waiting under a bridge in Texas to be apprehended by the Border Patrol has doubled overnight and now tops 8,000 people, according to a report Thursday [9/16/2021]. Drone footage shot by Fox News shows the sea of migrants, the majority from Haiti, under the International Bridge in Del Rio, Texas, and sources tell the network the situation is "out of control" and that Border Patrol agents are overwhelmed. There were about 4,000 migrants at the bridge Wednesday, but the number spiked overnight to around 8,200. A law enforcement official told Fox News most of the crowd is made up of Haitians and more are arriving every moment. 'National Magazine of Texas' Marvels That Hispanic Texans Are Voting Republican. [Scroll down] Tejanos have been in Texas for generations, from the time when it was part of the Spanish Empire. Badly misunderstood and under-reported is the fact that Tejanos are and have been part of the culture of Texas long before we Anglos showed up. [...] They're Texans and American citizens. They resisted elitist dictator Santa Anna, fought at the Alamo and San Jacinto, they've served in every major war defending the United States, they've won Medals of Honor and have state veterans homes named after them — and their communities are the most directly affected by the chaos that out-of-state Democrats tend to unleash on the border. They serve in the Border Patrol and the Coast Guard, and they work in the oil fields and own thriving businesses. Coyotes, cartels, drugs, and trafficking all affect Tejano communities first, while the rich Democrats who party at the Met are unaffected personally and weaponize the border as a racial cudgel. RGV citizens are not happy about that and they know whom to blame. Shocking photos show 4,500 migrants camped under [a] bridge in [a] Texas community. An impromptu migrant camp under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas, has swollen to more than 4,500 people, according to Val Verde County Sheriff Joe Frank Martinez, who said it's become an untenable situation for all involved. Shocking photos show the crush of people, some sleeping on the ground, with clothes strung around them on lines or concrete barriers. The camp had been hovering in the hundreds of occupants for several weeks, but a new surge of a couple hundred people a day has sent the number skyrocketing. Democrats Continue to Lose Ground in Texas as Hispanic Voters Turn Their Back on the Left. The blue wave that the left said was going to hit Texas continues to recede further and further back as numbers continue to show Democrats losing ground in the Lone Star State. According to Texas Monthly, Starr County is turning red by leaps and bounds with Republicans showing up in droves and increasing their presence by the triple digits while Zapata County is seeing red for the first time in decades. 3,000 Migrants [are being] Forced to Camp Under [a] Border Bridge in Texas. A source within CBP provided Breitbart Texas a video of the makeshift camp erected under the local international bridge. The source, not authorized to speak to the media, says the total number of detainees continues to rise and will imminently reach at least 3,000. The brief video shows the entire span of the international bridge that sits on the United States-side of the border being used to provide shelter for mostly Haitian migrants. Water tanks and portable outdoor toilets are in place as hundreds of migrants arrive on a daily basis. The situation developing for the Border Patrol continues to worsen by the hour. On Monday, the number of migrants under the bridge reached 2,000. Border Agents Encounter[ed] 200,000 Migrants in August. Border agents encountered over 200,000 migrants attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border during the month of August. Agents encountered 208,887 migrants in August, the second consecutive month with over 200,000 encounters, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told Fox News on Wednesday. Agents saw 212,672 migrants in July, the first time in 21 years that encounters rose above 200,000. The number of migrants apprehended in August increased 317 percent from August 2020, when Customs and Border Protection reported 50,014 encounters, and a 233 percent increase from August 2019, when 62,707 migrants were apprehended. Nearly 8 Million Illegal Immigrants to Get Amnesty Under Biden's Budget Resolution Says House GOP. Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee strictly oppose the immigration reform measures in the committee's portion of the Democrats' $3.5 trillion budget resolution package because they say the bill grants amnesty to nearly 8 million illegal immigrants and encourages more people to flood the southern border. "June was the highest month on record until July when 212,000 enforcement encounters took place; my guess is August will be higher yet. So, what are Democrats focused on in this legislation? Putting amnesty in a bill for — approximately 8 million illegal immigrants — in a bill that spends $3.5 trillion," Jordan said in his opening statement to the House Judiciary Committee hearing Monday [9/13/2021]. Jordan said he opposes the immigration reform bill put forth by Democrats in the FY 2022 budget resolution, because it fails to protect American citizens and adhere to our founding documents. Joe Biden Is a Total Failure. The open artery at the southern border where the nodding Homeland security secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, repeated for six months that "the border is closed" saw 1.2 million people swarm illegally into the United States, many thousands of them on live television. Mayorkas has been overheard to say that the status of the border is "unsustainable," but this assessment seems not to have reached Washington. Desperate rancher near Southern border: 'Dead bodies piling up here. Where's Joe Biden?' While dramatic news about Afghanistan and COVID-19 lockdowns has dominated much of the news cycle, ranchers on the US-Mexico border have a front row view of the crisis that continues to unfold there, such as the accumulation of "[President] Biden bodies" Rancher and lawyer Brett Smith of Kinnie, Texas told Fox News on Monday [9/6/2021] that upwards of $60,000 worth of damage has been done to his land from illegal immigrants overwhelming the southern border. Smith told "Fox & Friends" that in addition, bodies are piling up as illegal immigrants die in attempts to reach locations within the U.S. and have reached such an extent that "we've started calling them Biden bodies... It's from one policy [that] this is occurring, and it's the same policy that can be stopped by one person but it's not happening." He went on to state that "it's time for lawmakers to stop placing Americans in second place to illegal immigrants." Get ready for more Central American migrant caravans. Now that Joe Biden has transported some 100,000 unvetted Afghani "refugees" to the U.S., the Central American migrant caravans are back, too. [...] As in the past, the photo show the migrants waving the flags of the [c]ountries they are deperate not to be sent back to. And accordding to other reports, the migrants are coming as a group to protest the slow U.S. asylum process. They see themselves as entitled to faster customer service from the U.S., despite the fact that they don't add much value to the U.S. economy, few speak English, and most will assimilate into the U.S. underclass. The fact that migration officials are now inundaded with Afghani "refugees" to process isn't going to bring any results, which may mean the protest isn't all that serious and what they really want is for Joe Biden to just let them in with no vetting at all. The New York Post goes on patrol with feds to witness Biden's border crisis first hand. Shortly after President Biden took office in 2021, he rolled back strict immigration policies instituted by his predecessor, including a "remain in Mexico" mandate which resulted in thousands of non-Mexican migrants waiting in Mexico for immigration hearings in the US. Thousands of migrants poured across the border in the early days of the Biden administration, spurred by promises made by smugglers that they would be more welcome under the new regime, immigration experts said. In March Biden put Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of the border crisis, and delivered the belated message: "Don't come over." After a brief visit to Guatemala to discuss "root causes" and an even shorter stop at the border in June, Harris has barely talked about it — and nothing has changed. Crossings are still as high as ever. It's the crisis that Biden is either ignoring — or doesn't care that it's happening. 2K Hatian, Venezuelan Migrants Cross Border into West Texas this Week. More than 2,000 mostly Haitian and Venezuelan migrants crossed the Rio Grande at Del Rio, Texas, during the past week. Several hundred migrants remain at the river's edge awaiting transport and processing due to logistical problems plaguing the Border Patrol. The flow of more than 2,000 such migrants in a week is such that the Border Patrol cannot keep up with the detention space required to detain the large groups at temporary detention and processing facilities in the area, according to a source with CBP who spoke with Breitbart Texas under the condition of anonimity. It is not uncommon for outdoor space to be used for detention due to the increase in migrant crossings in the area, Breitbart reported. Biden Builds Another Migrant Detention Center Near Border In Texas. The Border Patrol announced it will begin construction of another soft-sided migrant detention facility in response to the continuing surge of illegal border crossings. The facility in Laredo, Texas, like others recently constructed along the state's border with Mexico, will accommodate 500 migrants and will be completed in late September. The facility will be similar in appearance to other facilities constructed in Eagle Pass and Donna, Texas, earlier this year. The new facility will assist the agency in accommodating the influx of migrants that forced the agency to resort to outdoor detention recently as existing facilities face issues of overcrowding. According to Border Patrol officials, the facility will hire and employ contract medical, security, cleaning, and care staff for the migrants being housed. Importing Enemies. Importing as many immigrants as possible, from cultures as alien to traditional America as possible, is the ruling class's top priority, after protecting its own wealth and power. [...] But does anyone really believe that America has, or ever had — even over the duration of two decades — 200,000 "allies" in Afghanistan? That we ever employed even a fraction of that number as translators? The claim is risible on its face. The regime has in any case already admitted that, of the roughly 111,600 Afghans (as compared to 5,400 American citizens) already evacuated, it has no idea who the vast majority of them are. Our masters tell us that we must save "allies" and "translators" — and then in the next breath admit that they're indiscriminately taking anyone. People who act and speak this brazenly do so out of a deep reservoir of contempt and hatred. The message is "We can do and say whatever we want; we can lie and contradict ourselves within the same sentence, and there's nothing you can do about it. In fact, if you object, or even notice, we will use our power to crush you." Democrats urge DHS to waive fees for Afghan migrants. A group of Democrats is urging Homeland Security to cancel the fees that normally would have been charged for Afghans who are being evacuated to the U.S., saying they are worried the need to pay will hold up some applications and cost some would-be migrants their lives. Rep. Jim Himes, who is leading the push, said they don't want to see corners cut on the security side. "But charging a filing fee that holds up the entire process and potentially costs refugees their lives doesn't make Americans any safer," he said. "It's exactly the type of red tape we need to cut through if we're serious about saving as many lives as we can." The Editor says... The case for impeachment. Article II also obligates the President to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed." These include the immigration laws. Article IV requires the federal government to protect every state against invasion. Clearly, by opening the southern border, President Biden has failed to faithfully execute the immigration laws, to fulfill his constitutional duty to protect the states against invasion or to protect the health and safety of our citizens. The political rationale for opening the border to Central Americans is to change the demographics of the country to bolster the rolls of Democrat voters. Many states do not require citizenship as a requirement for voter registration, and several automatically register people to vote when they are issued a drivers' license. Cubans, however, are unwelcome, presumably because they tend to vote Republican. More than a million aliens have entered illegally since Biden took office. Many who cross illegally carry COVID, or are members of criminal gangs, bringing fentanyl, heroin, meth, or children trafficked into sexual slavery. It is outrageous that a President would sacrifice the health and safety of his citizens to solidify his Party's grip on power. Border deaths soar; 2021 could break all-time record. Rogelio Perez Gutierrez probably saw the lights of La Jolla from the boat in the minutes before he and 13 other migrants were ordered to strip off their life jackets, jump into the water and swim for it. That was as close as he would get. Many of the migrants struggled in the water. Gutierrez had it the worst. The others recalled to agents that he slipped under the Pacific Ocean surf before they saw his lifeless body floating near the panga boat that was supposed to have brought them to shore. DeSantis Blasts Biden Admin For Relocating Illegal Aliens in Florida: 'We Cannot Abide the Lawlessness'. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis tore into the Biden administration over its relocation of illegal migrants to his there without notifying state officials or bothering to ask for permission to place them. In his letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, DeSantis, a Republican seen as a leading GOP presidential contender in 2024 if former President Donald Trump doesn't run, said putting illegal migrants in Florida undermines the state's effort to ensure that "criminal aliens are not released back into our communities." DeSantis began by reminding Mayorkas he wrote to the DHS chief in April requesting that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents take into custody illegal alien felons who were completing their sentences in his state, while also noting that he asked ICE to inform Florida state law enforcement officials when the agency released criminal aliens, but to no avail. Democracy doesn't work in tribal societies like Afghanistan — or America. Most Americans traditionally are not tribal, except in the American nationalism sense. They're products of a melting pot of British, Italians, Irish, Mexican, African, Indian and so on. They've seen themselves as Americans. Virtually all Americans in our history have spoken the common language. They either immigrated from an English-speaking country or learned English shortly after arriving. [...] But American culture is changing. [...] Immigrants are encouraged not to learn the common language and not to assimilate into Americanism — despite their desire to do so. Anyone who suggests they should, is shouted down and cancelled as racist. DHS approved thousands of ineligible immigrants to work in U.S.: Audit. The Department of Homeland Security approved thousands of noncitizens to work in the U.S. even though its own system tried to flag them as probably ineligible, according to a new inspector general report that paints a grim picture of the government's best tool for weeding out undocumented immigrant workers. The E-Verify system also confirmed work authorization for about 280,000 noncitizens in 2019 without actually matching them to photos online, opening an avenue for fraud that undocumented immigrants could exploit to take jobs, the Homeland Security inspector general said. Over the years, the biggest concern about E-Verify was that it would wrongly reject citizens or immigrants who were permitted to work. But the new report suggests the larger issue is that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is approving people who should not be taking American jobs. Supreme Court Allows Revival of Trump-Era 'Remain in Mexico' Asylum Policy. The Supreme Court on Tuesday [8/24/2021] refused to block a ruling from a federal judge in Texas requiring the Biden administration to reinstate a Trump-era immigration program that forces asylum seekers arriving at the southwestern border to await approval in Mexico. The court's brief unsigned order said that the administration had appeared to act arbitrarily and capriciously in rescinding the program, citing a decision last year refusing to let the Trump administration rescind the Obama-era program protecting the young immigrants known as dreamers. Supreme Court Rules Against Biden, Reinstates Trump's 'Remain In Mexico' Policy. The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday [8/24/2021] against the Biden administration's attempt to end former President Donald Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy. In a 6-3 vote, the court rejected the administration's bid to block U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk's ruling that revived the enforcement of the policy. The high court said the administration failed to show the decision to end the policy was not arbitrary and capricious. Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan dissented. Supreme Court Orders Reinstatement of 'Remain in Mexico' Policy in [a] Blow to Biden Admin. The Supreme Court on Tuesday [8/24/2021] declined to block a lower-court ruling that will require the Biden administration to reinstate the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" policy for asylum seekers at the U.S. border. The court's three liberal justices dissented, saying they would have granted the administration's request to halt the lower court's order. The administration had sought to end the policy, formally known as Migrant Protection Protocols, which forces migrants to await their U.S. immigration court dates in Mexico. The program was first suspended when Biden took office and was later formally terminated. However, Texas and Missouri sued to challenge the Biden administration's decision to end the program. Border Patrol agents say they aren't allowed to do their job, feel 'downtrodden, almost dead inside'. There were 212,672 people apprehended at the United States southern border in July, the highest number in 21 years and a 13% increase from June. There were more than 19,000 unaccompanied children detained at the border, likely the second-highest total on record, according to the Associated Press. The massive influx of illegal immigrants arrived during some of the hottest summer weeks, which is typically when border crossings decrease due to the scorching heat. The overwhelming flood of illegal immigrants and the lack of tools to do their job has allegedly crushed the morale of U.S. Border Patrol agents. The Drossy Touch of Joe Biden. Almost everything Joe Biden has touched since entering office has turned to dross. [...] Biden took a secure border, along with increasingly legal-only immigration, and then destroyed both. He stopped construction of the border wall, encouraged an expected 2 million illegal entries over the current fiscal year, promised amnesties, and resumed "catch and release." He did all that at a time of a pandemic, exempting illegal aliens from all the requirements of COVID testing and mass vaccinations that he had hectored his own citizens about getting. With planned mass amnesties and millions more invited to cross illegally in the next three years, was Biden seeking to found a new American nation within the now passé old American nation? Did he believe that Americans did not deserve their citizenship and newcomers from south of the border were somehow more worthy? Did he see the 2 million new residents as instant voters under new relaxed rules of balloting? While you were watching Afghanistan, Dems were pushing through amnesty. Democrats are misdirecting. While everyone is concentrating on the Afghanistan crisis, Democrats are pushing through their radical agenda. Right now, all eyes are on Afghanistan and it's understandable. [...] But with all eyes on Afghanistan, the Democrats are using this as an opportunity to ram through amnesty. They have already added amnesty provisions to the annual spending package. Amnesty would legalize millions of illegal aliens. The bill sets aside 107 Billion to pay for it. Experts estimate that this funding would allow Democrats to legalize a little more than 10 million illegal aliens. These are illegal aliens who broke the law, and continue to break the law by remaining in this country. Under this plan, they would all get to stay. US Supreme Court Intervenes in 'Remain in Mexico' Case, Blocking Program's Revival. The U.S. Supreme Court on Aug. 20 temporarily blocked the reinstatement of the "Remain in Mexico" program, intervening just hours before President Joe Biden's administration would have had to restart the policy. Justice Samuel Alito, a George W. Bush nominee, in a one-page order, stayed a ruling by a federal judge that was poised to go into effect on Aug. 21. That ruling would have forced the Biden administration to restart the Trump-era program, formally known as the Migrant Policy Protocols (MPP). The Biden administration ended the program on June 1, triggering a lawsuit from the states of Texas and Missouri. Alito issued the order after the U.S. government filed an emergency motion with the nation's top court. He said he was blocking the lower court ruling so that the full Supreme Court could consider the application. He has asked the states that are challenging the Biden administration's reversal of the policy to respond to the administration's request by Aug. 24. More than 1 million people entered U.S. illegally in first six months of 2021. The number of people entering the U.S. illegally who were processed by Border Patrol from January through July of this year totaled more than 1.1 million, enough to create the 10th largest city in the U.S. and more than the populations of nine states individually. Currently, the tenth largest city is San Jose, Calif., with a population of 1.03 million. To date, the number is also greater than each of the populations of [nine U.S. states] and the District of Columbia. If the numbers continue at the current rate, those crossing the southern border illegally will total close to the population of the fourth largest city of Houston, with a population of 2.3 million, a population greater than 15 states and the District of Columbia. Biden asks Supreme Court to block order reinstating 'Remain in Mexico' policy. The Biden administration asked the Supreme Court on Friday [8/20/2021] to overturn a lower court's order that it revive the Trump-era policy requiring asylum-seekers at the southern border to stay in Mexico while their applications are processed. The Department of Justice filed an application for an immediate stay of a judge's order to reinstate the "Remain in Mexico" policy. The order is set to go into effect after midnight Saturday. "It requires the government to abruptly reinstate a broad and controversial immigration enforcement program that has been formally suspended for seven months and largely dormant for nearly nine months before that," the department said in its brief on Friday. Illegals Streaming Across The Rio Grande Openly Thank Biden For Opening Border. Migrants fresh off the Rio Grande river expressing their support for President Biden and their dislike of President Trump. One of the migrants said that if Trump was still the president, he would not have made the journey to the United States. [Video clip] Judge Blocks Biden Administration From Limiting Arrests of Illegal Immigrants. President Joe Biden's administration cannot, for now, curtail arrests of illegal immigrants, a federal judge ruled on Thursday, delivering another setback to the White House's immigration agenda. U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton, a Trump nominee, granted a preliminary injunction sought by the states of Texas and Louisiana against two memorandums issued by Biden administration officials earlier this year that sought to "prioritize" certain categories of illegal immigrants. The case involves an immigration law provision that stipulates that illegal immigrants who had committed crimes shall be taken into federal custody after they're released, but the Biden administration's memos attempted to direct Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) resources to detain illegal aliens based on the nature of the crime. Texas and Louisiana argued that Biden's memo would prevent ICE agents from arresting and deporting other illegal aliens who had a criminal history. Red Cross Pamphlet Facilitates Illegal Immigration, Says Expert. Rancher John Sewell recently picked up a pamphlet that had fallen from the backpack of an illegal immigrant who was trespassing on his property near Uvalde, Texas — about 50 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. On one side is a map that details transport routes from Panama to the United States. It pinpoints in great detail where migrants can find shelter or get medical help along the way. The other side is full of useful information, in Spanish, including how to more safely travel through forests and jungles, find shelter, get medical help, and deal with immigration authorities. It was published by the Red Cross and is titled "Messages of Self-Help for Migrants." Biden is handling the border just as incompetently as he handled Afghanistan. President Joe Biden's claim that it was "highly unlikely" the Taliban would overrun and own the whole of Afghanistan will go down in history as one of the worst judgments in presidential history. But it was nothing new. Biden has been equally incompetent all along in his handling of the southern border — it just took a catastrophic failure like the one in Afghanistan to draw attention to how incompetently he is performing in other areas. Even worse, the danger from Biden's misjudgment at the border hits much closer to home. 'A Pitiful, Helpless Giant'. Virtually every week for the first six-and-a-half months of the new administration, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has solemnly explained, "The southern border is closed." Finally, on Thursday, he was overheard explaining to some border officials that the position was extremely serious and "unsustainable." As people from all over the world are now flooding in across the southern border at the rate of more than 200,000 a month, and border control officials are giving interviews every day in which they indiscriminately tell the media what a desperate and hopeless situation it is with tens of thousands of the incoming migrants being COVID-19 carriers who are then released into the United States, the only excuse White House press secretary Jen Psaki can offer is the administration came into office and found an immigration system that was "badly broken." In fact, the southern border was in better condition than it had been since the time of Presidents Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy. The Biden Administration immediately decided to stop construction of the wall that was within a couple of months of completion, not even bothering to paint it (which means it will have to be rebuilt altogether by the next administration), and to return to the "catch-and-release" policy that apprehends illegal migrants and then releases them into the country on the theory they will return later for a court date (which, in fact, almost never happens). Illegal Immigrant Parenting and Character Formation.
During presidential political campaigns, a frequent question posed is, "What will we do with millions of illegal immigrants already in America? And how about the thousands more
arriving constantly?" These are the wrong questions. The more precise and important questions are:
Afghanis face 14-step U.S. visa process as Taliban streams into Kabul. Illegals at the border? Come on in. Based on the news photos seen on Twitter, the Taliban is at the gates of Kabul, and the Saigon-style U.S. evacuations have begun. [...] According to the Wall Street Journal, getting a visa to the U.S., even in these conditions, is a 14-step process. [...] Fourteen steps? For people they presumably already know and have already worked with? Translators, spies, interpreters, other people who've taken risks for us? The time is short, the monsters are circling, and like everyone else, the visa applicants probably believed the U.S. intelligece assessments that Kabul would fall in 90 days, not 72 hours (or less). The people who need to get out number by one report 80,000 people if families are included, and according to this report from Politico, there had been no U.S. planning for them, despite having several months to do it from the date that Biden announced the pullout. [...] The bigger irony, though, is that as these bona fide refugees are gummed up in visa paperwork, the southern border is seeing a surge of people with no serious asylum cases into the country, no questions asked. Texas border town seeing 'record-breaking' numbers of stash houses of migrants evading Border Patrol. More than 5,000 illegal immigrants have been discovered inside stash houses around Laredo, Texas, since last fall, according to local authorities, an indication of how many are evading Border Patrol agents at the United States-Mexico border and getting away. Since President Joe Biden took office in January, the number of migrants encountered illegally coming across the border has reached a 21-year high. Laredo has seen an increase in the number of people who are sneaking past law enforcement on the border and making it to stash houses where smugglers hold their human cargo before moving them further into the country, according to Laredo Mayor Pete Saenz. "We continue to see a rise in the stash houses," Saenz, a Democrat, said in a phone call this week. "I'm worried. This is why I've been shouting and screaming to the federal government to send more resources, more Border Patrol." Reality Bites Biden's Policies. In Texas, U.S. District Court judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk dealt a blow to Biden's immigration policies. The Biden Administration had allowed everyone in, and then assert that the detention facilities were insufficient to hold them all and release them to go throughout the country, often without even a hearing date. The judge ordered the president to "enforce and implement [Migrant Protections Protocols, commonly referred to as 'Remain in Mexico'] in good faith until such a time as it has been lawfully rescinded in compliance with the [Administrative Procedure Act] and until such a time as the federal government has sufficient detention capacity to detain all aliens subject to mandatory detention under Section 1355 without releasing any aliens because of a lack of detention resources." An American apocalypse — why people of all classes, races are filled with fear. Americans are growing angrier by the day in a way different from prior sagebrush revolts such as the 1960s Silent Majority or Tea Party furor of over a decade ago. The rage at the current status quo this time is not just fueled by conservatives. For the first time in their lives, all Americans of all classes and races are starting to fear a self-created apocalypse that threatens their families' safety and the American way of life. The border is not just porous as in the pre-Trump past. It is nonexistent. Some 2 million people may cross illegally in the current fiscal year — with complete impunity. There is zero effort to stop them. Officials daily hector Americans to get vaccinated and tested for COVID. But they are mute about illegal entrants, some of them infected with the virus. DHS Uses Small Texas Airport to Disperse Illegal Immigrants Released from Detention. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is quietly using a small regional airport in central Texas to disperse large groups of illegal immigrants throughout the U.S. after releasing them from detention facilities in other parts of the state, city and federal sources confirm. Local authorities in the city where this is occurring, Abilene, are being kept in the dark and a federal lawmaker is demanding an end to the "reckless and irresponsible practice" as well as answers from DHS after a series of local news reports exposed the covert operation. Abilene is located about 180 miles west of Dallas and has a population of around 120,000. The area's airport is run by the city and its transportation director reveals in a news story that local officials are not aware of what exactly is going on with the illegal immigrant flights. The airport is only given 24 to 48 hours of notice before flights arrive, according to Abilene Director of Transportation Don Green, who verifies the planes are private charters from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the DHS agency in charge. The Texas news conglomerate, which also publishes reports in Spanish, writes that it "shot video of strange activity at the airport" and includes the footage on its website. It shows immigrants exiting unmarked planes, getting frisked, then boarding buses. Some footage includes buses arriving at the airport where immigrants are seen getting off and boarding planes to different parts of the U.S. Republican Jodey Arrington, who represents the area in the U.S. House, says the flights have been coming into Abilene Airport for some time and his office has contacted ICE for more information but the agency has essentially blown him off. The congressman also reveals that he has called numerous local officials and not one has been notified by the federal government of the covert ICE operations at Abilene Airport. That includes county commissioners, judges, city mayors and state legislators who are being kept in the dark by ICE and DHS about the activity. Border Patrol agents come under fire from Mexico while arresting illegal immigrants. Border Patrol agents arresting a group of illegal immigrants in southern California earlier this week say they came under gunfire from the Mexican side of the border. Agents were about 250 yards north of the border near Otay Mountain and were taking the group of migrants to vehicles when they heard the incoming gunfire. The agents and migrants all took cover and a Customs and Border Protection helicopter responded, but couldn't track anyone. Mexican authorities checked their side of the border and reported that witnesses saw people fleeing in a pickup truck and motorcycle. But police learned no more details. Tucker's Enemies. You don't need to know anything about Hungary to recognize that the people who've savaged Tucker Carlson all over the media for going there earlier this month are telling whoppers about it. Because what they say about Hungary in their rants about Tucker is intimately bound up with what they say in those very same rants about America. Quite simply, they hate the Orbán regime, and Tucker's defense of it, for the same reason they despise flyover Americans. To begin with, they hate them for their patriotism. [...] For these people, you see, "Christianity" and "Western civilization" are fighting words. To the progressive mind, it's fine to take seriously your identity as a Muslim or Hindu, but a Christian is by definition an oppressor; similarly, exalting Eastern cultures is dandy, but Western civilization? It's the seat of all oppression. Which brings us to the ultimate offense, in these people's eyes: opposition to open borders and mass immigration. Illegal immigration insanity, and how to stop it. It is madness for the United States not to control its borders and who lives here. [...] Everyone knows why it is happening. Democrats want to do to the rest of the country what they did to California. By flooding California with millions of poor people from third-world countries, Democrats were able to transform California from a vibrant two-party center-right state to single-party far-left Democrat rule of all three branches of government. To state the obvious, poor people need more government services and are more likely to vote for Democrats than Republicans. 'Massive Win' for Missouri AG Eric Schmitt in 'Remain in Mexico' Suit. While not every decision handed down by a federal judge on Friday is likely to be met with applause by those on the right, the one signed by Judge Matthew J. Kacsmaryk of the Northern District of Texas is a welcome one. In a 53-page opinion, Judge Kacsmaryk, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, upheld the "Migrant Protection Protocols" (MPP) put in place by the Department of Homeland Security during the Trump administration. Under the MPP, the "Remain in Mexico" policy returned some migrants to Mexico pending their removal proceedings. Remain-in-Mexico court ruling [is] a win for Texas, Missouri over Biden admin. A federal judge on Friday [8/13/2021] ordered the Biden administration to "enforce and implement" the Trump-era Remain-in-Mexico policy in response to a lawsuit from Texas and Missouri, which claimed that the administration's attempt to terminate the policy was illegal and harmful. The two Republican states had sought a preliminary injunction against the administration's June 1 memo formally ending the policy — officially called the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). They argued that the ending of the policy was in breach of the Administrative Procedures Act (APA). The ruling by Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, orders the Biden administration "to enforce and implement MPP in good faith" until it has been "lawfully rescinded" in compliance with the APA, and until the federal government has enough detention capacity to detail all migrants subject to mandatory detention. The Four Horsemen of the Biden Apocalypse. In the waning days of the Trump administration, the country was showing signs of economic improvement, people were feeling more confident about battling COVID, and the border was relatively secure as the wall was finally being constructed. [...] Biden inherited a secure border and immediately decided to destroy the progress of President Donald Trump and create an unmitigated disaster for Americans. The border wall was foolishly stopped, the policy of "catch and release" was reinstituted, the "Remain in Mexico" policy was ended, and illegal aliens were given an invitation to enter the United States. As a result, the flood of illegal aliens has been unprecedented. The number of new apprehensions is increasing each month at the border, reaching the highest level in 25 years in July. Over 210,000 illegal aliens were apprehended on the southern border last month. Simultaneously, an untold number of people have been entering the country without detection. DEA Officials [have been] Directed To Stop Saying 'Mexican Cartel'. Officials at the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have been directed by their headquarters to stop using the term "Mexican cartel" when speaking with the media, according to an email exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation from a government official. A portion of the email sent mid-July stated: "Also, we need to now avoid saying 'Mexican cartel' or discussing the Mexican government or LE cooperation with Mexico. Please continue using 'drug cartel,' TCO, DTO, etc." Top Biden Officials Visit Mexico to Discuss Illegal Migration While Kamala Harris Relegated to Phone Duty. Senior U.S. officials made a surprise visit to Mexico Tuesday to discuss bilateral cooperation on reducing illegal migrants crossing into the U.S. in record numbers. Notably missing from the trip was Vice President Kamala Harris, charged by President Joe Biden to work with Mexico and Central America on addressing alleged "root causes" driving migrants from Central America's Northern Triangle (NT) countries of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras to make the dangerous journey to the U.S. illegally. The White House did not provide a readout of the meeting until a day after the event. Americans and the rest of the world learned of the high-level event from social media posts by the Mexican foreign ministry highlighting the event as it was occurring. Border Patrol Encountered 212,000 Migrants in July, Breaking 21-Year Record. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced Thursday that border patrol agents apprehended over 212,000 undocumented migrants in July, breaking the 200,000 threshold for the first time in 21 years, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. During a stop at the border in Texas, Mayorkas commented that 212,672 migrants were encountered in July, a 13 percent increase over the influx of 188,000 migrants encountered in June. He acknowledged that the rapidly deteriorating situation at the border constitutes a crisis, calling it "one of the toughest challenges we face." 'Woke' nonsense is warping everyday life. Americans are growing angrier by the day, but in a way different from prior sagebrush revolts such as the 1960s Silent Majority or the Tea Party movement over a decade ago. The rage this time is not just fueled by conservatives. For the first time in their lives, Americans of all classes and races are starting to fear a self-created apocalypse that threatens their family's safety and the American way of life. The border is not just porous as in the pre-Trump past. It is arguably nonexistent. Some 2 million people may cross illegally in the current fiscal year, according to reports — with complete impunity. There is zero effort to stop them. Officials hector Americans daily to get vaccinated and tested for COVID-19. But they are mute about illegal entrants, some of them no doubt infected with the virus. Biden admin reportedly using Central Texas town as hub to distribute illegal immigrants into U.S.. Abilene, Texas, has emerged as the hub of a clandestine network that ships illegal immigrants across America, according to a new report. According to KTAB-TV, agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement bring illegal immigrants to Abilene Regional Airport, where they are flown to destinations across the U.S. The operation also reportedly involves planes that bring illegal immigrants to the airport. The passengers are then loaded onto buses that depart from the airport to points unknown, the outlet reported. American Armageddon. Americans are growing angrier by the day in a way different from prior sagebrush revolts such as the 1960s Silent Majority or Tea Party furor of over a decade ago. The rage at the current status quo this time is not just fueled by conservatives. For the first time in their lives, all Americans of all classes and races are starting to fear a self-created apocalypse that threatens their families' safety and the American way of life. The border is not just porous as in the pre-Trump past. It is nonexistent. Some 2 million people may cross illegally in the current fiscal year — with complete impunity. There is zero effort to stop them. Officials daily hector Americans to get vaccinated and tested for COVID. But they are mute about illegal entrants, some of them infected with the virus. Have we ever had a president who made no pretense about destroying federal immigration law and asking of Americans what he does not of illegal aliens? Biden admin working with 'Abolish ICE' activists to halt deportation of criminal aliens. More and more, President Joe Biden appears to be little more than a figurehead for the radical left, who helped elect him and appear to control his administration. The American people were sold a bill of goods about Biden being a middle-of-the-road candidate looking for common ground, but that is far from what they got. In decision after decision, the Biden administration is governing from the left, to the point where radical activists are steering policy. Look no further than U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, where an "Abolish ICE" activist intervened at the very top to get a temporary stay of deportation for an illegal immigrant with a criminal record, according to emails obtained by Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight." [Video clip] 'Our Hands Are Completely Tied': Border Patrol Union Chief's Take on Border Crisis. The crisis at the border is unlike anything the country has seen before, the head of the Border Patrol's labor union tells The Daily Signal. "This surge is bigger than we've ever seen before," Brandon Judd, a Border Patrol agent who is president of the National Border Patrol Council, serving in that capacity since March 2013, says in a video interview. "Again, the day-over-day increase, the week-over-week, the month-over-month." The situation facing the Border Patrol is a crisis, Judd says, who has served as one of its agents for over 22 years and argues that, because of Biden administration policies, "our hands are completely tied." [Video clip] Fed-up border patrol agents leak insane video from facility housing illegals near the border. Border agents are reportedly fed up with the handling of the border crisis by the Biden administration and are now leaking videos of just how overcrowded some of these facilities are near the border. Julio Rosas, from Town Hall, posted this stunning video on Twitter showing illegals crammed in a room so tight that they are literally sitting and laying body to body in the room: [Tweet] Biden Administration Orders ICE Agents Not to Arrest, Deport Victims of Crime. The Biden administration issued guidance on Aug. 11 instructing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to refrain from arresting and deporting illegal immigrants who were victims of crimes and those who are applying for victim-based immigration benefits. Described as a "victim-centered approach" to enforcement, the new policy will see ICE agents cease taking action against illegal immigrants who have applied for visas specifically offered to victims of human trafficking, domestic violence, child neglect, or abuse, according to the guidance issued by Acting ICE Director Tae Johnson. T-visas are designated for victims of human trafficking, and U-visas are meant for victims of violent crimes in the United States. The memo to ICE agents states that the goal of a victim-centered investigation and prosecution is to focus on minimizing any undue stress, harm, and trauma to the victim. Minorities drive population growth in US while number of white people declines for the first time, according to census report. For the first time in U.S history, the number of white people in the nation is expected to show a decline when racial breakdowns of the 2020 Census are reported this week. The data, set to be released on August 12, will reveal just how much the ethnic and racial make up of the nation has shifted over the past decade, according to preliminary data seen by The Washington Post. 'Twenty years ago if you told people this was going to be the case, they wouldn't have believed you,' said William Frey, demographer at the Brookings Institution. 'The country is changing dramatically.' Impeach Joe Biden. In just about seven months in office, Biden is surpassing what it took James Buchanan and Jimmy Carter — two of the most wretched presidents in U.S. history — to achieve in four years. [...] Biden is dissolving our southern border. Isn't that grounds for impeachment? Isn't it a president's duty to "protect and defend" the nation by preventing hordes of illegals from entering the country? But dereliction is Biden's lesser offense. His southern border policy flouts his duty as chief executive. Biden's defiance isn't the result of misplaced compassion or incompetence. Very naïve Americans persist in characterizing the border crisis as due to the Biden administration's bungling mismanagement. That's simply not true. As Tucker Carlson repeatedly points out, the southern border breakdown is premeditated. The White House and congressional Democrats know what they're doing and why. Washington Post: Biden's Migration Policy Is 'Politically Toxic'. President Joe Biden's border disaster is "politically toxic" for Democrats, according to the Washington Post's editorial board. [...] In reality, the semi-open border policy is powered by the self-serving and very deliberate political alliance of progressives and investors. That same alliance can also explain the Washington Post's narcissistic and minimal coverage of migration economics. But that rational alliance is dangerous to the Democratic Party's traditional goals because the public is deeply opposed to wealth-shifting, wage-cutting economic migration. One symptom is a deep internal split in the Democratic Party, which is largely hidden by the media's refusal to cover migration's pocketbook impact. Over 1K migrants [are] released daily into McAllen, Texas. Hotels are reportedly overwhelmed by the influx of migrants coming into the border town of McAllen, Texas. According to reports by Breitbart on Saturday, Catholic Charities Respite Center is struggling to deal with the massive numbers of migrants released into the town. Catholic Charities is the organization paying for the use of the hotels to quarantine over 1,000 COVID positive migrants outside border patrol's overflow facility. The group also welcomed migrants into the town in order to set up arrangements to travel across the U.S. Why aren't congressional Republicans impeaching Biden now? We all know that the Democrats fight dirty; always have, always will. The Republicans on the other hand just sit back and let them lie, cheat and steal as if it would be rude to call them out for their crimes. They seem to delight in being known as the polite party. As a result, the left is plowing them under with glee. They impeached President Trump twice over nothing, less than nothing. And now, as Biden is transforming the country and its demographics before the world's eyes by encouraging migrants from all over the world to illegally enter the U.S. over the southern border, the Republicans are as usual sitting back and doing nothing. Never mind that while the administration demands American citizens be vaxxed and masked, these migrants endure no such mandates. Some are spreading COVID and all are welcomed. [...] This is an obvious national security nightmare as thousands of those entering the country are criminals of the worst kinds. If this is not an impeachable offense what is? Why the Border Crisis Is Here to Stay. The federal government is aiding and abetting illegal immigration. That is a violation of federal law and thus another manifestation of Biden's disregard for his solemn duty to execute the laws faithfully, on unabashed display this week with his dictatorial eviction-moratorium decree, which he and his administration concede is unconstitutional. Immigration law commands that aliens who do not have a legal right to be present in the United States "shall be detained pending a final determination of credible fear of persecution and, if found not to have such a fear, until removed." That is, even those who credibly claim to fear persecution if returned from whence they came — the infinitesimally small percentage of legitimate refugees among the hordes now seeking entry — are supposed to be held in custody until that claim is fully adjudicated. But Biden has signaled that the border is open and that those who try to cross illegally stand an excellent chance of getting in and staying. Rhetorically, the president pretends the laws are being enforced, but he knows this is impossible in the conditions he has willfully created. Reaction to the article above: New York has billions for unemployed illegal aliens. As inflation in America soars, our federal and state governments are forcing America's squeezed taxpayers to fund people who refuse to work and illegal aliens. For months, now, we've been aware that people are still sucking up stimulus money but refusing to work despite the seemingly endless supply of available jobs. Now, in New York State, they'll be joined by illegal aliens who can apply to receive money from a $2.1 billion fund specifically set up to give taxpayer money to illegal aliens and "nontraditional workers." In this way, Democrat states contribute to America's dissolution as a sovereign nation. Let's start with the stimulus to put New York's policy into its proper perspective. When it comes to the stimulus, we all know that people are being paid not to work. [...] The problem is the mostly illegal and always perverse incentives that our federal and state governments are offering. They entice able-bodied people into sloth and dependency and burden the economy with illiterate, often sick immigrants who do not share American values and are here only to become future Democrat voters. Politico's U-Turn: 'Biden's Vision for the Border has Gone Bust'. That was fast. On Monday [8/2/2021], Politico declared that "the White House continues to keep the southern border largely closed during the pandemic." Yet by Thursday, Politico warned, "Biden's vision for the border has gone bust. But what's Plan B?" So why the dramatic change? Could the answer be Governor Ron DeSantis who on Wednesday gave a scorching reply to Joe Biden who criticized the Florida governor for his approach to the COVID-19 pandemic? Homeland Security Using COVID Order to Fly Illegal Immigrants Into Mexico's Interior. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Friday [8/6/2021] confirmed it is using Title 42 to fly illegal immigrants from the U.S.-Mexico border into Mexico's interior. Title 42 is the COVID-19-related rule created under the Trump administration that can be invoked to expel single adults and some families who crossed the border illegally, allowing for the rapid deportation of illegal aliens due to the pandemic. The rule was extended last week by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A spokesperson for the agency, which oversees Customs and Border Protection (CBP), told The Epoch Times that "as part of the United States' mitigation efforts in response to the rise in COVID-19 cases due to the Delta variant, the Department of Homeland Security has begun to transport individuals expelled under Title 42 by plane to the Mexican interior." The Editor says... Is There A Way For The States To Stop Biden's Border Madness? Just the other day, a van carrying illegal aliens crashed at high speeds, killing ten (and putting the U.S. on the hook for the medical care of the other 20). It is hardly a secret, but a well-known and established fact, that the Mexican drug cartels are profiting from the human trafficking that takes place on the border. "Stash houses" are being discovered and shut down with increasing frequency. [...] Even the American Civil Liberties Union — neither a paragon nor a repository of conservative values — cannot escape the truth that the illegal immigrants crossing our borders will be subjected to years of exploitation and indentured servitude. The ACLU rightly calls it what it is — slavery. WH Journos Continue to Smear DeSantis While Doocy Asks Real Questions. On Thursday afternoon [8/5/2021], the White House press corps kept up what's come off as a collusion effort with the Biden administration to malign Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) (and fellow Governor Greg Abbott of Texas) for his refusal to open the door to new Covid restrictions and lockdowns. Meanwhile, Fox's Peter Doocy did his own thing in asking real questions of Press Secretary Jen Psaki with Thursday's installment focusing on the viral comments from Congresswoman Cori Bush (D-MO) about defunding the police and Team Biden keeping out vaccinated foreigners while allowing unvaccinated illegal immigrants to flood the southern border. Rural Michigan Town Commission Rejects Illegal Alien Resettlement Center. A proposal to open a federally funded resettlement center to house illegal alien teenage boys in a small central Michigan city was dealt a severe setback on Wednesday [8/4/2021]. The Alma, Michigan, planning commission on Aug. 4 voted 4 [to] 2 to reject the conditional rezoning request of Bethany Christian Services (BCS), a Grand Rapids-based non-profit, to open what it said was "a small group shelter for short-term care of low-risk children between the ages of 12 and 17 until they can be reunited with their families or placed in foster care." The non-profit had announced plans to contract with the federal government to house and care for between 15 to 25 illegal immigrant youths at the proposed Alma facility, and expects the operation to create about 50 jobs. What is going on in this country? As the Biden administration continues to peel away the accomplishments of his predecessor, what I hear most from family, friends, and social media posters is a fear that Democrats have become power-mad with their recent ascendancy to a majority position in the House and Senate. They wonder if the current crop of radical officials is hell-bent on weakening, and ultimately destroying, the country that gave them those positions. Beginning with reversing President Trump's southern border policies, which has led to an invasion of illegal aliens unprecedented in our history, to the shutdown of the Keystone pipeline, taking away our energy independence, and several other policy changes that adversely affect our safety and our economy, one has to suspect the motives of those in charge. [...] Moreover, as we watch in horror as potentially millions of migrants from all over the world walk casually into our country, Democrats will look us in the face and say things are getting better. Hey Dems: Your Policies Led These 11 People to Pay $10K Each to Take a Death Trip Over the Border. Although Vice President Kamala Harris refuses to acknowledge it, we indeed have a humanitarian and criminal crisis along our southern border. Since the Biden administration hastily reversed Trump-era policies that had dramatically slowed the pace of illegal immigration, cartels have been working overtime to recoup the human smuggling income they lost during the Trump years. According to US Border Patrol sources, the going rate to be smuggled over the border is $10,000 a person, and there's no guarantee that the smuggled will arrive healthily or even arrive at all. Such was the case Wednesday morning when a van carrying 30 people (yes, you read that correctly) crashed near Encino, Texas, about 80 miles north of the US/Mexico border, killing 11 people and severely injuring 20 more. DPS: Crash leaves at least 10 possible migrants dead, multiple injured. A total of 10 people have been killed in a crash in Encino, Texas Wednesday afternoon [8/4/2021]. Over a dozen were injured. The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) originally told ValleyCentral at that 11 migrants died. An update by DPS at 6:45 p.m. stated that 10 people were confirmed to be dead, and are believed to be migrants. Wednesday night, DPS officials confirmed the driver and nine others were killed in the crash. Graphic: 10 Migrants Dead, 20 Injured in Smuggling Rollover Crash in Texas near Border. At least ten migrants are dead and 20 others injured in a rollover crash in Brooks County, Texas. The crash occurred on U.S. Highway 281 approximately 70 miles north of the Texas-Mexico border. Brooks County Sheriff Benny Martinez told Breitbart Texas that a human smuggling van overloaded crashed on Wednesday evening killing at least 10 migrants. He said approximately 20 others were transported to multiple area hospitals. The smugglers packed approximately 30 people into the single utility van. The Editor says... Amnesty Is Not Infrastructure. The $1.2 trillion bipartisan "infrastructure" deal merely paves the road for Democrats to pass the largest amnesty for illegal aliens in American history. Even absent this planned societal transformation, the bill is bad policy, as it is not focused on actual "hard" infrastructure. Congress should pump the brakes on this wasteful infrastructure package that will ensure amnesty for up to 22 million illegal aliens and put an end to the historic Biden border crisis. Number of migrants stopped at US-Mexico border in July surpasses 200K, reaches TWENTY-year high. Southern border apprehensions reached a 20-year high in the month of July, surpassing 200,000 to bring the year-to-date number to over 1 million, according to preliminary figures. U.S. authorities stopped approximately 210,000 at the U.S. Mexico border in July, bringing the total in 2021 up to around 1,111,000, or more than enough to populate the 10th most-populous city in the U.S., San Jose, Calif. There were just over 40,000 apprehensions in July 2020, and 81,000 in July 2019. In June 2021, 188,829 had been apprehended at the border. Federal judge blocks Texas governor's get-tough policy to block migrants from leaving border. A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order against Texas on Tuesday, blocking Gov. Greg Abbott's latest get-tough border policy aimed at preventing illegal immigrants from dispersing throughout his state. Judge Kathleen Cardone, a Bush appointee to the bench, said Texas was interfering with the way the federal government wanted to carry out its immigration policy. The two-page ruling is a victory for President Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, giving them a continued free hand in catching and releasing tens of thousands of illegal immigrants each month. Mr. Abbott had said he feared the migrants were spurring a COVID surge, and he flexed state powers to order troopers to block any non-law enforcement vehicle believed to be carrying migrants away from the border area. Joe Biden to Provide Illegals With Free Lawyers As They Try Invading the Southern Border. President Joe Biden is gearing up to use your tax dollars to send an army of lawyers to the southern border to help thousands of illegal aliens who are trying to enter the United States. You heard that right. Joe Biden wants to spend millions of dollars to help criminals who are illegally entering the United States with your money. Biden administration keeps processing DACA applications, despite judicial order to stop. How determined is the Biden administration to let illegal aliens in? Well, according to the latest report from Breitbart, determined enough to put in overtime to defy a judicial order. [...] It's a strange thing, seeing the federal government defy a judicial order in order to benefit foreign nationals illegally present in the country. They claim it's a "mistake," but that doesn't hold water — according to Robert Law at the Center for Immigration Studies, they actually put in overtime on the weekend, something they rarely do, all to get those nine cases through. Nearly a thousand illegal immigrants [are being] held under a bridge in Texas, video shows. New video shows nearly a thousand illegal immigrants being held by border patrol agents under a bridge near the southern border in Texas — with a top Republican calling it an "absolute catastrophe," as the Biden administration continues to take heat for the escalating migrant crisis. "An absolute catastrophe from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and House & Senate Democrats. #BidenBorderCrisis," GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) wrote on Twitter Sunday, linking to the footage posted by Bill Melugin of Fox News in Los Angeles. "NEW: This is the largest group of migrants we've ever seen being held by Border Patrol under Anzalduas Bridge in Mission, TX. Looks like it could be up to 1,000 people. We can only get a look at the area with our drone. There's a popular Rio Grande crossing area nearby," Melugin posted along with drone footage of the incident. Chip Roy: Monthly Illegal Immigration to U.S. Reached Highest Level Since 2000. Monthly illegal immigration to the United States reached the highest level last month since the year 2000, according to Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX). On Monday [8/2/2021], Roy posted online a breakdown of preliminary illegal immigration totals from July where he states that last month hit the highest levels since 2000 with more than 205,000 border crossers encountered by federal immigration officials and 37,400 known got-aways, that is, illegal aliens who successfully crossed the U.S.-Mexico border. The preliminary totals indicate that there have been at least 1.3 million border crossers encountered by federal immigration officials at the southern border for Fiscal Year 2021, which started October 1, 2020. No refunds, no returns. Stop using taxpayer money to give illegal immigrants free flights. Under the Biden administration, illegal immigration has reached a near-historic high, as more than 1 million people have flooded over the border in recent months. Unfortunately, this has included drug cartels, criminals, sex traffickers, and unaccompanied minors. Moreover, in the month of June, the number of attempted illegal immigrants crossing our southern border hit a 21-year high. President Joe Biden has insisted that the June spike is "seasonal," even though this is historically inaccurate due to temperature rise in the months of May and June that makes the journey perilous and dangerous. Furthermore, rather than discouraging these illegal crossings, the Biden administration is encouraging this activity with incentives such as free airline transportation for illegal immigrants that is subsidized by taxpayers. Aside from this obvious tax burden for the public, we are already dealing with other deleterious effects of unwise liberal policy. Why Can't Biden Stop This Invasion? America used to regard its southern border as sacrosanct and vulnerable, requiring constant vigilance and occasional action to secure. "Biden is conducting the border policy of a failed state." And how is President Joe Biden handling his sworn presidential duty to defend the states of the Union from invasion? This June, 188,800 illegals crossed into the United States — a rate of more than 6,000 a day. Nearly a million have arrived in the six months since Biden swore an oath to defend the Constitution that obligates him to protect the states against invasion. As for "getaways," migrants who enter illegally but evade contact with the Border Patrol and other U.S. authorities and then vanish into our midst, their numbers have been running at about 30,000 a month. If the present rate of illegal entries continues, Biden, by the end of his first year as President, will have failed to stop perhaps 2 million illegal aliens from having breached our southern border. Texas rancher on hook for $60k in damage from migrants: 'Sad day where we have to force president to act'. A Texas rancher lamented the thousands of dollars in damage to his property caused by illegal immigrants and admitted residents in his county don't feel safe anymore. Brent Smith told Fox News host Steve Doocy that he and his Kinney County neighbors can't enjoy their own backyards due to safety fears as President Joe Biden's immigration policies have led to a migrant "invasion" in the Texas locality. "We've had a lot of property damage. Our county's basically at the epicenter of an invasion, in my view," Smith told "Fox & Friends" on Monday. Biden wants taxpayers to pay for lawyers for illegal aliens. The Biden administration believes that border violators have more rights than American citizens. If you or I try to enter our homeland from a foreign country, we are required to provide a negative COVID test, but an illegal entrant on the southern border faces no such necessity. And receives complimentary transportation to the destination of his/her/their choice courtesy of our taxes, to boot. While Americans are guaranteed legal representation in criminal cases regardless of ability to pay, when it comes to civil court proceedings, we're all on our own. But if the Biden administration gets its plan passed, illegal aliens will benefit from taxpayer-funded lawyers in these civil cases, even though another law forbids such assistance. Report: Nearly 190K illegal immigrant encounters in June. Customs and Border Protection said they've accounted for nearly 190,000 migrants attempting to illegally cross the southwest border in June. CBP officials said they've seen a high number of distress from migrants abandoned by smugglers with no regard for human life amid intense heat. According to officials, the migrants are not warned of the tough conditions they will be forced to battle along their journey. "It is a very desolate land, a very arduous land, a land that is very hard to cross. It presents a lot of risks," said CBP spokesperson Carlos Rivera. "The temperature, it's hard to cross this land. They can suffer dehydration. They don't tell them how many days they could be in the desert either." Biden plans to give amnesty to 8 million at once in a spending bill. CDC Director lies about illegals with COV at the border and Biden plans to give amnesty and a path to citizenship to millions. If you want to see an even more out-of-control border, then wait until Joe Biden legalizes at least another 8 million illegals. That's the plan and he's calling it "immigration infrastructure." They will all vote for Democrats as soon as they can get to a poll, legally or not. [Video clip] They Aren't 'Migrants,' They Are Illegal Aliens. There was a time, believe it or not, when illegal aliens were called illegal aliens by everyone. Why? Because that's exactly what they are. But if you can control the language, you can eventually control everything. That's the left's strategy and it has worked. Now, even many so-called conservative media outlets use the terminology of the left while discussing the issue. Rather than reports about illegal aliens, the term leftists have declared to be unacceptable, you hear about "migrants" or the "migrant crisis." The thing is, these illegal aliens swarming the border are not migrants. Merriam-Webster, which surprisingly has not changed their definition to placate the left (at least not yet), defines migrant as, "a person who moves regularly in order to find work especially in harvesting crops." While that might be a tiny part of what is flooding the border, it is decidedly not the majority. The vast majority are coming here to stay, with no intention of getting right with the law, simply hoping the law will make them right retroactively. McAllen Mayor: Migrant Situation 'Getting Horrible,' We Can't Hold Them 'In One Place Unless They Want to Be'. On Friday's [7/30/2021] broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "America's Newsroom," McAllen, TX Mayor Javier Villalobos (R) stated that the migrant situation is "getting horrible," hotels are filling up, and migrants can't be held "in one place unless they want to be." Villalobos said the situation is "getting horrible, and we do need some help." The banality of our destructors. This is not another knock on Biden. And it is not really another knock on Kamala. While neither is a Rhodes scholar, they were smart enough to work the system to become the top man and top woman in the federal government. [...] Kamala's staff released its "U.S. Strategy for Addressing the Root Causes of Migration in Central America." The cover letter reveals that in school they wrote essays for length not communication. It begins, "In Central America, the root causes of migration run deep — and migration from the region has a direct impact on the United States. For that reason, our nation must consistently engage with the region to address the hardships that cause people to leave Central America and come to our border. [...]" Their use of "root causes" reminds me of what Mary Poppins said about supercalifragilisticexpialidocious: "If you say it loud enough, you'll always sound precocious." And that is how "root causes" works. Democrats are always looking for root causes. What they mean is substituting the actual solution (in this case, building a border wall) with what they really want to do (import Central American welfare recipients to overwhelm red states). But the poor quality of writing reveals the shortcomings of a staff made up of the deputies to the Obama administration. It is like a Xerox copy of a copy that's been Xeroxed 10 times before. Attorney General sues Abbott over ban on transporting COVID-infected migrants. Governor Abbott signed an order Wednesday [7/28/2021] banning ground transportation of migrants who "pose a risk of carrying COVID-19 into Texas communities." The purpose of such an order is to minimize the spread of COVID-19 in border communities due to the flood of migrants. "DPS is to stop & reroute, or impound any vehicle being used to transport illegal migrants who have been detained by Border Patrol." In order for the Border Patrol to ease the overcrowding of shelters along the border, they are releasing the illegal migrants into communities who are then bussed out to other places, either in Texas or other states. COVID-19 infected illegal migrants are making their way into communities and local officials are concerned about the public health of their residents. Without help from the federal government, Governor Abbott has little choice but to take matters into his own hands. So he did. Responding to pleas from local officials for help, like Hidalgo County Judge Richard Cortez, Abbott signed the ban on ground transportation. The negative reaction from critics, including Attorney General Merrick Garland, came quickly. Garland threatened to sue Abbott if he didn't rescind the order. The Editor says... Biden's Baleful Border Betrayal. Is there anything the left won't blame on its fantastical scapegoat, climate change? Don't bet on it. Its latest dodge is blaming the border crisis, which it created, on the climate crisis, which it invented. A Politico article is headlined, "It's Not a Border Crisis. It's a Climate Crisis." That's a convenient twofer. Never let an opportunity to blame a crisis on climate change go to waste. Well played. But to the left, I guess the border catastrophe isn't a crisis. How could you support open borders and think that the invasion by invitation is a crisis? How could America-resenting leftists regard the influx of millions of new Democrat voters a crisis? It would be like the Democrats being apoplectic over federal spending. Nope. Not gonna happen. If only these migrants knew that leftist policies are on the way to turning this country into a socialist state — you know, the kind they're escaping from. DOJ sues Texas to prevent troopers from stopping cars carrying [illegal im]migrants. Gov. Greg Abbott claims the Biden administration has caused a 'constitutional crisis' after the U.S. Justice Department sued Texas to prevent troopers from stopping cars carrying migrants. Abbott issued the statement after U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the Justice Department had filed a lawsuit over an executive order the governor signed on Wednesday. The Executive Order GA-37 tasked the Texas Department of Public Safety with stopping any vehicle suspected of carrying migrants and reroute them to their origin or impound them, claiming that they pose a risk of spreading the COVID-19. Kamala Harris: We Can't Secure The Border Until We Transform Central America Into A Paradise. In just five months, it seems Vice President Kamala Harris has managed to crack the code on illegal immigration. All we have to do to ensure that Central Americans stop illegally crossing our border is to transform the Northern Triangle countries of Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador into stable, prosperous democracies. That's it! That's the answer! Harris's office on Thursday [7/29/2021] released what it calls a "Root Causes Strategy" that lays out, in just 18 pages, what decades of policymakers and successive administrations have apparently missed: the reason so many Central Americans come to the United States illegally, it turns out, is because their countries are plagued by poverty, crime, corruption, and violence. Solve those problems and bang! — you solve illegal immigration. But seriously, the vice president's "root causes" document amounts to a heap of bureaucratic nonsense from an administration that has never taken illegal immigration seriously and whose own policies have turned the border crisis into a maelstrom of chaos. Thousands of Illegal Aliens Force Proxy Ports of Entry to Form Along Border. The singular focus is palpable. Once migrants leave the bus station in the Mexican border city of Acuña, it's a brief taxi ride or walk to the banks of the Rio Grande and to their ultimate goal — the United States. The taxi driver charges 50 pesos for the three-minute drive, double the regular fare, but no one quibbles. A rocky but well-worn path leads down to the shore, and the migrants walk briskly and with purpose. Many, especially the Haitians, pause to tear up and discard the paperwork they have with them — passports, visas, and identification cards are strewn all over the ground. They're told it's harder to be deported from the United States if they don't bring ID. Two elderly Mexican men are raking through the trash to find anything of value. To them, the passports are trash. They end up among the piles to be burned, as evidenced by the numerous heaps of ashes. Do We Have to Watch Their Wretched Movie All Over Again? Does the United States need 1 or 2 million new illegal immigrants? The Biden administration apparently thinks so. It has opened the southern border to tens of thousands of supposed asylum seekers; not just from Central America and Mexico but also from Haiti, the Middle East and Africa. The illegal immigrant population increased from 3.5 million in the 1990s to 8.4 million in 2000 and peaked at 12.2 million in 2007, then dropped and leveled off at 10.5 million in 2017, according to Pew Research. The 2007-08 recession reduced low-skill immigration over the southern border to zero. Trump administration agreements with Mexico kept it down. As a result, low-skill Americans saw greater percentage wage gains than the rich, even as immigrant inflow became increasingly high-skill. What was so terrible about that? War of words between Texas Gov. Abbott, AG Garland over migrant order. Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott accused the Biden administration Thursday [7/29/2021] of "jeopardizing the health and safety of Texans on a daily basis" after Attorney General Merrick Garland threatened a lawsuit over a new order allowing state troopers to stop and turn around vehicles suspected of carrying illegal immigrants. In a letter to Abbott, Garland claimed the governor's order was "dangerous" as well as "contrary to federal law and cannot be enforced." The attorney general also claimed the order was unconstitutional, as it "interferes with [federal] immigration enforcement" and obstructs the "release of individuals and the ability of those individuals to comply with federal immigration law." Garland concluded the letter by declaring that if Abbott did not rescind his order, the attorney general would "pursue all appropriate legal remedies to ensure that Texas does not interfere with the functions of the federal government." Nearly 90 Percent Of Illegal Immigrants Let In By Biden Have Refused To Report To ICE As Required. Nearly 90 percent of the 50,000 migrants released by the Biden administration have not yet reported to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement within the required 60-day window. While at least 27,000 of the illegal aliens still have time within their allotted 60 days to report to ICE, Axios reported that at least 16,000 of those whose window of time has expired have disregarded the honor system and "not showed up." "That's 2.4 no-shows for every one that has checked in," the report states. The Editor says... Sen. Cruz: 'No' to Pathway to Citizenship, Border is 'Not Remotely' Secure. When asked whether illegal aliens should be given a pathway to citizenship, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said, "No," and added that the U.S.-Mexico border is "not remotely" secure. At the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday [7/28/2021], CNS News asked the senator, "Should illegal aliens be given a pathway to citizenship?" Senator Cruz said, "No." In a follow-up question, CNS News asked, "And is our southwest border secure now?" "Not remotely," he said. "We're seeing a greater volume of illegal immigration than any time in the last 21 years." Migrants arrive to US border from all over the world: 'We are seeing a permanent change'. Migrants from countries far beyond Central America are increasingly arriving at the country's borders under the Biden administration, specifically to come across the U.S.-Mexico border illegally and risk getting caught. Since the start of the government's fiscal year in October 2020, Border Patrol agents nationwide have encountered significantly more people from the Caribbean, Central Europe, and South America than last year. Although migrants from Mexico and Central America make up roughly 75% of all illegal immigrants at the northern, southern, and coastal borders, far more people from other countries are arriving. Some have traveled thousands of miles and across oceans for the chance to get into the United States, predominantly by walking across the southern border. "We are seeing a permanent change in migration at the U.S.-Mexico border. And now it's expanding," said Theresa Cardinal Brown, managing director of immigration and cross-border policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington. "We're seeing huge increases in people, not from the Central American countries and not from Mexico, which means this is now just the migration route." Biden moves to speed up asylum claims in step toward overhaul of immigration system. The Biden administration plans to speed up how migrants who show up at the southern border can seek asylum. The plan, outlined in a statement from the White House this week, is to replace immigration judges with asylum officers to decide asylum claims. However, it does not deter migrants from traveling to and illegally crossing the border, as former President Donald Trump had sought to do. Such a move would be a step toward fulfilling President Joe Biden's campaign pledge to overhaul the U.S. immigration system, moving away from Trump administration policies meant to limit migration and toward measures to bring migrants in more quickly. Under the White House's blueprint to reform the asylum process, asylum officers within the Department of Homeland Security will not only continue the preliminary screenings, known as credible fear screenings, but also the officers will make the final decision to grant asylum or not. Whistleblowers say they were told to downplay Covid outbreak among migrant kids at shelter. Two more whistleblowers have come forward to allege that children were mistreated by contractors and senior federal employee managers at a Department Health and Human Services migrant shelter in Fort Bliss, Texas, earlier this year, and also say HHS told them to downplay hundreds of Covid infections among children held at the facility. "Covid was widespread among children and eventually spread to many employees. Hundreds of children contracted Covid in the overcrowded conditions. Adequate masks were not consistently provided to children, nor was their use consistently enforced," the whistleblowers, Arthur Pearlstein and Lauren Reinhold, said in a federal whistleblower complaint filed Wednesday [7/28/2021.] Texas Gov. Abbott clamps down on migrant transports to stop COVID-19 spread in communities. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an executive order restricting the transport of migrants in the Lone Star State after news that COVID-positive illegal immigrants were being dumped in a small border community. The Republican governor's mandate forbids any person other than a "federal, state, or local law-enforcement official" from moving migrants. The order also directs the Texas Department of Public Safety to "stop any" car or truck in violation of the order and "reroute such a vehicle back to its point of origin or a port of entry." DPS is further authorized to impound cars that refuse to be redirected. "The dramatic rise in unlawful border crossings has also led to a dramatic rise in COVID-19 cases among unlawful migrants who have made their way into our state, and we must do more to protect Texans from this virus and reduce the burden on our communities," Abbott said in a statement. "This Executive Order will reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure in our communities." Cruz: DHS blocking Cuban refugees from entering U.S. because they 'tend to vote Republican'. Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz blasted Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for saying that Cubans who come to the U.S. by sea will be turned away as his department releases thousands of illegal migrants, stopped at the southern border, into U.S. communities. According to a report on Tuesday, border patrol has released about 50,000 illegal immigrants without a date to appear in court, and only 13% of them have reported to an ICE office. In the past, migrants eligible for release into the U.S. after being caught at the border were assigned court dates. Former President Donald Trump reached an agreement with Mexico that required migrants awaiting their court hearings to remain in Mexico instead of the U.S. The Biden administration terminated that agreement. Greg Abbott Just Escalated His War on Illegal Immigration in a Huge Way. Gov. Greg Abbott is apparently throwing caution to the wind with his latest move to curb illegal immigration in his home state of Texas. Today, Abbott announced that enforcement agencies under his control, specifically the National Guard, will now begin arresting illegal immigrants crossing the border. This came on the heels of news that nearly 90% of the 50,000 illegal immigrants released by the Biden administration without a court date have even bothered to check in as required. Kamala's five-pronged strategy for Biden's border crisis and are you kidding me? [Scroll down] Not only is the strategy a rehash of what has been done for decades by past administrations with little success but Kamala escalates U.S. involvement in domestic policies of Northern Triangle countries. The 18-page report released divides the strategy into several pillars. Mind you, Kamala didn't call a press briefing and answer questions about her plan. She simply issued a statement. The Biden administration promised to be the most transparent of any administration ever before but the reality is that both she and Biden avoid the press as much as possible and limit opportunities for questions on just about anything — except maybe questions about Joe's ice cream treats. Texas police learn COVID-positive illegal immigrants sent to local hotels, after Whataburger encounter. Authorities in South Texas said Tuesday they've learned that illegal immigrants who have possibly tested positive for COVID-19 were being released from federal custody to a Catholic charity, which booked hotel rooms for them without notifying local officials. The La Joya Police Department said a patrol officer was waved down Monday by someone concerned about a group that appeared to be sick at a Whataburger fast food restaurant. The officer found a family inside who were coughing and sneezing and not adhering to health guidelines, including the wearing of masks, authorities said during a news conference. A manager told the officer they wanted the people to leave the establishment because they were making everyone inside "uneasy." When the officer approached the migrants, they said they had tested positive for the coronavirus and had been apprehended by Border Patrol agents several days prior before being released. Did the Texas Fleebagger Democrats Bring COVID to Washington From Biden's Unprotected Border? A little over a week ago my colleague Charlie Martin noted that the Democrat legislators who abandoned their jobs in Texas and flew on a posh private jet to Washington may have created a COVID super-spreader event. [...] Well, here's another piece to add to the Democrats' utterly irresponsible behavior: They went to the nation's capital from Texas, a border state that Biden has left totally undefended from the historic surge in illegal immigration across that border. We reported on Wednesday [7/28/2021] about the disturbing discovery of a COVID-positive family of illegals who were found at a Whataburger in La Joya, Texas. La Joya is a small town of just over 4,000. But in that town, at least one hotel is fully occupied with COVID-positive illegal migrants. According to Fox News, they are being housed and presumably fed on the federal dollar under contract with Catholic Charities. Catholic Charities is assisting people in breaking U.S. immigration law and now endangering an entire community with its management of that motel (and others?). The Editor says... 13 percent of released migrants appear at ICE offices, report says. Just 13 percent of the roughly 50,000 illegal immigrants released in the US without a court date — and ordered to report to Immigration and Customs Enforcement — have bothered to show up, a new report said. The illegal immigrants were given a list of addresses and contacts for ICE offices across the country and directed to report to one of them in the expectation that they would appear after reaching their destination to seek work permits, Axios reported on Tuesday [7/27/2021]. Just 6,700 migrants who arrived in the US between mid-March and mid-July showed up at ICE offices as of Monday, the report said, citing data from the Department of Homeland Security. Gov. Abbott: Biden Admin's Plan Is Catch and Release — Texas Plan Is Catch and Jail. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Sunday [7/25/2021] revealed that Texas was arresting and jailing illegal immigrants to combat the border crisis amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Abbott, highlighting that President Joe Biden and his administration's catch and release plan in place is "opening the floodgates for people who are coming from countries where there is an extremely low vaccination rate," told Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures" that Texas is catching and jailing illegal aliens. Unrestricted Mass Border Invasion Continues. The head for the Rio Grand Valley (RGV) sector of the U.S. Border Patrol, Brian Hastings, sent an alarming tweet message earlier today [7/25/2021]. According to Hastings: "It's the hottest part of the summer and apprehensions are skyrocketing! USBP Apprehensions surpassed the 1-million milestone in June. NOW, this week alone, #RGV has apprehended more than 20K illegally present migrants." One million illegal aliens walk into the country while Joe Biden claims to be concerned about the spread of COVID-19? The Editor says... Will Congress Now Try to 'Amnesty' Us? Congress may soon attempt to pass the biggest amnesty for illegal immigrants in a generation, even though recent polling overwhelmingly shows that most voters oppose amnesty. If lawmakers defy their constituents and pass the bill anyways, it'll worsen the crisis at the border — and make it even harder for Americans to find good jobs. Earlier this year, the White House proposed a sweeping immigration package that would have offered legal status, and eventually citizenship, to over 11 million people who crossed the border illegally or overstayed their visas. That plan would have also greatly expanded the number of legal foreign workers coming to the United States to fill jobs. On the Migrant Trail in Costa Rica. In a new video, the Center for Immigration Studies examines the conveyor belt carrying migrants from countries beyond Central America and Mexico — including from terrorist-plagued countries — to the U.S. border. A CIS expert documents smugglers as they move their cargo from northern Costa Rica across the border to Nicaragua, in one stage on an unimpeded migrant trail that is largely ignored by both the U.S. and local governments. The video follows up on the Center's prior four-part blog series on "extra-continental" alien smuggling: "A United Nations of Mass Illegal Immigration". [Video clip] Texas Begins Arresting Illegal Immigrants for Trespassing as Part of Gov. Greg Abbott's Border Security Plan. Authorities in Texas have begun arresting illegal immigrants along the U.S.-Mexico border on trespassing charges, according to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who has blamed the Biden administration for the surge in illegal immigration and has put in motion his own border security plan to crack down on illegal crossings. "Texas has begun arresting illegal immigrants who are trespassing in Texas or vandalizing property & fences. They are now being sent to this jail rather than being released like the Biden Admin. has been doing. We are adding more officers, National Guard & jails," Abbott said in a tweet Thursday [7/22/2021]. So far, at least 10 people have been jailed, with more on the way, authorities said Thursday. The detainees are being held at what had been an empty state prison in Dilley, Texas, about 100 miles north of the border city of Laredo, according to Robert Hurst, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The converted facility will be able to hold more than 950 people, he said. 'Not enough seats': Buses leaving Texas border town packed with illegal migrants. Buses leaving the Texas city at the heart of the border crisis are struggling to keep up with business — because they're full of illegal immigrants released into the US by overwhelmed Border Patrol agents, The Post has learned. Since the crisis erupted following President Biden's election, the four bus companies that operate out of the Central Station bus terminal in McAllen, Texas, have added as many as six daily routes, totaling 250 seats — but it's still not enough, City Manager Roy Rodriguez said. "We don't have enough private bus seats to get everyone out," Rodriguez told The [New York] Post. The demand for tickets out of town is at a "record" high, with "most, if not all" of the recent increase coming from migrants who were caught crossing the border illegally and released pending future court appearances, Rodriguez said, citing information pulled together by McAllen Transit Director Mario Delgado. Homeland Security Announces Border and Travel Restrictions for American Citizens Due to COVID, But Border Will Remain Wide Open for Illegal Aliens. They are rubbing it in our faces now. As CTH warned yesterday [7/20/2021], this is not hypocrisy — this is the United States Government, Department of Homeland Security, initiating an enhanced and intentional effort to antagonize lawful American people into a place of extreme anger. This is not hypocrisy. The Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) is now announcing enhanced travel restrictions for law-abiding Americans, blocking non-essential travel into Mexico and Canada. Simultaneous to this the same, ironically named, Homeland Security is facilitating a mass influx of illegal entry into the United States. Stay aware and evaluate this for what it is. This is an intentional effort to provoke American citizens. This is Alinsky methods deployed at a federal and institutional level. 'More and More Devastating': Congresswoman Details Third Trip to Border. Rep. Lauren Boebert just returned from another fact-finding trip to the southern border. [...] "I've gone three times now to the border, and each time, it's just more and more devastating, and the reality of this crisis is brought more into perspective of what's really taking place. I was down in McAllen, Texas, most recently with [former] President [Donald] Trump, and I saw groups of unaccompanied minors, dozens of groups of unaccompanied minors," Boebert says. "And these children didn't have adults with them because of the Biden policies, because [President Joe] Biden is encouraging families to self-separate. If your child is 6 years of age or under, then you could cross with them, but if they're older than that, then they can't cross with you. So, they have a better chance of crossing the border without their children, putting their children in the hands of the [human smuggling] cartel and risking their lives." Here's Joe Biden's report card after six months in the White House. The first marking period is over and President Biden's grades are coming in. [...] Within weeks of Biden's election victory, hundreds of Hondurans began organizing caravans to the US on social media following a pair of hurricanes that devastated the Central American country amid the continuing COVID-19 pandemic. And although Biden reversed course and said he wouldn't immediately undo Trump's asylum restrictions, just days before his inauguration, one Honduran migrant whose caravan was stopped at the Guatemalan border told CNN that the incoming president was "going to help all of us." "He's giving us 100 days to get to the US and give us legal ... papers, so we can get a better life for our kids, and for our families," the man added. Pausing a minute to consider the damage leftism does to America. We have an entire chapter in the United States Code dedicated to who may come into our country, along with the orderly procedures for letting those people in. What's clear under the law is that people don't just get to walk across the border. Except that's exactly what they're doing in Del Rio. The Democrats want compliant people who expect a corrupt government as long as they get their welfare payments. [Three video clips] While these people just walk right in, the Biden government is banning Cuban refugees escaping a true political dictatorship (these are people who know how bad socialism is) and Haitian refugees escaping civil collapse (these are people who succeed in America, putting the life to the Critical Race Theory claim about systemic racism). Another thing: The number of COVID cases along the border has surged by 900%. However, Obama's Health and Human Services Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, thinks you should be banned from working or having access to children if you refuse to get vaccinated — with a vaccine that the renegade Texas representatives revealed does not stop you from either catching or sharing the virus. CBP is Letting in Hundreds of Illegal Aliens Across Border, While Cubans Are Denied. We reported earlier on the massive surge of people at the border and how a huge number of the folks coming in are now positive for the Wuhan coronavirus, with a 900% surge in the last two weeks. You can see from these stunning videos from Fox LA's Bill Melugin, with people at the gates, how crazy it is. Hundreds just showing up and demanding to be let in. The kicker? Most of them were just let in. First, the CBP seemed to just be letting in the families, then they basically let everyone in, including the single adult males. Video shows hundreds of migrants try to force way past Texas border agents. Hundreds of migrants in Mexico converged at a gate on the border in Del Rio, Texas, Monday morning, and tried to force their way into the United States as Border Patrol agents and law enforcement struggled to hold the line. The violent confrontation began when US authorities, including state troopers, started admitting select migrant families through the gate and into the US. But soon, single adults and others not chosen attempted to force their way through the gate along with the families, making it hard for US officials to close the massive door behind each family. Eight federal agents and police officers pushed back on the gate to prevent the hundreds of people on the Mexican side from pushing their way through. The majority of migrants attempting to get through the gate were men, according to a video recording posted to Twitter amid the commotion. Joe Biden's Fears Are Expressed and They Show How Far Gone He Is. There are a few parts to this. To begin, Biden should be scared. Illegal immigration, contrary to the conventional wisdom at the time, ended up being a major factor in Donald Trump winning the GOP primary and ultimately the presidency. It's not 2008 anymore, where border issues don't really animate large swaths of voters. Illegal immigration may not be higher than the economy on the list of issues people care about, but for Republicans and many independents, it's still way up there. The more chaos at the border, the more incompetent the Democrats, including Joe Biden, look. That kind of failure will have a major impact in 2022 and 2024 if things don't change, and that's assuming it's not already too late to undo the damage caused. I'm of the mind that it likely is. He Doesn't Seem to Know It, But Joe Biden's Problems Are Mounting Fast. Joe Biden reaches the six-month mark of his presidency in a few days. It just seems much longer. [...] Take the Southern border. Please. In the last fiscal year under Donald Trump's "Stay in Mexico, Amigos" enforcement policies, border agents arrested 458,000 illegals, a 53 percent drop from the previous year. So far this fiscal year under Biden's Bienvenidos policy, agents have arrested more than one million illegals with still three more months to go. That's already the most since 2005. But you don't hear much about this border chaos, because Kamala Harris has already been there to straighten things out. Large demonstrations for "Libertad" broke out in Cuba this month. Once they're breathing freedom, emigres from there tend to vote Republican. So, the Biden administration told them not to come. DeSantis joined Abbott at the border for a security briefing, fleebagger responds. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis traveled to the Texas border to receive a security briefing with Governor Abbott on Saturday [7/17/2021]. In June, DeSantis responded to a plea issued from Abbott and Arizona Governor Ducey to all fifty governors — help border states secure the southern border. Some governors responded with pledges of sending National Guardsmen and law enforcement to work with agencies on the ground. DeSantis answered, "Florida has your back." According to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), Florida sent 58 personnel as well as a plane and five shallow water boats. Joe Biden wants amnesty, but US tally of illegal immigrants is deeply flawed. Having indulged an unhealthy interest in human migration for decades, I've been intrigued by how the number of illegal immigrants that journalists cite as living in the United States never changes. For years on end, I've read that the population of America's "undocumented" — a euphemism that seems to upbraid the receiving country's bureaucrats for failing to issue its woefully overlooked residents the proper papers — is 11 million. With the artificial precision that often attends these unverifiable figures, which derive their authority from sheer repetition, some journalists will quote the number as 11.3 million. Oh, there was a brief period about 15 years ago when that standard statistic rose to 13 million, but then it popped right back down to 11 again, without any headlines about a stampede of 2 million suddenly ploughing over the Mexican border in the southern direction. Analysis: Joe Biden's Open Border to Drive 1.7M Illegal Aliens to U.S. in 2021. President Joe Biden's deliberate open borders policy is expected to drive nearly 1.7 million illegal aliens to the United States-Mexico border by the end of 2021, new analysis projects. On Friday [7/16/2021], the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed that more than 178,000 border crossers were encountered by federal immigration officials in June along the border. This total does not include illegal aliens who successfully crossed into the U.S., undetected by federal immigration officials. Steven Kopits with Princeton Policy Advisors projects that Biden's "deliberate policy of holding the border open" will invite close to 1.7 million illegal aliens arriving at the border this calendar year — making it the worst year for illegal immigration in American history. Republicans sound alarm on Democrats' amnesty push for illegal immigrants in $3.5T budget package. Republicans are sounding the alarm over a Democratic push to include amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants in their budget reconciliation proposal, with the possibility that the effort could get through without the need for any Republican support. "Conservatives need to focus on a critical fight that hasn't gotten enough attention: the Democrats' effort to stuff amnesty into a reconciliation bill," Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., tweeted Tuesday as part of a lengthy thread. Democrats plan to to slip immigration changes into $3.5T budget bill, pass without GOP votes. Expected to be included in the Congressional Democrats' $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill is language that will advance the party's goals for immigration reform. Working with the White House, a group of top Capitol Hill Democrats are workshopping placing a handful of immigration measures into the spending bill that will likely be passed via budget reconciliation, that is with no Republican support. For years, efforts to reform the American immigration system have stalled as Democrats and Republicans fail to make any sort of meaningful bipartisan progress on the issue. Now, Democrats are opting to strategically move forward potentially without the need for bipartisan agreement. As Democrats in Washington scramble to complete the full version of the so-called bipartisan infrastructure bill ahead of an initial procedural vote next Wednesday, details of the massive spending plan meant to accompany the infrastructure legislation are nowhere near fleshed-out, including how they plan to insert immigration policy into a spending bill. Migrant arrests at southern border rose yet again in June to 188,000, topping 1M this fiscal year. There were nearly 190,000 migrant encounters at the southern border in June, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced Friday — yet another rise in what were already sky-high border numbers, and bringing the total of encounters in fiscal year (FY) 2021 to more than 1 million. CBP said that 188,829 migrants were encountered at the southern border, an increase from the 180,034 encountered in May. It is also a sharp rise since when President Biden took office — there were 78,442 encounters in January. Big surprise: Migrants released with instructions to report to ICE within 60 days aren't showing up. Usually when a migrant is picked up at the border and makes a claim of asylum, the border patrol processes those claims and gives the migrants a "notice to appear" in a specific court at a specific time. But back in April the Associated Press reported that because of the big surge of migrants at the border, many were being released into the interior of the country with just an instruction which told them to report to an ICE facility within 60 days for processing: [...] So the idea was to clear out the border holding facilities as quickly as possible because they were overloaded. Instead of doing the time consuming work to process migrants on site, they would get the instructions about showing up at an ICE facility within 60 days at which point they would be processed and receive the usual notice to appear in court. It has been more than 60 days since this process began so how do you imagine it's going? If you guessed that it has been a complete failure, you're smarter than the Biden administration. Almost a million migrants have apprehended at the border since January. From January to May, 711,784 migrants were encountered by Customs and Border Protection at the southern border — five times the amount during the same period in 2020 — and the Biden administration is on track to encounter 1 million by the end of July. CBP's latest data, released in June, show that there were 180,034 encounters with illegal crossers in May, the highest of any month in the last 20 years. The spike in migration under President Joe Biden's administration continues to grow with no signs of it coming to a stop any time soon. The numbers for June have not yet been updated on CBP's webpage, but pictures emerge at least weekly of groups of hundreds of migrants turning themselves over to U.S. immigration authorities at the U.S.-Mexico border. Biden is using the military to ship illegal aliens across America. Tucker Carlson opened his show Wednesday night [7/14/2021] by announcing that he'd gotten information from a whistleblower about Biden's latest activity to bring illegal aliens into America. It turns out that the military has been involved in secretly transporting illegal aliens (or as the military coyly calls them, "undocumented non-citizens") to resettle them in America's heartland. The administration is acting illegally and there's a good argument every person involved — the President, Vice President, congressional Democrats, and the military officers signing off on this scheme — must be impeached. Immigration 'amnesty' could be career-ending vote for Senate Democrats: Poll. As the Senate, nudged along by West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, moves to include immigration for millions of illegal immigrants in an infrastructure bill, new polling shows it could be a career killer for several Democrats up for reelection next year. Data provided to Secrets by the Federation for American Immigration Reform found most blame President Joe Biden for the border crisis and that a large majority believes that providing a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants in the legislation would only make the crisis worse. One early draft of the infrastructure bill would put $150 billion to immigration policies, including the path to citizenship. Nearly 190,000 border crossings seen in June, busts Biden's claim it's seasonal. U.S. border officials are expected to reveal soon that they encountered nearly 190,000 illegal immigrants in June, a 450% explosion over last June and the latest sign that President Joe Biden's open-door policy has completely redrawn migration patterns. Unofficial and preliminary calculations suggest that the number will be 188,000, said a knowledgeable source. At such a high level, it would show the flaw in the claims by the administration and the media that the Biden surge so far has been simply a seasonal trend that would stall in hot months. Typically in summer, numbers do decline on the southern border. Last June, the total was 33,000. In June 2019, it was 104,311 and in 2018, 43,189. The June 2020 numbers were affected by the COVID-19 rules barring entry and former President Donald Trump's diplomatic success in getting Mexico to hold migrants pending approval of their applications to enter the United States. That all changed when Biden came to office. In May, there were 180,034 arrests, a 20-year high. It turns out Democrats want an open border only as to some refugees. If there's one policy most closely associated with the Biden administration, it has to be the illegal open border policy. President Trump turned over to Biden a border that was remarkably well-controlled. The day after Biden entered the White House, that was all gone. We now effectively have no border and, if Americans dismayed by this fact complain, they're told they're cruel people who want the Latin Americans, sex offenders, and Islamists pouring unchecked over the border to suffer from poverty in their native countries. On Tuesday [7/13/2021], however, the Biden administration announced that there are limits to its welcome mat. If you're Cuban or Haitian, don't come here. Catch-and-release migrants defy Homeland Security orders to check in. Few illegal immigrants caught and released at the border on promises of turning themselves in to ICE later are showing up, defying Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' assurances of a "high rate" of compliance and leaving the department with few options for tracking down the migrants. At best, the appearance rate is less than 25%, according to data from members of Congress and from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It may be much lower. That means thousands of illegal immigrants have defied their first orders from the Homeland Security Department and become fugitives. That bodes ill for the chances of getting them to comply with their court dates and, if they lose their cases, their deportations. The Democrats' Topsy-Turvy Spin Machine. The guessing game of how long the levitation of the Biden presidency can be taken seriously seems to be entering a new phase. The deluge of illegal entries into the United States at the southern border is now running at a rate of closer to 3 million than 2 million a year and yet we still see and hear the bobbling talking head of the Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas assuring us, "The southern border is closed." The media has provided almost no coverage of this calamitous invasion. [...] The oceanic influx of unskilled labor at the southern border cannot fail to aggravate unemployment and depress the incomes for the vulnerable sectors of what, under President Trump, was a fully employed workforce. Border Situation 'Worst I've Ever Seen': Rep. Williams. The crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border has deteriorated sharply amid concerns the Biden administration will end a key Trump-era provision that enables speedy expulsion of illegal immigrants, Republican lawmakers told The Epoch Times. The number of illegal immigrant captures at the border has soared in recent months, since President Joe Biden was sworn in. The United States is spending billions of dollars to deal with the repercussions, including hundreds of millions to shelter unaccompanied minors. More smuggling is happening, counties are running out of jail space, and deaths are rising as the hot summer weather kicks in. "It's the worst I've ever seen it," Rep. Roger Williams (R-Texas), who visited the border last month with former President Donald Trump, told The Epoch Times. Should Congress Legalize Illegal Aliens Through a Budget Process? Consider These 7 Points. Congressional Democrats are considering breaking budget rules to enact controversial changes to immigration law. President Joe Biden has endorsed using the so-called budget reconciliation process to enact his multitrillion spending agenda, which would allow Congress to pass spending and tax increases along party lines, bypassing the filibuster in the evenly divided Senate. But Democrats threaten to oppose any reconciliation bill that doesn't include a special pathway to full citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants. However, these changes in immigration policy likely would run afoul of the rules that govern what lawmakers may include in a budget reconciliation bill. Soldier's sham marriage conviction exposes immigration fraud ring in military. An Army soldier's conviction on marriage fraud charges last week pulled the curtain back on what experts say is a problem within the military, with troops entering into sham unions with immigrants who are in the country illegally in order to earn more money for themselves and to help the migrants stay in the country. Samuel Manu Agyapong, a Ghanaian immigrant who'd already won U.S. citizenship for himself, was found guilty of helping an undocumented immigrant — a fellow Ghanaian — through a bogus marriage. Barbara Oppong parlayed it into a pathway to citizenship, while Agyapong got a significant boost in pay for being married. Radical leftists call for armed confrontation for any state that enforces borders. As states pursue rule of law at the border amid a record surge of illegal migrants and Biden administration inaction, open border activists are getting busy. [...] [T]hey don't want protection of the U.S. border from migrant surges, they want the feds to turn their guns on states that seek to do the job the feds won't do. Which is pretty twisted logic. It's almost as if the cartels have donned activist skin suits and advocated their invader agenda. LULAC's Wikipedia page notes that the group, like the Cesar Chavez United Farmworkers, originally opposed illegal immigration. Now they've switched, and seem to be doing the cartels' bidding. Something funny happened to them. What's more, the rage of these open-border activists — who are very well funded, by the way — likely comes with political muscle, an 'or else' to Joe, if he doesn't comply with their demands. Open Border Activists Demand White House Confront The "Insurrection of Rebellious States". This was so predictable CTH wrote about it [elsewhere]. Several states responded to the call from Texas Governor Greg Abbott asking for allied states to send law enforcement and national guard to secure the southern border after the Biden administration actively, intentionally and purposefully works to keep it open. With the potential for cooperation from states, what I call "extreme federalism", to secure the border regardless of the Federal inaction, an assembly of various activist groups are petitioning the White House to confront the states with direct military action. The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), a far-left communist advance group, is asking Joe Biden to fight the state effort with all measures possible, including armed confrontation. The Editor says... Tensions Run High on Border as Crisis Worsens. Once a relatively quiet region for illegal border crossings, the Del Rio Sector is now the second busiest, after the Rio Grande Valley in south Texas. "We've seen a tremendous increase. So far this fiscal year, today, we've caught 144,000 people in the Del Rio sector," Sector Chief Austin Skero said on June 24. Agents in the sector have also had a 1,400 percent increase in arrests of illegal aliens with sex-related criminal convictions so far this fiscal year, compared to the same period last year, Skero said. A large number of the detainees had convictions for crimes involving a minor. "There isn't a day that goes by that I don't read a paper or a report from my agents that talks about criminal aliens, sexual offenders that they've apprehended out there," newly appointed Acting Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz said at an event in Del Rio on June 24. Ohio makes it six states sending military and police to respond to Biden border crisis. Ohio will send National Guard members to the U.S.-Mexico border to help federal and local law enforcement respond to sustained high levels of illegal immigration. The announcement over the weekend from Republican Gov. Mike DeWine makes it the sixth state that has volunteered its police officers or National Guard following a request from Republican Govs. Greg Abbott of Texas and Doug Ducey of Arizona in June. All six volunteering states have Republican governors. Ohio will send 185 members of its Army National Guard to the southern border, joining the ranks of Arkansas and South Dakota, which each opted to send Guard members instead of law enforcement. WaPo/ABC Poll: Majority of Americans Disapprove of Joe Biden's Open Border. A majority of American adults disapprove of President Joe Biden's open United States-Mexico border where border crossers are regularly apprehended, briefly detained, and released into the U.S. interior, a new poll reveals. A Washington Post/ABC News poll finds that about 51 percent of Americans disapprove of Biden's handling of "the immigration situation at the U.S.-Mexico border" where illegal immigration is set for one of the worst years in American history. Meanwhile, only 33 percent of Americans approve of Biden's handling of illegal immigration at the southern border. Biden's Fourth of July: DHS Promises to Bring Deported Illegal Aliens Back to U.S.. President Joe Biden's administration has announced a federal initiative to bring back to the United States illegal aliens who were deported for committing crimes but who are the relatives of American service members, as well as Veterans and service members who were deported after committing crimes. On July 4th weekend, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas revealed the details of the initiative designed to bring back to the U.S. illegal alien service members, their illegal alien relatives, and Veterans who were deported after having committed crimes. Biden Administration Announces Campaign to Make it Easier for Millions of Immigrants to Become Citizens. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced Friday that the Biden administration is launching an inter-agency effort to make millions of immigrants living in the United States citizens. President Joe Biden asked federal agencies to work on "welcoming strategies that promote integration, inclusion, and citizenship," through an executive order. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced Friday [7/2/2021] the agency's plan to "breaking down barriers to U.S. citizenship" and promote naturalization for immigrants who are eligible. The federal campaign will actively recruit eligible immigrants and eliminate many naturalization rules that the Trump administration put in place so more people can apply. Broken system: Deportation backlog now nearly three years for average case. More than 1.3 million people are currently awaiting deportation decisions in immigration courts, and the average case has been pending for nearly three years, according to new data that sheds light on just how broken the U.S. immigration system has become. A decade ago just 300,000 cases were pending, and even three years ago it was fewer than 770,000 cases, meaning the government has netted more than 550,000 cases on its docket since 2018, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. What the Media Don't Tell You About Biden's Illegal Immigration Crisis. Once upon a time, President Joe Biden put Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of the border crisis — what the Biden administration is calling a "challenge." Back during the Democratic presidential debates, Biden said he would make sure a surge would happen at the border. As of today, Border Patrol has intercepted nearly 180,000 people trying to illegally cross the border, not to mention the many others who got away. Meanwhile, the mayor of Del Rio, Texas, is pleading with the Biden administration to put a halt to releasing immigrants in their city, saying they don't have the resources to house and accommodate migrants. In this episode, Larry suggests that this crisis would have ended yesterday if illegal aliens-turned-citizens-turned-voters pulled the lever overwhelmingly for Republicans. [Video clip] Biden Admin To Launch Government-Wide Effort To Make Up To 9 Million Immigrants Citizens. The Biden administration is expected to launch a government-wide effort to make up to 9 million immigrants living in the U.S. citizens, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced Friday [7/2/2021]. President Joe Biden asked federal agencies to work on "welcoming strategies that promote integration, inclusion, and citizenship," through an executive order, according to CNN. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced the agency's plan to "breaking down barriers to U.S. citizenship" and promote naturalization for immigrants who are eligible.

Report: Biden Plots End to Border Controls Despite Their Popularity. President Joe Biden is plotting an end to border controls that experts have said have kept a lid on a wave of unprecedented illegal immigration. The border controls, polls have shown, are overwhelmingly popular with Americans. Biden administration officials and those familiar with the plans told the Wall Street Journal that the president is planning to end use of the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) Title 42 order for migrant families arriving at the United States-Mexico border while keeping it in place, for the time being, for single adult border crossers. Homan: Biden Is the 'First President in the History of This Nation That's Actively Facilitating Illegal Immigration'. Friday [6/25/2021] on FNC's "Hannity," former ICE Director Tom Homan, now a Fox News contributor, slammed the Biden administration on the heels of Vice President Kamala Harris' trip to El Paso. Homan told fill-in host Jesse Watters that Harris should have "been embarrassed" by the circumstances at the U.S.-Mexico border. [Video clip] "[I] might hear you mention Kamala Harris at El Paso border today," he said. "What a shame. She should have been embarrassed. She's going to go down there and see the men and women who she called Nazis. She's going to see the men and women she said run concentration camps. She claimed the Border Patrol treated these illegal immigrants with zero compassion and humanity. And one thing she didn't do while she was down there, why don't you talk to the men and women wearing their green uniform, ask them, does the wall work? And they would have said, yes, it does work. It stops drugs. It stops illegal immigration. Why did you stop building it?" A Constitutional Approach to the Border Crisis. Texas is transferring $250 million from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice to a disaster fund to build its own wall along the border with Mexico. While technically this is the federal government's responsibility, if the federal government is unwilling or unable to act, the Founding Fathers would have been more than enthusiastic to see local governments taking this duty up for themselves. The Founders greatly distrusted a strong centralized government, as evidenced by the weak Articles of Confederation that they wrote to organize the country. Florida announced that it will send law enforcement to Texas and Arizona to assist along the border. Nebraska announced that it would do the same. Have some states found a way around bumbling federal policies? It seems so. Are SCOTUS's three remaining reliable liberals clueless on immigration? "[W]hy would Congress want to deny a bond hearing to individuals who reasonably fear persecution or torture, and who, as a result, face proceedings that may last for many months or years (while their withholding-only proceedings wend their way toward completion)? I can find no satisfactory answer to this question." A seemingly perplexed Justice Stephen Breyer wrote this (and was predictably joined in bewilderment by the Court's two other liberal justices, Sotomayor and Kagan) in his June 29 dissenting opinion in Johnson v. Guzman Chavez, the recent case in which the majority found that, in layman's terms, deported aliens who re-enter the U.S. illegally are not entitled to a bond hearing while they await their current adjudication. Hundreds of Migrant Families Released into South Texas After Trump Visit. The day after former President Donald Trump's visit to the region, dozens of Border Patrol-contracted vans and buses carrying recently released migrants arrived at the downtown offices of Catholic Charities Respite Center. According to a law enforcement source within Customs and Border Protection, more than 5,300 migrants were apprehended on Wednesday nationwide. More than 2,000 of those occurred in the Rio Grande Valley on the same day former President Trump toured the area. Health and Human Services reported 471 unaccompanied migrant children were part of Wednesday's total. ICE Agents, Sheriffs Sue Biden Over 'Unlawful' Deportation Policy. A group of sheriffs and active Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers have filed suit against the Biden administration for its "unlawful and unconstitutional" requirements regarding the arrest and deportation of illegal aliens. The plaintiffs are seeking an injunction to a Feb. 18 memorandum that they say "commands ICE officers to violate the specific terms of federal immigration law." "The relief we are seeking is that the court order ICE and the Department of Homeland Security to simply follow the law," lead attorney Kris Kobach said after filing the suit at the Galveston federal courthouse on July 1. "To follow the specific laws ... that require them to detain and deport certain illegal aliens." The lawsuit alleges that "many extremely dangerous illegal aliens who would have been detained prior to the February 18 Memorandum are now not being detained — against the wishes of the ICE officers seeking to detain them, and in violation of federal statutes requiring their detention and/or removal." Report: Biden's DHS May Release 100K More Migrants into the U.S. Annually. President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is weighing a plan to release 100,000 more migrants into the United States interior annually, in addition to the thousands released monthly from DHS custody. The proposed DHS plan, first reported by Axios, would expand on the Biden administration's massive Catch and Release operation where border crossers are routinely put into DHS facilities or migrant hotels for a few days before being bused or flown into the U.S. interior. Jim Hogg County In Texas Busts a Fake FedEx Truck, Operated by the Cartel, Filled With Illegals. Jim Hogg County Sheriff's Department deputies are being overrun with cartel smuggling operations, officials told 3News. Recently, deputies followed what they thought was a FedEx truck through Hebbronville. Video shows that once the truck stops, it was not driving around delivering packages but instead was loaded down with over a dozen immigrants. Unfortunately, the chief deputy was standing in their way when they piled out of the van. [Video clip] Trump Cheered at Hannity Border Town Hall and Drops Hint About Future Run. President Donald Trump and Gov. Greg Abbott both appeared on Sean Hannity's show tonight in a town hall about the border. It was an event with an extremely enthusiastic and favorable crowd for Trump. [Tweet] Hannity started it by comparing and contrasting how Trump got the border in hand. How Trump got the number of people illegally entering to fall because of all his efforts including the Remain in Mexico policy, building 500 miles of new border wall, and discouraging people from coming. As opposed to the Biden/Harris team whose policies encouraged people to come illegally. Biden reversed almost all of Trump's border "fixes." So naturally, suddenly, the border became a complete mess, as Hannity noted, with Biden literally telling migrants to "surge the border." Tucker Carlson Outlines the Biden Administration Logistic Program to Facilitate the Southern Border Invasion. Beyond the insanity of the U.S. southern border being unsecured, many people wonder how this entire logistical process is funded. The answer is quite simple; within every federal spending and appropriation bill there are carve-outs for various segments of the process. The Department of Homeland Security and Department of Health and Human Services receive hundreds of billions in supplemental appropriation funding from within each federal spending package. Each of the COVID relief bills contained money to facilitate various elements of this process. Federal housing grants, food assistance programs, education funding, employment and income assistance, all of it, every single spending package, contains funding mechanisms to support the border invasion. Establishment Media Admits 'Biden Has Struggled to Find Footing' on Border Crisis as Trump Arrives to Inspect Wall. The "Biden administration has... struggled to find its footing" on the border crisis, establishment media admitted Wednesday [6/30/2021]. "In the early months of his presidency, Biden's team stumbled with a surge of unaccompanied minors crossing the border, as shelters became overwhelmed and officials strained to process the influx of children," the Washington Post reported. The Post then slammed the administration for not rescinding "the Trump-era public health rule that allows the United States to expel migrants, including people seeking asylum, during the coronavirus pandemic." But the Post did defend President Joe Biden's approach to immigration, claiming, "His administration canceled construction contracts for further walls at the border." The Top Ten Pending Eruptions. [#4] The border crises/invasion: Of course all will be well now that Kamala has visited El Paso, but we don't see a lot of hope here. I'm thrilled that Texas has taken this bull by its horns and pledged to finish its part of the wall. I'm pleased to see that both Florida and Nebraska are sending troops down there to help out. But the solution we were well on way to has vanished. The situation is deadly with summer scorching the deserts; cartels attacking ranch owners on the border; and drugs, disease, and criminals flooding in. Texas Gov. Abbott to visit border with Trump as he [Trump — not Abbott] becomes biggest thorn in Biden's side. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is vowing to do what he claims "the Biden administration is refusing to do" when it comes to border security. Taking it one step forward, this week the two-term Republican governor will tour the U.S.-Mexican border with former President Trump as he pledges to continue building a border wall. Wednesday's encounter with Trump along the border, which will likely grab plenty of coverage from coast to coast, comes after Abbott in recent weeks has also signed bills restricting the teaching of critical race theory in his state and allowing Texas to carry weapons without a license. It also comes two weeks before the state legislature — under orders from the governor — will return for a special session to pass legislation tightening voting access rules, another GOP priority. Greg Abbott Executes a Hilarious but Completely Necessary Troll Using Biden's 'Stimulus' Money. With the Biden administration abdicating its duty to enforce border laws, causing a massive surge in illegal immigration, Texas is taking matters into its own hands. But it's where Abbott is getting the funding that is going to turn heads. [Tweet] The money in Biden's plan was purposely void of strings attached because the game was to shower blue states with money, allowing them to bail out their mismanaged budgets and perpetuate left-wing priorities. Abbott has turned that on its head, instead, using a significant portion of the money given to Texas to help build a border wall in his state. Supreme Court says [there is] no right to [a] hearing for some immigrants. The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday [6/29/2021] that the government can indefinitely detain certain immigrants who say they will face persecution or torture if they are deported to their native countries. Over the dissent of three liberal justices, the court held 6-3 that the immigrants are not entitled to a hearing about whether they should be released while the government evaluates their claims. Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the court that "those aliens are not entitled to a bond hearing." Already Deported Illegal Aliens Have No Right to Seek Release on Bond, Supreme Court Rules. The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that previously deported illegal aliens again facing deportation who claim a fear of persecution if they are removed to their country of origin may be indefinitely detained by the government. Over the dissent of its three Democrat-appointed justices, the high court found that those noncitizens aren't entitled to a hearing about whether they should be released while the government processes their claims. Justice Samuel Alito wrote the court's opinion in Johnson v. Guzman Sanchez, which was made public on June 29. Oral arguments took place telephonically on Jan. 11. Before that, both the trial court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit ruled against the government. Not allowing people who have already been deported to seek release on bond makes sense, Alito wrote in the court's opinion. Let Me Help You with That Root Cause Analysis, Kamala. It doesn't take formal training in problem solving to know when you have a crisis which is recognized as such by everyone except the Biden administration and the Democrats with bylines, also known as the media. It is incumbent to first go observe the problem. In this case, our much smarter Vice President chose to visit Mexico and Guatemala. I am fairly sure you can't see McAllen from there. So, the VP explained to the inquiring minds of the media that she is only now visiting the border (sort of) because this was the second step in her process to see the effects, with the first being the trip to Mexico and Guatemala for the old root cause determination. Yet, before even reaching a consensus regarding those root causes, Harris told Guatemalans, "Don't come" to the United States. I don't think she meant it. She got some support for her methods from Texas congresswoman Victoria Escobar, who welcomed Harris with, "Welcome to my home. Welcome to the new Ellis Island." Rep. Chip Roy wonders what Texas gains from being in 'a union that won't secure it's own border'. Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy raised concerns over why his state should remain in the union if it will not receive support to secure the southern border during a recent interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation. "Every state in the union should send resources to the state of Texas to help us secure the border," he told the DCNF, "because [...] Texas is going to secure this border if the United States of America is failing to uphold its end of the bargain of our having a union." "I've got people in Texas that are starting to rattle about 'what are we getting out of this equation? What are we getting out of being part of a union that won't secure its own border?'" Roy told the DCNF. "You know what — it's our border, too." Roy emphasized how Texas "has a duty as a state, as a sovereign people, to defend ourselves." "This is pure John Locke kind of stuff," he told the DCNF. "The first duty of government — to secure the people" and to "take care of our communities." Why Illegal Immigrants Are Being Released Without Court Dates. Under circumstances at the southern border created by Biden administration actions, the contentious "catch and release" of illegal immigrants has become a bit more complicated, as the Border Patrol is now releasing thousands of illegal aliens into the country without a court date. Generally, after apprehension, it's the Border Patrol that processes the illegal border crossers and issues a notice for them to appear in immigration court. However, with the flood of migrants crossing the border, the Border Patrol instead has begun issuing them a "notice to report" to Immigration and Customs Enforcement in 60 days. Even border hawks are split on its potential effectiveness. A chief complaint is that the Biden administration is engaged in something lacking statutory teeth. On the other hand, the illegal border crossers getting only a "notice to report" will not have an automatic formal status in the country. Disappearances rise on Mexico's 'highway of death' to border. As many as 50 people are missing after setting out on three-hour car trips this year between Mexico's industrial hub of Monterrey and the border city of Nuevo Laredo on a well-traveled stretch of road local media have dubbed "the highway of death." Relatives say family members simply vanished. Harvard poll: 80% see border disaster, want Trump closure restored, reject teaching critical race theory. The Biden administration is failing big time with its inability to control illegal immigration, adding it to one of several issues that could doom Democrats if left unchecked. In a new Harvard/Harris poll, an overwhelming 80% said that illegal immigration is a serious issue and one that needs more attention than what President Joe Biden or Vice President Kamala Harris are giving. What's more, 68% said that signals from Biden's White House are encouraging illegal immigration, and 55% believe that former President Donald Trump's border closing policies should have been left in place. Five Shots of Optimism for Freedom-Lovers. [#2] Because the federal government has failed in its duty to protect American lives and property and seems intent on creating the worst border crisis since the Mexican-American War, Arizona and Texas bypassed the feds on June 10 and sent a distress call seeking help from any state willing to engage hostile forces waging war against American citizens. Florida governor Ron DeSantis and Nebraska governor Pete Ricketts both answered the call because only a coalition of free American states can pick up the slack when the federal government aids drug cartels, human traffickers, and criminal gangs across the country. Texas governor Greg Abbott has announced that Texas will build its own border wall and finish the job that President Trump started. When the federal government abandons its post, a coalition of the willing must fill the gap and seal the breach. 4 Keys to Understanding How Illegal Immigrants Fly to New Homes in America. Two Republican governors are calling for the Senate to investigate why the Biden administration hasn't notified state and local governments before transporting illegal immigrants to their jurisdictions and releasing them there. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds and Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee wrote a letter of support to Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who has called repeatedly for a hearing on the crisis on the southern border. "We believe this hearing should also address the Biden administration's failure to provide notice and transparency in their movement of unaccompanied migrant children into states," Reynolds and Lee said in the June 10 letter to Grassley. These two governors, both Republicans, have been among the most vocal critics of the Biden administration's policy of using domestic flights to relocate illegal immigrants. Texas forced to empty out prison to accommodate illegal immigrants they're being forced to arrest. As the Biden administration continues to abdicate its obligation to defend the southern border, states such as Texas have decided to take matters into their own hands. Unfortunately, the law of unintended consequences will force the Lonestar State to empty out a prison located in south Texas in order to make room for an expected influx of inmates arrested for illegally crossing the border, the Epoch Times reports. A spokesman for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), Jeremy Desel said that officials will be transferring inmates from the Dolph Briscoe Unit prison in Dilley, Texas, to other prisons in order to accommodate the expected surge. Biden administration forces head of Border Patrol to leave post immediately. The Biden administration is forcing out the career law enforcement official overseeing the U.S. Border Patrol and will temporarily replace him with the second in command, the Washington Examiner has learned. Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott informed regional chiefs from around the country in a video conference Wednesday of his plans to leave, according to three people with knowledge of the conversation. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas made the final decision to get rid of Scott, all three people said. One person said the move was not related to Scott's performance over the past 18 months or how he has handled the surge of people coming across the southern border since President Joe Biden took office. Instead, the move was "completely driven by politics," even though Scott's position is apolitical and he is a 29-year law enforcement official at the Border Patrol. Biden Forces Out Border Patrol Chief Who Refused to Call "Illegal Aliens", "Migrants". While the Biden administration is focused on pushing racially divisive critical race theory on the military, it's also taking time out to trash what's left of border security. [...] During the Trump administration, the media feigned outrage that some of Obama's people were being pushed out. There were articles and op-eds about the dangers of politicizing agencies and undermining career personnel. Now the media is openly cheering when career professionals are forced out for doing their jobs. Texas children's migrant center: Panic attacks, suicidal attempts plague despondent detainees. Unaccompanied minors are being housed at Fort Bliss, just north of El Paso, Texas. A temporary shelter was required at the Army base to accommodate the overwhelming number of children crossing the southern border. It is described as a tent city in the Texas desert. It currently houses 1,600 teenagers but can hold up to 10,000 if necessary. The huge spike in illegal migration since Biden took office quickly filled available shelters along the Rio Grande Valley border so the shelter on the base in El Paso — the far western part of Texas — was opened to ease overcrowding. 2020 Update: How Many Illegal Aliens Live in the United States? As of 2020, FAIR estimates that there are approximately 14.5 million illegal aliens residing within the United States. This number is marginally higher than FAIR's previous estimate of 14.3 million in 2019. Based on FAIR's most recent comprehensive fiscal cost study, illegal aliens are likely imposing a net fiscal burden of at least $133.7 billion. That's an increase of nearly $2 billion over the past year. Texas Border Crossers in for Nasty Surprise from Nebraska. Nebraska Republican Gov. Pete Ricketts has had enough of illegal immigrants flooding into his state and he's about to take major action. Ricketts plans to send over two dozen Nebraska State Patrol Officers to Del Rio, Texas, to assist officers with the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. "Nebraska is stepping up to help Texas respond to the ongoing crisis on their border with Mexico," Ricketts said in a statement. A Hope and Prayer for the Biden Administration. The worst foreign policy-related failure of this administration is the horrible mess on the southern border. Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas solemnly announces "The border is closed" as television viewers are treated to the sight of masses of illegal immigrants pouring into the country overland and wading through the shallowest stretches of the Rio Grande. Presumably the administration will act to end this tragic charade, amplified by the fiasco of the vice president's visit to Central America highlighting her and Biden's aversion to going to the border. The best that can be said, and without much conviction, is that this absurdly credulous definition of asylum will soon give way to the resumption of Trump's very successful policies called by other names with the connivance of the docile Democratic political media. Biden's Policies Feed a Criminal Monopoly. Mexican criminal cartels — not U.S. border communities, nor illegal immigrants — are the beneficiaries of President Joe Biden's open border policies. Biden's neglect of border security is feeding the money-making machine of the Mexican cartels, a criminal enterprise that exploits immigrants by taking their money — and sometimes their lives. "[The cartels] have the northern border of Mexico sealed," Jay Whetten, a rancher residing in Cochise County, Arizona, told me in an interview. "Nobody comes through that border illegally without their authorization." In May 2021, Border Patrol encounters with illegal immigrants from the Mexican border increased 674% as compared to May 2020, demonstrating the magnitude of the increase in business for Mexican cartels. And, according to a veteran Department of Homeland Security law enforcement officer, these are only the crossings of which Border Patrol is aware. Border Officials Have Found More Than 200 Dead Migrants Since October And Rescued Thousands. Border officials recorded over 200 migrant deaths and about 7,000 rescues for migrants who attempted to illegally enter the U.S. since October 2020, a Customs and Border Protection spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation Thursday. Migrants continue to try and enter the U.S illegally despite high temperatures and other dangers, the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesperson told the DCNF. Border officials rescued at least 60 migrants and a suspected smuggler this week and have discovered over 203 dead migrants since October 2020. "CBP's message for anyone who is thinking of entering the United States illegally along the Southern border is simple: don't do it," a CBP spokesperson told the DCNF. "When migrants cross the border illegally, they put their lives in peril. The terrain along the border is extreme, the summer heat is severe, and the miles of desert migrants must hike after crossing the border in many areas are unforgiving." Smuggling Illegal Aliens Around Border Patrol Is Booming Business for Drivers. Social media platforms, encrypted messaging apps, and Google map pin drops are being utilized to move thousands of illegal aliens around Border Patrol checkpoints and eventually to large U.S. cities. In Texas, drivers are recruited on social media — lured by the promise of quick cash — to haul illegal aliens to San Antonio, Houston, Austin, or Dallas. One U.S. citizen-driver told The Epoch Times he was promised $1,000 per person for the seven Guatemalans he was moving from Kinney County to San Antonio. The Del Rio region of the Texas-Mexico border is largely ranchland, with small communities dotted in between and linked by rural roads. Late-night flights carrying migrant children arrive in Chattanooga. Chattanooga's Wilson Air Center is receiving planes carrying migrant children who are being bused to multiple southeastern cities during overnight hours. Channel 3 obtained video of one of those planes arriving Friday, May 14 shortly before 1:30 a.m. A second video, shared with Channel 3, shows more children arriving late Saturday night. According to the source who provided the video, a third plane carrying children arrived Friday afternoon. Flight records confirm that a fourth plane arrived early Wednesday morning, May 19. Garland vacates two Trump-era orders that made it hard for immigrants to win asylum. Attorney General Merrick Garland vacated two Trump-era immigration orders Wednesday that had made it difficult for many immigrants entering the U.S. to win their asylum cases. Garland said in a statement that immigration court judges should ignore both decisions until they undergo a rulemaking process with public comment. The first, known as the Matter of A-B, issued by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, made it nearly impossible for victims of domestic violence or gang violence to qualify for asylum. Sessions had said women unable to leave violent relationships did not count as a "particular social group" under the definition of asylum. Trump to Visit Southern Border to 'Shine a Spotlight' on Biden's 'Crimes Against Our Nation'. Donald Trump has accepted Texas Governor Greg Abbott's invitation to join him on an official visit to the United States' southern border, he announced in a statement. The visit will take place Wednesday, June 30, 2021. "The Biden Administration inherited from me the strongest, safest, and most secure border in U.S history and in mere weeks they turned it into the single worst border crisis in U.S history," Trump said. "It's an unmitigated disaster zone." "We went from detain-and-remove to catch-and-release. We went from having border security that was the envy of the world to a lawless border that is now pitied around the world. Biden and Harris have handed control of our border over to cartels, criminals, and coyotes," Trump said. "Drug dealers, MS-13 gang members, human smugglers, sex traffickers, and the criminal elements of the world now have free reign." Kamala Harris offers new bag of goodies to illegal aliens who've come to the US. 'Do not come, do not come,' as she said on her recent vice presidential trip to Guatemala. But if you do, she's got some goodies for you. Which is a whale of a mixed message, one that's likely to reduce her credibility even further than it already has gone. It's likely to encourage more would-be illegal border crossers to come on in. Seriously, is offering full legalization to DACA recipients likely to discourage illegal border crossers to stop sending their kids in? They've alread gotten Joe Biden's word that unaccompanied minors won't be sent back, that's where the soaring child migrant surge, with all the crying kids dumped by smugglers in the desert, is coming from[.] Why would anyone heed her 'do not come, do not come' exhortation, when now she's showing them that if they do come, they'll get the golden goose? Calamity Kamala Is An International Laughingstock. Upon becoming president, Joe Biden created a disaster at the nation's southern border. He foolishly ordered an immediate halt to the construction of our border wall. He also abandoned Trump administration policies that were clearly working. The result has been a massive increase in the number of illegal immigrants entering the United States. This stampede of migrants has overwhelmed our resources at the border and created a true humanitarian catastrophe. To show he was taking action to deal with the problem, Biden appointed Vice President Kamala Harris to be his point person on the border crisis. Even though he has selected crazed leftists for many of the positions in his administration, choosing Harris may have been his worst appointment. [...] Her performance as vice president has been even worse, so it is mystifying why Biden would choose her for such an important role as dealing with the border crisis. In this position, she has been even worse than expected, acting in an arrogant, ill-informed manner that has only exacerbated the crisis. Day
83 of Kamala Harris's border czar caper, and a new round of migrant detention centers go up. Eighty-three days into Kamala Harris's
tenure as Joe Biden's border czar, a slew of new border detention facilities are suddenly being constructed. Those are to house the growing
wave of illegal border crossers. Seems that Harris hasn't been effective. [...] Fact is, the problem is getting worse. And here's the
border surge problem by the Border Patrol's official numbers. These are the land-based southwest border "encounters."
Some yapping from Chihuahua: Mexican beauty queen with Miss Universe title wants to tell us how to run our country. Back in the old days, beauty queens would tell us their fondest desire was for ... whirled peas. Nowadays, it's all about telling gringo how to run his country. Which is the buried news we got from an interview with the newly crowned Miss Universe from Chihuahua, Mexico, Andrea Meza, who told Fox News with characteristic breathiness: [...] Somehow America's the target because America's the bad guy and she's inclined to use her beauty-queen megaphone to tell all the world's nations about it. Somehow, I don't think this "conditions" statement is a bid to tell migrants not to emigrate to the states illegally, paying coyotes thousands of dollars for the illegal trip up norte. More likely, it's that gringo doesn't do enough for them. Is she going to tell the Mexicans just how terrible life in the states is so they don't emigrate here illegally? I'm gonna say 'no' especially since she said she's meeting with the Mexican consulate in New York and we all know that they've got an agenda. Mexico voted in their midterms yesterday. Insane fact: 97 politicians were assassinated just during this election cycle! Just a normal midterm election cycle in Mexico, where the cartels call the shots ... and send the shots. That's right, leading up to yesterday's midterm elections down there, 97 politicians had been assassinated. Along with almost a thousand being attacked in some way, shape, or form. Just in this election cycle! Kamala Harris Tells Spanish Media U.S. Is A 'Safe Haven' For Migrants. [Scroll down] People are flying in from all over the world to cross our border. Reuters reported last month how Gypsies from Romania are flying in from Paris then meeting up with smugglers in Mexico City to waltz right in: [Tweet] DHS head Alejandro Mayorkas and HHS's Rachel Levine appear to be working together to fly these illegal migrants all over the country, targeting red states like Iowa and Tennessee for cultural and demographic enrichment. [Video clips] It's all going according to plan. As Biden said at a White House Summit in early 2015 with Mayorkas at his side, America being flooded with an "unrelenting" "wave" of migrants is something we should be "most proud of." How Facebook is fueling the border crisis by failing to close down dozens of groups offering passage into the US. Facebook has been blamed for fueling the border crisis as human smugglers are using its platform to organize the passage of desperate migrants into the US in exchange for as little as $1,700. Dozens of Facebook pages and groups openly offer illegal crossings across the US-Mexico border, posting prices, routes, discount options, videos they claim show successful trips — and even testimonials from what they claim to be happy customers. Ducey, Abbott ask other 48 governors to send law enforcement to help patrol US border. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sent a joint letter to the governors of the 48 other states asking them to send additional law enforcement staff and resources to help patrol their states' borders with Mexico. Ducey published a copy of the letter on Thursday afternoon, timing its publication with a border summit that Abbott kicked off in Del Rio, Texas. In their letter, both Republican governors claim the administration of President Joe Biden "has proven unwilling or unable" to secure the U.S.-Mexico border, citing a 20-year high in migrant encounters in the month of May as evidence of an "open-border disaster." Illegal Border Crossings Keep Climbing; 180,000 Apprehended in May. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) apprehended 180,034 individuals illegally entering the United States in May, the highest number seen in a single month in 21 years. The agency said the majority, more than 112,000, were expelled under the Title 42 emergency health provision. Former President Donald Trump implemented Title 42 in March 2020, which effectively closed the border to nonessential travel in an attempt to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. It allowed for Border Patrol to turn back illegal border-crossers almost immediately, rather than for them to be placed in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody for a more protracted process through deportation proceedings under Title 8. Ohio Senate Candidate Bernie Moreno: 'We Don't Have a Country if We Can't Enforce Our Border'. Ohio Republican Bernie Moreno, a candidate for U.S. Senate, has released a video message telling those seeking to immigrate to America illegally to "wait in line." "Everyone is angry when you're waiting your turn and someone cuts in line, whether at a grocery store, an airline gate, or a public bathroom," Moreno says in the video. "But when an illegal immigrant cuts the line, no one is angrier than the legal immigrant — I should know. My family came here when I was five years old." Illegal border crossing attempts reach new high under Biden: 180,000 in May. Federal law enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border stopped 180,034 people who tried to enter the country illegally in May, the highest number in more than two decades, signaling a worsening of the crisis that has troubled President Joe Biden's early tenure. The May total, recording those who tried to get into the United States by sneaking in between land crossings or were denied entry at border checkpoints, was up from 178,622 in April and 172,331 in March. Roughly 8,000 of the 180,034 people whom border authorities encountered were denied entry at a port of entry, while the remainder went across the border through unfenced areas. On A Remote Stretch Of Texas Borderland, The Whole World Is Crossing The Rio Grande. Something strange is happening here in remote Val Verde County, Texas: the whole world is showing up. In recent months, migrants from far-flung places like Haiti, Venezuela, Africa, and even Uzbekistan have appeared on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, and waded across. Their numbers include families with small children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Not all of them make it. Sheriff Joe Frank Martinez says he and his deputies have seen nine drownings in the county since January — already double last year's total. The first one was on Jan. 17, a 33-year-old woman from Haiti. "She was pregnant with twins, at term. So we're counting all three." Illegal Border Crossings by Venezuelans [are] Up More Than 8000%. Customs and Border Patrol, (CBP) reports that 10,864 Venezuelans have crossed the border this fiscal year, which began on October 1, 2020 — in just the Del Rio sector. The Del Rio sector covers 47 counties and 245 miles of border along the Rio Grande in Southwest Texas. Last fiscal year the number of illegal immigrants from Venezuela was 135. If my calculator is accurate, that's a 7947.71% increase. All thanks to Gropey Joe Biden. Border surge sends prices soaring; smugglers can earn $200,000. Victoria Perez spent 10 months as a migrant smuggler. When agents finally caught up with her, she told them she had made $200,000 over that time, working two days a week, driving migrants through a Border Patrol highway checkpoint near El Paso, Texas. She charged $1,500 per person when the checkpoint was operating but only $600 when the checkpoint was closed because the risk was low and the roads were wide open, she told agents. Scottsdale residents furious as Biden admin converts hotel into ICE detention center 'under cover of darkness'. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and Scottsdale, Arizona residents are furious over the Biden administration converting a local hotel into an ICE detention center that will house hundreds of illegal immigrants. Brnovich castigated federal government leaders over the move that positions the facility near schools and a senior living facility. Two hundred angry residents protested Saturday [6/5/2021] against the development and no public input was requested. The Scottsdale Police Department didn't even get a say in the matter and were only notified of the decision the day before migrants were transferred. "The President is using Arizona as an experiment with his reckless border policies," the attorney general previously said. "I will continue to stand up for Arizonans and do everything I can to stop the Biden Administration's attempt to abolish ICE. All of us will pay the price, not only with our tax dollars, but also with our national security, and the safety of our families." 'Like Giving Whiskey And Car Keys To A Teenager': Sen. Kennedy Mocks Giving Guatemala Taxpayer Money. Republican Louisiana Sen. John Kennedy said Tuesday [6/8/2021] that giving the "corrupted administration" in Guatemala more taxpayer money is "like giving whiskey and car keys to a teenager." "I think that the reason the vice president went to Guatemala and met with President [Alejandro] Giammattei is to offer him billions and billions of American taxpayer dollars to try to make his country better, and with no disrespect but that's like giving whiskey and car keys to a teenager," Kennedy told "Fox & Friends." "President Giammattei is an authoritarian. He presides over a corrupted administration. They're probably going to steal the money. Corruption is rampant," Kennedy continued. United States Sees Surge in Extra-Continental Illegal Migration. There is no question that migrants from Latin America have taken advantage of President Joe Biden's open border policies; the scores of migrants flooding over our southern border are proof. However, have foreign nationals from beyond the Western Hemisphere followed suit? According to a new report by Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies, Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) traveled to the Panama-Colombia border to witness the influx of migrants entering from the Colombia side to make their way north. The impetus for Rep. Tiffany's journey follows concerns that extra-continentals originating from terror-prone nations are traveling to the United States. Extra-continental migrants are U.S.-bound foreign nationals from non-Spanish-speaking countries or regions of the world such as Brazil, Haiti, Africa, South Asia, or the Middle East. The Darien Gap, which straddles between Colombia and Panama, has served as a path for extra-continentals in South America traveling north. 10,864 Venezuelans Pour Into Texas Border Region, Up From 135 Last Year. On any given day in Del Rio, hundreds of Venezuelans wade across the Rio Grande from Mexico into the United States. They're carrying more belongings than illegal aliens from most other countries. One woman, who said she was a photographer back home, had her professional Nikon camera equipment in her backpack. They arrive on shore and proceed to change into dry clothes, discarding the wet ones on the ground. Discarded shoes, many looking new, dot the pathway up from the river in two main locations. Some pull toothbrushes and clean their teeth. The carrizo cane next to the dirt road rustles as many find cover to go to the bathroom. State Troopers are usually onsite in a large dusty parking area to greet them and pass out water as well as granola bars to the hungry. The wrappers are often discarded on the ground unless a law enforcement officer points them to a trash bag. 'We Have the Support of the President.' For These Americans, Human Trafficking at the Border Is a Form of Political Activism. An increasing number of U.S. citizens — who consider themselves "political activists" — are taking money from Mexican cartels to receive illegal immigrants into the U.S. from the Mexican border and smuggle them into the interior of the United States. They do so believing that President Joe Biden condones their actions, thanks to his administration's rhetoric and policies on immigration. "Since the influx of [illegal immigrants] started to pick up ... the smugglers driving vehicles [on the U.S. side] are now predominantly U.S. citizens and basically work for the cartels. They are getting very reimbursed for their efforts," an Arizona rancher, who wished to remain anonymous, told me in an interview. "The [Santa Cruz County sheriff] said when they are apprehended, the smugglers tell him, 'We have the support of the president.'" Report: Joe Biden May Allow Foreign Nationals to Secure U.S. Citizenship Without Standard FBI Vetting. President Joe Biden may soon allow legal immigrants with green cards to secure American citizenship without undergoing a standard name check by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Center for Immigration Studies Director of Regulatory Affairs and Policy Robert Law writes that sources with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) have indicated that the Biden administration is planning to drop the standard FBI name vetting process for legal immigrants applying to gain American citizenship. North Carolina HS Student Denied His Deploma After Refusing To Take Of Mexican Flag Over His Graduation Gown. A TikTok video of a North Carolina graduating senior has gone viral after he was denied his diploma for wearing a Mexican flag over his graduation gown. Adolfo Hurtado was filming his cousin, Ever Lopez, during the ceremony, watching him walk down the stage at Asheboro High School wearing a Mexican flag draped over his gown, when he appeared to get stopped by a faculty member. Lopez was seen initially taking off the flag but kept it on after audience members encouraged him to do so, Hurtado said in the video. The ceremony was also live-streamed on Asheboro City School's Facebook account. [Video clip] Vermont Republican Governor Seeks to Give Non-Citizens Voting Rights in Local Elections. Vermont Gov. Phil Scott (R) is asking state lawmakers to pass an elections law that would allow non-citizens across the state to vote in local municipality elections. Scott vetoed two pieces of legislation that sought to give non-citizens the right to vote in local elections in Montpelier and Winooski, Vermont. However, he said he is not opposed to the plan but wants state legislatures to send him a bill that would give non-citizens the right to vote, statewide, in local elections. Ex-ICE Director Slams Biden's Border Policies: 'Worst I've Seen in 35 Years'. Former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Thomas Homan said Joe Biden's border policy "the most inhumane policy that I've seen in my 35 years." Homan weighed in on the crisis after Texas Gov. Greg Abbot announced a disaster declaration amid gangs and drug cartels pouring into the state. "The men and women of the Border Patrol are the only piece of humanity on that border," Homan said. Our Increasingly Unrecognizable Civilization. [Scroll down] Functioning societies, at least since the Peace of Westphalia three centuries ago, have borders. America has no southern border and no plans to get one. The official position of our government seems to be that any of the seven billion persons on this planet has a right to come and stay in the U.S. for three years, until his or her assigned court date comes up. As the number of people with pending cases continues to grow, that three years will extend out to five or seven or 15 years. If we get all seven billion people to come here, the court system will break down entirely and maybe we can go back to having a functioning border. [...] We're told there's a health emergency. We're told we can't open our businesses or attend weddings or funerals. Yet at the same time, every day, thousands of people pour across the southern border, test positive for COVID, and are then driven to a nice hotel and put up there at taxpayers' expense. Single male illegals are being flown to somewhere USA. Single males are often gang-related or soon will be. They also make great Antifa and BLMers. A report detailing the Biden administration's "lottery" migration policy, resulting in the mass release of border-crossers into the U.S. interior, reveals that DHS is flying single male adult border crossers into the country in addition to Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) and adult border crossers arriving with children. In one recent case, 15 single adult male border crossers were apprehended crossing the southern border, sent to a DHS facility, and then bused or put on domestic commercial flights into various U.S. cities. According to the report, the Biden administration is letting go 15 percent of single male adults and about 65 percent of the adults who have children in the U.S. Hundreds of Scottsdale Patriots Protest Surprise Biden Migrant Safehouse In their Neighborhood. On Wednesday [6/2/2021], Patriots in Scottsdale, Arizona rallied in protest of Joe Biden's new America Last open border policy. As The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday, a North Scottsdale hotel is now acting as shelter for illegal immigrants who are being nurtured and housed by the American taxpayer. Thank you to the freedom fighters who submit tips, photos and videos. You are doing a great service to the nation. The New Secession Crisis: The Democrats have already left the Union. The Democrats have already seceded from America's historic conception of nationhood in many respects: [...] THEY have engaged in bureaucratic and judicial nullification of our laws, particularly on immigration — perhaps the most important element in determining who makes up the American polity. Donald Trump ran on the platform of toughening up immigration policy. It was his defining issue. Yet the Left made a mockery of the rule of law, using the bureaucracy to throw up procedural roadblock after procedural roadblock to Trump's agenda, while left-wing judges issued blatantly absurd rulings using invented doctrines to block Trump's rescission of Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals order and accuse the administration of a "Muslim ban" that, in fact, was based heavily on an earlier Obama Administration effort. Abbott issues disaster declaration in response to border crisis. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Tuesday [6/1/2021] issued a disaster declaration in response to several hundred thousand immigrants illegally entering the U.S. through Texas since President Joe Biden's border policies began in January. The five-page order comes roughly two months after Abbott initiated Operation Lonestar on March 6, directing the Texas Department of Public Safety to protect Texans from increased crime being committed by immigrants. Abbott's order directs DPS to enforce all federal and state criminal laws, including criminal trespassing, smuggling and human trafficking. The legislature just passed a biennial budget, which allocates an additional $1 billion to fund DPS border security efforts. What if there are 50 million by the time it becomes law? Kamala Harris's aides reportedly in 'panic' after Joe Biden made her his migrant czar. Apparently, no one in the Kamala Harris camp was thrilled when Joe Biden fobbed off onto her the job of stemming the surge at the border. [...] "Most qualified" was definitely a joke, which would be the best explanation as to why they could panic. Some of course, told CNN she was actually thrilled, but let's just say the publicity-loving, selfie-taking Harris's failure to visit the border or hold any press conferences tells a different story. The staff argument, though, that it might be misconstrued, and become a public relations problem, is pure nonsense. You can't solve a border surge by ignoring a border, Republicans noted in the report, so the claims that Harris was onto some separate issue from that was happening at the border, and that there was absolutely nothing to learn from people on the ground at the border, whether they were Border Patrol agents or actual migrants, is horse hockey. That nonsense was easily discernable by the Republicans the report said the staffers were panicking about, if for nothing else than their criticisms resonated with voters. Supreme Court Rules Asylum Applicants Bear Burden of Proof, Reversing 9th Circuit. Unanimously ruling against a Chinese asylum claimant, the Supreme Court reversed the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, finding that immigration judges don't have to explicitly state that an asylum seeker's story isn't credible when finding against him. The court's opinion in the case, Garland v. Dai, court file 19-1155, was written by Justice Neil Gorsuch. "The Ninth Circuit has long applied a special rule in immigration disputes," Gorsuch wrote. "The rule provides that, in the absence of an explicit adverse credibility determination by an immigration judge or the Board of Immigration Appeals, a reviewing court must treat a petitioning alien's testimony as credible and true." Harris' team says dealing with the border is not her job and focus is only on 'root causes' of migration. Vice President Kamala Harris' was tasked by President Biden with dealing with the crisis at the US-Mexico border, but now she's distancing herself from that crisis she cannot solve. Harris' team explained that Harris isn't supposed to be dealing with the border, that this was never her job. Instead, she's meant to handle the "root causes" of migration. For Harris, those include climate change and violence against LGBTQ people. White House reporter Natasha Bertrand told CNN that Harris' "team has come out and said publicly: 'Look, we do not own the issues at the border, we are not managing the issues at the border, this is for the Secretary of Homeland Security, this is for the people on the NSC who are dealing explicitly with this issue in the United States. The Vice President is going to be dealing exclusively with diplomacy.'" Arizona Sheriff Describes How the Border Has Changed Under Biden. The effort to curb illegal immigration in his Arizona border jurisdiction has deteriorated dramatically since President Joe Biden took office, Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels says. "When President Biden declared the southwest border a nonemergency, it stopped the physical barrier going up, it stopped all infrastructure completion, it stopped the subterraneal technology, it froze that construction on-site," Dannels said in an interview with The Daily Signal. Dannels described "cables out of the ground, trenches, bridges not done, roadways not done." The wall project is "environmentally in disarray, it's physically in disarray," the border sheriff added. "And what's going to happen after our monsoon season, which is in July, it's going to wipe out most of what's even been done there," Dannels said. Report: Joe Biden's DHS May Bring Deported Illegal Aliens Back to U.S.. President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may consider a plan to bring deported illegal aliens back to the United States, presumably paid for by American taxpayers. The open borders lobby shared a plan with the Biden administration to bring illegal aliens deported by former President Donald Trump's administration back to the U.S., according to the Associated Press (AP). More than 935,000 illegal aliens were deported by the Trump administration. Deception Wearing the Mask of Truth. [Scroll down] Biden/Harris have endorsed, supported, and invited the unrestrained abject horror of drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and human trafficking via a deliberately porous open southern border, resettling unaccompanied children all across America. Illegal alien sex and child trafficking continues with impunity under Biden's open borders policy while a surge in overdose deaths from methamphetamine,and oxycontin laced with fentanyl — all managed by Mexican cartels given sanctuary by Joe Biden — merits a VP Kamala Harris response that "climate change is the root provocation for the border challenges, and Mexico should plant more trees." Decency? No, neither stupidity nor incompetence, instead an abomination and disinformation by design. Laughable: Kamala Harris's big corporate 'root causes' plan for Central America. So in her quest to find all those root causes for the current migrant surge into the U.S., Kamala Harris has focused on Central America, where two-thirds of the illegal aliens pouring over our border are coming from. And not surprisingly, instead of going to the border and asking a border surger about it, or even doing diplomacy, as she claims, she's got big plans to bring in huge corporations and NGOs to the region, kind of like the United Fruit Company, which lefties in the past have complained about. It's downright laughable. Trump West Point advisory board appointee says government is replacing Americans with European heritage with migrants. A decorated Army veteran appointed by Donald Trump to West Point's advisory board at the end of his presidency has suggested that Joe Biden is deliberately bringing in migrants in a bid to change the demographic balance to help Democrats. Colonel Douglas Macgregor, 68, was appointed by Trump on December 8 for a three-year term on the board, which provides independent advice to the president on morale, curriculum, discipline, and other issues at West Point. Venezuelan Migrant Fleeing Across U.S. Border Slams Americans Who 'Don't Know The Reality Of Socialism'. A migrant crossing the southern U.S. border from Venezuela with just his wife, his daughter, and a backpack said he doesn't believe supporters of socialism should be in the United States and warned they are ignorant of its catastrophic consequences. Speaking earlier this week with Jorge Ventura, a reporter with the Daily Caller who has been reporting on the border crisis from Del Rio, Texas, the migrant man said, "I'm sure that the people who say [they support socialism] don't know the reality of socialism," according to a translation by The Washington Examiner. "These people are the middle class and upper-middle class," the man further explained, indicating to the other migrants around him. "And they're leaving [Venezuela]." [Video clip] Biden transition team official's consulting firm advised contractor handed millions to house migrants. A Biden-Harris transition team official who worked on border issues was simultaneously advising the organization that ended up getting hundreds of millions of dollars in immigration contracts from the government. This week, the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general launched an investigation examining how its agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, selected a small Texas-based nonprofit organization known as Family Endeavors to house migrant families in hotels. New information obtained exclusively by the Washington Examiner revealed that the Family Endeavors employee believed to have brokered the deal, a former ICE official, was advising Family Endeavors while he was on the Biden-Harris transition team, where he may have had knowledge of the government's plans to change border policies and known what housing needs would arise. Lawyers familiar with the situation said it raises more red flags beyond the existing conflicts of interest that members of Congress have urged to investigate. DHS Secretary Insists 'Border Is Closed,' Defends Response to Migrant Crisis. During a House Appropriations Committee hearing, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday insisted that "the border is closed" and defended the Biden administration's management of the influx of migrants illegally entering the United States. Republicans demanded answers from Mayorkas about the relaxed interior enforcement his department has been directing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to do, including restricting agents' ability to arrest and deport the majority of immigrants. Washington Won't Let Border Patrol Arrest Human Smugglers Offloading Aliens Right in Front of Them. The Border Patrol agents working under the international bridge here got busy fast with "processing" duty after the first three rubber rafts delivered their loads of illegal immigrant families. But with another raft about to land, the occupied Border Patrol supervisory agent on scene asked a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) officer to please go over and bring those immigrants in for processing, but to do so with this proviso: "Don't arrest him," the supervisor warned about the raft's paddler, who would soon stand on U.S. soil within arm's reach of the DPS officer to land the immigrants. GOP Sen. Rick Scott to block DHS nominees until Biden visits border. Sen. Rick Scott said Thursday [5/27/2021] he will block top Homeland Security nominees until President Biden makes a trip to the southern border to get a firsthand look at the situation. Mr. Scott revealed his stance at a confirmation hearing with three nominees, the picks for deputy secretary, general counsel, and undersecretary for strategy, policy and plans. He said it wasn't anything personal toward the three nominees, but rather a statement about Mr. Biden's approach to the border. Five reasons not to be optimistic about America's future. [#4] Illegal immigration poses an existential threat to the nation. Both parties in Congress have failed to acknowledge the threat, let alone deal with it. 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. The economic costs of taking in 100 million or 300 million or more "refugees" would tear us apart. The social costs of deadly drugs, violent criminals, and terrorists constitute the worst public safety issue since World War II. But the most dangerous likely results of open borders are the destruction of the two-party system and the forced implementation of socialism by the left wing of the Democratic Party. Another illegal graduates, proudly waving the flag of the country he'd do anything to not be sent back to. It's spring graduations these days, and out come the illegals, proudly waving the flags of the nations they don't want to be sent back to. That was the case again in San Diego, where one illegal immigrant, Javier Diego Jacinto, wildly waved the Mexican flag at his graduation from San Diego State University, touting his status as a DACA recipient, and gave interviews for the television cameras. He's not the first. 'Functionally Abolished': ICE Averaging 'One Arrest Every Two Months' Amid Border Crisis. President Joe Biden has effectively abolished the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency through heavy restrictions on its operations, ICE officers say. ICE deportations numbered an all-time low last month with 2,962 illegal immigrants returned to their home countries. Plummeting immigration enforcement is a result of new policies Biden implemented that restrict who qualifies for deportation and what actions ICE is authorized to take. ICE agents complain Biden has stopped them from doing their job. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says he wants to make 'significant changes' to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement — as 'frustrated' agents at the agency say the Biden Administration 'doesn't have their backs'. Mayorkas made the claim in an interview with The Washington Post on Tuesday [5/25/2021], as ICE deportations drop to a record low. Less than 3,000 illegal immigrants were expelled from the United States last month by ICE, despite border crossings surging to a 20 year high. Biden's Border Policy Is an Economic Boon for Cartels, Assault on American Communities. [O]n the U.S.-Mexican border, the harsh truth is that Biden's "system" has led to booming business for the human and drug traffickers of the Mexican cartels. In Cochise County, Arizona, rancher Jay Whetten told me in an interview how the Biden administration's reversal of Trump-era border policies — tantamount to "telling people to come in" — has greatly increased the human and drug smuggling businesses of the cartels. "The cartels are really, really, making a lot of money today," said Whetten, who is former president of the Arizona Cattle Growers Association. "They have the northern border of Mexico sealed. Nobody comes through that border illegally without their authorization. It's a money-making machine for them, and they don't care about these people." Six Blatant and Damaging Lies by President Joe Biden. [#6] There is no border crisis, and this surge in migrants "happens every single, solitary year. Nothing has changed." [Rebuttal:] Even though categorizing a situation as a "crisis" is subjective, this assertion by Biden and his Administration is clearly a lie because anyone with the slightest level of objectivity can see how dire things are at the border. Even NBC News, which is essentially just a component of the White House's communications team, admits as much; explaining that illegal border crossings are at a 20-year high. There are children being kept in the same facilities ('cages') which Presidents Trump and Obama used, there are eight-times more migrants being detained now than at any time during Trump's term, and all of this is happening amid a pandemic the Administration is still trying to hype as problematic. Biden and his cronies are lying through their teeth. 1,000 Migrants Apprehended in One Day in Single Texas Border Sector. Del Rio Sector agents set a new record for single-day migrant apprehensions on Thursday with the arrest of more than 1,000 migrants. The apprehensions came during the interdiction of 27 smuggling attempts in addition to arrests along the border. Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Austin Skero tweeted the news of a record-setting apprehension of more than 1,000 migrants in a single day. DHS grants deportation amnesty for 100,000 Haitians. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced Saturday he was opening a new grant of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians living in the U.S., saying that country's unrest is so bad that people shouldn't be forced to return home. Advocacy groups said perhaps 100,000 Haitians living in the U.S. — many of them illegally — can be protected. TPS grants them a deportation amnesty and allows them to obtain legal work permits, Social Security numbers and some taxpayer benefits. "Haiti is currently experiencing serious security concerns, social unrest, an increase in human rights abuses, crippling poverty, and lack of basic resources, which are exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic," Mr. Mayorkas said. ICE [is] Unable to Track Most Illegal Immigrants Released Into Country. As thousands of illegal immigrants are released into the United States every week, the agency responsible for enforcement is unable to keep tabs on most of them. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Tae Johnson admitted to Congress that "there's certainly some gaps in our ability to track" illegal immigrants being released. After being apprehended at the border, illegal immigrants are processed by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to determine who they are and whether they're subject to being immediately turned back under the current Title 42 public health provision. Single adults from Spanish-speaking nations are almost all subject to immediate expulsion under Title 42, according to Acting CBP Commissioner Troy Miller. But Border Patrol is also encountering more illegal aliens from non-Spanish speaking nations, in particular Brazil and Haiti. Biden Admin Caught Secretly Flying Illegal Migrant Children Into Key Red State. Plugged-in politicos and concerned Americans know that Joe Biden has, in just a few short months, created a nightmarish chaotic situation along the U.S.-Mexico border after his reversal of former President Donald Trump's enforcement-heavy policies. It was predictable and in fact was predicted: Reducing enforcement of existing laws against illegal immigration; re-implementing 'catch-and-release' into the interior; ending 'Remain in Mexico'; neutering Immigration and Customs Enforcement; and ordering wall construction halted all have produced the desired result. Yes, desired. Biden's left-wing handlers knew exactly the conditions they would create when they set down those first dozen or so executive orders on his first day in office reversing the Trump border enforcement legacy. Video shows Biden administration 'secretly' flying migrant children into Tennessee. Tennessee lawmakers have accused President Joe Biden's administration of secretly flying migrant children into their state without consulting them — as Kamala Harris faces growing pressure to visit the southern border to address the crisis. Several videos obtained by WRCB-TV Channel 3 show a handful of planes carrying minor migrants arriving at Chattanooga's Wilson Air Center during overnight hours. Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn said in a statement the transportation of migrants there is taking place in 'the dead of night without the knowledge or permission of the communities involved.' Biden's border crisis — after seeing it firsthand, we think this is the solution. Last month, we had the opportunity to visit our southern border and see this migrant crisis firsthand. While we were there, we saw a 5-year-old girl all alone. She was in tears — not knowing where she is or where her family may have gone. Children were crammed into overcrowded facilities, huddled on the hard ground with only a silver, solar blanket to keep warm. Ten percent of the children were COVID-positive. Everywhere we looked, we saw children who were, quite simply put, traumatized. A Disaster Entirely of Biden's Making. The more we learn about the true dimensions of the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, the worse it is. Now, a new report says that in the last few months U.S. authorities have encountered illegal border crossers not just from Mexico, or the Northern Triangle countries, but from 160 nations around the globe. People are coming to Mexico from the most distant spots on the planet in order to cross illegally into the United States, confident that President Joe Biden will let them stay. And Biden is doing just that. "More than 12,500 Ecuadoreans were encountered in March, up from 3,568 in January," the New York Times reports. "Nearly 4,000 Brazilians and more than 3,500 Venezuelans were intercepted, up from just 300 and 284, respectively, in January. The numbers in coming months are expected to be higher." And then there are the migrants coming from India and Asia. Media in Full Spin Mode to Cover for Biden's Failures. Joe Biden's presidency is spiraling out of control. By any reasonable metric he has failed as a commander in chief. He has failed on immigration, he has failed on the economy, he has failed to create jobs, he has failed on foreign policy, he has failed on handling the pandemic, he has failed to unite the country, and he has failed as a leader. But that's not what the mainstream media would have us believe. [...] In April, 178,622 migrants entered our country illegally, marking a 3 percent increase over the 172,000 who broke the law in March, the highest number in 20 years. But don't worry; Biden in his own words has "now gotten control" of the situation, and there's still no reason for Vice President Kamala Harris to visit the border. How the AP Slanted Border Coverage to Hide the Crisis. Typically, news organizations rush to cover crises, real or perceived. The Associated Press has taken a different tack, using its influential style guide to play down the human drama unfolding at the southern border. While internal Customs and Border Protection documents repeatedly refer to an immigration "surge" at the border, according to records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon, the AP recommends journalists no longer use such descriptions to avoid offense and maintain supposed "neutrality." Other documents, circulated internally throughout Customs and Border Protection in May, instruct officials on processing "the surge of undocumented individuals as efficiently as possible." The move by AP, a response to left-wing activists who demanded gentler language from reporters when covering immigration, fundamentally changed how newsrooms across the country covered the Biden administration's response to a historical influx of migrants in the president's first 100 days in office. Biden's HUD to let illegal immigrants use taxpayer funds for public housing. Housing and Urban Development Secretary Marcia Fudge said Monday the Biden administration won't prevent illegal immigrants from access to public housing, as she announced a program to deliver $5 billion in emergency housing vouchers aimed at preventing homelessness. Asked if the administration would pursue a Trump-era policy to make sure that only U.S. citizens receive housing aid, Ms. Fudge said, "The answer is no." "We are doing everything we can possibly to take any living person in this nation off the streets," she told reporters. "That's kind of our posture." Biden Revokes Trump Border Policy, Welcomes Migrants Without Means for Health Care. President Joe Biden will reverse former President Donald Trump's policy to require immigrants to have the means to pay for health care so they would not rely on government programs, he said during a meeting with so-called Dreamers on Friday [5/14/2021]. [...] U.S. Customs and Border Protection encountered 178,622 migrants trying to enter the U.S. in April, a 3 percent increase from approximately 172,000 in March, the highest number of encounters in two decades. TV Buries Biden's Worse-than-Ever Border Crisis. New numbers show the crisis at the U.S. southern border actually worsened in April, but the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts have drastically cut back on their coverage of the Biden administration's ongoing debacle. In April, the number of encounters at the Southwest border region, as reported by U.S. Customs and Border Protection was 178,622, an increase from the then-record-breaking 173,348 in March. The number of unaccompanied children intercepted in April was a still-high 17,171, compared to 18,960 in March. Earlier this week, the Associated Press reported that "the number of migrant children in government custody more than doubled in the past two months.... Attorneys, advocates and mental health experts say that while some shelters are safe and provide adequate care, others are endangering children's health and safety." Immigrant bought land where he crossed the border illegally and allows others to do the same. An immigrant who purchased the land where he crossed over into the U.S. illegally said he won't stop other migrants from doing the same, BuzzFeed News reported Friday [5/14/2021]. Ociel Mendoza illegally entered the U.S. when he was 18-years-old and looking for seasonal work on Texas ranches, according to BuzzFeed News. Mendoza bought the land where he illegally crossed into the country over 40 years earlier, and now allows other migrants looking for a better life to come through the area. Biden [is]
beset by crises following reversals of Trump policies. According to the most recent figures, the Customs and Border Patrol agency encountered more
than 178,000 illegal migrants crossing into the United States via the southern border in April. That figure is up slightly from the already-high 172,000
recorded in March. Nearly half a million illegal crossers have been shuttled through the immigration system and released into the U.S. since Biden assumed
office, and countless thousands more have come in undetected. Within a few days of arrival most migrants "have legal documents, and are sent on their way
to all four corners of the United States," according to Todd Bensman, a fellow with the Center for Immigration Studies who is stationed at the Texas-Mexico border.
On his first day in office, Biden took major steps to reverse Trump border policies, including:
Migrant Encounters at Southwest Border Jump 944 Percent over April 2020. The number of migrants encountered by officers and agents operating under U.S. Customs and Border Protection along the southwest border with Mexico jumped for the 11th straight month. In April, Border Patrol agents and CBP officers encountered more than 178,000 migrants — a nearly 945 percent increase over the same month in 2020. CBP officers and Border Patrol agents encountered more than 178,000 migrants in April 2021. This represents an increase of three percent over the record spike in March and a 944 percent increase over April 2020's reported 17,106 encounters, according to a source operating under the umbrella of U.S. Customs and Border Protection not authorized to speak publicly on the numbers. Extraordinary immigration charts show how Biden's inauguration triggered surge in migration. New charts reveals exactly how Joe Biden's inauguration triggered a surge of immigrants arriving at the southern border, despite repeated claims from administration officials that they inherited a broken system. The graphs — showing that border detentions and child arrivals dropped to their lowest level in years at the end of 2020 before rocketing as soon as Biden took office — derailed efforts by the top U.S. homeland security official to deliver a rosy message when he appeared before senators on Thursday [5/13/2021]. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was forced on the defensive after Sen. Ron Johnson produced his dramatic red chart displaying 'border apprehensions.' Republicans demand answers about Biden administration no-bid contracts for housing migrants. Top House Republicans are seeking internal correspondence between Biden administration officials overseeing the response to the border crisis and the organization to which it awarded $617 million in no-bid contracts for housing migrants, according to documents obtained by the Washington Examiner. As the border crisis began in February, the government opted to house migrant families and children in hotels rather than in existing facilities. Republicans say that the decision is costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars that do not need to be spent and that they are concerned about the contractor's insider connection to the White House. Biden [is] pushing out [the] second-highest US border official. The Biden administration is pushing out the most senior career official at the country's largest law enforcement agency, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, according to two people with firsthand knowledge. Political appointees at the Department of Homeland Security chose not to keep CBP Deputy Commissioner Robert Perez on as the second in command of the federal agency. Perez was promoted to his position at CBP headquarters in Washington in July 2018 and oversaw operations of trade, travel, immigration, and national security at land, air, and sea borders. Biden officials attempted to demote Perez, a 29-year federal law enforcement officer, by transferring him to an office in Tucson, Arizona. Perez now plans to retire, the people said. Arizona attorney general urges Biden to remove Kamala Harris as 'border czar'. The Arizona attorney general urged President Joe Biden to remove Vice President Kamala Harris as the border czar in a letter Wednesday [5/12/2021]. Attorney General Mark Brnovich requested in his letter that Harris be replaced as the overseer of the border due to the ongoing migrant crisis. Brnovich criticized Harris for not making a visit to the border and called her response to the crisis a "slap in the face" to the citizens of Arizona. White House: Joe Biden Focused on Making Life Better for Migrants, Not Visiting the Border. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that President Joe Biden was focused on making life better for unattended migrant minors on the border, not traveling to the southern border to address the crisis. "Our focus remains on solutions," she said at the White House daily press briefing. She dismissed calls for President Biden to visit the southern border to address the crisis, arguing it would not help the children found unattended on the border. "If going to the border changed that or helped that, that would be one thing, but our focus is on implementing pieces so we can make their lives better," she said. Deputy White House director said ICE 'doesn't have to exist,' told protesters to 'shut-it-down'. The Biden White House's new deputy director for political strategy and outreach encouraged people to "look up your nearest ICE office and shut-it-down" and said ICE "doesn't have to exist" in 2018 tweets. "If you're looking for a way to help — look up your nearest ICE office and shut-it-down," Natalie Montelongo wrote on Twitter on June 21, 2018, in response to a story about anti-ICE protests in Portland. 178,622 attempted to cross US-Mexico border illegally in April, the most in two decades. Federal law enforcement at the U.S.-Mexico border stopped 178,622 people trying to enter the country illegally in April, the highest amount in more than two decades. The April total is up 3% from 172,331 in March, which was a 20-year high for the number of people who tried to get into the United States by sneaking over between land crossings or were denied entry at border checkpoints. Roughly 5,160 of the 178,622 people encountered were denied entry at a port of entry, while the remainder went across the border in unfenced areas. Biden to Provide Taxpayer-Funded Grants to Illegal Aliens. Every politician takes care of his base. Biden's base just happens to be illegal. [...] Democrats and their media are perversely celebrating taxpayer money being stolen for the use of foreign students, criminals, and illegal aliens. That, in a nutshell, is what the Democrats stand for. Texas Border Patrol agents spend less than 50% of time patrolling border amid migrant surge. Border Patrol agents in some of the hardest-hit areas of the migrant surge are being pulled off the front lines and spending most of their time processing and taking care of illegal immigrants, according to law enforcement officials who ticked off the grim statistics of the situation for The Washington Times. The Del Rio sector of Texas says assaults on agents have doubled compared with last year, and high-speed pursuits are up 40%. Arrests of migrants with sex offense records are up more than 2,500% in the sector, a region of the border that was relatively quiet for the past decade but became a major crossing point this year after the Biden administration erased get-tough policies. I Spoke With Residents at the Border. American Citizens Are Paying Criminal Costs Because of Biden's Policies. The flood of illegal immigrants from across the southern border is only one of many threats to America's national security that have increased recently, thanks to the Biden administration's contempt for the rule of law. The administration's actions at the border have left federal and local law enforcement, large-scale ranchers and small businesses, and families and homeowners bewildered — wondering why their government would leave them so vulnerable — in what was described by Arizona rancher John Ladd as the worst criminal activity at the border that he has ever seen. A third-generation rancher, Ladd told me that the full truth about President Joe Biden's border policies is rarely reported. "The caliber of people that are coming now are criminals, what we are getting are not maids and gardeners, these people are working for the cartel," he said in an interview with me. Biden 'sue & settle' scheme: fly deported illegals back to US, give reparations. The Biden administration is looking to happily 'settle" with the ACLU over 1,000 [for now] illegal aliens who were deported under Donald Trump. The government will fly them back to the US and give them compensation/reparations from taxpayer-funded benefits. This is a sham. This is more of the Obama 'sue and settle' scheme where some far-left group sues the government as the administration smiles and winks. The next step is the government gladly settling because the far-left group is doing exactly what they want. It's a great way to avoid Congress if you don't want to be bothered and prefer dictatorship. White House official fesses up that Biden admin 'had a plan from the beginning' on migrant surge. President Joe Biden's administration finally fessed up to the cause of the crisis at the border, brought about by the influx of unaccompanied children arriving in the United States in droves since Biden took office. That was the plan all along. The Editor says... Rep. Henry Cuellar, one of Biden's harshest critics on the migrant surge, is urging White House to listen to border towns. In a small park nestled between the Rio Grande River and an outlet mall, Rep. Henry Cuellar stood under a tree — one of the few spots offering relief from the sun on this 101-degree April afternoon — as he looked across the border towards Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. [...] "In Laredo, you have people that are trying to evade, single male adults, you got stash houses, you got people that are being crammed in the 18 wheelers," he said during an interview with USA TODAY. "So a lot of times people only see the one that pulls out or at our heart, and that is the unaccompanied kids and the family. But what about the darker side? There is a darker side." Amnesty *and* "reparations" for deported illegal aliens? Of course, under the Biden administration, most of that activity has ground to a halt and our ICE and Border Patrol agents are probably sharpening up their skills at playing solitaire. But what about the illegal aliens who were deported while Donald Trump was still in office? President Joe Biden is apparently not satisfied with simply ending the previous administration's border control policies, but is looking to actually reverse some of the progress that had been made. The White House is reportedly in negotiations with the American Civil Liberty Union who are representing more than 1,000 deported illegals who have children inside our country under the protection of Health and Human Services. They are proposing that the taxpayers pay to fly the deported parents back to the United States, grant them amnesty and some sort of legal resident status, reunite them with the children and then pay them "reparations" for the trouble they've been put through. Border In Chaos: 17 Texas Counties Declare Emergencies, Border Patrol Dismantles Multiple Human Smuggling Operations. Earlier this week, PJ Media was the first to report that 12 Texas counties have declared emergencies due to the chaos the Biden border policies are causing. Since then, we have learned that four more counties have declared emergencies, bringing the total to 17. The additional counties that have or are set to declare emergencies are Davis, Medina, Terrell, Val Verde, and Live Oak. The land area these counties cover includes regions well away from the border and is larger than many whole states. Toward a National Liberation Movement. Domestic tyrants prefer sealed borders to shut subjects in and keep strangers out. Forts, fences, checkpoints, and minefields bear witness to these concerns. Colonialists on the other hand have been avid importers of people. Some, usually from the homeland, strengthen their base of political support. Others, slaves and "coolies," are brought in to provide cheap labor. In both instances, the aim is a more tractable and profitable population, successfully achieved during the early colonization of the Americas. The same phenomenon is transforming the United States today. Kamala Harris Doesn't Care About Solving the Border Crisis. With the exception of those who may have glanced at the February edition of Vogue magazine or recently browsed the New York Times style section, we have not seen or heard much from Kamala Harris since she was sworn in as the 49th vice president of the United States on January 20. We did, however, learn from the Washington Post that Harris likes to crochet and that she recently "learned about a special hand-dyed yarn" after visiting a knitting shop in Alexandria, Virginia. On March 24, the vice president's low visibility seemed likely to change when President Biden tapped Harris to lead the ongoing border crisis that has spiraled out of control since his Executive Orders (EOs) on immigration have reversed many of former President Trump's immigration policies, including Trump's "zero tolerance" stance on prosecuting illegal border crossings. Harris is the "most qualified person" to lead the effort, Biden said after anointing the vice president the border czar. There Is No Crisis. Among the biggest elephants in the White House briefing room is the border. Until recently, press secretary Jen Psaki just told the truth about it. "There is no crisis at the border," she said. And of course there isn't, from where she stands. It's all going according to plan: encourage as many immigrants as possible to enter U.S. illegally, where they will eventually become citizens (or not), and vote reliably Democrat for two generations. Pretty simple, really. [...] No nation with a comprehensive network of social welfare programs can accommodate infinite numbers of immigrants. When limits set by Congress are overruled by a macabre episode of "Survivor" set in the Mexican desert, the impact on entitlement programs, as well as schools, hospitals, and law enforcement is immediate. An impact on jobs is a given. The only question is how great it will be.
How TSA Explains Allowing Illegal Immigrants to Fly With You. The Transportation Security Administration has an "established process" for identifying illegal immigrants who board domestic flights to a new home in America, a spokeswoman told The Daily Signal, although the Biden administration formally refers to this population as "undocumented." The TSA was responding to a Daily Signal report Friday about such commercial flights carrying illegal aliens — specifically one that departed McAllen International Airport in Texas the day before — and the security waiver necessary for them to board without showing required identification. Amid the new surge of illegal immigrants at the southern border, the Biden administration has facilitated putting some of them on flights to cross the United States to new destinations at taxpayers' expense. Border Patrol Chief Makes Huge Revelation Days After Biden Declared Crisis Under 'Control'. Not long after Joe Biden claimed the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border is "under control," new data reveals that Biden could not be further from the truth. Chief Patrol Agent Chris Clem tweeted that the Yuma Sector, which stretches across Arizona's border with Mexico, apprehended over 1,600 illegal immigrants over the weekend. And that is just at one major border sector. There are dozens more. [...] Biden's border crisis continues to get worse by the day. A new report reveals that the administration is apprehending nearly 6,000 illegal immigrants a day at the U.S.-Mexico border. Jen Psaki Starts Press Briefing With Major Whopper About the Border Crisis, Here Are the Actual Facts. On more than one occasion, Psaki has straight-up lied about various elements of the Biden border crisis, most notably about the fact that there even is a crisis. The gaslighting has simply been off the charts with this administration on this issue, and they should not be allowed to get away with it. As per the norm, it happened earlier today during the daily press briefing. Psaki started things off by declaring that the rush of migrants to the border started under the Trump administration, and claimed the Biden administration was working hard to solve the problem Trump allegedly "exacerbated." A complete inversion of the truth: Biden Raises Refugee Cap to 62,500. President Joe Biden said on Monday [5/3/2021] he has resurrected a plan to raise refugee admissions this year to 62,500 after initially keeping the refugee cap at a historically low level. [...] Biden formally reversed himself just two weeks after his administration announced it would keep the cap at the 15,000 level set by former President Donald Trump. Felons, detainees released to the streets, not being picked up by immigration officials. Undocumented, locked up and facing deportation — but not so fast. Our Investigation has found some detainees or convicted felons have been released to the streets instead of being picked up by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement or ICE. [Video clip] As Fox San Antonio uncovered at least 36 inmates at the Bexar County Jail had to be released even though they had an ICE detainer. That detainer as Aristides Jimenez, the former agent in-charge of South Texas Homeland Security Investigations, explains means that they are released directly to ICE custody. But when the detainer is lifted these people go free instead of being deported. Migrant 'Got-Away' Total Exceeds 185K this Year, Says Source. A law enforcement source within Customs and Border Protection says more than 185,000 migrants escaped Border Patrol apprehension so far this fiscal year. On average, more than 30,000 illegal aliens avoided capture in the last 22 days the source said. Breitbart Texas reported in mid-April, the "got-away" total exceeded more than 155,000 leaving Border Patrol leadership frustrated. Last year, 69,000 illegal migrants managed to avoid apprehension by the Border Patrol. In just over seven months of this fiscal year, which began on October 1, 2020, the number of "got-aways" nearly tripled last year's totals. Sources report the sharpest increase began in January. The Editor says... Biden confirms he WILL raise refugee cap from 15,000 to 62,500 this year. President Joe Biden has confirmed he will raise the cap on refugees allowed into the U.S. from 15,000 to 62,500 this year after facing stark criticism from his own party. The administration had previously announced an effort to raise the cap up from 15,000 after getting blasted by critics including Democratic 'squad' members Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. The series of U-turns came to a head in April, when the administration had indicated it would move to raise the cap — days after initially justifying a 15,000 figure for the current fiscal year from the holdover Trump administration. Over 1,000 US Bound Migrants [are] Living On The Streets Of Tijuana, Mexico. The Daily Caller's Jorge Ventura visited a migrant camp in Tijuana, Mexico, to give an exclusive look into the inside the gathering. More than 1,000 migrants are living in the makeshift camp and told Ventura they want to seek asylum in the U.S. but have not been allowed to enter. The facility has been open for approximately three months. Businesses located just across the street told Ventura the overwhelming migrant presence was affecting their business and that they've essentially lost all customers who don't want to venture to the area due to the migrants. Ventura reported that there were more than 500 tents at the camp. Illegal Immigrants Fly American, Courtesy of Biden Border Policy. About 14 separate families or groups of illegal immigrants boarded a flight Thursday at McAllen International Airport in Texas, the man in charge of border security during the Trump administration told The Daily Signal. Mark Morgan, former commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, said he watched from a nearby seat as the illegal immigrants boarded the American Airlines flight just after 3 p.m. CDT at the airport of the border town. "By the eighth or ninth family is when I decided to take pictures," Morgan told The Daily Signal on Friday. "I decided to take a video when I saw a large family with an infant child." The blues are getting worried about the border mess. Over the last few weeks, we've heard from a lot of border mayors and congressmen about the mess in their neighborhood. My guess is that a lot of them would have preferred for V.P. Harris to come to Laredo, Texas instead of having a virtual talk with the President of Guatemala. Anyway, it's not surprising that blues are starting to complain about the Biden policy, especially those facing re-election in 2022 like Senator Mark Kelly in Arizona. President Biden said nothing of consequence about the border the other night, and the blues are not happy. Biden's First Hundred Days: A Failing Report Card. [Scroll down] Then there's Biden's disaster on the southern border. Biden's stopping border wall construction and his restrictions on deportations have created a humanitarian crisis for the thousands of unaccompanied minors who have crossed the border in response to Biden's welcome mat. They currently huddle together in temporary shelters, a high percentage infected with COVID, many of whom will be released to infect citizens. Biden's border policies have been a bonanza for the Mexican cartels, both financially and in terms of sexual exploitation of female migrants. Moreover, because the crisis of the unaccompanied minors has drawn border patrol agents away from policing the border, and because of the gaps left when Biden halted border-wall construction, the cartels now can easily smuggle in drugs, gang members, sex offenders, and potential terrorists. Just 8% of Americans favor unlimited immigration. Among Americans, a hefty majority say that the total number of immigrants admitted to the U.S. each year should be 1 million or less according to a substantial new survey from the Cato Institute. Only 8% of the respondents agreed that "as many as want to come should be allowed in the U.S." — while 9% said the number admitted should be zero, as in "0." Here are the essential findings: 19% of the respondents a year would prefer 1 million immigrants be admitted; 17% said 500,000, while 16% said 25,000. Another 12% favored 100,000; 7% said 50,000 was the preferred number. Just 3% were comfortable with admitting 5 million immigrants in a year, while 1% favored admitting 10 million. Count of Illegal Alien Population Excluded from U.S. Census Data. An estimation of the number of illegal aliens living in the United States is excluded from early data released this week by the U.S. Census Bureau thanks to executive orders from President Joe Biden. Census Bureau officials released population totals this week, revealing that the U.S. population stands at about 331,449,281 residents, adding more than 22,700,000 residents since 2010. Still unknown is how many of those nearly 331.5 million U.S. residents are illegal aliens. Eighteen-wheelers unloading migrants and drugs, and 'cartels are having a field day'. "It's never been this busy," one agent told Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies. He has been on the border charting the impact of Biden's border-opening policies, dubbed "la invitacion" by illegal immigrants. Bensman wrote in a new report, "Eighteen-wheeler tractor-trailer rigs and trucks of all sizes now pull right up to the river in unending succession to unload people and drug cargo in broad daylight along the long empty stretches of riverside territory. Police chases of immigrant transport vehicles are now commonplace in towns further inland for the first time. And border patrol agents, largely unreinforced despite new circumstances, are chasing groups through the desert day and night, losing most and strained beyond capacity to impact what's happening, they say." 'We're Being Overrun,' Arizona Lawmaker Says of Border Crisis. Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., says his state is being overwhelmed by the crisis at the southern border. "We're being overrun," Gosar tells The Daily Signal. "I mean, I was down in Yuma a week and a half ago, and we saw 'coyotes' just bring children over and just give themselves up. One 'coyote,' in the evening, she brought in two young boys, [ages] 7 and 10, and five girls, 11 to 17," he says. "None of them were related. They were being overwhelmed. And you saw the mayor of Gila County basically say they have 'no room at the inn.' They have run out of resources," the Arizona Republican adds. The White House Declares Everything A 'Crisis' Except The One At The Border. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki walked back President Joe Biden's comments last week claiming the number of unaccompanied minors crossing the border is a "crisis." Psaki said, "The president does not feel that children coming to our border seeking refuge from violence, economic hardships, and other dire circumstances is a crisis." The Biden administration has continually refused to acknowledge that significantly higher numbers of migrants coming to the United States constitutes a threat or surge, but has swiftly characterized numerous other things as crises. For starters, there is an immigration crisis ensuing in America. More than 172,000 migrants were encountered at the border in March alone, compared to a little more than 34,000 migrants encountered in March 2020. US to send $310M to Central America, train Guatemala 'task force': Kamala Harris. The United States will send an additional $310 million in aid to the Northern Triangle countries and train a Guatemalan "task force" in an effort to upend the migrant crisis overwhelming authorities at the southern border, Vice President Kamala Harris announced. The announcement came in a statement Monday from Harris' chief spokeswoman and senior adviser Symone Sanders after the VP's meeting with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei. "In light of the dire situation and acute suffering faced by millions of people in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, Vice President Harris announced an additional $310 million in U.S. government support for humanitarian relief and to address food insecurity," a portion of Sanders' statement read. Of the $310 million, $255 million will go toward humanitarian relief while $55 million will address food insecurity in the region. Questions for Kamala:
Kamala's Kinsley gaffe on border policy. On whose behalf does Kamala Harris work? She seems to have unintentionally provided the answer yesterday. Liberal pundit Michael Kinsley gained a degree of immortality when he wrote, "A gaffe is when a politician tells the truth — some obvious truth he isn't supposed to say." Yesterday, VP Kamala Harris, speaking about her planned video meetings today with Guatemalan "community leaders," revealed her true priorities, and they don't make the interests of American citizens her top concern: [Video clip] Biden Administration Stops Fines For Illegal Immigrants Who Fail To Leave US, Cancels Their Debt. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Friday that fines for illegal immigrants who fail to leave the United States would cease, according to a DHS press release. At the direction of Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) rescinded two delegation orders relating to financial penalties. The fines, which were first put in place in 2018 by the Trump administration, collected "civil financial penalties for noncitizens who fail[ed] to depart the U.S," according to the press release. ICE Delegation No. 006-2020, "Delegation of Authority to Administer Certain Provisions Relating to Civil Penalties for Failure to Depart," was deemed as counterintuitive "to the agency's best interests." Unaccompanied Alien Children Given Copy of Kamala Harris Book Upon Arrival — Same Process Baltimore Mayor Was Arrested For. Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh was arrested for using her authorship of a book as a pay-to-play scheme for personal financial gain. In what appears to be a similar situation, unaccompanied alien children (UAC's) are being given a book authored by Kamala Harris. [...] You can be sure that if Trump books were being purchased with taxpayer funds to be distributed to thousands of people, the leftists would immediately demand an investigation. However, when Kamala Harris does it... crickets. They could be, but they won't. Texas A.G. gets a legal assist from Trump's immigration hawk in lawsuit over COVID-19 risk at border. Texas was the first state to sue the Biden administration. That lawsuit was over Biden's executive order to put a freeze on deportations of illegal immigrants. Additional lawsuits followed the first one. The lawsuits included one which demands that Biden reinstate Trump's Remain-in-Mexico policy. That agreement with Mexico was very successful in easing the flood of migrants entering Texas, overwhelming border patrol personnel and law enforcement officers. Rest assured, Paxton will be a frequent filer. COVID-19 is a threat at overcrowded border facilities and intake shelters. Large numbers of migrants are being released and put on buses to other locations in Texas or out of state though they test positive for COVID-19. Border patrol agents have been unable to keep up with the heavy demand for testing illegal migrants as they enter the United States. Biden Admin Cancels Fines For Illegal Aliens Who Fail To Leave U.S.: Doesn't Serve Our 'Best Interest'. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced on Friday that he directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to cancel fining illegal aliens who fail to leave the United States, claiming that fining people who are illegally in the U.S. runs "counter to the agency's best interest." "There is no indication that these penalties promoted compliance with noncitizens' departure obligations," Mayorkas said. "We can enforce our immigration laws without resorting to ineffective and unnecessary punitive measures." There are no "climate migrants."
The climate on this side of the border is the same as the climate to the south. US pays child migrant sponsors to travel to the border: report. The government is paying travel costs for sponsors trying to pick up migrant children from shelters, amid the surge of unaccompanied children seeking asylum at the border. The policy underscores the White House's urgency to get the children out of beleaguered and overcrowded shelters, according to Axios. About 275 minor migrants have been arriving at the southern border from Central America everyday, and about 20,000 are reportedly in federal custody. The US is not turning them away for humanitarian reasons. The Editor says... Migrants living in hotels under $86.9M taxpayer-funded ICE contract are seen being picked up from an Arizona Holiday Inn and taken to the airport. New video and images show groups of migrants being taken from an Arizona Holiday Inn that has been converted into a shelter and being dropped off at an airport. The footage shared with DailyMail.com by Arizona Republican Rep. Andy Biggs purportedly shows children and adults who have recently crossed the border getting onto buses at the hotel in Chandler en route to catch flights. The hotel is one of seven Immigration and Customs Enforcement have taken over as part of an $86.9 million to house 1,200 migrants until September to ease the overflowing detention facilities. Conservative Group Targets Kamala Harris with 'Wrong Border' Newspaper Ad. Vice President Kamala Harris made a trip to New Hampshire Friday where she was greeted by Republican Gov. Chris Sununu and a newspaper ad criticizing her unwillingness to travel to the southern border. The ad, which has been purchased by the Independent Leadership for New Hampshire PAC, features a photo of Kamala with a headline that reads, "Madame Vice President, you're on the wrong border." "Over 2,000 miles away, a humanitarian crisis on the nation's southern border demands your attention," the advertisement states, including facts about the crisis at the border, like "172,331 border apprehensions in March alone" and "Over 20,000 unaccompanied migrant children in U.S. custody." Senate Republicans, Democrats Meet to Discuss Amnesty for Illegal Aliens. A group of Senate Republicans and Democrats met privately this week to discuss striking a deal on immigration — mainly on providing amnesty to potentially millions of illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for former President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) led a meeting with 12 other Senate Republicans and Democrats to explore the possibility of passing an amnesty to give legal status to 3.5 million enrolled and eligible DACA illegal aliens. Biden rings another dinner triangle for illegals to surge on in. In the midst of a border crisis he claims isn't happening, Joe Biden has a peculiar means of stopping it: By inviting more of them in. Climate refugees? Really? Arizona Gov. Ducey Declares Border Emergency Because Biden Won't. Biden's only contributions to the situation thus far were first to put Vice President Kamala Harris in charge of it, only to have her promptly disappear. He then decided to alleviate the humanitarian crisis by ordering law enforcement to use more "inclusive language" when referring to illegal aliens. Ducey said he was issuing a Declaration of Emergency and deploying the Arizona National Guard to the border. While making the announcement, Ducey made no effort to hide his irritation and frustration with the Biden administration, saying, "It's clear that they have no plan. They can't even agree whether this is a crisis or not." Once more, with feeling: it is most definitely a crisis. Democrats Could End Border Crisis Quickly. Instead, They're Making It Worse. President Joe Biden inherited the most secure southern border in American history. Under the Trump-Pence administration, we built more than 450 miles of the world's most robust border wall, reducing illegal crossings by over 90%. We abolished the absurd practice of "catch and release." We ended asylum fraud through a groundbreaking partnership with Mexico known as the Migrant Protection Protocols, requiring illegal aliens who are seeking asylum to remain in Mexico while their cases are adjudicated. And during the pandemic, we authorized sweeping emergency measures to immediately remove virtually every illegal immigrant apprehended at the southern border, to protect the health and safety of American citizens. For years, politicians promised to secure the border. Under the last administration, we delivered. And yet, in just three short months, the Biden administration and Democrats in Congress have unleashed the worst border crisis in the history of our country. Border cartels use TikTok, social media to recruit American teens to smuggle migrants for cash. Cartels at the southern border are targeting American teenagers on social media to get them to do their dirty work of smuggling illegal immigrants into the U.S. — the latest sign of the escalating chaos at the border. Images obtained by Fox News shows the ads cartels are using on social media apps like TikTok, where they offer more than $3,000 a ride for teens and young adults to come drive smuggled migrants into the U.S. when they reach the border. ICE Officers Instructed to Censor Arrest Reports Per New Biden Policy. An ICE Enforcement and Removal officer revealed to Breitbart Texas a recent email disseminating instructions to censor reports when listing particular facts involving the incarceration of criminal aliens. The email tells officers to redact information prior to submission to Immigration Courts or the public as part of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The source, who wished to remain anonymous, believes the instructions are designed to hide the full truth when criminal aliens are released instead of deported and then commit subsequent crimes. Isn't this what the RICO laws are for? If they HAD been wearing masks, they'd probably be dead. Unbearable conditions like this are usually seen only in Japanese commuter trains! The Editor says... Joe Biden Has Already Betrayed The Christians Who Voted For Him As The 'More Moral' Candidate. Many Christians are feeling frustrated with the Biden administration. A recent op-ed in the Wall Street Journal points to how Joe Biden's flip-flop on refugees is frustrating evangelicals who foolishly voted for him last November. As the Journal contributor noted, they have a reason to feel betrayed. Believers who care about values, life, and religious liberty continue to find that the new administration has let them down time and time again. While Biden may attend Mass regularly, many of his policy positions raise questions of how diligently he practices his Catholic faith outside the four walls of his church. The Journal op-ed, written by Sheila Joiner of Fort Worth, Texas, said she voted for Biden in large part because of his promise to restore the refugee resettlement program. Last fall Biden pledged to raise the annual cap on refugees to 125,000, a move that in Joiner's words "sold" her on his candidacy. But in the space of a few hours last Friday, the Biden administration went through a very public flip-flop on the issue. Joe Biden Is The Worst President Ever On Immigration. We thought it was a breakthrough of sorts when President Joe Biden finally threw in the towel and admitted he had created a "crisis" on the nation's border. Alas, just one day later, the White House issued a "clarification." He was really just talking about Central America, not the border. So it's now official: Biden is the worst president for protecting our border ever. We don't take that charge lightly. But how else can you describe a man who takes a problem that was for all intents and purposes fixed and, within the space of a mere three months, turns it back into a catastrophe? It's sheer border policy incompetence. White House spokesperson Jen Psaki, who executes a high-speed 180-degree spin-turn better than anyone outside of NASCAR, said, "the president does not feel that children coming to our border ... is a crisis". 'Unbearable' conditions push Biden administration to close Houston migrant center. The Biden administration over the weekend shuttered a Houston warehouse that housed unaccompanied migrant children following allegations that the nonprofit organization running the site failed to provide adequate living conditions for hundreds of young girls, multiple sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) opened the warehouse early this month in response to the surge of migrants arriving at the southern border. Exclusive video shot by ABC News showed buses removing more than 100 girls from the emergency intake center on Saturday. Until its closure, the facility had been run by a Houston-based nonprofit with no prior experience housing unaccompanied migrant children. Facility housing migrant girls mysteriously shut down after death of HHS staffer, report on crowding. The only notice that a migrant facility for girls in Texas was set to close was the buses rolling up on Saturday morning [4/17/2021] to take the girls away, according to the site sponsor. The fact that it came after the Houston Chronicle reported that a Dept. of Health and Human Services staffer died at the facility Friday night makes the incident that much more curious — the death was reportedly unrelated to the transfer of the girls. "We actually found out when we started seeing these buses arriving this morning," said Pastor Jose Ortega with the site's sponsor organization, the National Association of Christian Churches. 'Subsidizing Human Trafficking': Lara Logan Says Biden Admin Uses Taxpayer Dollars To Enable Smugglers. Fox Nation host Lara Logan said Saturday [4/17/2021] that the Biden administration's border polices amount to "subsidizing human trafficking of children and adults." "We are subsidizing human trafficking of children and adults: men and women," Logan told Fox News' "Watters' World[.]" "The administration uses taxpayer dollars — your money, my money — every taxpayer in America. When they use their funds to transport these kids all over the country and send them into different markets, different areas first to live in for the cartels, different markets for sex trafficking and other cartel activity," Logan continued. Biden: There are no more 'illegal aliens' in America. In its latest redefinition of terms, the Biden administration on Monday ordered federal agencies to refer to "illegal aliens" as the "undocumented." Fox News reported the order came in the form of memos to the leaders of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The agencies must avoid the terms "illegal alien," "alien" and "assimilation." Instead, they should use "noncitizen or migrant," "undocumented" and "integration." The new language obscures the fact that noncitizens, designated by federal law as "aliens," who enter the United States without permission have engaged in an illegal act. A federal law uses the term "illegal alien." Joe Biden Now Describes Migrant Rush on the Border as a 'Crisis'. President Joe Biden finally described the rush of unaccompanied minor migrants to the border as a "crisis" on Saturday [4/17/2021], despite himself and members of his administration previously refusing to use the word to describe the situation. Biden spoke to reporters about the border crisis after a round of golf at the Delaware Country Club on Saturday. He commented on the crisis as he explained why he reversed his position on raising the caps set by former President Donald Trump on refugees. [...] Preliminary data shows more than 18,500 unaccompanied children crossed the border in March, 60 percent more than the previous record of 11,494 in May 2019. Border Agents Ordered to Abandon DNA Tests That Trump Used To Identify 'Fake Families'. The Biden administration is directing Border Patrol agents to dramatically decrease using DNA tests on apprehended migrants at the border, which was used by the Trump administration to identify "fake families." Border officials are now administering fewer rapid DNA tests among migrant families amid as the border crisis is raging under Joe Biden. Border agents performing fewer DNA tests to catch fake families under Biden. The Biden administration is running few DNA tests on migrant families encountered at the southern border despite smugglers' tendency to hide "fake" families in with the legitimate groups. Border officials are conducting fewer rapid DNA tests among migrant families amid soaring numbers of family arrivals than they did during the 2019 border crisis when the same number of families was being encountered each month, according to Homeland Security data obtained by the Washington Examiner. More than 52,000 people came across the southern border as part of a family group in March, and no more than a few dozen people took rapid DNA tests to verify the adult and child were related, based on the federal numbers. The Issue Americans Care More About Than Coronavirus. As the immigration crisis worsens, Republicans have been especially critical of Vice President Kamala Harris, who was tapped last month to be the point person in addressing the root causes of the border crisis. She has yet to visit the border but announced Wednesday [4/14/2021] she'd be traveling to the Northern Triangle "soon." "It has been 3 weeks since President Biden appointed VP Harris to oversee the border. Since then, the crisis has only continued to spiral out of control," House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said on Twitter this week. "The VP has not traveled to the border, held a press conference, or offered ANY plan to mitigate the ongoing crisis." Guatemala: We have no idea what Biden and Harris are talking about. On Monday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced some good news on the illegal immigration front. A deal had been struck with Guatemala, also involving Mexico and Honduras, wherein they would increase the number of troops and security personnel along their border and frequently used migration routes to stem the flow of migrants heading north. She went on to say that Guatemala had "surged 1,500 police and military personnel" to the border with Honduras as part of this effort. So that's good news, right? It doesn't do anything about the crowds currently amassed at the US-Mexico border, but if you can slow down the next wave, that's better than nothing. Joe Biden's Border Chaos Crashes His Poll Numbers. President Joe Biden's half-open, half-closed border is creating chaos south of the border and is pulverizing his support among Latino and independents likely voters north of the border. Biden's policies have gotten him 64 percent disapproval among independents, and 55 percent disapproval among Latinos, according to a Quinnipiac poll of 1,237 adults, conducted April 8-12. Just 22 percent of swing-voting independents and 27 percent of Latinos support Biden's policy to extricate hundreds of thousands of migrants from their countries into a Hunger Games-style obstacle course, so they can be used in the U.S. economy. Even
Congress Doesn't Know Where Illegal Immigrants Are Being Shipped Throughout The U.S.. Illegal immigrants
flooding across the border are being dispersed throughout the U.S., often by government officials — but even
Congress doesn't know where they're ending up, according to a Thursday [4/15/2021] letter from Republican lawmakers. A
letter sent to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Department of Health and Human Services
Secretary Xavier Becerra, and signed by thirty-three Republican congressman, requested: Kat Cammack to Newsmax TV: Mayorkas 'Too Scared, Too Cowardly' to Face Border Agents. Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., told Newsmax TV on Thursday [4/15/2021] that Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas was "too scared" and "too cowardly" to meet with Border Patrol agents face-to-face during his last trip to the Southwest border. Cammack said on "American Agenda" that "as an American citizen, this is outrageous that all this finger pointing is going on. Oh, it's this person's responsibility, that person's responsibility. The American people elected this administration to lead so they need to step up and do just that." The congresswoman claimed that Mayorkas "never left the airport" during his recent trip to Texas, where Fox News reports he met with sheriffs in El Paso and agreed to regular meetings with Sheriff Mark Dannels, who chairs the National Sheriffs Association Border Security Committee. This was the secretary's third trip to the border since February, according to Fox News. Jen Psaki calls 'confusion' surrounding Kamala Harris' role in dealing with the migrant crisis 'perplexing' as she says immigration policy has never been a 'one-woman' job. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday [4/15/2021] that the 'confusion' surrounding Vice President Kamala Harris' role in dealing with the migrant crisis is 'perplexing,' arguging immigration policy has never been a 'one-woman' job. During Thursday's briefing, a reporter pointed to criticism of Harris coming from Republicans and asked if the White House viewed the vice president's diplomatic role as being 'disconnected' from the border. Kamala Harris comes out of the woodwork with her plan to solve all those 'root causes' of migrant surge. After appearing on milk carton memes from Republicans mocking her as AWOL in being Joe Biden's border crisis czar, Kamala Harris has dropped her crocheting, snacking, and home decor battles to bring herself out of the woodwork. Wednesday [4/14/2021], she held a press conference and Zoom-like roundtable on just what she plans to do about the migrant surge at the border, looking for all those "root causes." [...] Where does that sense of entitlement to live in the U.S. come from in these surging illegal migrants? Who gives it to them? Maybe it comes from radicals in Joe's own party? It would explain why Kamala doesn't want to find out what she should find out of the root causes of the border surge straight from the illegals themselves. She wouldn't be publicly comfortable with the answer. Because yes, that's a root cause — an amazing sense of entitlement to live in the U.S. without waiting in line, let alone contributing, a "right" to partake in the life of the U.S. and all proffered benefits. No, the border is dirty and dusty and full of political hazards with cameras as migrant surgers come in at the unguarded border under some of the most inhuman conditions. 2nd Texas Child Migrant Shelter Under Scrutiny amid Sex Abuse, COVID Concerns. Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) sent a letter last week to Vice President Kamala Harris, demanding the Biden Administration close the Health and Human Services Emergency Intake Site (EIS) for unaccompanied migrant children located at the Freeman Expo Center in San Antonio. In new developments, law enforcement sources say authorities are now looking at conditions at another facility in the Rio Grande Valley. A law enforcement source within CBP, speaking on a condition of anonymity, says Texas Rangers visited the Donna facility in recent days to investigate conditions. Rangers conduct major violent crime, public corruption, cold case, and officer-involved shooting investigations. They also oversee the Texas Department of Public Safety's border security and crisis negotiation programs. Biden Releases 6.4K 'Remain in Mexico' Migrants into U.S. with Route to Secure Work Permits. President Joe Biden's administration has released more than 6,400 migrants enrolled in the now-defunct "Remain in Mexico" program into the United States interior, offering them work permits to take American jobs, Breitbart News has learned. After taking office in January, Biden ended the Remain in Mexico program, which had proven remarkably effective in eliminating the Catch and Release policy whereby border crossers are apprehended and subsequently released into the U.S. interior while awaiting their asylum hearings. As of February, of the more than 71,000 asylum cases under Remain in Mexico, less than one percent of foreign nationals were found to have a legitimate asylum claim. ICE priority arrests [are] down 75% under Biden. ICE made 75% fewer priority arrests over the first seven weeks of the Biden administration than during the same period last year, according to data obtained by The Washington Times that shows even the highest-ranking cases involving national security or public safety have seen significant drops. The drops come as the new administration says it wants to marshal limited resources at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to focus on bad actors instead of rank-and-file illegal immigrants. It's fulfilled that latter promise, but appears to be struggling to find the bad actors. Border crisis is becoming Biden's Achilles' heel. Immigration has emerged as a weak point for President Joe Biden as he presides over one of the largest migrant surges at the southern border in years, a crisis showing little sign of abating. More than 172,000 migrants rushed the border last month alone, based on government apprehension statistics. That number included nearly 19,000 unaccompanied minors. While the White House has blamed a number of different factors for the border problem — weather, conditions in the migrants' home countries, the reality of occasional surges that happen under presidents of both parties — the Biden administration has conceded that the "hope" created by its approach to immigration policy has played a role. Tucker's magnificent statement about Democrats disenfranchising Americans. [Scroll down] During his 20-minute opening monologue, Tucker explained precisely what's happening. Ironically, it began under Reagan, who was flimflammed into believing the Democrats when they told him that, if he'd just sign an amnesty bill for the illegal aliens already in America, then the borders could be closed. Since then, Democrats have been using illegal immigration as a vehicle to bring in an entirely new voting population that is reliably Democrat in orientation. Every one of these illegal votes dilutes a legal American's vote and denies us a say in our country. Tucker pointed out that the Democrats don't even try to govern for Americans anymore. Instead, the fundamental transformation about which Obama spoke isn't being done through persuasion; it's being done through population replacement. This isn't about skin color; it's about values. Through the importation of new, illegal voters, we are being transformed from a constitutional republic with a free market into a socialist country, all without the say-so of the American people. Retired ICE Special Agent Victor Avila: No Rules Are Being Followed On Border : No ID's Needed To Board Flights. Retired ICE Special Agent Victor Avila joined 100 Percent Fed Up and the Gateway Pundit today on a LIVE podcast to explain what's really happening on our southern border — and it's worse than everyone thought. Victor explained that in addition to COVID, the massive influx of illegal immigrants are bringing other dangerous viruses and diseases to the U.S. Thanks to Biden's $86 million contribution that was allotted courtesy of the American taxpayer, to house tens of thousands of foreign invaders, the illegal aliens who are COVID positive are being shipped out to hotels or transported by plane to locations across America. Remember when Democrats accused Trump supporters who attended his rallies criminals for being part of his "super spreader" outdoor rallies? Is Joe Biden setting up Kamala Harris to fail? Joe Biden handed Kamala Harris the job of "point person" for the border crisis on March 24, and for three weeks now, she's been AWOL. She's an embarrassment to the Biden administration at this point, as New York Post columnist Miranda Devine notes, pointing to the growing severity of the crisis. Joe, in fact, actually created the crisis, first by incentivizing child migration with a vow that no illegal child migrant, even one brimming with COVID, could ever be sent back, and bringing back catch-and-release for everyone else. Biden's also suspended construction of the border wall, which has turned into a gift to the human-smuggling rackets. He's rescinded President Trump's Migrant Protection Protocols and diplomatic agreements with Mexico and Central America to keep illegal migration minimal. U.S. diplomats now are reduced to pleading with Central American states to hold fair elections, make themselves transparent, end corruption, and respect separations of powers, all standard elements of democracy repeated to them a million times by past administrations, which Joe and Kamala don't actually follow themselves. Why Biden Is Breaking America. Biden created a crisis at the border after President Donald Trump had fixed it through almost sheer force of will, despite Democrats trying to check him at every turn. Trump's ability to make a deal with Mexico to essentially become the wall, in addition to building more wall on our border, was astounding. But Biden deliberately undid that achievement on purpose, creating a humanitarian and public safety crisis, Goodwin observes, because he stopped the wall, did away with the 'Remain in Mexico' policy and said no unaccompanied minor would be blocked from entry. The border is even worse than you think. Anyone paying attention to the news knows the situation on the U.S.-Mexico border is terrible. Anyone who actually visits the border discovers it is worse than that. Here is what is most striking about the government's response to the unprecedented surge of illegal border crossers: It is entirely improvised. Jury-rigged. Thrown together in a scramble to accommodate thousands of migrants who were not coming just months ago. And the reason it is being improvised is that during his first days in office, President Joe Biden blew up the foundation of the government's handling of migrants. With a series of executive actions, Biden threw out key policies with nothing ready to replace them. And he did it using rhetoric that invited migrants to rush to the border — more than 172,000 in March alone, including nearly 19,000 unaccompanied children. Migrant family holding center virtually empty as Biden spends millions on hotels. A massive immigration holding center in Texas is hardly being used amid the worsening border situation as the Biden administration instead opts to dole out multimillion, taxpayer-funded contracts to house families in hotels. The Biden administration has spent $87 million to put families in seven hotels across Arizona and Texas rather than place them in similar permanent family facilities, according to two people familiar with the administration's plans. Sources said the Karnes County Family Residential Center is far better equipped to hold hundreds of families even amid the coronavirus pandemic but claimed Biden officials are making a "PR play" and are concerned about the "optics" of holding people at a facility that is operated by a for-profit group. Texas Gov. Abbott warns border woes 'will get worse,' points to 'bipartisan response' to Biden admin. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Sunday [4/11/2021] that in his state it's not just Republicans who are pushing back against the Biden administration as migrants surge to the southern border in record numbers. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, there were more than 172,000 border stops in March — the most in 20 years — and 20,822 unaccompanied minors are in federal custody. Republicans have blamed the spike on Biden's immigration policies, but Abbott insists that in Texas they are not alone. "This is a bipartisan response to the Biden administration because you have Democrat members of the United States Congress, you have Democratic members of the state legislature, as well as Democrat local officials who are pushing back against the Biden administration as much as conservatives in the state of Texas," the Republican governor told "Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace. Report: Biden Giving Federal Employees Paid Leave to Help Border Crossers. President Joe Biden's administration is reportedly begging federal employees from various agencies to take paid leave to provide care to thousands of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UACs) arriving at the United States-Mexico border. A report by the New York Times this weekend alleges the Biden administration is sending emails to federal employees asking them to take paid leave to help care for UACs who are arriving by the thousands every month. A Part of The Immigration Crisis Story Everyone is Missing. Ohio Representative Jim Jordan appears with Maria Bartiromo [4/11/2021] to discuss his visit to the U.S-Mexico border and what he personally witnessed. Jim Jordan outlines how the JoeBama administration is blocking people from documenting the scale of the crisis and concludes the resulting influx is exactly what the administration wants. [Video clip] Many people (conservative media and politicians specifically) are misinterpreting the removal of the Biden administration's Southern Border coordinator, Roberta Jacobson, from office. Jacobson was not removed from her position for being ineffective, her removal was announced because her goal was successfully accomplished. [...] Roberta Jacobson was put into position in January by those in control of the Biden administration specifically to coordinate this mass migration influx. Her mission was to create the crisis, not to prevent it. Biden Border Coordinator Roberta Jacobson stepping down. The Biden administration's Southern Border coordinator will step down at the end of the month as officials continue to struggle with a large influx of migrants trying to enter the United States. Roberta Jacobson, the former ambassador to Mexico, was chosen as President Biden's border czar amid pressure from lawmakers to address what some are calling a "crisis" at the southern border. "Consistent with her commitment to serve in the administration's first 100 days, Ambassador Jacobson will retire from her role as Coordinator at the end of this month," National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said in a statement. Rep. Jordan slams Biden admin for limiting media's access to migrant facilities amid surge at border. Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan argued on Sunday [4/11/2021] that the reason the press is not allowed to visit migrant facilities is because the Biden administration does not "want the American people to know what's going on." Jordan made the comment on "Sunday Morning Futures" during an exclusive interview with host Maria Bartiromo following a recent trip to the U.S. southern border where he toured a migrant facility in Donna, Texas. Bartiromo noted that he and the group of lawmakers he toured the facility with were barred from taking any photographs and when they asked for written permission to film "they were told by Biden's handlers it's a moot point." Jordan acknowledged that was the case and stressed that the press weren't allowed in to the facility. He stressed, that based on what he had witnessed during his trip to the border, "these conditions are just not appropriate at all." Gohmert Posts Video Showing Signs in DHS Bags Directing Illegal Migrants to BP Facilities. As usual, Republicans appear to be the only ones trying to sound the alarm about the worsening crisis regarding the massive influx of illegal migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border, especially Republicans from border states. In recent weeks, Republicans from Texas especially have led delegations to the state to talk to Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who are struggling to deal with the influx. In March alone, for instance, a record 170,000 migrants were intercepted crossing illegally into the U.S., with 1,000 or more getting away... each day. Biden's latest Wile-e-Coyote scheme to fix border crisis: Paying would-be illegals to stay home. As the border crisis gets bigger and bigger, the Biden administration is running out of ideas. Latest weather balloon to be floated around is the possibility of U.S. taxpayer checks to pay would-be illegals in Central America to stay home. [...] It's a typical liberal idea of throwing cash at a problem instead of solving it. After all, it would be just as easy to enforce U.S. immigration law, and who knows, make a treaty with the nations whose nationals are so eager to leave as well as the transit country Mexico. Who knows? They might even encourage people to use the existing legal process for immigration into the U.S, but that's not how the Biden administration "thinks." Too Trumpy, as it happens. Better to throw cash at the problem instead. Biden Administration Opening Facilities In Two Crucial Swing States To House Illegal Immigrants. President Joe Biden's administration is instructing long-term facilities that hold immigrant children to lift capacity restrictions enacted during the coronavirus pandemic to open up much-needed beds in a system facing sharply increasing needs. In the meantime, migrant parents have said they have no idea where their children have gone after crossing the border into America, as some are about to be housed as far away as Michigan due to the overwhelming number of arrivals. Moms and dads already settled in the US are being forced to deal with the agonizing weeks-long wait to hear any news of their children's whereabouts or wellbeing as the federal government struggles to cope with the influx of migrants crossing the border from Mexico into the US in recent months. Last month, almost 19,000 children made the journey alone, marking the highest monthly total in all of American history. CBP Statistics Released — Agents Took 172,331 Illegal Aliens Into Custody in March, Then Released Them. The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) has released the statistics from March apprehensions at the southern U.S. border and the numbers are stunning. More than 172,000 aliens crossed into the country illegally, approximately ten percent were unaccompanied minors (18,890), the rest were intact families. The mass influx, by all accounts an intentionally driven invasion, is the largest mass migration of illegal aliens into the United States in over 20 years. The border patrol is overwhelmed and Homeland Security facilities are beyond capacity to control the crisis. Arizona AG says Kamala Harris is refusing to visit despite being named border czar. Arizona's attorney general said Thursday [4/8/2021] Kamala Harris has not responded to his requests to visit the crisis-hit border, as Republicans released video of migrants crossing the Rio Grande just a few feet behind them. 'I guess if you were a philosopher you would say no response is a very loud response because we've not received any response,' Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said in an interview with Fox. Harris was named border czar last month by President Joe Biden as the administration faces a growing emergency with record numbers of illegal immigrants arriving in the U.S. and border facilities quickly becoming overcrowded and understaffed. Joe Biden Border Czar Roberta Jacobson Stepping Down. President Joe Biden's "border czar" will leave the White House, as the administration continues struggling to handle the migration crisis on the Southern border. Former U.S. ambassador to Mexico Roberta S. Jacobson, who was appointed by Biden to lead the diplomatic effort in Central America, will leave her position at the end of April, she revealed to the New York Times. Biden's New Security Reality. Despite a media blackout, the truth about the situation is evident, and the cartels and human traffickers are well aware of America's new attitude towards illegal immigration and are raking in the profits as they benefit from enabling human transport as well as activities related to illegal drug trafficking and other criminal activities. Now we've seen detention centers that were built to house individuals awaiting their day in court date to determine their fate in the U.S. become filled well beyond capacity. But despite this, Department of Homeland Security Chief Alejandro Mayorkas claimed just weeks ago that there was no crisis at the border, while simultaneously acknowledging that the U.S. is on pace to encounter more illegals on the southern border than at any time in the last two decades. Another grim sign the Biden admin aims to hide the worst news from the border. The US Customs and Border Patrol just took down its press release announcing the apprehension of two suspected terrorists in Southern California after just a day. The agency described them as Yemeni nationals named on the FBI terrorism watchlist and "No Fly" list. CBP agents found both suspects in the El Centro sector of California several hours from the US-Mexico border. One reportedly had a cellphone SIM card hidden in his shoe. This, after Republican pressure forced the CBP to confirm last month that four suspected terrorists on the FBI's watchlist, three Yemenis and a Serb, had been stopped at the border since October. Now it's up to six ... that we know of. Catch-and-Bus: Thousands of Freed Border-Crossing Immigrants Are Dispersing Across America. The buses rolling in a steady daily succession out of Del Rio — one charter a day, seven days a week, and before that weeks of filling Greyhound buses — represent a microcosm of a much broader aspect of the unfolding mass-migration crisis at the southern border that has attracted limited media coverage and occurs largely outside public view. Tens of thousands of immigrants caught illegally crossing the border and then released under the new leniency policy of President Joe Biden are now dispersing to four corners of the United States on buses, with some of the more moneyed ones taking passenger jets. As best as the Center for Immigration Studies can determine from interviews and scattered media reporting, the buses are leaving regularly from Del Rio, the Texas Rio Grande Valley communities, and Laredo, but the busing also appears to be going on in Arizona, as well as in California. Biden Border Policy Goes South. When the inevitable assessments of President Biden's first 100 days in office begin to appear, his precipitous actions pursuant to illegal immigration at the southern border will be judged by most honest observers to have been his worst blunder. That is certainly the perspective of the majority of Americans, according to three recent public opinion surveys. An NPR/Marist poll, for example, found that 53 percent of respondents disapproved of Biden's handling of immigration. An ABC News/Ipsos poll found that 57 percent were dissatisfied with his management of the situation, particularly as it affects unaccompanied minors. An AP/NORC poll found that 55 percent were unhappy with Biden's performance on border security. Republican House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy demands Kamala Harris attend FBI briefing on border crisis after two Yemeni men on the watchlist and a MS-13 member were caught crossing into the US. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy wants Vice President Kamala Harris to address the capture of two Yemeni nationals on the terror watchlist who crossed into the U.S. from Mexico. McCarthy told Fox News that he requested a classified briefing from the FBI and CIA on the matter and said Harris should attend. 'I know she hasn't been to the border,' McCarthy told Fox. 'I don't know if she's ever been briefing on this, but I think it'd be important that all leaders, because this isn't about Republican or Democrat, this is about the security of our nation. And everybody should be making sure our nation is secure.' Deputy Border Patrol Chief: 'Way Over 100,000 People' 'Have Gotten Away from Us This Year'. On Monday's [4/5/2021] broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "America's Newsroom," Deputy Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz stated that "way over 100,000 people" have gotten away from the Border Patrol so far this year. Ortiz said, [relevant remarks begin around 3:30] "We have technology and we have some resources out there that give us an estimate of how many people are actually getting away from us and we continue to try and refine and have as much confidence in that statistic as we can. But I can tell you that, so far, it's been way over 100,000 people that have gotten away from us this year. But the Border Patrol agents, as well as our law enforcement partners, are doing everything we can. Our resources are just stretched awfully thin right now." [Video clip] Joe Biden Gets Devastating News From New Poll Over His Handling Of The Border Crisis. A new poll reveals that a majority of Americans disapprove of Joe Biden's immigration policies and handling of the U.S.-Mexico border crisis. According to an AP-NORC poll, 56 percent of people disapprove of Biden's stance on immigration, with 55 percent disapproving on the current border situation — the two worst readings of the issues included. The poll found that helping migrant children at the border is among Americans' highest immigration priorities. Almost 50% say providing safe treatment of unaccompanied children when they are apprehended should be a high priority, and 65% say the same about reuniting families separated at the border. The border crisis created by the Biden administration is about to get a lot worse in the coming months. Biden administration 'pleads with NASA to get their employees to volunteer' at overcrowded border facilities. NASA has sent their employees an email asking if they would volunteer at Joe Biden's overcrowded camps for migrants crossing the border. In an email obtained by The Intercept's Ken Klippenstein, the space agency said the Department of Health and Human Services was looking for people to put themselves for 120 days of work to help unaccompanied kids coming from Mexico. Several other agencies are believed to have received similar requests. DailyMail.com has reached out to Health and Human Services for comment. California's migrant mess. California, epicenter of the nation's illegal immigrant population and the first sanctuary state, hasn't seen its borders overrun due to the nearly complete border wall. The state's economy had already been smothered by extended COVID-19 lockdowns, businesses fleeing to other states, and children kept home and out of school. But relief was short-lived. San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, County Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, all Democrats, worked out a plan to bring 1,450 minor girls to the San Diego Convention Center as a way to ease conditions in Texas. More than 500 girls are now on-site, with the rest to arrive shortly. And 70 brought COVID-19 with them. People smugglers are using Facebook to promote '100% safe' journeys across the US border. Human smuggling networks have been hawking their services on Facebook, guaranteeing illegal entry to America for Central American migrants, including unaccompanied children. The smugglers, NBC News reported, are charging $8,000 for the '100 percent' safe voyage which includes a perilous passage through the U.S.-Mexico border that has claimed the lives of many. The since-deleted messages were posted on public Facebook pages, some which were named 'Migrants from Various Countries in Mexico' and 'Migrants in the Mexico-U.S.A. Border Awaiting Hearing.' On the front lines of the border crisis. The sleepy-looking downtown of McAllen would give passersby no reason to believe it is the epicenter of a border surge that threatens to consume the Biden administration's first months. A large converted nightclub space with blacked-out windows has been transformed into a resting spot for migrant families, 600 of which are released to the Catholic Charities organization every day. An armed security guard stands at the front doors, which are locked for the safety of the masses inside. Conditions back home in northern Central American countries have prompted multiple migration surges over the past decade. And while the U.S. government was hyperfocused on it under the Obama and Trump administrations, Sister Norma Seni Pimentel, executive director of the Catholic Charities humanitarian respite center, said they failed to address the push factors sufficiently. As a result, smugglers are still easily able to entice the vulnerable into taking on debts in the thousands in return for getting them to America. Joe Biden's border crisis. Democrats and the liberal media are policing the words we should use to describe the absolute catastrophe we're witnessing each day at the southern border. They don't like "crisis" or "surge." So, let us propose this description: Joe Biden's fault. Biden came into office with a gift. The previous administration labored ceaselessly and effectively to prevent the precise problem that we're now seeing. Former President Donald Trump and his White House worked with the governments of Mexico and Central America to stem the endless tide of migrants making their way to southern Texas seeking asylum. True, Trump took a heavy-handed approach, cutting some foreign aid to Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador with hopes that it would spur them to action. He also put pressure on Mexico to keep migrants on their side of our shared border, where they would have to wait for their case to be adjudicated, which could take months, or simply return home. Barrasso says Biden administration is 'trying to hide' border crisis as migrants are crammed in facilities 'like sardines'. Republican Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso slammed the Biden administration for what he described as cramming unaccompanied minors "like sardines" in facilities and "trying to hide" the crisis at the border from the public. "This is both a humanitarian crisis and a national security crisis," Barrasso told Fox News's Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. "You may have seen the numbers today are the highest in history of unaccompanied minors currently in captivity. They are crammed in like sardines. And this is what the Biden administration is trying to hide from the American public." Barrasso was among the group of Republican senators who visited the border at the end of March and recalled how he and other lawmakers were told to delete photos they took of the facilities. Sen. Barrasso says he was told to delete photos of border facilities. Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, the third-ranking Republican in the Senate, on Sunday [4/4/2021] said he was told to delete photos of migrant facilities at the border — as he claimed children are being packed "like sardines" inside. "This is both a humanitarian crisis and a national security crisis," Barrasso said during an interview on Fox News. Barrasso said on "Sunday Morning Futures" that GOP senators were told by officials to delete photos they took of the facilities during a recent visit to the US-Mexico border. "We were told to delete the pictures," he said. "No one did. You've seen the video coming out of all of these kids crammed together under the foil blankets, huddling together." Report: Biden Administration Busing 'Thousands' of Illegals Aliens to Red States to Get Permanent Status. Biden's border crisis is spreading nationwide, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies. The new administration is pursuing an immigration policy dubbed "catch-and-bus" with the aim of establishing undocumented immigrants in states in the interior of the United States. The Biden "smuggling routes" have gone largely unreported by media outlets that are fixated on the disastrous border crisis, where children are being kept in unsanitary conditions within detention facilities that violate COVID protocols. According to an original investigation by CIS, a veritable "conveyor belt" of busesfrom Texas, Arizona and California are transporting "thousands" of undocumented immigrants into America's heartland. Border Patrol Is So Overwhelmed That Nearly 1000 Migrants A Day Are Crossing Unpursued. U.S. Border Patrol agents are letting nearly 1,000 illegal aliens cross the border every day unpursued because they are focused on tending to the overwhelming number of unaccompanied minors and migrant families flooding holding centers, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials told the Washington Post on Friday [4/2/2021]. Instead of focusing on the surging number of "got aways" crossing the border without being apprehended or tracked, border patrol agents are preoccupied tending to the record number of migrants in custody due to President Joe Biden's refusal to send some illegal aliens back to their home country. Mark Levin: Dems are using immigrants, border chaos to usher in 'one-party rule'. Chaos ravages our southern border. Inhumane conditions abound as wave after wave of immigrants are packed into holding facilities. Overwhelmed, the Border Patrol is at a breaking point, said Mark Levin on the latest episode of "LevinTV." Levin believes this is precisely what the Democrats have planned for years. After all, amnesty plus citizenship equals Democrat voters. And unless something is done, this surge of illegal immigration will set the stage for a permanent one-party rule by the Democrats right here in America. [Video clip] Psaki Dodges Question About Smugglers Throwing Small Children Over Border Wall. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki dodged a question on Thursday [4/1/2021] about smugglers throwing small children over the southern border wall, and instead shifted attention to the reporter's motivation for asking the question. "And then, on immigration, has the White House considered beefing up border security now that there is video of a three-year-old and a five-year-old being thrown over the wall in New Mexico?" Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked. Psaki said that the administration has "spoken out about our concerns" regarding what the smugglers are doing. "Yes, but they still got close enough — as you guys are talking about addressing root causes in the region — for a smuggler to throw them over a wall into the desert," Doocy said. "And I'm just curious what the White House is doing to stop that from happening?["] "And are you concerned more about the kids' safety or are you concerned about kids getting in?" Psaki asked. "Or tell me more about your concern here." The Editor says... Border Crossings Reached Highest Level in 15 Years Last Month: Report. Apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border reached a 15-year high in March, with Border Patrol agents taking more than 171,000 migrants into custody, according to a new report. The figure represents a sharp increase from the 78,442 migrants apprehended in January, according to preliminary U.S. Customs and Border Protection data published by the Washington Post, as the Biden administration struggles to get a handle on the influx of migrants — especially unaccompanied minors — attempting to enter the country. Big Media's Coverage of Trump's Versus Biden's Border Crisis — More Evidence the Media in the US Is Biased and Dishonest. The media in the US is perhaps the most corrupt and dishonest group of people in the world today. They are one-sided and severely biased. Their actions during the 2020 Election were repulsive and they are again showing their real colors in the way they are reporting Biden's self-made crisis at the border. Newsbusters released a video showing the differences between how the biased and sick media in the US reported immigrants at the border under President Trump and today under Biden. The differences are disgusting (not shocking since we are well aware of the media's bias): [Video clip] State Finalizing Plan to Immediately Give Illegal Immigrants Checks of Over $20,000. Democrats in New York are working on creating a fund that would give some illegal aliens and ex-convicts more than $27,000 apiece in direct payments for financial hardships related to the coronavirus pandemic. Politico reported Tuesday [3/30/2021] that Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office is in talks with state lawmakers to create something called the Excluded Workers Fund, which would offer direct payments to "undocumented immigrants and formerly incarcerated individuals" who missed out on work opportunities amid the pandemic. "Right now discussions are around eligibility and access," Democratic state Sen. Jessica Ramos told the outlet. UN 'Migration Networks' to Facilitate Migration Stir Concern. The United Nations' role in immigration policy is growing worldwide with the establishment of a UN "Network for Migration" in dozens of countries to facilitate large migratory flows, sparking alarm among American border-security advocates already concerned about mass migration and the escalating crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. The UN networks, which are led by a coalition of UN agencies, exist to support the implementation of the controversial "Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration" (GCM) adopted by the UN and over 150 of its member states in December of 2018. Among other goals, the global agreement aims to facilitate the expansion of what the UN describes as "regular migration," providing more legal pathways for would-be immigrants seeking to re-settle in wealthier countries such as the United States. The Editor says... Border crossers get 1 year 'renewable' amnesty and Social Security card. The Biden administration is granting thousands of illegal border crossers one-year renewable permits to stay in the United States to apply for asylum, a process that can take years. What's more, according to a new report, they are allowed to receive Social Security cards, paving the way to government benefits and jobs. Immigration expert Todd Bensman, who has been embedded in the process for the Center for Immigration Studies, said in a new report that an estimated 34,000 recent border crossers have already been distributed around the country with the documents. He said that if the migrant qualifies to stay, and most do under the Biden rules, they are given a COVID test then documents to stay before being guided to a privately run service that buses them around the country. The Editor says... 'The cruelty is the point'. [Scroll down] At one particularly overcrowded U.S. Border Patrol facility in Donna, Texas, an official told reporters: "The capacity for this location for COVID purposes is 250. Previous to COVID, the total capacity was one thousand. Now, we're holding over 4,100 subjects in this location alone. So you do the math. We're way over capacity." The short version: Families are separated and there are thousands of young people jammed into holding pens awaiting processing. There is no doubt that President Biden's policy is behind the latest surge. The president and his administration have made clear that the U.S. will accept unaccompanied children but not family units, and not individual adults. At his news conference last week, Biden said, "We're sending back the vast majority of the families that are coming." Even though that is not entirely true, the U.S. message to would-be migrants, from the mouth of the president himself, is: If you come as a family, we will turn you away. If you send your children by themselves, we will take them. Biden's policy has given those families a clear incentive to self-separate in the interest of at least getting their children inside the United States. The 10 Radical New Rules That Are Changing America. [#4] The immigrant is mostly preferable to the citizen. The newcomer, unlike the host, is not stained by the sins of America's founding and history. Most citizens currently must follow quarantine rules and social distancing, stay out of school and obey all the laws. Yet those entering the United States illegally need not follow such apparently superfluous COVID-19 rules. Their children should be immediately schooled without worry of quarantine. Immigrants need not worry about their illegal entry or residence in America. Our elites believe illegal entrants more closely resemble the "founders" than do legal citizens, about half of whom they consider irredeemable. Media Gets First Look Inside Severely Overcrowded Migrant Facility In Texas. After weeks of denying journalists access to an overcrowded migrant facility at the U.S.-Mexico border, reporters were finally allowed in to get their first look. A pool of selected reporters and photographers was allowed into the center in Donna, Texas, where more than 4,000 migrants are held. Some 3,400 are unaccompanied minors. Photos show migrants packed into plexiglass pods, strewn with shiny Mylar blankets. "There are eight 'pods' in total — critics have called them 'cages' in reference to criticism leveled at the Trump administration — each containing 500-600 migrants," Fox News reported. If Cesar Chavez's Bust Could Talk. On Wednesday, First Lady Jill Biden will celebrate National Border Control Day. Well, sort of. March 31 would have been Cesar Chavez's 94th birthday, and the president's wife is scheduled to attend a ceremony honoring the late labor leader at his United Farm Workers union's first headquarters in California's Central Valley. Chavez's lifelong advocacy for tight borders and against illegal immigration are the reasons his birthday is increasingly celebrated as National Border Control Day. But the first lady isn't likely to mention any of that, especially given her husband's responsibility for sparking the current border disaster. Shocking New Video Shows Just How Bad Things Are Getting at the Border. The surge of illegal immigration at the border isn't ending anytime soon. Joe Biden and his administration have tried to toe a line that can't be toed, and the result has been a humanitarian disaster that was absolutely preventable. All that had to be done was to keep Donald Trump's policies in place. But that would have required giving the bad orange man some credit so we instead get shocking videos like this on a near-daily basis now. [Video clip] Say, Whatever Happened To Biden's Transparency Pledge? Just two months into his presidency, Joe Biden has already decided that transparency isn't so important after all, at least when it comes to the border crisis, and that keeping people in the dark is good policy. Of course, Biden still refuses to admit that there even is a crisis at the border. At his press conference last week, he acted as though the flood of unaccompanied children into the U.S. was as routine as flowers in the spring. "Nothing has changed," he said. "It happens every single, solitary year: There is a significant increase in the number of people coming to the border in the winter months of January, February, March. That happens every year." It's not true, of course. Last year, the number of illegal crossings dropped in each of the months Biden claims it always spikes. [...] So, clearly, something has changed. Even if what Biden said were true, that a massive surge of unaccompanied children happens every year, it means he was caught entirely flat-footed for this supposedly predictable event. Here's The Crisis: Journalists Tour Texas CBP Facility, Report Massive Overcrowding. Two reporters from the Associated Press and a camera crew from CBS News were allowed inside the Donna, Texas holding facility today. What they witnessed was massive overcrowding with 4,100 people packed in a space which ought to only hold 250. Biden administration finally lets media into the biggest shelter for migrant children — which is at 1,700% capacity and where one in seven kids have COVID. President Joe Biden's administration has allowed journalists inside its main border detention facility for migrant children for the first time, after weeks of shutting the media out and releasing their own photos. The tour on Tuesday [3/30/2021] revealed a severely overcrowded tent structure in Donna, Texas, where more than 4,000 migrants, including children and families, are crammed into pods. The youngest are kept in a large play pen with mats on the floor for sleeping, because the facility is at 1,700% capacity and the dormitories are full. Arizona Sheriff 60 Miles From Border Sees Spike in Arrests of Illegal Immigrants. A sheriff whose Arizona county is 60 miles from the southern border says his county is experience a direct impact from the flood of illegal immigrants streaming into the U.S. from Mexico. "We just this morning had a procedure where we chased a car," Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb told The Daily Signal in an interview Wednesday [3/24/2021]. "We had to release the canine on ... the driver," Lamb said. "And there was seven undocumented aliens in there. Three of them were children. This is something we're dealing with every day, when my county, which is 60 miles off the border.... It's 49 apprehensions in one day." Border county sheriffs across the southwest have seen a steadily increasing uptick in illegal crossings since President Joe Biden took office. DHS begs for border volunteers, offers COVID-19 vaccines in exchange. Homeland Security issued a new plea Monday [3/29/2021] for volunteers to head to the border to help handle the surge of illegal immigrants and said those who do want to go can jump the line to get COVID-19 vaccines. The urgent request from Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas underscores the difficulty the administration is having, even as it declines to label the situation a crisis. "We still need assistance," Mr. Mayorkas wrote to the department's employees. The Editor says... Psaki says VP Harris isn't in charge of border crisis, just 'root causes'. President Biden's big announcement that Vice President Kamala Harris is in charge of the crisis at the US-Mexico border was apparently just some "confusion" — and she is merely tasked with addressing its "root causes," White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday [3/29/2021]. Psaki issued the stunning clarification less than a week after Biden told reporters that he was delegating one of the most pressing issues of his young presidency to the veep. "The vice president of the United States will be helping lead that effort, specifically the root causes — not the border, there's some confusion over that," Psaki said during her daily press briefing. The Editor says... Kamala Harris' schedule shows Team Biden's true border priorities. Is anyone here in charge? President Joe Biden last week tasked Vice President Kamala Harris with leading the White House response to the near-record surge of migrants crossing the southern border. Yet her schedule doesn't have a single immigration-related meeting. Why doesn't Harris seem to be doing anything to solve what she now calls "a huge problem"? White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday "clarified" that the veep is only in charge of diplomacy to address the problem's "root causes." Huh? Did it really take nearly a week to set the record straight, or did the president change his mind? Maybe Harris decided she didn't want the job. After all, leaked administration documents show that frontline agencies expect the number of unaccompanied children crossing to soon double (again) to far above record levels. [The] DHS [has been] urged to stop dumping illegal immigrants into tiny border towns with no resources. Rep. Andy Biggs on Monday [3/29/2021] urged Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and the Border Patrol to notify local officials before releasing hundreds of illegal immigrants into tiny border towns that lack the resources to help them. Biggs, an Arizona Republican, says he "remains concerned" about the decision to release so many lawbreakers into unsuspecting towns and slammed Homeland Security and the Border Patrol for failing to provide members of Congress with answers to basic questions about the unplanned desert drop-offs. "I request that DHS refrain from releasing aliens into communities without first coordinating with local elected officials and stop releasing aliens without NTAs (Notices to Appear)," he wrote in a letter sent to Mayorkas, Troy Miller, the acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, and John Modlin, the head of the Border Patrol's Tucson sector. Who's going to teach all the illegal alien children coming here? On Monday [3/29/2021], we learned that the San Diego Board of Education is sending teachers to the San Diego Convention Center to give in-person education to the illegal alien kids there. The most obviously wrong thing about that, of course, is that our kids are not getting in-person education. But I don't want to comment about the obvious. I want to talk about the insane rant from a Sacramento teacher who hates Americans, especially white Americans. Unless we do something, it's these insane teachers who will ultimately end up indoctrinating the new students who will be pouring into American schools. States are trying to get Biden to enforce the 'public charge rule'. Fourteen states have filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court stating that they want to defend the public charge rule, which the Biden administration is refusing to defend in Court. I'm going to sound like a simpleton here, but I'm a little confused as to the debate about the rule. The reality is that the Biden administration is violating the law. You and I don't get to do that, so why does the federal government? I admit that my work for the past 34 years was mostly in state, not federal, law. Still, I did manage to pick up a few things. Here's what I know: Under the Constitution, Congress passes the laws, which reside in the United States Code, and it's the President's job to oversee their enforcement. Biden's border cruelty. The professional bleeding hearts publicly speak against a border crisis. They moan about the fate of women and children. But the bleeding hearts planned and executed this crisis. They invited the cruelty by lying about President Emeritus Donald Trump. The bleeding hearts embraced the human trafficking of women and children, despite the abuse they face from the people who transport them to the border. Illegal aliens are treated as chattel. We have known about this for over a decade, and yet liberals and the Washington Establishment support the trafficking of human beings. Amnesty International said in 2010, "An estimated 6 out of 10 migrant women and girls experience sexual violence, allegedly prompting some people smugglers to demand that women receive contraceptive injections ahead of the journey, to avoid them falling pregnant as a result of rape." In 2019, the Washington Post lied and denied that Amnesty International ever said this. The wall discourages this migration. This administration encourages it. Upon his installation in the Oval Office, Chairman Xiden illegally stopped construction of the wall, unilaterally ended agreements with Mexico and other Latin American countries to curb illegal migration, and otherwise aided and abetted this human trafficking. Liberals obfuscate his role in the surge of illegal aliens, but Xiden opened the gates of the nation. Biden Staffer Blocks Cruz From Taking Video at Migrant Facility. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) showed video of a woman he identified as a Biden administration staffer blocking him from recording at a migrant facility on this week's broadcast of Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures." [3/28/2021] While Cruz was trying to film at the Border Patrol facility in Donna, Texas, the staffer blocking his camera said, "Please give dignity to the people. Please give dignity to the people." Cruz said, "So you work for the commissioner. You're a senior adviser. You were hired two weeks ago, and you're instructed to ask us to not have any pictures taken here because the political leadership at DHS does not want the American people to know it." The staffer responded, "Please don't treat the people as such." Cruz said, "Your policies are unfortunately trying to hide them. I understand that you were instructed. I respect them, and I want to fix this situation, and the administration that you work for is responsible for these conditions." Senators Visiting Border Witness Cartel Members Taunting Border Patrol. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) traveled to the border this week and spent time with Border Patrol during a night shift in McAllen, TX. While visiting the Rio Grande river, the Senators claimed they could hear cartel members "taunting Americans" and "taunting border patrol." "We are at the edge of the river; on the other side of the river is Mexico," a video posted by Cruz on Twitter began. "On the other side of the river, we have been listening to and seeing cartel members, human traffickers — right on the other side of the river." Cruz went on to say that the cartel members have been "Waving flashlights, yelling and taunting Americans — taunting border patrol because they know under the current policy of the Biden administration they can flood over here." Cuellar shares second batch of photos from migrant detention facilities. Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar shared a second batch of photos from a migrant holding facility along the southern border. The new photos, which aired during a segment of CBS's Face the Nation on Sunday [3/28/2021], depicted children packed into crowded rooms, many of them covered in foil blankets as they awaited processing. Biden Tries to Shut Down News Coverage at the Border. The Biden administration is desperately trying to prevent the American people from realizing the extent of the fiasco at our Southern border. Thus, loyal Democrat Chris Wallace this morning criticized Biden, pointing out that the Trump administration was more transparent. The Biden administration has repeatedly tried to prevent photos and videos of conditions at the border from reaching the American people. Late last week, a delegation of 18 senators visited the border, in particular the Donna, Texas facility that has been the center of the crisis. The Biden administration sent a political operative (as described by Senator Ted Cruz) to try to block Cruz from filming the Donna disaster: [Video clip] Kamala Harris MIA during border crisis: Where is she? The Biden administration is putting out a call for government volunteers to report for duty amid the significant surge at the border, but many are asking, Where is the person deputized to 'fix' the line-in-the-sand crisis? As the immigration mess at the southern border gets more and more out of hand, Vice President Kamala Harris remains inexplicably silent. Even after President Biden officially tapped the VP Wednesday to lead in response to border challenges, there aren't any plans for her to travel south or even address the issue. According to the Office of the Vice President, Harris had no events this past weekend and no mention of border-related activity. This comes as the Biden administration is now asking for government volunteers to help manage the migrant surge. Texas Democrat [Excoriates] Biden Over Border Crisis. President Joe Biden is so into open borders that even some Democrats are starting to criticize his handling of the immigration situation. Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) recently slammed the Biden administration for its frustrating lack of transparency regarding the migrant crisis created by his open borders promises made during the 2020 campaign. During a Friday [3/26/2021] appearance on Fox News' "America Reports," Cuellar complained that the president has not been forthcoming about the details of the migrant crisis and the steps his administration is taking to address the matter. [...] Since Biden rolled back former President Donald Trump's immigration measures, more and more migrants have been trying to gain access into the United States, and it does not appear that the flow of immigrants is slowing down anytime soon. Chris Wallace Confronts Psaki About Media Access to Border Facilities: 'You Are Being Less Transparent Than the Trump Administration'. Fox News' Chris Wallace spoke with White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Sunday and opened by asking about the migrant surge at the border — particularly the lack of media access to border facilities. President Joe Biden was questioned on that issue during his Thursday press conference. He said, "You'll have full access to everything once we get this thing moving." Wallace noted to Psaki that "the only way we know how bad conditions are" right now is because of pictures that members of Congress released. "These kids are living in these conditions now. They're not living in these conditions some indeterminate time from now when the president says everything will be fixed," he said, asking why reporters can't be allowed in to those facilities in a safe way. [Video clip] Biden Staffer Tries to Block Ted Cruz From Taking Video of Conditions at CBP Facility, Cruz Busts Her on Camera. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and the rest of the Congressional delegation were sending out pictures and videos of what they had been observing at the border as well as at the CBP facilities and holding areas. The pictures and videos showed everything from cartels at the river to the overcrowded CBP facilities that were turning into a humanitarian crisis because of the overflow. Apparently, that was too much for the Biden team. Cruz was taking video inside the Donna, Texas facility. Reports are that the Donna facility is packed far beyond capacity with 700 people in pods meant for 80 according to one of the members of the delegation. But as they were trying to show that on the video, a person who Cruz identified as a Biden staffer tried to block him, Cruz explained this morning [3/28/2021] on "Sunday Morning Futures." This is not immigration or political asylum. Our family came here from Cuba back in 1964. We came here legally and because of the generosity of the American people. They offered us an opportunity to come here and start a new life. Last, but not least, we came to the U.S. in an orderly fashion. Sorry, but that's not what we are watching at the U.S.-Mexico border. What we see there is chaos brought to you by a U.S. president who did not have the backbone to tell the immigration activists to shut up. Parallels
between Biden's border policy and Cuomo's nursing home scandal. Some friends of mine have been making interesting comparisons of the parallels between
the completely unnecessary crises created by President Biden (at the border) and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. [...]
Piles of People: New Photos Show What Biden Is Trying to Hide at the Border. Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz has released new and never seen before photos from inside an overcrowded Customs and Border Protection facility in Donna, Texas. These are the types of facilities the Biden administration has banned media from entering or touring. GOP senators shut down talk of immigration deal until border crisis is solved. Republican senators on Friday [3/26/2021] indicated that discussion of possible immigration deals to give illegal immigrants a pathway to citizenship would be off the table until the crisis at the southern border is ended. "How can you pass an immigration bill when you have an open border?" Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said at a press conference at the border. "If they want to accomplish anything on immigration and I want to help them, it would be securing the border." "You've got to stop the bleeding before you can take care of the problem," he said. Grassley was one of a group of Senate Republicans making the trip to the south Texas border and expressed horror at the mounting crisis — viewing packed border facilities and speaking to overwhelmed border agents. 'These Are The Biden Cages': Sen. Cruz Posts Shocking Video Of Border Crisis, Smugglers. Republican Sen. Ted Cruz (TX) posted alarming video of a cramped migrant camp along the southern border and apparent cartel members and human traffickers taunting Border Patrol agents from the Rio Grande. Cruz, who made a trip to the border on Friday with 18 other senators, ripped President Joe Biden for his immigration policies and implored the president to reverse course. "These are the Biden cages," the Texas senator captioned video of a cramped migrant camp. "Thousands of kids, in the midst of a pandemic, crammed in at 1500% capacity. This is just one of the 'pods' at Donna," he said. "There are SEVEN more, equally full." Biden's DHS chief Alejandro Mayorkas Fires all but three members of his advisory council in the middle of the border crisis. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) chief Alejandro Mayorkas has been slammed for firing 32 members of the agency's advisory council, including several Donald Trump allies, in the middle of the border crisis. Mayorkas announced the shock move to 'reconstitute' the Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC) in a letter to the ousted members Friday telling them that their place on the council had ended effective immediately, with only three members kept on in their roles. 'I am considering how the HSAC can bring the greatest value to the Department and how the expertise, judgment, and counsel of its members can be harnessed most effectively to advance the Department's mission,' he wrote. Senator James Lankford Snuck Into A Migrant Camp At The Southern Border And What He Found Is Not Pretty. Senator James Lankford snuck into a migrant camp in McAllen, Texas and filmed it and what he found is a disaster. Hundreds of people living under a bridge with a disastrously chaotic system that will bring on more and more humanitarian issues. This was an area that the media is NOT ALLOWED access to. [Video clip] GOP senators visit border facilities, reveal shocking pictures and data, including 10% Covid positivity. Yesterday [3/26/2021], Texas Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz led a delegation of Republican senators on a tour of border facilities, including those holding children, and then held a riveting 45-minute press conference afterward that was carried live on Fox News. When I checked CNN and MSNBC, there was a blackout of this extremely interesting and newsworthy event. A video of the presser is embedded below, and if you missed it, I recommend it for both the information it delivered and for the passion that it evoked. Senator Collins: I Toured the Border. Cartel Members Taunted Us. Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins toured the U.S.-Mexico border overnight with a delegation led by Texas Republican Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn. The trip continues through Mission, Texas today [3/26/2021] with a boat tour, but they've already seen the crisis first hand. Ted Cruz leads 18 GOP senators in branding Biden's border crisis 'inhumane' on tour of migrant camp. Senator Ted Cruz and 18 of his Republican colleagues have released shocking photos and video showing children packed into migrant camps, blaming President Joe Biden for the crisis at the southern border. 'This is inhumane, it is wrong and it is the direct consequence of policy decisions by the Biden administration to stop building the wall, to return to catch-and-release, and to end the stay-in-Mexico policy,' Cruz said at a press conference on Friday [3/26/2021]. Cruz, Senator James Lankford of Oklahoma and others shared heartbreaking images of a severely overcrowded holding facility in Donna, Texas, where Lankford said that 'pods' designed to hold 80 children are packed with more than 700. Fugitive busts cap busy week for border patrol amid migrant surge. Federal agents arrested three wanted criminals in 12 hours this week at the overwhelmed US-Mexico border. US Border Patrol and Customs agents arrested a driver and passenger at a border checkpoint near Hebbronville after finding they had active warrants for burglary and larceny, officials said. The fugitives were questioned after a K9 agent sniffed out personal-use marijuana, methamphetamines, and drug paraphernalia in the vehicle, the US Border Patrol in Laredo said in a Facebook post. The suspects were extradited to police departments in Texas and Florida. Gallup CEO Warns Biden: 42 Million Migrants Want Entry to U.S.. The CEO of Gallup has publicly warned President Joe Biden that approximately 42 million people south of Texas want to migrate into the United States. In a blog post published on Wednesday [3/24/2021], Jim Clifton, the chairman and CEO of the Gallup polling company, warned Biden as he and his administration struggle to deal with the surge of migration at the border. Border authorities released 2,000 migrants into US without notices to appear in court. Border Patrol has released roughly 2,000 people into the United States without providing them the legal documents that mandate they appear in immigration court, effectively relying on them to hold themselves accountable for illegally entering the country, according to a Democratic congressman. "I thought it was 150 people that they have released without a Notice to Appear, but it actually is getting now closer to 2,000 people they released," Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Democrat from Texas, told the Washington Examiner. "I told the person, 'Repeat it one more time.' Two thousand. I thought it was bad when it was 150, but it's now closer to 2,000 people." It is unprecedented for Border Patrol to catch and release illegal immigrants into the U.S. without a mechanism to ensure they enter legal proceedings. Historically, when border authorities become overwhelmed, taking more people into custody than they can hold in facilities, those buildings become overcrowded, and families may be released into the country with documents that tell them when and where to appear in court for illegally crossing the border, which is a misdemeanor the first time and a felony anytime thereafter. GOP Senators Visit the Border: 'We Could Hear the Cartel Members Taunting Us Across the River'. Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), one of several GOP lawmakers who visited the southern border on Friday [3/26/2021], said she could "hear the cartel members taunting" them across the river and declared the situation a "crisis." "1 AM — I spent the last 3 hours with Border Patrol on night shift in McAllen, TX. 18 Senators learning about the huge influx, 3,000 people per day, including unaccompanied children, illegally entering," Collins said in a Friday morning social media thread detailing her visit to the border. 'Human Traffickers & Cartel Members' — Cruz Gives Firsthand Look At What He Has Seen On Senate Border Trip. Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz gave a firsthand look at what he is seeing on Senate Republicans' border trip amid the crisis, saying he encountered human traffickers and cartel members. Cruz posted several videos and photos on Twitter of his trip to the border, showing what he is seeing on his trip with 18 other Republican senators. Warning of human trafficking, an increase in drugs coming across the border and more, Cruz slammed President Joe Biden and his administration for not acknowledging the crisis. "That's Mexico and you can see there are three smugglers right there standing on the Mexican side looking at us. They have been shining their flashlights at us, they are yelling at us," Cruz said in one of the videos. President Biden's Border Crisis Borders on Treason. Once again, America has an illegal immigration crisis on its hands, and there's only one person to blame: President Biden. [...] According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, federal authorities are encountering an average of nearly 600 unaccompanied migrant children per day — up from 313 children a day last month. In 2019, barely 200 unaccompanied migrant children were crossing the border daily on average — a more than twofold increase between the Trump and Biden administrations. Southwest border crossings are now on pace for the highest levels in two decades. It gets even worse. Under the Biden administration, Border Patrol agents are now considering releasing illegal immigrants who claim asylum without issuing a "Notice to Appear." In other words, illegal immigrants may depart custody without a court date. Put another way, they are invading the United States without repercussions. All the while, caravans of illegal immigrants continue to make their way to the southern border, overwhelming federal authorities who are desperate for any semblance of help from President Biden. Migrants Pay $500 for Fake UN Documents to Travel Through Mexico. Cartel-connected human smugglers are selling fake United Nations documents to migrants who want to move freely through Mexico as they travel to the U.S. border. Federal law enforcement officials in Mexico revealed exclusive details to Breitbart Texas about an investigation targeting document forgers. At a cost of $300 to $500 USD, "guides" or human smugglers offer a fake document packet from the United Nations Refugee Agency and a Mexican ID card. Document dealers promise safe passage and eventual entry in the U.S. Biden's Plan to House Illegal Immigrants in Hotels to Cost Taxpayers $72,000 per Border-Crosser. In a fresh twist on the Biden administration's decision to house illegal immigrants at hotel facilities, crunching the numbers on the $86.9 million that is set to be spent on 1,239 beds shows that the cost to U.S. taxpayers will be nearly $72,000 per border-crosser housed. "That works out to $71,666.67 per migrant, paid by your tax dollars, meaning that you are now a co-conspirator to one of the largest smuggling schemes in history," wrote Andrew Arthur, a fellow with the Center for Immigration Studies, a conservative policy research nonprofit. Officials at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to The Epoch Times that the Biden administration plans to use hotel facilities to accommodate family units unlawfully crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. "The $86.9 million contract provides 1,239 beds and other necessary services," said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Acting Director Tae D. Johnson. Reminder from Gallup: 42 million people want to migrate to America. Today, Gallup CEO Jim Clifton published a short blog post highlighting some survey results about potential migration. [...] Some might conclude Clifton is trying to weigh in to the current border crisis debate in a way that puts pressure on the Biden administration. But it's worth noting that the data he's citing isn't new. In fact, he wrote a very similar blog post back in Feb. 2019, the last time we were discussing a very similar crisis at the border. Biden's Woeful Press Conference. Reporters aren't in the practice, obviously, of being particularly tough on President Biden. But at his first press conference as president this afternoon [3/25/2021], Cecilia Vega of ABC News politely nailed him to the wall on a key failure of his border policy. She told an affecting story of meeting a nine-year-old boy at the border who had walked to the U.S. from Honduras, and said that when she called the boy's mother, the woman explained that she had sent him to the U.S. because she believed that Biden would let him into the country. This, of course, is exactly why there's been a surge at the border. Biden created an exemption in Title 42 — the public-health authority that President Trump had used to turn back migrants during the pandemic — specifically for minors, and predictably there's been a surge of minors. Migrant surge: Biden appoints Kamala Harris to come to his rescue. Is there anyone more unfit for the job of "point person" or "leading diplomatic efforts" during the current migrant border surge than Vice President Kamala Harris? It's an absolutely certain failure. Naming Harris the "point person" on the Biden-created border surge such a bad idea that one almost wonders if Joe Biden did it on purpose. After all, as the Sydney Morning Post notes in its headline: "'It will not be easy:' Biden hands Kamala Harris problem he couldn't fix." The already failed Biden policy that triggered this current border surge is now a leading issue with the public that's eating into Biden's poll numbers. According to a Hill-HarrisX survey, a "large majority" (76%) consider the illegal alien surge "a crisis." A Gallup poll reports that 42 million would-be migrants from Latin America alone want entry. A Politico/Morning Consult poll conducted in early February found that of Biden's seven least popular executive orders, five were immigration-related. Republicans Furious After DHS Releases Migrants into US Without Court Dates. Furious Republican lawmakers sent a scathing letter to the Department of Homeland Security this week after the agency reportedly released illegal migrants into the United States without court dates. "Despite your repeated claims that 'the border is secure,' these reports raise serious questions about DHS' commitment to faithfully enforcing the law," said the statement signed by 14 legislators. "Multiple Border Patrol agents confirmed the new process to Fox News, revealing that they have been directed to use prosecutorial discretion to forgo the hours-long process of paperwork required to issue an NTA amid the surge of migrants at the border," reports Fox News. Mexico's president says Biden immigration policies prompting border surge. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador asserted that the Biden administration's immigration policies have contributed to a surge of migrants that has overwhelmed facilities at the southern border in recent weeks. President Biden reversed several Trump-era immigration measures, loosening restrictions for asylum claimants and ending a policy that required migrants to remain in Mexico while making their case to enter the United States. Lopez Obrador said the changes prompted migrants fleeing harsh conditions in Central America to risk the journey to the border. "Expectations were created that with the Government of President Biden there would be a better treatment of migrants," Lopez Obrador said at a press conference. "And this has caused Central American migrants, and also from our country, wanting to cross the border thinking that it is easier to do so." Biden's border baloney. The administration sent Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to the Sunday shows with an impossible job — to defend President Biden's policies that have led to a massive rush of illegal crossers at the U.S.-Mexico border. Mayorkas' assignment was to make a simple — and false — declaration. "The border is closed," he told ABC's "This Week." "The border is closed," he told NBC's "Meet the Press." "The border is closed," he told "Fox News Sunday." It was a preposterous statement. Everyone knows the Biden administration is struggling to find places to accommodate the more than 15,000 unaccompanied minors who have crossed the border illegally in the last few weeks. The administration is keeping the young people in jails, in tents, in hotel rooms. Axios reported Sunday that the administration "has awarded an $86 million contract for hotel rooms near the border to hold around 1,200 migrant family members who cross the U.S.-Mexico border. Also posted under Lies about immigration and border security. Why Do They Want to Turn Whites Into Minority? Some observers and commentators, and I used to share their believes in this matter, speculated that the borders were left wide-open and the immigration laws unenforced because the ruling party wanted to grow its prospective electorate, as some two-thirds of the "migrants" ended up voting Democrat as soon as they had a chance. But this was a weak explanation under the circumstances of the rigged elections system that, based on what we all have seen in the past four months, was able to deliver predetermined results to the party of choice of those who controlled the system. As a mater of fact, the Democrats don't need [any] illegal "immigrants" to maintain their grasp of power; they already have a system in place that works, and coming legislation is going to further solidify it. H.R. 1 is Emblematic of the Crisis of American Democracy. There is no evidence at all after 60 days of the new administration, of any disposition to collaborate with moderate Republicans in a centrist response to the many policy challenges the administration faces. [...] There is no conceivable alternative interpretation of the administration's performance to date than that, as is widely accused and not even energetically denied, the Democrats intend to admit practically unlimited numbers of unskilled and unscreened people into the United States and qualify them immediately as voters. At the same time, they intend to eliminate any procedure for the verification of votes, the monitoring of the eligibility of voters, or of the correct allocation of votes to the places of residential districts of the electors. Report: 3,000 Illegals Packed in Detention Camp Meant for 250, Biden Has Kids in Cages. Thousands of Illegal aliens are packed like sardines into a detention camp where they sleep on floors, wrapped in what appear to be aluminum thermal blankets, Project Veritas revealed on Monday [3/22/2021]. The report on the Biden Regime's facility in Donna, Texas, contains images of illegals confined in cubicles that resemble greenhouses for growing food on a forbidden planet in a sci-fi film. Many of the illegals have the China Virus, PV reported, and many are minors. The problem? For years, Biden, the leftist media, and the open-borders lobby accused President Trump of keeping "kids in cages." Biden has kids in cages, and they can't get a regular shower. Biden administration awards ICE $86M contract to secure hotel rooms for illegal families. The Biden administration has awarded ICE an $86.9 million contract for hotel rooms near the border to provide temporary shelter and processing services for families who have not been expelled from the United States but have been placed in immigration proceedings for their removal. The contract, through Texas-based nonprofit Endeavors, provides 1,239 beds and "other necessary services." The families will receive a comprehensive health assessment, including COVID-19 testing. The Editor says... ICE signs contract for 1,200 more detention beds to fight border surge. ICE said Monday [3/22/2021] it has signed a contract to set up more than 1,200 new detention beds to process migrant families, in a move that expands the agency's ability to test new arrivals for the coronavirus. Tae Johnson, the acting director at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the contract is worth $86.9 million, and it will pay for "temporary shelter and processing services" for families who are not immediately turned back at the border, and who will instead be released into the U.S. The number of such families has been soaring in recent weeks, drawn by changes in immigration policy under the Biden administration as well as lessening cooperation from Mexico in taking families back. GOP Rep. Gimenez on Border Crisis: 'Basically, It's Modern-Day Slavery'. Sunday on Fox News Channel's "The Next Revolution," Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL) discussed his recent visit to see firsthand the crisis at United States' border with Mexico. Gimenez described the situation at the border as "modern-day slavery." He added the border crisis is seeing the molestation of young females, indentured servitude until families can come up with the funds for being transported across the border, and the murdering of immigrants who cannot come up with the funds. Human Traffickers Made Up To $14 Million Per Day In February Border Rush: Report. Human trafficking organizations sending men, women and children over the US-Mexico border to take advantage of President Biden's backfiring immigration policies earned as much as $14 million per day in February, according to Fox News, citing sources within the US Border Patrol. Biden Accidentally Admits He Will Re Establish TRUMP Border Policy As Crisis Spirals Out Of Control. After Joe Biden was installed in the White House in January, he immediately began to lay waste to dozens of Trump-era policies that put America first. One of the effective policies he axed was Trump's "remain in Mexico" policy, which required migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. to remain in Mexico while their asylum claims were processed. Now, just two months later, Biden is realizing how badly he screwed up. While quickly speaking to reporters on Sunday [3/21/2021], Biden said he would "re-establish what existed before", which was this exact "Remain In Mexico" policy that worked so well under Trump. "Why do you think the message to the migrants, telling them to stay home, don't come now, why do you think that hasn't resonated yet? What more can be done sir?" a reporter asked. "A lot more. We're in the process of doing it now, including making sure that we re-establish what existed before, which was they can stay in place and make their case from their home countries," Biden responded. Biden tells reporters he will 're-establish what existed before' and tell 'refugees' to apply for asylum from their home countries. With President Biden's mental health at issue, we never know how seriously to take what he says. But a remark he made to some reporters on the White House lawn Sunday [3/21/2021] is drawing both chuckles and concern. [...] This was President Trump's policy, one that Biden reversed upon taking office, causing the crisis. This is a sudden reversal, if it is not a gaffe. Watch for yourself and make up your own mind about his mental state: [Video clip] [...] Will he be asked about this apparent policy reversal at his first press conference? Not if he calls on reporters from a list prepared by his handlers. Illegal Immigrants to Receive $4.38 Billion in Stimulus Checks: Report. As Americans start to receive the latest round of stimulus checks, a new analysis reveals that about $4.38 billion will also go to illegal immigrants. The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that 2.65 million illegal immigrants have Social Security numbers that allow them to receive stimulus checks. This group of illegal immigrants can be described as "aliens temporarily present without status," according to Steven Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies. "These individuals are in the country illegally and could be required to leave. Yet, under the current system, they are still given work authorization and Social Security numbers," he said. They include Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals and Temporary Protected Status recipients. In addition, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issued 882,000 work authorizations and Social Security numbers to other illegal immigrants in fiscal year 2020, the analysis states. These include asylum applicants, as well as those applying for adjustment of status and suspension of deportation, among other categories. Biden admin releases photos of crowded migrant processing center at border amid transparency criticism. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on Tuesday [3/23/2021] released photos of the temporary facilities being used to process migrant children who are found crossing the U.S. southern border. The photos show crowded quarters, including children sleeping shoulder-to-shoulder on mats on the floor with aluminum blankets and on benches. Another photo shows dozens of children in a transparent pen similar to a cage. Abbott: Hey, There Is Not A Fence Around The Midlands [sic] Detention Facility, Launches Investigation Into Safety Concerns. Governor Abbott appeared on Fox and Friends Monday morning [3/22/2021] and told the co-hosts that he had two items of news to deliver. The topic was the flood of illegal migrants into Texas and the holding facility that the Biden administration is using to house unaccompanied minors in Midland. A Texas state senator delivered troubling news to the governor. As he spoke, he told the audience that there is no fencing around the Midland facility. The facility was hastily opened up to accommodate the overflow of unaccompanied minors from the U.S.-Mexico border. It was formerly a 'man camp' for oilfield workers run by Cotton Logistics and it is now referred to as an Emergency Intake Facility. The governor said there are both public safety concerns and public health concerns with the facility. He has launched an investigation into safety conditions at the Midland facility as well as others in Texas. Media Declares Biden Political Crisis. Over the last several days and reaching a crescendo today, the mainstream media has been sounding the newsroom equivalent of a four-alarm fire over the growing chaos at the southern border, because the Biden team are persisting with their Baghdad Bob act over the matter. See, for example, how the morning news shows depicted the matter: [Video clip] All of the media stories right now should be understood as memos from the PR wing to Biden and the rest of the Democratic leadership that the chaos at the southern border threatens political catastrophe. ABC Shocked at Biden's Border Incompetence After 'Hardline' Trump White House. The journalists at Good Morning America on Monday [3/22/2021] marveled at the incompetence of the Biden administration's border policy, even calling it a "crisis." But reporter Cecilia Vega still managed to use loaded language, deriding the Trump White House's "hardline" efforts. Showing that things have gotten so bad even liberal network journalists can't hide it anymore, Robin Roberts marveled, "Now to the crisis at the border." Vega was frank in describing the Biden-created chaos: "The Biden administration, they moved quickly to overturn many of Trump's hardline immigration policies. But critics say they did that without having a plan in place on the ground out here to manage the surge of migrants that followed." Photos: Migrants Fly 'Biden for President 2020' Flag in Mexico While Awaiting U.S. Entry. Hundreds of migrants are waiting in an encampment in Tijuana, Mexico, until they can be processed and potentially released into the United States interior by President Joe Biden's administration. Photos captured of the encampment show a "Biden for President 2020" flag waving as migrants stay huddled in tents. The photos show the scale to which migrants are sitting in close range to the U.S.-Mexico border in the hopes of being released into the U.S. interior. Mexican cartels are seizing on Biden's lax border policies to run multimillion-dollar human trafficking scheme. Ruthless Mexican cartels are exploiting Joe Biden's relaxed immigration stance to turn people trafficking into a billion-dollar racket 'worth more than dope', a DailyMail.com investigation can reveal. The president tore up hardline Trump policies after taking office but denies sparking a crisis along the southern border where authorities are struggling to deal with a surge in migrant families and unaccompanied kids crossing illegally. A slew of experts and well-placed law enforcement sources have told DailyMail.com, however, that notorious drug gangs including the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas are seizing upon the reforms to ratchet up human trafficking operations. James O'Keefe STUNS, Leaks Photos Of Border Crisis Biden and Psaki Don't Want You to See. Project Veritas uncovered some photos that Joe Biden and company won't appreciate the public seeing. [Video clip] The shameful inhumanity of Joe Biden's border policies. A lot of people have wondered why the Biden administration hasn't taken the communist Chinese to task for the way they are treating the Uighur population. Now that photographs are emerging from the facilities on our southern border where the Biden administration is collecting illegal immigrants, the reason for Biden's silence is obvious: You can't scold the Chinese for civilian concentration camps when you've set up your own inhumane concentration camps on American soil. The Biden administration is hiding what's happening at the border but, as leaked photos make clear, what's going on in Texas is outrageous. Tens of thousands of people, including over 15,000 children, more than 5,000 of whom are unaccompanied, are herded together in dangerous, unsanitary conditions. Children are going hungry and there is no "usable running water." Additionally, a contagious disease is working its way through the interned population, one so deadly that Democrats shut down America for a year because of it. There also reports that the women and children gathered under these conditions are prey for sex traffickers and sexual predators.
Even [the] liberal media [is] fed up with [the] Biden administration over lack of access to border crisis, absence of pressers. The left is starting to turn on President Biden over a lack of transparency regarding the crisis along the Mexican border, while other liberals are peeved he hasn't conducted a formal press conference two months after taking office. The Daily Beast quoted a "veteran White House correspondent" Sunday [3/21/2021] who anonymously trashed the Biden administration for not holding a formal press conference yet. "It's a problem," the unnamed correspondent said. "Who are we kidding here? More than two months without a press conference? Come on!" The correspondent said the lack of availability is "stretching the bounds of access and transparency" and accused Biden of "ducking" responsibilities. Crenshaw tears into MSNBC host blaming Trump for border crisis. U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, had his hands full debating immigration policy with MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan, who was all but representing the Biden administration. According to the network, the White House "is attempting to solve the influx of migrants at the border." This being the same influx they are largely responsible for. Their joust began on Twitter and, given that Crenshaw is a former U.S. Navy SEAL who did five tours of duty, he had no issue facing off with Hasan on national television. Team Biden's disgraceful border media blackout. There's only one thing not open on the southern border: media access to the operations of Customs and Border Protection. In a totalitarian effort at hiding the truth, the Biden administration has blocked the press. Veteran photojournalist John Moore raised the alarm on Twitter over the weekend: "I respectfully ask US Customs and Border Protection to stop blocking media access to their border operations," he wrote. "I have photographed CBP under Bush, Obama and Trump but now — zero access is granted to media. These long-lens images taken from the Mexican side." That's right: He had to cross the border himself to shoot unrestricted. There's more press freedom in Mexico than in the United States. Border Photographer Sounds the Alarm on Biden's Insane Media Blackout. Getty photojournalist John Moore took to Twitter to sound the alarm on the Biden administration's decision to bar media outlets from reporting on conditions in Border Patrol facilities. According to Moore, there is "no modern precedent for a full physical ban" on allowing reporters into facilities. Moore — who has photographed Border Patrol facilities under Presidents Bush, Obama, and Trump — shared a lengthy Twitter thread about his experience. He included a few images he was able to capture utilizing long lenses. Democratic border-town mayor: Biden admin handling of crisis 'a slap in the face'. He's putting people over his party. The Democratic mayor of a southern border town says he's incensed over the Biden administration's handling of the immigration crisis in his backyard — and he's "pleading" with Washington to do more to stem the stream of migrants pouring into his small city. "You have a breach on national security levels that have never before been seen in modern history and you're not even batting an eye about it, you're not even calling it a 'crisis', you're calling it a quote unquote challenge," Mayor Bruno Lozano, a Democrat who represents Del Rio, Texas, told The [New York] Post on Sunday. "It's a slap in the face." Trump Eviscerates Biden's Border Policy: 'Turned National Triumph Into National Disaster'. On Sunday [3/21/2021], after Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas repeatedly claimed that President Donald Trump left a mess for Joe Biden to clean up, even though the opposite is the case. Trump responded to these claims with a blistering statement. "We proudly handed the Biden Administration the most secure border in history. All they had to do was keep this smooth-running system on autopilot. Instead, in the span of a just few weeks, the Biden Administration has turned a national triumph into a national disaster. They are in way over their heads and taking on water fast," the former president declared. First Pictures of Biden's Border Facilities Are Leaked, and They Are Really Bad. As RedState has been chronicling, the situation at the border has devolved into a full-blown crisis. Thousands of people are crossing illegally every day, including unaccompanied minors. Those children are being stuffed into far over-capacity facilities, unable to shower, sleeping on floors, and generally existing in terrible conditions. ICE securing hotel rooms to hold growing number of migrant families. The Biden administration has awarded an $86 million contract for hotel rooms near the border to hold around 1,200 migrant family members who cross the U.S.-Mexico border, DHS officials confirmed to Axios. It's a sign of growing numbers of migrant families trying to come to the U.S. — in addition to already overwhelming numbers of kids crossing the border without their parents or legal guardians. Both trends appear to be straining government resources. Joe Biden: 'At Some Point I Will' Visit the Border. President Joe Biden told reporters Sunday [3/21/2021] he would visit the Southern border "at some point," appearing unwilling to commit to the idea soon. "At some point, I will, yes," Biden replied when a reporter asked if he would visit the border. Biden spoke to reporters as he returned from his weekend trip to Camp David. When asked if he would visit some of the detention facilities for migrants personally, Biden replied, "I know what's going on in those facilities." The Editor says... [The] Border Patrol in [the] Rio Grande Valley [is] releasing illegal crossers into US without [a] court date. Fox News confirmed Sunday [3/21/2021] that Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector (RGV) have begun to process and release illegal border crossers who claim asylum without issuing a Notice to Appear (NTA) — allowing them to depart custody without scheduling a court date for a hearing. The unprecedented move places the responsibility of seeking an asylum hearing on the migrants through Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or legal assistance. Corporate
Donors Dominate Push to Give Amnesty to 4.4M Illegal Aliens. Multinational corporate executives, who often serve as the
biggest donors for the nation's political class, are the driving forces behind an amnesty plan passed by House Democrats and nine
House Republicans. Last week, the House passed H.R. 6, known as the "Dream and Promise Act of 2021," to provide potentially
4.4 million illegal aliens with amnesty and put them on a track for American citizenship. All 218 House Democrats voted to
support the amnesty and nine House Republicans joined them, including:
Texas Gov. Abbott says Biden's migrant crisis is now a 'humanitarian disaster' amid COVID outbreak at hastily constructed child holding facility which has no 'usable running water'. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has called the border crisis a 'humanitarian disaster' as COVID cases surge among teens held in a hastily constructed federal holding facility for child migrants with no drinkable water. The detention center in Midland County, currently holding more than 400 youths, was opened on Sunday after federal officials converted a 'man camp' for oilfield workers to help handle a massive surge in illegal border crossings, including many unaccompanied minors. More than 10 percent of the camp's population has tested positive for COVID-19 and at least one child had to be hospitalized. And on Friday, Texas officials issued a dire warning that well water used at the holding site could be contaminated with arsenic or other toxins. Biden giving media 'zero access' to border operations: photojournalist. Award-winning photojournalist John Moore blasted the Biden administration for giving "zero access" to the media to observe Customs and Border Protection operations at the southern border. Moore took to Twitter to lament the lack of transparency as a surge of migrants trying to enter the country has put a strain on resources. "I respectfully ask US Customs and Border Protection to stop blocking media access to their border operations," Moore tweeted Friday. "I have photographed CBP under Bush, Obama and Trump but now - zero access is granted to media. These long lens images taken from the Mexican side." Moore, a Getty Images correspondent, won the World Press Photo Foundation's 2019 photo of the year for his image of a Honduran toddler crying while her mother is detained by Border Patrol agents. Biden's Illegal Immigration Agenda Creates Another Child Smuggling Crisis. Those in government know full well the tragic consequences of opening our borders. Rather than being motivated by compassion, they seek to gain power, and they're willing to sacrifice some of the most vulnerable people to do it. The Biden administration's recent open-borders immigration policy and talk of potential amnesty has predictably resulted in a dramatic rise in unaccompanied children risking their lives to enter the United States across our southern border. The number of children coming without parents is now more than 430 a day, with immigration experts predicting an influx of more than 100,000 unaccompanied children by the end of 2021. Parents are paying murderous drug cartels thousands of dollars to smuggle their children across the border. Some children are traveling across two or three countries to get here. GOP representative predicts 1 million migrants at the border by summertime. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) on Sunday [3/21/2021] predicted 1 million migrants will attempt to enter the United States by the summer, as the Biden administration deals with a surge at the border. "It's going to get worse. It's going to get a lot worse, springtime, summer, more and more come over. The messages coming back that, 'Hey, we got a new president; come on inl; We're open for business to the traffickers,' " McCaul told host Martha Raddatz on ABC's "This Week." "I predict a million people trying to get into this country by the summertime," McCaul said. The Editor says... Biden gives cartel human-smugglers an 'assist' by handing out free hotel rooms to illegal migrants. [I]llegal migrant families (or "families") who make it illegally across to the states get free hotel rooms, courtesy of Joe Biden and the U.S. taxpayer. That's what Biden has mandated in his self-created border crisis that didn't exist until he started offering immigration line-cutters benefits, and not surprisingly, the migrants are pouring over. Now some new goodies await at the finish line. [...] What [this] amounts to is Joe Biden trying to hide the crisis by throwing money at NGOs and hoping no one notices the unvetted illegals, some with COVID, filling up border town hotel rooms. No kids in cages pictures seems to be the aim, given Biden's effort to cover up such news from the media. Now with the migrants scattered about in private hotel rooms in border towns, the Biden logic is that perhaps the media will go away. That's a service-added for the cartels, which do entice migrants to leave their homes based on such goodies and not surprisingly they make lots of money off these crossings. The free hotels will add more. Thanks, Joe. Biden Administration Awards $86 Million Contract for Hotel Rooms for Migrants to Manage the Crisis at the Border. Axios is reporting today [3/20/2021] that the Biden administration has awarded an $86 million contract to house 1,200 migrant family members in hotels along the Texas and Arizona borders with Mexico as it tries to deal with the backlog of registration and processing the thousands of migrants caught while crossing the border — or surrendering themselves after crossing the border with a plan for how to be allowed to remain. Biden Administration Flying Migrants to Northern Border for Processing. No one should worry. The Biden administration says there's absolutely, positively, cross-my-heart-and-hope-to-die no crisis in any way, shape, or form at the border. Claims to the contrary are just right-wing propaganda and misinformation. So why will ICE be flying hundreds of migrants a day to border facilities hundreds of miles away near the Canadian border? Perhaps Biden wants us to pretend the border surge is mostly Canadians fleeing the oppressive Ottawa regime. Or perhaps it's a surge in Eskimo and Aleut peoples fleeing climate change. I'm sure the president would dearly love either scenario to be true, but alas, they are not. And his refusal to acknowledge the crisis has become almost comical. Don't say 'crisis': Biden team complicates border drama by refusing to utter dreaded word. The Biden administration's refusal to call the migrant surge at the Mexico border a "crisis" might be making it harder to deal with. President Biden's aides stonewall reporters who demand clarity on migrant numbers. The administration instead blasts former President Donald Trump for the "cruelty" of his immigration policy. This dodging has stoked congressional Republicans and the White House press, who are intensifying their demand for details. Daily jousting about the label "crisis" has drawn extra attention to what is widely seen as a weak policy at the border. WaPo: Biden Admin Planning To Fly Migrants From Mexican Border To Northern States. Following reports that there are more than 13,000 unaccompanied minors in U.S. custody and that steady streams of people illegally crossing the border continue to add to an already massive processing backlog for ICE, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has asked for air support to move people to states along the Canadian border, according to the Washington Post. Adding to the existing 1000 people waiting to be processed, another group of 1000 illegal immigrants crossed the southern border in just hours on Friday. Though the Biden administration declines to call the surge of illegal crossings and dangerous overcrowding at detention facilities a "crisis," the situation has grown beyond what CBP along the U.S. — Mexico border can handle. Biden's Rhetoric on Immigration Fueling Humanitarian and Security Crisis: Rep. Babin. Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) said Friday [3/19/2021] that President Joe Biden's rhetoric was fueling what he described as a humanitarian and national security crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. After taking office, President Joe Biden rushed to end some border policies of his predecessor, proposed a pathway to citizenship for millions of people in the United States illegally, and promised in an executive order to "create a humane asylum system." While the Biden administration has insisted that would-be immigrants should still follow the legal process for entering the country and that the border has not, as some contend, been flung open, the recent surge of illegal immigration suggests that is how it's being interpreted by many. In recent days, the numbers of children and families caught trying to enter the United States illegally from Mexico has grown to magnitudes unseen since before the pandemic. Customs and Border Protection has noted a more than 100 percent month-over-month increase in February in two categories of illegal aliens — family units and unaccompanied minors. TX Gov. Greg Abbott Sounds the Alarm: Border Surge Is Now a 'Disaster'. We reported earlier that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) would be leading a delegation to the border to get answers from the Biden team whether they want to provide them or not on the crisis going on there. But it seems to be getting worse by the hour. First, the state and local governments have been up in arms because the Biden team never even told them that they would be sending the kids there or setting up a facility, just suddenly they showed up without consent or warning in Midland, Texas. Senators see dire conditions in packed border stations, as officials consider flying migrants north. Migrant children and families are dangerously packed into holding facilities on the southwest border, lawmakers and child-welfare monitors warned Friday, as Customs and Border Protection weighed taking the emergency step of putting migrant families on airplanes to states near the Canadian border for processing. The strain of a sudden, sharp spike in apprehensions became clear as Department of Homeland Security officials and Democratic and Republican lawmakers toured the El Paso sector of the border and saw hundreds of children packed into large, open rooms and families streaming across the border at night. Conditions were even worse hundreds of miles to the southeast in the Rio Grande Valley, a court-appointed monitor told a federal judge Friday [3/19/2021], saying the crowding in Border Patrol facilities was "profound," "not sustainable" and at risk of unraveling. Texas sheriff in charge of US-Mexico border says it's 'basically open,' blames Biden. A sheriff whose county sits on the Mexican border said the new surge of migrants essentially has an open door into the United States — and he believes the "crisis" will only get worse if the Biden administration doesn't take swift action. "Now, basically, the border's open," Sheriff J.E. Guerra told The [New York] Post late Wednesday afternoon [3/17/2021]shortly after a ride-along with one of the department's sergeants. "We're hopeful with this administration, [Biden's] got an opportunity starting now but let's wait and see, they've got to make a decision here pretty quick because as long as they think that, 'Hey, the border's open,' here comes the flood, they've got to stop that." Jen Psaki used phrase 'crisis on the border,' then walked it back moments later. As America faces a surge of migrants along its southern border, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki used the phrase "crisis on the border" on Thursday when answering a reporter's question, but walked the comment back when another reporter pointed out that she had used the term. A reporter pressed Psaki about whether the move to send vaccines to Mexico had "any strings attached," related to expectations for Mexico to help address the situation at America's southern border. "There have been expectations set outside of, unrelated to, any vaccine doses or requests for them, that they would be partners in dealing with the crisis on the border," Psaki said. White House Secy. Jen Psaki calls issues at border a 'crisis' before claiming she meant 'challenges'. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki got a slip of the tongue after she called the situation at the border a "crisis." On Thursday, Psaki used the term when she responded to a question about whether Mexico has any expectations on the Biden administration's handling of the migrant surge at the border. "There have been expectations set outside of — unrelated to — any vaccine doses or requests for them that would be partners in dealing with the crisis at the border," Psaki stated. The administration has downplayed the problems at the southern border, including the massive migrant influx since Joe Biden took office. When called out for dubbing it a crisis, Psaki claimed she meant to say "challenges" at the border. Biden wants AMLO to clean up Biden's mess. Ted Cruz Rips Biden Up, Down and Sideways on Border Crisis, Bringing Delegation to Border To Get Transparency. As we've previously reported, Joe Biden has created a huge mess with illegal aliens flooding in at the border. Now the facilities that people and kids are being held in stuffed to the overflowing. On top of that, the Biden team keeps trying to sell us this narrative that they have it all under control, it's not really a crisis although sometimes they slip up on that. But even the liberal media isn't buying that it isn't. But the Biden folks have been trying to make it hard on any media trying to report what's actually going on. Texas Gov. Abbott reports COVID outbreak, no 'usable running water' at migrant holding facility. [Quoting Gov. Abbott:] We've known this is a crisis. What I learned in just the past hour shows that we are now dealing with a humanitarian disaster. I need to talk to you about two of the three locations where migrants are being held in Texas ... in addition to the Dallas location, there's the location in Carrizo Springs, which is in south Texas, as well as in Midland. What we learned in Midland, just in the past hour, [are] two things. One is they have no proven clean running water at the location. They were using well water that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has informed the federal government has not been proven to be safe. There's no telling what could be in there, including the possibility of arsenic. So the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is evaluating the water, the running water. So there is no viable, usable running water at the location in Midland. Biden admin considering flying Latin American migrants to states near Canadian border: report. As crossings along the southern border surge to near-record levels, the Biden administration is considering flying migrants to states near the Canadian border, according to a report. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requested the plane support from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Friday after 1,000 migrant families and unaccompanied minors crossed the Rio Grande into South Texas Friday morning, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials told The Washington Post. Border agents still have another 1,000 migrants they were unable to process last night, according to communications reviewed by the Post. The backups at CBP are exacerbated by the nearly 4,500 unaccompanied children being held in detention centers and tent sites at the border, many beyond the legal three-day limit. Under Biden, US Will Resemble Lands Immigrants Left. [I]mmigrants can only contribute beneficially to American society if they absorb and internalize its values and they themselves become absorbed and integrated into the overarching socio-cultural fabric of the host nation — otherwise they will, almost inevitably, become an onerous and disruptive element. But when immigrants arrive in unrestricted, unregulated masses, such integration and absorption are liable to be very difficult, indeed, virtually impossible. Thus, the social values and mores to which they are liable to be exposed and in which they remain immersed, are those of their country of origin, which they left, rather than those of the country of destination, in which they reside. As the presence of such immigrant inflows increase, the environment in which they live will inevitably begin to resemble that which they left. Thus, for example, instead of a Mexican immigrant becoming Americanized, more and more of America will be transformed into Mexico. The Editor says... 'I do not know of one individual that does not think walls work,' Border Patrol union chief says. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified to Congress this week that Border Patrol agents aren't necessarily fans of the border wall. The head of the agents' union says that's just not true. "I do not know of one individual that does not think the wall works," said Brandon Judd, an agent who is also president of the National Border Patrol Council, representing thousands of line agents. Video: Reporters Demand To Know Why They Have ZERO Access To Border Crisis. As the immigration crisis on the border worsens every day, reporters demanded Wednesday [3/17/2021] to know why they have not been given any access to facilities housing migrants, and why border officials have effectively been placed under a gag order, as reported by NBC News. During the White House press briefing, Jen Psaki was grilled by reporter after reporter on why an administration that promised transparency is doing the exact opposite. "It's now been three weeks since I think in this room, you were first asked about getting us some press access. Why [have] we still not [seen] any images inside these facilities?" one reporter asked. [Video clip] Texas Democrat Sheriff: 'Basically, the Border Is Open... Cartels are Making a Killing Right Now'. A Democrat Texas Sheriff working along the US-Mexico border weighed-in this week on the escalating humanitarian crisis sweeping the region; saying the area is "basically open" to migrants and "cartels are making a killing" through human trafficking. "Now, basically, the border's open," Sheriff J.E. Guerra told the New York Post. "The new administration came in, they changed policy, and I don't think that our federal government was prepared to have the adequate resources and you're seeing the results of that right now," the sheriff stated. "They don't have the resources, the boots on the ground, nor the infrastructure to handle what you're seeing and I believe that it's going to get worse if the administration doesn't go back, or limit the policy. So I feel for my partners, my federal partners." Kobach: Biden Planned Surge to Bring in Illegals. Goal Is Citizenship, Turn Texas Blue. President Biden knew exactly what he was doing when he reversed almost every one of his predecessors' tough immigration policies with a farago of executive orders. Biden's plan, immigration expert Kris Kobach wrote at Breitbart, was to cause the "crisis" at the border to swamp the nation with illegals. They will eventually become citizens and turn Texas blue, wrote the former Kansas secretary of state. And that, of course, means permanent Democrat control of the presidency and perhaps, the Congress. The evidence for Kobach's claim: Biden's promises of open borders, and a massive march of illegals into the country. Border agents have apprehended almost 180,000 illegals at the southern border with Mexico since Biden took office. The Biden Administration Is Imposing A Media Blackout At The Border. On Wednesday [3/17/2021], NBC News reported the Biden administration has imposed what amounts to a media blackout at the southwest border amid a worsening crisis. Border Patrol agents, including sector chiefs and press officers, are under an unofficial gag order not to answer questions from the press, according to four current and two former Customs and Border Protection officials who spoke to NBC News on condition of anonymity. Federal officials along the border, they say, have been verbally instructed — there is no official memo, no paper-trail — to deny all press requests for ride-alongs and refer all media inquiries, even from local reporters, to Washington. Officials responsible for gathering data about the number of illegal immigrants in federal custody, they say, have been told not to share that information with anyone to prevent possible leaks. House OKs path to citizenship for millions, including 'Dreamers'. The House of Representatives on Thursday [3/18/2021] voted to approve a path to citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants, including farmworkers and "Dreamers" brought to the country illegally as minors. The American Dream and Promise Act passed 228-197 with nine Republicans joining all Democrats voting in favor. The bill would benefit young migrants and refugees with Temporary Protected Status. The Farm Workforce Modernization Act passed 247-174 with 30 Republicans joining most Democrats in favor and one Democrat voting in opposition. Keywords: insolent, stonewalling, incompetent. DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas: 'Extraordinarily Disrespectful' to Ask Me About Illegal Alien Crime Victims. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas asserts it is "extraordinarily disrespectful" to ask him about American victims of crimes committed by illegal aliens. During a hearing before the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday [3/17/2021], Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) asked Mayorkas about illegal alien crime victims. Specifically, Cammack referenced the case of 19-year-old Amber Scott, a high school cheerleader at the time in Douglas County, Colorado, who was kidnapped at knifepoint in 2006 by 25-year-old illegal alien Pedro Martinez. Illegal Immigration's Consequences Are the Pits. Good Ol' Joe signed an executive order restoring asylum processing at the border, exchanging Trump's successful "catch and throw back into line" process for the former "catch and release" practice. One effect of this is that sick illegals who are caught and released are not tested for SARS-CoV2. That's some real compassion there. And now, thanks in large part to Nancy's delaying tactics, $1,400 each is flowing to an untold number of illegals. Zing! Hundreds of thousands are now surging toward our borders; many millions are seriously contemplating that move. [...] The entire border is controlled by one cartel or another; all potential illegal immigrants must pay to pass. Human traffickers force travelers into years of bondage to pay off their debts. Rape and abuse along the way are routine. Murder is not uncommon. Mexico has been corrupted and continues to be destabilized by the vast and powerful criminality these organizations manage. Some of the largest and most violent of these cartels are operating in dozens of other countries. Biden issues gag order on Border Patrol, does all he can to cover up illegal alien surge. Joe Biden has triggered a massive border surge, with the latest stats showing 100,000 detentions in last month alone. Count the people who escaped detention, as much as 80% of them, according to this 2019 exploration of the issue from leftist Politifact, and the total is much, much, higher. What's old Joe who created this mess with his many invitations to illegals to come on in to do? Instead of warning of deportations, or vowing to yank amnesty, or promising new fences, or warning of prison, or something, his cowardly solution is to deny it. Anybody notice that suddenly, there are no news pictures? No kids in cages, no human squalor, such as leaked out during the Obama administration, when Obama triggered a surge. The Border Patrol, meanwhile, reports that it's under gag orders from the White House. Texas Governor Blames Biden for Surge of Migrant Minors at Border, Seeks Access to Detainees. Texas Governor Greg Abbott in Dallas on Wednesday [3/17/2021] about the growing surge of migrants at the U.S. border with Mexico. The governor directly blamed President Joe Biden's open borders policies for the humanitarian crisis. Governor Abbott spoke at a hotel located across the street from the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas where FEMA is housing some 3,000 teenage boys ages 15 to 17. Breitbart Texas reported the teens would stay at the convention center for up to 90 days. "These sites are a direct result of President Biden's reckless open border policies that are causing a surge in crossings and cartel activity," Abbott said. "The administration has yet to provide answers that Texans deserve." Smug Jen Psaki Announces Any 10-Year Old in the World Who Makes It Across the US Southern Border Will Be Allowed to Stay Here. On Wednesday [3/17/2021] Biden White House Spokesperson Jen Psaki was asked about the endless stream of illegal aliens streaming into the US since Joe Biden opened the southern border. The US is currently facing its biggest migrant surge into the US in 20 years. Migrants Mass at U.S.-Mexico Border, Pinning Hopes on Biden. Members of a group of migrants living in a new border encampment here have a message for the new U.S. president printed on their T-shirts: "Biden please let us in!" Despite statements from the new administration that it won't let in large numbers of migrants anytime soon, hundreds of people have set up tents in a plaza just across from the U.S. border. They say they believe President Biden, who campaigned on reversing Trump administration immigration policies, will soon welcome them. "I'm paying rent [in Tijuana], but we have to be here in case they call my number," said Francisca Aguilar Garcia, pointing to a pile of blankets on a sidewalk where she and her family have slept for the past few weeks. A Honduran native, Ms. Aguilar is hoping to enter the U.S. and claim asylum along with her husband, two sons and nephew. Pelosi, Dems push citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants amid 'overwhelming' border surge. House Democrats are rushing this week to approve citizenship rights for millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S., even as the homeland security secretary warned that agents are arresting more border jumpers than they have in two decades. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has teed up votes on one bill to grant quick legal status and a path to naturalization to farmworkers and another bill to do the same for young adult "Dreamers" and other migrants in the U.S. under the Temporary Protected Status program. About half of the country's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants might be eligible under one or the other of the bills. The Editor says... Texas AG Ken Paxton Takes the Lead in Moving to Stop Biden's Radical Agenda. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton vowed to continue to take the lead in fighting the radical agenda of the Biden administration in an opinion piece for Fox News. One of Biden's earliest executive orders, which would essentially stop all immigration enforcement except in cases of espionage and terrorism, would have a significant impact on Texas. The state has the largest portion of the border with Mexico inside its state lines. Paxton filed a lawsuit alleging that this is an abdication of the administration's responsibility to enforce federally enacted laws two days after the order was signed. His filing in the Southern District of Texas resulted in a restraining order preventing the administration from implementing the moratorium on deportations. A nationwide injunction has extended this ruling. As much as district court judges' issuing nationwide orders is controversial, a porous border affects all states. Once illegal immigrants are released, they travel all over the United States to reunite with family or friends. DHS Officials Warned Biden Transition Team About Revoking Trump Border Policies, Former Top Adviser Says. Career officials from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warned then-President-elect Joe Biden's transition team that revoking President Donald Trump's border policies would have "catastrophic consequences," according to Stephen Miller, who served as Trump's top adviser on immigration issues at the White House. "Biden's transition team was warned by career DHS officials that terminating our proven border security measures would lead to catastrophic consequences. ... They ignored those warnings and voluntarily unleashed chaos," Miller wrote on Twitter on March 17. "By 2020 — defeating a flood of meritless years-long litigation — we had in place the most effective, rock-solid, profound border security measures ever realized. Biden inherited an unbeatable system. He then immediately shredded it & created this rapidly-escalating emergency." Miller, who is now a senior adviser to Trump, made the remarks in response to a news report about Biden telling Central American migrants to stay in their communities and not make the trek to the United States to cross the border illegally. Fact-Checking DHS Chief's Dishonest Statement on Border Crisis. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas released a factually challenged and misleading statement Tuesday [3/16/2021] about the crisis on the border. As specialists in immigration policy at The Heritage Foundation, we're going to correct the record here on Mayorkas' erroneous claims in a comprehensive response. Claim No. 1: "The expulsion of single adults does not pose an operational challenge for the Border Patrol ... " Rating: False. One wonders whether Mayorkas ran this line by the men and women of the Border Patrol before saying it publicly, because if he had, he would've been embarrassed to make such a claim. Our Border Patrol agents are apprehending 4,500 to 6,000 illegal aliens per day. Former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said in 2019 that under the Obama administration, 1,000 apprehensions was a crisis. We are at six times this volume today, and to suggest that dealing with this massive increase is not an operational challenge for the Border Patrol is to deny not just reality, but basic math. Biden's Migrant Blackout. Is there something missing from press coverage of the thousands of unaccompanied children who have illegally crossed the U.S. border from Mexico and are now in the custody of the Biden administration? Yes, there is something missing — pictures. Descriptions of the conditions in which the children are being held indicate a worsening situation. "Hundreds of immigrant children and teenagers have been detained at a Border Patrol tent facility in packed conditions, with some sleeping on the floor because there aren't enough mats," The Associated Press reported recently from Donna, Texas, citing nonprofit lawyers who had interviewed the children but had not been allowed to inspect the facility. Some of the young people had been held for more than a week — that's against the law — and had not been allowed to phone parents or relatives. "Despite concerns about coronavirus," the AP continued, "the children are kept so closely together that they can touch the person next to them, the lawyers said. Some have had to wait five days or more to shower, and there isn't always soap available, just shampoo, according to the lawyers." Democratic Strategist Says Media Should Pressure Biden Regarding The 'Full On Crisis' At The Border. Democratic political strategist Doug Schoen says the situation at the border is a "full on crisis" and the media is using a double standard to cover the increasingly tense situation while speaking to the Daily Caller's Brianna Lyman. "We have a crisis, a full on crisis," Schoen said. "Unless the Biden administration takes the issue on forcefully, we will have a full on crisis of politics and more important substance as we go forward." Schoen said one of the causes for the recent surge at the border is that the Democratic Party won't promote a bipartisan immigration policy. Most are not actual refugees. They're just hungry international vagrants looking for a handout. The Editor says... So the border mess is Trump's fault? The latest from the Biden White House is that they inherited a mess on the U.S.-Mexico border. [...] Yes, Biden broke it, and he needs to fix it or at least reverse course on the border. Beyond the "kids on the border," what we have here is a contrast in leadership. President Trump led by looking out for U.S. interests and enforcing the law. On the other hand, President Biden has not enforced the law and could not stand up to the immigration activists even in the middle of a pandemic. So the mess will get messier, and the voters will ask aloud: how is any of this good for me or my family? Biden should thank Trump, not blame him, for what he left. [Scroll down] This is what Biden is doing at the border. He has begun to dismantle the policies that Trump put in place to control the migrant crisis of 2018-2019. As numbers predictably surge again, his Homeland Security secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, has absurdly called out Trump for having "dismantled our nation's immigration system in its entirety." Speaker Nancy Pelosi chimed in over the weekend, claiming that "what the administration has inherited is a broken system at the border." To the contrary, Biden has done the breaking. The Trump administration had found ways, entirely in keeping with our laws, to turn away illegal immigrants during the pandemic and to discourage bogus asylum-seekers by making them wait in Mexico while their claims are adjudicated. The Biden administration has blown holes in this arrangement without any evident follow-up plan except, of course, to maintain that Trump is to blame. The border is wide open. Sara A. Carter described an "overwhelming" crisis at the U.S. Mexico border, during the Sunday night Fox News show "The Next Revolution" with Steve Hilton. Moreover, law enforcement officials attempting to mitigate the issue feel their "hands are tied," she said. Carter recently returned from two border trips to McAllen and Brownsville, Texas and Yuma, Arizona. "Many of them (migrants)... they're sitting there, people are crossing the border, turning themselves in, they're asking them to take off their shoelaces, they're asking them to remove their belts, they're basically saying 'welcome to America, you're not going to be kicked out, let's take you and get you processed,'" Carter explained. She added, "And now the problem is is that it's overwhelming right now. The facilities are overwhelmed. You have over 9,300 children in the month of February." DHS secretary: Illegal immigration on border at highest rate in two decades. The number of illegal immigrants trying to jump the border is on pace for the highest rate in two decades, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said Tuesday [3/16/2021], delivering a sobering account just a day before he is to face Congress. He placed blame for the situation on Mexico's lessening cooperation, on the conditions in other countries, on the coronavirus and on the Trump administration — but did not mention President Biden's changes, which many migrants themselves are citing as their reason for coming now. In particular, Mr. Mayorkas said the Trump team left "no plans" for protecting Border Patrol agents and others on the front lines from the coronavirus. The Editor says... Covert Biden Admin Border Tour Continues with No Media Allowed. Law enforcement sources report the acting head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will continue his southern border tour in the Del Rio Sector on Saturday. Officials denied an interview request from Breitbart Texas, calling the event a "no-media visit." CBP denied a formal request from Breitbart Texas to speak with CBP Senior Officials Performing the Duties of the Commissioner, Troy Miller, about what his observations during his border tour have been and what plans the administration has to address them. CBP officials sharply responded, "Sorry but this is strictly a no-media visit" when asked if the Acting Commissioner would allow for a media visit and answer questions. As sources previously reported, the Biden administration is tightly controlling the messaging on an ever-growing immigration crisis[.] Why you haven't seen photos from inside migrant facilities. Despite pledges of "transparency," the Biden administration has prevented the public from seeing any photos or videos from inside federal facilities where migrant children and families are being held in overcrowded rooms for longer-than-permissible periods — all amid the coronavirus pandemic. [...] Reporters have not been allowed inside buildings and tents where thousands of families and children have passed through after being apprehended on the border then transferred to other agency facilities for longer-term holding. The media were also not permitted into federal facilities prior to the Biden administration except for in rare circumstances in which the facility invited reporters for a tour. Any person visiting such a facility, including lawmakers and media, must lock up his or her phone, camera, and any other recording devices in lockers before entering areas where people are held. Dick Durbin: Biden's Amnesty Plan for Illegal Aliens 'Doesn't Have Support'. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-IL) said there is not enough support in Congress to pass President Joe Biden's amnesty plan for millions of illegal aliens. Last month, House and Senate Democrats introduced the Biden plan — known as H.R. 1177 & S. 348 — which would give amnesty to the roughly 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States while doubling annual legal immigration to the country, flooding the labor market with more foreign competition for the nation's nearly 17 million jobless Americans. The Editor says... There's a new sheriff in town. There's a new sheriff in town and he cares not a whit for you, your family, or your country. The rescinding of the "public charge" rule was the latest domino to fall in the Biden administration's abandonment of all Trump-era measures to restrict immigration and protect the border. People breaking into our country, now do so with impunity. They are still breaking the law but there is no enforcement in the wokeisphere. In the old America, if you wanted to become a citizen, you had to show proficiency in English, a basic understanding of American civics, and the ability to support yourself. Then you would get in line with all the other applicants. The impact of those requirements would now appear to be negligible with most immigrants coming here illegally. The Biden administration sees only votes and will promote any law or take any executive action that makes it easier to enter the country. On Mexico's Border With U.S., Desperation as Migrant Traffic Piles Up. The migrants' hopes have been drummed up by human smugglers who promise that President Biden's administration will welcome them. Instead, the United States is expelling them back to Mexico, where they wait along with tens of thousands of others hoping to cross. The pressure, and desperation, is quickly building among families stuck in Mexico, as shelters and officials struggle to help them. US Plans To House 3,000 Immigrant Children At Dallas Convention Center. The U.S. government plans to use the downtown Dallas convention center to hold up to 3,000 immigrant teenagers as sharply higher numbers of border crossings have severely strained the current capacity to hold youths, according to a memo obtained by The Associated Press. Feds Bus Migrant Children into West Texas Town Under Cover of Darkness. Reports from local news outlets in Midland, Texas, reveal busloads of migrant children being moved under the cover of darkness into a local holding facility. State and local officials received little or no advance notice of the federal government's plans to move these migrant children into their community. "On Sunday [3/14/2021], Governor Greg Abbott announced that the federal government planned to move some children from the border to a holding facility in Midland," CBS 7's Joshua Skinner reported. "The migrants arrived in buses overnight." Migrant Girls 'Are Being Raped,' Latino GOP Lawmakers Warn amid Biden Border Policy Shifts. President Joe Biden's policies are fueling a crisis at the southern border that endangers American citizens, puts the lives of unaccompanied children at risk, and fuels sex trafficking, a group of GOP lawmakers declared Monday [3/15/2021]. Led by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), the congressional delegation, including some of the top Republicans on committees with jurisdiction over America's southern international boundary, traveled to a section of the U.S.-Mexico Border in Texas. The Rio Grande ferry service: A riverbank, the flicker of a flashlight, frightened faces and finally a scramble into the U.S. repeated all night. It began with the flicker of a flashlight, muffled voices and the gentle splash of paddles carrying softly across the stillness of the Rio Grande Valley. As the silhouette drew closer to the shore we could suddenly see the bow of a small boat and the faces of women and children peering back at us though the gloom. Moments later the raft reached the riverbank and the dozen or so occupants began clambering on to U.S. soil with dreams of starting a new life in Joe Biden's America. Let that be a lesson to you. Biden is a liar. Bon voyage. NGOs Criticize Biden As He Flies Illegal Migrants Across Texas, Dumps Them In El Paso. The crisis on the southern border has gotten so bad that the Biden administration is now flying illegal migrants across Texas to El Paso. Once there, they are processed and dumped back into Mexico. Overcrowding of detention centers and Title 42 are the reasons cited for the change in how Biden originally decided to handle the crisis. Title 42 of the United States Code Section 265 allows CBP to quickly expel illegal migrants after they are taken into custody. President Trump ordered Title 42 to be in effect on March 21, 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic became a factor in illegal immigration. Expulsions under Title 42 are not based on immigration status. They are tracked separately from immigration enforcement actions. Title 42 specifically deals with the issue of public health. It is meant to prevent spreading COVID-19 into border facilities and further into the United States. Democratic Congressman Wonders Why Biden Hasn't Visited Border Yet. Joe Biden has yet to visit the embattled communities along the border as the migrant surge ramps up. This is unusual. For a liberal, this is a dream scenario. Not only could the president over-emote, blubbering all over the border, showing solidarity with citizens, but he could demonstrate how truly compassionate he is by embracing the new arrivals. Think of all the photo ops. But Biden has been absent and Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar wants to know where he is. The southern border crisis IS Biden's immigration plan. Pat Buchanan Sets the Record Straight on the Border Crisis. Roughly a year ago, Democrat candidates were asked on stage at the Democratic presidential debate if their healthcare program would cover illegal aliens. As [Pat] Buchanan observed, "Each raised his or her hand, including front-runner Joe Biden." By signaling their support for public assistance for illegals at the time, Democrats sent a message that amnesty and generous benefits await all illegals who enter the country. Fast forward to the present, the new and ever-growing surge at the Southern border has become the new reality now that Biden is in office. Buchanan detailed some of the lurid figures that are now beginning to surface with regards to the border: According to a White House domestic policy council document, the number of children who, without a parent or guardian, will arrive at the border in 2021 will be about 117,000 — 50% higher than the record number of children who arrived in the 2019 humanitarian crisis. Last month, Border Patrol arrested roughly 100,000 immigrants for illegal border crossings. However, Victor Manjarrez Jr., a former Border Patrol agent who teaches at Texas University, believes the reported numbers are "an undercount." Report: Biden CBP Facilities Are a Horror Show With Kids Sleeping on the Floor and Going Hungry, and It Gets Worse. Whether the Biden wants to admit it or not, it's a crisis at the border. [...] The Biden team is claiming that their response is humane, but as this new, CBS News report explains, they've reactivated a crisis — which President Donald Trump effectively solved — with their horrendous policies. So no, it isn't humane when they trigger a flood and can't effectively deal with it because of the massive amount of people. Wall Street Journal Bans Reporters from Using the Term 'Illegal Immigrant'. The Wall Street Journal, owned by billionaire Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., is banning its reporters from using the term "illegal immigrant" and "illegal" to refer to illegal aliens living in the United States. This week, in an update its style guide, the Journal states that while it will allow reporters to continue using the term "illegal immigration" to describe the process of illegal aliens arriving and staying in the U.S., it will no longer permit reporters to describe individuals as "illegal" or "illegal immigrant" in an effort to stop "labeling people." More Dems Rip Biden Over Open Border Policies: 'I Don't Care What We Call It'. As the migrant influx along the U.S.-Mexico border grew beyond crisis proportions last month and into March, Republicans regularly sounded the alarm bell that Joe Biden's reversal of President Trump's tough enforcement policies would lead to the situation getting out of control. It has, of course, though the Biden administration still won't really admit it. But what's changed is that now even Democrats are sounding the alarm, especially those who represent border states and border regions. The word the Biden administration won't use when it comes to the border? 'Crisis'. The Biden administration is facing what it admits is an "overwhelming" number of migrants at the southern border while scrambling to construct new facilities to hold child migrants — but it is doggedly refusing to describe the situation as a "crisis." Agents in the Rio Grande Valley sector in Texas are encountering 1,500 migrants a day, overwhelming the sector — and Fox News on Saturday obtained exclusive photographs of a temporary outdoor processing site there in Mission, Texas. ICE asks for volunteers to send to the border as soon as this weekend and south Texas migrant complex is SEVEN times over capacity. ICE has asked for volunteers to send to the US-Mexico border 'as soon as this weekend' as a south Texas migrant complex is seven times over capacity and reports are surfacing of children being forced to sleep on floors of detention centers. Michael Meade, ICE's acting assistant director for field operations called for the 'immediate' deployment of available personnel to the border in an urgent email to senior staff Thursday night as he warned the challenging circumstances will likely 'grow over the coming months'. More than 3,500 unaccompanied teens and children have been held in Customs Border Patrol (CBP) detention centers designed for adults in recent days as Joe Biden's easing of immigration rules has fueled a surge in migrants crossing the border. Crossings surge but the Biden administration insists there is no border crisis. Shocking video shows a massive line of migrants being smuggled across the Rio Grande into Texas, despite President Joe Biden continuing to insist there is no crisis along the southern border. The clip, which was captured on Thursday morning by former Border Security Operations Center manager Jaeson Jones, shows dozens of migrants standing on an embankment as they wait for boats to bring them across into the United States. The small boats appear to be operated by people smugglers concealing their identities in ski masks. It's time for Red States to start nullifying federal law. Here are some of the issues that could be affected by the concept of nullification: [...] [#3] Nullify open border policies. With Biden announcing his intent to grant amnesty to all illegal aliens, combined with his hostility to border security, expect the border to get out of control. Already, migrant caravans are heading to the border. States should nullify such pro-open border policies and use their resources to stop illegal immigration. The reality is that states were originally involved in setting immigration policy and indeed, used to detain and deport illegals prior to the existence of a Border Patrol or ICE. The only mention in the constitution regarding immigration is "to establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization." Team Biden knows its open-borders plan is unpopular — so why do it? "BIDEN," say the young demonstrators' T-shirts, imitating his campaign logo, "PLEASE LET US IN!" What a waste of T-shirt money: For President Biden seems determined to let in as many immigrants as want to come. The numbers are daunting. About 80,000 people tried to cross the southern border this January, double the number in January 2020. That number could easily balloon this spring, traditionally the peak migration season, with fewer COVID-19 restrictions in place. And with less cooperation from Mexico. The 2019 illegal surge was quashed by the protocol to which then-President Donald Trump got Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to agree. AMLO kept Central American would-be migrants inside Mexico, which reduced attempted border crossings and stifled the coyotes' business model. Chuck Schumer Warns Joe Biden on Border Policy: 'You've Got to Do Better'. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is warning President Joe Biden to clamp down on the uncontrolled migrant inflow at the U.S. border. "They are rolling up their sleeves and working on this. I think it will get better in the next few months," Schumer told ABC's The View on Thursday [3/11/2021], adding, "If it doesn't, I will go to them and say, 'You've got to do better.' I will be public." The Editor says... Border Democrats Are Starting To Speak Up About Biden's Immigration Policies. A number of Texas Democrats are starting to speak out against President Joe Biden's immigration policies as thousands of illegal immigrants have crossed the border in his first six weeks on the job. The Biden administration and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas have refused to say there is a crisis at the border, despite a surge in illegal immigrants trying to enter the U.S. Border agents encountered over 9,000 unaccompanied minors in February, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) acting commissioner Troy Miller announced Wednesday [3/10/2021]. Texas Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez was critical of Biden's immigration policy in early March and said there needs to be a better plan in place. Hundreds of Illegal Migrants Line Up As Smugglers Help Them Cross Rio Grande. Massive lines of illegal immigrants can be seen in this video from yesterday [3/10/2021] awaiting smugglers to help them cross the Rio Grande river into the United States. According to The Federalist [Article Here] the video was shot by "a law enforcement official whose agency and identity are hidden to protect from repercussions." [Video clip] Border Patrol Union Chief Says [the] Daily Migrant Surge [is the] Worst He's Witnessed In 24 Years. The Border Patrol union chief said Thursday [3/11/2021] on "America's Newsroom" that in 24 years of service, he has never seen a daily migrant surge like the one underway. The president of the National Border Patrol Council, which represents roughly 20,000 Border Patrol agents, said the public should be "very concerned" and asserted that if the increase continues, the Border Patrol will [have] apprehend more people in 2021 than in any previous year in its history. Biden's Border Czar To Migrants, In Spanish: The Border Is Closed. This is the second time in the last two weeks that a top U.S. immigration official has resorted to begging people not to come. I think it might be all they're willing to do by way of "enforcement" to deter child migrants from entering the country. [...] But the border isn't closed. We know that the number of unaccompanied minors arriving each day has been increasing over the past two weeks. We also know that the Border Patrol is so overwhelmed with managing that crisis and housing kids temporarily until HHS shelters can take them that it's gotten easier for adults to cross the border illegally, with reports recently of more than a thousand people observed entering the U.S. in a single day. With a pro-amnesty Democrat in the White House and the left wing of his base agitating against any sort of enforcement measures, this is the best opportunity immigrants have had in years to gain admission to the U.S. No amount of polite scolding by Jacobson is going to blind them to that fact. Furious Sheriff Spreads Photos of Biden's 'Crime Scene'. The fact that President Joe Biden stopped work on the border wall — even the sections we'd already paid for — is of little surprise. After all, the wall was nothing less than former President Donald Trump's signature project. He'd made some headway on it, and that headway was going to be stopped — even if the contracts were signed, the materials had been delivered and the work had begun. The surprise was that Biden left the project in a state where not only was there not a wall to protect against smugglers, but there was infrastructure left behind that acted to aid the smugglers the wall was supposed to protect against. Leftists' inconsistencies are catching up with them. Going back at least as far as Franklin Roosevelt, Democrats have been the blue-collar party. And going back to the Civil Rights movement, even though the Democrats had to be dragged kicking and screaming into supporting the Civil Rights Act, they've positioned themselves as the party of Blacks. However, over the past four years, Democrats transformed from being highly supportive of illegal immigrants to a completely open borders party. Biden, despite having sworn to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States, has erased entirely U.S. sovereignty and all immigration laws. Now, blue-collar workers and Blacks (two strongly overlapping groups) have realized that the Democrat party has just invited in millions of people who will take their jobs, lower their wages, compete with them for housing, bring more crime to their neighborhoods, and overwhelm their schools. Biden Broke The Border, Now He Owns The Crisis. Just one week ago, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas flat out denied that there is a crisis at the southern border. "The answer is no," he said in answer to a reporter's question. "I think there is a challenge at the border that we are managing." The very next day, administration officials informed President Joe Biden that the number of migrant children in the U.S. is on pace to beat the previous record by 45% and that there aren't enough beds to accommodate them. Then Monday [3/8/2021], Mayorkas started pleading for volunteers to help Border Protection cope with the "overwhelming" surge of illegal border crossers. "Your colleagues need assistance," he said. Biden Border Crisis Escalating Dangerously Across the Southwest. An unprecedented flood of migrants heading for the United States from the Mexican border has created a dangerous crisis that has the Biden administration scrambling to react. And when CNN is the one reporting it, you know it must be very bad. [...] Things have gotten so bad that Alejandro Mayorkas, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, is asking DHS staff to volunteer to help deal with what he is calling an "overwhelming" number of migrants at the U.S.-Mexican border. Correcting the Biden Administration's Lies About the Border Crisis. What is happening right now on the border and within the United States regarding illegal immigration is being misrepresented by the Biden administration and much of the media. Most nightly television broadcasts do not even mention the chaos on the border, what is causing it and what the government is doing in response. When they do, they merely copy the administration's talking points that are inaccurate and misleading. There is currently a surge at the border. Border Patrol is apprehending more than 4,000 people a day. There was one day last week that they arrested over 4,700 people. They are calculating that there is an additional 500-1,000 escaping apprehension daily. Those that are getting away are estimated by sensor traffic and camera traffic that Border Patrol couldn't quickly respond to. DHS Alejandro Mayorkas Admits: 'Overwhelming Numbers of Migrants' Rushing Southern Border. With the relaxed border policies of President Joe Biden, "overwhelming numbers of migrants" are rushing the U.S. border, according to Alejandro Mayorkas, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). [...] Mayorkas' admission is a major change from his March 1 statement at the White House, where he described the rising rush as a "stressful challenge," but not a crisis. "I think the answer is no," Mayorkas responded when he was asked if the rush of migrants is a border crisis. "I think there is a challenge at the border that we are managing, and we have our resources dedicated to managing it." Biden Admin Restricts Senior DHS Officials from Sharing Border Crisis Info with Reporters. A senior-level law enforcement source in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Breitbart Texas they received verbal orders from within the agency limiting their ability to speak freely about the growing crisis along the border. The official with knowledge of the restrictions spoke under the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak on the matter. "The situation with media relations now is night and day compared to the last administration, The official said. "We have been advised not to speak on immigration issues at the border and to rely on DHS's Office of Public Affairs and the Whitehouse Press Office to handle messaging." Arizona and Montana Take Legal Action Against Biden Admin ICE Arrest Regulations. Arizona and Montana are taking legal action to block new Biden administration immigration regulations, saying that these would cause negative consequences for the states. The new rules would limit the capability of ICE to detain some illegal immigrants unless they pose a threat to national security, entered through the border after Nov. 1, or committed aggravated felonies. The Biden administration says that the rules don't impair arresting or deporting people, but the officers in the field would need to request permission from their superiors to arrest people outside of the aforementioned cases. Volunteers? Like a militia perhaps? AZ Border Chief Says Illegal Immigration On Track To Top Past Three Years Combined: 'Already Surpassed' 2018. A U.S. Border Patrol official said that illegal immigration is on track this financial year to top the past three years combined. John Modlin, the interim chief in charge of the Border Patrol's Tucson sector, revealed how large the ongoing flood of illegal immigration has grown over the past several months. Modlin said that if the current pace continues unabated, illegal immigration will top all of 2018, 2019, and 2020 combined. "So right now we're about a hundred percent over where we were this time, this last fiscal year. We've already surpassed in the first four months of this fiscal year. We've already surpassed all of 2018. If the flow continues at the rate it is here, by the end of this fiscal year, we will have surpassed '18, '19 and '20, all combined," Modlin told Sharyl Attkinson, host of "Full Measure with Sharyl Attkinson." Border agents have arrested nearly 300,000 illegal immigrants trying to enter the United States over the past four months alone. Analysis: Biden's Open Border Policies May Not Work Out After All. The situation at the southern border is deteriorating rapidly enough that even normally Democrat-friendly media outlets are feeling obligated to report on it. Over at The Hill, Brett Samuels provides an analysis of the current trends and the conditions that immigration officials and illegal immigrants are facing. The huge numbers of unaccompanied minors being picked up by border security is rapidly overwhelming the capacity of facilities all along the border to process. The current situation is being described as a crisis, even by some Democrats and Biden supporters and there doesn't seem to be any plan in place to deal with the surging numbers. One Texas state senator told The Hill that the current situation "is fast becoming a crisis and that officials there do not have the resources they need to process the migrants or to test them all for COVID-19." Reminder: All of these people came to the U.S. voluntarily, expecting to get something for nothing. Biden's Border Brouhaha is Just the Start. Wow, who could have foreseen that the illegals would be swarming the border? Surely the Biden people are in touch with the activist groups that are distributing Biden Let Me In t-shirts. And, by the way, we military history readers know that armies of migrants heading across Central America for the U.S. border don't feed themselves. They aren't feeding themselves "off the land" as armies from Xenophon's Ten Thousand to Sherman's "bummers" have done down the ages. Someone is organizing the feeding of these people, and someone is paying for it. I wonder who? [...] But what about the current People of Color citizens? Do not you activists — "allies" every one — care that the unskilled migrants you bring into the country are competing with historically marginalized oppressed peoples for jobs? And that they lower the wage level, and that if you raise the minimum wage it will just distort the labor market more and make everyone from the white working class on down more despairing? White House says it must 'work more' to discourage illegal migrants coming to US. Thousands of illegal immigrants are being set free across the country as the crisis on the southern border escalates — and the White House admitted Monday it isn't doing enough to discourage people from seeking unlawful entry to the United States. Speaking to reporters during a press briefing, White House press secretary Jen Psaki acknowledged the failures after being pressed about the administration's handling of the situation. "I would say it's clear we need to work more on getting the message out and being very clear, now is not the time to come," said Psaki, before reiterating the Biden administration's claim that "the majority of people who come to the border are turned away." Biden Designating Venezuela For Temporary Protected Status — Estimated 300,000 Living In US Will Be Eligible. The Department of Homeland Security will designate more than 300,000 Venezuelans living in the U.S. illegally for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) on Monday evening, senior administration officials told reporters ahead of the announcement. The officials said the new designation marks a departure from the Trump administration's "unilateral" approach to Venezuela and will last for 18 months, as is customary of TPS designations. The move marks one part of the Biden administration's attempts to have U.S. allies increase pressure on Venezuela President Nicolas Maduro to engage in legitimate negotiations with Venezuela interim President Juan Guaido and the opposition party. Cesar Chávez would have hated the Biden administration. Biden has issued executive orders that ban enforcing immigration law while simultaneously inviting in a new wave of illegal aliens. These E.O.s also suspend deporting illegal aliens, even those awaiting trial for felonies and other serious crimes, and signal that all new arrivals will be eligible for social benefits such as health care. Cesar Chávez's struggle in the 1970s and '80s can help explain the impact this will have on labor markets in general and working-class Americans in particular. Chávez understood that illegal immigration diminishes workers' earning power. Chávez, although erroneously described as a civil rights leader, was a labor leader who struggled tirelessly for his Campesinos in the United Farm Workers Union. [...] Chávez's most formidable obstacle was the inexhaustible supply of cheap, illegal labor flooding over the border. Want to understand why we're so divided? [Thread reader] Take a moment & examine the misinformation here (both deliberate & inadvertent). FACT 1: Dem spending bill sends $1400 to each adult in US. FACT 2: Dems voted against my amendment to prohibit sending those $$ to criminals (murderers, rapists, child molesters) currently IN PRISON. EVERY Dem voted to send criminals the $$. FACT 3: I then called up my amendment to prohibit illegal aliens from getting the $1400 checks. FACT 4: Durbin then screamed "liar!" and insisted no illegal immigrants would get $$ because the bill requires social security numbers. FACT 5: Lefty "press" outlets, like Daily Beast, dutifully repeated Durbin's charge. They did ZERO fact checking [of] their own, just said that my claim that illegal immigrants would get the $$ was "false." FACT 6: Lefty pundits & celebrities like Morgan Fairchild happily repeat the charge that I "lied." They know none of the facts, but in this politically charged world, the other side must always be wrong. FACT 7: As it so happens, it was Durbin who was lying, and he knew it. Why? FACT 8: There are 12mm or more illegal immigrants. 60% of them are from visa overstays. Many (if not most) of them have social security numbers. FACT 9: When Durbin said "illegal immigrants don't have social security numbers," he was deliberately saying something false, knowing it would be repeated. FACT 10: Under the bill's language, MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS will get the $1400 checks. Biden Admin Restricts Senior DHS Officials From Sharing Border Crisis Info With Reporters. A senior-level law enforcement source in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Breitbart Texas they received verbal orders from within the agency limiting their ability to speak freely about the growing crisis along the border. The official with knowledge of the restrictions spoke under the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak on the matter. "The situation with media relations now is night and day compared to the last administration, The official said. "We have been advised not to speak on immigration issues at the border and to rely on DHS's Office of Public Affairs and the Whitehouse Press Office to handle messaging." Dan Crenshaw shares videos of him touring border in a helicopter, says situation is 'unstable'. Rep. Dan Crenshaw posted videos of himself taking a helicopter tour of the southern border, saying the situation there is "unstable" and footage showing large stretches of unfinished border wall. "Right now, I'm at the CBP station in Edinburg; just got a briefing from Texas Department of Public Safety," Crenshaw said. "And look, here's going to be the big takeaway from today and everything we've put out about what's going on on the border: The situation is completely unstable. That's the takeaway." Crenshaw added that the state of Texas has been forced to pick up the bill for the federal government's lack of enforcement at the border. John Ratcliffe: "Biden Created the Border Crisis, Biden Owns The Border Crisis". Former Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, appears on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo to discuss HR1 and the escalating border crisis. Ratcliffe rightly notes the policies of President Trump had stopped the border crisis. U.S. agreements with Central American nations along with diplomatic terms with Mexico were working and the influx of illegal immigrants was essentially halted. However, as Biden has reversed all of the Trump policies the explosion of the border crisis is entirely his responsibility. "Biden has created the current border crisis, and Biden owns the current border crisis." [Video clip] Do We Even Have A Republic Anymore? You know, it's illegal for foreigners to come into our country without us inviting them. There are laws, lots of them, that say that's not allowed. And the laws further say that illegal aliens are to be rounded up and shipped home. I took high school civics back about the time Reagan was in his first term and apparently stuff has since changed, but according to my civics class, the president is supposed to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed." [...] So now, apparently, it's totally fine to ignore laws the elite doesn't like even though they are laws that our representatives enacted. In the case of immigration, that means just order all the little executive branch functionaries not to function. So, suddenly, everyone from Tijuana south is heading north. Effectively, the laws our reps made have been repealed. Except you and I never got a say in that repeal. We said — and we know we did because it's a law — that we didn't want this. Hundreds Of Illegals Walk Across Border Into Arizona. Video captured this past weekend shows a steady flow of migrants walking into Arizona from Mexico completely unimpeded. The footage was tweeted by U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) who wrote "The tip of the iceberg near Yuma, AZ as immigrants begin to flood into the US responding to @JoeBiden's open border, catch and release policy." The Senator added "How many have COVID?" [Video clip] This is why an insurmountable wall is needed at the border: Gov. Abbott Deploys Texas National Guard, State Troopers to Counter Biden's 'Open Border Policies'. Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the deployment of the state's National Guard and State Troopers to respond to the growing border crisis. Governor Abbott announced Operation Lone Star "to combat the smuggling of people and drugs into Texas" on Saturday [3/6/2021]. The operation will integrate the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) with the National Guard, Abbott said. He is ordering the deployment of air, ground, marine, and tactical border security assets to high threat areas. Ariz. Sheriff Blasts Biden, Says He 'Owns' Current Border Crisis; 'We Had It Under Control'. Law enforcement officials along the U.S. southwest border who enjoyed a huge respite in illegal alien traffic under the Trump administration are now having to deal with hordes of new migrant crossings thanks to major reversals of Trump's policies by Joe Biden. In an interview last week with Fox News, Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels blasted Biden for those policy reversals, all of which came via executive order, saying that now there is are once again serious problems on the border. Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels slammed President Joe Biden during a Fox News interview this week for the ongoing crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border, saying that Biden's reversal of the last administration's policies has caused a serious problem on the border. Texas Democratic Rep: 'We Are Weeks, Maybe Even Days Away From a Crisis on the Southern Border'. Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) has been sounding the alarm for weeks about the growing crisis at the southern border, telling anyone who would listen that the crisis is real and will spiral out of control unless something is done. Cueller hasn't exactly hit the panic button, but the reality is that numbers don't lie. About 10,000 people trying to enter the United States last week were apprehended — 2,500 in the last two days alone. Border Patrol data shows that In October 2020, there were 71,922 apprehensions, while in November, data showed 72,091 apprehensions. In January, data showed a significant rise with 78,323 apprehensions. "We are weeks, maybe even days, away from a crisis on the southern border. Inaction is simply not an option," said Congressman Cuellar. "Our country is currently unprepared to handle a surge in migrants in the middle of the pandemic." Trump Slams Joe Biden on Border Crisis in Scathing Statement. Donald Trump slammed Joe Biden on his failure to secure the border which has led to a spiraling crisis. Joe Biden's decision to undo Trump's border policies created a massive surge of migrants and unaccompanied migrant children. Because of Joe Biden and his globalist handlers, more than 117,000 unaccompanied children are on track to show up to the border this year. Super Spreader Joe Biden is also releasing COVID positive migrants into the U.S. interior. Report: Biden Transforming ICE Detention Facilities into 'Rapid-Processing' Centers. The Biden Administration is turning ICE long-term detention facilities for migrant families into rapid-processing reception and release centers. The re-designated hubs will move migrant families more quickly from the border region into the U.S. interior. ICE officials told immigration advocates and relief organizations they are ending long-term detention of migrant families, the San Antonio Express-News reported last week. The facilities will be "rebranded" as "reception centers," the ICE officials stated. The plan by Biden officials is to convert the long-term family detention centers in South Texas into "Ellis Island-style rapid-processing hubs" with a stated goal of releasing migrant families into the U.S. interior within 72 hours, the Washington Post revealed. Cartels Introduce Wristband 'Inventory System' For Illegal Immigrants. The Biden administration says there's no crisis at the border, although the numbers of unaccompanied minors coming across right now, and the federal government's scramble to find housing for them, say otherwise. But migrant children are only part of the story. What most news outlets are not reporting is the surge in adults crossing the border illegally, ferried over the Rio Grande and escorted into the U.S. by smuggling networks that contract with powerful cartels to bring people in without being apprehended by Border Patrol. These operations are sophisticated — so sophisticated that smugglers are now requiring migrants to wear wristbands as a way to keep track of who has paid and which smuggling outfit is in charge of whom. Jaeson Jones, a retired captain for the Texas Department of Public Safety and owner of Tripwires and Triggers, which tracks cartel activity on the border, shared images with The Federalist of discarded wristbands on the U.S. side of the border that he says "represent a process that says which smuggler group has moved them," as well as other information. America's elites are waging class war on workers and small biz. In America, class warfare is often disguised as culture war, and culture war is often cloaked by talk of race. But underneath it all, the class warfare is still there. Whether accidentally or intentionally, America's upper classes seem to wind up harming the working class and small businesses, always in the name of some high-minded cause. On immigration, for example, the go-to move is to call people who object to open borders racists and nativists. But what's behind it? As Biden economic adviser Jared Bernstein commented: "A tight job market pressures employers to boost wage offers ... One equally surefire way to short-circuit this useful dynamic is to turn on the immigrant spigot every time some group's wages go up." Immigration as a way of keeping working-class wages down. Biden's US-Mexico border pullback creating 'roads for the cartels,' Arizona sheriff says. The U.S.-Mexico border region in Arizona is becoming less secure since President Biden took office, a sheriff is alleging, according to a report. "We just built roads for the cartels," Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels said, according to the Washington Times. Dannels explained that by halting work on the border wall championed by former President Donald Trump, the Biden administration has left intact the high-speed roads that were built to help Border Patrol agents manage the region — but is failing to follow through with the barrier that was planned to keep illegal immigrants and smugglers of humans and drugs out of the U.S. Biden administration denies there's a border crisis, but here's the reality. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas sparked a debate this week when he said that the situation on the southern border is not a crisis but a "challenge." The comment triggered raucous rebuttals from Republicans, and even one Democrat, who said the releases of untested migrants into Texas border communities during a pandemic is reason for major concern. But what is a border crisis? U.S. law does not define the term. [...] Border officials anticipate 117,000 children will arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border without a parent or guardian in 2021. The number is higher than the 68,000 taken into custody during the 2014 surge of solo children, which Obama termed an "actual humanitarian crisis." It's greater than the 80,000 who arrived during the 2019 surge, which then-DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen called "a humanitarian and security crisis." Number of Illegal Border Crossings Now 6 Times What Obama Team Considered 'Crisis'. According to former officials in the Obama administration, the standard for a border crisis was 1,000 attempted crossings a day. Who was on the team that set that standard? President Joe Biden — then vice president — and Alejandro Mayorkas, then deputy secretary, and now secretary, of homeland security. When the Trump administration ended, the U.S. was deporting more people than were illegally coming into the country. In less than a month under Biden, the number of people illegally coming into the country is more than 6,000 per day — that's six times the crisis level as set by the Obama team. According to a source with knowledge of what's happening at our southern border, the Border Patrol, in one day, encountered 4,700 people trying to illegally enter the U.S. About another 900 were observed but not detained. In addition, another 400 were detained and sent back. This volume is straining resources at the border. Texas Dem Sounds Alarm on Pending Biden Immigration Crisis: 'The Impression Is That the Border's Open'. According to multiple reports, the Biden administration is facing an impending border crisis. "We're seeing the highest February numbers than we've ever seen in the history of the [Unaccompanied Alien Child] program," a Department of Health and Human Services official told Axios last week, while the Wall Street Journal reported that the February number is expected to be 9,000 — up 50 percent from January and 68 percent higher than December. So far, the Biden team has stressed that the situation is not a crisis, even as the Department of Homeland Security is reportedly projecting 117,000 border crossings by unaccompanied minors this year — 45 percent higher than the all-time record. "We are not saying don't come. We are saying don't come now, because we will be able to provide a safe and orderly process to them" DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a White House press conference on Monday. Migrants wear Biden T-shirts at US-Mexico border, demand clearer policies. Migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border on Tuesday were photographed wearing T-shirts in support of President Biden at the San Ysidro crossing port in Tijuana, Baja California state. One apparent migrant held up a poster that read, "Biden, please let us in!" Prospective U.S. residents and progressive Democrats are hoping the new president will implement more lenient immigration policies than former President Trump, though some politicians like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., have expressed concern with Biden's use of migrant holding facilities at the border. Become an illegal alien to the US! Win big prizes, get free stuff — with no taxes. Are you almost broke because of medical bills? Does your job, that you're lucky to have, leave you so exhausted that you have no time or patience for your family?

Become an illegal alien to the United States, and all these problems — and more! — are solved! Free! Asylum Seekers 'Stream' Into U.S. After Biden Revokes 'Remain In Mexico' Policy. Asylum seekers who were instructed to "remain in Mexico" under the Trump administration's heavily immigration restrictions are now "streaming" across the southern border, according to the Daily Mail, in the hopes of being allowed to either put their case before an American immigration court or be allowed to remain in the United States pending an asylum hearing. "The first asylum seekers have crossed the Gateway International Bridge from Mexico to the US after Joe Biden overturned Donald Trump's tough immigration policies," the outlet reported Sunday [2/28/2021]. "Men, women, and children from a migrant camp of at least 700 in Matamoros, Mexico, just across the river from Brownsville, Texas, have been crossing into the United States after spending months stuck in Mexico waiting for their cases to be processed." ICE locks Twitter account that alerted public of illegal immigrants freed by sanctuary cities. ICE has locked down a Twitter account that was used to alert the public to illegal immigrants released by sanctuary cities. @ICEAlerts is now "protected," meaning only those who had already been following the account can see the target names. Users also can't retweet the old posts, said Jon Feere, a former senior employee at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under President Trump. ICE did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the change, but Mr. Feere said the Biden administration doesn't want people to know what kinds of criminals it's no longer actively seeking to deport. The Editor says... Biden Ends Trump's 'Remain in Mexico' Rule, and a Border Camp Empties. There were about 700 people in the Matamoros camp before the U.S. started admitting them. At the current rate of crossings, the camp could be cleared out in days. Any decision to close it will be made by Mexican authorities. Emptying the camp in Matamoros would eliminate a symbol of Trump's immigration crackdown and count as an early success for Biden, who aims to undo his predecessor's most draconian anti-immigrant policies. The move comes as the new administration prepares for a battle to pass a sweeping immigration reform bill and as it draws criticism for reopening a Trump-era shelter for migrant children in Texas. Meanwhile, the number of migrants crossing the southern border is surging. Border agents have detained 70,000 people illegally crossing per month since October, a sharp increase from a year ago. Sara Carter: Biden immigration policy [is] 'perpetuating violence at the border'. Following the conclusion of CPAC 2021 on Sunday, Fox News contributor Sara A. Carter went after the Biden administration on its immigration policy, which she said "is perpetuating violence at the border." Speaking to the Fox News program "The Next Revolution with Steve Hilton," Carter said that former President Donald Trump "was 100% right when he talked about today at CPAC that the Biden administration's policy at the border — this open borders policy — is perpetuating violence at the border and as well as a surge [...] with [sic] children and minors and unaccompanied families at the border." Biden administration plans to open another tent facility for migrants on the Texas border. The Biden administration is planning to open another facility in south Texas to expand processing capacity for children and families arriving at the US-Mexico border, a Department of Homeland Security official confirmed to CNN. It's the latest move by the administration to address the growing number of migrant families and unaccompanied children at the US southern border. Earlier this month, US Customs and Border Protection also announced the opening of a "soft-sided" structure in Donna, Texas, to help with intake. In January, more than 5,800 unaccompanied children and nearly 7,500 families were taken into custody by Customs and Border Protection at the US-Mexico border, according to the agency's most recent monthly data. And numbers are expected to continue to rise. Biden's getting exactly the border crisis he asked for. A new year, a new president, a return of an old problem: unaccompanied children crossing the border in droves. Thousands of children — usually older teens, 16 or 17, but Border Patrol agents report increasing numbers of kids younger than 13 — are arriving each month from Central America. On Thursday [2/25/2021], a Customs and Border Protection staffer reportedly told top Biden administration officials to expect a peak of 13,000 unaccompanied minors to cross the border in May — the highest level ever. Trump: Joe Biden Opens America to Refugees, Keeps Americans in Lockdown. President Joe Biden is opening the United States to thousands more refugees from around the world while keeping American citizens in lockdowns during the Chinese coronavirus crisis, former President Donald Trump said Sunday [2/28/2021]. During a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), Trump said that while millions of Americans remain under social and economic lockdown orders, Biden is increasing refugee resettlement by nearly 960 percent next Fiscal Year. The Progressives are the extremists. Progressives are the extremists when it comes to immigration. Progressives want an open border; they are allowing illegals in without criminal checks and COVID testing. A country without borders will not be a sovereign country much longer. Maybe that is the Globalists' intent. Biden: Undocumented immigrants should get vaccine without ICE targeting them. President Biden said Friday [2/26/2021] that undocumented immigrants should be able to receive the COVID-19 vaccine without fear of being targeted by U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Biden make the remark during an interview with Univision during his visit to a vaccination site in Texas. "I want to make sure they are able to get vaccinated and so they're protected from COVID without the ICE or anyone interfering," Biden said. "They should... not be arrested for showing for being able to get a vaccination." Biden also said he plans to make sure undocumented immigrants have food, noting that his $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief proposal increases funding for nutrition assistance. Surge of 13,000 Central American minors to US border expected in May. Customs and Border Protection officials are bracing for as many as 13,000 unaccompanied children crossing into the U.S. in May, according to a report. "We're seeing the highest February numbers that we've ever seen in the history of the [Unaccompanied Alien Child] program," a Health and Human Services official told Axios. The record surge of migrant kids will require a continued expansion of the country's network of migrant-child shelters, where capacity has already been reduced due to coronavirus social-distancing protocols, the report said. HHS is working with the Pentagon on securing space on military bases, where overflows of migrants were housed in tent-like structures during 2014 and 2019, the report said. The Border Surge is Underway, and the Biden Administration is Unprepared. The border crisis that anyone could have seen coming is finally here, thanks largely to the actions of the Biden administration over the past few months. It turns out that promising to roll back Trump-era immigration restrictions, signing a raft of executive orders to that effect, and then introducing a mass amnesty bill sends the message that if you can get across the U.S.-Mexico border, you can stay. Plenty of families in Mexico and Central America have gotten the message. According to a recent report in the Washington Post, for the past four months U.S. Border Patrol has taken into custody more than 70,000 illegal immigrants a month — the most for this period in a decade. Biden launches free taxi to destination of choice for illegal migrants. Illegal aliens are in for some gravy. Unlike legal immigrants who must pay their own way to their final destinations in this 5,077-mile span country, the Biden administration has introduced free flights for illegals to their destination of choice. Want a free trip to Hawaii? Off you go, courtesy of U.S. taxpayers but only if you arrive in the U.S. illegally and can name someone (legal or not) there who will take you in. Every Illegal Claiming Asylum Gets An Average Of $1100 In Loans And Can Then Disappear No MSM Coverage. According to a new study released by FAIR, the annual cost to U.S. taxpayers is $1.8 billion and over five years, that financial burden skyrockets to $8.8 billion. Those figures are only estimates because refugees will access welfare and other government assistance at different rates and the number of refugees entering the U.S also changes from year-to-year. DHS warns ICE to 'Prepare for border surges now'. The Biden team is talking a tough game on new illegal immigration, but behind the scenes it's making frantic efforts to get ready for what it expects to be massive "border surges" of migrants streaming north over the next months, according to an internal Homeland Security Department email. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is scrambling to find bigger airplanes and figure out more ground transport capacity for soaring numbers of illegal immigrants, and is even talking with a company that runs "Man Camps" for oil workers in Texas to see whether it will rent bed space for the incoming wave of illegal immigrants. New Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told ICE that cost is no issue, and to cancel contracts and sign new ones without worry about the price tag, according to the email from ICE Chief of Staff Timothy Perry. Mr. Mayorkas said he is also pondering diverting money from the border wall "to backfill budgets later," the email said. Lowered standards: Biden rolls back Trump's tougher citizenship test. President Biden's latest move toward a less stringent immigration system will feature a change in the required civic examination citizenship applicants must take. Announced in a Policy Alert on Monday [2/23/2021], the civics examination requirement implemented in December 2020 will switch to an earlier version implemented in 2008. The 2020 civic exam featured 128 possible questions on the exam. With Biden's new order, it will switch to the 100 possible questions seen in the 2008 version. Some content will be altered as well. The policy alert did not specify what these changes would be. U.N. Helps Biden Bring Migrant Asylum Seekers Back into U.S.. The United Nations is reportedly helping the Biden Administration find more asylum-seeking migrants to get back into the United States after they were removed to Mexico or Central America to await asylum processing under the Trump administration's Migrant Protection Protocols. President Joe Biden canceled the program after taking office on January 21. "Hundreds of migrants signed up on Friday within hours of the launch of a U.N. website that allows migrants with active cases to register remotely to be processed at the U.S.-Mexico border," Reuters reported. "The United States and the United Nations are evaluating the locations of migrants and costs associated with possible flights and land transportation within Mexico." Jen Psaki Defends Joe Biden Reopening Border Detention Center: 'This Is Not Kids Being Kept in Cages'. White House press secretary Jen Psaki defended the decision by President Joe Biden's administration to reopen a detention center for migrant children on Monday. More than 200 migrant teenagers on Monday were sent to a reopened facility in Carrizo Springs, Texas, according to CBS News, with plans to expand the number of detained children to 700 in facilities across the country. Both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris strongly condemned such facilities during the 2020 presidential campaign, accusing former President Donald Trump of putting children and "babies in cages." White House denies 'kids in cages' hypocrisy charge as detention centers reopen. One person's "kids in cages" is another's "reopening overflow facilities." The Biden White House is being accused of hypocrisy for reopening border facilities to house migrant teenagers — including one that both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris savaged then-President Donald Trump about on the campaign trail and before. Biden blasted Trump repeatedly for separating families and failing to reunite them, decrying during an October debate that migrant children were "ripped from their [parents'] arms and separated." Harris, then a senator, said in 2018 at the peak of the family separation controversy that Trump's treatment of migrants was a "crime against humanity." Biden administration reportedly planning to dismantle ICE immigration enforcement. The Biden administration is reportedly considering overhauling Immigration and Customs Enforcement in a way that would terminate the jobs of thousands of officers tasked with arresting and deporting immigrants illegally residing in the United States. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas is understood to have recently introduced a plan to do away with ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations arm and convert those officers into agents who investigate transnational crime instead of going after illegal immigrants. The consideration comes after Mayorkas testified before senators in his confirmation hearing last month and said that he did not think ICE should be abolished. Garland Refuses to Say If Illegal Entry Should Remain a Crime; Makes Strange, Confused Comment About What Happened on Jan. 6. Merrick Garland was just a horrible witness on his own behalf today [2/22/2021]. He couldn't stop saying um, uh, any time he was asked a question and the answers he gave were batty. As we reported earlier, he indicated that attacking a federal courthouse at night, as Antifa was wont to do in Portland, wasn't necessarily domestic terrorism if it was done at night. Biden AG Nominee Merrick Garland Refuses to Call Illegally Crossing the Border a Crime. Joe Biden's pick for Attorney General refused to state that illegally crossing our border is a crime during his nomination hearing on Monday[2/22/2021]. During the hearing, Sen. Josh Hawley asked the nominee, Merrick Garland, if he believes that illegally crossing our borders should remain a crime. "Do you believe that illegal entry at America's borders should remain a crime?" Hawley asked. [Video clip] "I haven't thought about that question... uhhh... uhhhhhhh... I just haven't thought about that question," Garland reluctantly replied. "I think the uh, the uh, president has, uh, made clear that we are a country of uh with borders and uh a concern about national security. Um, I don't know of proposal to uh decriminalize, but um, still make it unlawful to uh, enter." Homeland Security plan would effectively abolish ICE. The Biden administration might not need to abolish ICE. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has floated a plan to reorganize the federal deportation agency to the point where it's not doing much arresting and deporting from inside the country anymore. Mr. Mayorkas revealed his idea last week in a telephone meeting with agency personnel in Texas, according to several sources familiar with the conversation, who said he proposed taking members of the country's 4,000-strong deportation force off the streets and converting them into criminal investigators. They would no longer be focused on enforcing laws against illegal presence, which would have the effect of slashing arrests and deportations. Tennessee Sen. Bill Hagerty Calls Out Joe Biden For Ending Immigration Policies That Protect Americans. Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) sent a letter on Wednesday to President Joe Biden expressing his opposition to the White House ending Trump administration immigration policies that protect Americans. "I have serious concerns regarding reports that you are planning to terminate the Trump Administration's Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) policy and return to a catch-and-release policy with respect to persons crossing the border," Hagerty posted on social media with a copy of the letter attached. Search underway for 100+ undocumented immigrants who fled from refrigerated truck, Texas sheriff says. A massive search was underway Friday [2/19/2021] after more than 100 undocumented immigrants jumped out of a refrigerated truck and fled into the woods in sub-freezing weather, Texas authorities said. The incident happened Thursday evening as Bexar County deputies were investigating a report of people running out of air inside a truck that was smuggling immigrants through the U.S.-Mexico border. When deputies arrived at the San Antonio-area gas station where the vehicle was parked, "a large crowd of people poured out of the truck and ran to the woods," Sheriff Javier Salazar said. About 50 of them were located and found to be in good health, but Salazar believes the truck was carrying as many as 200 people and authorities are now worried about their condition given the brutal winter storm battering the South. Opportunists? In this weather? Biden's Massive Amnesty Bill is Here. Democrat Senator Bob Menendez and a number of other leftist lawmakers on Capitol Hill will officially introduce a massive amnesty bill backed by the White House and President Joe Biden Thursday morning. The legislation will be known as the "U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021" and rewards at least 11 million people who came to the country illegally. 6 Key Aspects of Biden's Amnesty Bill. President Joe Biden is promoting an immigration bill that could grant amnesty to up to 20 million illegal immigrants. [...] The Biden White House released an outline of the amnesty legislation on his first day in office. In what could be a deal-killer for gaining any Republican support, the legislation doesn't include proposals for increased border security, according to The Associated Press. This comes as Biden has rolled back several major border security measures through executive action. White House says Biden backs citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants, ahead of bill unveiling. The White House on Tuesday reaffirmed that President Joe Biden backs a controversial plan to create a pathway to citizenship for at least 11 million illegal immigrants — as the White House and congressional Democrats are expected to formally unveil a sweeping immigration bill as soon as this week. "There certainly is part of the proposal that the president outlined and proposed on Day One that is an earned pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the country," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said. A pathway to citizenship for all illegal immigrants in the country has long been a top item on liberal wishlists, and Biden promised such a plan if elected. Estimates generally put the illegal immigrant population at about 11 million, although others suggest that could be higher. Biden Policies Force Release Of 200 Migrants Into West Texas Border Community. Law Enforcement sources report the release of more than 200 mostly Central American family units into a West Texas border community. The Biden administration's cancellation of swift removal policies for Central American migrants forced Border Patrol officials to begin the releases of certain migrants immediately. The recent dismantling of international agreements by the Biden administration created a backlog of migrants being detained in Border Patrol facilities. Due to these changes, the Border Patrol will begin to release Central American family groups that cannot be removed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to their home countries, according to information obtained from sources with knowledge of the plans. The order to release the migrants comes with little notice to local humanitarian organizations. Former ICE Director On Massive Surge At Southern Border: 'This Isn't By Accident, This Is By Design'. Former acting ICE Director Tom Homan told Fox News over the weekend that the recent surge U.S. officials are seeing on the southern border was not an accident but the result of a designed open borders strategy by the Biden administration. Fox News host Mike Emanuel highlighted recent numbers that border officials saw for the month of January, which included "about 3,000 border arrests per day in January 2021, encounters at the border up 114% from the same time a year ago, the highest amount since July 2019." Biden's DHS to Release 25.6K Migrants into Texas, California Communities. President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is planning to release about 25,600 migrants, who have been in Mexico, into American communities in Texas and California, Breitbart News has learned. After Biden ended the "Remain in Mexico" policy — which drastically reduced asylum fraud by keeping migrants in Mexico while they await their asylum hearings in the United States — DHS announced that it would begin processing the 25,600 migrants in the program on February 19. Activists push Democrats to give stimulus checks to 9M taxpaying noncitizens. Democrats face pressure from immigration activists to provide pandemic relief checks to millions of immigrants who are illegally residing in the United States but pay taxes. Behind the scenes, left-leaning advocacy groups and nonprofit organizations are pushing to get $1,400 checks, including in major pandemic relief legislation not only for the 2.2 million U.S. citizen children who were excluded from the two previous checks but 9.3 million adults who pay billions of dollars in federal taxes. Altogether, the measure could cost the federal government $13 billion. The National Immigration Law Center, Church World Services, and Service Employees International Union are leading efforts to whip Senate Democrats into adding language for the checks into the pandemic relief legislative package. The move is not expected to succeed but could complicate negotiations within the Democratic Party in the coming weeks. DHS will admit 25,000 migrants waiting in Mexico. Homeland Security will allow tens of thousands of migrants blocked by the Trump administration from jumping the border to enter the U.S. starting next week, erasing the brunt of a policy that had helped solve the last border surge. The migrants are part of the Migration Protection Protocols, more commonly referred to as the "remain in Mexico" policy, which allowed border authorities who encountered illegal entrants to process and return them to Mexico to await their immigration court dates. MPP had the effect of denying would-be illegal immigrants a foothold in the U.S., which sapped the incentive for people to make the attempt during the 2019 surge. Biden WH can't say how it is refuting perception that the US border is open. The White House struggled to answer on Thursday [2/11/2021] how it was working to dispel the belief among migrants that the US border is open, instead shifting focus to the administration's "moral and humane" immigration policy, amid a nearly 100 percent surge of illegal crossings. Speaking to reporters at a briefing, White House press secretary Jen Psaki engaged in a back-and-forth with two reporters about her claim earlier this week that the US is turning away the "vast majority" of migrants at the southern border. After being pressed on Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador saying this week that migrants believed the borders were open under President Biden, Psaki admitted that what she was saying "is not, I guess, what you're perhaps seeing if you're looking at a portion of the border, but what they are tracking in terms of numbers and data." Schumer and AOC Team Up to Announce Taxpayers Now on the Hook for COVID Funerals, Including for Illegal Immigrants. If there's one way to make sure COVID-19 deaths don't go down, this is it. New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer joined forces this week to publicize a federal program that will reimburse the families of coronavirus victims up to $7,000 for funeral expenses for deaths from the disease that occurred in 2020 — even if the death involved an illegal alien. And, according to CNN, Schumer said the lawmakers want the program to last as long as the pandemic does — which means the numbers are likely to show the pandemic lasting a good long time. Biden administration opens another tent city to detain surge of illegal migrants. The Biden administration is facing fresh spikes of over 200 percent in illegal border crossings from this time last year and has opened another tent city to detain illegal immigrants in Texas, US Customs and Border Protection has announced. The Border Patrol revealed in a report released Wednesday that the number of migrants apprehended at the border in the month of January reached nearly 78,000, up from 36,679 in January 2020. Single adult Mexican citizens accounted for more than 37,000 CBP encounters, a 119 percent increase from this time last year, according to the agency. Amid the surge, a new "soft-sided facility" was established this week by the agency in Donna, Texas, to hold individuals originally staying at the Centralized Processing Center in McAllen, Texas. Tom Cotton: Joe Biden Is Keeping U.S. Closed for Americans, Leaving Border Open for Illegal Aliens. President Joe Biden's administration is getting blasted by lawmakers, local officials, and critics for advocating lockdowns and restrictions for Americans during the Chinese coronavirus crisis while seemingly opening the nation's borders to illegal aliens who can flout Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines. As Breitbart News has extensively reported, the Biden administration has resumed the Catch and Release program wherein border crossers are apprehended and promptly released into the interior of the United States. These border crossers are not required to test negative for the coronavirus before their release into American communities. How Amnesty Causes Human Misery, Endangers Public Health. Mexican police officers were arrested last week and charged in the killing of more than a dozen Guatemalan migrants on the way to the United States. Their bodies were shot and burned near the U.S. border in a violence-riddled corridor frequently used by smugglers. Such tragedies are not uncommon. Mexican police particularly at the state and local level have often been accused of exploiting and killing migrants. Criminal organizations routinely prey on vulnerable people who are smuggled through violent and cartel-controlled areas. The left often paints amnesty as a humanitarian act, but clearly, the facts paint a darker reality. Promises of mass legalization and weakened enforcement lead to these tragedies. Biden's immigration policy — this is how you embolden human traffickers, drug cartels. Thousands of migrants are fleeing from Central America to the United States border, again. On bus, foot and train many will do whatever they can to survive the long journey with the promise that a better life awaits them in America. Thousands more will make the trek by this spring when the weather gets warmer and those numbers are expected to surpass anything previously seen before, according to federal law enforcement officials who recently spoke with me. "We're expecting a huge influx this year along the Southern border," said a Border Patrol agent, who spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak on the matter. How Joe Biden abolished ICE without abolishing it. We've already looked at one of the worst of President Joe Biden's mountain of executive orders (and it's some pretty stiff competition to climb to the top of that heap), specifically the one ending deportations of almost all illegal aliens. But it's hard to overstate the nature of the immediate impact that it had. When you add in his cancelation of the agreements Donald Trump struck with Honduras and Guatemala, the situation on America's southern border becomes even more dire. But I don't think even I allowed the news to sink in and become "real" until I read about an interview that a Virginia county Sheriff named Chuck Jenkins gave to Steve Doocy on Fox and Friends this week. He's on the front line of immigration enforcement as part of his job and, as far as he's concerned, Joe Biden just "abolished ICE" without having to alter a single federal law. Federal judge prevents Biden administration from pausing deportations for two more weeks. A federal judge in Texas has extended the block on President Joe Biden's deportation moratorium for two more weeks as the case continues to play out in court. Judge Drew Tipton said in an order dated Monday [2/8/2021] the extension was necessary for "the record to be more fully developed" in the case brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who challenged Biden's 100-day pause on deportations. Tipton originally issued a 14-day suspension of Biden's moratorium on Jan. 26. The pause in deportations was part of Biden's attempted day one overhaul of several of former President Donald Trump's immigration policies. But Paxton quickly filed a lawsuit in response to Biden's moratorium, claiming the state would face financial harm if undocumented immigrants were released from custody, because of costs associated with health care and education. Psaki Busted by Doocy Again, Confirms Biden to Drastically Limit ICE Deportations, Even Dem Blasts Them on It. As we previously wrote, Biden was trying to stop deportations for 100 days except for national security threats. That is already causing a massive influx at the border that President Donald Trump had greatly cured with his immigration effort. But a judge slapped down Biden's effort, handing him his first official court loss. Additionally, according to Homeland Security, there's a policy change coming that indicates ICE agents would cease to pursue deportations against those convicted of virtually all offenses that were not for national security threats or serious aggravated felonies. So deportations would cease for drugs, DUIs, drunk driving, low-level assaulters, fraudsters and thieves, and a host of other charges, according to a memo obtained by the Washington Post and a report from the Texas Tribune. Moreover, ICE agents said it would weaken ICE's discretion and their ability to arrest wanted illegal aliens at correctional facilities. Biden prepares rules to limit ICE arrests, deportations. U.S. immigration authorities will revise their approach to arrests and deportations under President Biden, according to Homeland Security officials. "U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services recently rescinded two 2018 policy memos related to the issuance of Notices to Appear when processing requests for immigration benefits," USCIS spokesman Matthew Bourke said Sunday. "The agency was directed to rescind the relevant policy in a [Department of Homeland Security] memo issued Jan. 20." That's the day Biden was inaugurated — and when he signed a slew of executive orders, some of which rolled back parts of former President Donald Trump's immigration policy. He strengthened protections for recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) and halted work on the border wall.
The Editor says... Millions of Americans Projected to Remain Jobless as Biden Packs U.S. Labor Force with Foreign Workers. Millions of Americans are projected to remain jobless for the next three to four years, according to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), though President Joe Biden is looking to fill American jobs with foreign workers. In a report released this month, CBO analysts said the number of jobless Americans — all of whom want full-time jobs — will not return to pre-coronavirus levels until around 2024. [...] Before then, millions of Americans are projected to remain jobless though that has not kept the Biden administration from pursuing a labor policy that floods the United States labor market with millions of illegal aliens, foreign visa workers, and green card-holders. Biden to End Trump Asylum Deals with Three Central American Countries. The Biden administration is ending asylum deals brokered under the Trump administration with three Central American countries just as the number of migrants arriving at the southern border is spiking. "The United States has suspended and initiated the process to terminate the Asylum Cooperative Agreements with the Governments of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras as the first concrete steps on the path to greater partnership and collaboration in the region laid out by President Biden," Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Saturday [2/6/2021]. The agreements with El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras required many migrants who showed up at the U.S.-Mexico border to seek asylum in one of those countries first. DHS deletes deportation warning over fears of 'undue stress' to illegal immigrants. Worried that illegal immigrants may feel "undue stress," Homeland Security's legal immigration agency has now deleted a standard warning to people that overstayed their visas that they ran the risk of being deported. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' operations center issued the directive Wednesday, saying the agency is rolling back a Trump policy that anyone who applied but was rejected for legal immigration status should be referred for deportation, through what's known in government-speak as an NTA, or Notice to Appear. But in addition to canceling the policy, the operations center said it was also deleting the caution that being in the country illegally could mean deportation. Joe Biden Puts Americans in the Dark by Revoking Ability to Reject Refugee Dumping in Their Communities. U.S. President Joe Biden signed an executive order Thursday that denies state and local governments any authority to reject the drop-off of refugees into their towns and communities. In essence, former President Donald Trump's policy (Executive Order 13888 of September 2019) gave state and local governments a say in whether they have the capacity to provide refugees a pathway to become self-sufficient and successfully integrate into American society. Biden's new executive order (EO) indicated that the federal government would consult with American communities across the country about refugees' resettlement. [...] However, with the stroke of a pen Thursday [2/4/2021], Biden revoked Trump's Executive Order 13888 that enhanced state and local involvement in refugees' resettlement within their jurisdiction. Promised a wall, left with a hole: Border rancher fears Biden order will funnel migrants through his land. A fourth-generation rancher who once viewed the border wall project as a blessing now faces a nightmare after construction was stopped 1 mile before being finished, leaving a hole right in his backyard through which he fears immigrants will be funneled. A wall project originating near El Paso, Texas, came to an abrupt end last week near Hermanas, New Mexico, less than a mile short of where it was slated to connect to another wall. Landowner Russell Johnson said President Biden has set his family up as the first spot in the 90 miles to El Paso where people will try to sneak into the country, and Johnson is scared for his wife and kids. Biden Order on Refugees Raises Yearly Limit from 15,000 to 125,000. Joe Biden's latest Executive Order on the nation's asylum system will reportedly raise the number of refugees from 15,000 — a historic low under President Trump — to 125,000 during his first year in office. "I'm approving an executive order to begin the hard work of restoring our refugee admissions program to help meet the unprecedented global need," said the President. Former CBP Head: Biden Has Decimated Border Protections With 'Stroke Of A Pen'. Former Acting U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Mark Morgan slammed the Biden administration Tuesday [2/2/2021] for undoing significant border protections put into place by President Trump. Morgan first took aim at White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki for trashing Trump's efforts to secure the border, and attributing the infamous Obama/Biden 'kids in cages' and family separation policy to Trump. After Psaki had spoken, calling Trump's border policies "horrific", Morgan stated that "There isn't enough time to address all the spin and misinformation that the Press Secretary just sent out." Morgan outlined that agencies within the Trump administration have been "working tirelessly" to reunite families separated at the border. DHS Is Giving Illegal Immigrants 'Equal Access' to Wuhan Coronavirus Vaccines. The Department of Homeland Security announced today the agency supports granting illegal immigrants equal access to the Wuhan coronavirus vaccine, which is in short supply for American citizens. "DHS and its Federal government partners fully support equal access to the COVID-19 vaccines and vaccine distribution sites for undocumented immigrants. It is a moral and public health imperative to ensure that all individuals residing in the United States have access to the vaccine. DHS encourages all individuals, regardless of immigration status, to receive the COVID-19 vaccine once eligible under local distribution guidelines," DHS released in a statement Monday [2/1/2021]. Could Democrats pack a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants into a COVID-19 aid bill? House Democrats want the next round of coronavirus aid to include citizenship for 5 million illegal immigrants who are considered to be among the pandemic's "essential" workforce. A group of 100 House Democrats sent their leadership a request to include the language in a budget resolution that would pave the way for the Senate to use a tactic called reconciliation to pass the bill with only 51 votes instead of the usual 60 votes. Federal Judge to Extend Order Blocking Biden Administration's 100-Day Deportation Pause. An order blocking President Joe Biden's administration from its attempted deportation pause will be extended, a federal judge said during a hearing Friday [1/29/2021]. U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton, a Trump nominee, said he plans to extend the order by two weeks, effectively doubling its time. The additional weeks are required so the case can be reviewed properly, he said during a hearing, according to the Austin-American Statesman. The extension wasn't on the court docket as of Saturday morning. Tipton said he wants to hear more about an agreement reached by the Trump administration and Texas officials late last year that forces the federal government to give Texas 180 days notice before changing immigration enforcement in the state. He also wants to receive information about whether the proposed deportation pause would cause convicts or people accused of serious crimes to go free. Large Group of Haitian Migrants Cross Border into Texas. Border Patrol agents in the Del Rio Sector apprehended a large group of suspected Haitian migrants who illegally crossed the border from Mexico into Texas. Although apprehensions on the border garner little attention, the size of such groups and their country of origin does tell a story. An anonymous source reported the illegal entry and apprehension of a single group of over 90 illegal aliens. Many in the group are suspected of being nationals of Haiti. According to the source, Mexican immigration officials alerted U.S. authorities along the border concerning the potential arrival of the migrants who were traveling through Mexico on charter busses. Former Trump Aide Stephen Miller Details How Awful Biden's Immigration Order Actually Is. Former Trump administration staffer Stephen Miller appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight to detail the impact of President Joe Biden's Executive Order on immigration enforcement. While Biden billed the order as a temporary halt on deportations for 100 days, it appears to include much more. Biden may not be abolishing Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE); he is just ensuring they have nothing to do. Host Tucker Carlson began with an update on a story that broke last week. The Biden administration sent a directive to ICE detention centers instructing them to release all detainees obtained by the host. Texas Judge Blocks Biden's Plan To Pause Deportations. Last Wednesday [1/20/2021], after Joe Biden was inaugurated as President of the United States, the top official at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a memo demanding many deportations to be paused. But on Tuesday, a Texas judge blocked the move. U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton, who was nominated by former President Trump on February 4, 2020, then confirmed by the Senate on June 3, 2020, issued a temporary restraining order blocking the move for 14 days on Tuesday. [...] But on Friday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a complaint arguing that Texas would face irreparable harm from a deportation freeze. He said it would increase education and healthcare costs. "Paxton also said it went against the terms of an enforcement agreement Texas brokered with the Trump administration less than two weeks before Biden took office," Reuters reported. Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks Biden Deportation Freeze After Texas Challenge. A federal judge in Texas temporarily blocked an executive order issued by President Joe Biden to halt the deportation of certain immigrants for 100 days. U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, issued a temporary restraining order on Jan. 26, blocking Biden's policy nationwide for 14 days after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton challenged it in court. The order is a setback to the Biden administration, which has proposed far-reaching changes, including a plan to legalize about 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States illegally. Last week, the administration also issued an order that halts all U.S.-Mexico border wall construction. During former President Donald Trump's four years in office, Democrats and immigration activists often filed lawsuits in an attempt to halt Trump's border wall construction, among other immigration provisions. With Paxton's lawsuit, it's likely that Republicans may do the same — especially with hundreds of judges appointed by Trump during his term in office. Judge Slaps Down Biden's Deportation Freeze. A federal judge has slapped down President Biden's 100 day deportation freeze for illegal aliens, ruling in favor of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who sued against the measure. [Tweets] "A federal judge on Tuesday barred the U.S. government from enforcing a 100-day deportation moratorium that is a key immigration priority of President Joe Biden," the Associated Press reports. "U.S. District Judge Drew Tipton issued a temporary restraining order sought by Texas, which sued on Friday against a Department of Homeland Security memo that instructed immigration agencies to pause most deportations. Tipton said the Biden administration had failed 'to provide any concrete, reasonable justification for a 100-day pause on deportations.'" Federal court in Texas blocks Biden's 100-day deportation "pause". A federal judge in Texas blocked President Biden's 100-day deportation "pause" on Tuesday [1/26/2021] in a ruling that may point to a new phase of conservative legal challenges to his administration's immigration agenda. Judge Drew Tipton, a Trump appointee, granted a temporary restraining order sought by Texas attorney general Ken Paxton, saying the state had demonstrated a likelihood of facing immediate harm from Biden's pause. The court order will be in effect for 14 days while Tipton considers a broader motion by the state for a preliminary injunction. Though the order is temporary, the state's lawsuit portends more legal challenges by Biden opponents appealing to a judicial branch reshaped by the confirmation of hundreds of Trump appointees. 'Release them all, immediately': Tucker Carlson reveals email sent to ICE officials after Biden's deportation halt. Fox News's Tucker Carlson revealed an exclusive email showing that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials were told to release all illegal immigrants in custody. "As of midnight tonight, stop all removals," the email reported by Carlson on his show Friday night [1/22/2021] reads. "This includes Mexican bus runs, charter flights and commercial removals (until further notice). ... All cases are to be considered [no significant likelihood of removal in foreseeable future]." The email adds, "Release them all, immediately. No sponsor available is not acceptable any longer." It's the remittances, not poverty. We hear that President Biden and President Lopez-Obrador spoke by phone. According to news reports, the Mexican president said that the U.S. is offering US$4 billion to Central America. I guess that President Biden is hoping that money going south will keep caravans from going north, or something like that. It sounds good but it won't really work. The biggest problem with Mexico and Central America is that the leaders have grown accustomed to remesas or remittances. They flow south every week, from one guy in Texas sending mom a $100 a month to even bigger numbers. These remittances are the social net for many of these countries, as we see in this WSJ report: [...] So the money goes south and keeps going south. In theory, dealing with the root cause of poverty is a noble idea. In this case, they are not coming here because they are poor. They are coming here because they can make more money and send dollars to mom. Can it be stopped? Not really. The Editor says... By 2-to-1 Margin, Voters Want Migrant Caravan Stopped at the Border. With another caravan of migrants from Honduras heading north toward the United States, Americans overwhelmingly want the caravan stopped at the U.S. border. Sixty percent (60%) of Likely U.S. Voters in a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey say the government should stop the caravan at the border. That's double the 30% of voters who believe the migrants should be allowed to enter the United States temporarily until each of their cases can be individually reviewed. Face It: The Open-Borders Crowd Won. There's no getting around the fact that Joe Biden's inauguration signals a radical shift in immigration policies. But beyond that, the Biden era will see the virtual end of border security; a halt to immigration arrests, deportations, and detentions; a massive increase in the number of refugees allowed into the U.S.; and the legalization of millions of illegal aliens — among other radical proposals. The victory of the open borders crowd is total and complete. "It simply wouldn't have happened without us," Lorella Praeli, co-president of the liberal group Community Change, said of Biden's victory. "So we are now in a powerful position." Texas Attorney General to Sue Biden Admin Over "Illegal Deportation Freeze". Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Thursday evening [1/21/2021] announced he will be taking action against the Biden Administration over its "illegal deportation freeze." Biden signed an Executive Order on Wednesday putting a "temporary" 100-day freeze on deportations of illegal aliens. Joe Biden Is Manufacturing A Crisis At The Border. On his first day in office, President Joe Biden signed six executive orders on immigration, proposed a sweeping amnesty bill, and ordered the Department of Homeland Security to pause deportations. That's an awful lot of activity on an issue that he barely mentioned during the campaign. In doing so, Biden is laying the groundwork for a new border crisis — the very thing his predecessor spent four years trying to avoid. First, let's set the record straight on the Trump administration's achievements at the border. While the wall was the only thing the mainstream press focused on — and which now covers 24% of the U.S.-Mexico border — Trump scored multiple victories in securing the border. Mayorkas: No, we're not defunding ICE — and it might need more resources. This seems a bit off-message for a nominee to an administration looking to unleash the flood at the southern border. Of course, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will need all of the resources it can get if the Biden administration follows through with the ultra-progressive amnesty proposal it plans to drop tomorrow [1/20/2021]. Still, the mantra from the Left over the Trump era was to defund ICE along with, or maybe especially before, other law enforcement. Biden nominee for Homeland Security Secretary rejected it this morning. Alejandro Mayorkas, whose appointment already has other problems, told Senator James Lankford (R-OK) that not only would the Biden administration oppose defunding ICE, it might ask for more resources for enforcement. Honduran Migrant Within Massive Horde Say Biden Is Giving Them 100 Days To Get Into US, Will Help Them All. A migrant reportedly from Honduras said in an interview with CNN that the caravan he was part of was coming to the United States because President-elect Joe Biden has "given us 100 days" to arrive and receive legal documents, according to Fox News. "What I want for my people, I just want patience and prayers that we can get to the U.S. because they're having a new president whereas Biden, he's going to help all of us," the migrant said, Fox News reported. "He's given us 100 days to get to the U.S. and give us 'legalment' paper so we can get a better life for our kids and family." [Video clip] Guatemalan Government Declares the Most Violent Migrant Invaders Caravan They've Seen Fights with their Military at Border. Guatemalan security forces on Sunday [1/17/2021] used sticks and tear gas to beat back a large migrant caravan bound for the United States, just days before the advent of a new U.S. administration, which urged travelers to abandon the journey. Between 7,000 and 8,000 migrants, including families with young children, have entered Guatemala since Friday, authorities say, fleeing poverty and violence in a region hammered by the coronavirus pandemic and back-to-back hurricanes in November. [Video clip] Migrant Invaders Turn Guatamala into a Battlefield Straight out of a History Channel Documentary. Guatamala is being forced to deploy hundreds to thousands of troops in order to prevent the massive influx of illegal immigrant invaders that are hellbent on making it to the USA in order to get amnesty from Joe Biden. [Video clip] Guatemalan Police Dismantle Caravan Headed For United States. [Scroll down] It's still not clear how many of the migrants have returned home and how many are just waiting for another opportunity. These caravans originally began as a way to protect people from kidnapping and violence along the road but at this point it seems the caravans attract so much attention that they are unable to get through, at least as a group. I wonder if this tactic will decline as people decide it doesn't work. Meanwhile, Guatemala's foreign affairs secretary blamed a complete lack of action by Honduras for allowing this caravan to get as far as it did. Instead of holding them back the Honduran security forces allegedly gave them an escort. Biden to propose 8-year citizenship path for immigrants without legal status. President-elect Joe Biden plans to unveil a sweeping immigration bill on Day One of his administration. It would provide an eight-year path to citizenship for an estimated 11 million people living in the U.S. without legal status, according to a person granted anonymity to discuss the legislation. It's a massive reversal from the Trump administration's harsh immigration policies. The legislation puts Biden on track to deliver on a major campaign promise after four years of President Donald Trump's restrictive policies. But it does not include beefed-up border security, which makes passage in Congress in doubt. The Editor says... Don't Bother Learning to Code. [Scroll down] The annual H-1B quota stands at 65,000 per year. There is an additional 20,000 set aside for applicants holding a degree from an American graduate school, such as those studying on a J-1 "exchange visitors" visa. The J-1 typically goes to teachers, professors, research scholars, for whom the visa expires after five years. To obtain a J-1, applicants must show their intention to return to their country origin at the end of the program, because the program is "designed to promote the interchange of persons, knowledge, and skills, in the fields of education, arts, and science." But there is nothing so permanent as a temporary nonimmigrant visitor. J-1 holders can apply for an adjustment of status to H-1B. The H-1B is a dual-intent visa, which means it offers a path to a green card. With a few twists and turns, then, exchange visitors become permanent residents who displace Americans in the fields of education, arts, and science. Biden's Unjust Moves on Immigration. The majority (about 2/3) of illegal immigrants in this country came for a short visit and never left. More than 10 million apply for temporary visas every year. Between 20% and 30%, who are not able to convince a consular officer at our embassies abroad that they have sufficiently strong ties to their homeland to bring them back, do not receive visas. Those that did promised to return and, in order to be admitted upon entry, promised to leave within their allotted timeframe. They lied — just like the vast majority claiming asylum, which is legally limited to those with a credible fear of official persecution, not just bad living conditions, no matter how poor or crime-ridden. Joe Biden: Amnesty for Everyone Who Was Here on January 1. President-elect Joe Biden's amnesty plan will reportedly provide the glittering prize of U.S. citizenship to everyone who can show they were in the United States illegally on January 1, if Congress passes the wage-cutting, nation-changing legislation amid a deep economic recession. "To qualify, immigrants must have been in the United States as of Jan. 1, a move meant to blunt any rush to the border," according to a description provided "by transition officials" to the Washington Post. If You Wanted Joe Biden, You Get Him, and You Don't Get to Complain. You can't spend a year fluffing Biden as the only hope for the union and then act surprised when he does exactly what he said he would do. This is a guy who stood on a debate stage and raised his hand pledging universal healthcare to illegal immigrants. He's already trying to roll out an amnesty bill and he hasn't even taken office yet. That bill includes a path to citizenship with zero new enforcement mechanisms or resources. In a phrase, it's exactly what you'd expect. [...] The election is over. The time to fret about Biden's immigration policies was before you voted for him. Report: Biden Team to Migrant Caravan: Don't Come, You Won't Get In — Yet. NBC News reports that a senior Biden transition team member warned the newest caravan of Honduran migrants not to come to the U.S. at this time. The official reportedly advised that if they come they will not be allowed to enter the U.S. — for now. "The situation at the border isn't going to be transformed overnight," the unnamed transition official told NBC News. "There's help on the way, but now is not the time to make the journey." Joe Biden's big amnesty plan stuns even the open-borders activists for its 'boldness' and 'ambition'. If anyone thought the low-legitimacy Joe Biden presidency was going to be a tip-toe unity caretaker operation, they had another thing coming. Biden's getting right to work on a huge, unpopular amnesty plan to reward an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants with instant green cards and a "right" to citizenship after a mere eight years. He's cynically planning to put it in place with the expectation that Congress will swing to the Republicans in 2022, based on public opposition. Biden plans early legislation to offer legal status to 11 million immigrants without it. During his first days in office, President-elect Joe Biden plans to send a groundbreaking legislative package to Congress to address the long-elusive goal of immigration reform, including what's certain to be a controversial centerpiece: a pathway to citizenship for an estimated 11 million immigrants who are in the country without legal status, according to immigrant rights activists in communication with the Biden-Harris transition team. The bill also would provide a shorter pathway to citizenship for hundreds of thousands of people with temporary protected status and beneficiaries of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals who were brought to the U.S. as children, and probably also for certain front-line essential workers, vast numbers of whom are immigrants. Chamber of Commerce [will] Work with Joe Biden on Expanding Legal Immigration as 18[ ]M[illion] Americans [are] Jobless. Chamber of Commerce CEO Tom Donohue says the business group "will work cooperatively" with President-Elect Joe Biden to expand legal immigration levels to the United States in order to fill American jobs with foreign workers as 18 million Americans remain jobless. At an annual event this week, Donohue outlined the group's plans to work hand-in-hand with incoming Biden administration officials to expand legal immigration levels beyond their already historic rates, where more than 1.2 million green cards are allotted every year and 1.4 million foreign visa workers are admitted to take American jobs annually. Migrants chanting 'Biden! Biden!' stampede border. In the wake of the presidential election, concerns over the safety of our great nation's borders have been brought to light, as immigration is perhaps one of the most contested issues in today's political climate. President Trump implemented strict policies throughout the last four years to protect America, which Joe Biden is expected to loosen. Come one, come all! On the night of December 29, up to 400 migrants — mostly from Cuba — forced their way past Mexican immigration and over turnstiles on the Paso del Norte Bridge, seeking to force their way into El Paso, Texas. Migrants Chanting "Biden, Biden" Storm US-Mexico Border Crossing — Trump's MPP And "Remain In Mexico Policy" Saves The Day. An El Paso-Juárez border bridge was blocked Tuesday [12/29/2020] overnight when a huge group of Cubans and other migrants tired of waiting in Mexico showed stormed into the United States. Some left-leaning media reported that there were only 100 immigrants and they didn't report about Biden's chants. Almost lost in the distractions of the holiday weekend, on the night of December 29 up to 400 mostly Cuban migrants forced their way past Mexican immigration and overpayment turnstiles on the Paso del Norte Bridge from Ciudad Juarez with a desire to force their way into downtown El Paso, Texas, according to news reporting. Defenders of Civilization? There are more immigrants in the United States than at any time in its history. More arrive here each year, legally or illegally, than to any other nation. And they do so not for the New Green Deal or abortion on demand. Instead, as mostly minorities, they expect to find more freedom, economic prosperity, meritocracy, and personal safety in America than they did as majorities in their home nations. Do they know, but cannot say, that? Yet we are hellbent on transmogrifying the immigrant experience into one in which the newly arrived must lodge complaints against their hosts, as if we are to assume they chose to immigrate to what they didn't like and to abandon what they did. What happened to requiring every immigrant to have familiarity with English, a high school diploma, and legal entry? Does anyone believe such requirements would make newcomers less successful? Or is the rub that they would arrive more independent, more upbeat about America, and less inclined to be patronized — and therefore not so needed by the Left? Federal Court: President Donald Trump Has Authority to Bar Uninsured Immigrants from Admission. The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled in favor of President Donald Trump's order barring entry to legal immigrants until they fund their own health insurance and avoid becoming a "public charge' for taxpayers. The San Francisco Chronicle put the number of migrants who would not be admissible at an estimated 375,000 every year — or about one million every 2.5 years. Hey, GOP: This is Your Do or Die Moment. [Scroll down] Plan C for Democrats is to open the borders, granting amnesty, citizenship, and voting rights to millions of foreigners, mostly poor, eager to enjoy the largess of American workers and taxpayers, voting to keep the benefit spigot wide open. Flood Texas with immigrants, turn it blue, and it's lights out for the GOP, assuming Democrats haven't yet abolished the Electoral College. They won't even need to rig the election at that point. CBP Chief: Joe Biden Will Spur 'Waves' of 'Uncontrolled Mass Migration' to U.S.. President-elect Joe Biden's plan to end a series of United States cooperative asylum agreements with Central America will spur "waves" of illegal immigration to the southern border, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Chief Mark Morgan says. As Breitbart News reported, Joe Biden is planning to tear down President Donald Trump's legal wall that he has built through U.S. agreements with Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador that have helped stem illegal immigration at the southern border and allow federal immigration officials to quickly return border crossers to their native countries. Biden backpedals on opening border on day one, but the damage is done. President-elect Joe Biden may have realized he does not want a southwest border crisis in his administration, but the damage he created with his campaign promises is already done. After irresponsibly making campaign statements that "we owe" illegal aliens amnesty and promising to end the Trump administration's "Remain in Mexico" program on day one, Biden has balked, stating he would make such changes at a slower pace than originally promised. It's too late. The alien smugglers have already cashed their checks. Without even waiting for our election or heeding pandemic restrictions or the rapid increase in virus cases in the United States and Mexico, large migrant flows to our border restarted. Cruz Blocks Democrat-Backed Bill that Would Open Pipeline of Migrants from Hong Kong to U.S.. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), at the last minute on Friday, blocked a Democrat-backed bill that would have created a pipeline for Hong Kong citizens to come to the U.S. under Temporary Protection Status or asylum, which virtually would allow for a massive transfer of migrants into the country. The bill, the Hong Kong People's Freedom and Choice Act, Cruz said, would allow Democrats "to advance their long-standing goals on changing [US] immigration laws." U.S. Supreme Court throws out challenge to Trump census immigrant plan. The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday threw out a lawsuit seeking to block President Donald Trump's plan to exclude immigrants living illegally in the United States from the population count used to allocate congressional districts to states. The 6-3 ruling on ideological lines, with the court's six conservatives in the majority and three liberals dissenting, gives Trump a short-term victory as he pursues his hard-line policies toward immigration in the final weeks of his presidency. Foreign Refugee Managers: Keep Americans in the Dark. Nearly all managers in taxpayer-funded, refugee-delivery organizations say the public should have no say about the delivery of unskilled refugees into Americans' neighborhoods, job markets, and schools, says a survey by refugee groups. The 61-page survey was released December 8 by the Refugee Council USA and the Center for Migration Studies, as the refugee groups cheered Joe Biden for his campaign-trail promise to dramatically expand the flow of low-wage refugees into Americans' workplaces. Just 15 percent of managers in refugee agencies, and just 14 percent of refugee officials in state governments, said that "neighborhood associations" should be "given a voice in the Refugee Resettlement process," according to a chart on page 27 of the survey. Illegal-immigrant caravans [are] back on the way, and Joe Biden 'invited' them. A border crisis is brewing before President-elect Joe Biden takes office. Migrant caravans are forming in Honduras, where residents were hit with a pair of devastating hurricanes last month, adding to the economic hardship caused by COVID-19. Faced with ruin, many Hondurans have decided to defy local travel bans and head north. "People are no longer scared of the coronavirus," one caravan organizer told Bloomberg. "They're going hungry, they've lost everything, and some towns are still flooded." The organizer added that migrants are savvy about shifts in US border policy: "When there is a change in government in the US or Mexico, caravans start to move, because they are testing the waters to see how authorities respond." Cartels telling migrants 'border will be open' when Biden takes over, Texas Democrat says. Since Election Day, the Department of Homeland Security has been preparing for an onslaught of Central American migrants who are being driven by cartel organizations to try to enter the U.S. Southwest border, according to a South Texas congressman. U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, told Border Report on Friday afternoon that he was briefed by DHS a couple weeks ago "that the bad guys are starting to promote to people of Central America and Mexico that 'the border will be open; it will be different so start getting ready to come.'" California Democrats pressure Biden and Congress to abolish ICE. California Democrats hope to push the incoming Congress and Biden administration to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the coming year with a new state bill. Democratic lawmakers in the California Assembly and Senate introduced this week the Abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement bill, a joint resolution that calls for the federal agency at the Department of Homeland Security to be shuttered. A state legislature does not have the legal ability to take apart a federal agency — only Congress has that authority. Two assemblymembers who spoke with the Washington Examiner believe Democrats in Washington are motivated to move on the liberal wish list item now. "The only way we can move past the real damaging impact of ICE is to completely get rid of it and move on. I think with the Biden administration, there's an opportunity to do that," said Assemblyman Ash Kalra, one of 15 co-authors. "We're calling on Congress to act in conjunction with the federal administration." Biden's Illegal Immigrant Gravy Train. In the face of congressional fiscal and logistical roadblocks, President Trump has been undaunted in his efforts to control illegal immigration through the use of emergency powers, executive fiats, and discretionary financing to build an $11 billion wall on the southwest border. Biden proclaims that he will not spend a dime on another foot of construction. Instead, he will sprinkle fairy dust over the heads of everyone who's already breached it and turn a blind's eye to those in passage. The new price of admission: lifelong fealty and a vote or two. Election fraud will be old hat, as counting ballots would become the constitutionally-protected, token expression for biennial Democrat landslides. Customs and the Border Patrol, to the extent that they will survive the hissy fits of the Squad, will be made to sit on their hands in the role of babysitters and midwives. The Stupid Party Redux. On the evening of December 2, led by Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), the GOP quietly convened, avoiding public hearings, and gave their unanimous consent agreement for an amended version of S. 386, the "Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act." "Under the bill, those on a long-term temporary visa who can secure a job offer requiring a college degree will, after a wait of 270 days, be able to obtain a three-year renewable work permit and permission to travel in and out of the country," explains Jessica M. Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies. "It will be a status comparable to permanent residency with a green card, but without having to wait in line or be restricted by annual immigration limits," she adds. "It will potentially apply to hundreds of thousands of people each year, including foreign students, exchange visitors, NAFTA workers, investors, and more." Buried lede: WaPo reports Mexican officials terrified of Biden's open-borders-and-amnesty dinner triangle. So much for this new era of "restored" comity and normalcy in foreign relations, as Biden, his team, and their press lackeys have promoted. Already we've seen the fear and pre-emptive triage actions in the Middle East based on fears of a return to the Obama lead-from-behind policy of weakness. We've also see the fear in East Asia as small Pacific Rim nations and democracy campaigners in places like Hong Kong worry about a rampant China and a naive and ineffectual Jimmy Carter-style Biden administration. Now we've got a full blown concern from Mexico that with Biden ringing the dinner trial of amnesty, migrant surges will trash Mexico, as if that country didn't have enough problems as it is. If you want to start a migrant surge, there probably isn't a better way to do it than to advertise free amnesty at the destination, as Mickey Kaus noted in one of his tweets. Democrats Want $5.5 Billion Bailout of New York City's Illegal Population. The coronavirus crash has completely impoverished New York City's huge illegal-migrant population, so it needs a bailout from billionaires, says a far left group of open border activists. The advocacy group, Make the Road NY, wants to raise $5.5 billion from 120 New York billionaires to provide roughly $750 per week in aid for up to 1.2 million illegal migrants and their dependents. Numerous Democratic legislators back the campaign. Biden's Foolish Immigration Priorities. After many false starts — including the zero-tolerance policy that drove family separations — the Trump administration got a handle on the border thanks to its "remain in Mexico" policy and "safe third country" agreements with Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. These initiatives closed an enormous loophole in the U.S. asylum system — undeserving asylum-seekers were able to gain access to our country, stay here for years while their claims worked their way through overwhelmed immigration courts, and remain even after their claims were denied because we lack the capacity (or will) to track and deport them. This running, de facto amnesty served as a powerful magnet for migrants from Central America. But the Trump administration managed to get Mexico to agree to the so-called Migration Protection Protocols. This meant that asylum-seekers from countries other than Mexico could be made to remain in Mexico while their claims were adjudicated in the U.S. Under A Biden Administration, Expect An Explosion In Illegal Immigration. One of the big changes we should expect under a Joe Biden administration is an explosion of illegal immigration and a renewed crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. The reason for this is simple: the immigration and border policies the Trump administration has put into place over the past four years have succeeded in driving down illegal immigration, and Biden has promised to reverse nearly all of them. Throughout the campaign, Biden was forthright about his plans to dismantle Trump's immigration and border security agenda. His team is now planning to carry out those plans, including a 100-day moratorium on deportations, directives to curtail arrests of illegal immigrants, and a full restoration of the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, or DACA. Joe Biden will stop building Trump's wall as soon as he is sworn in but will leave barrier intact. Joe Biden will immediately halt construction of Donald Trump's southern border wall as soon as he is sworn into office, but will leave whatever has already been built in place. So far, Trump's administration has spent $15 billion on adding to and reinforcing areas with existing barriers and building brand new 30-foot-tall bollard fencing. While 400 miles of these see-through black metal slats have been built, only 12 miles of the border did not have some sort of existing barrier before construction commenced, The Dallas Morning News noted in a report Wednesday evening [11/11/2020]. Biden to freeze deportations, welcome illegals. Here's yet another subject that I don't recall Joe Biden mentioning during the general election campaign. Unlike the 2016 race, the subject of illegal immigration was barely an afterthought in this election. But now that Joe Biden appears poised to become the 46th President, he's promising to undo even more of the progress achieved by Donald Trump in terms of enforcing the nation's immigration laws. Not only does he plan to fully restore the Obama-era DREAMER protections, but he will declare a 100-day freeze on all deportations, even for criminal illegal aliens. During that time he will be revising the guidelines for ICE as to which illegals can be deported, rolling back the gains we've made on that front over the past four years. US to send asylum seekers home to Cameroon despite 'death plane' warnings. The US is expected to fly Cameroonian asylum seekers back to their home country on Tuesday despite fears that their lives will be at risk and reports that deportees repatriated last month are now missing. Some of the deportees are activists from the country's anglophone minority, who face arrest warrants for their political activities from government forces with a well documented record of extrajudicial killings. They and their lawyers refer to Tuesday's flight as the "death plane". Lawyers, human rights groups and Democratic senator Chris Van Hollen have appealed to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to halt deportation flights to Cameroon while political violence is still widespread there and while at least some of the detainees have cases pending or motions to reopen cases before the Board of Immigration Appeals. Federal judge tosses Trump's 'public charge' immigration rule. A federal judge in Chicago issued a nationwide halt Monday [11/2/2020] to President Trump's attempt to make more immigrants have to prove self-sufficiency in order to win a path to citizenship. Judge Gary Feinerman ruled the government cut too many procedural corners in issuing what was known as the "public charge" rule. Homeland Security had asked him to confine his ruling to a limited geography and to delay its effectiveness while it was appealed. The Obama appointee rejected both requests, announcing a nationwide policy. The Editor says... Summarizing Joe Biden. Biden is a fan of open borders. He promises to not build another foot of border wall between the U.S. and Mexico. He'll put a 100-day moratorium on deportations and will end the practice of requiring asylum seekers to stay in Mexico while their cases are considered. "Catch and release" will again be the government's policy. Predawn ride-along with Border Patrol reveals unseen challenges of the job. Just before dawn is when the U.S.-Mexico border's busiest region for illegal immigration is at peak activity. Under cover of darkness, smugglers on the south side of the Rio Grande River push off floats and rafts that carry migrants who paid $1,000 each just to get over the river. The federal agent whom I am following today makes it sound like chess, only this game is between Border Patrol agents and the relentless network of cartels ferrying their human cargo into the United States. Mexican scouts who watch the river will give smugglers the OK when it is safe to push migrants into the water and toward the sandy shores of Texas. They send people up the riverbank in one area, where those migrants may be detected and lead Border Patrol agents on a chase. This distraction then allows the smugglers to push several other groups of migrants across the river. Immigration Isn't an Uncontrollable Force of Nature After All. New data from the Census Bureau shows that during the first two years of President Trump's administration, a time of rapid job growth and historically low unemployment, immigration went down. How is that possible? As the quotes above suggest, we've been told for years, both by Democrats and Republicans, that immigration is an unstoppable natural force, like the tides or continental drift. That turns out to have been malarkey. A new study by the Center for Immigration Studies finds that from 2017 to 2019, the growth in the immigrant population slowed dramatically. This was the result of a combination of fewer new people coming and more who were already here (many of them illegal) going home. Immigration didn't stop, nor did the number of immigrants here overall decline. But during those first two years of the Trump Administration, growth in the total immigrant population averaged about 200,000 a year, as opposed to about 650,000 a year between 2010 and 2017 under President Obama. Donald Trump Will Ride a Coyote to Victory. Donald Trump has actually studied the deadly situation on our southern border. In the debate he explained why the U.S. had to separate immigrant kids from their so-called "parents." That's because human traffickers (called in the region "coyotes," Spanish pronunciation) smuggle children. Thousands and thousands of children. It's a huge business, conducted on the hides of the helpless and innocent. The Stream ran a plea by Mexican TV star and pro-life activist Eduardo Verástegui on this subject. He begged the U.S. to build a border wall. Why? To stop this hemorrhage of kidnapped and trafficked Latino kids into the sex and child pornography industries, and slave labor on U.S. farms. All that is real. Coyotes are real, and a present danger to thousands of helpless women and children. By some estimates, they rape up to 80% of Central American women and girls who enter the U.S. illegally. We don't control our southern border. The coyote rape gangs do. And that's a national scandal. The City is Killing America. Welfare states don't create jobs. They're what happens when there are too many people and no jobs. We might be able to build our way out of this dead end, but we have to begin by questioning the urban model which is at the root of all of our national problems. America doesn't need an expanding population. Urban political machines do. [...] There is no shortage of cheap labor in America. We don't need more of it. Every major city is already choking on the unemployed cheap labor forces they have. And unless we have a massive manufacturing boom, the only employment opportunities for them are in the gig economy where they can deliver pad thai and give rides to environmental consultants. The urban model hasn't worked for America in sixty years. The pandemic has put it on the verge of collapse as the wealthy industries that made cities their base flee into virtual workspaces. It's time to rethink and defund cities as the hubs of our economy and our nation. DHS Begins Fast-Track 'Expedited Removal' of Illegal Migrants. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has quietly launched a nationwide fast-track deportation process dubbed "Expedited Removal." The fast-track process was created by Congress in 1996 but was ignored by Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, who quietly welcomed the inflow of consumers and cheap, illegal labor. The expedited process allows agents to arrest recently arrived migrants and deport them without intervention by pro-migration legal groups or sanctuary-city politicians. 8 Highlights From Second Biden-Trump Debate. [#6] Illegal Immigration and Border Enforcement: Trump and Biden had a sharp disagreement about enforcing immigration law, in particular the Trump administration's early policy of separating children from adults when they come across the southern border and placing children in detention centers with "cages." "The children are brought here by coyotes and lots of bad people, cartels, and they're brought here and they used to use them to get into our country," Trump said. "We now have as strong a border as we've ever had. We're over 400 miles of brand new wall. You see the numbers. We let people in, but they have to come in legally,"[.] [...] But Trump said his administration actually inherited the Obama policy of putting children in cages. "We changed the policy. They did it. We changed — they built the cages," Trump said. "Who built the cages, Joe?" According to The Associated Press, placing migrant children in cages began in 2014 under the Obama administration. Guatemala Sends Back 3,500 Migrants in Honduran Caravan. Associated Press reports Guatemala has sent back almost 3,500 Honduran migrants from a caravan that was heading to the United States over concerns they might spread Covid-19, President Alejandro Giammattei announced. In a televised message broadcast on Sunday, President Alejandro Giammattei said Guatemalan security forces were able to "contain" the caravan which he said posed a health threat due to the coronavirus pandemic. "We are experiencing a pandemic in Guatemala which has cost us to control with months of efforts," said the president, adding it was an "obligation" to reduce the risk of further contagion. Trump administration wants to screen credit scores, tax returns of immigrants' U.S. sponsors. American citizens, U.S. nationals and lawful permanent residents who sponsor an immigrant visa for a family member to live permanently in the United States must sign a legal and enforceable contract with the federal government know as the Affidavit of Support, agreeing to use their financial resources to support the immigrant. Last year, President Donald Trump signed a memorandum that revives an old self-sufficiency immigration law that requires sponsors of immigrants to reimburse the U.S. government for any federal means-tested public benefits the sponsored immigrant receives. And now, the Department of Homeland Security has announced a notice of proposed rulemaking that aims to "hold immigrant sponsors accountable for failing to meet the obligations of contracts they sign with the federal government." That Migrant Caravan From Honduras Didn't Make It Very Far. On Friday, John reported on the return of an unwelcome fall ritual. That would be the start of the migrant caravan season when illegal aliens gather together in huge groups to attempt the trek from Guatemala and Honduras up through Mexico to either try to cross the United States border illegally or present themselves for asylum. (Frequently both if they get caught trying to jump the border.) In this case, roughly 1,000 migrants, primarily from Honduras, formed up and headed through Guatemala toward Mexico's southern border heading north. By yesterday, their numbers were estimated to have swollen to 2,000. But in a surprising turn of events, the governments of both Guatemala and Mexico stepped up their games and shut the caravan down almost entirely. As of this morning [10/4/2020], the vast majority of them were on buses heading back to Honduras. Guatemala to detain 2,000 U.S. bound migrants. Guatemala says it will detain and return a migrant caravan of around 2,000 that entered the country illegally from Honduras on Thursday, according to an Associated Press report. Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammettei vowed that the caravan, which was likely bound for the U.S, would be sent back to Honduras amid coronavirus concerns. Mexico sees U.S. election behind migrant caravan, seeks to avoid Trump spat. Mexico's president on Friday [10/2/2020] said he suspected political interference behind a new migrant caravan in Central America, promising to keep his country out of the U.S. presidential race as the group splintered and some began turning back. Mexican President Notes Central American Caravan Timed to Interfere With U.S. Election. As a consequence there are a myriad of ideological efforts underway, simultaneously with increased intensity, intended to influence the 2020 election. Pelosi/Soros Inc. working earnestly on mail in ballots. Big Tech continues efforts to disconnect the voices of their political opposition. Big Media continues efforts to frame anti-Trump narratives to assist their political allies. The big Wall St. multinationals, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, are pouring money into efforts to block the re-election of President Trump. Foreign money is pouring in from China and overseas interests who are negatively impacted by the America First national economic agenda. Regional politicians and their various special-interest groups are being funded to keep fueling antagonisms; and Hollywood influencers are 'all-in' once again to assist the effort. Another Migrant Caravan Departs for the United States. The United States is such a white supremacist, oppressive, and evil country that a whole new caravan of migrants is leaving Honduras bound for the United States, where mail-in ballots await. CBS News reports that a migrant caravan was expected to leave October 1 but that hundreds of migrants are leaving early just two weeks after Honduras opened its northern border with Guatemala. A new migrant caravan is marching north as arrests at the U.S. border rise for fourth straight month. It seemed for a while that we might be done with migrant caravans from Central America. With the coronavirus spreading around the world, borders were closed and so were shelters that house migrants along the route from Central America to the U.S. But CBS reported yesterday that a new caravan composed of nearly 1,000 migrants has formed in Honduras and is marching north. Facebook Removes Trump Campaign Ad. Facebook has reportedly removed a recent ad from the Trump campaign, claiming that the ad features factually incorrect information about refugees and the coronavirus pandemic. NBC News reports that Facebook stated this week that it took down political ads by the Trump campaign that claimed that accepting refugees from abroad could increase the risk of exposure to the coronavirus. [...] Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone said in a statement on the removal: "We rejected these ads because we don't allow claims that people's physical safety, health, or survival is threatened by people on the basis of their national origin or immigration status." The Editor says... If Biden Comes In, So Do 50+ Million Immigrants. As the liberal fight against ICE continues, the new Biden-Harris immigration plan could allow up to 52 million new immigrants into the U.S., according to a Federation for American Immigration Reform analysis via the Daily Caller. "This dramatic increase would eclipse the entire current foreign-born population of the country," said the Federation for American Immigration (FAIR). Joe Biden: 'No Deportations' for Illegal Aliens Until They Commit a Felony. Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden is again vowing that he will not deport any illegal aliens in his first 100 days in office until they commit a felony against an American citizen. During an interview with Noticias Telemundo, Biden reiterated his plan to end deportations for at least 100 days, saying that only illegal aliens who commit felonies will be deported. After the deportation freeze, Biden has said he will prioritize convicted illegal alien felonies, indicating that illegal aliens would have to commit felonies and be convicted before they are ever deported from the United States. Man Identified As ICE Doctor Behind Hysterectomies Previously Settled Medicare, Medicaid Fraud Case With Feds. The man who has been identified as the doctor who allegedly gave unnecessary hysterectomies to women detained at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility settled a Medicare, Medicaid federal lawsuit years ago. Dr. Mahendra Amin, who is himself an immigrant, according to Prism Reports, agreed to a $520,000 settlement with federal prosecutors in 2015 regarding an indictment filed in 2013. Amin had been accused of orchestrating a scheme at Irwin County Hospital (ICH) in Georgia, which he was a part-owner of, in which unnecessary procedures were administered on patients to bolster federal Medicare and Medicaid payments to the hospital, according to the indictment. Dr. Mahendra Amin Named as Doctor Referred to as 'Uterus Collector' in ICE Whistleblower Complaint. Dr. Mahendra Amin has been identified as the doctor referred to in the Irwin County Detention Center complaint filed against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Georgia on September 14 by nurse Dawn Wooten. Amin, 68, is accused of performing at least five unnecessary hysterectomies between October and December 2019. An obstetrics and gynecology specialist, Amin's name did not appear in the original complaint but was quickly uncovered by Prism. Trump Administration Wins Court Victory On Immigration. On Monday [9/14/2020], the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals handed the Trump administration a victory, ruling 2-1 that a preliminary injunction barring implementation of decisions to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) designations of Sudan, Nicaragua, Haiti, and El Salvador would be vacated. Ed Whelan noted at National Review, "It might seem surprising that there would be any controversy over DHS's authority to terminate a temporary designation years later. But after ordering DHS to provide the administrative record for its termination decisions, federal district judge Edward Chen granted plaintiffs (TPS beneficiaries from these countries and their children) injunctive relief based on their claims under the Administrative Procedure Act and the Equal Protection Clause." Border Patrol: Increase in illegal immigrant stash houses [is] proof of success. It began with a contraband-sniffing dog at a Border Patrol checkpoint who sniffed out a truck with 63 illegal immigrants at a highway checkpoint near Laredo, and ended with federal agents rescuing 43 other illegal immigrants from a nearby stash house where they were waiting for the next load-up. That Aug. 7 bust is becoming increasingly common in Texas, where agents say they're finding more stash houses packed with people — a sign of things going wrong, yet also very right. More stash houses means there's a glut of migrants who have managed to sneak across the border, but it also means the smugglers are having a tricky time getting them deeper into the U.S., officials said. That's created a pileup of migrants in U.S. border areas. Immigrants, hit hard by the pandemic, are sending even more money back to Mexico. The COVID-19 pandemic has slammed many of the immigrants who bused tables, picked crops and stood shoulder to shoulder in factories. But many have kept working in what are considered essential — if risky — jobs. And through the summer, Mexican immigrants [...] living in the United States sent home record sums of money to their families, defying predictions that so-called remittances would plummet. Mexico received $3.53 billion in remittances in July — most of it from the U.S. — a 7% increase over the same month in 2019, Mexico's central bank data showed. Analysis of the phrase, "No Human Is Illegal". [Scroll down] Who is saying that humans are illegal? It's a conservative idea that human beings not only have a legal right to peacefully exist to pursue their happiness, but should be legally protected at all stages of life, at all income levels, and in every neighborhood. What this statement is attacking is the concept of illegal immigration. But a person's immigration status is very different from their right to exist, as the yard sign prophets surely know. That is why they obfuscate the argument with underhanded statements like this. Those who scream No Human Is Illegal do so from the safety of their alarmed homes and gated communities, which serve essentially the same purpose as does a border wall. 50+ Questions No Reporter Dares Ask Joe Biden And His Campaign. On Immigration: Do you believe American taxpayers should pay the expenses of foreign citizens who illegally enter the United States, such as for food, health care, and education? Since the entire world has a lower standard of living than Americans do, why will that not encourage everyone who can to get inside our borders? Should there be any criteria applied to those who seek U.S. citizenship? If so, what? A Tyranny Perpetual and Universal? [Scroll down] Biden has already promised to amnesty every illegal immigrant currently in the country. According to a 2018 Yale study, that's at least 22 million people — all of whom, under America's idiotic immigration laws, immediately would be eligible to bring over relatives in the name of "family reunification." If each newly minted American brings over just one relative, that's another 20 million new immigrants in Biden's first term alone. And nothing in the law would stop people from bringing over more than one. Most sponsor several. Such an amnesty, once the Democratic machine got everyone registered to vote, would tip many purple states permanently blue. That's the whole point. After that, the electoral map would become impossible for Republicans ever to win the presidency again. Which is also the point. The Collapse of the Democrat Brand. A Democrat sweep in November will provide amnesty to 20+ million illegal aliens, plus another five to ten million immigrants imported over the next four years through our new open borders policy. These new American citizens will be bribed with our tax dollars to vote away our rights. A Somalian immigrant isn't going to turn down a monthly paycheck to preserve your Second Amendment rights. Antifa will help draft public policy; they'll abolish the Electoral College and pack the SCOTUS with leftists. That's not hyperbole, either — they are open about all of this. Under such circumstances, it will be difficult for Republicans to win an election anytime soon. They know how close they are to reaching their goals — which is why the Democrats no longer even try to defend their brand. Democrats have sacrificed their brand to win in 2020 without any contingency plan. USCIS Staff Furloughs Will Grind Legal Immigration To A Halt. The Trump administration is about to achieve what many see as its long-held objective of bringing the U.S. legal immigration system to a halt. While the administration would not be allowed to stop processing immigration applications without incurring legal action, critics say that through policy choices and mismanagement of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) it may accomplish the same goal. "The federal agency tasked with offering citizenship, green cards and visas to immigrants is planning to furlough about two-thirds of its workers at the end of the month after Congress failed to reach a deal on a coronavirus stimulus package," reported USA Today. "U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services notified about 13,400 of its 20,000 employees that they would be furloughed Aug. 30 because of budget shortfalls." Washington State Will Provide $40 Million In Coronavirus Relief For Illegal Immigrants. After months of pressure from activists, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee (D) has agreed to set aside $40 million in coronavirus relief for workers in the U.S. illegally. As The Daily Wire previously reported, Seattle's city council sought $100 million in relief funds from the state for illegal immigrants who didn't qualify for the federal government's coronavirus stimulus. The city passed a resolution in May that called for the creation of a "Washington Worker Relief Fund" that would provide "economic assistance to undocumented Washingtonians during the COVID-19 pandemic." Kamala Harris Is Far Worse Than Hillary Clinton. Harris's platform is so far to the left of the mainstream that she makes Mrs. Clinton, a hero to the Left for several decades, look moderate. Clinton, for instance, said that illegal immigrants should be allowed to purchase health insurance on the Obamacare exchanges but without subsidies, which is Joe Biden's position (according to his platform, though Biden himself often seems confused about this when publicly discussing the issue). Kamala Harris backs a single-payer federal health-care plan and did not equivocate when asked whether illegal immigrants would be covered: "Let me just be very clear about this. I am opposed to any policy that would deny in our country any human being from access to public safety, public education or public health, period." This would mark an end to the distinction between people who are here legally and illegally and would signal to the world's poor that it's time to make their break for the United States. Harris also compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to the Ku Klux Klan and said we should decriminalize unauthorized border crossings. Mike Lee's S386 Bill Creates 'Green Card Lite' for New Waves of Migrants. Sen. Mike Lee's latest version of S.386 creates a novel "Green Card Lite" legal status to help Fortune 500 companies import many more Indian graduates into U.S. white collar jobs. "That's a game changer from the original bill," said a tweet from a top ranking immigration lawyer Greg Siskind. It gives people "most of the benefits of a green card," said Siskind, who is working with hospital chains to expand the pipeline of foreign nurses and doctors into U.S. hospitals. Illegal aliens and the Census: Trump drops the other shoe. Not long ago, President Trump issued a Memorandum on Excluding Illegal Aliens from the Apportionment Base Following the 2020 Census. As the title telegraphs, it directs the Department of Commerce to provide the president with the information needed for him to exclude illegal aliens from his Report to Congress, to be filed in early January, apportioning seats in the House of Representatives among the states. The action was not a surprise. Last year, the Census Bureau tried to add a question about citizenship status to the 2020 Census, only to have the action knocked out by the Supreme Court over the fine points of administrative law — no justice questioned the right and power of the government to develop such information. Trump responded with an executive order directing all agencies to cooperate with the Commerce Department to develop information about the citizenship status of the population, including, presumptively, numbers and locations of illegal aliens. New Jersey takes step toward granting professional licenses to illegal immigrants. The New Jersey State Assembly passed a bill last week that would grant professional licenses to illegal immigrants. Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy is expected to sign the bill, according to Fox News, which grants illegal immigrants the ability to obtain professional and occupational licenses in the state in industries such as cosmetology and accounting. A spokesperson for Murphy said the governor "believes that immigrants are a critical part of the fabric of life in New Jersey, and that they should not face unnecessary barriers as they seek to participate in our society and economy." The bill would become law effective immediately if signed by Murphy. The 10 ways Obama has actively sought to destroy America. Beginning shortly after he won reelection, Obama issued an unconstitutional executive order — an action he claimed repeatedly prior to the election that he had no authority to do. What makes this harmful? Mass immigration of poor, uneducated third-world people who come into the U.S. not to assimilate with our culture but to keep their own and demand that U.S. taxpayers subsidize them. Now, despite the fact that prior to the election the federal courts repeatedly upheld an injunction against the president's policy, the White House hasn't changed it's policy one iota. Deportations of illegal immigrants under the policy have been dramatically reduced, even as scores more pour across the Southwest border, and the number of Border Patrol agents is decreasing. Does this sound like a man who is serious about preserving the integrity of American sovereignty and culture? Universities Brand 'Drama Therapy' And 'Journalism' as STEM Majors to Circumvent Immigration Policy. Several American universities are expanding the scope of their science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in an attempt to circumvent U.S. immigration law, which allows international students who major in STEM subjects to stay in the country two years longer than counterparts who major in the humanities. New York University, for example, now includes journalism, classics, and drama therapy under its STEM umbrella. NYU is one of a number of universities exploiting a U.S. immigration policy that requires most international students to leave the country a year after finishing their studies — but permits those who studied STEM disciplines to work for an additional two years. The policy is part of the Department of Homeland Security's Optional Practical Training (OPT) program, which aims to shore up the United States' supply of engineers and tech workers. ACLU Sues to Get Illegal Aliens Counted in Congressional Apportionment. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is suing to have illegal aliens counted when apportioning congressional representation. [...] This week, Trump signed a memorandum to exclude illegal aliens from being counted when the federal government apportions congressional representation to the states — a reversal of existing policy that allows states with large illegal populations to soak up more political power by counting all residents rather than legal residents. The ACLU lawsuit claims not counting illegal aliens in congressional apportionment is unconstitutional. 5 Things Trump Should Start Running On Right Now To Win Re-Election. Emphasizing these five themes of protection could summarize for voters what they would get from four more years of Trump in the White House. [...] [#2] Protecting the Border: Another signature 2016 campaign issue was Trump's promise to enforce immigration laws. He has largely followed through on this policy, although mishandling of minors caught illegally immigrating significant damaged the administration. Arranging more humane detention centers and speeding up the judicial process for asylum claims could resolve that problem while keeping the promise of law enforcement. All the Democrats had to do was be normal — promise to fix the detention centers and enforce the law efficiently. Instead, Biden and his party have campaigned on a decriminalization of illegal immigration, promising they would treat the crime of illegal entry into the United States as a minor civil offense, essentially no worse than jaywalking. Set against that, all Trump must do to appeal to an electoral majority is promise the vigorous enforcement of existing laws, a mainstream position. Bill Barr appoints immigration judge who's a fmr director at FAIR, known for hard-line immigration policies. Members of the left are upset that Attorney General Bill Barr has appointed an immigration judge who actually respects and believes in America's immigration laws. "The judge, Matthew J. O'Brien, was officially named to his new position in the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) in June — but was just formally inducted into the largest ever corps of immigration judges along with 45 others," Law & Order, a far-left news website, complained Saturday [7/18/2020]. "'From 2016 to 2020, he served as the director of research at the Federation for American Immigration Reform.' ... The group, known in immigration law circles by its acronym, FAIR, has a history of connections to hard-line immigration policies." As news of the appointment, which happened Friday, spread, so did the smears. Cry the Beloved Country. [Scroll down] No socialist country ever produces equal results. If it worked here, with equal results for all, then everyone would be a millionaire with three houses, just like Bernie Sanders, who fled the diversity of Brooklyn, New York, for lily-White Vermont. That is why millions have risked their lives to get here, whether sneaking in steerage aboard rickety boats crossing the Atlantic to the Statue of Liberty or paying coyotes to smuggle them in down south, even desperately lunging across the border in their ninth month of pregnancy, like a football quarterback trying to lunge into the end zone from the one-yard line, so that their unaborted fetus can come out on American soil. [...] Who on earth desperately tries to immigrate into China, into Russia (other than Edward Snowden), into Cuba (other than FBI-wanted Black Panther terrorist and murderer Joanne Chesimard), into Venezuela? When Germany was divided after World War II, the wall was erected to prevent people from fleeing communist/socialist East Germany to the capitalist West. Who tries to flee from South Korea to North Korea? The massive, never-ending onslaught onto our borders demonstrates our country's unique greatness. Why Do We Have Police, Anyway? [Scroll down] Huizinga and Spierenburg write about the "pacification" and "privatization" of European society in the last 500 years. What they mean is the gradual replacement of clan and gang feuds and public executions with police and courts and prisons. Here's the prison story. First they imprisoned madmen; then they imprisoned the poor in workhouses (see peasants, above); then they imprisoned the criminals. Way to go, guys. Why do we have our modern pacified middle-class cities? Nobody knows, least of all lefties, but I have an idea. It is because violence and blood feuds and gangs do not pay. Hello Minneapolis? Anyone there? Notice that in the USA every immigrant wave involves a surge in gangs. The Irish had their gangs in the 19th century; the Jews had their gangs at the turn of the 20th century; the Italians had their gangs till the day before yesterday. But as each immigrant wave climbed into the middle class, their gangs disappeared. Today we have Black gangs and Hispanic gangs, because those are the ethnic groups that have not yet climbed into the middle class. Greyhound's Value Drops by $156M Due to Less Illegal Immigration to U.S.. The value of Greyhound Lines Inc., the intercity bus service company, has seen a drop in its value as a result of reductions to illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border. Executives with Greyhound's parent company, FirstGroup, told MarketWatch their value has dropped by about $156 million because of less migration across the southern border. As Breitbart News has reported, President Trump's administration released tens of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. every month. Those foreign nationals would board Greyhound buses to travel to the interior of the country. DNC Platform Proposal: Flood the U.S. with Migrants. Tens of millions of Americans are, at present, unemployed. Tens of millions of Americans are unemployed because of an artificial economic shutdown due to the coronavirus. They're not out of work because the American economy failed them. They're out of work because government leadership failed them. There was never any need to shut down. There was no need to destroy the world's number-one economy. But they did it. And now tens of millions of Americans are unemployed, and the Democrats, as part of their party platform, have a plank designed to invite the world's migrants to the country, flood the country with the world's migrants. What kind of idiot would inflict that kind of damage on the country, which is already trying to deal with nearly unprecedented levels of damage? Communist idiots, Marxist idiots. You know what they're doing. Democrats want and need a permanent underclass to lord over. 9 Radical Ideas in the Biden-Sanders 'Unity' Platform. Former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) released the policy recommendations of their "unity task force" on Wednesday [7/8/2020]. [...] Here are nine of the most radical proposals in the "unity" document: [...] [#9] End the border wall and "provide a roadmap to citizenship for the millions of undocumented workers." A Biden administration would stop the construction of the "unnecessary, wasteful, and ineffective wall on the southern border" — thus allowing an open border — while also giving voting citizenship to the eleven million-plus illegal aliens who are already here, permanently changing the American electorate and enshrining Democrats in power forever. But what if there are really 33 million? The Coming Collapse of the Republic. [Scroll down] Then there's our 1965-born immigration policy, which, I've estimated, gives Democrats 300,000 new voters yearly, three million a decade. And when the Democrats assume full control, they'll legalize the illegal aliens among us and open the floodgates further (goodbye, wall), giving themselves perhaps tens of millions of new voters in short order. Supreme Court rules 7-2 illegal immigrants who fail asylum screenings can be deported without review. In a win for the Trump administration, the Supreme Court has ruled immigrants seeking asylum cannot appeal decisions made earlier in the process in federal court. A 7-2 vote by the court Thursday [6/25/2020] decided those who fail their initial asylum screenings will not be able to call for a review of the decision before they are deported. The court also ruled that habeas corpus, a legal procedure requiring the government to explain why someone is being held, will not be applied to asylum seekers. U.S. Supreme Court bolsters Trump's power over rapid deportation. The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday [6/25/2020] enhanced the ability of President Donald Trump's administration to quickly deport illegal immigrants including asylum seekers with limited judicial review, handing him a victory in a case involving one of his signature issues in an election year. Clinton-Appointed Judge: 'Illegal' to Arrest Criminal Illegal Aliens at New York Courthouses. A federal judge, appointed by former President Bill Clinton, says federal immigration agents arresting criminal illegal aliens at New York state courthouses is "illegal." United States District Court Judge Jed Rakoff ruled on Wednesday [6/10/2020] that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) must not arrest criminal illegal aliens as they are leaving court in New York. Why You No Longer Recognize Your Country. Mass looting throughout the nation. Police precincts burned to the ground. Murdered cops. An historic church in Lafayette Park set on fire. Video after horrifying video of innocent Americans being beaten senseless by gangs of thugs, as one political party demands: "DEFUND THE POLICE!" Everyone is saying it: I no longer recognize my country. You don't recognize your country because it's not the same country. What you're seeing is the third-world hellhole the left has been quietly assembling for us since 1970. Minnesota, the crucible of the riots, has gone from having 2.6% foreign-born in 1990 to nearly 10% foreign-born today — and that's not including their children or illegals. Instead of liberal but non-rioting Scandinavians and Germans, the new immigrants are overwhelmingly African, Asian and Hispanic. In fact, Minnesota now has a much larger proportion of Asian and African immigrants than the nation as a whole. Although the state has always leaned Democratic, thanks to its German and Scandinavian immigrants (Ben Franklin was right about them), the Norsemen elected Walter Mondale. Recent immigrants elected Rep. Ilhan Omar. Hey, Republicans! Tell me again that immigration is just a "single issue." Time to Pause Immigration for a While. In the epoch of COVID-19, many have willingly abdicated personal sovereignty and liberty to the State. Many more, however, have led the continuing renaissance of constitutional nationalism that was ushered in with the election of Donald Trump. It's high time to apply nationalism to the issue that will most singularly determine whether we nationalists keep our republic: immigration. The United States is overpopulated (or, if you prefer, has enough people here), and it's time to seal the borders until further notice. No, I'm not talking just The Wall at our southern border or our temporary groundings of flights or refugees and asylum-seekers — no more new bodies who are coming to live in the U.S. indefinitely until further notice. To truly put America first, we need a moratorium on legal immigration for the next five to ten years. No money to send home. For years, Mexicans have sent billions of U.S. dollars to their families back home. [...] According to a Fox report, remittances to Mexico were U.S. $36 billion in 2019. In simple terms, that's about 3% of their $1 trillion GDP. For the sake of comparison, Mexico receives about $25 billion from tourism and $22 billion in annual petroleum exports. It must have been a bit frustrating for Mexico to read that unemployed migrants in the U.S. have no money to send. According to Erick Shneider, regional head for Latin America and the Caribbean with WorldRemit, they've noticed a drop. California Tried to Bail Out Illegal Aliens - and It's a Disaster. California's illegal alien population is its shadow economy and with many of the industries that employ them shut down, the Democrats who depend on ghost districts populated by illegals decided that something had to be urgently done to keep the illegal aliens from fleeing back across the border. The Democrats figured that giving them checks would be cheaper than building a wall to keep them in. But who knew that a $125 million stimulus program for illegal aliens would become such a disaster? Illegal aliens were eligible to apply for up to $1,000 with $75 million coming from the California taxpayers bailing out illegals who don't pay taxes. And another $50 million was supposed to be donated by wealthy lefties. But while the taxpayers of the state were forced to put up their $75 million, the wealthy politically correct elites who have poured fortunes into electing Democrats didn't pay up. ICE to migrant parents: You decide if your kids stay or not. The coronavirus pandemic is changing how the Trump administration handles illegal immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border. Citing a public health concern, the speed of returning children to their home countries has quickened. A 1944 emergency public-health law is cited as justification for the changes. So far, since the pandemic, over 900 children have been returned to their home countries. The public-health law allows the government to turn back migrants at the border, including children, without taking them into custody or allowing them to file asylum claims. The CDC backed the order in March and in April an extension for 30 days was issued. Now the extension has been put in place for the duration of the pandemic. Donald Trump Shuts Huge Migrant Pipeline Run by Coyotes, Federal Agencies. President Donald Trump and his deputies have shut down the coyote-run smuggling pipeline that has used federal agencies to deliver almost 500,000 youths and children to their illegal-alien parents living in northern cities. ICE now flying illegal crossers to Mexico City as expulsion policy extended and modified. Beginning this week, Mexican nationals arrested for crossing the border illegally will be flown to Mexico City instead of being dropped off at ports of entry. As border restrictions were extended on Tuesday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection decided to alter its own policy. Now, instead of immediately being returned through border crossings, detained migrants will have to wait in custody up to three days before being flown all the way to Mexico City. The Editor says... Tom Cotton: Defund States Giving Coronavirus Relief to Illegal Aliens. Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) has introduced legislation that will defund states and localities providing American taxpayer-funded coronavirus relief money to illegal aliens. Cotton's legislation, titled the No Bailouts for Illegal Aliens Act, would prohibit sending additional federal funds to states and localities that issue stimulus checks to illegal aliens. House Democrats voted to give illegal immigrants $16 billion in stimulus checks. The House's recently passed $3 trillion spending package provides more than $16 billion in coronavirus stimulus payments to illegal immigrants who file tax returns without Social Security numbers, according to an analysis. The chamber's HEROES Act, written by House Democrats, passed on Friday 208-199 with just one Republican, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), voting for the bill and 23 members not present. The bill includes a provision to provide retroactive stimulus payments to illegal immigrants who filed tax returns in 2018 or 2019 with tax ID numbers under the $2.2 trillion CARES Act. It would also allow illegal immigrants with tax IDs to qualify for a second round of stimulus payments. Citizenship agency faces 'drastic' coronavirus cash crunch, begs Congress for $1.2 billion. The federal agency that handles citizenship and other legal immigration applications is running out of money amid the coronavirus crisis, and warned Congress on Friday it needs a quick infusion of $1.2 billion in taxpayer money or else it will have to take "drastic actions" to keep the doors open. Joseph Edlow, deputy director for policy at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, told employees in a memo Friday that they've already done some belt-tightening and are working on a new fee schedule that will bring in more money. But it won't be enough and Congress will have to pony up. The Editor says... Five Bangladeshi Migrants Apprehended Crossing Border into Arizona. Yuma Sector Border Patrol agents arrested a group of men who illegally crossed the border from Mexico into Arizona. Agents identified the five men as Bangladeshi nationals. Yuma Station agents patrolling the border near the levee on Tuesday apprehended a group of five migrants who illegally crossed the border from Mexico. The agents conducted medical screenings in the field and cleared the men to travel with agents to the Yuma Station, according to information obtained from U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials. Five Mexican Migrants Arrested After Crossing Canadian Border into Maine. Houlton Sector Border Patrol agents assigned to the Jackman Station in Maine arrested a group of five Mexican nationals after they illegally crossed the border from Canada. Jackman Station officials received a tip from a citizen about a group of people illegally crossing the border from Canada into Maine. The witness said he observed the group coming out of the brush onto a road south of the St. Juste Port of Entry. The witness picked up the five people and drove them to the port of entry to meet up with Border Patrol agents, according to information obtained from U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials. $3 trillion Dem bill would grant amnesty to illegal aliens! What would be bought with the $3 trillion Democrats are proposing in yet another massive coronavirus stimulus bill? For one thing, amnesty until the end of the coronavirus for millions of illegal aliens who have "essential" jobs. And the distribution of $1,200 stimulus checks people in the country illegally. Along with huge tax breaks for the millionaire and billionaire classes in the Democratic Party. 80% Of Border Crossers Are Turned Back In Under Two Hours, DHS Deputy Says. Eight in 10 illegal entrants at the border are being turned back quickly because of policies implemented to combat the coronavirus pandemic, the acting deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said. Ken Cuccinelli, the second-highest DHS official, reacted to the latest enforcement action data from the U.S.-Mexico border. April apprehension numbers reached a low not seen in several years, and most of the aliens who did appear unlawfully at the border were immediately sent back to Mexico. Supreme Court rules encouraging illegal aliens to remain in U.S. is a crime. The Supreme Court unanimously upheld a federal statute that forbids encouraging illegal aliens to remain in the U.S. unlawfully in a decision Thursday [5/7/2020]. The Supreme Court justices voided an earlier decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which had ruled that a federal anti-harboring statute was unconstitutional on the grounds that it violated the First Amendment by restricting free speech. The ruling by the nation's highest court Thursday upholds the law. Supreme Court unanimously rules encouraging illegal immigrants to stay in US is criminal. In a rarity, the Supreme Court has issued a unanimous ruling in upholding a U.S. law that bars people from actively encouraging illegal immigrants to remain inside the country. All nine justices on Thursday [5/7/2020] overturned a ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals which had said a federal anti-harboring statute was unconstitutional because it allegedly violated the First Amendment's free speech guarantee. In upholding the U.S. law, the high court also chastised the 9th Circuit judges for "drastically" veering from established judicial norms. The Editor says... Poll: 65 Percent of Americans Want All Immigration to America Stopped. Numbers USA reported that the majority of Americans want all immigration to the United States stopped during the Wuhan virus crisis, according to a new poll. On April 20, 2020, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that slowed green card processing for less than ten percent of the 1.2 million legal immigrants that would be admitted to the U.S. On top of the aforementioned legal immigration admissions, there are millions of foreign nationals who can still enter the country with foreign visa worker programs, student visas, tourist visas, and special immigrant visas. These visas remain active despite over 30 million Americans being out of work. Ted Cruz, other Trump allies tell president to expand immigration pause. Key GOP allies implored President Trump on Thursday to expand his immigration pause to include temporary guest-workers, saying those foreigners who come for only a short period of time are the "critical" threat to out-of-work Americans looking for jobs. Sens. Charles E. Grassley, Ted Cruz, Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley signed a letter urging suspension of the H-1B visa, which is heavily used by tech companies, and the H-2B visa, which is used by landscaping and resort businesses. They also urged Mr. Trump to suspend the Optional Practical Training program, which allows foreign students to extend their stay in the U.S. to work for up to three years. California Judges Block Trump Rule that Immigrants Must Have Health Insurance. A three-judge panel in California has blocked President Donald Trump's October 2019 immigration reform that requires that would-be legal immigrants be able to pay for their own healthcare costs. The nationwide legal block — a "stay" — will allow the continued entry of legal immigrants who cannot cover the cost of treatment during the coronavirus epidemic. One million legal immigrants are admitted each year, regardless of the economic impact on taxpayers, home buyers, and unemployed Americans. ICE detainees refuse coronavirus tests, rush officers and trash detention center instead. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainees in Massachusetts rushed officers, barricaded themselves inside the facility and caused more than $25,000 worth of damage after being told they would be transferred to a medical wing of the facility and tested for coronavirus, authorities said. Roughly 10 inmates at an immigration detention center in Dartmouth, Massachusetts reported symptoms of COVID-19 to medical personnel, according to a press release from the Bristol County Sheriff's Office. However, when the detainees were told on Friday [5/1/2020] that they would be moved to a medical wing of the facility and tested for COVID-19, they "rushed violently" at Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson and other officers and barricaded themselves inside a wing of the building, the sheriff said. Mexico Deports Nearly All Of Its Illegal Migrants Amid Coronavirus Fears, Government Reveals. Mexico has almost completely cleared out its migrant centers as a precaution against the coronavirus outbreak, its government announced. The National Migration Institute (INM), the agency in Mexico that manages immigration, said it has been deporting immigrants from the country's 65 migrant facilities since March 21, according to Reuters. The actions are being made in order to comply with safety and health guidelines amid the coronavirus pandemic. Mexico's government migrant centers housed 3,759 people in March. In recent weeks, authorities have repatriated 3,653 migrants back to Guatemala, El Salvador and Guatemala by air and road. Federal judge in Miami has no jurisdiction over ICE detention practices, lawyers claim. Lawyers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told a federal court in Miami that it has "no basis" for any oversight of "ICE's administration of its sound policies." The Miami Herald reported Monday that the agency's response was to a recommendation by Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman who said earlier that the agency should prove that it is working to speed up the release of non-criminal detainees during the coronavirus pandemic.Goodman wrote a 69-page report and determined that the court could not grant the petitioners' request for an immediate release of the "1,400 noncitizen detainees," but called on steps to be implemented to speed up the process, Law 360 reported. Supreme Court denies motion to block Trump 'public charge' rule during pandemic. The Supreme Court on Friday denied a request to block the Trump administration's "public charge" rule during the coronavirus health crisis. A group of state attorneys general had asked the court to issue an injunction against the rule, which links a migrant's eligibility for legal status with the likelihood that he or she will rely on public assistance. The court had decided earlier this year to allow the rule to go into effect, but the group of state officials, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James (D), had asked the justices to revisit the decision in light of the ongoing pandemic. Piercing illusion of Trump's farce of an immigration ban. President Donald Trump unleashed his "April surprise" on Monday night [4/20/2020], sending shock waves from the Beltway Swamp to Silicon Valley with a long-overdue announcement: "In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens," he declared, "I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!" The usual suspects inveighed against the still-unseen proposal early Tuesday morning. [...] This is a cynical betrayal of the burgeoning "America First" movement. It's all moratorium hat and no cattle: [#1] All new green card applications and routine visa processing were already suspended on March 20. [#2] Refugee resettlement was already suspended the same week and is scheduled to be frozen until at least May 15 (although more than 1,000 Afghan refugees were flown in over the past month while the rest of us have been ordered shut in our own homes). [#3] Foreign travelers from China and Europe, plus Canada and Mexico, were already barred from entering (though thousands of H-2A and H-2B agricultural and seasonal workers got in and some 35,000 more expect a green light despite virus outbreaks at Chinese-owned meat plants packed with foreign laborers). Why is coronavirus being used as excuse to release illegal aliens instead of send them back? Only one phantom right will be left standing after the nuclear war against the Bill of Rights is complete: the "right" of illegal and criminal aliens to remain in this country. If coronavirus is an earth-shattering crisis such that our government can suspend the most foundational natural rights of citizens, isn't it a big enough crisis that other countries' criminals should be removed from our country without further review? That way we don't have to worry about them spreading the virus in detention facilities or in our communities, nor do we have to concern ourselves with their potential crime and public charge. Bonus result: Airlines could get much-needed cash from flying them back. [...] Let's not forget that most aliens can voluntarily depart without proceedings under INA §240B. We are not trying to hold them. They are the ones demanding to stay. Donald Trump bans immigration into the U.S. with executive order to 'protect jobs' amid coronavirus pandemic. Donald Trump announced Monday [4/20/2020] that he plans to ban immigration into the United States amid the coronavirus pandemic. The president tweeted: 'In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!' At least 22 million Americans are now out of work as tough measures to control the coronavirus outbreak wiped out 13.5 percent of the workforce and 10 years of job growth. Republicans Show Support for Trump's Immigration Order Citing Millions of Jobless Americans. Republicans seem mostly supportive of President Donald Trump's announcement that he would temporarily suspend legal immigration into the United States to protect Americans from the coronavirus and a flooded job market when more than 22 million workers are unemployed. Details about the expected executive order are not clear, but despite Democrats slamming Trump for dismissing the contributions of some foreign workers, Bloomberg News reported it obtained a draft of the order, which includes exceptions for people working directly in the supply chain and also those working in health care or as medical research professionals. Trump: Immigration Pause Will 'Put Unemployed Americans First in Line for Jobs'. President Trump says his upcoming executive order to pause most legal immigration to the United States will ensure that the roughly 22 million unemployed Americans will be "first in line" for jobs when the nation reopens in the midst of the coronavirus crisis. During his daily press briefing on Tuesday, Trump outlined some specifics of his executive order pausing most legal immigration to the U.S. — a plan that will include a moratorium on issuing green cards to foreign nationals for at least 60 days. Trump says he will sign executive order to 'temporarily suspend immigration' to US over coronavirus. President Trump announced that he will be signing an executive order to suspend immigration into the United States. Trump made the surprise announcement in a late-night tweet on Monday [4/20/2020]. While the details of his forthcoming order were unclear, the move would follow travel restrictions already imposed on China, most of Europe, and other countries during the coronavirus pandemic. "In light of the attack from the Invisible Enemy, as well as the need to protect the jobs of our GREAT American Citizens, I will be signing an Executive Order to temporarily suspend immigration into the United States!" he said. Meat shortages: The wages of 'cheap' illegal labor. [Scroll down] Seems we might just be experiencing that now with the big meat plant shutdowns, based on problems with much of the labor force being out with the coronavirus. The plants also are described in news reports as having an "immigrant" workforce. Based on the number of ICE chicken plant raids seen in recent news, it's very likely that these plants, too, may be dependent on illegal alien labor. With those workers now either out with COVID-19 or else in, and spreading it to others, the plants are going down. Worse still, industry consolidation means that these plants are now few in number, so nothing can pick up the slack. The shutdowns are expected to mean meat shortages at the groceries, curiously similar to Venezuela's. Because the state has a HUGE budget surplus... The Editor says... Illegal Immigrants in Los Angeles Can Apply for Pre-Paid Debit Cards. Los Angeles will be doling out pre-paid debit cards to residents who have faced economic hardship due to the coronavirus lockdown, and living in the country illegally won't disqualify you from getting the cash. Los Angeles officials have begun accepting applications for a no-fee debit card that provides cash to residents who were already living under the poverty line before the coronavirus crisis began and have since had their incomes dramatically reduced because of the outbreak, KTLA5 reported. Democrats introduce legislation to release detainees and stop ICE enforcement. Democrats are introducing legislation that, if signed into law, would mandate the release of illegal aliens in detention and stop enforcement measures against a large number of aliens living unlawfully in the United States. New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker and Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal introduced the Federal Immigrant Release for Safety and Security Together (FIRST) Act on Monday [4/13/2020]. While many Democratic members of Congress have urged the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for a rollback of enforcement measures amid the coronavirus pandemic, this bill marks one of the first instances where they are turning such concerns into legislative action. Good! The Editor says... If America Must Be Shut Down, So Must Its Guest Worker Programs. America-Firsters were both perplexed and furious for most of last week as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appeared to be going ahead with its early March announcement to expand the H-2B unskilled guest-worker program to over 100,000 slots a year. With unemployment-benefit applications for March coming in at over 10 million, the last time the job market looked this bad — the Great Depression of the 1930s — immigration authorities sought to help, not hinder, the American worker by creating the nation's first-ever illegal-alien-removal program. Mexican president urges citizens living in US to keep sending money back to his country. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is urging citizens living in the United States to keep sending money to relatives back home, despite whatever economic struggles they are facing because of the coronavirus pandemic. During a Monday morning [4/6/2020] press conference, López Obrador spoke about his administration's response to the spread of coronavirus in Mexico, which is becoming a more pressing issue as a greater number of citizens test positive for the disease. Their neighbors to the North, however, continue to be harder hit, with the U.S. government passing a $2 trillion stimulus package to help struggling Americans. Chicago Mayor Signs Executive Order Giving Coronavirus Benefits To Illegal Aliens. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Tuesday signed an executive order ensuring that all immigrants and refugees — including illegal aliens — are eligible to receive the city's coronavirus benefits. The city of Chicago has launched several programs in order to help residents cope with the financial challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Such initiatives include a coronavirus Housing Assistance Grant program, an online resources program for students through the city's public schools, and a $100 million Chicago Small Business Resiliency Fund to help small businesses that are struggling. Lightfoot's order Tuesday [4/7/2020]will allow illegal aliens to tap into all of these programs. Illegal border crossings fall to zero in pandemic. The number of foreigners arrested for illegally entering the United States from Canada, Mexico, and along the coasts have dropped to almost nothing in the past week as the U.S. became the world leader in confirmed cases, according to Department of Homeland Security officials. Only 79 people were encountered Sunday by Border Patrol agents nationwide after they had attempted to enter the country between ports of entry. If that rate continued over the course of a month, it would make for fewer than 2,500 apprehensions, a drop in the bucket compared to the 30,000 arrests that agents made just on the southern border in February and 132,000 at the peak of the border crisis last May. Border arrests reflect the number of people attempting to cross. What Can Be Done On Immigration Now. This is an unusual time in U.S. immigration history. All non-essential immigration from Mexico, Canada, China, and Europe is on hold. [...] There are millions of Americans who are currently out of work due to the effects of the Wuhan virus, and undoubtedly there are hundreds if not thousands of them who would be excellent [Border Patrol] agents, but have never considered (before) a government career. Now is the time for a concerted hiring push for a job that comes with a good salary, excellent benefits, and a great retirement package. Now is also the time for CBP to plan on the (optimistically not too distant day) when the borders reopen. That day will bring not only millions of lawful travelers, but likely thousands of illicit migrants, as well. In the last five fiscal years, there has been an uptick in the number of migrants entering illegally or without proper documents along the Southwest border beginning in the spring, a trend that has often continued into December. The agency has, by necessity, often had to react quickly to such surges, but the current lull would be the perfect time to put in place contingency plans for dealing with a future wave of illegal entries, using the lessons that were hard learned as the situation along the border devolved in late 2018 through 2019. Newsom is Giving Emergency Grants to Illegal Alien Small Business Owners. On Friday [4/3/2020], a reporter from Telemundo asked California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom what emergency relief he would be providing for illegal aliens amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. "No state in America does more to help residents regardless of their immigration status," the governor rightly assured the reporter. Newsom first bragged about the state's healthcare coverage for illegal aliens before explaining how his administration is now helping illegal alien small business owners obtain grants while a large part of the American economy remains shut down. Facing 30 percent unemployment, we're importing more foreign workers. Why? With 10 million unemployment claims just in the past two weeks and a jobless rate that could reach 32 percent, the Trump Administration is continuing the trend of increasing importation of foreign workers, whose numbers have doubled over the past decade. The State Department has waived the interview requirement for H-2A visa farmworkers to speed their arrival, while the Department of Homeland Security is going ahead with a lottery for H-1B cheap-labor visas for tech firms and possibly increasing the number of H-2B nonfarm seasonal workers (for landscaping, hotels, carnivals, etc.) This last is perhaps the most unreal. Following its recent practice, Congress responded to pressure from industry lobbyists to increase the number of H-2B visas by passing the buck to DHS, authorizing — but not requiring — it to increase the number. The administration decided on the largest-ever increase — 35,000 additional visas — in the long-ago days of 3 percent unemployment (i.e., March 5). Minnesota: Woman Charged with Visa Fraud; Injured Illegals to Help them Get Special Visas. Just when you think you have heard it all, here comes yet another scam on America. Did you even know there were U-Visas that allow illegal aliens to stay in the US if they have been the victim of a crime. This creepy woman actually cut her willing accomplices with a box cutter to help create the lie that they were victims! Coronavirus: Illegal Aliens Demand $1.2K Each in Taxpayer-Funded Checks. Illegal aliens are demanding they too receive $1,200 in federal checks from the government as part of a Chinese coronavirus crisis relief package. Open borders organizations like the George Soros-funded United We Dream, the National Immigrant Justice Center, and the National Immigration Law Center — all of which represent the roughly 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living in the United States — are pleading with the federal government to cut federal checks to illegal aliens who have Individual Tax Identification Number (ITINs). Hire American: Halt to immigrant hiring sought during virus crisis. The surge in layoffs prompted by the coronavirus is leading to urgent calls in Washington to end a program that encourages big corporations to hire immigrant STEM graduates, often Chinese, who frequently get paid less than U.S. workers. Several immigration reform groups said that jobs during the crisis should go to U.S. science, technology, engineering, and mathematics graduates, not guest workers. "Government leaders should seize the opportunity to hit the 'reset button' and ensure that American workers get the first crack at jobs across the economic spectrum," said Matt O'Brien, research director for the Federation for American Immigration Reform. Four Supreme Court rulings this term strengthen Trump's hand on immigration. The confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court have proven to be consequential in advancing President Trump's immigration agenda. Four cases decided during this term, three by a 5-4 margin, have reversed lower court decisions that sought to make it harder to restrict immigration. This should have been done years ago: Supreme Court Sides With Trump on 'Remain in Mexico' Policy. The Supreme Court on Wednesday said the Trump administration can continue enforcing a policy at the southern border that returns asylum-seekers to Mexico as they await court dates in the U.S. The order blocks an injunction against the so-called "Remain in Mexico" policy that was set to take effect Thursday [3/12/2020], allowing it to continue while a challenge works its way through the courts. It's a significant victory for the White House, which has seen many of its immigration policies held up as disputes are heard in federal courts. ICE says it will take 140 years to deport illegals from border surge. ICE's chief said Wednesday [3/11/2020] that at current deportation rates it would take 140 years to remove all the illegal immigrants who came in during the border surge of the past two years. Matt Albence, acting director at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said the border surge over the past two years added 900,000 more cases to ICE's non-detained docket, which now totals more than 3.3 million. That far outstrips ICE's ability to track down and deport people, he told the House Appropriations Committee. This is why immigration checkpoints exist. The U.S. Census, Illegals - and Counting Congressional Seats. The U.S. census is held every 10 years in order to count people, not citizens, and to then allocate congressional seats based on the count. There are at least 22 million legal non-citizens and 12 million illegal immigrants in our country or 10.4% of our population of 330 million. They are all non-citizens who will be counted in the census for the purpose of reallocating the 435 U.S. House seats. This means that 34 U.S. congressional seats will be attributed to non-citizens. Minnesota, by comparison, gets just eight congressional seats. This system of counting helps sanctuary states like California gain more congressional seats than if only citizens were counted because of their large illegal alien populations. No wonder California treats their illegal immigrants with such respect, as those illegals get them additional congressional house seats and all of the power and Federal money that comes along with those seats. Left howls after Trump orders detained illegals to give DNA samples. As usual, the left is howling about the Trump administration's new plan to force detained illegals — the brazen people who cross illegally and turn themselves in to U.S. Border Patrol authorities for 'services' — to provide DNA samples to lawmen, in order to catch the ones who are already wanted for other crimes, mostly from past occasions of breaking into the U.S. Bangladeshi national pleads guilty to smuggling illegal immigrants into US via Mexico. A Bangladeshi man pleaded guilty last week to his role in smuggling his fellow countrymen into the United States from Mexico in exchange for payments, prosecutors said. Mohamad Milon Hossain, 39, admitted that from March 2017 to June 2019, he smuggled Bangladeshi nationals into the United States at the Texas border, according to a press release from the Justice Department. Pentagon Sends Troops to California Border amid Fears of Border Rush. The government is sending 160 soldiers to help border agents block the migrant surge that is expected if the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals strikes down the Migrant Protection Protocols. The MPP program has sent roughly 60,000 migrants back into Mexico, prior to their eventual asylum hearings in the United States. The return policy deters migration by preventing migrants from getting the U.S. jobs they need to repay their smuggling loans — unless they eventually win their backlogged courtroom claims. DOJ approves plan to collect DNA from arrested illegal immigrants. The Trump administration finalized a new policy Friday that paves the way for Homeland Security to collect DNA from all illegal immigrants the department arrests, fulfilling the terms of a 2005 law that the government has been evading for years. Under the new rules, posted online Friday and slated to be published in the Federal Register next week, Attorney General William P. Barr can cancel an Obama-era waiver and order collection of DNA by agents and officers in both U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Illegal Aliens Try to Influence Super Tuesday Primaries for Democrats. United We Dream Action, one of the largest national immigrant rights groups with illegal aliens as part of its membership, announced Friday its endorsement for Warren and Sanders and support to end all deportations of illegal aliens. "Both Warren and Sanders rise far above the rest in their vision and readiness to deliver on our platform for change," the group said in a video. [...] In prior primaries, like the Iowa Democrat Caucus, illegal aliens and noncitizens organized for Sanders, as Breitbart News reported. Breitbart writes, "both Warren and Sanders have endorsed a platform that forces America's working and middle class to compete against the world's workforce for jobs, including decriminalizing U.S.-Mexico border crossings, amnesty for the majority of the 11 to 22 million illegal alien population, and taxpayer-funded healthcare for all illegal aliens, noncitizens, and foreign nationals." Texas bus company forced to pay U.S. workers after hiring foreigners instead. Edward Turknett learned that El Expreso, a Houston bus company, was looking for drivers, so he followed all the instructions in the job listing to apply. He never heard back. The Justice Department says El Expreso wasn't interested in American workers and wanted to hire foreigners on work visas. Though the bus company maintains its innocence after a department investigation, it has agreed to pay a fine to the government and a sizable settlement to those like Mr. Turknett who were left without a job. Supreme Court Narrowly Decides That Identity Theft by Illegal Aliens Is Actually a Crime. Small wonder that we are a magnet for illegal immigration. [...] In 1986, Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA). IRCA made it illegal to employ illegal aliens, established an employment eligibility verification system, and created various civil and criminal penalties against employers who violate the law. As part of this law came the Form I-9, known to anyone who has applied for a job in the past 30 years. This is a largely toothless provision that does nothing to deter anyone from employing an illegal nor does it pose any noticeable bar to the ability of illegals to work, but it has created a booming black market in I-9 friendly documents. What could have been a fairly formidable tool to deter longterm illegals has been effectively gutted by the courts. Divided Supreme Court rules illegal immigrants can't be shielded from ID theft prosecution. A divided Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that illegal immigrants who use someone else's information when filling out tax forms for employment can face criminal charges, despite federal laws that liberal justices claim should prohibit such cases. The Immigration Control and Reform Act (IRCA) makes it a federal crime to lie on the I-9 work authorization form, while limiting how the false information can be used. Federal law also says information "contained in" the I-9 cannot be used for law enforcement other than specified exceptions — but the Supreme Court ruled that if workers use the same information in tax documents, they can face charges. Democrats Use Migrants to Smuggle the Transgender Ideology into U.S. Law. Democrat legislators want President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to comply with pro-transgender rules set by President Barack Obama in 2015. The legislators are pushing the pro-transgender policies despite Trump's policy of reestablishing the legal recognition of fundamental biological differences between men and women Obama sought to abolish. For example, Obama's pro-transgender policy sought to place migrant men who say they are "transgender women" in detention facilities with women. Obama's rules would also have provided foreign migrants with expensive hormones that help them change their sexual appearance, even when migrants could not afford those medications in their home countries. Ninth Circuit Court: Trump administration must stop returning asylum seekers to Mexico. It's probably one of the most successful policies to reduce the number of migrants showing up at the southern US border. Today a 3-judge panel from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the remain in Mexico policy is illegal. Appeals court temporarily blocks Trump administration's 'Remain-in-Mexico' policy. A federal appeals court on Friday slapped a temporary halt on the Remain-in-Mexico policy — one of the most effective Trump administration policies in halting last year's migrant crisis — dealing a significant blow to the administration's efforts to control the flow of migrants claiming asylum at the southern border. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled in a 2-1 vote to put a hold on the policy — formally known as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP). In a separate ruling Friday [2/28/2020], the same court also blocked an administration policy that prevents immigrants who crossed the border illegally from then claiming asylum in the U.S. Illegal immigrant population shrinks as Mexicans go home. Despite the surge of illegal migrants from Central America, the actual unauthorized population in the U.S. has dropped over the last decade, according to a new analysis Wednesday that found hundreds of thousands of Mexicans have surrendered their foothold and self-deported back home. The border is also no longer the key to illegal immigration, with the Center for Migration Studies of New York calculating that two-thirds of the new unauthorized migrants between 2010 and 2018 came on legal visas but never returned home. Only one-third jump the border. Over that period, the total illegal immigrant population fell from 11.8 million to 10.6 million, CMS says. A New Section Of US Attorneys Is Being Created To Strip Naturalized Citizenship From Suspected Fraudsters. The Department of Justice is creating a new section of attorneys to handle cases aimed at stripping naturalized citizenship from people suspected of fraud, officials announced Wednesday [2/26/2020]. The move will likely inspire increased fear in immigrant communities already on edge over the Trump administration's immigration restrictions. DOJ officials framed the creation of the Denaturalization Section, which will be housed in the civil Office of Immigration Litigation, as an effort to crack down on an increase in cases of those who have engaged in fraud, human rights violations, sexual offenses, and other crimes. The Perfect Storm Of Homelessness & Cesspools Of Filth In The Big Cities. Today our politicians and judges have opened our borders to armies of immigrants who mostly despise us, and tons of drugs to feed a growing number of brain dead addicts, and have also released hordes of criminals to live on the streets. Like virtually every crisis we peasants must face, this one was deliberately created by the Deep State. Supreme Court denies Mexican family's damages claim for cross-border shooting. A deeply divided Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the family of a Mexican teen shot and killed by a U.S. Border Patrol agent cannot seek damages because of the border that was between them. The justices ruled 5-4 that Sergio Adrian Hernández Guereca, 15, lacked constitutional protection against the use of excessive force because he was in Mexico. Had he been in Texas with Border Patrol agent Jesus Mesa, his family would have had a claim. Associate Justice Samuel Alito wrote the opinion and was joined by the court's four other conservatives. The four liberal justices dissented. Is It Illegal To Encourage Unlawful Behavior? If you tell someone to violate the law, is that a punishable crime? Simply put, that case comes before the Supreme Court on Feb. 25. Justices will consider whether to uphold the conviction of a woman whose crime was advising immigrants to break the law. Will the justices rule that the First Amendment forbids making this a crime, or try to avoid that question altogether? New immigration crackdown begins, no more welfare. The Trump administration today is reinstating a Clinton-era welfare reform rule, once widely embraced by top Democrats in Congress, requiring immigrants to be self-sufficient, a move that could end up to $3 billion in federal and state welfare payments to them. After receiving a blessing from the Supreme Court Friday [2/21/2020], the "Public Charge Grounds Final Rule" kicked in nationally, essentially forcing immigrants to prove that they won't become a burden on taxpayers. Under the rule, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services "will look at the factors required under the law by Congress, like an alien's age, health, income, education, and skills, among others, in order to determine whether the alien is likely at any time to become a public charge," said an official. Supreme Court ruling: Government can deny green cards to those on public assistance. The Trump administration has tightened its grip on immigration policy in the U.S. This week, the Supreme Court ruled five to four to expand the "public charge" rule across the entire country. The decision will allow all 50 states to deny green cards to any non-citizen who the government believes will rely on public assistance. Trump's 'Public Charge' Immigration Rule Upheld by Supreme Court. Donald Trump's rule changes the so-called "public charge" rule that withholds green cards from immigrants dependent on government services. Federal immigration law says that immigrants desiring permanent legal status can be denied if they are likely to become a "public charge." Previously the government defined "public charge" as anyone receiving cash benefits. Those getting food stamps or housing assistance were exempt. The rule change means that green cards will only go to those who are free of dependency on government. New York and Illinois sued the administration over the change and federal judges issued injunctions preventing the rule from being enacted. In January, the Supreme Court lifted the New York injunction and on Friday, the court lifted the Illinois order. 375,000 Apprehended Illegal Aliens Released Into U.S. Interior. Starting last March, departing from its usual procedure, the Border Patrol released 145,000 people directly from its custody rather than turning them over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The other 230,000 were transferred to ICE and released from ICE facilities. The 145,000 family members released by the Border Patrol who were not transferred to ICE were released with a legal document known as a "notice to appear," which states when they should show up for a hearing to determine if they will be returned to their county of origin. A large number of those issued such a notice fail to show up for the hearings. This, essentially, is a continuation of the "catch and release" policy, where illegal border crossers were given such a notice and released instead of being detained and processed for deportation. President Trump has promised to end the "catch and release" policy practiced by the Obama administration, but these latest statistics from the Border Patrol indicate this change has not yet been implemented. Warren: Everyone Here Illegally Must Be Able to Secure American Citizenship. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) says "everyone who is here" illegally must have a path to obtaining American citizenship — a policy that would eventually give voting rights to the 11 to 22 million illegal aliens in the United States. During a town hall at the Domestic Workers Forum in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Tuesday, Warren reiterated her plan to make sure all illegal aliens are able to obtain American citizenship and thus, eventually, voting rights. Mexican migrants sent record $36B in remittances in 2019. Instability in Mexico and Latin America drove a wave of migrant workers to send a record amount of remittances to their home countries in 2019. Mexico's Central Bank reported that Mexican migrants working overseas sent home a record-high $36 billion in remittances in 2019, a 7 percent increase from 2018. According to a study from the Inter-American Dialogue, between 2016 and 2017, remittances to Mexico increased by 12 percent, a sharp rise from previous years. Buttigieg plans to flood small American towns with immigrants. On the same day we learn that an al-Qaeda operative is living in our midst, some reassuring news comes from the campaign of Democrat Pete Buttigieg. Appearing at a campaign stop in New Hampshire, Mayor Pete touted his "Community Renewal Visas," which will effectively flood American towns with immigrants. "I'm proposing ... that when a community that is very much in need of growing its population, recognizes that, and makes a choice to welcome more than its share of new Americans," Buttigieg said, "that we create a fast-track, if they apply for an allotment of visas." Experts, GOP React To Democratic 'New Way Forward' Bill. Immigration experts and House Republicans are balking at the New Way Forward Act, a Democratic bill that is being described as an embrace of "open borders" and likely to be the most "radical" legislation ever introduced in history. Democratic Illinois Rep. Jesús Garc'a, along with several other progressive House members, introduced the New Way Forward Act in December 2019, to seemingly little fanfare. The bill, among many things, calls for the decriminalization of illegal immigration, would make it more difficult to deport convicted criminal aliens, empower immigration judges to nullify deportation orders, and also calls for the return of previously deported illegal aliens. Not to be considered a fringe bill that is attracting scant support, the New Way Forward Act has so far garnered 43 co-sponsors since it was rolled out late in 2019. Democrats Hate What Trump Is Highlighting about Them. In a country where we are already borrowing at an obscenely unsustainable rate, the idea of committing to "free" health care for noncitizens is the very definition of asinine. Yet the Democrats fell over each other to box themselves into this corner during the earlier debates. There is now a fundamental divide between Republicans and Democrats, best viewed as pro-American and anti-American. One side views America as the greatest sovereign nation in the world, a beacon of liberty and freedom. The other side views it as an abomination, a patriarchal, colonial, and racist toxic brew that can be remedied only through apology tours, elevating foreigners over Americans, and having no borders. Thanks to academia's influence, that message now reverberates beyond university faculty lounges. In the Democrat-dominated suburbs in Northern Virginia, there is barely an American flag in sight. ACLU Sues ICE Over Raid in Texas that Arrested Hundreds of Illegals. The far-left American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit against the federal government in response to a raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement near Dallas, as ABC reports. The lawsuit was filed after ICE allegedly refused to release the search warrants that authorized the raid, which took place in April in the city of Allen, about 15 miles outside of Dallas. The raid resulted in the arrest of 280 illegal aliens who were working at an electronics repair plant owned by CVE Technology Group. As a result, the ACLU claimed that ICE's refusal to hand over the warrants constituted a violation of the Freedom of Information Act. ICE arrests 115 immigrants during 5-day N.J. sweep, including man wanted for murder in Brazil. Federal authorities arrested 115 people in the United States illegally from 23 different countries — including one man wanted for murder — during a five-day sweep in New Jersey that ended Saturday [2/1/2020]. In Newark, ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations took into custody a 53-year-old Brazilian national wanted in that country for homicide, U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement said Tuesday in announcing the arrests. An ICE spokesman on Wednesday did not immediately have further details on the charges or the name of the suspect. Trump's Global Entry suspension in New York is another slap at Blue State elites. Maybe you think taking swipes at the rich in the name of "spreading the pain" is the sole dominion of politicians like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, or just the Democratic Party. But meet your new "punish the rich" crusader: President Donald J. Trump. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Thursday [2/6/2020] announced the suspension of most of the "trusted traveler" programs, including Global Entry, for New York state residents. That means the Trump administration is moving airport travel hell up the economic food chain. The Trump team's reported reasoning is simple: Since New York state's sanctuary laws for undocumented immigrants limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security had to suspend the program for New Yorkers. Department of Homeland Security suspends Global Entry program for New Yorkers. The Department of Homeland Security announced the suspension of renewals and enrollments for Global Entry and other Trusted Travel Programs for New York residents. Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Wednesday that the move was a response to the state's "Green Light Law" supporting undocumented immigrants. "Today, we sent a letter to New York indicating, because they took these measures, that New York residents are no longer eligible to enroll in these Trusted Traveler Programs," Wolf said. Other programs suspended by DHS include NEXUS, SENTRI and FAST. They have millions of members and allow them to bypass long Customs and Border Protection lines. Super Majority of Mexicans Support AMLO Blocking Migrant Caravans. While liberal activists derisively accused him of building and paying for "Trump's wall" by putting Mexican troops on the border with Guatemala to interdict migrant caravans, a new poll shows a sharp increase of support so that now a super majority of Mexicans are in favor of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (nicknamed AMLO) in his efforts to secure Mexico's southern border. AMLO sent National Guard forces to the border last month to stop caravans from crossing through Mexico to the United States and deport them to their home countries. Why the Left Really Wants to Kill America. Why has the modern Democratic Party worked so diligently to erode patriotism? Because love of country is a major impediment to convincing voters to support what they really want, which is yielding their nation's sovereignty to an international governing body, ultimately the United Nations. With patriotism marginalized, a society's populace can more easily be led to no longer see themselves as citizens of their country, but as "citizens of the world." (In his July 2008 speech in Berlin, progressive presidential candidate Barack Obama told an adoring crowd of 200,000 cheering Europeans, "I come to you as a Citizen of the World.") In Europe, the long-standing national identity of every progressive-run nation is already being intentionally erased, and it stands as a sort of bellwether of things to come over here. Government-encouraged mass migration is its instrument, and the same thing is being attempted in America by the modern Democratic Party. House Democrat 'disturbed' by courthouse arrest of illegal immigrant with multiple theft convictions. Rep. Vicente Gonzalez was "disturbed to learn" that an illegal immigrant with multiple theft convictions had been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. The Texas Democrat suggested that the arrest of Ericka Gonzalez Zuniga, a Mexican national living in the United States illegally, should not have taken place in a courthouse but did acknowledge that it was a lawful arrest. "I was disturbed to learn that ICE arrested Ericka Gonzalez Zuniga at the Hidalgo County Courthouse yesterday," the congressman said in a public statement on Friday [1/31/2020]. "While lawful, this lacked forethought, incites fear in our community, and may have a detrimental impact on our local justice system." Mexico deports over 2,000 caravan migrants back to Honduras. The Mexican government announced it has so far deported more than 2,000 members of the latest migrant caravan, demonstrating the seriousness of the country's newfound enforcement of illegal immigration. Mexico deported roughly 2,303 Honduran migrants between Jan. 18 and Jan. 27, the National Migration Institute — the department in Mexico that manages immigration — reported Monday. The Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington, D.C.,-based immigration think tank, translated and flagged the recent numbers. The deportations pertained to the most recent U.S.-bound migrant caravan. The National Migration Institute and the Mexican National Guard commissioned eight chartered planes and 34 buses to remove the members of the migrant caravan. Supreme Court Allows President Trump to Enforce "Public Charge" Rule For Immigration. Today [1/27/2020] the Supreme Court granted the Trump administration's request to continue enforcement of the "public charge" rule on immigration. The SCOTUS decision allows the government to enforce a provision of federal immigration law banning non-citizens from receiving a green card if the government believes the applicant is likely to become a "public charge" — or reliant on government assistance. Supreme Court Allows Trump To Enforce Rule Barring Green Cards For Migrants Using Social Services. The Supreme Court Monday [1/27/2020] allowed the Trump administration to enforce a new rule that will deny green cards to foreign nationals who use taxpayer-funded social services, lifting lower court injunctions that blocked the change. The 5-4 vote followed familiar ideological lines, with Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan in dissent. The justices did not give reasons for lifting the injunctions — as is typical of orders of this nature — though Justice Neil Gorsuch released a concurring opinion urging the Supreme Court to curtail the use nationwide injunctions, which Justice Clarence Thomas joined. Democrat Caught on Video Teaching Illegals How to Vote. Is this how liberals will swing the election in their favor in 2020? This video is from the swing state of Arizona, which could decide the next election! Caravan in Mexico broken up by national guardsmen, immigration agents. Mexican security forces and immigration agents put hundreds of Central Americans who crossed into the country early Thursday [1/23/2020] on buses to be processed and possibly sent back to their home countries amid a wave of migrants passing through in an effort to reach the United States. The national guardsmen, dressed in riot gear, advanced on migrants who were stopped at a crossroads, prompting the migrants to kneel and chant "we want to pass." Authorities awaited the caravan outside the community of Frontera Hidalgo, near Ciudad Hidalgo, where the migrants had crossed the Suchiate River at dawn. Mexico begins deporting migrants who rushed the border Monday. Yesterday [1/20/2020] a caravan of roughly 2,500 migrants stopped trying to cross Mexico's southern border by bridge and instead waded across the river and attempted to get past a line of Mexican National Guardsmen waiting on the other side. That led to some rock-throwing by both sides but hundreds of migrants wound up being taken into custody by the Mexican authorities. Today, those migrants are already being deported by bus and by plane. Congressional Inaction and Hypocrisy on Illegal Immigration. House Democrats announced this week that they are launching an investigation into the Trump Administration's Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program, known colloquially as the "Remain in Mexico" policy. It's the latest attempt by Democrats to undo the Trump Administration's aggressive — and, so far, successful — policies to reduce illegal migration at the southern border. Mexico blocks 2,500 migrants from crossing at Guatemala entry point, authorities say. Mexican officials on Saturday closed a section of their border with Guatemala following a push by thousands of migrants to make their way across a bridge over the Suchiate River between the two countries. About 2,500 migrants of all ages were held up and prevented from crossing or entering the bridge at Mexico's southern border by Mexican National Guardsmen, Guatemalan authorities estimated, according to The Associated Press. Honduran migrants clash with Mexican troops blocking the 2,500-strong US-bound caravan on a bridge at Guatemalan border. Migrants clashed with Mexican troops on a bridge at the Guatemalan border on Saturday, as hundreds of guards also lined the banks of the river to prevent further crossings there. Thousands of Central American migrants tried to push their way across a bridge spanning the Suchiate River between Mexico and Guatemala. Honduran migrants waved their country's flag and sang the national anthem as they approached the bridge. At the height of the confrontation, Guatemalan authorities estimated 2,500 migrants were on the bridge, or attempting to get on it. Mexico Offers 4K Jobs to Honduran Caravan Migrants. The government of Mexico is offering about 4,000 jobs to caravan migrants from Honduras who are currently attempting to make their way through Guatemala. "There is a way for them to have work. My ideal is full employment — work for everyone... and the right to work guaranteed," Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said in a Friday press conference reported on by the Anadolu Agency. The Editor says... Everyone Is Wrong on Skilled Immigration. Liberal activists want to take in as many immigrants as they can. You don't have to be a cynic to see the political angle of this policy. An influx of new immigrants has already turned California from a decidedly red state to a strongly blue state. There is evidence that a similar transition may now be underway in Texas. In recent years, the permissiveness on immigration has advanced from advocating more legal immigration to openly favoring illegal immigration. We are now at a point where the majority of Democrats running for president raised their hands in favor of completely decriminalizing illegal border crossings. Trump administration starts returning migrants deep into Mexico to combat border crisis. The Trump administration has started returning Mexican migrants deep into the country's interior as part of an expanding effort to deter illegal immigration and combat the ongoing crisis at the border. The Department of Homeland Security started running flights from Tucson, Ariz., to Guadalajara in December. Officials say the migrants being returned are all Mexican nationals from non-border Mexican states who typically have either recently illegally entered the U.S., or who had gone through the court system but were ruled to be deportable by an immigration judge. Democrats Have Become a Disfigured Reflection of the Party They Once Were. [Scroll down] We see in their contempt for federal marijuana laws, the institution of sanctuary cities, and their hostility to border enforcement a deranged lack of perspective regarding the health of our citizens, many of whom are struggling with or dying from drug usage. The opioid epidemic we face is clearly connected to the opioid supply, and that, in turn, is clearly a border issue. Yet they put aside the well-being of so many poor souls caught by the hook of addiction into ignoring border enforcement in order to score political hate points against the president. Instead of looking at border issues in terms of law and national health, they turn enforcement into an ugly, defamatory argument about American and Trumpian racism. Only 14 years ago, they were able to agree with Republicans on the need for stronger border enforcement, whereas now they try to block every Trump attempt — mandated by the American people — to bring order out of chaos on our southern border. Political correctness with the force of law: Trump administration cannot enforce 'public charge' rule. In a brief ruling, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an October ruling from Manhattan federal court Judge George Daniels, who blocked the enforcement of the so-called "public charge" rule in a scathing opinion that called the policy "repugnant to the American Dream." The "public charge" rule, unveiled last year, would make it easier for the government to deny proper paperwork to immigrants who may require government assistance such as Medicaid or food stamps. The Wednesday [1/8/2020] decision also upheld a nationwide injunction — meaning the policy cannot be enforced anywhere. The Editor says... Trump Is Quietly Winning Bigly At The Border. Last week, 18 people crossed the border illegally into Arizona hoping they could exploit a loophole in U.S. asylum policy to stay in the country. Instead, they found themselves shipped back to Mexico while their asylum claims are reviewed. In the midst of impeachment mania and the killing of an Iranian general, this event captured little attention. But it's part of a broader campaign that the Trump administration has quietly embarked upon to crack down on illegal border crossings. And — even without the wall — these policies are having a huge impact. Donald Trump's Immigration Judges Boost Deportation Numbers. President Donald Trump's new immigration judges are far more likely to reject migrants' requests for asylum than are the judges prior presidents picked. Four Trump immigration judges in Memphis, Tennessee, denied more than 90 percent of claims from migrants, while the prior judges granted roughly half of the requests, according to a study by immigration lawyer Lily Axelrod. Trump's offer Mexico could not refuse. Amid all the stories about President Donald John Trump's triumphs in 2019 — exoneration from Mueller, 3.5% unemployment, killing al-Baghdadi, and a 33% rise in my 401-k — having Mexico protect our border is way down on the list. Let me raise its profile because President Trump did the nearly impossible by getting Mexico to patrol our border. And he topped that by getting Mexico to keep people seeking asylum there until their cases are adjudicated. Trump's Biggest Wins Of 2019. Trump has implemented a number of new immigration policies since taking office to try to combat the national security and humanitarian crisis on the southern border, but arguably the most successful in the administration's perspective has been the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program, also known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy. Turns Out, Trump's 'Evil' ICE Raids Benefited American Workers. Remember when Democrats reflexively accused President Donald Trump of being a racist when he said illegal immigrants steal American jobs? Turns out, he was right, as evidenced by the aftermath of the massive summer raid that rounded up hundreds of illegals working at chicken processing plants in Mississippi. In early August, some 600 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents surrounded seven plants operated by five companies in six different cities. They rounded up 680 "undocumented" immigrants, in what was described as the largest raid in a single state. This is part of a larger effort by Trump to target companies that knowingly hire illegal immigrants. Topics We Aren't Allowed to Talk About. [A]cknowledging that not every illegal immigrant improves America raises uncomfortable questions. If illegal immigration has a downside, then why has Washington allowed so much of it? If the people in charge actually cared, they would have tried harder to protect our borders. But Washington, for decades, has let millions of foreigners with no screening come across the border to use our services, often lower wages and in some cases, commit crimes. That is all true, which by definition made it unacceptable to say. The news anchors pretended that by saying it, Trump was somehow attacking defenseless Mexicans. Actually, he was attacking the gatekeepers in our national media. The people who should have been sounding the alarm about all of this, but instead made common cause with the ruling class they were supposed to be covering. Our system is rotten and corrupt, and the news media are a major reason for why that is. Mass Migration Could Give Urbanized Blue States a Disproportionate Electoral Advantage. Trump was able to win competitive states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin — all states that are projected to lose one seat, according to the CIS study. Shockingly, Ohio will lose three more seats thanks to these redistricting changes. On the other hand, Florida would gain three additional seats while New Jersey would add two and Illinois and Massachusetts would add another seat. "Apportionment is a zero-sum system; by adding more population to some states rather than others, immigration will continue to significantly redistribute political power in Washington," the study argues. Illegal immigrants and their American-born children will cause pivotal swing states to lose seats. LBJ-era immigration changes skewed political power toward Dems, away from GOP: study. U.S. legal and illegal immigration levels will create a markedly different House of Representatives — and post-2020 electoral college votes — than would have existed otherwise, a new study claims. The study, conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), claims to offer insight into how immigration reforms during the era of Democratic President Lyndon Johnson affected the distribution of American political power. "Our findings indicate that, over time, immigration profoundly redistributes political power at the federal level by changing the apportionment of House seats and votes in the Electoral College," the study's authors wrote. Pete Buttigieg doesn't have a plan on immigration. He has a welcome mat. Current immigration policy is muddied at best , functioning as half border protection, half charity for the world's poor. Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg proposes to erase that ambiguity and just make it 100% charity. The mayor of South Bend, Indiana, released his immigration policy proposals on Sunday. There's essentially no difference between them and what the rest of the 2020 Democratic field has been saying, which is to say, he is for free healthcare for illegal immigrants and essentially no enforcement at the border. Buttigieg's proposal also contains no real policy. It's nothing more than a group of goals for increasing the number of immigrants in the United States and giving them all welfare because, well, isn't that what we do now? We give away stuff to every poor and sick person who shows up at the border. Jill Biden Hands Out Christmas Gifts at Mexico Border Camp. Former second lady Dr. Jill Biden, whose husband, former vice president Joe Biden, is running for the 2020 Democrat nomination, handed out tamales and Christmas gifts to migrants in Mexico as part of a visit with local leaders on Sunday [12/22/2019]. Biden toured a migrant camp across the border from Brownsville, Texas, home to over 2,000 asylum-seekers. The Editor says... Trump admin begins dropping deported Mexicans farther from border, making reentry harder. The U.S. has begun deporting Mexican nationals deep into the interior of their country, making illegal reentry that much more difficult — and immigration enforcement officials have not ruled out deporting them as far as Guatemala. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the government of Mexico announced the relaunch of the Interior Repatriation Initiative Thursday. Under the auspices of the agreement, ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations will fly Mexican nationals hundreds of miles within Mexican territory, in lieu of simply repatriating them a few miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. The Editor says... Study: Immigration to Redistribute 26 Congressional Seats to Blue States for 2022 Election. The nation's illegal and legal immigration system will help shift 26 congressional seats, primarily from red states, and redistribute them to mostly blue states next year, according to new analysis. Every year, the United States imports about 1.2 million legal immigrants who largely arrive to reunite with foreign relatives already in the country. This level of annual legal immigration is in addition to the hundreds of thousands of foreign workers who arrive on work visas every year and nearly a million illegal aliens who successfully enter the U.S. Lack of Assimilation Is Economically Harming Latino Immigrants And Society. Early in 2019, a firestorm of criticism descended upon veteran journalist Tom Brokaw because he said on NBC's Meet the Press that Hispanics "should work harder at assimilation" and shouldn't isolate themselves "in their communities." NBC condemned his comments as "inaccurate and inappropriate," media outlets ran articles and editorials calling them racist and factually wrong, and Brokaw apologized. Contrary to the blowback against Brokaw, scholarly sources show that modern Latino immigrants are not assimilating like previous generations of immigrants. Furthermore, this is having negative economic impacts on them and the nation at large. These facts have nothing to do with race and everything to do with factors that can foster or impede economic prosperity. Least-Educated State: 2,471,189 California Residents 25 and Older Never Completed 9th Grade; Highest Percentage in Nation. California once again ranked No. 1 among the 50 states for the percentage of its residents 25 and older who have never completed ninth grade and 50th for the percentage who have at least graduated from high school, according to new five-year estimates (2014-2018) released Thursday by the Census Bureau's American Community Survey. California, as CNSNews.com reported last year, also ranked No. 1 for the percentage who never completed ninth grade and No. 50 for the percentage who had graduated from high school in the five-year estimates (2013-2017) the Census Bureau released in December 2018. In California, according to the new five-year estimate, 2,471,189 residents 25 and older had never completed ninth grade. The Editor says... This Time It Is Personal — for Us. We despise the Left's obsession with Colin Kaepernick and the troglodytic multi-millionaire ingrate lemmings like him. No Nike athletic shoes or outdoor jackets in our homes and no more NFL football on our TV. We strongly and enthusiastically support building the Wall. Why should we not be enthusiastic about sealing off a porous border (i) that allows the smuggling of deadly drugs including opioids that murder tens of thousands annually, (ii) that fails to keep out animals like MS-13, and (iii) that facilitates and even invites the most vile human trafficking in women and children for unspeakable perversions and quasi-enslavement? We virulently oppose the Democrats' cynical effort to import millions of illegal immigrants so that, having failed for generations to persuade the majority of self-sufficient Americans who live here legally and know the score, they instead seek to change vote outcomes by importing millions whom they know will rely on Democrat welfare programs. That was their formula in New Mexico and then in flipping California from the Golden State of John Wayne and Reagan to the Homeless State of Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff. Ilhan Omar at Sanders Rally: 'We Need to Abolish ICE' and 'We Should All Be Proud to Be Radicals'. Speaking at a campaign event for Senator Bernie Sanders, Rep. Ilhan Omar said that the United States can't claim to stand up for human rights around the world while "violating human rights at our border." [...] On Twitter, the congresswoman from Minnesota went even further. "We need to abolish ICE," she said about the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, "create pathways to citizenship, and welcome refugees with open arms." The Editor says...
America's illegal alien population is three times Europe's. American conservatives are concerned that we are a step or two behind Europe in committing open-borders suicide. But if you actually look at the numbers, in many respects America is blazing the trail to destruction much more swiftly than Europe. A recent Pew Research report estimated the entire illegal immigrant population of Europe is 3.9-4.8 million. That is for an entire continent of 747 million people. The U.S. is less than half the size, yet the estimates of the illegal alien population range from 11 million to as high as 22 million. Pew, as well as other left-leaning groups, likes to say there were only 12 million illegal aliens last decade and that the number has actually gone down in recent years. But the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) notes how they rely on census data that has traditionally undercounted illegal aliens by 15-35 percent. Moreover, given the massive influx of Central Americans in recent years, it is laughable how some of these organization can say that the numbers haven't moved. ICE's docket of non-detained aliens targeted for removal alone has grown by roughly one million since 2017, while the immigration court backlog has grown nearly tenfold over the decade. 2020 census: Surge in immigrants to take 24 House seats from Trump states. The 10-year surge in illegal and legal immigration has exploded the populations of mostly Democratic states enough that the 2020 census is likely to result in the redistribution of 24 House seats in states President Trump won, according to a new population analysis released Thursday morning [12/19/2019]. The prediction from the Center for Immigration Studies said that 26 seats overall will shift due to immigration increases since the last census was taken. And it said that a minimum of 19 of those seats will be added to Democratic states. Brazilians arrive in waves at the US-Mexico border. The quiet migration of around 17,000 Brazilians through a single U.S. city in the past year reveals a new frontier in the Trump administration's effort to shut down the legal immigration pathway for people claiming fear of persecution. County may become first in U.S. to bar new refugees. If they vote to bar refugees, as expected, Burleigh County — home to about 95,000 people and the capital city of Bismarck — could become the first local government to do so since President Donald Trump issued an executive order making it possible. The county postponed a vote last week when more than 100 people showed up and overflowed the commission's normal meeting space. Monday night's meeting will be held in a middle school cafeteria to accommodate public interest that Chairman Brian Bitner said is the most intense he's seen in more than a decade on the commission. Border apprehensions dropped in November for the 6th consecutive month, per DHS data. Law enforcement apprehended or turned away 42,649 migrants at the southern border in November, according to preliminary data reviewed by Fox News — a sixth month of declines that the administration is hailing as proof that the set of policies and initiatives to combat the border crisis is working. The numbers (33,510 apprehended and 9,139 deemed inadmissible) represented a decline of roughly six percent since October, and a drop of over 70 percent since the height of the crisis in May, when more than 144,000 migrants were encountered. No One Crosses River Without Payments to Mexican Cartels, Says Texas Border Sector Asst. Chief. Del Rio Sector Assistant Chief Patrol Agent Brady Waikel told Breitbart News that "nothing crosses the river in this area without a payment being made" to Mexican cartels. His comments came during a recent roundtable discussion between Del Rio Sector leadership and Breitbart. Kobach: Democrats Now 'Say Out Loud' Intent to Turn America Blue by Immigration. Former Kansas Secretary of State and United States Senate candidate Kris Kobach says the political left is now quite honest about their longheld intent to turn the nation blue through mass legal immigration. During an exclusive interview with host Alex Marlow [...], Kobach said in the past Democrats would only talk behind closed doors about their efforts to transform the nation state-by-state through immigration, but that today they are honest about the plan. Mexico bristles at U.S. cartel plan, insists it's doing its part. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Friday that his government was committed to fighting organized crime, seeking to dispel fears that the United States could take matters in its own hands in the fight against drug cartels. As Trump administration confronts migrant crisis, detention centers are clearing out. As the migrant crisis at the southern border hit its peak over the summer, media outlets were filled with stories of overcrowded detention centers, adults and children living in squalid conditions, and overworked and exhausted border agents. But now, the situation on the ground has changed significantly. Amid a series of sweeping actions from the Trump administration — including the expansion of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) that return migrants to Mexico to await their immigration hearings, increased cooperation with countries south of the border like Guatemala, and new border wall — apprehensions have declined dramatically by more than 70 percent since May. DHS Deputy Says 'About 60,000' Migrants Have Been Sent Back Under Remain In Mexico Program. Ken Cuccinelli, the acting deputy secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, lauded the Trump administration's Remain in Mexico program, which has sent tens of thousands of asylum seekers back across the southern border to wait. Cuccinelli appeared Sunday [11/24/2019] on "Fox & Friends" to discuss the White House's efforts to manage the illegal immigration crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, including its recent order to relocate National Park rangers to the area to help Border Patrol rangers and its success with the Remain in Mexico program. "Well, first of all, the Department of Interior owns an enormous portion of the border. I want to say as high as 40% of the border is in Department of Interior land, so there's a logic to bringing Department of Interior law enforcement down to the border," Cuccinelli said Sunday. New York Green-Light Law Creates Serious and Unprecedented Hurdles for Immigration Enforcement. New York State has followed the lead of several other states to diminish the amount of documentary evidence needed to secure a driver's license in that state. On June 17, 2019, Governor Cuomo signed the Driver's License Access and Privacy Act, commonly known as the "Green-Light law". Ostensibly, the N.Y. Green-Light law provides a way for certain residents of New York, primarily illegal aliens, to obtain valid N.Y. driver's licenses. This report will detail how this access to valid identification will shield illegal aliens from detection. In addition, this report will focus on the public safety danger this law presents, as it will be used by criminals to obtain valid documents for fictitious identities and for other forms of identity theft. The vast majority of these new driver's licenses will be based on a document issued by any number of foreign governments. The information in this document, the consular identification document (CID or consular ID), cannot be verified by any U.S. entity. The Most Important News Story Right Now Isn't Impeachment, It's The Crisis In Mexico. Two important and interrelated news stories largely passed under the radar Wednesday as the House impeachment hearings continued to dominate the headlines. Both stories concern the deteriorating state of affairs in Mexico and have huge implications for immigration, the southwest border, and U.S. national security. It's a shame more Americans aren't paying attention. The first was a report from BuzzFeed that as of Wednesday [11/20/2019] the Trump administration began carrying out a controversial plan to deport asylum-seekers from El Salvador and Honduras — not to their home countries, but to Guatemala, which the administration has designated a "safe third country," meaning that migrants from those countries must first apply for asylum in Guatemala before seeking asylum in the United States. Tough Trump asylum policy prompts migrants to enter US and then flee to Canada. An unlined, single-lane road in rural upstate New York that dead-ends just feet from the northern border is at the center of an unusual international immigration phenomenon — people escaping the United States for Canada. Approximately 50,000 people have used Roxham Road to walk into Canada over the past three years. Roxham Road is one of dozens in Clinton County alone that run directly into the border, but this one is where more than 90% of all illegal crossings into Canada along the 4,000-mile-long border from Washington state to Maine have taken place since 2016. Trump administration plans rule to send illegal immigrants back to home country. The Trump administration is planning to publish a rule that would allow the government to send illegal immigrants who did not apply for asylum back to Central America. The rule, which will be published on the federal registry on Tuesday, stems from Asylum Cooperative Agreements with Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras that were made this summer. Former acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan helped broker the deals. Under the agreements, these countries are required to stop any illegal immigrants attempting to come to the U.S. If one of the countries fails to stop an illegal immigrant coming through, the U.S. is allowed to send immigrants to the country through which they immigrated. Many migrants stuck in lawless Mexican border state after trying to enter US. The United States has warned its citizens to stay away from the lawless border state of Tamaulipas, assigning the area in Mexico the same alert level given to war-torn countries such as Afghanistan and Syria. It's here where many migrants who made it to the United States to ask for asylum have been kept in limbo. Tamaulipas is both the location of most illegal crossings and the state where the United States has returned the most asylum seekers — 20,700 as of early October. Migrants have remained there at the crossroads of Tamaulipas for weeks and sometimes months awaiting their U.S. court dates. 'Climate migrants,' the left's tool to pry borders wide. "Climate migrants" are defined as those individuals in the world who've suffered some sort of weather-related disaster and are, therefore, in the eyes of the left, in the minds of radicals like Sen. Bernie Sanders, are worthy of automatic entry into the United States. [...] It's environmentalism at its most radical. "As president, Bernie will ... create a new program to welcome migrants displaced by climate change, and set a floor of accepting at least 50,000 climate migrants in his first year in office," his plan states. Forest fires in Indonesia? Come to the United States. Mudslides in Sierra Leone? Come on in. Droughts in Ethiopia? Just look at the possibilities. "Drought in Africa leaves 45 million in need across 14 countries," The New Humanitarian reported in June. The Editor says... Michael Savage Predicts Decades of Darkness' Even if Trump Wins 2nd Term. "No, I'm pessimistic," [Michael] Savage [...] said when asked if he is hopeful for the country's future. "I think Donald Trump, even if he wins a second term, it is the last gasp of America as we know it. I think we're going to enter years and years, if not decades of darkness." Savage pointed to the continuous flow of illegal immigration from South America into the U.S. as the chief source of his melancholy assessment. Justices Should Reject Criminal Alien's Appeal of Deportation Order. Under federal immigration law, a permanent resident alien who is here legally is "removable" if he is "inadmissible." That is to say, he should never have been admitted in the first place because he met one of the factors listed in the statute (8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)), such as posing "a threat to the property, safety, or welfare of the alien or others." A permanent resident alien is also removable if he is "deportable" under another statute (8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)), which lists a series of disqualifying offenses, including violations of any "law of the United States." The attorney general has the discretion to cancel the removal of such an alien, but to be eligible for such cancellation, the alien has to show not only that he is statutorily eligible for such relief from the attorney general, but that he also deserves such favorable treatment. The Bonfire of the Democrats. Policies favored by Democrats in Congress or running for office: [...] [#2] Immigration. It is obvious that the Dems do not want to see immigration controlled. They see unlimited Latino immigration as a source of unlimited new votes that they think will go their way, especially in states where illegal voting can be made easy by state policies involving easy registration. California is a prime example. There is a reason why California refused to participate in a national audit of voting after 2016. Democrat hostility to border and immigration security police is recognized by the Deplorables as intended to create Open Borders. The Deplorables do not want to become a cultural minority in the country their ancestors built. Newsom runs up against US Justice Department rules in pardoning immigrants. Attorney General William Barr is trying to deport some legal immigrants who were convicted of crimes many years ago. Gov. Gavin Newsom is trying to spare some of the same immigrants from deportation by pardoning them. It's shaping up as another round in the Trump administration vs. California. The immigrants are legal U.S. residents who, because they have not become citizens, face potential deportation for past crimes that were punishable by sentences of a year or more. Barr, overturning long-standing decisions by immigration courts, declared last month that migrants convicted of long-ago crimes could be deported even when their home states had retroactively reduced or erased their sentences. Growing numbers of Mexicans flying to Canada and sneaking across the northern border. Mexican citizens are increasingly being arrested for illegally entering the United States from Canada, and the majority are going through a specific part of Vermont and northeastern New York, according to federal law enforcement officials. In the area, known as the Swanton Sector, 822 people during the 2019 fiscal year were stopped while traversing fields and forests between official crossing points, more than the total, 758, arrested for crossing in all seven other regions on the Canadian border. Mexicans and Romanians make up 565 of the 822 known illegal entrants. Trump's unheralded border success. The reason you don't see breathless hyperbole about "children in cages" dominating news cycles anymore is because between May and August, border officials report a sharp decrease in migrants attempting to cross the US border, with apprehensions falling by 62% and total enforcement actions dropping by 70%. In September, there were some 40,000 arrests, the lowest month this fiscal year and down from nearly 133,000 apprehensions in May. The reason? Determination and sustained pressure by the Trump administration — including, yes, threats of tariffs — to convince the government of Mexican President Andrés Manuel López-Obrador to do its part to stop the flow of migrants, mostly from Central America traversing Mexican territory. No harm? Most illegals in Mississippi ICE raids stole Americans' identities. Most of the 680 illegal immigrants nabbed in August's immigration raids at poultry plants in Mississippi worked under stolen American identities, the Department of Homeland Security's top investigator told Congress Thursday, rebuffing Democrats who insisted the "undocumented" workers were doing no harm. "They stole the IDs of 400 U.S. citizens," said Jere Miles, who leads Homeland Security Investigations' New Orleans office. "Where's their voice?" Mr. Miles was defending the Aug. 7 operations against seven processing plants as both a success and a deterrent to future illegal immigrants, battling with Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee who called a field hearing in Mississippi to criticize the raids. Thousands of migrants sent back to Mexico under Trump policy have given up their asylum claims: DHS. Thousands of migrants returned to Mexico under the Trump administration's "Remain in Mexico" policy have given up their asylum claims, with many of them returning home, according to statistics included in a new assessment of the policy released this week by the Department of Homeland Security. The policy, known formally as the Migrant Protection Protocols, sends migrants seeking asylum at the southern border back to Mexico for the duration of immigration proceedings. It is a cornerstone of the administration's efforts to end "catch and release," by which migrants are released into the U.S. while their cases are heard. NY Times: Refugees Needed to Fill 'Void of Cultural Diversity' in White Towns. More refugees must be resettled across the United States to fill a "void of cultural diversity" in towns that are made up of a majority of white Americans, a New York Times report states. As President Trump is set to lower refugee admissions for the third year, keeping his 2016 campaign promise to significantly reform the program after almost four decades, the New York Times published a report this week detailing how Congolese refugees already living in the U.S. are looking to bring their foreign relatives to the country through the refugee resettlement program. The Editor says... Stapling Green Cards to Diplomas Is Stupid and Suicidal. I was flabbergasted to hear Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk telling students at a university campus lecture last week that "We should staple a green card behind your diploma." He repeated this nonsense at Ohio State University during a "Culture War" tour stop this week, asserting that any foreign national who graduates from any "four-year college" should get a green card if any "American employer" needs to fill a job. "I don't think it makes sense to export that person to go back to Korea or, you know, Sudan or whatever," Kirk argues, because it "doesn't make logical sense" to "export intellectual investment that we made within our own university." Is California Becoming Premodern? Californians know that to venture into a typical municipal emergency room is to descend into a modern Dante's Inferno. Medical facilities are overcrowded. They can be as unpleasant as they are bankrupting to the vanishing middle class that must face exorbitant charges to bring in an injured or sick child. No one would dare to connect the crumbling infrastructure, poor schools and failing public health care with the non-enforcement of immigration laws, which has led to a massive influx of undocumented immigrants from the poorest regions of the world, who often arrive without fluency in English or a high-school education. DHS cuts welfare test for immigration fee waivers. The Department of Homeland Security's citizenship agency announced Friday it is streamlining the way migrants can apply for a discount on their immigration fees, saying that the old method unfairly gave an advantage to people living in some states. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will no longer accept a migrant's use of a state welfare program as evidence someone is poor enough to qualify for a fee waiver, because the states vary too widely in their eligibility. Instead, applicants will have to prove their incomes are less than 150% of the federal poverty level or they'll have to make a convincing argument that they are a hardship case. Even Alaskans Suffer From Dems' Failed Border Policies. With Juneau located some 2,000 miles from California's San Ysidro border crossing, one would be mistaken for believing that Alaskans are immune to our nation's illegal immigration crisis. The Obama administration's lax enforcement policies precipitated dramatic increases in heroin deaths as well as a weighty financial burden on Alaska's taxpayers. Now, as the current administration and congressional Republicans work to undo these misguided decisions, a new crop of Democratic presidential candidates have irresponsibly promised to open our borders should they reclaim the White House. Manufacturing Executives Charged with Knowingly Hiring Illegal Aliens. Four executives at an Illinois manufacturing plant have been charged with knowingly hiring illegal aliens, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency reveals. According to ICE officials, four executives at the sheet metal KSO MetalFab Inc. manufacturing plant in Streamwood, Illinois — a suburb of Chicago — have been charged with one count each of knowingly harboring illegal aliens and one count each of knowingly hiring illegal aliens. Democrats' 'Immigrants First' Policy. President Donald Trump's key immigration rule change, to discourage immigrants from relying on public health programs, food stamps, housing assistance and other welfare, got derailed on Friday [10/18/2019] by three federal judges. Their decisions, blocking Trump's rule from going into effect, are wins for Democrats and immigration lobbyists. America's poor are the losers. Our country needs to take care of its own needy first. Trump's proposed rule would make it harder for immigrants who use welfare to qualify for green cards and permanent residence, and it would give preference to immigrants who fend for themselves. The rule would also require visa applicants to show they won't use welfare if they're let in the country. Manhattan federal Judge George Daniels blasted Trump's proposed rule as an "exclusion in search of a justification," implying it was a racist ploy to keep out foreigners. US takes step to require DNA samples from asylum-seekers. The Trump administration is planning to collect DNA samples from asylum-seekers and other migrants detained by immigration officials and will add the information to a massive FBI database used by law enforcement hunting for criminals, a Justice Department official said. The Justice Department on Monday [10/21/2019] issued amended regulations that would mandate DNA collection for almost all migrants who cross between official entry points and are held even temporarily. Abolish the Diversity Visa Lottery. Each year, the Diversity Visa Program accepts 50,000 randomly selected people — only from countries that don't send many immigrants to the United States — to obtain permanent residency (commonly called a "green card"). It's a way for individuals and families who otherwise wouldn't have any way to legally immigrate to the United States to get a green card. The program is often seen as one that should be ended in a shift toward a more merit-based system. According to Heritage Foundation: "It does not bolster the skills of the American workforce, nor does it reunite families or serve any humanitarian function. Its only purpose is to increase ethnic and cultural heterogeneity in the U.S. — a dubious goal that weakens the social ties within communities." The Editor says... U.S. Attorneys Prosecute 110.5K Illegal Aliens in 2019, Highest Level in History. United States Attorneys' Offices around the country prosecuted about 110,500 illegal aliens and illegal alien smugglers in Fiscal Year 2019 — the highest annual rate of prosecution for immigration-related crimes ever in American history. Newly released data by the Justice Department reveals how President Trump's administration has hugely increased the number of illegal aliens and illegal alien smugglers being prosecuted after years of decline by the Bush and Obama administrations. Justice Dept. sets record for prosecuting illegal immigrants. The Justice Department set a record over the last year, prosecuting more criminal cases against illegal immigrants and migrant smugglers than any other year on record, officials announced Friday [10/18/2019]. The numbers are still a tiny fraction of the overall illegal activity at the border. With nearly 1 million unauthorized crosses in fiscal year 2019, the government still only charged about 106,000 people with either illegal entry or illegal re-entry after a previous deportation. Another 4,297 people were charged with migrant smuggling, harboring or otherwise assisting in the illegal traffic. The Editor says... Record 32 million Hispanics ready to vote, the largest minority in 2020. The percentage of Hispanics eligible to vote in the upcoming 2020 presidential election has surged nearly 20% since 2016 when Hillary Clinton took 66% of the Latino vote. And at over 30 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Hispanics will be the largest voting minority for the first time. Trump-Mexico Immigration Deal Breaks Up Caravan of 2000 Migrants. New immigration procedures implemented by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López-Obrador (AMLO) effectively disbanded a group of 2,000 mostly Central American caravan migrants. Immigration policies put in place following an agreement between Mexico and the Trump Administration broke up a caravan consisting of approximately 2,000 people from Central America, Africa, and the Caribbean Islands, the Associated Press reported Saturday. The group began to move northward from Tapachula, Chiapas, early one morning last week after being held up for official travel documents. The group quickly encountered Mexican Federal Police and members of the newly formed National Guard. Mexican National Guard Stopped, Turned Back Migrant Caravan Headed For US. Mexican authorities stopped a caravan of about 2,000 migrants heading north for the United States, the latest action by their government to crack down on illegal immigration. In the southern Mexican city of Tapachula, a caravan of Central American, Caribbean, and African migrants embarked on foot for the U.S. on Saturday morning [10/12/2019]. After traveling for about 20 miles, however, they were greeted by hundreds of National Guardsmen and federal police blocking both sides of the highway, according to The Associated Press. Caravan of up to 2,000 migrants headed to the US is abruptly stopped and detained by Mexico. Authorities in Southern Mexico detained hundreds of African, Caribbean and Central American migrants who were heading north Sunday [10/13/2019] as part of an up to 2,000-person caravan aiming to reach the United States. The group set out before sunrise Saturday from the town of Tapachula, Mexico, where many had been marooned for months unsuccessfully trying to get transit visas. They carried heavy backpacks, babies and parcels on their heads. Trump violated the law by declaring emergency to divert funds to border wall, judge rules. President Trump acted unlawfully when he declared a national emergency in order to fund his long-promised border wall, a federal judge ruled Friday [10/11/2019]. Texas federal Judge David Briones' order left open the option he could also temporarily bar construction of the wall at the southern border. The County of El Paso and an organization called Border Network for Human Rights sued Trump and the administration earlier this year, claiming the president violated the law when he declared a national emergency in order to divert funds from the Department of Defense to bankroll the project. Judge blocks Trump policy that makes green cards harder to get. A Manhattan federal court judge has issued a nationwide order blocking the Trump administration from enforcing a new regulation that would make it easier to deny green cards and visas to immigrants who might need public assistance in the future. Judge George Daniels' Friday [10/11/2019] ruling came just days before the so-called "public charge" rule was set to go into effect on Oct. 18. The new rule would have made it possible to brand any immigrant with the potential to end up on public assistance as a burden, and consider that in deciding to issue green cards or visas. ICE: 1,000 'False Families' Detected at Border Through DNA Tests. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced Thursday that over 1,000 "false families" that were apprehended crossing the southern border have been detected thanks to DNA testing. "We are utilizing DNA sampling right now in the border environment trying to ferret out the false families," ICE acting director Matthew Albence said in a press briefing on Thursday [10/10/2019], according to the Washington Examiner. He went on to criticize a federal judge for ruling to limit the agency's ability to ask local law enforcement to hold illegal immigrants until ICE can apprehend them. ICE chief bashes judge who curtailed use of detainers to arrest illegal immigrants. The government's top deportation official unloaded on a federal judge Thursday, accusing him of endangering American communities with a ruling late last month that curtailed ICE's ability to ask local authorities to hold illegal immigrants for pickup. Matt Albence, acting director at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said the judge, an Obama appointee to the bench, was ignoring the way law enforcement operates in the 21st century by ruling ICE's databases aren't reliable enough to sustain detainer requests. "This decision will threaten public safety as it will lead to the release of criminal aliens back onto the street," Mr. Albence said. He cast Judge André Birotte Jr.'s ruling as not only overreach by a runaway federal judiciary, but as part of an anti-ICE sentiment sweeping the country and making it tougher for his deportation officers to enforce the laws. Trump Surges Deportations of Illegal Aliens by 453 Percent in Recent Months. President Trump's administration deported more than 2,500 illegal aliens in the last two months who had arrived at the United States-Mexico border and claimed to be part of a family unit. Federal data obtained by Breitbart News reveals that since August, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has deported more than 2,500 illegal aliens who arrived as a family unit at the southern border and have final orders for removal. Kenya believe it? Despite 4-month decline, unauthorized border crossings nearing 1 million. Despite a decline of more than 60% over the last four months, the number of unauthorized migrants stopped at the southern border reached nearly 1 million in the 2019 fiscal year — the most recorded since at least 2014. "These are numbers that no immigration system in the world is designed to handle — including ours," Mark Morgan, the acting head of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, told reporters in the White House briefing room on Tuesday [10/8/2019]. Julián Castro Escorts Migrants to Southern Border; Agents Return Them All to Mexico. Democrat presidential hopeful and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro escorted a group of migrants to the United States-Mexico border, but they were all returned to Mexico. On Monday [10/7/2019], Castro traveled to the Brownsville, Texas, region of the southern border where he escorted 13 migrants in Mexico to U.S. Border Patrol agents in an effort to get them released into the interior of the country while their asylum claims were adjudicated. Stephen Miller: 2020 Democrats Want to 'Sacrifice the Working Class' for Illegal Aliens. [Scroll down] As Breitbart News estimated, providing free healthcare to every illegal alien in the U.S. would cost up to $66 billion a year or $660 billion over a decade to American taxpayers. Already, Americans are forced to subsidize illegal aliens' medical costs to the sum of almost $20 billion a year. The Urban Institute's Linda Blumberg, a health insurance expert, told the New York Times that such a policy providing free healthcare for every foreign national who crosses the U.S.-Mexico border or overstays a visa would drive a migration of "people with serious health problems" to the country. U.S. top court to hear Trump bid to revive law against encouraging illegal immigration. The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday [10/4/2019] agreed to hear a bid by President Donald Trump's administration to resurrect a federal law that makes it a felony to encourage illegal immigrants to come or stay in the United States after it was struck down by a lower court as a violation free speech rights. How fraudsters are gaming pathway to citizenship for immigrant domestic violence victims. The government's special program granting a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who are victims of domestic abuse is rife with fraud, according to a new watchdog audit Monday that suggests migrants have figured out how to game the system. Fraud cases have quadrupled this year alone, the Government Accountability Office says, and now total about 13% of new applications from those who "self-petition" for protections under the Violence Against Women Act. Claiming abuse can be a fast track to citizenship, and at the very least usually serves as a shield against deportation and leads to immediate work permission for immigrants who allege they were victims of domestic violence. Experts said those benefits make the program attractive for both real victims and fraudsters. State, local officials likely to scrutinize general contractor tied to accused labor trafficker. A Twin Cities developer and general contractor will likely face new scrutiny from city and state officials after an accused labor trafficker was found back on its job site last week. The fallout comes one week after [KSTP] took pictures and videos on a Reuter Walton site in Richfield of Ricardo Batres. Batres is out on bond, awaiting trial for charges that he trafficked undocumented workers, stole their wages, and threatened to report them to ICE. Prosecutors said Friday [9/27/2019] that he could now face additional criminal charges and may have violated the conditions of his release. 30 of The Biggest Lies & Hoaxes Perpetrated on The American People. [#18] Immigration: This has been an ongoing hoax for decades. Where the Democrats once used to speak out about building a wall — all for show — now they oppose it. Why do they oppose it? Aside from the obvious drug running and child trafficking, it's about votes, and building toward creating open borders to meet their 2030 agenda. The growth rate in immigration has exceeded our natural growth rate, and their goal is to continue on that path so that by 2050 America will be dependent on immigrants having babies to maintain our population. A $250,000 thought crime: The Death of American Citizenship. Estimates of the number of undocumented American residents range from 11 million to more than 20 million. The undocumented are becoming legally indistinguishable from citizens and enjoy exemption from federal immigration law in some 500 sanctuary jurisdictions. An illegal resident of California will pay substantially less tuition at a California public university than a U.S. citizen of another state. [...] We are unwinding at both ends. Tribalism, the erosion of the middle class and de facto open borders are turning Americans into mere residents of a particular North American region between Mexico and Canada. Trump administration reaches asylum deal with Honduras. The Trump administration reached a deal with the government of Honduras to enhance the Central American nation's asylum capacity. The agreement, signed Wednesday, is similar to agreements previously reached with the governments of El Salvador and Guatemala, a senior Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official told reporters on a phone call. The official said migrants who had an opportunity to seek protection in Honduras, El Salvador or Guatemala will be returned from the U.S. border to seek asylum or protection in one of those countries under the recent agreements, including the new Honduras accord. U.S. Census Finds 22.1 Million 'Not a U.S. Citizen' in Survey. The percentage of foreign-born U.S. residents has reached its highest level in more than a century, according to estimates from the 2018 American Community Survey released today [9/26/2019]. A record 44.7 million people are foreign-born, or about 13.7% of the U.S. population. That's the highest rate since 1910 and comes amid a highly-charged political debate over whether the decennial Census survey should include a citizenship question. A subset of the foreign-born figure — the number of people in the U.S. but 'not a U.S. citizen' held at around 22 million in 2018. Catch and release ends next week. The practice of catching and releasing illegal aliens will end next week, the Department of Homeland Security announced. Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin K. McAleenan said, "With some humanitarian and medical exceptions, DHS will no longer be releasing family units from Border Patrol Stations into the interior. [...] The Rule of Law is the last thing Democrats, drug dealers, and the Chamber of Commerce want. A porous border keeps numerous billion-dollar industries going — from human trafficking to drugs to cheap labor to population inflation in sanctuary states which gain congressmen and Electoral College votes they didn't earn. President Trump Lashes Out at Open Borders Social Justice Activists During UN Speech. President Trump spoke to the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. It was another historic speech. President Trump called out China, Iran, North Korea and the Taliban. President then called out the open borders social justice activists. Prison, labor camps, caning: Illegal entry [is] no misdemeanor in other countries. Jumping the border in Singapore is punishable by six months in prison — and not less than three strokes with a cane. In Russia, it can earn you up to two years in a prison labor camp. Pakistan goes as high as 10 years in prison, while India allows for up to eight years behind bars for those who sneak across its boundaries. It's a far cry from the U.S., where illegal entry is a misdemeanor, with a maximum of six months in jail. In reality, most of those who are prosecuted — and only about 1 in 5 border jumpers are — are sentenced to time served and are out within days. Surge: 14.3 million illegal immigrants in US costing taxpayers $130B. Fueled by lax laws, promises of sanctuary, and a growing threat to shut down the U.S.-Mexico border, the illegal immigrant population in the United States has surged nearly 2 million to 14.3 million, according to a new calculation from a key immigration policy group. Citing several reasons for the growth over the past two years, the Federation for American Immigration Reform said the total could jump to 21 million in just six years without reforms to stop illegal immigration and improve legal entry. "These new numbers suggest that we have entered a new phase of the ongoing phenomenon of illegal immigration," said Dan Stein, president of FAIR. Colorado Communists Protest Outside ICE Warden's Home: 'No Borders, No Nations!' Communists and anti-enforcement activists in Denver, Colorado, protested outside the home of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility warden, shouting, "No borders, no nations, no racist deportations!" As Breitbart News has chronicled, Abolish ICE Denver, Denver Communists, and Denver Action Network organized outside the home of Aurora's ICE processing center warden Johnny Choate, arriving in shirts reading, "Let them all in," and, "Close the concentration camps." Trump admin. reaches asylum deal with El Salvador. The Trump administration signed an asylum agreement Friday [9/20/2019] with El Salvador, giving the U.S. the right to repatriate migrants who cross through El Salvador to reach the U.S. and who then request asylum here. Officials hope the agreement, along with a similar one signed with Guatemala over the summer, will change the incentives that have spurred this year's illegal immigration surge at the border. Most asylum-seekers have bogus claims and won't win their cases, but under the current system, many of them were allowed to remain in the U.S. while they argued their case — giving them a foothold here. Officials believe that if they can block those bogus asylum-seekers from reaching U.S. territory in the first place, it will reduce the overall flow. Waiting In Juarez: How Trump's 'Remain in Mexico' Program Could Ruin The Smugglers' Trade. [Scroll down] They say they paid smugglers thousands of dollars to get this far, sometimes more than once. [Mariela] Hernandez still owes her smuggler $2,500. "I just want an opportunity to come to the United States and work," she says. "I don't understand why others were allowed in but not us. What changed?" What changed was the Migrant Protection Protocols. Launched as a pilot program in El Paso and San Diego in January, the Trump administration expanded and accelerated the MPP program, also known as "remain in Mexico," as part of a deal struck with Mexico in June to crack down on illegal immigration from Central America. The program requires migrants seeking asylum in the United States to wait in Mexico while their cases are being adjudicated — a process that takes months. All told, the United States has sent nearly 43,000 non-Mexicans back across the Rio Grande to await their hearings. 'Beto'
O'Rourke Confirms: 'Yes' I Want to Tear Down Border Walls. Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke (D) confirmed in an
interview with Latino USA's Maria Hinojosa Friday [9/13/2019] that he is in favor of physically tearing down existing
sections of the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border. "So Beto I just want to be clear. Have you said you want to tear
down the wall?" Hinojosa asked. "If I'm elected, I will tear down that wall. Then suddenly the Democrat is
quoting the Republican Ronald Reagan — tear down that wall." Eric Holder: 'Democrats' Need to Know 'Borders Mean Something'. Former Attorney General Eric Holder spoke out defending the Obama administration from critics on the far-left about its deportation efforts while warning 2020 presidential candidates that the U.S. needs borders. "The emphasis there was on people who had criminal records, people who posed a danger, a public safety risk," Holder, who served under former President Obama, said of the Obama administration's policy in a CNN interview released Saturday [9/14/2019]. "Democrats have to understand that... borders mean something," he added. Illegals Now Leaving Yelp-like Ratings on the Best Illegal-enabling Services. If you want to know why Invasion USA continues apace, look no further than Big Migration, a lucrative racket so brazen that border-jumping migrants "can now offer Yelp-style reviews for attaining the finest in illegal alien-enabling services, not just in one's choice of smuggling coyote, but in all the vast numbers of choices in NGOs offering shelters and services," writes American Thinker's Monica Showalter. So much for illegals being "in the shadows." Texas Dem Supports Decriminalizing Border Crossings. A Democrat running in a key Texas swing district supports decriminalizing illegal border crossings. "Yes is the answer. We absolutely have to repeal it," Shannon Hutcheson said in reference to Section 1325, the statute declaring illegal entry into the U.S. a criminal offense. Hutcheson is seeking the Democratic nomination in Texas's 10th Congressional District, which national party officials have listed as a potential target in 2020. The U.N. is flying and busing migrants through Mexico back to Central America. A United Nations agency, with funding from the U.S. State Department, is transporting thousands of immigrants from the U.S.-Mexico border back to Central America in a program that has drawn the ire of migrant legal advocates. The advocates question whether migrants fully understand their rights when they accept free plane and bus tickets home. The program was in full swing Tuesday in this border city opposite El Paso, where 63 Honduran migrants boarded two buses chartered by the U.N.'s International Organization for Migration, which has transported more than 2,200 Central American migrants home from Juarez and Tijuana so far this year, a spokesman said. Trump-shaped 9th Circuit hands White House major win on asylum policy. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals — long a liberal bastion that has been aggressively reshaped into a more moderate court by the Trump administration — handed the president a major win late Monday, lifting a nationwide injunction on his asylum policy. Earlier in the day, Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar in California had reinstated a nationwide halt on the Trump administration's plan to prevent most migrants from seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, if they first crossed through another country on the way. Supreme Court allows Trump asylum restrictions to take effect, ending 9th Circuit injunctions. In a major win for the Trump administration, the Supreme Court issued an order late Wednesday ending all injunctions that had blocked the White House's ban on asylum for anyone trying to enter the U.S. by traveling through a third country, such as Mexico, without seeking protection there. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals — long a liberal bastion that has been aggressively reshaped into a more moderate court by the Trump administration — handed the White House a partial victory in the case on Monday by ending the nationwide injunction against the asylum policy. However, the 9th Circuit kept the injunction alive within the territorial boundaries of the circuit, which encompasses California, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada, Idaho, Guam, Oregon and Washington. Supreme Court Lets New Trump Asylum Restrictions Take Effect. The Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to enforce new immigration rules against asylum seekers at the southern border. The high court did not give reasons for its Wednesday night decision or disclose a vote count, as is typical of orders of this nature. Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a short dissent, which Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg joined. Supreme Court allows Trump administration to deny asylum to migrants on southern border. The Supreme Court will allow the Trump administration to fully enforce a new policy aimed at curbing Central American migrants' ability to claim asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border, handing a victory to President Trump in his efforts to crack down on illegal immigration. The Supreme Court's decision came down Wednesday evening, with Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor dissenting. The high court lifted a lower court order that blocked the Trump administration from broadly enforcing the new rule for asylum-seekers, under which migrants arriving at the southern border are ineligible for asylum unless they have sought refugee status in one of the countries they traveled through first. Supreme Court allows broad enforcement of asylum limits. The Supreme Court is allowing nationwide enforcement of a new Trump administration rule that prevents most Central American migrants from seeking asylum in the United States. Nationwide Injunction Against Trump's Asylum Ban Lifted Again by Ninth Circuit. A federal appeals court on Tuesday [9/10/2019] temporarily rolled back the nationwide injunction preventing the Trump Administration's asylum ban — requiring any migrants passing through Central America to seek asylum in one the nations they pass through before applying in the U.S. from taking effect. In response to a "Renewed Emergency Motion" submitted by the Justice Department, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an administrative order granting the government's request to stay the nationwide injunction put in place Monday night by U.S. District Court Judge Jon Tigar of California. Tigar reasoned that a nationwide injunction was necessary because of the need to "maintain uniform immigration policy." Nationwide Injunction Against Trump Asylum Policy Lifted. President Trump's newly-enacted policy of denying asylum to illegal aliens who first passed through another country prior to entering America has been re-implemented, as per a report from Politico. U.S. District Court Judge Jon Tigar of San Francisco has ordered a nationwide injunction on the policy, which would require immigrants to seek asylum in the first country that they entered after leaving their home countries. Illegal immigrant invites ICE to town hall, then is shocked to find he's being deported. This is one of those heartwarming stories that only comes along once in a while and is too good to not share. It takes place in Houston, Texas and features local businessman Roland Gramajo. [...] If you click through to the Times article, you'll see that I wasn't trying to mislead you about this story. That's how they told it. In fact, you have to work your way down several paragraphs before finally locating the following biographical information. "Mr. Gramajo had been staying in the country illegally — raising his five children, running a business in Houston and helping fellow immigrants with translations — without contact from ICE for about 15 years." The crux of the Times coverage focuses on suspicions that ICE is "targeting activists" who are "helping" (illegal) immigrants. But let's face the facts here. Dude... you're in the country illegally and have been breaking the law by operating a business for a decade and a half. And then you decided to throw a big shindig and you invited the office of Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. Democrats 'Coaching' Migrants During Secret Mexico Trips, Leaked Letter Alleges. Ranking member of the House Oversight Committee Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) is demanding answers over Democrats' mysterious trips to Mexico, including details into the alleged "coaching" of migrants to exploit United States immigration law, a letter from the Republican exclusively obtained by Fox News says. The letter, addressed to committee chairman Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), inquires about "at least two committee staff trips into Mexico in August — one of which required Border Patrol agents to provide a special escort back into the U.S.," Fox reports. Republicans were not informed of the trips, according to Rep. Jordan. House Republicans demand details on Dems' mysterious trips to Mexico. Republicans on the House Oversight Committee are calling on their Democratic colleagues to provide more details about a series of trips taken to Mexico while staff were touring border detention facilities, amid reports that at least one Democrat has been involved in "coaching" migrants there on how to exploit U.S. immigration law. In a letter to Chairman Elijah Cummings, D-Md., obtained by Fox News, ranking member Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said there were at least two committee staff trips into Mexico in August — one of which required Border Patrol agents to provide a special escort back into the U.S. DHS Drafts Plan to Curb Work Permits for Illegal Migrants. The Department of Homeland Security is discarding a 1994 rule which says officials must provide work permits to asylum seekers within 30 days of their request. The tighter curbs on work permits may reduce the huge flow of low wage foreign migrants into U.S. blue collar jobs. In turn, the reduced inflow will pressure employers to offer Americans higher wages as they compete for the limited pool of U.S. workers[.] Democrat on Illegal Immigration Contributing to Classroom Overcrowding: 'I Don't See That At All'. Rep. Norma Torres (D-Calif.) said she does not think closing detention centers for illegal immigration would further contribute to classroom overcrowding in public schools. According to a 2017 report from The Education Trust-West, more than 250,000 students in public schools had undocumented parents. The report also found that "1 in 13 Californians is undocumented." School districts in cities such as Los Angeles have struggled with classroom overcrowding. Mexico announces 56 percent drop in number of migrants arriving at US border. The Mexican government announced Friday [9/6/2019] that the number of migrants coming to its border with the U.S. had dropped by 56 percent over the past three months as the country tries to avert President Trump's threatened tariffs on Mexico's exports to its northern neighbor. Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard, citing data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said the number of migrants apprehended at the frontier in August was 63,989 in August, down from 146,266 in May. Those numbers included people who presented themselves at U.S. ports of entry and were deemed inadmissible. Poll: Increasing Immigration, Giving Illegals Right to Vote Most Unpopular 2020 Political Positions. Increasing illegal and legal immigration to the United States is the most unpopular position a 2020 presidential candidate can take, as well as giving illegal aliens the right to vote, according to a new poll. The latest Harvard/Harris Poll finds that 2020 presidential candidates who want to increase overall immigration to the U.S. — while the country already admits 1.5 million foreign nationals every year — are the least likely to win over American voters. Bangladeshi national arrested in South Texas for his role in conspiracy to bring illegal aliens into the US. A Bangladeshi man residing in Mexico was arrested Saturday [8/31/2019] — upon his flight arrival into the George Bush International Airport in Houston, Texas — for his role in a scheme to smuggle illegal aliens into the United States. [...] According to the superseding indictment which was unsealed Sept. 4, from March 2017 to August 2018, [Milon] Miah conspired to bring and brought 15 Bangladeshi nationals into the United States at the Texas-Mexico border in exchange for payment. Miah allegedly maintained a hotel in Tapachula, Mexico, where he housed and fed illegal aliens, and he provided them with plane tickets to locations in northern Mexico where the illegal aliens were met by other smugglers who transported them to the U.S. border. We Don't Trust You. [Scroll down] Since the 1980s, nearly every time Americans have been allowed to vote on illegal immigration, they've opposed it — denying government services to illegal aliens, denying bail to illegal aliens, imposing English language requirements, allowing police to request documentation from suspected illegal aliens and on and on and on. All of these democratically achieved results were met with rage, insults, prejudice — and often a court overturning the vote. This culminated in 2016, when Americans decided to make an utterly preposterous candidate not a mayor or congressman, not even a governor, but president of the United States based on his promise to deport illegal aliens and build a wall. We know how that turned out. When will big city Democrats stop enabling illegal immigration? The phenomena the President described are very real — the poor, mostly black residents of many Baltimore neighborhoods have been forced to put up with levels of violence and squalor that would turn the stomachs of white, liberal suburbanites. Instead of facing that reality and demanding change, those left wing suburbanites just ignore it. It's not just Baltimore. The irony of today's Democrats is that they espouse values claiming to care for minority communities, but in reality the low-income communities they represent are mostly populated by minorities who have had their economic interests betrayed at every turn by the Democratic Party's dedication to fighting for open border policies. Study after study has shown that native-born black men are the group that suffers most from mass, low-skilled immigration. 33 Tough Questions for Pro-Immigration Christians. We learned some things about poor people entering a welfare state whose elites discourage them from adopting that nation's values. They tend to vote for a bigger welfare state, and even more immigration. Not all of them, but an electoral majority, and that's what matters. Nor do self-styled pro-life Latino immigrants seem to be supporting pro-life Democrats. That party has become even more intolerantly pro-abortion in the past 20 years, as such migrants became a key part of its base. Thousands Returned to Mexico Under Trump Immigration Policy. Asylum seekers, especially from non-contiguous countries, pose a unique challenge to the immigration system. Preexisting laws and regulations mean that asylum seekers can only be detained for so long before being released, while the large immigration court backlog essentially guarantees that these time thresholds will be passed. The result is a system of de facto catch-and-release, in which an individual can simply claim asylum at the border and then disappear into the interior while his or her case is processed. The stated goal of the "Remain in Mexico" policy at the time of its implementation was to curb the then-swelling crisis at the southwestern border, which was in no small part a product of this asylum loophole. African Migrants Protest Denial of Passage Through Mexico to U.S. Hundreds of African migrants are finding themselves trapped in Mexico's southern border region after new immigration rules no longer allow them safe passage to the U.S. The rule changes now say they must naturalize in Mexico or exit through its southern border. A Cameroonian migrant, Esteban Azu, 37, said he paid human smugglers $8,000 to get him into the U.S. The Editor says... A 'nation of laws'? With immigration, only when it's convenient for Democrats. Our Constitution was supposed to make America a nation of laws, not of men. That changed when President Barack Obama put aside the classes of deportable aliens listed in section 237(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and created his own list of deportable alien classes. The Democrats are still restricting deportations, but they are doing it now by preventing Trump from receiving the funds he needs for effective enforcement measures. Moreover, they make enforcement costly for him politically by demonizing him whenever he initiates a significant enforcement measure. They didn't have to resort to such tactics. They could have just replaced the INA with their own immigration bill during the early years of the Obama administration. Illegals Who Make A Living Criticizing ICE Are Shocked To Find Themselves Being Deported. Marcos Baltazar, an undocumented immigrant from Guatemala who sits on the board of the Alabama-based immigrants' rights group Adelante, was arrested during a routine check-in on Thursday. He and his 18-year-old son are being held at the Etowah County Detention Center, a facility plagued by allegations of human rights abuses. Though Adelante has been hesitant to accuse ICE of detaining Baltazar because of his advocacy work, he's not the first high-profile activist the agency has arrested. The next day, Francisco Silva, a volunteer with the Chicago-based Organized Communities Against Deportations, was also arrested during a bond review Friday even though an immigration judge released him on bond in 2015. And in May, immigration officers arrested an undocumented college student just three days after he read a poem criticizing the agency. India Has More than 630,000 Illegals in the United States. Two Indians have been sent to jail for just three years after smuggling hundreds of Indians into the United States. Hema Patel, 51, worked with Mexican coyotes and charged $28,000 to $60,000 to bring individuals across the Canadian and Mexican borders. When the illegals were caught, she also used her Texas bail-bonds business to spring her clients from detention, according to an ICE press release. Far-Left Blue State Gave Nearly $4 Million to Illegal Aliens In Financial Aid. When New Jersey debuted a new program last year offering college aid to immigrants living in the country illegally, it was unclear how many undocumented students would sign up. After a year, advocates and state official say the program has been a success. During the 2018-2019 academic year, 749 undocumented students were awarded $3.8 million in state financial aid to attend New Jersey colleges, according to new statistics released by the state Higher Education Student Assistance Authority. The 5.2% illegal alien tax. A Breitbart News report ripping the New York Times — always a fun read — revealed the true cost to American workers for allowing illegal aliens to work here. $493.9 billion annually, according to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Illegal aliens lower wages by that amount. It is a 5.2% payroll reduction, a tax if you will on workers. And unlike federal income taxes that hit the 1% hardest, this payroll tax hits lower wage workers the hardest. Trump Official Announces Bad News For Over 100 Countries Mooching Off America. President Trump continues to pursue an America first agenda and that includes cutting off the endless fountain of free money to other countries. The administration has been looking at cutting around $4 billion in foreign aid to around one hundred countries many of which routinely trash [America] but have enjoyed their ability to leech off of U.S. taxpayers thanks to our craven politicians. Elizabeth Warren, the worst of the bunch. They each advocate for open borders to all who show up, no matter from what home country, no matter how likely they may be to be criminals. Not one of them cares about the thousands of American citizens who are killed by illegal aliens. No, they care about only the "poor children at the border" whose parents have either sold or rented them to drug cartels or coyotes for a price. But bleeding-heart Warren now wants to repeal the 1994 crime bill, pushed by Joe Biden at the time, and that actually worked. For wholly mysterious reasons, Warren, like the rest of the Left, values criminals, legal or illegal residents, over American citizens. Trump Cancels 'Flores Settlement': Democrats Calls It 'Cruel and Inhumane Move'. The Trump administration announced Wednesday that its scrapping the Flores Settlement, an agreement that started 'catch and release,' which incentivized illegal immigration and created loopholes in the system. Basically, detention centers couldn't hold family units for more than 20 days, even though it takes roughly 45 to 60 days to complete their immigration proceedings. Critics of the Flores Settlement Agreement, which was based on the more liberal 9th circuit court ruling, have noted that the majority of family units never make it to court once they are released into the United States. Further, the statistics show that the families can stay up to eight years before going to court by using other loopholes in the system as an alternative to detention. Trump admin aims to finally END catch-and-release in game-changing regulation. The entire mass migration to our border and all its cascading ill effects can be traced to one thing: the Flores settlement's expansion from children to family units by a single district judge. Flores is not a constitutional provision, a statute, or even a court ruling. It is a court settlement, designed as a temporary arrangement, that actually runs contrary to statute and has been used as a catalyst to undermine every bedrock law of sovereignty. After a full year of dithering, the Trump administration is finally using its unquestionable power to modify the settlement to finally end catch-and-release. Americans Apply for Jobs Left Open by ICE Raids in Mississippi. When the largest single ICE raid in modern history was carried out in Morton, Mississippi earlier this month, nearly 700 jobs were left vacant after the workforce of mostly illegal aliens were apprehended at the Koch Foods chicken processing plant. Now, several weeks later, those jobs openings are being pursued by American citizens. According to the Clarion Ledger, over 200 have already applied for openings at the plant through job fairs in neighboring Forest. The magic power of enforcement? Texas border crossings cut in half. Something funny begins to happen when our government finally enforces some of our laws and sovereignty. According to weekly data from Texas' Department of Public Safety used internally by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and obtained by CR, 9,407 illegal aliens were apprehended during the first week of August in Texas, a 54 percent decline since the highest weekly rate of May and June. Even more enforcement would likely result in an even sharper decline. The Editor says... The climate change crisis racket. [Scroll down] Further, if we are to believe the hype around the climate crisis, why aren't Democrats being the loudest about discouraging illegal immigration from countries with very low carbon emissions like Guatemala and El Salvador? Democrats could easily argue that illegal immigration is bad for the environment when they know that migrants from undeveloped nations will increase their "carbon footprints" once in America. If the climate is really the number-one threat to humanity, that should outweigh whatever Central Americans have going on that makes them want to escape their environmental paradises in the first place. Report: Illegal Workers Flee Georgia Food Plants After Mississippi ICE Raids. Illegal workers fled a number of Georgia food processing plants this past week after highly-publicized raids by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency at five Mississippi plants. This month, ICE agents conducted the largest workplace raid in more than a decade across five food processing plants in Mississippi, netting the arrests of 680 illegal aliens. That same day, though, ICE officials said they released about 300 of the illegal workers back into the U.S. on "humanitarian grounds." Evidence Surfaces of Intentional Employment Violations by Mississippi Companies Raided by ICE. The Washington Post has an excellent outline of the seven facilities citing dozens of instances where evidence shows each company knew they were hiring people who were not legally eligible for work. In a surprising number of cases the illegal employees were arrested by Border Patrol in California, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona and released on electronic-monitoring programs, including ankle bracelets, to await court dates. According to the affidavits federal authorities tracked the GPS locators on some of the employees and found they were illegally working in all of the facilities. During interviews with the workers they stated how friends and family members in Mexico and Guatemala told them where to go for work in Mississippi. The Democrat Party Is A Joke That Would Cease To Exist Without The Media's Support. Consider the wide open secret that Democrats have to lie about literally every policy aspiration they have. [...] On immigration they also claim they simply want to "help the poor," but every single one of them wants wide open borders so they can exploit yet another group of brown people in yet another benefits-for-loyalty scam that does nothing more than keep those brown people literally segregated and metaphorically enslaved; beholden to the Democrat party, shackled by manufactured grievance, and with nothing but identity-based pain and hatred where their patriotism and individual liberty would've otherwise been. Exploiting brown people has always been the Democrat party's go-to strategy for amassing power, and "immigration" is just the 2019 version of it. Thousands [were] rejected as paupers in [the] year [Emma Lazarus'] poem [was] added to [the] Statue of Liberty. The same year that Emma Lazarus' poem welcoming the world's "poor" and "huddled masses" was added to the Statue of Liberty, the U.S. government rejected 5,812 of those same new arrivals for being poor. In his annual report to Congress in 1903, U.S. Immigration Commissioner William Williams warned that too many immigrants were "entering this country with inadequate sums of money," leaving the system with thousands of charity cases and sinking the country's standard of living. The Statue of Liberty poem means the exact opposite of what immigrant welfare advocates think. [Scroll down] First, as I've noted with exhaustive research in chapter 6 of Stolen Sovereignty, in our entire history from the first colonial-era public charge laws in Massachusetts to the laws written by the federal government in 1882, there was an ironclad rule that immigrants should never be a burden on America. In fact, just one year before the publishing of the poem, Congress passed the 1882 Immigration Act. The bill instructed Treasury officials to inspect immigrant ships for public charges. "If on such examination there shall be found among such passengers any convict, lunatic, idiot, or any person unable to take care of himself or herself without becoming a public charge ... such persons shall not be permitted to land," states section 2 of the act. They weren't even allowed to step foot in the country! Section 4 of the bill required that the cost of returning public charges be "borne by the owners of the vessels in which they came." 'Assimilate or Leave' has Always Been U.S. Immigration Policy. The Democratic Left or DemLeft has denounced as racist Trump's recommendation that "the Squad" of four left-wing Members of Congress go back to where they (or their ancestors) came from if they do not like the United States. The DemLeft has doubled down on this accusation by defining the Squad as "women of color" even though Rashida Tlaib is no more a person of color than Donald Trump. The truth is instead that the Democratic Left has put into practice advice misattributed to Joseph Goebbels: "Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty." The DemLeft is itself the real purveyor of divisive racial identity politics that undermine American Nationalism; the force that has held our country together for more than 240 years and has made the United States the greatest nation on earth. The Editor says... Who's Funding the Wicked War on ICE? An alarming shooting took place at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement offices in San Antonio on Tuesday [8/13/2019]. Local media reported that "multiple shots were fired on two floors targeting ICE officials." [...] The San Antonio attack comes just one month after an antifa extremist ambushed an ICE detention facility in Tacoma, Washington, armed with a rifle and incendiary devices. The vengeful antifa gunman had assaulted a police officer last year at the same location, received a wrist slap, and then published a manifesto that declared: "I strongly encourage comrades and incoming comrades to arm themselves." Can the Democratic Party Govern America? Recently the Democratic Party has become the party of open borders and amnesty as well as ultimate citizenship for upwards of 22 million illegal immigrants and with open borders at least another 2-4 million more every year. The vast majority of these illegal immigrants are functionally illiterate and lacking in employable skills. [...] The Left and the Democratic Party are now so committed to open borders and illegal immigration that they cannot reverse course without a major upheaval within their ranks. It's not racist to screen out migrants who'll be a burden. [Scroll down] Under the new rule, those who are in the country legally will have a more difficult time obtaining green cards or gaining citizenship if they received food stamps, housing assistance, Medicare or other public benefits. But the outrage about this rule, which is set to go into effect in 60 days, is overblown. Even in the era of mass immigration in the 19th and early 20th centuries, those who came here had to promise not to become a "public charge" upon the United States. That meant immigrants pledged to work and/or could look to sponsors who would guarantee their support. The idea of restricting immigration to those who could work is an old one. The federal Immigration Act of 1882 was the first US law to specifically insist that immigrants who couldn't take care of themselves would be excluded. ICE Air: Shackled deportees, air freshener and cheers. America's one-way trip out. President Trump has pledged to expel "millions" of immigration violators, a goal that wildly exceeds the government's abilities and the seating capacity of its aging 737s. The reality is that Trump is losing on the ground: Since the start of the 2019 fiscal year in October, ICE has deported about 50,000 Guatemalans, but nearly five times as many illegally crossed the border into the United States during that time, leading to a record influx of families and children. Mississippi food plants 'willfully' employed illegal workers: fed. Federal authorities apparently had a good reason for conducting one of the biggest immigration raids in a decade this past week. Six of the seven Mississippi food plants that got hit by ICE agents on Wednesday were "willfully and unlawfully employing illegal aliens" — with many working under false names and fake Social Security numbers, according to investigators. Documents unsealed Friday by the US Attorney's Office for the Magnolia state's Southern District outline how authorities worked with confidential informants over the span of a year to uncover the use of ineligible employees. No, ICE's Mississippi Raids Are Not an Outrage. I believe that interior immigration enforcement should (and generally does) prioritize detaining and removing illegal immigrants who have also committed violent crimes, and those who have been deported previously. I also believe that ICE and CPB should (and generally do) attempt to execute their duties with an eye toward compassion and humanity, particularly when children are affected. Nobody likes seeing frightened kids crying. That being said, enforcing the law against people whose "only" crime involves breaking our immigration statutes is not out-of-bounds. Adults who knowingly violate US sovereignty do not get a free pass to live and work openly in America, entirely without fear of deportation. Nearly half of all illegal immigrants nabbed in Mississippi ICE raid [were] released on 'humanitarian grounds'. Almost half of those arrested in a mass Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] roundup of illegal immigrants in Mississippi on Wednesday have already been released, officials announced Thursday [8/8/2019]. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 680 "removable aliens" at several food processing plants in Mississippi, in what had been deemed the largest single-state immigration enforcement operation in U.S. history. As long as the workers are unionized, the AFL-CIO apparently doesn't care if they are here illegally. ICE Arrests 680 Illegal Aliens in Largest Single-State Raid in U.S. History. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency arrested 680 illegal aliens who had been working at seven Mississippi food processing plants, federal officials confirmed on Wednesday [8/7/2019]. ICE agents conducted the largest single-state raid in United States history and the largest workplace raid in the last 11 years when they arrested 680 illegal aliens at seven food processing plants across six cities in Mississippi, [...] Europeans More Concerned About Immigration Than Climate Change, Despite Massive Media Attention. Immigration has possibly caused more fractious discord at the heart of the European Union than any other topic apart from Brexit, and it is a preoccupation shared by the citizens of Europe who say it is the most important issue facing the EU in 2019. The European Commission's Eurobarometer survey, a twice-annually inquiry into the opinions of over 27,000 Europeans asked people in 33 countries what their main concerns were for the European Union, and found worries over immigration to be the clear winner. Some 34 percent of Europeans said immigration was one of their top concerns in 2019, putting the issue comfortably ahead of the competition for another year. Asylum sob-story Lady Frijoles is off the hook for assault charges and partying hearty back in Honduras. The press, in San Diego at least, is making a big deal about a Honduran migrant who as part of the 'remain in Mexico' program has won asylum in the U.S., while the U.S., wickedly enough, wants to appeal that ruling. [...] Bad, bad U.S. for wanting to keep someone out who won't bother to apply legally to come here, and for that matter, can't seem to make a go of things in Mexico, either. The NGOs are all over this one, thinking they have the perfect wedge for allowing millions of unvetted migrants in now because this one looks so camera-genic and his story is so perfect for winning Evangelical Christians over to their side. U.S. opposition is likely based on the thinking that this is another abuser of the asylum system. Why? Because it's so common. And how are those cases going? Invade, Invite, Implode. The accelerating Scramble for America, in which the world's 7.5 billion pre-Americans stake their claim to the USA, offers numerous benefits for American elites, such as lower wages to pay, higher prices for their property, more pliable voters, and greater opportunities to trade visas to foreigners in return for meddling abroad. From the Beltway perspective, the only problem is that America's current voters don't much see what's in it for them from immigration, other than more ethnic restaurants. Although this basic logic is hushed up, Americans more or less understand that they benefit from owning a vast country that is still relatively lightly populated compared with, say, India or Nigeria. ICE agents detain 680 illegal immigrants at 7 Mississippi worksites. Homeland Security agents descended upon several sites Wednesday [8/7/2019] in Mississippi, including Peco Foods in Canton. "After speaking with the agents, I now know that they are identifying illegal immigrants, versus those who are legal, and rounding them up, putting them in buses and carrying them away," said Canton Mayor William Truly. ICE let loose 218,400 migrant 'family members' into the US since December. The federal Homeland Security agency tasked with removing people illegally present in the country has released a couple hundred thousand immigrant families into the interior of the United States since late December, according to data obtained by the Washington Examiner. Those let loose will not be subject to deportation, at least not until after a hearing they are supposed to attend that is years away. Another ungrateful migrant creates a new 'narrative' for ingratitude. Rep. Ilhan Omar was just an opening act. Now, another ungrateful migrant has come out of the woodwork to tell us how awful we are and how ingratitude for being allowed to come here is the rightful state for migrants. Calcutta-born Suketu Mehta, a bitter revanchist who would have been ripped to shreds as a fourth-rate, fourth world 'intellectual' by V.S. Naipaul (too bad he's not alive) puts forth the argument in the Washington Post that immigration is a reparation. His piece is titled 'I am an uppity immigrant. Don't expect me to be grateful." Based on what he says, it's clear he views migration to the U.S. as an entitlement solely because America is so very, very bad — and as a lagniappe, because he's so very, very good. Democrats candidates have embraced four ideas that could end America as we know it. [#2] Decriminalizing Border Crossings and Healthcare for Illegal Immigrants: As shocking as it may seem, just saying that the Democratic Party is in favor of open borders doesn't give you the full sense of how bad the Party is on this issue. That's because not only do they want the borders to be open, they're looking for ways to incentivize more illegal aliens to break our laws. During the June 27th Democratic debate, the candidates were asked if their healthcare plans covered illegal immigrants. Every single hand on the stage went up — and keep in mind that as a practical matter, what that means is that American citizens will be paying even higher premiums to provide "free" healthcare to illegals that can't afford it. During that same debate, 8 out of the 10 candidates on the stage supported decriminalizing crossing the border illegally. Dems refuse to help fix border crisis because bashing Trump is more fun. Now that Democrats have stopped calling the untenable situation at America's southern border a "manufactured crisis" and recognized it as a "humanitarian crisis," perhaps a bipartisan solution can be found to at least one aspect of the problem: the continuing flow of unaccompanied children across the border. But we shouldn't hold our breath. The left — activists, the media and Dem politicians — are more interested in badgering the Trump administration than solving the crisis. Sen. Ron Wyden Escorts 8 1/2 Months Pregnant Mexican Woman and Her Family Across Border Into US. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) posted a video Saturday bragging about how he had escorted an eight-and-a-half months pregnant migrant from Mexico into the U.S. because the woman allegedly was having a difficult pregnancy. Wyden does not tell viewers that the woman is a Mexican citizen and that she brought her husband and 3-year-old son with her across the border. Apparently there are no competent maternity hospitals in Mexico. The Editor says... People Roast Trump And Then Find Out It Was Obama. People told the Daily Caller News Foundation what they thought of quotes President Donald Trump said regarding immigration, except it was actually former President Barack Obama who said them. "That is our direct message to families in central America: Do not send your children to the border. If they do make it, they'll get sent back, more importantly, they might not make it," Obama said in 2014. He also said in 2009, "You are gonna pay a significant fine, you are going to learn English, you are going to go to the back of the line so that you don't get ahead of somebody applying legally, but after you've done these things over a certain period of time you can earn your citizenship." Report: Illegally Entering Guatemalans Aren't Fleeing Violence, They Want To Make More Money. A report this week in the Wall Street Journal chronicles the border crisis at one of its sources, a city in Guatemala that's emptying out as families leave for the United States, and leaves little doubt that what's motivating most of them to leave isn't violence or persecution, but economic opportunity. The focus of the story is the mountainous city of Joyabaj, "population 100,000 and falling." The United States has deported 627 people to Joyabaj in the first six months of this year, more than any other municipality in the country except Guatemala City, population 2.5 million, which saw 643 deportees from the United States over the same period. Democratic Party has become a Continuing Criminal Enterprise. In cooperation with Democrat-aligned Federal Judges, and with the complicity of multiple outlets of the liberal media, the Democrat Party continues to act to block and delay efforts by the Federal Government to prohibit and interdict the illegal entry of persons into the United States from Mexico. An unknown number of those persons pose a clear and present physical danger to America's citizenry. Facilitating the entry of criminals into the U.S. is, on its face, a criminal enterprise. Gulf Cartel Recruitment of Young Teens On Rise near Texas Border. The Gulf Cartel is actively recruiting local teens since young offenders are not sent to prison and only spend a few weeks in a juvenile center if arrested. Some defendants are not old enough to legally drive. Tamaulipas authorities are noticing a spike in the number of teen offenders arrested in Ciudad Victoria for various crimes on behalf of the Gulf Cartel. A law enforcement official who spoke with Breitbart News on the condition of anonymity said that when underage offenders are arrested, they are sent to a minimum-security juvenile center and are back on the streets in mere days. Trump's "Remain in Mexico" Policy Appears to Be Working. The New York Times is crediting President Donald Trump's last set of policy tries for — at long last — a precipitous drop in illegal immigration from Central America. Specifically, the newspaper cited a highly deterring double play by Mexico, prompted by President Trump's arm-twisting. One credited play was Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy, formally called the Migrant Protection Protocols, where U.S. immigration authorities send asylum claimants to wait for their hearings in Mexican cities like Juarez rather than the incentivizing prospect of waiting inside the United States, where they can count on living for years illegally if their claims fail. The incentive of living in the United States illegally evidently has been turned off because failure of claims means the migrants instead have to live in Mexico and will not join America's swollen population of illegal millions who can't be effectively tracked down and deported. Expedited extradition of illegals to begin today and the open borders crowd is apoplectic. The Trump administration is today implementing a strategy that's been in planning for two years to relieve crowding at detention centers, deal with the backlog at immigration courts, and rapidly increase the tempo of deportations of illegal aliens. Predictably, the open borders crowd is appalled, and the ACLU is planning to launch a lawsuit, no doubt before a leftist judge appointed by Obama and Clinton to stymie the move. But this has been planned for two years, and it looks as though their efforts will play into the president's hands as the 2020 election approaches. The Trump Administration Will Let ICE Officials Deport Certain Immigrants Much Faster. The Trump administration will dramatically expand the ability of immigration authorities to rapidly deport certain immigrants, according to a federal notice posted Monday [7/22/2019]. The administration announced on the Federal Register that it plans to expand expedited removal — quick deportations — to those who cannot prove they have been in the country continuously for two years. The new measure will apply to the entire country. DHS to expand speedy deportations across the country. Homeland Security announced an aggressive new policy Monday [7/22/2019] to fast-track deportations of recent immigrants caught in the living in the U.S. illegally, looking to expand a tool that's been used successfully at the border for years. Expedited removal allows immigration officers to order a deportation without the extensive immigration court proceedings and appeals that accompany other removals. For years, it's been applied to immigrants caught within 100 miles of the border who illegally entered in recent weeks. Poll: Moderate Democrats Turned Off by Party's 2020 Open Borders Agenda. The Democrat Party's open borders, mass immigration platform for the upcoming 2020 presidential election is turning off moderate Democrat voters, a new poll reveals. For months now, Democrats running in the presidential primary have largely presented platforms promoting amnesty for all 11 to 22 million illegal aliens, free health care for illegal aliens, and the decriminalization of illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border. This open borders agenda, spearheaded by a select group of white liberals in the party's ranks, is causing a rift among Democrats. Can Trump's New Asylum Rules Stem the Illegal Tide? Illegal immigration numbers remain at levels triple that of previous years, and Congress continues to bicker, foot stomp, other otherwise ignore the problem. In the face of this, the Trump Administration released its latest attempt to bring the border crisis under control. Under new rules issued last week, migrants will now be required to seek asylum in at least one country they pass through on their way north. In other words, to qualify for asylum in the United States, Hondurans and Salvadorans would first have to apply for — and be denied — asylum in Guatemala or Mexico. The response from critics was predictable. [...] None of them, however, acknowledged a key feature of the new rules: they put the United States in compliance with exactly the way the rest of the world handles the flow of refugees between borders. It's the cartels, stupid! To obtain asylum, a migrant must establish a credible fear of persecution or harm on account of the migrant's race, religion, nationality, membership in a social group or political opinion. Migrants have not been deterred, however, from making the dangerous trek to America because they know that if you can get here, especially with a minor in tow, you will in short order be released into the country and have a couple of years before you see an immigration judge. This reality has created a powerful magnet, not only for those facing economic hardship, but also for thugs eager to make a buck. And therein you find the culprits who deserve much blame. Horde of violent migrants storm Texas bridge punching, kicking and rushing border patrol officers. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents were punched and kicked by a violent horde of 50 illegal immigrants who tried to sneak across the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas yesterday [7/20/2019]. A CBP official says the agents had to use tear gas and pepper spray to curb the mob rampage when gangs of illegals rushed the Rio Grande bridge in three separate waves at 4 a.m. local time. "Ignoring commands to stop, the group suddenly rushed the temporary barricades, bent metal poles and disabled the concertina wire affixed to the barrier," the official told Fox News. The Editor says... 1,100 African Migrants [have been] Apprehended in One Border Sector Since May 30. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Del Rio Sector apprehended more than 1,100 migrants from multiple countries in Africa since May 30. The migrants present unique problems for Border Patrol agents who must care for their health and safety. "The apprehension of people from African countries illegally crossing our borders continues to increase," Del Rio Sector Chief Patrol Agent Raul L. Ortiz said in a written statement. "Our agents this year have encountered people from 51 countries other than Mexico including 19 countries from the continent of Africa." Undocumented immigrants try to rush into US in 'waves,' spark showdown with CBP agents. One of the biggest ports of entry along the US-Mexico border had to be shut down on Friday [7/19/2019] after a group of undocumented immigrants — nearly 50 of them — attempted to rush into the United States in "waves," according to federal officials. The mad dash went down at the Pharr International Bridge in Texas at about 4 a.m., officials said, and sparked a showdown with Customs and Border Protection agents. "A group of 47 undocumented individuals attempted to illegally enter the United States in three waves," the agency said in a statement, according to KGBT. Left Goals: Abolishing Citizenship. While claiming fealty to the United States, the Democrats have all but proudly declared they are for open borders and against the rights and interests of American citizens. They have reached a consensus that American citizenship is a meaningless abstraction and an unearned privilege that effectively must be abolished — if not by law, then by ignoring the existence and unique rights of American citizens qua citizens. Peel back the sentimental platitudes (does anyone really think families shouldn't stay together?) and the Democrats' take on immigration reveals a profound betrayal. They are more concerned with the welfare of illegal immigrants than with that of the citizens of the country they were elected to serve. Some Congressional Expulsions Are in Order. There isn't anything unjust about our border laws. A sovereign nation has an unalienable right to enforce its border laws and know exactly who each human being is, irrespective of age, sex, and country of origin. [...] Illegals having rights is farcical to begin with. I'm not an attorney, but this is likely suborning on the part of these Democrats; regardless, it's a dereliction of their constitutional duties, and expulsion proceedings should commence immediately. The Left is following Communism's playbook for revolution. This process continues and is manifested in the widespread antipathy for sexual propriety, faith, and all that is great and good — and in the lust for perversion, socialism, feminism, multiculturalism, "transgenderism," and anti-Americanism in general. We see it in the tearing down of statues; removal of long present Christian symbols; leftist propaganda and decadence in schools and entertainment;, prioritizing of illegal aliens over citizens; revising of American history and impugning of whites; and in attacks on the Constitution, the Founding Fathers, and all things traditional. This destabilization of the American mind and moral compass now has begotten, as it must, societal destabilization. This is reflected in, most obviously, the flooding of our nation with unassimilable foreigners via a purposely porous border. This serves the Cloward-Piven goal of overloading the system to cause breakdown, necessitating replacement of it with, the theory goes, a socialist one. Of course, this human flood strains schools, hospitals, and services and resources in general. What I saw when I visited the border. The situation is dire. Smuggling cartels tell lies about instant asylum and open borders and have drawn migrants by the hundreds of thousands to border stations near McAllen and El Paso in Texas, along with other crossings along the Rio Grande. It isn't until they arrive that migrants discover the truth: applying for legal entry into the United States is a long, confusing process. There are rules — and the line started forming years ago. Defund Lutherans for Open Borders Now! One of the top promoters of the so-called Lights for Liberty nationwide protests by Trump-hating, ICE-bashing radicals was a nonprofit religious organization known as the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service. As a designated "host," LIRS played a key role in publicizing, organizing and participating in demonstrations against President Donald Trump's deportation enforcement actions targeting some 2,000 illegal immigrants and their families who have ignored removal orders or skipped out on court hearings. Brazen hatred of cops, Border Patrol and ICE agents were on full display at the open borders protests fronted by LIRS and other left-wing groups, including Code Pink, CASA and CAIR. Poll: Majority of Mexicans Supports Deportation of Central American Migrants. A slight majority of Mexican citizens supports the deportation of Central American migrants who travel through Mexico to reach the U.S. border, according to a survey released Wednesday [7/17/2019]. The survey, which was conducted by the Mexican newspaper Reforma and the Washington Post, found that six in ten Mexicans believe the migrants have burdened the native population by claiming jobs and benefits that would otherwise accrue to Mexican citizens. A 55 percent majority supports deporting the migrants before they reach the U.S. Drugs pour in from Mexico as [the] Border Patrol [is] forced to focus on migrants. Border Patrol highway checkpoints in the southern New Mexico region that normally seize seven figures of worth of drugs annually have not seized a dollar in nearly four months after being shuttered in late March, allowing drugs to flood into the country. Meantime, with the added supply, prices for illicit drugs are dropping precipitously. Those seven checkpoints have sat unattended after Border Patrol closed them to move all personnel to the border to assist with apprehending, processing, and caring for the high number of migrant families arriving. The American Left Is Racist, Not President Trump. It is not racist to point out that mass immigration of unskilled people who are overwhelmingly non-white will result in social and cultural turmoil, especially so long as the entire culture is now geared towards teaching them a leftist lie that they are victims of white oppression. Democrats Shift From Supporting Legal Immigration To Urging Open Defiance Of U.S. Laws. Far from a mass roundup, ICE's responsibility was to find approximately 2,000 illegal immigrants. Nor were the targets randomly chosen to inspire terror among illegally present foreigners or to display a sign of the administration's lawless lust for retribution against those who break immigration laws. With a population of 11 million illegal immigrants and some estimates saying as many as 1 million of them are already under court order to leave after receiving due process, the arrest of every one of those on the current list couldn't even be counted as a drop in the bucket for dealing with the problem. Moreover, those chosen had already been through the long, tedious process by which the government is forced to prove its case in immigration courts. All have already been ordered out of the country after they had a chance to make their case to be able to stay or even to claim asylum. All of them had broken federal law, received their day in court, and had received court documents telling them they must leave the country. ICE Raids Will Force Long-Needed National Immigration Debate. Americans' steadfast adherence to the rule of law separates the United States from almost every other country, even other free societies. There is nothing more contrary to the rule of law, however, than the current lack of control over our southern border, across which thousands now pass illegally every day. President Trump Highlights Democrat Activist Hypocrisy — Flee to America, and Demand We Change it. Earlier today President Trump drew attention to another uncomfortable truth. Some of the most virulent anti-American progressive lawmakers entered the United States for the opportunity and freedom within our system. However, those same politicians then decry the U.S. and demand changes to the system providing the benefit. In essence, do not flee to the land of liberty, indulge in the benefits and then have the audacity to criticize the foundation of the nation providing the opportunity. Immigration chief blames Congress for horrific migrant shelter conditions. Ken Cuccinelli, the acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, placed the blame squarely on Congress for the deplorable conditions described at a border station by reporters traveling Friday with Vice President Mike Pence. "First of all it's shameful for Congress," Cuccinelli told CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday. "And we can prove it. Because last month, when they were willing to address this same problem for children we succeeded in addressing it in one month." Cuccinelli said lawmakers needed to allocate more money to go toward Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention beds. Of Progressive Carnivores and Cannibals. Obama once protested that he was no king who could open the border and grant amnesties by fiat. Yet his view of immigration has metamorphosed well beyond DACA and Dreamers into Democratic candidates going into Mexico to escort aliens unlawfully into our country, and 500 sanctuary jurisdictions in which federal immigration law is all but null and void. An American citizen convicted of using a fake Social Security Number and phony ID is a felon who is all but unemployable; an illegal alien who commits the same crimes learns quickly that these are not deportable offenses and mostly never prosecuted. Dem Reps dish up food to migrants waiting to cross border illegally. Democrat members of the U.S. House of Representatives spent part of their Saturday fueling up migrants waiting to illegally cross America's southern border. Several members of Congress visited detention and processing centers for illegal aliens, before crossing into Mexico to dish up food to a long line of migrants preparing to breach the border. [Video clip] High-Skilled Immigrants Act Is a Sop to Big Tech. Thanks to furious lobbying from Microsoft, Amazon, Hewlett Packard, Equifax, Texas Instruments, Qualcomm, IBM, Cisco, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, and Eric Schmidt of Google's group FWD.us, among others, the House this week passed H.R. 1044, the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019.The bill, which was supported by 140 Republicans and 224 Democrats, removes the per-country cap for employment-based immigration visas. In other words, it makes it easier for the tech giants and billionaires of Silicon Valley to hire cheap foreign labor over highly skilled Americans. The bill, which was supported by 140 Republicans and 224 Democrats, removes the per-country cap for employment-based immigration visas. In other words, it makes it easier for the tech giants and billionaires of Silicon Valley to hire cheap foreign labor over highly skilled Americans. The DC Illegal Immigration Business. There is no greater disconnect from ordinary Americans on any singular issue than the policy positions of Democrats and Republicans in Washington DC surrounding illegal immigration. President Donald Trump is confronting their unified interests. Massive illegal immigration is supported by both sides of the professional political machine. There are few issues more unifying for the K-Street purchased voices of DC politicians than keeping the U.S. borders open and the influx of illegal aliens as high as possible. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce pays politicians to keep this system in place. ICE deportation raids underway in New York City, 'number of jurisdictions,' official says. A nationwide crackdown to apprehend thousands of illegal immigrants across the country began late Saturday [7/13/2019] in the nation's largest city and several other places, according to an official. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) resumed its previously announced plan to apprehend thousands of illegal immigrants who've been given orders to leave the country, targeting people in at least 10 cities. The ICE raids began late Saturday and into the early morning hours on Sunday in "a number of jurisdictions," not just New York City, a senior administration official confirmed to Fox News. Asylum requests overwhelm US immigration system: A look at the numbers. An explosion in asylum requests from immigrants facing deportation has overwhelmed U.S. courts and denial of the requests does little to keep illegal immigrants out, according to federal statistics. Thousands of migrants are hoping to seek asylum, even though experts say they have poor cases and little chance of gaining the status. But that has not stopped hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of asylum seekers from landing permanently in the U.S., where they live as illegal immigrants, experts say. Democrats Still Don't Seem To Understand Latino Voters Aren't Obsessed With Illegal Immigration. Democrats seem to think railing against how illegal immigrants are treated is a winning issue with Latino voters — as if every Latino in America came here illegally. It's a pretty brazen assumption, and one the Left is not called out on. It now appears as though the Left is just starting to learn that Latino voters care about other things — things all Americans care about: healthcare, the economy, and education. Report: Guatemala May Build 'Legal Wall' Against Migrants. President Donald Trump's deputies may soon finalize a "safe third country" deal with Guatemala that would allow U.S. border officials to legally block most migrants from even applying for asylum, according to the New Yorker magazine. The Guatemala deal would create a legal wall on the U.S. border that would prevent migrants from asking for asylum or getting released into the United States, according to the outlet. Study: Deporting Illegal Aliens Saves Americans Billions in Tax Dollars. Deporting the roughly 11 to 22 million illegal aliens living across the United States saves American taxpayers hundreds of billions in public costs, analysis finds. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is expected to conduct a mass deportation effort next week, where at least 2,000 illegal aliens who have final orders for removal will be arrested, detained, and deported from the U.S. When Mexico enforces its own laws, immigration drops. 'We're holding a gun to our own heads,' said Sen. John Cornyn in June. He was talking about President Trump's threat to impose tariffs in order to force Mexico to crack down on illegal immigration into the Unites States. Many congressmen agreed, fearing, as establishment figures are prone to do, that Trump was risking the whole economy for some nebulous border demand. A month later, it seems Trump's tariff gambit has worked. After Mexican officials agreed to crack down on illegal immigration to avoid US-imposed tariffs, the Department of Homeland Security reports that border apprehensions dropped from 144,278 in May to 104,344 in June — a 28 percent decrease. Some have attributed the drop to warmer weather, not the 20,000 Mexican National Guardsmen sent to the country's borders with the US and Guatemala. It couldn't possibly be that Trump's plan worked, surely not. 'Helping People Avoid Justice': Border Patrol Union President Reacts to Clinton's Advice to Illegal Aliens. National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd blasted Hillary Clinton for publicly coaching illegal immigrants on how to avoid apprehension from Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. "I'm amazed that somebody ... that ran for president of the United States — that was willing to promise to uphold the laws of the United States, the Constitution of the United States — is now actively helping people avoid justice," Judd, who leads the Border Patrol's union of nearly 20,000 members, said Friday [7/12/2019] on Fox News. Who needs opposition research with Joe Biden declaring: 'I respect no borders'? [Scroll down] "I respect no borders." A perfect sound bite for Trump, and one can almost hear the video clips getting their snips and edits for the upcoming television ads. You'd think he'd be smarter than that, but well, this is Joe Biden. No borders? None at all? [...] That's not gonna go down well with the U.S. public, based on polls showing repeated support for a rational expectation of rule of the law at the border. The actual context of the speech isn't precisely on the matter of illegals, but rest assured, Democratic lockstep opposition to any rule of law at the border makes it clear that this is one thing that Joe's vision includes. Turns out, Trump didn't give up on counting both legal and illegal US residents. You've probably heard a lot overnight about President Trump backing down on trying to get a citizenship question on the census questionnaire next year. Perhaps you too were surprised that this president who takes on even meaningless slights or disagreements on Twitter would give up so easily. He didn't. ICE to Begin Deporting Thousands of Illegal Aliens Across 10 Cities This Week. ICE officials will begin the operation on Sunday, July 14 and forcefully deport at least 2,000 illegal aliens with final deportation orders, according to the NY Times. The Editor says... Our border troubles are going to get a lot worse. Word is spreading worldwide, even to sub-Saharan Africa, that the US has an open southern border and an open checkbook. This summer, thousands of Africans from Cameroon, Congo and other violence-plagued countries are forming caravans, preparing to cross our southern border, according to Customs and Border Protection reports. Border agents from the Del Rio area of Texas sounded the alarm on May 31 about a group of 116 African migrants. The agents provided photos of women with babies strapped to their backs and young men in T-shirts and gym shorts sitting on the US side of the Rio Grande, waiting to be arrested. Then, in early June, agents in Eagle Pass, Texas, detained another group of Central African families. Agents said they were startled to see so many "immigrants from countries not normally encountered." In all, more than 500 Africans in a single week crossed the Del Rio border zone. Late in June, agents arrested yet another 310 mostly Haitian and African migrants. Warren Promises to Import at Least 700 Percent More Refugees to U.S. Democrat presidential primary candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is promising to import at least 700 percent more foreign refugees into the United States if she becomes president. In her national immigration plan released this week, Warren broke from her economic patriotism agenda wherein she has committed to holding multinational corporations accountable for outsourcing American jobs overseas and shifting to a permanent nationalist trade policy that puts the needs of American workers first. Why those ICE raids are being announced in advance. Starting Sunday [7/14/2019], Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is expected to resume its previously announced plan to apprehend thousands of illegal immigrants across the country. [...] So why are the raids being publicized days in advance? "It's unprecedented. But there is a political purpose behind it," Thomas Kilbride, a retired Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agent and ICE policy adviser, told Fox News. He said the president has tried to get Democrats to come to the table because asylum laws need to change, and this is a way to bargain. Abandoning immigration enforcement is abandoning our system of government. Trying to actually deport illegal immigrants whom courts have ordered deported is now considered authoritarian. Ken Cuccinelli, a top official at the Department of Homeland Security, made clear that he intended to follow through on President Trump's plans to remove foreigners in the United States illegally for whom final removal orders have been issued. Cuccinelli said this on national TV on Sunday [7/7/2019], and told reporters Wednesday that these operations "absolutely" were going forward. Whose Side Are They On? The Southern border is a litmus test: do they believe that the United States has a right to exist as a sovereign nation, or don't they? For many Democrats, the answer evidently is No. That goes for all of the Democratic presidential contenders: I believe all of them have signed on to the notion of free medical care (along with many other welfare benefits, of course) for illegal aliens. This isn't exactly treason — a word that is thrown around much too often these days — but it certainly amounts to selling out the interests of American citizens. A startling example of the Democrats' disregard of the interests of American citizens is Congresswoman Veronica Escobar, who reportedly has sent her aides to Mexico to help illegal immigrants game the asylum system by pretending that they don't speak Spanish. Why, exactly, would an important member of our government, accountable to the citizens of the United States, do this? Trump Adheres To The Law On Immigration, Shocking Lawless Democrats. The plan to deport about one million illegal aliens announced by Acting United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Ken Cuccinelli is not a matter of discretion. Cuccinelli is just following the law, and already issued court orders. Those subject to deportation under the plan have already had their cases adjudicated in the United States, with immigration judges ruling they have lost their cases, and ordering them deported. Cuccinelli is just the first federal official, besides President Trump, brave enough to follow and implement the law. Pelosi Tips Off Illegals on Sunday's Rumored Deportation Raids — Gives 'Legal Advice' on How to Evade ICE Agents. The New York Times reported Thursday [7/11/2019] that the massive deportation operation President Trump delayed two weeks ago will be deployed this Sunday. Trump's deportation operation is targeting illegals who already have deportation orders, yet Democrat leaders are giving them advice on how to evade ICE agents! NYT: What's The Mystery Behind The Sharp Drop Of Arrivals On The Southern Border? Well, here's a clever whodunit from the Paper of Record. Whatever might be the cause of a sudden drop in border crossings? What could it possibly be? [...] In other words, Donald Trump's get-tough policies have had their desired impact. No wonder the Gray Lady waited until the twelfth paragraph to mention it. In fact, eighteen thousands asylum seekers were sent back into Mexico last month, which might have sent a clear message to others not to bother with the trip for just economic reasons. At the moment, they won't even have court dates until October to resolve asylum applications, and historically less than ten percent of those will qualify anyway. A desperate Beto O'Rourke goes for broke, claims America was founded on white supremacy. A failing campaign makes a man desperate, and Beto O'Rourke surely is a desperate man. The former Texas congressman was asked this week at roundtable event featuring immigrant and refugee participants to explain how President O'Rourke would fight white supremacy in the United States. "I know this from my home state, Texas, places that formed the Confederacy, that this country was founded on white supremacy," the poorly polling 2020 Democratic primary candidate responded. He added, "And every single institution and structure that we have in this country still reflects the legacy of slavery and segregation and Jim Crow and suppression, even in our democracy." Remember: O'Rourke was addressing immigrants and refugees. Welcome to America, you idiots. The other border crisis: Exhausted agents hanging on by a thread. Beyond the humanitarian and security catastrophe unfolding at the southern border, there is a another crisis few know about. Migrants have been the focus of the border crisis for months, and with good reason. More than 700,000 people have been taken into custody by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) personnel at and between ports of entry in the first nine months of fiscal 2019, more than the previous 12 months. Count on Migrants from the World Over to Exploit U.S. Immigration Laws. Word is spreading worldwide — even as far as sub-Saharan Africa — that the U.S. has an open southern border and an open checkbook. This summer, thousands of Africans from Cameroon, Congo, and other violence-plagued countries are forming caravans and preparing to cross our southern border. Border agents from the Del Rio area of Texas sounded the alarm on May 31 about a group of 116 African migrants. Agents provided photos of women with babies strapped to their backs and young men in T-shirts and gym shorts sitting on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande waiting to be arrested. Then, in early June, agents in Eagle Pass, Texas detained another group of Central African families. Agents said they were startled to see so many "immigrants from countries not normally encountered." All in all, more than 500 Africans in a single week crossed the Del Rio border zone. Late in June, agents arrested yet another 310 mostly Haitian and African migrants. Poll: Majority of Americans Want Mass Deportations of Illegal Aliens Following Congressional Inaction. A majority of Americans want mass deportations of illegal aliens if Congress fails to reach a deal this week that closes loopholes in the country's asylum system that allow mass flows of foreign nationals to pour through the U.S.-Mexico border. The latest Harvard/Harris poll finds that 51 percent of American voters say they support mass deportations of the 11 million to 22 million illegal aliens living in the U.S. should Congress fail to reach a deal that closes loopholes in the asylum system. 20% federal inmates are immigrants, mostly Mexican. One-fifth of all federal prison inmates are not U.S citizens, many facing illegal immigration charges, according to new data from the Federal Bureau of Prisons. There are a total of 35,009 "criminal aliens" of 180,344 in prison, and 60% are Mexican, according to an analysis provided to Secrets by David Olen Cross of Salem, Ore., a crime researcher who writes on immigration issues and foreign national crime. Cuccinelli: "Pool For Deportation Removal Exceeds One Million People". [How] did never-Trump leader Ken Cuccinelli end up with a position in this administration? This is the same guy who tried to lead a 2016 convention effort to change the rules and remove Donald Trump as the Republican nominee. Ilhan Omar: We Should Debate Whether To Eliminate All Border And Immigration Enforcement Agencies. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has said almost every terrible thing under the sun. She's peddled anti-Semitic tropes. She's rooted against our troops during our intervention in Somalia in the early 1990s. She's failed miserably to identify that those who committed the 9/11 attacks were radical Muslim terrorists, instead, she trivialized this heinous act as one where "some people did something." So, when she thinks that we should have open borders, sadly, it's not as shocking as some of the other trash she's spewed [i]n recent months. War criminals among us: inside the quiet effort to prosecute and deport violators disguised as refugees. They could be your Uber driver or the security guard at a local airport. The elderly neighbor living next door or the operator of the neighborhood ice cream shop. They came to the United States from all corners of the globe — Somalia, Rwanda, El Salvador, the Balkans, Germany, Iraq — claiming to have been persecuted. In reality, they were the persecutors. For decades, war criminals have lived alongside those they tortured or displaced. Under the guise of being a refugee, they've sought new lives in America. But quiet efforts are underway to expose and punish as many of these hidden offenders as possible — and ensure none find a lasting haven in the U.S. Build the Wall to Save Central America. What is suggested is usually that we should do something to improve conditions in Central America, specifically El Salvador, Honduras, and Guatemala, the benighted lands from whence the constant migrant caravans are emanating. (Some are coming from Africa now, but the numbers are still small.) That way, it is reasoned, the families would want to stay home. Good idea on the face of it, but the method being proposed — foreign aid — is almost always a failure. In fact, due to corruption and other non-politically correct factors, it's very much the reverse. This isn't original thinking on my part; it's pretty well known. Ken Cuccinelli: ICE Ready to Deport Approximately 1M Illegal Aliens with Final Deportation Orders. Acting United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Ken Cuccinelli says the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is ready to deport about a million illegal aliens who remain in the country despite having final orders for deportation. During an interview with CBS News on Sunday [7/7/2019], Cuccinelli said despite a delay of mass deportations by President Trump two weeks ago, ICE agents are ready to detain and deport the roughly one million illegal aliens who have been ordered deported from the country. How the Congo is Moving to Welcoming Maine. If you want to experience the joy the 'humanitarians' of Maine are experiencing there are two things you need — a growing ethnic community (Somali, Congolese, Nigerian, whatever) because they want to live with their own kind of people, and generous social services, and they will come! Oh, and by the way, according to the Center for Immigration Studies, 35,000 more Africans are staged in Central America ready to make the jump to the US border. Asylum seekers defy death for a better life in Portland. Scores of families, totaling more than 300 men, women and children, traveled thousands of miles to Portland from central Africa in recent weeks, fleeing violence and political instability in their home countries. The Editor says... Booker, Dems shameless at border. The Democratic Party's position on immigration is most recently personified in 2020 presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, who tweeted this week about his trip across the border to help five migrant women with their asylum claims. The thread is light on details as to whether or not these women actually have valid legal claims to asylum in the United States, and heavy on unsubstantiated and dramatic details of the cruelty of the process at the American border. What Booker and the rest of his party refuse to acknowledge is that the process is made more cruel by a system that is being overused, abused and stretched to the breaking point by a massive increase of spurious claims and illegal crossings. Immigration is central issue, few in Washington have wherewithal to solve it. Federal immigration policy is key to the current struggle at the border. What is secure. What's not. Who the U.S. should admit. Who it shouldn't. Major questions loom as to what's going on in Central America. Many lawmakers are questioning what "draws" migrants to cross into the U.S. illegally — prompting debates over detention conditions, health and the care of children. That's to say nothing about the expense. Immigration — and particularly perceptions about illegal immigration — is what sparked the recent Supreme Court fight about a prospective citizenship question on next year's census forms. 1,000 Haitian Migrants [have been] Apprehended Since June 10 at [the] Texas Border. Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 1,000 Haitian migrants who illegally crossed the border from Mexico since June 10. Officials in the Del Rio Sector located on the Central Texas border with Mexico report the apprehension of more than 1,000 migrants from Haiti who illegally crossed the Rio Grande since June 10, according to information provided by Border Patrol officials. Of those more than 1,000 Haitian migrants, officials report more than 800 are composed of Family Unit Aliens (FMUA). Report: Democratic Rep. Sending Staff To Mexico To Coach Returned Migrants To Pretend Not To Speak Spanish. Texas Democratic Rep. Veronica Escobar is reportedly sending staff members into Mexico in order to coach migrants returned from the United States on how to exploit a legal loophole that would allow them back inside the country. Democratic congresswoman secretly sending staff into Mexico to coach asylum-seekers. A Democratic congresswoman is sending staff to Mexico's northern border town of Ciudad Juárez to find migrants returned from El Paso, Texas, under the "remain in Mexico" policy, then coaching them to pretend they cannot speak Spanish to exploit a loophole letting them to return to the U.S. Texas Border Point-of-Entry Closed After Threat of 2nd Migrant Rush. The threat of a rush by migrants seeking asylum led to the temporary closure of a local port-of-entry Thursday [7/4/2019]. The shutdown follows one day after authorities closed operations at a separate bridge where migrants rushed the gates. Some claimed they were being extorted by Mexican immigration officials. Trump Tells Migrants, If You Don't Like Our Detention Centers Stay Home. President Donald Trump, facing renewed criticism from Democrats and activists over his handling of a migrant crisis on the U.S.- Mexico border, said in a Twitter post on Wednesday that immigrants unhappy with conditions at detention centers should be told "not to come." Democratic lawmakers and civil rights activists who have visited migrant detention centers along the border in recent days have described nightmarish conditions marked by overcrowding and inadequate access to food, water and other basic needs. Obama DHS Sec: Dem POTUS Candidates Pushing 'Unwise,' 'Unworkable' Plans for 'Open Borders'. Jeh Johnson, former President Barack Obama's Homeland Security Secretary, warned Democrats running for president on Tuesday evening [7/2/2019] that calling for the decriminalization of illegal immigration will alienate a majority of Americans who oppose "open borders." Johnson made his remarks after Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) on Tuesday vowed to "virtually eliminate immigrant detention" through executive orders. Cory Booker crosses into Mexico to escort asylum seekers to US. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., ventured into Mexico on Wednesday to help escort five female asylum seekers to the United States, his campaign said. The 2020 presidential hopeful crossed the El Paso, Texas, port of entry into Ciudad Juarez with immigrant rights attorneys and advocates to get five women fleeing domestic violence admitted into the U.S. after they had been sent back to Mexico. "These women had really horrific stories," Booker told reporters in El Paso. "They are survivors of sexual violence, attacks. They are being preyed upon. They have legitimate fears. This policy that we have, what it's doing is pushing people who are already vulnerable back into a dangerous situation." The Editor says... Crackdown: ICE issues notices of fines to illegal aliens. President Trump signed an executive order in 2017, not long after taking office, to enforce civil penalties against illegal aliens to beef up efforts to hold them accountable, as well as those who assist them by providing sanctuary. Penalties began being assessed by federal officials in December 2018 and the process is progressing to the step of notifying those involved. That includes illegal aliens seeking sanctuary in churches to avoid deportation. These fines are nothing new, though rarely issued in the past. To read some reporting on the enforcement by the current administration, you would not know that. President Clinton signed on to fining illegal immigrants during his presidency. The fines were reduced later and during Obama's administration, he implemented a more lax policy that allowed those here illegally to remain safe from deportation as long as they broke no other laws. 2020 Democrat Candidates' 21 Most Insanely Scary Proposals. [#14] Decriminalizing Illegal Border Crossing: Every single Democrat, including "moderate" Joe Biden, is in favor of decriminalizing entering American illegally, which is the definition of open borders. No longer would it be a crime to enter our country without going through the legal process, no longer would it be a crime to enter our country to scoop up all that free health insurance. [...] [#15] End Deportations of Illegal Immigrants: Every single Democrat candidate, including "moderate" Joe Biden, would end the deportation of illegal immigrants who have not been found guilty of a violent crime. Basically, our borders will be open to billions looking for free welfare benefits, drivers licenses, and health insurance. Federal judge blocks Trump policy keeping asylum seekers locked up. A federal judge in Seattle on Tuesday [7/2/2019] blocked a Trump administration policy that would keep thousands of asylum-seekers locked up while they pursue their cases, saying the Constitution demands that such migrants have a chance to be released from custody. Mexico begins returning migrants seeking asylum in U.S. The Mexican government on Tuesday [7/2/2019] began busing dozens of Central American migrants to their native countries, after they'd been forced to wait in Mexico while their U.S. asylum claims are being processed. The 69 migrants from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador were bused from Ciudad Juárez Tuesday morning as the first group to participate in the Mexican government's "temporary program of voluntary return," the National Migration Institution said in a statement. Obama's DHS chief: Dem candidates' immigration plans are "tantamount to declaring publicly that we have open borders". This feels like a Republican debating point come to life. You can imagine Trump saying, "Democrats have moved so far left on immigration, even the Obama people would be shocked!" But it's not a hypothetical. The Obama people, specifically the head of Homeland Security under O, are actually shocked at how nutty their party has become on this issue in just a few years. ProPublica gets busy with a new doxx operation against the Border Patrol. Well, it looks like the efforts to doxx anyone involved in border control has already begun, leftists didn't need a rabid-minded New York Times op-ed contributor to get the idea going. ProPublica, the Soros-linked media outfit with a Sorosian 'investigative' agenda, has come out with a big-publicity "investigation" on the purported or not bad Facebook behavior of a 9,500-member Facebook group full of current and former Border Patrol agents. AOC and Democrats were told repeatedly that illegal immigrants had overwhelmed the border. Now they act surprised. After months of warnings from the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services — not to mention something about a "national emergency" declaration — Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., took a field trip to the border. She found out that, yes, things are, like, really, really, bad! No one should be surprised that detention centers for illegal immigrants have been overwhelmed by the endless flow of hundreds of thousands of Central Americans, Mexicans and Haitians making their way here, throwing themselves and their children into the care of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which isn't equipped to handle the crushing volume of people. There simply isn't enough space and there aren't enough border agents to manage the inflow. Dems are Determined to Leave America Borderless. The Democrats continue to refuse to provide the funding for DHS to address the border crisis that exists along the dangerous and highly porous U.S./Mexican border while complaining about the conditions in which illegal aliens, particularly alien children, are being housed in detention facilities that were never designed to handle the number of aliens currently being housed within their over-crowded confines. Hundreds of Haitians, Africans wade through Rio Grande, stroll into USA — carrying luggage! Groups of hundreds of Africans, Haitians and others from Central and South America continue to trudge across the U.S.- Mexico border in record numbers, despite promises from Mexico to help stop the massive migration. Footage from the Del Rio Sector of the border in Texas shows scores are making their way in mini-caravans, with many arriving well-dressed in designer clothes, toting luggage and backpacks with their children in tow. Border Apprehensions Nosedive After President Trump's Mexico Deal. Apprehensions on the southern border have plummeted, following President Trump's historic deal with Mexico. According to leaked Department of Homeland Security data, apprehensions at the southern border dropped by 25-percent between May and June. This drop was corroborated by acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan on Friday, who attributed the change to President Trump's deal with Mexico in June. The deal called on Mexican officials to do more to stop the flow of illegal migration to the U.S. southern border. New El Salvadoran president says his country, not US, to blame for migrant deaths at border. The new president of El Salvador on Monday took responsibility for the June deaths of a father and daughter who drowned crossing the Rio Grande in a bid to reach the United States, saying the onus is on his government to make the country a safer place — and one where migration is "an option, not an obligation." Dunkin' dumps store owners for hiring undocumented workers. The world famous doughnut maker Dunkin', outraged that some franchises are not using the required E-Verify system to make sure its workers are documented, has moved to oust the owners and take over the restaurants. According to several reports, the Massachusetts-based breakfast and lunch restaurant, which recently changed its name from Dunkin' Donuts, has sued to stop those franchise owners from operating. The most recent suits were filed in Delaware and Pennsylvania, "amid what appears to be a crackdown on franchisees employment verification practices," according to Restaurant Business. Six-foot alligator presents deadly threat to migrants crossing the Rio Grande. Texas Border Patrol agents fear that a six-foot alligator who lives in the Rio Grande, which migrants swim across daily to get into the United States from Mexico, may carry out a deadly attack. Federal agents in Eagle Pass, Texas, have known about the reptile for several years, but say they have seen it more often in recent months at a section of the river where most migrants illegally cross in the region. House Democrats to Introduce Bill for More Refugee Admissions from Central America. As the immigration crisis at the border continues unabated with hundreds of thousands of migrants suffering and even dying on the treacherous trek through Mexico to the U.S. border, Democrats are blaming President Donald Trump and gearing up to introduce legislation to increase the number of refugees admitted to 100,000 a year. Bank of America Cuts Ties With Companies That Help Run Detention Centers. Bank of America joined JP Morgan and Wells Fargo by deciding not to do any business with private companies that help fund detention centers. Bank of America to cut ties with companies that help run immigrant detention centers, private prisons. Bank of America announced Wednesday that it would no longer finance operators of immigrant detention centers and private prisons. The bank has decided to "exit the relationships" it has with companies that provide detention services at the state and federal level and has been discussing the issue "for some time," according to a statement provided to USA TODAY. Illegals voting is abridgment (of our votes) too far. The Fourteenth Amendment, which spells out the basic qualifications for being eligible to vote in U.S. elections, contains references to both citizens and persons in the United States. This provides adequate justification for determining which persons are citizens. (Justice Roberts doesn't seem to agree. On the other hand, it doesn't matter if the question is on the Census or not because illegals can just lie, as they did about seeking asylum.) What will be important and even crucial is to have a way to determine if a given person is a citizen at voting time. [...] The reference to "right to vote" is limited not to protecting your right to go through the process of casting a vote, but to having the vote be fully counted, not just enumerated. When your vote is partially annulled by an illegally cast vote, your vote counts less. Democrat 2020 illegal immigration hysteria reaches new heights. In the words of Ronald Reagan, "a nation that cannot control its borders is not a nation." At one point, the Democrats correctly concurred with this aphorism. In the current crazed race to overthrow Trump, the law is suspended, criminality is absolved, and mendacious accusations are meted out. Far from genuinely caring about foreigners, these candidates will use them as ideological human shields to create an apocalyptic image of Republican rule. Who needs tangible solutions when warped thinking and panic-inducing narratives are the name of the general election game? DHS Expects Border Apprehensions To Decrease By 25%, Credits Trump's Deal With Mexico. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) expects apprehensions of illegal aliens to decline by 25% along the U.S. southern border in June and directly credited President Donald Trump's immigration deal with Mexico for the change. "It's become clear that over the past three weeks, since the administration reached a new agreement with Mexico, that we've seen a substantial increase in the number of interdictions on the Mexican southern border, and a sincere effort to address the transportation networks coming through Mexico," DHS Secretary Kevin McAleenan said to reporters Friday [6/28/2019]. 20 Times Breitbart Reported on Migrant Deaths During Obama-Biden Years and No One Cared. Former Vice President Joe Biden tweeted an image of a migrant father and daughter who had died on the U.S.-Mexico border and he attempted to link the deaths to cruelty from President Donald Trump. However, Breitbart News consistently reported on the deaths of hundreds of migrants along the border during the Obama-Biden administration — horrors that then-Vice President Biden never spoke about during his time in the White House. Military's mission doesn't include enforcement, so smugglers cross Rio Grande right in front of them. Does the United States military exist only to defend the borders of foreign countries in the Middle East or is it allowed to defend the borders of the U.S. against terrorist cartels, espionage, infiltrations, and smuggling? It might sound like an uncanny question given that our military was likely created exclusively to defend our own borders, but, according to one Homeland Security official I spoke to, the White House is still convinced that our own military cannot be used for what one would think of as the quintessential purpose of its existence. Actually, Joe Biden and the Obama Administration Deported More People Than Trump. It's true. In 2012, the Obama administration kicked 419,384 people out of the United States, a single-year record that still stands, despite two years (and counting) of Trump framing himself as America's border-guard-in-chief. Earlier this week, Trump tweeted that he would remove "millions" of illegal immigrants if given a second term in the White House — but last year Trump managed to deport merely 256,000 people. Those facts are problematic for the current debate over immigration policy, in which Democrats try to frame Trump as being unreasonably cruel towards immigrants — a title that Trump (and many of his supporters) seem pretty happy to embrace. TSA sending 650 airport screeners to U.S.-Mexico border. The Transportation Security Administration plans to send more than 650 airport screeners and federal air marshals to beef up protection along the U.S.-Mexico border. Latinos for Trump Break Out in 'Build the Wall' Chant at Pence's Miami Event. Chants of "build the wall" broke out at Tuesday's [6/25/2019] rollout of the Donald J. Trump for President Latino Coalition event in Miami, Florida. Vice President Mike Pence was headlining the launch of the Trump 2020 presidential campaign event when chanting broke out among what was described by New York Times Miami Bureau Chief Patricia Mazzei as a largely Cuban/Venezuelan/Nicaraguan American crowd, "Build the wall." Mexico Deploying 15,000 Troops To U.S. Border To Stop Illegal Immigration Into U.S. Mexican Secretary of Defense Luis Sandoval said on Monday that Mexico is deploying thousands of soldiers to the U.S.-Mexico border to help stop the massive flow of illegal immigration into the United States. "Mexico has deployed almost 15,000 troops to the US-Mexico border to curve migration flow," CNN reporter Nick Valencia tweeted. Mexico has deployed 15,000 troops to stop border crossings. Mexican Defense Minister Luis Cresencio Sandoval revealed the country has deployed just under 15,000 troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to help stop migrants from crossing. Sandoval revealed the numbers in a press conference with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. CNN's John King: Problems At The Border Didn't Start With Trump. CNN's John King took time Tuesday [6/25/2019] to note that problems at the U.S. border did not start with President Donald Trump. Democrats have criticized Trump and his administration for its immigration policies, as well as the treatment of migrants at the border. King said the U.S. faced many of the same problems under the Obama administration. Send The Illegals Back! Almost five years ago, I wrote about how then-president Barack Hussein Obama was a "deadbeat dad" to American children In his mission to fundamentally destroy America, not only did the Fallen Messiah attack Christians, whites and police, but he also abandoned America's black children. Along with the deceptive liberal media, he pretended to care about illegal alien "children" by bringing them by the thousands into our country for votes. For decades, RINO Republicans and godless Democrats have catered to illegals, exploiting them for power, politics and cheap labor — to the detriment of American society. For over 29 years, I've spoken out against illegal immigration on behalf of blacks who bear the brunt of the chaos brought by open borders. Illegal aliens and their children often end up in black communities, take black jobs, crowd their hospitals and schools, and fight with black children. Thread Reader: Illegal Immigration Hurts Black Americans Most. Claims that immigration enforcement equals racism ignore the reality that the group most likely to benefit from a tougher approach to immigration enforcement is young black men, who often compete with recent immigrants for low-skilled jobs. This dynamic played out recently at a large bakery in Chicago that supplies buns to McDonald's. Some 800 immigrant laborers, most of them from Mexico, lost their jobs last year after an audit by [ICE]. The Cloverhill Bakery, owned by Aryzta, a big Swiss food conglomerate, had to hire new workers, 80% to 90% of whom are African American. [...] [T]he new workers are paid $14 per hour, or $4 per hour more than the (illegal) immigrant workers. In this case, and in many others, the beneficiaries of immigration enforcement were working-class blacks, who are often passed over for jobs by unscrupulous employers. Pelosi On Enforcing Immigration Laws In U.S.: 'What's The Point?' Speaking at an event in Elmhurst, New York, Pelosi attacked President Donald Trump over the raids from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers that were scheduled to happen over the weekend but were delayed after sensitive information was leaked to the public about the locations of the raids. "When I saw that the president was going to have these raids, I mean it was so appalling," Pelosi said. "It's outside the circle of civilized human behavior to just be kicking down doors, splitting up families, and the rest of that, in addition to the injustices that are happening at the border. We have legislation to go forward to address those needs, but in terms of interior enforcement, what's the — what's the point?" [Video clip] Trump's Acting DHS Director Leaked Information on Planned ICE Raids to Sabotage Them? To put it simply, we're going to have a large-scale raid on illegals by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It's not cruel. It's not immoral. It's the right thing to do. It's the law. You cannot come here illegally, no matter how sad your sob story is — we have a new sheriff in town. It's time for these folks to go. The president tweeted about the planned raids last week, but they were postponed. Why? Well, from sources at DHS, acting director Kevin McAleenan leaked the plan in order to torpedo the raid. Cotton: If We Can't Deport Illegal Immigrants with Final Deportation Orders, 'Who Can We Deport?' Speaking on "Fox News Sunday," [6/23/2019] Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) there is "healthy skepticism" for dealing with Democrats on fixes to the immigration system, and "if you can't deport an illegal alien who has a valid and final order of removal that's adjudicated by an immigration judge, who can you deport?" ICE director tells Pirro real reason raids were halted. Confirms 'green light' to remove illegal immigrants. Acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Mark Morgan confirmed Saturday that blame for the unexpected delay in the agency's planned immigration raids partially rests with the media. "The media got a hold of some operational specifics, and they reported it," he said to Fox News host Judge Jeanine Pirro. "It's egregious and it puts the lives of the officers and agents at risk. The men and women at ICE are true American heroes. The president recognized that. He postponed it to protect them." He issued the confirmation hours after President Donald Trump announced an unexpected two-week postponement of immigration raids that were originally slated to occur Sunday [6/23/2019]. Trump's ICE raid deportation gambit [is] a trap that Dems have fallen into. [Scroll down] If there is no deal, Democrats lose. There is no meaningful constituency for ignoring lawful court orders. Trump can drive home the absurdity of demanding the abandonment of lawful court orders as the gateway to anarchy as few others could. Thus, there is no pressure on him to cave in and offer what Pelosi and the Dems want: some form of amnesty. 373,610 illegal aliens have received DACA renewal just since January 2018. New data posted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, posted by the California attorney general's office, confirms that 373,610 applications for Obama's illegal amnesty were renewed between January 10, 2018, and March 31, 2019. Why January 10? January 9, 2018, was the date a single California judge, William Alsup of the Northern District of California, issued an unprecedented injunction on Trump's order merely countermanding Obama's illegal amnesty, thereby forcing the president to violate numerous immigration laws. Now, as a result of the notion that any judge has that kind of power, over 373,000 people who came here illegally have access to Social Security cards, refundable tax credits, and a wealth of state benefits in certain states. Plus, 49,510 additional applications are still pending. Just 2,640 applications, or .007 percent, have been denied. The 16,000 migrants passing through San Antonio came with a cost. San Antonio's municipal government and nonprofit organizations have spent more than $600,000 assisting upwards of 16,000 migrants who showed up on their doorstep after being released from federal custody on the border since late March, and the city expects newcomers, including emigrants from Central Africa, to continue arriving in surges. Game over. Time to head south. Adios. Democrats make U-turn on calling border a 'manufactured crisis'. Democrats have done a U-turn on their claim from earlier this year that President Trump's concern about illegal immigration at the southern border was a "manufactured crisis." Democrats now acknowledge there is a genuine humanitarian crisis and are preparing to pass legislation that would provide as much as $4.5 billion in federal aid to address the surge of migrants from Central America. A surging number of arrests, media reports of smugglers renting children to desperate migrants to help them gain entry into the United States and stories of children dying in U.S. custody have changed the narrative. The Dems' 2020 Election Strategy. [Scroll down] We see the Democrats swear for decades to guard the border, build a wall, and protect the endangered lower economic class and African Americans from a swarm of cheap labor, until the Democrats figure out that the lower economic class and African Americans are in their pockets anyway, while the New Illegals actually turn Republican strongholds into Democrat states. So we turn to Republicans, who promise to fix the border. Next thing you know, the capitalist big business "Chambers of Commerce" are in cahoots with the Left, importing the same Illegals for cheap labor. 'Obama built the cages': Trump tells Telemundo that he inherited the migrant crisis. President Trump doubled down on his prior assertion that the migrant crisis at the southern border of the United States was a problem he inherited from the previous administration, in an interview that aired Thursday night [6/20/2019] on Telemundo, his first on a Spanish-language network. "Obama built the cages. I didn't build them," Trump said. "Obama separated; I'm the one who brought them together." Texas gained almost nine Hispanic residents for every additional white resident last year. The gap between Texas' Hispanic and white populations continued to narrow last year when the state gained almost nine Hispanic residents for every additional white resident. With Hispanics expected to become the largest population group in Texas as soon as 2022, new population estimates released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau showed the Hispanic population climbed to nearly 11.4 million — an annual gain of 214,736 through July 2018 and an increase of 1.9 million since 2010. Acting ICE Director: ICE [is] Deporting Illegals with Final Removal Orders from Judges. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will begin deporting illegal immigrants who have final removal orders from immigration judges, acting ICE Director Mark Morgan said Wednesday [6/19/2019]. Speaking to "Fox & Friends," Morgan said President Donald Trump "has been very clear" that he "wants to maintain integrity in the system, make sure that we enforce the rule of law and address this crisis that we have on the southwest border." Mexico pledges 6K troops to help combat illegal immigration amid heightened pressure from U.S. Mexico is planning to deploy thousands of troops to its southern border amid heightened pressure from the Trump administration to crack down on the Central American migrant crisis. According to Mexican officials Monday [6/17/2019], the country has already sent over 400 military personnel to the town of Tapachula near its border with Guatemala this past week. "Since Saturday 426 soldiers from the National Guard have arrived in Tapachula," announced Maximilano Reyes, Mexican Undersecretary of State for Latin America and the Caribbean. New York Democrats [Give] 250,000 Illegal Alien Drivers to Uber, Delivery Companies. The New York state assembly has gifted Uber, DoorDash, Amazon, and business groups a huge new supply of 250,000 illegal immigrant drivers, so depressing wages for the many Americans and legal immigrants who earn their wages by delivering people, cargo, and food to their destinations. The new labor supply will partly counter President Donald Trump's "Hire American" immigration policies that are now forcing up Americans' wages. "Wages are rising at the fastest rate in many decades ... [and] they're rising the fastest for the lowest-income Americans," President Donald Trump said at his June 18 campaign-opener in Florida. Who's Paying African Migrants At Our Border? Swiss Journalist Asks The Questions Our Media Won't. How did they get here? Who helped them get here? Hundreds of Congolese illegal aliens have come to the U.S. border seeking asylum. You would think our media would be asking questions about how they got here and who helped them but our media ignores the border invasion. It took a Swiss investigative journalist to look into this curious flow of Congolese. Q&A: Congolese migrants in San Antonio say journey to US took 6 months. U.S. authorities in one area of the southern border are apprehending more asylum-seekers from Central African countries than any year on record as hundreds arrive each week, seeking refuge in the United States from an outbreak of war in the region. Citizens of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Republic of the Congo, and Angola are being released by Border Patrol in Eagle Pass, Texas, and surrounding communities. From Eagle Pass, migrants are purchasing bus and van tickets to get to the closest large city, San Antonio, as the Washington Examiner witnessed Monday [6/17/2019] at bus stations. Yes, illegal immigrants who break our laws twice deserve Trump's threatened deportation. President Trump's renewed pledge to deport huge numbers of illegal immigrants is inspiring anger, but it's hardly righteous. If, as a Homeland Security adviser has explained, the targets of Trump's deportation plans will be those illegal immigrants who have failed to show for their assigned court hearings, then Trump is morally, ethically, and legally justified in deporting them. The tut-tutting chorus might as well spare us their faux moral histrionics. The immigrants Trump is targeting are people who have broken American law not once but twice. State Dept. Suspends $200 Million Enhanced Aid for El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras Pending Illegal Migration Enforcement. While previously pledged support for the Northern Triangle region related to Homeland Security and combating organized crime will continue, the State Department suspends any further financial assistance ($200 million) until the migration crisis is resolved. Immigration: One Place Where the USA Should Follow Canada's Example. In Canada, there is agreement that immigration policy must be a primary driver of future economic growth and is considered a necessity because the country has a population of only thirty-seven million people as of 2018. Created in 1967, Canada's well managed merit based and economic driven immigration policy assigns points to prospective newcomers for job skills, education, a work offer, and language proficiency. There also is an attempt to recruit foreign workers with the skills required to fill jobs that cannot be filled by current Canadian workers. Their system is not based on country of origin, rather, it is driven primarily by the merits of the individual candidates applying to emigrate to Canada and their potential future contribution as productive citizens and their ability to integrate into society. Trump Withholding Hundreds of Millions in Aid to Central America as Immigration Crisis Rages On. President Donald Trump is officially withholding hundreds of millions in U.S. aid to three Central American countries as punishment for being much of the source of the current illegal immigration crisis. The White House informed Congress Monday [6/17/2019] that it will permanently divert $370 million in aid to El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, according to Reuters. That money was previously approved by Congress for fiscal year 2018, but had not yet been used. Trump is not stopping there. The administration is also suspending $180 million that was approved in fiscal year 2017 that had not yet been spent. Trump says U.S. agency will begin removing millions of illegal immigrants. President Donald Trump said on Monday that U.S. authorities would begin next week removing millions of immigrants who are in the United States illegally. [...] There are an estimated 12 million immigrants who are in the United States illegally, mainly from Mexico and Central America. Trump: ICE Will Begin Process of Removing Millions of Illegal Aliens in U.S. Next Week. President Trump made a rather stunning announcement on Twitter Monday night [6/17/2019] regarding the fate of the millions of migrants who are currently residing in the United States illegally. "Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States. They will be removed as fast as they come in. Mexico, using their strong immigration laws, is doing a very good job of stopping people..." the president tweeted. Trump: ICE Will Remove Millions Of Illegal Immigrants From U.S. President Donald Trump said Monday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will begin mass deportations of illegal immigrants starting next week. The president indicated that ICE intends on attempting to remove the millions of illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S. According to a Pew Research Center study released last week, 10.5 million "unauthorized" immigrants lived in the U.S. in 2017. "Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States," Trump tweeted late Monday night. "They will be removed as fast as they come in." Peter Navarro: Trump's Tariffs Accomplished More in Two Days Than Congress in 20 Years. During an appearance on "Sunday Morning Futures" on Fox News Channel, senior White House trade adviser Peter Navarro praised the tariffs used by President Donald Trump. According to Navarro, the tariffs achieved more in two days on immigration than Congress was able to accomplish in 20 years. [Video clip] Ninth Circuit attempts to reverse deportation order for illegal alien. More than ten years ago, ICE raided a manufacturing plant in Los Angeles where it was suspected that the employer was hiring illegal aliens. They had a warrant and discovered well over 100 illegals working at the facility. They were all taken into custody and the process of deporting them began. But now, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that one of the men (who admitted to being in the country illegally at the time of the raid) should not be deported. This is being hailed by the ACLU as a victory for "immigrants" over the forces of ICE. Congress shirks its duty at the southern border. The Trump administration is doing just about everything it can to slow the flood of undocumented Mexicans and Central Americans coming to the U.S. and claiming asylum. But alleviating our growing border crisis is impossible unless Congress changes our immigration laws. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, was right when he said Tuesday [6/11/2019] during a congressional hearing on border security that there is "absolutely no justification whatsoever for Congress to sit on the sidelines and watch as this crisis continues to unfold." The emergency on the border is "getting worse and worse as Congress sits on its hands and does absolutely nothing" to help. Cloward-Piven Strategy. The Cloward-Piven Strategy was an example of what are commonly called Trojan Horse initiatives — mass movements whose outward purpose seems to be providing material help to the downtrodden, but whose real objective is to draft poor people into service as revolutionary foot soldiers; to mobilize poor people en masse in an effort to overwhelm government agencies with a flood of demands beyond the capacity of those agencies to meet. Cloward and Piven calculated that the flood of demands which they were recommending would break the budget, jam the bureaucratic gears into gridlock, and bring the system crashing down. Fear, turmoil, violence and economic collapse would accompany such a breakdown — providing perfect conditions for fostering radical change. That was the theory. African migrants pass through San Antonio and swiftly fan out across the country. Roughly 300 Congolese and Angolan citizens who arrived in San Antonio the first week of June after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border days earlier have all briskly departed the city for destinations across the country, some with fuzzy plans based partly on hope. The hundreds of family members and single adults from Central Africa first showed up June 4 at the southern border's Eagle Pass and Del Rio towns in south-central Texas. The migrants surrendered to Border Patrol agents and claimed asylum after crossing the Rio Grande. Red carpet unavailable? The Editor says... Pew: Illegal Alien Population Booms in Red States Ahead of 2020 Election. The illegal alien population has boomed in at least three red states won by President Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, new analysis reveals. Pew Research Center analysis finds that in Louisiana, North Dakota, and South Dakota — three states that went overwhelmingly for Trump over failed Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election — the illegal alien population has increased over the last ten years. ICE Arrests 140 Illegal Aliens, 42 with Criminal Records, in Midwest Raid. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency has arrested 140 illegal aliens, nearly a third of which have criminal records, in a five-day raid across multiple Midwest states. ICE agents last conducted a raid across Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, and Wisconsin that resulted in the arrest of 140 illegal aliens, five of whom were women and the other 135 of whom were men. Democrats Block Emergency Funding for Border Crisis. Democratic Senator Pat Leahy bluntly told GOP Senators that Democrats are blocking $4.5 billion needed to manage the Central American migration emergency until Republicans submit to their pro-migration demands. DHS chief reveals startling stat on asylum seekers who skip hearings, disappear. The acting Homeland Security secretary gave lawmakers a glimpse Tuesday into just how many asylum seekers skip their hearings after being released into the United States — telling a Senate panel that a recent program found 90 percent miss their court dates. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., asked Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan how many asylum seekers coming across the southern border show up for their hearings. Feds lost track of criminal alien informants: inspector general. Federal law enforcement agencies knowingly invite foreigners, often with lengthy criminal records, into the U.S., sponsoring them for visas on the hope they'll help out with an investigation. But in dozens of those cases the government has lost track of the people and agents were slow in reporting them to Homeland Security, allowing the trail to go cold in efforts to track down, according to a Justice Department inspector general's report released Wednesday [6/12/2019]. From 2015 to 2017 the Justice Department sponsored roughly 5,500 immigrants for deferred deportation, an S visa or parole into the U.S. Texas town overrun with crime and disease. The mayor has had enough. Uvalde is a small town of 17,000 inhabitants, and they are now overrun by illegal immigrants and an international cartel smuggling operation. Uvalde is 40-60 miles from the border, but it might as well be right at the border. "We are in no man's land. The state is not doing anything; the federal government is not doing anything," the mayor, who is begging the politicians to get involved, said. "We are getting nothing. I've lived here all my life and have never seen anything like this. The people in the communities are getting scared. What is coming that we don't see? Who knows? People up north and in D.C. have no clue what is going on here. They don't realize that these people are not being screened for diseases. We're fed up." Situated at the crossroads of major highways coming up from border towns in the Laredo and Del Rio border sectors, Uvalde has now become a dumping ground for migrants coming north. And they are not just coming from Central America. The Homeless, Illegals, and the Politics of Virtue Signaling. We have no idea how many of the homeless are illegal immigrants, but we do know that homeless shelters in big cities will not cooperate with blanket ICE searches for illegals. Shelter workers are trained to request a warrant for a specific individual, and without that, they are told to keep ICE at bay. The extent to which the ACLU and pro-illegal immigration organizations have gone to educate homeless shelters about how to deal with ICE indicates that the presence of illegals in these shelters is not insignificant. Shelters are all-too-often in lesser supply than the demand for accommodations, especially during winter in brutal climes in places like Chicago. Invasion: ICE [has been] forced to release more than 200,000 migrants into U.S. since December. In every sense, Democrats and the courts — not the Trump administration — are in charge of immigration and border policy, as evidenced by the massive invasion of migrants that have been released into the interior of the country since the beginning of the year. On Sunday [6/9/2019], Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" morning program that some 200,000 migrants have been released by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) since December because the agency simply has no choice. Mexican Authorities Begin Arresting Illegals Riding "The Beast" Train to US. Mexican military officials reportedly have started targeting foreigners riding "The Beast" train on their way to the US southern border. This was the first operation of its kind since Mexico and the US signed an agreement on Friday to stop the invasion at the US southern border. Trump Deal with Mexico Likely Ends Catch-and-Release, Defunds Cartels. President Donald Trump has announced an immigration reform deal with the Mexican government which likely will allow border officials to end the catch-and-release of Central American migrants. Ending catch-and-release is a huge win for Americans and Trump because it means border officials now have a legal alternative to the catch-and-release rules which allow migrants to legally enter the United States if they bring children and claim asylum. Trump Breaks Mexico: New Deal Reached, Mexico To Take Action Against Illegal Immigration Into U.S. President Donald Trump announced late on Friday [6/7/2019] that the United States has reached a new agreement with Mexico in which Mexico is going to take "strong measures" to end the flow of illegal immigration into the United States and will thus avoid being hit with massive tariffs by the Trump administration. Trump's hardball on Mexico is working. Risky as President Trump's tariff threat tactic on Mexico is, it appears to be... working. Trump's hardball has gotten Mexico to deploy some serious measures to keep the migrant surge into the U.S. from becoming a flood. Somehow, a trade treaty works best when there's a security treaty underlying it, and Mexico thus far seems to recognize this. The markets, by the way, are noticing. Mexico Withholds Identities of Migrant Caravan Funders in U.S., Britain. Mexican authorities are not releasing the names of the 26 individuals and entities whose assets were frozen as part of a new probe into migrant caravans and cartel-linked human smuggling organizations. The investigation was moved into high gear this week as tensions between the U.S. and Mexico escalated over tariff threats as a punitive measure for lax immigration enforcement. On Thursday [6/6/2019], Mexico's Finance and Tax Secretariat (SHCP) announced the seizure of 26 accounts, including some from the United Kingdom and the U.S., which allegedly helped fund the northbound migrant caravans largely from Central America. Kris Kobach Praises Trump Over Mexico Strategy. Former Kansas Attorney General and staunch border security advocate Kris Kobach joined FOX and Friends this morning [6/7/2019] to discuss President Trump's proposed tariffs on Mexico. Kris Kobach praised Trump for being the first president to actually get Mexico to do something to stop the flow into the US. [Video clip] Ending privileges for illegal aliens. Fun time is over for illegal aliens in custody. The Washington Post reported, "The Trump administration is canceling English classes, recreational programs, and legal aid for unaccompanied minors staying in federal migrant shelters nationwide." This nonsense began when Carlos Holguín, a lawyer who represents illegal aliens (more on that later), sued the Clinton administration. It was a sue-and-settle suit in which Democrats gave liberals what they wanted, which a judge approved. Holguín is upset. [...] I expect an Obama judge will enjoin the government, and an appellate court will overrule. That has been the pattern so far. [The] Illegal Alien Invasion [is] Part Of [the] Left's Plan to Control [the] Electoral College. Following the loss of the 2016 election, Democrats are scrambling to make sure they control the electoral college the next time round. Illegal aliens could be a big part of their plan. [Video clip] As Illegal Immigration Skyrockets, The Border Crisis Spins Out Of Control. The big border headline this week was that U.S. authorities arrested or turned away more than 144,000 people at the southwest border in May, including more than 100,000 family units and children, far exceeding previous monthly totals this year and putting us on pace for illegal immigration levels not seen in 13 years. The U.S. Border Patrol apprehended on average 4,200 people a day last month and now has more than 19,000 people in custody. These numbers tell us the migrant crisis is deepening, despite efforts by the Trump administration and the Mexican government to contain it. But beyond the numbers is something yet more disturbing, a reality not often reflected in media coverage of the crisis: the border itself is spinning out of control. Two migrant rights' activists arrested for human trafficking. Two advocates for migrants' rights were arrested for human trafficking Wednesday [6/5/2019], while federal finance officials yesterday blocked the bank accounts of 26 people allegedly involved in the same crime. Irineo Mujica, director of a migrant advocacy organization that has helped several large migrant caravans cross Mexico, was arrested in Sonoyta, Sonora, at about the same time activist Cristóbal Sánchez was detained outside his home in the Mexico City borough of Xochimilco. Mexico deploys military to curb migration, reportedly offers major concessions as Trump tariffs loom. With just days to go until the Trump administration is set to impose punishing tariffs on Mexico unless the country halts the unprecedented flow of illegal immigrants across the southern border, numerous signs that Mexico would capitulate emerged Thursday [6/6/2019] — but it remained unclear Friday morning [6/7/2019] whether their efforts would satisfy the White House. Reports in the evening indicated that Mexico's negotiators with Washington have offered to immediately deploy 6,000 National Guard troops to the border with Guatemala. Additionally, Mexico has reportedly agreed to a major overhaul of reasonable asylum protocols, which would require asylum applicants to seek permanent refuge in the first country they arrive in after fleeing their home countries. New border surge prompts 10% jump in 2019 prediction to 1,072,000 illegal immigrants. Calling the surprising May surge in illegal immigrant arrests on the border the "worst case scenario," a top immigration analyst has boosted the expected level of crossings 10%, to over 1 million. U.S. Customs and Border Protection on Wednesday [6/5/2019] revealed that May apprehensions topped 144,000. This year has seen 676,315 apprehensions so far, up 99% over this time last year. That shocked immigration officials who had hoped it would drop in part due to the Trump administration's get tough efforts on the border and the potentially deadly heat migrants encounter traveling through northern Mexico. DHS Frees 5.5K Illegal Aliens into U.S. in a Week; 196K Released in 5 Months. President Trump's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released about 5,500 border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the United States over the past seven days, federal data confirms. From May 28 to June 3, DHS released 5,500 border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities in various states across the country. The latest federal data, obtained by Breitbart News, finds that DHS, in the last week, released nearly 800 border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. every single day. Texas Teacher Fired for Asking Trump on Twitter to Remove Illegal-Immigrant Students. A high-school teacher in Texas was fired this week after asking President Trump for his assistance in removing illegal-immigrant students from her school, in what she thought were private tweets. Georgia Clark, who taught English at the Carter-Riverside High School for 20 years, was fired on Tuesday [6/4/2019] after eight members of the school board voted unanimously in favor of her termination. The vote came three weeks after Clark asked the president to deport students she believed to be in the country illegally. Feds: No more education, legal services for immigrant kids. The federal government has stopped paying for English-language courses and legal services at facilities that hold immigrant children around the country, imposing budget cuts it says are necessary at a time when record numbers of unaccompanied children are arriving at the border. Border Agency Buying 2.2 Million Diapers to Help Migrants. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency is buying 2.2 million diapers to help deliver economic migrants and their young children into Americans' worksites, schools, and neighborhoods, according to an online contract request. The purchase implements the welcome policy set by a bipartisan panel in Congress, which in February directed the Department of Homeland Security to help the migrants — despite the impact on Americans' wages, schools, and neighborhoods — instead of helping Americans by giving the agency the legal authority needed to block the migration. Mexican armed forces meets migrants at [Mexico's] southern border. Mexican soldiers, armed police and migration officials blocked hundreds of migrants after they crossed the border from Guatemala in a caravan into southern Mexico on Wednesday [6/5/2019], and detained dozens of them, a witness from a migrant aid group and an official said. The Mexican response in the border town of Metapa, which included dozens of soldiers, marked a toughening of the government's efforts to curb the flow of mainly Central American migrants, said Salva Cruz, a coordinator with Fray Matias de Cordova. Mexico Claims Some Migrant Caravan Funding Came from U.S., England. Mexican tax officials froze the assets of 26 individuals and entities they allege are tied to human smuggling organizations or to promoting Central American migrant caravans. The caravans moved thousands of individuals from the "northern triangle" through Mexico to the U.S. border. The funding for the migrant caravans allegedly came from the U.S., England, Africa, and Central America. Through a prepared statement, Mexico's Finance and Tax Secretariat (SHCP) announced the freezing of the accounts claiming the move resulted from an investigation by their Financial Intelligence Unit (UIF). Mexican Officials Reject any Proposal Requiring Them to Keep Migrants in Mexico. The hypocrisy and ideology of the Mexican position would indicate the tariffs are certain to take place. Factually, after Mexico has made their "red line" position clear, one could argue there's no reason to go through the graduated timeline; the U.S. might as well just start applying the full 25% tariff amount on June 10th. The Democrats are preventing Trump from securing the border. President Donald Trump has announced that he will impose a 5 percent tariff on goods imported from Mexico on June 10, 2019, unless Mexico takes effective action before then to dramatically reduce the number of Central American migrants crossing its territory to reach the United States. If the crisis continues, Trump said he will raise the tariff every month until it reaches 25 percent in October. This is a dramatic shift from his previous border security measures, such as a border wall. The money for those projects would have come from federal taxes. Voters wouldn't have been impacted directly. The tariff, however, will raise the cost of groceries, cars, and many other consumer goods. Voters will notice, and they won't be happy about it. Mexico Is an Asylum Free-Rider. President Trump's threat to impose tariffs on Mexican goods starting next week may or may not get Mexico to be more cooperative in preventing third-country "asylum-seekers" from passing through on the way to our border. I'm not too concerned about the costs that such a tariff would impose on U.S. businesses and consumers (which would be real), because the costs would be worth it if the tactic were actually to work. I'm skeptical it will, since Mexico always has a chip on its shoulder with regard to us. But recent signs suggest I might be pleasantly surprised. Here's hoping. Perhaps more important than the means, however, are the desired ends. House Dems Pass Mass Amnesty Bill. House Democrats voted 237-187 Tuesday [6/4/2019] to pass a bill that, if entered into law, would grant amnesty to an estimated 2.5 million illegally resident people. They also blocked a proposed change to the bill from Republicans, which could have helped reduce illegal immigration by funding border crisis relief to the tune of $4.5 billion. H.R. 6, the American Dream and Promise Act, made it to the floor following a contentious intraparty debate over its contours in the House Judiciary Committee. If passed into law, the bill would create a path to citizenship for three distinct groups of illegally resident individuals who have been heretofore protected from deportation by separate government programs. The Editor says... Trump's Tariff Gambit. President Trump's threat to impose tariffs on all Mexican imports until Mexico takes serious action to control its border with the U.S. shocked the Washington Beltway, Wall Street, and the Palacio Nacional in Mexico City. These centers of financial and political power, lulled by a U.S. Congress that has refused to act and activist federal judges who have stymied Trump's border control efforts at every step, were jolted awake by Trump's ultimatum. But they should not have been surprised. The president issued a similar threat back in April. And, Trump promised from day one of his presidential campaign that he would make stanching the flow of illegal immigration, crime, and drugs northward and of U.S. factories and jobs southward a focal point of his presidency[.] Mass Immigration and the Subversive Libertarian-Right. President Trump last week announced his intention to impose a 5 percent tariff, effective June 10, on all Mexican imports. The president's move is a response to Mexico's apparent unwillingness or inability to stop the flow of illegal immigration from its side of the border into ours. [...] Trump has characterized the state of mass immigration as an "invasion" that has brought our system to a "breaking point." Plenty of analysts, Left and Right, agree. [...] Not only do we have troops at the border now, but on the same day Bier called on Mexico to open the floodgates from Central America, a U.S. Marine fired his weapon while on duty along the southern border. The Marine reported he had been attacked inside his vehicle by three people. Around the same time, a mob of angry Hondurans attacked the U.S. embassy in Tegucigalpa. Technically, this was an act of war. [David J.] Bier doesn't seem to mind. Just in time for the border surge: Democrats hand out amnesty to 2 million DREAMers. To the shouts of "Si, se puede!" House Democrats voted Tuesday [6/4/2019] to hand out an unconditional amnesty to more than 2 million illegal immigrants known as DREAMers, along with two other categories of illegal migrants, sending a message abroad that the border's open and path to the citizenship comes free. That's some message to send during an ongoing border surge. The Editor says... Obama Border Official: 'These Numbers Are a Crisis'. Former commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection Gil Kerlikowske told CNN anchor Poppy Harlow on Monday [6/3/2019] that the number of migrants crossing the border constitutes a crisis. "So this is a crisis, and for anyone on either side of the policy aisle that said it's not a crisis, these numbers are a crisis and the workload is tremendous," said Kerlikowske, who served in the Obama administration. U.S. officials have said that border agents are overwhelmed by the number of migrants crossing the border. Border apprehensions hit a record high last month with 98,977 arrests. On Wednesday, border agents apprehended a group of 1,036 migrants illegally crossing from Mexico, the largest group arrested this fiscal year. The first large group of 116 migrants from AFRICA are caught on video wading across the Rio Grande to illegally enter the U.S. Shocking video has emerged showing the first large group of migrants from Africa wading across the Rio Grande River to illegally enter the United States. The video shared by the Customs and Border Protection shows a group of 116 people from Angola, Cameroon and the Congo walking through the waist-deep water into Texas. Male and female adults are seen making the laborious trek with children clinging onto their shoulders on Thursday. Perfect storm brews in Portland Maine as Mayor, Council welcome illegals. Currently, there are three major factors leading up to the storm in Portland. All three involve illegal immigration: [#1] Portland has had an incredible influx of illegal immigrants over the last few years. [#2] Immigrants are supported by a heavily strained, taxpayer-funded city welfare system. [#3] City officials are encouraging the situation while being unable to provide satisfactory solutions to the problems they have created. Trump: Mexico is an 'abuser' of the United States. President Trump called Mexico an "abuser" of the United States. He warned that if Mexican government does not do more to "stop the invasion of our Country," his newly-imposed tariffs on Mexican goods would force companies based in Mexico to be "brought back" into the U.S. Surge of Bangladeshi Migrants with Bogus Passports Causing US to Rely on Dental Exams. An influx of Bangladeshi and other illegal migrants carrying fake identification is forcing U.S. officials to rely on dental examinations to determine their ages. Border Patrol apprehension of Bangladeshi migrants hit 1,203 in fiscal year 2018, a rise of 109% from the previous year, according to data compiled by the Los Angeles Times. Between fiscal year 2017 and 2018, the number of Bangladeshi minors in the custody of Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) climbed 221%. Mexico Says It Is Holding Back 250K Migrants amid Tariff Threat. Mexico's top diplomats issued a veiled threat to the U.S. government suggesting that without their efforts, 250,000 more Central American migrants could proceed north. The statement follows President Donald Trump's threat of raising a 5 percent tariff if Mexico does not strengthen its borders. On Monday evening [6/3/2019], Mexico's Foreign Relations Secretariat posted a statement claiming the country was effectively providing humanitarian visas to Central American migrants and strengthening immigration enforcement operations in southern Mexico. 'First large group' from Africa wades across Rio Grande into US. A group of illegals from Angola, Cameroon and Congo waded across the Rio Grande River and into the United States, video from Customs and Border Protection shows. The video shows male and female adults walking through the water and into Texas, several with children on their shoulders. Very Large Group of African Migrants Wade Across the Rio Grande Into US. US Customs and Border Protection posted a video of a group of illegal aliens from Angola, Cameroon and Ebola-stricken Congo wading across the Rio Grande into the United States. The video shows men, women and children crossing the river in the dead of the night. Border Patrol announced they apprehended 116 invaders from Africa on Thursday [5/30/2019]. President Trump Question: "Are the Drug Lords, Cartels & Coyotes really running Mexico?". Everyone knows the truthful answer to that question is a resounding YES, Mexico is a narco-state controlled by drug cartels and political system of bribes and payoffs therein. The most recent evidence was in testimony within the El Chapo Guzman trial, where witnesses testified to paying-off government officials, including the former President of Mexico. [...] What makes Trump's direct-speak so powerful is the brutal honesty of it. Never in our lives have we witnessed a President so forcefully broadcasting the truth without regard for recipient discomfort. Not Many Companies Actually Get Busted for Hiring Illegal Immigrants, Study Finds. A new study finds that, despite a record-setting number of immigrants illegally entering the country, relatively few employers are prosecuted for hiring undocumented aliens. From April 2018 to March 2019, only 11 individuals were prosecuted for knowingly employing migrants without proper documentation, according to information compiled by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. No individuals have been prosecuted in the past two months, and no companies were prosecuted in the last year. Border Patrol Agents Apprehend Large Group in Del Rio. U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Del Rio Station apprehended a large group of 116 individuals Thursday [5/30/2019]. "Large groups present a unique challenge for the men and women of the Del Rio Sector," said Chief Raul Ortiz. "This large group from Africa further demonstrates the complexity and severity of the border security and humanitarian crisis at our Southwest border." Agents performing line watch operations apprehended the group after they illegally crossed the Rio Grande into the U.S. around 10:30 p.m. DHS Chief: 80,000 Migrants in Custody, 100,000 More Approaching. The U.S. government is holding 80,000 migrants in custody, says Kevin McAleenan, the acting secretary for the Department of Homeland Security. "The situation is both a humanitarian and border security crisis that has become a national emergency," McAleenan said in a telephone press conference on Thursday night [5/30/2019]. Trump cracks down on exploiting illegal aliens. In his appearance before the American Federation of Teachers, in which he fondled a 10-year-old girl, Joe Biden waxed poetically about how coyotes help immigrants make it to the United States like his great-great-great-grandfather did. The reality is coyotes rape women and children. Amnesty International said two-thirds of the women are raped along the way. Sasha G. Lewis wrote, "Slave Trade Today: American Exploitation of Illegal Aliens." In 1979. Let us not pretend that the exploitation of illegal aliens is anything less than a multi-billion-dollar industry that pays off rent-to-own politicians like Biden. Texas struggles to keep pace as thirst for water intensifies. As the planet warms and weather patterns turn more extreme, droughts — as well as floods — in the state generally have worsened. Meanwhile, the state population is expected to double by 2050 to more than 50 million people. The Editor says... Nearly 9-in-10 Illegal Aliens Recently Released into U.S. [are] Not Showing Up to Court Hearings. Nearly 9-in-10 illegal aliens who have been recently released into the interior of the United States while they await their asylum hearings are not showing up to their court dates, according to a federal pilot program. For almost half a year, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ramped up its catch and release of border crossers and illegal aliens, specifically those arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border with children. The Calming Feeling as Jew-Hate Now Takes Deeper Root in the Democrat Party. It now is commonplace to recognize that Democrats — including Obama, Biden, Schumer, Clinton, and all the rest of them — all strongly supported building a border wall and keeping out Illegals. Biden even complained openly about "corrupt Mexico." It was a key part of the Democrat program, dating back to the days of California's Hispanic union leader Cesar Chavez, that the Illegals must be kept out because they take jobs from the economic underclass and bring down their wages by eagerly working for crumbs. Democrat Orthodoxy taught that the party had to protect African Americans and union workers from the influx of uncontrolled cheap labor. And then the Democrats did some vote counting. They realized that they have the African-American voting population in their pockets anyway. They assumed that the White union workers never would leave either, since union bosses are well provided for by the Democrats. At the same time, the Democrats came to realize that an influx of Illegals rapidly would change the American electorate. They were right. They have changed the electorate in the California that once elected Nixon and Reagan. They have changed Colorado and New Mexico. They are changing Nevada and Arizona. They even are aiming at Texas. So they sold out African Americans — as they always do — and White union workers for a greater payoff at the voting booths. Sewage flowing from Tijuana completely closes Imperial Beach shoreline. A beach closure that has been in place for months for the southern part of the Imperial Beach was extended Sunday to include the city's entire shoreline. The San Diego County Department of Environment Health issued the order to close the coastline to swimmers as a result of sewage-contaminated runoff in the Tijuana River. Signs warning residents of the contamination will be in place until testing indicates the water is safe for recreational use. '100%' of illegal immigrant families [are being] released into U.S.: DHS. Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan said Thursday [5/23/2019] that "100%" of illegal immigrant families in the new border surge are being released into communities, rather than being held and deported. He said within a month or two, they are also granted work permits, giving them a foothold to live and remain in the U.S. while their cases proceed through the immigration courts — a process that averages two years, and stretches even longer in some overwhelmed regions. Mr. McAleenan said that system rewarding unauthorized migrants who jump the border with exactly the thing they seek is responsible for the record-breaking numbers. California Liberals Can Beat Climate Change by Stopping Illegal Immigration. Climate change and illegal immigration are the two biggest crises that we hear about on the news today. What may come as a surprise is that there is a significant link between these two. [...] If there are 350,000 people illegally immigrating to the United States each year, each of whom results in 10 metric tons more of CO2 emissions per year, this results in an additional 3.5 million metric tons produced in the first year. As 350,000 more people illegally immigrate to the United States each year, the problem grows geometrically. In ten years, the additional 3,500,000 people in the United States result in an additional 35 million metric tons of CO2 per year. In 30 years, the additional 10,500,000 people in the United States result in an additional 105 million metric tons of CO2 per year. Reps. Roy, Jordan, Biggs: Pelosi, Dems just don't care about our national emergency. House Democrats spent two years in the minority last Congress admonishing Republicans for not doing enough to protect and care for migrant children crossing the nation's southern border. Now in the majority with control over the House floor, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her conference are poised to let funding for the Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) program run out. Why? They never cared in the first place. White House OMB Director Russ Vought sent congressional leadership a letter May 1 requesting $4.5 billion in emergency funding, citing an unfolding "humanitarian and security crisis" that is becoming "more dire each day." While Vought's request included funding for additional ICE beds, resources to care for migrants, including mothers and children, who are apprehended by law enforcement, the majority was for humanitarian aid, which includes the care and placement of unaccompanied alien children, otherwise known as the UAC program. Never seen before! "We've Lost Control of the Border, as we are right now". During an interview with Fox News Channel's 'Outnumbered', U.S. Border Patrol Agent Hector Garza, in his role as vice-president of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC), told Harris Faulkner, "We've lost control of the border, as we are right now." Cartels are in complete control of our borders and the massive illegal immigration. The border patrol has caught over 500,000 illegal entrants since January. At least as many crossed and were not caught. 'The Land of the Free' can still be a nation of stronger borders and immigration laws. Our broken immigration system is what got Donald Trump elected president. [...] Trump's proposal is moderate in that it aims to shift the composition of immigration without reducing the flow. Trump would scrap the diversity lottery and curtail chain migration. This is sensible. Chain migration is the undesired outcome of "family reunification" visas. If you think of family reunification, you may picture an immigrant who comes here, gains citizenship, and is then able to bring his wife and young children behind with him. Under Trump's proposal, that would remain unchanged. What would go would be the categories of "family reunification" visas that lead to the massive chain: parents of noncitizens, those parents' other adult children, those other adult children's spouses, and thus their parents, and so on. (Trump's proposal goes too far by ending reunification visas for the spouses and minor children of legal immigrants who are not yet citizens.) Trump would also scrap the diversity lottery and shift hundreds of thousands of visas over to a skill-based visa program. What's It Gonna Be, A Welfare State or Open Borders? After the Civil War, several states passed their own immigration laws. In 1875 the Supreme Court stepped in declaring immigration to be a federal responsibility. As a result, as immigration rose in the 1880s, with economic conditions worsening in some areas, Congress began passing immigration legislation. In this period, certain aliens were prohibited from entering the United States by the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and by the Alien Contract Labor Laws of 1885 and 1887. The latter prohibited the importation and migration of foreigners and aliens under contract or agreement to perform labor in the United States. The Immigration Act of 1882 levied a head tax of fifty cents on each immigrant and excluded (worded from the .gov website) idiots, lunatics, convicts, and persons likely to become a government charge (people that cannot take care of themselves). Poll
finds most Americans don't realize how bad the border crisis is. Here's the rundown for all Americans to equip
themselves with the information needed to grasp the state America finds itself in now:
Things Are Getting So Desperate At The Border, They're Deploying The TSA. The Department of Homeland Security is "retasking" hundreds of Transportation Security Administration employees to the United States-Mexico border to assist with the frontline immigration process in an effort to relieve some of the pressure on United States Customs and Border Patrol, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Border agents spend less than 50 percent of time patrolling the border. Border Patrol agents now spend less than 50 percent of their time patrolling the border, a top official said Wednesday, putting a stark face on the border crisis. Customs and Border Protection acting Commissioner John Sanders made the revelation at a press conference where he stood next to Sen. Lindsey Graham, who proposed new legislation to try to combat the surge of illegal immigrants. Mr. Sanders said his agents are now spending more time changing diapers, driving migrants and providing medical care for families and children than they are spending out in the field on patrol. Nearly 100 Indicted, 50 In Custody After ICE Uncovers Large-Scale Marriage Fraud Scheme. Authorities indicted 96 people and arrested 50 for a marriage fraud operation allegedly taking place in Vietnam and Houston. A months-long Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) probe uncovered a criminal operation that enabled numerous foreign nationals to fraudulently obtain legal immigration status in the U.S., according to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement press release Monday [5/13/2019]. Former DHS officials ousted over push back on Trump administration's plan to arrest thousands of migrants. Former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and a top immigration official challenged a previously secret White House plan to arrest thousands of migrant parents and children in nearly a dozen U.S. cities, Fox News confirmed Monday [5/13/2019]. The Trump administration wanted to target migrant families that had crossed into the U.S. from Mexico in attempt to show that the U.S. wasn't going to back down on its border stance by detaining and deporting illegal immigrant families, The Washington Post first reported, citing several current and former Homeland Security officials. Border Patrol Flies Migrants from South Texas to Reduce Overcrowding. U.S. Border Patrol officials are now using air transportation to move migrants from overcrowded processing centers to lesser-impacted facilities, particularly from the Rio Grande Valley Sector. On Friday [5/10/2019], officials in the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol Sector began flying migrants from McAllen, Texas, to Del Rio, Texas, the Washington Post reported. The flights are operated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) but the migrants remain in the custody of Border Patrol. Sanctuary for Illegal Aliens and Persecution for Male Students in Our Universities. People who enter the United States without legal permission, often crossing borders clandestinely, are officially designated "illegal aliens" or "inadmissible aliens," although the Internal Revenue Service prefers "undocumented aliens." People who have entered the country illegally are subject to deportation. A large majority of American citizens, 76 percent, do not favor legal rights or government benefits for illegal undocumented immigrants. Only 15 percent believe that illegal aliens should be granted rights and benefits. In fact, 67 percent of all likely U.S. voters think illegal immigration is a serious problem in America today, with 47 percent saying it is a very serious problem; only 32 percent think it is not a serious problem and 8 percent say it is not at all serious. A majority of likely voters, 62 percent, think that people who overstay their visas should be apprehended by the government and deported, while only 21 percent disagree. Trump, Pareto, and the Fall of the Elites. Encouraging mass immigration of illegals who compete for lower-level jobs does not help the underprivileged, rather it creates a new group of voters that will support the Democrats. It also helps privileged groups by supplying cheap labor. Take, for example, wealthy Marin County, California. Marin is largely populated by well-to-do and highly educated professional people. An underclass of often illegal immigrants provides affordable services such as yard work and babysitting. In the 2012 presidential election, Marin voted 74% for Obama. In the 2016 election, Marin voted 77% for Hillary and only 16% for Trump. Another wealthy California county, Santa Clara County, is the heart of Silicon Valley. In the 2016 election, Santa Clara County voted only 21% for Trump. Fresno County, California, a county that is majority Hispanic with a very high poverty rate, voted 43% for Trump. California as a whole voted 32% for Trump. The nation as a whole voted 46% for Trump. In the borough of Manhattan, in New York City, one of the wealthiest places in the country, only 10% of the votes went for Trump. Clearly the privileged class votes Democratic and strongly opposes Trump. In places inhabited by elites, the Democrats dominate. Illegal immigrants [are] now working as lawyers in California, Connecticut, Florida, New York, New Jersey, Penn, Oklahoma, Illinois. Illegal immigrants who have two-year work permits under DACA have now been admitted to the bar to practice law in several states. The latest state to admit an illegal immigrant is Oklahoma, whose bar association recently admitted Javier Hernandez, who came to the United States illegally from Mexico with his family when he was a child. [...] The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) called it "utterly mind-boggling" that bar associations in some states are now willing to admit illegal aliens "who have begun their relationship with the United States via a blatant violation of U.S. law." Latin America is Collapsing and Taking America With It. Venezuela's spectacular collapse may be dominating the news cycle now, but a Latin American country usually implodes in a spectacular fashion every few years. Even now, there is political chaos in Nicaragua, with major protests demanding the ouster of Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega, and brewing scandals in Argentina, Brazil and Peru that could expand and tear any or all of the three countries apart. Appeals court allows Trump administration to send back asylum seekers to Mexico to wait out court process. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals late Tuesday granted the Trump administration's request to send asylum seekers back to Mexico to wait out court proceedings temporarily. The court order reversed a decision by a San Francisco judge that would have blocked the policy — giving President Trump a temporary victory on immigration. Ninth Circuit Appellate Court Allows 'Return to Mexico' Policy to Remain In Force. A win for the Trump administration in the ongoing effort to stem the influx of migrants crossing the U.S-Mexico border seeking asylum. The ninth circuit federal appeals court ruled (full pdf below) that the Trump administration can continue returning Central American migrants to Mexico while their requests for asylum in the U.S. are adjudicated. Drug Cartels Booming in New Mexico After Feds Shut Down Border Check Points. After two check points were shut down in New Mexico, the presence of Mexican drug cartels is surging in the state. The check points were shut down in order to deploy New Mexico's resources to El Paso, Texas to help with the influx of migrants trying to enter the U.S. from that location. Seven-time Deportee Sentenced; CBP Uncovers Illegals and Drugs Packed Into Vehicles. It appears that nothing will deter an illegal alien who wants to get into the United States, whether to work illegally and sign up for welfare, or improve the prospects of success in a criminal career. Nor does it appear that the illegal-alien invasion, now occurring with buses and tractor trailers shipping illegals en masse to southwest border, will end anytime soon. Thus, it does appear that nothing short of a wall can protect the United States from colonization by penniless Central Americans. Nor will anything short of searching every vehicle arriving at ports of entry inhibit the drug trade. The border is open, and the illegals and drug runners know it. The Democrats Are Humanitarian Frauds on the Border. The evidence that Democrats are now an unapologetically open borders party is piling up, and Republicans need to start calling them on it. From opposing expanded detention facilities, actively blocking legislation to fix family separation policies, and even voting against legislation that would prohibit illegal immigrants from voting, it's becoming abundantly clear what Democrats want out of U.S. immigration policy: open borders, new voters, and a system that never actually gets fixed, so they can use it as a cudgel against Republicans. Mexico is becoming the world's backdoor into America (and Congress is AWOL). A 2018 Gallup poll revealed that more than 750 million adults would like to migrate to the United States. If even some of them brought children, that number could easily top 1 billion. That's more than three times the population of the United States: the equivalent of most of China moving here. It wasn't always like that. In 2012, the number was only 150 million. Has the rest of the world gotten so much worse in the last six years? Is America looking that much better? One thing is certain: getting into the U.S. is looking a whole lot easier. The entire world knows about the "asylum" loophole in our immigration system. It encourages people to: sneak across the border as a "family" (real or manufactured); find a border patrol agent to surrender to; claim to be refugees with a "credible fear" of persecution, and demand asylum. Caravaners clear out after Mexican police raid. Who says human beings, Central American, Mexican, or North American, don't respond to incentives? [...] So apparently all it took was word of a police raid along swift and certain deportation and the migrants decided to stay away. Among illegal migrants, word gets around fast. They know the migrant journey is arduous. They know the Mexican public has gotten sick of the side effects of their arrivals — littering, crime, costs of food and board, and disruption. The tipping point seems to have been the raids, from the officials who will no longer stand by idly and let them do it. The United States Is Giving the Caravans a Huge Incentive to Keep Coming. We are witnessing an extraordinary collapse of the rule of law in our immigration system as hundreds of thousands of migrants exploit our generous asylum system by making bogus claims of asylum after entering the United States illegally. As I wrote recently, caravan after caravan of illegal aliens from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador has been pushing toward our border. Mexico is warning that the "mother of all caravans" — over 20,000 people — is gathering in Honduras. Border apprehensions exceeded 100,000 in March — the highest monthly total in twelve years. Census and Citizenship: The Wrong Question. As is so often the case with Democrats, they're attempting to sell this one on the basis of principle, when it's about power and nothing else. Congressional districts are apportioned on the basis of the census count, which includes illegals. So not counting citizens of other countries in the census means fewer Democrats in Congress. Population — of Americans and otherwise — is also the basis for handing out federal grant money. These are the only reasons why Democrats don't want to scare off Mexicans and Colombians and Salvadorans and Guatemalans from participating in the census. They also explain why when Democrats say they too want border security, they're lying. They don't. It's not in their power interest to in any way slow the flow of undocumented Democrats from south of the border. Mexico ready to apologize to US over border incident: AMLO. Mexico's president said Thursday he was willing to offer an apology to the United States, if necessary, to cool an escalating war of words over a border confrontation between US and Mexican troops. "If necessary, the secretary of foreign affairs will send a note explaining how the facts occurred and, if there was an infraction; he will offer the apologies that are required," President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said in his daily news conference. The leftist president was keen to emphasize that Mexico wanted to avoid "any kind of friction, confrontation," with the United States, it's main trading partner. Border Patrol agent: Human smugglers running radio ads in Central American countries. A Border Patrol agent giving a tour of the El Paso, Texas region to a reporter said human smugglers list advertisements on radio stations in some Central American countries, telling people they will transport them to the United States. "The word is definitely out. They have advertisements by radio. You listen to your radio on your way to work — on your way to the grocery store. And that country is advertising, 'If you want the American dream, we'll help you out — we'll teach you how to get in the United States,'" the agent told Maria Bartiromo for a Fox News interview that aired Sunday [4/28/2019]. The agent appeared on camera with Bartiromo, but was not identified. More than 1,000 Cuban migrants break out of Mexican immigration facility. Hundreds of Cuban migrants are reported to be on the run Friday in Mexico after a crowd of more than 1,000 burst out of a troubled immigration detention center on its southern border. Mexico's National Immigration Institute said the mass escape Thursday in Tapachula — which the Associated Press called the largest in recent memory — involved around 1,300 Cuban migrants, although 700 of them have since returned voluntarily. Illegals Apprehended During Maria Bartiromo Live Report. Maria Bartiromo broadcast her show, Sunday Morning Futures, from the southern US border near El Paso, Texas this weekend. During her live broadcast a family of illegal aliens crossed over into the US from Mexico. The family from Honduras told Maria Bartiromo they were told in Honduras that they could stay in the US when they crossed the border. Hundreds of migrants board 'the Beast' train in Mexico in risky move to get closer to US border. Hundreds of migrants boarded a train known as the "The Beast" in southern Mexico on Thursday [4/25/2019], in a risky move aimed at transporting them to the U.S. border quicker. The decision to board the train en masse comes after a breakout of migrants from a troubled immigration detention center in the southern border city of Tapachula on Thursday night [4/25/2019]. Over 1,000 migrants break out of southern Mexico detention center. More than a thousand migrants broke out of a detention center in southern Mexico on Thursday evening, authorities said, in a fresh sign of how a surge in arrivals has stretched the country's resources to the limit. [Video clip] Illegal Immigration Is A Powder Keg In LA. My oldest daughter lives in Los Angeles, a short walk from MacArthur Park. [...] Far outside the political incubators of Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff and Maxine Waters — all of them California lawmakers — my daughter bears the brunt of the raw political debris created by deeply devious politicians who excrete pious lies about how much they care about minorities. In utter frustration, my daughter texted me a video that she filmed near her apartment. I was shocked at what I saw: Cluster after cluster of illegals lined along public streets selling anything they could find, spread over raggedy blankets or anything else they could use to form a boundary for their slipshod sidewalk stores. "They are above the law," she wrote. "How can you sell so much food on the street without a permit? Without the grading system? I didn't know you could have a business and not pay taxes. They're spreading, too. [...]" The Truth About The Invasion of America. Countless people have asked me why our President — who promised national security above all else — is not fulfilling that all-important promise, and the answer is not as simple as a new Homeland Security Secretary. Here's what I know, and I cannot sound the alarm loudly enough. Congress, Speaker Pelosi, the Democrats, Mitch McConnell, and the RINOs passed a bill that completely sold out American citizens and hardworking taxpayers — all middle and lower-income America — and crammed it down the President's throat. An inner circle of people in the White House do not share the MAGA agenda and either mislead the President or flat-out lied to him about it all. And, the National Emergency Declaration won't fix it. The bill they crammed through aids and abets the Mexican criminal cartels, boosting their billion-dollar-business by multi-millions of dollars a month. It's a neon sign inviting human-traffickers and other criminals to grab children and pour into the United States. It is worse than amnesty. Don't Look Now, But Mexico Just Busted A Migrant Caravan. Less than a week ago, President Trump issued a stern warning to the government of Mexico. They would need to step up their efforts to halt these caravans of migrants surging toward the United States or we would need to take steps that could impact both domestic policy on the southern border and endanger trade negotiations with that country. Do you think President Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) was paying attention? The news from the southern portion of Mexico last night would indicate that he received the message loud and clear. A new migrant caravan had been making their way north, but instead of being welcomed with applications for asylum, hundreds were arrested by federal police and detained to await deportation. Mexico rounding up, deporting migrants hoping to reach U.S. Mexico has deported about 15,000 migrants from Central America who'd been part of a caravan trying to reach the United States, Mexican officials said. Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has changed his policy for migrant caravans, amid pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump. Migrant groups that used to be welcomed in Mexico are now being detained by police and sent back. Migrants fearful after hundreds arrested in Mexico raid. Central American migrants traveling through southern Mexico toward the U.S. on Tuesday [4/23/2019] fearfully recalled their frantic escape from police the previous day, scuttling under barbed wire fences into pastures and then spending the night in the woods after hundreds were detained in a raid. Oregon Bill Would Give Illegal Aliens Driver's Licenses, Possible Voting Rights. The Oregon legislature is moving ahead with a bill that would allow illegal aliens to obtain driver's licenses. House Bill 2015 "Eliminates requirement that person provide proof of legal presence before Department of Transportation issues noncommercial driver license, noncommercial driver permit or identification card." Forget Trump, Here Are Five Reasons Why Obama Should Have Been Impeached. [#5] Obama's dictatorial approach to governing would manifest itself many times during his presidency, and any one of them should have had Congress using their check on executive overreach, the power to impeach, but for reasons that can't be justified, it never happened. One such example is Obama's unilateral writing of immigration law. It is quite clear that Congress has the power to write immigration law, but Obama decided that since Congress wouldn't act (and by that, he meant to do exactly what he wanted) he'd simply create a law with his executive pen. When the DREAM Act failed to pass Congress he simply began enforcing it without Congress's consent by issuing an executive order, known as DACA. It was unconstitutional (even Obama repeatedly admitted that he didn't have to power to create immigration law) and his blatant disregard for the Constitution should have resulted in articles of impeachment being drafted immediately. Our American Military at the Border Near Clint, Texas, Followed All Proper Protocols. Two U.S. soldiers were confronted and disarmed by Mexican troops in an incident on the U.S.-Mexico border almost two weeks ago. The story has received a lot of attention — and has seen critics of the soldiers' actions voice their opinions on social media. Before anyone begins dissecting what the soldiers did right or wrong, it's important to understand what actually happened. On April 13, two active-duty U.S. soldiers were conducting a patrol in a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) vehicle in the vicinity of Clint, Texas. The area they were in is on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande, but it is still U.S. soil. Suspicious details in that incident where U.S. soldiers were disarmed by Mexican troops on the U.S. side of the border. A couple days ago, Mexican troops reportedly came over into U.S. territory near El Paso in an unmarked vehicle on April 13, and disarmed the U.S. soldiers on the U.S. side, sent by President Trump to support U.S. border protection operations. Weirdly, they took the U.S. soldiers' weapons they'd confiscated, and then placed them into the soldiers' own vehicles and left. Did they do that pointless exercise to show who was boss in those parts? It's hard to say. Group of Armed Mexican Soldiers Disarm, Detain US Soldiers on Texas Side of Border. A group of armed Mexican soldiers disarmed and detained two US soldiers on the US side of the border near Clint, Texas on April 13th. Officials with US Northern Command told CNN that "The U.S. soldiers were appropriately in U.S. territory," and were reportedly providing border support "in an unmarked (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) vehicle." Mexican Soldiers Question, Disarm Two U.S. Army Troops In Apparent Confusion About Border Location, Incident Documents Reveal. Two U.S. Army soldiers sat in an unmarked Chevrolet Tahoe owned by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on the west side of an El Paso County, Texas, Colonia known as Las Pampas. It was April 13, and the Army sergeant and private had set up a hasty observation post north of the Rio Grande River, but south of the border fence in U.S. territory. The soldiers were members of B Battery, 1st Battalion, 37th Field Artillery Regiment, out of Joint Base Lewis-McChord in Washington. The unit, part of the southwest border mission President Donald Trump first ordered in October 2018, recently had their deployment extended to September. Trump has the power to end judicial amnesty TODAY under CURRENT law. Last week, near Philadelphia, yet another alleged illegal alien child molester was arrested on charges of attempting to lure minors. Twenty-five-year-old Eudy Najera-Arita, an illegal alien from Honduras, was arrested in Delaware County, PA, in connection with two luring attempts of minors and exposing himself to one of the girls. As has been my practice in these cases, I reached out to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to get his immigration history. I asked if Najera-Arita was previously deported and reentered unknowingly or if he had been in this country undetected until local police picked him up on April 9. To my shock, it was neither. He was known to immigration officials, but was indeed never deported. My Simple, Effective Comprehensive Illegal Immigration Reform Plan: Go Home. This is my elegant, uncomplicated comprehensive immigration reform plan. If we did not invite you in — if you didn't have the basic courtesy and respect for this country to ask to come here, then get out. And don't come back — if you snuck into America, you don't get to come back. It's simple and fair. The fair part is important, because it's about time that our immigration laws be fair to the only people who should matter when we make our policies — American citizens. Trump wants to evict illegals. The Housing and Urban Development told Congress it plans to scrap a Bill Clinton rule that allowed illegal aliens to get public housing assistance. This is part of President Donald John Trump's plan to remove bad policies from all prior presidents, not just Obama. The Washington Times reported we stopped asking more than 20 years ago people if they are citizens or if they are even here legally. Taxpayers just shelled housing subsidies out, no questions asked. The money goes to landlords, who had no incentive to check whether a renter is legal or not. New Mexico declares state of emergency over influx of migrants: report. A New Mexico county on Wednesday [4/17/2019] declared a state of emergency over an influx of immigrants crossing the border in recent months and asked the governor to send in the National Guard for protection, according to a report. Otero County, which touches neighboring El Paso, issued a declaration Wednesday that urged Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham to deploy National Guard Troops and reopen Customs and Border Patrol checkpoints to stem the flow of drugs and other illegal activity at the border, The Alamogordo Daily News reported. Another line they cut into: Illegals get free public housing as impoverished Americans wait. Want some perspective on why so many blue sanctuary cities have so many homeless encampments hovering around? Try the reality that illegal immigrants are routinely given free public housing by the U.S., based on the fact that they are uneducated, unskilled, and largely unemployable. Those are the criteria, and now importing poverty has never been easier. Shockingly, this comes as millions of poor Americans are out in the cold awaiting that housing that the original law was intended to help. Thus, the tent cities, and by coincidence, the worst of these emerging shantytowns are in blue sanctuary cities loaded with illegal immigrants — Orange County, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, New York... Is there a connection? At a minimum, it's worth looking at. Cartel Blockades Bring Mexican Border City near Texas to Standstill. A series of blockades in the Mexican border city of Nuevo Laredo brought traffic to a complete halt. Mexican authorities deployed a large number of police and military forces in case gun battles erupted while they confronted the causes of congestion. Things That Can't Go on Forever Simply Don't. Most of the people who enter the United States illegally arrive without fluency in English, a high-school diploma, competitive job skills or money. The majority will require support subsidies, and collectively they will require increased legal and law-enforcement investments. At some point, American social services will be so taxed that the system will be rendered dysfunctional — as is already occurring in areas of the American Southwest. Or, some regions of America will so resemble the countries undocumented immigrants abandoned that there will be little point in heading north. Either way, the current border chaos will find its own self-correcting mechanisms, even if that means there will be no border at all — or northern Mexico and the southern United States will become indistinguishable. Barr Halts Bail For Asylum Seekers. That's one way to end catch-and-release — in theory. In practice, William Barr's decision to end bail for asylum seekers might turn the crisis at the border into a catastrophe. Or at least into a powerful disincentive. Attorney General Barr Blocks Catch and Release by Migration Judges. Immigration judges cannot release migrants who are caught sneaking into the United States, even if the migrants ask for asylum, says a binding legal decision by Attorney General William Barr. The decision will dramatically shift the migration-caused civic and housing crises from the nation's blue-collar communities over to the Congress and the Department of Homeland Security, whose budget and detention centers only have enough resources to house about 50,000 people year-round. Amnesty invasion: Over 750K work permits handed out to largely bogus asylum applicants. During a campaign rally on August 31, 2016, Donald Trump promised to "immediately terminate President Obama's two illegal executive amnesties in which he defied federal law and the constitution to give amnesty to approximately five million illegal immigrants." Unfortunately, almost three years later, not only is the DACA amnesty alive and well, an entirely new amnesty for hundreds of thousands of bogus asylees, which is fueling the core magnet of today's border invasion, is growing like wildfire. The million-dollar question is why is the administration continuing to give hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants work permits? Yuma, AZ mayor declares state of emergency as migrants inundate the city. The mayor of Yuma, Arizona has declared a local state of emergency due to the flood of migrants, released from custody, who are overwhelming his city and is asking the federal government for help. Yuma mayor Douglas Nicholls said the crisis is overtaxing the city's ability to care for the flood of released immigration detainees — many of them families — who have filled the shelters to capacity, with more coming every day. Arizona city overwhelmed by migrants declares state of emergency. Yuma, a city on the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona, declared a state of emergency Tuesday, saying it cannot handle the crush of illegal immigrants the government is being forced to release onto its streets. Mayor Douglas Nicholls said the migrants are being released by the Border Patrol into his community faster than they can leave, and local shelters are already at capacity. He warned of mobs of people "roaming the streets looking to satisfy basic human needs," clashing with citizens looking to protect their own property. How illegal immigrants arrive here as ready-made Democrats. The news from Mexico is that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has halted efforts to reform Mexico's underperforming education system. [...] For Democrats here, though, it's the perfect formula for new voters. It's not that its people are poorly educated, though that's a major issue, actually. It's that a good look at that system shows that pretty much the only education they receive at all is Marxist indoctrination. Combine that with sub-literacy, and the people who are the products of this system are as malleable as clay in the hands of leftist demagogues. Pew Research: Hispanics to Outpace Black Americans as Largest Voting Minority in 2020. Hispanic Americans are set to outpace black Americans as the largest voting minority group in the 2020 election for the first time ever, new research finds. Pew Research Center projections predict that Hispanic American voters will now be the largest voting minority in the 2020 presidential election, passing black American voters for the first time in United States history. Hispanics have been the largest minority group in the U.S. since 2003. The Border Disaster Goes from Bad to Worse. On April 9, 2019, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released its latest numbers from the Southwest border. Last week, I estimated that 100,000 aliens would have been apprehended between the ports of entry and deemed inadmissible at the ports of entry, along that border in March 2019. I am man enough to admit when I was wrong: There were actually 103,492, up from 76,535 the month before, a 135 percent increase over an already unbelievable flood. If only the bad news ended there. Of that 103,492, Border Patrol apprehended 53,077 aliens traveling in family units (that is at least one adult traveling with at least one child) last month, up from 36,531 family units the month before, a 145 percent increase. Border Patrol also apprehended 8,975 unaccompanied alien children (UAC), up from 6,828 in March, a 131 percent increase. At the ports, CBP officers in the Office of Field Operations (OFO) deemed 4,194 family units inadmissible, which was actually down from 4,210 the month before. This likely reflects the fact that aliens did not want to wait at ports of entry for their opportunity to claim credible fear, but decided to enter illegally to do so instead. Report: Only 13% of all Asylum Claims are Legitimate. When dealing with immigrants claiming to be seeking asylum. There are laws. However, the Democrats want to go against these laws. They want all the immigrants to be released into the country. However, only a small amount of immigrants are legitimately applying for asylum. Interestingly, the law states that the Immigration and Nationality Act says that anyone who arrives at the U.S. may apply for asylum based on a well-founded fear of persecution, and Trump's decision has prompted immediate federal court challenges. Senator Graham to introduce long overdue asylum reform bill. The recent wave of asylum-seekers from Central America who have shown up at our southern border points out the desperate need for reforming our asylum laws and procedures. The fact is, few asylum-seekers will be successful because they don't come here to escape religious persecution or political oppression. They come for "a better life." You can hardly blame them for that, considering the hell-holes they are trying to escape. But asylum laws were written not to give people a better life. And the fact that so many asylum-seekers are allowed to stay in the U.S. until their cases are decided in court means that many tens of thousands will become permanent illegal residents. FBI: Company Faked White-Collar Jobs for 1,900 Chinese Migrants. The U.S. government awarded hundreds of work permits in 2017 to a front company that, according to an FBI statement, trafficked almost 2,000 Chinese graduates into the U.S. white-collar labor market. The March 28 FBI document alleges that a Chinese migrant named Weiyun Huang took money to issue fraudulent claims of employment to Chinese students who were seeking to get "Optional Practical Training" work permits. Huang was arrested March 26, the document says. Not in Cher's neighborhood. The singer Cher (no last name) promised to leave this country, even this planet, if Donald J. Trump (R) became President of the United States. Well, Trump is president and Cher is still living in this country. And yes, Los Angeles, California and its wealthy liberal suburbs of Beverly Hills and Malibu, where Cher lives in huuuuuge homes (she owns several here and there) surrounded by gates and walls and doormen and guards, utilizing the hi tech security that is part of the USA. Are There Any Limits to Illegal Immigration? If one reads either the local or regional papers, it is composed of stories about one of three themes. One, the disturbing litany of DUIs, gang stabbings and shootings, fatal hit-and-run accidents, police shootings of armed suspects, high-speed chases, robberies, and drug busts. Two, there are also many human interest inspirational stories of illegal aliens from Mexico who are running successful businesses, whose children are star athletes or students. [...] Three, the grievance or victimization meme: the lawsuit against law enforcement, the filing of a bias claim against the county, the firing of an official for some alleged insensitivity, or the injustice of some agency that has curtailed support from, tried to deport, or was somehow biased against, an illegal alien. The point is, that unlike the past, almost every new story is grounded in some sort of overt ethnic context, and ultimately related to illegal immigration and its effects. Ninth Circuit Court Stays Lower Court Injunction — Migrants Can Be Returned to Mexico. The ninth circuit court of appeals has ruled unanimously in favor of staying an earlier ruling from Federal Judge Richard Seeborg which blocked President Trump from returning illegal aliens (economic migrants) to Mexico pending their asylum hearing. The repatriation/deportation program can continue. A major win for President Trump[.] US can keep sending asylum-seekers back to Mexico: court ruling. The Trump administration can keep sending asylum seekers back to Mexico after an appeals court temporarily reversed a ruling that halted the policy. The decision from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals came Friday [4/12/2019] as the asylum policy was set to end on Monday night. The government told the court that the U.S. is facing "a humanitarian and security crisis" at the southern border and needs the policy to deal with surging number of refugees, Reuters reported. Friday's two-paragraph decision marked a rare ruling from the 9th Circuit in favor of Trump, who has criticized the court for blocking his immigration policy in previous cases. Can you believe what the president said about immigration? [Scroll down] As recently as 2009, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer condemned illegal immigration as "wrong — plain and simple." Four years earlier, Barack Obama campaigned on a platform of ending illegal immigration, explaining "We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked." Aside from the obvious security dangers, unvetted illegal immigration, Obama noted, is unfair to "the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants in this country." Obama's concerns over security, assimilation, and fairness fall on deaf ears among Democrats today. Sporting cell phones, brand-name clothes — and babies, another 1,000-strong migrant caravan heads for the U.S. Get ready for another migrant caravan coming up from Honduras to the U.S. border, organized by activist groups there calling for volunteers to beef up the numbers. OANN reports that the latest one taking off is 1,000 strong and loaded with people carrying babies. Analysis: 1% of Honduran, Guatemalan Populations [are expected] to Arrive in U.S. by 2020. At current immigration rates, more than 260,000 Hondurans and Guatemalans are expected to arrive in the United States by 2020, according to an analysis by The Guardian. The analysis reveals that about one percent of the total population of Guatemala and Honduras — about 26 million — may arrive in the U.S. by the end of the year should current levels of immigration continue. Most of the $33 Billion in Remittances to Mexico Flow Via U.S. Govt. Banking Program. Though President Trump said he would block money transfers to Mexico to fund a much-needed border wall, Mexicans in the U.S. sent a record $33.48 billion in remittances last year and a big chunk of it flowed through a government program operated by the Federal Reserve. This means that, amid an onslaught of illegal immigration, the U.S. government is largely responsible for the billions in remittances flowing south of the border from illegal aliens. Figures released by Mexico's central bank show that 104 million transactions were executed in 2018, nearly six million more than the previous year. Uncle Sam facilitates the process with a program called "Directo a Mexico" (Direct to Mexico), launched by the Federal Reserve, the government agency that serves as the nation's central bank, more than a decade ago. New migrant caravan sets out in Honduras. Hundreds of Honduran migrants, many carrying young children, set out in a caravan for that country's border with Guatemala on Wednesday [4/10/2019], hoping to reach the United States. Trump says Central American migrants [are] worse than Mexicans. President Trump suggested Wednesday [4/10/2019] that illegal immigrants from Central America are worse than those from Mexico, changing tone from his campaign declaration that Mexico was sending the worst of the worst to the U.S. "Those countries are sending the tough ones. They are sending the gang members," the president said during roundtable in Texas. "People from Mexico, they come in and help with the farming and they go out, no problem." President Trump pulling up the drawbridge on goodies for illegals. With the wall still in the works, President Trump isn't sitting idle as 1.5 million illegal migrants prepare to storm the U.S. border this year. He's moving swiftly to get some kind of handle on the migrant surge by strengthening the U.S.'s loophole-filled system of laws that have made immigrating here illegally more attractive to would-be migrants than following U.S. law. The U.S. Immigration System May Have Reached a Breaking Point. Gone are the days when young, strong men waited on the Tijuana River levees for their chance to wade across the water, evade capture and find work for the summer. These days, thousands of people a day simply walk up to the border and surrender. Most of them are from Central America, seeking to escape from gang violence, sexual abuse, death threats and persistent poverty. The smugglers have told them they will be quickly released, as long as they bring a child, and that they will be allowed to remain in the United States for years while they pursue their asylum cases. Bait and smuggle: Mexican cartels divert border cops with migrant surges and ferry drugs where the coast is clear. A northern Texas sheriff says his county has seen a big uptick in methamphetamine and heroin seizures since October, saying Mexican drug smugglers are using large groups of migrants to divert Border Patrol's attention while they run narcotics over the border in nearby areas. Tarrant County Sheriff Bill E. Waybourn told the Washington Examiner drug seizures have picked up since 2016 and spiked "tremendously" in the past six months just as groups of 100 or more people began showing up at the border. Immigrants from 50 countries illegally entering US: Border Patrol official. Illegal immigrants from 50 different countries — including China, Bangladesh, Turkey, Egypt and Romania — have been caught crossing into the US from Mexico, a top Border Patrol official testified Tuesday [4/9/2019]. "People are traveling across hemispheres to attempt to illegally enter the US, using the same pathways as the Central Americans," Rio Grande Valley Sector Chief Patrol Agent Rodolfo Karisch said at a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing. The revelation came as President Trump said he would not relaunch his administration's policy of separating children from their families at the southern border — but continued railing against the surge of Central American asylum seekers seeking entry to the US. Voters: On Illegal Immigration, the Democrats Are Nuts. Do you think illegal immigration is a serious problem? If you are like 67 percent of likely voters, you do. If you think illegal immigration is a very serious problem, you have plenty of company — 47 percent of voters. Of course, if you are running for president as a Democrat, you don't think illegal immigration is a problem at all. Eight percent of likely voters agree with you. Not only do none of the Democratic presidential candidates want to build the wall, some of them want to tear down barriers where they already exist. President Trump Announces 750 Additional Agents Deployed to Ports of Entry. So, Democrats and The Big Club want to play Lawfare with the border crisis? Well, this is not an ordinary President. In a move that is straight out of the Alinsky 'make them play by their own rules' playbook, President Trump enforces the rules. Amid a crisis of growing consequence, President Trump announces deployment of additional 750 Border Agents to U.S-Mexico specific ports of entry. The Border Crisis Is A Money-Making Machine For Smugglers. McAllen, a city of fewer than 150,000 residents, is now facing the prospect of thousands of migrants discharged from ICE custody, wandering the streets and sleeping in doorways and on park benches — the city's mayor has said as much. What's more, in February the city ordered Catholic Charities to vacate the former nursing home and find a new location within 90 days, citing complaints from neighbors about constant traffic and strangers wandering nearby streets where children play. By any measure, the situation in McAllen is an emergency. This is just one border town in Texas. Something similar is playing out all up and down the U.S.-Mexico border. Buried lede: So now we have caravans loading up with migrants from Sri Lanka, Congo, Haiti? In its story about thousands of caravan migrants encountering a slow-walk for "humanitarian" visas of passage to the U.S. from Mexican officials, Reuters let out a doozy of a detail way down in its story about the matter: ["]At the border town of Tapachula, near the southern tip of Mexico bordering Guatemala, another group included people from Sri Lanka, Congo and Haiti, a federal official said. Some migrants said Mexican officials had slowed down the process of awarding the visas or denied them outright without providing any explanation. A small group lashed out at border officials in Tapachula on Tuesday over the delays, throwing rocks and breaking windows of a local migration institute building.["] Lovely bunch, aren't they, with their demands for instant customer service from Mexican officials? They've obviously got a lot of money for plane flights to places like Mexico along with cartel smuggler fees, therefore they are accustomed to such service. In fact, they are convinced they are entitled to it, same as they get at the Hertz counter. When they don't, they resort to road rage-style brick-throwing. Poll: 67% Of Likely Voters Say Illegal Immigration Is A Serious Problem, Most Believe Democrats Don't Want To Stop It. A new Rasmussen poll conducted this week indicates that 67% of likely United States voters believe that illegal immigration is a "serious problem" in the country today, but the plurality of those who took the survey do not believe that the Democratic Party in Congress "wants to slow or stop illegal immigration." The percentage of likely voters who said illegal immigration is a "serious issue" has not changed since a similar poll conducted in January asked the same question. Furthermore, it could be argued that Americans are becoming less concerned with illegal immigration during President Trump's time in office as a similar 2015 poll found that 80% of likely voters said that it was a serious issue. Immigration as Economic Warfare. Political influence in America is garnered through a number of mechanisms — campaign contributions, social media, YouTube, news channels, and authority from moral figures such as the church, to name a few. However, the dominant force in American politics for the last two decades has been economic warfare against American citizens. This economic warfare has two primary components; the use of government to economically favor one group over another; and the collusion of immigrant groups to economically inhibit Americans who oppose replacement migration. The first aspect of this warfare is simple. The government institutes programs that give special privileges to one group of people in the form of educational access and benefits, exclusive contracts with the government, quotas within the job market, and legal protections that are exclusive to those people. While many of these benefits are subtle, on multigenerational timelines they effectively destroy the unprotected group while ensuring the success of the protected group. In addition to this, there is the selective enforcement of laws and the absolution of some groups from many laws. ICE Raids Texas Technology Company, Arrests 280 Over Immigration Violations. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 280 employees at a technology repair company in Collin County, Texas, on charges of working in the United States illegally. It's the largest work site raid in the country in more than a decade, according to a Homeland Security Investigations official. About 280 people arrested on immigration violations at Allen business. Officials with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security Investigations detained 280 people during an operation at an Allen business on Wednesday afternoon [4/3/2019]. Multiple large buses were seen parked at the back entrance of a building in the 900 block of Enterprise Boulevard, according to helicopter footage from Fort Worth Star-Telegram media partner WFAA-TV. The Editor says... Brian Kilmeade complains illegals who don't speak English are being 'dumped' into working class schools and libs didn't like his language. If we've learned anything by this point it's that complaints about the ill effects of illegal immigration will be met with a fierce defense by Democrats and their liberal media allies — the objective being to shut down all debate over what's come to be a burden on the country. "Fox & Friends" co-host Brian Kilmeade saw the effects of this Wednesday when he spoke about illegal immigrants who don't speak English being "dumped" in working class schools. Kilmeade made the comment in a segment focused on President Trump threatening to shut down the southern border as Border Patrol has been overwhelmed by an endless wave of illegal immigrants, many of them women and children from Central America, with reports of a massive caravan heading our way. Trump administration is expanding program that boots asylum seekers back to Mexico. The Trump administration will be increasing the number of Central American asylum seekers who are sent back to Mexico to await their court case. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced Monday she will be expanding the "Migrant Protection Protocols" program, more popularly known as "Remain in Mexico." Nielsen, in a memo sent to the federal borer chief, ordered Customs and Border Protection agents deployed on the U.S.-Mexico border to begin reviewing hundreds of migrant cases a day to determine if they should be booted back to Mexico. CNN: Okay Fine, There's a Crisis at the Border. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is in El Paso today [4/3/2019] as the crisis on the border continues to rage. On Thursday, she will travel to Yuma, Arizona, where a border barrier has been used to successfully stop illegal immigration, human trafficking and drug flow. During an interview Tuesday night with Fox News, Nielsen described the DHS response to the chaos as "category 5 hurricane." In other words, as many resources as possible are being diverted to address the issue. Pew Research: U.S. Home to Nearly 20% of World's Migrant Population. The United States is home to nearly 20 percent of the globe's migrant population, a new study finds. The Pew Research Center reveals in a new study that the U.S. has admitted more foreign nationals than any other country in the world. Roughly 18 percent of the world's migrant population lives in the U.S., the study found. About 44.5 million foreign-born residents now live in the U.S., far surpassing Germany's 12.2 million foreign-born population and Russia's nearly 12 million foreign-born population. Dereliction of duty: The border crisis is Congress' fault. President Trump's threat to close down the border with Mexico isn't a sign of strength, but of frustration fading into desperation. He is reacting with understandable alarm at a spiraling migrant crisis on the border, and looking to Mexico to address it because we are unwilling to do it on our own — not unable, unwilling. There were more than 100,000 apprehensions at the border in March, an increase from the 76,000 in February. The numbers for both months were the highest in 10 years. The total for the fiscal year could hit a million, a historic surge completely overwhelming our capabilities. Things Get Awkward When Tucker Asks Mexican Official Why Mexico Won't Let Central Americans Stay. Things got awkward fast when Tucker Carlson asked a Mexican official why Central Americans migrating through Mexico shouldn't be allowed to remain there. Speaking with Guanajuato Secretary of Migration Juan Hernandez on Wednesday night's edition of "Tucker Carlson Tonight," the Fox News host began by asking why Hernandez's own words from the past wouldn't constitute a "hostile act" against the United States. Jorge Ramos: Amnesty for Illegals, Migrants: 'Nothing We Can Do to Stop Them'. Univision anchor Jorge Ramos said on Tuesday evening [4/2/2019] that he believes the solution to the migrant crisis at U.S.-Mexico border is to just legalize illegal immigrants because "nobody can really stop them" from entering the United States. "The U.S. economy has been absorbing them and it seems that we have to realize that the only way to deal with this is in a legal way," Ramos told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "Just to understand that legally they are going to keep coming and there is really nothing we can do to stop them." How our government stopped the 1989 asylum surge BEFORE it got out of control. In 1984, the WSJ published an op-ed, "In Praise of Huddled Masses." "We propose a five-word constitutional amendment: There shall be open borders." Well, 35 years later, that is exactly what we have. Our government is now telling us that the laws, which actually say the opposite, compel them to let anyone in. We didn't even need a constitutional amendment to create open borders. We just needed judges. As we allow nearly everyone into our country and release them into our communities, the "mother of all caravans" is forming in Honduras, according to media in Mexico. Was there ever a time in history when we allowed this to go on? Remember, our current laws have been in place since 1952, and the updated asylum statutes have been in place since 1980. We've been through this before, only then, as I demonstrated with the case of the Haitian boat people in 1993, our government shut it down immediately. Democratic Proposal: Hey, Let's Eliminate Criminal Penalties for Illegal Immigration — and End Most Detentions. Not long ago, the Democratic Party's mantra on abortion was that the unfortunate practice ought to be "safe, legal and rare." Nobody is pro-abortion, they told us. Today, the party votes in virtual lockstep against any and all measures that would limit even the most extreme and unpopular forms of abortion, including recent legislation barring elective late-term abortions, and a bill to require medical care for infants born alive after failed abortions. Not a single Democrat running for president has even hinted that the 'right' to abortion should be curtailed or limited in any way, at any point, for any reason — including the supposed "moderates" in the race. We can keep the ports open to commerce, secure our borders, and eat our avocados too. There is a difference between shutting down the border for commerce and suspending all immigration at our border. The good news is that the media are finally admitting that the president has the authority to close the border. The bad news is that they are obfuscating the distinction between shutting off the entire border for commerce and suspending immigration requests at the border. The Trump administration would be wise to push back against it immediately and clarify this distinction. The media is in full meltdown mode over Trump's threat to "shut down" the border, as they predict doom and gloom for our economy, loss of jobs, and loss of revenue. We might even face an avocado shortage, according to the New York Times! Imagine that. Never mind that the cost of one year's border flow could add up to at least $150 billion for taxpayers. The Editor says... Nielsen Orders 'Emergency Surge Operations' on Southwest Border. The Trump administration is speeding up the temporary deployment of another 750 Customs and Border Protection (CBP) personnel — and possibly more — to parts of the Southwest border most affected by the influx of migrants. The administration also has directed CBP to return to Mexico hundreds of migrants more each day than are currently being sent back. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen issued the directives in a memorandum to CBP Commissioner Kevin McAleenan on Monday [4/1/2019], telling him to initiate "emergency surge operations." It's a 'Cat 5' immigration crisis: Nielsen. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Tuesday that the Trump administration is treating the immigration crisis as a "Cat 5 hurricane disaster." "We are bringing all of the agencies together; we're asking everybody to chip in," Nielsen said on "Tucker Carlson Tonight." "Why wouldn't we put the U.S. military along our border if it's really a crisis of that magnitude?" Carlson asked Secretary Nielsen. "I think we're looking into that. We've made the request. I'm in constant contact with the acting secretary of defense. I talked to some of the combatant commanders today. We are in fact pushing more and more military resources to the border," Nielsen said. The real prime target of Trump's threat to close the border. Ever since NAFTA, huge investments have taken place predicted [sic] on the free movement of good across the border. Those investments are now held hostage by Trump's threat. The implicit deal: either loudly and emphatically lobby for a simple revision to immigration law to allow asylum claimants to wait on the southern side of the border while their claims are adjudicated or endure a semi-catastrophic disruption. Trump knows that he has an excellent public case to make for this simple reform. With illegals now well aware that bringing along minors and an asylum claim guarantee admission to the USA, a hundred thousand a month are flooding in. The claims of a "manufactured crisis" look silly. Even Jeh Johnson, Obama's DHS secretary admits it is real. How bad does border have to be for Democrats to admit it's an emergency? Is there any number of illegal border crossings into the United States that would strike Democrats as an emergency? As they resisted President Trump's efforts to stem the flow of illegal migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border, many Democrats made the point that fewer migrants are coming today than years ago, during the Bill Clinton and George W. Bush presidencies. The implication was that today's situation cannot be an emergency, because it used to be worse.
Democrat Gutierrez: There Should be Welcoming Centers in Every Major City for Illegal Caravan Migrants. Former lawmaker Democrat Luis Gutierrez wants welcome centers in every major US city for illegal caravan migrants. This is a party that seeks a national suicide. Another sob story in the left-wing media: The Editor says... As if ICE didn't have enough work, 24 immigrants go on a hunger strike to protest their detention. Migrants being held in a Louisiana detention center are continuing a hunger strike in protest while they await their asylum claims to be processed. The strike protesting their detention began last week with about 150 people, immigrant advocates told The Associated Press, while U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement report that only 24 people have continuously refused to eat meals. Migrant surge overwhelms San Antonio. The surge of migrant families crossing the southern border is overwhelming a bus station and aid organizations in San Antonio. CNN Promotes and Celebrates Man Who Stopped ICE from Arresting Two Illegal Immigrants. A leftover from the weekend involves New Day Saturday, which somehow manages to have even lower ratings than it's weekday counterpart. CNN's Victor Blackwell and Christi Paul have a history of ridiculous immigration stories and unfairly attacking ICE. Just last year the dynamic duo defended a man that was deported back to Mexico. What they didn't mention was that he was wanted for murder. That might seem like an important detail to normal people but this is CNN we are talking about. Watch the long faces as Jeh Johnson, Obama's DHS Secretary, tells MSNBC that the border is 'truly in a crisis'. I have significantly upgraded my opinion of Jeh Johnson, President Obama's secretary of homeland security. Appearing Friday [3/29/2019] on Morning Joe, he was honest and blunt in addressing the border crisis, drawing on his own experience and implicitly rebuking the Democrats' talking point that this is a "manufactured crisis." Trump cuts all direct assistance to Northern Triangle countries Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala. In a stunning about-face, State Department officials said that President Donald Trump is cutting off all direct assistance to the so-called Northern Triangle countries of El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala. "At the Secretary's instruction, we are carrying out the President's direction and ending FY [fiscal year] 2017 and FY 2018 foreign assistance programs for the Northern Triangle," a State Department spokesperson told ABC News, referring to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Mexico bows to Pres. Trump on 'containment' of illegal aliens. Mexico bowed to President Trump's border security demands by agreeing to set up a Central American illegal alien "containment" belt 2,200 miles south of San Diego. Mexico's socialist president, Andrés Manuel López-Obrador, known as "AMLO," trumpeted after his huge July victory that he sympathized with migrants suffering from "hunger and poverty." He promised to slash funds dedicated to border control and claimed that he would stand up to any of President Trump's bullying tactics. 'Get Serious and Stop Rewarding Illegal Immigration,' Border Patrol Agent Says to Congress. Border Patrol Agent Hector Garza told Fox News that Congress needs to "get serious and stop rewarding illegal immigration." His comments follow one of the busiest weeks in Texas immigration history that saw nearly 1,700 migrants illegally cross the border in the Rio Grande Valley Sector in a single day. "We have lost the ability to know who or what is coming across the border," Agent Garza told Fox & Friends during an interview on Thursday morning [3/28/2019]. DHS: Border Crossings Reach 4,100 Migrants in One Day. The number of migrants daily crossing the U.S. border hit a decade-long record of 4,100 on Tuesday [3/26/2019], says border commissioner Kevin McAleenan. [...] The inflow includes a record number of youths and children who are being delivered to the border by coyotes, often under a contract with the foreign parents who are already living and working illegally in the underground economy. Trump says he 'may close the Southern Border' to stop flow of illegal immigrants. President Trump criticized Mexico Thursday [3/27/2019] for not stopping the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States and said he "may close the Southern Border" to prevent more from entering. Border Patrol Shifted to Hospital Watch & Driving Illegal Aliens Around. In a press release posted late Wednesday night [3/27/2019], U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced that 750 border agents have been pulled from their posts at the ports of entry in California, Arizona, and Texas, in order to provide humanitarian care for the flood of illegal aliens coming across the border, including "hospital watch and transportation." A top Border Patrol official announced on Wednesday that they have now reached the breaking point, and are on track to apprehend over 100,000 illegal aliens in the month of March alone. Border hits 'breaking point' in El Paso, CBP commissioner says. The nation's top border security official said Wednesday that the border is at its "breaking point" during a visit to Texas, where as many as 1,000 migrants crossed into the U.S. and there are not enough agents to respond. "That breaking point has arrived this week at our border," U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin K. McAleenan said along the border. "CBP is facing an unprecedented humanitarian and border security crisis all along our Southwest border, and nowhere has that crisis manifested more acutely than here in El Paso." Border Patrol rescues double-amputee illegal immigrant from middle of Rio Grande. Border Patrol agents had to rescue a double-amputee illegal immigrant in a wheelchair from an island in the middle of the Rio Grande this week, a day after pulling a deaf and dumb man from the water. The rescues are part of a pattern of increasingly frail or ailing migrants attempting to sneak into the U.S., assisted by smuggling cartels eager to cash in on lax American enforcement policies. In the case of the Guatemalan man in a wheelchair, he was spotted Wednesday [3/20/2019] by agents on a boat. The Cloward-Piven strategy is working. U.S. remittances to Central America's big three hit record $17 billion in 2018. As the caravans keep rolling in, and Congress does its darndest to prevent the construction of a border wall, journalists who follow the money can find some striking news. The Washington Examiner's Paul Bedard has a good one on U.S. remittances to the three Central American countries whose nationals are leading the surge across our unguarded southern border. Hundreds of illegal immigrants released into US amid overcrowding at detention facilities. The U.S. has started releasing hundreds of illegal immigrant detainees into the country as immigration authorities struggle to find available places to house the thousands of illegal migrants coming through the U.S.-Mexico border. Most of the released migrants are expected to be those who crossed the border together with their families. Such migrants are given paper notices with a court date and told to stay with their other family members in the U.S. Why aren't we deporting illegal aliens who already have deportation orders? We are told by the legal profession that nothing can be done to block bogus asylum-seekers from entering our country en masse, obtaining catch-and-release, and remaining here pending the outcome of a court decision that may be years in coming. But why is the DHS not at least deporting those who already went through this tedious process and have been ordered to be deported? Doing so would not only help eliminate public charge and potential gang members and drug runners for MS-13, it would deter the current and future wave waiting at the "conveyor belt" through Mexico from making the trip north. SCOTUS Gives Trump a Big Win on Immigration. On Tuesday [3/19/2019] the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration in Nielsen v. Preap, allowing the Department of Homeland Security to detain illegal aliens without bond while awaiting deportation for committing crimes within our borders. The decision reversed a ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. It was authored by Justice Samuel Alito, who was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts as well as Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh. The ruling involved a class-action lawsuit brought on behalf of various resident aliens, including a few with Green Cards, convicted of crimes for which U.S. law mandates deportation. President Trump Wins SCOTUS Decision on Detainment and Deportation of Criminal Aliens. The Supreme Court reversed a prior 9th Circuit Court ruling restricting when illegal aliens could be detained and deported. The SCOTUS ruling was in favor [of] the Trump administration, allowing federal officials to detain and deport illegal aliens after they have served their time in the U.S. for other crimes regardless of whether they were picked up immediately or later, after criminal release. Trump gets a U.S. Supreme Court victory on immigration detention. The Supreme Court on Tuesday [3/19/2019] endorsed the U.S. government's authority to detain immigrants awaiting deportation anytime — potentially even years — after they have completed prison terms for criminal convictions, handing President Donald Trump a victory as he pursues hardline immigration policies. Bias alert: DHS on track to nab 100,000 illegals at border this month. The government is on track to catch nearly 100,000 illegal immigrants at the border this month, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Monday, renewing the administration's plea for Congress to do something. That number would be the worst in more than a decade, and it's more troubling than the worst years because the migrants are children and families who despite being unauthorized, are almost impossible to deport. We're nowhere near a solution to the immigration crisis. With President Trump simultaneously fighting much of his own party as well as Democrats, a Yogi Berra classic fits the occasion: "It's deja vu all over again." More than two years into his presidency, Trump is once again at odds with most of Washington. The first veto of his presidency reflects his predicament, one of many perils he faces on the road to 2020. The politics notwithstanding, the president is right to use executive power to find more funds for border barriers and security. To do otherwise would be to betray his promises to secure the border and his responsibility to protect America. Watch the illegal immigrant 'conveyor belt' - in action. Want to see how the illegal immigrant 'conveyor belt' works? Here in San Diego, a demonstration of it in action was posted by the San Diego office of the U.S. Border Patrol on Twitter, which was then all over the local news, and then picked up by the Daily Mail. [Video clip] Migrant Families Can No Longer Wait Inside Greyhound Bus Stations Without Tickets Due to New Policy. Greyhound Lines Inc. is no longer allowing U.S. authorities to drop off immigrant families inside bus stations, forcing those who have been released from custody to wait outside until they have a ticket. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed to The Associated Press on Friday that it had been asked to drop off migrants outside facilities instead of busing them in. ICE for years has dropped off migrants at Greyhound stations, largely in Phoenix, after releasing them pending court hearings to decide whether they can stay in the country. From the stations, they travel to their intended destination in the United States. Yes, The Southern Border Is At The Breaking Point. You know things are bad when the New York Times runs an article with the headline, "Border at 'Breaking Point' as More than 76,000 Unauthorized Migrants Cross in a Month." We could quibble and point out they are illegal aliens, not "unauthorized migrants," but why argue details when your enemies are finally helping you by telling the truth for a change? [...] [Kevin K.] McAleenan said processing centers filled to capacity, border agents struggling to meet medical needs and thousands of exhausted members of migrant families crammed into a detention system that was not built to house them — all while newcomers continue to arrive, sometimes by the busload, at the rate of 2,200 a day according to [Caitlin] Dickerson's report. Democrats Want Illegal Aliens Voting in U.S. Elections. In case you missed it last week, House Democrats voted against a motion preventing illegal aliens from voting. [...] Meanwhile, Speaker Nancy Pelosi argued during a press conference last week we should be welcoming our "newcomers" by allowing them to vote. "When we talk about newcomers, we have to recognize the constant reinvigoration of America that they are, that we all have been, our families," Pelosi said in Texas. "These newcomers make America more American. And we want them, when they come here, to be fully part of our system and that means not suppressing the vote of our newcomers to America." While everyone sleeps, the courts are abolishing all immigration enforcement. Congress could never get away with creating constitutional rights for illegal aliens to remain here, yet a single lower court just did so on Thursday [3/7/2019]. And where Congress would face deep reprisal in the next election, faceless judges will never feel the heat. Conservatives fear that extreme Democrats might actually abolish ICE and all immigration enforcement, but the lower courts are already systematically abolishing ICE's authority, nullifying immigration enforcement statutes, violating separation of powers, and constantly increasing the wave of bogus asylum-seekers that they originally spawned with other radical rulings. The latest ruling from the Ninth Circuit demonstrates that unless Republicans and the president begin pushing back against these radical judges and delegitimizing their rulings, Democrats will get everything they want without ever facing electoral backlash or even the need to win elections. How Trump can use his 'pen and phone' to save billions and encourage immigrants to assimilate. President Trump has a gigantic opportunity to accomplish two goals via an executive order. [...] Democrats are on the record celebrating the power of presidents to issue executive orders and change federal policies. Barack Obama's boast that "I have a pen and I've got a phone" was immediately preceded by a promise: "We're not just going to be waiting for legislation in order to make sure that we're providing Americans the kind of help they need." And Bill Clinton, who issued the executive order requiring translations, was advised by Paul Begala, who celebrated that power with the immortal words, "Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool." I, for one, would greatly enjoy the spectacle of Progressives venting their outrage over such a move. They would hyperventilate over cruelty and being unwelcoming, but the fact is that by enabling people to avoid acquiring English proficiency, they condemn them to permanent second-class economic status. 'Press 2 for Spanish' costs billions; Trump can save money by pressing pen to paper. There's no telling how much money the government could save if it were to stop asking Americans to "Press 2 for Spanish." What is clear, according to those pushing the change, is that President Trump could do it with the stroke of a pen. Why he hasn't done so remains shrouded. Since the dawn of the 21st century, the U.S. government has operated under mandatory translation rules for its documents and services, a pricey option that President Bill Clinton imposed via executive order near the end of his tenure in August 2000. In essence, the order meant that if a person with limited or no English language skills had a problem with accessing federal services, then that was the government's problem. Just ONE year's flow of illegal immigration will cost up to $150 billion. In 2017, Steven Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies gave a conservative estimate that the net fiscal cost of each illegal immigrant crossing is $74,722. He used the fiscal cost estimates of immigrant based on education attainment from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NAS) in order to calculate the cost of the average illegal alien. But as Camarota notes, the NAS uses "net present value," which applies less value to the costs down the road than the immediate costs. He estimates that a straight approximation of "the actual net lifetime fiscal cost of illegal border-crossers, given their education levels, is possibly $140,000 to $150,000 each in their lifetimes." These numbers include costs like criminal justice, education, and general use of public services balanced against taxes paid, which for a great many illegal immigrants is net zero or negative. At 990,000 aliens per year, that would be a lifetime cost of between $138.6 billion and $148.5 billion our taxpayers are being forced to accept for a single year's flow. Crisis on the border. Should the president be able to appropriate funds that Congress has repeatedly denied him? It's a reasonable question, and the president is likely to be rebuked by Congress. What is plainly unreasonable is the claim that there is no crisis at the border. The president has repeatedly been accused of "manufacturing" a crisis. The situation at the border is fine, the president's loyal opposition would have everyone believe. This is nonsense. In February, apprehensions of illegal border crossers reached an 11-year high of 76,000. "The majority of border crossers are not single men but families — fathers from Honduras with adolescent boys they are pulling away from gang violence, mothers with toddlers from Guatemala," The New York Times reported. That makes it more difficult to turn them away. Many illegal migrants don't try to evade capture, but simply show up at the border and apply for asylum. DHS secretary says so many migrants are raped on the way to the U.S. that ICE gives EVERY girl 10 and older a pregnancy test. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Wednesday that young female migrants traveling north to the United States are raped with such regularity that Immigration and Customs Enforcement gives every girl age 10 and over a pregnancy test after arriving. 'Very unfortunately, because of the increase in violence, at ICE, when we have families with children, we have to give every girl a pregnancy test over 10. This is not a safe journey,' Nielsen told the House Homeland Security Committee. Doctors Without Borders reported in 2017 that '68.3 percent of the migrant and refugee populations entering Mexico' from Central America 'reported being victims of violence during their transit toward the United States.' GOP Rep. Kinzinger: Border 'Deserving' of National Emergency Because of Drugs, Human Trafficking. Wednesday [3/6/2019] on CNN's "New Day," Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) argued in favor of President Donald Trump's national emergency declaration at the southern border. Kinzinger, who visited the border and saw the situation firsthand, said there is a "really bad situation" at the border because of the drugs and human trafficking. House votes in favor of illegal immigrant voting. House Democrats voted Friday to defend localities that allow illegal immigrants to vote in their elections, turning back a GOP attempt to discourage the practice. The vote marks a stunning reversal from just six months ago, when the chamber — then under GOP control — voted to decry illegal immigrant voting. "We are prepared to open up the political process and let all of the people come in," Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat and hero of the civil rights movement, told colleagues as he led opposition to the GOP measure. Court gives illegal immigrants new right of appeal before deportation. Some illegal immigrants gained a new right of appeal Thursday when a federal appeals court ruled that Congress cannot prevent them from challenging their deportations in federal courts. The American Civil Liberties Union, which had argued the case, called it a "sweeping" decision that will give asylum-seekers the chance to make their case in a regular U.S. court, rather than being limited to bureaucrats and judges in the immigration court system. The ruling was issued by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and only applies to cases within that region — including the border states of California and Arizona. Blacks and the Democrats. The ongoing battle between Democrats and Republicans regarding the southern border is another clear example of how Democrats protect their power at the expense of the black community. Republicans are in favor of strong border security, which in addition to saving lives protects the economic stability of minorities. Democrats not only object to guarding against an increase in the flow of low-wage illegal workers which would economically destroy minority communities in the U.S. by bringing down wages, but have even suggested dismantling already existing boundaries, as was proposed by Beto O'Rourke, a rising star in the Democratic party. Democrats know full well that open borders will greatly increase the supply of low-skilled workers directly, negatively impacting lower-income earners in the U.S. If Democrats have their way and are successful in achieving open borders, it will have a disastrous impact in the black community, as well as with other minorities. Another judicial travesty on the 2020 Census citizenship question. [Scroll down] Here's the reality: motive is irrelevant. What [Wilbur] Ross said he wanted is one thing; he probably should have been more direct. But the right to know isn't irrelevant. And all that's being asked for in that Census questionnaire is information — information that every resident is legally bound to answer. The argument presented from the Left is that illegal aliens won't answer the Census if a citizenship question is on it, and they must be accommodated. Yet not answering is exactly what's breaking the law, not the question. Illegals have already broken immigration law by entering the U.S. illegally, setting up shop, having citizen children, and taking jobs. Many have stolen Americans' identification either to steal money or to pursue work. The fact that illegals are likely to display the same lawless attitude on the matter of answering the Census just illustrates the chain of lawlessness surrounding illegal immigration. In squelching the citizenship question, the judge is ruling that the Census should actually accommodate them, not the rest of us, and not the right to know. Yeah, this looks like a border crisis. More than 76,000 migrants crossed the southern border illegally last month, the highest number in 12 years. So much for all those media "fact checks" arguing that there's no emergency to justify President Trump's wall. Immigration officials say the number is only going to increase, creating what Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan warns is "a border security and a humanitarian crisis." Why are they coming in such vast numbers? Because smugglers have put them wise to how to take advantage of recent court decisions to claim asylum and remain here indefinitely. National Border Patrol Council President: There is a national emergency on our border — Here's proof. As a 21-year front line veteran Border Patrol agent and president of the National Border Patrol Council, I'd like to put to bed the false notion that there is no national emergency on the United States/Mexico border. I hope facts will do the trick. Since November of 2013, I've been called upon to give expert Congressional testimony about various aspects of border security on 18 separate occasions. I've testified before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, the Senate Judiciary Committee, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, the House Judiciary Committee, and the House Committee on Natural Resources. This is important because during every hearing regarding border security at which I testified in 2014, Democrats claimed the United States was in the state of a humanitarian crisis at the border. While Republicans agreed with the notion of a crisis, they argued it was one of immigration loophole exploitation. More Migrant Families Arrested at Border in Five Months Than Any Previous Full Year. From the start of the federal fiscal year in October through February, the Border Patrol arrested 136,150 people traveling as families for crossing the border illegally, according to data released Tuesday. The prior record for a 12-month period was 107,212, during the fiscal year that ended last September. The rapid acceleration is the latest illustration of how many parents and children are seeking asylum in the U.S., primarily to escape violence, poverty and hunger in Central America, according to migrants, advocates and law enforcement. And those with children in tow are typically detained for shorter periods than adults traveling alone, because of a 20-day limit on detaining minors. With Trump's Tough Deterrents, Many Asylum Seekers on the Border are Giving Up. Pushed beyond their limits by prolonged waits in dangerous and squalid conditions in parts of Northern Mexico, thousands of caravan members who had been waiting to seek asylum in the United States appear to have given up, Mexican officials said, dealing President Trump an apparent win after a humbling week for his immigration agenda. About 6,000 asylum seekers who had traveled en masse, many of them in defiance of Mr. Trump's demands that they turn around, arrived in Northern Mexico in late November as part of a caravan that originated in Honduras. Since then, more than 1,000 have accepted an offer to be returned home by the Mexican government, the officials said. Another 1,000 have decided to stay in Mexico, accepting work permits that were offered to them last fall, at the height of international consternation over how to deal with the growing presence of migrant caravans. 1,000 Caught Crossing Illegally Per Day at the Rio Grande — How Is This NOT a National Emergency? While the Democrats try and stop President Trump from closing the border, we have thousands of illegals crossing every week. How is this not a national emergency? Is the sovereignty of our nation not of interest to the Democrats? It certainly would appear that they are putting legal Americans last and have been for years. Without borders, we are not a nation. Sovereignty matters! Secure borders or process: Democrats, Congress need to decide what really matters. I went down to the border a few weeks ago. I'd listened to the career politicians in Washington argue about immigration and border security and the humanitarian crisis for weeks and weeks and it was all a bunch of hot air. I needed to get out of Washington and listen to the people who are actually on the ground, in the line of fire, doing the work. I met with Border Patrol agents and they told me they need more agents, they need more technology and yes, they need physical barriers. The Laredo Sector includes 171 miles of border between Texas and Mexico and Customs and Border Protection has approximately 1100 agents. Democrats wheel out an 'Illegal Immigration Stimulus Act' for 2019. After throwing away their chance to help DREAMers during February's extended budget debacle, refusing to exchange President Trump's wall funding for some kind of legislative amnesty for the favored aliens here illegally whom they claim to champion, House Democrats are coming out with a big new legislative bill, H.R. 6, the Dream and Promise Bill of 2019. House Votes to Terminate Trump's National Emergency. The House of Representatives voted today to terminate President Donald Trump's declaration of a national emergency, in a rare but welcome rebuke of executive overreach. H.J. Res 46, which reads simply "the national emergency declared by the finding of the President on February 15, 2019... is hereby terminated" passed on an 245-to-182 vote. The resolution commanded the support of all House Democrats, as well as 13 Republicans, including Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), the resolution's one GOP co-sponsor, and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). DHS official: Border security bill does not contain 'amnesty' poison pills. Immigration hawks slammed the border security compromise President Trump signed into law Friday for containing last-minute provisions that they argued give "amnesty" to many — but a Department of Homeland Security official insisted to Fox News that's a misunderstanding of the bill. The amnesty claim was made by lawmakers and conservative commentators. "This 'deal' provides de facto amnesty for anyone claiming to be even in the household of a potential sponsor of an unaccompanied alien minor," Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, wrote on Twitter Thursday [2/14/2019]. The facts about detention of families. ICE operates the facility in concert with Berks County. According to our guide, most of the residents only stay in the center for about two weeks as they await the next step in their cases. While touring the facility, we observed residents lounging in spacious accommodations that included pool tables, unlimited snacks and two libraries. There was little, if any, security presence. There were no barbed wire fences keeping residents from wandering too far after a basketball game outside. We asked our guide if anyone had ever left the facility, given the lax security. He responded, "Why would they want to?" before adding that some previous residents had actually tried to return to the facility after their release, wanting to stay longer. Mexican Authorities Relocate Hundreds of Migrants From Border City. Hundreds of Central American migrants encamped in Mexico's border city of Piedras Negras, across from Eagle Pass, Texas, are being reloca America. From 2010 to 2017 Obama also imported 680,000 people from Muslim-majority nations, even though Islamic theology urges believers to attack Americans. That inflow enlarged the Islamic population of the United States by 31 percent, CIS says. The inflow includes many temporary workers. Tucker Carlson plainly schools convicted felon Pied Piper who is bankrolling lawsuit for migrant caravan. Tucker Carlson schooled Mike Donovan — the convicted felon who's bankrolling the lawsuit filed against President Trump for violating the Constitutional "rights" of 12 members of the migrant caravan en route to the US to demand entry. In his lawsuit, Donovan claims that Trump's promise to deport the illegal immigrants violates the Fifth Amendment right to due process. Earth to Mike Donovan: they have no legal standing because they're not US citizens, nor are they on US soil. Vigil held in downtown Los Angeles in support of migrant caravan. A vigil was held outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles Thursday night in support of the migrant caravan that has been making its way north from Central America. Francisco Mayorga, a Nicaraguan immigrant, attended the vigil. Draped in the Nicaraguan flag, Mayorga questioned the timing of President Donald Trump's attacks on the migrant caravan, calling it a political stunt. Migration Lawyers Recruit Caravan Migrants to Defeat Trump's Asylum Reform. Pro-migration lawyers have recruited several Honduran caravan migrants to demand judges block President Donald Trump's asylum reforms, due for release next week. Caravan migrants get their very own Avenatti? With U.S. troops manning the U.S. border, caravan migrants rolling up from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, hoping to use legal loopholes to gain entry to the U.S., seem to have switched tactics. They're now using lawfare against the Trump administration instead of muscle. The 'Right' to Birthright Citizenship. So-called birthright citizenship comes to us from the 14th Amendment, and the problem is contained in its very first sentence: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States." Those who believe the 14th does not grant citizenship to the children of illegals, tourists, foreign embassy staff, and other foreign nationals, hang their hat on the "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" clause, which they back up with the speeches and debates given by the drafters of that clause. The original intent and purpose of the 14th was to guarantee citizenship for the recently emancipated slaves, not the children of lawbreaking foreigners 150 years in the future Border official: three-quarters of migrants in the caravan are adult men. Nearly three-quarters of those in the caravan of Central American migrants traveling through Mexico to the United States are adult men, a senior Border Patrol official told the Washington Examiner. Families and unaccompanied children make up "about 20 to 30 percent" of the caravan, according to Roy Villareal, deputy chief patrol agent of the Border Patrol's San Diego Sector. "The rest of that is single, adult males," Villareal said during a recent tour of the region. Single-parent families and children who illegally enter the country will not be prosecuted, unlike adults. Tucker Carlson: Establishment Siding With Foreigners Over Its Own People, That Tells You Everything. Tucker Carlson responded to outgoing House Speaker Paul Ryan and other opponents of ending birthright citizenship in a monologue on the Tuesday broadcast of his FOX News show. Carlson argued the Fourteenth Amendment is about guaranteeing citizenship to freed slaves, quoting the author of the author of the Amendment, Sen. Jacob Howard. "The Amendment was designed to ensure that newly freed slaves would be treated as the American citizens they were," Carlson said. "The point was to enfranchise African-Americans; the point was not to enable the rest of the world to scam our system, to abuse our generosity." "Trump supposedly will get us closer to the purpose of the Fourteenth Amendment," Carlson added. [Video clip] There is no better use for our military than guarding our own border. Evidently, our political class believes that the U.S. military was created solely for urban renewal and social work projects in Kabul, Baghdad, Raqqa, and Mogadishu, but not for the purpose of protecting our border. In fact, that is almost the only role of our military that our Founders envisioned. It is the one military deployment that the president can order unilaterally without a congressional declaration of war, because it is purely defensive. The president is right to deploy soldiers, because the time has come to treat our own border with as much respect and care as we would other countries' borders. Caravaners Sue. A half dozen members of the Honduras caravan have filed suit against President Trump and various other federal officials in a putative class action. You can read the complaint, which is venued in the District of Columbia, here. It is largely a Democratic Party screed against the President, with paragraphs like this: [...] You may well be surprised that Hondurans currently located in Mexico have rights under the U.S. Constitution. The complaint appears to be premature at best. But the reality is that asylum represents a massive loophole in our immigration laws. Asylum is supposed to be available to people who face persecution in their home countries on grounds of religion, race, etc. It was never intended to apply wholesale to entire populations on the ground that their country is poorly governed. CNN Refuses to Air Latest President Trump Campaign Ad with Caravan Pics — It's Too Effective!. The Trump campaign released a new campaign ad on Friday afternoon [11/2/2018]. The campaign is running nationally for a $1.55 Million ad buy. But Trump Campaign manager Brad Parscale says CNN refuses to run the president's ad. And they wonder why conservatives think they're fake news? [Video clip] Trump is right — ending birthright citizenship is constitutional. President Trump's announcement Tuesday [10/30/2018] that he is preparing an executive order to end birthright citizenship has the left and even some conservatives in an uproar. But the president is correct when he says that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution does not require universal birthright citizenship. An executive order by President Trump ending birthright citizenship would face a certain court challenge that would wind up in the Supreme Court. But based on my research of this issue over several years, I believe the president's view is consistent with the view of the framers of the amendment. Those who claim the 14th Amendment mandates that anyone born in the U.S. is automatically an American citizen are misinterpreting the amendment in a manner inconsistent with the intent of the amendment's framers. O'Rourke Campaign Exposed in Undercover Video for Assisting Honduran Migrants: 'Nobody Needs to Know'. A Project Veritas video released Thursday night [11/1/2018] shows Beto O'Rourke campaign staffers discussing how they can illegally use campaign resources to purchase supplies and assist in the transportation of Honduran migrants. [Video clip] Dominic Chacon, a Field Manager for the O'Rourke campaign in El Paso, Texas, expressed his concern in getting supplies to the caravan migrants. DHS: Caravan migrants from 20 countries, include 270 convicted criminals. The Department of Homeland Security claimed Thursday [11/1/2018] people from at least 20 countries make up the two caravan groups, not just citizens of Guatemala and Honduras. In a release called "Myth vs. Fact: Caravan," the department also states more than 270 people in the caravans are either known gang members or have criminal backgrounds. DHS did not cite its sources for the information and a department spokesperson said that information is law enforcement sensitive. American University Students Try And Guess Who Said What About Immigration. Students at American University in Washington, D.C., tried to guess who said what about immigration to The Daily Caller News Foundation. Most of the students guessed the quotes read to them came from President Donald Trump. The quotes actually came from former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, as well as former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. Many students were surprised to find today's Democrats speaking with such enthusiasm when it came to cracking down on illegal immigration only two decades ago. Caravan 2018: Invasion By Emigration. [Scroll down] Let us return to what three Democrats have said as to illegal immigration: Sen. Harry Reid in 1993 — "no sane country would do that" — reward illegal immigration; President Clinton in 1995 — "We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws." And President Obama numerous times [said] that he lacked authority to act on immigration without Congressional approval. The Editor says... Democrats don't understand this surprising secret of Trump's success. There is no question that President Trump is the most disruptive force in politics today. The president has torn up every political playbook. His political survival after two years in office is a modern-day miracle, and his polling numbers are even running ahead of where Presidents Obama and Clinton were at this point. President Trump's most powerful weapon so far has not been the insult — which he certainly has been willing to use — but the idea. Take his idea for ending birthright citizenship. Can't say I support it. I don't. But it's not an insult, a racial epithet, or an off-color joke. It's an idea that focuses on how an open-borders policy reverberates. And it's even an idea that former Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid of Nevada once passionately supported. How Progressives Killed Birthright Citizenship. Progressives may very well have set the table for the end of birthright citizenship by executive order or legislation during the 1990s. This was not their intention, of course, but in their unprincipled pursuit of political power, they unwittingly might have choked off all attempts to cover birthright citizenship in a constitutional mantle. "Nobody needs to know" Beto Campaign Appears to Illegally Spend Funds on Supplies for Caravan Aliens, Campaign Manager Says "Don't Worry". Project Veritas Action Fund has released undercover video from current Congressman and US Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke's campaign. The video exposes how his campaign staff appear to be illegally using campaign resources to buy supplies and help transport Honduran aliens. This is the eighth undercover video report Project Veritas has released in a series revealing secrets and lies from political campaigns in 2018. Migrant caravan coordinator says demand for Mexico to provide buses has 'failed'. The leading migrant caravan trying to make its way to the United States border is admitting defeat after asking the Mexican government to provide dozens of buses to speed up the group's journey northward. The setback comes days after caravan leaders asked for "safe and dignified" transport to Mexico City, a checkpoint along the way for a group that has been dwindling in size as members either apply for protected status in Mexico or drop out over fatigue exacerbated by the sweltering weather conditions they have been facing. Trump to curtail asylum at border, build tent cities to hold migrants. President Trump announced a major change in U.S. asylum policy Thursday [11/1/2018], saying the government will no longer allow migrants who jump the border to turn around and claim asylum in an attempt to gain a foothold here. The president said migrants who show up at the official land ports of entry will still be allowed to make claims, but blocking claims by those who sneak into the U.S. could change the patterns and cut down on the caravans now headed for the border. Migrants traveling to US sue Trump, government; claim violation of constitutional rights. A dozen migrants traveling by foot from Honduras to the U.S. to seek asylum filed a class-action lawsuit Thursday against President Trump, the Department of Homeland Security and others, claiming a violation of their due process under the Fifth Amendment. The Fifth Amendment states that, "no person... shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." A recent PBS report cited former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who ruled in 1993 case that "it is well established that the Fifth Amendment entitles aliens to due process of law in a deportation proceeding." Proof Democrats Are Trying to Steal the Election. Let me share the hate Democrats are sending out daily in texts to voters. I guarantee normal Americans will be revolted. First of all, these Democrat "get out the vote" texts I am bombarded with all day, every day, arrived without ever asking for my permission. That's a violation of the law. Secondly, most of them arrive in Spanish, which tells me that either Democrats assume the typical Democrat voter no longer speaks English... or they have me on a list aimed directly at foreign-born, non English speakers. It is telling what they are saying to these foreign-born Democrat voters. These texts from liberal groups claim that we must vote for Democrats because Trump and Nevada U.S. Senator Dean Heller "will deport and jail your family. Trump and Heller hate Mexicans. Vote." Citizen Birthright Can Be Defeated and Kavanaugh Will Be Instrumental. Conservatives tend to favor an original construction interpretation of the Constitution. To do this, one must look at the spirit, i.e., reason, time and current events that led up to a new amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment has nothing to do with illegal immigrants. A significant takeaway from Justice Kavanaugh hearings was the interpretation of the Constitution is essential. He talked in great length about the spirit of an amendment when drafted and implemented. Justice Kavanaugh is an originalist and looks deep into the purpose of modification. In July of 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment was ratified and placed into law. The spirit of the new amendment was not about illegal aliens. It had nothing to do with the issue. At that time, the last addition to the Constitution abolished slavery, which took place in the Thirteenth Amendment. Adversaries to the freedom of released slaves were starting to create laws, i.e., Jim Crow, in an attempt to end around the Thirteenth Amendment. They tried to undermine federal law, causing dissension between states and the Federal Government, bringing forth a need for the Fourteenth Amendment. Trump hardens stance on Mexico border, says 15,000 troops could be sent. U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday [10/31/2018] the United States could send as many as 15,000 troops to the border with Mexico, as he hardens his stance against a caravan of migrants fleeing violence and poverty in Central America. Why are Dems getting so worked up about birthright citizenship? The Dems and the media are having another Trump-induced stroke over the issue of "birthright citizenship." The Dems; the media; and Paul Ryan, the speaker of the House, would have you believe that the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees U.S. citizenship to anyone born in this country. The 14th Amendment was passed by a Republican Congress after the Civil War to guarantee citizenship and equal rights to the freed slaves. [...] The 14th Amendment does not guarantee citizenship to everyone born in the USA. The language states that the persons born or naturalized, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens. If you are a naturalized citizen, you take an oath to defend the U.S. Constitution and renounce allegiance to foreign powers and thus subject yourself to the jurisdiction of the USA. Levin and Horowitz: Yes, Trump can end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants with an executive order. [Daniel] Horowitz told [Mark] Levin that President Trump has the authority to issue an executive order clarifying how the executive branch will interpret the 14th Amendment concerning the citizenship status of children born in the United States to illegal aliens. He said that those who say otherwise, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., are "constitutionally illiterate." "Let's put this in plain English here," Horowitz said. "Basically they're saying, Mark, I could break into your home, kick down the door, drop a kid there, and he has the right to live there for the remainder of his life and there's not a darn thing you can do about it." "The reality is that even if we agree to the notion of birthright citizenship ... there is no way you could extrapolate that to people who came here without consent. The key words are 'consent' and 'sovereignty.' Nothing ever supersedes that. Nobody could unilaterally assert jurisdiction and make it that there's nothing we can do to stop this," he continued. The Caravan Is Not Coming Because It's Already Here. The mostly military age males on the way to the U.S. southern border are not wearing pink [protest] caps, but they might as well be. Instead they're carrying little flags honoring the very countries they claim they must escape, and rather than screeching like the Women's March protesters did, they break into their national anthem whenever the media is about. The Caravan Mission, like the Big Women's March the first day after President Donald Trump's Inauguration, was painstakingly organized long before the pink cap protesters ever hit the streets. Not even ganged-up social media or flash mobs can put millions of protesters on the street overnight. Mark Levin: Paul Ryan Is 'Utterly Wrong' on Birthright Citizenship. Tuesday [10/30/2018] on his nationally syndicated radio, conservative talker Mark Levin criticized House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) for dismissing President Donald Trump's claim in an interview with Axios that he could end the immigration policy of birthright citizenship through an executive order. Ryan contended that a president could not end birthright citizenship "with an executive order" in an interview with Lexington, KY radio station WVLK. Obama's Migration Record: Almost One Migrant for Every Two Graduates in 2016. President Barack Obama spiked legal and illegal immigration to a record level of 1.75 million in 2017 by accepting one migrant for every two young Americans who entered the workforce in 2017." The huge inflow matched the record set in 1999 when Bill Clinton was president. Obama's wave of legal immigrants, illegal migrants, and visa workers rose from 1.1 million in 2009 to 1.75 million in 2017. In the same year, roughly four million Americans turned 18 and joined the workforce. The four million Americans included the children of immigrants as well as the children of illegal migrants. Birthright Citizenship: It's About The Law, Not Mob Rule. President Trump's comment that he might end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens certainly deserves both political and legal debate over its merits. What it doesn't deserve is another shrill, nonstop "Trump is Hitler" attack by far-left Democrats and the media. Operation Faithful Patriot: Video Shows Hundreds of Military Vehicles Being Shipped to Southern Border. President Trump said on Wednesday to a pool of White House reporters that he may send upwards of 10,000-15,000 troops to the southern border to deal with the horde of mainly military-aged male migrants marching through Mexico to the United States. "As far as the caravan is concerned, our military is out... we'll go up to anywhere between 10 and 15,000 military personnel, on top of Border Patrol, ICE and everybody else at the border," Trump said, according to Reuters. Earlier this week, the military was to deploy 5,000 troops to the southern border in anticipation of the migrant caravan in a mission dubbed 'Operation Faithful Patriot.' Caravan Hopping the Bus. Fox News reporter Bill La Jeunesse seemed to me to be performing public relations work on behalf of the migrant caravan in his regular live hits from Mexico. Either that or he had succumbed to a variant of Stockholm Syndrome. Has Griff Jenkins relieved him? [...] Yesterday [10/30/2018] Jenkins reported that buses had mysteriously appeared to move the caravan along (video below). Who is defraying the expenses? Jenkins says it is the state of Oaxaca "getting volunteer buses to put people... on them and take them to their next location." Now I can see why the state of Oaxaca might want to help the multitude move on, but I'd want to hear more before buying the concept of "volunteer buses." Jenkins counts 11 buses and notes that more would be needed to move the entire multitude. Except for the factor of the buses, this is a confusing report. Now a fourth caravan has left El Salvador. Some 2,000 migrants traveling in two groups departed El Salvador's capital Wednesday morning [10/31/2018] on their way to the US by way of Mexico, making it the fourth caravan to embark on the 1,000-journey in the last two weeks. This latest group hit the road even as President Donald Trump promised to send thousands of troops — possibly as many as up to 7,000 by some estimates to secure the southern border and increased pressure on Mexico to halt the flow of people. Police in San Salvador estimated the two groups leaving the capital numbered around 1,000 each. One cohort left around dawn, followed by a second later in the morning. The Editor says... Ending Birthright Citizenship. American history familiar to many high school students demonstrates how wrong birthright citizenship is. Indians living on reservations were not American citizens for most of our history, despite being born in our country. Native Americans were considered members only of their sovereign Indian tribes, until Congress extended blanket citizenship in 1924. Similarly, children born to foreign ambassadors while in the United States are not American citizens, but are citizens of their country of origin. In their crusade against President Trump, globalists trot out alleged experts claiming that Trump's proposal is impossible, unconstitutional, or morally wrong. But the hysterical overreaction by his critics proves how right Trump is. The Case Against Birthright Citizenship. A heated national conversation about birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment is currently underway, and we think many politicians, pundits, and scholars on both the right and left are getting it wrong. Claremont Institute scholars have been thinking and writing about this problem for many years. Levin: Paul Ryan was dead wrong on birthright citizenship. Here's how. Tuesday [10/30/2018] on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin ripped Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., for his response to President Trump's statement that he plans to issue an executive order to end birthright citizenship. Ryan claimed the 14th Amendment creates the birthright citizenship and that therefore such an executive order would be unconstitutional. "There's been no law passed that conveys birthright citizenship onto illegal aliens. There's been no Supreme Court decision that definitively confers birthright citizenship onto illegal alien children. Nobody's a hundred percent certain how this came to be. But everybody seems to be a hundred percent certain that the president can't fix it. ... Well, does the Constitution confer birthright citizenship on the children of illegal aliens? Of course it doesn't!" The caravan of the saints. This is what you get when you permit the impoverishment of an entire continent, and then exploit the undocumented labour of those able to escape[.] Harry Reid In 1993: 'No Sane Country' Would Give Citizenship To People Born From Illegal Aliens. President Donald Trump said on Monday [10/29/2018] that he would pursue an executive order to outlaw birthright citizenship just days before the November midterm elections, which, as expected, caused a meltdown from the political Left. "It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment," Trump said in an interview. "Guess what? You don't. You can definitely do it with an act of Congress. But now they're saying I can do it just with an executive order... We're the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States... with all of those benefits. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. And it has to end." Democratic politicians and left-leaning organizations immediately jumped on Trump's comments, claiming that he was trying to "fan the flames of anti-immigrant" hate and that he was trying to "incite his base." Armed Migrants in Caravan Opened Fire on Mexican Cops, Say Authorities. Mexican authorities arrested two Hondurans who allegedly shot at federal police officers escorting the migrant caravan across the southern state of Chiapas. The attack follows shortly after government warnings about Molotov cocktail attacks around a second caravan near the border with Guatemala. The attack took place near Ignacio Zaragoza, Chiapas, when members of Mexico's Federal Police were escorting the migrant caravan as part of "Operativo Caminante" or "Operation Walker" across the southern border state. Report: Central American Migrants Set Fire to Mexican Immigration Facility. A group of Central American migrants facing deportation set fire to a Mexican immigration facility in an apparent attempt to escape. The alleged arson comes at a time when Mexican authorities reported the use of firearms and Molotov cocktails within the migrant caravans as they make their way through Mexico to the United States. The fire was reportedly started at a facility dual-purposed as a checkpoint and makeshift detention center for Mexico's National Migration Institute (INM) in Pijijiapan, Chiapas, when a group of migrants housed there set fire to their mattresses, Televisa Noticias reported. According to local public safety director Jaime Marroquin, authorities were housing 21 men, five women, and three children which were in the process of being deported. The migrants reportedly set fires to give cover to their escape. Human Smuggler Unloads 16 Migrants on South Texas Ranch, Says Border Patrol. Laredo Sector Border Patrol agents witnesses a human smuggler crash a pickup truck loaded with 16 migrants through a rancher's gate and into a fence. Fortunately, no one was injured in the crash. Laredo Sector agents patrolling near Hebbronville, Texas, observed a pickup truck loaded with a group of migrants traveling on FM 649. As the agents began to follow, the driver made a sharp turn and crashed through a ranch gate, according to Laredo Sector Border Patrol officials. The agents pursued the vehicle into the ranch and found it after the driver crashed into a fence. The agents witnessed a large number of people bailing out following the crash, officials stated. Yes, Unvetted Illegal Caravans Threaten Public Health. From Newsweek, which is supposed to, you know, report actual news of the week: "'We don't know what people have': Laura Ingraham calls migrant caravan a health issue." And from The Daily Beast: "Fox & Friends Host Brian Kilmeade Fears 'Diseases' Brought By Migrant Caravan." This is not "news." It's propaganda recycled and regurgitated by lazy political operatives masquerading as journalists. At least the Newsweek writer gave credit to his zealous hitmen sources: "Ingraham's comments," he dutifully wrote, "were first highlighted by Media Matters for America." MMfA is a militant left-wing oppo research outfit funded by progressive billionaire George Soros. Somehow, not-really-Newsweek forgot to mention this fact. Revoking birthright citizenship would enforce the Constitution. Temporary visitors, such as tourists, students and guest workers, can unilaterally confer citizenship on their children merely by giving birth while here, is the claim. That view has given rise to the cottage industry known as "birth tourism." Worse, under this view, citizenship is automatic even if the parents overstay their visas and become illegally present in the United States. Worse still, such citizenship is automatic for children born of parents who were never lawfully present in the United States in the first place. In a nation such as the United States, which is rooted in the idea that governments are formed based on the consent of the governed, the notion that foreign nationals can unilaterally confer citizenship on their children as the result of illegal entry to the United States (and therefore entirely without our consent) is a bit bizarre. It rewards lawlessness, undermining the rule of law. It deprives Congress of its constitutional authority to determine naturalization power. Birthright Citizenship and Its Allies. In 1989, an illegal alien being escorted back to the border gave birth in an Immigration and Naturalization Service van. That child was an American, thanks to our granting citizenship to children born on U.S. soil — a generosity that also extends to children born on any one of 15 islands between the Philippines and Hawaii. Our promiscuity with citizenship, however "generous" it may seem, effaces the salience of an institution central to the concept of nationhood. That is doubtless what President Trump had in mind when he told reporters from Axios that he intends to sign an executive order that would put a stop to America's birthright citizenship policy. Why Democrats are staying silent about the migrant caravan. Four months ago, critics on the left wouldn't shut up about the border and some, like Mayor Bill de Blasio, made grandstanding trips to Texas detention facilities and held press conferences to denounce Trump in the harshest possible language. Now, despite the president's tough talk and use of the military, leftist pols hardly make a peep, fearful that defending the caravan could be political suicide. Mexican State Reportedly Providing Charter Buses To Drive Migrant Caravan Closer To US Border. The migrant caravan originating from Central America reportedly has a new method of reaching the U.S. border with Mexico: professional charter buses. Fox News reporter Griff Jenkins reported Tuesday [10/30/2018] from Mexico that the thousands-strong migrant caravan is now being chartered to the U.S. border by tour bus. Jenkins showed multiple professional buses lined up and boarding migrants to take them to their next destination on the path to the American border. Trump, the 14th Amendment, the Caravan, and the Constitution. In today's installment of exploding heads, President Trump has proposed to overturn, via executive order, the constitutionally dubious "birthright citizenship" interpretation of the 14th Amendment. There's no question he has the authority to issue such an order in his capacity as president and commander-in-chief — each of the three branches is equally responsible for fidelity to the Constitution, and each is free to interpret it as it sees fit. That the 14th amendment — the centerpiece of the Reconstruction Amendments passed and ratified under the Johnson and Grant administrations, but proposed and voted in by the Radical Republicans in Congress — applies specifically and only to the newly freed slaves is clear not only from its historical context, but to its very language: [...] As the Caravan Approaches: There Probably Will Be Blood. There seems no way that the caravan of 4,000 [to] 14,000 migrants approaching our southern border is going to end without blood being shed. [...] Let it be clear: If we let them in — and, yes, they are people with feelings and sensitivities and loves and hopes and dreams — then there will be another Caravan after it, and next time it will be a Caravan of 10-15,000 sensitive lovers and hopers and dreamers. And three months later it will be another Caravan. And then another. What $38 million cash raised and wasted in one calendar quarter could not buy for Beto O'Rourke and his Kennedyesque DUI driving record and his Kennedyesque attempt to flee from the scene, the hordes will solve: Texas really will turn bold shades of "overnight blue." Arizona will turn blue. Alabama and Mississippi will turn blue. North Dakota and Montana and Idaho will turn blue. We will lose this country — exactly as the Democrat playbook seeks. Mexico's ambassador to U.S. claims there are very violent migrants in caravan. Mexico's U.S. Ambassador — Geronimo Gutierrez — is blasting Democrats for saying everyone in the migrant caravan are all peaceful refugees seeking asylum. On Tuesday [10/30/2018], Gutierrez explained there have been multiple instances where migrants have been "very violent," while rebelling against border authorities. This comes after Mexican officials warned some migrants in Guatemala are building makeshift bombs to use against police officers guarding the border between Mexico and Guatemala. Donald Trump: Birthright Citizenship 'Will Be Ended One Way or the Other'. President Donald Trump vowed Wednesday [10/31/2018] to continue fighting to end "so-called birthright citizenship." "So-called Birthright Citizenship, which costs our Country billions of dollars and is very unfair to our citizens, will be ended one way or the other," he wrote on Twitter. The president's proposal to issue an executive order to end birthright citizenship was revealed by Axios reporter Jonathan Swan on Tuesday [10/30/2018] during an interview with Trump. Birthright citizenship is a scam. There is no other word for it. Under current interpretations of American law anyone born on our soil automatically becomes a U.S. citizen. Context is irrelevant. It doesn't matter if your parents were terrorists or illegal aliens or foreign saboteurs if their plane was forced down to refuel and you emerged. It doesn't matter. If you were born on our property, you are a citizen. In a recent interview with Axios, President Trump suggested this is not a great deal for America. He pledged to change it with an executive order. As of right now, it seems likely that order would abolish so-called "birth" tourism. That's where people travel to the United States solely for the purpose of having kids and winning citizenship along with the many benefits that follow from that. We'll know more about it soon and of course, we'll tell you when we do know. But nobody else in Washington is waiting for details. They hate it already. Trump is right — ending birthright citizenship is constitutional. President Trump's announcement Tuesday that he is preparing an executive order to end birthright citizenship has the left and even some conservatives in an uproar. But the president is correct when he says that the 14th Amendment to the Constitution does not require universal birthright citizenship. An executive order by President Trump ending birthright citizenship would face a certain court challenge that would wind up in the Supreme Court. But based on my research of this issue over several years, I believe the president's view is consistent with the view of the framers of the amendment. Those who claim the 14th Amendment mandates that anyone born in the U.S. is automatically an American citizen are misinterpreting the amendment in a manner inconsistent with the intent of the amendment's framers. Mexico making caravan walk, not ride, to the US border. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Wednesday [10/31/2018] that Mexico has taken significant steps to slow down the caravan of Central American migrants as it makes its way toward the southern U.S. border. In a Fox News interview, Sanders said specifically that Mexico has helped make sure caravan members stay marching on their feet, and aren't taking buses or other transportation. Birthright citizenship needs fixing. What President Trump plans to change about birthright citizenship is a mystery. But his comment to a reporter on the subject sent the commentariat into a tizzy. Some raised valid constitutional and legal objections. As House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., noted, "you cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order," and the Constitution does, broadly, prescribe citizenship for babies born in the U.S. But Democrats and their media allies risk overreaching if they think the public agrees with their absolutist view on the matter. The question is, ought we to confer citizenship to every baby born here. We suspect that most people agree, as we do, that children born here to illegal immigrants and legal passers-through should not get citizenship automatically, but children born to permanent residents should. 'Migrant caravan' has no right to be here. Amid the conspiracy theories and the bloody madness revolving about the matter, we've never quite settled on the proper nomenclature: What do we call thousands of Central Americans tramping towards our southern border intent on entering our country and living here? "Migrant caravan" has a pleasant ring to it, as though this were a modern-day Canterbury Tales. But theirs is not a pilgrimage from which the travelers will one day return home. This is a body of people the size of a town population looking to relocate to the United States whether the citizens of this country like it or not. Caravan Contradictions. A "caravan" — the euphemism for a current foot-army of more than 10,000 Central Americans — of would-be border crossers has now passed into Mexico. The marchers promise they will continue 1,000 miles and more northward to the U.S. border, despite warnings from President Trump that as unauthorized immigrants they will be turned away. No one has yet explained how, or by whom or what, such a mass of humanity has been supplied, cared for, and organized. Once at the border, the immigrants further predict that they will successfully, but illegally, enter the United States, then claim refugee status, and finally rely on sympathetic public opinion — and progressive political activism — to avoid deportation. If past experience is any guide, they are quite right in thinking they can melt into the population, ignore future legal summonses, and count on the de facto amnesty that currently protects 22 million illegal aliens, the vast majority from Mexico and Central America. Second migrant caravan storms into Mexico. The second migrant caravan, believed to be armed with bombs and guns, crossed into Mexico on Monday despite a huge police presence. Hundreds of migrants following in the footsteps of the first caravan heading to the U.S. border crossed a river from Guatemala. A low-flying police helicopter hovered overhead as the migrants waded in large groups through the Suchiate River's murky waters, apparently trying to use the downdraft from its rotors to discourage them. When Refugees Were Conquerors. Ah, the refugee caravan. Would it be a midterm election without a bunch of oppressed brown-skinned asylum seekers storming the border? In a way, these refugees are like cicadas, appearing with clockwork predictability anytime the powers-that-be need a good "humanitarian crisis" to tug on voters' heartstrings. So now we have the Hondurans, marching toward the border, holding the flag of their native country, demanding political asylum because (according to them) if they were to stay in their native country, they'd be slaughtered by their beloved countrymen. But hey, let's proudly wave the flag of that native country made up of [bad people] who want us dead. Remember when all those Jewish refugees from Germany in the 1930s arrived in the U.S. waving Nazi flags? No? Neither do I. I mean, I hate to come off as suspicious or untrusting, but it seems a little odd to be haughtily displaying the flag of a country that you are supposedly fleeing because everyone there wants to murder you. Democratic Attacks: Who's Paying? [Scroll down] Similarly, the Honduran caravan seems just too convenient and perfectly timed to be a coincidence, doesn't it? All of a sudden, 10,000-plus politically oppressed people just absolutely have to make their way to the U.S. border, right now, just as the midterm elections are upon us. The Democrats once again have brought forth one of their favored issues: Republican hardheartedness, coldly turning away pregnant women and helpless, undernourished children from a better life in America. Well, that just isn't who America is, is it? [...] The question that seems obvious is, how did this caravan come to be? Why now? How do they eat, and who provides for their basic sanitary, transportation, and shelter needs along the path of their valiant, arduous journey? It's a long trek. It ain't free. Who's paying? Who's the organizer?
Migrant Caravan Demands Mexico Provide Them Transportation. The massive chain of migrants slowly making its way towards the U.S. southern border, which is still some 1,000 miles north, is now demanding that the Mexican government provide transportation for its estimated 4,000 participants — demands issued amid reports of outbreaks of violence as more groups have forced their way through Mexico's southern border. "Worn down from long miles of walking and frustrated by the caravan's slow progress, some migrants have been dropping out and returning home or applying for protected status in Mexico," AP reports. Can Trump End Birthright Citizenship With An Executive Order? On Monday [10/29/2018], President Trump announced to Axios on HBO that he would pursue an executive order to outlaw birthright citizenship just before the election. "It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment," Trump stated. "Guess what? You don't." He then added, "You can definitely do it with an act of Congress. But now they're saying I can do it just with an executive order... We're the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States... with all of those benefits. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. And it has to end." Trump isn't wrong that the United States is one of only two developed countries to maintain birthright citizenship (the other is Canada). But it's dicey whether an executive order could simply change birthright citizenship, or whether an act of Congress could. Birthright Citizenship And How All Amendments Aren't Created Equal. This morning [10/30/2018] the big buzz is President Trump's statement to the effect that he intends to end birthright citizenship. Trump told "Axios on HBO" that he has run the idea of ending birthright citizenship by his counsel and plans to proceed with the highly controversial move, which certainly will face legal challenges. [...] I suspect that any executive order that tries to do this will eventually be invalidated by the Supreme Court based on Article 1, Section 8, of the Constitution. It would be nice if the Supreme Court didn't take the easy way out, though, because I welcome a full-blown challenge to the idea of birthright citizenship simply to put the idea to rest. President Trump reveals plan to use executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of illegals. Expect an explosion of media outrage and high powered lawsuits, especially in jurisdictions with Trump-hating federal judges. President Trump has launched an October surprise. Last night [10/29/2018] in an interview granted to Jonathan Swan of Axios, President Trump announced his plans to use an executive order to end birthright citizenship for children born on American territory to illegal immigrants and foreign citizens, presumably at least those "not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States" as required by the 14th Amendment. Trump: We Will Hold Asylum Seekers in Tent Cities Until Their Trial. During an interview broadcast on Monday's edition of the Fox News Channel's "Ingraham Angle," President Trump stated that asylum applicants will be held in tent cities until their hearing takes place, and people with rejected asylum applications will "get out." Trump stated, "If they apply for asylum, we're going to hold them until such time as their trial takes place." The Left Goes Full Open Borders. It wasn't long ago that both sides of the aisle believed America's border laws should be enforced. As President Donald Trump pointed out on Twitter, even former President Barack Obama, at least rhetorically, said that illegal immigrants couldn't be let into the country en masse and without restrictions (Obama said that when he was a senator). "We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently, and lawfully to become immigrants into this country," Obama said. This dynamic has shifted dramatically, as the American left now increasingly sees any level of border enforcement as beyond the pale. The migrant caravans originating in Honduras and heading north to the U.S. border are testing just how far the left will go in embracing this new narrative. Migrant Caravan: A Foreign-Financed, Leftist-Led Violation Of U.S. Sovereignty. The so-called migrant caravan that's slowly making its way to the U.S. from Central America is many things to many people. But one thing seems pretty certain: it's not about seeking "asylum," or "refugee status." It's about getting to the United States at all costs. Migrant caravan appears to be moving northward faster, as crowds take advantage of free rides. Migrants in the leading caravan trying to make its way to the United States appear to be approaching the border at a faster pace now, as the group takes advantage of rides being offered by trucks and other vehicles. A Fox News crew traveling with the caravan observed a group of migrants in Tepanatepec climbing up the sides of a tall red truck Monday morning after it pulled into an area where the city's mayor and volunteers were distributing food. Violence Erupts: Caravan Migrant Killed At Mexican Border; Police Deny Responsibility. On Sunday [10/28/2018], a new wave of hundreds of migrants heading toward the U.S. attempted to force their way over Mexico's southern border. Violence erupted, leaving one of the migrants dead after what the group says was a rubber bullet fired by Mexican federal police struck him in the head. Mexican authorities, however, deny that their security forces are to blame. The incident took place at the border near Tecun Uman, where the group of migrants "broke through border barriers," as another group had done last week. The situation quickly devolved into violence. Migrant Caravan: U.S. Military Will Have Up to 14,000 Troops, Many Armed, Ready to Intervene at Mexico Border. The U.S. military will have an actual force of up to 14,000 ready to intervene at the southern border with Mexico, including an additional 7,000 planned deployment in reserves on round-the-clock standby. The Pentagon announced Monday [10/29/2018] that it will send up to 5,200 troops to the border ahead of the anticipated arrival of a caravan of Central American migrants that President Donald Trump has warned would not be able to enter the country. These troops, which "are in fact deploying with weapons" will join up to 2,000 National Guards already at the border for a combined force of about 7,200 — or about the same amount of U.S. soldiers involved in the battle against the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria. Report: Trump to Expand Military Border Deployment from 800 to 5,000. Reports on Monday [10/29/2018] indicate that President Donald Trump will order an expansion of the U.S. military deployment to the U.S. southwest border. The order is expected to increase the number of troops being deployed from 800 to 5,000. The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday morning that the U.S. military plans to deploy 5,000 troops to the southwest border region in response to the caravan of "would-be asylum seekers." The plans reportedly call for 1,800 troops to deploy to Texas, 1,700 to Arizona, and 1,500 to California. The Military's Most Important Role Is Border Defense. Our country has been thrust into a scene out of The Camp of the Saints: a large caravan of migrants organized in Honduras is streaming towards our southern border proclaiming the right to enter and work in our country. They're not invited, nor is this legal, but they are seizing their destiny (and ours) as pueblos sin fronteras, "workers without borders." Some have scoffed at the description of this "caravan" as an invasion, dismissing it as right-wing hyperbole. But what is the difference? Formal or informal, through modern armies or tribal warriors, invasions are objects of concern because they determine who controls a land and its resources. United Nations: Trump Must Allow Caravan Migrants into America. International officials with the United Nations (UN) Refugee Agency say President Trump must allow a caravan of Central Americans into the United States to seek asylum. As Breitbart News has chronicled, migrants with an at least 7,000-strong caravan have repeatedly admitted that they are traveling to the U.S. to seek jobs, re-enter the U.S. as previously deported illegal aliens, and flee crime. One previously deported illegal alien with the caravan even admitted that he was convicted of attempted murder in the U.S. None of these cases are eligible asylum claims. Pelosi on Caravan: Republicans Have 'Baseless Fear of Some Families 1,000 Miles Away from the Border'. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi issued a statement about immigration on Friday in which she said Republicans were using "fearmongering rhetoric." "The GOP is desperate to change the conversation from their assault on Americans' health care to the baseless fear of some families 1,000 miles away from the border," Pelosi said, referring to the "caravan" of thousands of people now heading north though Mexico toward the U.S. border. Trump sends 5,200 troops backed by Blackhawks, drones and C-130s in the air to the Mexican border to 'deter' caravan from ever arriving. The Pentagon is dispatching 5,200 active military troops to 'harden' the southern border and comply with President Donald Trump's order to deter an immigrant caravan the president called an 'invasion', it said Monday [10/29/2018]. Eight hundred troops were already en route Monday — a force the Defense Department is dramatically increasing by adding helicopter companies and engineers who are bringing 'heavy equipment.' In total DOD is sending 5,200 troops to 'harden' the border, the Pentagon said at a briefing Monday. Trump can refuse to accept asylum applications. Many people mistakenly believe that asylum seekers have a right to apply for asylum in the United States. The first paragraph in the Immigration and Nationality Act's (INA) asylum provisions provides that aliens physically present in the United States "may" apply for asylum. But the second paragraph provides the following three exceptions, and asylum may be denied on the basis of disqualifying conduct, such as having been convicted of a particularly serious crime. Migrant caravan halfway through journey to U.S. Thousands of migrants who are enduring brutal conditions on their journey are determined to reach the United States border, despite an offer of refuge in Mexico. Migrants in Caravan Reject Mexico's Offer for Help, Heading to U.S. Instead. Mexico's government unveiled a plan to provide employment, health care, and education to thousands of Central American migrants who are part of the caravan that is traveling from Honduras towards the U.S border. Migrants in Caravan Turn Down Mexican Offer of Work Permits, Asylum. Only about 1700 of the estimated 7,000 Central American refugees in a caravan heading to the U.S. border have accepted an offer from the Mexican government for asylum. The rest, now about 1,000 miles from the U.S. border, are continuing on their way. The Mexican offer of asylum seems fairly substantial. Migrants nix offer to stay in Mexico. Hundreds of Mexican federal officers carrying plastic shields blocked a Central American caravan from advancing toward the United States on Saturday, after a group of several thousand migrants turned down the chance to apply for refugee status and obtain a Mexican offer of benefits. David Clarke: '14 or 15 Thousand People Storming Your Border Is an Invasion'. David Clarke, former Milwaukee sheriff and current spokesperson for America First Action, told Breitbart News that a migrant caravan approaching the U.S. is "an invasion." [...] Clarke said, "I want to thank the president for remaining firm on protecting the southern border from this trespassing. This is an invasion of the United States. Illegal immigration has boiled to the top of issues going into the midterms. ... It will remain a top issue." Mattis: Military moving equipment to border ahead of migrant caravan. The U.S. military has already begun delivering jersey barriers to the southern border in conjunction with plans to deploy active duty troops there, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Sunday as a caravan of Central Americans slowly heads across Mexico toward the United States. Only Congress Can Prevent the Next Border Surge. A thousand miles or so from the southern U.S. border, Central American migrants are on the march. What began with around 5,000 people has swelled to as many as 14,000 — and possibly more. They have traveled on foot approximately 500 miles so far, walking through immigration checkpoints in Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico with minimal resistance. Their stated aim is to enter the United States, even if they have to break our laws to do it. Migrant caravan to rest following report of abducted child. Coordinators of a caravan of several thousand Central American migrants moving through southern Mexico urged its members to rest Sunday. At first the migrants vowed to press on anyway but later changed their minds amid reports that a child had been abducted. The Caravan Exposes the Democrats. Shouldn't it be easy for Pelosi and Schumer to just say that the people in the caravan should not be allowed to walk right into the country, that any legitimate asylum claims will be processed according to the normal fashion, and that they advise anyone, especially vulnerable people, against making a 1,000-mile journey through Mexico with people they do not know? Maybe it should be easy to say that, but it isn't. In a way, it's odd that Democrats can't at least pay lip service to immigration enforcement. After all, their recent promises on the matter have been taken in the same spirit as Hillary Clinton's and Barack Obama's onetime opposition to same-sex marriage. These are things Democrats feel compelled to say to appease a retrograde electorate, but they don't mean it and they won't follow through on it. Democrats Using Cloward-Piven as their Midterm Hail Mary Pass. Cloward-Piven is a political strategy first described in 1966, by two Columbia University sociologists, Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. This was published appropriately in the far-left The Nation, the oldest continuously published news magazine in the country. Cloward-Piven's goal was the creation of, "A political crisis would result that could lead to legislation for a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty." The objective was chaos and turmoil, or in their words, "A massive drive to recruit the poor onto the welfare rolls." This would be followed by, "A federal program of income redistribution has become necessary to elevate the poor en masse from poverty." Bad Hombres Found In Migrant Caravan Approaching America. It won't be a shock for you to read that some really bad hombres have been discovered to be among the migrant caravan, some 7,000 strong, walking towards the southern border of America. The folks at Judicial Watch have interviewed some who have previously been deported and are now trying to get back in and some more nefarious characters, like human traffickers. They've also met with Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales. [...] The narrative being pushed by the gullible media is that these Central Americans are poor and hungry, looking for jobs and a better life. However, that's a pretty big fantasy in the minds of regular Americans who watch news coverage of a stream of people walking towards America demanding to be let in. When interviewed, the same talking points are offered and the whole thing seems to be staged. Migrant caravan, rejecting Mexican offers, continues drive north. More than a hundred Mexican federal officers carrying plastic shields abandoned a blockade they had formed on a bridge Saturday, allowing a caravan of thousands of Central American migrants to advance toward the United States. The officers ended the standoff after representatives from Mexico's National Human Rights Commission told police that a rural stretch of highway without shade, toilets or water was no place for migrants to entertain offers of asylum in Mexico. Police boarded buses and headed further down the highway, while migrants cheered and vowed to trek all the way to the U.S. border. San Francisco to Allow Illegal Aliens to Vote. In July, the Department of Elections issued voter registration forms to illegal aliens to vote for members of the San Francisco Board of Education in the 2018 election, reported ABC7 News. Now that the illegals are registered and ready, they will be voting in November. The Dem Plan To Turn Their Open Border Dream Into America's Nightmare. Hypothetically, if an FBI agent obtained a warrant to raid a drug trafficker's house and arrest him, but the trafficker had a minor daughter home with him, [Senator] Feinstein's bill would prohibit the FBI agents, while arresting a drug trafficker, from separating the child from her father. [...] Smugglers and drug traffickers know that using children to pose as a family unit will grant them entry into the U.S. and enable them to evade the consequences of their criminal action. [...] According to the U.S. Department Of Homeland Security (DHS), there has been "a staggering increase in the number of illegal aliens using children to pose as family units in order to gain entry into the U.S." Trump is right, mainstream media is wrong on terrorist threat from migrant caravan. During the waning months of the Obama administration, none other than former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson sent out a memo to law enforcement agencies with the subject line, "Cross-Border Movement of Special Interest Aliens". According to DHS' official definition, Special Interest Aliens (SIAs) are individuals from 35 countries that "have shown a tendency to promote, produce, or protect terrorist organizations," aka countries from the Middle East or those in Africa and Asia with a presence of terrorist networks. The Johnson memo called for the creation of a "multi-DHS Component SIA Joint Action Group" designed to "counter the threats posed by the smuggling of SIAs" and "the increased global movement of SIAs" in order to eventually "bring down organizations involved in the smuggling of SIAs into and within the United States." As Todd Bensman of Center for Immigration Studies observed, the memo was "unusual in the sense that they demanded the 'immediate attention' of the nation's most senior immigration and border security leaders to counter such an obscure terrorism threat." Bensman is a former intelligence officer for Texas Department of Public Safety. Of course, this plan never came to fruition but the fact that someone as liberal as Jeh Johnson found a need to warn about "the increased global involvement of SIAs" should be very concerning to all of us. Hundreds of US troops heading to the border to deal with migrant caravan, official says. Hundreds of U.S. troops are set to make their way to the southern border to help Homeland Security and the National Guard as a caravan with thousands of migrants pushes north with the goal of crossing into America, a U.S. official confirmed to Fox News on Thursday [10/25/2018]. The official said roughly 800 soldiers will be sent to the area to offer "logistical support," including providing tents and vehicles. It's not immediately clear which units are being tasked with the mission as details are still being finalized. Washington State's ridiculous 'vote boxes' degrade the franchise for everyone. When [the Democrats] attack our duly elected officials and the Constitution, they are personally attacking you for your measured and thoughtful choices. Their most egregious trick may yet occur when the next band of illegals arrives at our southern border. Will the Democratic Party's tainted ethos arrange for these people to acquire motor voter cards along with food stamps and housing vouchers? Americans are convinced that the Democrats are behind those male-populated mobs marching northward, just as they were during President Obama's blatant emigrant invitation in 2014, when the emigrant trains traveled through Central America to our borders. Does anyone know how many were allowed in? Will the new wave be here in time for the midterms? Trump says he 'agrees with Obama 100%' as he shared clip of former president saying 'We cannot allow people to pour into the country undocumented'. President Trump retrieved an old video of Barack Obama speaking in favor of a strict immigration policy and surprisingly tweeted out his support for the statement Tuesday afternoon [10/23/2018]. Obama, who was a senator from Illinois at the time, said in the C-SPAN clip: 'We are generous and welcoming people here in the United States, but those who enter the country illegally, and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law and they are showing disregard for those who are following the law. Illegal Immigration Hurts Black Americans Most. In the 19th century, savvy American saloon-owners offered free lunches to attract noontime patrons. Inevitably, the diners would get thirsty and buy expensive drinks — thus was born the expression, "there's no such thing as a free lunch." Despite its humble origins, the phrase captures a deep and omnipresent truth: everything has a price, an opportunity cost, a trade-off. This is as true of lunches as it is of America's immigration policy. Although The Economist's propaganda-artists claim otherwise, mass immigration does not enrich all Americans. There are obvious winners and losers. The winners are wealthy Americans and the immigrants themselves; the losers are everyone else, especially the working class, Millennials, and black Americans. Legal immigration enriches America — Illegal immigration doesn't. I'm a George W. Bush, pro-immigration reform Republican, the son of an immigrant and someone who welcomes legal immigrants to our country. But the caravan of roughly 7,000 would-be asylum seekers marching through Mexico toward the U.S. represents all that is wrong with our immigration system. The people marching here would be better served if they applied to come to America legally. If they try to come here illegally they should not be let in. One of the reasons the U.S. is attractive to immigrants is because we are a nation of laws. But that doesn't mean that the first thing immigrants can do is break the law to get here. They can't. Turn the caravan around — the US is not a dumping ground. With all of the coverage regarding the Honduran caravan marching toward the U.S. border, it's time to have a conversation about who we want to be as a country in the future. Not in the distant future, but in the very near future; maybe less than 10 years from now. Because what we decide to do today will set the tone for the next several generations. Like nails on a chalkboard, we keep hearing Democrats and left-wing activists talk about these desperate immigrants seeking asylum and refuge from dysfunctional societies. We are told that it's about "humanity first" and that we have a moral obligation to take them in. However, we should not be fooled by the emotional reactions (and political maneuverings) of those who claim to speak for the caravan. The United States is under zero moral obligations to take citizens from misgoverned countries around the globe.
Trump could win big with executive order halting caravan. President Donald Trump is mulling an executive order that would stop the caravan in its tracks and send the thousands and thousands of people trying to cross America's borders back to their homes. That makes perfect sense. It's a viable solution that would lead to a redefining of asylum seekers — a honing, of sorts, of the criteria that determines who gets into the country versus who gets refused. The left will fight. But remember the travel ban? This is the same left that was just slapped by the Supreme Court when justices ruled Trump does indeed have the power to keep out those deemed "detrimental to the interests of the United States." With that court wind at his back, Trump stands a good chance of defeating any legal challenges to come over an executive order that has the practical effect of stopping this caravan in its tracks. Obama Ridicules Fears Over Migrant Caravans Headed to US. Campaigning in Wisconsin on Friday for Democrats running in next month's mid-term elections, former President Barack Obama ridiculed Americans who are fearful of the migrant caravans headed to the United States via Mexico and the politicians who are making stopping mass illegal immigration a campaign issue. Several caravans comprised of thousands of migrants mostly from Central America are currently making their way from Honduras through Guatemala and on into Mexico with the goal of claiming asylum in the United States. Obama spoke in a haughty, comedic voice, raising his pitch and using his arms and hands to make exaggerated points of ridicule. Mexican Police Stop Buses and Trucks — Force Them to Take Caravan Immigrants North to US Border. The illegal immigrant caravan of mostly military-aged Honduran males has swelled to over 14,000 people as it marches up Mexico to the US border. The DHS confirmed this week that gang members and other dangerous criminals are embedded in the caravan. Migrants from the Middle East, Africa and South Asia have also latched onto the caravan, according to the Department of Homeland Security. The media's shameful coverage of Central American 'caravan'. Television journalism soars when reporters find a way to answer the questions viewers are asking their TV screens while watching coverage of a major event. That's why it was maddening and frustrating to watch this past week's coverage of the so-called "caravan" of thousands of Hondurans, Guatemalans and Salvadorans plowing through Mexico's southern border and their subsequent march toward the United States. I found myself yelling the same question at my television screen over and over: "Who is paying for this?" I asked in vain as embedded reporters interviewed various Central Americans about the hardships in their native countries. "Who is organizing this?" I yelled. But, for some reason, the reporters never asked the question. The Pentagon Isn't Serious About Stopping the Caravan. In April of this year, Secretary of Defense James Mattis approved a memo ordering the deployment of up to 4,000 U.S. National Guardsmen to the southwestern border (provided that the governors of border states approve of the action and that the Department of Homeland Security reimburse the Department of Defense for its troubles). Yet, the DoD instituted such strict rules of engagement for the National Guardsmen that they've proven useless to the Border Patrol. What's more, the 800 active-duty troops that are being deployed to the border are not charged with providing physical support of the Border Patrol and National Guard. Instead, the Pentagon has opted to send its doctors, lawyers, and engineers. What do you think military doctors, engineers, and lawyers are going to do to turn back the human wave threatening America's porous southwest? (Hint: they're not going to physically turn back that caravan; they're going to accommodate it in all likelihood!) As I reported earlier this year, the Pentagon has already approved the Department of Homeland Security's request to turn unused areas of large U.S. military bases along the southwestern border into tent cities. Clearly, the Pentagon has decided to engage in its own bit of policymaking, regardless of what the president has ordered — or what the American people want (and what the United States Constitution outlines). Mexico Offers to Provide Jobs, Education to Caravan Migrants. Mexico's government unveiled a plan to provide employment, health care, and education to thousands of Central American migrants who are part of the caravan that is traveling from Honduras towards the U.S border. This week, Mexico's government unveiled their plan called "Estas En Tu Casa" or "You Are in Your Home." The program provides the migrants with temporary employment, access to government-funded health care, and education for their children. The migrants who take part in the program will be employed in the cleaning and maintenance of public buildings and roads. As Breitbart News has reported, thousands of migrants from Honduras are making their way into Mexico in an effort to reach the U.S. Border. The caravan has caused international tension as the U.S. government threatened to remove international aid to Central America if the caravan is not stopped. So much for 'refuge.' Caravan army turns up its nose at Mexico's generous offer of asylum. If there's anything that points to the political nature of the thousands-strong migrant caravan heading north to the U.S., it's the migrants' rejection of Mexico's generous offer of political asylum, along with jobs, medical care, and big benefit packages. According to this Associated Press report, they'd rather confront Trump. [...] Look at Europe - The Road to Hell Is Littered with Migrant Caravans. Estimates vary that there are between ten and twenty million illegal aliens already in the United States so one would think that a few thousand third world peasants aren't going to make a difference. Should they succeed and be allowed entry the repercussions will be far reaching and devastating. Without immigration reform the precedent would make America's borders redundant and therefore encourage further caravans, not only from neighboring countries, but from around the world. The trickle will become a deluge. Once regularized with documentation, their path to citizenship would have to be extended to the millions of other illegal aliens already in residence altering the demographic balance and thereby guaranteeing power to the globalist elite in perpetuity. Kobach: The Caravan Is a Consequence of Rewarding Illegal Immigration. The open-borders Left and their talking heads in the media are falsely describing the caravan's trek as a "humanitarian crisis." But that is nonsense. There is no war or drought in Central America that the migrants are fleeing. They are simply coming to the United States en masse for economic reasons, hoping that their immense numbers swamp our immigration system or that they can otherwise find a way into the country. The caravan is a perfect storm of problems that cause illegal immigration. It illustrates the fecklessness of foreign governments like Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador that receive more than $500 million in foreign aid from the United States but can't be bothered to lift a finger on America's behalf when their own citizens threaten to invade our southern border. It also illustrates the complete lack of respect for American sovereignty and American law by the illegal alien felons who have been deported multiple times and are now joining the ranks of the caravan. For example, six-time deportee Anthony Fuentes is hoping to make his seventh entry into the United States with the caravan. Guess who's speaking out against caravan border-jumpers. Latinos and Hispanics legally here in the U.S. are speaking out against the caravan heading north from Honduras to the U.S. That was the report from Univision, which is hardly a conservative news site. [...] I know one working-class family in the construction industry that was originally from the Guadalajara area, refugees from the Cristero persecution of the early 20th century, who moved to Glendale to get away from all the illegals and their mayhem around South Pasadena. They can't stand lawbreaking, including immigration lawbreaking. Border walls only work if illegal immigration is illegal. Once they are here, there are thousands of pro bono lawyers who can petition lawless lower courts to violate our sovereignty and make it impossible to deport them. Thus, rather than trying to avoid detection by our border agents, the illegal invaders actually seek them out. This is where understanding the use of a border wall comes into play. A border wall is a very effective force multiplier for the Border Patrol if the goal of apprehension is to immediately block or deport those apprehended and that message is conveyed to the would-be trespasser. While it is possible for physically healthy people to climb most walls, it takes some time, especially if a group of people is trying to come over together. They would likely be apprehended by the Border Patrol by the time they get over, or at least would fear the likelihood of such detection. But here's the rub. That only applies if we have sane policies where illegal immigration is, you know, illegal. But if we allow courts to make a mockery of our clearly written laws, then rather than fearing detection, illegal immigrants seek out detection. Thus, they will not only come at points of entry to surrender themselves, they will climb the border wall anywhere between the points of entry and surrender themselves. How to Handle the Caravans. We've seen caravans before. There was a 1,500-person caravan that marched north just this past April. Of the band, only 400 actually reached the border and requested asylum. On average, about 22 percent of asylum requests are granted. Now, contrary to the tone of some left-leaning coverage, it is not inhumane to say that there is no "right" to enter the United States. We don't have an open-door policy. We have laws and procedures. One of those is asylum. The caravan coverage on the left is all about babies in strollers and desperate women seeking refuge from criminals. And those stories are heart-wrenching. What they rarely acknowledge is that many migrants, especially able-bodied young men, are simply seeking a better life. There's nothing immoral about that (in their place, I would do the same), but neither do you get priority in immigration just because you live in a miserable country nearby. To abolish ICE, as some on the left demand, would be the equivalent of throwing open the borders. Progressives are using migrant caravan for twisted political game before midterm elections. Is America the greatest nation in human history? Or is it the worst? If you listen to progressives, it's impossible to tell. That's because on the one hand, those on the left say our country is at its darkest moment ever, about to collapse under the weight of bigotry and prejudice. But on the other hand, they're cheering the roughly 7,000 Central American migrants now making the trek through Mexico toward the U.S. border, assuring them that the American Dream awaits. This doesn't add up. Progressives are talking out of both sides of their mouths, showing that they're cynics as well as hypocrites. If they actually believed that America is as awful as they claim, they'd be acting as if this were an irradiated wasteland, warning non-Americans to stay as far as away as possible. In truth, progressives are playing a twisted political game. The migrants are genuinely destitute and the victims of corrupt, socialist governments — and their lives are being risked to score partisan points. They're being turned into unwitting pawns. Guess Who's Funding the Invasion of America. Four years of recession and the world's highest inflation have plunged millions of Venezuelans into poverty under President Nicolas Maduro's authoritarian socialist regime. Suicides are rapidly rising across this once-wealthy nation, plagued by hyperinflation, hunger and mass emigration. Bodies at morgues in Venezuelan are reportedly exploding from rot. Amid desperate food shortages, towns and cities across Venezuela face an outbreak of looting and mob violence. Angry about empty supermarket shelves and soaring prices, some people are breaking into warehouses. They're ransacking food trucks and invading outlying farms. Further, hungry mobs are even slaughtering cattle grazing in fields, as unrest over food shortages spread through the country. Venezuelan citizens are said to be eating their pets. But their government doesn't care. What they do care about is making Donald Trump look bad. US to 'deploy 800 troops to border' ahead of caravan. Defence Secretary James Mattis is expected to deploy around 800 troops to the US-Mexico border to stop a migrant caravan, US media say. The soldiers would assist with fencing and support at key points along the southern border, administration officials tell CNN. The caravan of thousands of Central American migrants is making its way toward the US through Mexico. President Donald Trump said on Thursday [10/25/2018] he was "bringing out the military". Global Refugee Roundup: Spanish Caravan Edition. In an ominous, landlocked, real-life version of the dystopian novel The Camp of the Saints, the refugees are coming en masse. They started as a group of 160. Within days there were ten times as many. As of this writing, an estimated 14,000 Central American migrants are walking in a caravan that started in Honduras and intends to illegally cross the US/Mexico border in Texas. Honduras is a country of 9.4 million people. For the past few years it has had one of the world's highest homicide rates. About two thirds of its residents make about $2 per day. They're coming to America for a better life, but are they bringing a far worse life along with them? O'Rourke Campaign Won't Comment Yet on the Migrant Caravan Marching Toward the US Border. Texas Democratic Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke's campaign would not share his views about the migrant caravan filled with thousands of people from Central America traveling through Mexico toward the U.S., when asked by The Daily Caller News Foundation. In an email to TheDCNF, O'Rourke's campaign responded to an inquiry regarding the caravan, saying the Texas Democrat does not yet have anything to say about the migrant caravan approaching, and sending a link to an immigration section on O'Rourke's campaign website, which touts his lax immigration views. The Caravan Is Real. We have borders, and should enforce them. Whatever Trump's exaggerations, the caravan itself isn't a fabrication. It started as a group of 160 people in Honduras. It quickly grew to 1,600. Guatemala tried to close its border to the migrants, but rapidly gave in. By the time the caravan reached the Mexican border, it had gathered about 3,000 people, and grew to as large as 7,000 as it crossed into Mexico. The media has run with the story because it isn't every day that a group of thousands of migrants crashes through a Mexican border-crossing in defiance of the governments of Mexico and the United States. Caravan clash is coming — and the left can't wait. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a televised press conference that the thousands of people walking from Central America to the United States would not be allowed to cross. No, not under any circumstances. And because he means it — and because this long trail of unruly, unconcerned-with-law people mean to cross — the end result, in the eyes of common sense, means a clash is coming. A physical clash. One of violence and bruisings and injuries and perhaps even bloodshed. The only thing left to decide are the details: What kind of clash that will be, where that clash will occur, how many that clash will include. On the border in El Paso, the migrants arrive so regularly there's a housing crunch. While President Trump railed against a migrant caravan wending its way north through Mexico this week, hundreds of Central American immigrant families had already arrived at the border and been released into the U.S. by authorities. The influx, unrelated to the caravan, has crowded immigration holding areas and detention centers across the Southwest. The Border Patrol has released so many families, advocacy groups in Arizona and Texas have had to house them in churches and motels. In El Paso, the nonprofit Annunciation House shelter expected to take in 1,200 migrants this week and 1,500 more next week. Midterm Optics Are Bad for Progressives. For progressives, the looming midterm elections apparently should not hinge on a booming economy, a near-record-low unemployment rate, a strong stock market and unprecedented energy production. Instead, progressives hope that race and gender questions overshadow pocketbook issues. The media is fixated on another caravan of foreign nationals flowing toward the United States from Central America. More than 5,000 mostly Honduran migrants say they will cross through Mexico. Then they plan to crash the American border, enter the U.S. illegally, claim refugee status and demand asylum. Once inside the United States, the newcomers will count on a variety of ways to avoid deportation. Media rolls out red carpet for invading horde — I mean 'caravan'. As the so-called US-bound "caravan" traveling through Mexico continues to swell, some questions arise that the media will not ask. Who is funding these efforts? How has it grown so quickly and what did the Democrats have to offer besides a bunch of cliches and bromides, and of course grandstanding? If you have been watching other networks, you have been treated to sympathetic, overwrought coverage of this invading horde, which is anything but a "caravan." Mainstream news networks have dispatched teams of embedded reporters who are not so much covering the migrant mob as covering for it. They highlight the wonderful camaraderie and welcoming spirit of the masses bent on breaking into our nation. If you are skeptical, or dare to think our border should be secure, you are a "fear-monger" who doesn't treat people with proper respect. Why, you may have even turned your back on the teachings of Christ, according to the previously militantly secular media. Trump says MS-13, terrorists are part of caravan. President Trump lashed out Monday afternoon at Central American countries he said "did nothing" to stop the migrant caravan heading north toward the U.S., saying it was a betrayal of the money the U.S. has sent them. "We give them hundreds of millions of dollars, they do nothing for us," the president said at the White House as he prepared to depart for a campaign trip to Texas. He was speaking specifically of Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, the three countries that account for most of the children and families flowing north in recent years. Pro-migration firebrand who started the migrant caravan: Honduran radio host encouraged people to band together for safety. The man behind the migrant caravan currently snaking its way towards the US has been revealed as a former Honduran lawmaker and radio host. Bartolo Fuentes, who lives in the capital Tegucigalpa, said it all began when he tried to help a few dozen migrants band together so they could go north with safety in numbers and support each other. But things snowballed when HCH, the most-viewed TV news channel in Honduras, incorrectly reported that Fuentes was willing to pay transportation costs for anyone making the journey, he said. Trump cites 2005 Obama remarks to support immigration policy. President Trump turned to an unlikely source Tuesday evening [10/23/2018] to find support for his hard-line immigration policies: his predecessor, Barack Obama. Trump tweeted a 2005 video in which Obama, then a senator, made a statement against illegal immigration, accompanied by the comment "I agree with President Obama 100%". "We are a generous and welcoming people here in the United States," Obama says in the 31-second clip. "But those who enter the country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law and they are showing disregard for those who are following the law. We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States undetected, undocumented, unchecked, and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently and lawfully to become immigrants into this country." Second migrant caravan in Guatemala heads toward Mexico. A group of over a thousand Central Americans in Guatemala headed toward the Mexican border on Tuesday, as a larger caravan of migrants that has angered U.S. President Donald Trump paused in southern Mexico on its planned journey toward the U.S. border. Man Traveling in Illegal Caravan Confirms Trump's Claim: Of Course There Are Criminals Here. Yesterday [10/22/2018] President Trump claimed there are a number of criminals traveling in the illegal caravan, which is now 7,000 people strong and making its way through Mexico to the United States. [...] His usual critics pounced, saying there is no evidence to back up his claim. President Trump encouraged reporters to take their cameras and do some digging. [...] Turns out, he was right. While violent criminals do not make up the majority of the caravan, there are some using it to get to the United States. Caravan Activists Are Weaponizing Poor Central Americans. For the second time this year, a caravan of Central American migrants is headed to the United States. The group took off from San Pedro Sula earlier this week, a city located in the northern part of Honduras. The caravan crossed into Guatemala on Wednesday and is expected to cross into Mexico as they travel to the U.S.'s southern border. Originally the group started off in the few hundreds, they are now around 4,000 people. This latest migrant caravan is another example of leftist groups grandstanding off of desperation and poverty. The Northern Triangle region of Central America where El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras are located is one of the most violent areas of the world. Transnational organized criminal groups and violent street gangs destabilize these impoverished countries. This leaves massive parts of the population vulnerable and with little means to survive. Kamala Harris: Americans Must be 'Welcoming,' 'Tolerant' to Caravan. Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) — who is eyeing a 2020 presidential bid against President Trump — says the United States should be "welcoming" migrant caravans that arrive at the nation's southern border. While campaigning for Democrats in Iowa, Harris told a CNN reporter that the U.S. response to the 7,000-strong migrant caravan of job-seekers and previously deported illegal aliens should be "welcoming" and "tolerant." Would you use the military on the border? Suppose the enemy were able to mobilize millions of people from the most poverty-stricken countries in the world and have them invade our country, using children as their shields. Suppose further that those massive numbers of people just started walking toward our borders in open defiance of our immigration policies. What would you, running the United States, be willing to do to stop the invasion? President Trump says, if necessary, he'll use the U.S. military to shut down the border. That will work if the military is prepared to take confrontational action against those who defy our laws and try to force their way in. If the invaders employ their usual tactic, children will be in the front lines of the invasion. Will the American public be willing to accept video clips of our soldiers pushing children backward to keep them from entering our land? If the invasion becomes violent, will we see children being trampled and killed as layers of humanity move forward over the bodies of the fallen? What our enemies are counting on is that Americans will be appalled by such scenes and call Trump a monster. Trump meets with top brass, renews threat to send troops to the border. Flanked by [Defense Secretary Jim] Mattis and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford, Trump held court for about 14 minutes in the Cabinet room before a private meeting and dinner. Just before dismissing the press, the president reiterated he's still considering dispatching the active-duty military to the southern border in response to a caravan of asylum-seeking immigrants marching north through Mexico. "The military, not just the National Guard, the military is what I'm thinking about," Trump said. "We can't have people coming into our country illegally." So Venezuela was behind the great Honduras migrant caravan all along? According to Vice President Mike Pence, Honduras's president, Juan Orlando Hernández, told him that the illegal migrant caravan heading from his country through Mexico on to the U.S. is the work of Chavista Venezuela, with that country's oil cash being employed to destabilize both countries. [...] The one clue we have starts with the two governments of Guatemala and Honduras, both of which have conservative, anti-Chavista governments. They also have disgustingly rabid left-wing oppositions, the kind of people who openly admire Hugo Chávez and his utterly failed socialist revolution. They like Cuba's government, too. They are rabid left-wingers, and they seek above all to destabilize and topple the countries of their origin in order to see those countries join their heroes. They can't get elected anymore, so this is what they do. Vice President Mike Pence Reveals Central American Invasion Horde is: "Financed by Venezuela". Quietly within the deliberate words from Vice-President Mike Pence a revelation that explains the origination of the Central American invasion force. For those who are not deep in the geopolitical weeds, the subtlety can pass unnoticed; for those who travel within the deepest international conflicts, Pence's words here are as subtle as a brick through a window: [Video clip] The Caravan to Nowhere. These columns favor generous immigration and asylum for refugees. But when migration becomes a political weapon to foment border chaos, leaders have no choice other than to step in and protect national security. Exhibit A are the 4,000 or so Central Americans moving on foot through Mexico to the U.S. Waves of humanity marching in lock step don't materialize spontaneously and neither has this "caravan." This march is organized and not necessarily for the benefit of the migrants. Mr. Trump has good reason to turn it back. Not since the 1980 Mariel boatlift from Cuba has there been a similar attempt to overwhelm U.S. immigration law on the pretext of celebrating American freedom. Thousands of Cubans made their way to Florida when Fidel Castro temporarily lifted his Havana Curtain, and American boats of every shape and size sailed into the Caribbean to collect them. For Democrats, silence is consent on the immigrant caravan. It's not really a "caravan," is it? Those thousands of desperate migrants walking across Mexico, a massive crowd that grows by the day, are intent on forcing a confrontation at the U.S. border. This crowd can be called many things, but "caravan" isn't one of them. The approach of the desperate thousands from Central America has energized Republicans just days before the November elections. President Donald Trump says the migrants will not be allowed to cross into the U.S. illegally. Democrats call this fear-mongering, but among Democrats it has caused political paralysis, a self-destructive institutional passivity. Democratic leaders want their members to stay silent. And there's one thing about silence. "Chi tace acconsente," says my barber, Raffaele Raia. "He who is silent says 'yes'. The silence is the consent.". The Migrant Caravan May Give Republicans The Final Midterm Push They Need. It started with several hundred people in Honduras on Oct. 12th. In ten days, the "migrant caravan" of foreign citizens claiming they plan to stampede U.S. borders swelled to more than 7,000 people. They have marched more than 1,000 miles across Honduras, Guatemala, and into Mexico, with apparently no resistance from those governments. Many have seen the images of a seemingly endless flood of people as part of this "caravan." They may still be a thousand miles away from the closest U.S.-Mexico border crossing point, but we can already feel their presence. Liberals won't admit Trump was right about migrant caravans. On the theory that you can judge a president by his critics, Donald Trump must be hitting the bull's-eye with his warnings about the migrants vowing to smash through our border. We know this because the usual suspects — The New York Times and CNN, among others — are accusing Trump of making much ado about next to nothing. [...] Long gone are the days when readers could expect even a pretense of fairness from the Gray Lady. But the bias, fused with an intentional blind eye regarding the origins, growing size and militancy of the caravan, is beyond the pale. Consider that a trek that started with fewer than 200 people in Honduras suddenly ballooned to more than 7,500 as reports emerged of left-wing activists organizing the crowds. Photos of the staggeringly long lines and of leaders breaking down fences between Guatemala and Mexico demonstrate there is legitimate reason for concern, especially when some leaders say they are determined to come to America. Meet the man behind the migrant caravan headed to US. Meet Bartolo Fuentes, the Honduran ex-lawmaker who helped launch the 7,000-strong caravan marching toward the United States — on a promise he says he never made. In September, Fuentes began coordinating with groups dispersed throughout Honduras seeking to make the trek north. The initial number of people involved was about 200. A woman reportedly part of the caravan told TV anchors of Fuentes' efforts, and she mentioned "assistance." The anchors then supposedly said Fuentes would pay migrants' food and transportation costs — which he denied in an interview. Still, thousands took a chance, since a human-smuggling "coyote" charges upwards of $7,000 to take someone across the US border. The Impending Alien Invasion. [Scroll down] Sanctuary cities beckon illegal aliens and the criminals, gang members, fugitives and terrorists among them, encouraging them and inducing them to head for the United States and claim "asylum." However, when an individual flees his/her native country seeking asylum, they are supposed to apply for asylum in the first country that they enter. Hondurans entering Guatemala, for example, should apply for asylum in Guatemala. Furthermore, asylum claims are supposed to be solely based on the applicant demonstrating a "credible fear" that he/she faces persecution or worse, because of their race, religion, political views or other such factors. Fleeing general violence in their home countries or seeking economic opportunities not available there are not considered grounds for asylum. The Caravan Means the Wall Will Be Built. If the caravan of thousands of prospective illegal aliens marching for our Southern border like an invading army has succeeded in one thing, it is that the wall finally will be built. You can book it. People are fed up. And they damn well should be. If it gets any worse — and it could — we might see an army of of our own citizen volunteers heading down to the border themselves to build it. Talk about unintended consequences. Try that one on your piano, George Soros or whatever assembled reactionary leftwing creeps instigated this escapade. Bangladeshis Joined Migrant Caravan In Guatemala, Univision Correspondent Reports. A Spanish language reporter who has spent weeks embedded with the migrant caravan said in a Friday report that people from Bangladesh had joined the mass of people trying to cross from Guatemala into Mexico. Univision correspondent Francisco Santa Anna reported from the bridge separating Guatemala and Mexico. The bridge has been packed with thousands of migrants demanding access to Mexico, with the ultimate goal of crossing the border of the United States illegally. The caravan has now swelled to many thousands. Caravan migrant army attacks Mexican cops, provisions itself robbing Mexican markets. To hear the left tell it, the vast Honduran migrant caravan, as many as 10,000 strong now, crawling up to the U.S. border to illegally enter the U.S. couldn't possibly have criminals in its ranks. Army Invasion: Honduran Caravan Includes Military-Aged Male Migrants From Bangladesh, Haiti and Congo. The migrant caravan from Honduras has been infiltrated by people from Bangladesh, Haiti, Congo and Sri Lanka, according to embedded reporters. Thousands of military-aged, virile mostly Honduran males breached the Guatemala border gate over the weekend and stormed the Mexican border bridge; Mexican authorities ultimately let the caravan through. A second caravan of 2,000 migrants formed on Sunday and started marching to Guatemala with a plan to reach the U.S. as their final destination. According to a Univision correspondent, Bangladeshis joined the migrant caravan before it crossed from Guatemala into Mexico. Louie Gohmert calls for RICO probe to find out who's paying for Honduras migrant caravan. Who's financing the Honduras migrant caravan of illegal immigrants, with as many as 10,000 snaking their way into illegally entering the U.S.? Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas has a sensible suggestion for finding out: using the RICO statutes. [...] The question, which the incurious media show no sign of wanting to answer, is worth asking, given the expense the taxpayers will be saddled with as thousands of them openly climb over border fences, dare border officials to fire on them to stop them, worm their way in through asylum legal maneuvering, or put up big sob stories with photos of mothers and crying children as a means to get in and get the benefit packages. Migrant caravan is a political gift to Trump. Ever since President Trump came down a golden escalator in 2015 to announce his candidacy, the national conversation surrounding illegal immigration has never been the same. But what is often missed in his blunt talk and the hysteria it creates is that President Trump understands Americans' desire for law and order. He also understands their need to feel safe. The recent caravan of thousands of migrants from Central America who are seeking asylum in the United States underscores that point. While the media focuses solely on the humanitarian aspect of it, images and video of migrants lawlessly tearing down the gates into Mexico are a stark visual reminder of the need for increased border security. With only two weeks until Election Day, President Trump should hammer this point home. 5,000 migrants camped out in Chiapas last night and resumed their march today. The huge caravan of migrants, made up mainly of Hondurans fleeing poverty and violence but also Salvadorans and Guatemalans, set out this morning [10/22/2018] for Huixtla, a town about 40 kilometers north of Tapachula. October surprise? 5 things that could rock the midterms. [#2] As thousands of migrants continue their trek through Mexico toward the U.S. border, Trump has threatened to call in the military for reinforcement and slash aid to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras. The confrontation could escalate in the days ahead. Trump has made illegal immigration a rallying cry for his Republican base throughout the midterm elections, and the thousands of Central Americans traveling toward the border have become a highly visible example. He's heaped the blame for illegal immigration and the caravan, specifically, on Democrats. "Every time you see a Caravan, or people illegally coming, or attempting to come, into our Country illegally, think of and blame the Democrats for not giving us the votes to change our pathetic Immigration Laws!" Trump tweeted. "Remember the Midterms!" President Trump Announces Aid Cuts to Multiple Countries Over Illegal Caravan. President Trump announced Monday morning he is starting the process to cut or reduce aid to Central American countries that haven't stopped a caravan of illegal aliens. Over the past few days, the caravan has grown from 4,000 people to 7,000. Over the weekend, President Trump again threatened to seal off the border if Central American countries or Mexico couldn't control the flow north. "I would call in the military and I would seal off the border. I would close up the border. If that happens, and if that continues to move forward, the caravan we're talking about," Trump said. "I think some bad people started that caravan... you have some very, very bad people in the caravan. But I will seal off the border before they come into this country." Over 12,000 Illegals Caught in Last Three Weeks in Rio Grande Valley. Thousands of illegal aliens are swarming the Texas border this month in advance of the migrant caravan marching through Mexico, prompting Chief Patrol Agent Manuel Padilla, Jr., the Customs and Border Patrol Sector Chief of the Rio Grande Valley, to beg for help dealing with the onslaught of illegal aliens, gang members and drug cartel smugglers. Just on Saturday [10/20/2018] over 700 illegal aliens were caught, with over 12,000 caught in the past three weeks. In addition, safe houses have been busted and drug smugglers intercepted by the overstretched CBP in the Rio Grande Valley. Donald Trump Alerts Military: Migrant Caravan Now a National Emergency. President Donald Trump alerted the military on Monday, as the caravan of migrants crossed into Mexico. "I have alerted Border Patrol and Military that this is a National Emergy (sic)," Trump wrote on Twitter. "Must change laws!" The president announced the news after the caravan that originated in Honduras swarmed over the southern Mexico border over the weekend, increasing to 7,000 people. DHS to 'closely monitor' caravan of migrants headed for US border. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said Sunday that the agency is focused on rooting out potential criminal gang members who may seek to exploit a so-called "caravan" of Central American migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. "While we closely monitor the caravan crisis, we must remain mindful of the transnational criminal organizations and other criminals that prey on the vulnerabilities of those undertaking the irregular migration journey," Nielsen said in a statement. "We shall work with our partners in the region to investigate and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law all who seek to encourage and profit from irregular migration," she continued. March-of-the Made-To-Order-Migrants, Fake News Played Out Before Our Very Eyes. To see that the 5 to 7 thousand 'migrants' aren't coming to America for a better life only requires doing the math of the caravan, including its logistics and supplies. It's a long 1,845 miles from Guatemala to El Paso, Texas for example, where the migrants were seen over the weekend crossing the border into Mexico. The media wants you to believe that they are walking, having to have their painfully blistered feet attended to, and not being driven. Averaging 20 miles a day (for the sake of the small children), they must arrive together, and if they want to arrive together then they have to go at the speed of the slowest members. Unless that is, they pile children, the elderly and the feeble into trucks and buses so they can be waiting to rejoin the march when the walkers arrive. From the point of start off, travelling at 20 miles a day, it would take 92 days for them to reach the U.S. border. To make it to the border in time for the Election, they would have to travel roughly 131 miles a day. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer Tell Democrats: Ignore Migrant Caravan. Democratic leaders are urging their party's 2018 candidates to ignore migration issues even as the fast-growing caravan of migrants walks northwards through Mexico. On Sunday [10/21/2018], media reports said the caravan has grown to 7,000 people — up from 3,000 last week — and more people are seeking to join the migration. Caravan migrant army attacks Mexican cops, provisions itself robbing Mexican markets. To hear the left tell it, the vast Honduran migrant caravan, as many as 10,000 strong now, crawling up to the U.S. border to illegally enter the U.S. couldn't possibly have criminals in its ranks. [...] But Trump doesn't have to really prove anything, given that the migrants seem to be hell-bent on breaking immigration law even if they really are just the sweet little daisies portrayed by the press. However, on Twitter, the evidence is mounting that Trump is right: we are already seeing evidence that the marching group is acting like an invading army, with crimes such as assault and robbery as the horde snakes through Mexico northward. Guatemalan president claims to have caught 100 ISIS operatives as thousands from the country march for US border. Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales boasted on Thursday that under his guidance, security detail has been able to capture almost 100 ISIS terrorist. Morales shared the news while giving a speech at the second Conference for Prosperity and Security in Central America in Washington D.C. on October 11 and 12. The president claimed that his administration has captured 'close to 100 people completely linked to terrorist issues, with ISIS and that not only have we arrested them within our territory, but they have been deported to their countries of origin.' Pat Buchanan: Migrant Caravan Is Trump's Chance to Stop 'Third World Invasion of the West'. Populist conservative author and columnist Pat Buchanan says the migrant caravan of more than 4,000 Honduran and Central American nationals is President Trump's chance to demonstrate that he can stop the "third world invasion of the West." During an interview with Raymond Arroyo on the Laura Ingraham Show, Buchanan said the migrant caravan headed to the U.S.-Mexico border is an opportunity for Trump ahead of the 2018 midterm elections to show that he has the willpower to stop mass immigration at America's borders. Immigration Expert Jessica Vaughan: Four Ways Trump Can Solve Migrant Caravan Crisis. Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, offered four recommendations to President Donald Trump and his administration on how to solve the border crisis caused by the stream of migrant caravans seeking entry into the U.S. via Mexico. [...] Vaughan remarked, "But if they come as a group we could shut down a border crossing or shut down a part of the border. It's been done before in order to shut down drug trafficking and make a statement. When a DEA agent was killed in Mexico, we shut down the order to make a statement. ... It could be done. ... That might be what it comes to, and I don't think Mexico wants to see that." Soros's Human Caravan Slowed In Mexico But Still Pushing North. Media reports indicate hundreds among the Soros-funded 'Human Caravan' from Honduras have turned back, fearing they will be arrested by Mexican authorities. That still leaves an estimated three to five thousand more still pushing north, albeit more slowly now as the Mexican government half-heartedly attempts to halt the march even as President Donald Trump warns the Mexican government to do more to stop the attempted invasion into the United States. Ragged, growing caravan of migrants resumes march toward US. A growing caravan of Honduran migrants streamed through southern Mexico on Sunday [10/21/2018] heading toward the United States, after making an end-run around Mexican agents who briefly blocked them at the Guatemalan border. Growing Invasion Force Overwhelms Mexican Authorities — Approximately 10,000 Now traveling through Mexico to U.S. Southern Border. Despite media claims to the contrary, elected Mexican officials previously promised to allow the invasion of Central American migrants. There is a history here. The heavily financed horde of Central American migrants has overwhelmed the token resistance from Mexican military and advanced north toward the Southern U.S. border. As described by the Associated Press today: "growing army of migrants resumes march toward US." This is a well financed, well organized, left-wing political operation strategically timed to reach the U.S. border and coincide with the 2018 mid-term election. Estimates as to the number of economic migrants varies between 7,000 to 10,000 and the numbers are growing fast as they are now facilitated by, and joined by, ideological comrades within Mexico. How Many Illegal Aliens Can Fit In A Car? You might be surprised: [Video clip] Guatemala says some 2,000 migrants have returned to Honduras. Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales said on Saturday [10/20/2018] some 2,000 members of a largely Honduran migrant caravan have returned home to Honduras, a day after thousands of people in the procession were held up at a Guatemalan border crossing with Mexico. Thousands Remain Defiantly on the Border Bridge, Others Broke Through. At a rally in Scottsdale, Arizona, President Trump said, "This will be an election of Kavanaugh, the caravan, law and order and common sense. ... Remember it's gonna be an election of the caravan." This is a serious national security threat. Democrats in Congress are responsible. Migration Horde Advances, Next Stop USA — Mexico Puts Up Token Resistance, Promises To Call on United Nations. As expected the government of Mexico put up token resistance at their southern border (video laughable) and allows thousands of economic migrants passage to the U.S. Mexico border. Rebuking the strongly worded demands of President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo the insufferable Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Videgaray tells media his country will now call on the United Nations to intervene. Texas Democrats [are] asking non-citizens to vote. The Public Interest Legal Foundation has alerted the Justice Department to a gambit by Texas Democrats to get non-citizens to vote. The state party sent out a voter registration form asking non-citizens to sign up, with the citizenship box already checked "yes." [...] This is an open invitation for voter fraud on a large scale, and the way the Democrats went about it defies belief: [...] How many other state Democratic Parties send out similar requests to non-citizens and haven't been caught? Are we to believe that one party in one state came up with this idea all on its own? Texas Dems ask noncitizens to register to vote, send applications with citizenship box pre-checked. The Texas Democratic Party asked non-citizens to register to vote, sending out applications to immigrants with the box citizenship already checked "Yes," according to new complaints filed Thursday asking prosecutors to see what laws may have been broken. The Public Interest Legal Foundation alerted district attorneys and the federal Justice Department to the pre-checked applications, and also included a signed affidavit from a man who said some of his relatives, who aren't citizens, received the mailing. "This is how the Texas Democratic Party is inviting foreign influence in an election in a federal election cycle," said Logan Churchwell, spokesman for the PILF, a group that's made its mark policing states' voter registration practices. Migrant Caravan Mystery Questions Need Answers. [#1] Migrant Caravan or Violent Invasion? I am not a geopolitical expert or historian, but that kinda look less like a caravan (and I have seen a few) and more like an invading army. They are seen in many videos carrying the flag of the Honduras before them and chanting. The leftwits may fall for this story of starving people crawling towards a better life. I see an invading army. And, speaking of starving... [#2] Who is feeding all of these people? According to Telesurvtv.net, 1,400 Hondurans left San Pedro Sula on October 14 (last Sunday) for Guatemala. The invaders have grown to about 4,000 since then. Do you have any idea how much food that would take? Since they are on the move, they require more caloric intake than normal. None of these people look as if they have missed a meal. And who is keeping them hydrated? For real. I am not kidding. Potable water trucks are somewhere out there. We just need photos. The Liberal Mob Must Be Stopped in November. Democrats are actively encouraging illegal aliens to come to the country, no matter the damage to Americans. They call it a "caravan," what it really is is a conga line of no-skilled, non-English speaking people marching up Central America to meet liberal activists at the border waiting to greet them with open arms and help them skirt our laws in the hope that they'll inspire American Hispanics to vote for them. It's sick. Even though our economy is booming, and there are more jobs than people looking for work, those jobs aren't for people illiterate in their native tongue, let alone unable to communicate in our language. But Democrats have embraced this lie that somehow tens of millions of illegal aliens running up massive unpaid medical bills and whose children cost a fortune to educate are the key to economic growth. Thousands of caravan migrants take shelter in southern Mexico. Thousands of Central American migrants traveling together to enter the United States have hunkered down in shelters in a southern Mexico city along its border with Guatemala, according to local officials. Police in Mexico try to stop caravan of Central American migrants determined to reach the US. A caravan of thousands of footsore Central American migrants who say they are seeking refuge from violence in their countries was moving north Sunday under the close watch of an army of Mexican federal police in riot gear. Mexican officials said federal police were staying in front of the caravan, which stretched about two miles and comprised of mostly people from Honduras and Guatemala, many of whom say they are determined to reach the U.S. border 1,700 miles away. The Editor says... Caravan swells to 5,000, advances toward U.S. Despite Mexican efforts to stop them at the border, a growing throng of Central American migrants resumed their advance toward the U.S. border early Sunday [10/21/2018] in southern Mexico. Their numbers swelled to about 5,000 overnight and at first light they set out walking toward the Mexican town of Tapachula, 10 abreast in a line stretching approximately a mile. The Democrats wait with open arms. Who is feeding the five thousand? The Editor says... Migrant caravan grabs for American Dream, as immigrants forge unique challenge for US, Mexico. The American Dream is alive and well ... in Guatemala, where Saturday night [10/20/2018] hundreds of immigrants grew frustrated with the pace of processing by Mexican officials and swarmed the Suchiate River, swimming, floating and pulling themselves across the muddy waters to reach the U.S. The river separating Guatemala and Mexico is the primary crossing point for tens of thousands of Central American immigrants who migrate north each year looking for work and a better life in America. Saturday night, however, when the sun went down, the river banks came alive, with hundreds of young Honduran men breaching the river to the chorus of fellow countrymen cheering them when they reached Mexican soil. Police made no attempt to intervene. Stretching for miles, 7,000-strong migrant caravan treks through stifling heat in southern Mexico. A growing caravan of roughly 7,000 Central American immigrants continued its trek toward the United States on Sunday, blowing past Mexican police and immigration officials. The group, which has swelled in size in recent days, set out before dawn on the only road out of the small Mexican border town of Ciudad Hidalgo. It arrived in the afternoon in the city of Tapachula, more than 20 miles away. The migrants, nearly all from the poor and violent nation of Honduras, posed a growing political and humanitarian calamity for Mexico, which has come under intense pressure from President Trump to stop them. AP Changes Headline After Liberals Complain About Describing Illegal Caravan As 'Army Of Migrants'. The Associated Press on Sunday changed a headline after a backlash from liberals furious at the AP for describing a caravan of illegal immigrants heading towards the United States as an "army of migrants." "A ragged, growing army of migrants resumes march toward US," read the original headline on the AP story. The AP later changed the headline to replace the word "army" with "caravan." Though the AP has used the word "army" to refer to large groups of people besides migrants — including nurses and political activists — many on the political left criticized the wire service for its original headline. The Editor says... As Caravan Approaches, Quit Lying about Immigration. There's no such thing as undocumented immigrants or workers, as it is sometimes written, unless you mean actual U.S. citizens who have lost or had their IDs (social security cards, driver's licenses, passports, etc.) stolen. The people being referred to — welcome them or not — are "illegal aliens," full stop, according to the law of the United States of America. If you don't like that, change the law. Say you're for open borders. It's an honorable position, or was, even held by some libertarians at the Wall Street Journal years ago, not that Democrats are keen on being identified with libertarians. But therein lies one of the Big Lies about immigration: that Democrats, liberals, progressives, whatever they want to call themselves this week, really want secure borders. It's just the wall that bothers them. Yeah, right. What they want are votes and everyone, including them if they're faintly honest, knows it. The pretense is they care about the downtrodden. The caravan is an attack on America — Stop the caravan now. The caravan of about 4,000 migrants from Central America seeking to enter Mexico and then the United States illegally is attempting to invade and attack the U.S. This assertion will almost certainly be denounced by the usual sources as being hateful or offensive, but it is long past time we stop letting the left prevent us from using words that clearly communicate reality. The fact is: Thousands of people have openly stated their intention to break American law and invade our country. Other people, some of them Americans, are funding this deliberate effort to invade America. The Latest: UN calls on Mexico, US to respect migrants. The U.N. special investigator on the human rights of migrants has a message for the Mexican and U.S. governments: Respect the human rights of every person on the caravan heading from Central America and consider each case individually. Mainstream media joins the Honduran 'caravan'. The countdown is on for the arrival of what has come to be known as the "Honduran caravan" — an estimated 4,000 men, women, children and infants who left the troubled Honduran city of Pedro Sula last weekend on foot and by truck. Saturday [10/20/2018] will mark a week on the march for the throng of hopefuls who plan to assemble on the U.S.-Mexico border and demand entry. The caravan itself has become a complex political symbol that some observers say is yet another ploy by rival Democrats and a hostile news media to portray the president in a negative light as the midterm elections approach. Caravan Migrant Says March to U.S. Border Is for Jobs, Not Asylum. One of the more than 4,000 migrants traveling in a caravan from Honduras through Mexico and eventually to the U.S.-Mexico border admits that she is seeking a job and a community more safe from drugs, neither of which would make her eligible for asylum. In an interview with NBC News, a migrant identified as Karen Aviles from Honduras traveling with the caravan said she was looking to go to the U.S. to get a job and to provide a safer area for her daughter, whom she said was getting involved in drugs. 'We are hungry!" Migrants wail at Mexico-Guatemala border. Mexican authorities for a second straight day Saturday refused mass entry to a caravan of Central American migrants held up at the border with Guatemala, but began accepting small groups for asylum processing and gave out some 45-day visitor permits that would theoretically allow recipients time to reach the United States. Trump: Democrats Obstruct Easy Fixes for Border Crisis, Caravan. On Friday [10/19/2018], the caravan broke through barriers at the Guatemalan side of the border and rushed onto a bridge linking the two countries. Mexican police used tear gas to stop the migrant column, which then stayed on the bridge during the night. Mexican officials say they will allow 100 migrants through the barrier to seek asylum in Mexico. Once in Mexico, officials expect most of the migrants to travel north to the U.S. border alongside thousands of other migrants who are being covertly trafficked into the U.S. by cartel-connected human smugglers. Honduras's paid caravan 'refugees' exposed as frauds by Venezuela's real refugee. To hear the left and its complicit press tell it, the great 4,000-strong caravan of Hondurans snaking through through Guatemala and Mexico on their way to the U.S. to claim asylum, are just desperate refugees, traveling in a group to ensure their safety. That was how the New York Times wrote it up. Well, no. Turns out they're being paid, in money, standing in line for their paychecks. Caravan migrants break Guatemala border fence, rush Mexico. Some migrants are now forming lines on the bridge while others are sitting down and preparing for a long wait. Honduran Migrants in Caravan Tear Down Border Gate in Guatemala [and] Storm Mexico Border. The bulk of the Honduran migrant caravan reached the Mexican border late Thursday and hundreds of Mexican police were waiting and ready. Chaos erupted as the Honduran caravan faced off with Mexican police on the border town of Tecun Uman Thursday [10/18/2018]. The organizer of Pueblo Sin Fronteras, Irineo Mujica was arrested by Mexican police and thrown into a white van. Illegal Caravans Encouraged by Honduras and Soros. Just in time for the midterms, another "spontaneous" migration from Central America began with a bevy of allegedly oppressed and downtrodden Hondurans leading the way. Pressured by a threat from President Trump to cut aid to Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador if the caravan is not stopped, some moves by these governments have been made. Yet evidence exists that these migrations are not spontaneous, with both of the governments in question encouraging them as a political and economic safety valve and a source of foreign currency, financed in part by foreign leftists with connections to George Soros. As Fox News's Laura Ingraham noticed in a tweet, this is not a walk in a national park, but an expensive and arduous journey. Trump threatens to deploy military, close border over migrant 'caravan'. President Trump threatened to mobilize the military and even close the border if Mexico fails to stop the thousands of migrants heading toward the United States. "I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught — and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!," the president announced in a tweet on Thursday [10/18/2018]. In another posting, he continued to blast Democrats for being weak on immigration and repeated warnings that he would curb aid to the Central American countries that do not halt the caravan. Human Caravan Caught Being Paid To March From Honduras To U.S./Mexican Border. And just in time for the Midterm Elections. You can almost hear the drool dripping from the panting mouths of the Establishment Media as they prepare their soon-to-be 24/7 coverage of the "human tragedy" that they will allege is the result of Republican immigration policies. Never mind that if President Trump would be granted the immigration policies he's advocated for no such caravans would ever occur and in fact, women and children would be far safer for it if some semblance of sanity was restored on America's southern border. What is taking place in the video below is borderline evil and should not be supported by any Democrat or Republican — ever. Honduran ex-lawmaker who helped arrange massive migrant caravan to US is detained. A former Honduran lawmaker traveling with a caravan of migrants heading toward the U.S.-Mexico border was detained by authorities in Guatemala on Tuesday [10/16/2018] as President Trump threatened to arrest anyone entering the country illegally. Ex-legislator Bartolo Fuentes, who is said to have organized the march, was detained by Guatemalan authorities after failing to register with migration officials upon entering the country. Wilmer Simon Gomez and Michael Fajardo were among two others detained from the migrant group. Organized Honduran Migrant Caravan Attempts to Reach U.S. Border to Coordinate with Mid-Term Election. Last week there were six unique encounters between President Trump and U.S. journalists where the topic of illegal aliens and family border separations was brought up. It seemed odd at the time because the issue has not been a topic within discussion. These exchanges culminated in CBS correspondent Leslie Stahl asking the same question repeatedly during a 60 minutes interview on Sunday night [10/14/2018]. Now things become clear. There are thousands of Honduran migrants traveling north to the U.S. border timed to arrive in conjunction with the mid-term election. Obviously an engineered narrative timed by the political left and media allies. Honduran government begs migrant caravan to turn back. The Honduran government called on 2,000 immigrants Tuesday to give up their trek north and return home, just hours after President Trump threatened to withhold $65 million in U.S. money if the country's leaders don't find a way to head off the caravan. Honduras's foreign ministry, in a statement reported by local news, said the caravan was being politically manipulated in order to make the country look bad, just days after leaders were in Washington promising better cooperation with the Trump administration. But no matter what happens with this caravan, security experts say the U.S. is already being flooded with other caravans with hundreds of people on a near-daily basis, and that shows no signs of stopping. 25 Reasons I'm Not a Democrat. [#5] Immigration is only good for America under certain conditions. The number of people coming in each year needs to be controlled and reasonable; immigrants should be able to support themselves without getting on the dole and we should heavily emphasize assimilation. Northbound migrant group doubles in size, enters Guatemala. Up to 3,000 migrants crossed from Honduras into Guatemala on Monday on a trek northward, after a standoff with police in riot gear and warnings from Washington that migrants should not try to enter the United States illegally. Trump warns Honduras to stop migrant caravan headed for U.S. President Trump on Tuesday said he warned Honduras to stop a caravan of more than 1,000 migrants headed for the United States or else lose American aid. "The United States has strongly informed the President of Honduras that if the large Caravan of people heading to the U.S. is not stopped and brought back to Honduras, no more money or aid will be given to Honduras, effective immediately!" Mr. Trumptweeted. The caravan of at least 1,600 crossed Monday [10/15/2018] into Guatemala, chanting "yes we can" as they defied the Guatemalan governments orders to stop. Honduran migrant group grows, heading for United States. A growing group of more than 1,500 Honduran migrants headed for the United States moved toward the Guatemalan border on Sunday [10/14/2018], witnesses and organizers said. U.S. officials have been keeping migrants from crossing bridges. Now, Mexico is doing the same. [Scroll down] Earlier this year, U.S. officials started turning migrants away before they could even reach the U.S. side of the bridge, telling them ports of entry were full. On one bridge, U.S. Customs and Border Protection even erected a physical structure on the invisible line between the two countries. But after asylum-seekers started camping out on the Mexican side of the bridges — sometimes sleeping on cardboard for days at a time — Mexican officials began blocking Central American migrants from entering those bridges at all. Democratic Governor Candidate: Illegals Part Of November 'Blue Wave'. Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said this week that illegal aliens will be part of the Democratic Party's "blue wave" in the upcoming midterm elections. Abrams made the remark while campaigning with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Tuesday at the Clayton County campaign office, the Free Beacon reported. "The thing of it is, the blue wave is African American. It is white. It is Latino. It is Asian-Pacific Islander," Abrams said. "It is made up of those who've been told that they are not worthy of being here. It is comprised of those who are documented and undocumented." Costly path-to-citizenship program comes under fire. U.S. Customs and Immigration empowers 866 regional centers around the country to oversee EB-5 investments. Recent years have seen numerous high-profile scandals at the centers. One in Vermont was shut down this summer over allegations its principals misused over $200 million in a Ponzi-like scheme. The Securities and Exchange Commission charged a Florida center blew a large chunk of $43.9 million in EB-5 investments. And last year in California, two fraudsters pled guilty to stealing millions from EB-5 investors and trying to sell visas to people on China's "100 Most Wanted List." Georgia's Democratic Candidate For Governor Implies Illegal Immigrants Will Vote For Democrats. Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said the alleged "blue wave" Democrats are expecting in the 2018 midterm elections is filled with "documented and undocumented" voters. "The thing of it is, the blue wave is African American. It is white. It is Latino. It is Asian-Pacific Islander," Abrams said at a Clayton County campaign office Tuesday in a video obtained by The Washington Free Beacon. "It is made up of those who've been told that they are not worthy of being here. It is comprised of those who are documented and undocumented." Birthright Citizenship for Illegal Aliens Costs Taxpayers $2.4 Billion. Children born to illegal-alien parents cost U.S. taxpayers $2.4 billion each year according to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies. The report concludes that of all births in the U.S. likely paid for by taxpayers, $5.3 billion is spent each year on children born to illegal alien or immigrant parents. Analyzing government data, CIS says that roughly 1 in every 5 child[ren] born in the United States has a foreign-born mother, accounting for 791,000 births each year. Of those, an estimated 290,000 children are born to illegal-alien parents each year. CIS estimates that 67% of illegal-alien parents are either uninsured or have access to Medicaid. Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono is Not Confused, She's Willfully Ignorant. Senator Mazie Hirono of Hawaii is all kinds of confused, poor thing. Yes, she's an elected Washington lawmaker. NO, she apparently knows absolutely nothing about immigration law. You see, I always figured that Mazie Horono — like most Democrats — was just willfully ignorant and embraced the liberal "absence of logic" ideology because that's how the left stays in power and that's the level of voter intelligence they cater to. After observing Ms. Horono's exchange on Capitol Hill with an ICE official last Tuesday, I now realize the Senator from Hawaii isn't play acting. What I saw was authentic, genuine dumb [...] Trump Rule Rejects Migrants Who Cannot Speak English. Federal officials will likely reject legal migrants' requests for visas or green cards if they cannot speak English, says a draft regulation from President Donald Trump's Department of Homeland Security. "English language proficiency is a skill that also is relevant in determining whether an alien is likely to become a public charge in the future," says the draft "public charge" regulation. The regulation is intended to help officials exclude migrants who will likely rely on American taxpayers for their health care, welfare, housing, and wages. Poll: Plurality of Latinos 'Less Likely to Vote' for Candidates Who Want to Abolish ICE. A plurality of Latino voters are "less likely to vote" for a candidate in the 2018 midterm elections who supports abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Telemundo poll. The poll, released on Sunday, found that 36% of Hispanic voters said they are "less likely to vote" for a candidate who "favors abolishing ICE" while 33% said they are "more likely to vote." Another 26% said there is "no difference" and 5% said they were "not sure." Yale study: Illegal immigrant population likely double, possibly triple previous estimates. Professors at Yale University have roiled the immigration debate with a new study calculating there are between 16 million and 30 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. — as much as three times more than most demographers figure. The professors' model looked at estimates of how many people came illegally, and how many people likely left, and concluded there are a lot more people who arrived than the 11 million suggested by traditional estimates. The model says the most likely figure is double that, at about 22 million. If true, the numbers would mean U.S. officials have done a poorer job of catching illegal immigrants than imagined, and that one out of every nine people living in the U.S. is here illegally. Ivy League Study: Illegal Population is 22 Million, Double Establishment Estimate. The population of illegal migrants is roughly 22 million, or twice the establishment estimate of 11 million, say three professors from Yale University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The shocking estimate will force establishment politicians and pro-migration advocates to recalculate the estimated impact of the huge illegal population on wages and salaries, on crime rates, welfare consumption, rental and real-estate prices, productivity rates, and the distribution of job-creating investment funds to coastal vs. heartland states. Study finds there are over 22million undocumented immigrants in the US — more than double previous estimate. A new study has found that the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States is more than double what was previously estimated. Two Yale professors and an instructor at MIT Sloan School of Management conducted the extensive research and found that there are 22.1 million illegal immigrants in the country. The widely estimated number is thought to be around 11.3 million, but researchers Edward Kaplan, Jonathan Feinstein and Mohammad Fazel-Zarandi claim that is way off. 'Don't Be Fooled by Leftist Lies' About the Immigration Explosion. When did our immigration system start functioning like a charity to benefit third-world countries rather than America? When did it become the case that the interests of foreigners should take precedent over those of American citizens? It's a peculiar thing. A massive wave of third-world immigration has been engulfing America for half a century, yet all American citizens hear about from the "lamestream" media is what a racist, intolerant country we have. As their thinking goes, if we don't openly accept millions of individuals who have no desire to embrace the language, culture and values that made America the greatest country in the history of the world, then we must be racists. It's not the elites who have suffered the consequences of hundreds of thousands of unvetted foreigners flocking to the United States or had their communities transformed, endangered and eroded by 10 million illegal aliens. It's the average American citizen who bears that burden. ICE arrested immigrants who came forward to take in undocumented children. Federal officers have arrested dozens of immigrants who came forward to take care of immigrant children in government custody, and the Trump administration is pledging to go after more. The news will serve as confirmation of the worst fears of immigrants and their advocates: that a recent move by President Donald Trump's administration to more fully vet people who come forward to care for undocumented immigrant children who are alone in the US has been a way for the administration to track down and arrest more undocumented immigrants. Are We on the Verge of Civil War? Legal, diverse, meritocratic and measured immigration has always been America's great strength. Assimilation, integration, and intermarriage within the melting pot used to turn new arrivals into grateful Americans in a generation or two. But when immigration is often illegal, not diverse and massive, then balkanization follows. Currently, the country hosts 60 million non-natives — the largest number of immigrants in America's history. Yet unlike the past, America often does not ask new immigrants to learn English and assimilate as quickly as possible. Immigration is instead politicized. Newcomers are seen as potentially useful voting blocs. Tribalism is the new American norm. 'Serial killer' working as border patrol agent suspected of deaths of 4 women. Texas authorities charged a US Border Patrol supervisor with murder following what they called a two-week serial killing spree that left four female sex workers dead and ended when a fifth woman escaped at a service station and found help. 1-in-7 US residents are immigrants, 44.5 million, most ever. The percentage of the U.S population that is immigrant has reached the highest level in 107 years, with nearly one-in-seven being foreign born, according to new data from the Census Bureau. An analysis of the data by the Center for Immigration Studies said that there are 44.5 million legal and illegal immigrants in the country, the highest ever in U.S. history, with the most from Latin America. US has its highest foreign-born population in over a century. The United States had the highest share of foreigners living in the country last year since 1910, according to a new analysis of census data. Immigrants represented 13.7 percent of the population in 2017, up from 13.5 percent in 2015 and the highest percentage since the 14.7 percent in 1910. Today's immigrants are better educated than their predecessors, and a lot more are Asians, according to an analysis by the Brookings Institution released Thursday [9/13/2018]. California DMV Gives Illegal Voters a Surge. Last week California's Department of Motor Vehicles sent 23,000 "erroneous" voter registrations to the office of Secretary of State Alex Padilla, who maintains the list of registered voters. The DMV blamed it technical errors and said none of the erroneous registrations involved undocumented immigrants. Padilla was "extremely disappointed and deeply frustrated" and the DMV assured him it wouldn't happen again. Legitimate voters have good reason to believe Padilla was not disappointed but delighted. The odds are strong that illegals make up most if not all of the newly registered voters. The registrations of illegals will be happening again, in greater numbers, as the November election approaches. The day after the 23,000 registrations made news, it emerged that from late April to early August, the DMV registered 182,000 "new voters," with the largest number, 112,000, choosing "no party." Neither the DMV nor Padilla would explain the numbers but the trend is evident and all by design. Illegal immigrants cited in theft of 39 million Social Security numbers. Nearly 40 million Social Security numbers have been stolen and used by illegal immigrants and others to get work, according to agency records obtained by an immigration reform group. The Immigration Reform Law Institute said that from 2012 to 2016 there were "39 million instances where names and Social Security numbers on W-2 tax forms did not match the corresponding Social Security records." The group said that there is a "thriving black market" used by illegal immigrants to get Social Security numbers needed to get a job. San Fran Green Lights Illegals To Vote. Our country has twisted itself in knots over the possibility of foreigners (ie: Russia) having unduly influenced our elections (even though recounts and investigations have confirmed that the outcome was NOT changed by foreign interference). You'd think that would be reminder enough as to just how precious the individual value of a lawful voter is, and how it must be safeguarded against anything that would erode the value of that one vote. Mo Brooks: Likely 15M Illegal Aliens in U.S., Giving Blue States 20 Additional Congressional Seats. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) says the counting of illegal aliens when dividing up congressional seats and electoral college votes is a violation of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Brooks, along with the state of Alabama, are suing the federal government for their counting of illegal aliens, rather than citizens, in congressional apportionment and the dividing up of electoral college votes. Spanish-language sample ballots now required in 32 more Florida counties. A federal judge has ordered 32 counties statewide to provide sample ballots in Spanish to accommodate thousands of Puerto Ricans who moved to Florida after Hurricane Maria. Federal Judge Mark Walker issued an order Friday [9/7/2018], calling English-language ballots a detriment to voters who only speak Spanish. The Elephant at the Southern Border. Why do the public discussions of immigration overwhelmingly focus on our Southern border while the influx of almost equal numbers of Asians, Europeans, and Indians goes unnoticed? Why fixate on Hispanics? The prevailing explanation, at least the one advanced publicly by Donald Trump and his supporters, is that Hispanic immigrants are disproportionately inclined toward criminality and long-term welfare dependency vis-à-vis other immigrant groups. The elephant in the room is the low I.Q. of these would-be future Americans. Specifically, the average I.Q. in central American countries — Honduras 81, El Salvador 81, Guatemala 79, for example — would assign these migrants and their offspring to the "educable" or mildly retarded category in schools, unable to master all but the basics (Mexico might be a small exception with an average I.Q. of 88). Deportations up 9 percent in 2018; still below Obama peak years. Immigration arrests and deportations are rising under the Trump administration, according to the latest statistics released Thursday — though they're still far shy of the levels during the peak years of President Obama. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says it has removed more than 191,000 people through the first nine months of the fiscal year, which is 9 percent higher than the same period in 2017. Those deportations span both people nabbed at the border by Customs and Border Protection, and in the interior of the U.S. by ICE, where arrests are up 17 percent so far this year. Of the deportees, nearly all either had criminal records or were defying previous deportation orders. Trump Deputies Release Rule Closing Obama's 'Flores' Catch-and-Release Loophole. President Donald Trump's deputies released a draft regulation which will shut the 2015 Flores catch-and-release loophole, and largely end the migration of unskilled Central American laborers into the United States. The regulation will help Trump fulfill his campaign promise to block illegal migration because it will allow officials to quietly detain migrant families together while judges assess their legal claims. Few migrants can win their immigration or asylum claims, so the no-release process will likely deter many poor migrants — such as Guatemalan David Xol — from paying smugglers to help them seek jobs in the United States. ICE raid at Texas company nets more than 100 illegal immigrant arrests, officials say. More than 100 workers were arrested at a Texas trailer manufacturer Tuesday in a federal immigration raid. The raid targeting Load Trail Trailers in Sumner netted 160 arrests. It was at least the second immigration raid targeting the business, the last coming in 2014. At the time, the company paid $445,000 fine for hiring illegal immigrants to work in its plant, officials said. A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigation began after a tip the company was knowingly hiring illegal immigrants, the agency said. All detainees will be interviewed to determine who remains in custody and who gets humanitarian release, officials said. Yes, Aliens, Including Illegal Aliens, Vote In Our Elections. Back in February of 2017 Time Magazine's Wendy Weiser And Douglas Keith published "The Actually True and Provable Facts About Non-Citizen Voting," claiming that "Like voter fraud generally, non-citizen voting is incredibly rare. Simply put, we already know that ineligible non-citizens do not vote in American elections — including the 2016 election — except at negligible rates." They based their analysis on state prosecutions of vote fraud, but what they failed to account for was the fact that few states, even those run by Republicans, conduct the kind of investigations necessary to uncover vote Illegal votingfraud, and even fewer elected officials want to risk the charges of racism and vote suppression typically hurled at any official conducting such an investigation. Top Texas Democrats want to decriminalize unauthorized border crossings. A trio of Democrats running for top offices in Texas want to decriminalize unauthorized border crossings. U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke, who's challenging Republican Sen. Ted Cruz for his Senate seat, gubernatorial candidate Lupe Valdez, and congressional candidate Veronica Escobar told HuffPost they are in favor of such a move, which the report says would be simpler to implement than abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as some Democrats have demanded. Texas Dems Call for Decriminalizing Border Crossing. Crossing the border illegally should no longer be a criminal matter, three Texas Democrats running for national office said over the weekend. Senate candidate Rob O'Rourke, gubernatorial candidate Lupa [sic] Valdez, and House candidate Veronica Escobar all backed the proposal, the Huffington Post reports. Illegally crossing the border is currently a criminal act under federal law, with an associated fine and maximum of six months jail time for the first offense. The Trump administration took advantage of this fact in its "zero tolerance" policy, which required U.S. Attorneys in the border states to charge every violator criminally, rather than waiving prosecution and immediately deporting. Texas AG Says Dems' Call to Decriminalize Illegal Entry Could 'Cost Lives'. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said Sunday on "Fox & Friends" that a push by three Democrats running for office in the state to decriminalize illegal entry could cost lives. Paxton said that the issue is "a little scary" and that simply advocating for more open borders could draw more people to cross illegally. "The reality is we already struggle with this," he said. "It's going to cost lives if we go down this path." Cuomo pardons undocumented immigrant ahead of deportation hearing. Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued yet another pardon to an undocumented immigrant with a criminal conviction ahead of his deportation hearing Tuesday [8/21/2018]. Harveys Gomez, 39, a Bronx resident and Dominican Republic native, is the latest immigrant to be granted clemency by Cuomo. Gomez was convicted of criminal sale of a controlled substance nearly a decade ago and has been in the custody of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement since October, despite having completed probation, according to Cuomo's office. Cuomo's office says Gomez came to the US when he was 8 years old, is openly gay and HIV-positive, is a survivor of childhood sex abuse and "has no family in the Dominican Republic who would be able to support him if deported." The Editor says... What to Expect if Democrats Win the Midterms. [Scroll down] The deluge of sensational news about families separated at the border this summer reveals that immigration will be an existential issue for the Democrats going forward. Native-born Latinos like me will not be a reliable voting bloc for the left, so they will need constant infusions of Latin American, Asian, and Middle Eastern immigrants. Democrats need them to enter the USA, get citizenship, and feel indebted to Democrats for at least one or two generations. There is no way a Democratic Congress will get sworn in without bill after bill trying to institute open borders and an unconditional pathway to citizenship. More Than 700,000 Overstayed Visas in 2017. Around 700,000 people overstayed their temporary visas in fiscal year 2017, according to a recently released estimate from the Department of Homeland Security. Six hundred thousand of these individuals are suspected to have remained in the country, according to DHS, while the other 100,000 or so simply departed after their visas expired. The 700,000 count represents a tiny fraction of the nearly 53 million people admitted to the United States in FY17. However, it is 300,000 more people than the number apprehended trying to illegally cross the southwestern border for the same year, indicating that visa overstays represent a more serious source of illegal immigration than border crossers. Remember how Brazil, Ecuador and Peru condemned Arizona over illegal immigration in 2010? Remember how Arizona Governor Jan Brewer got piled on by 17 Latin American nations in 2010, condemning her state for attempting to enforce federal immigration law based on the reality that Arizona was being overrun by illegals and the Obama administration was doing nothing? It was bad enough that the Obama administration sued her state to end the law, something it only did with partial success. But then Latin states such as Brazil, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador joined the fun, piously weighing in to sign on to a highly questionable Friend of the Court brief led by Mexico, condemning Arizona for trying to enforce U.S. immigration law. Scroll forward to 2018. Now the shoe is on the other tootsie. Because right now, those are the very nations pulling up the drawbridge to illegals as their own countries get inundated by vast human waves of Venezuelans flooding over their borders without papers. Why come to America if they don't want to be Americans? "They" are preciously called "immigrants," "refugees," "migrants," "undocumented Americans," and other pathetic-sounding names tailored to wrench our hearts — we purportedly cruel, unsympathetic, inhuman Americans. Luxuriating here, behind our walls of wealth, abundance, and security, we deny them our (stolen) largesse and close up our fat-wracked arms to these noble, sacred, starving, uneducated, illiterate, diseased, violent, and socialist masses from "third-world," countries. Majority of Foreign Refugees Can't Speak English After Five Years Living in U.S. The majority of foreign refugees arriving in the United States every year cannot speak English, even after they have lived in the U.S. for five years. An annual report by the Office of Refugee Resettlement was analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies' Jason Richwine and reveals the extent to which assimilation to life in America has failed for the refugee population. About 58 percent, or nearly 6-in-10 refugees have "below basic" English skills after living in the U.S. for five years. These unassimilated refugees are sometimes described as "functionally illiterate." The number of refugees who cannot speak English is far below the native-born population, where 85 percent of Americans are proficient in English. Nancy Pelosi: Voting for Democrats Gives "Leverage" to Illegal Immigrants. Minority leader Nancy Pelosi told supporters in El Paso, Texas, a border city on the US-Mexico divide, that Democrats give "leverage" to illegals. What an amazing admission! And, of course, she conflates legal immigration with illegal immigration. No Borders, No Nation. With the huge numbers of people who want to come to the United States — often from Third World countries — it should be evident to all Americans that to accommodate them under present conditions in this country would be simply impossible. First, the country is broke and can't afford the welfare they'd receive. Second, we are at a point in time where "becoming an American" is no longer important to immigrants (it is more important to retain traditional culture and beliefs), and the country is already riven with dissent as each racial and cultural group tries to get its government-issued preferences. Third, the country is many hundreds of billions behind in infrastructure repair, without creating loads of new infrastructure necessary for the influx. And there's more. Yet Democrats — and globalists in general — are against borders because it's "just not right." If Hollywood is going to strip Trump of his Walk of Fame star for sexual misconduct then when will Spacey and Cosby lose theirs? My favourite game in this era of increasingly hysterical Trump-bashing fervor is Whataboutery. It's a game you can play on your own, or with friends, and involves taking shrieking liberal criticism of President Trump — and applying it to liberal heroes instead. For example, liberals curl themselves into balls of apoplexy about Trump's draconian tactics to deport illegal immigrants — whilst conveniently overlooking that 'Saint' Barack Obama threw out more than three MILLION people during his tenure, splitting up many families, and earning himself the nickname in Mexico of 'Deporter-in-Chief'. Now the White House wants to make it harder for LEGAL immigrants to become citizens — if they've ever gotten welfare or used Obamacare. President Donald Trump's administration is preparing a new proposal that would make it harder for legal immigrants to become citizens if they've ever gotten a welfare check, availed themselves of food stamps, or used Obamacare, it emerged Tuesday [8/7/2018]. The plan is the brainchild of White House senior adviser Stephen Miller and would limit the number of migrants who can become American citizens or obtain green cards, NBC News reported. "I'm Confused": Dem Senator Has No Clue that Illegals Break the Law When Crossing The Border. On Capitol Hill, ICE official Matthew Albence has to explain to Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) that illegal immigrants break the law when crossing the border. This woman is a Senator? Immigration is the winning issue. The Harvard-Harris poll affirmed a survey in June that 73 percent of Americans want immigration reform and 76 percent want secure borders. The 70 percent who want stricter enforcement of immigration laws include 77 percent of white voters, 53 percent of blacks and, in a mild surprise, 51 percent of Hispanics. Among the respondents to the poll, a strong, 64 percent majority want illegal immigrants to be sent home, and 53 percent want them prosecuted. Is ICE melting under pressure from leftists and Democrats? The ongoing assault on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is truly unhinged from reality. As one pundit observed of the Left's latest open-borders crusade: There's more outrage over ICE than ISIS. Data — and the lack of it — tell a far different story than the screamers in the streets. Just as the Abolish-ICE crowd conveniently glosses over Barack Obama's migrant detention centers, they ignore the most recently reported deportation numbers. In fiscal year 2017 (which included four months of the Obama administration), ICE deported 226,119 people, fewer than the previous year's 240,255. In fiscal 2012, Obama's ICE agents deported 409,849 (still less than 4 percent of the estimated 12 million illegal aliens in this country). The ACLU Won't Rest Until Every Illegal Gets In. After all the wailing about the children streaming across our wide-open, wall-less border, there was very little media interest in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday on this very subject. Knowing facts could interfere with their showboating displays of compassion. Among the facts journalists might have learned is that, although the Constitution technically gives Congress the power to write laws, it turns out our immigration laws are written by the ACLU. The children clamoring across our border can't be held for more than 20 days. This isn't because Congress, after hearings, debate and negotiation, passed a law. The 20-day rule was the ACLU's innovation. What part of 'illegal' does Sen. Mazie Hirono not understand? Democratic senator Mazie Hirono of Hawaii is "confused" about why illegals get detained by lawmen. No, really. Apparently, Democrats have skidded so far downhill that they don't even understand that illegals are here illegally. As the word says. Yesterday's [7/31/2018] lovely exchange between a lawyerly Immigration and Customs Enforcement official and Hirono was the proof of it. After the ICE official had to take the time to school her in basic immigration law, all she could respond with was, "I'm confused." [Video clip] 'I'm Confused' — ICE Official Takes Democratic Senator To School. Democratic Hawaii Sen. Mazie Hirono received a quick lesson on U.S. immigration law from ICE official Matthew Albence during a hearing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday [7/31/2018]. [Video clip] Majority of Democrats: Illegal Aliens Should be Given the Right to Vote. A majority of Democrat voters now say that the 12 million illegal aliens currently residing in the United States should be given the right to vote. In a new poll by Rasmussen Reports, a majority of 54 percent of Democrats said illegal aliens in the U.S. should be given the right to vote so long as they pay taxes. Illegal aliens paying taxes ensures the identity theft of Americans. Asylum Rules Would Allow Migrating Foreign Population to Fill Half of Midwest. New asylum rules approved by the GOP majority and Democrat minority House Appropriations Committee would give the right to migrate to the United States to a foreign population at least half the size of the American Midwest. Two asylum rules pushed by Rep. David Price (D-NC) as well as Rep. Kevin Yoder (R-KS) and approved by the GOP-majority House Appropriations Committee would allow foreign nationals seeking refuge in the U.S. to migrate based on claims that they are fleeing domestic abuse or gang violence. The Editor says... Tampa police arrest anti-ICE protesters who were locked together by the neck. The protest against Immigrations and Customs Enforcement started 12 days ago with a handful of tents set up in front of Tampa's Department of Homeland Security office. It reached a crescendo Monday morning [7/30/2018] when six protesters bound themselves in pairs at the neck with bicycle locks and parked themselves in front of the office's doors. Then the anti-ICE demonstration came to a crunching end. Authorities broke the bicycle locks and arrested the protesters. Visa Overstays make up 2/3rds of the Annual Increase of Illegal Aliens. Florida politicians have promised to implement e-Verify statewide. They have not. A recent study shows that Florida ranks third in the number of visa overstays. Beggars can't be choosers — without a lawyer. The Editor says... I've seen what Open Borders can do. Stop them at any cost! As someone who has seen the impact of open borders and lack of border enforcement, I can state unequivocally that nothing less than our national integrity is at stake. Anyone who favors the sort of open border policies that find excuses for individual incursions in the name of some false human rights claim needs to come on my next mission along India's borders with Nepal and Bangladesh. And I should know about human rights as I have been placing my personal safety on the line for them since the turn of the century. Anyone who believes that policies abetting open borders are not a dagger in our national heart should see the damage they caused and the international conflicts that they enable. Irony: Portland's Occupy ICE Protest Builds Wall, Creates Border Patrol To Keep Out Police. On Wednesday [7/25/2018], The Daily Wire reported that "Occupy ICE" protesters in Portland had been given eviction notices and were ordered to pack up their belongings and demonstrate against vague notions of tyranny and oppression elsewhere. But while some indeed cleared out (in a manner of speaking, at least), others decided to stay and fight, erecting — ironically — a "border wall" to enclose the Occupy ICE PDX encampment and stationing "border guards" around their tiny independent nation. No, really. The border wall, which is in fact quite high (perhaps, say, to prevent border jumpers), went up over the weekend. 9 Times Globalists Claimed Mass Immigration Is Necessary to Increase GDP. For decades, the big business lobby, ideologically globalist politicians, and economists have claimed that the only route to increasing the United States' Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is through increasing legal immigration levels. On Friday [7/27/2018], thanks to President Trump's "America First" economy, GDP soared to 4.1 percent for the second quarter of 2018, outpacing the first quarter, in which GDP was 2.2 percent. United Airlines Gives FREE Flights To Illegal Aliens Who Crossed US Border. If you want to travel from Houston, TX to Phoenix, AZ on United Airlines tomorrow, you will have to purchase a ticket that will likely cost over $1,000. If you're an illegal alien, however, you can fly for free. Calls for open borders wind up closing doors for Democrats. Democrats on the far left appear to be taking their anti-border rhetoric, including calls for the abolishment of ICE, one step too far. Over the past two months, Democratic National Committee Deputy Chairman and US Representative from Minnesota Keith Ellison has passionately and persistently advocated his position that national borders — specifically, the U.S. southern border — create "an injustice." In an interview just last week, Ellison suggested that because corporations "can go back and forth across the border seeking out the lowest wages," regular people should be able to "go back and forth across the border seeking out the highest wages." Does the Republican Party have the guts necessary to win the midterms? Trump won the nomination and the presidency on the voters' belief that this guy, at last, was someone who meant what he said on immigration. He, and the Republican Party, can hold the House and the Senate if they focus the electorate's attention on the Dems' immigration lunacy, and then, secondarily, on the president's amazing economic results. On immigration, the Dems' agenda has become a smorgasbord of electoral emetics that only needs to be served up to American voters to produce a collective gag that will be heard round the country. ICE Captures 132 Illegal Immigrants, Including A High-Ranking MS-13 Member, In DC Area Roundup. The Immigration Customs Enforcement Agency apprehended 132 illegal immigrants in a Washington, D.C., metropolitan area operation that took place over the last two weeks, according to an ICE statement released on Tuesday [7/24/2018]. The Washington Field Office recently concluded Operation Eagle's Shield, which went from July 9-20, which targeted "various violent offenders, gang members, sex offenders, fugitives from justice and those who otherwise pose a significant public safety threat," according to their statement. Voters [are] Opposed to Illegal Immigrants Voting in Local Elections. San Francisco is allowing non-citizen parents and guardians of children, including illegal immigrants, to vote in the upcoming school board elections. That doesn't fly for most voters nationwide, but Democrats are receptive to it. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 31% of Likely U.S. Voters favor letting illegal immigrants vote for local officials in the area where they live. Sixty-two percent (62%) are opposed. Hot New Idea From Democrats: We Should Be Compensating Illegal Aliens. Now that Democrats have fully embraced an open border agenda heading into the 2018 midterm elections, they're adding another goody into the mix. According to New York Democrat Joe Crowley, who just lost his House seat to a 28-year-old socialist, Americans should be compensating illegal aliens who cross into the United States. "I suggest they need to be compensated for what this administration did," Donnelly said during the Democrats' weekly news conference Wednesday [7/25/2018]. He was referring to the Trump administration's zero tolerance border enforcement and prosecution policies. DHS Massively Expands Enforcement Against Illegals' Employers. The Department of Homeland Security has dramatically raised worksite enforcement to deter employers from hiring cheap illegal workers. Since October, the agency's Homeland Security Investigations unit has checked employment records at 6,093 worksites, up from 1,716 in the prior fiscal year from October 2016 to the end of September 2017. The current pace of checks in 2018 is almost a five-fold increase from the prior year and included 100 stores in the 7-Eleven chain and 77 companies in California. ICE more than Tripled its U.S. work place investigations in 2018. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency more than tripled the number of work site investigations it conducted so far in 2018, according to new federal data. Since October 1, 2017 — the beginning of fiscal year 2018 — ICE has opened investigations into 6,093 workplaces, compared to 1,716 in all of fiscal year 2017. The agency also made 984 administrative arrests as of July 20 of this year, nearly six times the 172 officials made the year prior. Administrative arrests are when someone is accused of being in the country illegally, but they haven't been charged with any other crimes. San Francisco makes it clear what immigration debate is all about — votes for Democrats. San Francisco is permitting "undocumented immigrants," as political correctness demands we label them, to register to vote this November in local school board elections. Who doubts this is the first step by the left and Democrats toward full voting rights in state and eventually in federal elections? The claim by lawyers will be that it is discriminatory to allow undocumented immigrants to vote in local and state elections and not for members of Congress and for president. At bottom this is what the entire immigration debate is about. A Thousand Illegal Immigrants Crossing the Border Every Day. "We're still seeing about 1,000 a day crossing our border illegally between ports of entry, and another two to three hundred arriving without documents at ports of entry," U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan told Fox News. I assume he means Mexicans coming into the United States as opposed to Americans entering Mexico. Because the latter activity is strictly prohibited. The former, less so. WaPo Basically Admits that Mexico is a [Bad] Country. The editorial board of the Washington Post jumped back into the fray this week with their own suggestions for what should be done regarding asylum seekers. To their credit, the WaPo's editors begin by admitting that we do, in fact, have a refugee crisis on our hands. They go one step further, admitting that the Obama administration was "flummoxed" by the unending flow of families and unaccompanied children trying to flee Central and South America and enter the United States, particularly in 2014. But they are dismissive of the one solution being put forward by the Trump administration which might actually make a difference. We've had a "safe third country" agreement with Canada since 2004. Under that plan, migrants are to apply for asylum in the first "safe" country they reach. So why can't we have a similar deal with Mexico? Because, at least in the opinion of the Washington Post's editors, Mexico is too much of a [bad] nation to offer them any safety. Illegal Immigration and Poor Americans. [Peter] Kirsanow is frustrated with what is happening in America today. He is a black American and believes that illegal immigration has a devastating effect on low-income American citizens. It seems that the Democrats and left are just using the illegal immigration issue as a talking point, supporting aliens at others' expense. "We need to understand illegal immigrants have some negative competitive effects on American workers. They drag down wage rates, drag down employment, and compete directly with blacks in industries such as service, hospitality, and construction. Welfare and college spots have been taken from Americans and given to illegal immigrants. They are a net drain on the economy." Steven A. Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies, agrees. "Because the overwhelming share of illegal immigrants residing in the country have not completed high school or have only a high school education, it would require highly implausible assumptions to avoid a substantial net fiscal drain from this population. In short, illegal immigrants are a large net fiscal drain because of their education levels, and this fact drives the results."
Losing America. Sadly, we now have a substantial force within the Democratic Party who currently advocate and even believe in wide open borders and illegal immigration. [...] Most rational citizens understand that unfettered and unchecked illegal immigration is a recipe for disaster. Yet huge factions of the new radical leftist Democrats currently believe illegal immigration is some kind of noble cause involving social justice. Many within the current party leadership have become all too willing to completely toss away the former US immigration melting pot model and happily replace it with a new "salad bowl" model. Reality and history have proven to all of us that a nation simply we cannot safely absorb relentless waves of unassimilated immigration and expect to survive. The left's 'hippies spitting on troops in airports' act is back: Michelle Wolf demonizes ICE. The always obnoxious leftwing comedian, Michelle Wolf, is back, this time demonizing ICE agents. She's got a new video on Netflix that she's spreading around on Twitter. Her target is the people who stop human trafficking rings bringing in underage girls, and who bust up modern slavery rings. That's ICE doing its job, while Wolf portrays them as baby killers of very base intentions, grotesque people who are revolted at the sight of happy Mexicans at their wonderful big family celebrations, as well as criminally inclined and pig-stupid to boot. And of course, it's part of the foolish Democratic party agenda to "Abolish ICE!" Mind Blowing Cost of Illegals Is Highest Ever - Numbers Released Show Huge Burden To States. Every American taxpayer should be outraged at the numbers in the report below. Open borders under 8 years of Obama has cost American taxpayers a tremendous amount: more than ever before! Don't forget the thousands upon thousands of illegal alien minors who flooded the border during Obama's presidency. The bottom line is that open borders have consequences and the unfortunate consequence for taxpayers is we're footing the bill for illegals and THIS IS NOT SUSTAINABLE! Unbelievable Nerve: Illegal Detainee Complaints Cross The Line. Previous reports about illegal detainees haven't discussed the topic of food. The detainees must be feeling more entitled to what they want. Complaints of food not following "religious beliefs" are pretty shocking because these people are just lucky they survived crossing. In other words, beggars shouldn't be choosers. That might sound harsh but we are keeping thousands and thousands of these illegals at taxpayer expense. America is over 20 TRILLION dollars in debt so you have to ask yourself how long we can be the world's babysitter. DNC Deputy Chair Keith Ellison: National Borders Create 'An Injustice'. Democratic National Committee Deputy Chair Keith Ellison claimed during a recent interview that national borders creates an "injustice" for illegal aliens trying to cross them. [...] "The 12 million undocumented people in the United States are here because somebody wants them to be. They want them to do the work, but they don't want them to get any rights. They don't want to pay them fairly, they don't want them to be able to bargain collectively, they don't want them to be able to get occupational safety and standards — and that is what's really going on," Ellison said. The Editor says... The Left's Embarrassing Plea for Open Borders. [C]onsider how the DREAM Act and then DACA were sold to us on the lies that this legislative detritus was supposed to help "young immigrants" who were brought here as children and had no control over their situation. Of course, those "young immigrants" could have been in their mid-thirties and simply had to claim to have been present in the U.S. prior to their 16th birthdays. Then, when that bill failed to pass, President Obama cobbled together DACA — again claiming that this was about the children because, "Congress had failed to act." I wrote about this deception in my article, DACA: The Immigration Trojan Horse, How the original DREAM act was designed to cover 90% of the illegal alien population in the US. Now the press, and the Democrats along with certain judges, have gone off the deep end where an estimated 3,000 children have been separated from their parents along the U.S. Mexican border when they were caught being smuggled into the United States. Yes, Democrats Are Now The Party Of Open Borders. We've been seeing a lot of articles these days defending Democrats against charges that they are for open borders. But recent events show that the party has, in fact, morphed into one that reflexively opposes virtually any attempt to secure the southern border. National Guard deployment led to more than 10,000 arrests of illegal immigrants, says CBP. The National Guard's deployment to the southwest border in mid-April has led to 10,805 "deportable alien arrests" of people who illegally entered the United States from Mexico, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokeswoman said Monday [7/16/2018]. Because guardsmen are military personnel and not law enforcement officers, they cannot apprehend illegal immigrants. But CBP officers and Border Patrol agents apprehended thousands of people that guardsmen helped point out. 40% vacancy: Feds release illegal immigrant families instead of filling detention centers. The government pays for thousands of detention beds for illegal immigrant families, but nearly 40 percent of them were sitting unused in late June, even as the Department of Homeland Security was rushing to release parents and children into communities. The empty beds were revealed in court documents late last month. Lawyers who monitor U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's facilities said two major facilities were running well below capacity. ICE's biggest facility in Dilley, Texas, can hold 2,400 parents and children — but on June 27 and 28 it was at just 63 percent capacity, with 886 beds empty, the detainee logs showed. Although the beds were empty, the government was still paying for them. The Editor says... Mexican national gets prison time for faking citizenship, stealing $350G in benefits. Andres Avelino Anduaga, a Mexican national who impersonated an American citizen for more than 30 years, was sentenced to 37 months in federal prison for stealing more than $350,000 in government benefits from government agencies, Fox 5 San Diego reported. He was also reportedly ordered to pay back $360,908.85 in restitution to the Social Security Administration, the California Department of Health Care Services and the county of San Diego. The report, citing court documents, said in 1980, he used a birth certificate belonging to a U.S. citizen to obtain a California driver's license and a Social Security card, then used his new false identity to commit a variety of crimes. [The] Congressional Hispanic Caucus voted against abolishing ICE. Democrats' push to abolish ICE took a dagger to the heart Thursday when the Congressional Hispanic Caucus voted against endorsing the policy, saying it wouldn't solve anything. The CHC comprises nearly 30 Hispanic Democrats in the House and Senate, and it has been a leader on immigrant-rights, so its opposition is a devastating blow to those pushing the attack on U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. CHC Chair Michelle Lujan Grisham, New Mexico Democrat, said they want to see major changes in immigration, but renaming an agency or moving functions around won't achieve that. Democratic Congressmen Accuse Paul Ryan of Political Stunt for Calling for Vote on Their 'Abolish Ice' Bill. Three Democratic congressmen declared on Thursday that they will vote "no" on their own legislation if House Speaker Paul Ryan puts their bill on the floor. Reps. Mark Pocan of Wisconsin, Pramila Jayapal of Washington and Adriano Espaillat of New York introduced the Establishing a Humane Immigration Enforcement Act earlier Thursday, which would abolish ICE within one year of enactment, and also assemble a commission tasked with setting up a new immigration enforcement agency. Hours later, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy announced he planned to bring the proposed "Abolish ICE" bill to the floor, reported The Hill. Rep. Black Introduces 'Zero-Tolerance' Bill for Illegal Immigration. On July 10, Rep. Diane Black (R-Tenn.) introduced the Zero Tolerance for Illegal Entry Act, which would make it a felony to cross the U.S border illegally and would mandate an E-Verify system for American employers to ensure that they are not hiring illegal immigrants. The law would make illegally crossing the border for the first time a felony instead of a misdemeanor and would up the penalty from six months or less to a year and a day or more. The proposed law would also mandate the E-Verify verification system for U.S. businesses to ensure that the people they hire are not illegal immigrants. Invaders Are Not Immigrants. The Democratic Party, along with its shills in the mainstream media, has misleadingly blurred the lines between the definition of "immigrant" and "invader." An immigrant is an alien who has been granted the right to permanently reside in the United States by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. An "invader," as defined by Merriam Webster, is one who "trespasses, encroaches, and infringes upon another's property." The United States is our collective home and those who come here without seeking and gaining permission to enter our collective home are no different than an uninvited guest who enters our personal home to take up residence without permission. Older immigrants 'crowding out' US teens for summer jobs. Legal and illegal immigrants are "crowding out" American teens looking for summer jobs, and the impact of higher teen unemployment could be a drag on them for years, according to a new analysis of the seasonal workforce. The Center for Immigration Studies found that as the number of U.S. teens with summer jobs has dropped significantly, employment of immigrants has doubled. SCOTUS Says People Here Illegally Are Not Entitled to Due Process. People who enter our country illegally do not have due process rights despite what the left would have us believe. The Supreme Court has already ruled, repeatedly. Allowing illegal aliens to contest orders of removal is "a mockery to good immigration policy and law and order," the President said recently. Indeed it is. We have a recent example of that. All of the illegal aliens who came in with children will be allowed to stay in the country as a result of a ruling by another nobody judge on behalf of illegal aliens. Supreme Court Says Foreign Nationals Have No Due Process Rights Here. Contrary to what the liberal media and open-borders advocates say, immigrants are not owed same constitutional protections as regular Americans. Trump's answer to family separation: 'Don't come to our country illegally'. President Trump said Tuesday [7/10/2018] that families should not be coming into the country illegally if they don't want to face the consequences, such as being separated from each other. "Tell people not to come to our country illegally. That's the solution. Don't come to our country illegally. Come like other people do, come legally," Trump told reporters while departing for Europe to engage in North Atlantic Treaty Organization negotiations. Trump told reporters on the White House lawn that he wants to urge people to stop attacking U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and workers because "there is nobody under great danger." Supreme Court Says Foreign Nationals Have No Due Process Rights Here. Contrary to what the liberal media and open-borders advocates say, immigrants are not owed same constitutional protections as regular Americans. SCOTUS Says People Here Illegally Are Not Entitled to Due Process. People who enter our country illegally do not have due process rights despite what the left would have us believe.

Scams are overwhelming the US asylum system. People hoping to settle in the United States wait years for a green card to be legal residents. They play by the rules. Yet these law-abiding newcomers must feel like idiots, watching what's happening on the southern border. Hundreds of thousands of Central American migrants are walking right in. They're not waiting in line. They're using "asylum" requests as their E-ZPass. Just 12 percent of requests from El Salvadorans, 11 percent from Guatemalans and 7.5 percent from Hondurans are actually granted, according to the 'Department of Homeland Security. Never mind, the request gets them in the door. It's a shameful distortion of a program intended to provide a haven for true victims of state-sponsored religious, ethnic and political persecution. Madeleine Albright: U.S. Needs Open Borders So It Can Demand Same from Europe. Clinton-era Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has slammed U.S. efforts to secure the border, telling the BBC that the immigration policy of President Donald J. Trump "makes it very hard for America to tell Europeans ... to be more humane" Nigerian woman flew to the US to give birth to quadruplets. A Nigerian woman who flew to Texas to give birth to quadruplets has been able to take them home from NICU — just in time for Independence Day. And an adorable photograph of the babies shows nurses at Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital had them dressed for the occasion — swaddled in stars and stripes. Madeleine Albright: U.S. Needs Open Borders So It Can Demand Same from Europe. Clinton-era Secretary of State Madeleine Albright has slammed U.S. efforts to secure the border, telling the BBC that the immigration policy of President Donald J. Trump "makes it very hard for America to tell Europeans ... to be more humane[.]" Promoting her new book [...] on the Andrew Marr Show, the former U.S. Secretary of State said she has been "very troubled" by the Trump administration's moves to end the 'catch and release' of illegals into American communities while they await immigration hearings. On Immigration and the Supreme Court, Democrats Are Snookered. If the new Mexican president, López Obrador, adheres to his campaign proposal of not interfering with the drug cartels, he will not only be handing his northern provinces entirely over to the most vicious gangsters in the history of the Americas, he will oblige President Trump to take measures that will make the protracted debate about the wall, ICE, the immigration chain and lottery, and separation of children sublimely academic. He will force the United States to secure the border with an adequate deployment of the U.S. Army. [...] If the new Mexican government abandons the Drug War, it will be the equivalent, in ending debate and uniting opinion in the U.S., of Pearl Harbor. And if the Democrats take abolition of ICE and de facto open borders to the voters in November, Trump will mow them down like sitting ducks. 'I would have let that clown jump': Trump responds to woman who climbed the Statue of Liberty. After appearing in court on misdemeanor charges Thursday, 44-year-old Therese Okoumou claimed that she had decided to scale the statue's base on the Fourth of July to protest the Trump administration's policy that has led to the separation of thousands of children from their families. Hours later at a rally in Great Falls, Montana, Trump told the crowd: 'I would've said: "Let's get some nets and wait 'til she comes down."' Statue of Liberty climber identified as immigrant activist. Cops say Therese Patricia Okoumou — a 44-year-old immigrant from the Democratic Republic of the Congo — was the person responsible for the Fourth of July protest. She lives in the St. George neighborhood of Staten Island and is currently in federal custody, according to police sources. Officers from the NYPD's Emergency Service Unit transported her to a federal detention center Wednesday night following her three-hour standoff with authorities. Woman shuts down Liberty Island in New York after scaling the Statue of Liberty. Members of the public were evacuated from New York's iconic Liberty Island on Independence Day after a woman scaled the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, according to authorities. The woman, who at times could be seen waving what appeared to be a T-shirt, refused to climb down from her perch at the hem Lady Liberty's robe for about three hours, despite making contact with the joint U.S. Park Police and NYPD response team. Congolese Migrant Scales Statue of Liberty, Threatens to Push Cops off. A 44-year old leftist named Theresa Okoumou, who immigrated [LEGAL?] to the U.S., scaled the Statue of Liberty as part of an Abolish ICE 'Rise and Resist' movement. The Congolese woman threatened to push the rescuers off as they climbed to reach her and rescue her. Over 4500 visitors were evacuated and couldn't visit the monument. For some, it was probably their one opportunity. The woman was up there for four hours, sometimes pacing back and forth. Statue of Liberty climber identified as immigrant activist.

Dark Past of Statue Of Liberty Protester Discovered. The unhinged Democratic Party is running out of heroes. They have enlisted disgraced comedian Kathy Griffin, porn star Stormy Daniels, and former junkie Tom Arnold. The newest hero of the Democrats is a woman who scaled the Statue of Liberty to protest ICE, but now her dark past has been exposed. Therese Okoumou, 44, is a Congolese immigrant who attends one anti-President Donald Trump meeting per week. She was part of a "'Rise and Resist" protest on Independence Day that ended with police climbing the statue and risking their lives to save her from her own ignorance, New York Daily News reported. The phenomenon on the southern border. People hoping to settle in the United States wait years for a green card to be legal residents. They play by the rules.

America Is Not the Common Property of All Mankind. [Scroll down] The populace is roused. For the first time in a generation, it actually has political leaders trying to act in their interest. That is intolerable to the open borders crowd, which is reacting with fury and hysteria. Witness the disgraceful Red Guard heckling of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen out of a public restaurant — and the restaurant's management doing nothing about it. Another restaurant's owner kicked out the president's press secretary. And there is the far more disgraceful — downright evil — doxing of federal immigration agents by a university professor, to encourage left-wing brownshirts to harm civil servants and their families. The biggest losers in Mexico's election? The Democrats. Every election has winners and losers, and Mexico's is no exception. While the press is making much of Mexico's centrist PRI and center-right PAN parties being the big losers in last night's election of socialist Andrés Manuel López-Obrador in Mexico, the real loser is actually up north, in the U.S. Democratic Party. Sounds strange until you look at the details. After all the ideological compatibility between AMLO's new lefty MORENA party and the increasingly socialist U.S. Democrats seems to be identical. Both favor heavy social spending, forced unionization of workers, political patronage, Chicago-style political muscle, and fealty to the ideals of the Socialist International. It's what most socialists do until they run out of Other People's Money. Democrats have staked their future on uneducated, needy illegals forming the base of their party's fortunes. In Mexico, AMLO has done the same thing. The problem comes because the Mexicans in question are the same people. Warren joins calls to get rid of ICE. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Saturday [6/30/3018] joined calls from the left to get rid of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), saying it should be replaced with something new. "The president's deeply immoral actions have made it obvious we need to rebuild our immigration system from top to bottom starting by replacing ICE with something that reflects our morality and that works," Warren said during a rally in Boston. LA Mayor Eric Garcetti Attends Lunatic Abolish ICE Protest, Gets Booed Off Stage. There was a mass demonstration in Los Angeles Saturday [6/30/2018] for open borders and the dismantling of ICE. Hundreds of leftists and Spanish speaking immigrants attended the event. [...] As if the exploding crime, massively increasing homelessness and stifling traffic weren't enough, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti is facing a new obstacle to his presidential hopes. First he was seen at the Los Angeles March For Immigrant Children not reacting at all during an extremist's speech who called the founding of America "criminal". Then things went from bad to worse when hizzoner was booed off stage by lunatic leftists who think Garcetti is a lying sellout who's not extreme enough for them. They held up a sign calling Garcetti's sanctuary city policy a lie and then proceeded to boo him offstage. 'Abolish ICE' Zealots Occupy Fantasy Island. "No ban. No wall. No borders at all." That is the radical rallying cry of the Democratic Socialists of America. Waving desecrated U.S. flags, grubby fists and ratty anarchy banners, DSA's professional protesters are targeting Trump administration officials, threatening immigration enforcement agents, and blockading detention facilities and processing centers nationwide. On a similar note, Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., proudly marched in a parade last week with a T-shirt emblazoned with "Yo No Creo En Fronteras" — Spanish for "I don't believe in borders." These are abjectly unserious people, operating in bad faith, who pose a serious threat to our nation's well-being. Dem Senator Calls For ICE To Be Abolished — Forgets What She Said About Illegal Immigrants In 2009. Democratic Senator and potential 2020 presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand has called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be abolished. The far-left position has gained popularity on the fringes of the Democratic Party as the immigration debate heats up in the country. Gillibrand joins New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio who said Friday [6/29/2018] "ICE's time has come and gone. We should abolish ICE. We should create something better, something different." However, when Gillibrand was just elected to a rather conservative House seat in Upstate New York, she was singing a different tune on illegal immigration. According to a report by the New York Times from 2009, Gillibrand was a hawk on immigration, advocating for strict enforcement of our immigration laws. In Chicago and elsewhere, Latinos [are] converting to Islam. There are no precise figures on how many Latino Muslims live in the Chicago area, where the population is about 30 percent Latino. But, according to various estimates, the 130 mosques in the city and suburbs are the spiritual home to a small but growing group of converts — Latino Muslims. Is Trump the Most Fun President Ever? On Tuesday [6/26/2018] the Supreme Court released its opinions in Trump v. Hawaii and National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra. [...] In the first case, the Court ruled it was within the power of the President to suspend entry of aliens to the United States. Something obvious from the clear text of the relevant law. The self-styled "wise Latina," Justice Sotomayor made a ridiculous comparison to the internment of the Japanese-Americans by FDR, which was batted away as the inapt comparison it is. As significant as the Court's adherence to the text of the relevant law is, Justice Thomas's observation that District Court issuance of nationwide injunctions (a practice begun in 1963) is based on dubious legal authority. Moreover, Thomas said, "Nationwide injunctions mean that each of the more than 600 federal district judges in the United States can freeze a law or regulation throughout the country — regardless of whether the other 599 disagree." As Ben Weingarten details in the Federalist, he's opening the door to more SCOTUS scrutiny of such injunctions, and a disarming of a regularly used tool of the Resistance. Mob Violence and Gun Ownership. The future votes of illegals who will someday attain amnesty is the singular objective of the present version of the Democratic Party. They have made clear that they will ignore MS-13, drug-trafficking, human-trafficking, rampant violence, and crime across the country by illegals, if that means that one day these future Democrats will control the outcomes of elections in every state the Democrats cannot presently rig, and will provide cheap labor for the Republicans who seem fine with never wielding political power again. Illegal Aliens: The New Black Vote for Democrats. First it was the hilariously viral YouTube sensations "Diamond & Silk" supporting Trump during his 2016 Presidential campaign. Then, it was Kanye West shocking the world with his vehement support of President Trump on TMZ Live, touting all the wonderful things that Trump has done for the Black community. Remember, this is the same guy who said back in 2005 during the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe that President Bush "doesn't care about Black people." He has now woken up to the Democrat scam and is making an effort to wake his fellow Blacks up to it. Then there was Candace Owens of Turning Point USA, who has been on an aggressive nationwide campaign exposing the Democratic Party for what it truly is — A communist, socialist, racist organization that has presided over the massive unemployment, massive genocide (via abortion), and massive economic slavery (in the form of family-destroying welfare programs) of poor Black minorities in the U.S. since the 1960s. Then finally, your average everyday grassroots Black voter has finally woken up to the 50-year Democratic scam. Marsha Blackburn says liberals, liberal judges to blame for US-Mexico border mess. U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn pointed the finger Tuesday [6/26/2018] at "liberals" and "liberal judges," blaming them for the family separations underway at the U.S.-Mexico border. "As a mother," the Tennessee Republican said in a statement released by her office, "my heart breaks for the families who are separated at the border, but we are in this position because liberals would not pay to enforce our immigration laws or build appropriate facilities for asylum-seekers." The 'Abolish ICE' Movement Is As Crazy As It Sounds. The 'Abolish ICE' movement is gaining steam. Activists are protesting in front of Immigration and Customs Enforcement buildings across the county. The Daily Caller's Stephanie Hamill and Henry Rodgers crashed the organized protest in Washington D.C. on Wednesday [6/27/2018] to find out why some are calling for the agency to [be] abolished. They left with more questions than answers. "America Uncensored" is a Daily Caller program dedicated to political stories dominating the news cycle. The DC's Stephanie Hamill is a straight shooter who isn't afraid to tell you what she thinks. 'False Compassion of Open Borders' Leads to Deaths in Texas County, Says Sheriff. A Texas sheriff tasked with recovering the bodies of illegal immigrants who die while being smuggled around a checkpoint 80 miles from the Mexican border says the "false compassion" of open borders is to blame. This year, his deputies recovered the decomposing bodies or skeletal remains of more than 30 who were left to die by their smugglers. "It is the false compassion of open borders that lead to the deaths of these illegal immigrants and other abuses we find out about," Brooks County Sheriff Benny Martinez told Breitbart Texas in a phone interview. The Chicago Model: Population Replacement and the Transformation of the USA. The roots of Obama's politics are to be found in the uni-party politics of Chicago. It has been the aim of the national Democratic Party to use Chicago as a model and then impose that political model on the United States. The Chicago model requires, first of all, population replacement. Population replacement leads to voter replacement and then cultural replacement. Once population replacement is accomplished, voting will eventually reach a point where it becomes irrelevant. After population replacement, any opposition party to the Democrats can never get enough votes to stop the fundamental transformation of the United States from a constitutional republic to a socialist democracy. Democrats will always have a guaranteed majority once population is replaced. Today, uncontrolled immigration and redefining citizenship are the keystone to unlocking that guaranteed majority. The Secret History of U.S. Border Separation Policy. Who truly is responsible for the 2,000 alien kids who, according to the Associated Press, recently have been separated from their detained illegal alien parents? There is a lot of blame to share. That includes President Bill Clinton and the alien parents themselves, as well as the courts and immigration policies foolishly created by the Obama administration. The perverse incentives in those policies have endangered the lives and safety of children and helped fund the deadly Mexican drug cartels that run the trafficking networks on our southern border. You would not know that based on the absurdly biased coverage and virulent protests that have occurred. The Trump administration is simply doing what it is constitutionally charged with doing — enforcing the law. Can we actually deport immigrants without a trial? The president took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution provides in relevant part that "no person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." This is the so-called Due Process Clause, and it essentially prevents all governments from impairing the life, liberty or property of any human being on American-controlled soil without a fair trial. Because the Supreme Court has ruled that there are no word choice errors in the Constitution and the words of its text mean what they say, the Framers must have carefully and intentionally chosen to protect every person, not just every citizen. "Person," in this context, has been interpreted to mean any human being on American-controlled soil against whom the American government is proceeding, irrespective of how the person got there. Dems' emerging litmus test: Support for abolishing agency that guards borders. Democratic lawmakers and candidates are increasingly seeking the elimination of Immigration and Customs Enforcement as part of their suite of demands in D.C.'s heated border battle. The calls reflect not only the deepening divide between the two partisan poles on immigration — with one side seeking a border wall, and the other looking to dismantle the lead enforcement agency — but the growing influence of the progressive wing. More and more Democratic politicians have embraced such causes as 'Medicare for all' and a federal jobs guarantee. Now, they're getting behind the call to abolish ICE, with gusto. SCOTUS on immigration restrictions: A sovereign republic — if you can keep it. Congress and the president have the full power to deny entry to any non-citizen or class of non-citizens seeking to enter this country for any reason — good or bad. Those decisions are exclusively up to the political branches of government, to be debated in the political realm, and there is no opening for the courts to get involved. This principle "has become about as firmly embedded in the legislative and judicial tissues of our body politic as any aspect of our government," not "merely" by "a page of history ... but a whole volume" (Galvan v. Press). The concept is "inherent in sovereignty," consistent with "ancient principles" of international law, and "to be exercised exclusively by the political branches of government." (Kleindienst v. Mandel). Barking mad and proud of it. Everybody in the Southern Hemisphere, having turned much of their half of the globe into a starving slum, is trying to make a getaway to the north. The man expected to be elected president of Mexico later this summer calls on "les miserables" of the south to migrate north to the United States, declaring it a "human right." "And soon, very soon — after the victory of our movement — we will defend all the migrants in the American continent and all the migrants in the world," said Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who is widely expected to be elected president of Mexico next week. Migrants of the south, he told an interviewer the other day, "must leave their towns and find a life in the United States." Mad Max and Nancy Pelosi: The twin faces of the Democratic Party. Trump won the election primarily on his immigration reform stance. Most Americans are profoundly cognizant of the irreparable damage done to their cities and small communities by the influx of illegal immigration over the last decades. We want it stopped. We love and respect our legal immigrants but are sinking under the weight of tens of thousands of illegal migrants. POLL: Black Americans Prefer Deportation Of Illegal Immigrants. It turns out that illegal immigration is not exactly a winning issue for Democrats among black voters, who overwhelmingly favor deportation over the failed "Catch and Release" policy that lets illegal immigrants roam free after being detained at the border in hopes they show up to a future court date. According to a CBS News/YouGov poll, a full 40% of black Americans feel that illegal immigrant families should be deported back to their country of origin. Compare that to just 20% of black Americans who believe that detained illegal immigrant families should be released while they await an asylum hearing, for which many do not return. Only 20% of white Americans agree with "Catch and Release." Due Process for Undocumented Immigrants, Explained. A 1996 statute permits immigration authorities to deport people without a hearing, a lawyer or a right of appeal under certain conditions, a process known as expedited removal. Under current policy, the Department of Homeland Security criteria for expedited removals apply to undocumented migrants found within 100 miles of the border and within 14 days of entering the country. The statute imposes no geographic limit and allows for expedited removals up to two years after a migrant has entered the country, raising the possibility that the Trump administration may use this power more aggressively. Democrats refuse to acknowledge safe borders are necessary. In politics, as in life, lucky is the person with clumsy and incompetent enemies. By that measure, President Trump is the luckiest man on Earth. As illustrated by the growing proof of FBI bias against him and the left's incoherent rage over his immigration policies, Trump's political enemies these days resemble the passenger list on a ship of fools. Consider the expanding revelations of FBI misconduct during the 2016 campaign, especially the text in which top agent Peter Strzok vows that "we'll stop" Trump from becoming president. 'Abolish ICE!' is the new rallying cry for progressive Democrats. Doing away with the immigration agency has become an issue left-wing insurgents can use to differentiate themselves from established party rivals in midterm primaries. How The Constitution Provides Sufficient Common Ground To Solve Immigration. In the midst of the recent media hysteria over immigration policy, it's important to consider that partisan politics loves to dwell in a constant state of controversy, because this encourages tribalism. Consider TIME's latest cover. It's a complete sham, intentionally misleading, and its obvious purpose is simply agenda-driven messaging to continue the hysteria. Much like two teams clashing on a sports field with the loyal fans' emotions stirred into a frenzy and the goal simply to dominate and win, this kind of politicking isn't framed toward reaching genuine solutions. If our aim is only to win, then we are measuring the success of our national policy merely by the margin of victory over the other party's ideas — regardless of whose ideas are actually better — rather than the substantive merit of our law and its consistency with our constitutional framework. Democratic insurgents want to 'abolish ICE.' Democrats aren't there yet. On Sunday morning [6/24/2018], CNN's Jake Tapper put the question to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.): Did the senator, a democratic socialist and 2016 presidential candidate, the most prominent left-wing politician in the country, want to abolish ICE? "I think what we need is to create policies which deal with immigration in a rational way," Sanders said, evading the topic of ICE itself. The stories of undocumented immigrant families being separated have unified Democrats, with dozens of party leaders and candidates fanning out to attack the Trump administration's border policy. But the abolition of ICE, which has become a defining issue in some Democratic primaries, has not broken through to the party's leading figures. A sane and moral approach to immigration. The latest fad du jour in the media is to brand President Trump a liar for trying to blame Democrats for the unholy mess along the U.S.-Mexico border. In supposedly straight news stories, the Washington Post, NPR and others simply termed Trump's claims "false." It's certainly the case that Trump's assertions and tweets were self-serving and incomplete, not to mention ungrammatical. There was a brazen quality to them, too, given that his Justice Department precipitated the recent crisis with its "zero tolerance" policy for Central Americans seeking refugee status in the U.S. But the president's broader point has merit: He considers separating children from their parents in detention facilities a small piece of a much larger problem, namely a broken immigration process that congressional Democrats have no interest in addressing. They like the current politics of the situation, Trump says, because it galvanizes Latino voters — and liberal whites — into supporting the Democratic Party and its candidates. Many Preaching Immigration Morality are Acting Unethically. Even Nancy Pelosi should know that government's first duty is to protect and defend America's existing families. Today, that means seriously checking, at the borders, all who may possibly be a member of MS-13, a jihadi terrorist, a criminal or drug dealer, or a carrier of infectious diseases, all of which have already threatened American families. We rely on the government to do this for us. Mr. Trump and Sessions are not "religious hypocrites," but men living up to their oath and doing their duty of keeping Americans safe. They are acting as those with responsibility. Kidtrina. [Scroll down] For those who might still think open borders is a great policy, many of whom previously and may still claim that we need zero population growth to sustain the planet, you might remind them that over fifty percent of the nation's immigrants are receiving some kind of welfare benefit. Ask them to show you a single country in the history of the world that long survived open borders and a generous social welfare policy. The E.U., under "Stuck on Stupid" Merkel's 2015 plan, has tried it, and it may well lead to the end of that grand experiment as members peel away under an unsustainable welfare burden and burgeoning crime. After Trump Signs Order Keeping Adults With Children, Democrats Demand Open Borders. Yesterday [6/20/2018] President Trump signed an executive order that allows adults with children to be detained together after crossing into the United States illegally. "We're signing an executive order. I consider it to be a very important executive order. It's about keeping families together while at the same time being sure that we have a very powerful, very strong border, and border security will be equal if not greater than previously," Trump said Monday afternoon at the White House, flanked by DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. "We're going to have strong, very strong borders, but we're going to keep the families together. I didn't like the sight or the feeling of families being separated." The move came after outrage over the separation and detention of adults from children as part of the administration's zero tolerance policy to prosecute all individuals who enter the country illegally. Adults were being held separately while awaiting a hearing before a judge. Let's stop managing this invasion and start blocking it. There is one data point that should immediately end the suicidal process of letting tens of thousands of dangerous people be released into our country: Roughly 80 percent of asylum applicants from Central America have been rejected outright in recent years by immigration judges, who are typically more liberal in their views. The number of applicants who truly fit the statutory description of an asylee is likely infinitesimal, and a very small percentage are ultimately approved. This means that by entertaining enormous number of asylum applications within our borders, where many applicants who ultimately will not be accepted are nevertheless released into the population, we are putting Americans at risk with social problems, fiscal drains, strains on the schools, drugs, and gangs, all for a small number of legitimate asylees. Nonprofit with La Raza ties reaped $1B housing immigrants, including kids separated from parents. As debate continues over the Trump administration's "zero-tolerance" immigration policy, questions are being asked about a non-profit group that has collected huge amounts of government money to house and care for thousands of immigrant children being held in the system. Texas-based Southwest Key Programs has taken in roughly $1 billion in federal contracts since the Obama administration, and is expected to receive about $500 million this year to house and provide services for immigrant children, according to reports. And Southwest officials receive significant compensation for their efforts. How Immigration Officials Cooked the Books and Fooled Congress for Years. A recent Justice Department report on U.S. immigration courts provides a rare glimpse into the difficulties faced by the Trump administration as it repairs the damages inflicted on these tribunals over the last 20 years. But give credit to the courts' new executive, James McHenry. Early on, he identified the need for transparency and has made accurate disclosure of court business one of his agency's highest priorities. Candor, if not reform, demands no less. It's a good start for an executive whose predecessors often avoided — and sometimes denied — the truth about the courts' troubling dynamics. Yet the courts limped along, their annual reports masking a systemic dysfunction never shared with Congress. While transparency won't cure the dysfunction, it should identify obvious areas for reform — among them failures to appear in court. Flashback: Obama Sued By Illegal Immigrant's Family For Wrongful Death In Detention Center. Amid a media-inflamed firestorm over President Trump's "zero tolerance" illegal immigration policy and an Obama-era Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that forces illegal immigrant parents to be temporarily separated from their children, several outlets have provided a number of unfortunate flashbacks to the Obama administration's jam-packed immigrant detention centers. On Wednesday [6/20/2018], the Drudge Report provided another one: The tragic case of Roberto Aguilar Batista, 38, whose family sued President Barack Obama and multiple federal agencies after Batista died from complications of diabetes while being held in one of the administration's ill-equipped detention centers. 'It's a Human Right': Mexican Presidential Candidate on Mass Exodus to America. Mexican presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) called for mass immigration to the United States during a speech Tuesday declaring it a "human right" for all North Americans. "And soon, very soon — after the victory of our movement — we will defend all the migrants in the American continent and all the migrants in the world," Obrador said, adding that immigrants "must leave their towns and find a life in the United States." He then declared it as "a human right we will defend," eluniversal.com reports. The man likely to be the next president of Mexico just called for mass migration to the US. To be sure, AMLO [Andrés Manuel López Obrador] is only saying out loud what every other Mexican president believed in his heart; that America is Mexico's "social safety net" and that it's up to the US taxpayer to take care of Mexico's unemployable, destitute millions. Unsaid by AMLO is the implication of a mass migration of Mexicans to the US. The not-so-secret dream of every Mexican government that illegals flooding into America will eventually allow for a "return" of California and much of the American southwest to Mexico. What makes this socialist different, however, is his novel argument that entering the US illegally is actually a "human right." Illegal Immigration and Lax Border Controls are The Epicenter of The UniParty. CTH has tracked this issue so closely through the years it often feels futile for another reminder. However, with the insufferable political games surfacing, yet again, over the issue of illegal immigrants and children — perhaps it is worth another visit. Massive illegal immigration is supported by both sides of the professional political machine. There are few issues more unifying for the K-Street purchased voices of DC politicians than keeping the borders open and the influx of illegal aliens as high as possible. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce pays politicians to keep this system in place. Progressive Author Admits She Wants U.S. Borders To Be Like Open European Borders. On Tuesday's episode of "Outnumbered" On Fox News, Pete Hegseth asked author Cathy Areu to tell him what the "most hated item" among progressives is regarding immigration policy. During the exchange between Hegseth, Areu, and Townhall's Katie Pavlich, Areu admitted that she would like United States border policy to mirror that of Europe's. Democrats' Border Separation Bill Would Let Nearly All Parents Who Commit Federal Crimes Get Off Scot-Free. Democrats' proposed legislation to prohibit so-called border separations would actually prevent federal law enforcement agencies almost anywhere inside the United States from arresting and detaining criminals who are parents having nothing to do with unlawfully crossing the border and seeking asylum. Every Senate Democrat has now signed on to cosponsor a bill written so carelessly that it does not distinguish between migrant children at the border and U.S. citizen children already within the United States. The bill further does not distinguish between federal officers handling the border crisis and federal law enforcement pursuing the ordinary course of their duties. The Big Immigration Charade. If you sought to preserve the violent, reactionary and undemocratic regimes of countries like El Salvador and Honduras — and, to a great extent, Mexico — into perpetuity, how would you do it? One way would be by providing a permanent U.S. safety valve for all their poor and downtrodden, the victims. Just as with Europe and the Middle East, open borders can salve the soul and make us all feel good about ourselves, but they come with a price. And that price is not just for the richer host countries in supplying costly services. It is even greater for the countries of origin whose benighted citizens, the stay behinds, are left to suffer under governments that are incompetent, corrupt and often murderous. Lindsey Graham stands behind Homeland Security chief on Mexico border separation policy. South Carolina's two Republican U.S. senators have staked out their views on the Trump administration's handling of the child and family crisis on the Mexican border. U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham said Tuesday [6/19/2018] he stands behind Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen amid growing controversy over separating migrant children from their parents. U.S. Sen. Tim Scott said he disagrees with the practice now in place. Trump: Dems want illegal immigrants to 'infest our country'. President Trump on Tuesday restated his support for his administration's policy of separating migrant families at the U.S. border, calling Democrats "the problem." "We must always arrest people coming into our Country illegally. Of the 12,000 children, 10,000 are being sent by their parents on a very dangerous trip, and only 2000 are with their parents, many of whom have tried to enter our Country illegally on numerous occasions," he wrote on Twitter. Sources: Illegals Increasingly Use Other People's Children To Claim Asylum. Illegal immigrants are increasingly posing with children who are not their own in order to try to gain expedited entry to the U.S., multiple sources tell The Daily Caller. A law enforcement source directly involved in apprehension told The Daily Caller officers are increasingly encountering "family units" of adult males with children of various ages. When law enforcement attempts to debrief the adult males with children, they often cannot answer even the most basic questions about their supposed children. The children also rarely appear to know details of their apparent "fathers." The left is starting to jump the shark on its child migrant 'crisis'. For the left, it's finally springtime. After months in the political wilderness, followed by the crushed hopes for the great blue wave, leftists are finally getting a grip on an issue they can pin on President Trump: family separations among detained illegal border-crossers. They're going wild with this issue, and the press is running stories about it nonstop, complete with crying children to tug at the heartstrings. But there are signs it's getting to be too much for them, driving them to overplay their hand. The child migrant crisis they have drummed up, with media cameras shamelessly exploiting the faces of crying children (they blank out unconsenting children's faces otherwise) separated from their parents, at first glance seems to be the magic bullet they've been looking for. Remittances: Illegal Immigration's $30 Billion 'Hidden Tax'. [Scroll down] Redistribution is bad, elimination is worse. Therein lies one of illegal immigration's biggest, yet routinely ignored, problems: illegal aliens hop the border, work (often without paying taxes), and send a large chunk of their earnings back home via remittances. Basically, remittances are a hidden tax Americans pay for the privilege of hiring artificially cheap illegal labor — and it adds up. In fact, illegal immigrants may remit around $30 billion annually. To be clear, it's impossible to know exactly how much money illegal immigrants remit annually. There are three reasons for this. First, we don't know how many illegal immigrants actually reside in America. Second, the term remittance itself is ambiguous: should we include money stuffed in a birthday card in our calculations? Third, we cannot track the location of every dollar even if we wanted to (if we could, black markets wouldn't exist). Donald Trump: Democrats Want More Illegal Immigrants as 'Potential Voters'. President Donald Trump again criticized Democrats Tuesday of allowing the crisis at the Southern border, accusing them of wanting to increase levels of illegal immigration for political reasons. "Democrats are the problem," Trump wrote on Twitter. "They can't win on their terrible policies, so they view them as potential voters!" Trump again cited crime numbers in Germany, saying that the rates were up 10 percent since accepting a large influx of migrants into their populations. Our Debate On Illegal Immigration Is A National Disaster. When emotionalism meets scaremongering, it's difficult to have a useful debate about anything. Yet for immigration, those seem to be the two choices. The Trump administration has adopted a "zero tolerance" policy requiring law enforcement to prosecute illegal immigrants. Yes, the policy comports with the letter of the law. Yes, the Obama administration engaged in a similar policy on a smaller scale — and yes, the media covered it very differently. But, no, President Trump doesn't "have to" temporarily break up families. He chooses to do so, claiming, among other things, that it is a necessity in stopping gang violence. Trump officials' inability to deal with the mess they created incompetently implementing their policy, and the public relations disaster resulting from that ineptitude, is on the administration, and no one else. Trump says he won't allow US to become a 'migrant camp'. President Donald Trump defended his strict immigration policy that is resulting in the separation of children from their parents at the border, declaring that he won't allow the United States to become a "migrant camp." "The United States will not be a migrant camp, and it will not be a refugee holding facility," he said during a meeting of the National Space Council at the White House on Monday [6/18/2018]. "You look at what's happening in Europe and other places, we can't allow that to happen to the United States. Not on my watch." Martin Luther King Jr.'s Own Speechwriter Claims He'd Vehemently Opposed Illegal Immigration. Today, we're going to look at what MLK may have said about illegal immigration to hopefully resolve this squabble. And what better person for that than Clarence B. Jones, a former lawyer, close advisor, and speechwriter for the civil rights icon? Here are some top quotes about illegal immigration from Jones book, 'What Would Martin Say,' regarding what he thinks MLK would have to say about the matter of illegal immigration. 7 Truths Liberals Will Never Acknowledge About Illegal Immigration. [#1] Any sort of legalization or amnesty encourages more illegal aliens to come here. During the Reagan administration, we had a "one-time" amnesty that featured promises of security in return for three million illegals getting to become citizens. Today, most estimates seem to put the number of illegals in the United States somewhere between 11-12.5 million. In other words, seeing that we weren't serious about enforcing our immigration laws led to more illegals than ever coming here in hopes of getting amnesty. If this amnesty goes through, we can expect to see the exact same problem repeated in a few decades. 'Separating babies from their mothers is immoral': Catholic leaders denounce Trump's zero-tolerance border protection policy. Leaders of the Catholic church are criticizing the Trump administration over its border protection policy, saying that separating mothers who illegally come into the US from their children is 'immoral'. Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, the president of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, called out president Donald Trump and his 'zero-tolerance' policy on Wednesday [6/13/2018] during the the group's spring conference. U.S. launches office looking for Americans who cheated to get their citizenship. The U.S. government agency that oversees immigration applications is launching an office that will focus on identifying Americans who are suspected of cheating to get their citizenship and seek to strip them of it. Canada: You illegal aliens need to stop breaching our border. Canada was busy welcoming leaders from around the world to the G-7 summit this weekend and, aside from the United States president, everyone seemed to receive the standard, polite greeting from their Canadian hosts. But there are some other foreigners who aren't getting such a warm reception anymore. Those would be the illegal aliens pouring over the border into the Great White North now that U.S. immigration forces have been cracking down. Despite Canada's legendary niceness and previous offer to take in the huddled masses fleeing from President Trump, that attitude is quickly changing. Sessions: Victims of domestic abuse and gang violence generally won't qualify for asylum. Attorney General Jeff Sessions signaled Monday that victims of domestic abuse and gang violence generally will not qualify for asylum under federal law, a decision that advocates say will affect tens of thousands of foreign nationals seeking safe harbor in the United States. Sessions' ruling overturned a 2016 decision by the Justice Department's Board of Immigration Appeals that said a abused woman from El Salvador was eligible for asylum under federal law. The administrative appeals court is normally the highest authority in the issue, but the attorney general has the power to assign cases to himself and set precedents. White Americans, Swing Voters in Battleground Districts: Immigration Has Made Life 'Worse'. The majority of white Americans and swing voters in 2018 swing districts say that change has made life "worse" in the U.S. In the latest CBS News/YouGov poll, nearly 60 percent of white likely voters who see changes in their neighborhood from mass immigration said that immigration made their community "worse." Only 15 percent of these voters said immigration has made American life "better." These likely voters live in swing districts which could be swayed towards either the Republicans or Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections. Pelosi's Remarks On The Economy Aren't Grounded In Reality. [Democrats are] now fighting the same losing battles with Trump, like defending trashing the American flag and the national anthem, with the most recent giving cover to MS-13 gang members as folks... who aren't so bad. Sorry, no — they're garbage human beings who are thugs, rapists, and murderers, devoid of any humanity. They deserve to be treated as such. Lock 'em up and throw away the key. Dehumanization of a cancerous and dangerous criminal element in our society is not a bad thing; it's a necessity. An Army Base Ordered Pizza. Then Guards Called ICE on the Delivery Man. An Ecuadorean restaurant worker making a delivery to an Army garrison in Brooklyn wound up being detained June 1 after a routine background check at the gate revealed there was a warrant for his arrest for immigration law violations, officials said. The Editor says... U.S. Chamber of Commerce demands amnesty for 1 million migrants. The country's largest business lobby pleaded with Congress this week to grant legal status to a million illegal immigrants, saying the job market is so hot that the country couldn't stomach losing them if they are asked to leave. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce also rejected proposals to cut future immigration levels, saying they "would be devastating to our economy." Neil L. Bradley, a longtime GOP staffer on Capitol Hill who is now executive vice president at the chamber, sent a letter to lawmakers who have kick-started a new debate in the House on broad immigration reforms. The lawless, porn-respecting, MS-13-loving, humorless American left. [The Democrats] defend aliens' illegal entry into the United States and give them sanctuary even after they have committed violent crimes that have taken the lives of innocent American citizens. [...] As for Nancy Pelosi's defense of the "spark of divinity" within the members of MS-13, those drug-dealing, sex-trafficking, machete-wielding murderers, she was not alone among her tribe of Democrats. There is no miscreant, no matter how vile and murderous, whom they will decline to vindicate, to endorse. They encourage them to come here and welcome them when they get here. They are much more protective of them than they are the native-born and legal immigrants on whom they prey. They plan to see to it that they all vote — for Democrats, of course. For their votes, they will be provided health care, food stamps, welfare... full subsidization on the American taxpayer's dime in sanctuary cities, where they are free to deal their drugs and terrorize their fellow immigrants who are scared to death of them. That pretty much sums up the Democratic Party today. U.S. sending 1,600 immigration detainees to federal prisons. U.S. authorities are transferring into federal prisons about 1,600 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainees, officials told Reuters on Thursday [6/7/2018], in the first large-scale use of federal prisons to hold detainees amid a Trump administration crackdown on people entering the country illegally. Steve King Sounds Alarm: The Establishment is Stampeding GOP Towards Amnesty Cliff. The House GOP leadership will push a new amnesty bill today that does not set upper limits on an amnesty or even cut migration levels but which does exclude reforms found in Rep. Bob Goodlatte's immigration reform bill, sources tell Breitbart News. In November, if House Speaker Paul Ryan gets his way, most GOP legislators "will be on record in support of amnesty," Iowa Rep. Steve King told Breitbart News. "It is not going to help us in November" if there is a vote in the House on amnesty, King said. Interior Secy. Zinke orders park police and rangers to Mexico border. Calling the border with Mexico an "environmental disaster," Interior Secy. Ryan Zinke has ordered both U.S. park rangers and park police to Arizona and New Mexico to help stop the movement of illegal immigrants into the country. He said two parks on the border — Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument in Arizona and Amistad National Recreation Area in Texas — have become strewn with garbage and needles. House Republicans Are Scrambling As November Approaches. Our flawed immigration system is one of the most pressing problems facing our nation today. The flood of illegals continuing to pour across our borders poses threats to our national security and brings an epidemic of crime, drugs, disease and countless other problems while border agencies are limited in their response. Then-candidate Trump promised to build a wall to thwart illegal immigration and demanded legislative action to stem the flood of illegals. House Speaker Paul Ryan and fellow leftwing Republicans, along with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have done nothing. Border Patrol union president: Trump putting troops on border is a 'colossal waste of resources'. The president of the labor union representing Border Patrol agents criticized President Trump's move to deploy the National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border, calling it a "colossal waste of resources." Brandon Judd, the president of the National Border Patrol Council, said the union has "seen no benefit" from the deployment of about 1,600 troops so far, according to the Los Angeles Times on Thursday. Judd said he originally supported the move because past deployments have been helpful to the Border Patrol, but that this time, "that has not happened at all." "When I found out the National Guard was going to be on the border, I was extremely excited," he said. National Guard deployment led to 4,116 apprehensions, not a 'colossal waste of resources'. Department of Homeland Security officials lambasted the president of a Border Patrol union for calling President Trump's border deployment of the National Guard a "colossal waste of resources." As of Friday, National Guard troops assisted U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers and Border Patrol agents in apprehending 4,116 illegal immigrants, turning back 1,182 people, and seizing 3,486 pounds of marijuana since April 15, according to new DHS data first obtained by the Washington Examiner. Yet National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd, who originally supported Trump's April 4 executive order, said Friday [5/25/2018] he has "seen no benefit" to the project. DHS to cancel Obama-era foreign investor immigration program. The Trump administration moved Friday to officially revoke an Obama-era program designed to entice foreign entrepreneurs to move to the U.S. to invest their cash in businesses here, saying the previous administration overstepped its powers. The revocation, if it becomes final, would be yet another blow to President Obama's attempts to rewrite the immigration system by executive fiat — a policy that also included the DACA deportation amnesty for illegal immigrant "Dreamers," a broader prohibition on deportations of most illegal immigrants, and new programs to allow more people to enter legally. Environmental red tape stalls border agents trying to fill drug-smuggler tunnels. Environmental red tape is causing "long delays" for border agents as they try to fill tunnels used to smuggle people and dangerous drugs into the U.S. from Mexico, according to border officials and Republican lawmakers who have discussed the problem with agents. Frustrated agents complain the lengthy federal review process can stall critical tunnel-plugging efforts for months after passageways are first discovered. The tunnels are being used to move people, illegal drugs and even fake pharmaceuticals. But regulations stemming from laws like the Endangered Species Act, the National Environmental Policy Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act are putting "remediation" on hold. Trump to cut foreign aid for home countries of illegal immigrants. President Trump announced Wednesday [5/23/2018] that the U.S. will begin to deduct foreign aid from countries whose residents illegally enter the United States. "Many of these countries we give tremendous amounts of aid to. Tens of millions of dollars. And we're working on a plan to deduct a lot of the aid," Trump said at an event in New York denouncing the Salvadoran gang MS-13. "We're going to work out something where every time someone comes in from a certain country, we're going to deduct a rather large amount of money from what we give them in aid, if we give them aid at all," Trump said. "We may just not give them aid at all." Trump's Immigration Crackdown Opening Construction Jobs for Women. President Trump's tightened labor market through increased enforcement of immigration is forcing home builders to recruit American women, rather than relying on cheap, illegal alien workers. A new report by MarketWatch reveals how the tightened labor market is securing construction jobs and opportunities for women who would otherwise have been passed on in favor of cheaper foreign laborers. Greensboro, NC fire that killed 5 children exposes more concerns with US refugee program. Did you hear the news about the five children from the DR Congo who died in an apartment fire in Greensboro, North Carolina just over a week ago? Probably not because stories showing the unhappy side of refugee resettlement are rarely seen outside the immediate locale. U.S. Imported More than 10M Immigrants in Last Decade, Exceeding the Population of NYC. Since 2008, the U.S. has admitted and permanently resettled close to 10.8 million legal immigrants, a foreign population that exceeds the entire population of New York City, New York — where more than 8 million residents live. Of those roughly 10.8 million legal immigrants resettled across the U.S., the majority derives from the process known as "chain migration," where newly naturalized citizens are allowed to bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country. Outside the Defensible Perimeter. Five years ago, my husband and I bought a house in the emptiest county in America. [...] If you climb the mountains behind our house and look south, you look into Mexico. If you climb those mountains to the top, you are on one of the major drug trafficking routes into America. If you stay in the desert at the foot of the mountains, you are in rattlesnake country — the greatest biodiversity of rattlers in America, and the night path of illegal aliens. It is not even a secret that the 60 miles between the border and Interstate 10 are treated as a no man's land. We live and vote and pay taxes in America, but the government acts as if we are beyond the defensible perimeter of the country. Jeff Sessions ends Obama-era 'de facto' court amnesty for illegal immigrants. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a directive to immigration judges Thursday [5/17/2018] telling them they can no longer shunt deportation cases off onto permanent wait lists and leave illegal immigrants free to roam the U.S. Known as administrative closure, the wait list had become a favorite tactic of the Obama administration, serving to protect low-priority illegal immigrants from deportation. Rather than pursue those cases, government attorneys would propose — and judges would grant — administrative closure by shipping more than 200,000 cases to the suspension list in what analysts said became a de facto amnesty. Arizona Border Ranchers Live in fear as Illegal Immigration Worsens. More than half a million illegal immigrants of several dozen nationalities have been apprehended on John Ladd's sprawling cattle ranch in southeastern Arizona. Ladd has also found 14 dead bodies on his 16,500-acre farm, which has been in his family for well over a century and sits between the Mexican border and historic State Route 92. The property shares a 10½-mile border with Mexico, making it a popular route for human and drug smugglers evading a meager force of Border Patrol agents in the mountainous region. "As big as that number sounds, many more got away," said National Border Patrol Council President Brandon Judd of the hundreds of thousands arrested on Ladd's parcel. Judd spent a chunk of his decades-long career with the agency patrolling the area and he knows it well. "It's gotten more violent. It's gotten worse." U.S. Resettling More Refugees Than the Population of Philadelphia. From Fiscal Year 2008 to Fiscal Year 2017, the United States gave Lawful Permanent Resident status to 1,761,927 on humanitarian grounds, which is larger than the population of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, according to a press release from the White House. The White House mentioned on Thursday [5/17/2018] the variety of programs and laws that provide for the refugees to gain such status in the United States. The Left Can't Handle The Truth On Illegal Immigration. During an interview with John Burnett of NPR, White House chief of staff John Kelly said the following about illegal immigrants: ["]The vast majority of the people that move illegally into the United States are not bad people. They're not criminals. They're not MS-13. Some of them are not. But they're also not people that would easily assimilate into the United States into our modern society. They're overwhelmingly rural people in the countries they come from — fourth, fifth, sixth grade educations are kind of the norm. They don't speak English, obviously that's a big thing. They don't speak English. They don't integrate well, they don't have skills. They're not bad people. They're coming here for a reason. And I sympathize with the reason. But the laws are the laws. But a big name of the game is deterrence.["] Leftist outlets immediately labeled these comments racist. But factually supported statements about the educational attainment, language skill, and success assimilating of illegal immigrants do not indicate racism. Local authorities struggle with ICE over bringing detainees to court. Some immigrants living in the country illegally and accused of crimes sit in legal limbo, caught in a tug of a war between local prosecutors and federal immigration authorities who won't let them appear in court because they fear being denied the opportunity to deport them. John Kelly: Illegal immigrants don't have skills, can't 'integrate' well into modern US society. White House chief of staff John Kelly said in an interview set to air Saturday that the majority of people who enter the U.S. illegally do not "assimilate" easily into modern American society. "The vast majority of the people that move illegally into the United States are not bad people ... but they're also not people that would easily assimilate into the United States into our modern society," Kelly told NPR. WH Chief of Staff John Kelly, asked about separating migrant families at the border, tells @NPR, "They don't integrate well. They don't have skills." Liberals Upset That License Plate Readers Are Used To Find Illegal Aliens. The battle of public safety and law enforcement versus privacy concerns isn't going away any time soon. Much of the debate these days revolves around increasingly affordable and available technology allowing the use of publicly mounted (or drone-based) cameras which can record both automobile license plate numbers and even human faces. Scanners and facial recognition software can interpret this data and assist law enforcement agencies in locating suspects more quickly and accurately. But this has some people highly upset. U.S. cements plans to separate families crossing border illegally. The Trump administration will increase criminal prosecutions of parents entering the United States illegally and place their children in protective custody, stepping up efforts to tighten immigration enforcement, U.S. officials said on Monday [5/7/2018]. Wedding bells for Illegal immigrants at U.S. courthouse. The Moakley federal courthouse is being turned into a wedding chapel for illegal immigrant criminals desperately trying to avoid deportation from the promised land of EBT cards, Section 8 housing, Mass Health cards and Obamaphones. Last week in a U.S. District courtroom, an illegal immigrant unlicensed alleged drunk driver was married to his "fiancee," who happens to be the mother of his 21-month-old anchor baby in, where else, Chelsea. 'A Circus at the Border': Malkin Rips 'Questionable' Asylum Claims From Migrant Caravan. CRTV host Michelle Malkin ripped what she called "questionable" asylum claims by immigrants within the caravan that arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border last week. The final group of migrants that arrived in Tijuana, Mexico, has crossed into California. "This was a concerted effort to make a circus at the border," Malkin said on "Fox & Friends." Malkin explained that most of the migrants traveling in the caravan were offered asylum in Mexico but refused. Trump to send 57,000 Honduran TPS recipients back home. The Trump administration will require 57,000 Honduran people to return to their home country, after having lived in the U.S. with protected status since a 1999 hurricane, according to a report Friday morning. The administration will give Hondurans 12 to 18 months to return home, according to McClatchy. Hondurans are the second-largest national group of people who benefit from TPS. A DHS spokesperson told the Washington Examiner that Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen "has not yet made a decision." But a decision is due by July 6 and the government has yet to formally announce the reported policy change. Pro-Amnesty Chamber of Commerce Spending $300K Against 'America First' Christina Hagan in Ohio Race. The pro-amnesty for illegal aliens U.S. Chamber of Commerce is spending $300,000 in Ohio's 16th Congressional District race against populist conservative State Rep. Christina Hagan, who has committed to supporting President Trump's "America First" agenda on immigration, trade, and foreign policy. Hagan — endorsed by the National Rifle Association (NRA), "Women For Trump," and the anti-establishment House Freedom Caucus — is facing a tight race against Anthony Gonzalez, a former San Francisco resident who is raking in the cash from the Republican establishment, as well as the pro-amnesty Chamber of Commerce. Top judge: Backlog of illegal immigration court cases over 1 million, delayed deportations 684,000. The backlog of court cases addressing the status of illegal immigrant's has reached over one million, prompting Justice and immigration courts to step up efforts to hire more judges, digitize old paper systems and speed up court proceedings. James McHenry, the director of the Executive Office for Immigration Review, which handles immigration cases, said Tuesday [5/1/2018] that the backlog of active cases is over 692,000 and that the courts have an additional 330,000 cases that have been put into "administrative closure," but that are still before the courts. Cuomo Threatens Suit Against the Feds On Immigration Battle. Governor Cuomo of New York is threatening to sue the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to stop its ongoing raids to detain illegal immigrants wanted for serious crimes like assault and rape. A staggering 80% of those apprehended in recent ICE raids in New York were either convicted criminals or charged with crimes. But Mr. Cuomo is siding with criminals over their victims. He's playing politics. Faced with a challenge on his left flank from Cynthia Nixon, he's desperate to prove his liberal bona fides. Central American 'caravan' women and children enter U.S., defying Trump. Eight women and children from a caravan of hundreds of Central American migrants have sought asylum in the United States after officials allowed them entry from Mexico, fueling hope among their companions who remain camped outside the border crossing. DOJ charges 11 possible caravan members with illegally entering the US. The Department of Justice on Monday filed complaints against 11 individuals believed to be members of the Central American migrant caravan, accusing them of illegally entering the United States. After a month-long journey by bus, train and on foot, about 100 migrants arrived at the San Ysidro port of entry on the US-Mexico border on Sunday evening, preparing to claim asylum. Twenty to 30 migrants spent Sunday night in front of the turnstiles leading to the US side of the San Ysidro port of entry in Tijuana, Mexico. An organizer of the caravan said they would remain at the immigration processing center until "every last one is admitted into the United States." Caravan arrives, Honduran flags flying, middle fingers flashing. After a big buildup, the migrant caravan full of Central America's finest has finally arrived, and as screengrabs from local television broadcasts show, they gave America the bird. Seriously. Buried in a News 8 broadcast from San Diego was footage of illegal migrants and their supporters on the U.S. side breaching the U.S. fence on the border, waving a big Honduran flag, victory-style, and whipping out a big middle finger at America. Illegals Say They Will Overwhelm Our System, Destroy Our Borders. Hundreds of leftists are on both sides of the border supporting the soon-to-be illegal aliens who are climbing the fence dividing Tijuana, Mexico from Friendship, California. Lines of leftists are also on the U.S. side, waiting to greet them. So far, it is more of a stunt promoting the foreigners who are lying and gaming the system to get into the U.S. seeking jobs or welfare or both. Many of the jobs they do get hired for are off the books so they don't pay taxes, get welfare, and they send the money they make back to their home countries. There are whole towns being supported by Mexicans working illegally in the U.S. These illegal foreigners are people who violate our laws. This is what many politicians want for our country. Chaos Erupts As "Caravan" Of Illegals Scales US Border Fence, Cheering "Gracias Mexico". Scores of migrants gathered at the U.S. border began scaling the San Diego "wall" while shouting "Gracias, México!" presumably to thank the Mexican government for allowing them to travel from Central America to the U.S. border in the hopes of obtaining asylum from the Trump administration. [Video clip] U.S. Border Officers Limit Caravan Asylum Requests. United States border officers are limiting asylum applications from the Honduran migrant caravan to a few dozen people per day, so helping avoid a rush of migrants that would trigger "catch and release" policies. U.S. Officials Vow Tough Response If 'Caravan' Migrants Overrun Border. More migrants from the caravan gathering on the Mexican side of the southern border are now planning a mass-application for asylum. Hundreds of migrants gathered at border checkpoints in the Mexican border city of Tijuana Sunday [4/29/2018]. US: Border Crossing at Capacity, Migrant Caravan Must Wait. Less than 200 Central Americans, part of a caravan of asylum seekers that traveled through Mexico to the border with San Diego, left a cross-border rally Sunday afternoon [4/29/2018], prepared to turn themselves in to U.S. authorities. Report: Mexican Police Escort 'Migrant Caravan' to Border for Crossing Attempt. Mexican police officers reportedly escorted the remnants of the once 1,200-person "migrant caravan" from shelters in Tijuana, Mexico, to the San Ysidro, California, port of entry. Hundreds of mostly Central American migrants plan to cross the border within the next few hours while others contemplate staying in Mexico. Some have already illegally crossed the border into southern California. Mexican police officers could be seen in a CBS News video escorting buses of Central American migrants from the shelters where they spent the past few days to the country's northern border with California. How to tell Democrat politicians are racist #5: Immigration. For a long time Black unemployment has been much higher than white unemployment especially for teens and young adults. While this is in part due to the poor education that Democrats ensure Blacks get it's hard to believe that it isn't also due in part to the massive influx of low skilled illegal immigrants who compete with Blacks for jobs. Because illegals are paid under the table they're a lot cheaper than Black Americans. Yet Democrats keep supporting massive illegal immigration. Human caravan of 600 people arrives at the US border. Members of the human caravan that has traveled through Mexico to the American border have started climbing the 18-foot high fence that separates the two countries as they prepare to turn themselves over to US authorities to seek asylum. More than a dozen asylum seekers climbed the fence separating San Diego and Tijuana under the watchful eyes of US Border Patrol agents on Sunday [4/29/2018] as people rallied on both sides. Hundreds of Central American migrants arrived at the US border on Sunday packed into five old school buses to rally before a planned mass attempt to apply for asylum in America. Here They Come! Thousands of Illegal Aliens And We Can't Stop Them. As thousands of illegal aliens prepare to enter the USA illegally, free lawyers tell them how they can manipulate the system and our laws. It's a free-for-all as economic migrants, prepared to take advantage of our freebies and jobs are calling themselves refugees. This is not simply one caravan. There are thousands of illegal aliens coming into our country shortly and we can't do a thing about it. This goes on constantly. Congress will do nothing. How Will Mass 'Migrant' Crossing Not Be an Unprovoked Foreign Attack? "Migrant 'caravan' at U.S.-Mexico border prepares for mass crossing," Reuters reported Thursday. "Hundreds of Central American migrants from a caravan that crossed Mexico reunited in Tijuana on Wednesday and planned to cross the border together this weekend in defiance of threats by U.S. President Donald Trump to repel them." If allowed to happen, the criminal invasion — and ultimately that's what it is — will be a direct result of a chain of circumstances aided and abetted by the Mexican government in violation of its own laws. Mexican law requires foreign nationals be in their country legally and that their presence be beneficial. It is a criminal offense there to aid and abet illegal immigration. $46,654: Annual Cost of Detaining Illegal Alien Exceeds Average American Income. The federal government paid a "bed rate" of $127.82 per day to house each illegal alien detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in fiscal 2016, according to ICE data published in a new report by the Government Accountability Office. Even if you do not count the extra day in that leap year, that works out to $46,654.30 for each detention bed occupied by an illegal alien for 365 days. The approximately $46,654 it cost to house a detained illegal alien for 365 days in fiscal 2016 was approximately $104 more than the average income for Americans 15 and older that year — which, according to Census Bureau Table PINC-01, was $46,550. WashPost: All 'Caravan' Border Jumpers May Face Jail. The Washington Post is warning all migrants in the Honduran "caravan" that they may be criminally prosecuted for trying to evade border guards this weekend, even if they bring children with them for legal cover. The threat came in a Thursday evening [4/26/2018] report on the contents of a leaked policy memo sent to Homeland security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. Ingraham: Activist Attys Holding 'Seminars' for Honduran Caravan to 'Game Immigration Law'. Laura Ingraham said that while President Donald Trump is sending additional ICE attorneys and other resources to combat a possible stream of asylum-seekers from a Honduran caravan transiting through Mexico, American lawyers are holding "seminars" to help those folks potentially fight the government in court. Ingraham said the caravan initially numbered at about 1,000, while 600 remain now and 100 have made it to the border. She said that activist lawyers are trying to help the caravan members successfully claim asylum and enter the United States. [Video clip]  What America Can Learn from Japan's Immigration System. [T]he United States is feeling the effects of decades of illegal immigration, a lax legal immigration system (per the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965) and acceptance of large numbers of refugees. As a result, America faces an unprecedented level of ethno-religious and cultural tension that is compounded by economic pressures. The advent of artificial intelligence and robotics also plays a large role in replacing millions of jobs in low-skill, tertiary sector employment — which would negate the need for low-skilled, uneducated labor from so-called "developing" countries. All of this points to the need for a more restrictive immigration system that puts our citizens and their needs before taking in more people from around the world. Katy Perry Calls for Open Borders, Gets Stalker Deported. Do as I say, not as I do. This is the motto of every Hollywood, media, and government elitist. Katy Perry is no different. She has called for open borders on several occasions. [...] But early this year, Perry up some barriers of her own after a crazed fan rushed the stage at one of her concerts. A Polish immigrant who was obsessed with the pop star, and had stalked her and attended at least six of her shows in a row, was arrested, charged with several crimes, and deported from the U.S. ICE arrests 60 in N.J. in 5-day enforcement sweep. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 60 people last week in a sweep through New Jersey. It was the latest in a series of similar operations both here and nationwide, targeting those illegally present in the country. Officials said those arrested included individuals charged with driving under the influence, domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse. According to ICE, more than 20 had been issued a final order of removal and failed to depart the United States, or had been previously removed from this country and had returned illegally. Trump tells border officials to block migrant caravans from entering US. President Trump announced Monday he has directed the Department of Homeland Security to block large groups of migrants who have begun to arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border and apply for asylum as refugees from Central America. Most Californians back more deportations; nearly half support travel ban, survey finds. An overwhelming majority of Californians want to deport more illegal immigrants, and nearly half support President Trump's travel ban aimed at reducing terrorism, according to a new survey from the University of California at Berkeley's Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society. But in reporting the findings of the statewide December 2017 survey, the Haas Institute on Wednesday [4/18/2018] appeared to put a liberal spin on some of the results. For example, the headline of its news release reads, "Majority of Californians oppose border wall, support racial inclusion." The Courts Rule Supreme Over Immigration Policy. President Trump's Supreme Court appointee Neil Gorsuch sided with his liberal colleagues Tuesday [4/17/2018] in making it harder to deport non-citizen criminals. Surprisingly, Gorsuch's divergence from fellow conservative justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito was enthusiastically received by conservatives. "I'm actually reading Gorsuch's concurrence and find myself nodding along with him," talk radio host Erick Erickson tweeted. "His basic argument is that the law, as construed, gives judges way too much discretion to act on their whims because Congress was too vague in how it wrote the law." "No, the opinion is actually highly conservative — and it has nothing to do with immigration as such," pro-Trump columnist Kurt Schlichter argued in response to criticism of Gorsuch's decision. A California Reader Warns That A "Speaker Kevin McCarthy" Will Be Wholly Owned By The Cheap Labor Lobby. There are rumors that Kevin McCarthy is going to replace Ryan as Speaker. [Paul Ryan endorses Kevin McCarthy to be next House speaker, By Matt Richardson, Fox News, April 13, 2018] It's horrible news for Americans if he is — McCarthy's district includes Paramount Farms, probably the largest employer of illegal aliens in the nation, they've imported so many migrant farm workers they've turned Bakersfield from a white American city into a brown Socialist Latino city. McCarthy can't enforce federal immigration law and stay in office, Paramount Farms was also used in the Reagan amnesty, pretty much any illegal alien in the nation claimed a work record there and there was no verification. Obama-Era Judge Sides With Illegal Immigrant Who Sued Company For Discrimination. Illegal immigrants have long had issues with gaining legal employment. Illegal immigrants in the U.S.A. tend to work under-the-table jobs, jobs that pay them in cash. Those jobs are generally less regulated and also pay less, sometimes even below minimum wage. However, because ILLEGAL immigrants are, by definition, illegally in the country, they often cannot get employment. After all, governments at both the federal and state level penalize illegal immigrant employees, and they even raid businesses suspected of hiring illegals. But now, for the second time in a handful of years, a federal court has proclaimed that businesses can be sued for 'discriminating against illegal immigrants' by refusing to hire them. Court Rules Illegal Aliens Can Sue over "Discriminatory Employment Policy" Requiring Green Cards. For the second time in a few years, a federal court has ruled that illegal immigrants can sue American employers that refuse to hire them because they require workers to be U.S. citizens or legal residents (green card holders). The latest blow to the rule of law was delivered by an Obama-appointed federal judge in south Florida, who handed a powerful open-borders group a huge victory in a case accusing a major U.S. company of discriminating against an illegal immigrant. Though years apart, both lawsuits were filed by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), a leftist group that specializes in discrimination lawsuits on behalf of illegal immigrants and has Chicago ties to Obama. MALDEF pushes for free college tuition for illegal immigrants and lowering educational standards to accommodate new migrants. Its leadership refers to the U.S. government's immigration enforcement effort as racist and xenophobic and says it's racist to make English the country's official national language and inhumane to protect the southern border with a fence. Both MALDEF victories involve plaintiffs who benefit from a special Obama amnesty known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) that shields nearly 800,000 illegal aliens under the age of 31 from deportation. Ending anchor babies. Republican Congressman Steve Scalise of Louisiana made his bid for House speaker now that Paul Ryan is punking out to become a millionaire lobbyist. Scalise just proposed House Resolution 140, the Birthright Citizenship Act, which would enforce the constitutional provision that citizenship applies only to those who are "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. That means the babies of illegal aliens no longer will be assumed to be citizens. If a Mexican woman comes to the United States and has a baby, that baby would be a Mexican not an American. Border Patrol Reports 'Large Groups' of Migrants Crossing into Texas. Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector are reporting "large groups" of illegal immigrants crossing the Texas border with Mexico, according to a statement circulated Tuesday [4/10/2018]. They are mostly composed of unaccompanied minors and families from Central America. During a two-day period last week, Border Patrol agents assigned to the Weslaco Station reported the apprehension of 112 migrants in two large groups that crossed the border from Mexico illegally on Friday and Saturday. The arrests occurred near the Texas border town of Hidalgo, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials on Tuesday morning. Some 200 migrants in Mexico caravan to seek U.S. asylum: organizers. At least 200 Central American migrants in a "caravan" traveling through Mexico that provoked the ire of U.S. President Donald Trump plan to seek asylum in the United States, organizers said on Monday [4/9/2018]. Trump's Wall May Not Be Built, But The Illegal Immigrant Welcome Mat Is Being Removed. President Donald Trump continues to confound his critics. The same pundits who went crazy when he first proposed a wall on the southern border now rail against him for being a failure because he has not achieved that border wall. But beyond the political theater and tweets, when one considers what Trump has actually done, there is a surprise: The wall may not be there, but neither is the welcome mat to illegal immigrants that President Barack Obama had put out. That's progress. Largest illegal alien raid since Bush was president. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents took 97 illegal aliens into custody after raiding Southeastern Provision, a Tennessee meat processing plant on Friday. Ten face additional criminal charges. Supporters of open borders said this was the largest single-workplace raid since George W. Bush was president. Good. They are not supposed to be here. Migration — or Invasion? What can a government do if millions of unarmed people just keep walking towards your national border? Is it considered migration or invasion? The question that Europe has been facing since 2015, after Angela Merkel's siren call, will now be faced by the United States, as thousands from Central and South America are marching through Mexico to the U.S. border. In an earlier era, Mexico would have been seen as complicit in an invasion of the United States and it would be considered an act of war. The Limits of American Patience. Mexico assumed that a rich neighbor could, in perpetuity, serve as a refuge of last resort for its impoverished citizens, thereby providing a safety valve and precluding any need for its own internal reform. The United States was supposedly so affluent that it could both offer entitlements to illegal aliens and, given such aid, not care whether many of them sent $60 billion back home (what is a mere $60 billion out of a multi-trillion dollar economy?) to Central American and Mexico. When occasionally the United States recoiled a bit, Mexico could always accuse an essentially open-border America of being restrictionist and xenophobic. One wonders how exactly would Mexico's hostility be expressed — by vows not to receive remittances, or to demand repatriation of its lost citizens, or unilaterally to leave NAFTA, or to elect a nationalist president who would build a wall? Guarding the border: Joint U.S.-Mexican zone needed to secure America. The unfettered movement of transnational criminals, Islamic extremists and illegal border crossers across our porous southern border poses a clear and immediate national security threat. The sophistication of the illicit networks that traffic in narcotics, foment terror and exploit human suffering for profit have exceeded our current ability to protect the homeland. We must continue to be vigilant, but adopt a more aggressive, offense-oriented border strategy. You cannot win and defeat this national threat by being on defense all the time using limited assets and restrictive rules of engagement. Palin Says Dems Want to 'Import' Votes, Refuse to Secure Border. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin discussed the Second Amendment, border security, immigration and much more in a wide-ranging interview with Mark Levin. The 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate said she sees "hypocritical double standards" when it comes to the left's push for more gun control measures. She said all Americans have the constitutional right to protect themselves and their families in the same way celebrities and politicians are protected. President Donald Trump Signs Memo Ending 'Catch and Release' Policy. On Friday, the White House announced President Donald Trump signed a memorandum ending the immigration policy known as 'catch and release.' [...] "The safety and security of the American people is the President's highest priority, and he will keep his promise to protect our country and to ensure that our laws are respected," White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. Trump takes step toward ending 'catch and release' immigration policy. President Trump signed a memorandum on Friday seeking to take steps toward ending the "catch and release" immigration policy, a term that generally refers to the release of illegal immigrants as they wait for an immigration hearing. "Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum to take important steps to end 'catch and release,' the dangerous practice whereby aliens who have violated our Nation's immigration laws are released into the United States shortly after their apprehension," the Office of White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement. "The safety and security of the American people is the President's highest priority, and he will keep his promise to protect our country and to ensure that our laws are respected." Oregon's Liberal Dem Governor Kate Brown Accepted Large Soros Donation Three Days Before She Refused to Send National Guard to Protect US Border. Liberal Democrat Governor Kate Brown accepted a large donation from George Soros only days before announcing that she will not send Oregon's National Guard to the Southern border to help protect the country from illegal aliens. The New World Order failed. [Scroll down] Next came the collapse of the Soviet Union. Instead of ending NATO, we expanded it. Then came the European Union, which Prime Minister Thatcher reluctantly agreed to. And NAFTA. We were told this would mean more jobs here, and fewer illegal aliens as Mexicans could find work there. But it turned out to be a you-can-keep-your-doctor moment. We lost factory jobs, and gained illegal aliens. Zero tolerance at the border. Jeff Sessions may look like he makes Keebler cookies, but he is tougher than nails. He announced on Friday [4/6/2018] a zero tolerance policy for border-jumping illegal aliens. [Video clip] The president ordered up the National Guard. Sessions is doing his part. "The situation at our Southwest Border is unacceptable. Congress has failed to pass effective legislation that serves the national interest — that closes dangerous loopholes and fully funds a wall along our southern border," Sessions said. Prosecutors will work with Homeland Security on this. ICE raids meatpacking plant in Tennessee; 97 immigrants arrested. Ten people were arrested on federal immigration charges, one person was arrested on state charges and 86 immigrants were detained for being in the country illegally, Tammy Spicer, a spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said in a statement Friday. All of those arrested are suspected of being in the country illegally, she said. Immigration advocates said most were from Mexico. Sessions orders 'zero tolerance' policy at Southwest border. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Friday [4/6/2018] he's implementing a zero tolerance policy for immigrants illegally crossing the Southwest border. Sessions notified all federal prosecutors along that part of the border of the new policy in a memo Friday and directed them to make prosecuting criminal immigration offenses a priority. He also directed prosecutors to work with the Department of Homeland Security to develop guidelines for prosecuting offenses under immigration law. President Trump has every right to defend our border and not give in to migrant group's demands. President Trump's announcement that he is prepared to use military resources to deal with a long-simmering border crisis is a welcome response to the vexing influx of illegal arrivals, including those hoping to take advantage of our broken system for handling asylum seekers. Some Democrats are already describing the president's announcement as an act of hate: "President Trump's statements about deploying our military to the U.S.-Mexico border and downplaying the strength of our laws do little more than stoke anti-immigrant hate," said Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., who is ranking member of the Homeland Security committee. On the contrary, this is a necessary move in the face of rising apprehension over illegal crossers, and the pending arrival of an unusually large, organized "caravan" of more than 1,000 Central American migrants working its way through Mexico, which has declared its intention to gain entry to the United State. The caravan leaders, who are with the U.S.-based migrant solidarity group Pueblo Sin Fronteras, say they are assisting the migrants in asserting their "right" to enter the United States to settle as asylum seekers. Border Agent: 'We Lock Our Doors Because We Love People Inside, Don't Hate Those Outside'. A vice president of the Border Patrol Council said he is "very grateful" to President Donald Trump for the White House's focus on the Mexican border. "We have somebody who's running the country that's putting immigration at the forefront," Art del Cueto said. Del Cueto said Trump's idea to deploy the National Guard is not unusual, as past presidents have done the same in hopes of assisting the Border Patrol. Our border is a better place for our military than the Middle East. Yesterday [4/4/2018], the president took us one step closer to reorienting our national security priorities by announcing his intention both to withdraw our troops from Syria in the near future and send National Guard troops to our own border. Isn't it time to guard our sovereignty rather than the "sovereignty" of Islamic tribal factions in nation-states that no longer exist? REPORT: The Soros-Funded Mass Migration Of Illegals Into America Is Just About To Go Nuclear. Media reports have suggested the movement of thousands of "asylum seekers" toward the U.S. southern border is comprised mostly of women and children. NOT TRUE. It is a gathering dominated by young men — very similar to what has been taking place throughout Europe for the last decade as entire nations are being transformed/overrun by people who have no interest in assimilating but rather are there to colonize. Crime rates have skyrocketed and social services are at breaking points as "come on in" government policies have proved disastrous to the people paying for them. Mo Brooks Calls The Surge Of Illegal Immigrants 'Invasion By Foreign Nationals,'. CNN's Alisyn Camerota took issue with Republican Rep. Mo Brooks' statement on illegal immigration and tried to go head-to-head with the Alabama congressman Friday [4/6/2018] on "New Day." Camerota read Brooks' statement about the caravan of illegal immigrants making their way to America's southern border, and called him out for referring to it as an "invasion by foreign nationals." Illegal immigrants dump tons of waste in the wilderness every day. The amount of trash still littering Arizona's landscape tops by several times the amount that has been picked up, says Kathy Pedrick, who administers BLM's project. In addition to being in remote areas, these dumpsites are also high-crime zones. After all, drug smugglers often use the same trails as people smugglers. The best routes into our country are bought, and the cartels don't like anyone mucking around on land they've paid good money to control. Another problem: ADEQ officials say the sites can be contaminated with bio-hazardous waste. What else might be in these dumps? Are communicable diseases present? Is the Migrant Caravan a Trojan Horse? Migrants from Central America are supposedly fleeing their home countries to seek political asylum further north. They are allowed to cross Mexico's own southern border but are not being invited to stay in Mexico or granted asylum by Mexico. Instead they are given assistance, by migrant organizations, the Mexican government, and likely American pro illegal immigration groups, toward their final destination, the United States. Once they set foot in the U.S., they can claim political asylum, and with U.S. catch-and-release policies, are essentially set free within the U.S. Are all of the migrants being persecuted politically in their home countries or are some traveling with the caravan for other reasons? If so, how many? The Military Can Secure the Border and Build the Wall. El Salvadoran migration has inflicted 207 murderers on this country. The migrant caravan threatening to invade this country includes migrants from El Salvador. Some of them may be MS-13 members. The Pueblo Sin Fronteras caravan of 1,000 migrants is the product of an alliance between international leftists and migrant invaders. Their goal is the invasion, colonization and occupation of America. And the only ones defending us against them are the members of an outnumbered border patrol, threatened by both drug cartels on the other side of the border and sanctuary states in this country. That's why President Trump is mobilizing the troops to do the job that the Democrats won't do. Can America Survive the Latest Plague? A mob of foreigners planning to march across the United States border knowing in advance that numerous sanctuary cities will break federal law and welcome them in. Unidentified individuals being allowed to vote in U.S. elections, riots at universities with the intention of preventing any discussion that does not agree with theirs. These realities are all happening now and are all symptoms of a political plague that has been visited upon America and most of Europe. [...] The primary vehicles used to spread this insidious cognitive disorder at alarming rates consist of a leftist propaganda network known as the mainstream media, and indoctrination to leftist ideals via an overpriced monopolized leftist education system. Majority of Americans: Threaten Mexico with NAFTA Until They Help Stop Illegal Immigration to U.S. The majority of Americans say they support President Trump threatening Mexico with tougher negotiations over the job-killing North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) trade deal until the country's officials help the U.S. stop illegal immigration across the southern border. In a new poll by Rasmussen Reports, about 51 percent of likely voters said the U.S. should take a tougher line in the current renegotiation of NAFTA to force Mexico to strengthen its efforts to stop illegal immigration and illegal drugs from entering this country. Only 31 percent of likely voters said they opposed the effort. 'Migrant Caravan' is an Act of Aggression. It is not an ordinary thing for thousands of people to spontaneously decide to go on a march to a foreign nation, demanding things of that nation. Americans have good cause to wonder who, exactly, is behind the "caravan" of more than 1,000 Central Americans in Mexico that had been heading north until Tuesday [4/3/2018]. [...] Since Mexico welcomed the caravan and escorts it through the country, Mexico is clearly the prime mover. Mexico seeks to violate U.S. sovereignty before the wall is built, while anybody can simply walk in, and before Congress empowers the U.S. Border Patrol to do its job. In this caravan, Mexico deploys Central Americans, including minor children, as human shields in an aggressive action against the United States. Such a loathsome action is standard practice in Mexico, a more oppressive regime than many Americans realize. Border Arrests Increase 200 Percent Above Previous Year. The number of illegal immigrants arrested along the southwest border with Mexico and declared inadmissible jumped 200 percent in March when compared to the previous year. Border Patrol agents arrested nearly 38,000 migrants in the month of March, an increase of more than 10,000 in a single month. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials released the new apprehension numbers in its Southwest Border Migration Report on Wednesday evening. In one month, total apprehensions increased from 26,662 in February to 37,393 in March — an increase of 40.25 percent. When compared to March 2017, the number of arrests and aliens designated as inadmissible more than doubled, CBP officials stated. 50,308 Stopped at Mexican Border Last Month, Up 203% From March '17. More than fifty thousand people — 50,308 — were either apprehended or deemed inadmissible at the Southwest border last month, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said on Wednesday [4/4/2018]. It's the highest monthly total of the Trump presidency. The 50,308 apprehended/inadmissibles in March is a 37 percent increase from the 36,695 counted in February, but a whopping 203 percent increase from March 2017's 16,588. CBP said the number of family units increased by 49 percent from February to March, and the number of unaccompanied children increased by 41 percent compared to February. Secretary Ben Carson on Illegals: HUD Is 'Going to Cooperate Very Much with the Justice Department'. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Dr. Ben Carson told Breitbart News it is his aim to ensure federal contracting jobs and other economic opportunities go to "our people" and that his agency will cooperate "very much" with the Department of Justice to enforce the U.S.'s immigration laws. In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Monday [4/2/2018], Carson explained it is past time for American citizens — "our people," he said — to reap the full benefits of HUD projects. "What we want to do, obviously, is empower people — that's a major goal that we have — our people, American citizens. Our programs are aimed at that," said the secretary. Caravan? What Caravan? As everyone knows, a "caravan" of more than 1,000 Hondurans is making its way North through Mexico toward the United States. This caravan had sought, and drawn, a great deal of publicity before President Trump began talking about it. [...] Weirdly, the liberal media pretended to have no idea what the President was talking about. Trump To Illegal Immigrant 'Caravan': No, You Aren't Citizens And, No, U.S. Border Is Not 'Open'. Another day, another manufactured crisis. In this one, a "caravan" of 1,200 people from Central America (mainly Honduras) are making their way up through Guatemala and Mexico to the U.S. border. Once there, they plan to "demand" amnesty. If the U.S. fails to defend its border, all of us will regret it later. Tucker Carlson: Mexico Is a 'Hostile Power'. Tuesday [4/3/2018] on Fox News Channel's "Tucker Carlson Tonight," host Tucker Carlson slammed the Mexican government and explained why Americans have every reason to be skeptical of claims made by that government. According to Carlson, the Mexican government's action made that nation a "hostile power" threatening the United States. DOJ: Border-Crossers Have [an] 88 Percent Chance of Evading Deportation by Claiming 'Credible Fear'. Border-crossers entering the United States illegally have an 88 percent chance of evading immediate deportation by claiming "credible fear" in their native country, the Department of Justice (DOJ) analysis reveals. The issue of the country's loose asylum laws — where foreign nationals can claim that they are fearing for their lives in their native country and be released into the U.S. until their day in court — has sparked debate, as a caravan of 1,500 Central American asylum-seekers are headed for the southern border. Illegal Alien Caravan Marching to US Border Begins to Splinter Into Smaller Groups. Earlier this week, embedded Buzzfeed reporter, Adolfo Flores reported the Mexican immigration authorities said they were planning on disbanding the caravan of illegal aliens by Wednesday in Oaxaca. However, defiant caravan organizers vowed to march forward with their list of demands to the U.S. border and plan to cross over from Baja, California. Dan Bongino: 'This isn't immigration policy; this is chaos.'. On Monday morning [4/2/2018], former Secret Service agent and host of "The Dan Bongino Show" Dan Bongino appeared on "Fox & Friends" to comment on reports of a new "caravan" of Central Americans traveling through Mexico toward the U.S. border. Bongino argued that the open-borders position and support for the "struggle" of illegal immigrants is uncompassionate toward Americans who bear the costs of illegal immigrants and U.S. immigrants who follow the law. DACA Declared Dead As Border Anarchy Intensifies. A caravan of more than 1,000 young Central Americans is marching through Mexico heading for the United States. This caravan is the project of Pueblo Sin Fronteras but establishment news reports provide little information on the group, whose website reveals no founder, staff, board of directors or funders. "We are a collective of friends who decided to be in permanent solidarity with displaced peoples," the site explains. None of the "friends" is named but "our dream is to build solidarity among peoples and turn down border walls imposed by greed." According to CNN, Alex Mensing is one of the "US collaborators who works for Pueblo Sin Fronteras," but CNN did not explain that Mensing is a paralegal at the University of San Francisco's Immigration and Deportation Defense Law Clinic. Trump: We Will Guard Our Border With Our Military. President Donald Trump said Tuesday [4/3/2018] that the US military will be used to guard the US-Mexico border. "We are going to be guarding our border with our military. That's a big step," Trump told reporters gathered at the White House. "We cannot have people flowing into our country illegally, disappearing, and by the way never showing up for court." The President's comments appear to take aim at current US policy which requires border agents to catch then release family units who arrive at the border from noncontiguous countries. He also said he had spoken with Secretary of Defense James Mattis about the use of the military to guard the border. Trump says he'll guard Mexican border with military. President Trump said Tuesday [4/3/2018] that the caravan of illegal immigrants heading from Central America to the U.S. has been "broken up" in Mexico, potentially heading off a major headache for American officials. "I have just heard the caravan coming up from Honduras is broken up, and Mexico did that," Mr. Trump said, saying Mexico bowed to pressure from the U.S. to take action. There was no immediate independent confirmation from Pueblo Sin Fronteras, the group organizing the carazan, nor from Mexican officials. But on Monday the Mexican government said it had taken steps to deport about 400 people who were part of the "Viacrucis Migrantes" caravan, which organizers claimed totaled 1,500 people, mostly Hondurans, who were looking to reach the U.S. Organizers of US-bound immigrant caravan accuse Trump of 'bullying,' 'threats of mass violence'. The organization behind the 1,000-person strong caravan of Central Americans surging toward the United States' southern border accused President Trump on Monday of "bullying" immigrants and threatening "mass violence" — while Trump again warned the advancing procession "had better be stopped." Pueblo Sin Fronteras, or People Without Borders, fired back at Trump after the president's Twitter tirade urging Congress to invoke the "nuclear option" — requiring only a simple majority to pass legislation — in order to pass bills for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and tough immigration reform. Californication blues. [Scroll down] Nevertheless, with almost 40 million people, millions of them illegal aliens who make up a significant part of the state's population, California muddles on. But not without growing difficulty. The illegals usually don't speak English, as if by right, and millions don't bother to take up U.S. citizenship or even legal residence, even though two-thirds of them have lived in the state for at least a decade. [...] A sanctuary law, enacted in a burst of piety and generosity, was intended to protect illegal aliens who have never seemed to get the hang of obeying the law. The illegals are expected by the Democratic politicians to take out citizenship as soon as possible and vote Democratic ever after. Donald Trump: 'Our Country Is Being Stolen' by Illegals. President Donald Trump urged Congress to prevent large groups of illegal immigrants from entering the country. "Act now Congress, our country is being stolen!" Trump wrote on Twitter on Monday morning [4/1/2018]. Trump said that "weak" border laws passed by Democrats prevented border patrol and ICE agents from enforcing the border laws. Democratic Activist: Keep Border Open Until Trump OKs Amnesty. Democrats should hold the border open for Central American migrants until President Donald Trump agrees to a national amnesty for illegals, says Chuck Schumer's former top immigration aide. The open borders plan came from Leon Fresco, an immigration activist now working in D.C. for foreign clients, including tens of thousands of Indian tech-workers. In 2013, Fresco was Schumer's Democrats' chief immigration lawyer as they wrote up the disastrous "Gang of Eight" amnesty bill which prompted the public to elect pro-American Donald Trump in 2016. America Is In Utter Jeopardy. President Trump recently signed the largest six month spending bill in United States history. Illegal border crossers are having a field day crossing our southern border like they did during the Obama presidency. Border officials are back to catching and releasing those who shuffle into our republic illegally. Leftist democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Chuckie Schumer are still celebrating the massive funding of sanctuary cities. Obviously neither Chuckie or Nancy have any regard for American born sovereigns and legal immigrants who are often raped, robbed, or beaten to death by illegal border crossers who moonlight as dastardly MS 13 gang members. History has proven ever since the barbarians sacked Rome, that enemies will infiltrate any nation foolish enough to not secure their borders. Organizers of Illegal Migrant Caravan Headed to US Are Feeling the Backlash. Pueblos Sin Fronteras, the group behind the 1500 strong illegal migrant army marching through Mexico with the blessing of the Mexican government to the United States is feeling the heat from pro-border Americans and President Donald Trump. Spokespersons for PSF gave interviews on Sunday in which they claimed most of the migrants would stay in Mexico while others would seek asylum at US ports of entry rather than illegally cross the border. Video from March 26 [shows] Mexican authorities allowing 1500 illegal migrants to sweep through a border checkpoint from Guatemala. Hey, Mueller, Here's Proof of Election-influencing Collusion With Foreign Nationals. These are people who, like the Russkies, engaged in "information warfare" during campaigns. Like the Russkies, they tried to sow discord and foment unrest via "Astroturf" operations. Unlike the Russians, these people actually admitted to doing the above — and stealing votes — on hidden camera. And unlike the Russians, who cannot be extradited, these meddlers are not beyond the law. College Mills Are Selling Visas to Foreign Students. College mills are selling visas to foreign students. These students aren't vetted in any serious way. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, is confronting the Department of Homeland Security about a special program called the Optional Practical Training program (OPT) under which groups "pose as education institutions in order to secure visas for tuition-paying foreign students." "Visa mills are those marginal educational institutions that provide visas and work permits to foreign students, but little in the way of actual schooling," according to the Center for Immigration Studies. We Can't Stop the 1200 Illegals, We Have to Set Them Free in the US. Most have heard by now of an imminent invasion of 1200 illegal aliens about to hit our border. Most of the marching illegals come from Honduras. They are being led by an open borders group while BuzzFeed chronicles their journey. What people don't realize is we have to let them into the country and then set them free inside the country. This has been going on for years. Border Patrol agent and union spokesperson Brandon Judd explained to Pete Hegseth on Fox&Friends that a Mexican agency is helping these people come into the U.S. The group should be prosecuted in the United States but no one does it. Army of Illegals Marching on U.S. For five days now hundreds of Central Americans — children, women, and men, most of them from Honduras — have boldly crossed immigration checkpoints, military bases, and police in a desperate, sometimes chaotic march toward the United States. Despite their being in Mexico without authorization, no one has made any effort to stop them. Caravan of 1,500 Central American Migrant Familes Crossing Mexico to Reach U.S. Border. A caravan of more than 1,500 familes including men, women, and children are making their way from Central America through Mexico and are expected to arrive at the US-Mexico Border in the coming days to request refugee status. Homeland Security raids a Florida business and arrests 28 undocumented immigrants. The Department of Homeland Security detained and administratively arrested 28 undocumented immigrants in Fort Pierce on Wednesday. CBS12 reports that agents served a search warrant at 9 a.m. to TentLogix, a tent rental company that provides large scale items for events. A worker told CBS12 many employees lack papers that would allow them to work legally in the United States. The employee told WPTV authorities arrived and started asking people "for their documents." Dozens arrested in Arizona immigration raid on 'drop house' for undocumented migrants. Thirty-four people believed to be immigrants who entered the country illegally have been put in federal custody after a house was raided in Phoenix, Arizona, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials said. The "drop house," or sort of waiting station where human smugglers hide undocumented immigrants, was raided based on a tip that a "local residence contained a large group of suspected undocumented aliens," Lauren Mack, a spokeswoman for ICE, said in a statement. Ms Mack said the house and smuggling operation were "dismantle[d]" and the group of people included 27 Guatemalan nationals, five Mexican nationals and two Honduran nationals. ICE Arrests 89 Criminal Illegal Immigrants in Texas-Oklahoma Sweep. Immigration officers arrested a total of 89 criminal aliens and others in North Texas and Oklahoma during a three-day targeted operation. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers carried out a three-day operation targeting violent criminal aliens and others with existing orders of removal. The officers carried out the operation in North Texas and Oklahoma on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday [3/22/2018] of last week, according to information obtained by Breitbart Texas from ICE officials. 20 metro areas are home to six-in-ten unauthorized immigrants in U.S. Most of the United States' 11.1 million unauthorized immigrants live in just 20 major metropolitan areas, with the largest populations in New York, Los Angeles and Houston, according to new Pew Research Center estimates based on government data. The analysis shows that the nation's unauthorized immigrant population is highly concentrated, more so than the U.S. population overall. In 2014, the 20 metro areas with most unauthorized immigrants were home to 6.8 million of them, or 61% of the estimated nationwide total. By contrast, only 36% of the total U.S. population lived in those metro areas. GOP Punts On Immigration. Democrats offered to give the requested $25 billion for the wall in exchange for Amnesty, but the White House said no thanks. Trump offered his own deal where only previous DACA recipients would receive a three-year extension on their temporary legal status in exchange for full funding for the wall. Democrats rejected that. Thankfully, Republican Congressional leaders remained in lockstep with the White House and did not try to sneak in any legalization for illegal immigrants. The Omnibus may have been the last chance for Congress to pass amnesty before the mid-terms. So immigration patriots have a victory, albeit a defensive one. Republican bill would stop illegal immigrants from being able to 'disappear' once they're caught. Sen. James Inhofe said he will introduce legislation aimed at preventing illegal immigrants who make it over the U.S. border from disappearing into the country due to overcrowded detention centers. Inhofe said U.S. detention facilities release thousands of illegal immigrants into the United States with a court date with an immigration judge, and they almost never return to attend. "What they should do is send them back to the country they came from until their court date," the Oklahoma Republican told the Washington Examiner. "But as it is now, they just give them a court date and they turn them over to church groups and others and they just disappear and they end up in our society." Poll of Swing-Voters: Immigration [is] Vastly More Important than Tax Cuts in Midterm Elections. President Trump's populist pro-American immigration reform agenda is more important to swing voters in the 2018 midterms than the issue of taxes and the Republicans' tax cut plan. According to a new Quinnipiac Poll, swing voters in the 2018 midterm elections are more concerned with the issue of immigration than they are with tax reform. For example, when swing voters are asked, "What is the most important issue to you in deciding how to vote in this year's midterm election," Independents say immigration is their third most important issue. Meanwhile, taxes are dead last as an issue for swing voters. Fearing deportation under Trump, these immigrants prepare to become untraceable. A few months back, Lorena Jofre was planning to buy a condominium in Miami-Dade County to finally move into her own place with her 7-year-old daughter. [...] But her plans have since drastically changed. Like many immigrants in South Florida and other parts of the country, Jofre is now taking steps to become untraceable after President Donald Trump ordered stepped up enforcement of immigration laws and arrests of undocumented immigrants. Without wall, illegal crossings expected to spike 70% in 2018. Illegal immigration, sidelined by the so-called "Trump effect" in the past year, is likely to surge 70 percent this year as undocumented aliens try to get into the United States before the president's border wall is constructed and to take advantage of the booming economy, according to a leading expert. Whistleblower Says Illegal Aliens Have 'Taken Over Every Trade' in CA Construction, Driven Down U.S. Wages. A whistleblower in the southern California construction industry says illegal alien workers have "taken over every trade" in the business while driving down wages by an estimated 40 percent. In an interview with the group Progressives for Immigration Reform, a whistleblower who was an independent contractor throughout the 1980s and 1990s explains how the California construction industry transformed into one in which American men could make a middle-class living off blue-collar work to a business where wages have plummeted and illegal aliens dominate the field. ICE removal key goal of Democrats in 2020 election. The Democrats mulling a run for the White House in 2020 are facing intense pressure from liberals to campaign on abolishing the agency that enforces federal immigration laws, a proposal that was once relegated to the far-left fringe. In protesting the Trump administration's policies toward illegal immigration, liberal commentators and writers have been embracing the idea of gutting the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, which identifies, arrests and deports illegal immigrants inside the United States. Border officer falsely claimed to be U.S. citizen. Marco Antonio De la Garza Jr., an officer in southern Arizona, faces criminal charges for allegedly telling U.S. Customs and Border Protection and others in the government that he was born in Texas. Baltimore Has Somehow Found Money To Pay For Lawyers For Illegal Aliens. The City of Baltimore, Maryland has been dealing with their fair share of budget problems lately, the same as many other municipalities. In their recently completed 2018 budget negotiations, they wound up having to make cuts so deep they eliminated funding for things like new street lights and trash cans. And all of that was happening at the same time as they struggled to fund law enforcement efforts aimed at tamping down their historic murder rate. But somehow, in a bit of financial legerdemain, they came up with $100K to pay for attorneys for illegal aliens fighting deportation orders. There's a lesson here about priorities somewhere, but I get the feeling that the City Council wouldn't listen even if someone stopped by to brief them on it. AG Sessions Helping Immigration Courts End 'Catch-and-Release'. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is streamlining courtroom reviews of migrants' asylum pleas, so helping reduce the "catch-and-release" inflow of Central American migrants. The nation's immigration courts are run by the AG, so Sessions has the legal authority to set precedents, procedures and rules for judges and for the Board of Immigration Appeals. At least two dozen Kern County farmworkers arrested in latest immigration sweep across California. At least 26 Kern County farmworkers were detained for deportation proceedings as part of a mass sweep last week across Central and Northern California that federal officials said was targeted at convicted criminals. Many of the farmworkers appeared to have no serious criminal background and were stopped on their way to work by federal immigration officers in unmarked vehicles, said Armando Elenes, a vice president of United Farm Workers of America, which has been trying to document how many people have been detained. Ten Steps to Fix the Broken Immigration Enforcement System. Politicians who push for increasing legal immigration levels will often make reference to the "Broken Immigration System". By fixing the "broken system" what they really want is to dismantle enforcement and make it easier for employers to access cheap, foreign labor. But they often ignore the real broken pieces within our immigration system that drive more illegal immigration and harm national security and public safety. Court ends bail for illegal aliens. The headline in the Washington Times was close but no cigar: "Illegal immigrants have no automatic right to freedom, Supreme Court rules." Oh they have a right to freedom. Just not here. They are free to go home in the paradises they left behind. President Trump is helping them get home. "Immigrants being held for deportation don't have an automatic right under the law to post bond and be set free, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a decision that could give the Trump administration more freedom to pursue stiff detention policies for illegal immigrants who show up at the border claiming asylum," Stephen Dinan of the Times wrote. Supreme Court rules immigrants can be held indefinitely with no bond hearings. The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday [2/27/2018] that immigration officials can continue to indefinitely detain immigrants during proceedings to determine the legality of their status in the U.S. In the 5-3 decision, which Justice Elena Kagan took no part in, the Supreme Court reversed the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision that ruled detained immigrants must receive bond hearings every six months to determine if their continued detainment was necessary. The decision of Jennings v. Rodriguez affects illegal and legal immigrants. Legal permanent residents facing deportation as a result of committing crimes and asylum seekers who have turned themselves in at the border and are awaiting a court date can be detained indefinitely with no interval bond hearings. US Border Patrol Hasn't Validated E-Passport Data For Years. Passports, like any physical ID, can be altered and forged. That's partly why for the last 11 years the United States has put RFID chips in the back panel of its passports, creating so-called e-Passports. The chip stores your passport information — like name, date of birth, passport number, your photo, and even a biometric identifier — for quick, machine-readable border checks. And while e-Passports also store a cryptographic signature to prevent tampering or forgeries, it turns out that despite having over a decade to do so, US Customs and Border Protection hasn't deployed the software needed to actually verify it. This means that since as far back as 2006, a skilled hacker could alter the data on an e-Passport chip — like the name, photo, or expiration date — without fear that signature verification would alert a border agent to the changes. Texas ICE Operation Lands 145 Due for Deportation. Immigration officers arrested nearly 150 criminal aliens, previously deported illegal immigrants, and foreign nationals subject to an order of removal during a seven-day targeted operation in Central and South Texas. The operation took place in Texas cities from Waco and southward to the Rio Grande Valley. Activists Warn Illegals Not to Travel in Florida as Immigration Arrests Mount. As arrests of illegal immigrants increase due to actions taken by President Donald Trump to enforce laws greatly ignored by Barack Obama, civil rights activists in Florida are issuing travel warnings and tips on how to avoid law enforcement. A Florida immigration coalition composed of activist groups, such as the Council of American-Islamic Relations of Florida, the Women's March, and the Florida Immigrant Coalition, are urging anyone who's in the country illegally to "reconsider visiting Florida and especially recommended to avoid high-risk areas, including ports, airports, and Greyhound stations," as reported by the Miami New Times. Mueller Indictment May Be Bad News for Illegal Aliens. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's 37-page indictment against three Russian entities and 13 Russian individuals may have legal implications for illegal aliens residing in the United States, and could serve as grounds for deportation. [...] The indictment charges the defendants with working in concert to travel to the United States under false pretenses, and to steal identities of U.S. citizens to create email accounts and establish fake social media accounts so they could publish content and organize political rallies using false personas. [...] But Russians aren't the only foreign nationals working to interfere in United States affairs. Many are here illegally, are politically active in grassroots organizations, post on social media, and attend protest marches. In fact, it's fairly commonplace. Mexican and other foreign nationals participate in all kinds of activities to influence public opinion and government policy, just as the Russians named in Mueller's indictment allegedly did. Many of them may be colluding with their governments to evade our laws and subvert their enforcement. 212 ICE Immigration Arrests in L.A.: 195 Repeat Offenders, More Than Half Serious or Violent Criminals. Eighty-eight percent of the 212 individuals arrested in the Los Angeles area this week for immigration law violations were previously convicted criminals. Over the course of five days, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deportation officers and special agents made the arrests and served 122 notices of inspection (NOIs) to businesses in the Los Angeles area of responsibility. This is in addition to notices of inspection issued to 77 businesses in northern California just weeks ago. One hundred and ninety-five of the 212 arrested included convicted criminals, those who failed to leave the United States after being issued a final order of removal, and those who returned to the U.S. after being removed. Understanding the California Mind. Illegal immigrants are neither collective saints nor sinners, but simply individuals who arrive from one of the poorest regions in the Americas, without legality or much in the way of English, or high school education. They encounter an American host that has lost confidence in its once formidable powers of assimilation and integration as well as its ability to mint Americans from diverse races, religions, and ethnicities. Instead, American culture has adopted an arrogant sense that it can ensure near instant parity as redemption for supposed past -isms and -ologies. That may explain the immigrant's romance for Mexico to which he fights any return, and the ambiguity about America in which he fights to stay. We dare not mention illegal immigration in California as a factor in the state's implosion. But privately, residents assume it has something to do with the 20 percent of the state's population that lives below the poverty level. ICE agents arrest 212 undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles and crack down on businesses suspected of hiring illegal workers. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have rounded up more than 200 people for violating immigration laws during a five-day sweep in the Los Angeles area, which sparked a protest on Thursday. In addition to arresting 212 undocumented immigrants, federal agents also served more than 100 notices to local businesses that they will be audited to determine whether they are employing people who are in the country illegally. The raids triggered a demonstration by a small group of immigration advocates chanting 'stop the deportations' who blocked a Homeland Security van from entering the federal Metropolitan Detention Center. Senate deal grants amnesty to future illegals. The Senate's new immigration compromise not only grants legal status to illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. before, but creates a new future amnesty that would even protect illegal immigrants who managed to sneak into the U.S. over the next four months, experts said. Not only would the bill enshrine Obama-era deportation rules, protecting most of the current 11 million illegal immigrants from fear of removal, but it extends those same protections to any illegal immigrants who can jump the border between now and June 30. The Homeland Security Department said the plan "destroys" their ability to enforce immigration laws, and would amount to an "amnesty for over 10 million illegal aliens." Three charged in scheme to disguise illegal immigrants as folk singers. Three individuals were indicted for their role in a scheme to defraud Armenian citizens by selling them phony visas, the Department of Justice has announced. Stella Boyadjian, 47, of Rego Park, New York; Hrachya Atoyan, 30, of Glendale, California and Diana Grigoryan, 41, of Armenia were charged in the Eastern District of New York in a 15-count indictment. The defendants face multiple counts of visa fraud, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and illegally bringing clients into the United States. Ms. Boyadjian faces additional charges of charges money laundering and identity theft while Ms. Grigoryan faces additional money laundering charges. DHS chief on gang members at the border: 'I have to let them in'. American border officials cannot refuse to let in gang members who either sneak in or show up at ports of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border, government officials said Tuesday as they pleaded for congressional action to close loopholes gang members are exploiting. "When they come to our border I have to let them in," Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said at a White House roundtable. "This is unique to our country, and it's got to change," President Trump chimed in. Trump says the 'stupidity' of US immigration laws are allowing gangs like MS-13 to flourish. President Donald Trump said the 'stupidity' of the nation's immigration laws is allowing violent gangs like MS-13 to flourish in the US. The comment was made at an event at the White House on Tuesday [2/6/2018] aimed at combating the MS-13 gang. The president said: 'Not another country in the world has the stupidity of laws that we do. Angel Family Member on Illegal Aliens: 'They're Breaking the Law and We're Supposed to Feel Sorry for Them?'. "I do feel sorry that they live in a country that doesn't have as many opportunities [as America], so, go back and make your country great like our forefathers made this country great," said Kilborn. "We need to enforce the laws we have. I'm not begging for extra laws. I'd like to see our laws enforced, and follow our Constitution, and put America first." Democrat Sen. Carper: Discard Millions of Americans so Illegals Can Get Jobs. Democratic Sen. Tom Carper says 'dreamer' illegal immigrants should be hired to replace millions of Americans who supposedly are too unskilled, uneducated, unethical or drugged up to work for companies. "I think the business community is saying that to the administration [and] they are certainly saying that to those of us in the Congress, and we should focus on that," Carper told MSNBC. Report Finds Immigrants in U.S. Sent Home $138 Billion in 2016. Immigrants in the United States in 2016 sent home more than $138 billion — a sum that exceeds the entire gross domestic product of Kuwait — according to a new report from the Pew Research Center. That sum accounted for about a quarter of the $574 billion that migrants in countries around the world sent to friends and relatives in their home nations. The U.S received only about $6.5 billion in money sent by people living in other countries, according to the Pew report. Berkeley students panic after ICE vehicle spotted on campus. The appearance of a Border Patrol vehicle sent UC-Berkeley into an uproar, prompting the school to reassure students that "there is no raid." According to the school, representatives for ICE were on campus to speak about TSA checks and give advice for international students. How to Decide Which Immigrants to Allow In. How many Norwegians have illegally entered our nation, committed crimes, and burdened our prison and welfare systems? I might ask the same question about Finnish, Swedish, Welsh, Icelanders, Greenlanders, and New Zealanders. The bulk of our immigration problem is with people who enter our country criminally from Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, and the Middle East. It's illegal immigrants from those countries who have committed crimes and burdened our criminal justice and welfare systems. Liberals have lost their minds over immigration. Something very odd and potentially self-defeating is happening to liberalism in the Trump era. Confronted by the rise of a harder right, the center-left has responded by declaring the intellectual and political equivalent of a public health emergency. Policy positions adopted by their opponents, which liberals of the past would have considered wrong but perfectly legitimate, are now deemed morally unacceptable threats to our form of government — a hazard to the soul of American democracy akin to the danger that an outbreak of a deadly plague would pose to individual American bodies. 3 Reasons the Left Wants Evermore Immigrants. On one thing we can all agree: The left wants more and more immigrants — including immigrants who enter or are in the country illegally — to come to America and become American citizens. The question is, why? The first and most obvious reason is political. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, chain migration, sanctuary cities and citizenship for immigrants living in the country illegally will give the left political power. An estimated 70 to 80 percent of Latin American immigrants will vote Democrat. So, with enough new voters from Latin America alone, the Democrats would essentially be assured the presidency and Congress for decades. Judge rules illegals have constitutional right to 'say goodbye' to family. Illegal immigrants snared by deportation officers have "the freedom to say goodbye" to their families, a federal judge in New York ruled Monday [1/29/2018], ordering the government to release a prominent activist to his family. Judge Katherine B. Forrest, whom President Barack Obama appointed to the bench, said the government was following the law when it picked up Ravidath Lawrence Ragbir, the illegal immigrant. But she said "larger, more fundamental" rights were at stake. The Editor says... If Pelosi Brings Illegals to SOTU, Trump Should Bring ICE Agents. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and a number of other Democrats plan to fill the House gallery with illegal aliens when President Trump delivers his first State of the Union address. ABC News reports at least 24 House Democrats plan to bring illegals — the so-called "Dreamers" — to watch the Tuesday night speech from the House gallery. The illegal aliens will be sitting in seats that in previous years were meant for brave military heroes, law-abiding taxpayers and America's best and brightest. The sad truth is that Democrats would rather align themselves with foreign invaders who violated our national sovereignty, thumbed their nose at the rule of law, and pillaged and plundered taxpayer-funded resources. Poll: Black Americans the Most Supportive of Dramatically Reducing Legal Immigration Levels. Black Americans are the most supportive group in the United States of dramatically lower legal immigration levels, down from where the U.S. currently admits more than 1 million legal immigrants a year, a new poll reveals. According to a detailed Harvard-Harris poll, black Americans are more likely than any other demographic group to support lower yearly legal immigration levels, down to a fourth of current immigration levels. To Protect Illegals from Deportation, Denver Decriminalizes Pooping on the Pavement. What's confusing for those who regularly use restrooms is that a better life was supposed to be the excuse undocumented travelers gave for coming to America, to begin with. How does permitting people to leave human excrement on the sidewalk cultivate an environment unlike the one migrants came from? And if the culture illegals left behind ends up being foisted upon America — how does that improve anyone's life? Yet pro-illegal immigrant activist-types seem to believe it is "soft bigotry" to insist illegals assimilate by finding their way to a restroom like the rest of the civilized world. Ironically, by allowing in Denver what is common for 40-million people in Pakistan, the left not only encourages unsanitary conditions, they also tacitly insinuate that people from certain countries are incapable of learning to use the bathroom. And who's the bigot? Who Cares What Chuck Schumer Thinks About Immigration? Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says he rejects President Trump's compromise proposal on immigration, which would trade legalization of certain illegal aliens for important reforms in our legal immigration system, plus the wall. The press is treating Schumer's obstinacy as a big deal, but is it? Senator Tom Cotton says No. Border agent arrest aboard Greyhound bus triggers outcry. A woman from Jamaica who overstayed her tourist visa was removed from a Greyhound bus in Florida by border agents who allegedly asked riders to provide identification — prompting an outcry from immigration advocates who questioned the legality of the inspection. The Florida Immigrant Coalition posted video of the Friday encounter on its Facebook page Saturday [1/20/2018]. The 2-minute clip shows two uniformed US Border Patrol officers taking a woman into custody as shocked passengers look on during a stop along the Orlando-to-Miami route. Americans want massive cuts to legal immigration. A government shutdown is in the rearview mirror, but the outlines of a looming immigration deal remain murky with the sides still far apart — though the latest polling suggests President Trump's bargaining position may be strong. A Harvard-Harris poll taken in the run-up to the shutdown found Americans strongly support granting citizenship rights to illegal immigrant Dreamers. But they also back Mr. Trump's three demands for a border wall, limits to the chain of family migration and an end to the Diversity Visa Lottery. Sen. Tom Cotton: Flake-Graham-Durbin Bill Gives Amnesty to DACA 'Children' AND Their Parents! — Millions of Illegals! Democrats hold a minority position in the US Senate but they do have the support of Sen. Lindsey Graham, Senator Jeff Flake and others. The Gang of 6 bill would have offered Mr. Trump less than 10 percent of his border wall, and only a 3 percent cut to existing paths of family-based chain migration. The president does not support this. Neither do Americans. ICE Is Enforcing Deportation Orders Against High-Profile Illegal Immigrant Activists. Immigration authorities have detained in recent weeks two prominent activists who are themselves illegal immigrants, demonstrating the Trump administration's commitment to expand the pool of deportable aliens. The arrested men have openly lived in the U.S. for years and have until recently enjoyed a de facto immunity from deportation, thanks to their status as high-profile immigrants' rights activists. Hang Tough, Republicans. The Democratic demands both are unreasonable in themselves and set a bad precedent. The end of the amnesty for illegal immigrants who came here as minors — President Obama implemented it without legislative authorization, and President Trump said he would cancel it unless authorized — will not mean a mass deportation of this population. Republicans should agree to a limited amnesty only if it comes with real enforcement measures, such as mandatory E-Verify for new hires, and limits on the ability of the amnestied population to sponsor further immigrants. Only such a deal should be acceptable to Republicans, whether it happens in the context of a bill to keep the government funded or separate legislation. Hang tough, Republicans. Yale Professor: There Are "22.8 Million Undocumented Immigrants" In America, Double Official Estimates. A working paper by Dr. Mohammad Fazel Zarandi from the Yale School of Management, coauthored by two other Yale professors, estimates that there are 22.8 million illegal immigrants in the United States. This is over double estimates compiled by the Department of Homeland Security, which claims 11.1 million illegal aliens live in the US. The paper's abstract outlines some of the reasons why their estimate is both higher, and better than the current government statistics: [...] 57.9% of Illegals Caught at U.S.-Mexico Border in FY17 Not Mexican; From 111 Other Countries. Only 42.1 percent of the "deportable aliens" that the U.S. Border Patrol apprehended along the U.S.-Mexico border in fiscal 2017 were citizens of Mexico, according to data collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. A significant majority — 57.9 percent — came from 111 other countries. In fact, during fiscal year 2017, the Border Patrol apprehended deportable aliens along the U.S.-Mexico border who came from 84 countries that are not in the Americas. In fiscal 2017, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Border Patrol apprehended a total of 310,531 "deportable aliens" in all 20 Border Patrol sectors. Illegal Aliens Quietly Being Relocated Throughout U.S. on Commercial Flights. Immigrants entering the United States illegally through the southern border are quietly being relocated to different parts of the country on commercial flights, high-ranking Homeland Security officials told Judicial Watch this week. In the last few days alone, groups of illegal aliens boarded planes at airports in Texas and Arizona accompanied by a taxpayer-funded government escort in civilian clothes to avoid drawing attention. The first flight originated at Valley International Airport in Harlingen, Texas and was bound for Minneapolis. The second left from Tucson International Airport and arrived in Salt Lake City, Utah, federal sources said. In both locations the illegal aliens appeared to be in their late teens and were escorted by a Health and Human Services (HHS) chaperone. Judicial Watch reached out to HHS for comment but did not hear back from the agency. The illegal aliens wear red HHS wrist bands and receive "the gold glove treatment," according to a veteran federal official, who added that the undocumented immigrants get priority boarding ahead of all other passengers, including law enforcement personnel. "It is shameful and dangerous," said a seasoned Homeland Security agent with direct knowledge of the secret operations. Now illegal aliens are getting priority boarding on commercial flights? As if commercial airline flights weren't miserable enough, now we have Homeland Security officials escorting unscreened groups of illegals onto commercial airline flights, riding alongside paying passengers. In another example of special treatment, the illegals board with all their luggage on a priority boarding basis, ahead of paying passengers. It's the return of catch-and-release, and it's responsible for a nearly threefold surge of illegal crossers of the U.S.'s southern border in the past few months, according to Judicial Watch. Dems Think 800,000 Illegal Immigrants Are Worth Forcing Active Military To Go Without Pay. Democrats are threatening to hold national security hostage, potentially costing the economy billions and forcing hundreds of thousands of federal government employees to go without pay in exchange for securing legal protections for 800,000 illegal immigrants. Congress has three days to strike a deal to keep the government funded through October. If members fail to come to an agreement by Jan. 19, all "non-essential" government employees and active U.S. Military personnel will be working with out pay (including troops currently deployed). Funding for agencies like federal museums or national parks will also be cut off. Congressional Democrats are apparently content with allowing military and law enforcement personnel to go without pay to secure protections and benefits for illegal immigrants and members of their extended families. We Shouldn't Know About The Upcoming ICE Sweep In San Francisco. Hey, did you hear that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is about to unleash one of the widest, most sweeping operations ever to detain illegal aliens in the San Francisco area? There's a good chance you did because it's been all over the news, including at FOX. [...] Why do we know about this? The story was leaked by "a source familiar with the matter." (As usual.) Do you really believe that Homeland Security or the specific officials at ICE responsible for making this happen wanted it all over the headlines? Feds planning massive Northern California immigration sweep to strike against sanctuary laws. U.S. immigration officials have begun preparing for a major sweep in San Francisco and other Northern California cities in which federal officers would look to arrest more than 1,500 undocumented people while sending a message that immigration policy will be enforced in the sanctuary state, according to a source familiar with the operation. Officials at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, declined to comment Tuesday [1/16/2018] on plans for the operation. Trump was right... literally. Wow! Sixty percent of the world's population has no effective toilet in the home? And we expect that these people are going to emigrate to the U.S. and become rocket scientists and nuclear engineers? Did Trump say anything that isn't true? Trump is a man at war. He's a man in search of American Gothic. He wants to turn back the clock. Before it's too late. The clock started ticking from the time Sen. Ted Kennedy pushed through the 1965 Hart-Celler Act. That's the one that brought in the mixed multitudes from the Third World... but kept to a trickle the builders, those who came invited and still come invited to "breathe free." Those we want. The others the world can keep. Take a step back: Did Trump really even say the s-word? Anyone who wouldn't say that Haiti and Somalia are hellholes is lacking in compassion. The people in Somalia and many other African countries live miserable lives, and pointing that out is hardly an act of evil. The real problem for the Democrats is that Trump is saying what most Americans believe: the role of immigration is to help America, not to help the rest of the world. If someone from Somalia has what it takes to be a good American, by all means, let him in, but that doesn't mean we should be taking pretty much anyone from Somalia while rejecting highly skilled people from Japan or Norway. What's really interesting is that the same leftists now having a conniption fit over what Trump might have said have been telling us for decades that those same countries are in fact hellholes. For ages, leftists have been saying we have to let immigrants in from poor third-world countries because life in those countries is so bad. Trump not a barbarian and he's right. As usual, he was right on the money. Trump said exactly (although perhaps crudely) what 63 million American taxpayers who voted for him were thinking. Trump summed up the weakness of America — we're far too nice. We think about everyone, but our own people and our own taxpayers. Why on earth would we allow the world's poor, unskilled, desperate and dependent masses to come into our country, while we're $20 trillion in debt? Those days are over. It's time to be picky and choosy. Lindsey Graham Said In 2013 That Not Everyone In 'Hellholes' Can Come To U.S. During a 2013 Senate panel meeting, [Senator Lindsey] Graham referred to Mexico and other countries that are flooding the United States with illegal aliens as "hellholes." [...] "The people coming across the southern border live in hellholes," Graham said. "They don't like that. They want to come here. Our problem is we can't have everybody in the world who lives in a hellhole come [into] America. We're just gonna have to create order out of chaos. So, you've gotta do something on the southern border you don't do on the northern border, but if you don't agree that the difference is jobs, then we just don't agree. There are 11 million people coming through the southern border 'cause they come from countries where they can't find work and life is miserable." Top 10 [Bad Places] Nobody Wants to Visit. Are we allowed to point out that there are places in the world that are not ideal, or are we pretending all countries are equal? This seems demonstrably ridiculous, yet the left is acting super-offended at the suggestion that some countries are [bad places]. [...] A quick search of Haitian vacations found that a person could have a full week in Haiti for $600, airfare included. If that isn't a screaming red flag, I don't know what is. The reason it's so cheap is that you have a high likelihood of never returning. If you don't get murdered, you will probably get a disease. Of Trump, Holes, and Our Real Immigration Scandals. Of course, it would be best if the president didn't denigrate other countries, even in a semi-private setting. And of course, his language was crude. And yes, of course, America gets a lot of wonderful immigrants from all around the globe, and we should always point that out. But that doesn't mean there aren't profound geography-related differences in how successful our immigrants are. The UN Human Development Index, the most widely accepted metric for how not like a [bad place] a given country is, ranks Norway (the country Trump mentioned he wanted more immigrants from), as No. 1 in the world. El Salvador ranked 117th. Haiti was 163rd, and every single one of the 25 countries ranked below it (with the exception of the garden spots of Afghanistan and Yemen) was in Africa. All other things being relatively equal, why shouldn't we want immigrants from countries with healthy functioning societies that are doing well, people who have grown up enmeshed in strong institutions — rather than some of the world's most impoverished and dysfunctional places? Immigration and the Tragic Sense of Life. TPS [Temporary Protection Status] is for countries affected by armed conflict, natural disaster, or other strife. Since those conditions are not exceptions but, tragically, norms in human affairs, the status must be temporary. Otherwise the United States would not be a country so much as a depleted charity, with no end to the persons who seek to immigrate to its desirable shores. So the Trump administration announced on Monday [1/8/23018] that Salvadorans in the TPS program will have until September 2019 to make arrangements to leave the country or obtain other legal status in order to stay. Thereafter, they no longer will be allowed to remain in the U.S. under TPS. The news came just weeks after more than 45,000 Haitians, the second-largest group, lost protections granted after Haiti's 2010 earthquake. Other peoples in the program — Hondurans, for example — may soon lose them as well. Nicaraguans lost their protections last year. In March, protections for 800,000 young illegal immigrants — a.k.a. Dreamers — will end unless Congress grants them legal status before then. Although naturally unpopular on the left and among the immigrants themselves, getting immigration under control is one of the major reasons that Donald Trump was elected to the presidency. For most Americans want immigration to be determined by federal law, and they don't believe it is "racist" to deport people who are in violation of immigration law. Leaked Memo: DACA Amnesty Is 'Critical Component of Democratic Party's Future Electoral Success'. A leaked memo from the left-wing organization, the Center for American Progress Action Fund, admits that passing an amnesty for the nearly 800,000 illegal aliens shielded from deportation by the President Obama-created Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is "a critical component of the Democratic Party's future electoral success." According to the memo sent to Democrats, which is co-authored by former Hillary Clinton official Jennifer Palmieri, the Democratic Party is relying on a DACA amnesty deal — that President Trump seems more open to now than ever before — in order to ensure future wins in Congressional and presidential elections. How to Successfully Stop Illegal Immigration: Follow Israel's Model. Israel is regarded as a global leader in the fight against Islamic terrorism. Less well known is that the Jewish state has over the years contended with a major issue of regional migrants entering the country illegally and has successfully halted this infiltration to the point where not a single illegal entered in 2017, according to Israeli government statistics. "Every country has an obligation to protect its borders," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared last week while announcing new steps to deport illegal migrants currently residing in Israel. "Protecting the borders from illegal infiltration is both the right and the fundamental obligation of a sovereign country." Washington state sues Motel 6 for sharing guest data with immigration agents. Motel 6 was sued on Wednesday [1/3/2018] by Washington state's attorney general, who accused the discount hotel chain of illegally providing guest lists to U.S. immigration authorities, knowing of their interest in people with "Latino-sounding" names.
Asylum Seekers Overwhelm San Diego Border from Eritrea, Cameroon and Mexico. Migrants from countries like Eritrea, Cameroon, and Mexico have flooded the U.S. southern border in San Diego to such an extent in recent days that U.S. border officials have been unable to process them without long lines forming on the Tijuana side of the border. Nearly 100 migrants lined up in a plaza on the Mexico side of the border that leads to the San Ysidro pedestrian border crossing in San Diego last week because of the backlog, according to the San Diego Union Tribune. The one potential Census question that terrifies liberals. Liberals, in general, love the Census. It's full of questions about race and sex, the common fault lines by which liberals love to divide society. They are even adding a question to the next Census to find out your favorite kind of sex, or approximation of it. But one question liberals don't want to know is whether the person answering the census is an American. They fear that if there is a question about citizenship, that illegal aliens won't fill it out. DOJ Pushing For Citizenship Question on Census Forms: Report. The Department of Justice (DOJ) is asking the Census Bureau if a question on citizenship status could be added to 2020 census forms, according to a letter first reported by ProPublica on Friday [12/29/2017]. The DOJ letter, dated Dec. 12, said including a question on citizenship would allow the the department to better enforce the Voting Rights Act. "To fully enforce those requirements, the Department needs a reliable calculation of the citizen voting-age population in localities where voting rights violations are alleged or suspected," the letter said. New Census Data Show Big Immigration Spike. New data from the U.S. Census Bureau show legal and illegal immigration spiraled by 53 percent during the first six months of 2016, compared to 2011, the low point following the Great Recession of 2007-2009, according to an analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS). "The analysis shows that 1.03 million immigrants (legal and illegal) settled in the United States in the first six months of 2016. Based on prior patterns, a total of 1.8 million immigrants likely came in all of 2016," said Steven A. Camarota and Karen Zeigler of CIS in a report made public Thursday [12/28/2017]. The Decline and Fall of American Nationhood. It's a sad fact of man's nature that we tend to operate based on emotion more than reason. This comes to mind when considering how illegal migration, a.k.a. invasion, has now again surged back to almost Obama-era levels. Some are theorizing why this is so, looking at the micro, but an important factor is minimized: not enough people care. Oh, they care about some things: sports, entertainment, money, sex, bread and circuses. But the familial passion that should characterize a nation is largely absent. [...] When hearing about invaders streaming across our border, often with a sense of entitlement, we should be filled with righteous anger motivating us to robustly defend the homeland. We're not. Or not enough of us are. DHS Plans To Scrap Work Permits For Spouses Of H-1B Visa Holders. The Trump administration plans to rescind an Obama-era rule that allows the spouses of foreign tech workers to get jobs in the U.S. as well. In a notice published Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it would do away with with the so-called H-4 work authorization, which is granted to the spouses of H-1B visa holders. The H-4 program, which was created by the Obama administration in 2015, is currently being challenged in court as an unconstitutional exercise of presidential authority. DHS did not specify when the change would be made, saying only that "DHS is proposing to remove from its regulations certain H-4 spouses of H-1B non-immigrants as a class of aliens eligible for employment authorization." Trump Opens Up 80,000 White-Collar Jobs to Americans. The administration's decision to reverse President Barack Obama's expansion of the H-1B program has been met with criticism by advocates for cheap foreign white-collar labor. The pro-American decision by President Donald Trump's deputies will launch a lengthy regulatory process which will open up roughly 80,000 jobs to Americans graduates over the next two years. In 2015, Obama's deputies began awarding H4 work permits to the spouses of H-1B guest-workers who manage to get into the line for residency and green cards. The H4 program did not have any approval from Congress but was one part of Obama's pro-immigration strategy. Illegal Immigration Costs U.S. Taxpayers a Stunning $134.9 Billion a Year. Illegal immigration costs American taxpayers a mind-boggling $134.9 billion annually, according to a detailed analysis of federal, state and local programs that include education, medical, law enforcement and welfare. Conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), a Washington D.C. nonprofit dedicated to studying immigration issues, the in-depth probe reveals that state and local taxpayers get stuck with an overwhelming chunk — $116 billion — of the burden. State and local expenditures for services provided to illegal aliens total $88.9 billion and federal expenditures $45.8 billion, the analysis found. For those who claim illegal immigrants contribute by paying taxes, government figures show that only $19 billion was recouped by Uncle Sam. Obama blocked deportation of 550,000 illegals, more than Atlanta's population. U.S. immigration officials have revealed that they face a deportation backlog of 550,000 illegal immigrants who were given temporary amnesty by former President Obama or simply let off the hook by liberal judges. The massive backlog is being tackled by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but the sheer numbers — bigger than the populations of Atlanta or Sacramento — is overwhelming the agency's enforcement and removal department. The Impending Death of Multiculturalism. The election of Donald Trump was an unmistakable thundering proclamation that a growing majority of the people have had enough — that we do not need more social programs or more federally enforced diversity, and we certainly do not need more unskilled workers to serve an economy with an ever-shrinking number of unskilled jobs. Border crossing hits 45-year low. Illegal border crossing tumbled to a 45-year low and interior arrests of illegal immigrants soared in 2017, according to data released Tuesday that showed President Trump's enforcement crackdown netted tangible results during his first year on the job. The numbers, released by the Department of Homeland Security, reflected a stunning turnaround from the nearly nonexistent interior enforcement of immigration laws under President Obama. U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported 310,531 apprehensions nationwide in fiscal 2017, which ended Sept. 30, a decline of 25 percent from a year earlier and the lowest level since 1971. Arrests along Mexico border drop sharply under Trump, new statistics show. The number people caught trying to sneak over the border from Mexico has fallen to the lowest level in 46 years, according to Homeland Security statistics released Tuesday that offer the first comprehensive look at how immigration enforcement is changing under the Trump administration. During the government's 2017 fiscal year, which ended Sept. 30, U.S. border agents made 310,531 arrests, a decline of 24 percent from the previous year and the fewest overall since 1971. The figures show a sharp drop in arrests immediately following President Trump's election win, possibly reflecting the deterrent effect of his rhetoric on would-be border crossers, though starting in May the number of people taken into custody began increasing again. CIS: Total Immigrant Population Hits Record High of 43.7 Million in 2016. A new Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) report analyzed the latest American Community Survey (ACS) data, conducted by the Census Bureau, and found that the immigrant population (legal and illegal) hit a record high of 43.7 million in July 2016. This is an increase of half a million since 2015, an increase of 3.8 million since 2010, and 12.6 million since 2000. End the Root Cause of Illegal Immigration. There are hundreds of thousands of young-adult children of undocumented immigrants who have been here since childhood because we have allowed outlaw employers to hire and employ their parents illegally for decades. Roughly one-half of the nation's undocumented immigrant population results from visitors who entered legally but who do not leave when their time is up because Congress continues to refuse to mandate the well-tested and widely used E-Verify system. When visitors sense that illegal employment is widespread, the temptation to break their visa agreements grows stronger. E-Verify would greatly reduce the magnet for illegal labor. Worldwide, at this very moment, people are enticed to illegally cross borders and overstay their visas in search of jobs that should belong to an American or someone who came here legally. Less people from around the world would make the attempt if we could ensure employers hire only those here lawfully and have work authorization. Who Are the Real Fascists in American Politics? [Scroll down] There is nothing in [President] Trump's immigration policies that project race as a basis for entrance to the USA, nor attacking the pluralism of communities in the USA. His emphasis has been in increasing protection for U.S. citizens from Islamic enemies that see non-Sharia societies as communities to be dominated. Also, he wants to attract people with more skills, including English skills, who will not be draining the budgets of all levels of government with welfare costs. The surge in immigration of the late 19th and early 20th centuries was not supported with vast welfare programs that came out of the pockets of citizens already enjoying the economic blessings of living in the USA. It is obvious that if immigrants can dwell in their enclaves and collect various benefits, there is less incentive to engage with the indigenous culture and integrate with existing mores of the workplace and neighborhood. Hundreds Of Illegal Immigrants Rage In The Senate. Hundreds of illegal and legal immigrants descended upon the Hart Senate building Thursday afternoon [11/9/2017], gathering in mass protest of the Trump administration's decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Act. The protesters gathered in the Capitol to demand that members of Congress pass legislation for DREAMERers and DACA recipients. Protests were not relegated to solely Washington, college students across the U.S. staged organized walkouts and rallys [sic] Thursday. Official: Admin Open To Amnesty Deal For Non-DACA Illegals. The Trump administration is open to an amnesty for illegal immigrants not covered under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program, according to an administration official. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, was talking to reporters Monday about the Department of Homeland Security's decision regarding Temporary Protected Status for roughly 86,000 Hondurans and 5,300 Nicaraguans. The two nations have received TPS since 1999 and it gives them access to public benefits, protection from deportation and the ability to work. The program is designed for immigrants who can't return to their home country due to a disaster of sorts, both Honduras and Nicaragua were hit by Hurricane Mitch in 1998. Donald Trump's administration set to deport 300,000 refugees from US. Donald Trump's government has announced around 300,000 refugees living in the country can be deported over the next few months. The US State Department said that Central Americans and Haitians granted temporary status, some who have lived in the country for 20 years, could now be sent to their home countries. They had originally been given Temporary Protected Status because their nations had been deemed unstable due to armed conflict and natural disasters. Top
9 Immigration Objectives Paul Ryan is Blocking. [House Speaker] Ryan is said to be using the humungous year-end
spending bill as a Trojan Horse to conceal an amnesty plan for nearly 800,000 illegal aliens. Fortunately, as
Breitbart's John Binder reports, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) appears to be organizing serious opposition to Ryan's
plan. [...] Binder also notes that Ryan's plan fails to address any of President Donald Trump's popular immigration
priorities: Illegal Immigrant Shocked at Deportation Arrest After Failing to Appear in Court. An illegal immigrant from Mexico appears to be surprised that immigrants officials arrested him after he failed to appear for hearings for three years. The Mexican man had been given a second chance by an immigration judge in 2013 who stopped a deportation order. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Enforcement Removal Operations (ERO) officers arrested Luis Plaza Moreno, 44, at an immigration office in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, earlier this week. Moreno went to the office to renew a work permit, The Oklahoman reported. Coffee Shop to Hire Only Refugees — What About Out-Of-Work Americans? What is it with coffee shops and their desire to selectively hire a certain class of people? [...] These are refugees who are mostly Muslim. These are not illegals. Think about the illegals that came to San Diego in 2016! So there are two NEEDY groups coming to America in droves that need jobs. This is unsustainable! First a Starbucks' hiring event in San Diego, now a little start-up coffee shop plans to open in Louisiana and hire refugees and political asylees. What? No needy americans looking for jobs in Baton Rouge? Illegal Aliens are Costing Taxpayers Untold Dollars Even Before Going to Trial. The average cost per day, per inmate in a county jail in the state of Kentucky is $40.41. As of the date of this article, Gonzalez has cost the taxpayers of Louisville approximately $5,200, and by his next court date (11/29/2017), that figure will have grown to $6,560. Remember, that is only calculating incarceration costs, when one adds in court costs, providing him with a public defender and likely an interpreter, he will have cost the law-abiding citizens a great deal more. This is only one inmate, who, of course, is not the only illegal alien sitting in this particular jail. Now, extrapolate that to city and county jails all over the country (For example, North Carolina has 100 counties.), as illegal aliens, and their crimes have spread to every corner of this nation, and it's not difficult to see how much this ongoing invasion is costing that ever-shrinking class of taxpaying Americans. Left Celebrates 'Justice' After 17-Year-Old Illegal Immigrant Has Abortion. After much persistence from the American Civil Liberties Union and the #JusticeforJane social media campaign, news broke Wednesday morning that the 17-year-old illegal immigrant "Jane Doe," who was being held in a Texas detention center, was able to obtain her "constitutionally-protected right" to have an abortion. Census Bureau: 44.6% in California Don't Speak English at Home; 35.6% in Texas. In California — which with a July 2016 population of 39,250,017 is the nation's most populous state — 44.6 percent of the people five years of age and older do not speak English at home, according to data released this week by the Census Bureau. At the same time, according to the Census Bureau, 18.6 percent of California residents 5 and older do not speak English "very well." That ranks California No. 1 among the states for the percentage of people in both of these categories. Nationwide, 21.6 percent speak a language other than English at home and 8.6 percent speak English less than very well. The Issue That Could Lose the Next Election for Democrats. [Scroll down] This is, to be blunt, political suicide. The Democrats' current position seems to be that the Dreamer parents who broke the law are near heroes, indistinguishable from the children they brought with them; and their rhetoric is very hard to distinguish, certainly for most swing voters, from a belief in open borders. In fact, the Democrats increasingly seem to suggest that any kind of distinction between citizens and noncitizens is somehow racist. You could see this at the last convention, when an entire evening was dedicated to Latinos, illegal and legal, as if the rule of law were largely irrelevant. Hence the euphemism "undocumented" rather than "illegal." So the stage was built, lit, and set for Trump. 5 shocking immigration trends ignored by the political class. If you walk the halls of D.C. think tanks and Swamp organizations, you might think we have a crisis of not enough immigrants. They always extol the virtues of more immigration without any consideration of the costs or whether these immigrants are assimilating into our culture or trying to take it over. The Center for Immigration Studies released a new report this week on immigration trends that blows sky-high all the myths perpetuated by the open-borders political establishment. It demonstrates that we are in uncharted waters and that the current trajectory will immutably transform America into something unrecognizable. What else MUST we provide to illegal aliens? U.S. Citizen: "I'm getting very, very tired of illegal aliens issuing lists of demands". Do you help people who do this to you? Or do you tell them to go away? These people are not "immigrants": per federal law, they are illegal aliens, and the law requires that they receive a small fine and be deported. Two Million Foreigners To Get Work Permits in 2017. The number of foreign workers getting work permits for U.S. jobs will hit 2 million this year, partly because President Donald Trump's deputies have reduced only a few of President Barack Obama's foreign-worker programs and policies. Roughly 2 million foreigners will get temporary work permits, dubbed "Employment Authorization Documents," or EADS, during 2017, despite administration efforts to cut back some of the many business-backed foreign-worker programs, according to two sets of data released by the Department of Homeland Security. Trump unveils new strict 70-point immigration enforcement plan. Determined to finally solve illegal immigration, the White House submitted a 70-point enforcement plan to Congress Sunday proposing the stiffest reforms ever offered by an administration — including a massive rewrite of the law in order to eliminate loopholes illegal immigrants have exploited to gain a foothold in the U.S. The plans, seen by The Washington Times, include President Trump's calls for a border wall, more deportation agents, a crackdown on sanctuary cities and stricter limits to chain migration — all issues the White House says need to be part of any bill Congress passes to legalize illegal immigrant "Dreamers" currently protected by the Obama-era deportation amnesty known as DACA. Democrats promise to derail Congress until Dream Act passes. Leading Hispanic Democrats said Monday they're so disappointed in President Trump's new 70-point immigration enforcement plan that they'll withhold support for must-pass legislation in Congress until lawmakers work out a better deal to protect illegal immigrants. "They are not going to have Democrats to get them over the finish line on anything they need," said Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, chairwoman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. She and fellow Democrats, on a conference call with reporters, said Mr. Trump's demand for a border wall, a crackdown on sanctuary cities, more deportation agents and a rewrite of a number of loopholes that have allowed illegal immigrants to gain a foothold in the U.S. are all non-starters. Good News: Interior Deportations Under Trump Are Surging. We can call this the Trump Effect On Illegal Immigration. Deportations from those caught crossing the border have declined, as fewer attempt to cross the U.S.-Mexico border because of the harsh measures Team Trump has implemented (meaning they are enforcing the laws on the books), which includes catching and deporting illegals already in the country[.] Democrats' Leftward Shift and Its Impact on 2020. [Scroll down] Democrats weren't always as willing to embrace immigrants as positive contributors to the country. From 1994 until 1996, a majority of Democrats agreed with the statement that immigrants "are a burden on our country because they take our jobs, housing and health care." In fact, Democrats and Republicans were aligned on this sentiment for much of the 1990s. It wasn't until 1999 that more Democrats believed that "immigrants strengthen our country because of their hard work and talents" than believed immigrants were a drain on U.S. resources. But, it wasn't until 2010, when a majority of Democrats (54 percent) saw immigrants in a positive light. That sentiment has only intensified since. In 2017, 62 percent of Democrats saw immigrants as an asset instead of a burden. Feds Slap Tree Company With $95 Million Penalty For Hiring Illegal Aliens. A national tree services company will have to pay a a record fine after admitting that it engaged in a scheme to hire illegal aliens, federal prosecutors announced Thursday [9/28/2017]. Asplundh Tree Expert Co., a suburban Philadelphia-based contractor that trims and removes trees around power lines, pleaded guilty Thursday to a federal criminal charge and was ordered to pay a total of $95 million, the biggest penalty ever levied in an immigration case. Federal Judge John R. Padova ordered the company to pay a criminal forfeiture judgment of $80 million, plus a $15 million civil penalty to satisfy additional civil claims for failure to follow immigration law. GOP Sens. Blunt and Moran Offer Green Cards to Outsource More White-Collar Jobs. GOP Senators Roy Blunt and Jerry Moran have introduced legislation which would outsource another 125,000 white-collar jobs to foreigners each year. The outsourcing bill is being pitched as a pro-technology, pro-entrepreneurship bill even though many young and middle-aged Americans in the two Senators' home states of Missouri and Kansas are already working with technology or as entrepreneurs. The outsourcing bill is dubbed the "Startup Act," and it closely models prior bills sought by the high-tech sector, where executives and investors are working to raise profits by further reducing the salaries paid to American college graduates and technology experts. Illegal Border Crossings Surge with Talk of Amnesty. After reaching a 17- year low in April border apprehensions have made a 60% increase over the summer, in opposition to historic trends that usually see a reduction in the late summer months. This increase comes as talks about granting amnesty for Dreamers has made national headlines. According to the latest USCIS report, 30,567 border crossers were caught in August, up from 25,025 in July. The number of unaccompanied minors (UACs) apprehended at the border also increased from 2,481 in July to 2,994 in August. 4,645 family units were caught in August up from 3,389 in July. While the Trump administration officially ended the DACA program at the beginning of the month Pres. Trump has voiced his support for granting amnesty to the nearly 800,000 illegal aliens enrolled in the program. He even met with Democratic leaders Sen. Schumer and Rep. Pelosi to supposedly iron out an amnesty deal. Simon Rosenberg Makes The Most Ridiculous Economic Defense of Illegal Aliens. Welcome to the dimension of bizarro world that is so far away from reality it creates it's own gravity and inverts itself. This position is actually being broadcast on national television. Simon Rosenberg appeared on Tucker Carlson's TV show to defend illegal immigration. In his position he attempts an economic defense that he has carefully written out for recitation. [Video clip] DOJ files suit against company for allegedly not hiring Americans. The Department of Justice announced Thursday [9/28/2017] it has filed a lawsuit against a Colorado corporation for allegedly discriminating against U.S. workers. The complaint alleges that in 2016, Crop Production discriminated against at least three United States citizens by refusing to employ them as seasonal technicians in El Campo, Texas, because Crop Production preferred to hire temporary foreign workers under the H-2A visa program. Costs of Immigration Greater Than FAIR Survey Shows. Americans have long been aware of the high fiscal costs of illegal immigration, but those who argue that this surge of illegal immigration is somehow good for the country have often countered that illegal aliens pay taxes to all levels of government, off-setting these outlays. But FAIR's report ably refuted that argument, demonstrating that illegal aliens pay about $19 billion in taxes, resulting in an overall net loss to the taxpayer of $116 billion. What is particularly perverse about this situation is that state and local governments bear most of the burden, while the federal government collects the most in taxes! Costs to state and local governments was pegged at more than $88 billion, but costs to the federal government was much less, at $45 billion. Of the nearly $19 billion in taxes, however, paid by undocumented aliens, about $15.5 billion goes to the federal treasury, with a mere $3.5 billion to state and local governments. Yet as state governments struggle to deal with the financial burden imposed upon them by this surge in illegal immigration, they find themselves lectured to by those at the federal level about how they should be more hospitable to illegal aliens. Operation Regional Shield — 3,800 Gang Members in U.S., El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras Charged. Senior law enforcement officials from the United States, El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras announced here today criminal charges against more than 3,800 MS-13 and 18th Street gang members in the United States and Central America in a coordinated law enforcement action known as Operation Regional Shield. The charges were announced by Acting Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Blanco of the United States, Attorney General Douglas Meléndez of El Salvador, Attorney General Thelma Aldana of Guatemala, and Attorney General Oscar Chinchilla of Honduras, marking the six-month anniversary of the commitment to combat transnational organized crime initiated in March by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, together with the Attorneys General of the three Central American countries. It's About Time — Employer Hit by $96 Million Penalty for Hiring Illegal Aliens. [Scroll down] This was not a garden-variety illegal alien hiring violation, according to court documents. As a result of an E-Verify check, some 100 Asplundh workers were identified as not being in the country legally and were laid off by the firm. Then some of them were knowingly rehired under new, phony names bearing new, phony documents. The information filed against the company cited four examples of this double-dealing, with, for instance, a worker who had been Danny Palao prior to his being laid off, being rehired as Jose Feliciano. Employer Hit with $100 Million Penalty for Hiring Illegal Aliens. Asplundh, the tree-trimming company, has been hit by a $96 million penalty for hiring (and rehiring) illegal alien workers. According to the federal prosecutors it is the largest payment ever levied in an immigration case. The company pled guilty to criminal charges in a federal court in Pennsylvania, where its headquarters is located, apparently moving swiftly to minimize the damage to the corporation's image. As a result of the guilty plea, there will not be a public trial. Report: Illegal Aliens Cost US Taxpayers An Average Of $8,075 Per Illegal. It doesn't matter for most supporters of illegal aliens, because they are looking for new Democratic Party voters, and especially ones who will be reliant of Los Federales for everything, making them beholden to the Government. Record $135 billion a year for illegal immigration, average $8,075 each, $25,000 in NY. The swelling population of illegal immigrants and their kids is costing American taxpayers $135 billion a year, the highest ever, driven by free medical care, education and a huge law enforcement bill, according to the the most authoritative report on the issue yet. And despite claims from pro-illegal immigration advocates that the aliens pay significant off-setting taxes back to federal, state and local treasuries, the Federation for American Immigration Reform report tallied just $19 billion, making the final hit to taxpayers about $116 billion. State and local governments are getting ravaged by the costs, at over $88 billion. The federal government, by comparison, is getting off easy at $45 billion in costs for illegals. Illegals rush the border for Trump's promise of amnesty. During the first few months of Trump's presidency, border crossings declined to the lowest level in a generation. Now, new data from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shows that border crossings have spiked for the past four consecutive months, despite the hot weather, which usually causes an annual drop in border crossings in the summer. It's quite obvious that the initial perception of Trump as a strict law enforcer has been revised in the eyes of potential migrants, following Trump's promise to pass amnesty within the next six months. When will the political class finally learn the lessons of failed amnesty and place the security of Americans first — before any discussion of amnesty? The Deranged Origin of Multiculturalism. With their eyes fixed on reality, both Martin Luther King Jr and Booker T. Washington, we should remember, were against illegal immigration — an idol for the multiculturalist intellectual — because they knew it was awful for the poor, and for black Americans in particular, who most felt the effects of the general devaluing of "unskilled labor." It is a vital question: Just how "inclusive" should we be? They weep very loudly, the leveling relativists, but still the nation must ask itself: Who is more important, the poor of El Paso, Texas or the poor of Juarez, Mexico? We realists, we patriots choose the first. Dreamer citizenship rights could swell immigrant number to 1.5 million. Granting citizenship rights to 700,000 Dreamers really means giving a foothold in the U.S. to perhaps 1.5 million other future immigrants, according to analysts who urged Congress to weigh the implications fully before pressing ahead with a mass legalization program. Chain migration — the ability for the Dreamers to sponsor relatives, including their parents who broke the law by bringing them to the U.S. — is one of a number of issues President Trump and congressional leaders will have to work out as they reach for a deal on Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, the Obama-era amnesty that the administration is phasing out. State Department Slaps Visa Restrictions On Countries That Won't Take Back Deportees. The Trump administration hit four countries with visa sanctions Wednesday [9/13/2017] as punishment for refusing to take back their citizens that U.S. is trying to deport. In a series of diplomatic cables obtained by Reuters, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson outlined new visa restrictions on Eritrea, Cambodia, Guinea and Sierra Leone. The countries are among a dozen that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had previously deemed "recalcitrant" in the repatriation of criminal aliens. The four countries are "denying or unreasonably delaying" the return of their citizens from the U.S., and visa restrictions will only be lifted if they begin normal acceptance of deportees, according to Tillerson's orders. Trump cuts off visas for countries that refuse deported immigrants. The Trump administration announced Wednesday [9/13/2017] it has ordered the State Department to limit certain visas for Cambodia, Eritrea, Guinea, and Sierra Leone because those countries have refused to accept the return of its nationals who are deported from the United States. Report: 600,000 Illegal Immigrants Live in Houston Area. In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, reports claim that about 600,000 illegal immigrants live in the Houston area. The issue came up as some media outlets expressed concern about the illegal immigrants' status in emergency shelters and their eligibility to obtain federal assistance to rebuild homes destroyed by the devastating floodwaters dumped in the storm's wake. "The Houston metro area is home to about 600,000 undocumented immigrants," the Texas Tribune reported. in an article about Hurricane Harvey rescue efforts. The article expressed concerns that illegal immigrants seeking shelter might be rounded up by immigration officials. Paul Ryan Won't Rule Out Full DACA Amnesty, Claims 'Attacks from Breitbart' a Constant. In an interview with the Associated Press (AP) Wednesday [9/13/2017], Speaker of the House Paul Ryan refused to rule out citizenship for so-called "dreamers" and then complained of "attacks from Breitbart." "Is the speaker supporting legislation that will give DACA recipients a chance for citizenship?" a viewer question to Ryan read, with AP Chief Congressional Correspondent Erica Werner adding, "Do you believe your conference would accept that?" Ryan would not state that this "path to citizenship," an amnesty for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of illegal aliens that has been rejected by Congress every time it has been proposed for more than 15 years, was off the table. Mexico doesn't want you back — just keep sending money. Tired of sob stories? Here's some tales you might not have seen. Have you read enough sob stories about "Dreamers" yet? Amazing, isn't it, that the United States was somehow able not only to survive but also to prosper and thrive for almost 200 years before the massive invasion by the Third World began after Ted Kennedy's Immigration Reform Act of 1965. How did we get along with all these wonderful illegal immigrants who are, after all, only committing the crimes Americans can't be bothered committing anymore? Check Out How Much Illegals Have Cost Us These Past 10 Years. Annually, according to the Center for Immigration Studies, the lost taxes bill is about $30 billion, enough to fund the average middle income tax cut the Trump administration is considering, about $300. That comes on top of wage losses to legal workers of $118 billion when companies illegally hire undocumented aliens, said CIS. The financial hit to Americans and the Treasury could impact President Trump's bid to tackle illegal immigration and boost jobs and wages for Americans. In addition, it is part of the administration's consideration of continuing the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a program that has given legal status to 800,000 young adults, may of whom are employed in the U.S. Nine Illegal Immigrants Arrested at Trump Tower Protest in NYC. Just moments after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that President Donald Trump is rescinding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, nine illegal immigrants and three US citizens were arrested near Trump Tower in NYC for sitting in the road and blocking traffic. Report: Illegal immigration costs $296 billion in lost taxes. Tax credits received by illegal immigrants and wage write-offs U.S companies claim in their illegal employment costs the Treasury $296 billion over 10 years, according to a new report that is urging Congress to crackdown on the loopholes. Annually, according to the Center for Immigration Studies, the lost taxes bill is about $30 billion, enough to fund the average middle income tax cut the Trump administration is considering, about $300. That comes on top of wage losses to legal workers of $118 billion when companies illegally hire undocumented aliens, said CIS. US border agents finds smuggling tunnel spanning US-Mexico border and arrest 23 Chinese nationals and seven Mexicans. US border patrol agents discovered a new hidden tunnel running from Mexico that led to the arrest of 30 illegal immigrants. Around 1.30am on Saturday [8/26/2017], agents patrolling at the Otay Mesa Port of Entry in San Diego, California, saw a group of several dozen people and tried to approach them for questioning. 200,000 deportation cases quietly 'closed' under Obama. During the Obama era up to 200,000 deportation cases were "administratively closed" without action, a move that left tens of thousands of illegal immigrants free to roam America, sometimes indefinitely, according to a new report. When added to those cases still pending court action, it brings the backlog of cases to about 800,000, far more than previously known. In the report for the Center for Immigration Studies, former immigration judge Andrew R. Arthur said that there are some 100,000 cases that were closed, but told [the Washington Examiner] that it could be as high as 200,000. Undocumented Immigrants Land on San Diego Shores, 12 People Arrested in Ocean Attempts. Federal agents detained a dozen undocumented immigrants from Central America early Thursday [8/24/2017] after spotting them in the ocean aboard a pair of small fishing boats, headed for landings in Mission Beach and Sunset Cliffs. The first of the two unsuccessful human-smuggling runs came to light shortly before 2:30 a.m., when a camera operator at the multi-agency Joint Harbor Operations Center on San Diego Harbor spotted a crowded skiff offshore from Belmont Park and notified the U.S. Border Patrol, according to USBP public affairs. 4 countries sanctioned because of refusal to accept deported immigrants. A Homeland Security spokesman said Wednesday that a "variety of factors" went into the decision to impose sanctions on four countries that refuse to cooperate with the U.S. government when it comes to taking back their illegal and criminal immigrants. The "Poor Illegal" Media Narrative and Why It's Not Working. It is not compassionate to Americans or immigrants to allow illegal aliens to ignore our laws. The corruption rampant in Los Angeles County and throughout other major urban areas follows from the arbitrary disregard for our nation's legal sovereignty and cultural integrity. The liberal, marginalized national media still wants to push an illegal alien sob story narrative at all costs. Look over the list below of the latest sob stories the national readership endured over the past week (and month): [...] ACLU sues Trump administration over arrests of immigrant teens. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a class action lawsuit against President Trump's administration over the detention of immigrant teenagers for "unsubstantiated claims of gang affiliation." The lawsuit, announced on Friday [8/11/2017], targets Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement. In a press release, the ACLU accuses ICE and the Office of Refugee Resettlement of detaining children and transporting them to detention facilities without notifying their parents or lawyers. This is what warrants are for: Mexican Econ Minister Threatens To Flood U.S. With Illegals If We Don't Give Them A Good NAFTA Deal. When candidate Donald Trump first proposed renegotiating NAFTA back in 2015 everyone was stunned. Fixing bad trade deals had never been proposed by any candidate. Candidate Trump also proposed a border wall. Those two policy initiatives are entirely connected. Almost immediately the government of Mexico realized the potential impact and threatened to use illegal migration if NAFTA was reopened. 86 Guatemalans Arrested at Texas Border in Single Incident. As the surge of illegal aliens continues to mount in South Texas, Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Sector capped off a busy day by arresting one group of 86 illegal aliens and seizing more than $1 million worth of marijuana. Agents also carried out a rescue of an illegal alien lost in the brush and, unfortunately, recovered the remains of another migrant who was not as lucky. All of these incidents occurred in the RGV Sector on Monday [8/7/2017]. The INSANE cost of illegal immigration. On Tuesday [7/31/2017], the Justice Department announced how many illegal aliens are currently clogging American jail cells — and the cost to taxpayers is absolutely head-spinning. "Out of the 187,855 inmates in (federal) custody, 42,034 are foreign-born," according to the report, which was obtained by The Horn News. That's almost one-in-four. Tens of thousands of prisoners, who committed felonies, are in this country illegally. They committed a serious crime, got sent to the federal pen... and they're costing taxpayers billions of dollars each year. Worse, that just includes prisoners held in jails run by the federal Bureau of Prisons — the 42,034 doesn't count most prisoners in state, city, or county prisons. L.A. County Paid Out $1.3 Billion In Welfare To Illegal Aliens. On the bright side, it's expected that the Los Angeles County will spend $200 million less in 2017, as fewer illegal aliens arrive and more have left, mostly due to allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to do their job, to enforce the laws that are on the books, unfettered by politicians and political appointees. We keep being told that illegal aliens are a boon for our economy. Well, the illegals are getting $3 in benefits for every $1 they spend. It sure seems that they are more of a drain on taxpayer money that giving more back. Despite uproar, Trump's immigration proposal resembles 10 other merit-based policies. President Trump's call Wednesday [8/2/2017] for a merit-based immigration system sent critics and much of the media into a tizzy, but what he proposed is common in many parts of the world. The proposed system, contained in a Senate bill, would replace one largely based on extended family ties with one that prioritizes education, English language proficiency, age, vocational skills and high-paying job offers as well as considering any criminal record and possible national security risks. "The idea of using a point system to select immigrants is a completely conventional idea," Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based Center for Immigration Studies, said. Deportation vs. the Cost of Letting Illegal Immigrants Stay. The findings of this analysis show that the average cost of a deportation is much smaller than the net fiscal drain created by the average illegal immigrant. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported the average deportation cost as $10,854 in FY 2016. In FY 2012, ICE removed 71 percent more aliens with a similar budget, creating an average inflation-adjusted cost of $5,915. This compares to an average lifetime net fiscal drain (taxes paid minus services used) of $65,292 for each illegal immigrant, excluding their descendants. This net figure is based on fiscal estimates of immigrants by education level from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NAS). The total fiscal drain for the entire illegal population is estimated at $746.3 billion. Even Fourth-Generation Mexicans Are Failing. [Scroll down] The UCLA researchers found, by doing a multiple regression analysis of the factors correlated with years of schooling, that "... rather than improvements in education in subsequent generations since immigration, as assimilation theory predicts, we find quite the opposite. ... Greater parental education, household income, social and cultural capital, and fewer children all contribute to more schooling. However, when these factors are held constant, the highest levels of schooling are for those who immigrated as children but were educated in the United States and the lowest for the grandchildren and the great-grandchildren of immigrants." The people of Mexican descent who show the most enthusiasm for school relative to their resources appear to be the "1.5 generation" — those who came from Mexico as small children. In Praise of the Raise Act. The American Dream is at least as fundamental to our national identity as the "nation of immigrants" theme. The collapse of wages described above threatens to create a near permanent underclass for whom the American Dream is always out of reach. The RAISE Act seeks to vindicate the American Dream while permitting historical levels of immigration. It does so by placing the priority on high-skilled immigrant — immigrants who won't squeeze the wages of our low-skilled workers, but who instead will spur innovation, create jobs, and make America more competitive. Latest Sob Story: Brothers Deported For Telling ICE One Was Going To College. Illegal migrants get deported. That's true around the world. What is so shocking in the US is that people are shocked that people who are in the US illegally are made to leave. Democrats Don't Actually Believe in Democracy. Democrats seem to think that foreigners who violate our laws have a greater right to determine what will be America's laws than actual Americans. After all, that's their argument when they whine because some illegal is getting shipped back to his Third World hellhole-of-origin. They seem to think that just because some uninvited, unwanted, unlegal trespasser (we're not supposed to call them "illegal," right?) has been violating our laws for an exceptionally long period of time makes his offense less offensive. Texas Attorney General Paxton: We must phase out DACA and return to the rule of law. During Texas's successful lawsuit against DAPA, we learned that DACA recipients have even been given Green Cards, and thus a pathway to citizenship — despite the Obama administration's initial pledge that DACA does not confer such a legal path to citizenship. Apart from a pathway to citizenship, DACA allows aliens to leave and re-enter the country, removes eligibility bars from Social Security, Medicare, and the Earned Income Tax Credit, and confers eligibility for state benefits such as driver's licenses and unemployment insurance. As of August 2016, more than 220,000 unlawfully present aliens in Texas applied for a permit or a renewal of one under DACA, and nearly 200,000 of those were approved. Why is it up to us to pay for this? Donald Trump announces new immigration policy favouring financially stable English speakers. President Donald Trump is touting new legislation to overhaul the US immigration system, drastically cutting the number of legal immigrants allowed into the country and implementing a "merit-based" visa scheme. If passed, the RAISE Act would cut the number of immigrants allowed into the United States by 50 percent over the next 10 years. It would eliminate diversity lottery visas and crack down on so-called "chain immigration" — visas provided based on family connections, rather than jobs skills. Mr Trump promoted the act alongside Senators Tom Cotton and David Perdue on Wednesday [8/2/2017], claiming it would "reduce poverty, increase wages, and save taxpayers billions and billions of dollars". Former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio Is Convicted of Criminal Contempt. Former Sheriff Joe Arpaio was convicted on Monday of defying a court order to stop rounding up immigrants, and he may face jail time — another rebuke for a once-popular politician who was voted out of office last year. In 24 years as sheriff of Maricopa County, Ariz., Mr. Arpaio built a national reputation for harsh conditions in his county jail, and for his campaign against undocumented immigrants; his deputies detained people solely based on a belief that they were in the country illegally, and then turn them over to immigration authorities for deportation. In December 2011, a federal district judge hearing a racial profiling lawsuit ruled that the immigration detentions were illegal and ordered the sheriff to halt them — an order that was upheld by an appeals court and reinforced by another district court order in 2013. But Mr. Arpaio vowed, publicly and repeatedly, that the roundups would continue, and they did. Arpaio plans to appeal criminal contempt conviction over detention of illegal immigrants. Joe Arpaio was found guilty Monday of criminal contempt for defying a judge's order to stop detaining illegal immigrants, but the former sheriff isn't going down without a fight. Shortly after U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton issued her verdict, Arpaio attorney Jack Wilenchik said the longtime lawman of Maricopa County, Arizona, once known as "America's toughest sheriff," plans to appeal and press for a jury trial. "Joe Arpaio is in this for the long haul, and he will continue his fight to vindicate himself, to prove his innocence and to protect the public," Mr. Wilenchik said in a statement. Ten Accomplishments By John Kelly At Homeland Security. [#1] He sidelined most of the top staff picked by Obama and allowed the department's border and enforcement agents to actually enforce the nation's immigration law. The result is that more than 70,000 illegals have been sent home by motivated agents, including many of the MS-13 gang members invited by Obama to live in the United States since 2011. 'Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime,' ICE acting director says. The horrific incident involving dozens of immigrants allegedly smuggled into the U.S. in a sweltering tractor-trailer is proof that illegal immigration is "not a victimless crime," the acting head of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) told Fox News on Monday [7/24/2017]. "It's a message I've been trying to get out as long as I've been the acting ICE director," Thomas Homan said on "Your World with Neil Cavuto." Cortez: 'That Truck with dead illegals could have been filled with terrorists'. James Matthew Bradley, Jr., the driver of an 18-wheeler that was found parked in a sweltering hot Walmart parking lot with up to 100 Mexican nationals inside its unairconditioned trailer, 10 of which pronounced dead, faced a Texas judge on charges Monday [7/24/2017]. A federal court charged the Clearwater, Florida man with one count of 'transporting illegal aliens.' Massachusetts Supreme Court Rules Police [are] Not Allowed to Follow Federal Law. The glorious progressive secession movement from the United States continues. If Obama were in office, we would be hearing lots of talk about the Confederacy. But since it's a Republican in the White House, treason is patriotic again. Also Massachusetts cops are not allowed to follow Federal law. Obama had already decided that Arizona is not allowed to enforce Federal immigration laws. Now the highest court in MA has decided that police are not allowed to follow Federal law either. DOJ, DHS Deny Aid to Family of Wounded ICE Agent While Bankrolling Extradition of Cartel Member's Family. The U.S. government has denied financial support to the family of a federal agent who was severely wounded in a 2011 ambush by a Mexican drug cartel but at the same time has subsidized housing expenses for the family of a hit-squad member who assisted in the shootout that left another officer dead. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agent who survived the attack, Victor Avila, said the Department of Homeland Security refused to fund hotel, travel, and per diem expenses for his wife and two children during the two-week trial of two men accused in his attempted murder, which began in Washington, D.C., this week. DHS told Avila it did not have a "funding mechanism" to pay for the expenses. Avila ultimately fronted the costs for his family to accompany him during the trial after raising safety concerns to DHS and Department of Justice officials. Border Patrol raids Arizona desert camp that helps illegal immigrants. U.S. Border Patrol agents served a search warrant at a non-profit aid camp in the southern Arizona desert Thursday and arrested four Mexican men suspected of being in the country illegally. The camp, about 11 miles north of the Mexican border, provides medical care for immigrants crossing into the U.S. across the miles-long Sonoran Desert. It has been in operation since 2004, run by the organization No Mas Muertes (No More Deaths).  Black's Law Dictionary, Fifth Edition, 1979, page 5. 5 million immigrants granted US citizenship can't speak English. In a stunning indictment of the system that tests immigrants on their eligibility to become "naturalized citizens," a new report finds that a third are functionally illiterate, unable to speak and understand enough English to get that status. Some 32 percent of naturalized citizens, about 5 million, fall below "basic" skills in English, the equivalent of being functionally illiterate, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies. The report is a follow on to one that found 67 percent of immigrants in the United States for 15 years or more can't speak much English. ICE Director Says There Could Be More Than 12 Million Illegals In US. Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas Homan said he isn't sure exactly how many illegal immigrants are in the U.S. There could be more than 11 to 12 million in the country, he said. No matter how many there are, Homan said that President Donald Trump's executive orders have put every illegal immigrant (except those covered by President Obama's amnesty for illegal aliens who arrived as minors) up for deportation. He recently spoke at a White House press briefing in which he said that no illegal immigrant should "be comfortable," and he reiterated that message during Tuesday's [7/11/2017] interview. La Raza Rebrands as 'Unidos US'. The National Council of La Raza announced that it will change its name to UnidosUs, AP reports. President Janet Murguia described "La Raza" as an outdated term that did not resonate with its members. AP exclusively translates "Raza" as "the people" in its report. However, the term can also be interpreted as "the race," which carries a suggestion of zero-sum ethnic conflict. Texas is getting a new 'sanctuary cities' law, and the Mexican government isn't happy. Senate Bill 4, signed on May 7, gives greater freedom to local Texas police to ask people, who have been detained, about their immigration status, and mandates cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Officials who don't comply could be fined or even jailed. The bill has become a national flash point in an already hyperpartisan debate over the rights of immigrants and the government's ability to press them on their legal status. Advocates of the law point to measures meant to increase safety, while critics worry about eroding protections and triggering negative diplomatic and economic consequences. Can Trump Win His Fight Against Leftist Judges And Open-Border Radicals Over Immigration? A battle is brewing between the federal government's right to enforce U.S. immigration laws and some cities' and blue states' desire to provide "sanctuary" for illegal immigrants in the U.S. But unlike the past four presidents, Donald Trump is willing, even eager, to fight this battle. Trump urges passage of House immigration bills that would impose strict prison sentences on deportees who re-enter the country and defund sanctuary cities. President Donald Trump is urging the House to stiffen the punishment for people who re-enter the U.S. illegally and for 'sanctuary' cities and states that refuse to cooperate with federal deportation forces. He met people the White House identifies as 'immigration crime victims' on Wednesday [6/28/2017] as part of a push for passage of two pieces of legislation he said would cut down on the number of gang members, drug dealers and terrorists in the US. Supreme Court: Immigrants Who Lie to Feds to Become Citizens May Lose Citizenship. The Supreme Court on Thursday held that federal law authorizes courts to strip immigrant citizens of their U.S. citizenship if they obtained it as a result of making false statements to the federal government. Federal law found at 18 U.S.C. §1425(a) makes it a crime to "knowingly procur[e], contrary to law, the naturalization of any person" to become a U.S. citizen. Moreover, a second federal statute, 8 U.S.C. §1451(e) adds that a foreigner who obtains U.S. citizenship through such a violation will lose that newly granted citizenship. 1.4 million illegals working under stolen Social Security numbers: Audit. Most illegal immigrants who pay taxes have stolen someone else's legal identity, and the IRS doesn't do a very good job of letting those American citizens and legal immigrants know they're being impersonated, the tax agency's inspector general said in a new report released Thursday [6/22/2017]. The theft creates major problems for the American citizens and legal foreign workers whose identities are stolen, and who have to deal with explaining money they never earned. But the IRS only manages to identify half of the potentially 1.4 million people likely affected by the fraud in 2015, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration said in its report. Trump wants to ban immigrants from accessing welfare within five years of entering the US. President Donald Trump has said he will pursue legislation that would bar immigrants from being eligible for welfare for at least five years. At a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, last night he said 'the time has come' for 'new immigration rules' that would require those seeking admission to the country to be able to support themselves financially and would bar the use of welfare for a period of at least five years. Trump in Iowa: President calls for barring immigrants from welfare for five years. President Trump announced Wednesday night that he will soon ask Congress to pass legislation banning immigrants from accessing public assistance within five years of entering the U.S. "The time has come for new immigration rules that say ... those seeking immigration into our country must be able to support themselves financially and should not use welfare for a period of at least five years," Trump told a campaign-style rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The Editor says... Six-time Deportee Arrested in Texas. An illegal immigrant deported six times prior from the United States is facing deportation again after crossing the U.S.-Mexico Border. Agustin Jorge Figueroa-Garcia, a 29 of Mexico, was caught by federal immigration agents with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency in Texas, according to News4 San Antonio. The Editor says... Civil War on the Left, Part 41: Democrats and Immigration'. Peter Beinart, a smart center-left writer once affiliated with The New Republic before it went crazy, nowadays is at The Atlantic, and he has a barn-burner of an essay out today on the subject, "How the Democrats Lost Their Way on Immigration." It is a long article, but very much worth reading the whole thing. The point is, Beinart honestly confronts the craven partisan political calculation behind the liberal line on immigration, and he goes through the serious substantive economic and social reasons why liberals should be in favor of managing immigration in the interests of American workers — as they did not that long ago. How the Democrats lost their way on immigration. If the right has grown more nationalistic, the left has grown less so. A decade ago, liberals publicly questioned immigration in ways that would shock many progressives today. Stop making everything a moral issue. Immigration is not a moral issue. America controls America's borders. Ellis Island was not an open arms invitation to the world, because it was a way station where we screened the people we did not want. Anarchists, criminals, and other burdens on society were sent back where they came from. There is no moral right to come to America as a visitor or as an immigrant. Border Patrol Ordered to "Negotiate" with Illegal Immigrants in Arizona. Despite President Trump's pledge to tighten border security[,] Border Patrol agents in one of the nation's busiest sectors for illegal immigrants and drugs were ordered this week to stand back after a surveillance camera recorded a group entering the U.S. from Mexico, federal law enforcement sources told Judicial Watch. The incident occurred in the vast desert terrain between Arizona and Mexico, Border Patrol officials said. Trump scraps Obama policy that protected immigrant parents from deportation. An Obama-era immigration program intended to protect parents of U.S. citizens and legal residents from deportation has been formally cancelled, fulfilling a key campaign promise from President Trump, the Homeland Security Department announced late Thursday [6/15/2017]. Homeland Security John Kelly formally revoked a policy memo that created the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans program. The revocation came on the fifth anniversary of another effort that has protected hundreds of thousands of young immigrants from deportation. Trump Admin Rescinds DAPA Amnesty Program. The Trump administration has fulfilled another one of Donald Trump's campaign promises by rescinding the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) program implemented under Barack Obama that could have allowed as many as five million illegal aliens with children who are citizens or lawful permanent residents to remain in the country if they met certain criteria. Hardly Walt's Disney. The Magic Kingdom became the place of nightmares recently. In October of 2014, with no warning, Disney informed hundreds of their information technology (IT) workers they had three months left on the job. If the employees wanted to collect their severance, they would have to train their replacements. For three excruciating months, Disney forced their employees to train foreign workers brought into the country to replace them. The foreign-born workers were allowed to come into the country via the H-1B visa program. [...] Essentially, Disney has gone into the indentured servitude business. The foreign employees cannot complain or ask for more money for fear of getting fired. If they are fired, their visas are revoked and they are kicked out of the country. ICE chief: All illegals 'should be worried, no population off the table'. In a blunt warning to all 11 million undocumented immigrants, the acting chief of ICE said that anybody who cross the border illegally is subject to deportation. "If you are in this country illegally, and you committed a crime by entering this country, you should be uncomfortable, you should should look over your shoulder, and you need to be worried," said Thomas D. Homan, acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Border Numbers Up 31 Percent in One Month as 'Catch and Release' Continues. The apprehension of illegal border crossers by Border Patrol agents jumped 31 percent in May from the previous month. The jump follows a six-month decline in apprehensions after the election of President Donald Trump. The increase comes as Border Patrol agents report "catch and release" programs are quietly continuing. Luis Gutierrez Whines: Breitbart News Coverage of Illegal Immigrants, Muslim Refugees Too Harsh. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) whined about Breitbart News' coverage of illegal immigrants and Muslim refugees during his recent commencement address at Cambridge College. "Breitbart and Fox News didn't invent their opinions on Mexicans and Central Americans or Muslims," he claimed the day after the London Bridge terror attacks. "They're just recycling them." He told Cambridge College's graduates, "I say lift the Muslim ban and tell the Supreme Court to say it's unconstitutional and un-American." Texas Sheriff Actively Promoting Visas for Illegal Immigrants. Travis County Sheriff "Sanctuary Sally" Hernandez came up with the idea of instructing crime victims who happen to be in the country illegally on how they can apply for a "U visa," Fox 7 in Austin reported. Merely filing out the application for the visa, intended to help true crime victims, is enough to at least temporarily block immigration officials from deporting an applicant. Her work continues to propagate the myth that Texas' new sanctuary city law (previously known as Senate Bill 4) is a threat to crime victims. GAO: 437,000 deportation cases backlogged, hearings delayed to 2022. The government's processing of illegal immigrants has broken down as the number of backlogged court cases has grown to a ratio of 1,456 per judge, prompting some courts to schedule deportation cases as far out as February 2022, according to a new Government Accountability Office assessment. The audit agency tabulated a total of 437,000 pending cases, double what it was in 2006. What's more, the normal wait time for illegals to face a judge has grown from 198 days to 404 days. Good News: Illegal Aliens With Old Deportation Orders Are Being Detained. Of course, this is terrifying people who are unlawfully present in the United States. [...] They should be terrified. Better yet, they should simply leave. They were ordered deported, and Obama and his administration allowed these people who are unlawfully present to remain in the country. Federal Judge Is "Humiliated" For Having To Actually Uphold Immigration Law. If Judge Reinhardt is so upset by having to enforce federal immigration law, he can resign. The federal government is specifically tasked with protecting the nation from foreign invasion, which includes those who come to this country illegally as well as overstay their visas. The majority of countries in the world, including Mexico, refuse to tolerate those who are unlawfully present, and many, including Mexico, have harsher penalties. DHS Officers Humiliate Judges by Enforcing Immigration Laws, Declares Judge. Judges are humiliated and dehumanized whenever they must enforce the nation's immigration laws, according to a senior judge on the far-left Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The judge's cry of outrage came when he could not block the orderly repatriation of an illegal immigrant who has two drunk driving convictions, plus a U.S. wife and three children. "We are unable to prevent [Andres] Magana Ortiz's removal, yet it is contrary to the values of this nation and its legal system," complained Judge Stephen Reinhardt, who wishes to extend citizens' rights to illegal foreign migrants. Democrats In Texas Legislature Threaten Violence To Protect Illegal Aliens. Texas is estimated to have more than 1 million illegal aliens, according to the Migration Policy Institute. During today's [5/29/2017] final legislative session a group of angry protesters calling themselves illegal aliens attempted to disrupt the session by shouting, chanting and blowing whistles. The issue they were protesting is a new law known as "SB4" or the anti-Sanctuary City Law, where Texas police chiefs and sheriffs are required to comply with federal requests to hold criminal suspects for possible deportation. The Texas Protestors Should Be Deported. If you're holding up signs bragging that you are an illegal alien while protesting a state legislature and disrupting its proceedings, you should be deported. You are admitting you are an illegal alien and you are disrupting the legitimate legislative functions of a state government. I do not have sympathy for you. Texas Leg's Last Day in Session Ends With Near Brawl When Rep. Claims He Called ICE on Illegal Protesters. Today [5/29/2017] was the last day of the Texas legislative regular session. But before the typical closing ceremonies were held, a near brawl broke out between lawmakers. Stoked by anti-SB 4 protestors, Democrat and Republican lawmakers exchanged harsh words and a few shoves. Senate Bill 4 is the state's Sanctuary City bill, which would require local and campus law enforcement to comply with federal immigration communication laws, or be subject to civil and criminal penalties. Governor Abbott signed the bill into law earlier this month. At the center of the SB-4 conflict was Republican state Rep. Matt Rinaldi, who said he called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on protestors carrying "I am illegal and here to stay" placards. Texas State Rep Reports Protesters to ICE; Guess What Happened Next? This morning [5/29/2017], during the final day of the current session of the Texas state legislature, the Texas House was considering a bill to punish so-called "sanctuary cities." The Democrats had been fighting the bill for hours, and there were lots of protesters in the gallery. When the protesters were loudly disruptive, the Department of Public Safety began to remove them from the gallery. That's when the fun began. Apparently, state Representative Matt Rinaldi (R-Irving) announced that he had called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on the protesters. The Editor says... ICE agents eat at restaurant — then detain the workers. ICE agents apparently love a good breakfast, and it doesn't matter who's making it. United States Immigrations Customs and Enforcement (ICE) officers detained three members of the kitchen staff at a restaurant in downtown Ann Arbor, Mich., on Wednesday morning — but only after sitting down to eat some waffles. Sava Lelcaj-Farah, the owner of Sava's restaurant, told MLive that the incident was "really sad," and "scares the whole community." The Editor says... DHS: More than 700K visa overstays in 2016 alone. Forget about the wall or deportations or travel bans. These days, if you so much as suggest something as relatively mild as a fresh look at the number of visas we issue and how we track them you are identified as obviously being a racist. After all, we're not talking about ISIS bombers swimming across Lake Erie to get into our country from Canada, right? These are tourists or students or temporary workers who just want to help. Unfortunately, while that's a popular line of argument in the legacy media these days, the visa programs currently in place have problems. And the Department of Homeland Security has highlighted yet another uncomfortable factoid for us this month, saying that more than 700K visitors of various sorts came to the United States on visas in the past fiscal year and failed to leave when they were supposed to. That we know of. Staggering number of visa overstays now biggest problem in illegal immigration. The nexus of illegal immigration into the U.S. has shifted away from the southwest border and into the country's air and sea ports, where more than 54 million visitors checked in last year — and nearly 630,000 of them didn't go home, according to new numbers released Monday [5/22/2017]. Known as visa overstays, the visitors present a different challenge than the border crossers, and one that Homeland Security officials are still trying to figure out how to handle. Immigration Arrests Jump Nearly 40% Under Trump. Immigration arrests climbed yet again in April as federal agents continued to track down both criminal and noncriminal aliens in far greater numbers over the first 100 days of the Trump administration than they did under former President Barack Obama a year ago. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Enforcement and Removal Operations deportation officers administratively arrested 41,318 illegal immigrants on civil immigration charges between Jan. 22 and April 29, according to agency data released Wednesday. That was a 38 percent jump over the 30,028 arrests made in the same time period in 2016, the final year of the Obama administration. After Trump Executive Orders, ICE Making 400 Arrests Per Day. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced Wednesday [5/17/2017] that it has arrested more than 400 individuals per day since President Trump signed executive orders calling for tougher immigration policies. Between Jan. 22 and April 29, the immigration enforcement agency arrested 41,318 individuals on civil immigration charges, 75 percent of whom were convicted criminals, after Trump signed immigration-related executive orders in January. That number represents a 37.6 percent increase from the same period in 2016. Trump's immigration enforcement helps slow illegal border crossings by 76%. Illegal immigration across the southwestern border is down a stunning 76 percent since President Trump was elected, with the flow of children and families dropping even faster as analysts say the administration's commitment to enforcing the law has changed the reality along the border. Overall apprehensions by the Border Patrol dropped to just 11,129 in April, according to numbers released Tuesday [5/9/2017], marking the lowest monthly total for any month in decades. Immigrant Workers Stunned To Be Fired After Skipping Work For Protest. More than 20 immigrant workers in Michigan were stunned to find themselves out of a job after they skipped work to attend a "Day Without Immigrants" rally in February. The former employees of Detroit-area auto parts maker EZ Industrial Solutions LLC say they were wrongfully fired, despite warnings from company management that there would be repercussions for missing work without permission. They are now taking their case to federal labor regulators, the Detroit Free Press reported. In a charge filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the immigrant workers from Mexico and Central America claim EZ Industrial Solutions unjustly fired them for taking part in a political protest.
How Hungary Managed To Erase Illegal Immigration In Just A Few Months. When other countries welcomed refugees with open arms, Hungary decided it was time to eradicate illegal immigration at any cost. The country succeeded, but that success damaged relations with the European Union in the process. Hungary's second border fence has just been completed in the southern town of Asotthalom. The 96-mile long, 14 ft. tall double-line of defense doesn't look too intimidating from a distance. Go a little closer and you'll notice several layers of razor-wire capable of delivering electric shocks, cameras, heat sensors and loudspeakers ready to tell migrants they're about to break Hungarian law if they as much as touch the fence. Illegals thwart immigration laws with help from lawyers, judges, educators. A massive anti-deportation infrastructure has emerged to try to protect illegal immigrants from President Trump's crackdown, with advocacy groups coaching potential deportees on how to massage encounters with police, and lawyers and judges working to shield them from charges that would make them priorities for deportation. A video released Monday [4/24/2017] by a coalition of advocates instructs illegal immigrants not to open the door to federal agents, what proof to demand if they are being arrested and what to say if accosted outside their homes. Meanwhile, attorneys are working to lower charges from some illegal immigrant criminals, hoping to blunt their crimes so they don't show up as high-priority deportation targets. Draining the Swamp in NYC. [Mayor] DeBlasio has declared New York City as a sanctuary city that will not adhere to federal mandates restricting municipal employees from questioning city services while performing their official duties. Therefore, if you come here from another country without a legal visa, work permit or citizenship; you can access services like schools, hospitals, utilities and even law enforcement without being questioned about your illegal immigration status. Illegal Aliens Have More Rights Than IRS Taxpayers. For over eleven years we have been writing a weekly column pointing out the injustices inflicted upon Americans and the American taxpayer by government and special interests. But no injustice is more egregious than allowing foreign nationals to invade our country by the millions where they get to profit from the invasion, rather than being put in jail or deported as they would be in any other country. No other sovereign nation on earth allows illegal immigration to exist on such an enormous scale, as does the United States of America. What is even more unfathomable is why this injustice doesn't fester in the hearts and minds of the American people to the point where they put an immediate halt to it, or fire those in government who are responsible. What does it take for the American people to rise up against this injustice in full force and fury, as they should? Report: ICE Failures Under Obama Administration Leave More Than 2.2 Million 'Supervised' Aliens on Streets. A new report from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Office of Inspector General (OIG) reveals startling failures during the Obama Administration that allowed 2.2 million deportable aliens to remain on the streets in a "supervised" status. Aliens with criminal convictions accounted for nearly 400,000 of that total. The report issued by ICE Inspector General (IG) John Roth last week details several failures under the previous administration that built a tremendous backlog for deportation officers (DO). Those failures include imbalanced workloads for DOs, unachievable goals, a lack of clear policies and procedures, and insufficient training. Undocumented bakery workers protest termination. Several protesters who chained themselves to delivery trucks at a Queens bakery were arrested early Friday [4/21/2017]. Workers at Tom Cat Bakery were protesting a requirement by the bakery that they prove their immigration status or face termination. The workers say that in March, Tom Cat officials told them the Department of Homeland Security was investigating the company. 31 workers were told they would be fired within 10 business days if they could not provide new employment documents. U.S. Border Officials Suspected of Working with Drug Smugglers, Says Border Patrol Council President. A top Border Patrol agent and president of the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) has alleged that Border Patrol management in Montana's Havre Sector are suspected of being corrupt and ordering miles of border unpatrolled in an intentional effort to help drug smugglers. New DHS Hires Signal End To Era Of Officials Cozy With The Open Borders Lobby. The Department of Homeland Security announced last week the appointment of two former employees of think tanks that advocate for reduced immigration. This comes as a departure from a department that was staffed in the Obama era by several officials closely involved with organizations which advocate for amnesty. Jon Feere and Julie Kirchner joined Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection as advisers, respectively. Feere is a former policy analyst at the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for reduced immigration, and is now an adviser to Thomas D. Homan, the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.Exclusive: Officials Defy Trump's Promises: 40 Miles of Border Ordered Unpatrolled. U.S. Border Patrol agents are once again sounding the alarm about miles of border being left wide open and unsecured. Breitbart Texas exclusively obtained a document showing a Havre Sector Border Patrol manager knowingly issuing orders to leave 40 miles of border open and unpatrolled. Obama holdovers in the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency are continuing with the same careless disregard in the Trump Administration that they did under former President Obama, according to Border Patrol agents. Breitbart Texas has the specific order that was given to the agents signed by the Obama-holdover manager. Debate over in-state tuition for students in US illegally. Twenty states already offer cheaper in-state college tuition to students who are in the United States illegally. Legislation making its way through the Tennessee Legislature would make that state the 21st. Sessions Announces Illegal Aliens Who Illegally Re-Enter The U.S. Will Be Charged With a Felony. Speaking from the U.S.-Mexico border in Nogales, Arizona Tuesday [4/11/2017], Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced major changes to Justice Department protocol when it comes to charging and prosecuting illegal aliens. "For those that continue to seek improper and illegal entry into this country, be forewarned: This is a new era. This is the Trump era. The lawlessness, the abdication of the duty to enforce our immigration laws and the catch and release practices of old are over," Sessions said. Trump's Justice Department to end 'catch and release' immigration policy. Attorney General Jeff Sessions declared "a new era" in immigration enforcement on Tuesday, saying his prosecutors will try to bring stiffer criminal charges against repeat illegal immigrants and smugglers as part of President Trump's crackdown. Mr. Sessions said his enforcement priorities will end the "catch and release" practices of the Obama administration and give the Justice Department a more active role in stemming illegal immigration. Park Service: Illegals destroying federal lands, unsafe for camping. Illegal immigration and drug running have destroyed border parklands, further threatened two species on the endangered list and led federal officials to bar visitors and campers in areas considered too dangerous to visit, according to newly released reports. In studies of two parks that make up less than 90 miles of the Arizona-Mexico border, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Park Service said that the areas have been ripped up with thousands of miles of unauthorized roads from vehicles that have crushed plants and animal habitat. American Resurrection. The statistics on illegal immigration are in. Apparently, the wave of illegals has been cut by 70% since Trump's inauguration. And the Wall doesn't even exist yet. So much for all those who said we couldn't halt this illegal flood. ICE is deporting criminals (and leftists are squealing), sanctuary cities are going to lose a lot of funds, Lansing, Michigan, just voted to stop being a sanctuary city, overcoming their foolish mayor. Fear of Trump Makes Migrants Disappear From Mexican Border. [President] Trump hasn't yet made good on his bombastic campaign trail promises. The wall is still just a twinkle in his eye, and the deportation force hiring sprees haven't happened yet. ICE agents have conducted raids targeting undocumented immigrants, but they aren't actually that different in scale from raids that happened during the early years of the Obama administration. But the symbolism of Trump in the Oval Office and the threat of extended detention has already deterred many migrants. Migrants are scared, explained Jose, a young Honduran man staying at the San Bosco shelter in hopes of getting to the U.S. They might be less scared in the future, he said, but for now they're waiting. Why Sanctuary Cities Encourage Illegal Immigration. Numerous cities have declared themselves to be "sanctuary cities," where local police are forbidden to cooperate with federal immigration authorities in enforcing our national immigration laws. Legislation is now moving through the California legislature to implement such a policy throughout that entire state. Why this energy to protect violators of our laws? Oddly, the answer goes back to the founding. Due to a residue of the notorious three-fifth compromise, sanctuary cities encourage illegal immigration because undocumented residents (to use the politically correct term) are counted in determining representation in the House of Representatives and state legislatures. The more undocumented a city has, the more seats it gets. Arrests of illegal criminals jumps 250% in one week. As promised, immigration police have expanded their campaign to deport illegals with criminal records, announcing the seizure of 368 illegals in seven states and Washington, D.C. That nearly a 250 percent increase over the 106 announced a week earlier. The biggest seizures by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were in Texas, but they made arrests as far north as Wyoming. More Than 100 Sex Offenders Caught in Single Border Sector This Fiscal Year. Border Patrol officials in the Rio Grande Valley Sector report that their agents arrested more than 100 previously deported sex offenders that illegally re-entered the U.S. Agents arrested two during a one-hour period in separate locations in the sector on Wednesday [3/30/2017]. State Rep Caught Tipping Off Illegal Aliens About ICE Raids. Massachusetts state Rep. Michelle DuBois posted a warning to illegal immigrants on her Facebook page Tuesday about upcoming Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids that are rumored to be taking place in the area. ICE detains 26 offenders reporting for community service in Fort Worth. Agents for Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained 26 offenders suspected of being undocumented as they reported for community service Sunday morning [3/276/2017] at a Tarrant County Jail facility north of downtown. David McClelland, chief of staff for Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn, said the Sheriff's Department was contacted about a week ago by federal agents asking for information about people in the work detail, a program for those who are on probation and are working off part of their sentences. Federal immigration agents showing up in NYC courts to arrest defendants. When Floyel Stapleton appeared in Manhattan Criminal Court for a routine hearing in his misdemeanor assault case, he was stunned to be met by federal immigration agents as he left the courtroom. "I didn't know they were there. They were in plain clothes. They had no badges and they arrested me when I was walking out of the courtroom. They just asked my name and they arrested me," Stapleton, 39, who is from the Caribbean island of Nevis, told the Daily News from an immigration detention center in Hudson County. Deterrence and human nature. [Scroll down] Take illegal immigration. The Trump administration believed the answer was to persuade people not to come illegally into the United States, and to convince those who are already residing here illegally and who have broken American laws to go home. So his proposed wall on the border with Mexico and beefed-up patrols are a sort of insurance policy in case immigrants do not heed appeals to follow the law. Deportation and even the threat of deportation also serve as deterrents to persuade others not to enter the U.S. illegally, given the likelihood of being sent back home promptly. The early result of that proposed deterrent policy is that in just two months, attempted illegal entries into the U.S. have fallen dramatically. Past approaches to illegal immigration were largely therapeutic. Bilateral talks with Mexico, sanctuary cities, de facto amnesties and non-enforcement of immigration laws supposedly would ensure that immigration was orderly and a positive experience for both hosts and guests. Instead, the border effectively became wide open and chaos ensued. Philadelphia's Largest Cinco de Mayo Celebration Canceled in Fear of Immigration Crackdown. One of Philadelphia's most prominent Latin American events, El Carnaval de Puebla, has been canceled this year because of what one organizer called "the severe conditions affecting the immigrant community." The annual parade through South Philadelphia has taken place in late April or early May for the last decade and is the city's largest Cinco de Mayo celebration. Organizer Edgar Ramirez said as many as 15,000 gather from as far as New England and Chicago. Immigration judges headed to 12 U.S. cities to speed deportations. The U.S. Justice Department is developing plans to temporarily reassign immigration judges from around the country to 12 cities to speed up deportations of illegal immigrants who have been charged with crimes, according to two administration officials. How many judges will be reassigned and when they will be sent is still under review, according to the officials, but the Justice Department has begun soliciting volunteers for deploymen Judge Considers Ordering President Donald Trump to Double 50,000 Refugee Inflow to the United States. A federal District Court judge in Maryland is considering whether he should order President Donald Trump to double the annual inflow of refugees up to 100,000 per year. Any demand by the judge that the federal government airbus an extra 50,000 migrants — including many adherents of Islam's sharia legal system — into American neighborhoods would be an unusual intervention into government roles normally left to the elected President and Congress. If actually implemented, the judge's plan also would be extremely expensive for Americans, because state and local communities subsidize each new immigrant with roughly $1,600 each per year for decades. Rogue judges give legal standing to hypothetical immigrants. When President Trump issued his revised immigration order, I warned that unless we reassess our erroneous views of judicial power, the courts would create an affirmative right to immigrate. Even though the revised order applies only to prospective immigrants who have never stepped foot on our shores, we predicted that the courts would completely erase national sovereignty. They did not disappoint. Over the past few days, several liberal legal groups and a handful of blue states (led by Hawaii) have sued against the new order. One federal district judge grotesquely manipulated the rules of standing and issued a temporary restraining order against the executive order, even in a case where Trump's moratorium was inapplicable. 23 Percent of Public Schoolchildren Live in Immigrant Households. Almost a quarter of the nation's public school students live in immigrant households, raising questions about America's long-term ability to continue its tradition of assimilation, according to a study released Thursday. The report, published by the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies, indicates that 23 percent of public school students live in a household with at least one immigrant parent. That is more than double the percentage in 1990 and up from 7 percent in 1980. Because immigrants are not evenly distributed throughout the country, however, some schools have significantly higher percentages of immigrant children. The report breaks down the data by census units called public use microdata areas, which are roughly between 100,000 and 200,000 residents and generally respect county or city boundaries. The average number of public school students in each PUMA is about 20.600. Immigrants are now canceling their food stamps for fear that Trump will deport them. Luisa Fortin sometimes sits up at night, wondering what her clients are eating. She is the SNAP Outreach Coordinator for the Chattanooga Food Bank — but lately she has done less outreaching. Her families, working immigrants in northwest Georgia, are spooked by the political climate, Fortin said. Increasingly, she's being asked to explain how food stamps may impact immigration status, if not to outright cancel family food benefits. Since mid-January, five of Fortin's families have withdrawn from the SNAP program. One, the single mother of three citizen daughters, had fled to Georgia to escape an abusive husband. Another, two green-card holders with four young children, were thinking of taking on third jobs to compensate for the lost benefits. These families represent a small fraction of Fortin's caseload — she estimates she has signed 200 immigrant families up for SNAP over the past six months — but based on the calls she gets from other clients, she fears more cancellations are imminent. Assimilation under threat as children of immigrants flood U.S. public schools. The Virginia neighborhood of Fairfax County ranks with parts of those other cities as having the highest percentage of children from immigrants in its public schools, with 78 percent of students coming from immigrant households, according to a report that the Center for Immigration Studies is releasing Thursday. Across the country, some 23 percent of students in public schools come from immigrant households. That has more than doubled in the past 25 years, from just 11 percent in 1990. But their numbers are heavily concentrated in big cities. Miami-Dade County in Florida has four areas where at least 80 percent of students are from immigrant-led homes. In one of those, a part of Hialeah City, a staggering 93 percent of students belong to immigrant households. Steve King States the Obvious, Unleashes Fury. Kudos to [Rep. Steve] King for standing up for Western Civilization. Even if few have the spine to say it, everyone who has spent more than a minute thinking about it understands that a society cannot be sustained by importing massive numbers of foreigners from an alien civilization rather than having babies of its own. This is especially obvious when that alien civilization has been vehemently hostile for 1,400 years, and the foreigners are ostentatiously uninterested in assimilation. Just because David Duke agrees with him does not mean he is wrong. King is in for a storm, and deserves every patriot's support. High-School Kids Slammed for Wearing USA-Themed Attire to a Basketball Game. Students at Valley High School in Iowa wore USA-themed gear during a basketball game — and fans of the opposing team, Des Moines North High School, are saying that was offensive. According to local news source KCCI, Valley fans say that they've used a "USA" theme in the past for games against several different schools, but North's fans are insisting that it was a personal attack against them because some of their students come from refugee families. The Editor says... ACLU Is Suddenly Concerned Over Length Of Time Illegal Aliens Are Held. Despite the absence of reports over the last eight years, apparently, Mr. Obama's executive branch agencies were holding illegals for a long time, longer than the ACLU likes. In fact, Supreme Court decisions allowed this. Where were the lawsuits from the ACLU then? [...] Obviously, it is crystal clear that the ACLU is not interested in civil rights, but, instead, being a far left activist group agitating against a sitting United States president. And many of their proposed actions are to protect those who are unlawfully present in the nation over the best interests of citizens of this nation. One more reason to jam cell phones near the border: Earnings of undocumented workers soared during Obama years. Undocumented workers' incomes increased dramatically during the Obama years. The gap in the hourly wage between undocumented workers and native workers is reduced by half once socioeconomic characteristics — educational attainment, type of jobs, years since emigrating here and age — are taken into account, according to a new academic paper, "The Earnings of Undocumented Immigrants," by Harvard University economist George Borjas, and published Monday [3/13/2017] by the National Bureau of Economic Research, a Washington, D.C.-based research group. [...] Undocumented workers earn about 40% less than American workers, but that gap falls to 20% after controlling for the various socioeconomic and educational factors. "The adjusted wage of undocumented workers rose rapidly in the past decade," the study found. A Fair and Legal Replacement for DACA. President Obama's DACA, issued in 2012 via memorandum, was a patently lawless use of executive power. After Congress (again) decided not to pass the DREAM Act, granting legal status to illegal immigrants who came here as children, the president abused his "pen and phone" to impose the law's provisions unilaterally. The administration risibly claimed that this was an exercise of "prosecutorial discretion," implying that the government would be evaluating applications for deferred status on a case-by-case basis. Unsurprisingly, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officials have reported otherwise; in fact, anyone who appears to be under the maximum deferral age — that is, any illegal immigrant who appears younger than 35 years old — is simply presumed to be eligible for DACA. Under the policy, about 750,000 illegal aliens have been granted not only renewable, two-year deportation stays, but also work permits, Social Security numbers, access to the EITC welfare program, and driver's licenses. Functionally, more than 2 million have been shielded from deportation for nearly five years. Don't Look Now, But Trump Is Already Winning On Border Security. Just by saying that he would strictly enforce immigration laws already on the books, President Trump is already on his way to solving the illegal immigration problem. Imagine if previous presidents had done the same. In February, border agents apprehended just 18,762 people at the U.S./Mexican border, a 40% drop from January, which was itself a 27% decline from December. In fact, illegal border crossings have fallen every month since Trump won the election. And February's number was lower than any month in the previous five years, according to data from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Illegal border crossings decrease by 40 percent in Trump's first month, report says. The number of people illegally crossing the U.S. southern border has dropped 40 percent in President Trump's first full month in office, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said Wednesday. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol reported that the number of illegal border crossings dropped from 31,578 to 18,762 persons. Kelly said border agents usually see a 10 to 20 percent increase in illegal immigrant apprehensions from January to February. No Wall, No Raids, Just Enforce the Employment Laws. I admire immigrants. They've traveled thousands of miles to build better lives in a strange land where many don't even speak the language. They send much of the money they earn here back to their families in their homelands. America could use more such courage, work ethic and selflessness. I like seeing such people come to America — legally. But the illegal kind is a different story. Though they may be admirable in many respects, illegal immigrants are still breaking the law. To say that they are merely "undocumented workers" is to say that an intruder in your house is merely an "undocumented visitor." It sacrifices truth at the altar of political correctness. All Employment Growth
Since 2000 Went to Immigrants. Three conclusions can be drawn from this analysis: Democrats bring Dreamers, Trump brings victims of crimes by illegal immigrants. On one side were the "valedictorians," the high-achieving illegal immigrant Dreamers who have become the face of the drive for a more lenient immigration policy. Matched up on the other side were the "victims," those who had lost relatives to illegal immigrant crimes and who have gained a nationwide profile in the past 18 months, thanks chiefly to President Trump and his unorthodox campaign. On Tuesday [2/28/2017], both the victims and the valedictorians were in the same room, watching as Mr. Trump addressed a joint session of Congress. ICE nabs young 'dreamer' applicant after she speaks out at a news conference. About two weeks ago, Daniela Vargas hid in the bedroom closet of her Jackson, Miss., home after watching immigration officials handcuff her father in the family's driveway. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained the 22-year-old's father and brother, Argentines who were living in the country illegally, amid the Trump administration's aggressive deportation effort that has riled immigrant communities across the country. Although Vargas was in the process of renewing her status as a "dreamer" to remain in the United States legally — a status she had allowed to lapse — she feared that immigration officials would come after her next. Should have stayed "in the shadows." Oregon judge faces scrutiny for allegedly helping illegal immigrant escape ICE. An Oregon judge is being investigated after she allegedly helped an illegal immigrant elude ICE agents in January by guiding the man through a private entrance at the courthouse. Multnomah County Judge Monica Heeranz was notified by court staff that ICE agents were waiting outside her courtroom to possibly apprehend Diddier Pacheco Salazar, a 22-year-old Mexican national attending a DUI hearing, U.S. Attorney Billy Willaims said. Specific details about what happend inside the courtroom next is not clear. But Salazar reportedly somehow managed to leave the room using an employee exit. Sheriff: Illegals go free where Americans would be jailed. One of the nation's key sheriffs fighting crimes and drug peddling by illegal immigrants charged that Americans would be locked up for wrongdoing illegals regularly get a free pass on. In a Senate hearing focused on the impact of crimes by illegal immigrants on Americans as far north as Wisconsin and Washington, Grant County, Wash., Chief Deputy Ryan Rectenwald described a gruesome murder in 2016 of Jill Marie Sundberg by a previously deported illegal immigrant who skipped out on an $8,000 bond. Jorge Ramos: America Is 'Our Country, Not Theirs' — 'And We Are Not Going to Leave'. Univision senior anchor Jorge Ramos declared on Friday [2/24/2017] that the United States belongs to Latino migrants, emphatically stating to a Spanish-speaking audience that "it is our country, not theirs." Ramos took an unusual tack, pivoting from talk of diversity and togetherness into boasts of conquest. Mass immigration, particularly illegal immigration, was a fait accompli. There is nothing the U.S. can do about it, and they must accept that America is "not their" country and that illegal aliens, particularly Latinos, "are not going to leave," he said. Self Deportation Beginning Ahead of Schedule. The leftist media are all broadcasting scenes of illegal men, women and children hiking over the border in waist-high snow and sub-freezing temperatures (thanks a lot global warming), from the United States to Canada. Each one of these sites regale the reader with tales of woe of "undocumented migrants" having to brave the elements and hoof it to Canada, rather than get swept up in the Trump dragnet. [...] I find it incredible that so far I have not found a single lefty site that sees the irony of what they are reporting. They are making our case for us. This is exactly what I and many others have been preaching for years. If you build it, they will come. If you provide free refuge (and everything else) they will come. If you take it away, or even threaten to in a manner they will believe, they will go, of their own accord. The Coming Border War: A Prediction. A prediction: when the "Wall" along the southern border begins to be constructed, the left's professional activists will implement an extensive disruption campaign. It will be modeled after the Keystone Pipeline protest (that involved a makeshift city of 10,000), but be more mobile and flexible, spread out along the border that marks the path of the wall. Protestors will stand in the path of construction, just at activists have, in the past, chained themselves to trees in the Northwest to stop logging. It's Official: Liberals Only Care About Illegals and Muslims. Hey, liberals! There's a reason why illegal Hispanics and jihadis aren't represented by the system. In the first place, they have broken the law by coming here without completing the administrative state's vital and voluminous paperwork. In the second place, they intend to break the law by violently overturning the United States government and its separation of church and state, replacing Western culture with Sharia law. Doctors gave fake medical opinions to help win citizenship. Psychiatrists and other doctors in Chicago and across the country have been caught helping immigrants gain U.S. citizenship by providing fake medical opinions, records show. An estimated 1,000 people a year submit a form to immigration officials in Chicago alone to waive the requirements that someone seeking citizenship must understand English and pass a test in U.S. history and civics. The obscure Form N-648 requires a doctor to list any physical or mental ailment that would prevent a patient from meeting the language requirements of citizenship. NY Times Publishes Screed By Illegal Alien Who Vows To Not Leave. [Scroll down] We see from the KDVR article that she arrived illegally in 1997 with her husband and a 6 year old. Since she is 45 now, that means she was not a child at the time she intentionally broke our immigration law. At one point she was charged with not having a license or insurance and for having an expired license plate. Those charges were dropped. She put a made up Social Security number on a document she was planning to use for a job application. She pled guilty to attempted possession of a forged instrument. La Immigra became involved at that point. She was given the opportunity to voluntarily self-deport. She finally did leave, then came back, paying someone to smuggle her across the border, for which she was almost immediately caught be the Border Patrol, making her an alien absconder. Just Say No To The Border Tax. Nobody knows for sure whether President Trump supports a "border adjustment tax." That's fitting, since nobody really knows what this tax would do to the economy. Trump has been hot and cold about the border adjustment tax. On Thursday, he told Reuters that he thought the tax "could lead to a lot more jobs in the United States." On Friday [2/24/2017], Trump's top economic advisor reportedly said it was a nonstarter. Democrats Attack Trump For Enforcing Their Own Immigration Law. The deportation rules announced this week by Department of Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly were greeted with the expected outrage from the usual suspects. But since when is enforcing the law a crime? In this case, the law that Kelly plans to enforce is the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act, which was approved by 52 Democrats in the Senate and 202 Democrats in the House in a Democrat-controlled Congress and was signed into law by President Johnson, a Democrat. That hasn't stopped today's Democrats from decrying the DHS memo as obscene and horribly un-American. DHS To Expedite Deportation Proceedings By Not Using Judges. With immigration courts reaching a record backlog in 2016, Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly ordered Monday [2/20/2017] that illegal immigrants who have been in the U.S. for less than two years should be allowed to be deported without a court hearing. Kelly signed two memos Monday that made significant changes to the nation's immigration policy. They ordered the immediate construction of a border wall, expanded the amount of local police who will enforce immigration law, and put every illegal immigrant — excluding those protected under President Obama's executive amnesty — at risk of deportation. Immigrants fearing deportation under Trump change routines. In Orange County, California, dozens of immigrant parents have signed legal documents authorizing friends and relatives to pick up their children from school and access their bank accounts to pay their bills in the event they are arrested by immigration agents. CBS: Trump Immigration Order Creates 'Climate of Fear' for Illegal 'Citizens'. The journalists at CBS This Morning on Wednesday [2/22/2017] openly fretted that Donald Trump's new immigration orders "could create a climate of fear" for illegal "citizens." (Yes, co-host Gayle King used the word "citizen.") Talking to USA Today bureau chief Susan Page, Anthony Mason worried, "This could create a climate of fear in the immigrant community, if it hasn't already." Page agreed, "I think it has." She justified, "Remember that two-thirds of illegal immigrants have been here at least a decade. So, they're really part of the fabric of our life. Although, admittedly, they're here illegally." The Editor says... Trump's Immigration Guidance: Dreamers and Parents of U.S. Citizens Are Safe for Now; Most Others Must Go. Homeland Security Secretary Gen. John Kelly on Tuesday [2/21/2017] released two memoranda, explaining how the Trump administration plans to implement the president's executive orders designed to "stem illegal immigration" and remove illegal aliens "who have no lawful basis to enter or remain in the United States." Notably, the new guidance exempts, for the time being, the 750,000 "dreamers" who came to this country as children and who received temporary legal status under President Obama Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. DHS secretary orders immigration agent hiring surge, end to 'catch-and-release'. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly moved Tuesday to implement a host of immigration enforcement changes ordered by President Trump, directing agency heads to hire thousands more officers, end so-called "catch-and-release" policies and begin work on the president's promised U.S.-Mexico border wall. "It is in the national interest of the United States to prevent criminals and criminal organizations from destabilizing border security," Kelly wrote in one of two memos released Tuesday [2/21/2017] by the department. The memos follow up on Trump's related executive actions from January and, at their heart, aim to toughen enforcement by expanding the categories of illegal immigrants targeted for deportation. The ACLU's war on common sense. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is leading the charge against President Trump's order to temporarily halt immigrants from seven Middle Eastern countries identified by the Obama administration as hotbeds of terrorism. So far, they have managed to find sympathetic judges in friendly climes such as the Ninth Circuit. The group had promptly filed a lawsuit against the order, which it calls "Trump's Muslim ban," despite the fact that it allows in travelers from more than 40 other Muslim majority nations comprising more than a billion people, plus India, which has an estimated 300 million Muslims. New York Times Foams at the Mouth: DHS Seeking to Expel Wide Range of Illegal Aliens. [Scroll down] The NYTEB said it: they are living in this country outside the law. If they crossed the borders without permission or overstayed their visa, then they are unlawfully present. They also complained about creating an atmosphere of fear. Good. Criminals should be worried. Illegals have no one to blame but themselves. This is not on the citizens of the U.S. We didn't make them come here illegally/overstay visas. They CHOSE to do that. They chose that for their children, in many cases. They do not help their case when they demand, DEMAND, that the United States give them money, services, welfare, healthcare, housing, food, education, the right to vote, and citizenship. They aren't asking. They're demanding. They're out in the streets insulting citizens, they freak out over citizens flying the flag of the U.S., they fly the flags of Mexico and other nations, and they demand the return of the American southwest to Mexico. Being humble would help their case: they are anything but. Refugees Will Cost Taxpayers an Estimated $4.1 Billion in FY 2017. American taxpayers will spend more than $4.1 billion in the 2017 budget to support the 519,018 refugees who have been resettled by the federal government in the United States since October 2009, according to a cost estimate by Breitbart News. To put that very large number in context, $4.1 billion can buy 10,677 new homes for $384,000 each, which is the average price of a new home sold in the United States in December 2016. Or it could buy 170,124 new autos for $24,100 each, which is the manufacturer's suggested retail price for a 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. More than 100 workers across the US are fired after they skipped a day of work to take part in anti-Trump 'Day Without Immigrants' protests. More than 100 workers have been fired for walking out to take part in anti-Trump 'Day Without Immigrants' protests on Thursday [2/16/2017]. In cities all over the US, hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets in widespread demonstrations against the President's anti-immigrants stance and rhetoric. [...] But since the march, more than 100 people in states from South Carolina to New York have lost their jobs for not coming to work in order to take part in protests. The "day without immigrants" became a teachable moment. Do you remember that "day without immigrants" protest that we talked about last week? It took place as predicted (and in fact demanded by activist organizers on the left). But in at least one location in Tennessee some of the participants learned a rapid and likely lasting lesson about the intersection of free speech and personal responsibility. Bradley Coatings, Inc. found out at the last minute that their tightly packed customer schedule was going to go up in flames when nearly 20 of their employees announced with roughly 12 hours notice that they would be taking part in the poorly defined protest and not participating in their job assignments. They made good on the threat and their employer responded in pretty much the way you would probably expect. Company fires 18 employees after they participated in 'A Day Without Immigrants'. A total of 18 people were fired from a Tennessee business after joining the nation-wide protest "A Day Without Immigrants." The 18 employees at Bradley Coatings, Incorporated in Nolensville, Tennessee told their supervisors on Wednesday [2/15/2017] they'd be taking part in the nationwide movement. Then, on Thursday, they were told they no longer had jobs. "We are the team leaders directly under the supervisors and they informed us last night that we could not go back to work and the boss said we were fired," one employee said. Business owners stand by decision to fire workers who protested. Jim Serowski's employees told him they'd planned to skip work Thursday to participate in "A Day Without Immigrants," the nationwide day of protest. Serowski, founder of JVS Masonry in Commerce City, Colorado, said his position to them was clear: "If you're going to stand up for what you believe in, you have to be willing to pay the price." As promised, when Serowski's foreman and some 30 bricklayers failed to show up for work, he fired them all with no regrets, he said. Illegal immigrants would rather be arrested in Canada than stay in US. Undocumented immigrants in the US are jumping the border into Canada, where they hope they'll be treated more humanely than under the Trump administration, according to reports. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are citing an influx of illegal border crossings, especially into Quebec province from upstate New York, according to a National Public Radio report. One of the biggest entry points is from the small town of Champlain, where the Mounties patrol the other side and arrest the travelers as they come over. How immigration will change the electoral power of states Trump needed to win election. With or without a huge wall along the southern border, states far from Mexico will continue to feel the effects of immigration — just not in the way most Americans might think. That's because immigration will change the demographics — and electoral power — of the states Donald Trump depended on to win the presidency. Trump — who focused throughout the campaign on curbing illegal immigration — won after flipping an entire region from blue to red, from Wisconsin to Michigan and into Ohio and Pennsylvania. Paul Sracic, a political science professor at Youngstown (Ohio) State University, explains that Trump "could have lost Florida and still won, something the last Republican president, George W. Bush, never could have done." Brilliant — Today Illegal Aliens Voluntarily Self-Identify Throughout America. Some people say the liberal mind is predisposed toward stupidity, or at least stupid behavior. Perhaps that's a little too harsh; however, the plan for today is definitely an example of not quite thinking things through to — 'the unintended consequences'. There is a social justice action taking place today, Thursday February 16th, and being widely promoted. [...] However, has anyone stopped to think that by participating in this program they are just outing themselves as illegal aliens, which means illegal employees to their employers? Any employer who wondered whether or not their staff may contain employees who gained jobs due to false papers, only needs to look at those employees who don't show up to work today. 60% of Refugee Arrivals Since Judge Halted Trump's Order Come From 5 Terror-Prone Countries. Sixty percent of the refugees admitted into the United States since a federal judge halted President Trump's executive order designed to prevent "foreign terrorist entry into the United States" originate from five of the seven countries identified by the administration and its predecessor as most risky. Of the total 2,576 refugees resettled in the U.S. from around the world since U.S. District Judge James Robart's February 3 restraining order, 1,549 (60.1 percent) are from Syria (532), Iraq (472), Somalia (363), Iran (117), and Sudan (65). No refugees have arrived from the other two applicable countries, Yemen and Libya. Of the 2,576 refugees to have arrived since Feb. 3, 1,424 (55.3 percent) are Muslims — 817 Sunnis, 132 Shi'ites, and 475 refugees self-identified simply as Muslims, according to State Department Refugee Processing Center data. Mexico fights back: Officials are 'purposely backing up American courts with immigration cases to antagonize Trump'. Mexican officials, legislators, governors and public figures are pushing back against Trump's antagonistic stance toward their country. Means include increasing the 'backlog in the immigration system' and defending undocumented migrants in the US and the Wall Street Journal reported. Other proposed measures include renegotiating deals such as the one that currently makes Mexico accept deportees from the United States without proof that they are Mexican.
The immigration history that the MSM and Dems don't want you to know. Whether the MSM and the Dems are being deliberately malicious or are just plain dumb, it's obvious that Trump's executive order is benign compared with what other presidents have done to control immigration and refugees seeking asylum. Before we were actually in WWII, on 13 May 1939, more than 900 Jews fled Germany aboard a luxury cruise liner, the SS St Louis. They hoped to reach Cuba and then travel to the US — but were turned away in Havana and forced to return to Europe, where more than 250 were killed by the Nazis. There have been attempts to excuse FDR's treatment of these innocent passengers by claiming he did a lot to save the holocaust victims once he knew what was happening in Germany but that story doesn't wash. Then, Deportations Were Good; Now, Deportations Are Evil. When President Obama was in the White House, Democrats were crowing about the historic number of illegal immigrants he was deporting each year. Now, every arrest of an illegal immigrant is a cause for protests. When President Trump's Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly announced on Monday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement had arrested 680 illegals — 75% of whom are convicted criminals — the left had another emotional breakdown. Government program gives immigrants residency for $500,000. Immigrants who want to live in the U.S. are forced to wait as long as a decade to get a green card. A government program called EB-5 allows wealthy immigrants to jump to the front of the line if they can pay $500,000. Liberals Howl Over ICE Raids Targeting Criminal Aliens. U.S. immigration officials arrested an MS-13 gang member, a cocaine trafficker, and a child molester during a series of raids in at least six states last week. The raids, targeting illegal immigrants with additional felonies, are part of the first large-scale enforcement operation since President Donald Trump took office. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said they targeted known criminals and arrested hundreds of illegal immigrants in what they called an "enforcement surge" that began Feb. 6 and took place in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, New York, and the Carolinas. ICE arrested approximately 200 illegal aliens throughout Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina and arrested 160 more in 55 communities throughout southern California. Where did the FY2017 refugees go so far; 34,825 as of this morning. For new readers (and there are many of you!), refugees are admitted on a fiscal year basis. In September of each year, the President sends a determination letter (and report) to Congress and tells Congress how many refugees are proposed for the upcoming fiscal year that begins on October 1 and from which regions of the world they will be taken. Congress' role is to "consult" only. [...] President Trump has already lowered Obama's ceiling from 110,000 to 50,000.
Mexican President's Photo Op with Deported Migrants Backfires. An attempt to capitalize on the arrival of 135 deported Mexican nationals by having the president welcome them backfired when some of the migrants said the government abandoned them and would return to the U.S. as soon as possible. The event took place at Mexico City's airport when Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto welcomed a group of 135 Mexican nationals who had just been deported from the United States. Mexican President Nieto Seeks To Protect Mexicans From a Life in Mexico. There is something uniquely bizarre about the President of a country fighting to provide a better life for the citizens of his country by keeping them out of his country. Yet that's exactly what Mexican President Peña Nieto did yesterday [2/10/2017], when the government of Mexico announced they would be attempting to keep their own citizens out of Mexico in order to provide them a better life in the U.S.
Jeh Johnson Hyped Denying Visa-Free Travel to Those Who Visited NYT's '7 Muslim Countries'. In multiple congressional testimonies last year, then-Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson hyped the action he was taking — under a law signed by President Barack Obama — to deny visa-free travel to the United States to citizens of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries who had visited Syria, Sudan, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Somalia or Libya. "Foreign terrorist travel, the prospect of foreign terrorist travel to our homeland keeps me up at night," Johnson, for example, testified in the House Homeland Security Committee on July 14, 2014. Border jumping per se is a crime, so it doesn't matter if that's their only crime. A Maniac Is Running Our Foreign Policy! (It's Not Trump). Judge Robart's veto of Trump's travel ban notwithstanding, there is not the slightest question but that the president, in his sole discretion, can choose to admit or exclude any foreigners he likes, based on "the interests of the United States." The Clinton administration used the executive branch's broad power over immigration to send a 6-year-old boy back to a communist dictatorship. The courts were completely powerless to stop him. As explained by the federal appellate court that ruled on Elian Gonzalez's asylum application: "It is the duty of the Congress and of the executive branch to exercise political will," and "in no context is the executive branch entitled to more deference than in the context of foreign affairs," which includes immigration. 1 in 10 immigrants in U.S. illegally live in New York area. A report released Thursday [2/9/2017] estimates more than 2.5 million immigrants in the country illegally live in the metropolitan areas of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, which have pledged to fight President Trump's plans to expand deportations. Dear Illegal Immigrant Criminals: If I Were You, I'd Run! Raids Begin In 6 States. The law gets enforced, and naturally... the bright sparks on the left do the only thing they seem to know how. They protest. (Didn't really think this through, did they?) Eight years of Obama in charge has REALLY emboldened both the illegal immigrants and protesters with a contempt for the law. Ironically, this will [have negative repercussions]. We Know Where They are — So Let the Deportations Begin. The latest from Pew Research is that there are approximately 11.1 million illegal aliens in America presently. That's 3.5 percent of our total population. Of that 11.1 million, Pew states that 61 percent of them reside in just 20 cities, or metropolitan areas. Of those cities, Austin, Texas has the fewest at 100,000, while metro areas like New York City and Los Angeles take the top two spots. That 61% equates to 6.8 million illegals concentrated in a relatively small area. ICE Rounds Up 44 Criminal Aliens in Texas Capital. Enforcement actions underway in Texas as part of the nationwide Operation Cross Check have landed 44 criminal aliens in federal detention this week. Following news about criminal aliens being arrested in Austin, Texas, by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, Breitbart Texas reached out to the local ICE spokesperson to learn if the arrests were part of an ongoing operation. While the ICE spokesperson would not confirm or deny the operation, U.S. Representative Joaquin Castro confirmed the arrests underway in Austin and throughout South and Central Texas are part of Operation Crosscheck. Over 75% of illegals could be deported under Trump orders. The bulk of illegal immigrants would be eligible for deportation under President Trump's executive orders, not just those who went on to commit additional crimes, according to a new expert analysis. Overall, more than 11 million of the estimated 13 million [to] 14 million illegals in the United States come under the deportation language signed by Trump, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. In the latest post on the CIS page, Ronald W. Mortensen, a retired career U.S. Foreign Service Office, highlighted three key provisions in Executive Order 13768 that prioritize illegal immigrants for removal. Court ends constitutional government by blocking Trump. The 228-year experiment with a Constitutional Republic took another step closer to ending today in a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals courtroom when a panel of three judges upheld a district court's decision that the president of the United States and Congress cannot control our borders. So much for the idea that elections have consequences. [...] he judges involved in this should be impeached for exceeding their authority. There is no way every single district judge in America has the power or authority to make a policy decision affecting the national security of 320 million Americans. The Supreme Court should make that perfectly clear. Judges Declare Judges Can Grant Immigration Visas, Even When Elected President Disagrees. Judges in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in California are opening a new immigration route for foreigners, which would bypass the federal agencies' sole authority to approve or decline foreigners' immigration or entry into the U.S. The new route is created by the Feb. 9 decision which blocks the White House's very popular reform of immigration rules. If upheld by the Supreme Court later this year, the new declaration would allow overseas foreigners — including those hostile to the United States — to hire lawyers to persuade judges to grant them visas, residency permits and eventually citizenship. 20 metro areas are home to six-in-ten unauthorized immigrants in U.S. Most of the United States' 11.1 million unauthorized immigrants live in just 20 major metropolitan areas, with the largest populations in New York, Los Angeles and Houston, according to new Pew Research Center estimates based on government data. The analysis shows that the nation's unauthorized immigrant population is highly concentrated, more so than the U.S. population overall. In 2014, the 20 metro areas with most unauthorized immigrants were home to 6.8 million of them, or 61% of the estimated nationwide total. By contrast, only 36% of the total U.S. population lived in those metro areas. But the analysis also shows that unauthorized immigrants tend to live where other immigrants live. Among lawful immigrants — including naturalized citizens and noncitizens — 65% lived in those top metros. Why does the ACLU have a Pakistani heading its "National Security Project"? Hina Shamsi wrote a piece, "Flying Home From Abroad, a Border Agent Stopped and Questioned Me About My Work for the ACLU." Her purpose was to gin up anger against the duly elected president and his efforts to curtail terrorism. Instead her piece raised two questions in my mind. [#1] Why after 25 years of living in our country has she not become a citizen? [#2] Why does the ACLU have a Pakistani as director of its "National Security Project"? There is nothing illegal about her status as a legal alien or the ACLU hiring her. But both decisions reflect on her and her organization, which often acts as legal muscle for the Democratic Party. New Poll Shows Most Americans Support President Trump's Immigration Ban. Approval of President Trump's executive order that temporarily freezes immigration is on the rise. According to a new poll conducted by Investor's Business Daily and TechnoMetrica Market Intelligence, 51 percent of voters approve of the president's decision to temporarily restrict citizens from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering the country, while 42 percent of Hispanics who were surveyed also approved. Judicial Watch Files Suit For 'Refugee Travel Loans' Information. Judicial Watch announced today [2/7/2017] that it filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of State seeking records on the number of "Refugee Travel Loans" issued by State's Bureau for Population, Refugees, and Migration to the United Nation's International Organization for Migration from 2010 to the present. Judicial Watch is also seeking the number of loans defaulted on and the amount of money written off on each defaulted loan. Trump Slams Courts By Reading Federal Law on Illegal Aliens. Standing at the lectern, Trump read aloud title eight, chapter 12 of U.S. Code which states: "Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or non-immigrants, or impose on entry of aliens any restrictions may deem to be appropriate." "This isn't just me, this is for Obama, for Ronald Reagan, for the president," Trump said. "It was done for the security of our nation, the security of our citizens." The RAISE Act: A Good Start on Immigration. The Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment (RAISE) Act, introduced today [2/7/2017] by Arkansas senator Tom Cotton and Georgia senator David Perdue, is different. It is a carefully crafted, albeit limited, bill that would sharpen America's immigration system so that it serves the American economy. In 2015, the same year that President Barack Obama lawlessly granted amnesty to upward of 5 million illegal immigrants, the United States granted green cards to more than 1 million legal immigrants. Only a fraction were for high-skilled work. Nearly seven in ten were given to relatives of current U.S. citizens or green-card holders (officially, "legal permanent residents"). Family-based chain migration, under which the U.S. gives preferential treatment to immigration applications from the kin of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents, is a key source of the large-scale immigration of low-skilled and unskilled workers that is exerting downward pressure on wages in low-skill occupations. Video of Democrats Supporting Trump Immigration Position — A Reply to 84 Lumber's Support for Illegal Immigration. On Super Bowl weekend, 84 Lumber produced a documercial containing their political appeal toward all Americans and demanding that our nation should fully support illegal mass immigration. The building and supply company purchased a $15 million advertisement to air during the NFL championship football game. The open border Democrat and progressive constituency has applauded the position of 84 Lumber, however there has also been massive back-lash from Americans who simply request the enforcement of borders and a reasonable immigration policy. The Worst Ad Of The Super Bowl: 84 Lumber Glorifying Illegal Immigration. Glorifying illegal immigration AND cheap labor. [Video clip] Congress Moves to Cut Immigration to U.S. By Half. Leading senators on Tuesday [2/7/2017] unveiled landmark immigration reform legislation that would limit the number of refugees permitted into the United States each year and eventually cut total immigration to America by 50 percent, according to a preview of the legislation viewed by the Washington Free Beacon. Sens. David Perdue (R., Ga.) and Tom Cotton (R., Ark.) revealed the Reforming American Immigration for Strong Employment Act, or RAISE Act, which aims to boost wages for Americans by slicing immigration levels and recalibrating the system to accommodate those seeking employment in the American workforce. Southwest border is 'gaping wound' in homeland security, DHS chief says. The lack of a border wall is "a gaping wound" in the country's defenses, Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly said Tuesday, saying Border Patrol officials in the ground in Texas and Arizona can point to exact spots where fencing is needed right now. Mr. Kelly also promised a marked jump in morale at his department, saying tens of thousands of immigration agents had been despondent after having their hands tied by the Obama administration, and are now eager to get back to enforcing the law — the job they were hired to do. Time To Strip Lower Courts Of Jurisdiction Over Immigration. If pigs could fly conservatives would take back the White House and the legislative branch of government with solid constitutionalists in one election cycle. But even that tantalizing fairy tale would be rendered moot if nothing is done to immediately reform the federal judiciary and stave the coming tide of judicial tyranny. Nowhere is this more evident than with the Court's unconstitutional doctrine of conferring super rights on illegal aliens. As I noted following the Supreme Court's bloodless coup on our constitutional form of government, as bad as 5-6 SCOTUS justices seem to be, they are on the level of James Madison when compared to some of the lower court judges. There are solid post-constitutional majorities on 9 of the 13 circuit courts as well as a majority of district courts. Obama has filled 53 of the 179 appellate judgeships in the federal circuits and over 250 of the 673 on a district level. These are people who believe that the Constitution is unconstitutional and that illegal aliens have the right to come here and demand services. Why should we tolerate this for one more day? Mike Pence vows to use 'all legal means at our disposal' to reinstate Muslim travel ban. Vice President Mike Pence promised on Sunday [2/5/2017] that he will use 'all legal means at our disposal' to reinstate the suspended Muslim travel ban. Pence said that Judge James Robart's decision on Friday [2/3/2017] that the ban was unconstitutional and had to be delayed was 'wrong'. 'From the outset of his campaign and administration, the president of the United States has made it clear to put the safety of the American people first,' Pence told Fox News Sunday. 'We are going to win this argument.' Trump urged to put GPS trackers on refugees until travel ban decided. President Trump and his Justice Department are being urged to go slow on appealing a court's rejection of their travel ban and follow Germany's example and put GPS ankle bracelets on visitors from the seven targeted nations until a final decision is made. A prominent legal expert said that the administration should wait to appeal until Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch gets to the court, giving Trump a 5-4 majority and in the meantime put the tracking devices on any refugee or visitor. Immigration. First of all, let's get something straight: this isn't anything new. President Obama in 2011 all but halted visas for Iraqis after two Iraqi immigrants were arrested in Kentucky on suspicion of terrorist ties. Further back, the Chinese Exclusion Act was the first piece of American legislation meant to prevent a specific ethnic group from entering the United States. The left's Patron Deity of Statist Assery FDR in 1942 turned away hundreds of desperate Jewish refugees on the SS Drottningholm, claiming they were a threat to national security. It's a [deplorable] history, but I don't see the pearl-clutching condemners of Trump's recent Executive Order mentioning it in their current outrage about the halt to immigration. Mexico's remittances reach almost $27 billion. Mexicans living abroad sent home almost $27 billion in 2016, the highest yearly figure on record, the central bank reported on Wednesday [2/1/2017]. The remittances rose 8.8 percent, from $24.78 billion in 2015 to 26.97 billion last year. At the Border Patrol, Trump lifts morale that was at an all-time low. Despite Mexico's pledge to stem the flow of Central American migrants entering its country from bordering Guatemala, the numbers have increased over the past year. The number of unaccompanied children apprehended at the Southwest border jumped nearly 50 percent between fiscal years 2015-2016, from 39,970 to 59,692. In the first three months of this fiscal year (Oct. 1-Dec. 31), 21,321 have already been apprehended, according to Border Patrol stats. But it is the number of family units apprehended that is staggering. Apprehensions jumped 95 percent between fiscal years 2015-2016, from 39,838 to 77,674. The numbers for the 2017 fiscal year have already surpassed the total for 2015, with 44,843 apprehended the past few months, according to Border Patrol. Trump Ejects Obama Holdover. When President Obama issued his executive orders known as DACA and DAPA, which directly violated our immigration laws by granting work permits to illegal aliens, his Justice Department defended them all the way to the Supreme Court. When President Trump issues executive orders upholding our immigration laws passed by Congress, government lawyers refuse to defend them, undermining the rule of law. Defending the temporary suspension of entry by non-U.S. citizens, White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller pointed out that "No citizen of a foreign country has a constitutional right to enter the United States." Otherwise, anyone who is denied a visa to visit our country could sue for the massive benefits that the taxpayers provide to citizens and legal residents. Quinnipiac Poll: Voters Support Limits on Immigration. A national Quinnipiac university poll released today says American voters support, 48 [to] 42 percent, "suspending immigration from 'terror prone' regions, even if it means turning away refugees from those regions." Quinnipiac University conducted the poll between Jan. 5 and Jan. 9, weeks before President Donald Trump issued the recent executive orders, ordering "new vetting measures" to keep "radical Islamic terrorists" out of the United States. Mexican Official Threatens to Unleash Cartels, Flood U.S. With Drugs and Narcotics. If people had doubts about the Mexican government being influenced and controlled by drug cartels, well, they can put that doubt away. In a stunning segment on Fareed Zakaria's CNN broadcast today [1/29/2017] Mexico's former foreign minister, Jorge Castaneda, states the Mexican government is willing to counter U.S. President Donald Trump policy by unleashing drug cartels upon the U.S. border. Yes, The Trump Executive Order On Immigration Is Legal. At National Review, lawyers Andrew McCarthy and Dan McLaughlin wrote about how the orders were legal and not all that much of a departure from Obama's immigration policy regarding refugees, visas, and national security — though McLaughlin added that he was troubled that the Trump administration was deluding America's tradition of taking in refugees and granting asylum to those who have been persecuted for a variety of sociopolitical reasons. At the same time, he noted that the Obama administration also discriminated against Christian Syrian refugees, ended the wet foot, dry foot policy with Cubans fleeing their communist hell hole, and stopped processing Iraqi visas for six months in 2011. Oh, and some of those visa applicants served as interpreters for the U.S. military and provided intelligence to our forces. But a Democrat was in the White House, and as McLaughlin cited, Cubans are more conservative-leaning voters, therefore not a priority for liberals, nor are persecuted Christians in the Middle East. It's not worthy of liberal outrage, but now with Republicans back in power — everything is triggering. Illegal Aliens Really Do Vote - A Lot. The brutal truth is that illegal aliens vote, and in large numbers. Voter fraud is not exclusive to illegal aliens. There are also legal aliens (green card, H1B visas, tourist visa holders, etc.) who vote illegally. And it's not just Latin Americans. The non-citizen demographic includes South Asian tech workers, Irish overstays, West and Horn of Africa immigrants, and Asian students. Then there are dual-state voters (college kids, snowbirds, transients), reincarnated voters, and un-purged voters long moved from their precincts. While few cases are prosecuted, it's not because few crimes are committed. Political pressure from Democrats and the cowardly establishment, open-borders Republicans, precludes rigorous enforcement. The United States Attorney in Virginia refused to prosecute such cases in several Northern Virginia counties. The Democratic Party Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Elections refused to release any information on illegal alien registrations. Trump's radical immigration plan: Enforce the law. There's one fundamental difference between the new White House and the old when it comes to immigration: Barack Obama ordered his administration not to enforce a number of immigration laws. Donald Trump has ordered his administration to enforce them. Trump's two immigration executive orders, issued Wednesday, are long, far-reaching, and complicated. But perhaps the most consequential passage in the two combined orders is a single sentence: "The purpose of this order is to direct executive departments and agencies to employ all lawful means to enforce the immigration laws of the United States." That is the heart of Trump's immigration strategy. Obama's Open Borders Policy Undone: Trump Reverses Course. Moving swiftly to fulfill his campaign promise to get the nation's illegal immigration problem under control, President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on Jan. 25 that constitute an almost complete reversal of the Obama administration's nonenforcement and open borders policy. From improving the physical barrier at our southern border to finally moving against sanctuary cities, these two executive orders put into effect a comprehensive program designed to secure our borders, implement interior enforcement, and reintegrate the assistance of state and local governments into federal efforts to enforce our immigration laws. It has been a long time coming, but it seems to be finally happening: The federal government is actually enforcing our immigration laws. Survey: Most Mexico-Bound Cash Remittances Sent by Undocumented Workers. Most of the billions of dollars in cash sent to Mexico by Mexicans living in the U.S. is transferred by "undocumented" workers, and the total was expected to top $26 billion in 2016, according to research by the Washington institute Inter-American Dialogue. Mexico is the fourth largest recipient of all cash transfers — known as remittances — worldwide, according to the Congressional Research Service. A survey by Inter-American Dialogue of remittances to Mexico found that a majority, 67 percent in 2013, were sent by "undocumented" individuals living in the U.S. Undocumented immigrant rights activist loses her battle to avoid being deported. An immigration rights activist whose own undocumented status was exposed by a drunken-driving arrest has lost her six-month legal battle to remain in the country. Wendy Uruchi Contreras, a Virginia organizer for the immigrant rights group CASA, was deported to Spain Tuesday after last-ditch appeals were denied by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. Mexico threatens to take your ball and go home. Mexico is America's third largest trading partner. The United States last year bought $60 billion more from Mexico than it sold. On top of that, Mexicans in America — both legal and illegal — sent home $25 billion in what are called remittances. How much of this is welfare money (which includes food stamps and other handouts) is unknown. Between trade and remittances, doing business with the United States represents one-quarter of the Mexican economy. Mexico represents 1.4% of the U.S. economy. Self-deportation begins: There's nothing more permanent than something that's supposed to be temporary. Get Ready for Passport "Globalization". Over one billion people presently cross borders each year. In addition, there are over 250 million people who are expatriates — living outside their home country. These numbers are higher than ever before in history and growing. As The Great Unravelling progresses, we will witness a dramatic increase in both statistics. Along the way, we can expect the more restrictive governments, particularly those of the EU and US, to institute limitations on travel for their citizens, in order to keep them captive at home. So, we can therefore anticipate changes in the issuance of passports. There are two concepts afoot with regard to the future of passports, and they're direct opposites to each other. The first is for a Global Passport, that all countries would issue and all would share computer information on all passport holders. The other is a proliferation of passports created by an easing of citizenship requirements in small countries, resulting in each individual having the ability to possess several passports, thus diminishing his "ownership" by his home country. Every 33 Seconds An Immigrant Is Added to US. The United States' population will increase by one person every 17 seconds, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's population projections for the new year. These stats come from projections that show there will be a new birth in the U.S. every eight seconds, a death every 11 seconds, and a new immigrant (legal or not) every 33 seconds. Obama's 'Red Carpet': Feds Dump 40 Migrants at Texas Bus Stop. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents released a group of 40 women who illegally entered the United States from Central American countries at a bus station in south Texas. The influx of women and children illegally crossing the border from Mexico has been increasing steadily over the past year. The women from Central America were seen being dropped off Thursday night [12/29/2016] by ICE officials at the bus station in Laredo, Texas, KGNS reported. The women were released with their personal belongings and a promise to appear before an immigration judge at some point in the future. Fix Immigration. It's What Voters Want. Donald J. Trump smashed many orthodoxies on his way to victory, but immigration was the defining issue separating him from his primary opponents and Hillary Clinton. President-elect Trump now has a clear mandate not only to stop illegal immigration, but also to finally cut the generation-long influx of low-skilled immigrants that undermines American workers. Yet many powerful industries benefit from such immigration. They're arguing that immigration controls are creating a low-skilled labor shortage. "We're pretty much begging for workers," Tom Nassif, the chief executive of Western Growers, a trade organization that represents farmers, said on CNN. A fast-food chain founder warned, "Our industry can't survive without Mexican workers." Cotton: Trump earned 'clear mandate' to stop illegal immigration. Sen. Tom Cotton argued Wednesday [11/28/2016] that President-elect Trump has a 'clear mandate' to weed out illegal immigration and reform a system to prioritize American workers over unskilled, foreign workers. In an op-ed in The New York Times, Cotton pressed that a large part of Trump's victory in November was due to his stance on the issue. "President-elect Trump now has a clear mandate not only to stop illegal immigration, but also to finally cut the generation-long influx of low-skilled immigrants that undermines American workers," Cotton said, arguing that the immigration system skews toward the rich and powerful and their ability to bring in cheap, migrant workers in order to drive down wages. U.N. Goes All-In For Unlimited Migration. The United Nations has cooked up a "New Urban Agenda" coming soon to a city near you. It was unveiled this week in Quito, Ecuador, at the so-called Habitat III conference. And part of the plan, enthusiastically embraced by Hillary Clinton, calls for unlimited migration across open borders. Migrants displaced by war, failing economies or other hardships will be seen as having "rights" in nations other than their own. Cities are seen as the key battlegrounds and the U.N. conference in Quito had a lot to say about how your city will be expected to embrace migrants of all types, from all regions of the world. Migrants arriving at border soar 10-fold under Obama. The number of migrants arriving at the U.S. border seeking asylum has soared dramatically in 2016 and is now about 10 times higher than it was in 2009, according to statistics from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. That's no coincidence, according to a new report by the Center for Immigration Studies, but a direct result of a policy change that came from President Obama's pen. Asylum seekers must show a "credible fear" of returning to their home country for reasons of ethnic, religious or political persecution. But what's changed is the way they are treated when they arrive at the U.S. border. Report: Illegals taking 'middle or high skill jobs,' over 500,000 since 2009. Some 60 percent of illegal immigrants who entered the United States with a college education are landing good jobs, countering the image that most end up in low wage, agriculture positions, according to a new report. From 2009, about 504,000 of the educated illegal immigrants have taken "middle or high still jobs," positions that critics believe should go only to native born Americans or naturalized citizens. The Migration Policy Institute said in a new report that "it is notable that 60 percent of unauthorized immigrants were working in middle or high skill jobs." 'Legacy': 10 Ways Barack Obama Broke the American System. [#10] Executive action on immigration. Obama abused prosecutorial discretion in 2012 in announcing "Deferred Action for Children of Americans" (DACA) in 2012, even after Congress declined to pass legislation on "Dreamers." But the real offense came after the 2014 elections, when Obama defied the electorate and announced an "executive amnesty" — "Deferred Action for Parents of Americans" (DAPA) — that he himself said dozens of times was unconstitutional (he lost in the courts). Obama: It's 'Inevitable' That America Is Getting 'Browner'. President Obama declared America was getting "browner" and that such a thing was unavoidable in an NPR interview released Monday [12/19/2016]. Obama said, "With respect to how we deal with each other, the demographics of the country are going to change. It's inevitable." Obama And His Admission Of Treason. A browner country is exactly what Gay Mulatto wanted. It's why he refuses to close the border, why he won't enforce immigration laws, why he wanted to fast-track unconditional amnesty and give illegals the vote, and why he has spent years and political capital bum rushing Somalis into heartland America. Make no mistake, this was Gay Mulatto's treasonous plan all along: the dispossession and demographic displacement of White heritage America. Open borders to the brown world was his biggest middle finger yet to the White lineage that he so despises in his own family tree. Let 'em Move to Chappaqua: 2% of All Haitians Now In Mexico, Poised to Swarm Into U.S. Over 150,000 Haitians have immigrated to the northern Mexican state of Baja California in the past eight months, with many hoping to reach the United States. El Universal reported Monday [12/19/2016] that the equivalent of 1.5 percent of Haiti's population had immigrated to the Mexican state. Haitians receive amnesty through Temporary Protected Status and thousands who have migrated to Mexico have hoped to take advantage of this benefit or receive asylum. 1,574 Per Day: Border Officials Struggle Under Increasing Wave of Illegal Migration. About 1,574 — that's how many illegal aliens were apprehended at the U.S. Mexico border per day during the month of November, marking the fifth straight month of escalating illegal immigration into the southwest United States. And now, in addition to the tens of thousands of illegals streaming in from Central America, officials are reporting increased waves of Cubans and Haitians crossing into the United States via Mexico. CBP reported late last week that they'd caught a total of 47,214 illegal aliens at the border last month, up from the 46,191 they'd apprehended in October. Attorney General shuts down Obama's plan to pardon thousands of illegal migrants. THE US Attorney General has shut down any hope for a mass pardon of illegal immigrants in America before Donald Trump takes office. Loretta Lynch shot down left-leaning hopes for a blanket clemency rule for thousands of illegal immigrants en masse. The head of the Department of Justice, appointed by Barack Obama himself, told Politico that a last-minute mass pardon before the president left the Oval Office was impossible. San Francisco Leftists Outraged and Fearful That Immigrants Are Taking Over Their Neighborhoods. As long as Somali refugees and other Third World migrants are seeded into small cities in the Midwest, the lefty-loos of San Francisco are all for it. But don't go sticking those dirty brown foreigners in their neighborhoods. Attorney General shuts down Obama's plan to pardon thousands of illegal migrants. The US Attorney General has shut down any hope for a mass pardon of illegal immigrants in America before Donald Trump takes office. Loretta Lynch shot down left-leaning hopes for a blanket clemency rule for thousands of illegal immigrants en masse. The head of the Department of Justice, appointed by Barack Obama himself, told Politico that a last-minute mass pardon before the president left the Oval Office was impossible. DHS 'snafu' gives Illegal aliens green cards. [T]hanks to the Obama administration's incompetence that's been observed repeatedly, upon taking office on Jan. 20, 2017, President Trump will face an immigration and homeland security behemoth gone berserk. For example, a report released by the Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Inspector General admits that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services problems experienced in the agency's so-called Green Cards issuance program are far worse than originally believed. The audit was conducted as a follow-up to a March 2016 report in which the DHS OIG revealed that the USCIS had sent hundreds of Green Cards to the wrong addresses. Obama administration fails to check immigrants against FBI databases, approves citizenship. Some 175 immigrants were approved for citizenship even though their names weren't properly run through the FBI's name-check databases, potentially missing red flags that may have disqualified them from naturalization, the Obama administration admitted this weekend. Homeland Security officials blamed computer code for the problem, which affected about 15,000 applications in total. The problem was significant enough that the government halted all naturalization ceremonies already in the pipeline and banned U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services officers from approving new citizenship applications beginning on Nov. 29, when officials acknowledged the problem in an internal email that was later obtained by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte. Chief Justice Roberts Uses Obama's Words Against Him on Immigration Case. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. prodded the Obama administration Monday to explain President Obama's immigration flip-flop, when Mr. Obama in 2014 reversed himself and decided he did, after all, have powers to grant a tentative amnesty to as many as 5 million illegal immigrants. Mr. Obama had repeatedly denied he had that kind of power, then after the 2014 election, when Congress refused to act on his policies, the president claimed a do-over and said he did have the power. Border Patrol agents warming burritos, babysitting for illegals, chief says. Border Patrol agents have been reduced to "professional child care providers" for illegal immigrants, warming burritos and babysitting the families and unaccompanied children who are surging across the border at an increasing rate, the agents' frustrated chief told Congress on Wednesday. Chief Mark Morgan, who was tapped to lead the agency in June, said he has had to pull hundreds of his agents from patrolling against drugs and illegal border crossers in Arizona and California and shipped them to Texas, where they would be manning what amounts to day care holding centers, stocking baby powder and placing requisition orders for baby wipes. Feds halt new citizenship approvals after Obama admin's gaffe on background checks. The government suspended naturalization ceremonies and banned officers from approving any new applications for citizenship earlier this week after realizing its background check system was broken and ineligible people may have been slipping through, a key congressman revealed Friday [12/2/2016]. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, whose office was tipped off to the monumental error, said he was stunned by the problem — and also by the fact that the administration never bothered to inform him of it. In the internal email Mr. Goodlatte obtained, the associate director at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ordered all officers "not to approve or oath any naturalization cases in ELIS," referring to the Electronic Immigration System that's the case management system for processing applications. Illegal immigrant Dreamers get help from senators for full legal status. After the White House ruled out a pardon for illegal immigrant Dreamers, a bipartisan group of senators vowed Thursday to write a bill next year granting them full legal status — though they will need to persuade a President Trump to back their effort. Two veterans of the last major immigration fight, Sen. Richard J. Durbin, Illinois Democrat, and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, said trying to deport some 740,000 illegal immigrant Dreamers would be inhumane. They said they will try to have a bill written next week and ready to go in the new year, and perhaps pass it before the next Congress is sworn in and before Mr. Trump's Jan. 20 inauguration. Hell on the border. Barack Obama's legacy, intended or not, is the hell on the border that he invited and nurtures. The crisis is darker than ever, and the Obama administration seems only to know how to make it worse. The number of illegal aliens surging across the Rio Grande is growing by every day and night, and the Border Patrol is reduced in some places to minding day-care centers. The United States is showing kindness and compassion, which is all to the good, to those who never felt it or saw it in their home countries. It's taking a toll on American interests. Mark Morgan, the chief of the Border Patrol, told Congress of his agents' frustrations on Wednesday [11/30/2016] in testimony to the Senate Homeland Security Committee. U.S. Workplace English Rules Discriminatory, Foreign Language Demands Aren't. Requiring employees in the United States to speak a foreign language is not discriminatory but forcing them to speak English violates federal law under a sweeping order issued by the Obama administration to crack down on "national origin discrimination" in the workplace. The government's new enforcement guidelines state that bilingual requirements don't meet discrimination claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act but English-only rules do because they're restrictive language policies. The administration asserts that the new rules, which cover a broad range of scenarios that could get employers in trouble, were created because the American workforce is "increasingly ethnically diverse." Dreamers who signed up for deportation protection now feel exposed. Hundreds of thousands of young immigrants living in the country illegally willingly came out of the shadows and identified themselves to the Obama administration on the promise that they'd be safe from deportation and allowed to work. Some may now regret that decision. White House shrugs off lack of Christian refugees, won't pardon illegals. The Obama administration sees no problem with the low numbers of persecuted Christian refugees getting into the United States, and likely won't pardon the millions of illegals seeking protection from President-elect Donald Trump. White House Domestic Policy Advisor Cecilia Muñoz said that a pardon won't give illegals the protection they really need, legal citizenship. In an interview with the Center for Migration Studies, she said, "I know that people are hoping that pardon authority is a way to protect people. It's ultimately not for a couple of reasons. One is that pardon authority is generally designed for criminal violations, not civil, but also it doesn't confer legal status, only Congress can do that, and so ultimately it wouldn't protect a single person from deportation, so it's not an answer here," she said. Department of Homeland Security Overwhelmed by Green Card Catastrophe. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued thousands of duplicate green cards to immigrants, including many that include incorrect information and allow these individuals to stay longer than permitted in the United States, according to a new government oversight report that warns the Department of Homeland Security is incapable of tracking immigrants who may pose a security risk to the United States. USCIS, which handles immigration cases and the distribution of green cards, was found to have produced at least 19,000 green cards during the past three years that were duplicates or contained incorrect information, according to a new report by the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general. Illegals advised on how to escape deportation. Mexico and three other Central American governments are scrambling to help citizens who are in the United States illegally avoid deportation under a Trump administration, warning them to avoid making "hasty" moves that might make them a target for ouster. Foreign ministers of Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras met this week to address concerns about President-elect Trump's plan to deport illegals, mostly those with criminal records. Their goal: Calm the fears of illegals, help them avoid deportation, and keep the flood of money they send home going. Mexico and Guatemala announced plans to expand immigration services at their dozens of offices in the United States. DHS loses thousands of 'Keys to the Kingdom'. President-Elect Donald Trump's campaign promise to build a wall to separate the United States from Mexico resonated with many Americans and galvanized their support, which ultimately enabled him to win the election. These voters want to prevent narcotics and illegal aliens and the criminals and terrorists among them from flowing freely into the United States. [...] While illegal immigration represents a huge multi-faceted challenge and, indeed threat, to America and Americans, the multiple failures of the legal immigration system is no less problematic. Number of illegals in detention surges 20 percent as DHS vows to deport Haitians. Homeland Security is holding some 41,000 illegal immigrants in detention right now, the department said Wednesday, as agents struggle to get control of a new surge across the border — including a wave of Haitian migrants that is testing the limits of immigration policy. House Democrats Want Obama To Pardon Illegal Aliens. Instead of worrying about the middle class, which, really, Democrats rarely do, they're more concerned with people who came to the country illegally, whether they were young or not, over the needs of American citizens. Democrats do not care about the DREAMers per se, they just want their votes. Why did Obama shut down a successful aerial surveillance program along the U.S.-Mexican border? The move to terminate the project is in line with the Obama administration's lackadaisical approach to illegal immigration and serves to underscore attempts by the administration to make the transition more difficult for the President-elect. In February 2016, the Obama administration cut funding to Operation Phalanx by 50 percent even though the project had been fully funded by Congress and was by all accounts, demonstrably successful. But therein lies the problem. Operation Phalanx may have been too successful for the administration's tastes. According to Watchdog.org, in the Laredo sector alone, "Operation Phalanx accounted for 10,559 apprehensions and 4,007 'turnbacks' from March 2012 to December 2015. Phalanx was credited with seizing 12,851 pounds of narcotics during the period." With Malicious Intent — Obama's Homeland Security Shuts Down Aerial Surveillance of Southern Border. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security quietly shut down Operation Phalanx, an aerial surveillance program that intercepts drugs and illegal crossings along the Mexican border. Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Laredo, vows to challenge DHS's move, saying Congress provided "full funding" for 2017. Cuellar, a member of the House Appropriations Committee and the Homeland Security Subcommittee, is drafting a letter to DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson protesting the shutdown. Obama 'opens borders' in his final weeks by 'quietly shutting down surveillance scheme'. Barack Obama has been accused of "opening" America's borders in the final weeks of his presidency by "quietly" shutting down the national border surveillance programme. The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Operation Phalanx, was launched in 2010 to supply the National Guard with resources to monitor illegal border crossings and drug smuggling operations. But Obama closed the programme, despite being fully funded for another year, because of a major reduction in illegal crossings. Obama shutting off aerial surveillance at border proves the need for border wall. If you talk to a liberal about solutions for our porous border, they are willing to discuss everything but a fixed, border fence. They'll filibuster the conversation with talk about aerial surveillance, more border agents, "virtual fencing," cameras, and sensors, etc. But the minute the discussion turns to a physical barrier on the border, they clam up and adamantly oppose it. Why the hatred for a physical fence? For one thing, fences work. 7 things Sessions can do immediately to restore the rule of law at Justice. [#6] Immediately seek deportation for all illegal re-entrants: Deportations have become encumbered in a myriad of civil proceedings. There is definitely a long-term need to tighten up some enforcement statutes. But one low-hanging piece of fruit is for the DOJ to immediately seek expedited deportation for those who have re-entered illegally for a second time. Illegal re-entry is automatically a criminal prosecution, not a civil case. Moreover, many of the re-entrants are criminal aliens and should be immediately deported anyway. How 65 countries have erected fences on their borders. Globalisation was supposed to tear down barriers, but security fears and a widespread refusal to help migrants and refugees have fuelled a new spate of wall-building across the world, with a third of the world's countries constructing them along their borders. When the Berlin Wall was torn down a quarter-century ago, there were 16 border fences around the world. Today, there are 65 either completed or under construction, according to Quebec University expert Elisabeth Vallet. Hidden Ipsos Poll: Public Strongly Backs Donald Trump's Plan To 'Pause' Legal Immigration. A just-released poll shows that Donald Trump's campaign-trail immigration and labor policies have overwhelming public support, and strong opposition from just one-sixth of voters. The Ipsos poll shows that only about one-in-six Americans strongly oppose Trump's policies towards immigrant labor, repatriations, sanctuary cities, Islamic migrants, employer oversight and his ground-breaking proposal to reduce legal immigration. Haitian illegal immigrants pouring into U.S., exploiting Obama policies. Haitian illegal immigrants are pouring into the U.S. at a rate of some 3,000 a month, blazing new paths and exploiting special policies and lax Obama administration enforcement to gain a foothold in the country, according to a secret government intelligence assessment. Thanks to advice from family members already in the U.S., new immigrants are spreading out across the border, testing crossings in Arizona and Texas where they have been told they will have an easier time getting through, analysts said in a Nov. 17 bulletin from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's office of intelligence, which The Washington Times reviewed. Border bribery: A year's salary in one day to let in drugs, illegals, terrorists. Drug cartels and human trafficking operations south of the border have become so rich and brazen that they are bribing U.S. border agents a year's salary in just one day, according to a new report. "Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson" on Sunday reports that bribery is so bad that U.S. Customs and Border Protection are instituting new hiring practices and the FBI has 22 Border Corruption Task Forces targeting corruption. Obama halts amnesty push in court, bows to incoming Trump administration. The administration has already taken the first step to accommodate President-elect Trump's positions, agreeing Friday to take a timeout on President Obama's push to kick-start his 2014 deportation amnesty. In documents filed with a federal judge in Texas the Justice Department said that in light of the new management that will take over next year, the case should be suspended. 'If you don't like Trump, leave the country,' US judge tells new citizens. A federal judge in San Antonio, Texas, told an audience during a citizenship ceremony that if they don't like President-elect Donald Trump, they should go to another country. John Primomo, a federal magistrate judge for the United States District Court in the Western District of Texas, was presiding over the ceremony on Thursday [11/17/2016]. He criticized Americans who have protested in the days after Trump won the elections, according to KHOU. Federal judge: 'If you don't like [Trump], you should go to another country'. Donald Trump's election looms over a U.S. citizenship ceremony in San Antonio, as the judge presiding over the ceremony says if you don't like that Trump will be president, go to another country. "I can assure you that whether you voted for him or you did not vote for him, if you are a citizen of the United States, he is your president," Judge John Primomo said. "He will be your president and if you do not like that, you need to go to another country." The room at the Institute of Texan Cultures Thursday night was a melting pot, a collection of hopeful faces now bound together under one flag. During the ceremony, the federal judge presiding over the ceremony talked about Donald Trump's election. Obama ally Lindsey Graham vows to fight Trump on illegal amnesty repeal. The South Carolina Republican, a stalwart proponent of the Gang of Eight amnesty bill, told reporters Tuesday [11/15/2016] that Trump ought to tread lightly around a full repeal of President Obama's illegal executive order on amnesty, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. "Here is a problem that we have: You've got about a million DREAM Act kids who came here as small children, lived here all their lives. Now they have legal status by executive order," Graham told reporters, according to The Hill. Obama's DACA order provides illegal residents who came to this country as minors temporary protection from deportation and work authorization, should they meet certain criteria. President-elect Trump has called DACA an "illegal and unconstitutional" executive order and pledged to "cancel every unconstitutional, executive action, memorandum, and order issued by President Obama" within the first 100 days of his presidency. Sen. Graham voiced his objection to any Trump plan that would deport non-violent illegal aliens. The Editor says... Why the Left and the Right should oppose government registries. President Obama's 2012 DACA executive order granted a temporary renewable work permit and protection from deportation to some unlawful immigrants brought here as children. About 665,000 signed up for it, allowing them to work legally for the first time in their lives. The problem, however, is that this executive action could be overturned by the next president. Trump has promised to do that on his first day. Ending DACA is bad enough. The bigger danger is that these unlawful immigrants had to give their names, addresses and other personal information to the federal government in order to obtain DACA in the first place. The government will still have all of that identity information even if DACA is repealed. Mexico instructs its embassy and consulates in the U.S. to increase measures to protect immigrants. One week after Donald Trump's election as the next U.S. president, Mexico has issued a message of support for Mexican immigrants living in the United States: "We are with you." On Wednesday [11/16/2016], the Mexican government instructed its embassy and consulates in the U.S. to step up measures to protect Mexican immigrants. The measures include a 24-hour hotline that will allow people to report harassment and immigration raids, as well as the expansion of deportation-defense work at 50 consulates. "These are uncertain times," said Foreign Secretary Claudia Ruiz Massieu in an online video introducing the new measures. "The government of President Enrique Peña Nieto and all Mexicans are with you. We are going to be closer than ever." Haitian migrants are released from crowded jails into the US as space inside detention centers runs out. Haitian migrants have been released from crowded jails in Arizona and California as officials struggle to keep up with the number of those trying to enter the US illegally from Mexico. They have been released on the condition that they agree to return to immigration court on a decided date and are allowed to live in society monitored by ankle tags until then. An unnamed official said the immigrants are vetted before release to check for dangerous criminal backgrounds or other threats. It comes after a surge in the number of Haitians attempting to enter the US this year. Illegals demand Obama issue mass pardons amid Trump deportation fears. Illegal immigrants are preparing to ask President Obama to pardon some 750,000 Dreamers, saying such a move is their last, best hope to stave off what they fear will be a wave of deportations once Donald Trump takes the Oval Office. Community leaders have planned a rally in New York on Wednesday [11/16/2016] to make the request. "Millions of law abiding undocumented immigrants are fearful of what will happen when the new Administration takes control in January," the group of New York state lawmakers and immigration advocates said in a statement announcing the rally. "However, President Obama has the power of pardons that he can use to protect all DACA enrollees." U.S. Open Border Policy Creates Crisis, Detention Centers Maxed Out as Numbers Climb. After rolling out the welcome mat for central American illegal immigrants, the Obama administration is scrambling to halt the flow because government detention centers and charity shelters are overwhelmed with the bombardment of migrants. In the fiscal year that ended in September, the U.S. Border Patrol detained 137,366 illegal aliens — women with children or minors — at the Mexican border who qualified to stay in the country under the president's humanitarian crisis measure. That's an eye-popping 90% increase from 2015, according to government figures. 1.4 million Obama amnesty applicants on deportation hit list. Some 1.4 million illegals who followed President Obama's request to sign up for two controversial amnesty programs could be among the first to face deportation under the new administration. The reason: In exchange for getting into the two programs, they handed over their identities, home addresses, and admitted to being in the United States illegally, making them the easiest to find and legally deport. Top Trump immigration adviser predicts immediate change. A key member of President-elect Donald Trump's transition team and a top adviser on matters involving immigration told FoxNews.com Monday the incoming administration will likely move to deport illegal immigrants upon arrest. Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, a key player in several high-profile immigration measures and court cases, advised Trump on immigration during his campaign and will likely have a key role in shaping the new president's policies. Kobach said Trump is likely to scrap the Obama administration's approach of deporting only those who have been convicted, a policy he said releases dangerous people back into U.S. communities. Democrat Luis Gutierrez Threatens War If Trump Enforces Immigration Law. There have been a lot of crazy reactions from the democrats now that Donald Trump has won the presidency but none as insane as this one from US Representative Luis Gutierrez. The [trash]-talking homeboy from Illinois is threatening to go to war with Trump, ICE, DHS, and the entire federal government if the next president dares to enforce our country's immigration laws by deporting illegal aliens. Did I say insane? I meant treasonous. This SCOTUS Immigration Case Just Became Huge For Trump. The stakes of an immigration case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court heightened with Donald Trump's election to the presidency last week. The justices are scheduled to decide whether the federal government may hold illegal immigrants for periods longer than six months without a bond hearing on Nov. 30. Trump Horrifies Liberals With Plans To Immediately Deport/Jail Up To 3 Million Illegals. Leftists are trying to make a case that there aren't that many with criminal backgrounds, even when considering that crossing the border illegally is illegal. They forget that roughly 40-45% of the illegals in the country overstayed their visas, which is even more criminal than those who jumped the border. Regardless, this gives a good view into how Liberals will respond to the era of Trump, meaning meltdowns and severe opposition to everything he proposes, regardless of whether it is good policy or not. Deporting those with criminal backgrounds? How dare he! Trump says he will 'immediately' deport two to three million illegal immigrants with criminal records. President-elect Donald Trump has said he plans to deport two to three million undocumented immigrants with criminal records from the country immediately — and has insisted that he will build his wall. In his first extensive interview since he won the White House, Trump is reassuring his supporters that he will deport or incarcerate up to three million 'gang members' and 'drug dealers.' Trump: Criminals will be deported first. Donald Trump will begin tackling the issue of illegal immigration by rounding up and deporting undocumented immigrants with criminal records, a group that he estimates at 2 million to 3 million people, the president-elect said in an interview to air Sunday night. "What we are going to do is get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably 2 million, it could be even 3 million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate," he said in the interview, to air on "60 Minutes" on CBS. "But we're getting them out of our country; they're here illegally." Trump re-affirms plan to immediately deport 2 to 3 million illegal aliens. President-elect Donald Trump said that he will incarcerate or deport up to three million illegal aliens upon taking office in January. In a Sunday [11/13/2016] interview, Trump told "60 Minutes" that he is going to "get the people that are criminal and have criminal records, gang members, drug dealers, where a lot of these people, probably two million, it could be even three million, we are getting them out of our country or we are going to incarcerate." ACLU Threatens to Sue Donald Trump for Deporting Illegal Aliens. The American Civil Liberties Union sure didn't [care] when Hillary Clinton was promising to abolish the 2nd Amendment and confiscate guns, but boy are they on Donald Trump's [case] because he intends to enforce the law. The faux civil rights [group] issued a threat to the president-elect because, among other things, he plans to deport illegal aliens, which the ACLU claims is unconstitutional. The ACLU wasted no time in telling the newly elected Trump that they would "see him in court" if he does any of the things he campaigned on: [...] Illegal aliens have no right to be in this country nor do they have any right to not be deported. No one, and that includes Muslims, has a right to enter our country; that is a privilege. Migrant Surge Forces Border Patrol to Deploy More Agents in Texas. The U.S. Border Patrol will deploy additional agents to the Rio Grande Valley Sector in South Texas in response to the surge of illegal immigrants crossing the border. Agents in the sector have seen a massive surge in the numbers of Family Unit Aliens (FMUA) and Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) in the past two months. On Friday, Breitbart Texas reported a 37 percent increase in FMUA apprehensions in October. That same month saw a 19 percent increase in UAC apprehensions. Limbaugh Predicts Millions Of Illegal Aliens Will Be Found To Have Voted. ["]You know what they're gonna find? I will predict that before this is all said and done, a lot of illegal aliens will be found to have voted, in the millions. You wait. Let me rephrase it. I won't be surprised if this happens, and it will be enough to blow apart whatever theory these people have that Hillary won the popular vote, because you'll have to take those illegal votes out, and when that happens, she will not have won anything.["] Louie Gohmert — "Oh Yeah, The Wall Will Be Built. The Money Is Already There". What Louie Gohmert outlines in this interview is transparently obvious. Most Americans have no idea how much is already appropriated and spent on silliness as it relates to the southern border. Here's one example from 2015 [...] $360,000,000 spent on a drone program that doesn't work. Obama Will Hand Massive List Of Illegal Immigrants To Trump, Complete With Addresses. Over the last four years, Obama launched two efforts to effectively block the deportation of certain illegal immigrants. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), begun in 2012, blocked deportation for so-called "dreamers," who arrived in the U.S. illegally as children. Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA), started in 2014, blocked the deportation of adults who had American citizen children. DAPA was largely invalidated by federal court rulings, but DACA is still in place for the time being. More than 1.4 million people applied for DACA, and an unknown additional amount for DAPA, and both required providing the government their name and home address. At the time, the government pledged that all information provided would be hidden from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enforcers, but there is no legal guarantee to ensure that remains the case forever. Trump might not need to build that wall after all: Illegals say they've given up trying to cross since he won the election. When would-be immigrants Bernardino and Samuel got word in Mexico of the election of Donald Trump, they immediately gave up their plans to cross illegally into the United States. The rhetoric that originally fueled the billionaire populist's rise to power was built around his ambitious promises to deport the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the US and to build a 'big, beautiful, powerful wall' along the border with Mexico. Now, with the New York Republican's stunning victory Tuesday, fear and uncertainty are surging among undocumented immigrants. The Editor says... 'Unwavering strength': Alabama immigrants, advocates vow to fight Trump policies. [Scroll down past sob story] Immigrants and their advocates across the United States were stunned by the election of Donald Trump as America's 45th president Tuesday, a development that many people believe poses an existential threat to the nation's ranks of undocumented immigrants. But in Alabama, representatives of pro-immigrant groups say that they and even some of the undocumented immigrants they work with are not as concerned as some of their counterparts in other states. 1.4 million Obama amnesty applicants on deportation hit list. Some 1.4 million illegals who followed President Obama's request to sign up for two controversial amnesty programs could be among the first to face deportation under the new administration. The reason: In exchange for getting into the two programs, they handed over their identities, home addresses, and admitted to being in the United States illegally, making them the easiest to find and legally deport. Illegal immigrants vow to defy Trump, call on Obama to halt deportations. Advocates for illegal immigrants sounded the alarm Wednesday morning [11/9/2016] as Donald Trump was poised to claim the White House, vowing to resist an expected crackdown and calling on localities to declare themselves sanctuary cities, resisting the federal government. They also demanded President Obama halt all deportations for the rest of his tenure. Virginia Dem Suggests 'ID Document' for Illegal Immigrants to Show They're 'Not Breaking Any Laws'. Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) said he would support legislation to simplify the immigration visa system if both parties cannot come to an agreement on a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. "Absolutely, as we make sure that people are properly vetted for Homeland Security purposes. But, yeah, even the path to citizenship, there's much we can do before that — letting people get driver's licenses, making sure people are paying taxes — those aren't necessarily citizenship but it takes them out of the shadows, takes the families away from fear," he told PJM at the Virginia Democrats' election results event in the Beltway on Tuesday evening [1/8/2016]. Traffic Stop Leads to Discovery of 20 Illegal Aliens. The rescue occurred when a United States citizen, driving a commercial moving truck, was pulled over by HCSO deputies near San Manuel, Texas. As the deputies made contact with the driver, a Border Patrol unit was requested to assist. Agents arrived and observed suspicious indicators on the trailer which led to the discovery of twenty immigrants trapped in the locked cargo. Tim Kaine Cheers End of White Majority in Spanish Address. During an Arizona speech delivered in Spanish, Sen. Tim Kaine cheered the demographic transformation of the United States caused by the nation's federal immigration policies, telling his Latino audience on Thursday [11/3/2016], "You are the future of America." "By 2050, communities of color will represent the majority of our population," Kaine said. "So, of course, Latinos will help shape the future of America because you are the future of America." CA Attorney General: Use Of Term 'Illegal Alien' Is Offensive, Must Stop Treating 'Undocumented' As Criminals. This is the chief law enforcement officer in California. Final Warning from Immigration Officers: Clinton, Open Borders Will 'Unleash' Violence, 'Countless Preventable Deaths' in America. In a final warning to the American people ahead of Tuesday's election, the nation's frontline immigration officers are calling upon voters to reject Hillary Clinton and her "radical" open borders vision that will "unleash" violence in American communities and "cause countless preventable deaths." Although the nation's border emergency goes virtually unreported by "corporate-funded media," Clinton's immigration policies would greatly exacerbate the crisis, the officers warn in a statement written by the president of the National ICE Council, which represents the nation's roughly 5,000 frontline ICE officers, agents, and personnel. Rutgers student newspaper fires columnist for attempting to write 'illegal immigrant'. The campus newspaper at Rutgers University fired a student columnist after he confronted editors who would not let him use the phrase "illegal immigrant" in a piece about illegal immigration. The term does not actually appear in the final Daily Targum column written by Aviv Khavich, a sophomore engineering student at the New Jersey university. An editor changed every mention of the highly politicized phrase to "undocumented alien" or "undocumented immigrant" without the author's approval. The column is titled — ironically, it turns out — "Enforcement of law is not anti-immigrant." Top Radio Host Michael Savage: "We're Being Invaded Right Now". Not all invasions are hot — not all invaders come with guns and bombs. And Barack Obama, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and other Western leaders are "invading their own countries," says radio host Michael Savage, using a foreign army introduced under the banner of "immigration," "illegal migration" and "refugee status." Feds eye Ohio prison for housing Haitian illegal immigrants. Haitians crossing illegally into the U.S. via the Mexican border could wind up in an Ohio prison under a federal plan to accommodate them pending immigration hearings. The Department of Homeland Security is negotiating with the operators of the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center to lease space to house an anticipated influx of Haitian illegal immigrants, according to the Wall Street Journal. Officials with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a division of DHS, expect thousands from the impoverished island nation to cross across the U.S.'s southwestern border from Mexico. The proposed use of the prison, which is operated by private company CoreCivic, has met opposition in the Buckeye State. Undocumented America: The Truth of Illegal Immigration. Roughly 11 million people currently live in the United States illegally, according to the Pew Research Center. Between 33 and 50 percent do so by overstaying their visas. However, both the number of apprehensions and the total number of undocumented migrants in the United States have fallen significantly since 2014, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The reason for this drop-off can be attributed to the state of the American economy, Raúl Hinojosa-Ojeda, director of the North American integration and development center, and professor at UCLA, told FOXBusiness.com. "I mean, you can literally set your clock to this," said Ojeda. "As the unemployment rate declines, that's exactly when you start seeing the kids coming back to the border. Why? Because their parents now have a job and more money." Soros Spends Millions to Unseat Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Sheriff [Joe] Arpaio has spent the majority of his 23 years in office in the spotlight for his strong, conservative practices. Much of the heat he has taken has been over his stance on illegal immigration. Arpaio began focusing on the myriad legal problems associated with illegal immigrants in 2005. Since then, his office has run a large number of operations investigating and raiding businesses in Maricopa County that employ illegals, and has arrested those illegals, charging them with identity theft. Arpaio's office also conducts sweeps and raids of day-labor sites. He boasts a tremendous success rate in nearly 60 raids, with 100 percent of the people arrested for using stolen identity cards being proven to be illegal immigrants. The philosophy behind Arpaio's law-enforcement efforts is simple: Since a disproportionate percentage of crime is committed by illegals, arresting them for using stolen identities (which they do to appear legal) before they commit other crimes reduces overall crime and serves the public interest. In a press conference after ramping up his efforts to protect the border in 2007, Arpaio said, "Ours is an operation where we want to go after illegals, not the crime first," adding, "It's a pure program. You go after them, and you lock them up." Unseen overflow of immigrants; Local respite center sees 300 percent increase in October. Oscar Villarreal fled El Salvador after gang members demanded a monthly payment in exchange for the lives of his two children. "I couldn't pay what they were asking, so we just packed up and left," Villarreal said in Spanish on Thursday [11/3/2016] outside the Humanitarian Respite Center at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. [...] Families like Villarreal's have been flooding the center in record numbers over the last few months, but October has been the busiest since the center opened in June 2014, with more than 5,600 immigrants processed. Nearly half of them had to be housed overnight, which puts an extra strain on the resources of everyone involved in this humanitarian effort. Days Before Election Border Patrol Union Drops Bombshell, Sends Dems Into Panic. Border Patrol agents who spoke exclusively to Breitbart Texas made it clear that information is being withheld from the public because of the negative impact it would surely have on the Democrats, particularly Hillary Clinton, in the upcoming 2016 elections. [...] "We are at breaking point," Judd said. "We have the highest number of illegal aliens in custody in history in Border Patrol's RGV Sector and this information has been kept from the American public." "The talk of amnesty has once again created pull factors and encouraged people from all over the world to cross Mexico and then cross our porous southern border to illegally enter the U.S. We are simply overwhelmed," he added. Sessions: 'Critical alert,' 817,740 illegals crossed last year. In a bid to put the issue of illegal immigration back into the presidential debate, outspoken critic Sen. Jeff Sessions on Monday [10/31/2016] issued a "Critical Alert" warning of a potentially historic surge of [immigrants] over the border. "We are simply overwhelmed," his statement said. In it he estimated the Fiscal Year 2016 illegal crossings at 817,740. Obama Admin. Uses Hurricane Matthew to Grant Amnesty to Illegal Aliens. A new alert by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced this month that the Obama administration would grant work permits to illegal aliens who were affected by the hurricane and would assist those who missed their deportation hearings. Hurricane Matthew devastated the eastern coastline from Florida to Virginia, which would mean that any illegal aliens who were in this region could take advantage of these "immigration relief" measures. According to the announcement USCIS would offer a "change of nonimmigrant status or extension of nonimmigrant stay for an individual currently in the United States," essentially giving work permits and amnesty to the illegal aliens in the region that was hit by the hurricane. Mexico on Alert over Arrival of 50,000 Haitian Immigrants on Journey to U.S. Nearly 50,000 Haitian immigrants have been stranded in Brazil, and in the coming months will pass through Mexico in order to reach the United States. President of Mexico's National Commission of Human Rights (CNDH) Luis Raul Gonzalez said that the flow of Haitian immigrants to Mexico has become an issue over recent months as the increase has accelerated. They're with her: Illegal immigrants go door-to-door on behalf of Hillary. In 2012 the Obama Administration granted temporary legal status to close to 750,000 illegal immigrants under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.Now they are going door-to-door campaigning on behalf of Hillary Clinton and other Democrats. ACLU Sues NJ Schools For Allegedly Discriminating Against Illegal Immigrants. The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey is suing five public school systems in the state for what is says is unlawful discrimination against illegal immigrants. According to the ACLU, the school systems — four public school districts and one charter school — have put up unwarranted hurdles to enrollment for illegal immigrants and the children of illegal immigrants. The source of the discrimination, the ACLU says, is the fact that all five school systems require parents to provide either a state ID or driver's license — documents not issued to illegal immigrants — to enroll their children. Hillary Clinton embraces George Soros' 'radical' vision of open-border world. Hillary Clinton has aligned herself closely with a vision for America laid out by her benefactor — left-wing financier George Soros, who talks of "international governance," more open borders, increased Muslim immigration and diminished U.S. global power. The phrase "American exceptionalism" is not part of his agenda. He wrote in 1998: "The sovereignty of states must be subordinated to international law and international institutions." "We need some global system of political decision-making. In short, we need a global society to support our global economy," Mr. Soros wrote. The stuff Hillary's Dreams Are Made Of. Courtesy of what should be an explosive WikiLeaks disclosure we finally know Hillary Clinton's fondest dream: An America without borders. It was an amazing confession by Clinton to Brazilian bankers of what the Left desperately longs for but avoids saying in public. If this huge gaffe had received a fraction of the media attention it merits, Clinton's campaign might be over. [...] It goes without saying that America's Goebbels media has made no mention of this revelation — potentially the most momentous to date from Wikileaks. So, if the electorate is going to learn about Clinton's astounding dream of America's dissolution, Trump's campaign will have to hit her gaffe hard, plain and often. The words are out of her mouth — Clinton will never again be able to credibly claim any intention to secure the nation's borders or to stop or even reduce the massive illegal invasion of America that will be the enduring legacy of the Obama years. No prior major party candidate for the American presidency has come close to expressing the goal of abolishing America's borders, more a nightmare than a dream to the overwhelming majority of Americans, 83%, according to Pew Research. Nearly 1 million illegal aliens crossed border in 2016. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security released data Monday [10/17/2016] showing illegal immigration spiked 23 percent in the fiscal year leading up to the November election, but that was only part of the story. The DHS report said 408,870 illegal aliens were apprehended at the southern border in fiscal 2016, up 23 percent from 2015. That in itself was shocking, since Democrats have always maintained that deportations have increased under Obama and the hullabaloo over "illegals" was a fiction meant to stir up the Republican base. You Knew It Was Coming: Hurricane Matthew Amnesty. Never missing an opportunity to offer illegal immigrants reprieve, the Obama administration has repeatedly used inclement weather, a virus, natural disasters and tainted water in a U.S. city to extend the perk in the last few years. This month the administration announced yet another special amnesty for victims of Hurricane Matthew. [...] The government is calling it "immigration relief" that may help people affected by unforeseen circumstances, including natural disasters such as Hurricane Matthew. Among the relief measures that will be available are work permits, "change of nonimmigrant status or extension of nonimmigrant stay" for those in the U.S. illegally and forgiveness for immigrants who blew off deportation court hearings. Nearly 65 Million U.S. Residents Spoke a Foreign Language at Home in 2015. In 2015, a record 64.7 million U.S. residents (native-born, legal immigrants, and illegal immigrants) age five and older spoke a language other than English at home. The number has more than doubled since 1990, when 31.8 million spoke a language other than English. Taking a longer view, the 64.7 million foreign-language speakers in 2015 is almost triple the number in 1980. As a share of the population, 21.5 percent of U.S. residents speak a foreign language at home — nearly double the 11 percent in 1980. Clinton-Dem Dark Arts Operatives Explain How They're Rigging Our Elections. Project Veritas' undercover journalists caught top Clintonite-Democrat operatives admitting step-by-step how they commit mass voter fraud — including by working with illegal alien activist "dreamers." This video proves Donald Trump is one-hundred percent right when he says our elections are being "rigged." Key House Democrats Plotting 2017 Amnesty Push. Two of the biggest proponents for open borders in the House of Representatives are already plotting an amnesty push for 2017. According to a senior Democratic aide, Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) — who is currently the ranking member on the House Judiciary immigration subcommittee — and Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) have held "preliminary discussions" about crafting new "comprehensive" immigration reform legislation. While these pro-amnesty Members of Congress have not yet released specifics, the bill is expected to contain mass amnesty and significant increases to legal immigration similar to the rejected Gang of Eight bill from the 113th Congress. Hillary Clinton to Goldman Sachs: Americans Who Want to Limit Immigration Are 'Fundamentally UnAmerican'. Hillary Clinton told Goldman Sachs executives that Americans who want to limit immigration are "fundamentally un-American," according to the leaked transcript of her private October 2013 speech made public by WikiLeaks. Clinton's statement is significant because it suggests that, according to polling data, Clinton views an overwhelming majority of the American electorate to be "fundamentally un-American." According to data from Pew Research Center, 83% of the American electorate would like to see immigration levels frozen or reduced. DHS Orders Border Agents to Give Haitians, Africans, Russians, Armenians Asylum Via Mexico. Throngs of Haitians, Africans, Russians, Armenians and Guatemalans are being admitted into the United States via the Mexican border with virtually no vetting for security or health risks, high level Homeland Security officials told Judicial Watch this week. Overwhelmed and understaffed border agents are bombarded daily with an onslaught of immigrants from these countries and have been ordered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to process them as refugees with "credible fear." Most are camping out in Mexican border towns and going "port shopping" before gaining entry to the U.S., according to federal officials whose identities must be kept anonymous because they fear retaliation. The ports "are unlike anything I've ever seen," said Patricia Cramer, a veteran border agent who serves as president of the U.S. Customs employee union in the Tucson, Arizona sector. The Most Explosive WikiLeaks Clinton Revelations (So Far). [#1] Clinton dreams of a world with "open trade and open borders": Every American should understand that Democrats, and plenty of Republicans, are fighting an all-out war against national sovereignty. Sure, Democrats want new voters, and Republican interests want cheap labor, but they also share a mutual desire to increase the distance between the Ruling Class and voters. In the globalist future, political and business titans will stand atop the world, without having to worry about fulfilling annoying duties to grubby little voters with nostalgic memories of the days when American politicians served America's interests. Globalism means you'll never be able to vote against anything. Tijuana taco stand updates menu to accommodate surge of Haitian immigrants. As thousands of Haitians have arrived in Tijuana in recent months, stranded and hoping for asylum into the U.S., one thing bringing them together with locals is a love of good food. Shelters around the city estimate that about 2,000 Haitians are currently being housed. A month ago, Fausta Rosal'a, the owner of Loncher'a Dulce, a Mexican food stand, located inside an auto-shop on Calle Ocampo, was approached by five Haitian immigrant women hoping to find something to eat that might remind them of home — traditional tacos, quesadillas, and tostilocos were not going to cut it. Will Hillary explain her dream of 'open borders'? "My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, sometime in the future with energy that's as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere," Clinton reportedly said to investors in a paid speech she gave to Brazilian Banco Itau in 2013. Here's the thing about borders. If you don't have borders, you don't have a country. Americans are beginning to understand this. Europeans understand it now, quite clearly. Ethnic cleansing? California town now less than 10 percent white. Ethnic cleansing used to be a bad thing. But in America, when it happens to white people, it's called progress and the "new face of California." The town of Santa Ana has been almost 100% purged of white people. They were pushed out not by tanks and machine guns, but by a massive influx of people speaking a different language and bearing a different culture who expected everyone to adapt to their norms. Today Santa Ana is nearly 80% Hispanic and less than 10% white. We have a city in America that now demographically perfectly mirrors many cities in Mexico. Most GOP Senators Defecting from Trump Backed Amnesty Push. In a 2013 email published a few days ago by WikiLeaks, Hillary Clinton expressed views wildly at odds with those of the American citizenry: "My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders." Most of Donald Trump's Republican defectors are poised to help her achieve her open-borders dream. As Republican elites continue to defy Republican voters on the crucial issue of immigration, it's not surprising that the Senate's open-borders crowd is refusing to back the man who — largely because of his hawkish immigration position — was chosen by Republican voters to be their party's nominee. A Contrast of Justice: Sheriff Joe won't get the Hillary Treatment. The Department of Justice is taking Sheriff Joe Arpaio to court. He will be asked to provide computers and hard drives. He will be accused of breaking the law for attempting to enforce a law, a federal law. He is going to court because he was instructed by authorities to not enforce or attempt to enforce federal law. Liberals Move To Put America's Toughest Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, In Jail For Enforcing Immigration Law. Sheriff Joe Arpaio is the man. If he and Sheriff Clarke could run the streets of America with their methods of what it means to protect and serve, America would be a lot better for it. In fact, there are many Sheriffs that would be a much better option as President then the nutcase Hillary is right now. Hillary And 'Undocumented' Aliens. Politicians, pollsters and pundits who are advocates for open borders and the creation of immigration anarchy seek to minimize the true significance of aliens entering the United States without inspection and, of critical importance in this particularly perilous era, without vetting. Their strategy to deceive Americans is to employ the equivalent excuse of the dog eating homework by saying that these illegal aliens entered the United States "without documentation," thus shifting attention from the fact that millions of aliens entered the United States stealthily, without inspection. This is the strategy of Hillary Clinton and her immigration anarchy accomplices. Report: Largest Number Ever of Immigrants Living in U.S. - 42.4 Million Legal and Illegal. A new report released earlier this month by the Center for Immigration Studies reveals that the number of legal and illegal immigrants living in the United States in 2014 is the highest number seen in U.S. history, with 42.4 million living in this country. Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the report also shows that the nation's population includes 13.3 percent who are immigrants — the highest percentage in 94 years. Leaked Hillary Clinton Speech to Foreign Bank: 'My Dream Is a Hemispheric Common Market with Open Trade and Open Borders'. In closed-door remarks delivered to a foreign bank, Hillary Clinton declared that her "dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders." This statement from one of Clinton's private paid speeches was discovered in leaked emails of Clinton's campaign chair, John Podesta, which were made public by WikiLeaks. Why Mexico has been named the most corrupt developed country. Corruption is one of the elements that the Swiss organization includes in its annual competitiveness index. The report is based on interviews with 15,000 business leaders in 141 economies. The WEF asks each leader three questions: "In your country, how common is illegal diversion of public funds to companies, individuals, or groups? In your country, how do you rate the ethical standards of politicians? In your country, how common is it for firms to make undocumented extra payments or bribes?" On a scale of 1 to 7, where 7 represents highest transparency, Mexico scored 2.5, according to Business Insider. Obama Administration Is Quietly Delaying Thousands of Deportation Cases. The Obama administration is delaying deportation proceedings for recent immigrants in cities across the United States, allowing more than 56,000 of those who fled Central America since 2014 to remain in the country legally for several more years. The shift, described in interviews with immigration lawyers, federal officials, and current and former judges, has been occurring without public attention for months. It amounts to an unannounced departure from the administration's widely publicized pronouncements that cases tied to the so-called surge of 2014 would be rushed through the immigration courts in an effort to deter more Central Americans from entering the United States illegally. The delayed cases are those of nearly half of the Central Americans who entered the United States as families since 2014, and close to a quarter of the total number of Central Americans who entered during that period, according to figures from the Justice Department. Snafu delays deportation of more than 50,000 illegal aliens. The Obama administration reportedly is delaying deportation proceedings on Central American illegal aliens who recently immigrated to the United States, allowing more than 50,000 to stay here for several more years. The cases were delayed after an enforcement bungle that let immigrants slated to be electronically monitored via ankle bracelets simply go free when they did not report to government offices to be fitted for the monitors, according to the New York Times. The Department of Homeland Security started using the ankle-bracelet monitoring system in 2015 because many immigrants were failing to show up for scheduled court dates. The 14th Amendment Does Not Grant Citizenship to Foreigners Born in the U.S. Liberals and anti-Constitution residents of the U.S. don't understand the purpose of the 14th Amendment. However, the Amendment's author was pretty clear about its purpose. The inconvenient truth is that the 14th Amendment does not and never has granted U.S. citizenship to foreigners born in the United States. The 14th Amendment is one of the most misunderstood, and most cited amendment among all of the amendments in litigation in the United States. Its author, Senator Jacob Howard (R-MI), wrote quite clearly the purpose of the law's scope when he introduced it: ["]The 14th Amendment granted citizenship only to the recently freed slaves. It did not grant citizenship to illegal immigrants. It did not grant citizenship to Native American Indians. It did not grant citizenship to foreigners or their children born on U.S. soil.["] Its five sections address citizenship rights, equal protection under the law, apportionment, and Civil War debt. Supreme Court rejects rehearing in Obama deportation amnesty case. The Supreme Court shot down the administration's effort to kick-start President Obama's deportation amnesty, refusing Monday to grant a rehearing in a case the court deadlocked on just a few months ago. The refusal lets stand the decision by an appeals court, which found Mr. Obama broke immigration law by trying to grant a three-year amnesty from deportation and to issue work permits to as many as 5 million illegal immigrants. Mr. Obama and his team had hoped the justices would reconsider after a 4-4 deadlock at the high court in June, but the justices declined the request as part of a long list of refusals on the first day of their 2016 session. Immigrant rights activist likely to be deported herself after hiding her status. The last thing anyone in the immigrant activist community would have expected was that Wendy Uruchi Contreras would be arrested and potentially deported. On May 28, the community organizer for Casa, a national immigrants rights organization based in Maryland, was stopped by police and arrested for a DUI after having had two margaritas at a restaurant. Her blood alcohol was twice the legal limit for driving. Her arrest sent a shockwave through the activist community, with petitions from organizations such as Change.org being filed to stop her deportation. DHS Agency That Enforces Immigration Law Honors Open Borders Activist Who Helps Illegal Aliens. The Homeland Security agency responsible for enforcing the nation's immigration laws is honoring a renowned open-borders activist dedicated to defending illegal aliens in the U.S. with a prestigious award. Known as "Outstanding American by Choice," it's bestowed annually by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to recognize the "significant contributions and achievements of a naturalized" American citizen. This year's winner is being crowned today at a ceremony in Los Angeles, California where she runs a billion-dollar charity largely dedicated to assisting immigrants. Congressional Republicans demand halt in new citizenships until DHS fixes fingerprints. A key member of Congress introduced a bill Thursday that that would halt all new naturalizations until the Obama administration can prove it's checking immigrants' fingerprints to make sure they shouldn't be deported instead of granted citizenship. About 750 immigrants were granted citizenship despite a judge's order that they be deported. Homeland Security botched the approvals because the immigrants gave false names and officials couldn't check their fingerprints to discover their real identities because the prints were on paper-based cards, an internal investigation revealed. Obama Administration Official: We Don't Screen Refugees For Radical Views. Republican Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions [9/28/2016] asked Simon Henshaw, principal deputy assistant secretary at the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migrants of the U.S. Department of State, "do you make any inquiry about practices that we reject in the United States like female genital mutilation?" Sessions added, "Do you say, 'do you believe in that and when you come to the United States will you comply with the laws of the United States on that kind of question?'" The state department official replied, "On all questions, we make it clear to refugees that we are a nation of laws and that they need to comply with our laws." Jeh Johnson Doesn't Know How Many People Mistakenly Granted Citizenship Were From Iran, Syria, Libya. On Sept. 8, the Homeland Security Department's inspector-general reported that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services mistakenly granted citizenship to at least 858 individuals who were under deportation or removal orders. On Tuesday [9/27/2016], Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson told Congress the actual number is "somewhere around" 750. But Johnson could not say how many of them were from countries known to be havens for terrorists. "Were any of them from special interest countries?" Sen. Ben Sasse, a member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, asked Johnson. Rep. Pete Sessions: Obama's DHS's Swearing in 858 Deportees as Citizens Part of a Bigger Story of Misconduct. Representative Pete Sessions (R-TX), who chairs the House Rules Committee, told Breitbart News in terms of immigration policy, President Barack Obama and his administration has deliberately worked to circumvent the law, to frustrate law enforcement personnel trying to live up to their oath. "Over the last eight years, this administration, within the bowels of Homeland Security, knew and understood that they were a part of an error that took some 800 people, who were in this country and were due for deportation, instead moved to them to the opportunity citizenship," said the Texas Congressman, who has led the House Rules Committee since January 2013. Flow of Central Americans to U.S. surging, expected to exceed 2014 numbers. The number of families and unaccompanied minors arriving in 2016 is on pace to exceed the total in 2014, when U.S. Border Patrol stations were overwhelmed along the Rio Grande Valley in Texas. They are coming primarily from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador, an area sometimes called the Northern Triangle. [...] Overall, 122,132 families and children, mostly from Central America, have been apprehended at the U.S. border with Mexico with a month remaining in fiscal 2016. That compares with a total of 132,259 in fiscal 2014, according to statistics from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Haitian immigrants cross border through Mexico, claim asylum for quick processing and entry. Haitian immigrants are surging across America's southwest border, blazing a path through Mexico to the U.S., where they have been coached to claim asylum, earning them quick processing and almost immediate entry into the country. Analysts called it a backdoor amnesty that's increasingly being abused by illegal immigrants who normally would have no shot of staying in the U.S., but who, by claiming asylum, can gain a foothold here. The Haitians are the latest to discover the route, likely encouraged by smugglers who stand to make thousands of dollars from each migrant they transport through Mexico and up to the U.S. land border. A video obtained by Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican, which originated with U.S. Customs and Border Protection, shows Haitians massing outside of a Mexican detention facility on that country's border with Guatemala, ahead of what analysts said was likely a long journey north to the U.S. Education Dept. Issues Guidance to Boost Academic Achievement of 'English Learners'. In the last several decades, English learners have been among the fastest-growing populations in America's schools, now comprising nearly 10 percent of the student population nationwide, according the Education Department. On Friday [9/23/2016], the Education Department released non-regulatory "guidance" to help states, districts and schools "provide effective services to improve the English language proficiency and academic achievement" of those 4.8 million English learners. "In too many places across the country, English learners get less access to quality teachers, less access to advanced coursework, and less access to the resources they need to succeed," Education Secretary John King Jr. said in a news release. "Together, we can change that reality." National Academies Hides $500 Billion 'Immigration Tax' In 495-Page Report. Officials at a prestigious private D.C.-based think-tank are trying to hide their data showing how immigration is imposing massive costs on wage-earners and on taxpayers. The think-tank, titled The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, is not a government-run agency. It is a privately run think-tank which writes politically influential reports for government and private-sector funders. For example, the group's new Sept. 22 immigration study was funded by the pro-immigration John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. The jargon-filled, much-caveated, 495-page report does show the information needed to measure how legal and illegal immigration transfers $500 billion a year from the wages paid to working-Americans towards companies, firms, Wall Street investors and to new immigrants. But the report does not provide a dollar figure for the 'immigration tax.' Email shows federal immigration bosses in OT push to swear in new citizens 'due to election'. An internal Obama administration email shows immigration officials may be literally working overtime to swear in as many new "citizen voters" as possible before the Nov. 8 presidential election, a powerful lawmaker charged Thursday [9/22/2016]. The email, from a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field office chief and part of a chain of correspondence within the agency, urges the unnamed recipient to swear in as many citizens as possible "due to the election year." [...] Parts of the email were redacted before it was disclosed to FoxNews.com, but it was sent by the branch chief of the Houston Field Office District 17. It was not clear to whom it was addressed. More Signs Of Just How Badly Broken Our Immigration System Is. Even as President Obama addresses a U.N. conference on refugees saying "Welcome, strangers," a State Department official admits that the U.S. is likely letting ISIS members into the country as part of refugee resettlement program. And Democrats wonder why Hillary Clinton's poll numbers are plummeting. Mass immigration costs govt. $296 billion a year, depresses wages: National Academy of Sciences. Immigration drains the government, sapping as much as $296 billion a year from federal, state and local taxpayers while depressing wages, at least in the short run, according to an authoritative study released Wednesday by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine. The 500-page academic tome is supposed to be the final word about the fiscal and economic effects of mass immigration, and its findings challenge some long-held assumptions of Washington policymakers that immigration is an unqualified benefit. The data show that immigrants take more in benefits than they pay in taxes. Although immigrants do boost the size of the economy, the gains are heavily skewed toward the immigrants themselves and to wealthy investors — not to native-born workers who end up competing with the new arrivals. Toss Personality. Use These Three Things To Judge Trump Versus Hillary. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, immigrants made up 5.4 percent of America's population in 1960, and that tally dipped to 4.7 percent in 1970. After 40-plus years of largely unchecked illegal immigration, that figure has now skyrocketed to 13.6 percent — nearly tripling — and it's still rising. It has already surpassed the percentages reached during the great waves of immigration in 1880 and 1920. On its current trajectory, it will surpass the all-time mark set in 1890 within another eight years. [...] A huge wave of illegal immigration clearly isn't conducive to assimilation. This would be true even if Obama and his allies weren't actively working against that time-honored goal. Indeed, the Obama administration doesn't even like the term "assimilate," preferring "integration." In that spirit, the administration recently released a policy statement in which it laments the emphasis placed on teaching immigrant children to speak English. Oops! Instant citizenship — just in time for Election Day. Potentially Ineligible Individuals Have Been Granted U.S. Citizenship Because of Incomplete Fingerprint Records. USCIS granted U.S. citizenship to at least 858 individuals ordered deported or removed under another identity when, during the naturalization process, their digital fingerprint records were not available. The digital records were not available because although USCIS procedures require checking applicants' fingerprints against both the Department of Homeland Security's and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) digital fingerprint repositories, neither contains all old fingerprint records. Not all old records were included in the DHS repository when it was being developed. Further, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has identified, about 148,000 older fingerprint records that have not been digitized of aliens with final deportation orders or who are criminals or fugitives. The FBI repository is also missing records because, in the past, not all records taken during immigration encounters were forwarded to the FBI. As long as the older fingerprint records have not been digitized and included in the repositories, USCIS risks making naturalization decisions without complete information and, as a result, naturalizing additional individuals who may be ineligible for citizenship or who may be trying to obtain U.S. citizenship fraudulently. As naturalized citizens, these individuals retain many of the rights and privileges of U.S. citizenship, including serving in law enforcement, obtaining a security clearance, and sponsoring other aliens' entry into the United States. Nets Dismiss Over 800 Illegals Wrongly Granted Citizenship. Following the two weekend terrorist attacks carried out by naturalized US citizens, the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general announced Monday [9/19/2016] that 800 individuals slipped through the cracks and were wrongly granted citizenship. "In 858 of the cases, fingerprints for the individual, either at DHS or the FBI were not available because the agencies haven't fully digitized their inventories of older finger prints taken on paper," reported Fox News' Chief Washington Correspondent James Rosen. And yet ABC and NBC failed to report it that evening, while CBS buried it in a Donald Trump report with no context. The illegal immigrants in question managed to fool the federal government by using fake names and date of birth, and exploiting an out dated fingerprint system. Obama "Mistakenly" Grants Citizenship For Nearly 1,000 Illegals Ready To Be Deported. It's no secret that the Democrats want to import as many immigrants as humanly possible in the name of tolerance and equality. What it's doing is making our country less safe, more "politically correct," and stripping us of our identity as a nation. It looks like Obama and his inept and backward administration have done that again, but this time, they may have gone too far. According to reports, over 800 illegal immigrants that were set for deportation were given citizenship because their fingerprints weren't in the government databases. Report: 858 People Got US Citizenship When They Should Have Been Deported. The digital records were not available because although USCIS procedures require checking applicants' fingerprints against both the Department of Homeland Security's and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) digital fingerprint repositories, neither contains all old fingerprint records. Not all old records were included in the DHS repository when it was being developed. Further, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has identified, about 148,000 older fingerprint records that have not been digitized of aliens with final deportation orders or who are criminals or fugitives. The FBI repository is also missing records because, in the past, not all records taken during immigration encounters were forwarded to the FBI. Update: Pew: Pro-Clinton effort to register immigrants working, 718,430 demand citizenship. Immigrants are filing citizenship applications at the highest rate in four years, according to the Department of Homeland Security. "The number of legal permanent residents applying for U.S. citizenship in the nine months starting last October is at its highest level in four years, and it is up 8 percent from the same period before the 2012 elections," according to an analysis by the Pew Research Center. Obama's border plan collapses as illegals surge into Texas. Illegal border crossings by children and families are surging again and will put fiscal year 2016 on par with 2014, when President Obama was forced to take drastic actions in an effort to stem what his own administration admitted was a humanitarian crisis. Recently released figures from U.S. Customs and Border Protection show that more than 37,000 border crossers were apprehended in August, nearly 6,000 more than in August 2014. HUD Decrees That Limited-English-Speakers Are Protected Under Fair Housing Act. "People with limited English proficiency are not a protected class under the Fair Housing Act," said the Department of Housing and Urban Development on Thursday. But they are now, by decree. Under the heading of "national origin," HUD is making non-English-speakers a protected class. In its announcement, HUD noted that the Fair Housing Act "prohibits discrimination on seven protected bases, including national origin, which is closely linked to the ability to communicate proficiently in English. Housing providers are therefore prohibited from using limited English proficiency selectively or as an excuse for intentional housing discrimination," HUD said. Undocumented NC Students Hold Rally Calling for Scholarship Eligibility. A group of North Carolina students who are in the United States illegally held a rally this week, arguing they should be included in a taxpayer-funded scholarship program. The students in Guilford County called for the 'Say Yes To Education' scholarship program to expand the eligibility requirements to include undocumented students. "Why is it that that it's different with me?" Araceli Garcia-Garnica told WFMY-TV. "Why is it that one simple piece of paper matters to them so much?" DHS accused of sitting on border report as immigration issue drives presidential race. Federal lawmakers seeking to pinpoint the number of illegal immigrants who successfully sneak across the southern border ordered up a report from the Department of Homeland Security, but the agency refuses to release it and instead cites a misleading statistic that overstates the number who are nabbed, sources told Fox News. DHS denied it is holding back the report, but sources say it was completed in November and that it shows roughly half of adults who attempt to cross the border make it — approximately 250,000 in total. DHS Just Buried An Immigration Report Because It Would Help Trump Get Elected. The Department of Human Services is refusing to release an immigration study that could potentially help Donald Trump get elected. DailyCaller.com reported: According to Fox News, the study was commissioned in 2015 by members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, "seeking to pinpoint the number of illegal immigrants who successfully sneak across the southern border." DHS claims that the study is still ongoing, yet sources close to the situation tell Fox News that it was actually completed in November 2015 and yielded results that would hurt the current administration's immigration agenda. Pew: 57M Hispanics now in U.S., 17% of population, 54% of total growth. Latinos account for more than half of the U.S. population growth since 2000, an unprecedented growth spurt that puts the total Hispanic population at a record 57 million, according to a new report. Middle-America Hit with Staggering Immigration Surge. In 1990, adult immigrants were hardly a factor in North Carolina's Randolph County, making up a little more than 1 percent of all residents 18 and older. By 2014, the adult immigration population had ballooned 948 percent. The 8,950 foreign-born adults that year were 6.1 percent of the entire county population. That is a 683 percent increase in the immigrant share of the county's adult population. Dell Fires 3000 US Employees, Requests 5000 Visas For Foreign Workers. The ink was barely dry on Dell's acquisition of EMC, the largest technology deal ever, valued at $67 billion when it was announced in October last year — and already the layoff rumors are oozing from the woodwork. [...] On Wednesday [9/7/2016], the day the deal closed, CEO Michael Dell gave some clues in an interview: "There are some overlapping functions and that sort of thing — that's not the primary feature of this, but there is some of that." These "overlaps" or "overlapping functions" are terms in corporate speak for real people, and these real people are mostly working in the US, according to the report: supply chain, marketing, and general and administrative positions. Passage through Mexico: the global migration to the US. Most have travelled thousands of miles on foot, by boat and bus from South America, but few here speak Spanish. In front of the locked gates near Mexico's southern border, it's an eclectic mix of French, English, Creole, Urdu, Lingala and Somali. This eclectic crowd is part of a huge surge in African and Asian migrants traversing the Americas in hope of a better life in the US. White House considers ending for-profit immigrant detainee centers but critics say it could add billions to the cost. The Obama administration is considering an end to the practice of keeping immigrant detainees in for-profit centers, weeks after the Federal Bureau of Prisons announced it would stop its use of private prisons. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, whose agency includes the immigration service and the Border Patrol, in late August ordered a review of ways to end the use of the private facilities. A decision to do so would mark a major victory for the coalition of civil rights groups and immigrant advocacy organizations that has sought to roll back the growth of the private-prison industry. U.S. Spends Another $10 Mil to Register New Immigrant Voters. Months after the Obama administration spent $19 million to register new immigrant voters that will likely support Democrats in November, it's dedicating an additional $10 million in a final push as the presidential election approaches. The money is distributed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Homeland Security agency that oversees lawful immigration, to organizations that help enhance pathways to naturalization by offering immigrants free citizenship instruction, English, U.S. history and civics courses. Officially, they're known as "citizenship integration grants." The Editor says... 80 Percent Captured at Border Set Free in U.S., Says Agent. A U.S. Border Patrol agent told Fox News Channel that eight out of ten illegal immigrants who are captured at the border are initially set free into the United States. Border Patrol Agent Hector Garza, acting in his role as president of the National Border Patrol Council, Local 2455, appeared on Fox News Channel recently to discuss border security and the need for building a wall. Gary Johnson has [a] serious problems with [the] term 'illegal immigrant'. Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson got into a heated exchange over the term "illegal immigrant" on Wednesday [8/31/2016] during an interview with a conservative host. Johnson said people should instead use the term "undocumented" when referring to people in the United States who have entered the country illegally or overstayed a visa. "If you use the term illegal immigrants, that is very incendiary to our Hispanic population here in this country," Johnson said during the interview with Townhall's Guy Benson. Exclusive: 'Tolerance' Group Taught US Immigration Officials To Recognize 'Cultural Biases'. New documents brought to light by an investigative watchdog group show that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials had to undergo "cultural bias" training in 2016 by a group known for opposing immigration control efforts. The Immigration Reform Law Institute uncovered the documents by Freedom of Information Act request. [...] During the training, officials were instructed to develop "greater cultural awareness" and to "recognize their own inherent cultural biases." Immigrants move to these Texas counties the most, data show. A total of 1.7 million, or roughly 13 percent of all undocumented immigrants in the country, live within Texas' borders. In general, Texas is second in the nation for immigrant population size. Between 2000 and 2013 the number of foreign-born immigrants increased in the state by 44.4 percent. In Houston alone, this number was 59 percent, nearly twice the national rate. Border Patrol Seizes $3 Million In Cash Crossing U.S. Mexico Border. If only they'd loaded it on a pallet and asked the State Dept to ship, it probably wouldn't have been such a big deal. Perhaps they'll use the "we couldn't wire it" defense. Honduran woman and her child sue Obama administration over 'inhumane' detention. An Honduran woman is suing the Obama administration over alleged mistreatment that she and her child suffered while held in a family detention center in Dilley, Texas. The woman, Suny Rodriguez Alvarado, filed the lawsuit — on which her then-7-year-old son also is a plaintiff — in federal court in New Jersey. Alvarado, who is 43, was kept in detention for more than four months last year. The suit is believed to be the first of its kind to seek damages for harm suffered in Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention while seeking refugee status. Obama to evade rules for wealthy immigrants. President Obama plans to use parole authority to go around normal rules and try to admit thousands of entrepreneurs to the U.S., the administration announced Friday [8/26/2016], once again testing the limits of executive power on immigration. Parole is usually used in specific humanitarian cases, such as temporarily admitting someone in dire need of medical treatment, but Mr. Obama argues it can also be used more broadly to try to boost the U.S. economy by letting wealthy entrepreneurs buy their way in. Under his proposal, announced by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, would-be immigrants would have to show they own at least 15 percent of a startup business in the U.S., and that they have previously invested at least $1 million in other companies. Obama's Immigration Judges Threw Out Every Other Deportation Order In 2016. An analysis from the University of Syracuse shows that immigration judges ruled in favor of illegal immigrant defendants in more than half of the deportation cases heard throughout Fiscal Year 2016. The data shows that 169,258 immigration cases have been closed in US immigration courts from September 2015 [to] August 2016. 96,223 cases ended with "non-citizens against whom Homeland Security sought removal orders" being allowed to stay in the country. Washington Post: U.S. needs illegal immigrants for 'washing dishes,' 'mowing lawns'. An editorial in the Washington Post on Tuesday [8/23/2016] slammed Donald Trump's recent comments on restricting immigration and argued that people in the country illegally are needed for menial labor. The paper said Trump's call for a border wall and a "humane" solution to the millions of illegal immigrants in the U.S. are "politically and economically preposterous." "Those include the fact that at least 8 million unauthorized immigrants are employed, most have been in this country for 15 years or longer, and typically they do jobs — tending crops, washing dishes, mowing lawns — that native-born Americans do not want," the Post said. RNC Official at Trump's Hispanic Meeting Debunks False BuzzFeed, Univision Reports that Donald Succumbed to Amnesty Activists. A senior staffer at the Republican National Committee (RNC) told Breitbart News Saturday GOP presidential candidate Donald J. Trump did not say or suggest that he was open to granting any legal status — amnesty — to any illegal aliens in the United States at his campaign's National Hispanic Advisory Council meeting as reported in BuzzFeed and Univision. Hacked Memo: George Soros Lobbied Obama To Accept 100,000 Refugees Per Year — and Succeeded. Hacked documents from George Soros's Open Society Institute state that the billionaire and his foundation helped to successfully press the Obama administration into increasing to 100,000 the total number of refugees taken in by the U.S. annually, Breitbart Jerusalem has found. The documents reveal that the billionaire personally sent President Obama a letter on the issue of accepting refugees. Voters — including immigrants themselves — back Trump call for 'extreme vetting'. Immigrants themselves support Donald Trump's call for a stiffer ideological test for newcomers to the U.S., according to a surprising new poll that suggests the GOP presidential nominee's plans strike a chord. More than 60 percent of immigrants who are registered voters back Mr. Trump's call to make sure visitors and new immigrants share American values before they are admitted. That's about the same level of support among all voters, according to Morning Consult, an analysis firm that's been polling heavily on the election. Immigration Judges Allow Illegal Aliens To Stay in the U.S.. According to a new report by Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC), a Syracuse University-based nonprofit, immigration judges are denying DHS' attempts to deport illegal aliens in 57% of their cases. So far in FY16 immigration judges have released 96,233 illegal aliens, including criminals, back into U.S. communities. If the judges' decisions continue at this rate they will exceed last year's deportation denials that allowed 106,676 illegal aliens to remain in the U.S. Judges nixed DHS bids to deport illegal immigrants 100,000 times: report. Immigration judges around the country are denying the Department of Homeland Security's attempts to deport illegal immigrants in record numbers, according to a new report. Over the last 10 months, immigration judges opted against the department's efforts to remove some 96,223 illegal immigrants, including criminals, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a Syracuse University-based nonprofit. At this rate, TRAC estimates the number of illegal immigrants allowed to remain in the U.S. despite DHS attempts to remove them will surpass last year's breaking number of 106,676. With the court's protection, subjects can often remain indefinitely. The 7 Dumbest Things That Offended Liberals. Yes, after 100 years of Park Ranger uniforms not offending anyone, it seems now the "Latino community" has a palpable fear of them. We know this because the designated representative of the entire Latino community said so. Wait, Maite Arce is not the duly elected, rightfully chosen representative of all Latinos everywhere? No — apparently not. She does, however, speak for a radical leftist group, similar to La Raza, the Hispanic Access Foundation (HAF), who promote the causes of illegal aliens — but only Latinos. If you are a Norwegian illegal — she doesn't care. Now what could possibly be her and her group[']s beef? It seems Park Ranger uniforms too closely resemble those of the border patrol and I.C.E. agents. 'As American as Apple Pie': Harvard Professor Defends Trump's 'Extreme Vetting'. A Harvard professor is defending Donald Trump's plan for "extreme vetting" of immigrants in the face of an outcry from the left. Writing in Politico Magazine, George J. Borjas, a labor economist who teaches at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, noted that one columnist called the proposed "ideological" screening "crazier than crazy" while an MSNBC commentator slammed it as "the single most un-American thing I have ever heard in my life." But Borjas pointed out that what Trump is calling for has a long history in the U.S., referring to it as being "as American as apple pie." When Teddy Roosevelt Banned Muslims from America. The Immigration Act of 1891 had merely banned polygamists. The newest law banned anyone who believed in the practice of polygamy. That group included every faithful believing Muslim. The Ottoman Empire's representatives argued that their immigrants believed in the practice of polygamy, but wouldn't actually take more than one wife. This argument echoes the current contention that Muslim immigrants may believe in a Jihad against non-Muslims without actually engaging in terrorism. That type of argument proved far less convincing to Americans than it does today. Trump Wants to Quiz Potential Immigrants on Their Values. The Netherlands Already Does That. First, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump proposed a blanket ban on Muslims visiting the United States, suggesting that anyone of the Muslim faith poses a threat to American security. Then, that proposal morphed into a ban on immigrants from any country afflicted by terrorism — including from U.S. allies like the Philippines. And on Monday [8/15/2016], Donald Trump announced that if elected to the highest office in the United States, he would use "extreme, extreme vetting" to determine who gets to enter the country, and who doesn't. DHS Secretary: 'Not Pleasant to Send Somebody Back to Central America'. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson pushed back on calls from immigration advocates to cease deportations of undocumented Central American immigrants for the rest of President Obama's term, arguing that such a move would lead to a "humanitarian crisis." Johnson also said DHS is promoting the Central American Minors (CAM) program as an alternative to children from Central America crossing the border illegally. "The reason not to do that is we don't have open borders, and if we ceased removals we would have a humanitarian crisis. There would be a surge for the exits if we ceased removals. I think you know that. We have not been happy with the numbers, which is why we are expanding the publicity around the existing CAM program," he said at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast. The Editor says... ICE program failing to rid US of dangerous illegal immigrants, analysts say. A federal program to work with local law enforcement to remove dangerous illegal immigrant criminals, implemented just weeks after Kate Steinle's murder put the issue in the national spotlight, has resulted in fewer deportations, according to analysts. The Priority Enforcement Program (PEP) was introduced last summer as something of a compromise to get sanctuary cities to work with the federal government on deportations by only requesting that local authorities hand over the most dangerous criminals. Statistics show that fewer local law enforcement agencies are refusing to work with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, yet far fewer illegal immigrant criminals are being deported under the current scheme. Inside the administration's $1 billion deal to detain Central American asylum seekers. As Central Americans surged across the U.S. border two years ago, the Obama administration skipped the standard public bidding process and agreed to a deal that offered generous terms to Corrections Corporation of America, the nation's largest prison company, to build a massive detention facility for women and children seeking asylum. The four-year, $1 billion contract — details of which have not been previously disclosed — has been a boon for CCA, which, in an unusual arrangement, gets the money regardless of how many people are detained at the facility. Critics say the government's policy has been expensive but ineffective. Give Me Your Keys, Then We Can Talk About Open Borders. When was the last time you heard an open-borders globalist referred to as "right-wing"? I'm drawing blanks, too. The transnational corporate and media elites who seek to smash borders and force 7.4 billion fundamentally incompatible human cattle together into a single inescapable One World Ranch claim that their motive is a lofty one — they seek to end perpetual conflict between nations. That's nice, but anyone with two unmedicated brain cells to rub together realizes that the end result of this daffy rainbow scheme would be perpetual conflict within what were formerly nations. It's all unfolding with alarming speed before your lyin' eyes at this very moment. New Phone Apps Help Illegal Aliens Hide from Law Enforcement. Amnesty advocates are encouraging illegal aliens to take advantage of new phone applications that are designed to help them avoid law enforcement in the communities in which they reside. These applications, available in both English and Spanish, track police roadblocks and checkpoints in order to enable illegal aliens to avoid possible encounters with law enforcement. The applications are crowdsourced, which means the data they contain are manually inputted by their users for everyone who has downloaded the applications to view. Users can broadcast where the checkpoints are located by manually placing a pin on a Google map. They also can add more specific information; including a specific address and exact time the checkpoint was spotted. Border Patrol to Illegals: Don't Get Caught. The Obama government and its media puppets celebrate the decline in border apprehension numbers from 2014 to 2015 as a sign of "success," while they are silent on the Border Patrol policies that deliberately discourage Border Patrol officers from apprehending border jumpers. Those anti-enforcement policies are numerous, but some are downright unbelievable. Record 25,984,000 Immigrants Employed in the United States in July. The number of immigrants employed in the United States reached another monthly record high in July, according data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The BLS reports that 25,984,000 foreign-born people had a job in the U.S. last month, up 133,000 compared to the previous record set in June. The Labor Department defines the "foreign-born" as "those residing in the United States who were not U.S. citizens at birth." Record Remittances Sent to Mexico in First Half of 2016. oney sent to Mexico from people working in other countries set a record of $13.2 billion in the first half of 2016, the Central Bank of Mexico reported. The previous record, in the first six months of 2007, was of $12.8 billion. Remittances increased almost 9 percent in the first half of 2016 from the same period last year. The vast majority came from the United States. No, the Constitution Does Not Bar 'Religious Tests' in Immigration Law. Of all the ignorant pronouncements in the 2016 presidential campaign, the dumbest may be that the Constitution forbids a "religious test" in the vetting of immigrants. Monotonously repeated in political speeches and talking-head blather, this claim is heedless of the Islamic doctrinal roots on which foreign-born Islamists and the jihadists they breed base their anti-Americanism. It is also dead wrong. The clause said to be the source of this drivel is found in Article VI. As you'll no doubt be shocked to learn, it has utterly nothing to do with immigration. Prof. John Banzhaf: 'Virtually All Constitutional Scholars Agree' Muslim Immigration Ban Would Be Legal. George Washington University Law School Professor John Banzhaf was a guest on Tuesday's [8/2/2016] Breitbart News Daily, where he discussed the constitutionality of Donald Trump's proposed ban on Muslim immigration with SiriusXM host Stephen K. Bannon. Bannon asked if Democratic National Convention speaker Khizr Khan was correct to assert that Trump's idea violated the Constitution, a point he made by waving a pocket copy of the document and asking if Trump has ever read it. Banzhaf said it was the view of "virtually all constitutional professors who have written on the topic" that Khan was wrong. Border Patrol's website offers advice on eluding ... the Border Patrol. Immigrants who want to enter the U.S. illegally can learn how and where to avoid the Border Patrol from an advisory on the agency's own website, which critics say is evidence of the Obama administration's "schizophrenic" approach to enforcement. Safety and sanctuary can generally be found at schools, churches, hospitals and protests, where Customs and Border Protection agents are barred under a "sensitive locations policy" from carrying out their duty of enforcing border security. In fact, the agency's website states that actions at such locations can only be undertaken in an emergency or with a supervisor's approval. Border Patrol Just Revealed The Truth About Hillary. The border situation is out of control and it's only going to get worse under a Hillary Clinton administration. This, according to a national union of border patrol agents. The National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) is warning that Clinton's plan to expand on President Obama's executive orders on immigration — orders the courts have determined to be unconstitutional — would allow "cartels and Islamic extremists" to invade the United States. "Her immigration plan is ... dangerous for all American families," the NBPC wrote. Clinton's plans would allow terrorists to "further their plans to harm innocent American citizens," they continued. Border Patrol union: Clinton amnesty endangers U.S., 'cartels, Islamic extremists' set to invade. In the strongest criticism yet of Hillary Clinton's open-border and amnesty plan, the National Border Patrol Council Thursday [7/28/2016] warned that the Democrat's plan endangers Americans and that drug cartels and Islamic extremists are eager for her to win so they can invade the U.S. "Clinton's call for amnesty in her first 100 days and expanding these dangerous policies demonstrates her deeply alarming willingness to sell out the security of American families to advance her political or financial interests. Her immigration plan is not only dangerous for all American families, but previews an administration that will once again defy the will of the voters and Congress to implement a divisive, reckless and partisan agenda," the union said in a statement issued before Clinton gives her acceptance speech tonight [7/28/2016]. Obama gives foreign nationals more immigration privileges than citizens. Thus far, 43,280 illegal alien minors, primarily from Central America, have been apprehended at our southwest border of the United States since the beginning of the fiscal year. What is Obama's response? Naturally, he applies fuel to the fire instead of extinguishing it. Yesterday [7/26/2016], he announced two illegal executive immigration actions that will incentivize even more people to cross the border and will afford illegal aliens the ability to bring in more relatives than even U.S. citizens can petition for under existing law. Alphabet Soup Corruption. [Scroll down] Perhaps no agency has been rendered more suspect that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, largely because U.S. immigration enforcement for all practical purposes has been rendered null and void, and no longer can or will stop illegal immigration from crossing the southern border. The old reputations of the "Border Patrol" as a no-nonsense law enforcement agency that ensured foreign nationals entered the United States legally has been redefined by ICE as a sort of politicized facilitator of executive amnesties. Over 300 municipalities in multiple states have now declared themselves exempt from enforcement of federal immigration law, and ICE has agreed that it will allow such nullification of federal law and will not deport over one million illegal aliens who have been arrested and charged with or convicted of crimes. DNC mocks rule of law, showcases love affair with illegal immigration. At this point, the Democrat Party is flagrantly pouring salt in a wound that has barely any room left to receive it, all in the name of the "American dream." Speaking at the first night of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Francisca Ortiz and Astrid Silva, illegal aliens currently permitted to continue living in the United States as a result of Obama's DAPA and DACA executive amnesty programs addressed the crowd to shame American citizens who simply want their own laws enforced. DNC Breaks Federal Law; Violation of Sec. 8 U.S. Code § 1324. In their bizarre showcase of illegal aliens on the first day of their convention, Democrats not only shamelessly used a little girl for crass political reasons, they also managed to break federal immigration law — twice. Karla Ortiz has appeared on television and in commercials telling Hillary Clinton how scared she is that her illegal immigrant mom will be deported. In the ad — and again Monday night — we hear that Hillary told her that she would do the worrying for Karla. Aww. Karla then appeared Monday night [7/25/2016] on stage at the Democratic National Convention with her illegal-immigrant mother, Francesca. In addition being a disgusting display of political pandering, this is also a violation of 8 U.S. Code § 1324. The law makes it a felony to "conceal" or "harbor" any "alien" "including any means of transportation." Just in: Mexican IDs allowed to determine citizenship in the Lone Star State. Earlier today [7/26/2016], under pressure from a federal judge and the ever-officious immigration law profession, the state of Texas entered into an agreement in which illegal alien parents will be allowed to present state hospitals with Mexican voter ID cards and obtain birth certificates for their children. [...] Nothing violates the sovereignty of a nation more than the practice of foreign nationals immigrating illegally, unilaterally asserting jurisdiction, and obtaining citizenship for their children against the national will. What is worse than the political practice is the legal rationale of the courts, which are enshrining the birthright citizenship loophole jurisprudence into the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, thereby stripping the people of the ability to even deal with this problem prospectively. The citizenry has been disenfranchised from determining its own destiny. White House announces surge for Central American refugees. The Obama administration on Tuesday [7/26/2016] invited thousands of new Central Americans to apply for refugee status in the U.S., creating a new path to bring not only the vulnerable children fleeing the region, but also their parents, adult siblings and even aunts, uncles, grandparents or others "related" to the kids. Officials said they have no guess as to how many people might apply, but said it could be "significant" surge, and they said they expect it to be a "lasting" trend. Officials also announced that Costa Rica has agreed to start accepting refugees who are deemed emergency cases that need to quickly get out of danger in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador while they await final acceptance into the U.S. or another country. Clinton VP announces insane illegals plan. It seems Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine wants to waste as little time as possible before reaching deep into tax payer pockets. Kaine was named the vice presidential candidate of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton over the weekend. Just days later, he's announced his priority for the first 100 days of the Clinton administration — give citizenship across the board to every single illegal immigrant in the United States. And it would cost taxpayers big time. US Immigration Court Backlog Exceeds 500,000 Cases For First Time. The backlog of immigration court cases has ballooned to an all-time high of more than 500,000, a number fueled by unaccompanied minors and families from Central America, officials said Wednesday [7/20/2016]. The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) said there are 500,051 pending immigration cases in the U.S. system. To deal with the backlog, EOIR plans to boost the number of immigration judges from 277 to 399. Open Borders: Democrats Build Massive Four-Mile Long Fence Around Their Convention. Just as Hillary proved that laws are for the little people and that guns should be reserved only to protect Democrat elites, it turns out that security walls are also for your betters. Tim Kaine Addresses Crowd in Spanish, Promises Amnesty Plan 'In the First 100 Days' in Office. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) was officially announced as Hillary Clinton's running mate in Miami this afternoon as she introduced him as a "progressive who likes to get things done." "Hey, guys. Thank you!" he said as he took the podium, before immediately launching into a message in Spanish. Declining Deportations and Increasing Criminal Alien Releases. The Obama administration has embraced a radical new approach to immigration law. It has, without the consent of Congress, transformed violation of immigration law into a "secondary offense." That is to say, the goal is to ensure that an alien faces consequences for breaking immigration law only if he also breaks some other, "real," law involving, say, violence or drug dealing. And even then, the primary violation has to be quite severe to warrant deportation for the (secondary) immigration offense. This is comparable to the seat belt laws in many states; in places where failing to wear a seat belt is a secondary offense, a police officer cannot pull you over just for that, but if he pulls you over for speeding or some other primary offense, he can then also write a seat belt citation. The administration's November 2014 deportation priorities memo pretends this is not so; it includes ordinary violations of immigration law, but only as the lowest priority for deportation. And the collapse in interior removals of immigration violators shows that this third priority category is just for show. SCOTUS United States. v. Texas Decision. In a split decision, the Supreme Court affirmed the lower court's ruling in the case of United States v. Texas, a challenge to Obama's 2014 executive actions. The 4-4 decision sends the case back to the district court to decide the case on the merits. Meanwhile, DAPA and extended DACA remain blocked. This case, a challenge brought by governors and attorneys general from Texas and 25 other states, involves the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) program and an expansion of the earlier Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which were decreed by President Obama in November 2014. Under the programs, an illegal alien becomes "lawfully present" in the U.S. and receives a work permit and a Social Security number after an application is reviewed (typically merely rubber stamped) and a fee is paid. The amnestied aliens also become eligible to receive driver's licenses and the Earned Income Tax Credit welfare program and various state programs. The states allege that the DAPA program (1) violates the president's constitutional duty to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed"; (2) DAPA was promulgated without public notice and comment; and (3) DAPA is in excess of agency authority. Sessions: 91% of illegal youths handed over to illegal relatives. The surge of illegal juveniles crossing into the United States from Mexico hit 38,566 by the beginning of June, a 69 percent increase over last year, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. In revealing the numbers, Alabama Sens. Jeff Sessions and Richard Shelby said that since the end of 2013, 147,077 younger illegals have been apprehended, "yet only a small fraction have been removed from the United States." Senate Dems block votes on immigration issues, including sanctuary cities. The Republican-controlled Senate failed Wednesday to advance efforts to change federal immigration law — including one to cut funding to so-called sanctuary cities. The vote was 53-44, failing to get the minimum 60 votes to begin debate on the issue. The measure attempted to block congressional funding for sanctuary cities — municipalities that ban police from cooperating with immigration officials to potentially deport illegal immigrants. Senate Republicans also failed to get enough votes to advance their proposed Kate's Law — named after Kate Steinle, who was fatally shot in July 2015, allegedly by an illegal immigrant who had multiple felony convictions and was deported several times prior to the incident. US immigration services are at breaking point under 128,000 backlog of asylum cases. The federal government is struggling to cope with a huge surge of asylum cases during a global refugee crisis as the request backlog soars by 1,400 percent in just five years. Unrest in areas of the Middle East and South America has seen numbers of refugees requesting asylum more than double in the same period — pushing the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, CIS, to breaking point. Unable to cope, the backlog of cases has been steadily rising and by the end of 2015, there were more than 128,000 cases still pending, the agency's ombudsman Maria M. Odom, said in her annual report to Congress. More than 925,000 'deported' illegal immigrants are still in the U.S. — including 70,000 with criminal records. More than 925,000 illegal immigrants are walking the streets of the United States despite government orders for their deportation, according to a new report. And more than 170,000 of them have been convicted of crimes in the U.S. Those numbers indicate that nearly 1 in 10 people living in the U.S. illegally have already been ordered to leave, but are defying federal immigration authorities. Nearly 1 million immigrants — including more than 170K convicts — ignoring deportation. Nearly 1 million immigrants are ignoring deportation orders to remain in the U.S. — including more than 170,000 convicted criminals, according to a new report Thursday [6/30/2016] that suggests the government's deportation efforts are still falling short. Only a small fraction of the immigrants are even being detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), meaning most of them remain free on the streets, where they can commit crimes and continue living in the shadows, according to the study by Jessica Vaughan, policy studies director at the Center for Immigration Studies. "The fact that almost 10 percent of the illegal resident population has already been ordered removed and is still here illustrates just how dysfunctional our immigration enforcement system is. It also should be of great concern that 20 percent of them are conviction [sic] criminals, and that most of these are at large in our communities," Ms. Vaughan said. Dem immigration platform courts Hispanics. The Democratic Party delivered a huge win to immigration activists in its party platform draft released Friday [7/1/2016], taking a liberal stance in sharp contrast to Republican proposals. [...] The platform calls for a path to citizenship "for law-abiding families who are here," the defense of President Obama's executive actions on immigration, the end of immigration raids against children and families, due process for "those fleeing violence in Central America," and to rescind statutory bans on immigrants who modify their status in the country. Thousands of immigrant kids added to class-action lawsuit over right to counsel. Thousands of unaccompanied immigrant minors facing possible deportation will be swept into class-action status in a lawsuit filed by immigration rights advocates arguing that they are entitled to have attorneys during court hearings. U.S. District Judge Thomas Zilly in Seattle approved the class-action status on Friday in a case, filed in 2014, by the American Civil Liberties Union and immigration advocates challenging the government's failure to provide lawyers. Zilly ordered that the plaintiffs in the case are now expected to represent thousands of children throughout the West who are under 18, can't afford legal representation, and are potentially eligible for asylum or U.S. citizenship. Drugs and thugs. [Scroll down] The [New York] Times goes on to describe the drug, fentanyl, as coming partly from labs owned and operated by the Mexican cartels themselves and partly "shipments from China." As the United States cracks down on prescription drugs such as oxycodone, the cartels and their Chinese suppliers are shifting to fentanyl which is cheap and easy to produce. It is also more than 40 times as potent as heroin. One seizure of 60 pounds of fentanyl on a remote landing strip in Mexico last year has the kick of almost a ton of heroin. Like oxycodone, fentanyl has legitimate uses, such as end-of-life relief, but it is strictly controlled in the United States and Western countries. Thanks to the Open Borders policy of the Obama administration and the marketing expertise of the Mexican drug cartels, fentanyl is now widely distributed across the country. Supreme Court stops Obama from acting as a legislature of one. On Thursday [6/23/2016], the Supreme Court finally handed down its long-awaited decision on President Obama's much-ballyhooed executive action on immigration. Obama reacted by declaring that the court's decision "takes us further from the country that we aspire to be." If you couldn't guess from that, Obama lost the case. This all began when Obama's party was clobbered in the 2014 midterm elections. Seeing that Democrats would not control Congress again during his term, Obama responded by going into the legislative business himself. He announced a new policy of selective enforcement of immigration laws that would exempt nearly 5 million illegal immigrants from deportation. Even SCOTUS can't stop Obama from gutting immigration enforcement. Critics of Donald Trump worry what would happen if a man with little regard for the Constitution and a willingness to impose his personal will on a hot-button issue like immigration became president. This isn't a far-fetched scenario — in fact, it has already happened. A deadlocked Supreme Court let stand a lower court order blocking President Obama's unilateral bid to grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants in a wholly outrageous violation of our constitutional norms. President Obama's order was so flagrantly lawless that he had repeatedly denied he had the power to act on his own — until he did. Abbott: 'Deeply Disturbing' That 4 Justices Believe Obama Can Rewrite Laws. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) applauded the Supreme Court decision that blocked President Obama's executive actions on immigration. Thursday's [6/23/2016] 4-4 ruling was a victory for dozens of states, including Texas, that had challenged Obama's orders to give a deportation reprieve to millions of illegal immigrants. The ruling effectively kills the plan for the duration of Obama's presidency. Obama: Most illegals still won't be deported. President Obama said most illegal immigrants still won't be deported, even after the Supreme Court's tie ruling Thursday [6/23/2016] upheld an injunction on his broader deportation amnesty. Mr. Obama rushed to assure illegal immigrants with ties to the U.S. that they are "low priorities," even though they will not be able to get the work permits and taxpayer benefits his "deferred action" program had promised. And he said the 4-4 tie was more evidence for the need to confirm Judge Merrick Garland, his pick to succeed the late Justice Antonin Scalia, to the high court. DHS moves to implement biometric tracking for visa overstays. I seem to recall the media erupting in howls of laughter when New Jersey Governor Chris Christie suggested using biometric scanning to track foreign nationals who overstay their visa and remain in the United States illegally. Critics were suggesting that we could somehow track these illegals like FedEx packages. There was similar skepticism when Donald Trump agreed with him and it led to speculation over whether or not this would be a policy which would be implemented if Christie wound up with a high ranking role in a potential Trump administration. Pretty crazy stuff, right? I would have thought so too, except the Department of Homeland Security is preparing to do it before the next President is even seated. The Editor says... Supreme Court Deadlocks on Obama Immigration Plan; It Remains Blocked. The Supreme Court announced on Thursday [6/23/2016] that it had deadlocked in a case challenging President Obama's immigration plan, effectively ending what Mr. Obama had hoped would become one of his central legacies. The program would have shielded as many as five million undocumented immigrants from deportation and allowed them to legally work in the United States. The 4-4 tie, which left in place an appeals court ruling blocking the plan, amplified the contentious election-year debate over the nation's immigration policy and presidential power. Supreme Court ruling bars Obama immigration actions from moving forward. The Supreme Court dealt a critical blow to President Obama's immigration policies on Thursday, deadlocking in a 4-4 decision over two controversial programs the White House wants to implement. The tied vote leaves in place a lower court ruling that blocks a program allowing undocumented immigrants who are parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents to remain in the United States for three years and apply for work permits. It also prevents the administration from otherwise expanding the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program issued by Obama in 2012. Supreme Court Tie Dooms Obama Immigration Policy. The U.S. Supreme Court split 4-4 Thursday [6/23/2016] over a challenge to President Barack Obama's immigration policy, a result that prevents the administration from putting the program into effect during the rest of his term. The split was reflected in a one-sentence statement from the court: "The judgment is affirmed by an equally divided Court." Announced in late 2014, the policy sought to shield more than 4 million people — mostly Latinos — from deportation. But lower courts blocked its implementation after Texas and 25 other states sued, claiming the president had no power to order the changes. SCOTUS Splits 4-4 On Obama's Executive Amnesty — Lower Court Ruling Stands — DAPA Blocked. D.A.P.A or Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program — is the executive action Obama attempted in November of 2014 which was shut down by Federal Judge Andrew Hanen in February '15 with the issuance of an emergency injunction. The DOJ appealed the Hanen injunction, on merit, to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals and lost. The DOJ then appealed the Hanen injunction, on standing, to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, and lost again. Obama: SCOTUS Ruling Doesn't Change My 'Priorities' — I'm Still Not Deporting Most Illegals. On Thursday morning [6/23/2016], Supreme Court upheld an injunction on Obama's 2014 Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents policy by a 4-4 split vote. Report: 4,948,000 illegals eligible for amnesty, 716,000 in battleground states. With the Supreme Court readying its decision on President Obama's illegal immigrant amnesty programs, a new report shows that nearly 5 million aliens would be eligible for just two of the president's initiatives, or nearly half of the total population of undocumented immigrants. What's more, the interactive map of those eligible for amnesty finds that the 2016 presidential battleground states would be heavily impacted, since 716,000 live in those nine states. What is Treason? We are not at war with Mexico, yet Mexico sends us millions of people through illegal channels. In normal times, this would be called an invasion. It would be grounds for war. If millions of Americans illegally crossed into Mexico, certainly the international community would condemn it as a warlike act. Are those within the government that support this via aid and succor treasonous? I don't know the jurisprudence to make such a decision, naturally, but I do suggest that this should be investigated. If they are illegal immigrants, the decision is simple: deport them. They are active agents of chaos and destruction and have no right to be here. If they are legal immigrant citizens, then the charge of treason should be investigated. They have violated their oaths. They have overloaded San Diego with refugees and now they are boo-hooing! Of course this whine-fest is for one of two reasons (or both at once!). The Refugee Resettlement Industry wants more of your money for programs (welfare, housing, medical care etc.) and because San Diego and other big cities have foolishly been so "welcoming" and consequently overloaded, that the industry now has a big excuse to resettle refugees to small (newly targeted) cities throughout America including Reno, NV, Rutland, VT, Charleston, WV, Ithaca, NY, Fayetteville, AR and Missoula, MT. Obama administration on track to grant one million green cards to people from Muslim-majority countries. More than 800,000 people from Muslim majority countries have gotten green cards since 2009, wth the number set to hit 1 million before President Obama leaves office. The data, released by a Senate subcommittee on immigration and the national interest, reflect a steady uptick in migration from Muslim nations in recent years — even as Donald Trump seeks to put a pause on Muslims visiting the United States. The biggest increase in permanent residents came from Pakistan and Iraq, with more than 100,000 coming from each country. Bangledesh had 90,000, Iran had 85,000, and Egypt had 56,000, while Somalia had 37,000, according to data published by Breitbart News. Already this year, more illegal alien families have crossed the border than last year. According to government statistics, more illegal alien families have cross the border in 2016 than all of 2015. The reason given by the government's own immigration lawyer is the policy of non-enforcement of the law by the Obama administration. [...] Word about the near open border policies of the US spreads fast in Central American countries that are sending this tidal wave of illegals to the US. They have every reason to believe they will be welcomed with open arms once they get here. The Past Six Presidents Have All Used The Executive Power To Block Certain Classes Of Immigrants. Donald Trump has received much flak from Democrats and Republicans alike for his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the U.S through executive authority. However, the past six presidents have all used the executive power to bar different classes of immigrants. Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 states: "Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate." SCOTUS has unequivocally held that any grounds may be used for immigration bans. [Donald] Trump appears to be on solid constitutional ground when calling for a Muslim immigration ban. David Cole, the George J. Mitchell professor in law and public policy and an expert in constitutional and national security law at Georgetown University, was unequivocal in his review article: [...] Illegal families surge across border; 2016 already worse than 2015. The number of illegal immigrant families jumping the border so far this fiscal year has already topped all of 2015, according to Homeland Security statistics released Friday that show the administration's border problems continue to grow. Some 6,788 people traveling as families were caught on the southwest border in May — a leap of more than 20 percent over April, and putting the total for the first eight months of the fiscal year at nearly 45,000. That's already well above the 2015 yearlong total of fewer than 40,000, though it's short of the record pace set in 2014, when a massive surge exposed massive holes in the U.S. immigration system. Orlando Massacre Shows We Must Stop Teaching Children to Hate America. The founders knew that the constitutional republic they were crafting required a single nation with one national identity smelted out of different ethnicities. Right away, in 1776 in fact, they came up with the concept of E Pluribus Unum. To instill the new creed into the immigrants already flocking to America, they set an educational system that would create a nation with one national identity. Starting in the early 1800s with the Common Schools and continuing later through the Ellis Island period, American schools Americanized new comers. As historian Mark Edward DeForrest put it, the Common Schools had, ["]a large role in assimilating and educating the offspring of the immigrants then moving into the United States from Europe. The schools did not simply educate students in the basics of the English language or the Three Rs. Rather, the schools were actively involved in promoting the values and beliefs that were considered part and parcel of the American experience.["] Schools taught that being an American required a belief in individual liberty and that rights are granted to us by virtue of our existence, not through government action. These principles united all people who came to this country in deeply rooted patriotism. For the past three decades, for reasons that will also require analysis (though at a later date), we have been doing exactly the opposite. The new model, exemplified by the bestselling historian Howard Zinn, is to present America as a spectacular experiment in oppression. Treatment of immigrants in Mexico much worse than any other country. Hernandez Martinez came to Mexico to escape a brutal drug cartel in Honduras, but his treatment in Mexico isn't much better. On May 30, local police robbed him and then threw him and five other migrants from Central America off of a moving train in this town about 100 miles northeast of Mexico City. "The police took all the money I was carrying," the 41-year-old woodcutter said of the $120 he had borrowed from several relatives to make the journey. "Now I don't have a penny. There is nothing to go back to." Martinez said four other Hondurans he was traveling with had been taken away earlier in Oaxaca, south of here, by local gang members "in front of (Mexican) authorities." Illegal immigrants who overstay visas hardly ever caught, feds admit. Immigration agents catch an abysmally small percentage of the illegal immigrants who arrived on visas but overstayed their welcome, authorities admitted to Congress Tuesday [6/14/2016], describing a loophole that those around the globe are increasingly using to gain a foothold in the U.S. At least 480,000 people overstayed their visas last year, adding to a backlog that's reached some 5 million total, members of Congress said. But immigration agents launched investigations into just 10,000 of them, or about 0.2 percent, and arrested fewer than 2,000, less than 0.04 percent, saying the others don't rise to the level of being priority targets. Sessions: 'Dictator' Obama flooding rural towns with illegals. A chief critic of President Obama's open door immigration policies on Thursday slammed him as a "dictator" who is filling rural towns with illegal immigrants instead of turning them away at the border and telling them to enter legally. Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions said that the administration's plan to ship some 2,000 illegals to his state has been met with the same outrage as other efforts to take undocumented immigrants seized in Texas and Arizona and house them as far away as Massachusetts. The Editor says... Illegal immigrants who overstay visas almost never caught, feds admit.

As I Noted 10 Years Ago, Mass Deportation Would Pay For Itself. One AAF report put the total cost of removing all 11.3 million illegals living in the U.S. at between $420 billion and $619 billion. That is based on the assumption that 20% of the aliens would leave voluntarily. But let's do the math. Deducting those who would self-deport we are left with 8.96 million illegals that the U.S. government would have to forcibly deport. Dividing AAF's low and high cost estimates by these involuntary deportees, we arrive at a per deportee cost ranging from $45,000 to $67,000. By comparison, ICE — the government agency in charge of deportations, estimates that it costs $12,500 to deport an illegal alien. What gives? The AAF study assumes that it would take 20 years — 20 years! — to remove all illegals from the U.S. This absurdly long farewell is required, AAF says, because ICE currently has the capacity to eject only 400,000 illegals per year. The Mexicanization of North America. For nearly 200 years the United States and Mexico coexisted as a series of antonyms separated by a desert. The United States was prosperous and free. Mexico was poor and despotic. For a time, the United States was the preeminent middle-class society. Mexico has been a society of extremes. For most Americans, Mexico was a place to score some peyote or escape from the law, and the only Mexicans seen were in movies directed by Sam Peckinpah and John Ford. Today, Mexicans can be seen in every region of the United States, and together with other "Latinos" are now the largest ethnic minority in the country. Mexican nationals are cultivating marijuana plantations on national forest land in California and Colorado. They have driven down wages in Midwestern meatpacking plants. Mexican drug cartels have established a permanent presence within the United States and form the "perfect system" for distributing methamphetamine, cocaine, and heroin throughout the country. The Fruits of Multiculturalism, Abroad and at Home. [Scroll down] Indeed, Americans have been thanked and continue to be thanked by all sorts of carriers of multiculturalism. The open southern border, an instrument of forced multiculturalism, has brought us gangs, and criminals, and drugs, and murderers, and cartels, all of which are simply part of the cultures of the countries from which their carriers traveled to enrich us with their superiority. The left so values these contributions, including the senseless murders of Americans by repeat offenders who prey on American citizens with the tacit permission of our government, that they proudly tout their "sanctuary cities", which aid and abet the predators, while sacrificing the prey in the name of tolerance and smug superiority. San Francisco Moves to Open Voting to Illegals. San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Eric Mar says the political climate is right to grant illegal immigrants the right to vote. While even notoriously liberal San Francisco voters have rejected past efforts to grant voting privileges to illegals, Fox News reports that Mar thinks the backlash against Donald Trump will yield a strong turn-out of Latino and anti-Trump voters to the polls to pass his proposed charter amendment. U.S. Doesn't Track if Millions in Biz "Loans" to Refugees on Public Assistance Are Repaid. The U.S. government gives refugees on public assistance special "loans" of up to $15,000 to start a business but fails to keep track of defaults that could translate into huge losses for American taxpayers, records obtained by Judicial Watch reveal. The cash is distributed through a program called Microenterprise Development run by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement. Since 2010 the program has granted thousands of loans to refugees that lack the financial resources, credit history or personal assets to qualify for business loans from commercial banks. Most if not all the recipients already get assistance or subsidies from the government, according to the qualification guidelines set by the Microenterprise Development Program. It's a risky operation that blindly gives public funds to poor foreign nationals with no roots in the U.S. and there's no follow up to assure the cash is paid back. The idea behind it is to "equip refugees with the skills they need to become successful entrepreneurs" by helping them expand or maintain their own business and become financially independent. House orders Library of Congress to maintain 'illegal alien'. The House voted Friday [6/10/2016] to order the Library of Congress to keep using the term "illegal alien" to describe those who come to the U.S. without authorization, saying that as long as federal laws written by Congress use those terms, so should their official records-keeper. The library earlier this had proposed changing, saying that despite being used in law, the term had "become pejorative" and needed to be axed. Instead the library said it would use "noncitizen" to refer to illegal immigrants, and "unauthorized immigration" to refer to the broader issue. San Francisco to try yet again to give illegal immigrants voting rights. After two failed bids to grant voting rights to illegal immigrants, some San Francisco officials believe they have found the man who can make it happen: Donald Trump. A proposed charter amendment drafted by Board of Supervisors member Eric Mar would give illegal immigrants with kids in the public school system the right to vote in school elections. Voters have rejected two previous ballot proposals, but Mar is betting on anti-Trump sentiment to carry the pro-illegal immigrant proposal if he can get it on the November ballot. Hillary Tells Univision Instead Of Wall, She Will Build Bridge. Looks like Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is betting the farm that America's voters are with her in her position against building a secure wall along the United States' border with Mexico. When asked by Univision correspondent Luis Megid about how she plans to secure the country's border, Clinton said that instead of "building walls ... we should be building bridges." DOJ Resists Court Order to Provide Ethics Training for Its Lawyers and Wants to Hide the Names of Illegal Aliens Granted Amnesty. The Justice Department is resisting a judge's order to provide ethics training for its lawyers and is objecting to turning over to the court the names of illegal aliens who were granted what amounts to administrative amnesty ("deferrals") in stark violation of an injunction issued by the court. On May 19, Judge Andrew Hanen of the of the Southern District of Texas issued an order imposing sanctions on the Justice Department and its lawyers for unethical conduct, which included repeatedly lying to him in court. U.S. v. Texas is the immigration lawsuit filed by 26 states against the Obama administration over its plan to provide deferrals, work permits, and other government benefits to almost 5 million illegal aliens. Hanen issued a preliminary injunction in February 2015 preventing implementation of the plan. Amid Surge DHS Tries Scaring Illegal Aliens from Entering U.S. with Media Campaign. With record numbers of illegal immigrant minors still pouring into the United States through Mexico the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has turned to a media campaign — in lieu of increased border security — to try to stop the flow. [...] They've launched a Spanish media campaign in hopes of scaring would-be illegal crossers from coming to the U.S. via the Mexican border. The experiment includes a series of 60-second Spanish videos featuring real-life illegal immigrants from Central America who share details of their frightening experience with human smugglers during their 1,600-mile trek to the U.S. In the first video released last week by CBP a young Central American mother, whose face is never shown, recounts her experience. Three Excellent Examples of Investigative Journalism on Migration Topics. There has been all too little investigative reporting regarding immigration matters, but there were two remarkable exceptions to that last month, and a third late last year. These three long, well researched articles dealt with scandals in a huge California visa mill, multiple problems in the EB-5 program, and in the H-2B program for temporary alien non-agricultural workers, perhaps the most ignored of the migration trouble spots. DHS Quietly Moving, Releasing Vanloads of Illegal Aliens Away from Border. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is quietly transporting illegal immigrants from the Mexican border to Phoenix and releasing them without proper processing or issuing court appearance documents, Border Patrol sources tell Judicial Watch. The government classifies them as Other Than Mexican (OTM) and this week around 35 were transferred 116 miles north from Tucson to a Phoenix bus station where they went their separate way. Judicial Watch was present when one of the white vans carrying a group of OTMs arrived at the Phoenix Greyhound station on Buckeye Road. Administration accuses judge of scaring illegals away from signing up for Obama's amnesty. The Obama administration accused a federal judge Tuesday of sowing "fear and confusion" among illegal immigrants, potentially scaring them away from signing up for President Obama's deportation amnesty by demanding immigration officials submit names of tens of thousands of migrants who've already enrolled. Justice Department lawyers also asked Judge Andrew S. Hanen not to force thousands of attorneys to take remedial ethics classes — an order the judge issued two weeks ago after he concluded that the administration intentionally and repeatedly misled him by implementing part of the amnesty, even as they assured the court it wasn't in operation yet. ICE spends millions flying illegal immigrant children across US. The Obama administration has spent at least $18.5 million to fly "unaccompanied children" caught crossing into the country illegally to locations inside the United States, according to newly obtained figures. The numbers, shared with FoxNews.com by the Senate subcommittee on immigration, were provided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in response to questions from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. The numbers shed light on the extent of a program that has drawn scrutiny not just from lawmakers but the federal courts, amid concerns the U.S. government is effectively aiding smugglers. DHS admits it's still violating judge's order on immigration amnesty. Homeland Security has discovered more three-year amnesty applications it approved in defiance of a federal judge's firm injunction, lawyers told the court late Wednesday — less than a week after the judge delivered a vicious spanking to the administration for repeatedly bungling the case. Leon Rodriguez, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said as they were preparing for their latest update to the court, they discovered three more three-year amnesties they had sent out, after Judge Andrew Hanen had ordered them not to. Clinton Releases Plan to Dissolve U.S. Border Within 100 Days. Professional Republicans in the #NeverTrump movement continue to oppose the presumptive nominee selected by the GOP electorate and are now floating strategies to throw the election to Hillary Clinton. However, an examination of Clinton's campaign promises reveals that Republicans who are willing to thwart Trump in favor of Clinton will be complicit in electing a President who would seek to bring about the complete and, possibly irreversible, dissolution of our nation's borders. Clinton Plans to Dissolve U.S. Border Within 100 Days of Taking Presidency. A review of Clinton's stated positions on the issue suggests she is perhaps the most extreme candidate on immigration ever to run for the office of the U.S. Presidency. Her views place her even further outside the mainstream of the American electorate than President Barack Obama, who systematically dismantled U.S. immigration law during his two terms in office. The Mexico Way. Obviously from context, Trump's "They're rapists" does not mean, as often alleged, "They're all rapists." Instead, he's raising the apparently excessively subtle question: "Why, with all the world to choose from, do we let immigrate any rapists?" After all, the Harvard admissions office doesn't feel satisfied if they hold their rapist admission rate down to the national average. America is the Harvard of immigrant destination countries, so why should it import problem people? But, to the press, that question seems inappropriate to ask. America isn't worthy of high standards like Harvard is. Instead, the 7 billion citizens of foreign countries should be assumed to have a civil right, under the Zeroth Amendment to the Constitution, to move to America whenever they feel like it — especially if a majority of Americans don't want them here. Moreover, it's striking how few in the press demonstrated any understanding of Trump's statement "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best." Illegal Immigrants Sue After Landlord Demands Documentation For Housing. Four Latino families filed papers to sue their Virginia landlord Monday [5/23/2016] after he threatened eviction due to illegal family members living on the premises. The civil rights lawsuit filed by families living in Waples Mobile Home Park in Fairfax County, Va., claims it is discriminatory to require a social security number for residency. The landlords at the mobile home park are requiring residents to provide either a social security card, passport or valid visa with documentation to renew their leases, reports The Washington Post. Justice rots from the top. Federal judges typically choose their words carefully. They are not prone to exaggeration. This is deliberate. One reason is that it makes their words have more impact, particularly on those rare occasions when they decide it is necessary to slough off the restraints and let loose on a misbehaving litigant or attorney. That's what a federal judge did Thursday, when he turned his baleful eye on attorneys from the U.S. Justice Department who were litigating the deferred-action immigration case that the Supreme Court will soon decide. The attorneys had lied to the court about when the Department of Homeland Security would begin implementing President Obama's immigration executive order. U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen denounced their conduct as "unseemly and unprofessional." Their lies, the judge noted, conned the 26 plaintiff states that were suing to stop the executive action, into "foregoing a request for a temporary restraining order." New immigration detention facility to include separate transgender housing. A new immigrant detention facility opening in November will house about 700 detainees, including a separate 36 bed unit for transgender immigrants[.] Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Carl Rusnok told Fusion.com the new Prairieland Detention Center will operate with the agency's most advanced care guidelines for transgender detainees. Each will have an individualized detention plan "covering items such as searches, clothing options, hygiene practices, medical care, and housing assignments." Federal Judge Issues 'Extraordinary' Order Sanctioning the DOJ for Misconduct in Executive Amnesty Litigation. In one of the most stinging court opinions I've ever read, federal district judge Andrew Hanon blasted Department of Justice officials for misleading the court during the course of executive amnesty litigation. [...] In other words, the Obama administration launched its executive amnesty program behind the court's back, and lied about it — ultimately granting lawful residence to more than 100,000 illegal immigrants until the court halted the program with an injunction. If the government had told the truth, the state plaintiffs (including Texas) would have been able to seek a temporary restraining order to attempt to block the program. House votes to ban housing illegal immigrants on military bases. House Republicans voted Thursday [5/19/2016] to ban the Defense Department from housing illegal immigrants on military bases, which might force President Obama's team to develop an alternative plan for housing the unaccompanied children arriving on the southern border. "By proving housing for illegal immigrants on military installations, we are wasting scarce defense dollars that should be used to train and equip our soldiers to fight our nation's wars," Rep. John Fleming, R-La. He proposed his solution as an amendment to legislation that funds the Department of Veterans Affairs and other military-related issues, and it passed 219-202. GOP House moves to require Library of Congress to use term 'illegal immigrant'. The GOP-led House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday [5/17/2016] approved a plan to require the Library of Congress to describe undocumented people in the United States as "illegal immigrants" — after the institution earlier this year removed the term "illegal alien" from search terms and cataloging. The library instead started using the term "noncitizens" and "un-authorized immigration," a change congressional Democrats defended. Feds open border to 4,000 Cubans, interviewed just 1 hour before release. U.S. Border Patrol officials are opening up the Texas border to let 4,000 Cubans in, taking about an hour to interview them and check their criminal background, before letting them enter the United States on their own where most will stay for life. Aware that Panama had airlifted nearly 250 of 4,000 Cubans to the Mexican border near El Paso, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency said it stands ready to process the new immigrants with speed, in fact faster it takes many Americans to get a drivers license or buy a gun. Consent of the governed and judicial tyranny. Yes, Montana is a purple state in that it has elected both Democrats and Republicans to statewide offices, but at heart we are a conservative state — a state grounded in traditional values such as respect for God, love of country, hard work and fair play. Unfortunately, because we go along to get along, we've been an easy target for the folks who are offended by God, are not that into patriotism, prefer not to work if at all possible, and think Fair Play is an amusement park ride. Consider this: According to a 2012 study by two political science professors at Stanford, Montana's state Supreme Court is the sixth most liberal court in the country. No wonder folks from California like to move to Montana! They probably view us as a colony. The latest last straw that should motivate a political revolution in our state, but probably won't, happened on Tuesday [5/10/2016] when the Montana Supreme Court threw out a voter-approved law meant to send a clear message to illegal aliens that they are not welcome here. Mexico warns of repercussions if remittances are blocked. If a new U.S. administration blocks the flow of remittances — the estimated $20 billion that Mexicans working in the U.S. send home each year — then joint efforts to stop money laundering and other illicit forms of finance will be dealt a dangerous setback, a senior Mexican official warned Thursday [5/12/2016]. Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has vowed, if elected, to make Mexico pay to build a wall along the entire southwest border, even if it means impounding remittance payments. Return of the Surge: Illegal immigrant minors, families flooding southern US border. Two years ago, the Obama administration referred to the surge of Central American children and families coming into the U.S. as a "humanitarian crisis." This year, it's worse — as Border Patrol agents apprehend even more Honduran, Guatemalan and Salvadoran immigrants claiming asylum. But due to a backlog in the courts, there is even less of a chance they'll be deported. Earthquake Amnesty in Works for Illegal Aliens from Ecuador, DHS Quietly Grants "Migratory Relief" in Spanish. Word of a special earthquake amnesty for Ecuadorean nationals living in the United States illegally is spreading like wildfire in Spanish media reports published throughout Latin America recently. A catastrophic, magnitude 7.8 temblor struck the ailing South American nation's pacific coast on April 16, killing hundreds and injuring thousands. Undoubtedly, it's been devastating and worthy of the tremendous humanitarian aid being provided by the U.S. government as well as a multitude of charities. However, the Ecuadorean nationals who stand to benefit from yet another one of President Obama's disaster amnesty initiatives already lived in the U.S. illegally when the earthquake hit. Offering this perk is like rewarding bad — in this case illegal — behavior. Kerry slams Trump's wall, tells grads to prepare for 'borderless world'. Secretary of State John Kerry took a shot at Donald Trump during his Friday [5/6/2016] commencement speech at Northeastern University, by saying no wall is big enough to keep dangerous terrorists out of the United States. We Must Change Park Ranger Uniforms to Make Illegal Aliens Feel Better. National Parks, originally known as Federal Reserves, have been in existence for well over 100 years with the first recognized in 1872 — that being Yellowstone, or Jellystone for you Yogi and Boo Boo enthusiasts. [...] The Park Rangers have offended someone, but not just anyone or any single individual. It seems the Rangers have offended and are said to be scaring an entire race of people. Yes, after 100 years of Park Ranger uniforms not offending anyone, it seems now the "Latino Community" has a palpable fear of them. We know this because the designated representative of the entire Latino community said so. Wait, Maite Arce is not the duly elected, rightfully chosen representative of all Latinos everywhere? No — apparently not. She does however speak for a radical leftist group, similar to La Raza, the Hispanic Access Foundation (HAF), who promote the causes of illegal aliens — but only Latinos. If you are a Norwegian illegal — she doesn't care. Now what could possibly be her and her groups beef? It seems Park Ranger uniforms too closely resemble those of the border patrol and I.C.E. agents. The Editor says... Illegal immigrant numbers skyrocket at Mexican border. Child migration is surging again. The number of families and unaccompanied children apprehended on the southern border has skyrocketed this year, according to new figures from the Obama administration. The numbers, compiled by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), reveal that child migration is on par with 2014 levels, when a wave of kids — thousands of them unaccompanied — arrived at the southern border. DHS admits deportations of illegal immigrants cut nearly in half. Despite a massive budget increase for the department charged with handling the illegal immigrant crisis, deportations by the U.S. Customs and Enforcement agency have plummeted 43 percent in just three years, according to federal data released by Sen. Jeff Sessions Monday [5/2/2016]. Deportations of Illegal Immigrants Sink as ICE Gets Cash Influx. The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency is receiving more taxpayer funds even as it expels fewer illegal immigrants, according to statistics published by the Department of Homeland Security showing that 43 percent fewer aliens were removed from the United States from 2012 to 2015. ICE deported nearly 410,000 aliens in 2012 when it received roughly $2.8 billion in taxpayer funds. In 2015, the agency expelled just 235,413 aliens but received around $3.5 billion to fund its deportation programs, according to the DHS statistics. Deportations dropped by 174,436 over the past three years despite an increase in funding totaling more than $680 million, according to statistics highlighted Monday by the Senate subcommittee on immigration and the national interest. Joe Arpaio defeats immigrant groups in court; Arizona ID theft law upheld. States can impose their own stiff penalties on illegal immigrants — or others — who steal someone's identity in order to get a job, a federal appeals court ruled Monday [5/2/2016], upholding Arizona's strict law and dealing a setback to immigrant rights advocates. The decision is yet another victory for Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and, more broadly, for Arizona, which has been a pioneer in trying to find ways to punish illegal immigrants, stepping into a void left by the Bush and Obama administrations. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said that while there are still some questions about how police and prosecutors use the identity theft laws, on their face they do not violate the Constitution, nor do they trample on the federal government's ability to set national immigration policies. Mexico Is Sending Us Colonists, Not Immigrants. "Mexico First" has been the open, avowed policy of the government of Mexico for a generation, and Mexico expects its former residents to be loyal to Mexico for the next 200 years. [...] Why does Mexico devote so much effort to promoting and helping millions of its citizens leave Mexico and start a new life in "el Norte"? Does the fact that the millions of Mexicans living in the U.S. send $25 billion dollars in cash remittances annually back to relatives in Mexico have anything to do with it — cash that provides 30 percent of Mexico's foreign investment, rivaling tourism in importance to the Mexican economy? President Obama: Accessory To The Crimes Committed By Illegal Aliens? President Obama stood in the White House Rose Garden [6/15/2012] to proclaim that "since Congress failed to act" he was going to take action. Of course to Obama, his concept of a "failure of Congress to act" was the refusal of Congress to pass bad legislation. When Congress votes down bad legislation, they most certainly are acting. Obama also deceptively said that this was about children, kids and young people, even though illegal aliens as old as 31 years of age could apply for this program, provided that they claimed that they entered the United States prior to their 16th birthdays. Without any interviews or field investigations being conducted, fraud likely permeates this program that has an approval rate of more than 95%. The Criminal Constituency. [Governor Terry] McAuliffe is here following the example of Barack Obama, another chief executive who has attempted to use particularistic powers entrusted him in a categorical rather than discrete fashion, thereby transforming exercises in executive privilege into policy changes that would normally require changes in the law. In the case of our ever-more-imperial president, the issue was illegal immigration: The federal government is under no particular obligation to prosecute every instance of illegal immigration — prosecutorial discretion is an ordinary feature of the law — but President Obama's general application of that discrete power amounted to a change in the law (an executive amnesty) and a usurpation of legislative authority. The matter is going to the Supreme Court; so far, the lower courts have looked upon the Obama administration's policy adventuring with skepticism. Department of Homeland Security scraps color-coded border security index plan. Five years ago, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security dropped its color-coded terror threat index developed after the 9/11 attacks amid widespread confusion and ridicule. So what did it do when tasked by Secretary Jeh Johnson in 2014 with measuring security along the country's borders? Agency staff proposed another system of reds, yellows and greens. The Institute for Defense Analyses, a consulting firm, was hired by DHS to review the idea and found the index simplistic and misleading, noting that colors were a "disaster" for communicating terror threats. Immigrant Population Poised to Hit Highest Percentage Ever. While they did not receive much attention when they were released last month, new projections from the Census Bureau show the enormous impact of immigration on the U.S. population. For the first time, the Bureau projected the future size of the immigrant (foreign-born) population and found that by 2023 immigrants will account for more than one in seven U.S. residents (51 million) — the largest share ever recorded in American history. Driven largely by legal immigration, not illegal immigration, the immigrant population will grow to nearly one in five U.S. residents (78 million) by 2060, the Bureau projects. The total U.S. population will grow to almost 417 million — 108 million more than in 2010. Texas Gov.: SCOTUS Will Be 'Completely Rewriting' Constitution by Favoring Obama in Immigration Lawsuit. Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott said that the U.S. Constitution will be "completely rewritten" if the Supreme Court sides with President Obama in the lawsuit challenging his executive action on immigration. Abbott, formerly the state's longest-serving attorney general, told reporters Thursday morning that the lawsuit brought against the president by Texas and 25 other states is "framed under" the issue of immigration but in reality challenges Obama's use of executive power to "unilaterally" rewrite laws. "The lawsuit is about the fact that the president completely abandoned the Constitution to assume power he does not have and wrote law that he himself, as a constitutional lawyer, said he did not have the power to do," Abbott said during a roundtable discussion at the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C. Illegal immigrant families crossing border at record pace in 2016. Illegal immigrant families are streaming across the border at record pace, according to new Border Patrol statistics released Friday morning that show more than 32,000 have been caught trying to sneak into the U.S. That's nearly 40 percent higher than the previous record of 2014, and it's well more than double last year's pace, suggesting that the government's relaxed enforcement policies have backfired and invited a new wave of illegal crossers. There's somewhat better news when it comes to children traveling alone. The record pace has slackened slightly — though an uptick in March suggests that the warmer months could once again see a massive wave at the southwest border. Obama Administration Tells Supreme Court 'Lawfully' Doesn't Mean 'Legally'. Welcome to what Solicitor General Donald Verrilli told the Supreme Court on Monday [4/18/2016] is the "immigration world. Or, more accurately, welcome to the new world President Barack Obama — through his solicitor — is asking the Supreme Court to join him in declaring. It is a world that contradicts the law of noncontradiction. It is a place where something can be and not be at the same time. It is a place of illogic — and lawlessness. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Monday in U.S. v. Texas. This case pits 26 states against the Obama administration on the question of whether the Executive Branch — n.b. the president through a bureaucratic subordinate — can unilaterally declare that more than four million foreign nationals who are illegally in the United States may stay here, work here and acquire eligibility for Social Security, disability and Medicare. Lubbock Mayor Shocked by Border Tour: 'More Porous Than I Imagined'. Lubbock Mayor Glen Robertson toured the U.S.-Mexico border with Border Patrol agents and Breitbart Texas Director Brandon Darby. Despite heavy rainfall, Robertson got a first-hand look at just how wide open the border is and what agents have to deal with in attempting to secure our border. Robertson is currently in a primary runoff for the Texas CD-19 seat left open by retiring Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-TX) and the mayor has emerged as a champion for the Border Patrol agents' cause. Intel Lays Off 12,000 After Seeking Visas to Import 14,523 Foreign Professionals Since 2010. Technology giant Intel announced April 19 it will fire 12,000 skilled U.S.-based professionals — after already swelling its workforce with 14,523 requests in Washington D.C. since 2010 for visas to import foreign professionals through the controversial H-1B and Green Card programs. The company said the layoffs were part of a restructuring plan to help shift its focus from desktop PCs to mobile devices. But the company is very profitable, and first-quarter 2016 profits were 14 percent above predictions. E-Verify And The Deep Duplicity Of Our Government On Immigration. [Scroll down] There is no mightier political force today in European and European-settler nations than promotion of mass immigration. All our laws and regulations have been twisted to enable it; every other legal and political principle is subordinate to it; and the truth of all this is hidden inside a squid-ink cloud of buncombe about "enforcement" and "reform." A key component of this absolutist mass-immigration-über-alles regime is the further twisting of laws and rules to make deportation of illegals well-nigh impossible. That is what we see with this bogus E-Verify scam. The Highlights of the Supreme Court Oral Argument on Obama's Executive Amnesty. In 2012, the Obama administration created the Deferred Action of Childhood Arrivals program, enabling 1.7 million illegal aliens under 30 years old brought to the U.S. as children to apply for work authorization and deferred deportation. A deferred action is relief from deportation or removal proceedings granted by the Department of Homeland Security. Then, in 2014, this program was expanded by, among other things, eliminating the age cap and increasing the term of deferred action and employment authorization from two to three years. The administration also created Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA), conferring deferred action on illegal aliens whose children are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, provided no other factors make deferred action inappropriate. It's all your money: US aiding business start-ups — for illegal aliens. Read the fine print on the Small Business Administration's website, and you'll find that the agency does not provide the funds to "start or grow" a small business — the engine of the American economy, providing roughly three-quarters of all new jobs. Rather, the SBA provides offers loan guarantees to the banks and lenders that do provide seed money. So it might come as a surprise to American entrepreneurs that there is at least one group to whom the federal government is providing direct assistance for business start-ups: illegal aliens. In fact, these recipients of your taxpayer funds fall into an even more restricted category: illegal aliens who have been deported back to their native land. United States V. Texas. On April 18, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in United States v. Texas. The Obama administration is seeking to have the high court lift a lower court's injunction preventing two programs that would grant de facto amnesty and work authorization to about 4.7 million illegal aliens (approximately 40 percent of the estimated illegal alien population) from going into effect. The two programs, Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) and an expanded version of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA+), were announced by President Obama in November 2014, just two weeks after voters handed his party a stinging defeat in the midterm elections. In announcing these programs, the administration asserted broad discretionary authority to not just refrain from enforcing immigration laws against entire classes of violators, but also to grant them permission to live and work in the U.S., despite clear statutory prohibitions against both. Obama's immigration order overreaches. Sometimes it seems the Supreme Court's main purpose these days is to resolve disputes between Republicans and President Obama. Toward the end of Obama's first term, the court ruled on a challenge to his signature health care law. On Monday [4/18/2016], as Obama approaches the end of his second term, the justices are set to consider his executive order that would allow millions of undocumented workers to avoid deportation. Battle over Obama immigration actions lands before Supreme Court. The impassioned election-year debate over President Obama's immigration executive actions lands Monday [4/18/2016] before a short-handed Supreme Court, where justices will consider a fundamental question: how much power does the president truly have? The justices plan to hold 90 minutes of oral arguments dealing with Obama's bid to spare millions of illegal immigrants from deportation. A coalition of states calls it an executive power grab. "President Obama's executive action is an affront to our system of republican self-government," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who supports those states. Illegal immigrants are being deported on private jets — $300,000 every day to fly aliens back home. American taxpayers are forking out more than $300,000 every day to deport illegal immigrants on commercial flights and even on private jets, Daily Mail Online can exclusively reveal. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) spent $116m in 2015 to transport 235,413 people in the United States illegally back to their home countries. More than 40 percent of those who had violated visa restrictions were convicted criminals while more than 1,000 were identified as gang members. One of Every Six Workers in United States An Immigrant. The percentage of foreign-born workers in the U.S. civilian labor force has more than tripled over the past four decades. In an analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data, the Migration Policy Institute reveals that between 1970 and 2014 the percentage of foreign-born workers participating in the U.S. civilian labor force grew from 5 percent to 17 percent. Ted Cruz: The IRS 'Is Facilitating Illegal Immigration'. Cruz said he admits it's not an easy endeavor to abolish the IRS, but that a "mandate from the people" in 2016 would propel the effort. [...] Cruz went on to emphasize his plan to abolish the federal Department of Education, sending the money back to the states and allowing more local control of schools. He also expressed, in relation to constitutional conservatism and the Tenth Amendment, that he would not interfere with states' rights to determine for themselves on issues like marijuana legalization. Federal Judge Says Texas Can't Outlaw Harboring Illegal Aliens. A federal district judge in San Antonio has issued an order stopping a Texas law criminalizing the harboring of illegal aliens, at least for now. The judge issued the preliminary injunction in MALDEF's (Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund) lawsuit challenging Texas House Bill 11, a law which open border advocates are fighting because they say it improperly targets illegal alien shelters and those who rent to illegal aliens. Obama Grants 700,000 Green Cards to Islamic "Migrants". This disturbing information was circulated by the Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on Immigration, which assesses that if there's no change in the current policy, the U.S. will likely grant another 680,000 migrants — possibly more — from Muslim-majority countries green cards in the next five years. According to the DHS figures cited by the panel, Uncle Sam issued approximately 680,000 green cards to immigrants from 49 Muslim nations from fiscal year 2009 through fiscal year 2013. Over the same period, the U.S. issued only 270,000 green cards to migrants from the European Union, according to a committee announcement that reminds us "a green card entitles recipients to access federal benefits, lifetime residency, work authorization, and a direct route to becoming a U.S. citizen. Some of the recipients are admitted to the U.S. as refugees so they immediately qualify for federal welfare benefits like food stamps and Medicaid. McCain: We Need To Send The Military To Secure Our Southern Border. In a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Jeh Johnson, [GOP Sen. John] McCain asked Johnson why he hasn't requested help from the Department of Defense to combat drug traffickers piercing Arizona's border. DHS has been unable to prevent the flow of heroin and other narcotics flooding in from Mexico. McCain, chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services, noted that while the Army is conducting drone training missions, the service is not coordinating its efforts with the DHS, even though the DOD is definitely authorized to support counternarcotics activities. ACLU Sues to Make Bail More Affordable for Illegal Immigrants. The government should consider individuals' financial resources when setting the bond amount for aliens in removal proceedings, the ACLU argues. In a class lawsuit filed this month, the ACLU Foundation of Southern California and the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project say the federal government sets unacceptably high bond amounts for foreign nationals in deportation proceedings because it fails to consider their ability to pay. The result, the ACLU argues, is lengthier incarceration rates for poorer aliens. Progressives are implementing lopsided equity. [Scroll down] Take for instance Obama leveling the inclusive playing field with a porous border. That attempt at social engineering has subjected a once sovereign nation to an all out life-threatening invasion. As a result, sanctuary cities teem with dangerous illegal felons, Americans have died unnecessarily, and public school classrooms have been flooded with "unaccompanied minors," some of whom have infected our children with deadly foreign pathogens. Border Patrol ordered to release illegals 'still soaking wet' from Rio Grande, union says. Border Patrol agents have been ordered to release dripping-wet illegal immigrants at the Rio Grande unless they actually see them climbing out of the river, creating what amounts to "an open border with Mexico," the chief of the agents' labor union told Congress in new testimony last week. Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, told the House Judiciary Committee that agents were given the orders verbally soon after President Obama laid out plans for limiting immigration enforcement in 2014. Border Patrol Agents: Illegal Aliens Walking 'Out the Front Door,' 'We Don't Know Who We're Releasing'. Art Del Cueto, a Border Patrol agent and Vice President of the National Border Patrol Council, which has endorsed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, and National Border Patrol Council Spokesman and Border Patrol agent Shawn Moran stated that illegal immigrants who are not given notices to appear "walk out the front door" and "We don't know who we're releasing" in a report broadcast on Thursday's [4/7/2016] "O'Reilly Factor" on the Fox News Channel. U.S. Govt. Banking Program Facilitates Remittances to Mexico. The program is called "Directo a Mexico" and the Federal Reserve, the government agency that serves as the nation's central bank, launched it nearly a decade ago. Judicial Watch investigated the outrageous taxpayer-subsidized initiative and obtained government records back in 2006. It was created by President George W. Bush following the 2001 U.S.-Mexico Partnership for Prosperity, undermines our nation's immigration laws and is a potential national security nightmare. The goal was to provide low-cost banking services to illegal immigrants and facilitate the process for those sending money home. Remittances are transferred through the Federal Reserve's own automated clearinghouse linked directly to Mexico's central bank (Banco de Mexico). At the time Federal Reserve officials acknowledged that most of the Mexicans who send money home are illegal immigrants so a Mexican-issued identification is the only requirement to use the government banking service. America Now Has an Official Language: Newspeak. [Scroll down] Now let's consider how far we have fallen in just a few short years. The term "Alien" has been all but expunged from any discussions about immigration. This lunacy began under the administration of Jimmy Carter who mandated that INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service) employees stop using the term alien to describe illegal aliens. The term alien is hardly a pejorative. The term "alien" is a legal term that is defined in our immigration laws under Title 8 U.S. Code § 1101 - Definitions. [...] There is absolutely no insult in that term. The reason that there has been a concerted effort to expunge the word alien from the vernacular is to obfuscate the clarity that the term brings to the debate about immigration. This is not about being "politically correct," but about employing the Newspeak tactic of confounding understanding and making honest discussions impossible. As if we don't have enough drunks on the road already... Obama: Trump Blocking Remittances Would Collapse Mexico's Economy, Increase Immigration. Tuesday [4/5/2016] at the White House press briefing, President Barack Obama addressed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's plan to cut off funds sent to Mexico through money transfers, called remittances, unless Mexico payed for the border wall. Obama dismissed the viability of Trump's plan and argued it would increase immigration into the United States from Mexico. The Editor says... Mexico slams bill to tax illegal immigrants' wire transfers. The Mexican government has denounced bills in Georgia and Arizona that would tack a surcharge on wire transfers from illegal immigrants, instructing its consulates to consider "legal actions" should the proposals become law. The Mexican Foreign Relations Department's statement, released Thursday [3/31/2016], is the latest the country has lodged against legislation it deems "discriminatory toward people of Hispanic origin in general, and Mexican nationality in particular." The Editor says... Trump's Deportation Plan Would Cost at Least $400 Billion. Presidential candidate Donald Trump's plan to deport all undocumented immigrants would cost between $400 billion and $600 billion and take at least 20 years to implement, according to a report from the American Action Forum. The report estimates that there are currently 11.3 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States. To deport them, these individuals would have to be apprehended, detained, legally processed, and transported back to the country they originated from. The Editor says... Mexico tortures migrants — and citizens — in effort to slow Central American surge. A growing number of indigenous Mexicans are being detained and threatened with expulsion by immigration agents looking for undocumented Central American migrants. The trend comes amid a crackdown on migrants driven in part by political pressure and financial aid from the US. Deportations have already risen exponentially since summer 2014 when Barack Obama declared the surge in Central American child migrants a humanitarian crisis. Campaigners say that Mexico migration officials are running a secret quota system to increase the number of expulsions. Activists say that Mexico's National Immigration Institute is increasingly operating like an unchecked police force — and say that that like the country's security forces, it appears to be systematically using torture against detainees. Words 'illegal' and 'alien' banished from public libraries. Pro-immigration groups have successfully pressured the United States Library of Congress to remove the words "illegal" and "alien" from materials because the words are considered "pejorative" to people who enter the country illegally. The move will affect all U.S. libraries. Fusion reported that the change was made in response to a group of illegal alien students at Dartmouth College: "If you visit your local library today to research undocumented immigrants, you'll probably find the books are housed in a section with the subject heading "illegal aliens" — a term that immigrant-rights groups say is racially charged and dehumanizing. The nation's leading news organizations, including this one, have banned the phrase unless it's used in a quote. But soon that's going to change, thanks to a group of undocumented students at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire." Leftists Organize to Silence Border Patrol Agents Over Trump Endorsement. Radical leftists pushing for an open borders agenda are attempting to destroy the ability of over 80 percent of our nation's Border Patrol agents to speak out and sound the alarm to the public and to Congress. The Huffington Post reported that the open-borders extremist group, Not1More, is a "prominent immigrants rights group" and that they were behind an effort to have the AFL-CIO kick out the National Border Patrol Council from its ranks. Not1More derives its name from the idea that "not one more" illegal alien should be deported from the U.S. Record 25,741,000 Foreign-Born People Employed in the U.S.. The number of foreign-born people employed in the United States hit a record high in March, according to data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. According to the BLS, 25,741,000 foreign-born people had a job in the U.S. last month, an increase of 246,000 over the previous high recorded in November. The unemployment rate among the foreign-born population was 4.8 percent. The BLS statistics on the foreign-born do not distinguish between people who are in the country legally versus illegally. The agency's data on foreign-born employment is available through 2005. Camera catches illegals cutting border fence, driving trucks through. Brandon Judd, the head of the National Border Patrol Council, a union that represents 16,000 Border Patrol agents, testified last week at a congressional hearing. He said that an email from an agent in Arizona cited a 10-mile remote stretch of the border where smugglers cut the fence and drove two trucks through. Cameras caught the activity, but agents weren't close enough to investigate. "The scariest part is that we don't know what was in those vehicles," Judd said. The Editor says... The Courts are Even Worse than Obama Administration on Immigration, Sovereignty. Once again, the unelected federal courts are violating Congressional authority over the most important societal question: who is allowed to become a member of our society? As we've explored in detail in recent months, throughout our history the courts have always stayed away from questions of immigration and citizenship, with the understanding that a sovereign nation has the right to determine who enters its society and on what conditions a person is admitted to that society. In a representative democracy, those decisions are made by the elected branch of government. Unfortunately, the modern judiciary thinks otherwise, and [...] the courts will completely take over immigration if they are not stripped of their ill-gotten powers. U.S. Extends Amnesty to "Battered Spouses". Weeks after granting illegal immigrants in Flint, Michigan a special reprieve from deportation over the area's water crisis, the Obama administration has quietly expanded its boundless amnesty to award undocumented aliens with work authorization if they claim to be "battered spouses." The administration appears to be getting quite creative to meet its goal of implementing a far-flung amnesty that will ultimately apply to all of the millions living in the U.S. illegally. The Editor says... Library of Congress cancels 'illegal aliens' subject heading. The Library of Congress is no longer using the heading "illegal aliens" in bibliographic records, thanks to a request from Dartmouth College students. Library of Congress to Eliminate Terms 'Illegal Alien' and 'Alien'. The Library of Congress is dropping the terms "illegal alien" and "alien" from its subject headings after a group of college students and the American Library Association protested the words' usage. As early as May, the Library of Congress will begin revising its subject headings and replacing "Aliens" with "Noncitizens" and heading references to "Illegal aliens" with "Noncitizens" and "Unauthorized immigration." The Questions Liberals Never Have to Answer. [Question #7] How many Americans are out of work because illegal aliens have taken their jobs? How many Americans are on government assistance either because they've lost their jobs or because illegals have driven down the wage they can be paid? How many millions of Americans have been robbed, raped or murdered because we refuse to secure our borders? When you encourage this kind of lawbreaking, what message does it send to legal immigrants? DHS chief sad over deportations: 'Is it pleasant? Absolutely not.' The nation's top immigration officer said that the "11 million" undocumented aliens in the United States are "not going away," are "in effect" citizens, and added that deporting the few the administration wants out is unpleasant. Jeh Johnson, secretary of Homeland Security, told Harvard University students this week that the administration is focused on its plan to integrate illegals into America, despite the policy being tied up in court. A Trump-Lover's Manifesto. [Scroll down] There is a profound racism embedded in the notion that the best thing for any Latino or Muslim is to settle permanently in the United States. In being naturalized, they sever their ties to the civilization from which they came and assimilate into the Democrats' toxic liberal brew of consumerism, iPods, abortion, sodomy, fornication, pornography, marijuana, and atheism. Shame me though it does to say it, this mix is American culture, which I should know — I was born in the United States and have been fighting the left's influence on popular culture for most of my life. If the prevailing forces on the American left are so incensed by a Christianity that celebrates chastity, complementary gender roles, and strict family values, why on Earth are they promising Muslims that they will be happy settling in the very country the left strives to secularize? Cuban Refugees Flocking to Texas Border. The same week President Obama makes the first trip to Cuba by an American president in almost 90 years, The Rolling Stones will play a free concert in Havana — the first open-air show there by a British rock band. But changing times in the Communist country haven't stopped tens of thousands from fleeing the island and saying gimme shelter to American immigration officials at Texas land ports. Border agents: DHS has 'no intention' of deporting illegals. A top Homeland Security official told Border Patrol agents the Obama administration has "no intention of deporting" many of the illegal immigrants caught trying to sneak into the country, ordering instead that they be released so they don't clog up the courts, a leading advocate for agents testified to Congress. Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, said the orders are a new "catch and release" policy, which he said "amounts to amnesty" because it means many illegal immigrants are never asked to leave the country. John Kasich Wants to End Deportations and Enact Amnesty in His First 100 Days in Office. Because the Kasich campaign was largely ignored as a non-factor prior to Rubio's polling collapse, Kasich went months with virtually no scrutiny of even his most bizarre statements on the campaign trail. However, in recent days, Trump has increasingly set his sights on Kasich — whether it be Kasich's role at Lehman Brothers during the time of the economic collapse, as well as Kasich's support for NAFTA and Obama's Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement — a deal which Donald Trump and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) have warned would destroy Ohio's auto industry. In particular, Trump has zeroed in on Kasich's heretofore overlooked push for massive amnesty. Though it has transpired without much attention, Kasich has quietly amassed a string of bizarre, peculiar, and extreme statements on immigration that places him to the furthest leftward reaches of not just the Republican President field, but the Democratic Presidential field as well. Immigration officials shielded accused San Bernardino conspirator from ICE agents. Federal immigration officers refused to let an armed team of agents into their office to detain the accused conspirator in December's San Bernardino terrorist attack, government officials acknowledged Tuesday [3/15/2016], exposing an embarrassing lack of communication within the Department of Homeland Security. Those who ran the legal immigration benefits office in San Bernardino refused to let a team from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement enter to detain and hold Enrique Marquez so the FBI could interview him later, Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, said. Dallas: Turning red states blue, one city at a time. There is nothing surprising in this story at Breitbart about Dallas, Texas "progressive" mayor Mike Rawlings. But, please take note of the the big global bank — JP Morgan Chase — underwriting this series of discussions called 'City Makers Summit' where they are attempting to sell the idea that only migrants can revitalize cities. I've been begging for years for some think tank with economic know-how to do a study of long-established resettlement cities like Utica, NY (or Amarillo, TX!) because I believe such a study would quickly kill this notion that importing poverty was good for a city. Refugees Crucial to 'Global City,' Says Dallas Democrat Mayor. Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings said during a recent summit on the city's economy, its workforce, and its future, that he believes welcoming refugees is crucial to Dallas becoming a "global city." The Democratic mayor made the statement after being asked about "hosting refugees" and "bringing people inside" as "one of the building blocks of a revitalized town." Rawlings made these statements during a recent "City Makers Summit" hosted by The Atlantic and JP Morgan Chase. The Weirdness of Illegal Immigration. When someone ignores a federal statute, then it is naturally easy to flout more. In Los Angeles, half the traffic accidents are hit-and-run collisions. I can attest first-hand that running from an accident or abandoning a wrecked vehicle is certainly a common occurrence in rural California. Last night on a rural road, a driver behind me (intoxicated? Malicious? Crazy?) apparently tried to rear-end me, then turned off his lights, sped up, and at the next stop sign pulled over swearing out the window in Spanish. In this age and in these environs, why would one call a sheriff for a minor everyday occurrence like that? The point is simply that when there is no federal law, no one has any idea how several million arrive in the U.S., much less what exactly they were doing before their illegal arrival. [...] To read the local Fresno Bee is to collate a daily tally of stabbings, shootings, gang violence, carjackings, thefts, and chop shops — without any exegesis why this is so. Cuts in law enforcement? Therapeutic approach to the law? A complete failure to integrate and assimilate the second generation of illegal immigrants? The inability to offer jobs in a command state economy? Communists, Socialists Plot to Get 9 Million Leftist Immigrants Voting by October. Reports are pouring in from across the country that thousands of legal permanent residents from around the world have been inspired by Trump's rhetoric to become citizens just so they can vote against him. They are also inspired by some sketchy leftist organizations fueled by communist and socialist agendas. The leftists are working on a turnout of nearly nine million immigrant residents who are allegedly eligible for citizenship. We are constantly being told there are 12 million illegal immigrants here but the left has come up with 9 million residents in addition, many of whom were given Obama amnesty. New Pro-Amnesty Lawsuit Undermines Obama's Case for His Amnesty Executive Order. Next month, the Supreme Court of the United States will hear oral argument in United States v. Texas, which is the legal challenge by Texas and numerous other states to the Obama administration's "Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents" (DAPA) program. That program sought to provide amnesty for 5 million illegal aliens with a stroke of the president's pen — and it sought to insulate the unlawful action from challenge in court by claiming the action was simply within the "prosecutorial discretion" of the president. Record 61 million immigrants in U.S., 15.7 million illegally. There are a record 61 million immigrants and their American-born children in the United States, including an estimated 15.7 million illegally here, according to a new analysis of 2015 U.S. Census data. The estimated number of undocumented immigrants is one of the highest ever. The analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies found that 45.3 million, or three-fourths of the 61 million, are legal immigrants and their children. The report out Monday [3/7/2016] notes that the so-called "Gang of Eight" immigration bill supported by GOP presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio would have doubled that number of legal immigrants. AZ Sheriff Babeu: 170% Year-Over-Year Increase In Illegal Family Units, BP Not Allowed To Go Into 'High-Traffic Areas'. Pinal County, AZ Sheriff and Congressional candidate Paul Babeu (R) stated that "Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of illegals that are coming in. And we pointed out, there's not just a 25% increase in the first four months of this fiscal year, there's 102% increase in unaccompanied juveniles, and 170% year-over-year increase in family units" and Border Patrol agents aren't allowed to go into "known high-traffic areas" a move he said "is intentional" on the Obama administration's part on Tuesday's [3/8/2016] broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "Your World with Neil Cavuto." You Can't Have a Constitution without a Nation to Go with It. [Scroll down] In other words, when you bring in millions of foreigners from socialistic countries with no real tradition of limited, constitutional government, you'll eventually end up with a socialistic country with no more limited, constitutional government. When that happens, the government is free to take away every liberty you have, regardless of what that dusty ol' Constitution has to say about the matter. And that's what the Democrats (as well as the establishment Republicans) want — a government that they can use to milk the hard-working people of this country for money and power. This is why it is vitally important that the flow of immigrants into this country be halted, and those who are here be required to Americanize and assimilate, or else be asked to return to where they came from. America is not simply a geographical or political entity. It is a nation with its own unique culture, traditions, mores, and history. We need to crack down on illegal immigrants wiring money out of the U.S.. The Obama administration has shown a complete lack of both competence and interest when it comes to securing our borders and enforcing our immigration laws. And that's costing us a lot of money. Billions, in fact. There are the billions of taxpayer dollars used to subsidize illegal immigrants' health care and education. There's the revenue we lose out on when illegal immigrants don't pay income taxes. And there's a less recognized pot of billions — the billions of dollars of earnings that illegal immigrants wire out of the United States with no tax or penalty. We have a lot of folks here in the United States from other countries — some are here legally, many of them are not — who go to storefronts or bodegas to wire money to their home country. DHS Secretary: 'There's Only So Much Border Security You Can Accomplish'. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson told the Senate Homeland Security Committee Tuesday that more must be done to address the problems in Central America that have led to an uptick in unaccompanied children attempting to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, because "there's only so much border security you can accomplish" to deal with people who are motivated to leave their homes to travel to the U.S. Record Immigration Will Buoy Hillary. Last October, I analyzed how record immigration is creating a permanent Democrat majority. Today, my friend Steven Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies, published an insightful breakdown of immigration numbers from the most recent Census data, which further portends electoral doom for conservatives. [...] As a way of quantifying the magnitude of this great wave of immigration, Camarota tallied the Census data of the immigrant population and their American-born children under the age of 18. Focusing just on the raw number of immigrants often overlooks the broader effect of mass migration, especially resulting from immigrants with high birth rates. He found that there are now 61 million immigrants living in America, including those minor children. Camarota's best estimate is that 15.7 million of them are illegal immigrants and minor children born in the U.S. to at least one illegal immigrant parent. This is unprecedented in our history. As late as 1970, just 13.5 million immigrants (including their minor children) were living here, representing just 6.6% of the population. Now immigrants and their children comprise 19% of our population. Who controls our southern border? Us or them? Multiple law enforcement officials have told me that the U.S. is no longer calling the shots on our southern border between Arizona and Mexico. They say Mexico's drug cartels decide who crosses. [...] In regions heavily trafficked by the drug cartels, the border fence is more marker than barrier. In some places, it's nonexistent. For Democrats, Immigration Is About Winning Elections. If Democrats really care about the plight of illegal immigrants flooding our borders, they should do a better job taking care of them before they reach voting age. A recent Government Accountability Office investigation found the Obama administration lost track of thousands of immigrant children captured crossing U.S. borders. According to the Washington Free Beacon, of the 53,518 children captured crossing the borders in 2014, federal officials only "followed up with just 2.2 percent." Illegal Aliens Cost The U.S. Plenty. A center-left think tank has hailed new findings showing that illegal immigrants contribute $11.6 billion in state and local taxes nationwide. But that report really shows how little they pay compared to the rest of us. If there's any doubt America is importing poverty, take a look at a new study this week from the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, which touts the $11.6 billion illegals pay in taxes to state and local coffers. This isn't federal or payroll taxes, just cash paid through sales taxes, property taxes and city and state fees. Now or never: Trump's 'wall' talk sparks migrant rush on U.S.-Mexico border. Gang violence and poverty have for years pushed Mexicans and Central Americans north to the United States, but recently a new driver has emerged: the anti-immigrant tone of leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. From the slums of Central America to close-knit migrant communities in U.S. cities, Trump's rise to the front of the Republican pack has not gone unnoticed and is partly behind a spike in the numbers of migrants trying to enter the country, including children traveling without guardians. Top border chief to agents who object to Obama amnesty: 'Look for another job'. [T]he man who oversees the U.S. Border Patrol said Tuesday [3/1/2016] that if agents have a problem with President Obama's deportation amnesty, they should quit. The strong remarks by Customs and Border Protection Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske came as tensions between Congress and the White House grew even higher, with House GOP leaders announcing they'll hold an unprecedented vote to have their chamber join in the lawsuit trying to halt the amnesty. House Speaker Paul D. Ryan said he and his troops are determined to send a message that Mr. Obama's moves have broken faith with the Constitution's division of power between the legislature and the executive branch." Water Amnesty for Illegal Aliens in Flint, Michigan. Caving into the demands of the open borders movement and pro-immigrant Spanish media, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will refrain from enforcing immigration laws in areas of Flint, Michigan affected by a water crisis. The water amnesty is the latest of many reprieves issued by the Obama administration to help illegal immigrants nationwide. Judicial Watch has reported on many of them, including recent hurricane, earthquake, Ebola and "severe weather" amnesties. Flow of Illegal Immigrant Children Into U.S. Expected to Rise in 2016. The flow of illegal immigrant children into the United States is expected to rise to record-breaking numbers in 2016 as deportations decrease, according to leading members of the Senate's Judiciary Committee. At least 20,455 unaccompanied minors have been caught during fiscal year 2016 along the U.S.-Mexico border as of last month, according to committee chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa), who warned that if this trend continues, the number of illegal minors could eclipse a massive 2014 surge that strained the resources of the Department of Homeland Security and prompted investigations into the Obama administration's handling of the issue. While illegal border crossings surge, the number of children actually being deported from the United States is declining, senators said during a Tuesday [2/23/2016] hearing with senior Obama administration officials. Sen. Jeff Sessions: Less than Four Percent of Border-Surge Minors Sent Home. While the Border Patrol has apprehended tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors illegally entering the United States in recent years, fewer than one in 27 have been sent home, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) revealed Tuesday [2/23/2016]. Speaking at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing examining the ongoing border surge of illegal immigrant minors, Sessions said that although 127,193 unaccompanied minors have been apprehended in the past 2.5 years, just 4,860 have been returned home. Clinton says she'll go further than Obama on immigration. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders both said they'll go further than President Barack Obama on the issue of immigration, with Sanders condemning recent deportation raids as "unacceptable." Mexican cartels patrol border with drones — and U.S. has no response. There are legions of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) patrolling the U.S.-Mexico border, and they do not belong to the United States. They are owned and operated by Mexican drug cartels, and there's nothing we can currently do to stop them. The proliferation of small, cheap UAVs (aka drones) has raised a litany of security concerns, from interference with commercial aviation to possible delivery systems for weapons. Along the U.S. southern border, the Mexican cartels are operating drones as intelligence gathering tools. Cartels traditionally have employed falcones (Spanish for falcons) — people who perch on points along the border to monitor border patrol movements, collecting information that smugglers could exploit to outmaneuver America's border security efforts. After branding Trump 'not Christian' for his plans to build a wall on the Mexican border the Pope heads home to Vatican City... which is surrounded by a wall. After warning Donald Trump that building a 'huge wall' on the Mexican border is 'not Christian', Pope Francis is returning home to Vatican City.... which is entirely surrounded by an enormous stone wall. The Pope made a direct dig at The Donald before he left his week-long tour of Mexico today, telling his followers that the idea was 'not in the gospel'. However, Trump's supporters were quick to point out the irony of the Pontiff's words, as the Vatican is behind a walled enclave that sits within the city of Rome. Good Fences. The big election kerfuffle of the week was the Pope's ill-considered attack on those who want to limit illegal immigration from Mexico by building a wall at the border. To many it seemed an attack on Donald Trump whose campaign against illegal immigration struck a receptive chord with voters. Many noted the hypocrisy of such a statement coming from the head of the Vatican state which is itself surrounded by a wall erected in the ninth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries to protect against pirates and invaders. NJ town providing legal tips to illegal immigrants to skirt ICE raids. A New Jersey town is attempting to protect illegal immigrants from "really unfortunate" arrests by publishing handouts in English and Spanish that encourage immigrants "to remain silent" and "have a plan!" if confronted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. The response from Princeton officials comes following the targeted arrest of two illegal immigrants in the town early Thursday morning [2/18/2016], one of whom had a drunken driving conviction, an ICE official told NJ.com. Frank Gaffney Warns: Southern Border Now a 'Fertile Environment For Jihadis'. Frank Gaffney, founder of the Center for Security Policy, appeared on Breitbart News Daily with host Stephen K. Bannon on Wednesday [2/17/2016] to discuss the need for tighter border security, and how it conflicts with Pope Francis' support for mass migration from the Third World into Western countries. Gaffney used the Zika virus as a metaphor for how mass migration brings security pathologies from regions with serious security issues into the United States, much as Zika has flourished in countries with less stringent disease and mosquito control protocols.
Paul Ryan: 'We're Not Going To Be Talking About Visa Caps'. In a remarkable interview with popular Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo, House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) declined multiple times to answer whether he would, as Speaker of the House, allow legislation to proceed curbing the rapid growth of America's foreign-born population. Ninety-two percent of GOP voters want immigration frozen or slashed, according to Pew polling data. Why Do Trump and Rubio Still Favor Cheap Foreign Labor? While the leftist media is busy asking candidates about their shoes, the things the American people should know — indeed, need to know — before they vote in the primaries and again in the fall never seem to come up. In keeping with this pattern of discussing nonsense over substance, two of the candidates running for the Republican presidential nomination, Marco Rubio and Donald Trump, have never been asked to fully explain their position on foreign workers: Why do they both support the importation and use of cheap foreign labor, and the displacement of American employees? While Rubio is widely known for his comprehensive amnesty bill, his name is also on another atrocious and much more recent immigration bill. He has yet to be asked about it at a debate or in any major forum on the campaign trail. Illegals leave Texas detention with free Samsung Galaxy 4 phone — for safety!. The government is giving immigrant families released from Texas detention facilities free cell phones. The criteria used to determine who will be offered the phones are those who are considered low flight risks and unlikely to pose a danger to the community, according to Fox News. So far, 25 families have been offered the phones, which aren't your run-of-the-mill phones — they're Samsung Galaxy 4 smartphones — and the program is understandably coming under fire. DHS Chief: Obama Administration Working With UN to Make it Easier For Central Americans to Gain Refugee Status in the U.S.. Homeland Security Secretary (DHS) Jeh Johnson said last week that the Obama administration is trying to make it easier for "individuals" from Central America to gain refugee status in the United States in response to the ongoing surge of unaccompanied alien children (UACs) and families entering the country illegally in recent years. "We are preparing to offer vulnerable individuals fleeing the violence in Central America a safe and legal alternate path to a better life," Johnson said in his State of Homeland Security speech at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, D.C., on Thursday [2/11/2016]. Sanders Advocates Path to Citizenship, Using Executive Orders 'If Congress Doesn't Do the Right Thing'. Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) says he mostly agrees with President Obama, except when it comes to his deportation policies. "And I would not support those," Sanders said at Thursday's Democratic debate in Milwaukee. "Bottom line is a path towards citizenship for 11 million undocumented people. If Congress doesn't do the right thing, we use the executive orders of the president." Sanders was applauded for saying it. Senators Push Bill Demanding Legal Aid for Immigrant Kids. A group of Democratic senators on Thursday presented a bill seeking to guarantee immigrant, mostly Central American children access to legal advice and due process when facing deportation. The bill was motivated by the fact that often Central American minors who illegally cross the southern U.S. border alone fleeing violence in their countries, and other "vulnerable individuals," must appear before immigration judges without access to legal advice. Federal program that issues smartphones to new immigrants raises questions. A federal government contractor is issuing smartphones to immigrant families released from two massive Texas detention centers as a way to ensure that they are able to contact case managers and reach their U.S. destinations. Officials described the phones as part of a less-restrictive alternative to detention programs designed to make sure that low-risk immigrant families with pending cases show up for court. The phones, they said, are not used to track or monitor immigrants but rather as a safety net. But immigrant advocates were skeptical of the new phones, and the program. The Editor says... It's Tax Refund Time for Illegal Aliens! This year there is yet another tax break for illegals in the tax system. Unlike citizen and green card workers who are not participating in Obamacare or another qualifying plan, who will be paying a penalty of up to $695 per adult (with a family limit of $2,085) for not joining the system, illegals without coverage pay no penalties. None at all. Dem. Senator Calls for Investigation into Alleged H-1B Visa Abuse at Eversource Energy. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) is calling for a Justice Department investigation into allegations that a northeastern utility company fired hundreds of workers and forced them to train their less expensive foreign replacements. In a story that has become more common, Eversource Energy has been accused of contracting with outsourcing firms to import lower-paid, foreign workers on H-1B visas to replace their American information technology staff. In the process, the 200 workers who lost their jobs were allegedly made to train their replacements and remain silent about the matter. A Careless Executive. In few cases in its long history has the Supreme Court had occasion to interpret Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution, which provides that the president "shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed." This year it may have another. We'll know by the end of the Court's term in June, just as the presidential race is heating up. United States v. Texas is the case to watch. At issue is President Obama's executive action on immigration known as DAPA (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans). Under DAPA, undocumented immigrants who satisfy certain conditions may live here for three years, a temporary reprieve from deportation, and obtain work permits. The conditions are that they have children who are either American citizens or lawful permanent residents and that they have been in the United States since January 2010. America is a Nation Headed For a Fall. Even as our economy becomes ever more centered on educated workers, we're welcoming in massive numbers of immigrants, both legal and illegal who are uneducated. Approximately half of them end up on government assistance paid for by Americans who are laughed at when they question whether unlimited amounts of immigration helps our country. Obama reinstates 'catch-and-release' policy for illegal immigrants. The Obama administration has revived the maligned illegal immigrant "catch-and-release" policy of the Bush years, ordering Border Patrol agents not to bother arresting and deporting many new illegal immigrants, the head of the agents' labor union revealed Thursday [2/4/2016]. Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, told Congress that Homeland Security was embarrassed by the number of illegal immigrants not showing up for their deportation hearings, but instead of cracking down on the immigrants, the department ordered agents not to arrest them in the first place — meaning they no longer need to show up for court. Mr. Judd said the releases are part of President Obama's "priorities" program, which orders agents to worry chiefly about criminals, national security risks and illegal immigrants who came into the U.S. after Jan. 1, 2014. Mr. Judd said illegal immigrants without serious criminal convictions have learned that by claiming they came before 2014 — without even needing to show proof — they can be released immediately rather than being arrested. Border Patrol Agent: We Will Be Terminated If We Try To Enforce The Law. A top Border Patrol agent revealed Thursday [2/4/2016] that if border agents follow the law and ask illegal aliens why they are coming to the U.S. they will be terminated. The Border Patrol previously had a policy of "catch and release" that drew the ire of Border Patrol agents: "These orders are called Notices to Appear (NTA). The only problem, however, is that these official orders are usually ignored; so much so that Border Patrol Agents have dubbed them Notices to Disappear," Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council testified. Border agent: 'We might as well abolish our immigration laws altogether'. In a shocking reversal of policy, U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents are being told to release illegal immigrants and no longer order them to appear at deportation hearings, essentially a license to stay in the United States, a key agent testified Thursday [2/4/2016]. What's more, the stand down order includes a requirement that the whereabouts of illegals released are not to be tracked. "We might as well abolish our immigration laws altogether," suggested agent Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council. Illegal Immigrants Demanding In-State Tuition Lose at GA Supreme Court. Illegal immigrants the Obama administration has shielded from deportation may not sue for less expensive college tuition, the Supreme Court of Georgia ruled Monday [2/1/2016]. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court denied an appeal of a lower court's ruling, saying that the Georgia Board of Regents may not be sued by the 39 plaintiffs seeking in-state tuition as the board is protected by "sovereign immunity," the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports. The Map: 'Sanctuary Cities' cross the 300 mark with Dallas, Philly. The number of so-called "Sanctuary Cities" has crossed 300 in a rapid expansion despite public protests and moves in Congress to cut off funding. The Center for Immigration Studies has updated its list to include Dallas County in Texas, Philadelphia, five Kentucky counties and possibly the whole state of Massachusetts as areas where federal law enforcement demands for information and access to jailed illegals immigrants will be denied. More about sanctuary cities. Feds to cut aerial surveillance on the border by 50 percent. Texas Republican Gov. Gregg Abbot and Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar on Monday [2/1/2016] sent a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson demanding to know why the agency is planning to cut back aerial monitoring along the southern border by 50 percent. "Given the recent surge of migrants from Central America and Cuba along the southern border, we believe DHS should request more surveillance and security resources, not fewer," the lawmakers wrote in the letter, first reported by the Texas Tribune. Feds to cut aerial surveillance on the border by 50%. Texas governor Greg Abbott and Democratic congressman Henry Cuellar have sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security demanding an explanation why the agency is planning to cut back aerial monitoring of the southern border by 50%. 5 Facts Illegal-Immigration Zealots Won't Admit. [#2] Illegal immigrants get all the legal breaks. State and local officials in California play favorites when enforcing laws. They ignore the transgressions of people who aren't supposed to be in the state and throw the book at citizens and legal residents. [Historian Victor Davis] Hanson noted, for example, that he would be fined for burning just one grape stake on his farm if it violated environmental rules, but illegal aliens in his area regularly dump garbage by the road and live in motor homes with illegal wiring and sewage. "Executive authorities compensate for their impotence in not enforcing statutes for some by excessively enforcing them on others," he said. Obama administration is starting in L.A. to help immigrants become citizens. Obama administration officials met in Los Angeles on Friday [1/29/2016] with Mayor Eric Garcetti, local nonprofits and business owners to discuss ways to encourage immigrants to become U.S. citizens. "To launch forward we must return to our core values as Americans and even in these tough times strive to embrace our role as a nation of immigrants, a nation of dreamers, a nation of hope," Garcetti said on Twitter about the meeting, which was closed to the public. U.S. Commits $9.5 Mil to Migrant Education. The money will flow through the Office of Migrant Education which operates under the bloated U.S. Department of Education, Jimmy Carter's brilliant creation. The funds will be divided between the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP), which will receive $5,407,472 and the High School Equivalency Program (HEP) for migrants, which will get $4,082,415, according to an announcement in the federal register. CAMP helps migrant and seasonal farmworkers and members of their immediate family pay for college. HEP assists them in obtaining a general education diploma that meets guidelines for high school equivalency. The government will then help those folks gain employment or be placed in an institution of higher education, compliments of Uncle Sam. Report: DHS Incapable of Accurately Reporting Visa Overstays. The Department of Homeland Security remains unable to accurately report the number of aliens who illegally overstay their visas into the country more than 12 years after the agency was ordered to employ a tracking system to monitor these individuals, according to a new government oversight report that is highly critical of the department's efforts. More than 12 years after DHS was ordered to implement a biometric system to track the number of aliens who leave the United States when their visas expire, the agency is still in the planning stages and has failed to meet its mandated requirement, according the Government Accountability Office, which has been tracking the department's progress since 2004. Texas AG: Obama Admin. Resettled Syrians 'Under Cloak Of Secrecy'. The Obama administration admitted in federal district court late last week that it did not give advance notice to Texas about settling a family of seven Syrian refugees in the state, according to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The failure to inform Texas authorities of the resettlement plans in advance, Paxton said, is a violation of the court's directive. The attorney general's office on Tuesday [1/26/2016] filed a response with the court supporting its request for an injunction. Supreme Court Will Hear Obama "Executive Amnesty" Case — U.S. v Texas (Judge Hanen Ruling). D.A.P.A or Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program — is the executive action Obama attempted in November of 2014 which was shut down by Federal Judge Andrew Hanen in February '15 with the issuance of an emergency injunction. [...] The underlying case has never been argued at the lower court level. As soon as Judge Hanen delivered the initial injunction, the DOJ began the appeals process against the injunction without ever arguing the merits of the underlying case. Joy Reid: Republicans Brought This On By Ignoring Conservatives, And Immigration Was Deal-Breaker. [Scroll down] Immigration is where the bargain just broke down. And that base, the base of the party is no longer willing to go along with any part of the elite. Not the movement conservatives. Not the money elite part of the party. They're just not willing to go along with it. Immigration was the deal-breaker and they are gone. They cannot be brought back into the tent. Not even by the mighty National Review. Sessions: Visa Overstays 'Tantamount to an Open Border'. Senator Jeff Session of Alabama blasted the findings of a new DHS report on visa overstays. "This long-awaited report from the Department of Homeland Security demonstrates that we are in the midst of a national immigration crisis. The report examined only temporary visitors travelling as tourists or business workers, and only those entering at sea and air ports, and yet found that a shocking 527,127 individuals illegally overstayed past their mandatory date of departure. That's more than half a million overstays in one year for this one category of aliens. These figures do not include any foreign students or any other foreign worker programs such as the H-1B, the L-1, the H-2B and many, many more. Nor does it include those who arrived through land ports, thus millions who came on border crossing cards are excluded. And, because this report was only generated using biographic data, and not biometric data, the true number of overstays is likely much higher," Sessions says in a statement in response to the report. DHS: 500,000 people overstayed their U.S. visas in 2015. A new government report released Tuesday night [1/19/2016] found more than half a million foreign nationals who received temporary visas to enter the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program or B Visa in 2015 overstayed their permits. A total of 527,127 people visiting the U.S. through both programs failed to leave and have remained in the country without legal status or lawful presence. According to the report, more than 90 percent of those who remained in the country illegally, a total of 482,781, were believed to still be present through the end of last year, according to Department of Homeland Security data. The Supreme Court Will Hear Case on Administration's Immigration Actions. On Tuesday morning [1/19/2016], the Supreme Court announced that it will hear a case brought by Texas and 25 other states challenging President Barack Obama's attempt to give legal status and work authorizations to more than four million illegal immigrants. In a brief order, the Supreme Court directed the government and the states to address whether the Obama administration's program "violates the Take Care Clause of the Constitution." Supreme Court will rule on President Obama's immigration plan. The Supreme Court will give President Obama a final shot at implementing his plan to shield more than 4 million undocumented immigrants from deportation. The justices agreed Tuesday [1/19/2016] to hear the administration's contention that Obama has the power to change immigration policy without going through Congress. Supreme Court to rule on Obama immigration orders. Illegal immigration has already been a hot topic in the presidential contest, but the high-profile attention brought on by the Supreme Court fight could amp up the debate even further as the campaign plays out this spring and summer. In their order Tuesday [1/19/2016], the justices added one question to the case: whether Obama's actions violated the Constitutional provision requiring him to "take care that the Laws be faithfully executed" — in essence, whether existing law bars the president from making the kinds of enforcement changes he sought to make. So-called 'Unaccompanied alien children' numbers are on target to surpass Invasion 2014. [E]ven as Obama's State Department seeks to involve the United Nations in choosing Central Americans (and not just the 'children' now but whole families) as 'refugees' destined for your towns, the southern border invasion of illegals is underway and if the rate of arrival for the first three months of FY2016 continues throughout the fiscal year, 2016 will see an even greater arrival rate than the disastrous 2014 summer! El Salvador to receive $65 million to prevent migration of minors. El Salvador will receive some $65 million of the $750 million approved by the U.S. Congress to halt the migration of Central American children and teens, through Washington's plan for the "Northern Triangle" of Central America, a Salvadoran presidential aide said Monday [1/18/2016]. Roberto Lorenzana said the distribution of the funds was decided during a meeting last week of the presidents of the Northern Triangle nations — El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala — with U.S. Vice President Joe Biden. Lorenzana said that some $65 million were assigned to El Salvador, $89 million to Honduras and $112 million to Guatemala. U.S. Considers 6 Military Bases to House Illegal Immigrants. A year after fierce opposition disrupted a contentious plan to use American military bases as shelters for illegal immigrants, the Obama administration is quietly working to make it happen and six facilities throughout the nation are currently being considered. Under the plan the military installations would house droves of under-aged illegal immigrants, officially known as Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC), who have entered the country from Central America in the last two years. Busted! — Republican State of Union Response Carried Amnesty Pledge in Spanish Version. There is a bigger controversy about to break wide-open that's potentially far more significant than Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell approving Nikki Haley's non-subtle attack on GOP frontrunner Donald Trump. That bigger controversy is the Spanish version of the GOP State of the Union rebuttal containing an "amnesty pledge". In GOP State of the Union responses, different messages in English and Spanish on immigration. The Republican Party's immigration split was reflected Tuesday in the two responses hand-picked party members gave — one in English, one in Spanish — to President Obama's final State of the Union address. The Spanish version, offered by a Cuban-American congressman from Miami, was decidedly softer. US Turns to UN to Screen Refugees From Central America. The Obama administration is planning to expand a program to let would-be migrants from Central America apply for refugee status before they attempt to come to the U.S., Secretary of State John Kerry said Wednesday [1/13/2016]. The office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees will now conduct initial screenings to see whether migrants from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala may qualify as refugees eligible to come to the United States legally. Keywords: Abdication, incompetence, one world government, open borders Reflections on Wise and Suicidal Immigration. [Scroll down] Unfortunately, 21st century immigration policy has forgotten [the] old rules and become illiberal and tribal. Is it any surprise that foolish immigration practices are proving as reactionary and destructive as wise ones were once enlightened and beneficial? Immigration is now often in violation of U.S. law. There are somewhere over 11 [sic] illegal immigrants currently living in the United States. Breaking the law should be the last not the first act of a new immigrant. Obama immigration raids [are] a potential 'disaster' for Hillary Clinton, Democrats. President Obama's new series of raids designed to arrest and deport illegal immigrant Central Americans could end up being a "disaster" for Democrats in the presidential election, pushing Hispanic voters to stay home rather than turn out to vote, activists said Wednesday [1/6/2016]. The raids are a particular challenge for Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, who has yet to personally denounce them. Given her checkered history on immigration, Latino activists said she must move quickly and forcefully to rebuke Mr. Obama if she hopes to energize Hispanic voters. Oh, good! How much will this cost? Feds shuttle illegal migrants around Texas. With their 21-day window closing, hundreds of minor migrants from Central America have been shuttled to new government holding facilities in Texas. Up to 700 of the 900 unaccompanied youngsters sent to Ellis and Rockwall counties last month are still under federal control. Because Texas law set a three-week limit at those locations, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is moving the migrants to camps in Somervell and McLennan counties. The ongoing influx of minor migrants is requiring more facilities in additional counties — though HHS has not disclosed where. Nor could HHS spokeswoman Andrea Helling provide current head counts. New Obama Executive Action to Shred Immigration Caps. In a proposed federal rule published on New Year's Eve, the president decreed that hundreds of thousands of additional foreign workers will be licensed to replace American workers at lower pay. Congress must act with urgency to stop him. The president's nearly 200-page rule bypasses federal immigration caps, increasing significantly the number of foreign nationals authorized to work in the country above the limits set by Congress. These lower-paid foreign workers will be able to take jobs in technology firms, neighborhood pharmacies, energy companies, local schools, public administration, civil engineering, and innumerable other professions both sought and filled by millions of Americans. Whether young American graduates seeking that first job or longtime workers seeking that well-earned promotion, countless Americans will now find their chosen careers in jeopardy. ICE Conducts Raids on Illegal Families, Apprehends 121 Over Weekend. The Obama administration conducted a series of deportation raids over the weekend, netting 121 illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. as part of the recent surge at the U.S.- Mexico border. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson announced the raids as part of the administration's effort to tamp down on the already ballooning level of illegal migration from Central America at the border. Philadelphia mayor's first act is to rescind cooperation with immigration agency. Philadelphia's new mayor, Jim Kenney, signed an executive order [1/4/2016] only hours after being sworn in that rescinds the city's participation in a controversial program set up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Kenney's order comes only a day after a series of ICE raids across the country that have been condemned by immigration activists. "On his first day in office, newly elected Mayor Kenney reaffirmed that the City of Philadelphia is in fact the City of Brotherly Love," Erika Almiron, director of the Philadelphia-based non-profit Juntos, said in a press release. "As ICE raids sew [sic] new levels of fear in our communities, Mayor Kenney is making sure local officials have nothing to do with it." Obama's Alien Work Permit Jackpot. As thousands of America's best and brightest technology students are being replaced en masse by cheap foreign labor through H-1B and other conduits, the White House continues to push extraordinary administrative measures and executive orders on behalf of the rest of the world's workers. Remember: This open-borders administration employed administrative fiat to open the floodgates for a total of 5.5 million employment documents for illegal alien parents and their children. After lower court judge Andrew Hanen issued his initial injunction last year against the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents program — which granted illegal immigrant parents with children born in the United States the right to remain in the United States and work — Obama bureaucrats defiantly violated it anyway and issued 2,000 more work permits to people here illegally. You Only Think You Know How Many Illegal Immigrants Live in the US. [Scroll down] Three main players were involved in generating that number of 11 million illegal immigrants: Pew Research Center, the Center for Immigration Studies and the Department of Homeland Security. But they were only masseurs of the source data, which comes from the Census Bureau by means of two surveys: the Current Population Survey and the American Community Survey. We need to identify these players. Pew claims impartiality, but the methodologists for its numbers come from decidedly liberal roots such as the Brookings Institution and the Urban Institute. The Center for Immigration Studies approaches the question from the side of more controlled and limited immigration flows. Homeland Security is a bureaucracy with a presidentially appointed secretary who carries out administration policies. The Census Bureau's surveys are conducted both by mail and in-person visits to selected homes. Neither asks directly, "Are you in the United States illegally?" The Dog Ate My Constitution. [Scroll down] Clearly, the first two clauses of the [First A]mendment are the only ones relevant to religion, and neither applies in the immediate instance of Trump's ban on immigration. He did not say he was establishing an official state religion, and he did not say he was banning the practice of the Islamic religion. What he said was that because of the danger to the citizens of the United States from Islamic terrorism, he would not allow immigration by non-citizen Muslims. By long-established precedent, non-citizens who reside outside the country have no right to enter the country, and they have no constitutional rights, period. 15 Stats That Destroy Liberal Narratives. [#13] "As Pew Research cheerfully reports, previous immigrants were 'almost entirely' European. But since Kennedy's immigration act, a majority of immigrants have been from Latin America. One-quarter are from Asia. Only 12 percent of post-1965-act immigrants have been from Europe — and they're probably Muslims. Apparently, the 'American experiment' is actually some kind of sociological trial in which we see if people who have no history of Western government can run a constitutional republic. As of 1970, there were only 9 million Hispanics in the entire country, according to the Pew Research Center. Today, there are well more than 60 million." The Immigration Maelstrom Engulfs America. A new border surge is on us, with illegals pouring in from Central America and well beyond. Yes, it's the work of political forces taking advantage of U.S. weakness. But it has major complicity from the White House. With amnesty, elites conspire against the middle class. It is not a crisis for Americans that other people have come into their country illegally and now find it uncomfortable to be living here breaking the law. It's supposed to be uncomfortable to break the law. Perhaps illegal aliens should have considered that before coming. [...] How did all these illegal aliens get into "the shadows" in the first place? They weren't kidnapped and dragged across the border. They came here. At most — and this is dubious — it's a crisis for the illegal immigrants. But "living in the shadows" is evidently better than living in Guadalajara, otherwise, there's an easy solution. Living in the shadows doesn't seem to be much of a crisis even for them. The sum of all fears. Many Americans are angry that politicians of both parties seem to have placed their careers ahead of their responsibility to take care of the nation. As Ronald Reagan said, we are just one generation away from losing it all. That's because democracy and equal rights are not the norm in the world. They must be fought for and maintained if we wish to pass them on to our descendants. Yes, we want immigrants to come to America, but we want them to come respecting our laws (otherwise what are laws for?), to learn English, our history and values and to become — as earlier immigrants did — fully American without hyphens. Deportations under Obama plummet during second term. For the 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. who otherwise stay out of trouble, the chances of being deported are less than 1 percent, according to new figures released by the Department of Homeland Security. The new figures show a dramatic four-year decline in the number of deportations carried out by the Obama administration, from more than 409,000 in 2012 to just 235,000 in fiscal 2015. The numbers represent the fewest deportations since 2006. Feds Plan Sweep of Undocumented Immigrants Still in US Despite Orders to Leave. Federal immigration authorities are planning a nationwide sweep of undocumented immigrants and families who are still in the United States even after being ordered by a judge to return home, according to U.S. officials. The move — expected to begin next month if top administration officials give final approval — comes in response to a recent uptick in illegal border crossings, the officials said. DHS preparing immigration raids by noting them a month in advance. Almost by definition, a "raid" involves the element of surprise. The idea is to catch one or more people unaware in order to ensure that law enforcement can find them. That may be especially true for potential targets who are well aware of their fraught legal status — such as illegal immigrants who have remained in the US in defiance of court orders for deportation. [...] Besides, enforcement should be ongoing, not something occasionally considered and even more occasionally performed. Lawsuit settlement leads to return of nearly 100 deported Mexicans back to U.S.. Nearly 100 Mexicans have sought to return to the U.S. by Wednesday's deadline under the settlement of a class-action lawsuit that accused federal immigration officials in Southern California of failing to advise people of their rights. Obama's open door: How deportations have plummeted since President's re-election. The Obama administration formally disclosed Tuesday [12/22/2015] that it deported the fewest immigrants since 2006. AZ Sheriff Babeu: We've Had 10,000 Unaccompanied Juveniles In Two Months, Obama Admin Says 'Border Is Wide Open'. Pinal County, AZ Sheriff and Congressional candidate Paul Babeu (R) stated, "just the last two months alone, we've had 10,000 unaccompanied juveniles" who are "staying here" and that "the Obama administration says the border is wide open, that there is no law it comes to immigration" on Monday's [12/21/2015] "Cavuto: Coast to Coast" on the Fox Business Network. Crimmigration as a Non-Priority. [I]f there's one thing that isn't a priority for the "Immigration and Customs Enforcement" agency, it's immigration enforcement. To the point where guys are being threatened with firing for arresting criminal aliens — not mere immigration-law breakers, but serious, violent felons. So what is the priority at ICE, if law enforcement isn't? Unaccompanied children crossing southern border in greater numbers again, raising fears of new migrant crisis. In October and November, more than 10,500 children crossed the U.S.-Mexico border by themselves, the vast majority from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, according to U.S. government data analyzed by the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan think tank. That's a 106 percent increase over the same period last year, reflecting a steady increase that began in March. The numbers are still far below the peak period last year, when more than 10,600 unaccompanied minors crossed the border just in the month of June, swamping federal resources. Illegal minors brag about being freed in U.S., encourage others to come. The Department of Homeland Security has told Congress that for the past six years it has deported just six percent of youths who entered the country illegally, an enormous policy failure that illegal immigrants are seizing on to encourage friends and relatives to raid the border. Getting into the United States is so easy, and staying here a cinch, that illegals are even telling U.S. Border Patrol officials that they know they will be freed and are using social media to send home photos of their "permisos," documents that set them free. Congress Provides $1.6B to Resettle Illegal Immigrants Arriving at Border Through 2018. A massive appropriations bill expected to be approved by Congress would provide more than $1.6 billion to resettle illegal immigrants arriving at the U.S. border through 2018. Congress would award the massive check to the government just as the U.S. is experiencing a surge in arrivals of immigrant children at the southern border. Last week, federal agencies said they were opening two temporary shelters with 1,000 beds in South Texas to cope with the surge. A 400-bed shelter is also to be opened in Southern California. Sen. Jeff Sessions: Omnibus a 'Betrayal', Increases Foreign Workers, Fully Funds Obama Immigration Agenda. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) slammed the immigration implications of the year-end spending bill Wednesday [12/16/2015], saying the omnibus represents a "betrayal" of voters that fully funds President Obama's immigration agenda while also increasing the number of low-skilled foreign guest workers allowed. Yes, We Can Deport 12 Million. The IRS has tyrannical powers that are probably constitutional only because judges depend on the U.S. Treasury to pay their salaries. To encourage the 12 million illegals to go back from where they came, some carrots and sticks would help. Remember, these people are living in a strange country with strange customs and a language they don't understand very well. It can't be that hard to intimidate them. If the IRS feels free to intimidate 200 million taxpayers by outrageous methods why should we be reluctant to use some of the same methods on the illegals? Twenty-Five Years of Helping Foreigners Take American Jobs. Twenty-five years ago, President George H. W. Bush signed into law the Immigration Act of 1990. Instead of reforming the corrosive effects of the Immigration Act of 1965, an act that birthed the mass immigration system we have today, the 1990 act made the situation dramatically worse and make it less likely Americans would fill American jobs. The act raised the annual immigration ceiling from 530,000 to 700,000 (excluding other types of legal entry like refugee admissions) while creating a coterie of new immigrant and guestworker visas, mostly for semi-skilled and unskilled workers. Census: 808,000 children of immigrants eligible to vote EVERY YEAR. The population of children born in the United States to immigrants — making the kids immediate U.S. citizens — has reached 16.7 million, according to the Census Bureau. That is higher than the population of every single state except California, Texas, Florida and New York. Obama's Recipe for Disaster. When millions are here illegally who don't speak English and won't learn, who care nothing about our culture and history and prefer that which they left behind, who gobble up benefits provided by the American taxpayer, who wind up displacing American workers who need jobs, not to mention that every day the news includes more stories about illegal aliens who have murdered, raped, driven drunk and killed innocent Americans and then fill our streets demanding their "rights" — and do so without any fear of being deported by the Obama administration — is it any wonder that Americans feel like they are indeed strangers in their own land? Memo to GOP: Curb Immigration or Quit. The great and broadly-shared middle-class growth that occurred in the 20th century took place during a period of low immigration. Following the 1880-1920 immigration wave, which saw the foreign-born population double from 7 million to 14 million people, Congress passed a law to reduce future immigration. Between 1920 and 1970, America's foreign-born population shrank from 14 million to 9.6 million. For half a century, the number of immigrants declined both in total number and as a share of the population. This period witnessed rapid wage growth. According to the Congressional Research Service, from 1945 to 1970 — as the foreign-born population fell — the bottom 90 percent of wage earners saw an 82.5 percent increase in their wages. During this time, millions of prior immigrants were able to climb out of the tenements and into the middle class. A simple question for all the amnesty proponents. Democrats desire the votes that come with the shift in demographics. Republicans desire the cheap labor. The Democrat reasoning is not new, nor does it warrant much debate. The voting trends are clear. However, the reasoning for the Republicans is grounded in some assumed Chamber of Commerce big-business desires for continued labor cost stagnation. Both positions seem plausible. Yet the great unasked and unanswered question for all those who suggest some amnesty and pathway to citizenship is this. Because there must be a sign-up requirement for any amnesty program participants: What is to be done with those who will not sign up? When the sign-up period is over, when the grace period is lapsed, what then with those illegals? Immigration must benefit the home nation. Among us live anywhere from 12 to 18 million illegal aliens. Many came in a desperate quest to secure freedom or economic gain, others to commit crimes and prey on our fellow citizens, and a few determined to sow destruction and terror in the name of religion or ideology. They were able to walk across a border because the nation's governing class chose to view these masses, not as individuals, but pawns in a crass political game. The Left saw potential votes by making the illegals another dependent class as they had so cynically done with the African-Americans. Many in the Republican Party establishment, at the behest of the business lobby, viewed these same unfortunates as a source of cheap and easily exploited labor. Bowing to the most base of political motives, money and votes, the borders were left open and essentially unsecured. Immigration: The Refugee Scam. If a stranger in need happens by your area and you're a charitable sort, you may take him in for a time, feed him and provide other basic necessities. You don't generally make him an official part of your family and empower him to help decide on finances, what products to buy, how your kids will be educated and what values will prevail within your home. Monstrous Surge of Illegal Immigrants at the Border — 10,000 in September Alone. In September alone, 10,000 illegal immigrants were found at the southern border. And I'm telling you, that number is severely understating it. We are being inundated — invaded. Obama and DHS were putting forth that illegal immigration was way down that it was the lowest since the 1970's. What a monstrous lie. Our country cannot take this influx indefinitely. The rule of law is not only being ignored by Obama, it is beginning to break down. Violence is rising across the nation and becoming much more common place. Rubio: 'I Think the American People Are Going to Be Reasonable' on 11M Illegal Aliens. Asked at Tuesday night's [12/15/2015] debate if he still supports a path to citizenship for illegal aliens, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said yes — but not in so many words. Rubio said the first step is to secure the border; the second step is to "reform and modernize the legal immigration system." Guest Worker Program Expanded Fourfold Under New Provision In Spending Bill. A measure included in the omnibus package would quadruple the H-2B foreign worker program, according to a new report from Numbers USA. Hispanic activists vow to flood voter rolls with 1 million immigrants, punish Trump, GOP at polls. Immigrant rights activists have vowed to sign up 1 million immigrants — mostly Mexicans — for citizenship and then quickly register them to vote in time to punish Donald Trump and his fellow Republicans at the polls in November for their harsh rhetoric. The advocates say the new voters could make a difference in the presidential race, where most of the Republican field has tacked to the right in word and policy, and in key Senate races in Illinois and Florida, where Republicans will be reaching to hang on to critical seats. Federal government cannot afford latest wave of unaccompanied minors, HHS warns. On the heels of reassurances by Texas officials to residents that the federal government will provide the funds and support for the hundreds of unaccompanied minors from Central America who are being sheltered there, Sylvia Burwell, the secretary of Health and Human Services, is warning Congress that her agency faces a budget shortfall and could be overwhelmed by the new influx of children. Sheriff: 'We Are Forced to Accept' Feds Creating 'Small City' of Illegal Aliens in Texas Community. A Texas sheriff expressed concerns that the federal government's plans to bring large numbers of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) from the border to the campsite located southwest of Dallas will become a "small city." The children are illegal immigrants mostly from Central America who have recently crossed the border during the latest surge. Nearly 500 UACs are scheduled to arrive in the next few days at the Lakeview Camp and Retreat Center located near Waxahachie, Texas, a report on Texas Police News states. 400 workers were expected to arrive on Thursday [12/10/2015] and the children are expected to follow along shortly thereafter. Hillary: Illegal immigrant children must be sent home. Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday [11/8/2015] that U.S. should send a clear message that the illegal immigrant children who have been surging across the border will be sent home. Mrs. Clinton, speaking during a town hall hosted by CNN, said the children should receive the best possible medical care, but should be return to their home countries if their relatives can be located. Obama is an Authoritarian. On Wednesday night's radio program, Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin addressed the "conservative" media's outrage over Donald Trump's proposal to halt all Muslim immigration to the United States. He focused on the naming of Donald Trump as a Fascist by conservatives who have never thought to call the authoritarian Barack Obama by similar names. Levin focused on the fact that it is Barack Obama that has been a very successful authoritarian president who has achieved much of what he set out to do. This includes turning American against American, and instilling open borders. Emergency measures imposed as border surge surprises, overwhelms immigration officials. The surge of illegal immigrant children continued unabated in November, pushing the Obama administration to announce emergency measures to try to handle a problem it thought it had solved earlier this year. Two months into the new fiscal year, the number of unaccompanied minors jumping the border and getting caught is at an all-time high. So far, the U.S. Border Patrol has picked up over 10,500 — more than twice the number at the same point last year. The number of families trying to cross also has surged, with more than 12,500 people caught — a 173 percent increase over last year. America's Toxic Brew: "Diversity". "Political correctness" is of course the left's method of shutting down the opposition. It has led to such ridiculous terms as "undocumented worker". Undocumented? It's as if some heartless bureaucrat forgot to process Juan's immigration papers, rather than the fact that Juan criminally crashed our border without authorization and is hence, an illegal alien. The accurate term "illegal alien" is of course enough to induce hysterics among the politically correct. It is this same PC left who would much rather engage in name calling than discussing actual facts. Their shut-down-the-argument technique always includes hurling such meaningless labels as "hater", "homophobe", islamophobe", "denier", "xenophobe" and so on. Republican Capitulation Feeds Barack Obama's Tyranny. When Barack Obama announced his plan Thursday night to mainstream millions of illegal immigrants with an executive order allowing them to remain in the United States without facing deportation he not only created a precedent, but a law in itself. In true dictatorial fashion, Obama laid out his decree by justifying his order in wake of the "failure" of the legislative process to pass immigration reform. [...] Obama's argument essentially rests upon his well-founded belief that Congress will be unwilling to use its command over the treasury to coerce him into heeding the limits of his power. Just Like the Pilgrims, if the Pilgrims Had Suicide Belts. Obama recently decided to effectively suspend enforcement of immigration law and unilaterally legalize huge numbers of illegal aliens. [...] Of course immigration policy precisely discriminates against immigrants based on their country of origin or religious affiliation, since the latter is used to determine quotas, while the former is used to verify claims of religious persecution. Obama is claiming that the Civil Rights Act applies to immigration policy at the State level, but not the Federal level. This is a new level of lawlessness even for Obama. One More Destructive Thing Obama Is Determined To Do Before He Leaves Office. President Barack Obama is determined to exert king-like power and create laws to reward foreigners who've entered and/or remained in the United States illegally, despite his role as executor of laws. Earlier this month, a federal judge upheld an injunction against his plan to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens through executive order. A coalition of 26 states moved to stop the president from ignoring our checks-and-balances system. But he's trying to push through a policy that's both unfair and harmful to American citizens. Americans Agree With Trump: The Illegal Immigrants Must Go. Most Americans agree with Donald Trump — the illegal aliens have to go. Head 'em up, move 'em out. A new Fox News poll shows 52 percent of the nation favors deporting the millions of illegals back to their home countries. Republicans and Democrats support Mr. Trump's plan. But the numbers among Republicans are astronomical. Seventy percent agree with Mr. Trump — a super-majority. So why does the Republican establishment continue to support pro-amnesty candidates? Obama administration released illegal immigrant children to criminals' homes. The Obama administration released thousands of illegal immigrant children to sponsors with criminal records, including arrests on charges of child molestation, human trafficking and homicide, a top senator charged Tuesday [11/24/2015]. If true, it would be a stunning black mark on President Obama's immigration record, according to analysts, who said the first job of the government was to protect the children from dangerous situations — and it apparently failed. DHS Knew Illegal Aliens Falsely Claimed "Credible Fear" to Stay in U.S.. The Obama administration let hundreds of illegal immigrants stay in the U.S. even though federal authorities knew in advance that an open borders group coached them to falsely claim "credible fear" to get asylum, according to documents obtained by Judicial Watch from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The operation was part of a scam conducted by an immigrant rights organization called the National Immigrant Youth Alliance (NITA), which in recent years has coordinated demonstrations along the Southwest border in Texas and Arizona. In mid-2014 the group orchestrated a racket seeking to bring 250 illegal aliens into the U.S. through the Otay Mesa Port of Entry in San Diego, California. To assure the migrants were allowed to stay in the U.S., the group had them falsely claim that they had a "credible fear" of returning to their native country. Clinton says her use of term 'illegal immigrant' was a 'poor choice of words'. Hillary Clinton said Tuesday [11/24/2015] that her use of the term "illegal immigrant" at a town hall in New Hampshire earlier this month was a "poor choice of words." "That was a poor choice of words," Clinton wrote during a Facebook chat. "As I've said throughout this campaign, the people at the heart of this issue are children, parents, families, DREAMers. They have names, and hopes and dreams that deserve to be respected." Amnesty's end run: What rule of law? Months after a federal judge put the kibosh on President Obama's executive amnesty for at least 5 million illegal aliens, the administration planned to circumvent the court by providing work permits to millions of aliens, legal and illegal, according to a leaked memo. Now Republican senators want answers from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson. Illegal immigrant children, non-Mexicans surge across border at record rate. The Southwest border has broken open in recent weeks, with non-Mexicans — and illegal immigrant children in particular — crossing at a record rate in October, according to Border Patrol statistics that suggest the administration's victory lap earlier this year was premature. Nearly 5,000 unaccompanied children were caught in October, and nearly 3,000 more had been caught in the first half of November — a record pace for those months — and it signals just how closely smuggling cartels and would-be illegal immigrants themselves are paying attention to lax enforcement in the U.S. Secretary Jeh Johnson, DAPA, and The Case For Impeachment. [Scroll down slowly] In our opinion the White House never intended to win the underlying case. The executive action was clearly unconstitutional as it created an entirely new status of personage: "An Illegal but lawful resident", complete with employment eligibility. If President Obama believed he was just using prosecutorial discretion in non-deportation he could do nothing. He doesn't deport them, and 5+ million (who qualify under DAPA) stay put without change. Taking no executive action is the same thing as not deporting; but that's not what he did — he created an executive action to make those illegal aliens "lawful residents". [...] Obama never planned to win the case; he planned to lose the case but in the interim have carried out the action that is irreversible. It would be impossible to make 5 million people unlawful once their new lawful status was achieved. This was/is the goal all along. Obama actions shield most illegals from deportation even as courts stall amnesty. President Obama's marquee deportation amnesty has been stalled by the courts, but the rest of his executive actions on immigration, announced exactly a year ago, are moving forward — including his move protecting more than 80 percent of illegal immigrants from any danger of deportation. The amnesty, dubbed Deferred Action for Parental Accountability was supposed to grant full tentative legal status — including work permits, Social Security numbers and driver's licenses — to more than 4 million illegal immigrants. It has been halted by a federal appeals court, and its fate will soon rest with the Supreme Court. Obama administration asks Supreme Court to approve executive amnesty. The Justice Department has asked the Supreme Court to reinstate President Obama's deportation amnesty, filing papers Friday [11/20/2015] appealing a federal appeals court's decision blocking the amnesty exactly a year after the program was first announced. Administration officials hope to get the case on the high court's calendar for this term, which ends in June. Otherwise the case would have to wait to be heard until October 2016, at the earliest, which would mean a decision likely wouldn't come until after Mr. Obama leaves office and a new president has a chance to undo his moves. Study: More Mexicans leaving the US than coming in. More Mexicans are leaving than coming to the U.S. as families reunify, are forced to reunify and for other reasons, the Pew Research Center says today in a new report. Three years ago, Pew reported zero net migration, after an extraordinary exodus from Mexico that reshaped great portions of the U.S., especially Texas and California. Today, Pew reports there's a net loss of 140,000. Obama actions shield most illegals from deportation even as courts stall amnesty. President Obama's marquee deportation amnesty has been stalled by the courts, but the rest of his executive actions on immigration, announced exactly a year ago, are moving forward — including his move protecting more than 80 percent of illegal immigrants from any danger of deportation.

In her book, Refugee Resettlement and the Hijra to America, Ann Corcoran explains that "Refugee resettlement has become a major money-maker for what can only be described as the 'Religious Left,' whose goal is to change the demographic make-up of the 180-plus cities and towns in which they presently work." Corcorans' statement perfectly describes exactly what is happening as push for more and more refugees comes solely from the Left. Whether it be Mayors, Senators, or Representatives in the House, they're all seeking to change the demographic make-up of the United States by forcing the taxpayers to subsidize their own destruction. Cruz Opposes Amnesty, Rubio Supported It, and Rubio Fails to See the Difference. To be a good legislator and to move public opinion on important issues, a senator sometimes must make proposals that, taken out of context, can distort the senator's overarching position, creating the illusion that he favors what he clearly opposes, and vice versa. No one should know this better than Senator Marco Rubio. Yet Rubio, a major culprit when it comes to foolish immigration policy, is now straining to defend his walk on the wild side by misrepresenting the record of his rival, Senator Ted Cruz. Why Obama's immigration plans are still unconstitutional. President Obama has a penchant for presidential power plays. He has been following his own playbook since January 2014 when he declared: "I've got a pen, and I've got a phone" — his promise to do all that he could to bypass Congress — relying on Executive Orders and actions instead of legislation. Now, a federal appeals court has struck a critical blow against his strategy to unilaterally "change" the nation's immigration laws. Monday [11/9/2015], a majority of a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit rejected the president's unprecedented and unlawful power-grab. The Fifth Circuit ruled that President Obama's executive overreach that unilaterally rewrote the law without congressional consent is unconstitutional, unlawful, and violates the separation of powers. Immigration, President Obama and the rule of law. Earlier this week, a federal appeals court in New Orleans upheld an injunction issued by a federal district court in Texas against the federal government, thereby preventing it from implementing President Barack Obama's executive orders on immigration. Critics had argued and two federal courts have now agreed that the orders effectively circumvented federal law and were essentially unconstitutional. Though the injunction on its face restrains officials in the Department of Homeland Security, it is really a restraint on the president himself. Immigration Sanctuary Ban Creates Uncertainty in North Carolina. A day after Gov. Pat McCrory signed a bill prohibiting so-called sanctuary city policies in North Carolina, Jose Lopez, the police chief in Durham, was assessing the effect it would have on this city, where, for the last dozen years, police officers have been instructed to limit inquiries about a person's immigration status. In order for Durham to comply with the new law, Chief Lopez said, the local rule would have to come off the books. Although he said he would still recommend that his officers refrain from poking their noses into immigration matters, he predicted that rumors would spread among undocumented immigrants that it was no longer safe to cooperate with the Durham police. Communication breakdown: NM officials in the dark about ICE deportation program. The federal government's one-year-old plan to work with local law enforcement to deport violent illegal aliens nabbed by police and held in lockups is news to jail officials in one key border state, according to one top administrator, who said his colleagues in New Mexico only know what reporters have told them. Oct. Jobs: Immigrants Gain Jobs At 2.5 Times Americans' Rate. [Scroll down] If these numbers do not look familiar, it is because the Main Stream Media ignore them. The MSM folks focus on the Payroll Employment Survey, which does not collect information on the nativity of workers — perhaps because companies do not ask, and do not want to know. Many feign ignorance on the number of illegal aliens in their employ. Presidential Lawlessness Blocked — for Now. The president's Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) is the most extraordinary display of presidential lawlessness in recent memory. On Monday [11/9/2015], the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals rightly blocked that lawlessness from proceeding further. Obama administration to seek Supreme Court involvement in immigration case. The Obama administration said Tuesday [11/10/2015] it would ask the Supreme Court to rule next year on the president's plan to allow millions of undocumented immigrants to remain and work in the United States without fear of deportation, a ruling that could inflame the political debate in the 2016 presidential election. After a series of recent setbacks for Obama in court, there is a new urgency among White House officials and advocates to start enrolling immigrants before the president leaves office in January 2017. Another legal loss for Obama's executive actions on immigration. A federal appeals court panel prohibited President Obama Monday [11/9/2015] from proceeding with his executive attempt to block deportation of some five million illegal immigrants and grant them work permits. In a 2-1 decision the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, in New Orleans, upheld a March injunction by a Texas federal judge barring the Obama administration from proceeding with its own controversial immigration measures. Large Companies Game H-1B Visa Program, and Jobs Leave the U.S.. Congress set up the H-1B program to help American companies hire foreigners with exceptional skills, to fill open jobs and to help their businesses grow. But the program has been failing many American employers who cannot get visas for foreigners with the special skills they need. Instead, the outsourcing firms are increasingly dominating the program, federal records show. In recent years, they have obtained many thousands of the visas — which are limited to 85,000 a year — by learning to game the H-1B system without breaking the rules, researchers and lawyers said. What Happens Now That the Obama Administration Has Lost Its Immigration Case. An appeals courts has blocked President Obama from protecting an estimated 5 million undocumented immigrants currently in the United States illegally but who are otherwise law-abiding. The appeals court on Monday night struck down instructions from the Obama administration to concentrate deportation activities on criminals, while allowing those brought to the U.S. as children and undocumented immigrants with U.S. citizen parents and no criminal history to remain in the country without fear of deportation and the ability to work. Sources: Vocal supporter of sanctuary cities on short list to be next head of Border Patrol. A former San Francisco police chief and vocal supporter of a sanctuary cities policy is on a short list of candidates to become the new chief of the Border Patrol, according to sources. As police chief, Heather Fong shielded illegal immigrants, including aliens who committed crimes, from deportation. In contrast, it is the job of the U.S. Border Patrol to catch and deport all illegal immigrants, including those with a criminal history. Appeals court upholds injunction against Obama immigration plan. A federal appeals court has upheld an injunction blocking President Barack Obama's executive action to shield about 5 million immigrants from deportation and provide them with work permits. Appeals court rules against Obama immigration plan. President Obama's executive action preventing the deportation of an estimated 5 million people living in the United States illegally suffered another setback Monday [11/9/2015] after a federal appeals court upheld a federal judge's injunction blocking the measure. The 2-1 decision by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans further dims the prospect of implementation of the executive action before Obama leaves office in 2017. Appeals over the injunction could take months and, depending on how the case unfolds, it could go back to the Texas federal court for more proceedings. Appeals court rejects Obama plan to shield five million illegals from deportation. President Obama's effort to grant up to 5 million illegal immigrants work permits and amnesty from deportation suffered a major blow late Monday [11/9/2015] when a federal appeals court ruled it was likely illegal, in yet another move by the courts to set limits on this White House's efforts to stretch presidential powers. The 2-1 decision by the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, sitting in New Orleans, instantly forces the issue to the fore of the presidential campaigns, where all three top Democratic candidates had insisted Mr. Obama's actions were not only legal, but vowed to go beyond them and try to expand the amnesty to still more illegal immigrants. Feds' 'Welcome' Guide for New Immigrants Advises on Public Benefits — in 14 Different Languages. The Obama administration has released an updated welcome guide for new immigrants in the U.S. featuring detailed sections about obtaining public benefits including food stamps, welfare, and Obamacare. "You or members of your family may be eligible for other federal benefits, depending on your immigration status, length of time in the United States, and income level," the guidebook reads. The Causes of Income Inequality. Income inequality has risen during the last several decades to heights last seen in the 1920s. [...] The federal government encourages the massive illegal and legal immigration that plays a huge role in job scarcity and income suppression for American workers. To paraphrase Milton Friedman, a viable economy cannot exist with open borders and unrestricted immigration. An oversupply of workers willing to work for less pay, the outsourcing of jobs, and visa-immigrant hiring allow companies to replace American workers with immigrants for reduced labor and benefit costs. A well-known example is that of Disney IT workers who were forced to train their cheaper immigrant replacements. It is no coincidence that the rise in immigration has occurred simultaneously with the rise of the welfare state. People unemployed, or in low-wage and part-time jobs, rely on government subsidies. The result is larger national debt, more corporate wealth, and declining wages. The Terms "Illegal Alien" and "Political Correctness" Are Now Thought Crimes. As described in the oligarchical collectivist instruction manual 1984, by curtailing language, our rulers can curtail our thoughts. This tactic is useful because it is difficult to resist something you cannot name. So that we do not put up a fight against the unlawful displacement of the American population by illegal aliens, the term "illegal aliens" may soon be forbidden: Burrito shop Illegal Pete's once again under fire from Latino groups for controversial name. As a controversial Mexican restaurant chain is in the midst of opening a new location in Arizona, it is once again under fire for its name — Illegal Pete's. Students at the University of Arizona's Hispanic student organization M.E.Ch.A. have sent a letter to the owner of Illegal Pete's, asking the Colorado businessman to change to the name of his restaurant because they say it offends Hispanics. "We are not like other communities where your business exists, and we are more than willing to show you that," the group wrote, according to the Arizona Daily Star. "We are here to tell you that no longer will you be able to claim blissful ignorance and profit from racism." The Editor says... U.S. Seals Another Deal to Protect Illegal Aliens' "Workplace Rights". [U]nder Obama's first Labor Secretary, former California Congresswoman and influential La Raza figure Hilda Solis, the DOL signed a number of these "partnership agreements" vowing to protect illegal aliens working in the U.S. Solis even created a special division at the DOL to enforce labor and wage laws in industries that typically hire illegal aliens without reporting anyone to federal immigration authorities. Protecting the workplace rights of "vulnerable" migrants was a big priority at the agency under her leadership. During a ceremony to celebrate pacts with several foreign countries Solis said that "migrant workers make important contributions to our economy," and that the deals will "help ensure these workers are aware of the right to safe workplaces and to receive full payment of the wages owed to them under the laws of the United States." The effort continues and has carried over to other government entities such as the EEOC, an out-of-control agency which is always on the prowl for discrimination even when it's not there. Illegal Aliens Trot Out Their "Bill Of Rights". Instead of being humble and telling us how much they want to be part of this great nation, they make more demands. Illegals Lobby Goes Off Deep End, Handing Out Reasons To Vote For Trump. If the open borders lobby had wanted to funnel support to Donald Trump, it couldn't have done better than its latest stunts: A video of raging, foul-mouthed anchor babies and an illegal-alien "bill of rights." In less than a week, immigration advocates have managed to decisively if inadvertently make a case against illegal immigration just by showing the public what it's all about. Illegal immigrants release 'Bill of Rights'. An immigrant-rights group proposed a "Bill of Rights" for illegal immigrants Thursday [11/5/2015], demanding that Americans recognize there are millions already in the country who deserve health care, in-state tuition rates for college and a guarantee of citizenship in the long term. The list of demands runs 10 items long — the same as the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights — and also calls for an end to arrests and deportations for "all law-abiding undocumented Americans." The Editor says... Texas Governor Strips State Grant Funding from Sanctuary City Sheriffs. Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced a new plan to strip state grant funding from county sheriff's with a Sanctuary City policy of not honoring ICE detainers. The move follows Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez's order that criminal illegal aliens in her jail will be evaluated on a case by case basis to determine if ICE detainers will be enforced. Illegal Alien Activists, Astroturfers, and YouTube Censoring American Majority. By now most people are aware of the vile video produced and promoted by those who advocate for increasing illegal immigration. (WARNING: Extremely Foul Language) However, the resulting feedback is apparently not exactly what the leftists had in mind. There has been a massive backlash against these moonbat activists. In order to control the narrative (and eliminate visibility of the backlash) it appears YouTube and the leftist activist group DeportRacism are deleting negative feedback and have now been caught manipulating the Like/Dislike rating tool. Ted Cruz illegal immigration crackdown blocked by Democratic leader Reid. Senate Democrats rejected an effort to push back against sanctuary cities Wednesday, denying a request by Republican presidential hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz to immediately begin debating a bill to impose mandatory minimum federal sentences on repeat-illegal immigrants. Just a day after the "sanctuary sheriff" in San Francisco, Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, lost his bid for re-election in large part due to his stance on the issue, Mr. Cruz tried to force the debate onto the national level. Obama's Secret Destruction of Our Immigration System. [Scroll down] If these initiatives are successful, the impact on American workers would border on catastrophic, especially for college graduates. American universities churn out approximately 800,000 graduates per year with degrees in medicine and business, as well as science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). These graduates are already having trouble finding jobs in their respective fields, and Obama's agenda would add the insult to injury, forcing them to compete with foreign workers willing to accept lower wages. Feds: 81,038 Unaccompanied Illegal Alien Children Placed In All 50 States, D.C. in Last Two Years. The federal Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) has released data updated as of Nov. 2 that show in the last two years 81,038 illegal alien minors who entered the U.S. without a parent or guardian were subsequently placed with adult sponsors in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. According to the "Unaccompanied Children Released to Sponsors By State" statistics and confirmed by a spokesman for the Administration for Children and Families — which operates ORR — 27,520 unaccompanied illegal alien minors have been released to sponsors around the United States in fiscal year 2015 (October 2014 to September 2015). This is in addition to the 53,518 children released into the United States in fiscal year 2014 (October 2013 to September 2014). The Oath of Allegiance to the United States of America. In July, 2015, President Barack Obama stripped out the requirement for individuals becoming naturalized citizens to defend the United States through military service. On September 16[,] 2015 President Obama said in a video aimed at convincing migrants to pursue American citizenship that they didn't need to assimilate. [Obama quote deleted.] There's another new turn of phrase designed to hide or soften what he is doing. "Nine million resident migrants" — think about that for a moment. We wouldn't want you to get all serious about an oath, or make you uncomfortable. There's one graduate of Harvard Law School who apparently never really learned anything about the Constitution at all. Obama Has Politicized Everything To Do With Immigration, Now It's Foreign STEM Graduates. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is expanding a program that allows foreign students with degrees in science, technology, engineering or mathematics (STEM) to extend their stay in the U.S to work after graduation. Since, unlike native Americans, they are still defined as "students" they are not required to pay social security and Medicare taxes. The bonus given to employers for hiring a foreign STEM graduate will increase from $10,000 to $12,000. So an employer is more apt to hire a foreign graduate to work in their field of study, than to hire a new American STEM graduate. I'm Listing the 18 Mayors That Told Obama They Want To Take In Syrian Refugees So People Will Know Who To Tar and Feather. Here are 18 mayors that signed a letter letting Obama know that that they have the welcome mat out for Syrian refugees. (Most are not from Syria.) Mayors Of Eighteen U.S. Cities Tell Obama They Are Ready To Take More Syrian Refugees. Mayors from eighteen U.S. cities signed a letter to President Obama saying they are willing to take even more refugees than what has been proposed by the administration. "We will welcome the Syrian families to make homes and new lives in our cities," wrote the mayors, all of whom are part of the Cities United for Immigration Action coalition. Leaked DHS memo shows Obama might circumvent DAPA injunction. A newly leaked internal DHS memorandum produced for an off-the-record agency conclave reveals that the Obama administration is actively planning to circumvent a federal court injunction that suspended part of last November's deferral-based amnesty initiative. The document, apparently prepared as follow-up from a DHS "Regulations Retreat" last summer, appears sure to re-ignite concerns in Congress as well as federal judges in the Fifth Circuit. The 7 Keys To Trapping As Many Americans As Possible In Poverty. You want to make as many Americans poor as possible? Then start by... [#6] Having Massive Immigration: Supply and demand is the simplest law of economics. How does that help make Americans poor? Well, the more replaceable any worker is, the less money you need to pay him. Why pay an engineer a decent salary if you can easily replace him with an H-1B visa worker from India or China who'll work for $30,000 less per year? Illegals Cost North Carolina Taxpayers $2 Billion a Year. Earlier this month, I reported that illegals cost Ohio taxpayers nearly $900 million a year, and those figures were based on numbers from a couple years ago meaning the figure is higher now. In 2010, it was estimated that there were at least 110,000 illegals living in Ohio. Five years later that figure has surely increased as the Obama administration continues to welcome future Democratic illegal voters. Safety concerns prompt Border Patrol to pull out of college job fair amid protests. The Border Patrol is looking for a few good men and women — but not angry confrontation, and that concern is what prompted the agency to back out of a college job fair. Accusing the federal agency charged with protecting U.S. borders of "unjust killings, ... racial profiling, use of force, and unjust violence," protesters at University of California-Irvine succeeded in stopping the Border Patrol from taking part in an Oct. 22 career fair — and blocked students from learning more about a possible job opportunity. Obama's Immigration Agency Now 'Welcoming All Residents'. The Obama administration's efforts to transform the nation's electorate through immigration is running at full speed. White House employees have been sent to the Department of Homeland Security to accelerate President Obama's efforts to integrate foreigners into the American political landscape as quickly as possible — preferably by November 2016. Sanctuary Cities Will 'No Longer Be Tolerated' in Texas, Says Governor Abbott. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has vowed to put an end to "sanctuary cities" for illegal aliens in his state. Abbott made a statement in response to Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez stating that she would consider honoring immigrant detainers on a "case by case" basis. DHS Incentivizes Employers to Hire Alien College Grads Over Native Grads. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is expanding a program that awards businesses bonuses when they hire alien college graduates over native-born graduates, according to an analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies. The optional practical training program (OPT) awards alien college graduates a work permit to stay in the United States for 12 months. If these graduates have majored in science, technology, engineering, or math, also known as STEM fields, the graduates get an additional 17 months of work. This means alien college graduates who graduated in STEM fields would be able to stay in the United States for a total of 29 months. Feds dangle $12,000 bonus to firms that hire foreign students. The Department of Homeland Security is readying a plan to expand a program that pays U.S. employers to hire foreign STEM students taught in America, a move that could end up punishing American college grads and even the elderly, according to an immigration think tank. In pushing to allow more foreign students into the so-called "optional practical training program," DHS said that it will help businesses and colleges by keeping those foreign students in the U.S. following their American-taught science, technology, engineering, and math, or STEM, curriculum. Federal Government Bribes Employers to Hire Foreigners Instead of Americans. The idea is to make sure foreigners stay after entering the country on temporary visas, as part of the systematic displacement of the American population. That's how the bureaurats in the Department of Homeland Security keep themselves occupied in Orwellian America. What did you think they were going to do, keep the homeland secure? Surge of illegal children, families accelerates. The surge of children and families crossing the southwest border illegally accelerated again in September, leaving fiscal year 2015 the second-worst on record, according to numbers released Wednesday by the Border Patrol. Agents caught 4,476 children traveling without parents on the border last month and 5,273 parents and children traveling as families — both of those nearly twice the level of September 2014, suggesting that smugglers have once again stepped up their efforts to entice Central Americans to make the crossing. Senator Warns: "Great Danger" of Mass Amnesty Invasion in 2017 by the Beltway Uniparty Traitors. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is echoing the concerns of other prominent conservatives that the events unfolding now in Washington could lead to mass amnesty in 2017. "The word is... that 2017 is the year to watch for immigration," radio host Laura Ingraham asked Sessions. "What are the chances... that if Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is Speaker and Hillary Clinton is President of the United States, or Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is President of the United States that they would move in the first 100 days to push a massive, similar [to the 'Gang of Eight'] immigration reform bill?" Sessions replied, "I think there's a great danger that that would happen." Migrants from Terrorist Nations in Texas ICE Center Seeking Asylum. The Obama administration insists the southern border is secure, yet dozens of illegal aliens from terrorist nations entered the United States through Mexico and are being held in a Texas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) processing center. The detainees are nationals of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh and they are seeking asylum in the U.S. This week the 54 migrants from terrorist nations started a hunger strike to protest their detention at an ICE facility in El Paso. What happened to the president's immigration programs? Demonstrators are fasting this week in front of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit in New Orleans, protesting a suit brought by 26 states that seeks an end to the temporary protection from deportation granted to immigrants by executive action. A panel of three appeals court judges heard arguments July 10 but has delayed ruling nearly a month beyond its self-imposed 60-day deadline. Sedgwick County Chairman Richard Ranzau target of recall push by immigration group. The Immigration Advocacy Network announced Monday [10/19/2015] it will seek to recall Sedgwick County Commission Chair Richard Ranzau. "Mr. Ranzau has failed in providing and protecting the health and welfare of Sedgwick County citizens who he was elected to protect," Sandrine Lisk, director of advocacy for the group, said in describing the legal justification for the petition. [...] Lisk said the potential recall is a direct backlash to Ranzau's view that illegal immigrants shouldn't benefit from the federal Women, Infants and Children program. The Editor says... Obama: Nihilist or Just Incompetent? [Scroll down] Otherwise, the Obama record is mostly disasters. He promised over 20 times not to act unconstitutionally and issue blanket amnesties. Then he destroyed the idea of a border, both physically and ideologically — and taught the Democratic Party that the salvation for its otherwise unpopular agenda was demographic, as in welcoming in millions of illegal aliens who would form a new constituency for statism. To restore a shred of border security will incur institutionalized charges of racist, nativist, and xenophobe. The only brake on immigration will be bewildered Latino activists who fear that vast increases in illegal Asian immigration will trump their own paradigm, and thus they will call for some sort of immigration enforcement. Obama has left us with an existential question: if there are no borders and no immigration laws, at what point does illegal immigration cease? What ever happened to Obama's sweeping executive actions on immigration? Nearly a year ago, President Obama announced a sweeping plan to shield millions of illegal immigrants from deportation, arguing that a mass exodus of undocumented migrants "would be both impossible and contrary to our character." [...] Activists nationwide have mobilized to help immigrants apply for relief. Yet Obama's plan has gone — and may be going — nowhere. That's because it remains in legal limbo, sitting in a New Orleans federal appeals court that heard arguments in July but has yet to issue a decision. Discerning fact from fiction in the Texas immigrant birth certificate situation. The Internet went abuzz Friday [10/16/2015] after a federal judge in Texas decided not to issue an emergency order requiring the state to accept a particular form of ID from illegal immigrants so they can get birth certificates for their U.S.-born kids. Judge: No Birth Certificates to Immigrant Kids Born in Texas. A federal judge has chosen for now not to force Texas health officials to change their stance in denying birth certificates to immigrant families with U.S- born children, saying that the families raised "grave concerns" but more evidence is needed, according to a ruling issued Friday [10/16/2015]. Tens of thousands of illegal alien minors still waiting to be deported. Tens of thousands of illegal alien minors who crossed the border in the last two years have still not had their cases adjudicated by immigration courts and are still in the United States, attending school and receiving other benefits. Nearly 40% of the illegals have not shown up for their court dates so far. Illegal Immigration is a Mega Issue. Just when the big media gods were ready to drive a spike through Donald Trump for putting truth to power, an illegal alien murdered Kathy Steinle in San Francisco a sanctuary city, but because the weapon used was a stolen, federally owned firearm the media couldn't effectively run from the story. Illegal immigration vaulted into the public eye and America's election cycle; where it will remain a mega issue until election day. After the Steinle murder America witnessed another illegal alien attack this time a sleeping 64-year-old Santa Maria California resident killed by an illegal alien. US government deports fewest immigrants in nearly a decade. The Obama administration deported fewer immigrants over the past 12 months than at any time since 2006, according to internal figures obtained by The Associated Press as Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton called Obama's deportation policies too harsh. How A 1965 Immigration Law Changed America And The World. Fifty years ago on Oct. 3, 1965, the most liberal immigration law in the world — the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) — was signed by President Johnson under the Statue of Liberty. It was the last of the major Great Society laws to be passed during the emerging civil rights era. It became Sen. Ted Kennedy's lifetime legislative legacy. It truly changed the face of America. It has had a huge impact as well as on immigration laws throughout the Western world. Its many unintended consequences can be seen today in the heart-wrenching, chaotic immigration crisis in Europe and on our southern border. Illegal Immigrants Could Elect Hillary. Illegal immigrants — along with other noncitizens without the right to vote — may pick the 2016 presidential winner. Thanks to the unique math undergirding the Electoral College, the mere presence of 11-12 million illegal immigrants and other noncitizens here legally may enable them to swing the election from Republicans to Democrats. The right to vote is intended to be a singular privilege of citizenship. [...] No, Illegal Immigrants Won't Elect Hillary. (A rebuttal of the article immediately above.) The War on America Turns 50. [I]n 1965 — 50 years ago this week — Sen. Ted Kennedy passed an immigration law that has brought 59 million foreigners to our shores, who happen to vote 8-2 for the Democrats. Democrats haven't won any arguments; they changed the voters. [...] Republicans should be sweeping the country, but they aren't, because of Kennedy's immigration law. Without post-1965 immigrants bloc-voting for the Democrats, Obama never would have been elected president, and Romney would have won a bigger landslide against him in 2012 than Reagan did against Carter in 1980. This isn't a guess; it's a provable fact. The Plot To Use Illegal Aliens To Bail Out ObamaCare. In the wake of last week's papal visit, Rep. Luis Gutierrez wants to extend the Affordable Care Act to 11 million illegal aliens. It's nothing but a taxpayer-financed rescue for the increasingly unsustainable program. The Illinois Democrat is known as a left-wing extremist who'd do anything to succor illegal aliens. So the "Exchange Inclusion for a Healthy America Act of 2015" that he introduced Wednesday to extend ObamaCare to 11 million illegal immigrants will be dismissed as a nonstarter. After all, when asked in 2012 whether illegals would have access to the new health care system that he was selling, the president explicitly promised, "Those individuals will not be covered." Nor should they. Rep. Gutiérrez Introduces Bill to Open ObamaCare to Illegal Immigrants. Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL) says illegal immigrants should not be barred from Obamacare. Gutiérrez says access to Obamacare is a moral imperative for all, regardless of legal status. He's introduced legislation that would expand access to President Obama's signature healthcare law to illegal immigrants. Democrat pushes ObamaCare coverage for all immigrants. Congress's most vocal immigration reformer introduced legislation Wednesday [9/30/2015] that would extend ObamaCare to the millions of people who are in the country illegally. Rep. Luis Gutiérrez said his bill serves both a moral and economic purpose. Invoking the recent visit of Pope Francis, the Illinois Democrat said expanding the law's health benefits would help the nation's most vulnerable. The Editor says... Mexican Kids Spend More Time in Front of Small Screens than at School. Mexican youngsters spend more time in front of small screens, whether television, computers or tablets with Internet, than at school, according to a study by the Audience Council of the civil association A Favor de lo Mejor (All for the Best). "The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OCDE, says that children spend 580 hours a year at school, while our records show they spend 1,580 hours watching television," almost triple the time, Gabriela Delgado, the association's director of communications, told EFE. According to the report entitled "For the Rights of the Juvenile Audience," children 6 to 12 years of age watch television on an average of 4 hours and 34 minutes a day, besides spending an average of 45 minutes connected to the Internet and 1 hour playing video games. Cut Foreign Aid for Immigration? Illegal immigrants should neither stay nor be encouraged to come. To reward illegal immigration makes a mockery of the legal process, and disadvantages those who play by the rules. It also makes impossible any well-planned immigration and absorption process. Both in and on the way to the United States, women and children have been victimized and preyed upon. Hundreds have perished, if not more. The situation in Europe may be even worse. Obama Throws Christian Refugees to the Lions. The fate of those Iraqi Christians who had fled from the Islamic State only to be incarcerated in the United States has finally been decided by the Obama administration: they are to be thrown back to the lions, where they will likely be persecuted if not slaughtered like so many Iraqi Christians before them. Fifteen of the 27 Iraqi Christians, who have been held at a detention center in Otay Mesa, California, for approximately six months, are set to be deported in the coming weeks. Some have already been deported and others are being charged with immigration fraud. Pope Francis and Marco Rubio Urge Erasing U.S. Borders. Pope Francis is urging America to throw open her borders to thousands of impoverished migrants, in part to atone for the "sins" of the colonial era. A Nation's Demise by its Own Design. We are a loving nation, open armed and understanding. But, as the inflow of foreigners entering our country threatens to accelerate and as our schools become less American, the teaching of American History is hitting new lows. With the loss of our history is the loss of national identity. With this unchecked inflow, and the lack of teaching of our history, we decline. Yet we allow it. Marco Rubio Still Promoting Welfare And Full Citizenship For Illegal Aliens. As record numbers of Muslim migrants enter the United States, and as a surge of Central Americans swamps our southern border, GOP presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is using his presidential campaign to promote citizenship for those who come here illegally and take American jobs, benefits and residency. Marco Rubio Promotes Welfare And Citizenship For Illegals In Middle of America's Immigration Crisis. As record numbers of Muslim migrants enter the United States, and as a surge of Central Americans swamps our southern border, GOP presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) is using his presidential campaign to promote citizenship for those who come here illegally and take American jobs, benefits and residency.
Another Cynical Democratic "Citizenship USA" Voter Drive. There's only one time when you can depend on the chronically backlogged, recklessly inefficient Department of Homeland Security to perform smoothly: election season. While hundreds of thousands of visa overstayers and deportation fugitives remain on the loose, federal bureaucrats at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) are hastily recruiting tens of thousands of foreigners for the Obama administration's new "U.S. citizenship and immigrant civic integration" campaign. For the past week, the agency has staged more than 200 naturalization ceremonies for more than 36,000 new citizens. Newer, Bigger Border Surge Is No Surprise — Just Follow The Money. Does it say anything to anyone that nowadays Cuban migrants, rather than take the jet stream on anything that floats to Florida as they used to, choose now to make lengthy stopovers in Central America first on the way to the U.S.? Why would anyone wanting asylum in America decide to detour through those hellholes when asylum is guaranteed just by reaching U.S. shores directly? The answer seems to be the development and reach of global smuggling networks that have grown as powerful as any better known non-state actors, such as terrorist groups and drug cartels. At last count, the United Nations said human traffickers worldwide rake in $36 billion a year. And they've been hugely empowered by the Obama administration's failure to enforce immigration laws. Law and Border. Our presidential candidates demand "stronger action" against both illegal immigration and illegal drugs. But those goals conflict. The War on Drugs makes border enforcement much harder! America's 44-year-long Drug War hasn't made a dent in American drug use or the supply of illegal drugs. If it had some positive effect, prices of drugs would have increased, but they haven't. American authorities say drugs are more available than ever. U.S. Immigrant Population Hits Record High of 42.4 Million. The U.S. immigrant population reached a record high of 42.4 million according to a new analysis of census data — and the growth rate of the foreign-born population is accelerating. A new Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) report shows the legal- and illegal-immigrant population grew by 2.4 million since 2010, with more than a million new arrivals in 2014. America's descent into lawlessness. Barack Obama once warned Latino activists that he had no legal authority to suspend enforcement of federal immigration law, stop deportations and offer de facto amnesties. But that caution was only a campaigning talking point. After his re-election in 2012 and the midterm elections in 2014, President Obama made a mockery of immigration law. Hundreds of liberal sanctuary cities have announced that federal immigration law does not apply to them. That scary, neo-Confederate idea of legal nullification was sanctioned by the Obama administration — in a way it never would have been if a city had suspended the Endangered Species Act, emissions standards or gun-control legislation. As a result, once-detained and later-released immigrants with criminal records have murdered innocent American citizens. Democracy Is Threatened When Rule Of Law Is Trashed. San Francisco and other cities have a so-called "sanctuary city" policy and refuse to cooperate with federal officials in enforcing the nation's immigration laws resulting in crime after heinous crime being perpetrated by the protected. The mayors of these cities have been deemed above the law. The Obama administration invoked executive amnesty for illegals though the president himself said on a number of occasions he could not legally do it. Yet, no one stopped him. President Obama is clearly above the law. President Obama Decides to Build a Border Security Wall. Only Problem: It's in Africa. [Scroll down] Since [2011] not much has been done to secure the Southern border because of the high-cost of such an initiative. However, it appears that spending billions of dollars on U.S. military personnel and supplies to help Niger secure their country from Boko Haram terrorists by, of all things, building a wall, is a cost-effective undertaking. Meanwhile, back in the United States, illegal immigration through the completely wide open border with Mexico is reportedly costing American taxpayers some $100 billion per year — fully 15 times what it would have cost to build a border fence or wall. Undocumented immigrants continue to flood in and the threat of real terrorists originating from the middle east and elsewhere remains at an all time high. In fact, just last year Congressman Jason Chaffetz reported that Federal agents captured four individuals with ties to the Islamic State attempting to cross into the United States. California Republicans set to soften stance on immigrants in the country illegally. With heated rhetoric on immigration dominating the GOP's presidential primary, a committee of delegates at the California Republican Party's semiannual convention voted Saturday [9/19/2015] to soften language on the issue in the party's platform, overriding the concerns of some conservative activists. A final vote is scheduled for Sunday [9/20/2015]. Top-Ranking DEA Official Signals Support For Donald Trump's Proposed Border Wall. Yahoo News asked [Jack] Riley whether or not Trump's presidential campaign promise to build a wall along the Southwest border would make a difference. "I'm all for anything that would make a difference in stopping criminals and the flow of drugs. I'm a cop. Whatever the policymakers decide, I'll work with," responded Riley, signaling support for Trump's immigration proposal. New White House Campaign Will Encourage Legal Immigrants to Become Citizens. White House officials announced the start of a nationwide campaign on Thursday to encourage legal immigrants to become American citizens, which could add millions of voters to the electorate in time for the presidential election next year. With about 8.8 million legal residents in the country who are eligible to become citizens, White House officials said they were trying to make it easier to complete the final steps to citizenship. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, the federal agency in charge of naturalizations, will offer practice tests on cellphones for the civics exam that immigrants must pass, but which many find daunting, and will hold preparatory workshops in rural areas. Applicants will also be able to pay the fee, still a hefty $680, with a credit card. Hurdles as Immigrants Seek Texas Birth Certificates for Children. At the Republican debate on Wednesday [9/16/2015] and throughout the campaign, candidates led by Donald J. Trump have assailed illegal immigration, and some have questioned whether children who are born to immigrants in this country illegally should be considered American citizens. But here on the Texas border some local officials are engaged in activities that go beyond talk, enforcing some of the toughest rules in the country limiting the types of ID parents can show to receive copies of birth certificates. The result has been a refusal to issue birth certificates to many of the Texas-born children of immigrants here illegally. No Assimilation Needed in U.S., Obama Tells Millions of Migrants. Foreigners who want to become U.S. citizens don't have to change their attitudes or beliefs, President Barack Obama said in a video aimed at convincing migrants to pursue American citizenship. "It's not about changing who you are, it's about adding a new chapter to your journey... and to our journey as a nation of immigrants," Obama narrates in his two-minute video urging almost 9 million resident migrants to sign up for citizenship so they can vote in 2016. Obama's deputies will award citizenship to 36,000 over the next few days. Agents say just 40 percent of [the] U.S.-Mexico border [is] under control. Less than half of the U.S.-Mexico border is under "operational control," and one out of every five illegal immigrants caught there has a criminal record, the chief of Border Patrol agents' labor union told Congress Wednesday [9/9/2015] when detailing violence that increasingly spills over the international boundary. Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, said the level of criminal activity belies claims that because fewer illegal immigrants are being caught, the border has improved in recent years. Texas asks judge to rescind 108,000 three-year amnesties for Dreamers. More than 100,000 three-year deportation amnesties issued by Homeland Security should be rescinded and reissued as two-year permits, Texas and 25 other states suing the government told a federal judge Friday [9/4/2015], as both sides try to clean up the messy situation surrounding President Obama's immigration executive actions. At stake are three-year permits issued to so-called Dreamers beginning last November, when Mr. Obama announced he was expanding his 2012 amnesty, including adding an extra year of protection from deportation to Dreamers who were already eligible for the program. DOJ Accuses U.S. Biz of Discrimination for Requiring Proof of Work Eligibility. In its crusade to protect and assist illegal immigrants, the Obama administration has accused an American company of discrimination for requiring employees to furnish proof that they are eligible to work legally in the United States. You know the nation is in trouble when a U.S. business gets investigated by its own government for following the law. The case involves a Nebraska meat packing company that demanded workers to furnish proof of immigration status for the federal employment eligibility verification process. The Obama Department of Justice (DOJ) went after the company, accusing it of engaging in employment discrimination. DHS Settles with ICE Attorney Trying to Enforce Law. Arizona's top Immigration and Customs Enforcement prosecutor, whose discrimination case against the Department of Homeland Security revealed internal unrest in the face of the Obama administration's diluted immigration enforcement efforts, has settled for nearly $400,000, according to the New York Times. Patricia Vroom, an award-winning, veteran ICE attorney, filed the suit late last year claiming that she and other career officials were strong armed into compliance with the administration's prosecutorial discretion immigration enforcement policy. And, to that end, Vroom charged that she was the victim of age and gender discrimination and a hostile work environment. Shock Poll: 59% Back Trump On Deportation of Illegals. When Donald Trump proposed mandatory deportation of illegal aliens, pundits and politicians on both sides of the political aisle were appalled. [...] "It's not conservative and it's not realistic and it does not embrace American values," said Jeb Bush. Sen. Lindsey Graham called it "absolute gibberish." Conservative commentator Charles Krauthammer called the idea "crackpot" and "morally obscene." But the prize for overheated rhetoric goes to Hillary Clinton, who said Trump wants to "literally pull people out of their homes and their workplaces, round them up, put them, I don't know, in buses, boxcars, in order to take them across our border." So what do these folks say about the fact that the majority of Americans back Trump on this? Joan Walsh: I Don't Know Any Liberals Outraged by Illegal Immigration. Looks like Up With Steve Kornacki is becoming the go-to place for liberals to let their radical cats out of the bag ... Yesterday, as we reported here, Josh Barro of the New York Times said that the only way to impact violent crime is to undertake a "massive" gun grab. Today [8/30/2015], it was the turn of Salon's Joan Walsh to admit that she doesn't know "any liberals upset — outraged" by illegal immigration. Obama agenda, legacy in hands of federal judges. A federal judge in Texas has put President Obama's deportation amnesty on hold, while another judge in the District of Columbia is poised to rule any day now on whether the House can sue to stop parts of the administration's Obamacare spending. Meanwhile, no fewer than six federal judges in the District are refereeing Mr. Obama's broad pledges of transparency and how they stack up against the way his State Department operated under Hillary Rodham Clinton as secretary. NY Times fine with 'maternity tourism,' but 'anchor babies' is racist. The New York Times is pushing back against Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump and Jeb Bush for employing the phrase "anchor babies" when referring to illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S. and giving birth to children who are then automatically granted citizenship. Both Bush and Trump have used the term in public while campaigning and discussing their positions on immigration policy. When challenged by reporters who said the term is "offensive," Trump said he would continue to use it and Bush said he was specifically referring to Asian immigrants. For Human Traffickers, Obama's Border Policy Is A Bonanza. During 2014's border surge, ICE handed over unaccompanied kids to what it claimed were "relatives." Turns out many ended up as slaves in human-trafficking dens. Is this a U.S.-subsidized smuggling racket? More Than 700 African Illegals Allowed To Travel Through Panama En Route To U.S. This Year. The number of Africans who have illegally traveled through Panama on their way to the United Sates has more than doubled so far this year, reaching more than 700, according to a Spanish-language news report. That figure only accounts for those who have been apprehended by Panamanian authorities. When apprehended the immigrants are not deported. They are allowed to pass through instead. The illegals spend no longer than a week in Panama. Court Rules Illegal Aliens Have Second Amendment Rights. A recent decision by the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals that says illegal aliens — what the left likes to call "undocumented immigrants" — enjoy a Second Amendment right to bear arms, even if their presence in this nation is criminal. The D.C. Idiocracy: Remember The Really Dumb Kids In School? They're Now In Charge Of Your Life. Did you know that when the government catches illegal aliens, it frequently just releases them and asks them to show up for a deportation hearing? Unsurprisingly, as many as 90% of illegals that are caught don't show up so they can be deported. But don't worry, the Department of Homeland Security is on the case! [...] If it's top priority to find the illegal immigrants who didn't show up to be deported, maybe they shouldn't have released them in the first place? Hey, aren't these the same people that are protecting the country from another 9/11? Sleep well tonight! Report: Every Deported Illegal Household Saves Taxpayers More than $700,000. Advocates for mass-migration are using skewed financial claims to smear Donald Trump's popular border proposals, which actually would help revive the near-bankrupt Social Security and Medicare programs. For every illegal migrant household that leaves the United States under Trump's plan, Americans would recoup nearly three-quarters of a million dollars ($719,350), according to 2010 data collected by Heritage scholar Robert Rector. Republican Elites: You Can't Secure The Border, You can't Deport, You Can't Stop Illegal Aliens. Laura Ingraham scratches the surface on the "anchor baby" issue, but more directly frames the discussion around the larger picture of failed immigration enforcement which has led to the crisis. We are in this ridiculous place because the 'Beltway Betters' have failed to enforce existing law, failed to secure the border, failed to secure employment law and lied to the American people about their intents therein. Gallup: 61% Disapprove of Obama's Handling of Immigration. Sixty-one percent of Americans disapprove of President Barack Obama's handling of immigration, according to a survey conducted by Gallup. From Aug. 4-9, Gallup asked a random sample of 1,011 U.S. residents 18 and older this question: "Do you approve or disapprove of the way Barack Obama is handling immigration?" Sixty-one said they disapprove, and only 36 percent said they approve. Judge rules U.S. government must swiftly release immigrant children in detention. A U.S. federal judge on Friday [8/21/2015] ordered the government to swiftly release immigrant children held at detention centers, affirming a July ruling that said some minors who crossed the border illegally were being detained in violation of a long-standing settlement. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee in Los Angeles gave the administration of President Barack Obama until Oct. 23 to comply with her order to release hundreds of unauthorized immigrant children, and in some cases their mothers, "without unnecessary delay." Stonewalled: Feds Hide Fiscal Details About Vast Operation To Resettle Illegal Alien Minors. Illegal aliens who show up at the border have been resettled all across United States of America instead of being detained and deported, as Donald Trump recently called for in his new immigration plan. According to data from the Justice Department obtained by Breitbart News, 96 percent of Central Americans caught illegally crossing into the country last summer are still in the United States. Now Breitbart News has learned exclusively that a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request from a pro-security group about the cost of this operation is being stonewalled. On Illegal Immigration, Elites Clueless On Public Consensus. A new Rasmussen poll shows most Americans favor a wall on our southern border to stop uncontrolled immigration and that 80% want illegal alien felons deported. What about this do our elites not understand? The 51% majority in favor of a wall broke down to 70% of Republicans, 57% of independents and a 30% plurality of Democrats. On illegal immigrant felons, 92% of Republicans, 69% of Democrats and 82% of independents want them sent home. The immigrant invasion no candidate is talking about. With immigration front and center in the political debate, I've yet to hear any candidate address the significant threat to our national security otherwise known as importing hordes of Muslims. Nor is anyone talking about the infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood into every arm of our government. Why the silence on these matters of utmost importance? Surely with a small group of candidates fearlessly bucking political correctness and the establishment, we should have at least a couple of them putting these issues front and center. But no one is. Immigration Excuses. One of the most lame excuses for doing nothing is that we can't do everything. Such excuses have been repeated endlessly, even by some conservatives, when it comes to illegal immigration. We can't deport millions of illegal immigrants already living in the country, some say, so the wise thing is to just learn to live with them, according to the supposedly sophisticated crowd. This completely sidesteps the plain, obvious and galling fact that we are not deporting those illegal immigrants who are arrested by the police for violating other laws — and are then turned loose back into American society. In so-called "sanctuary cities" across the country, local police are under orders not to report illegal immigrants to the federal authorities. Immigration Overload: Record 42.1 Million (Im)migrants in U.S.. Multiculturalists are fond of saying, "We're a nation of immigrants" when the United States is actually, as is any healthy country, a nation of citizens. But if current trends continue, we may become a land of disparate and divided immigrants and not really a nation, which involves far more than a political boundary drawn on a map. New information released by the Census Bureau shows that there are now a record 42.1 million immigrants and illegal migrants in this country; this means the two groups together comprise more than 13 percent of our 320 million population, the highest figure in 105 years. Moreover, the total im(migrant) population has exploded by 1.7 million just since 2014 — with 740,000 people pouring in from Mexico alone. Texas Judge Considers Penalty For Obama Immigration Permits. The Obama administration scrambled Wednesday [8/19/2015] to convince a Texas judge it shouldn't be punished for violating his order freezing new immigration rules. At a hearing in federal court in Brownsville, government lawyers repeatedly apologized to U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen for mistakenly issuing 2,600 work permits and then making misleading statements about it. Hanen froze the program after 26 states sued, and has set a potential Sept. 4 deadline for a decision on sanctions or a contempt citation. Obama's Betrayals: Illegality and Malfeasance in Office. President Barack Obama is guilty of multiple counts of illegality and malfeasance in office. He has both willfully abused his executive powers and willfully neglected to perform his executive duties under the Constitution to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed." More than any president in the history of the United States, Obama's motive for his shredding of the Constitution is the pursuit of absolute power for the purpose of, in his words, "fundamentally transforming the United States of America." [...] Obama did not set about to flout the Constitution's separation of powers provisions out of compassion for the illegal immigrants' plight. Rather, he saw his executive actions as a shortcut to fundamentally transform the demographic profiles in key states and potentially tilt the outcome of future elections. His executive actions will cement the loyalties of the millions of beneficiaries of Obama's amnesty program to the Democratic Party. Must-See: Black Woman Rips Council Over Illegal Aliens. Chanell Temple, a black woman originally from Huntington Park, delivered a strident, politically incorrect speech against illegal immigration on Monday evening [8/17/2015] at the local city council meeting. CBP: 135 Unaccompanied Children Caught At U.S. Border Per Day in July. About 135 unaccompanied children, on average, were caught illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border each day in July, according to the latest data released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). That is a monthly record for unaccompanied children (UC) apprehensions so far in Fiscal Year 2015. According to the updated numbers, 30,862 unaccompanied minors have been apprehended at the border so far in FY 2015, which began on Oct. 1. The CBP's latest numbers run through July 31. New Report: Massive Immigration Surge from Mexico. The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) has published another blockbuster report on immigration numbers, and their analysis foreshadows a troubling trend of growing illegal immigration. Using the most up-to-date census data, they have uncovered a trend that has been lost from some of the traditional immigration-related data published by the Department of Homeland Security, which tends to lag behind the most recent trends. To begin with, this report reaffirms the known reality of record high levels of immigration across the board and from Latin America, and the trend is only growing. Huge Majorities of Voters Want an End to Sanctuary Cities, Aggressive Deportations. Not that you heard any of this from vintage media, but it turns out that the electorate actively seeks an end to Barack Obama's illegal amnesty executive order; that it wants illegal aliens aggressively deported; and would love the federal government to go medieval on sanctuary cities. Surge of Mexican Immigration Pushes Foreign-Born Population to 42.1 Million as Economy Stagnates. According to an analysis published by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), a surge of Mexican immigration has pushed the total number of foreign-born in the U.S. to 42.1 million in 2015's second quarter. Mexicans, who either broke into the country or were voluntarily imported by the government, number 12.1 million, the highest ever. They accounted for 44 percent of the total foreign-born population last year, with 740,000 coming to the U.S. Immigrants mothers sue U.S. government over treatment at detention centers. Five immigrant mothers held in facilities with their children are seeking millions of dollars in damages from the U.S. government for what they contend is psychological and physical harm as a result of being detained, according to court papers filed Monday [8/10/2015]. Andrew Free, a Nashville immigration lawyer representing the women, filed tort claims against the Department of Homeland Security, alleging the detained women and their children received inadequate medical care, suffered psychological trauma and in some cases were wrongfully imprisoned. Without immigration reform, California citizenship will have to do. It started with in-state tuition. Then came driver's licenses, new rules designed to limit deportations and state-funded healthcare for children. And on Monday [8/10/2015], in a gesture heavy with symbolism, came a new law to erase the word "alien" from California's labor code. Together, these piecemeal measures have taken on a significance greater than their individual parts — a fundamental shift in the relationship between California and its residents who live in the country illegally. The various benefits, rights and protections add up to something experts liken to a kind of California citizenship. Judge excuses Jeh Johnson, says DHS must still answer for amnesty errors. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson won't be hauled into federal court to explain his department's botched execution of President Obama's deportation amnesty, but the judge said Tuesday [8/11/2015] he still doesn't consider the issue settled. Judge Andrew S. Hanen had threatened to force Mr. Johnson to appear personally later this month to explain why thousands of tentative three-year amnesty applications were approved in violation of the court's injunction, but after Homeland Security managed to recapture almost all of the erroneous amnesty cards, Judge Hanen relaxed his stance. Gov. Brown doesn't want California to use this word for immigrants. Gov. Jerry Brown signed a trio of immigration-related measures Monday [8/10/2015], including one removing the word "alien" from California's labor code because it is seen as a disparaging term for those not born in the United States. Brown also signed into law legislation allowing noncitizens in high school to serve as election poll workers and protecting the rights of immigrant minors in civil lawsuits. DHS admits new surge of illegal immigrant families. The country saw another surge of illegal immigrant families crossing the border in July, a top Homeland Security official told a federal court late Thursday [8/6/2015] as the administration begged a judge not to forbid detention of new migrant mothers and children. Deputy Border Patrol Chief Ronald Vitiello said the number of illegal immigrant families captured at the border rose in July, bucking a trend and worrying officials who had been expecting the number of families to drop as the heat increases in late summer, just as the number of unaccompanied minors does. Kasich Affirms Path to Legal Status for Undocumented Immigrants. Republican presidential candidate John Kasich reaffirmed his call for a path to legal status for the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S., as well as a guest worker program to meet the needs of the labor market. On CNN's "State of the Union" show on Sunday morning [8/9/2015], the Ohio governor seemed to disavow his previous support for eliminating "birthright citizenship," the law granting automatic U.S. citizenship to almost all children born on U.S. soil. "I don't think we need to go there," he said. Born in the U.S.A.. One of the most important questions America will face over the coming decades is how to successfully integrate the children of immigrants. As of 2013, there were 17.4 million children in the United States living with at least one immigrant parent, or roughly 25 percent of all American children. That number is expected to climb to 30 percent by 2018. While the overall U.S. population has increased by 28 percent since 1990, the number of children in immigrant households has increased by 112 percent. These children face unique challenges. For one thing, they are far more likely than the children of native-born parents to be raised poor. Hard Truth for the GOP from its Base. The Republican field is frozen in error by lack of either vision or courage on this issue, and by its need to please its corporate donors. These corporate donors want cheaper labor forever and delude themselves about the not far off social and political consequences of massive illegal immigration. After all, those consequences will reach them later than they do the rest of us — they have not shown up yet in the gated communities, elite private schools, high-income jobs and country clubs of the nation's governing class. Only the Democratic Party knows what is really happening, and it appears destined to get exactly what it wants: A few hundred thousand more dependable client voters in a bunch of key states, after which it can rest easily in the certainty of victory in every presidential election for the next half century. Mark Levin: The Republican Party Won Its Majority on a Lie. Levin argued that on every issue from Obamacare to executive amnesty to Obamatrade, the establishment Republican Party has refused to represent the interests of Americans. Perhaps nowhere is this more acutely noticeable than on the issue of immigration. You might be a liberal if ... you're delusional. You may be a liberal if you believe that felons and illegal aliens should be allowed to vote, but not the military. [...] You may be a liberal if you support open borders, but live in a gated community. There are two political parties in this country, and in some ways they are identical. Immigration As Obama's Vehicle For 'Fundamentally Transforming' America. The open borders movement has long been suspected as a scheme to turn red states blue to ensure permanent Democratic rule. A slew of new reports shows that the plot is real — and may be succeeding. Dems press White House to end family detention centers. House Democrats are escalating their calls for the Obama administration to shutter the family detention centers housing thousands of illegal immigrant women and children. In a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, 178 Democrats contend the centers — which were established last summer, largely to accommodate the flood of immigrants arriving at the southern border — are illegal and impose prison-like conditions that risk physical and mental harm to detainees. 9.6 million Americans Unemployed — 8.1 million Illegal Aliens Employed. Only one man is responsible for the unemployment rate in this nation — if you, your teens or your family members can not get a job — thank Barack Obama for his amnesty of illegal aliens and his refusal to enforce our immigration laws. "Of those 11.3 [million] illegal immigrants, 8.1 million are participating in the labor force. "Unauthorized immigrants make up 5.1% of the U.S. labor force," Pew says. "In the U.S. labor force, there were 8.1 million unauthorized immigrants either working or looking for work in 2012." In 2014, there were 1.7 million more illegal immigrants living in the United States than there were unemployed Americans. According to the BLS, the average number of unemployed Americans in 2014 was 9.6 million." How To Solve The Illegal Immigration Problem — Part I. In order to tackle the U.S. Illegal Immigration issues, even broadly, a person must first change their paradigms and understand the root issues which create the crisis. Before you can reasonably present a solution to the problem, you must first understand the problem. Understanding how illegal aliens work in the U.S. is step one toward understanding what proposed solutions would/could work, and which are mere political talking points. Here's the stuff the professional political class don't want you to know. Mexico Cracks Down on Illegal Aliens From North of the Border. Maybe there is a silver lining to our quisling rulers converting America into a second Mexico; once they have finished, we might start taking our borders seriously, like Mexicans do. Detention Ruling Leaves Sealing The Border The Last Option. Border surgers have won another. A federal judge has ruled that ICE can't hold illegals in federal detention centers, meaning they must be let out. So it's down to this: Either open the borders or seal them up. Documented Irresponsibility. Both Democratic and Republican administrations have left the border with Mexico porous for years — porous not just for Mexicans but for anybody else, including terrorists from the Middle East. Two very different issues have gotten jumbled together in the political stew called "comprehensive immigration reform." The first and most fundamental issue is whether we are going to have an immigration policy at all. The second issue is: Just what should that immigration policy be? New California: Mass Immigration Turning Virginia Blue. Each year the federal government prints millions of visas and distributes these admission tickets to the poorest and least-developed nations in the world. A middle-aged person living in parts of Virginia today will have witnessed more demographic change in the span of her life than many societies have experienced in millennia. A census study entitled "Immigrants in Virginia," released by University of Virginia (UVA) researchers, documented the phenomenon: "Until 1970, only 1 in 100 Virginians was born outside of the United States; by 2012, 1 in every 9 Virginians is foreign-born." Bending the rules for immigrant parents on birth certificates opens door to more illegal immigration. The latest push by amnesty advocates to grant greater privileges to illegal aliens recently came in the form of a multi-party lawsuit against the state of Texas. Pro bono attorneys representing a group of illegal aliens filed a suit in Texas federal court claiming that state authorities are violating their children's claim to birthright citizenship. By refusing to issue birth certificates to illegal alien parents lacking proper ID, the 19 female plaintiffs in the case also claim that Texas is discriminating against them in violation of the equal protection clause. Levin: 'Unbridled Immigration, Legal and Illegal, Is Taking the Country Down'. "Immigration, legal and illegal, is taking the country down," nationally syndicated radio show host Mark Levin stated in his broadcast on Thursday [7/23/2015]. "Unbridled immigration, wave after wave after wave, which is what has taken place for the last 50 years, is killing this country," Levin said. "Fundamentally altering this country, creating more poor American citizens in this country — and to what end?" Time is Running Out: Will Schumer and the Democrats Finally Step Up and Defend America? While fellow party members may have enjoyed Barack's rewriting ObamaCare, and changing immigration laws to fit their partisan needs, his handing the Iranian Nuclear Arms Deal to the United Nations before Congress has even read it, is very, very different. It puts Democrats in an extremely tough spot on a two levels. Judge orders Obama administration to release illegal immigrants from 'deplorable' facilities. A federal judge in California has ruled that hundreds of illegal immigrant women and children in U.S. holding facilities should be released, another apparent setback for President Obama's immigration policy, according to The Los Angeles Times. U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee said Friday [7/24/2015] that the conditions in which the detainees are being held are "deplorable" and violate parts of an 18-year-old court settlement that put restrictions on the detention of migrant children. The ruling also raises questions about what the administration will do with the estimated 1,700 parents and children at three detention facilities, two in Texas and one in Pennsylvania. The Editor asks... U.S. Judge: US Violates Agreement in Detention of Immigrant Kids. A federal judge has ruled that the U.S. Department of Justice's current system of detaining children with their mothers after they've crossed the U.S.-Mexico border violates an 18-year-old court settlement. Judge blasts ICE, says immigrant children, mothers should be released from detention centers. A federal judge has ruled that hundreds of immigrant women and children held in detention facilities should be released, finding that their detention was in serious violation of an earlier court settlement. U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee in Los Angeles ruled late Friday [7/24/2015] that federal officials had violated an 18-year-old court settlement regarding the detention of migrant children. Obama shielding 80 percent of nation's illegals from deportation. President Obama's executive actions on immigration shield more than 80 percent of the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the country from any danger of being deported, a top immigration think tank reported Thursday [7/24/2015]. As part of his November amnesty Mr. Obama announced a program to proactively grant a temporary deportation amnesty to as many as 5 million illegal immigrants. But he also directed immigration agents not to bother deporting millions of others, even though they weren't eligible for the official amnesty, which grants work permits and other benefits. He Lied: Obamacare To Be Opened Up To Illegal Immigrants In California. When President Obama was pushing Obamacare, he stated before a joint session of Congress in September 2009 that it would not be opened up to illegal immigrants. Remember what happened next? Representative Joe Wilson yelled, "You lie!" and it caused quite a stir. [Video clip] Immigrant parents suing Texas for withholding birth certificates to US-born kids. Immigrant parents living in Texas without proper identification papers are suing the state for withholding birth certificates from their American-born children, in a tricky case that pits Texas' strict ID laws against the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. The suit was filed in May in U.S. District Court in Austin by a group of Mexican citizen parents living in Texas. The suit claims the state refused birth certificates for 23 children because the parents could not provide the proper photo identification under state law. But the parents argue Texas is, in doing so, violating the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil regardless of their parents' status. The Hell That is the Obama White House. [Scroll down] The same desire to overwhelm and permanently suppress the opposition drives the war that Obama and the Democrats have conducted against America's borders and therefore American sovereignty. Their plan is too flood the country with illegals of whatever stripe who will be grateful enough for the favor to win them elections and create a permanent majority in their favor. The immediate result of these efforts is that we have no secure southern border, and therefore no border; and therefore we have effectively invited criminals and terrorists to come across and do Americans harm. In Wake of Immigrant Murders, Obama Admin Declares New Goal: Improve 'Customer Service' for Illegal Aliens. In a dramatic but little-noticed bulletin from United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Obama Administration has announced a new executive amnesty program that would allow an unknown number of foreign nationals residing in the United States illegally to access provisional waivers that would allow illegals to either remain in the country without consequence or return home and be eligible to instantly apply for a green card. The Coming Confrontation, Part 2. Federal law — as we were told in the same-sex marriage ruling — is the law of the land. Not to be questioned — inviolate. Does this go for immigration as well? Or is it just that illegals are noisy enough and cause enough commotion that those in charge of this administration and law enforcement just let them have what they want to keep them calm? Let's see if we can answer those questions. Border security steps up — but it's Mexico who is making it tougher to cross. Security is going to get tighter on the U.S.-Mexico border — but it will be Mexico stepping up scrutiny of people attempting to enter it from the United States. U.S. citizens and other non-Mexicans who try to cross on foot into Tijuana from San Ysidro, Calif. soon will find more stringent inspections of their documents, including U.S. passports, according to published reports. Obama's ICE Director: No Immigration Enforcement Until Amnesty Is Passed. President Obama's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director tells lawmakers that no consequences are planned for sanctuary cities until Congress first passes "comprehensive immigration reform." Sarah Saldaña testified before a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on criminal alien violence. After hearing emotional testimony from families torn apart by illegal immigrant murderers, Republican members of Congress grilled two administration witnesses: [...] Obama to Protect Illegal Aliens Based on "Accrual of Unlawful Presence" in U.S.. Three years after the Obama administration quietly rewarded illegal immigrants with "unlawful presence waivers" it has a new plan in the works to shield them from deportation based on the "accrual of unlawful presence" in the United States. That's right; illegal aliens with the longest record of violating our laws will be rewarded by our government, according to the proposed plan obtained by Judicial Watch this month from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It's all part of the president's mission to grant amnesty to as many illegal immigrants as possible before he leaves office. This includes special executive programs created to help illegal aliens brought to the U.S. as children and "family reunification" measures that shield relatives and spouses of a broad range of immigrants. Obama Admin. Updates Eligibility Requirements To Omit Portions Of Citizenship Oath. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is highlighting clarified guidance for those immigrants wishing to omit portions of the citizenship oath. USCIS explained Tuesday [7/21/2015] that while reciting the Oath of Allegiance is part of the naturalization process, immigrant candidates for citizenship may omit portions of the oath if they have certain religious or conscientious objections. [...] Under the clarified guidance from USCIS, certain immigrant candidates for citizenship do not need to declare that they will "bear arms on behalf of the United States" and "perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States." DHS Chief spits on Congress, says he will refuse to obey immigration laws. Jeh Johnson warned Congress not to pass any laws to stop sanctuary cities. He also made it clear he won't use the tools available to him to return criminals from countries who don't want them back. [...] Jeh Johnson was asked about it on Tuesday [7/14/2015] and evaded the questions, answering with diversionary responses. Johnson did say he does not want to see nor does he want to enforce any law against sanctuary cities. Nor will he use the powers he has as DHS Chief against countries who refuse to repatriate illegal aliens from their country. He will talk with them instead. ICE is releasing hardened illegal alien criminals to sanctuary cities, knowing the city won't cooperate, knowing they don't honor detainers. Jeh Johnson agreed the practice "doesn't make sense" and "there should be some discretion built in." However, he will not support federal law to force sanctuary cities into compliance with federal law. When asked about municipalities that refuse to cooperate, Johnson said he will "evaluate" and "build in some discrimination." Also posted under Obama resides on the outskirts of the law. Immigrant Population to Hit Highest Percentage Ever in 8 Years. While they did not receive much attention when they were released last month, new projections from the Census Bureau show the enormous impact of immigration on the U.S. population. For the first time, the Bureau projected the future size of the immigrant (foreign-born) population and found that by 2023 immigrants will account for more than one in seven U.S. residents (51 million) — the largest share ever recorded in American history. Driven largely by legal immigration, not illegal immigration, the immigrant population will grow to nearly one in five U.S. residents (78 million) by 2060, the Bureau projects. 2.5 million illegals cross border under Obama, less than Bush. About 2.5 million illegal immigrants have settled in the U.S. during President Obama's tenure, according to estimates being released Monday by the Center for Immigration Studies, which said it's an improvement compared with the Bush administration. Nearly 800,000 of those illegal immigrants arrived in the past two years, suggesting that the flow has ticked up as the economy has improved and as Mr. Obama has reshaped enforcement policies, focusing on criminals while relaxing actions against rank-and-file illegal immigrants. Report: 2.5 million illegal immigrants under Obama, 400,000 yearly. Some 2.5 million illegal immigrants have flowed into the United States under President Obama, with 790,000 rushing in since 2013, according to a new analysis. Calculations from the Center for Migration Studies and the Pew Research Center indicate 1.5 to 1.7 million aliens joined the illegal population from 2009 to 2013 — either overstaying a temporary visa or sneaking into the country, according to a Center for Immigration Studies report out Monday morning [7/20/2015]. How A Red Diaper Baby President Is Rigging Future Elections With Illegal Immigrants. In January, 2012, the Sentinel posted an article about why illegal immigration is more than welcomed by Democrats; even the immigration of criminal illegals, and especially families is encouraged. If drug cartels and terrorists exploit the situation, it's not a concern because the end goal is what matters. One obvious reason is because they will one day vote and they support Democrats by a margin of 8 to 1, but it's not only that. It is a fact that the U.S. Census Bureau counts illegal aliens because the law states the census "'is required by the U.S. Constitution to count everyone living in this country, regardless of immigration or citizenship status.'" It's interesting that a party that strongly advocates for a "living Constitution" wants to stick with this definition despite the rampant illegal immigration and the effect it has in making illegal aliens a strong political and economic power in the United States. [...] These statistics are used to apportion our 435 congressional districts. How housing an illegal immigrant for a night in the United States' biggest detention center costs more than a stay at the nearest four-star Hilton Hotel. The government shells out $231 every 24 hours to house just one of the 2,105 foreign detainees at The South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, a small town 200 miles from the Mexican border. That is more than a double room at the four-star Hilton Palacio del Rio 70 miles away in San Antonio, which costs $169. Puerto Rican congressman tells millions of Hispanics to become citizens. A Democratic congressman wants millions of people who hold U.S. green cards to become American citizens in order to send Donald Trump and other Republicans a message that they're 'mean and frankly, let's be honest, racist.' Louis Gutierrez, who is the senior House Democrat from Illinois and a Puerto Rican immigrant, spoke on the House floor just after 10:00 Wednesday morning [7/15/2015], delivering a message especially to more than 5 million Hispanic U.S. residens who are eligible for citizenship today. DoJ to Sheriff Joe: Speak Spanish in jails. The Justice Department announced a deal Friday [7/17/2015] requiring Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to provide services in Spanish to his jail inmates, settling part of a two-year-old discrimination complaint the Obama administration filed against the man known as "America's Sheriff." Federal authorities will also become permanent overseers for all worksite raids, with the power to demand information about any raids that deputies perform. The Justice Department says it will scrutinize them to make sure they're following the Constitution. The Immigration Boon to Democrats. A new "sanctuary cities" map from the Center for Immigration Studies goes a long way toward explaining why open-borders Democrats are so addicted to flouting our immigration laws. When you consider the political makeup of the cities, counties, and states where illegal aliens are welcomed, you start to suspect that the liberal elite in San Francisco and elsewhere aren't interested only in cheap nannies and gardeners. For them, pulling in more illegal aliens is, perhaps first and foremost, about pumping up their political power. Feds going door to door to seize illegal immigrants' Obama amnesty approvals. Goosed into action by an angry federal judge, federal immigration authorities will go door-to-door demanding illegal immigrants return the three-year amnesty approvals the Obama administration issued to them in defiance of a court order. Those who don't return their three-year permits will have them terminated at the end of this month, the National Immigrant Justice Center, one of the advocacy groups briefed on authorities' plan, said in a statement preparing immigrants for what could be a traumatic encounter. Trump's Lesson: Voters Are Furious about Illegal Immigration. Donald Trump has rocketed to the top, or near the top, of the Republican-primary field by focusing on illegal immigration and border security. Depending on the poll, Trump is garnering in the high teens of Republican voters. It might be that the high teens is the ceiling for Trump, but in a field with more than one dozen candidates dividing the voting pie, that's enormous. Donald Trump Raises Uncomfortable Truths. Trump's surge in the polls is being fueled by ordinary Americans. They are applauding or murmuring quiet approval because they probably live in areas that have gotten massive influxes of immigrants — the majority from Mexico — over the last decade or two. They know what the score is; that diversity has failed to provide the benefits that political elites said it would. They've seen public schools overwhelmed with non-English speakers, dumbed down, social problems increase, and crime go up — and it all seems to have a Hispanic face as millions upon millions of immigrants have flooded over the border. Now at long last, they see Trump telling it like it is [...] Another Court Loss for Obama's Amnesty... Not That it Matters. If the rule of law still meant anything in Obama's America, the President's agenda of amnesty for illegal aliens would be in big trouble. It doesn't, so the Administration just keeps pumping out amnesty documents, no matter how often federal courts order them to stop. Team Obama even stooped to flat-out lying to a federal judge about the need for a temporary injunction to stop the amnesty printing press. Later they made a "surprise filing" to the judge disclosing that their previous statements were false, and — whoopsie! — they had already tossed 100,000 amnesty packages out. The Coming Confrontation. A five-time offender just killed a girl in San Francisco. What was he doing here? How many criminals has ICE and DHS let loose on our streets, to commit more crimes, and even legal immigration has been taken over. [The latest figure is 350,000 illegal alien criminals have been released on to our streets.] Disneyland hired over 200 illegals, and Southern California Edison hired over 400 H1B visa immigrants who will work for less money than a citizen. The employees they replace are forced to train them. Obama Plan for Immigration Action Gets a Cold Reception at Appeals Court. Government lawyers labored on Friday [7/10/2015] to persuade federal appeals court judges here to allow President Obama to move ahead with sweeping initiatives to protect immigrants in the country illegally. But the judges' questions seemed to make it ever more unlikely that the president's programs, which he has hoped would be a central piece of his legacy, would start any time before the last months of his term, if at all. Federal Judge threatens to hold DHS Secretary in contempt. The presiding federal Judge in Texas vs. United States Andrew Hanen is not playing around. Wednesday [7/8/2015], Judge Hanen threatened to hold Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson in contempt of court. Under Johnson's watch, and after Judge Hanen blocked President Obama's immigration overreach, approximately 2,000 individuals "erroneously" received work permits. To date, Johnson has yet to correct the mistake to Judge Hanen's satisfaction. Jan Brewer: Donald Trump 'Telling It Like It Really, Truly Is'. Although he's been villified by amnesty advocates, business tycoon Donald Trump is right about the problems, including crime, caused by people crossing into the United States illegally, says the former governor of Arizona. "I believe that Mr. Trump is kind of telling it like it really, truly is," Republican Jan Brewer told CNN's Don Lemon Wednesday night [7/8/2015]. "You know, being the governor of (Arizona), the gateway of illegal immigration for six years, we had to deal with a lot of things. 41.7 Percent of Federal Criminal Cases in 5 Districts on US-Mexico Border. According to data released by the U.S. Justice Department, 41.7 percent of the federal criminal cases that U.S. attorneys filed in U.S. district courts in fiscal 2014 were in the five U.S. attorneys' districts that sit along the U.S.-Mexico border. In fact, the five districts that sit along the border — those for Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Western Texas and Southern Texas — were the top five in the country for criminal cases filed in U.S. district courts. The human cost of Obama's immigration policy. It is the policy of this administration to ignore US immigration policy. One doesn't know the reasons for this decision but it is difficult to think that humanitarianism has anything to do with it. This is the same administration that, you will recall, initiated a low level war along the US-Mexico border in order to establish a fact pattern that would support increased regulation of firearms in the United States. In 2012, the administration unilaterally granted amnesty to illegals under the age of thirty and authorized the issuance of work permits. A draft immigration bill proposed by the White House would specifically stop the automatic deportation of illegals based on a felony conviction. Despite Obama's refrain of "deporting felons not families" (what [...] does that mean anyway?) the administration has pursued a policy of allowing illegal felons to walk out of custody to repeat their crimes. Johnson, immigration brass ordered to Texas court. A federal judge up in arms about non-compliance with a court order blocking President Barack Obama's recent executive actions on immigration is demanding that Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson and four other top immigration enforcement officials appear in a Brownsville, Texas, courtroom next month to explain why they should not be held in contempt of court. U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen issued an order Tuesday afternoon [7/7/2015] requring the five officials to show up for a hearing Aug. 19. Judge Says Federal Officials Must Personally Appear In Court For Violating Amnesty Injunction. A federal judge in the district court of South Texas has ordered top officials with the Department of Homeland Security — including Sec. Jeh Johnson — to appear in person in his court in Brownsville next month to show why they should not be held in contempt for violating an injunction issued against President Obama's executive amnesty order. [...] [Judge Andrew] Hanen called the Obama administration's response to his Feb. 16 injunction "unacceptable" and "unprofessional." He also stated that he is "shocked and surprised at the cavalier attitude the Government has taken" towards it. Mexican Elites Secretly Agree With Donald Trump. Mexico is a country divided — by political parties, generations, skin color, geography, urban vs. rural. You name it. But the deepest division has to be based on class lines. The elites are so busy feeling superior to most of their countrymen that few of them take the time to think about how their country benefits from those who migrate to the north. In fact, that's one thing that Americans and Mexicans have in common: Both groups are too proud to admit how dependent they are on Mexican migrants who work in the United States, and acknowledge how much those migrants contribute. Obama Lies Again: "Deports" 900,000 Illegal Aliens — But They Never Leave the U.S.. "In the latest demonstration that the U.S. legal and police system appears unable to enforce immigration laws, documents show that about 900,000 undocumented immigrants, including 170,000 criminals, have been ordered deported "in absentia," meaning a judge kicked them out without them even knowing it." The media has known this for years — but acts more like a totalitarian nations State owned media. Feds 'deported' 900,000 illegals, but they remain in U.S.. Nearly 1 million of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States have been ordered to leave the country but remain, many hiding in plain view as they take advantage of an overwhelmed federal system, according to new documents. In the latest demonstration that the U.S. legal and police system appears unable to enforce immigration laws, documents show that about 900,000 undocumented immigrants, including 170,000 criminals, have been ordered deported "in absentia," meaning a judge kicked them out without them even knowing it. Donald Trump's Criminal Illegal Immigrants. [Scroll down] The only way illegal immigrants can ever obtain good jobs is by obtaining a good education, yet Democrats and their liberal enablers intentionally have successfully forced, through Federal regulation, all product labels, election ballots, and so on be printed in Spanish as well as English. This action permanently disables illegal immigrants and their children from ever obtaining good paying, English speaking, jobs. The progressives want them to be low paid, just as they've always wanted black voters to be low paid. So here we have proof that progressives don't want to pay illegal immigrants much money for their menial work. This is the exact attitude that they claim capitalists have toward the masses of workers. 128 Unaccompanied Alien Children Caught at Mexican Border Per Day in May. Data obtained by CNSNews.com from U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CPB) shows about 128 unaccompanied alien children (UACs) were apprehended at the Southwest U.S. border every day during the month of May. In total, 3,965 children were caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally during that month alone. According to the data, May was the month with the most UAC apprehensions since the start of Fiscal Year 2015 on Oct. 1. 19.8% of U.S. Workforce Was Foreign-Born in June. The unemployment rate for foreign-born workers in the United States increased slightly in June, according to data released Thursday [7/2/2015] by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). BLS counted a total of 24,816,000 foreign-born workers in June, 282,000 fewer than last month's total. The unemployment rate for the group increased from 4.7 percent to 4.9 percent. Native-born workers who were employed increased from 124,251,900 to 124,830,000, bringing the overall unemployment rate down slightly from 5.5 to 5.3 percent. Sorry, Donald Trump Has A Point. "When Mexico sends its people," Trump said, "they're not sending their best." This is obviously correct. We aren't raiding the top 1 percent of Mexicans and importing them to this country. Instead, we are getting representative Mexicans, who — through no fault of their own, of course — come from a poorly educated country at a time when education is essential to success in an advanced economy. Trump's comments made it sound as though Mexico is sending us moral defectives. That's not the larger problem (although gangs certainly exploit the border and there are criminals in any population). Immigrants are willing to work. Immigrant men aged 18-65 are in the labor force at a higher rate than native men. It's just that a lack of education is an anchor around even the hardest-working person in modern America. Ben Carson On The Trump Uproar: 'It's The PC Police Out In Force'. Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson lamented Monday that the uproar over Donald Trump's comments about Mexican immigrants indicates some people seem more interested in calling out violations of political correctness than discussing the issue of illegal immigration. "It's the P.C. police out in force," Carson, a former neurosurgeon, said in a Monday [7/6/2015] interview with The Daily Caller. "They want to make very clear that this is a topic you're not supposed to bring up." Obama defies federal judge, fails to rescind wrongly issued amnesties. The Obama administration still hasn't fully rescinded the 2,000 three-year amnesties it wrongly issued four months ago in violation of a court order, government lawyers recently admitted in court, spurring a stern response from the judge who said the matter must be cleaned up by the end of July — or else. It's the latest black eye for President Obama's amnesty policy and the immigration agency charged with carrying it out. The agency bungled the rollout, issuing three-year amnesties even while assuring the judge it had stopped all action hours after a Feb. 16 injunction. Homeland Security: Give Transgender Illegal Alien Detainees Their Choice of 'Undergarments'. After six months of study, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, a division of the Department of Homeland Security, has issued new guidelines on how to care for transgender illegal aliens who end up in detention facilities, awaiting possible deportation. The goal of the Transgender Care Memorandum is to provide a "respectful, safe and secure environment for all detainees, including those individuals who identify as transgender." Coulter to PJM: Cut Off All Immigration, Focus on White Voters to Win. Author and political commentator Ann Coulter said there should be a 10-year freeze on immigration to the U.S. since the federal government has demonstrated it cannot enforce current law. "There's a law on the books that says if a country will not take a criminal back the attorney general shall, not may, shall deny visas, any visas coming from that country — that is on the books right now. Has it been enforced by Republicans or Democrats? No, it has not," Coulter said during an interview with PJ Media. Transgender immigrant detainees to be housed according to preferred gender. In new guidelines Monday [6/29/2015], Immigration and Customs Enforcement said staff will be trained for sensitivity on the treatment of transgender immigrants, including directions on obtaining detainees' preference on which pronouns to use, what clothing to provide, and where to house them. "ICE will allow for the placement of a transgender woman consistent with their gender identity, meaning that a transgender woman could be with biological females," said Andrew Lorenzen-Strait, ICE's deputy assistant director of custody programs. When you come to America, be sure to bring an anchor baby. Senate Appropriators Don't Think We Have Enough Illegal Immigration. Last week the Senate Appropriations Committee approved one of those amendments that no one pays attention to, but should. At the behest of Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) and Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), the Senate Appropriations Committee voted to allow the State Department to add Poland to the list of countries whose citizens don't need visas to visit the United States. The reason for the amendment is that Poland does not meet the statutory requirements for the Visa Waiver Program. If you like Mexico that much, why are you here? Mexican Flag-Waving Illegal Has Had A Cushy Ride. An illegal immigrant who graduated from UC San Diego thanked taxpayers for her free ride by waving the Mexican flag at commencement. Seems that illegals get a better deal in education than citizens. Why else would she flaunt it? A Dreamer graduates with no education in citizenship. Instead of a diploma, one recent college graduate should have received an "Incomplete." She seems to have missed some courses — "Gratitude 101," "Introduction to Civics" and, finally, "Flag Waving and the Importance of Context." Mark Zuckerberg Gives $5M to Undocumented Immigrant College Fund. Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan are donating $5 million to TheDream.US, a scholarship fund for young undocumented immigrants. "America was founded as a nation of immigrants," he wrote Wednesday [6/17/2015] in a Facebook post. "We ought to welcome smart and hardworking young people from every nation, and to help everyone in our society achieve their full potential." The Editor says... Jeb Bush argues persuasively why he shouldn't be nominated. [Scroll down] In his speech Bush [...] touts Florida as a great state that "looks like America." That may be true, but it doesn't look like America should be. There are large parts of Miami where English isn't spoken, huge populations of (dare I say it) Hispanic immigrants and/or illegal aliens who haven't bothered to learn English. This is not a model for America, and Bush, by telling people it is, is essentially telling voters who want foreigners to assimilate not to vote for him. Bush repeatedly talked about the need to hasten economic expansion, calling for 4% economic growth. But such a growth rate is impossible when a country imports tens of millions of people with no skills, many of whom are illiterate in their own language, and many of whom end up on welfare. Obama gives free pass to businesses that hire illegals. President Obama took office vowing to go after unscrupulous employers who hire illegal immigrants, but worksite audits have plunged over the last year and a half, according to a report released Tuesday [6/16/2015] by the Center for Immigration Studies, tumbling along with the rest of immigration enforcement. Fewer owners are being arrested, and fewer fines are being collected as well, according to the report, which suggests that even as he offers amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants, Mr. Obama is giving a similar free pass to ever more businesses who provide the jobs magnet that draws them. Carly Fiorina: No Citizenship 'If You Have Come Here Illegally and Stayed Here Illegally'. When it comes to immigration, "Everyone talks about comprehensive solutions, but nobody starts with the basics," Republican presidential hopeful Carly Fiorina told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Monday [6/15/2015]. "My own view is, if you have come here illegally and stayed here illegally, that you don't get a pass to citizenship." Fiorina's view differs from that of Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, all of whom advocate a more "comprehensive" approach, including eventual, earned legal status for illegal immigrants. Refugee Resettlement: A Clear and Present Danger to Our Nation. Most people would be shocked to know that America currently takes more refugees from the world's ghettos than all other refugee resettlement countries in the world combined. The State Department brags about it. Furthermore, most of those refugees are referred to the United States by the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The refugees (and the illegal aliens flooding the southern border from Central America) are then "resettled" by taxpayer funded "Voluntary Agencies" or VOLAGs as they are called. There are nine of them, six nominally religious, but all are in it for the money and top staff make high six figures. Together the VOLAGs are paid close to $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to resettle refugees. DHS agent says bosses tried to strip her gun rights. A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower testified Thursday [6/11/2015] that the "retaliation" against her for probing a controversial visa program was so extensive she was told she couldn't "carry or own a personal weapon" — a step she described as a constitutional rights violation, and just one of several ways she was punished for speaking out. Taylor Johnson, a senior special agent in the Homeland Security Investigations division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, testified at a Senate hearing alongside whistleblowers from several other agencies who claim to have faced similar harassment. DHS Agent Says She Was Stripped Of Gun, Nearly Lost Daughter After Blowing Whistle On Immigration Visa Program. A Department of Homeland Security agent testified Thursday that she nearly lost custody of her 1-year-old adopted daughter and was told that she could not own a personal firearm after she voiced concerns about a little known federal program that grants green cards to foreign investors. Taylor Johnson, a senior special agent with a division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), testified at a Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs hearing alongside several other whistleblowers who claim they've faced retaliation for reporting wrongdoing in their agencies. Revealed: The Secret Immigration Chapter in Obama's Trade Agreement. Discovered inside the huge tranche of secretive Obamatrade documents released by Wikileaks are key details on how technically any Republican voting for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) that would fast-track trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal would technically also be voting to massively expand President Obama's executive authority when it comes to immigration matters. Revealed: The Secret Immigration Chapter in Obama's Trade Agreement. Discovered inside the huge tranche of secretive Obamatrade documents released by Wikileaks are key details on how technically any Republican voting for Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) that would fast-track trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal would technically also be voting to massively expand President Obama's executive authority when it comes to immigration matters. Obama Admin Joins de Blasio To Promote Immigrant Citizenship: 'Opportunities To Vote, To Get A Better Job'. The Obama administration is joining forces with New York City and its Mayor Bill de Blasio to encourage immigrants to naturalize and become U.S. citizens. [...] According to USCIS, the agreement will establish so called "New Americans Corners" in the more than 200 public libraries in Brooklyn, New York and Queens where immigrants learn more about becoming a citizen and prepare for the naturalization process. Is It Time For A Moratorium on Immigration? President Obama's plans to save five million illegal aliens from deportation ran squarely into the law last month, as an appeals court panel upheld an injunction imposed by a federal judge in February after more than half the states sued. Consequently, the administration's elaborate mass amnesty operation has "kind of come to a screeching halt," National Immigration Law Center executive director Marielena Hincapie lamented. From Ted Kennedy's 1965 Immigration Act to Obama today, Democrats' policy on the issue has had one overriding goal: more votes for their party. Obama Admits He Put Executive Amnesty On Hold. During a press conference in Germany today [6/8/2015], President Obama admitted that he personally made the decision to put his actions on immigration on hold while the legality of his actions are being considered in court. "I made a decision, which I think is the right one, that we should not accept applications till the legal status of this is clarified," Obama said, admitting that although he was "frustrated" with the judge blocking his legislation, he didn't want to put illegal immigrants at a disadvantage. Obama said he's not giving up immigration fight: 'We are being as aggressive' as possible. President Barack Obama said he was "frustrated" by a recent district court's ruling regarding his executive action on immigration — but he's not done fighting. Speaking [6/8/2015] at a press conference at the G7 meeting in Germany of state leaders, told reporters that, "we are being as aggressive as we can legally, to appeal the district court ruling and then to implement those actions on executive actions that were not challenged in court." Obama on His Amnesty: 'The Law Is on Our Side'. Speaking in his weekly address yesterday [6/6/2015], President Barack Obama defended his unilateral actions that would allow illegal aliens to stay in the United States, work, and receive federal benefits. The "law is on our side," Obama said. Administration action on that amnesty is currently forbidden by an injunction issued by a federal court and upheld by a federal appeals court. Court Ruling Could Shut Down Feds' Detention Centers for Illegal Immigrants. After tens of thousands of migrant families, most from Central America, crossed the Rio Grande into Texas last summer, the government poured millions of dollars into two large detention centers meant to hold women and children — and keep more from coming. 25,098,000 Foreign-Born Workers Employed in U.S.A.. The number of foreign-born individuals holding jobs in the United States increased by 279,000 to 25,098,000 in May, according to data released Friday [6/5/2015] by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). In January 2009, when President Obama took office, there were 21,375,000 foreign-born workers employed in the United States. Since then, the number has increased by 3,723,000. In its data on foreign-born workers, the BLS does not distinguish between legal immigrants to the United States, who are permitted to work here, and illegal aliens, who are not. House Blocks Funding For Obama Legal Defense Of Exec. Amnesty. The House has approved legislation to prohibit the Obama administration from using funding to defend against the 26 states carrying out a legal challenge to the president's executive amnesty. The amendment to the Commerce, Justice, Science Appropriations Act, offered by Rep. Steve King (R-IA), passed on a vote of 222 — 204. Nineteen Republicans voted against the measure with a unanimous Democratic caucus. IRS confirms illegals can get back-taxes under Obama amnesty. IRS Commissioner John Koskinen has confirmed to Congress that illegal immigrants granted amnesty under President Obama's new programs could claim back refunds even when they never filed returns to pay their taxes in the first place. Sen. Chuck Grassley, who had pressed Mr. Koskinen over the issue, released written responses Wednesday [6/3/2015] in which the commissioner admitted he'd botched the question earlier and, in fact, illegal immigrants granted the amnesty will now be able to claim refunds on tax returns they never even filed, thanks to the Earned Income Tax Credit. California Senate OKs health coverage for many immigrants here illegally. The state Senate on Tuesday [6/2/2015] approved a hotly debated measure that would allow many immigrants in the state illegally to sign up for special healthcare programs that would offer the same benefits as Medi-Cal. The action comes just days after lawmakers significantly scaled back the plan, which originally would have offered state-subsidized Medi-Cal to people in the country without authorization. Poll Shows Noncitizens Can Shape Elections. A poll by John McLaughlin confirms again we may have a significant problem with noncitizens participating illegally in our elections. Based on a sample survey of 800 Hispanics in 2013, McLaughlin found that of foreign-born respondents who were registered voters, 13 percent admitted they were not United States citizens. [...] In 2014, a study released by three professors at Old Dominion University and George Mason University, based on survey data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study, estimated 6.4 percent of noncitizens voted illegally in the 2008 presidential election and 2.2 percent voted in the 2010 midterm congressional elections. Obama's Legacy: Immigration Anarchy. For patriots knowledgeable of the Immigration & Nationality Act, such as immigration judges, ICE attorneys, and litigators who fight for greater immigration enforcement like myself, the day President Obama told the American public he would "re-prioritize" the statute's mandatory removal provisions was one of astonished disbelief that still endures. Nowhere in the Act did Congress give the President the authority to "re-prioritize" illegal alien and criminal alien-removals. The INA is a deterring statute and it's been continuously amended to better deter illegal immigration since it was originally enacted in 1952. As the results of the 2012 and 2014 "executive actions" show, re-entries and recidivism among convicted criminal aliens (legal and illegal aliens convicted of crimes) has spiked and, as a result, we're pushing deeper and deeper into immigration anarchy. Unsurprisingly, Obama's lawlessness is leading to ever greater lawlessness. What is wrong with Democrats? Despite the federal courts checking of Obama's executive action regarding illegal immigrants, Hillary Clinton declared Obama did not go far enough when he gave millions of illegal immigrants de facto amnesty (reminder: Obama himself had said before he did not have the legal power to do so — a rare instance of his knowing and respecting the law, but it was a fleeting instant). Do any Democrats have a problem with Hillary Clinton stating that Obama's lawbreaking did not go far enough? But then again, most Democrats think illegal immigrants should have a right to vote. Univision keeping the lid on Democrats' coalition of victims. One key to the future viability of the Democratic Party is suppressing the serious conflicts of interest between its black and Hispanic constituents. The influx of 12 to 16 million mostly low-skilled labor force entrants across the southern border has driven down wages and employment opportunities for blacks. The single most effective means to raising incomes for those who sell low-skill labor would be to close the border and repatriate those who violated our laws in coming here. But Democrats need the votes of both blacks and Hispanics to sustain their coalition of purported victims, those needing to appropriate the income earned by others through welfare and redistribution programs in order to enjoy what they consider an acceptable lifestyle. So any consciousness among blacks that the influx of Hispanics is costing them opportunities must be suppressed. Obama Is Suspending the Law Designed to Deter Illegal Immigration. A key part of the Fifth Circuit's decision to keep the freeze on President Obama's amnesty programs was the 25-page dissenting opinion written by the panel's lone Obama appointee. Not only does it point to how the bloc-voting liberal justices of the Supreme Court will ultimately treat the case, it almost wholly focuses on the threshold issue of "prosecutorial discretion": an executive-branch power that, if expanded to include mass grants of amnesty, would remove the last vestige of authority that Congress and the courts have in preventing immigration anarchy at our nation's southern border. A Scare a Week Keeps the Populace Meek. First there were the nine thousand Central American children who were being smuggled through the border. Nine thousand, enough to make the American economy collapse. Then they were fifteen thousand, or may be forty thousand. Then they were not children but grown up teenagers, all tattooed members of Mexican gangs. Then they were 100,000 Mexican gang members being shipped into the United States. No one stopped to think, of course, that 100,000 is half the gang population of all of Mexico, and that there was very little strategic value for the Mexican gangs in moving such a large number of gang members from one country to another. The Obama Administration Was Handed a Huge Immigration Defeat. Here's Why It Matters. A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals handed the Obama administration a huge defeat this week. It denied the government's request for an emergency stay of a preliminary injunction blocking implementation of President Obama's immigration amnesty program. This is not a decision on the merits of the lawsuit filed against the administration by the 26 states. But it certainly does not bode well for the administration's case since in today's 2-1 decision, the 5th Circuit concluded that "the government is unlikely to succeed on the merits of its appeal of the injunction." The panel also denied the government's request to narrow the nationwide scope of the injunction so that it only applied to Texas and the other states in the lawsuit. Obama Won't Take Immigration Battle Directly to Supreme Court. President Obama's overhaul of the nation's immigration system, which he announced in a prime-time speech to the nation last November, may remain under a cloud of legal uncertainty until months before he leaves office in 2017, legal experts and administration officials said Wednesday [5/27/2015]. Officials from the Justice Department said in a statement that they would not ask the Supreme Court for permission to carry out the president's immigration programs — which seek to provide work permits and deportation protection to millions of undocumented immigrants — while a fight over presidential authority plays out in the lower courts. Why the Fifth Circuit Smacked Down Obama's Immigration Appeal. Once again, President Obama's unlawful amnesty push has suffered a legal blow, this time from a higher court. Yesterday [5/26/2015] the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Obama administration's request to lift a district-court injunction against its DACA and DAPA amnesty programs. The programs will now be kept frozen until a full hearing on the merits can be held. Because it will be well into campaign season by the time this takes place, the immigration issue should again play a prominent role in this coming cycle. Jorge Ramos Admits to Ann Coulter: Bring All of Mexico to Live Here. Conservative columnist and 10-time New York Times bestselling author Ann Coulter steamrolled Fusion host Jorge Ramos in an appearance Tuesday [5/26/2015] filled with dramatic moments, none more interesting than where Coulter got Ramos to admit he doesn't believe there should be a limit to how many Mexicans the United States will allow into this country — either legally or illegally. Texas Gov. Abbott declares victory over President Obama in amnesty fight. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott predicted Wednesday [5/27/2015] that the U.S. Supreme Court would ultimately reject a potential Obama administration appeal on the president's immigration executive actions and that Mr. Obama's actions are unlikely to actually go into effect before the president leaves office. "We're not even fighting in the court system about the legal validity of the order — we're just fighting in the court system about whether or not the executive order goes into effect while we're legally fighting about that order," Mr. Abbott said Wednesday [5/27/2015] on Fox News. "And I got to tell you, it would be highly unusual for the United States Supreme Court to grant the Obama administration's request and allow this executive order to go into place while we are still litigating it." Immigration Activists Vow Voter Repercussions Over Ruling. Immigration activists vowed Republicans will pay a political price after a federal appeals court kept President Barack Obama's action to defer deportation on hold. The 2-1 decision by a panel of the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday [5/26/2015] was a victory for opponents of Obama's plan to extend deportation protection and offer work permits to up to five million undocumented immigrants. The Editor says... Ruling puts Obama's immigration legacy in jeopardy. A series of setbacks and delays in the key legal challenge to President Barack Obama's executive actions on immigration could irreparably damage his legacy on the issue, even if the Supreme Court ultimately upholds his authority to act. The latest blow came Tuesday [5/26/2015] as a three-judge appeals court panel voted, 2-1, to deny the administration's request to proceed with Obama's plan to grant quasi-legal status and work permits to millions more illegal immigrants while litigation over those actions plays out. Judge Napolitano: Judicial Slapdowns of Presidential Actions "Rare" In American History, Raises Specter of "I" Word. In another major blow to the president's executive amnesty program, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused Tuesday [5/26/2015] to allow its implementation. The decision could affect as many as 5 million illegal immigrants. But the White House remains unchastised, claiming that the judges who voted against the administration "chose to misinterpret the facts and the law." Appeals court rules against Obama on immigration program. A federal appeals court on Tuesday [5/26/2015] refused to allow one of President Obama's signature immigration proposals to move forward, throwing into doubt whether the program will even begin before the president leaves office. In a split 2-to-1 decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit in New Orleans denied the Obama administration's emergency request to lift a lower court's injunction on an initiative to defer the deportations of illegal immigrants and grant them work permits. President Obama's legacy is increasingly in legal jeopardy. President Obama's second-term agenda, it seems, is in the hands of the courts. Same-sex marriage. Obamacare. Climate change. And now immigration. And in many cases, there is significant doubt about whether his signature initiatives will stand legal scrutiny. The latest blow to Obama's second-term plans came Tuesday [5/26/2015] when a federal appeals court in New Orleans denied the administration's request to move forward with implementing his expanded executive action on immigration to defer deportation for millions of undocumented immigrants. Walker: We'd Be Sending in Navy to Stop Illegals if They Were Swarming Our Sea Ports Like They Do Southern Border. Republican Party 2016 primary frontrunner Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker told Breitbart News exclusively that if the invasion of illegal aliens that's currently swarming across America's southern border were coming in via America's sea ports, the government would be sending in the Navy to stop it. Instead, the federal government — despite not having to at all — chooses, he says, to leave the U.S. border with Mexico wide open. Court Slaps Obama With Constitution: Amnesty Undermines "Constitutional Imperative of 'Uniform Rule of Naturalization'". The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit dealt a stinging rebuke to President Barack Obama today [5/26/2015] when it refused a call from his administration to overturn an injunction preventing the administration from moving forward with the president's plan to provide amnesty to as many as 4.3 million illegal aliens through its so-called "Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents" program. In its straightforward conclusion against the administration's claims, the court directly quoted the U.S. Constitution and the immigration law of the United States. Federal appeals court deals blow to President Obama's amnesty. A federal appeals court refused to lift an injunction against President Obama's deportation amnesty in a ruling Tuesday [5/26/2015] that delivers a second major legal setback to the administration and keeps millions of illegal immigrants on hold. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit sided with a lower court that ruled Mr. Obama probably broke the law in taking unilateral action last year to grant an amnesty from deportation. The three-judge panel, ruling 2-1, shot down Mr. Obama's hopes of quickly restarting the amnesty, and make it likely he'll have to go to the Supreme Court to try to win his case. Univision host: Hispanic vote to jump from 12 million to 16 million, will decide presidency. Jorge Ramos, the influential host of Univision's Noticiero Univision, said the Latino vote will decide the 2016 presidential election and that Hispanics could see a reward for providing the margin of victory. In an interview with Harvard University's Institute of Politics following a speech to students, Ramos predicted that about 16 million Hispanics will go to the polls, likely to vote Democratic based on past trends. He said that there is a "new rule" in politics — winning the White House can't be done without Hispanics." Illegals Angry at Hillary's Secret Service For Asking Their Legal Status! Here's a video from illegal alien advocates that kinda explains why so many Americans are annoyed at the attitude from some illegal aliens. In it a bunch of "Dreamers," or those that received special asylum from Obama's unconstitutional amnesty order, get annoyed at Hillary's Secret Service detail. [Video clip] Texas demands Obama prove he's halted deportation amnesty. Texas asked a federal judge Wednesday [5/20/2015] to consider imposing a fine on the Obama administration lawyers who misled the court over President Obama's amnesty, filing papers saying the Justice Department is still trying to hide details of how Homeland Security botched the rollout of the program. Immigrants applying to enter US legally facing longer waits. The waiting list for those trying to enter the U.S. legally now stands at 4.4 million, 100,000 more than last year. Some have been on the list for more than 15 years. Even though the spouses and children of U.S citizens are supposed to get priority, even their wait times have jumped from as little as two months to up 18 months as the administration deals with a surge of illegal immigrants given lawful status by president Obama. Deportations [are] Not A Problem Beyond U.S. Borders. Most U.S. politicians think deporting illegals is out of the question. But this is at odds not only with what the public wants but with a can-do deportation stance globally. Is he bragging or complaining? Obama seeks to end immigration enforcement by local, state police. The administration issued a report Monday [5/18/2015] saying that in order to rebuild trust between police and their communities, the federal government should stop enlisting state and local police in most immigration enforcement, setting up another challenge as President Obama tries to please immigrant rights advocates while carrying out deportations. Homeland Security's 'The Dog Ate My Homework' Excuse for Violating Amnesty Injunction. The Department of Homeland Security is blaming a "technology glitch" for approving thousands of work authorization permits, allowing illegal aliens the right to hold a job in the US for three years, despite an injunction issued by a federal judge that prevented them from doing so. 445,000 awaiting a court date, which might not come for 4 years. Driven by last summer's surge of illegal immigration from Central America, the already large backlog in federal immigration courts has reached an all-time high, with more than 445,000 pending cases, according to a new report. As of April, the backlog hit 445,706 cases, a nearly 30% increase since Oct. 1, 2013, the start of the last fiscal year, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. Language, borders and culture: A meditation. Isn't it funny that 16th century Europeans arriving in North America are called settlers, but 21st century Mexicans arriving in the United States are migrants? And how many times do you suppose that new waves of "Indians" (i.e., Asian migrants) "settled" in North American or even South American lands previously occupied by earlier "migrants"? Not to mention, all of the times when tribes of Indians conquered each other and took over not just their resources, but also their women and children. Migrants are nothing more than settlers who are looked upon favorably. In the language of the left, settlers or colonialists are evil white people, whereas migrants are oppressed minorities. Yet today, I know of no one who is advocating colonization of foreign lands by Europeans, Russians, Chinese, or the United States, so the rhetorical weapons aimed at "white Euro-centric colonial powers" by the left are firing blanks. Immigration courts reportedly have 445,000 pending cases. The already backlogged federal immigration courts have reportedly reached an all-time high with more than 445,000 pending cases. The Los Angeles Times, citing the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University, reports that as of April, the backlog hit 445,706, which is a nearly 30 percent increase since Oct. 1, 2013. Immigration courts have been overwhelmed since the influx of more than 68,500 unaccompanied children and about as many family units crossing the southern border, most of them from Central America. DHS blames tech glitch for violating judge's amnesty injunction. The Obama administration blamed a technology glitch for why it continued to approve new amnesty applications in February, even after a federal judge issued an injunction, telling the court late Friday [5/15/2015] that they are now begging about 2,000 illegal immigrants to tear up their three-year work authorizations. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the Homeland Security agency that approved the deportation amnesty applications for Dreamers despite the judge's order, insisted it's corrected the immigrants' records at headquarters, but said it's also asking the immigrants themselves to send back their three-year documents and accept two-year papers instead. Defense Bill Should Not Allow Illegal Aliens to Enlist in the Military. Despite the fact that the U.S. House of Representatives has voted down repeated attempts to encourage the recruitment of illegal immigrants into the military, we are seeing yet another attempt to encourage such recruitment recently inserted into a must-pass defense funding bill. Even worse, the push to recruit illegal immigrants is happening at a time when U.S. citizens are being downsized from the military or turned away by recruiters. Republican Lawmakers Urge Court to Block Immigration Expansion. More than 100 Republican members of Congress urged a federal appeals court Monday to block the Obama administration's sweeping new immigration policies such as deferred deportations. The 25 senators and 88 representatives told the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit that the policies go beyond the president's power because they create a new class-based program. That class would be the roughly four million parents — their children are U.S. citizens — who are illegally in the country, the brief states. Myths about LA County's Successful 287(g) Program. On Tuesday, May 12, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors is set to vote on a proposal to end its longstanding and successful 287(g) partnership with ICE, which is one of the largest in the country. Activists for illegal aliens are pulling out all the stops to pressure the board members to cancel the program and have sent a barrage of emails and phone calls in favor of fewer criminal alien deportations. 113 Republicans back lawsuit against Obama's immigration actions. Top Republicans in Congress on Monday [5/11/2015] entered the court battle over President Obama's latest moves to ease deportations for immigrants living in the country illegally. Texas and 25 other states have challenged the legality of the unilateral actions, arguing that the president overstepped his executive power with programs halting deportations and granting work permits to certain groups of illegal immigrants. Obama Administration Admits Breaking Judge's Amnesty Injunction. The Obama administration violated U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen's injunction halting President Obama's executive amnesty programs, Justice Department lawyers have admitted to the court, according to the Washington Times. The Times reports that in a late night filing Thursday, Justice Department lawyers revealed that the Department of Homeland Security had issued some 2,000 three-year work permits (as opposed to the currently permissible two-year permits) to illegal immigrants granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). Obama Cheapens the Legacy of Our Fallen Heroes. They died defending our country. They died that their sons and daughters and loved ones would be safe in their country. They died that their sons and daughters and loved ones rights and privileges as citizens would be preserved — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And now Obama is cheapening their sacrifice. By administrative legislation, Obama is attempting to give the most precious right of citizenship — the right to vote — to illegals who don't [care] about the sacrifices of our fallen heroes. Remittances to Mexico Rise 4.9% in Q1. Remittances sent to Mexico by emigrants totaled $5.7 billion in the first quarter, up 4.9 percent compared to the same period last year, the Bank of Mexico said. The average remittance was $297.53 in the January-March period, up slightly from the $296.10 average registered in the same period in 2014. Hillary's Foolish Amnesty Double Down. If the current objective of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign is to give possible liberal challengers as little room to maneuver as possible then her remarks on illegal immigration yesterday [5/5/2015] was smart politics. The former secretary of state not only embraced President Obama's extralegal executive orders granting amnesty to millions of illegals but also went further signaling her support for an easy path to citizenship for all 11 million people currently in this country without permission. By tilting to the left in this manner, Clinton believes she is making it harder for a credible opponent to outflank her with the base of the Democratic Party. Even more, she appears to think that by doubling down on amnesty, she is guaranteeing a heavy Hispanic turnout in 2016 that will vote for her over any possible Republican rival. Center For Immigration Studies Unveils Interactive Map Of Immigrant Removals By County. The interactive map, created by CIS experts Jessica Vaughan and Byran Griffith and released Wednesday [5/6/2015], reveals the counties with the most removals were Los Angeles County, CA with 35,750 removals, Maricopa County, AZ with 27,361 removals, and Harris County, TX with 25,564 removals. Hillary can't top Obama's immigration amnesty: White House. The White House suggested Wednesday [5/6/2015] that Hillary Rodham Clinton's vow to expand President Obama's immigration amnesty would exceed current presidential authority. "The president was determined to use as much of his authority as he could," White House press secretary Josh Earnest said when asked about Mrs. Clinton's campaign promise to expand amnesty to illegal immigrant parents of children allowed to stay in the U.S. "The president's views on this have not changed." But asked specifically whether expanding Mr. Obama's amnesty policy would be illegal, Mr. Earnest replied, "That would be something for future presidents, and ultimately future courts, to decide." Hillary Clinton says Obama's immigration orders are 'just the beginning'. Hillary Rodham Clinton threw down the immigration gauntlet on Tuesday [5/5/2015] and pledged that she would extend President Barack Obama's executive orders past their current boundaries if she were to succeed him in the White House. 'I will fight for comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship,' she told a Las Vegas roundtable of illegal immigrant high school students, including one who said he was transgender and another who identified herself as a lesbian. Hillary Clinton goes all in on immigration; pledges to outdo Obama. Hillary Clinton held a Cinco de Mayo event with illegal immigrants in Nevada Tuesday — "an especially appropriate day for us to be having this conversation" — in which she promised to go farther than President Obama in using executive authority to confer legal status on illegal immigrants, and to ultimately to award them U.S. citizenship. No matter what Republicans might offer to illegal immigrants in terms of legal status, Clinton said, she will offer more. Changing the immigration system will be a top priority should she become president, Clinton said. "We can't wait any longer. We can't wait any longer for a path to full and equal citizenship." How Civilizations Collapse — Is U.S. Next? Our laws are becoming as politicized as our tax system. Whatever one thinks of illegal immigration, it's undeniable that under the Obama administration, federal immigration law enforcement is now predicated on politics. The law as it was written suddenly has ceased to exist — at least for particular groups at particular times and places. In the last six years, the enforcement of federal laws has depended on their apparent political utility. Clinton To Endorse Path To Citizenship For Illegal Immigrants. Hillary Clinton will endorse a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants during a campaign stop at a Nevada high school Tuesday [5/5/2015], according to reports. Politico's Playbook reports that during a roundtable at the majority Hispanic Rancho High School, Clinton is expected to call for a comprehensive immigration reform plan that includes "nothing less than a full and equal path to citizenship" for illegal immigrants. Clinton speaks forcefully for path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Staking a strongly liberal position on the divisive issue of immigration, Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday [5/5/2015] that she wants to ensure that illegal immigrants can gain full citizenship under a reform of the patchwork system and the limited protections President Obama has put in place in the meantime. Republicans want to make sure immigrants can never be more than "second-class" Americans, the Democratic presidential candidate said in sharply partisan remarks that could shake up the presidential contest by pushing immigration to the fore. The Editor says... Hillary Clinton Just Told Immigration Activists What They Wanted to Hear. What activists really wanted to know ahead of the speech was whether Clinton was prepared to pick up where Obama left off on executive actions. She gave them an answer. "I will fight for comprehensive immigration reform and a path to citizenship for you and for your families across our country," she said Tuesday [5/5/2015]. Poll Shows Voter Support For Tough Border Controls. Fully 77% of the 1,000 likely U.S. voters that Rasmussen polled say that illegal immigration is a serious problem. Only 19% say that it's not. And 63% think that gaining control of the border is more important than "legalizing the status of undocumented workers" already here. Two things jump out: One, 58% of Americans believe that providing a pathway to citizenship for those already here will serve as a magnet for future illegal immigration. And 63% say that the military should be used to prevent illegal immigration along our border with Mexico. Texas Attorney General: DOJ Brazenly Disregarded Judge's Order in Executive Amnesty Case. The Texas Attorney General has accused Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyers of committing a "brazen disregard for a legal order" in the case filed against President Obama's executive amnesty plan. This comes after a judge issued government lawyers a scathing written rebuke and ordered the Federal Government to produce documents showing who was responsible for making misrepresentations to the Court during the litigation. The rebuke was directed at the representatives of the DOJ and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Rubio: 'There Is No Right to Illegally Immigrate'. Senator Marco Rubio is "increasingly optimistic" that he'll win the 2016 presidential election, but he understands that he'll have to overcome the conservative frustration with his work on the "Gang of Eight" immigration bill to do so. "You don't have a right to illegally immigrate here," the Florida Republican said during a discussion with NR's Jim Geraghty at the National Review Institute's Ideas Summit in Washington, D.C. this morning. Rubio made the statement while discussing changes that he would make to the Gang of Eight bill if he were to take on immigration as president. Obama Admin. Won't Let States Ask for Proof of Citizenship — On Voter Registration Form! Non-citizens are voting in American elections, and the federal government refuses to do anything to stop it. Worse, the current administration seems to be doing everything they can to prevent the states from trying to stop it. First, they sued states that asked people to present ID before voting. Now, the administration will not let states even ask people to establish they are citizens when they register to vote. Expert: Up to 400K Children Born To Illegal Immigrants in U.S. Annually, One In 10 Births. Approximately 350,000 to 400,000 children are born to illegal immigrants in the U.S. each year. Due to current policy, all automatically become U.S. citizens, Center for Immigration Studies legal policy analyst Jon Feere testified before a House panel Wednesday [4/29/2015]. House Republicans try to gut a key American principle. The Civil War era's 14th Amendment, granting automatic citizenship to any baby born on American soil, is a proud achievement of the Party of Lincoln. But now House Republicans are talking about abolishing birthright citizenship. A House Judiciary subcommittee took up the question Wednesday afternoon [4/29/2015], prompted by legislation sponsored by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) and 22 other lawmakers that, after nearly 150 years, would end automatic citizenship. The Editor says... Immigrant Removals Continue to Decline Under Obama. The Obama administration is on pace to deport the fewest number of immigrants in nearly a decade, according to internal government data obtained by The Associated Press. The Strange Case of Modern Immigration. Is immigrating from less-developed countries to the West a good or a bad thing, for host and guest? Is the immigrant angry at, or nostalgic for, the country he left? Is he thankful to or resentful of the country he has come to? Does the Westerner know why the other seeks him out or why he himself chooses not to emigrate to the non-West? These questions and dozens like them are not so much never answered as never even asked. The result is chaos. CBP Wants $134.5M for Anticipated 'Future Influx' of Illegal Alien Children. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) included $134.5 million in "contingency" funding in its budget request for Fiscal Year 2016 to deal with a "future influx" of up to 104,000 unaccompanied alien children, or "UCs," who may cross the border into the United States illegally next year. Alternate headline: Mexico is running low on freeloaders, drunks and violent criminals. The Editor says... Confirmed: Illegals Flown Here via Obama Amnesty will be Eligible to Milk the Welfare State. Not only will you have to pay for Obama to jet illegals here from Central America, but when they get here they will be eligible for every single welfare program we have. Why? Because they will be considered refugees when they get here and thus will be able to apply for everything: George Soros Funding Plan to Naturalize Millions of Immigrants for the 2016 Elections. George Soros is planning to bribe up to 13.8 million legal immigrants to become citizens before the 2016 election. They will find you, teach you about the naturalization process and even pay your $680 dollar naturalization fee. And once you are finished, you will get a fresh supply of democratic campaign literature and an application for food stamps. Soros will fund the campaign through his Open Borders group. Not to be left out, Obama is also getting involved. He set up a program called, the White House Task Force on New Americans. The White House And Soros-Backed Open Borders Group Strategize About Bribing Immigrants To Naturalize Before 2016. Last week, the White House Task Force on New Americans held a briefing at the Soros-funded, pro-open borders Migration Policy Institute to push its new "Strategic Action Plan on Immigrant & Refugee Integration." The Task Force, which seeks to ramp up naturalization rates among non-citizens, grew out of one of the dozen bombshell memos dropped on the American public after the midterms last year. Although barely discussed, it may be the most important memo released that day, even more so than Obama's twin amnesty programs and the 'New Priorities on Deportations' memo which rewrote the Immigration and Nationality Act. Homeland Security Working Overtime to Add 'New Americans' by 2016 Election. President Obama's amnesty by edict has always been about adding new Democrats to the voter rolls, and recent action by the Department of Homeland Security provides further proof. Sources at the Department of Homeland Security report to PJ Media that the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services is reallocating significant resources away from a computer system — the "Electronic Immigration System" — to sending letters to all 9,000,000 green card holders urging them to naturalize prior to the 2016 election. This effort is part of the DHS "Task Force on New Americans." Immigration agency: Single Hispanic females deserve asylum in U.S.. Being a single mother or witnessing a gang crime could be enough for Central American illegal immigrants to get on the path to asylum under guidance the Homeland Security Department issued last week, opening new ways for the surge of illegal immigrants to gain a legal foothold in the U.S. The guidance, a 27-page training document from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, says women who flee Central America because they fear being single heads of households can be deemed part of a targeted social group and can make claims of "credible fear" of being targeted in their home countries. Obama and the Media Still Hiding Immigration Agenda. Immigration reform is often presented by the media in terms of the human cost, and the alleged inhumanity in not allowing these persons to stay in the United States. The liberal media therefore, delight in pointing to any evidence they can find suggesting hypocrisy on the right on this issue and ignore the blatant abuses by the Obama administration in pursuit of his amnesty agenda. News coverage of the recent hearing before the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals ignores the fact that the Obama administration misled a lower court judge, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen, about the implementation of the Department of Homeland Security's, and therefore President Obama's offer of "temporary legal status to millions of illegal immigrants, along with an indefinite reprieve from deportation." CRS Report: Wages Declined As Immigration Surged. Wages and share of income for the bottom 90 percent of American wage-earners declined over the past 40 years, as the foreign-born population increased dramatically, data requested by the Senate Judiciary Committee shows. Since 1970, the foreign-born population of the U.S. increased 325 percent, the Congressional Research Service found, while wages for the bottom 90 percent of earners decreased by 8 percent and their share of income by 16 percent. Congress: Middle class incomes drop as immigration surges. Wages of America's middle class have dropped below 1970s levels as immigration has surged 325 percent, according to a new congressional report that questions claims that native Americans are economically helped by greater immigration. The nonpartisan Congressional Research Service report studied immigration and middle class income from 1945-2013 and found that as immigration slowed between 1945 and 1970, American incomes increased. Poll: No, Obama doesn't have authority to grant amnesty. Already under attack in courts to mapping a plan to exempt up to 5 million illegal immigrants from deportation, now the public has turned on President Obama, with the highest number ever saying that he doesn't have the legal authority to do what he wants. A new Rasmussen Reports poll released Tuesday [4/21/2015] said that 59 percent of voters believe the president doesn't have legal standing while just 25 percent say he does. Census: Record 51 million immigrants in 8 years, will account for 82% of U.S. growth. Legal and illegal immigrants will hit a record high of 51 million in just eight years and eventually account for an astounding 82 percent of all population growth in America, according to new U.S. Census figures. A report from the Center for Immigration Studies that analyzed the statistics said that by 2023, one in seven U.S. residents will be an immigrant, rising to one in five by 2060 when the immigrant population totals 78 million. The report was provided to [the Washington Examiner] and released Wednesday evening [4/22/2015]. ACLU sues feds in bid to make Catholic groups provide abortion to illegal immigrants. Providing food and shelter to illegal immigrants isn't enough for federally-funded Catholic organizations, according to the American Civil Liberties Union, which is suing the federal government to help ensure the religious organizations provide abortion and contraception to them as well. The suit aims to obtain government records related to reproductive healthcare policy for unaccompanied immigrant children in the care of federally funded Catholic agencies, which do not believe in abortion. Americans Don't Want More Immigration... and They're Right. The level of immigration in total numerical terms is currently at an all-time high, compressing wages and reducing employment (for both US-born and immigrant workers). Immigration levels have quadrupled from less than 10 million in 1970 to more than 40 million today — a period of long-term wage stagnation (real wages are lower today than in 1973). As a share of the population, the percentage of foreign-born will exceed all historical records beginning in eight years' time and will keep exceeding all historical records every subsequent decade. Federal judge denies request to lift hold on Obama immigration action. A federal judge in Texas denied a Justice Department request Tuesday [4/14/2015] to lift his temporary hold on President Obama's executive action shielding potentially millions of illegal immigrants from deportation. U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen refused to set aside his Feb. 16 decision granting a preliminary injunction requested by 26 states. The U.S. government wants the injunction lifted — allowing Obama's action to proceed — while it appeals Hanen's ruling to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court in New Orleans. In his order Tuesday [4/7/2015] denying the government's request, Hanen said the government hasn't "shown any credible reason for why this Directive necessitates immediate implementation." Obama immigration order back in federal court. Demonstrators gathered outside a New Orleans federal courthouse on Friday [4/17/2015] as President Obama's efforts to overhaul the country's immigration system dangled in legal limbo. Justice Department lawyers urged a federal appeals court to lift an injunction on a plan that would let up to 5 million illegal immigrants live in the country, obtain work permits and receive other benefits. In February, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen granted a preliminary injunction at the request of 26 states that oppose Obama's action. Court chilly to Barack Obama immigration moves. A federal appeals court signaled Friday [4/17/2015] that it is unlikely to allow President Barack Obama's request to go ahead with a new round of relief for illegal immigrants, making it likely that the White House will have to take its legal case to the Supreme Court within days. The oral arguments before the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans were being closely watched by both sides in the heated immigration debate as a sign of whether the administration will be able to move forward with its plan to grant quasi-legal status and work permits to about 4 million illegal immigrants. In Spanish Interview, Marco Rubio Says It's 'Important Not To Cancel' Obama's Executive Amnesty. Florida U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio offered a measure of support for President Obama's first executive amnesty program, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, during a recent interview he conducted in Spanish this week with Univision's Jorge Ramos. Rubio's comments mark a reversal of sorts from criticism he offered of DACA last year, and they also put him at odds with the conservative Republican base, which he will need in his corner if he hopes to win the 2016 GOP presidential nomination. 5th Circuit Court Of Appeals Hears Obama Immigration "Executive Action" Appeal. Federal appeals judges on Friday [4/17/2015] peppered lawyers on both sides with questions in a fight over President Barack Obama's move to shield millions of immigrants from deportation. Report: FBI Holds Special Meeting in Juarez on Press Strategy to Deny Judicial Watch's Reporting About ISIS on the Border. The government watchdog group Judicial Watch is not backing down from its report about ISIS training camps on the border amid Obama administration denials. In a new report, up at its website today, Judicial Watch reports that a "high level intelligence source" has confirmed that FBI supervisors called a special meeting at the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juárez. The source, who "must remain anonymous for safety reasons," told Judicial Watch that the meeting was convened specifically to address a press strategy to deny their reports about terrorist activity on the border, and to figure out who is leaking the information to JW. AZ Sheriff: I Can't Get the Names of Criminal Illegals Released In My County. Pinal County, AZ Sheriff Paul Babeu (R) said that he cannot get access to the names of the nearly 500 criminal illegal immigrants released in his county on Tuesday's [4/14/2015] "Your World with Neil Cavuto" on the Fox News Channel. Feds Have Issued 541,000 SSNs to Illegal Aliens. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has issued 541,000 Social Security numbers (SSNs) to illegal aliens as a result of President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration in 2012. The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program — which the president created in the summer of 2012 and which instructs the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to give work permits to so-called "DREAMers" — has enabled more than half a million illegal immigrants to work legally in the United States, according to a letter from the SSA to Sen. Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.). FBI Holds "Special" Meeting in Juárez to Address ISIS, DHS Not Invited. Responding to Judicial Watch's report earlier this week of ISIS activity along the Mexican border, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) supervisors called a "special" meeting at the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juárez. A high-level intelligence source, who must remain anonymous for safety reasons, confirmed that the meeting was convened specifically to address a press strategy to deny Judicial Watch's accurate reporting and identify who is providing information to JW. FBI supervisory personnel met with Mexican Army officers and Mexican Federal Police officials, according to JW's intelligence source. The FBI liaison officers regularly assigned to Mexico were not present at the meeting and conspicuously absent were representatives from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Immigration Customs Enforcement Director Sarah R. Saldana Tells Congressman: We Follow Obama Rules, Not The Law. Those following the Obama Immigration Executive Action legal battles will note yesterday [4/15/2015] Congressman Young was asking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Saldana the exact same point outlined in Judge Hanen's rebuke of the White House. Steve King: Obama 'importing millions' of illegal immigrants to boost Dem vote. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) on Thursday [4/16/2015] said President Obama is using his executive actions to swell the ranks of Democratic voters with illegal immigrants. "To put it simply, the president is importing millions of illegal aliens who when they arrive here he thinks, and he's right, they are undocumented Democrats, and so the next phase of this is to document these Democrats so they can vote," he said on Virginia's "John Fredericks Show" radio program, according to BuzzFeed. Shocking images from cameras on Texas-Mexico border capture steady stream of illegal immigrants sneaking into the US. Cameras placed along Texas' 1,200-mile border with Mexico have captured the stream of illegal immigrants sneaking into the country on a daily basis. The network of more than 1,000 motion detectors, similar to those used to film wildlife, have been placed strategically in areas that have not been secured — here Mexican citizens can cross and evade capture with ease. Texas border cams yield tens of thousands of detentions. Texas' border with Mexico is really long: about 1,200 miles. That's farther than the distance between Houston and Chicago. And a lot of Texans don't like anything or anyone crossing without their permission. But even recent surges of troops and money, and hundreds of miles of barbed wire-laden wall, have been unable to secure the wide border region from the South Texas scrubland to the Chihuahua desert. So the state's Department of Public Safety has gone high tech to keep drugs and illegal immigrants out. Republican wants to make Obama's actions on immigration impeachable. Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) has authored a resolution that seeks to define President Obama's executive actions on immigration as impeachable offenses. The Yoho resolution defines impeachable "high crimes and misdemeanors" in a way that is clearly aimed at Obama's actions to unilaterally delay deportations for certain illegal immigrants. U.S. To Admit More Legal Immigrants In Decade Than The Combined Population Of 7 Major Cities. Unless Congress moves to limit current legal immigration rates, the U.S. will add at least 10 million more legal immigrants over the next decade — more than the combined populations of seven major cities, according to GOP staffers on the Senate's Immigration subcommittee. A chart the committee released Monday [4/13/2015] reveals that the populations of Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Denver, St. Louis, and Dallas together would not equal the number of new immigrants set to be admitted over the coming ten years. ICE Director: Agents Risk 'Termination' For Not Enforcing Obama's Immigration Policy. Sarah Saldana, director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), told members of the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday that ICE agents who do not enforce President Barack Obama's immigration priorities, outline in a Nov. 20 DHS memo, could be fired for not following an agency directive. Children Facing U.S. Deportation Allowed to Sue for Lawyers. A group of unaccompanied immigrant children who face deportation from the U.S. can proceed with a lawsuit to have government-paid lawyers represent them at their removal hearing. U.S. District Judge Thomas Zilly in Seattle on Monday denied the government's bid to throw out the American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit on behalf of the juveniles, saying the case can proceed over an alleged violation of the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of due process. More than A Half Million Social Security Numbers Issued To Illegal Immigrants Granted Amnesty. In a letter to Sens. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Ben Sasse (R-NE), exclusively obtained by Breitbart News, the Social Security Administration (SSA) reveals that by the end of Fiscal Year 2014 the Obama administration "had issued approximately 541,000 original SSNs to individuals authorized to work under the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy since its inception" in 2012. The administration said it did not maintain a count of the number of individuals who applied but were denied an SSN. The deception of the Obama Department of Justice. Throughout Barack Obama's tenure in the White House he's been accused of leading a lawless presidency and cheapening the rule of law through his Department of Justice. Many say these accusations are simply based in politics, but a closer look at the way the Department of Justice has handled multiple cases in federal court suggest misleading or lying to judges is a habit, not a mistake. Most recently, we've seen this happen in the case surrounding President Obama's executive action on illegal immigration. ACLU Demands Catholic Bishops Provide Abortions for Illegal Minors. Religious groups such as the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) are the target of an imminent ACLU lawsuit that hopes to order the federal government to release information about how the groups are awarded government funding contracts to assist illegal unaccompanied minors, yet refuse to allow the minors access to contraception and abortion. According to a press release, the ACLU states, "The U.S. government has committed to providing services to meet the basic needs of these teens. Reports indicate that between 60 and 80 percent of women and girls who cross the border are sexually active." Wanted: Straightforward Political Leadership On Illegals And Rule Of Law. A new poll shows voters want illegal immigrants aggressively deported, their gaming of the anchor-baby system put to an end and their welfare cut off. Yet the political class still isn't listening. Federal Judge Not Only Halts Obama's Lawless Amnesty Order, But Also Demands He Do This. The judge who put a halt to Obama's amnesty plans was being pressured to put aside his ruling by Obama's administration. But instead of bowing to pressure the judge demanded that Obama send his representatives to his courtroom to explain why they think they have the powers to even issue the amnesty and why they lied about what they've already done. Obama's team already admitted that they lied to federal Judge Andrew Hanen about what actions have been taken to push Obama's amnesty and the judge is furious about it. California Lawmakers Present Bills to Protect Undocumented Immigrants. A group of California lawmakers on Tuesday [4/7/2015] presented a package of measures to strengthen protection of undocumented immigrants and thus alleviate the "political paralysis" in Congress over approving immigration reform. "In California, there are about 40 million residents... of Mexican, Central American and Asian origin. So, today we're presenting a package of 10 measures to protect undocumented immigrants," Kevin de Leon, the Democratic president pro tempore of the California Senate, told Efe. Texas Judge Strikes Down DOJ Request To Lift Hold On President Obama Executive Action on Immigration Enforcement. Two judicial rulings yesterday [4/7/2015], one in Obama's favor and one against. However, the ruling released late last night shows a crafty piece of judicial chess. The first ruling yesterday was a 5th District Court of Appeals decision in Mississippi VS DHS. The 5th circuit ruled against the State of Mississippi, and in favor of the Obama DOJ, by essentially ruling the State failed to prove a burden of harm. Court declines to lift hold on Obama's immigration actions. A federal judge denied the federal government's request to lift a hold on President Obama's controversial immigration actions in an opinion released Tuesday night [4/7/2015]. Judge Andrew Hanen wrote that the government misled the court by revealing last month it had granted expanded work permit renewals to 100,000 illegal immigrants before the court blocked the administration from implementing its new policies. Obama deportation amnesty to remain halted. President Obama's new deportation amnesty will remain halted, a federal judge in Texas ruled Tuesday night [4/7/2015] in an order that also delivered a judicial spanking to the president's lawyers for misleading the court. Judge Andrew S. Hanen, who first halted the amnesty in February, just two days before it was to take effect, said he's even more convinced of his decision now, particularly after Mr. Obama earlier this year said he intends for his policies to supersede federal laws. Poll: Americans Want More Aggressive Deportation of Illegal Immigrants. The debate about President Obama's executive action on illegal immigration is ongoing and the issue is sure to be a hot topic on the 2016 presidential campaign trail, but a new Rasmussen Report shows the vast majority of Americans do not believe the federal government is aggressive enough with deporting illegal immigrants. The Editor says... NLRB educating foreign workers on union rights, critics see shield for illegal immigrants. Congressional investigators say they've uncovered another attempt by the Obama administration to aid illegal immigrants in the U.S. — this time, by teaching foreign workers lessons on union organizing. The National Labor Relations Board has entered into agreements with Mexico, Ecuador and the Philippines to teach workers from those countries in the United States their rights when it comes to union activity. The agreements reportedly don't distinguish between illegal and legal immigrants. But lawmakers are worried it's part of an effort to shield illegal immigrants specifically, by encouraging them to join a union and get protection. La
Raza Provides Illegal Aliens With Info on Where They Can Vote Illegally. La Raza, the
radical group supporting illegal immigration is providing a map that was created by the Washington
Post that explains where people can vote without providing an ID. This is an effort to circumvent
US law and allow illegal Arabic: Most Common Language of Refugees in America. According to the Refugee Processing Center, the State Department documents that the most common spoken language among refugees in America is Arabic. Out of the 11,300 refugees admitted to the U.S. this fiscal year, 4,430 speak Arabic. The Center for Immigration Studies noted the nation's legal and illegal immigrant population hit a record 41.3 million in the summer of 2013 — up 1.4 million since July 2010. The number of refugees and immigrants from the Middle East increased 13 percent between 2010 and 2013. Arabic is the Most Common Language of Refugees in America; 91% on Food Stamps. They also skip the paper work and go right to the welfare line. Funded by a government who loots its citizens. Taxation for Islamization. Impeach Obama and every criminal in Congress. Los Federales To Fly In Children From Central America For Illegals. Is it any wonder that "57% of Likely U.S. Voters think the policies and practices of the federal government encourage people to enter the United States illegally"? [...] I'm not surprised in the least by this action. I wouldn't even have been surprised had this occurred under President Bush, much less under Mr. Obama. The kids would be considered "refugees", hence, eligible for all sorts of government benefits, including food stamps and living expenses. Gov't program would fly in Central American children to join parents in US. Images of unaccompanied children flooding across the U.S.-Mexico border defined the immigration crisis last summer. Now, the federal government is intervening so these children won't have to make that trek — they'll get to fly into the U.S. instead. For free. A new State Department and Department of Homeland Security program seeks to stop the surge of immigrant children from Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador at the southern border by giving their U.S.-based parents the option to apply to have their kids picked up and put on a plane, without paying a penny. The Editor says... The Invasion Continues Apace. While taking custody of roughly 2,000 illegal alien juveniles per month since the start of the 2015 fiscal year last October, ICE reports removing well under 200 juveniles per month. The largest number of these (41 percent) were sent home to Mexico. The majority of illegal alien juveniles taken into ICE custody are ultimately released to family members in the United States, and only a small number are ever repatriated. About 90 percent of the recent Central American arrivals who had hearings scheduled last summer and fall failed to appear at their immigration hearings and have melted into the larger illegal alien population. Obama's Chicago Presidency. During the seven years when Obama faced election, reelection, and two midterm elections, he warned on over 20 occasions that it would be neither legal nor ethical to grant executive amnesties to illegal aliens. What was stunning about his refrain was the high-minded manner in which he disarmed his base by warning them that he could not act unconstitutionally. But once he faced no more referenda on his power, he cared little about polls that showed widespread disapproval of amnesty, and simply began issuing the sort of presidential fiats that he had correctly said he didn't have the power to issue. 'Dreamers' despair as Obama, Democrats abandon immigration activists. The heady sense of victory immigrant rights activists had last year after President Obama announced his deportation amnesty has faded in recent weeks as the advocates sense they've lost ground among the very Democratic leaders they were counting on to deliver at the national and state levels. The latest blow came over the weekend in New York, where Gov. Andrew Cuomo has scrapped plans for a state-level Dream Act granting in-state tuition to illegal immigrants as part of the budget — spawning a hunger strike from young illegal immigrants who expected him to come through. Justice Department appeals federal judge's hold on Obama's immigration action. The Justice Department urged a federal appeals court Monday [3/30/2015] to reverse a hold a judge placed on President Barack Obama's immigration executive action. Maternity Tourism: The Profitable Business of Having a Child in the U.S.. The United States grants citizenship to any person born in its territory, a constitutional provision that in recent years has promoted the creation and expansion of a new business: maternity tourism. With a neatly organized network of agencies and hotels, maternity tourism targets pregnant women, most of them Chinese, who want to give birth in the United States so their child will be a natural-born U.S. citizen. Birth tourism raids spark debate about citizenship, the 14th Amendment. There oughta be a law, Orange County readers said in calls and letters to the [Orange County] Register. There is. It's the 14th Amendment. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside." That's pretty clear to many. If you're born in the United States, you're a citizen of the United States. But some argue the 14th Amendment has been misinterpreted and needs to be changed in ways that reflect the political and technical realities of the 21st century. U.S. signed agreement with Mexico to teach immigrants to unionize. The federal government has signed agreements with three foreign countries — Mexico, Ecuador and the Philippines — to establish outreach programs to teach immigrants their rights to engage in labor organizing in the U.S. The agreements do not distinguish between those who entered legally or illegally. They are part of a broader effort by the National Labor Relations Board to get immigrants involved in union activism. Pew Researcher: Rate of Illegal Immigrant Males In Workforce 12 Percent Higher Than U.S.-Born Males. An illegal immigrant male residing in the United States is more likely to be gainfully employed than a male who is a legal immigrant or U.S.-born citizen, a senior demographer at the Pew Research Center think tank told lawmakers. In 2012, the most recent year for which data is available, an estimated 91 percent of illegal immigrant males were in the workforce. This compares to 84 percent of legal immigrant men and 79 percent of U.S.-born males, Pew Research Center demographer Jeffrey Passel in written testimony prepared for a March 26 hearing held by the Senate Homeland Security & Government Affairs Committee. Luis Gutierrez helpfully creates "toolkit" to aid illegals avoiding deportation. Congressman Luis Gutierrez (D-Illinois) clearly warned us a while ago that illegal immigrants would turn to unprecedented militancy if Barack Obama's executive amnesty plans were foiled. We may not have seen that yet, but since the plans in question have been put on hold, Representative Gutierrez is remaining busy trying to get everyone ready for the flood of new Americans in Waiting and to ensure their smooth transition. Immigrants filling the void as residents flee N.J. by the tens of thousands. Between 2013 and 2014, New Jersey lost at least 55,000 residents who left for other states, the continuation of a trend that's been going on for decades as people flee the state to retire, to seek a lower-cost of living and jobs in places that have been quicker to recover from the recession. But in the same span, more than 51,000 people have moved to the Garden State from other countries, at the same time reshaping the state's population and stabilizing its slow growth. Testimony: Obama's Executive Amnesties Violate Federal Law and the Constitution. Kris Kobach, the Kansas Secretary of State and former immigration advisor to U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, cited three reasons why the executive amnesties are unlawful: "(1) the executive actions do not comply with the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA); (2) even if they did comply with the APA, they would still be in direct violation of substantive provisions of federal law; and (3) even if they did not violate federal law, they would still be unconstitutional." Did you know Obama just took new executive action on immigration? This week President Obama took unilateral executive action — again — to change the nation's immigration laws. Almost no one noticed. Obama intends to make it easier to bring more foreign guest workers to the United States — likely at significant cost to workers already here — by loosening the rules governing something known as the L-1B visa program. Under the program, a multinational company with offices in the United States can move workers from abroad to live and work in the U.S. for as long as five years in what is known as an intra-company transfer. There are almost no rules concerning what those workers can be paid, so there is no barrier to a company firing American employees and bringing in workers from foreign facilities to replace them at much lower pay. Top Homeland Official Alejandro Mayorkas Accused of Political Favoritism. Deputy Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas tainted the image and integrity of the immigration program he oversaw by fostering "an appearance of favoritism and special access" in how the agency treated projects that would bring visas and Green Cards to wealthy foreign investors, a new report from the agency's Inspector General says.
The Editor says... NYT: 'Jealous,' 'Hoarding' Americans Should Let In 11 Million Immigrants Annually. The United States should absorb as many as 11 million immigrants each year into its economy, NPR "Planet Money" founder Adam Davidson writes in The New York Times Magazine. "Few of us are calling for the thing that basic economic analysis shows would benefit nearly all of us: radically open borders," he writes. His proposal would double the current U.S. population in only 29 years to over 637 million people. Rep. Gutierrez Preps Illegals for 'Dream Act' on Cross-Country Tour. U.S. Representative Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) isn't letting a judge's orders keep him from a cross-country tour that landed in Los Angeles this weekend, counseling illegal aliens on how to apply for Obama's executive actions on immigration — DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) and DAPA (Deferred Action for Parental Accountability) — and to stay in the country with newly minted legal status. At the first event, Gutierrez joined a sparse but lively crowd at the University of Southern California (USC), complete with copious amounts of materials regarding DAPA, DACA and AB60, California's illegal alien driver license program. Gutierrez: 'Only Person Who Can Deport' 11 Million Illegal Aliens Is 'Barack Obama'. Speaking at a press conference held by the National Hispanic Construction Association (NHCA) on Tuesday on Capitol Hill, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) said that President Barack Obama is the "only person" who can deport the estimated 11 million people who are in the United States illegally. Citing the lawsuit filed by the state of Texas challenging Obama's executive action to protect millions of illegal aliens from deportation, Gutierrez said it's the president who can enforce — or not enforce — immigration laws. Appeals court sets arguments on Obama immigration suit. A federal appeals court announced Tuesday [3/24/2015] that it will hold an unusual oral argument session next month on the question of whether to stay a judge's order blocking President Barack Obama from carrying out new immigration executive actions he put forward last year. The 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals said it will hold two hours of oral argument in New Orleans on April 17. The session is aimed not at the legal merits of the ruling U.S. District Court Judge Andrew Hanen issued last month, but on whether to grant the federal government's motion to put that order on hold while the appeal of his decision goes forward. 12,509 illegal kids already over border in second wave, just 1 in 6 returned. The next explosion of illegal teen border crossing is in full swing, but just one-in-six are being sent home, with most of the rest settled in the United States, according to new government figures. The U.S. Border Patrol agency reported that they have seized 12,509 illegals under age 18 since October, making it the second biggest surge in history after last year's unprecedented movement of unaccompanied youths across the nation's southern border. The Many Costs Of Obama's Executive Amnesty. Seeing as the costs will come due only after President Obama has left the White House, I guess he doesn't care how high those costs are. But the costs are horrendous, as just added up by our country's foremost authority on such things, Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation. Rector told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee last week that the lifetime costs of Social Security and Medicare benefits paid to the millions of immigrants to whom Obama is granting legal status will be about $1.3 trillion. Rector's calculation is based on his assumption that at least 3.97 million immigrants will receive legal status under Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents, and the average DAPA beneficiary has only a 10th-grade education. The Largest, Best Funded Voter Fraud Operation in US History Happening Before Your Eyes. Within the first couple of months of Obama's illegal immigration executive, at least ninety thousand Social Security cards were issued to illegal aliens. [...] Social Security cards are keys of the kingdom to illegal aliens. With them, they are able to access a number of all sorts of benefits, including the Earned Income Tax Credit, Social Security disability payments or Social Security's supplemental income program. The senators also want to know how much in benefits these illegals have collected. The senators have yet to connect the dots in Obama's real scheme. The Real Price of Lies. It is easy to understand why the administration is in a hurry to sign up as many people for its illegal amnesty as it can: The more beneficiaries there are, the more difficult it becomes to revoke the amnesty, even when it is confirmed as being illegal and unconstitutional. Judge Hanen already has sided with the states on a substantial issue, handing down that injunction he had been considering. Texas Judge Grills Obama Attorneys on Immigration Overhaul. Back in February, a federal judge in Texas enjoined the Obama Administration from rolling out its immigration overhaul via executive action. In the injunction, the court said that the Administration could not claim prosecutorial discretion (as it applies to illegal aliens covered under the proposed amnesty) because their plan confers benefits on those aliens not currently available under law. Instead, the court said that the Administration was effectively changing the law. Earlier this month, the same court that issued the injunction demanded that DoJ attorneys respond to allegations that the Administration was going ahead with its plans by granting expanded DACA benefits to more than 100,000 illegal aliens. Texas judge threatens Justice Department over Obama's immigration plan. A federal judge threatened Thursday to sanction the Justice Department if he finds that government lawyers misled him about the rollout of President Obama's plan to shield up to 5 million people from deportation. U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen, visibly annoyed, confronted a U.S. deputy assistant attorney general over previous government assurances on the timing of the program. 'Like an idiot I believed that': Judge blasts DOJ over immigration claims, threatens sanctions. A federal judge sharply scolded a Justice Department attorney at a hearing on President Obama's immigration executive actions, suggesting that the administration misled him on a key part of the program — and that he fell for it, "like an idiot." The testy court hearing was held Thursday [3/19/2015] in Texas by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen. The judge suggested he could order sanctions against the administration if he finds they indeed misrepresented the facts. Judge: Justice Department may face sanctions in lawsuit against Obama immigration action. The Justice Department might face sanctions if a federal judge determines its attorneys misled him about whether part of President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration was implemented prior to it being put on hold by the judge. Heritage: Amnestied Illegals to Get $1.3T in Social Security, Medicare. If implemented, President Barack Obama's executive actions granting temporary amnesty and federal benefits to nearly 4 million illegal aliens in the United States will end up costing American taxpayers about $1.3 trillion in Social Security and Medicare benefits, and about $20 billion more in retroactive tax credits, according to Robert Rector, senior research fellow for Domestic Policy Studies at the Heritage Foundation. Did DOJ and DHS lawyers lie to Judge Hanen? There has been a flurry of procedural developments in the lawsuit filed by 26 states in a Texas federal court against President Obama's amnesty plan for 5 million illegal aliens. On March 19, Justice Department lawyers — and officials of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) — will be in the hot seat at a hearing scheduled by Judge Andrew Hanen. Sitting in the dock, they will have to explain whether they misled (others might say "lied to") the court. Or, as Hanen put it in formal judge-speak: "be prepared to fully explain to this Court all of the matters addressed in and circumstances surrounding" the "Advisory" filed by the government on March 3. DHS: Executive Amnesty May Add $484 Million A Year. In response to an expense request from Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee, the USCIS, the DHS agency in charge of managing legal immigration to the U.S., presented a report on estimated costs of new facilities and hirings to accommodate the president's executive actions on immigration. Estimating that 60 percent of illegal immigrants who qualify will apply for the program, the USCIS said they expect to increase their planned hiring "up to a total of 3,100 new employees at an annual cost of $184.3 million, and total program costs of between $324 and $484 million per year." Border Patrol Agent: We are Punished for Reporting Illegal Alien Groups of More Than 20. A U.S. Border Patrol agent from the Rio Grande Valley Sector in Texas told lawmakers today that his fellow agents are punished for reporting illegal alien groups of more than 20. "Agents who repeatedly report groups larger than 20 face retribution. Management will either take them out of the field and assign them to processing detainees at the station or assign them to a fixed position in low volume areas as punishment," Border Patrol agent Chris Cabrera told a Senate panel. "Needless to say Agents got the message and now stay below this 20 person threshold no matter the actual size of the group." DHS: Obama Amnesty Could Need 3,100 New Bureaucrats, $484 Million a Year. If President Barack Obama's immigration plan gets past a federal court injunction, and if 60 percent of illegals apply for deferred action protection under the plan, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) agency projects that it may have to hire an additional 3,100 employees, with a total program cost of up to $484 million a year. Obama's Immigration Nightmare: Exponential Executive Lawlessness. I wonder whether most people truly understand the scope and import of Obama's lawless order to halt deportations and allow work permits for up to 5 million immigrants living illegally in the United States. Do they understand that he doesn't have the constitutional authority to do this? Do they understand that he admitted not having the constitutional authority to do this? Do they understand that Congress considered and rejected such action when it declined to pass the DREAM Act? Do they understand that under Obama's rule, these immigrants will be eligible for Social Security payments and even receive credit, in some instances, for sums they paid into the Social Security system while using fraudulent Social Security numbers? Robert Rector Estimates Lifetime Retirement Costs of Illegals Granted Executive Amnesty at $1.3 Trillion. The lifetime costs of Social Security and Medicare benefits of illegal immigrant beneficiaries of President Obama's executive amnesty would be well over a trillion dollars, according to Heritage Foundation expert Robert Rector's prepared testimony for a House panel obtained in advance by Breitbart News. The Obama Administration's Attack on the Constitution: Part 1, Immigration. Immigration is one of a number of areas where Barack Obama has trampled the Constitution without even the fig leaf of a plausible legal rationale. He has issued a series of executive orders that flatly contradict the nation's immigration laws, as enacted by Congress and signed by prior presidents. It is hard to imagine anything more flagrantly unconstitutional than Obama's planned issuance of millions of work permits to illegal aliens who are prohibited from employment by the federal statutes. A Better Plan. The lesson from the last 20 years of immigration policy is that lawlessness breeds more lawlessness. Once a people or a government decides to normalize one form of lawbreaking, other forms of lawlessness will follow until finally the rule of law itself is in profound jeopardy. Today, we have a constitutional crisis on our hands. President Obama has decided that because Congress has not granted amnesty to millions of illegal aliens living in the U.S., he will do so himself. Let us ponder for a moment just how shameless this assertion of power is. Court rebuffs Obama on immigration stay timing. A federal appeals court has turned aside the Obama Administration's proposal to accelerate its request for a stay of a lower judge's order blocking President Barack Obama's plan to give quasi-legal status and work permits to millions more illegal immigrants. The Justice Department asked the New Orleans-based 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals Thursday to shorten the time for states challenging Obama's immigration moves. Federal government lawyers asked that the states, led by Texas, have only seven days to respond. The states asked the court to allow the normal 10-day period to answer a stay request. In an order issued before 8 A.M. Central Time Friday [3/13/2015], the 5th Circuit sided with Texas and the other challengers on the timing issue, giving them until March 23 to weigh in. Obama demands appeals court restart amnesty, overturn 'wrong' federal judge. The administration asked a federal appeals court Thursday [3/12/2015] to let President Obama's amnesty go into effect immediately, calling a lower judge's ruling halting the amnesty "unprecedented and wrong," and saying illegal immigrants will suffer until the policy begins. Justice Department attorneys said Texas and 25 other states, in suing to halt the amnesty, should never have been granted standing in the first place. At the very least, they said, lower court Judge Andrew S. Hanen should have allowed the administration to approve applications from illegal immigrants in states that haven't objected. Reports: Vacations for illegals, Feds push illegal kids to front of line. Two new reports are adding controversy to the troubled immigration system, one detailing how U.S. officials are treating illegal youths to mini-vacations and another revealing that the administration is pushing aside proper immigration applicants from family members of Americans in favor of the recent wave of kids that flooded over the border. Quoting new United States Citizenship and Immigration Services documents, the Center for Immigration Studies said that the kids seen by Washington as education "Dreamers" are getting priority over applicants like the foreign spouses of Americans. Convicted illegal immigrants arrested in ICE sweep kept in US under Obama action. Federal agents in a sweep targeting the most dangerous criminal immigrants arrested 15 people who have been allowed to remain in the U.S. under President Barack Obama's executive action intended to protect children who came to the U.S. years ago with their parents, The Associated Press has learned. Birthright Citizenship: The New Immigration Scam. Immigration policy — and in particular what to do about the 11 million people in the U.S. illegally — is the new litmus test for the GOP. The arguments over "amnesty" and border security are stale, but the passions are not. Scott Walker is only the latest candidate to stumble over the immigration tripwire. Though previously supportive of providing a path to citizenship for undocumented residents, now the Wisconsin governor is talking up border security. Advice to candidates: maybe it's time for some new policy ideas, like demanding an end to our so-called "birthright citizenship." Feds allege major immigration fraud in L.A. trade schools. Authorities arrested the operators of four Los Angeles-area trade schools [on 3/11/2015] for allegedly running an elaborate "pay-to-stay" scam in which foreign nationals used student visas to stay in the United States without actually going to school. The schools appear to have tapped the booming Asian immigration population in Koreatown and the San Gabriel Valley. Authorities say the suspects took in $6 million a year in tuition payments. Obama's Not-so-Secret Immigration Operational Center. The folks at the Daily Signal have put together this great video showing how the Federal Government is preparing to implement Obama's Executive Amnesty. One of the most common defenses of the Republicans' capitulation on the DHS funding battle was that shuttind down DHS would not actually stop the program from going forward; this video shows (among other things) that this is absolutely not true: [Video clip] The Parties of Crony Capitalism and Corruption. Prior to the 2014 mid-term elections, Reince Priebus, the chairman of the Republican National Committee [...] said: "We will do everything we can to make sure it doesn't happen: Defunding, going to court, injunction. You name it. It's wrong. It's illegal. And for so many reasons, and just the basic fabric of this country, we can't allow it to happen and we won't let it happen. I don't know how to be any stronger than that. I'm telling you, everything we can do to stop it we will." Given what has transpired since the election, how eagerly the Republican leadership capitulated, if not enthusiastically facilitated the funding and implementation of Obama's "illegal" executive amnesty; one can easily conclude that Priebus must have known what he was saying was not true or he was completely out of touch with the plans of the Republican Congressional leadership. I think he was lying to get votes. Judge Wants New Judicial Investigation Into Obama's Secret Amnesty. The Texas judge who has temporarily blocked President Barack Obama's executive amnesty is delaying his final decision so he can investigate how the administration hid the award of three-year amnesties to 100,000 illegal immigrants. "Due to the seriousness of the matters discussed therein, the Court will not rule on any other pending motions until it is clear that these matters, if true, do not impact the pending matters or any rulings previously made by this Court," U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen wrote in a Monday [3/9/2015] decision. Federal Judge Orders Investigation of Illegal Acts By Obama Administration. U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen is not amused. The man who served Obama with an injunction preventing his illegal amnesty plans to see that Obama is not amused either. He has ordered that the administration be investigated over misleading him on amnesty and work permits for "Dreamers." The administration told the judge they wouldn't issue anymore work permits for new dreamers, when the fact is they have issued over 100,000 of them. The investigation will include a finding of whether the lawyers who handled the case for Obama knew of the illegal maneuver. If so, they will face disbarment or worse. Federal Judge Calls Obama Administration Back To Court To Explain Deception In Executive Amnesty. When Federal Judge Andrew Hanen previously blocked the implementation of Obama's sweeping immigration "executive action", the DOJ claimed nothing had been done to begin the rules change. However, they lied. From the time of the November 2014 President Obama announcement, to the February 2015 court ruling, the Department of Homeland Security had implemented rules to change the status of over 100,000 illegal aliens. Texas Fed Court orders U.S. to explain possible violation of immigration injunction. The Texas federal court that issued a temporary injunction halting Obama's immigration executive action has just ordered the U.S. government to respond to allegations by the plaintiff States that the U.S. misrepresented to the Court the status of granting deportation waivers, and may thereby be in violation of the court's temporary injunction. As explained by John Hinderaker at Power Line, the issue revolves around representations the government made to the Judge, representations called into question by an unexpected "advisory" filed by the U.S. government. It would be far better to spend a billion dollars on a massive border wall. NAACP Leader Slams Obama's Executive Amnesty: 'Our Kids Have Dreams Too'. A local NAACP president spoke out against how illegal immigrants are using up public resources that would have otherwise gone to people of color in the country legally on "The Laura Ingraham Show" Monday [3/9/2015]. Bob Ross, president of the Maryland Prince George's County NAACP, was on the show to discuss his efforts to lobby against Prince George County's efforts to create two high schools specifically for recent immigrants and dedicated to teaching students English. The local NAACP chapter is vocally against the proposal, with Ross calling it "separate but equal." Amnestied Illegals May Receive Social Security As Early As 2017. Illegal immigrants who take advantage of President Obama's executive actions on immigration will soon collect another benefit: Social Security. Starting in 2017, the Social Security Administration expects that thousands of undocumented immigrants will begin collecting from the Old-Age, Survivor's, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program as a direct result of the president's actions. In a letter to Republican senator Ron Johnson, chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, the SSA's chief actuary Stephen Goss indicated that an additional 16,000 people will begin collecting OASDI benefits come 2017, and that the number of beneficiaries would continue to increase for 40 years thereafter, topping out at 695,000 people. Goss's projection may underestimate the number of potential beneficiaries, however, as it assumes that 50,000 fewer illegal immigrants will enter the country each year starting in 2016. Progressives, Including Obama, Misunderstand What Being a Nation of Immigrants Means. The president's claim that predecessors have used similar executive action to grant exemption to millions has no historical precedent. But he means something more: The long arc of American history points to a nation that is increasingly "diverse" and such "multiculturalism" will render these questions moot. Here's How Much Taxpayer Money Illegals Will Receive Via Obama's Amnesty. President Barack Obama's November amnesty will give $1.7 billion in taxpayers' cash to illegal immigrants, according to a congressional study. The news emerged two days after top Republican leaders overcame GOP opposition to a 2015 budget bill that allows Obama to fund his unpopular amnesty for roughly 5 million illegals. Obama administration asks judge to speed up immigration decision. The Obama administration asked a federal judge in Texas to decide by Monday [3/9/2015] whether he will put on hold his prior decision to block the White House's executive orders on immigration, or at least limit the impact to Texas. Obama's Ongoing Assault on the Constitution. Throughout his tenure in office, Obama has been exercising powers outside the scope of his constitutionally prescribed executive authority. [...] He not only granted virtual amnesty to millions in contravention of Congress' authority but also created new, substantive rights for the immigrants, from Social Security numbers to driver's licenses. These rights could have far-reaching and material consequences, such as giving tax credits to millions who have lived here illegally. If that doesn't outrage you, you don't have a pulse, or you think the Constitution should have no greater weight than the sheets of paper it can be printed on. Texas Leaders Seek Investigation into Obama Admin's Misrepresentation in Federal Court. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a motion for discovery on Thursday [3/5/2015] to investigate whether the Obama Administration misrepresented actions taken under President Obama's executive orders granting amnesty to illegal immigrants. Governor Greg Abbott and Lt. Governor Dan Patrick quickly issued statements of support of the call for an investigation. The issue revolves around admissions by the Administration that tens of thousands of work permits have already been issued to illegal immigrants, a direct contradiction to facts presented in federal court. Texas Gov. Abbott: White House Misled Federal Judge - Contempt of Court. Texas Governor Greg Abbot has already made a splash by getting a federal judge to stop Obama from granting amnesty to illegals through his executive command. But now it looks like he might have misled that judge, and Abbott is calling for the court to place him in contempt of court. More deported foreign nationals are returning to US illegally. For years, federal immigration authorities have hailed as an enforcement success the annual growth in deportations of foreign nationals who have been convicted of serious crimes or caught living or working in the United States without papers. What authorities have not highlighted is the simultaneous growth in the number of previously deported foreign nationals who have returned to the United States illegally either by sneaking through the porous Mexican border or by traveling on boats from the Bahamas to South Florida. Mexican Drug Cartels Caused the Border Crisis. Mexico's warring drug cartels helped orchestrate the massive influx of unaccompanied alien children that streamed through the Rio Grande Valley last summer, according to a leaked report from the Texas Department of Public Safety. Contrary to the narrative articulated by the Obama administration and promoted by major news organizations, the children did not enter the country entirely "unaccompanied." How, when, and where the alien children crossed into the United States appears to have been determined by transnational criminal organizations who exercise control over much of the southern border, according to the leaked report first obtained by the Houston Chronicle. White US children will be minorities by 2020 after immigrant 'baby boom', Census reveals. White children will be outnumbered by minority kids in the United States in just five years, new Census Bureau projections reveal. This is the result of an ongoing trend of declining birth among white Americans and a baby boom among immigrant groups, as well as a surge in immigration. By the year 2020, 50.2 percent of all children in the US are expected to be non-white, according to the Census. By 2044, whites will be outnumbered by minorities. Cruz Highlights Unfairness of Obama's Amnesty Towards Legal Immigrants. In Monday's [3/2/2015] Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) questioned U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officials about whether the agency was taking funds from fees paid by legal immigrants and diverting them to pay for President Barack Obama's executive amnesty program. Cruz also asked about how USCIS officials were complying with the recent temporary injunction issued by a federal district court judge in Texas, which was supposed to block the Obama administration from implementing the program. Obama Amnesty to Cost $484 Mil, Expand Workforce by 3,100 in New Compound. The U.S. government will spend nearly half a billion dollars, expand its workforce by 3,100 and open a 280,000-square-foot compound in Virginia to carry out President Obama's amnesty order, according to detailed government figures provided to Judicial Watch. The numbers are breathtaking and include a $647,590 monthly rent bill for a new facility at 2200 Crystal Drive in Arlington Virginia. It will be the processing headquarters for two Obama amnesty plans — Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) and Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) — that will allow millions of illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S. Last month a federal court in Texas blocked the amnesty order, but records show the administration is ready to pull the trigger if it succeeds in appealing the ruling. Our President and the Constitution: Barack Obama has gone rogue. Can the president rewrite federal laws? Can he alter their meaning? Can he change their effect? These are legitimate questions in an era in which we have an unpopular progressive Democratic president who has boasted that he can govern without Congress by using his phone and his pen, and a mostly newly elected largely conservative Republican Congress with its own ideas about big government. These are not hypothetical questions. In 2012, President Obama signed executive orders that essentially said to about 1.7 million unlawfully present immigrants who arrived in the U.S. before their 16th birthdays and who are not yet 31 years of age that if they complied with certain conditions that he made up out of thin air they will not be deported. Obama Amnesty Plan: Legalize Foreigners, 'Take Over the Host,' 'Push Citizens into the Shadows'. Obama's amnesty plan is to use illegal aliens as "seedlings," said the federal officials. They will "navigate, not assimilate," as they "take over the host," create a "country within a country" and start "pushing the citizens into the shadows." Welcome to the "fundamental transformation" of America. The above was alleged by WCBM radio co-host Sue Payne in an interview with talk giant Mark Levin Thursday last week. Payne says that while at an immigration rally, she became privy to three conference calls in which 16 Obama administration officials — including Cecilia Muñoz, director of Obama's White House Domestic Policy Council — discussed plans for what could only be called the final destruction of traditional America and the cementing of leftist hegemony. Obama Hid 100,000 Amnesty Approvals From Texas Judge. President Barack Obama's deputies hid the rapid-fire start of his November amnesty from the Texas judge who is now weighing the amnesty's legality. The cover-up was exposed March 3, the same day that top GOP leaders pressured GOP legislators to pass a toothless budget bill for the Department of Homeland Security, which doesn't block funding for Obama's unpopular and possibly illegal amnesty. Here's How Much Taxpayer Money Illegals Will Receive Via Obama's Amnesty. President Barack Obama's November amnesty will give $1.7 billion in taxpayers' cash to illegal immigrants, according to a congressional study. The news emerged two days after top Republican leaders overcame GOP opposition to a 2015 budget bill that allows Obama to fund his unpopular amnesty for roughly 5 million illegals. "The program could cost taxpayers $1.7 billion over 10 years, almost all of it in the first five years," according to a report by the McClatchy Washington Bureau. The rebates are allowed by the IRS' interpretation of existing laws governing the Earned Income Tax Credit program, which was designed to subsidize low-wage employment in the United States. The Constitution has Failed. Today [3/3/2015], thanks to servile Democrats and feckless Republican leadership, the system has revealed itself as finally and utterly broken. Forget for a moment how you feel about immigration policy. As it happens, my position is relatively close to the President's. Nonetheless, the authority to set immigration policy is clearly delegated to the Congress by the Constitution and Congress has spoken — repeatedly and exhaustively — on this subject. President Obama's Executive Order was not issued in a vacuum in which Congress had not acted, but instead was a direct declaration that the law would henceforth be enforced in a manner completely opposite from the written law on the books. Each and every person in Congress — Republican or Democrat, immigration hardliner or amnesty proponent, should have objected strenuously to this, if only for the sake of protecting the right of Congress to pass laws that will be enforced as written. Democrats Plan To Win Elections With Illegal Alien Votes. The Obama Democrats have an audacious scheme for winning future elections. They just plan to import 5 million non-citizens and credential them as voters who will, in gratitude, vote Democratic. The way this devious formula works is stunningly simple. Just get the new Republican Congress (under Speaker John Boehner and Sen. Mitch McConnell) to pass a full-funding bill for Homeland Security without any exception for the funding of Obama's illegal executive amnesty, which will allow Obama to give work permits, Social Security numbers and driver's licenses to 5 million illegal aliens. Is it okay for Obama to Ignore the Constitution? Dear Leader Barack Hussein Obama thinks it's permissible to rewrite federal statutes, like immigration laws and ObamaCare's employer mandate and signup deadlines. Example: Regarding laws governing U.S. immigration policy, when Obama signed the executive amnesty order barring prosecution (and subsequent deportation) of something like 4 million illegal immigrants, he said "I just took an action to change the law." He was never concerned that his action was illegal. He just saw 4 million Democrat voters. Obama's Executive Amnesty is Much, Much Worse than You Think. [H]owever bad you thought it was that Obama is seeking to unilaterally rewriting a law that is constitutionally within the exclusive purview of Congress, you will think this is much worse: the IRS has decided to allow illegal immigrants who receive social security numbers under the executive amnesty to get checks from the IRS for the earned income tax credit (EITC) for the last three years even if they didn't file or pay taxes for those years. USCIS Officials Reveal Feds Processed 7 Million Immigration-Related Applications in One Year. On Tuesday [3/3/2015], United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officials revealed that the agency processed nearly seven million immigration-related applications in just one year alone (fiscal year 2014). Because the agency does not have the resources to conduct in-person interviews with every applicant, officials noted that applicants for President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood (DACA) program did not have to go though face-to-face interviews before being granted temporary amnesty. Gutierrez: Chicago Has Made Sure 'We No Longer Cooperate with Immigration Authorities'. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) says Chicago is the friendliest immigrant city in the nation since they, "made sure that we no longer cooperate with immigration authorities when it comes to the deportation or separation of our families." Gutierrez made the comments while speaking to the City Club of Chicago last week. The Editor says... Jeff Sessions on House Cave: The Fight 'Is Only Beginning'. Amid news that House Republican leadership intends to allow a vote on a so-called "clean" Department of Homeland Security funding bill, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) expressed dismay that Congress has surrendered its status as a co-equal branch and allowed President Obama's executive amnesty to go ahead unchecked. Democrats building a "country within a country" using 15 million illegals who they call "New Americans". [Scroll down] The conference calls and meetings surrounding the task force made it clear Barack Obama is planning to legalize and protect 13 to 15 million illegal immigrants who will then be moved onto citizenship. When these "new Americans" come out of the shadows, the communities in which they've been placed will be designated as "receiving communities." The "new Americans" are considered "seedlings" by the White House and the "receiving communities" are the "fertile ground" to nurture them, according to comments made during the meetings. Citizens will then be pushed into the shadows as the "New Americans" come out of the shadows. Obama Administration Just Gave Away a Million More 'Green Cards'. With the ink hardly dry on Federal District Judge Andrew Hanen's order slamming the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for trying to grant up to 11.7 million illegal aliens/undocumented workers "green cards," President Obama just instructed Homeland Security to offer "green cards" to H1-B holder spouses and children under 21 years old. GOP Surrender on Obama's Lawless Amnesty for Illegal Aliens Would Be a Profound Betrayal of the States. With the Republican surrender on President Obama's amnesty decree that I predicted over a month ago now taking shape, an appeal to duty may be futile. Nevertheless, it is still worth being blunt about this. The Beltway GOP's retreat would be a profound dereliction of duty — specifically, the duty that Congress owes to the states. The federal government, very much including Republican lawmakers and conservative judges, has systematically disarmed the states of their capacity for self-defense. The power to defend one's territory — including the power to remove aliens who have no legal right to be present — is an ineliminable component of sovereignty. The preservation of state sovereignty, in turn, is part of the core guarantee that induced the states to ratify the Constitution. At a minimum, then, federal law — made in Congress, where the states are represented — must preserve the sovereign right of states to protect themselves. Illegal Immigrants Amnestied By Obama Eligible For Up To $9,182 In Cash Benefits Every Year. Illegal immigrants who are given work permits and Social Security Numbers through President Obama's amnesty programs could get up to $9,182 in cash benefits from the federal government every year, according to a new later from the Congressional Research Service. Requested by an unnamed Senator, the CRS letter details the maximum Earned Income Tax Credit and and Child Tax Credit payments a family could receive from the Internal Revenue Service without paying any income taxes to the federal government. DHS Secretary Fails to Cite Any Law Authorizing Obama to Give Social Security Numbers to Illegal Aliens. When asked to do so at a Thursday press briefing, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson failed to cite any law that authorized President Barack Obama to give Social Security Numbers to illegal aliens. CNSNews.com asked Johnson: "A federal court in Texas v. United States has said giving an illegal alien a Social Security Number is not an act of prosecutorial discretion. What specific law gives the president the authority to give a Social Security Number to a foreign national in the country illegally?" White House Calls Immigrants 'Americans-In-Waiting'. The Obama administration has tested out a new term for immigrants living in America without legal working status: "Americans-in-waiting." The administration employed the new euphemism in an update on the president's executive amnesty actions posted by the White House Tuesday titled "Taking Action to Unlock the Economic Contributions of Americans-in-Waiting." In the announcement, the White House defends the president's actions on immigration as being "within his legal authority" and explains that their goal is to "lock in" the economic benefits of those immigrants qualifying for the program. Obama says he won't be deterred by 'one federal judge' on immigration. A confident President Obama said Wednesday he won't be stopped by "one federal judge," telling a Miami crowd he'll move ahead with his controversial executive action on immigration and vowing his administration will become even more aggressive in the weeks and months to come. [...] Mr. Obama took executive steps last year to halt deportations for millions of illegal immigrants, but a federal judge last week blocked the amnesty program, ruling that the president overstepped his authority. Obama: Immigration Will Reshape America's Politics. America's changing population should and will change American politics, President Barack Obama told a Spanish-speaking audience Wednesday [2/25/2015]. "At some point there's going to be a President Rodriguez, or there's going to be a President Chin. The country is a nation of immigrants, and ultimately, it will reflect who we are, and its politics will reflect who we are," Obama said during the MSNBC/Telemundo interview, held at Florida International University, in Miami. The nation's president said he looks forward to the fundamental transformation of America's population and politics. "That's not something to be afraid of. That's something to welcome," he said. Illiberal approach to immigration only invites more acrimony. A federal judge has temporarily blocked President Obama's executive order that overrode existing immigration law. The result is more acrimony and chaos. It is a good time to remember that there are more than just two types of immigration — legal and illegal. There also exist liberal and illiberal approaches to immigration. Take liberal immigration. It is governed by laws passed by Congress and signed and executed by the president. Nearly all Americans accept that no individual can pick and choose which federal statute he chooses to obey, depending on his own perceived self-interest. President Obama confirms that illegal immigrants who qualify for his programs won't be deported regardless of judge's order. President Barack Obama said Wednesday that illegal immigrants he said could stay in the country would not be deported, regardless of a judge's injunction on his executive actions, as a court battle between his administration and more than two dozen states continues. Following the Texas judge's decision to put a hold on the president's programs, the Department of Homeland Security said it would not begin implementation of the first wave of the president's programs. But Obama told supporters of his immigration measures on Wednesday evening [2/25/2015] that in the meantime, his administration would continue to move to the front of the line criminals and illegal immigrants not included in his programs. Gowdy: 'If You Weaken (the Law) Today, You Weaken It Forever'. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) has a message for those who may approve of — or even benefit from — President Obama's unconstitutional immigration policy: "Be careful what you do with the law today, because if you weaken it today, you weaken it forever," he told the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday [2/25/2015]. Gowdy said the law is the nation's greatest unifying and equalizing force — "but one person does not make law in a republic." This Man Is Dangerous. [Scroll down] Not only does Obama believe he can set immigration policy without legal authority from Congress. Now, he believes he is the only person, the Leader, who sets foreign and defense policy objectives and means. Yes, this clearly contradicts the Constitution, which places this duty and power in Congress, subject to the President's execution of Congress's law. But the Constitution is a scrap of paper to Mr. Obama. No more than a scrap of paper, as is anything that gets in his way. Obama Threatens Immigration Officials Who Don't Comply With Executive Amnesty. President Obama sent a strong message to illegal immigrants counting on the legality of his executive actions on immigration reform at a Wednesday [2/25/2015] town hall. He said that the Texas ruling against him was only temporary and that he would hold immigration officials accountable to his directives. "Unfortunately a group of Republican governors sued," Obama admitted, referring to the Texas court ruling against his actions. "They found a District Court judge who enjoined ... but that's just the first part of the process. This is just one federal judge." Study: Hispanic Foreigners Will Occupy 75% of New American Jobs Starting in 2020. A new study finds that Hispanic foreigners, both legal and illegal, will account for a large portion of future job growth, taking perhaps as many as 75 percent of the jobs created by 2020. It's expected that the Hispanic population present in the U.S. will enjoy 2.6 percent growth per year over the next 20 years, thanks in part to the political phenomenon of encouraging overwhelming numbers of foreigners to settle in the U.S., along with birthright citizenship. Does Obama Have Authority to Unilaterally Give Illegals Social Security Numbers?. Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.) told CNSNews.com on Tuesday [2/24/2015] that he doesn't have an answer to the question of whether the president has the authority to unilaterally give Social Security Numbers to illegal aliens. On Capitol Hill, CNSNews.com asked Heller: "A federal court has said giving Social Security Numbers to illegal aliens is not prosecutorial discretion. Does the president have the power to unilaterally give Social Security Numbers to illegal aliens?" Heller replied: "I don't have an answer to that question. Sorry, can't help you." Obama moves on immigration amnesty despite judge's halting it. The Obama administration moved Tuesday [2/24/2015] to carry out portions of President Obama's executive action on immigration even as a federal judge has halted the president's temporary deportation amnesty. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced it is extending eligibility to dependent spouses of H1-B visa holders to obtain work permits as part of Mr. Obama's immigration action. Starting in 90 days about 179,600 immigrants will be eligible for the benefit in the first year. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Says Constitution Trumps 'Compassion' for Undocumented Immigrants. In an exclusive interview with ABC News and Fusion inside the ornate governor's mansion in Austin, Texas, Abbott, whose federal lawsuit stopped President Obama's executive action protecting millions from deportation, admitted he has no solution for what to do with the 11 million undocumented people living and working in the United States today. He said that's not his responsibility, its President Obama's. Gutierrez: Obama eyes partial launch of anti-deportation program. A top House Democrat said Wednesday that President Obama is eying a partial launch of his new deportation-relief programs, despite a federal court's recent decision to block them. Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-Ill.) said the administration is weighing whether it has the authority to initiate the executive actions in the states not involved in a lawsuit against them. Texas and 25 other states have sued the president over the new programs, which would shield millions of immigrants living in the U.S. illegally from deportation. The administration has said it will comply with the ruling, as it awaits the outcome of an appeal. Migrants' Remittances to Latin America Grew 4% in 2014. Expatriates' remittances to Latin America and the Caribbean increased 4 percent in 2014 to $62.3 billion, the biggest jump since the global economic crisis in 2009, the Inter-American Dialogue, a Washington think-tank, said Tuesday [2/24/2015]. The largest gains went to Mexico and Central America, while several South American countries saw a decrease in remittances, due largely to the persistent economic crisis in Spain. Dem Sen. Manchin: 'I Will Be Voting With Republicans To Repeal' Obama's Immigration Actions. Days from a Homeland Security Department shutdown, Senate Republicans sought a way out Monday [2/23/2015] by splitting President Barack Obama's contested immigration measures from the agency's funding bill. Border Surge Signals Obama Must Get Serious About Security. President Obama is busy playing political games with his vow to shut down the entire Department of Homeland Security unless Congress gives him all the amnesty cash he wants for foreign nationals who have broken U.S. immigration law. He seems confident he can let the country go unprotected and that, if it leads to a terrorist attack, he's free to blame it on the opposition. As usual, his position is rooted in politics — a belief that handing out amnesty accompanied by unending benefits will ensure a new stream of reliable voters for his party as it otherwise grows unpopular. Undeterred: DHS Plans to Issue Work Permits to Spouses of H1-B Visa Holders in May. Plowing ahead with President Obama's executive action on immigration — days after a federal judge put some of it on hold — the Homeland Security Department on Tuesday announced that as of May 26, it will begin granting work permits to the spouses of H-1B visa holders — skilled foreign workers who are seeking permanent resident status in the U.S. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIC), a division of DHS, estimates that as many as 179,000 foreigners will be eligible to apply for employment authorization under the new rule in the first year — and 55,000 annually in subsequent years. Obama-Nominated Judge: New Illegal Immigrants Must Be Released. A federal judge has ordered the federal government to grant U.S. civil rights to illegals who are caught at the border, and to release all migrants except for those who may endanger Americans. The migrants "may have legitimate claims to asylum ... [and] their presence here may become permanent ... [so] that they are entitled to the protection of the Due Process Clause, especially when it comes to deprivations of liberty," said the judge, who was nominated by President Barack Obama. Under current rules, border-crossers who are released are also allowed to compete against Americans for jobs, and to attend U.S. schools and to receive welfare, until their cases are decided by immigration judges. Illegal Aliens Unhappy with Shortage of Bilingual Doctors. The LA Times reported that illegal aliens are unhappy that not enough doctors speak Spanish. The article never used the words "illegal" or "undocumented" or "dreamer" or "super virtuous" or however we are to call illegal aliens nowadays; only referring to "Hispanics" who can't understand English. But since all citizens understand English, or should, I presume that the article is only talking about illegal aliens. My Son is Dead Because the Concept of Borders Is Dead. Spencer Golvach was senselessly murdered by an illegal alien who had been deported a number of times after being convicted of committing crimes, including as law enforcement officers now tell us, crimes of violence. Golvach was shot in the head on January 31st while sitting in his car waiting for a stoplight to change. Golvach's father said he wants the "boomerang" of deportation and illegal reentry into the country to be stopped. Amnesty contract canceled as White House struggles to comply with ruling. The Homeland Security Department quietly canceled one of its major amnesty contracts after a judge's ruling against the program last week, but officials have struggled to explain how they are complying otherwise even as the administration filed an appeal Monday [2/23/2015] asking that it be allowed to begin processing applications immediately. Texas Governor: Since Jan. 1, 'We Have Had More Than 20,000 People Come Across the Border'. "We all saw what happened on the Texas border last summer, but we need to understand that the problem is not going away," Texas Gov. Greg Abbott told CBS's "Face the Nation" with Bob Schieffer on Sunday [2/22/2015]. "Already this calendar year, since January 1, we have had more than 20,000 people come across the border, apprehended, unauthorized. And so we have an ongoing problem on the border that Congress must step up and solve." 'Shadow Work-Permit System': Anti-Amnesty Group Reveals More Details. The anti-amnesty Center for Immigration Studies is offering more details on what it calls a "shadow work-permit system," in which the Obama administration has issued millions of work permits beyond the levels mandated by Congress. CIS — which recently revised its initial estimate of the unauthorized issuance of additional new work permits up — reports that between 2009 and 2014, the Obama administration issued 7.4 million new work permits, above the annual 1.1 million new legal and 700,000 guest workers admitted to the U.S. On Amnesty, the DOJ Grasps at Legal Straws. Judge Hanen's Presidents' Day drubbing of Obama's amnesty agenda was so comprehensive in its rebuttal of the DOJ's arguments that the DOJ's initial reaction was stunned silence rather the immediate flurry of filings that usually follow their rare defeats. In his ruling, the judge swiftly smacked down the Department of Homeland Security's attempt to assert that it had a "generalized discretion" to enforce or not enforce our immigration laws. Such a generalized approach, he wrote, would render Congress's carefully drafted statutes on immigration "superfluous" and "meaningless." Obama to seek emergency order restarting immigration programs. The Obama administration will seek an emergency court order to move forward with President Obama's executive action on immigration. Officials at the Department of Justice (DOJ) plan to seek what is known as an emergency stay that would essentially undo a Texas-based federal judge's injunction from earlier this week. If the stay is granted, the government could restart a pair of executive programs that will shield millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said DOJ will file for the stay by "Monday [2/25/2015] at the latest." The Border Patrol Continues to Act as if a Federal Judge Hadn't Just Blocked Obama's Amnesty. While a federal judge's injunction has halted the implementation of President Obama's sweeping executive actions from November, it appears U.S. Customs and Border Protection never got the news. According to CBP Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske, the relaxed border enforcement guidelines that accompanied Obama's executive actions should continue apace, unaffected by the judge's ruling. Plain Truth: The Best Lines From the Injunction Halting Executive Amnesty. There's still a lot of litigating ahead for the immigration lawsuit brought by 26 states against the Obama administration. But whatever the end result, Judge Andrew Hanen ought to be given the Will Rogers Award for his straightforward, forthright, plain-speaking analysis of what the president has really done with his immigration plan. Hanen is the federal district court judge in Texas who issued an injunction against implementing the amnesty plan on President's Day. His ruling cuts through the misrepresentations and legal flummery advanced by the administration to justify its "Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents," or DAPA program. His Feb. 16 opinion is chockfull of noteworthy comments: [...] Gutierrez 'Militancy' Threat Shows The Left's Contempt For Rule Of Law. Seething over a judge's injunction against fiat amnesty, Rep. Luis Gutierrez vows new "militancy" while others vow poll punishment. Mexico has horned in, too. What we have here is a refusal to respect constitutional limits. Justice Dept. to seek stay on ruling blocking Obama's immigration move. The Department of Justice will request a stay by Monday on a federal judge's decision temporarily halting President Obama's executive action to shield up to 5 million illegal immigrants from deportation, according to the White House. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Friday that the Justice Department has "made a decision to file a stay in this case. "I would anticipate that they will file documents at the district court level on Monday at the latest," Obama's top spokesman told reporters. Justice Department to seek stay in Texas immigration ruling. The Justice Department plans to ask a federal judge to allow the Obama administration to continue its plans to implement President Barack Obama's executive order on immigration while it appeals the judge's ruling blocking the order. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Friday [2/20/2015] the department will ask for a stay of the ruling by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen, who ruled this week to temporarily stop the Homeland Security Department from proceeding with the President's order. GOP double-crossing traitors. Now that a federal judge has held Obama's illegal executive amnesty unconstitutional, perhaps U.S. senators will remember that they swore to uphold the Constitution, too. [...] Poll after poll showed Americans ranking illegal immigration as the No. 1 most important problem facing the nation. We haven't changed our minds. Last week, an Associated Press-Gfk poll showed that Obama's single most unpopular policy is his position on illegal immigration. In other words, Obamacare is more popular than amnesty. Obama: Pass a bill or I'll rip up the Constitution. When Republicans challenged Obamacare in the courts, they had to overcome the hurdle of persuading the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a program enacted by Congress and signed by a president. The legal challenge by Texas and 25 other states to the administration's executive actions on immigration is different. Congress never passed a Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (or DAPA) to grant legal status to some 5 million undocumented immigrants. President Obama himself never signed what his aides call an "executive action"; Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson takes that honor. Thus DAPA is a scary power grab that claims the president — and even his bureaucrats — have the power to override duly enacted federal law. Federal Judge Andrew S. Hanen of Brownsville, Texas, was right to issue a temporary injunction against it. 5 Key Findings From The Injunction Blocking Obama's Amnesty. [#2] Congress Never Created Or Authorized Deferred Action Status. Defenders of Obama's DACA and DAPA programs often note that the Supreme Court has been very clear about the supremacy of the federal government over the states on immigration policy. But, as Judge Hanen notes very early in his opinion, "deferred action," the legal basis for Obama's DACA and DAPA program, was never created by Congress. "Deferred action is not a status created or authorized by law or by Congress, nor has its properties been described in any relevant legislative act," Hanen writes on page 15. "The Government must concede that there is no specific law or statute that authorizes DAPA," he repeats on page 90. Barack Obama's 'reckless disregard' of the law. Reckless disregard. It's a phrase in legal writing that means "gross negligence without concern for danger to others." And it's a phrase that characterizes much of the attitude toward law of an administration headed by a man sometimes described as a constitutional scholar. The most recent case in point is the decision by federal district judge Andrew Hanen in Texas enjoining the operation of Barack Obama's order barring prosecution of something like 4 million illegal immigrants. A timely warning from Rep. Gutierrez. Rep. Luis Gutierrez warns of "unprecedented militancy" from the immigrant community in response to the injunction issued by Judge Andrew Hanen against President Obama's executive order on immigration. [...] Our system of government is already under assault from President Obama and his base. Republicans should dismiss out of hand the notion of adding millions of shock troops, all of them lawbreakers and many coming from countries where presidential supremacy is taken for granted, to that base. Will Obama's defeat on his immigration order be sustained? When I first heard that Judge Andrew Hanen had blocked President Obama's executive order granting lawful status to as many as five million illegal immigrants, I was inclined to downplay the ruling's significance. Judge Hanen is an able jurist, but a conservative one, and only a district court judge. [...] But the quality of the arguments isn't always irrelevant to the outcome of cases of enormous political moment. And the arguments Judge Hanen makes are quite strong. Immigration advocates press Obama to act quickly. Immigrant rights groups are pressing the Obama administration to take steps to ensure the president's lenient new deportation policies go forward quickly despite a federal judge's ruling blocking them. Also posted under What's the rush? Ted Cruz warns Obama to stop spending on amnesty plans for illegal immigrants. Sen. Ted Cruz warned the administration Wednesday that it needs to stop even planning for an eventual amnesty for illegal immigrants, saying a federal judge's broad injunction means it would be illegal for the Homeland Security Department to spend any money on President Obama's immigration plans. The Texas Republican also said Judge Andrew S. Hanen's ruling late Monday undercuts the basis of Senate Democrats' ongoing filibuster to block homeland security spending, which the president's allies have launched to try to defend the White House's immigration policies. Obama administration puts immigration protections on hold after order. President Obama's plans to protect millions of immigrants from deportation were frozen on Tuesday [2/17/2015] while his administration scrambled to appeal an order by a federal judge in Texas temporarily halting the program. He knows he won't be impeached, so there's nothing to lose. Obama, immigrants refuse to be stopped by court decision. Both the White House and illegal immigrants said Tuesday [2/17/2015] that they would not be swayed by a federal judge's decision in Texas halting President Obama's deportation amnesty as overstepping the bounds of his powers. Within hours of the decision, immigrants had said they would still prepare to apply for the program and the White House was vowing to appeal the ruling that accused Mr. Obama of granting "benefits and privileges" to people that the law says should be deported. Obama on Immigration Ruling: No Applications Yet Because 'the Law Is the Law'. President Obama's said his administration will be "prepared to implement" his immigration executive actions "fully as soon as the legal issues get resolved." U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen of Federal District Court in Brownsville blocked the administration's execution of the orders as lawsuits are pending from 26 states. Stressing that he disagreed with the ruling, Obama told reporters in the Oval Office yesterday "this is not the first time where a lower court judge blocked something or attempted to block something that ultimately was shown to be lawful." Ted Cruz: White House 'Counterfeiting Immigration Documents'. Speaking to Fox News following a federal judge's decision to temporarily halt President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration, the potential Republican presidential contender said the commander in chief is ignoring federal law. White House opens anti-extremist summit amid questions about Islamic group. The White House opened a summit Tuesday [2/17/2015] aimed at countering generic "violent extremism" amid complaints that the administration is partnering in the effort with a Boston-based mosque with past links to terrorism. At the start of the three-day conference with American community leaders and foreign ministers from 60 nations, Vice President Joseph R. Biden said the U.S. might be avoiding the kinds of terrorist attacks that have struck Europe recently because America traditionally has been more welcoming to immigrants. "We are a nation of immigrants and our strength is that we are a melting pot," Mr. Biden said. The Editor says... Obama Admits Personally Changing the Immigration Law. In the case of Texas v. the United States, U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen issued an injunction on Monday temporarily stopping President Obama's unilateral action to allow illegal aliens to stay in the United States, get work authorizations, and obtain Social Security Numbers. In his decision, Judge Hanen clearly and forcefully explained how the administration's new immigration policy is not an act of prosecutorial discretion. In this case, twenty-six of the states joined together and sued the federal government to stop Obama's unilateral amnesty of illegal aliens, which has been presented by Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson in the form of a program called "Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents" (DAPA). "The crux of the states' claim is that the defendants violated the Constitution by enacting their own law without going through the proper legislative or administrative channels," said the judge. Key Issues in the States' Lawsuit Over Immigration. President Barack Obama's plan to shield more than 4 million immigrants living in the country illegally from deportation is on hold after a judge temporarily blocked the effort. Judge cites executive overreach, burden on states in halting Obama amnesty. Judge Andrew S. Hanen ruled that President Obama's policies have left the border less secure and invited illegal immigrants into the U.S., but the judge said it was the administration's own attempts at slicing and dicing convoluted immigration laws that left him with no choice but to halt the president's deportation amnesty. The 123-page ruling, issued late Monday, did not reach the weighty constitutional issues that congressional Republicans were seeking. Judge Hanen instead ruled that he never needed to decide on those matters because he was able to conclude that Mr. Obama broke a regular law, the Administrative Procedures Act, by creating a major policy without following all the steps for public review and comment. Federal judge blocks Obama immigration order. A federal judge late Monday [2/16/2015] halted President Barack Obama's landmark immigration order on the eve of its implementation, denying millions of people illegally in America access to work permits and dealing a victory to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott in his lawsuit against the program. The decision from Judge Andrew Hanen, based in Brownsville, did not declare the executive action unconstitutional but said it should not take effect until the legal questions have been settled. Texas Federal Court Enjoins Obama Immigration Executive Action. In a decision which is to have a profound impact on both the immigration debate and the currently stalled funding of the Department of Homeland Security, a federal court judge in Texas has issued a Temporary Restraining Order preventing implementation of Obama's Immigration executive action. Obama vows to fight immigration ruling. US President Barack Obama's tactic of using executive orders to bypass a hostile Congress and drive through controversial immigration reform has run into legal trouble. A judge in Texas has blocked an Obama order that would have protected about four million undocumented foreigners from deportation and was due to come into effect from Wednesday [2/18/2015]. NY ID Law Written to Self-Destruct In Case Anti-Amnesty Republican Wins In 2016. Give New York City Councilman Carlos Menchaca some credit for honesty. Most amnesty shills aren't quite so open about seeing themselves as fighting for the other side in a war against law-abiding Americans, with illegal aliens as the invasion force that will finally subdue the hated Middle Class forever. [...] Rest assured, in the event Obama's "leadership" is supplanted by someone who actually thinks laws mean what they say, the government is duty-bound to enforce them, and the primary concern of the American government should be American citizens (or, Heaven forbid, American taxpayers), Mechaca and his crew are ready to spring into action, wiping out data that could be used against his preferred constituents. Federal Court Ruling Against Obama Amnesty Could Break Democrat Blockade of DHS Funding Bill. Before a federal judge in Texas ruled President Barack Obama's executive amnesty unconstitutional — and ordered its implementation immediately halted — Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest chairman Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) said such a ruling would mean Democrats must stop obstructing the passage of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill. Judge Temporarily Blocks Obama's Executive Action On Immigration. A federal judge in South Texas on Monday temporarily blocked President Barack Obama's executive order on immigration, giving a coalition of 26 states time to pursue a lawsuit that aims to permanently stop the orders. The Costly Asylum Racket. We've had a lot of media comment about the bad effects of Obama's executive orders admitting millions (yes, millions) of illegal immigrants and giving them welfare, Social Security, driver's licenses and a path to citizenship. Like many Americans, I realized the importance of this when thousands of unfamiliar people from a foreign country, without any advance notice, appeared in my community. Obama amnesty creates loophole for illegal immigrants to vote in elections. President Obama's temporary deportation amnesty will make it easier for illegal immigrants to improperly register and vote in elections, state elections officials testified to Congress on Thursday [2/12/2015], saying that the driver's licenses and Social Security numbers they will be granted create a major voting loophole. While stressing that it remains illegal for noncitizens to vote, secretaries of state from Ohio and Kansas said they won't have the tools to sniff out illegal immigrants who register anyway, ignoring stiff penalties to fill out the registration forms that are easily available at shopping malls, motor vehicle bureaus and in curbside registration drives. Giving Illegals The Vote: How To Wreck A Country. State officials are warning that President Obama's de facto amnesty easily enables illegals to cast ballots in U.S. elections — effectively canceling out the votes of American citizens. This is how a republic is wrecked. Obamnesty Extended to Allow In Relatives Of Illegals. "One of the President's most shocking unilateral actions is his chain migration program for the relatives of illegal immigrants. Guidance issued yesterday from USCIS declares that many illegal immigrants' foreign relatives may legally join them in the U.S. Under this decree, the Administration is allowing the Central American relatives of those covered by the President's amnesty order to come to the U.S. as 'refugees' or 'parolees.' In effect, the President's answer to the ongoing run on the border is to order government officials to transport many of those same individuals from Central America into the U.S. with lawful paperwork and guaranteed access to federal benefits. [...]" Sen. Sessions: Executive Amnesty Citizenship Revelation 'A Scandal'. The discovery that the Obama's administration will now allow undocumented immigrants to apply for deferred action and advanced parole simultaneously — opening a path to citizenship — is a "scandal," Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) said Friday [2/13/2015]. "Our laws have been dismantled, stripped bare," Sessions, the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Immigration and the National Interest, said. Homeland Security chief implores immigrants to 'step forward'. Homeland Security chief Jeh Johnson on Thursday asked immigrants in Los Angeles to "step forward" and apply for President Obama's expanded deferred action program. At a packed event at the L.A. Central Library, Johnson touted the benefits of the program, which will grant up to 5 million immigrants living in the country illegally the chance to stay and work in the U.S. without fear of deportation. DHS creates path to citizenship for Dreamers: report. The Obama administration quietly told Congress this week that its deportation amnesty programs will, in fact, include a pathway to citizenship, according to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, who said that breaks a promise President Obama made to the country when he announced the program. Immigration: Obama's executive actions could undermine elections in Ohio. Our president is bending over backwards to divert resources from those trying to come here legally, and instead unconstitutionally giving taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal immigrants without congressional approval. But that's just the start. As with many of the president's actions, there are unintended consequences, and we might be on the verge of seeing one such consequence in my home state of Ohio. IRS Confirms Illegal Immigrants Entitled to Back Tax Refunds Under Executive Amnesty. This won't just be the case moving forward; the newly quasi-legalized-by-fiat immigrants also be able to claim retroactive refunds for up to three years — even if they didn't file or pay taxes at the time. Sen. Sessions Slams Obama Admin. Program To Transport Children Of Amnestied Illegals To U.S.. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) expressed outrage Tuesday [2/10/2015] at the recent Obama administration refugee program that allows certain illegal immigrants granted amnesty to bring their children living abroad to the United States. "Helping illegal immigrants bring their relatives here as refugees only provides further incentive for illegal immigration," Sessions said Tuesday. Feds build bureaucracy to deal with Obama amnesty onslaught. The government expects so many applications for President Obama's new deportation amnesty that it's seeking a contractor just to open the new mail and enter the forms into the system, with plans to operate two shifts from 6 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. every workday to keep up with the anticipated workload. IRS Offers Retroactive Welfare To Illegal Aliens Granted Amnesty By Obama. With all the discussion about amnesty simply being about delaying deportations (we already don't deport people), Obama's amnesty has been about naturalization. That was obvious when we learned amnestied illegals would be given social security numbers. They already have ITIN numbers in order to file taxes, so why is the SSN important? Because you need that to get the Earned Income Tax Credit, which is automatic welfare through a "refund" check from the IRS. In other words, a massive redistribution of our wealth, a reward, to millions of foreigners on our soil. And it will be retroactive for 3 years. Two Immigrants For Every New Job Since 2000. The United States has accepted two new immigrants for each additional job created since 2000, according to federal data. The data shows that 18 million legal and illegal immigrants settled in the United States from 2000 to 2015, while only 9.3 million additional jobs were created, according to the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors a reduced level of immigration. After subtracting deaths, departures and retirements among the immigrants, the working-age population of immigrants has grown 12 million since 2000, according to data at the Bureau of Labor Standards, said Steve Camarota, the author of the CIS study. Luis Gutierrez to TX Gov: 'We Are Coming' for Exec Amnesty. On the most recent leg of his national executive amnesty tour, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) suggested that Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) should start "looking at his own family" before opposing President Barack Obama's executive amnesty. Abbott's wife, who is of Hispanic descent, is the state's first Latina First Lady. Obama Expands Immigration Via Border Security Plan. President Obama's new border security plan is being expanded to allow illegals in the United States to bring their children, their adult children, their grandchildren and even step-parents into the United States. Obama is opening "a whole new pipeline for legal migration," said Ann Corcoran, editor of Refugee Resettlement Watch. Once the new program is established, future officials can expand it to include more economic migrants from more poor countries, she told The Daily Caller. Obama "Hopeful" Immigration Will Drown Conservatism. The spread of vibrant social diversity is constricting the GOP's ability to champion conservative causes, such as smaller government and independent families, President Barack Obama said in a softball media interview. "Over the long term, I'm pretty optimistic, and the reason is because this country just becomes more and more of a hodgepodge of folks," Obama told Vox editor Ezra Klein. In a crushing economy, Obama administration has issued 6 million new work permits to aliens since 2009. Government data reveal that about 5.5 million new work permits were issued to aliens from 2009 to 2014, above and beyond the number of new green card and temporary worker admissions in those years. This is a huge parallel immigrant work authorization system outside the limits set by Congress that inevitably impacts opportunities for U.S. workers, damages the integrity of the immigration system, and encourages illegal immigration. Homeland Security sets up Obama amnesty complaint hotlines for illegals. The Homeland Security Department has set up hotlines for illegal immigrants who believe their rights under President Obama's amnesty policy have been violated. In a memo announcing the customer complaint line, U.S. Customs and Border Protection asked illegal immigrants to "please tell us about your experience" if they believe they were treated "contrary to the new DHS enforcement priorities." Congratulations, Texas: Valerie Jarrett Working Behind the Scenes to Cede Your State to Mexico. President Jarrett is reportedly the driving force behind a campaign designed to turn Texas blue through illegal immigration, thereby ensuring that all presidential elections end up with a Democrat victor. 10 States Suing Over Obama's Immigration Actions Find Their Senators on Opposite Side. Twenty-six states are suing the federal government over President Obama's executive actions on immigration, but U.S. senators representing 10 of those states are taking the opposite approach in Washington. Lawmakers in Florida, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin — states that have all signed onto a lawsuit that alleges the president's immigration plan is unconstitutional — have twice blocked debate on a bill that would fund the Department of Homeland Security while also undoing Obama's immigration actions. From Oval Office: Obama Urges Illegals to 'Sign Up' For Amnesty. Speaking from the Oval Office, President Barack Obama made a sales pitch today [2/4/2015] directly urging illegal aliens to sign up if they qualify for what he calls his "executive action" that will allow them to stay in the country despite violating the immigration laws. "So I'm going to want all of you to get information so you can sign up if you qualify as well. All right?" said the president. Obama uses Dreamers to hit Republicans on immigration.

The president will meet in the Oval Office with six young people from around the nation who qualified for his Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. The program defers deportations for some young people who entered the country illegally. Obama Tells Illegal Immigrants He's Confident' Next President, Congress Will Keep Executive Actions. President Obama reassured illegal immigrants today that the next president and Congress will probably uphold his executive actions when they see how well they work. Obama met with half a dozen "DREAMers" in the Oval Office today [2/4/2015] — brought to the country illegally as children and exempt from deportation under his Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals order in 2012. The press pool was ushered into the meeting just for Obama's remarks. Republican floats compromise on immigration. Sen. Susan Collins has proposed compromise legislation she hopes could serve as the basis for a deal between congressional Republicans and the White House on President Obama's executive actions on immigration.

Warns Employers Against Pressing Certain Immigrants For Documentation. The Justice Department is warning employers against requesting additional work-authorization documentation from Salvadorans with Temporary Protected Status. This month the Department of Homeland Security automatically extended the validity of work authorization documents, beyond their March 9, 2015 expiration date, for immigrants from El Salvador Temporary Protected Status (TPS). According to the Justice Department, despite the expired work papers, employers could violate anti-discrimination laws if they request more documents from those immigrant workers. Nearly 1 million border-crossing illegal immigrants have received US work permits illegal during Obama's presidency. More than 957,000 immigrants who crossed the U.S. border illegally have received work permits since Barack Obama became president, a shocking report revealed on Monday [2/2/2015]. The Center for Immigration Studies uncovered documents through a Freedom of Information Act request, showing that more than 5.5 million new work permits were issued to aliens overall from 2009 to 2014. President Obama's Amnesty At Any Price. Is President Obama so hellbent on amnesty for illegals he'll resort to nullifying and even breaking the law? Based on his moves to delay deportations and his shadow work permits, it sure looks like it. Boehner Calls On Senate To Defund Executive Amnesty: 'We've Won This Fight In The House'. House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) is pressing the Senate to pass the House-passed Department of Homeland Security bill that defunds executive action. At his Tuesday morning [2/3/2015] news conference, the Ohio Republican highlighted Senate Democrats who have been critical of President Obama's executive actions and called on them to follow through. Obama Administration Releases New Fliers For Illegal Immigrants Explaining Exec. Amnesty. The Obama administration wants to make certain illegal immigrants know all about the benefits of executive amnesty. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services released the two new fliers — available in English and Spanish — late last week.

Thousands of illegal immigrants will remain in the United States for at least five more years after the Justice Department moved their deportation hearings to 2019 — at the earliest. The Wall Street Journal reported that the Department of Justice "has begun sending out notices to thousands of immigrants awaiting hearings that their cases will be pushed back nearly five years," and "began notifying employees in the immigration court system last week that nonpriority cases were being bumped off the court docket and would get a Nov. 29, 2019, court date, which happens to be Black Friday." But in the meantime, go get a driver's license and some food stamps. TheDC Reporter Challenges White House: Do Illegal Immigrants Have A 'Right' To Work In US? During Wednesday's White House press briefing, Daily Caller White House correspondent Neil Munro challenged the Obama administration on Loretta Lynch's comments that all illegal immigrants have the "right and obligation" to work in the United States.

The Associated Press reviewed Homeland Security documents that revealed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents have been given a checklist of questions to ask illegal immigrants they encounter about "whether they might qualify under President Barack Obama's plans to avoid deporting them." The training materials reportedly order agents "to immediately begin identifying persons in their custody, as well as newly encountered persons," who may qualify for Obama's executive amnesty. House Homeland Security Committee Aides Say No Fence For Border, because It's Too Expensive. A border bill introduced by House Homeland Security Committee chairman Rep. Mike McCaul (R-TX) has less than 50 miles of border fencing because McCaul thinks it would cost American taxpayers too much to secure the whole border, McCaul aides tell Breitbart News. "Fencing is expensive, and when you talk to folks on the ground, like we did this week, they say they just don't need it," a Homeland Security Committee aide told Breitbart News in an email when asked about the deficiency of fencing in the bill. The Editor says... The Fake Border Fence Throw-Down. The bill would spends $10 billion over 10 years. But it only adds 48 miles of double-layer fencing to meet an 2008 mandate to build various fences along 700 miles of the 2,000 mile border. It also actually tears down some border fencing, which backers say is being replaced by see-through barriers that help surveillance. More significantly, say critics, it does not include any language to end President Barack Obama's catch-and-release border policies. New GOP "Border Security" Bill Removes Border Fences. The new border bills drafted by Republican leaders require the actual removal of at least 66 miles of anti-pedestrian border fencing between laborers in Mexico and employers in the United States. The border bills also require the construction of only 27 miles of effective double-layer fencing along the 2,000-mile border. "It is a remarkable that the direction of our progress is going backwards, from a goal of building 700 miles of double-layer border fencing [in 2006] to only 27 miles [in 2015]," said a Hill staffer who opposes the leaders' bills. New GOP Border Security Bill Removes Border Fences. The new border bills drafted by Republican leaders require the actual removal of at least 66 miles of weak border fencing between laborers in Mexico and employers in the United States. The border bills also only require for the construction of 27 miles of effective double-layer fencing along the 2,000-mile border. "It is a remarkable that the direction of our progress is going backwards, from a goal of building 700 miles of double-layer border fencing [in 2006] to only 27 miles [in 2015]," said a Hill staffer who opposes the leaders' bills. Santa Barbara Paper Sticks with 'Illegals'. A Santa Barbara newspaper, determined to hold its ground against its critics, has continued to use the term "illegals" when describing people living illegally in the United States, prompting protests and counter-protests in the normally serene city by the ocean. The initial protests surfaced when the Santa Barbara News-Press headlined a story "Illegals Line Up for Driver's Licenses" on Jan. 3. In response, someone spray-painted, "The border is illegal, not the people who cross it," on the front entrance of the paper. House immigration plan slammed, spends $10B and deports no illegals. Critics including Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions are slamming a House GOP border security plan set for debate Wednesday, claiming it will spend $10 billion on new equipment and border security tricks, but not send one single illegal home. Sessions, the influential Center for Immigration Studies, and the head of the association of former Border Control agents all slammed the H.R. 399 being marked up in the House Homeland Security Committee today as unfocused on the No. 1 issue: U.S. sanctuary to illegals. McCaul Border Bill a Trojan Horse for Amnesty. Despite a torrent of deceptive push polls showing that Americans are agog over amnesty, politicians in both parties understand Americans are overwhelmingly against their amnesty agenda. After all, 67% of blue state voters in Oregon rejected an effort to grant drivers licenses to illegal aliens, even though proponents of the ballot measure outspent opponents by 10-1. Accordingly, all of their amnesty bills will be couched in faux border security parlance, much like they did with the Gang of 8 bill in 2013. The Obama Administration Is Now Boasting About How Many Illegal Alient Immigrant Children It Resettled This Summer. The Department of Health and Human Services is touting its handling of last summer's massive influx of unaccompanied alien children in an end-of-year report, despite the fact that its own failures worsened the situation. Nearly 58,000 unaccompanied alien children arrived before the end of fiscal year 2014, almost as many as arrived in the past five years combined, according to the report from HHS's Office of Refugee Resettlement. U.S. Should Copy The Great Wall Of Saudi Arabia. Good fences, it is said, make for good neighbors, which on a grand scale was the intent of the Great Wall of China in antiquity and the Israeli fences of more recent vintage. Both were designed to keep out intruders and to make sure all guests were invited guests. Unlike the Berlin Wall, they were built to keep hostiles out, not citizens in. As the threat of IS terrorism grew in Iraq and Syria, Saudi Arabia decided it might be a good idea to put such a barrier between its citizens and those who might want to kill them. Greed And Immigration. The Big Boys in the private sector, whether they like to admit it or not, really just like cheap labor. Why is it so cheap? Easy; a worker who's not supposed to be here in the first place will work for less in order to get cash under the table or through some fictitious social security number where there are no taxes withheld. The American citizen lacks that all-important trump card, being an American — he or she has the SSN and the requirement of paying taxes. So the drywall contractors, landscapers, masons and roofing contractors prefer to make it on the cheap, avoiding workers' compensation insurance contributions and other pesky, expensive little details [...] Valerie Jarrett wonders: Why not pass a bill on immigration? In an interview today [1/15/2015] on CNN, Valerie Jarret, adviser to President Barack Obama, discussed her opinion on Obama's executive actions on immigration and their legality. [...] This is another one of those twisted Liberal logic problems. If Obama's actions were legal, why would Congress need to pass a bill to make them real? If Congress did pass a bill, what evidence leads us to believe Obama would follow it? House Votes to Revoke Legal Protections for Millions of Immigrants. The House on Wednesday [1/14/2015] voted to undo major provisions of President Obama's immigration policy, approving legislation that would revoke legal protections for millions of undocumented immigrants. The vote drew outrage from Democrats and led more than two dozen Republicans, many worried about the perception that their party is hostile to immigrants, to break away. ICE Begins Releasing Deportable Aliens to Work in the U.S.. Most of the attention directed toward the president's executive actions on immigration has been focused on the plan to issue work permits to potentially five million illegal aliens who are the parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents (LPRs). But these are not the only illegal aliens who are getting work permits as part of the executive amnesty. Mexico will issue birth certificates to citizens at US consulates, seeking to help them get ID. The Mexican government on Thursday will start issuing birth certificates to its citizens at consulates in the United States, seeking to make it easier for them to apply for U.S. work permits, driver's licenses and protection from deportation. Immigrants Can Now Obtain Legal Mexican Birth Documents in CA. Mexican citizens living in the United States can retrieve their birth certificates much more easily now, thanks to the Mexican government's decision to offer the certificates at 50 Mexican consulates throughout the United States, rather than offering them only in Mexico at government offices. Report: Released Immigrant Detainees Eligible For Work Permits. A new report from the Center for Immigration Studies, obtained in advance by Breitbart News, argues that under President Obama's executive amnesty certain undocumented immigrants are being released from detention facilities and are eligible for work permits. "Starting almost immediately after the president's announcement in November, ICE offices around the country were directed to go through their caseload of illegal aliens in the process of being deported and start releasing all those who by the stroke of the president's pen were no longer priorities for enforcement," the report, authored by CIS expert Jessica Vaughan reads. Boehner fills House chamber with high drama as he lashes out against Obama in high-stakes immigration battle. John Boehner created the first live-action high drama on the House floor Wednesday, staking out a no-compromise position on blocking Barack Obama's sweeping immigration plan and reading aloud 22 examples of the president's past claims that he lacked the authority to put it into action. [...] Angering Democrats, the House speaker spoke during a floor debate to defend an amendment to the Homeland Security Department's budget bill that would forbid the cabinet agency from spending any money to implement it. Boehner openly mocked Obama for what he said was an effort to evade the U.S. Constitution, throwing in his face his past claims that he wasn't a 'king' or an 'emperor.' Speaker Boehner Quotes All 22 Times Obama Has Said He Could Not Do Executive Amnesty. House Speaker John Boehner took to the House Floor Wednesday [1/14/2015] — ahead of a series of votes to block President Barack Obama's executive amnesty — to take the president to task for his executive orders on immigration. In a pointed speech directed squarely at the president's actions, Boehner quoted each of the 22 times Obama has said he did not have the authority to do what he eventually did: unilaterally change the nation's immigration laws. A year after immigration reform push, John Boehner aims to cancel Obama amnesty. The House GOP heads for its annual policy retreat Thursday in a very different place on immigration than just a year ago, when House Speaker John A. Boehner had hoped to use the gathering as a springboard to push his troops to approve a broad bill legalizing illegal immigrants. Now, as congressional Republicans prepare to gather for another retreat, the conversation has completely shifted. NYC Mayor on ID Cards For Illegals: 'Don't Want' Them 'To Feel Like Second-Class Citizens'. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, said on Monday [1/13/2015] that giving identification cards to illegal aliens allows them to feel like citizens and enjoy some of the same benefits as actual citizens. "We don't want any of our fellow New Yorkers to feel like second-class citizens," de Blasio was quoted as saying in a National Public Radio website article. "We don't want them to feel left out." Hatch, Rubio, Flake Co-Sponsor Bill to Increase H-1B Guest-Worker Visas. On Tuesday, three Republican Senators joined three Democrats to introduce legislation that would expand the number of guest-workers for the tech industry even though there is a surplus of American high-tech workers. 'Aggressive' timetable for launching Obama immigration actions raising concerns. Nearly two months after President Obama announced his immigration executive actions, questions remain over whether the Department of Homeland Security can be ready to process millions of additional immigrants through an already-burdened system. DHS is on a hiring spree as it sets an ambitious schedule — outlined in a recent memo from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the DHS agency in charge of processing the requests — for accepting new applicants. The New Privileged Class: Illegal Immigrants. Now, for the first time in American history, an entire class of persons, a class that numbers in the millions, has been given broad, de jure amnesty and immunity from both federal and state laws. In this class of people are those who have been characterized as the undocumented (i.e., illegal) immigrants. Obama amnesty to impose billions in costs on states, lawsuit alleges. President Obama's new deportation amnesty will impose "billions of dollars in costs" on states, they told a federal court this week — including more than $130 for each Texas driver's license issued to illegal immigrants under the policy. More than 1,100 pages of documents submitted by Texas and two dozen other states suing to stop the amnesty detail the costs in depth, and include sworn affidavits from state officials, federal immigration officers and others arguing that the amnesty will increase illegal immigration, leaving the states with even bigger burdens. Illegal immigrants will get to apply for concealed gun permits and unemployment benefits, states claim. Texas and 23 other states trying to block President Barack Obama's recently announced immigration orders are holding up the costs of providing unemployment insurance, education, health care, driver's licenses and other programs to illegals as evidence that the directives will cause them 'irreparable damage' if allowed to take effect. The states made the case in a filing submitted to a Texas court ahead of a hearing on Thursday [1/15/2015] at which they hope to obtain a preliminary injunction barring the Obama administration from proceeding with its plans to give more than 4 million illegal immigrants work permits. Obama Tells States They Can't Block His Immigration Order. Obama claims his unconstitutional immigration order is unreviewable. He has also banned public input. While we are watching the events in Paris, twenty-five states, that have sued to block Barack Obama's executive order allowing millions of illegals to stay in the U.S., have been told by the federal government that it is above judicial review. The Dictator is not only ignoring Congress, he is ignoring the courts and he is trampling states' rights. His goal is to destroy the co-equal branches of government and the constitutional protections against a rogue president. It is not hyperbole to call him a dictator. He is dictating. House Republicans gear up for frontal assault on Obama immigration policies with Homeland Security budget. House Republicans announced plans Friday to take broad aim at President Barack Obama's immigration policies and eliminate protections for immigrants brought illegally to this country as kids. The legislation to be voted on next week satisfies demands from the most conservative lawmakers and goes further than the approach initially discussed by some House Republicans. That approach would have targeted only the executive actions Obama announced in November that provided deportation protections for millions of immigrants in the country illegally. House Republicans file FIVE different bills to 'defund' Obama 'amnesty' plan. Republicans in the House of Representatives are falling over each other in the race to file legislation that would stop President Barack Obama from implementing his far-reaching immigration plan. No fewer than five separate GOP-sponsored bills are already pending in the House just 24 hours after the 114th Congress launched on Tuesday. They all seek to do largely the same thing: prohibit the Department of Homeland Security from spending a single dime in 2015 on any part of Obama's plan, which he announced in December. House Republican files first plan to defund Obama immigration action. There's been a lot of talk in Republican circles about Congress's authority to stop President Obama's unilateral executive action on immigration. Now, a GOP lawmaker has actually filed a bill to do it. The lawmaker is Alabama Rep. Martha Roby, who on Tuesday, the first day of the new session of Congress, introduced a bill called the "Prevention of Executive Amnesty Act of 2015." Warning From Down Under: How Democrats Plan to Use 'Amnesty' to Create a Socialist, One-Party State. In all the debate about President Barack Obama's "Executive Amnesty" for illegal aliens, few have discussed the real reason for Obama's move. The president has risked huge "political capital" on a very risky and possibly illegal move, that he believes will define his Presidency and secure his legacy with his "Progressive" base. Obama is simply after the votes. He believes that by legalizing eleven to twenty million "illegals" and eventually giving them the vote, he will turn America into a permanent Democratic Party "one party state." Obama's other immigration problem. President Obama is facing another immigration dilemma exacerbated by his efforts to spare up to 5 million illegal immigrants from deportation: how to address the roughly 6 million who were not covered by his executive action. Soon after he announced his unilateral move, the most sweeping overhaul to the immigration system in decades, Obama heard complaints from immigration rights advocates that he hadn't gone far enough. They urged him to grant protections to millions of additional illegal immigrants. 700 miles of U.S.-Mexico border still insecure, congressional investigators say. Less than 3 percent of illegal immigrants will ever be deported, and more than 700 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border remained unsecured as of 2014, according to Sen. Tom Coburn's final oversight report released Saturday morning [1/3/2015], which found the Homeland Security Department failing in several of its top missions. The report also said corruption is a serious problem in the Border Patrol, but said agency officials actually told internal affairs investigators to cut down on the number of cases they were pursuing, according to the former division head. 24 States Continue Their Battle Against Obama's Immigration Executive Actions. U.S. District Judge Andrew S. Hanen of the Southern District of Texas has scheduled a hearing for Jan. 9 on the request for an injunction filed by 25 states against President Obama's immigration amnesty plan. In a nationally televised speech on Nov. 20, Obama announced (and began implementing) the executive actions. The original lawsuit was filed on Dec. 3, and the states requested an injunction hearing by Dec. 31 "or as soon as practicable thereafter." The lawsuit claims that Obama has "unilaterally suspend[ed] the immigration laws as applied to 4 million of the 11 million" illegal aliens in the United States. Constitution's horrible, no good, very bad year. [Scroll down] Accordingly, soon after the 2014 midterm elections, Obama announced executive action to extend legalization for up to 5 million more immigrants, focusing on those who were in the country illegally but whose children were U.S. citizens by virtue of their birth here. Nearly two dozen times in the past Obama had stated publicly that he could not constitutionally undertake such actions, but he did it anyway. This immigration end-run creates a class of people who effectively are exempt from the immigration laws, without Congress ever having recognized such an exemption. It is not prosecutorial discretion but a usurpation of legislative power. More non-Mexicans than Mexicans caught at border in 2014. The Border Patrol apprehended 229,000 Mexicans in fiscal 2014, Pew found, versus 257,000 border-crossers from countries other than Mexico. [...] In particular, 2014 saw a surge in unaccompanied minors from Central American countries to the southern U.S. border. Thousands of children, and in many cases young families, from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador were detained by the Border Patrol during the late spring and early summer. The incident raised immigration as a national political concern before the November midterm elections. Obama Remakes Our Borders, Republicans Yawn. In addition to the power of the purse, the legislative branch of government has another major check on a rogue administration. The Senate has the power to block all executive and judicial nominees from the president as part of its responsibility to advice and consent on presidential appointees. However, it would be hard for anyone looking at today's Senate to grasp this power when what we see is Republicans continuing to join Democrats in confirming these nominees. It's as if Obama's executive amnesty never occurred. Before amnesty, Obama released many adult illegals this summer. The Obama administration's failure from this summer's border surge looks even worse in hindsight, according to an analysis released Monday [12/29/2014] by the Center for Immigration Studies that found the Homeland Security Department knowingly released most illegal immigrants into the community where they absconded, blending into the rest of the illegal immigrant population. Most of those coming were not unaccompanied minors, but rather members of family units — at least one parent with a child or children, who under the law could have been held and deported quickly. More than 90 Percent of a Group of Illegal Immigrants Never Showed Up to Their Immigration Hearings. Once again, local-TV investigative reporters are showing up their national counterparts. Recall that this summer the administration insisted the thousands of Central American illegal immigrants it was waving across the border would be put into deportation proceedings and those who did not qualify for asylum would be removed. You'd think, then, that there'd be bigshot D.C. journalists interested in finding out how many actually bothered to attend their immigration hearings. You'd be wrong. How Illegal Aliens Will Receive Fast Track to Citizenship Under Obama's Executive Amnesty. As we all know, the President has recently announced executive action on immigration — what he calls "deferred action" for millions of aliens who are here illegally, but who have children who were born here and are therefore U.S. citizens. The President has repeatedly assured the American people that he is not creating a path to citizenship for those people. But the President is not telling the truth. He and his Administration have cleared the pathway to citizenship for millions of people who crossed our border illegally; they know that's what they've done; and it is illegal. States Can End "Executive Amnesty" Without a Lawsuit. Writing in National Review, Josh Gelernter offers a very different spin on the "nullification" debate. While acknowledging that the judiciary has consistently ruled against the nullification doctrine, insisting only it has the authority to declare laws unconstitutional, Obama's "Executive Amnesty" is something very different from a law. Obama sheds 'deporter in chief' label, oversees steep drop in illegal immigrant removals. Homeland Security Department officials say the changing face of illegal immigration and the reluctance of "sanctuary cities" to help enforce immigration laws have led to the stunning drop in deportations over the past few years. Statistics released late Friday [12/19/2014] showed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deported about 315,000 immigrants in fiscal year 2014, a steep drop from more than 360,000 deported in 2013 and well below the more than 410,000 the previous year. Illegal immigration up, deportations down in 2014: DHS. The number of illegal immigrants crossing the border rose in 2014, while deportations dropped, according to new statistics Homeland Security released Friday in a pre-holiday data dump that signaled potential problems on both sides of the immigration enforcement equation. Apprehensions on the border, which Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson says is a yardstick for overall illegal immigration, rose 16 percent in fiscal year 2014, while deportations from within the interior of the U.S. — the measure of how much the administration is going after long-time illegal immigrants — fell 24 percent. Immigration activists stop pretending it's not about more Democratic voters. Voters of all political stripes want to see the nation's immigration system work better; that means prioritizing skilled immigrants, reducing incentives to cross the border illegally, tightening border security, and overhauling a system which today serves to primarily reunite fragmented families. Americans do not support President Barack Obama's executive actions which are designed to create legal status for millions of illegal immigrants. Not only do the president's actions fail to accomplish any of the reform-minded goals above, but they also do not enjoy the consent of the legislature. Obama's Amnesty Plan Also Ends Program for Enforcing Immigration Laws. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson issued a series of memorandums on the same day the President Barack Obama announced he would take executive action to protect millions of illegal aliens from being deported, including ending Secure Communities, the partnership between federal, state and local law enforcement to facilitate the enforcement of the nation's immigration laws. "The Secure Communities program, as we know it, will be discontinued," the first line of Johnson's Nov. 20 memo reads. Feds release anti-rape rules for illegal immigrant children housing. Health and Human Services released long overdue guidelines Friday ordering facilities that house illegal immigrant children to set up sexual abuse prevention programs, and to be prepared to deal with tricky cases such as transgender or intersex children. The rules, which congressional Democrats had demanded earlier this week, govern everything from pat-downs to evaluating each child for their likely risk of being targeted for sexual abuse or harassment, and govern how the children should be housed while at the private facilities, which operate under a government contract. The Editor says... Govt urges dismissal of lawsuit over immigration. The Obama administration is urging dismissal of a lawsuit that would dismantle the president's immigration program, an initiative designed to spare nearly 5 million people in the U.S. illegally from deportation. Homeland Security Supervisor Sentenced for Falsifying Border Investigations. A former supervisor of the federal agency tasked with watching over federal agents along the Texas border will spend three years and one month in prison for running an enforcement unit that falsified and backdated investigations that were either not completed or were never done. Yes, Congress can stop Obama's immigration action. Think Congress can't stop President Obama's unilateral executive action on immigration? It can. All money spent by the federal government is under the ultimate control of Congress. If they choose, lawmakers can issue exquisitely detailed instructions on how federal dollars are spent. For proof, look no further than the 1,695-page spending bill passed by Congress over the weekend. A particular phrase, "none of the funds," appears in the bill more than 450 times. In each case, Congress used those words to dictate how money can and cannot be spent. This Is Life Under Totalitarianism. After spending more than a week trying to locate and read the putative presidential Executive Order on Immigration I am now sure that no such E.O. exists! After failing to get responses from my various Congresscritters, the public library, and the New York Times... I finally put in a call to the Cato Institute where I was immediately connected to Mr. Alex Nowrasteh, the senior immigration policy analyst. He explained that the Obamagration reform was not being implemented or even directed by Executive Order but rather through "Executive Action", with implementation accomplished by memoranda from Jeh Johnson, Homeland Security. Mr. Nowrasteh was kind enough to send me links to the memos implementing President Obama's extralegal decrees. Nearly Two Hundred Million Spent in Four Months on Illegal Alien Children. This is old news but Judicial Watch obtained proof in September that for a mere four month period, nearly two hundred million was spent lavishing illegal alien children with big screen TV's, phones, food, clothing and endless other expenses were covered. Judicial Watch received documents from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) exposing the Obama administration's lavish spending on unaccompanied alien children for the four month period in 2014. That doesn't count the 300,000 illegal alien adults who came across in a three month period and who were flown and driven around the country. The BCFS (Baptist Children Family Services) budget included charges for $104,215,608 for UACs at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and an additional $77,914,178 for UACs at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas. The project's end date is 2016 — when Mr. Obama is about to leave office. WH Suggests Republicans Wouldn't Dare Block Funding for Programs 'Critical to Our Homeland Security'. House Republicans have indicated that they will try to block funding for President Obama's rewrite of immigration law when funding for the Homeland Security Department runs out in late February. On Thursday [12/11/2014], the Obama White House hinted that when that happens, it will accuse Republicans of blocking funding for national security, just because they're angry with the president for acting on his own. Boehner and Obama Join to Pass Bill Funding Obamacare and Amnesty. House Speaker John Boehner and President Barack Obama joined forces today [12/11/2014] to push their respective party members to provide 219 votes — one more than was needed — to ensure passage of an omnibus government funding bill that permits the administration to spend money implementing Obamacare and Obama's planned unilateral actions that will effectively amnesty as many as five million illegal aliens. The bill, according to the Congressional Budget Office, will allow the administration to spend $1,188,927,000,000 on discretionary government programs. It provides funding for amost all of the government through the end of this fiscal year — which occurs on Sept. 30, 2015 — and for the Department of Homeland Security through Feb. 27, 2015. Deportations at All-Time Low as Illegal Border Crossers Skyrocket. While Islamic terrorists exploit the Mexican border to enter the United States as they please, the latest Homeland Security figures show a drastic decline in deportations — especially among illegal immigrants with criminal records — as the number of people caught crossing illegally rose. Obtained from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) this month by a mainstream newspaper, the figures reveal that President Obama deported fewer illegal aliens in the last year than at any time during his tenure. Cruel Reality: Obama Paying for Illegal Amnesty With Fees Paid by Legal Immigrants. As the debate rages on Capitol Hill about how to defund President Obama's executive action that gives legal status to 5 million illegal immigrants, it's important to take a look at where the funding for his new amnesty program is coming from. The funding for Obama's executive action is coming through the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, a fee, not tax based agency under the jurisdiction of Homeland Security. Because the USCIS is a fee based agency, many have argued Congress cannot defund it. According to the Congressional Research Service, Congress does in fact have the ability to defund the agency through the appropriations process. Illegal Immigrants Flocking to Amnesty Workshops at Churches, Islamic Centers from Coast to Coast. From coast to coast, illegal immigrants are reportedly flocking to community centers, churches, and Islamic centers to see if they will qualify for President Barack Obama's executive amnesty. According to an Associated Press report, recent workshops for illegal immigrants have been held "at a high school in Knoxville, Tennessee, a church in Goshen, Indiana, and an Islamic Center in New York City." In addition, events have been held throughout California and Seattle. As many as 10,000 illegal immigrants could show up to an event at Los Angeles's convention center on Sunday. The Obama Official Responsible for Sending Unaccompanied Illegal Minors Across the Country Is Resigning. A top Health and Human Services Department official responsible for the release of thousands of unaccompanied alien children into communities across the country announced his resignation Tuesday [12/9/2014] without much notice. Eskinder Negash, director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which oversaw the placement of more than 53,000 illegal immigrant children in all 50 states in fiscal year 2014, announced his resignation on Tuesday [12/9/2014]. The announcement of Negash's resignation comes one day before a House Judiciary Committee hearing on how the release of unaccompanied alien children who flooded across the border in large numbers this summer has impacted local communities. Report: 'Omnibus Contains $2.5 Billion to Accommodate Illegal Immigrants and Refugees'. Conservatives on Capitol Hill are passing around a document titled, "Omnibus Contains $2.5 Billion to Accommodate Illegal Immigrants and Refugees," which claims to new spending bill has dedicated a lot of money to helping people in the U.S. illegally. America: From Super Power to Banana Republic. Robert Rector, Senior Research Fellow with the Heritage Foundation, stated that President Obama's amnesty for four million illegal immigrants will cost Americans about $2 trillion — approximately $40 billion per year — over the next five decades. If all illegal immigrants are granted amnesty, they would receive "... $9.4 trillion in government benefits and services and pay $3.1 trillion in taxes... They would generate a lifetime fiscal deficit... of $6.3 trillion... This should be considered a minimum estimate." Once the wealthiest nation in the world, America has now become a welfare country. Obama Blames Conservative Talk Shows For American Anger Over Executive Amnesty. President Obama is not pleased with conservative talk show hosts, including Rush Limbaugh and Laura Ingraham, who oppose his executive actions on immigration reform. During a town hall event in Nashville to discuss immigration reform, Obama admitted that there are many Americans were angry about his actions. Congressman Reveals GOP Leaders to Push Amnesty for All But Violent Criminals. One of the top House Republican leaders, Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX), revealed this week that GOP leaders intend to push an amnesty bill in the next Congress that would subject only the most dangerous illegal immigrant criminals to deportation so that "not one person" who is in the country illegally and has not committed a violent crime is "thrown out." GOP Spending Bill Gives Nearly $1 Billion To Aid Border Migrants. The GOP's draft 2015 "omnibus" spending bill reportedly includes $948 million to help poor and unskilled Central American migrants establish themselves in the United States, but includes no effective restrictions on President Barack Obama's plan to provide work permits and tax payments to millions of resident illegal immigrants. That new spending works out to $16,928 for each of the 56,000 youths, young adults and children who crossed the border during the 12 months up to October 2014. Prior to October, Obama's officials sent only 1,901 of the migrants back home to Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua, according to a federal report. Executive Amnesty Order? What Order? So much is happening on the immigration front that it is hard to keep up, but this story is worth at least a mention: it turns out that President Obama hasn't issued an executive amnesty order after all. [...] The explanation, I assume, is that Obama thinks it will be harder to mount a legal challenge to his unconstitutional usurpation if there is no actual order that defines what he has done. DHS' New Guidelines on Deporting Illegals: Longtime Aliens, Some Criminals Get Special Consideration. On Nov. 20, the same day President Barack Obama announced executive action to shield millions of illegal aliens from deportation, Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Jeh Johnson issued an agency-wide memorandum explaining new guidelines for enforcing the nation's immigration laws — or not enforcing them based on a wide range of "circumstances." House GOP Leaders Trick 216 House Republicans into Accidentally Supporting Obama's Executive Amnesty. In a lengthy interview on Friday afternoon [12/5/2014], Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) exposed how House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Majority Whip Steve Scalise strengthened President Barack Obama's executive amnesty with procedural trickery former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber would envy — and they did it all in the name of pushing a bill that they told Republicans would block Obama's executive amnesty. Obama amnesty in jeopardy with Bush judicial appointee hearing states' challenge. The states challenging President Obama's deportation amnesty have already won the first round in court after the case landed in the lap of Judge Andrew S. Hanen, a Bush appointee who issued a scorching rebuke to the Department of Homeland Security last year, accusing it of refusing to follow border security laws. It could hardly have been a worse outcome for Mr. Obama, who, in order to preserve his policy, will now have to convince a judge who is on record calling his previous, less-extensive nondeportation policies "dangerous and unconscionable." Obama Deputies Free 30,862 Foreign Criminals. President Barack Obama's immigration deputies released 30,862 foreign criminals into the United States' cities and neighborhoods, according to a federal document. The document also showed that Obama repatriated less than 1 percent of the 12 million illegals living in the United States during the 12 months up to October 2014. Republicans Reject their Mandate. Some used to call the Republicans the "stupid party," but what is going on now goes much farther than mere stupidity can account for. [...] Last Wednesday, House Rules Committee Chairman Rep. Pete Sessions (R-TX) — certainly not to be confused with anti-amnesty stalwart Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) — made a startling statement. Pete Sessions said that Republican leaders intend to push an amnesty bill through in January that would subject only the most dangerous illegal alien criminals to deportation. Let me say that again: the Republican leaders of the House want to endorse Obama's action by passing a law to embrace it and call it their own. Senate Conservatives Huddle With House Members to Plot Immigration Revolt. A trio of senators crossed the Capitol last night to discuss the congressional response to President Obama's recent executive orders on immigration. The consensus: Republican leadership doesn't want to fight Obama, so the lawmakers have to hope that grassroots activists can goad their colleagues into a more aggressive posture. "I hope that the American people will speak up and share their views with Congress and good strong language will come out of the House," Senator Jeff Sessions (R., Ala.) told National Review Online Thursday afternoon [12/4/2014]. Don't be Grubered by Boehner's Amnesty Plan. First they tried to tell us they couldn't defund Obama's amnesty. Now, Boehner and his bootlickers are making it clear that they won't defund it. Before delving into the minutia of the Boehner plan to fund amnesty, it's important to understand the context that preceded this plan. While reporters and pundits will spill copious pages of ink attempting to ascertain the strategy behind this plan, the only words that count are those of the Speaker himself. Sen. Sessions Discovers Our Emperor's Plans for a Mega-Immigration Center. Northern Virginia is targeted by our Emperor to house a mega-immigration processing center with a staff of 1,000 who will give out work permits, Social Security cards and Medicaid to everyone who applies. Congress has rejected all of this five times. Obama is breaking the law! We no longer have illegal immigrants. We no longer have borders and we are no longer a sovereign nation. While everyone is looking at the shiny object in Ferguson or New York City, the Emperor Obama is doing whatever he wants. Jeff Sessions: Obama Wants Exec Amnesty Implemented Before Americans Discover 'Grave' Consequences. On Thursday [12/4/2014], Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) accused President Barack Obama of trying to implement his executive amnesty that "stains our legal system and our country" before the American people figure out that the consequences are "graver than a lot of people think" right now. He urged Congress to use its power of the purse to stop Obama from unilaterally wiping out the nation's immigration laws. White House, Democrats teaming up on 'Immigration Strike Team'. The White House and congressional Democrats are teaming up to form an "Immigration Strike Team" to serve as a better-organized rapid response force to counter whatever Republicans do or say about immigration reform in the coming months. White House: Executive Amnesty Implementation 'Well Underway'. A senior White House official says the implementation of President Obama's executive order on immigration is "well underway" and that the administration would "proceed" regardless of congressional efforts to block the order. What Do Illegal Immigrants Want? The predictable furor over President Obama's executive order offering relief to approximately 5 million undocumented immigrants has obscured the fact that his initiative is much bolder in form than in content. Obama has gone to extraordinary lengths to offer less than what immigrant advocates have for years been insisting is an absolute necessity: full citizenship. Homeland Security already hiring 1,000 employees to carry out Obama amnesty. Department of Homeland Security officials wasted little time in ramping up for President Obama's amnesty, posting 1,000 job openings the day after his announcement and announcing it already has space for hundreds of employees at a new location in Arlington, Virginia — an indication that it had laid its plans well before Mr. Obama's announcement. And even though Mr. Obama said his policy is temporary, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is hiring the employees for permanent positions, at salaries of up to $157,000 a year, according to the job postings listed on the official federal jobs website. Henry: If Obama's Exec Amnesty Temporary, Why Hire 1K New DHS Employees? Thursday [12/4/2014] at the White House press briefing, Fox News Channel's White House correspondent Ed Henry questioned press secretary Josh Earnest over why the Department Homeland Security website posted job openings for a thousand new permanent government workers, some making six figures, to process president Obama's executive order amnesty applications if the order is meant to be temporary. [Video clip] Abbott sues Obama over immigration action. Gov.-elect Greg Abbott on Wednesday [12/3/2014] sued the Obama administration over the executive actions on immigration, saying the president overstepped his power by attempting to rewrite immigration laws. "The president is abdicating his responsibility to faithfully enforce laws that were fully enacted by Congress," Abbott said in a statement before announcing the lawsuit at a press conference. Multistate Coalition Sues Over Immigration Order. Texas is leading a 17-state coalition suing over President Barack Obama's recently announced executive actions on immigration, arguing in a lawsuit filed Wednesday [12/3/2014] that the move "tramples" key portions of the U.S. Constitution. Republicans Rip 'Architect' of Obama's 'Executive Amnesty'. Republican lawmakers ripped into Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on Tuesday as he defended President Obama's executive actions on immigration, in his first Capitol Hill appearance since the president announced the overhaul. While acknowledging the country's immigration system is broken, Chairman Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, called out the Obama administration for side-stepping Congress to push the immigration overhaul through. "Regardless of where you stand on the issue, there's a right way to do this and a wrong way," McCaul said. He added: "This is not how democracy works." Hoyer Doesn't Say Where Constitution Authorizes Obama Not to Enforce Immigration Law. At a press briefing on Tuesday, House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said that President Obama had "broad authority" to take unilateral action on immigration but failed to directly answer a question asking him where specifically the Constitution authorized President Obama to unilaterally decided not to enforce immigration laws. CNSNews.com asked Hoyer: "The Constitution requires that the president 'take care that the laws be faithfully executed.' Where specifically in the Constitution does it give the president the power not to enforce immigration laws against 5 million violators of that law?" Hoyer did not point to any specific provision of the Constitution, but said that Obama had authority because "president have broad authority to deal with implementation" of immigration law. Jeh Johnson: Legalized Illegals Don't Need to Comply With Obamacare. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said in congressional testimony today that the Affordable Care Act — also known as Obamacare — will not apply to illegal aliens who are allowed to stay and work in the United States as a result of President Obama's executive action. "Mr. Secretary, is it true that the illegal immigrants who are granted amnesty will not need to comply with the Affordable Care Act?" Rep. Lou Barlett (R-Pa.) asked Johnson at a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on President Barack Obama's executive action on immigration. White House: Obama was 'Speaking Colloquially' When He Said He Changed Immigration Law. Members of the Obama administration continue to be confronted by President Obama's statement to a group of illegal immigrant protesters in Chicago that he had taken action to "change the law" on immigration. "Did the president misspeak in a moment of passion to try to calm the crowd? Or do you fundamentally believe that he has taken action to change the law?" asked CBS reporter Major Garrett during the White House Press Briefing. White House press secretary Josh Earnest explained that Obama was "speaking colloquially" when he made his remarks. Reid's zombie Senate should not set federal spending priorities. The early word is that Republicans in leadership want to pass a long-term resolution that would set spending levels through the end of the current fiscal year on September 30, 2015. The measure they envision would reportedly omit spending related to immigration enforcement, which would receive a separate, short-term treatment. The new Republican Congress could then revisit immigration enforcement spending next month in a bid to countervail President Obama's executive decree. House plans to vote down Obama immigration. The Republican-led House may vote this week to undo President Barack Obama's executive actions on immigration, House Speaker John Boehner told lawmakers Tuesday [12/2/2014] as he sought to give outraged conservatives an outlet to vent over Obama's move without shutting down the government. 'We the People' Must Demand a Different Kind of Governance. Just last month, the American people spoke loudly and clearly at the polls. With the addition of several new seats in the U.S. House, as well as Republicans taking control of the U.S. Senate, it is clear that the American people are opposed to amnesty for illegal immigrants. Boehner: 'This Is a Serious Breach of the Constitution'. House Speaker John Boehner (R.-Ohio) said at a press conference this morning [12/2/2014] that President Barack Obama had no constitutional authority to take the unilateral action he has taken on immigration and that by doing so the president has posed a serious threat to the U.S. system of government. Boehner, however, said that while House Republicans were "going to proceed" to counter the president's action, they had not yet decided how they would proceed. Poll: Americans reject Obama's immigration order, want illegals out of schools, jobs. Despite the media's gushing over support for President Obama's executive order on illegal immigrants, a poll just published finds that the public is rejecting his move, with overwhelming majorities demanding that illegal children be barred from schools and illegal adults from jobs. Obama: Fund My Amnesty Or I'll Shut Down The Government. White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Monday [12/1/2014] that President Barack Obama will block a government budget bill if the GOP denies him the funds needed to provide amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants. "Yes," Earnest said when asked by ABC News reporter Jonathan Karl if Obama would veto a government-wide budget that defunded the amnesty program. If Obama blocks the budget to help the illegals, large sections of the federal government would shut down on Dec. 12. But Earnest equivocated when he was asked if Obama would shut down the government if the GOP denies amnesty just for the immigration agency. California pushes to expand immigrant health care. President Barack Obama's executive order to spare some immigrants from deportation has galvanized Democrats, immigration groups and health care advocates in California to push for expanding health coverage to a segment of the population that remains uninsured. Amnesty is Treason. In 1986, a Democrat controlled Congress passed the Immigration Reform and Control Act signed into to law by President Ronald Reagan. Democrats in Congress convinced Reagan to sign the reform bill on the condition that it would provide a "one-time" amnesty for an estimated one million illegal immigrants residing in the US at the time, and that all US Immigration and Naturalization laws would be forever thereafter enforced. Because the Federal Government broke its obligation to the American people by refusing to enforce our immigration and naturalization laws since 1986, we find ourselves facing yet another national disaster and more than twenty-million illegal invaders in our country demanding equality with all "legal" American citizens. For anyone in the federal government to adhere to our enemies by providing aid and comfort within the United States, granting any degree of citizenship rights to people who have broken into our country illegally with the purpose and intent to subvert our laws and alter the social demographics of our nation, is an overt act of treason. Why Amnesty Activists Will Never Stop Heckling Obama. This Tuesday [11/25/2014], at a speech in Chicago meant to celebrate President Obama's recent executive action on immigration, Obama was once again heckled by amnesty activists demanding he do more to stop deportations. [...] But didn't Obama just grant executive amnesty to 5 million illegal immigrants? Isn't that enough? No. Amnesties do not solve problems. They only create more amnesties. No Longer a Nation of Laws. In an announcement Thursday evening, the President granted amnesty to millions of those who have entered the country illegally. Those granted amnesty, are those who have been in the country for at least five years, have children who are citizens or legal residents, who pass a criminal background check, and are willing to pay taxes and register with the government. The impact could include as many as 6 million people. The elements of his plan have merit, but to be legal, the proposal must be enacted legislatively, which he could have done easily when his party controlled both chambers of congress during his first term. An inconvenient law. There is a humane, transparent, truthful — and constitutional — way to address illegal immigration. Unfortunately, President Obama's unilateral plan to exempt millions of residents from federal immigration law is none of those things. Obama said he had to move now because of a dawdling Congress. He forgot to mention that there were Democratic majorities in Congress in 2009 and 2010, yet he did nothing, in fear of punishment at the polls. Nor did Obama push amnesty in 2011 or 2012, afraid of hurting his own re-election chances. Report: Congress can block Obama's immigration mandate. The nonpartisan Congressional Research Service says Congress has the power to block funding for President Obama's executive action on immigration, refuting a position taken by the top House appropriator. House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers, R-Ky., has argued that Congress can't block funding to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency charged with enforcing the president's calls to authorize work permits and other paperwork for illegal immigrants living in the U.S., because it operates mostly on fees it collects rather than federal tax revenue. Who's Planning to Sue Obama Over Immigration? Five Republican governors are so upset with President Obama's executive actions regarding the nation's immigration system they are ready to take the nation's chief executive to court. A sixth, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, did not raise the possibility of a lawsuit in her response to Obama's executive actions. But she did blast the president — whose Justice Department sued Arizona over its immigration enforcement practices four years ago — for "thwarting Congress and the American people." "Evidently this president must be reminded that we, the American people, elected a president that serves beneath the law. We did not anoint a tyrannical king that is above the law," she said in a statement. Executive Action for Immigration. The President's "immigration accountability executive action" has confused many Americans since a president's action is more or less a "wish list" and does not have the legally binding power of an executive order. Unlike an executive order, an executive action is not published in the Federal Register. An executive order can be reversed by Congress or by the courts. Is this executive action meant to obfuscate the illegal immigration issue and postpone the "fixing of the broken immigration," a euphemism for refusing to enforce the already existing laws? Congress can block use of fees for immigration overhaul: memo. Congress can block President Barack Obama from using federal immigration fees to issue permits for millions of undocumented immigrants to stay and work in the United States, according to a congressional research memo released on Wednesday [11/26/2014]. The Rule of Memo. Turn now to the President's "executive action" on immigration. What did he do? According to a wide variety of media sources, the President issued an executive order. [...] Wow. Some executive order. Except there isn't one. Check the White House web site under the section "Presidential Actions." The most recent executive order is one from October 17, on consumer financial transactions. What the President signed on Friday, November 21 were two memoranda, setting up a task force and directing government officials to recommend improvements in the immigration system. [...] An executive order has the force of law. The Office of the Federal Register assigns it a number and publishes it. There is a permanent record; a place to go to find it. None of this applies to the memo. Confusion, fears of scams over Obama's immigration order. The usually busy Mexican consulate in Los Angeles has been even busier since President Obama announced executive action on immigration. The president's actions will allow millions of people who are in this country illegally to avoid deportation — if they meet certain conditions. It's been less than a week since the president's announcement and already there is confusion over paperwork. Congressional Research Service: Congress Has Power to Block Funding for Obama's Executive Amnesty. The Congressional Research Service (CRS) has concluded that House Appropriations Committee chairman Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY) is wrong, and that Congress can in fact block funding for President Barack Obama's executive amnesty order. About That Gloating From Mexico. Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto hailed President Obama's amnesty, richly suggesting he'd done us a favor by letting millions come here. But those amnesty beneficiaries fled his nation's failure. He should be red-faced with shame. The Editor says... Barack Obama, Troll. If all King Obama was doing was opting not to deport some immigrants here illegally, he'd be on safer ground. But his new proposal would allow an estimated 3.5 million "undocumented Americans" to get all sorts of documents — Social Security numbers, work permits, drivers licenses, etc. That's not prosecutorial discretion, that's a rewrite of existing law. 5 Ways Congress Can Push Back on Obama's Executive Actions on Immigration. Last week, President Obama announced executive actions on immigration that would defer deportation for millions of illegal immigrants. Members of Congress should rightfully be concerned that the president is usurping their legislative power and, at a minimum, not faithfully executing the law. There are a variety of ways that Congress can try to rein in the president. Here are just some: [...] Robert Rector: Amnestied Illegal Immigrants to Cost Taxpayers $2 Trillion Over Their Lifetime. The undocumented immigrants granted amnesty by President Barack Obama's executive orders will likely cost taxpayers $2 trillion, according to Heritage Foundation poverty expert Robert Rector. "The net cost — which is total benefits minus total benefits paid in — of the amnesty recipients I estimate will be around $2 trillion over the course of their lifetime," Rector explained in an interview with Breitbart News Monday [11/24/2014]. He added that the calculation is based on the assumption that 4 million undocumented immigrants will participate and they will live, on average, 50 years. Obama's Amnesty Will Cost $22,000 Per US College Grad. President Barack Obama's amnesty for four million illegal immigrants will cost Americans about $2 trillion, or roughly $40 billion a year for the next five decades. The cost of Obama's generosity is equivalent to 30 cents extra for every gallon of gas bought by Americans. Or a $10 monthly fee added to every cellphone. Or a $22,000 tax on every American graduate's four-year college degree. Surprise: Border Crossings Surge With Obama's Legalization Announcement. Last week President Obama announced his plan to legalize at least five million people living illegally in the United States during a primetime address to the nation from the White House. He detailed the plan again last Friday at a Las Vegas high school. Just before his announcement, law enforcement officers working in and people living along the Texas border with Mexico were already seeing a surge in illegal immigration as a result. The Unstoppable Emperor of La Raza. [T]he reality of life in 2014, 2015, and 2016 is that we've got millions — five is the current guess, but it's an open ledger — of Mexicans and Central Americans with a smattering of others who are getting social security numbers and work permits and it's a safe bet the government will disperse them in a way, and not track them, so that it will be practically impossible to remove them. Obama amnesty leaves most illegal immigrants still in fear of deportation. The White House says President Obama's new executive action on immigration cleared nearly 5 million illegal immigrants from any danger of deportation, but that still leaves more than half the population currently in the U.S. illegally in at least some fear of being kicked out. Amid the congratulations and promises to sign up as many illegal immigrants as possible, advocacy groups lamented those left behind: gay immigrants, other adults without children, those who arrived within the last five years, those whose children were born outside the U.S. and those with criminal records, which leaves them ineligible. Amnesty For Illegals Is Importing Poverty Into The U.S.. Rep. Michele Bachmann warned that the immigrants about to be amnestied have high illiteracy rates and may vote. The left howled, but the reality is she understated it. The hard data tell the story. Commenting on President Obama's amnesty of 5 million illegals, the Minnesota Republican told reporters at the Capitol, "The social cost will be profound on the U.S. taxpayer — millions of unskilled, illiterate, foreign nationals coming to the United States who can't speak the English language." She added that many will vote illegally, too. [...] As for the ability to speak English, Bachmann is particularly accurate: Central Americans, despite the long exposure of their illegals to the U.S., have the lowest English proficiency in the entire hemisphere. ICE readies 2,400 beds for new spring surge of illegal immigrants through Texas. The Obama administration is bracing for another surge of illegal immigrants next spring, bringing online a family detention center that will have 2,400 beds. "We must be prepared for traditional, seasonal increases in illegal migration. The Dilley facility will provide invaluable surge capacity should apprehensions of adults with children once again surge this spring," said Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Thomas S. Winkowski. In advance of the president's new pro-immigrant announcement set for Thursday night, ICE is readying its strategy for next year when over 100,000 illegals are expected to flood over the U.S.-Mexico border. The Injustice of Amnesty. President Obama looks set to embark on a power play that will usurp the legislative power of Congress. [...] Administrative amnesty is unjust. The United States already admits around a million legal permanent immigrants a year, more than any other nation in the world. They have waited their turn, followed the rules and worked hard to get here. If we allow certain people to skip the line — rewarding them for breaking the rules — we are no longer a nation of equals: we become a nation of favoritism. This is unfair to both legal immigrants and to all law-abiding Americans. Sen. Sessions reacts: We must stop Emperor Obama. Apparently, America now has its first emperor. And he has issued an imperial order to dissolve America's borders. Millions more will enter and demand the same amnesty benefits as those who came before. The entire moral foundation and consistency of our laws will have been eviscerated. Law enforcement officials have repeatedly warned that the president's new amnesty will unleash a "tidal wave" of illegal immigration. The impact on our jobs, wages, hospitals, schools, police departments and neighborhoods will be crushing. Sen. Sessions reacts: We must stop Emperor Obama. President Obama's executive amnesty will provide an estimated 5 million illegal immigrants with the exact benefits Congress rejected, in violation of federal law. His order will grant them social security numbers, government-issued ID's, legal status and work permits. Illegal immigrants will now be able to take jobs and benefits directly from struggling Americans in a time of high unemployment and low wages. They will be able to take jobs from Americans in all occupations, ranging from truck drivers to power company workers to jobs with city government. Many illegal immigrants will also be able to obtain green cards and become permanent residents, allowing them access to almost all federal programs, to receive citizenship and sponsor foreign relatives to join them in the U.S. In addition to providing formal amnesty benefits for 5 million illegal immigrants, President Obama has also eliminated virtually all enforcement with respect to the other nearly 7 million illegal immigrantsin the United States. Obama's executive legalization could reverberate into 2017. For Hillary Clinton, the presumed Democratic presidential nominee, Obama's sweeping immigration action could prove a boon or a burden. The move is popular with Latinos, and this growing demographic delivered 73 percent of its vote to Obama in 2012. It could further cement Latino support for Democrats two years from now. But initial public opinion polls show dissatisfaction with how Obama is using his claimed executive authority. "Obama has engaged in a sustained and calculated campaign to dismantle the immigration laws of the United States". President Obama's executive amnesty violates the laws Congress has passed in order to create and implement laws Congress has refused to pass. The President is providing an estimated 5 million illegal immigrants with social security numbers, photo IDs and work permits — allowing them to now take jobs directly from struggling Americans during a time of record immigration, low wages, and high joblessness. This amnesty plan was rejected by the American people's Congress. By refusing to carry out the laws of the United States in order to make his own, the President is endangering our entire Constitutional order. New Jersey is the nation's #1 magnet for illegal aliens. It's an invasion. And New Jersey is at the front of the front lines. Over the past 4 years we've added more illegal aliens than any other state. Legal but Still Poor: The Economic Consequences of Amnesty. With his questionably Constitutional move to protect America's vast undocumented population, President Obama has provided at least five million immigrants, and likely many more, with new hope for the future. But at the same time, his economic policies, and those of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, may guarantee that many of these newly legalized Americans will face huge obstacles trying to move up in a society creating too few opportunities already for its own citizens, much less millions of the largely ill-educated and unskilled newcomers. Democratic Party operatives, and their media allies, no doubt see in the legalization move a step not only to address legitimate human needs, but their own political future. Is there a legal difference between a few thousand illegals amnestied and 5 million? I'm not a Constitutional scholar, nor even a lawyer. But you and I can both read. Perhaps the most incredible aspect of the Constitution is that it was written not so that lawyers would only understand it, but so that ordinary people could easily grasp the concepts involved and understand their rights and the limits of government power. If scholars can justify what Obama is doing as Constitutional, then our reading of what the Constitution says is no longer valid and the document itself has become irrelevant. Obama's executive action on immigration will have big repercussions on states. As Republicans in Washington debate how to fight Obama's executive action, the real battle could take place in state legislatures that have a say over how exactly to carry out the plan. For starters, states will have to provide proper outreach and support to help the immigrants figure out how to apply for deferred action — and state governments can vary their efforts in reaching out to undocumented populations offering assistance. Illegals get a pay raise while current American workers' checks could get squeezed. Illegal immigrants stand to make out nicely, seeing a big jump in their wages under President Obama's policy, announced Thursday, granting millions of them temporary amnesty and the chance to work legally, but analysts say American workers in some jobs are likely to feel a pinch from new competitors. While most of the illegal immigrants to whom Mr. Obama granted tentative legal status were already under little fear of deportation, they were usually working in the shadows, either off-the-books or using a bogus Social Security number that trapped them in low-skilled jobs and left them vulnerable to abuse by unscrupulous employers. Most Legalized Illegals Will Have No Net Income-Tax Liabilities. President Obama says that his executive order will ensure that currently illegal immigrants will have to "pay their fair share of taxes." But [...] a 2006 analysis by the Century Foundation, a progressive think tank, concludes that "we can be virtually certain that illegal immigrants earned less than $24,000 per year, on average, probably much less." That amounts to around $29,000 in 2014 dollars, well below the threshold where an American has a net income-tax liability. Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio sues Obama over immigration plan. Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, an outspoken critic of the federal government, announced late Thursday he's suing President Barack Obama over his recently unveiled plan to reform the nation's immigration system. A group called Freedom Watch is representing Arpaio, the sheriff in Maricopa County, in the suit, which was filed shortly after Obama announced the executive action he plans to sign today in Las Vegas. The suit calls Obama's plan unconstitutional and asks for a preliminary restraining order to block it. House GOP Announce Dec 3 Hearing To Probe Obama's Immigration Edict. House Republicans are vowing to take every step they can to fight the president's unlawful executive edict on immigration. One of their first shots will come in the form of a House Homeland Security hearing on December 3 when the committee will ask Homeland Security Chief Jeh Johnson how the reduction in deportations will affect border security. Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas promised to use "every tool" at his disposal to fight the president's unconstitutional actions from being implemented. Obama signs executive orders delaying deportations for millions of illegal immigrants. President Obama signed two executive actions on Friday that would delay deportation for millions of illegal immigrants. The president, who signed the controversial policies aboard Air Force One, then spoke about his action at Del Sol High School in Las Vegas. Del Sol is the same school where he laid out his blueprint for immigration overhaul nearly two years ago. Several hundred protestors lined the streets holding "No Amnesty" and "Impeach Obama" signs. Union chief: Obama to shield 250K farm workers from deportation. President Obama's executive action on immigration will provide deportation relief to a quarter million farm workers, a top union executive said after a meeting at the White House on Wednesday [11/19/2014]. "We were pleased to learn from the President today that at least 250,000 farm workers (and at least 125,000 California farm workers) will be eligible for deportation relief under his executive action," said Arturo Rodriguez, the president of United Farm Workers (UFW), in a statement Wednesday. Don't Count Out The Court. With Obama's executive amnesty imminent, anonymous White House aides are cockily dismissing John Boehner's threatened lawsuit against it as a stunt. Even among opponents of executive amnesty — and I'm with them — there's a tendency to pooh pooh the suit. It's a loser, it will take forever to decide, it's an attempt to 'redirect Republican rage' away from budgetary remedies like denying funding, etc. Not so fast. I'm all for giving defunding a try — also holding up appointments — but don't sell the lawsuit short. The Game Plan to Stop Obama's Unconstitutional Amnesty. The Obama Administration is planning to pardon at least 4.5 million illegal aliens and grant them work permits. This move will allow them to receive driver's licenses and Social Security cards, and eventually obtain access to our welfare system. Additionally, as part of his coup, he is planning to make numerous changes to our immigration system — all without the consent of Congress. It's as if Article I Section 8 of the Constitution, which explicitly grants Congress plenary power over immigration and naturalization, does not exist. Obama Is Not a Monarch. The Constitution designs a system of checks and balances for our nation, and executive amnesty for immigrants here illegally unilaterally decreed from the White House would seriously undermine the rule of law. Our founders repeatedly warned about the dangers of unlimited power within the executive branch; Congress should heed those words as the president threatens to grant amnesty to millions of people who have come to our country illegally. To be clear, the dispute over executive amnesty is not between President Obama and Republicans in Congress; it is a dispute between President Obama and the American people. Obama's Amnesty Will Add As Many Foreign Workers As New Jobs Since 2009. President Barack Obama's unilateral amnesty will quickly add as many foreign workers to the nation's legal labor force as the total number of new jobs created by his economy since 2009. The plans, expected to be announced late Nov. 20, will distribute five million work permits to illegal immigrants, and also create a new inflow of foreign college graduates for prestigious salaried jobs, according to press reports. Obama has already provided or promised almost one million extra work permits to foreigners, while his economy has only added six million jobs since 2009. The Case against Obama's Amnesty. Just a few years ago, a prominent national Democrat firmly and unequivocally rejected the idea that the president of the United States could singlehandedly enact an amnesty program for millions of illegal immigrants. In 2011, for example, this Democrat reminded us that "there are laws on the books that Congress has passed," and that therefore it would not be permissible for the president to "suspend deportations through executive order." In 2013, this same Democrat noted that granting a unilateral amnesty for adults residing in our country illegally was "not an option," because it would amount to "ignoring the law." As you might have guessed, that Democrat was President Obama. DHS secretary says country could face new surge of illegals. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson warned Wednesday [11/19/2014] that the country could face another spike in illegal immigration as the U.S. economy picks up and as seasonal patterns change, though he said they have made major progress in combatting the surge of illegal immigrant children that wrong-footed his department earlier this year. "We're determined that we need to do more ourselves for border security," Mr. Johnson said in a speech at the National Press Club sponsored by Democratic group NDN. "I'm concerned about the possibility of another rise in illegal migration." Obama Is About to Commit an Act of Constitutional Infamy. Mr. Obama is now acting like, in his words, an "emperor." His hypocrisy is, even by his standards, staggering. But hypocrisy is not unusual in politicians and presidents; firing a missile aimed at our constitutional form of government is. And that is what Mr. Obama is about to do. Obama's Executive Order on Immigration Is Unlikely to Include Health Benefits. Millions of undocumented immigrants who are set to be granted a form of legal status by President Obama as early as this week will not receive one key benefit: government subsidies for health care available under the Affordable Care Act. Mr. Obama is preparing to use his executive authority to provide work permits for up to five million people who are in the United States illegally, and to shield them from deportation. But an official familiar with the administration's deliberations said on Tuesday [11/18/2014] that such people would not be eligible for subsidized, low-cost plans from the government's health insurance marketplace, HealthCare.gov. The Editor says... One week later, an update: In the aftermath of blanket amnesty, there's no need for detention. Trashing the republic to save his party with immigration 'reform'. [Scroll down] Why would President Obama do such a thing? It is simple. When people like him suffer crushing election losses, it is never because he is wrong, that his policies are terrible, or that nobody trusts him anymore. It is because there is something terribly wrong with the people who voted. That is why Mr. Obama actually declared after the election that he would dismiss the voices of this year's election voters in favor of the message he heard from all those people who didn't vote. He really did actually say that. While We Were "Grubering" The State Dept and DHS Executed "Operation Alien Influx". Last week, on a Friday no less, Joe Biden executed a full usurpation of immigration law that had nothing to do with Presidential Executive Orders. White House: Obama Is Not A King Or An Emperor But He Can Order Executive Amnesty. President Obama is not a king or an emperor, according to the White House, but he still has lawful authority to issue executive amnesty for illegal immigrants. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest explained to reporters that Obama still stood by his remarks about not being a king or an emperor of the United States, allowing him to act unilaterally on immigration reform. A White House Mass Pardon for Identity Thieves. President Obama is poised to show his "compassion" this week by granting work cards to an estimated five million illegal immigrants through an imperial executive order. As for the vast, untold number of law-abiding citizens whose identities have been stolen by foreign law-breakers, two words: Tough luck. Obama's Amnesty Will Loot Social Security To Give Your Money To Illegal Aliens. House conservatives correctly argued that the "Gang of Eight" bill and its various House companion bills would allow illegal aliens immediate access to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and various other welfare programs, such as food stamps. While the proponents of the "Gang of Eight" bill tried to finesse the issue the bottom line was and is that once the government gives a Social Security number and card to an illegal alien that opens up a whole smorgasbord of federal, state and local benefits — and it also opens up the possibility of registering to vote. Now the Federation of American Immigration Reform has produced a stunning report that details how Obama's planned illegal "executive amnesty" will provide the same free ride that the "Gang of Eight" bill did. Obama's royal flip-flop on using executive action on illegal immigration. With President Obama poised to take executive action to address immigration, perhaps as early as this week, he was challenged by a reporter to explain why he believed he could take this action now, after years of saying his hands were tied. The president responded with a Pinocchio-laden straw man, saying that the questions had a distinct focus: "their interest was in me, through executive action, duplicating the legislation that was stalled in Congress." But as we shall see, the questions actually specifically addressed the sorts of actions that he is contemplating now. The Great Immigration Betrayal. In the months since President Obama first seem poised — as he now seems poised again — to issue a sweeping executive amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants, we've learned two important things about how this administration approaches its constitutional obligations. First, we now have a clear sense of the legal arguments that will be used to justify the kind of move Obama himself previously described as a betrayal of our political order. Obama's imminent plans to halt deportations of millions of illegal immigrants divides Democrats. Senate Democrats are urging President Barack Obama to hold off on an immigration announcement until after Congress passes legislation to fund the government through next year. Members of the Democratic caucus in upper chamber are worried that imminent action by the president will provoke Republicans and derail debate on a critical spending bill, which must be enacted by Dec. 11 to avoid a government shut down. ICE Agents Demoralized by Obama's Treasonous Policies. Don't blame government agents for their failure to defend the country from invasion. They have to follow orders, even when these orders come from a quisling who does not mean the country well — which can't be much fun: [...] Cornyn: 'Criminal Organizations Would be One of the Biggest Beneficiaries' of Immigration Order. The Senate minority whip asserted on the floor yesterday that an executive order from President Obama on immigration would embolden criminal organizations south of the border. "The president has already made a number of unilateral changes in U.S. immigration policy with disastrous results," Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said. "We have seen literally thousands of convicted criminals released from U.S. custody, including those with violent records, and, of course, it wasn't that long ago we saw what had been called a genuine humanitarian crisis unfold along the southern border in my state." Goodlatte: Obama Opens 'Pandora's Box' By Letting Illegals Bring Central American Families to U.S.. President Barack Obama's administration is unveiling a plan to allow illegal aliens who receive amnesty under the president's planned executive action — and other aliens as well — to petition the government to bring family members from three Central American countries to the United States. The plan, from the State Department and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), would allow aliens to bring family members from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador — the three countries at the center of this past summer's border crisis — to America. Obama's potential immigration plan could enter uncharted territory. President Obama's expected action lifting the threat of deportation from millions of undocumented immigrants, which could come as early as this week, will expand the authority of the executive branch into murky, uncharted territory. The path is built on the long-accepted principle, going at least as far back as the 1970s, that any administration should have wide discretion over how it deals with those who are in this country illegally. Obama, however, is poised to take that leeway significantly farther [sic] than before. Politico: Conservative Stand Against Obama's Executive Amnesty Leaves White House in Disarray. The White House must have thought Republicans in Congress would fall in line behind Speaker John Boehner and let President Barack Obama do what he's "gotta do" on executive amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. Politico reports that as Republicans have instead organized behind incoming Senate Budget Committee chairman Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) to oppose the President, the Democrats and White House — including Obama himself — are showing signs of weakness. The Big Money Behind the Push for an Immigration Overhaul. When President Obama announces major changes to the nation's immigration enforcement system as early as next week, his decision will partly be a result of a yearslong [sic] campaign of pressure by immigrant rights groups, which have grown from a cluster of lobbying organizations into a national force. A vital part of that expansion has involved money: major donations from some of the nation's wealthiest liberal foundations, [...] The Editor says... Executive order on immigration would ignite a political firestorm. Reports are rampant that President Obama will sign an executive order as soon as this week that will allow up to 5 million undocumented immigrants to avoid deportation. Signing such an order would have explosive political consequences — it would not only reshape the near-term fights in Congress but also have a potentially profound effect on the two parties' national coalitions heading into the 2016 election and beyond. Here's What House GOP Could Do When Obama Issues His Immigration Order. When President Obama issues executive orders on immigration, House Republicans will be waiting with repercussions. They're readying for a fight as Obama crafts administrative action that could reportedly defer the deportation of as many as 5 million undocumented immigrants. This would likely count as the "big and bold" move Democrats are urging Obama to take, but many Republicans view this as an overreach of presidential power. It's an action that should have consequences, they say. A lawless presidency will destroy itself. The presence of an estimated 11 million illegals within our borders is a problem that must eventually be dealt with in a sensible manner. Mass deportations are neither feasible nor desirable, especially with those targeted by the president's orders that may have children or other family members who are either citizens or legal residents. It is also true that many Republicans that supported the bipartisan immigration compromise that passed the Senate last year signed on to a process that would have given illegals a path, albeit a difficult one, to citizenship. However, the need to address the problem doesn't justify the president's stand. Working for ICE 'is Hell right now,' as Obama plans amnesty for illegals. Morale among officers at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, already low, has reached a new bottom as illegal immigrants expecting amnesty from President Obama taunt and ridicule the overworked officers, according to a new report. "Yes," said one, "working for this agency is hell right now." That was the latest message to immigration policy critic Jessica M. Vaughan, director of policy studies for the Center for Immigration Studies. She has charted the woes of the officers who carry out the president's orders. Our Fundamental Problem Is That We Do Not Have An American President. Obama is proposing to change our immigration laws by executive fiat, something which has never been done in the history of the country. It is a bright-line impeachable offense such as has never been committed in the country's history. But Obama is willing to do it anyway, because for him the fundamental change that amnesty for tens of millions of illegal immigrants both already here and those sure to deluge the country in the weeks and months after the amnesty is granted is a prize worth its price. For Obama there is no dishonor in impeachment — he doesn't believe in the legitimacy of the opposition to his policies. [...] The next two years hold the prospect of our destruction as a constitutional republic. Is Immigration Americans' No. 1 Priority? The fourth issue of big-government overreach is extraordinarily dangerous. You can be sure that Barack Obama will completely bypass Congress and sign an executive order to basically extend amnesty to millions of illegals. This will be done whether there is an outcry from the American people or not. He already knows how Americans feel on this issue, but nothing will stop his agenda. Obama's immigration plan to reach far fewer than 4.7 million: lawyers. U.S. President Barack Obama's executive action easing the threat of deportation for 4.7 million undocumented immigrants is unlikely to cover many of those eligible because of practical hurdles, immigration lawyers said. Voters Strongly Oppose Legal Rights, Government Benefits for Illegal Immigrants. The Obama administration yesterday announced that it is spending $9 million to provide lawyers for some of the young illegal immigrants who flooded across the border earlier this year, but voters strongly believe these illegal immigrants do not have the same legal rights U.S. citizens do. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 68% of Likely U.S. Voters say the new illegal immigrants should not have the same legal rights and protections that U.S. citizens have. Obama Administration Providing Illegal Immigrants Taxpayer-Funded Lawyers. President Barack Obama's administration will spend $2 million dollars of taxpayer funds to provide illegal immigrant children with legal representation. On Friday [6/6/2014], the Justice Department announced a "justice AmeriCorps" program that will fund nearly 100 lawyers across 29 cities with one-year grants and stipends so they can represent illegal immigrants who have been flooding into the country and being warehoused, most notably in Texas. They must have found a lawyer who was willing to help.16 illegals sue Arizona rancher. An Arizona man who has waged a 10-year campaign to stop a flood of illegal immigrants from crossing his property is being sued by 16 Mexican nationals who accuse him of conspiring to violate their civil rights when he stopped them at gunpoint on his ranch on the U.S.-Mexico border. More about lawyers. Obama 'looking forward' to immigration order. President Obama is "looking forward" to taking executive action on immigration, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said in an interview published Tuesday [11/11/2014]. [...] The president's vow to act unilaterally has emerged as a major sticking point between the White House and congressional Republicans, who say last week's election results show voters do not want the president to act without Congress. Sheriffs Plan Massive Gathering in Washington to Oppose Executive Amnesty. Sheriffs across the country are planning a massive gathering in Washington, D.C., to speak out against President Obama's potential executive action on immigration. Sheriff Thomas M. Hodgson of Bristol County, Mass., sent a letter to organize a meeting of sheriffs in Washington, D.C., on December 10, two days before the existing government-funding bill expires, to meet with congressmen and encourage them to take action to secure the border. Obama prepares to defy voters' will — again. When Obama acts, Congress will have no choice but to react. Obama's edict will involve ordering the executive branch not to enforce laws that Congress has passed and that lawmakers have specifically declined to change. Writing the nation's immigration laws is the responsibility of Congress, and Obama's action will likely be a major encroachment on the legislature's constitutional authority. Sheriffs to March on Washington in Protest of Illegal Immigration Lawlessness. As President Obama continues to double down on his plans to inappropriately use his executive authority to rewrite immigration law, Sheriffs around the country have had enough and are planning to make their voices heard with a march on Washington D.C. in December. The march is being organized by Massachusetts Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson, not border sheriffs as people might expect. Under Obama program, illegals get driver's license, credit cards, Obamacare. President Obama's 2012 program to defer deportation of young illegal immigrants greatly eased their ability to get jobs, credit cards, bank accounts, driver's licenses and even Obamacare despite their undocumented status, according to a new Harvard University report. The review of over 2,000 young illegals given relief from deportation by Obama's June 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, found that many have won the same benefits as U.S. citizens, including higher education despite the failure of the so-called Dream Act that led to the president's initiative. House GOP Split on How to Stop Obama Executive Amnesty. Rep. Matt Salmon of Arizona is pushing his Republican colleagues to try to block the president from using executive action on immigration, but his plan is likely to hit strong resistance from House leaders. The federal government is currently funded through a continuing resolution that runs out at midnight on December 11. Salmon, echoing similar calls from Republican senators Jeff Sessions of Alabama and Mike Lee of Utah, proposes that Congress pass a bill that would fund the government until early next year. If the president moves ahead with his executive amnesty, the expiring continuing resolution would give Republicans an opportunity to block funding for the president's action after both houses of Congress are under Republicans' control. Obama's Amnesty Strategy. The day after the Republican Party won enough Senate seats to give them a majority in the U.S. Senate, President Obama reaffirmed his position that only those bills passed by Congress that are acceptable to him will be signed into law. He did not say that he will have his aides liaise with Congressional leaders to come up with a compromise which, once placed upon his desk, he would sign. He made no hint that he will communicate closely with Congress to craft bills. Obama also stated that if Congress doesn't resolve the immigration issue he will take executive action and resolve it himself, implying that he will issue a constitutionally improper executive order. Sheldon Adelson Blasts Conservative Amnesty Opponents Ahead of 2016. The Washington Post reports that Adelson, who spent nearly $100 million in 2012 and will likely spend a hefty sum in the 2016 GOP presidential primary, "upbraided many in the GOP for their opposition to legalizing millions" of illegal immigrants. He reportedly said that without a "comprehensive overhaul" that would legalize all of the country's illegal immigrants, the nation would not be "the America that I'm proud to live in. Inside the Plan to Block Obama's Amnesty. When many Republicans were still celebrating the GOP's historic electoral victory, conservatives on Capitol Hill began meeting in private to develop a plan to stop President Obama's planned executive action on immigration. The resounding support of the American people at the polls last week appears to have given some House and Senate Republicans new confidence that they can face down Obama and win. Yet that doesn't even mean they'll necessarily get their chance: Republican leadership in both bodies may resist putting up the stakes involved. Amnesty and Impeachment. [Scroll down] If the president refuses to enforce the immigration laws and grants something close to a blanket amnesty, we will be on an inexorable course toward citizenship — and, crucially, voting rights — for millions of illegal aliens, also known as Democrats waiting to happen. It is the Left's dream of a permanent, unassimilated, post-American governing majority. Is that where we are headed? Heads up to Obama, the GOP, and the media: You've got it all wrong!. Why should any restrictions be eased for people who have broken the law? It makes no sense. It is illogical, irrational, and unlawful. [...] What Obama is threatening to do is another drastic action that shreds our Constitution, does an end run around Congress, silences the will of the people, breaks the law, and further weakens America. President, VP May Differ on Immigration Strategy: 'Obama Angrily Cut Biden Off'. President Obama and Vice President Biden might not see eye-to-eye on immigration strategy. A hint of an apparent disagreement was on display during Obama's lunch with congressional leaders on Friday [11/7/2014] at the White House. Former members of Bush administration push for immigration reform. Just what exactly is "immigration reform," and why do we need it? As far as I can tell, immigration reform has become a slogan with no compelling mandate. We already have immigration laws on the books. We have a system for people to legally immigrate to the United States. And we have a system, at least in theory, to address those who are here illegally when they are caught. We don't need reform. We need to enforce the law. Sen. Ted Cruz fires a warning shot over Harry Reid's bow on "Obama's lawless amnesty". ["]We write to express our alarm with President Obama's announced intention to take unilateral executive action by the end of this year to lawlessly grant amnesty to immigrants who have entered the country illegally. The Supreme Court has recognized that "over no conceivable subject is the power of Congress more complete" than its power over immigration. Therefore, President Obama will be exercising powers properly belonging to Congress if he makes good on his threat. This will create a constitutional crisis that demands action by Congress to restore the separation of powers.["] At White House, Republicans Press Obama To Drop Executive Amnesty. Congressional GOP leaders urged President Obama to drop his plans to issue an executive amnesty at the White House, prompting an intense back-and-forth between the top leaders of both parties. A senior GOP aide with knowledge of the meeting's events said Boehner and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy's message on the issue was "very forceful" — and that Obama seemed taken aback by it. The intense brushback spawned 30 minutes of Obama defending himself on the issue and was a dominant issue in the meeting, the source said. Sen. Jeff Sessions: Congress Must Prohibit Funding for Unilateral Obama Amnesty. Granting "executive amnesty" to millions of people who came to the U.S. illegally "needs to be stopped," Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) told Fox News's Megyn Kelly Thursday night [11/6/2014]. "Congress simply has to bar the expenditure of any money to carry out such a scheme because it would be a very expensive scheme," Sessions said. Obama Wants Conservatives to Self-Cannibalize Over His Executive Action on Immigration. Having received a walloping in the elections, President Obama has promised to double down by tearing the country apart over illegal immigration. "I've shown a lot of patience," he said with characteristic conceit at Wednesday's contrition-free press conference. Make no mistake. It will be the opening salvo of a two-year campaign that will decide which course the country takes: one that fundamentally alters our way of life or one that conserves our many blessings. Here's How Conservatives Aim to Stop Obama's Action on Illegal Immigrants. Aides to conservative members of the U.S. Senate say their bosses are rallying around a strategy to prevent President Obama from taking executive action to move illegal immigrants toward citizenship: Use government funding bills to withhold the money the president needs to implement his plan. At the same time, some of the Senate's most conservative members are worried that party leadership could try to strike a deal with Democrats in the lame duck session on a longer-term spending agreement that could limit lawmakers' ability to defund whatever Obama decides to do. Voters Reject Illegal Alien Rewards. An important bloc of voters made their voices heard on Tuesday [11/4/2014]. Their message: Quit rewarding people who violate our immigration laws. They chose a sovereign nation over an illegal alien sanctuary nation, and they told politicians in both parties loud and clear: Put Americans first. Will D.C. listen? These voters are tired of politicians creating magnets for illegal immigrants. They're tired of preferential treatment for defiant border-crossers, visa overstayers and deportation fugitives. They're tired of the heavy costs and consequences of the government's systemic refusal to protect its borders and fully implement interior enforcement. Illegal Immigration: Too High a Toll. While Mexico relies on more than $20 billion in annual remittances from Mexican expatriates in the U.S., illegal immigration continues to cost Los Angeles County taxpayers alone nearly $2 billion a year and siphons resources away from vital municipal services for legal immigrants and county residents. Our healthcare delivery system has become the HMO for the world, and our education system is failing. In public safety, 25 percent of our county jail inmates are illegal — and the cost of illegals on our county's justice system is $550 million per year, including incarceration, prosecution, defense and probation. Why These 6 Senators Say Obama Is Risking a 'Constitutional Crisis' Over Amnesty. Despite yesterday's [11/4/2014] electoral losses, Obama is reportedly moving forward with an immigration plan before the end of the year. In a letter today to outgoing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., the six senators expressed their concern over Obama's vow to take executive action. According to the letter, such action would "lawlessly grant amnesty to immigrants who have entered the country illegally." Did Obama's immigration punt backfire? The biggest Election Day question haunting the White House is this: did President Obama blow it by bowing to Southern senate Democrats and delaying action on effectively legalizing millions of undocumented workers? Mr. Obama promised to use executive authority before the election to defer deportation of untold millions of undocumented laborers with no felony convictions and a long record of residency. The administration never said how many would qualify but estimates ranged from three million to nine million. Deliver an Anti-Amnesty Message That Democrats Won't Soon Forget. Every single Senate Democrat voted for the Obama-backed plan to provide immediate work permits to 12 million illegal immigrants — allowing them to compete for any job in America. This legislation would also double the rate at which low-wage guest workers are brought into the U.S. to fill jobs throughout the economy. Further, the legislation would triple the rate of permanent immigration, giving lifetime work permits and citizenship to over 30 million immigrants over the next ten years. Republican senators warn Obama against executive action on amnesty. Three of President Obama's GOP partners on immigration warned him Thursday [10/30/2014] not to try to act on his own to grant legal status to illegal immigrants, saying the border is not yet secure enough from either illegal immigration or potential terrorist threats. Rep. Smith Slams Use of Obamacare Funds to Promote 'Dreamer' Amnesty. In a letter to House Appropriations Chair Harold Rogers (R-Ky.) on Tuesday, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) called for defunding a provision in Obamacare that has been allowing taxpayer dollars set aside for public health initiatives to fund television ads for President Obama's illegal alien amnesty programs. In his letter, Smith cites a $15 million grant from the Prevention and Public Health Fund that the Department of Health and Human Services gave the California Endowment. The Prevention and Public Health Fund was created by the Affordable Care Act to support public health care initiatives. The California Endowment is a statewide, private health foundation that supplies grants for various organizations throughout California, and has served as one of the Obama administration's loudest promoters of Obamacare. Deflationary Effects of Illegal Immigration. The push for a higher minimum wage is driven by the phenomenon that average wages have not increased as they might have been expected to over the course of the economic recovery. The situation isn't really a "phenomenon" at all. Simple supply and demand charts of jobs vs. available labor are all that is needed here. The estimates vary, but the working number of illegals in this country hovers around the 11 million mark. Do any liberal economists notice that an increase of 11 million in the labor pool increases the supply and thus inhibits the increase in average wages? [...] Labor costs are down because of the influx of illegals and those who have overstayed their visas. La Raza's Advocacy Little More Than A Scheme To Encourage Illegals To Vote. The National Council of La Raza is promoting no-identification voting states to its followers. Might that have something to do with its advocacy of illegal immigration and the Democrats' flagging electoral fortunes? Immigration union chief blasts W.H. amnesty plan. The union president representing 12,000 immigration service agents said Monday he is staunchly opposed to President Obama using executive action to allow millions more illegal immigrants to obtain green cards and work permits. Kenneth Palinkas, president of the National Citizenship and Immigration Service adjudicators and personnel, called reports about planned executive action "dangerous" and said it would increase "exponentially" the health risks, threats to national security and expense to taxpayers that he said are on the rise because of lax enforcement of immigration laws. It's Time to Stand Up For American Workers. Today [10/27/2014] Peter Kirsanow, a Civil Rights Commissioner, wrote President Obama to urge him to abandon the executive amnesty that is planned for after the election. Kirsanow's letter focuses on the damage an amnesty, and increased legal immigration, will do to American workers, especially African-Americans and STEM workers. The White House Gaslights America on Immigration. The evidence by this point has become pretty overwhelming that the White House plans some sort of mass amnesty via executive fiat immediately after the elections have concluded. Disgruntled Democrat Hispanics have openly declared that Obama has promised them as much, and earlier this week, Breitbart News revealed that the Administration was placing a supply order that would enable them to issue 34 million green cards, which would represent either a drastic and unprecedented increase in work visa issuage or (more likely) a one-time massive order for them pursuant to an Obama executive order. Congressman Warns, "Republic is Dead" if Obama Moves Forward With This Plan. A sitting congressman suggests that if President Barack Obama moves forward to enact amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants via executive order after the midterm elections and the American people do not rise up in protest, it will mean that the "republic has been destroyed." Rep. Steve King said that such an action would amount to a blatant violation of the limits on presidential power imposed by the Constitution. Labor Secretary: Obama Will Take 'Aggressive Exec Action' On Immigration For 'Shared Prosperity'. Addressing the National Press Club this week, Perez, who is reportedly on the short list to be Obama's next attorney general, said the country needed to "fix our broken immigration system" with comprehensive amnesty legislation that is "big and bold" to ensure that there is "shared prosperity," which he said is a goal of his Labor Department. Though the Congressional Budget Office determined that comprehensive amnesty legislation would lower the wages of American workers, Labor Secretary Perez championed it. Jaw-Dropping Level of 'Progressive' Voter Fraud Already Everywhere You Look. For all those — like myself — who figured Obama was only flooding us with illegals so as to later register them as lifelong Democrats, SURPRISE: it's here now, as illegal immigrants present on nation's soil for dubious reasons have been already automatically added to voter registration lists in North Carolina through Obama's 'Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals' program. You know, same North Carolina where skeevy Team Obama conspired to sign-up 11,000+ illegally-registered voters last time round... and not coincidentally, where no voter ID law exists. Green cards on the table. The White House intended to remain silent about its plans for immigration. Revealing a scheme to open the floodgates of amnesty would be disastrous on the eve of the critical midterm elections. But this is the gang that can't shoot straight. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on Friday [10/17/2014] threw open the door to as many as 100,000 Haitians, who will now move into the United States without a visa. Obama "deferred action" program is putting illegal aliens on voter rolls. With early voting starting Thursday, North Carolina's election board found 154 ineligible voters on its poll lists — and officials are examining thousands more questionable registrations. The illegal immigrants landed on the state's voter rolls, courtesy of the Obama administration's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. The State Board of Elections said late Tuesday [10/21/2014] that more than 9,000 additional voters' names are being checked for legal status. They do not expect to finish checking before early voting starts Thursday. Obama plans to open immigration floodgates; transforming 'America into nation no one will recognize'. You may have read that President Obama is quietly preparing to issue as many as 34 million green cards to illegal aliens, thereby transforming the country and the electorate into something other than a civil society. And the process has already started. Camden forum on driver's licenses for undocumented draws 300. Eufracia Mora and her husband run a commercial and residential painting business, and often have to drive from two to three hours for a job. The parents of two small children ride the whole way unlicensed and on edge. "I'm always nervous every time I get in the car," Mora said, "Every day I drive for work, or I drive the kids to school, I'm worried I'll see a police car." The Editor says... Obama: They Still Don't Get Who He is. Fundamentally transforming America as founded requires open borders and granting amnesty to several millions of unskilled needy illegals. Eventually, illegals will be granted amnesty and the right to vote. Then, the Democrats' insidious deception will begin; convincing the new faux Americans that they are victims of racist white rich Republicans. Step two is to seduce/addict them to government handouts. The Step three is a promise to keep their supposed evil Republican Nemesis at bay. And presto, millions of new Democrat voters. Exclusive: Obama Administration Quietly Prepares 'Surge' Of Millions Of New Immigrant IDs. Despite no official action from the president ahead of the election, the Obama administration has quietly begun preparing to issue millions of work authorization permits, suggesting the implementation of a large-scale executive amnesty may have already begun. Unnoticed until now, a draft solicitation for bids issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Oct. 6 says potential vendors must be capable of handling a "surge" scenario of 9 million id cards in one year "to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements." Obama Admin: We May Need 'Surge' Of Millions Of Immigrant Ids 'For Any Number Of Reasons'. In its first public response after Breitbart News reported that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is quietly preparing the capacity to issue more than double its baseline number of green cards and employment permits, a USCIS spokesman said such preparation is routine and that a spike in immigration applications could arise "for any number of reasons." [...] A year ago, such a plan might have been attributed to a forthcoming immigration bill. Now, following the summer's border crisis, the chances of such a new law are extremely low, giving additional credence to the possibility the move is in preparation for an executive amnesty by Obama. Up to 34 million blank 'green cards' and work permits to be ordered ahead of Obama illegal immigrant 'amnesty'. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services plans to seek a vendor to produce as many as 34 million blank work permits and 'green cards' — the paperwork that authorizes illegal immigrants to live and work in the United States — as the White House prepares to issue an executive order after the Nov. 4 midterm elections. According to a draft solicitation published online, the government agency will look for a company that can produce a minimum 4 million cards per year for five years, and 9 million in the early stages. Obama Quietly Prepares 34 Million Green Cards and Work Permits for His Illegal Alien "Amnesty". Remember, he's got a pen and a phone! And isn't that all that the Constitution requires? [...] Hey, don't the American people overwhelmingly favor importing tens of millions of largely illiterate refugees from Third World countries — with unknown health conditions and criminal backgrounds — who will be dependent on the imploding welfare state? White House Punts on USCIS Request for 'Surge' of Immigration ID's. A draft solicitation for bids issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Oct. 6 says potential vendors must be capable of handling a "surge" scenario of nine million id cards in one year "to support possible future immigration reform initiative requirements." The request for proposals says the agency will need a minimum of four million cards per year. Obama Quietly Begins Unilateral Immigration Reform. President Obama Friday made a downpayment on the sweeping immigration "reform" he is expected to unilaterally declare once the elections are out of the way, permitting up to around 100,000 prospective Haitian immigrants to bypass immigration law and enter the country. The move, a typical Friday announcement designed to attract minimum notice, eliminated wait times for future Florida Democratic voters Haitians who have been approved to gain green cards in two years, allowing them to make their way to the United States beginning in 2015 instead and begin working if they want. Their entry has to have been petitioned by "family" members already in the United States. What Obama's nakedly political moves say about our screwed-up polity. More and more, the president seems uninterested in even trying to hide the fact that he is making policy moves based on political considerations — in confessing he has to act one way until after the next election, at which point he can act another way. The most obvious example was the administration's decision to delay immigration action until after the 2014 election — for admittedly political purposes. Obama admin. to allow thousands of Haitians into U.S. without visas: 'Which countries are next?' The ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee took the Obama administration to task Friday [10/17/2014] for its "irresponsible" plan to allow as many as 100,000 Haitians to immigrate to the U.S. without a visa. Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said the administration's Haitian Family Reunification Parole Program — which will allow thousands of Haitians awaiting a U.S. visa to enter the country and legally apply for work permits — is "an irresponsible overreach of the executive branch's authority." You
Want Executive Action? Here's Some Executive Action. The president promises to
lawlessly amnesty millions of illegal aliens on his own say-so, enabling them to get work cards,
Social Security numbers, driver's licenses, EITC, foreign travel documents, and the rest. But there
are executive powers that he really does possess that he's not using. Senator Sessions has helpfully
provided a number of "lawful, constitutional executive actions" that the president should already be
undertaking but isn't: The Staggering Immigration Poll Numbers Driving Even Democrats To Denounce Amnesty. When a Democratic Senate candidate, a darling of Hollywood liberals, starts attacking Republicans over supporting amnesty, you know something is going on, even if it is in a red state. The Racism of Open Borders. Democrats, "progressives", liberals, communists, and fascists have all declared, albeit in rather shrill and hysterical tones, that we can't close our borders, and to try is clearly racist. Does it seem odd to anyone else that every other country in the world, without exception, has restricted borders but us? In Oregon Green Card Fraud Case, No Fear Of The Law. Does immigration law even exist? It's not enough that illegals cross our border with impunity. Now we have Oregon's "first lady" brazenly admitting to green-card fraud. When is the law going to mean something? America's "Elites" Are No Longer Elite And Our "Intellectuals" Aren't Intellectual. How could it be that a nation that guided Germany and Japan away from violence and barbarism lost so much confidence in our culture that we no longer feel comfortable telling immigrants in our own nation that they need to assimilate into our culture? That is what happens when a nation that used to be a meritocracy embraces mediocrities as "elites" and "intellectuals" for nothing more than spewing political correctness and refusing to rock the boat. Don't Want Thousands of Illegal Aliens Shipped in Secret to Your Town? Tough.. One small Virginia town is the target of a racial discrimination complaint from a fair housing group and a shuttered college, the potential beneficiary of a plan to house minors who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. Word broke this summer the federal government — at the original suggestion of Virginia Secretary of Health and Human Resources Bill Hazel and Secretary of Education Anne Holton — was pursuing a contract with the closed St. Paul's College in Lawrenceville to house what could be hundreds of immigrants. Locals made it clear they had serious concerns, and about 1,000 people showed up at a June 19 town hall meeting in the Southern Virginia town of 1,300 to protest. The federal government consequently backed down and looked elsewhere to house the teens and younger children. With Illegals, Lawlessness Begets Lawlessness. Most recently, the Daily Caller reported that illegals are being allowed to enroll in public schools without any immunization. Those are the same people who this summer brought a raft of communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, scabies and scarlet fever as they flooded across the Texas border from Latin America, lured by well-developed smuggling networks and the promise of "permisos" enabling them to stay. They've also been allowed to board commercial jets without proper identification as illegals, while legal citizens wait in long lines, compelled to produce one document after another. The same is true in prisons. Many illegals are released early instead of serving full sentences, creating a jailhouse scam in which legal convicts claim to be illegals to qualify for deportation instead of serving their time. Obama's Trojan Horses. Insidiously, President Obama is using beautiful and needy illegal alien kids as perfect Trojan Horses to continue his fundamental transformation of America. A Hudson Institute study shows that illegals granted amnesty by Obama are far less inclined to assimilate, embrace English, the concept of American Exceptionalism, and respect our Constitution. The study also shows that illegals granted a "get into America free" pass from Obama do not view America as being better than other countries, thus, putting these future Democrat voters on the same page as Obama and the MSM. Obama using kids as time-release Trojan Horses for his transformation of our country is brilliantly evil. His exploitation of these kids includes using them as human shields, providing cover for his hidden-in-plain-sight criminal illegal alien invasion of America. This arrogant evil man is skillfully exploiting the compassion, generosity and goodness of the American people. Until We Stop the Flood, We Will Never Overcome This Border Crisis. There is a common mistake made by caring Christians in thinking that the duty of a government and the duty of a Christian individual are the same. They are quite different, and the differences are critical. If a government turns the other cheek, is meek in the face of attack or threat to its citizens' way of life, then the people in that nation suffer. The government must follow its own laws fairly and impartially so that it does not encourage lawlessness. The New Pathway to Citizenship. Assimilation is no longer the goal of immigration. Immigration used to be assimilation into the American culture, becoming an American citizen. But the left has devised a new requirement for bringing the "frightened people" who broke the law "out of the shadows." Never mind that they live among us in plain sight, free to come and go as they please, taking advantage of our country and of our hospitality. The new pathway to citizenship is forcing Americans to accept law breakers as equals, as citizens with the same rights and benefits but not the same responsibilities we have as American citizens. The Hell That is the Obama White House. [Scroll down] The same desire to overwhelm and permanently suppress the opposition drives the war that Obama and the Democrats have conducted against America's borders and therefore American sovereignty. Their plan is too flood the country with illegals of whatever stripe who will be grateful enough for the favor to win them elections and create a permanent majority in their favor. The immediate result of these efforts is that we have no secure southern border, and therefore no border; and therefore we have effectively invited criminals and terrorists to come across and do Americans harm. Illegal immigrant students bring '21 Spanish dialects' that teachers don't understand. The placement of illegal immigrant students has wreaked havoc on schools across the country. Many schools that have never had to deal with challenging situations related to immigrant students are now forced to do just that because of the federal government's actions. Poll: 71%, Including Majority of Dems, Say No Government Benefits for Illegal Newcomers. An overwhelming majority of likely voters, including a majority of Democrats, believe illegal immigrants from Central America should not be eligible for taxpayer-funded government benefits, according to a new poll. A Rasmussen Reports poll found that 71% "say these illegal newcomers should not be eligible for government services and benefits." Only 16% think "they are entitled to government aid" while 13% are undecided. "Immigration Rights": What Are They? Legally, of course, no one has a right to violate our immigration laws, whether the Obama administration enforces them or not. So what does the president have in mind here? It seems clear that Obama isn't suggesting that immigrants are somehow being denied their actual rights under American law. Certainly he made no such explicit claim. Rather, his point appears to be that some people — not everyone in the world presumably, but some unspecified group of people — have a "right" to enter the United States, or stay here, even though it is illegal to do so under U.S. law, as long as Barack Obama opposes the law in question. Labor Secretary: Obama Wants Amnesty Because He Believes America Is Part of Global Universe. Wednesday at his speech to members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Labor Secretary, Thomas Perez said President Barack Obama will fulfill his promise to use an executive order to grant amnesty for up to 6 million illegal immigrants already living in the United States because he "has someone who has lived overseas, he understands that we are a global universe here in the United States and everywhere." The Revolucionary is Right. Americans did not worry about the massive migration of Mexicans and other third-world immigrants for many years due to their belief in equality and the idea of the American melting pot. Unfortunately, both concepts are complete myths, devoid of any support from logic, history or science. Despite the best efforts of the academic thought police and pop literary fantasists, such as Jared Diamond and Malcolm Gladwell, various scientific disciplines have quietly, but inexorably been demolishing the equalitarian hypothesis with regard to race, culture and sex. There is, quite simply, no such thing as human equality in any material sense. Most New Immigrant Families Fail to Report. For nearly three months this summer, the Obama administration carefully avoided answering questions about what happened to tens of thousands of immigrant families caught illegally crossing the Mexican border and released into the United States with instructions to report back to immigration authorities. Massive 'Residential Center' to Open in Texas for Illegal Immigrants. A large new immigrant housing center will be opened in South Texas. The South Texas Family Residential Center will ultimately hold 2,400 individuals, primarily families, who were apprehended while crossing the Texas-Mexico border. During their stay at the center foreigners will be provided with taxpayer-funded "medical care, play rooms, social workers, educational services, and access to legal counsel," Breitbart Texas has learned. The facility will open in November in Dilley, Texas, which is located about 70 miles southwest of San Antonio. GOP Asks Obama To Reveal His Secret Amnesty Plans. GOP legislators rejected the business-backed bill after polls showed the public's growing opposition. If approved, the bill would have cut salaries and widened the wealth gap by doubling the annual inflow of immigrants and guest-workers up to nearly 4 million per year. That's almost level with the 4.3 million Americans who join the workforce each year. But White House officials read those polls too, and announced in early September that Obama would delay his executive amnesty until after the election. Rick Perry Defends In-State Tuition for Illegals, Despite Tough Border Talk. At an event today [9/21/2014] at the University of Texas Austin campus, Texas Governor Rick Perry reaffirmed his support of allowing illegal immigrant students to pay in-state tuition at Texas colleges and universities, while U.S. citizens from other states continue to pay higher out-of-state tuition rates. The Immigration Silver Bullet: Insurgents Chart a GOP Path To Victory. How can Republicans recapture the U.S. Senate from Harry Reid and the Democrats? A new Politico poll points to a winning strategy — if GOP leaders have the courage to use the remaining seven weeks to nationalize the elections around one game-changing issue. Go time: Illegals rushing border fearing U.S. crackdown. The summer lull in illegal border crossings from Mexico is about to give way to a rush of even more immigrants in a frenzy of fear that Washington is about to shut the door, according to several Hispanic leaders. In Honduras, for example, U.S. threats coupled with those from local leaders warning about the dangers of crossing the border have instead reenergized children and adults to run fast to America and pay inflated fees to "coyotes" to get them there. NY Democrats Pushing Hard to Grant Citizen, Voting Rights to Illegal Immigrants. Democrats in New York are pushing for — and openly hoping for — a chance to grant citizen and voting rights to illegal immigrants, making the Empire State a sanctuary state. A bill titled the New York Is Home Act, [...] has received little attention from the media because it seems so far-fetched. In fact, we personally had a reporter from ABC News respond to an e-mail asking if illegals were being given a path to citizen and voting rights through the municipal ID program, scoffing at the suggestion. Admittedly, even during our report we also scoffed at the idea, saying the New York Is Home Act has "no chance of passing." Unfortunately, that may not be true after all. Lives for Votes. While both parties are to some degree to blame for the porousness of our southern border, the party that has the singular ability to solve the problem via the levers of government, the Democrats, is ensuring that the problem becomes so pervasive and vast that it will be virtually unsolvable by generations of future elected representatives. We witnessed the jarring spectacle of the president this past weekend absurdly blaming our recent influx of illegal aliens on the aliens themselves, as if he was powerless to stop them and knew nothing about his own policies ensuring both reward and opportunity once across our border. Passport and social security number in one day if you are illegal. [Scroll down] That is exactly what happened to a busload of Mexicans who arrived from Laredo in Memphis, Tennessee. According to the video posted by therightscoop.com, an American citizen confronted some of the members of the group who spoke no English, had been in the U.S. one day, but already had Social Security numbers and new Mexican passports issued not by the Mexican Consulate but by the Social Security office in Memphis. As the videographer says in his citizen video, "They should get these [passports] in Mexico. Latinos Threatening To Sit Out Elections Because Of Pres. Obama's About-Face On Immigration Reform. Some Latino Democrats, saying they are fed up with President Barack Obama's broken promises on immigration reform, are threatening to sit out the midterm elections and claim there will be backlash at the ballot box come November. Obama shelves immigration action; Hispanic activists enraged. Immigrant-rights groups reacted furiously Saturday [9/6/2014] after the White House made clear President Obama will not take unilateral action on immigration before November's elections, nodding at the political realities of the issue as he punted on the key policy questions. With a number of key Senate races in GOP-leaning states, Democrats had feared that action now would anger voters and cost them control of the upper chamber, and had privately begged the White House to hold off on any move to halt deportations. GOPs: Obama Delay Means 'Radical Agenda,' 'Blanket Amnesty' in the Works. Republicans lashed out at President Obama's decision to delay an immigration executive order until after midterm elections, saying the move is proof that what is coming will be drastic. "Once again, President Obama is playing political games to protect his liberal friends in November by using sleight of hand to temporarily hide his radical agenda from the American people," House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) said. "The president needs to abandon his attempt to issue blanket amnesty by executive order, and instead focus on securing the border as the House already did." Immigration Activist Warns Dems Will Face Voter Backlash After Obama's Amnesty Flip-Flop. Immigration activist Erika Andiola warned President Obama that his party may face electoral consequences over his failure to enact executive amnesty before the November elections, claiming "people are not going to feel as engaged to go out and vote" after hearing "promises being broken by the president." On Monday [9/8/2014], a panel on MSNBC's "Jose Diaz-Balart" savaged the White House's decision to delay promised executive amnesty for as many as six million illegal immigrants until after November, heeding calls from Senate Democrats desperate to hang onto their jobs. Obama immigration delay means 60,000 to be deported by November. Mr. Obama's decision to put off any action until after midterm elections, which the White House leaked Saturday hours before he announced it himself in an interview with NBC, was mocked by Republicans and enraged immigrant rights groups, who said they felt betrayed after throwing their support to the president in the 2012 election. In the near term, it could help several vulnerable Senate Democrats who feared that unilateral action by Mr. Obama doom their campaigns. Obama Will Legalize Millions After the Election Because You're Stupid. [President Obama] originally promised that, by summer, he would legalize as many as 6 million, not counting the family members who will extend that number far beyond 5-6 million because of the chain migration meant to keep families together. His self-imposed delay is to not damage election prospects of congressmen up for reelection. He believes Americans are too stupid to understand the implications if they don't actually see it. Gov. Jerry Brown: Nearly 30% of CA Kids Illegal or 'Don't Speak English'. A California Immigrant Policy Center report found that there are 2.6 million illegal immigrants in California (or 26% of all immigrants) while illegal immigrants make up nearly 10% of the state's workforce, including "38% of the agriculture industry and 14% of the construction industry." 24,639,000: Record Number of Foreign-Born Hold Jobs in U.S.. The number of foreign-born individuals holding jobs in the United States hit a recorded high of 24,639,000 in August, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS has been tracking the number of foreign-born workers annually since 2005 and monthly since 2007. The BLS does not distinguish between foreign-born individuals who are in the United States legally and those who are here illegally. La Raza Pushes Obama To 'Fulfill His Promise' On Amnesty [Video]. In the face of a White House backtrack on executive amnesty, National Council of La Raza spokeswoman Janet Murguia pressed President Obama to "fulfill his promise" to approximately six million illegal immigrants, declaring that "we're done waiting." More Senate Dems Caution Against Executive Amnesty Before Midterms. Despite admonitions from amnesty activists, more Senate Democrats are urging Obama against extending executive amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, especially before the November elections, according to a Politico report. "I have concerns about executive action," Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken, said in a statement Thursday [9/4/2014], reported by Politico. "This is a job for Congress, and it's time for the House to act." In recent weeks Democrats in red states facing tough reelection races have pushed back against the president taking unilateral action on immigration reform. Nearly 1 in 10 California workers are here illegally, study finds. A report released Wednesday [9/3/2014] by researchers at USC found that immigrants who are in California illegally make up nearly 10% of the state's workforce and contribute $130 billion annually to its gross domestic product. The study, which was conducted in conjunction with the California Immigrant Policy Center, was based on census data and other statistics, including data from the Department of Labor and the Department of Homeland Security. It looked at a variety of ways the estimated 2.6 million immigrants living in California without permission participate in state life. US Signs Agreement with Mexico to Protect Mexican Workers — Including Illegals. At a signing ceremony on Friday [8/29/2014], the U.S. government, through the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Mexican government to allow Mexican Nationals — regardless of immigration status — to "exercise their workplace rights." The MOU is consistent with the "core mission of this commission," Mexican Ambassador to the United States Eduardo Medina Mora Icaza said, adding "that regardless of national origin or immigration status all workers have rights and there are processes to safeguard them. Study: Typical Illegal Resident in U.S. for More Than 12 Years. The number of people living in the U.S. illegally last year was steady at 11.3 million, the Pew Research Center reported Wednesday [9/3/2014]. But with the passing of time, the illegal population now has been in the U.S. much longer than was the case in previous years. In 2013, the typical undocumented resident had been living in the U.S. for 12.7 years, Pew found, up from a median of less than eight years a decade earlier. Those numbers could bolster the case made by many Democrats, and some Republicans, that the illegal immigration — problem is not growing worse, and that those already living here have become part of the fabric of American society. Problems abound with health law immigration papers. More than 200,000 immigrants who bought insurance through President Barack Obama's health care initiative could lose their coverage this month if they don't submit proof this week they are legally in the country, but language barriers and computer glitches are hindering efforts to alert them. The Editor says... Obama About to Fire His Smoking Gun Again. Those who think that either the Constitution or possible negative consequences to the Democratic Party will deter President Obama from acting unilaterally on immigration policy probably still don't understand what makes this man tick. [...] The Washington Post is reporting that both Democrats and Republicans "are in a state of high anxiety" over the possibility that Obama will issue an executive order allowing millions of people who entered the country illegally to stay in the United States in contravention of Congress, which clearly hasn't authorized this move. The Post says both parties, for different reasons, fear that such an action by Obama could negatively impact their prospects in November's midterm elections. Obama's threat — and that's what it is, a threat, because there's nothing positive about his acting lawlessly again, especially for such a nefarious purpose — brings back more un-sweet memories. Obama May Delay Immigration Fiat. President Obama is considering a delay of his expected move to legalize millions of illegal immigrants, as White House advisors worry that the executive action could harm the prospects of Democratic candidates in politically divided or GOP-leaning states, according to the New York Times. Obama's use of executive authority is about to become a real political issue. President Obama is weighing a big-time executive action on immigration that has both Democrats and Republicans anxious. He's also pursuing a major international climate-change agreement without ratification by Congress. And it's not yet clear whether the White House will seek congressional authorization for military action in Syria that appears increasingly likely. Yes, we are finally entering into what could be a very big debate about executive authority — and with the 2014 election just weeks away. Louie Gohmert: Obama Isn't Going to Do Executive Amnesty. Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), one of the key conservative members in the House of Representatives, predicted on Fox News on Thursday [8/28/2014] that President Barack Obama's threats of unilateral amnesty are all smoke and no fire. "I don't think he will [do an executive amnesty]," Gohmert said when Fox News' Neil Cavuto asked him if it's an "impeachable offense" for the president to grant executive amnesty to upwards of five million illegal aliens. Obama Vows Executive Action On Immigration Reform. After wrapping up questions at his press conference today, President Obama returned to the podium to answer a question from a reporter about his strategy on acting on immigration. Obama explained that although "hope springs eternal" that Congress would address immigration reform, he felt that he had to act to make the system better. "We've had a lot of stakeholder discussions, that set of proposals is being worked up," he said, referring to several meetings at the White House with immigration activists and business leaders. Obama's immigration decision could roil 2014 election. In the past few days, Democratic candidates in nearly every closely fought Senate race have criticized the idea of aggressive action by Obama. Some strategists say privately that it would signal that he has written off the Democrats' prospects for retaining control of the chamber, deciding to focus on securing his legacy instead. Illegal Aliens Storm the Beach in San Diego, Second Attempt Thwarted. Illegal aliens successfully landed on a San Diego beach in a panga boat on Monday [8/25/2014] and ran to shore — but, when another group tried the same thing on Tuesday, U.S. Customs and Border (CBP) agents were waiting for them. Around 7am Monday morning, a horde of illegal aliens stormed a San Diego beach after coming ashore in a panga boat. They sprinted across the beach and climbed over a wall, entering the city. Dem Rep: Obama Must Go Forward On Amnesty To Quell Latino Racial Unrest. Thursday on MSNBC's "José Díaz-Balart," Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) said President Barack Obama should use an executive order and grant amnesty to an estimated 5 million illegal immigrants already living in the United States because it will "quell some of the unrest" caused by "racial overtones" of anti immigration rhetoric. He said, "Latinos that are fourth, fifth generation — they see this as a civil rights issue." AFL-CIO head: Obama must 'go bold' on immigration. AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said Thursday he expects President Obama will take executive action on immigration, but warned that if he doesn't "go bold," he risks alienating the Democratic base while invigorating Republicans. Trumka also said that workers were frustrated with the president and Democrats more broadly for failing to focus on issues important to them. Judicial Watch Files Taxpayer Lawsuit against University of California to End In-State Tuition, Grants for Illegal Aliens. The suit also seeks an end to approximately $4 million annually being awarded to illegal aliens in taxpayer-funded grants and scholarships. The taxpayer lawsuit was filed on behalf of California resident Earl De Vries. Under California law, taxpayers have the right to sue government officials to prevent unlawful expenditures of taxpayer funds and taxpayer-financed resources. Border chaos: 375,000 pending immigration cases, Obama lawyers AWOL. Two top federal judges Wednesday said the nation's immigration courts are in chaos, with the backlog of cases at an historic high of 375,000 for just 227 judges, leading to a minimum three-year delay in hearings for illegal immigrants. In Washington to take advantage of the current crisis to demand a new court system, the judges accused the Justice Department of treating their courts like Cinderella's abusive family by starving them of money and support and blamed the insufficient Justice funding for letting illegals "linger" in the country. Luis Gutiérrez Is Basically Giggling with Excitement about Obama's Executive Amnesty Plans. "Huge," "bold," and "unprecedented" is how a thrilled Representative Luis Gutiérrez (D., Ill.) described reports that the Obama administration is considering granting legal status to up to 5 million illegal immigrants. He's especially excited, he said, because the White House is actually trying to downplay the significance of the huge measure. Where Governmental Incompetence Ends and Malice Begins. The US Chamber of Commerce simply cares far more about corporate profits than the citizens of the country, as evident by their endless push for amnesty. They are nakedly advocating in order to drive wages down. Such a scheme can only work when government's large safety net picks up the legions of unemployed. The foolish business-Republicans have clearly not considered the taxes which will surely be required to pay for this policy. The American citizenry is getting in the way of the American government. La Raza: Five Million [is] the 'Floor' of What We Want to See Obama Do. The White House has indicated that President Obama will take some kind of executive action on immigration at the end of summer, but the administration has been tight-lipped about the specifics of such a move. Reports have indicated that the executive action could provide legalization for some five million undocumented immigrants already in the United States — something Lisa Navarrete, adviser to the president of La Raza, explained to Breitbart News in a Tuesday [8/26/2014] interview would be welcome but really the "floor" number of what her group is looking to accomplish. Build the border fence already! Most of us, even many Democrats these days, are beginning to acknowledge the complete foreign policy failure of our president, but we still have to deal with over two years of Obama and we have a serious problem that needs to be handled immediately. [...] So what are we going to do about it? Well, there's a lot that can be done militarily, though much of that will probably have to wait for a new president, but just as importantly we must [b]uild a fence across our entire Southern border and do it now. Make it as secure as we can. Spare no expense. Add whatever high tech accoutrements deemed necessary. Buchanan: Obama Will 'Set the Country Completely on Fire' with Executive Amnesty by Labor Day. On the Friday [8/22/2014] broadcast of "The McLaughlin Group," columnist Pat Buchanan predicted that President Obama would grant amnesty to illegal immigrants via executive order by Labor Day and that such an action would "set the country completely on fire." US Border Patrol Erects More Rescue Beacons for Illegals in Distress. The U.S. Border Patrol recently erected more desert rescue beacons near Tucson, beacons aimed at saving the lives of illegal aliens in distress. Reports revealed on Friday [8/22/2014] that the new beacons are part of an effort dubbed the Blue Light of Life campaign. The effort is designed to alert illegal immigrants to the dangers of crossing the desert-like stretches of our southern border and to give them aid if they face life threatening situations while doing so. Paul Ryan Suggests GOP Candidates In Midterms Should Run On Giving Illegals Citizenship. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) suggested that Republican candidates in this year's midterm elections should run on granting a pathway to citizenship for all of the country's illegal immigrants. Ryan, who had reportedly been working behind the scenes with Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) to get House Republicans to support a broader immigration bill, said that he was "having problems" convincing conservatives to support immigration reform, which he said was "very important." In a Wednesday [8/20/2014] interview with Bloomberg News, Ryan said he supported a "path to legalization" for all of the country's illegal immigrants. The Obama tee party. Trouble in the St. Louis suburbs has rescued President Obama's vacation. He can play all 18 holes at the country club now, safe in the knowledge that he's distracting voters from all the scandals, mismanagement and foreign and domestic policies that are the legacy of his administration. [...] Everyone in El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico is aware of his weakness. They know that if they sneak over the border, Mr. Obama will give them "papers," and they can stay and even become citizens without the hassle of waiting in line or learning the English language and absorbing American values. These newly minted residents will join the 110 million Americans already on some form of government assistance. They can sign up for Obamaphones, Obamacare and whatever other gifts the White House can think up. Sen. Sessions: CEOs 'Scheming with WH to Extract by Executive Fiat' Amnesty Congress Denied. Sen. Sessions says the CEOs are "scheming with the White House" to flout both Congress and the will of the people: "The same group of CEOs who helped write the Senate's Gang of Eight immigration bill in secret is now scheming with the White House to extract by executive fiat what was denied to them by the American people and Congress." If these companies so desperately needed illegal alien labor, they wouldn't be laying off American workers by the thousands, Sen. Sessions notes: "Even while they demand more foreign workers, these companies are laying off current employees in droves. [...]" Indiscrete Discretion. Contrary to the story line put forth by activists, and repeated uncritically by most of the media, the DACA decree was not a matter of simply delaying deportations of illegal aliens judged to be low-priority — the administration did that early on by formally exempting the vast majority of the illegal population from the workings of immigration law through a series of internal memos. Those directives, called the Morton Memos, after the then-director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, represent a nullification of existing immigration law, but not an affirmative grant of status. DACA, on the other hand, confers work permits, Social Security numbers, driver's licenses, documents allowing foreign travel, eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit and affirmative-action preferences, and more. It's an actual amnesty, "green-card lite," if you will. (Even Obama's most slavish acolytes don't claim he can confer green-card premium.) Hand grenades becoming key weapon in Mexican cartels' arsenals, say authorities. The devices, which sell for up to $500 on the Mexican black market, are primarily surplus military grenades obtained by cartels in Central America, where weapons from the civil wars in El Salvador and Nicaragua remain readily available. Top Senate Dems Running Away from Exec Amnesty. Top Senate Democrats who once egged on President Barack Obama to go big on executive amnesty are now punting on the issue after numerous polls have shown that illegal immigration could cost Democrats control of the Senate. Politico asked the offices of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and Michael Bennet (D-CO), the chair of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign, about Obama's potential executive amnesty for millions more illegal immigrants. They all either refused to answer or said the ball was in Obama's court. As Texas steps up border security, critics decry "militarization". On Wednesday [8/13/2014], Texas Governor Rick Perry visited National Guard troops who will soon beef up patrols along the border with Mexico. Perry says Texas had to act because the federal government has failed to secure the border. Perry has taken this political fight to a new level. Immigrant Students Flood Georgia School Registration Office. Immigrant students inundated a Georgia school district registration center this week seeking to sign up for classes. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) reports that nearly 200 families with immigrant students were waiting outside the DeKalb County registration facility early Monday morning [8/11/2014]. "We got here, and there was a long line," Sandra Nunez, head of the school district's International Welcome Center, told AJC. Sessions: Melt Down Senate's Phone Lines, Force Reid to Allow Vote on Executive Amnesty. Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) is throwing down the gauntlet again. He is calling on every American citizen to call their U.S. senators and demand to know where they stand on President Barack Obama's planned executive amnesty. The Maximalist. In 2011, President Obama, speaking before the National Council of La Raza, remarked that "I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own." He acknowledged the appeal of dictatorial action, but he said "that's not how our system works." The crowd responded, "Change it" and "Yes, you can!" He spoke of bypassing Congress as a temptation to which he wouldn't yield. But he has, and it is clear that he regards America's system of checks and balances as an odious obstacle to his conception of good government. More Hispanics tell Census Bureau they're 'white'. Over the past 10 years, a growing number of Hispanics have changed their race and origin to "white," according to top Census officials. While whites, blacks and Asians generally kept their status between the 2000 and 2010 U.S. Census review of the population, Hispanics, especially among younger immigrants, were quicker to change. 'The border fence is a joke'. A flamethrowing American conservative activist raised eyebrows in the U.S. on Monday [8/11/2014] by releasing a video of himself crossing the Rio Grande River from Mexico into Texas, dressed as the late al-Qaeda terror mastermind Osama bin Laden. Guerrilla documentarian James O'Keefe's footage comes at a time when Americans are engaged in a national debate about border security. Hidden Cameras Capture Smugglers Crossing Border 'No-Man's Land'. A cattle-ranching couple in southern Arizona hopes that dramatic hidden-camera video showing suspected drug or immigrant smugglers crossing their property will help persuade federal officials to shift resources southward to eliminate what they call a dangerous "no-man's land" along the border. Ingraham: If It Wasn't For Breitbart, We Wouldn't Know Anything About Immigration. On her Monday [8/11/2014] radio program, talk radio host Laura Ingraham discussed a piece from Breitbart California that showed immigration is a low priority for Latino voters. Ingraham argued that it disproved "the Republicans [who are] following along with these high-paid consultants about 'well, if you don't do amnesty, the Latinos will never vote for you.'" Thoughts On Obama's Upcoming Amnesty. Part of Obama's thinking is that by doing something impeachable, he can gin up talk of impeachment, and thus motivate the Tyler Perry voters, and white liberals whose levels of intellectual sophistication on the politics of race are similar, to show up in November 2014 to save that nice young Mr. Obama from Bull Connor. Remittances Fuel Illegal Immigration. Never forget that illegal immigration is all about the money — not freedom or opportunity — just money. When illegals whine that they want a "better life" what they really mean is "more money" which can also take the form of "vanloads" of food stamps, free-to-them deluxe healthcare and subsidized college tuition for the young illegals. In fact, invasive foreigners get so many taxpayer-funded freebies that they have enough spare money to send home to the family as remittances. A 2012 article in the Economist called the worldwide flows of remittances a "River of Gold." Pew Research reported in February that $123,273,000,000 in remittances were sent from the United States in 2012. That's a stunning amount of money not being spent in the United States and not stimulating the American economy. Think about that fact if you are ever tempted to hire a gardener who doesn't speak English. The Political Risks of an Obama Executive Action on Immigration. With hopes fading of passing an immigration reform bill, President Obama is reportedly contemplating bypassing Congress and making sweeping changes to immigration policy before the midterm elections. Many analysts think the executive action under consideration and its political fallout could, as Ronald Brownstein put it in The National Journal, "define both the Democratic and Republican parties for the burgeoning Hispanic population." But what isn't clear is why Mr. Obama would engage in such a move before the election. GOP Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen: Paul Ryan Works 'Every Day' Toward Amnesty Bill. One of the 11 House Republicans La Raza praised for not voting to end President Barack Obama's temporary amnesty program for illegal immigrants revealed that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has been working "every day" behind the scenes on an amnesty bill. Immigration: The Ultimate Get-out-the-vote Drive. The GOP derives 90 percent of its votes from approximately 63 percent of the population: whites. In contrast, there is no major nonwhite group (note that I'm including Hispanics in this even though most are anthropologically classified as Caucasian) that doesn't break Democrat by wide margins. Blacks cast approximately 94 percent of their votes for Democrats, while Hispanics and Asians come in at about 75 percent. So if you're a Machiavellian leftist who values power above all else, what do you do? You increase the nonwhite segment of the population while decreasing the white segment percentagewise — as much and as fast as possible. Border Horror. The brutal slaying of a U.S. Border Patrol agent by illegal aliens highlights the perils of the Obama administration's de facto open borders policy that has transformed the nation's southern boundary into a taxpayer-funded welcome center for desperately poor unskilled and low-skill workers, sick children, welfare mooches, and violent criminal gang members. This horrific crime happened not too far from the same border that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) sedately insisted was "secure." It's Time for a GOP Establishment Mea Culpa on Immigration. Immediately following Mitt Romney's defeat in 2012, the entire GOP consultant class fabricated a narrative that the biggest contributing factor to the loss was Romney's utterance of the word "self-deport" in one of the endless obscure debates during the Republican primaries. Tantamount to the global warming debate in Congress, this issue in electoral politics became what every Republican consultant warned potential candidates about. They argued that if they declined to immediately embrace Obama's comprehensive open borders policies, Republicans would be doomed forever. Our Political Elites' Deadly Lack of Interest in a Secure Border. The lack of a secure border is an entirely theoretical problem for most of our political class. Lawmakers rarely if ever encounter illegal immigrants, much less dangerous ones, on Capitol Hill, or at their high-dollar fundraisers. Illegal immigrants don't climb over the fence of Camp David or the White House. The President isn't likely to run into many illegal immigrants in his upcoming two-week vacation at Martha's Vineyard. This administration likes to brag about the number of deportations going up, but as the example of these men show, a deportation doesn't mean much if, after they arrive in their home country, they can just turn around and cross the border into the United States. We need a border that is difficult to breach; otherwise our deportation policy amounts to a revolving door. Amnesty's Worst Enemy. [Alabama senator Jeff] Sessions, 67, is a low-profile guy. Though he is not well known nationally, he has for years now been the instrumental force in quashing repeated attempts to pass comprehensive immigration reform. He has a gentle, almost grandfatherly quality, but he doesn't shy away from combat. He derided the 2007 bill as "no illegal alien left behind"; in a single press conference, he blasted it as a "colossal error," an "absolute scandal," and a "fiscal disaster." He declared: "Good fences make good neighbors." Jeff Sessions: New Media Leading Way to Defeat Establishment's Amnesty. [Scroll down] The mainstream media hasn't aggressively reported on immigration at all, Sessions said, and it's been through talk radio like Mark Levin and Laura Ingraham and online outlets like Breitbart News and the Drudge Report that most of the news of the failures of the Washington establishment's immigration positions became known to the public. While Border Agents' Morale Is At An 'All Time Low,' DHS Spends $450K For Luxurious DC Gym Memberships. In an interview with Fox News, border agent Chris Cabrera said that the lawlessness and influx of illegal immigrants has left border agents wiped out and demoralized. As National Review Online reports, Cabrera says he's never seen it this bad among the border force. IRS Abolishes Mandatory Expiration Dates For Illegal Immigrants' Taxpayer Status. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) quietly changed regulations to allow more undocumented immigrants to keep their taxpayer status through a program that is rife with fraud and abuse, and to delay deactivation of immigrant taxpayer status until 2016. The IRS now prevents peoples' Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) from automatically expiring after five years as previously mandated. Now immigrants can keep their ITIN so long as they pay taxes at least once in a five-year period. A Governor's Dilemma: Illegal Immigrants Divert Resources From State's Own Citizens. On June 13, the first bus of illegal immigrant minors, aged 12-17, arrived at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The state of Oklahoma was given no formal notice, and no chance to object. After weeks of bad publicity, public outrage and political pressure, the Obama administration announced this week that the facility will close by Friday, Aug. 8. That's good news for the people of Oklahoma and the men and women of Fort Sill, who will once again have the full use of their military base for the purpose it was designed for: housing and training soldiers. The Editor says... Washington Post: Obama Doesn't Have 'License to Tear up the Constitution'. The Washington Post editorial board says President Obama "should think twice" about deferring deportation for millions more illegal immigrants, as he reportedly may do later this summer. Newt Gingrich: Obama's upcoming executive order on amnesty will start a civil war in his own party. If O legalizes five million workers, plenty of blue-collar Democrats are bound to put two and two together and wonder what that means for their wages. And plenty of Democratic Senate incumbents in red states, like, oh, let's say Mark Pryor, are going to panic, knowing what could happen if the backlash among conservatives is as ferocious as everyone expects. Anatomy of a Power Grab. Since my Sunday column was a little on the shrill side, accusing President Obama of contemplating domestic policy "caesarism" on immigration policy, I thought I'd do a follow-up addressing the various, "maybe you should calm down" objections. 1) How can you accuse the president of planning a power grab when we don't even know what he's planning to do? Well, actually, we do know roughly what he's considering, because White House sources keep telling the media about it. [...] So pace Matt Yglesias, I'm not "preemptively slam[ming] the illegality" of an "as-yet-unknown measure." I'm passing judgment on a known-but-not-implemented measure, which the White House keeps running up the flagpole to see who objects and who salutes. Michele Bachmann: Tax illegals '100 percent' on money they send abroad. Rep. Michele Bachmann has suggested the federal government levy a 100 percent tax on money illegal immigrants send back to their home countries as a way of remedying the border crisis. In addition to building a secure, well-lit, fully staffed border fence, the Minnesota Republican said there should be "a 100 percent tax on remittances, the money that illegal aliens send back to these countries." What This Agent Said To A Man Crossing the Border Sums Up What Our Immigration Crisis Has Become. While no one wants to perpetuate the humanitarian crisis happening on our border, as the trucker in this video shows, the immigration system in America has gone beyond the point of broken. And as hard as it is to accept for pro-illegal immigration advocates, a chaotic, completely unregulated immigration system hurts illegal immigrants as well as American citizens. [Video clip] Our border invasion has [a] solution — in [the] Constitution. First of all, no nation does more for the poor and destitute of this earth than the United States. We are first to respond to any disaster, emergency, war or other crisis. Our expenditures on behalf of the downtrodden are massive compared to what anyone else does. Second, no matter how much we do on behalf of the poor people of the world, we cannot ever conquer poverty. We can't do it by foreign aid, and we certainly can't do it by opening our borders and accepting anyone into our country that wishes to be here. That is a formula for wider poverty, as our own country devolves into Third World status, not a prescription for a brighter future. According to the book "Portfolios of the Poor," nearly half of the world's population lives on $2 a day. Do you really think the United States can somehow alleviate poverty among those 3 billion people? It is ridiculous to suggest such a thing. HHS: Teen Males [have been the] Majority of Illegal Aliens For Years. According to an HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) fact sheet, "Most [illegal aliens] are over 14 and approximately three quarters of them are boys." In addition, there has been a steady upward trend in the number of UAC's entering the country since at least 2012. The number "jumped dramatically" in fiscal year 2012, almost doubling to a total of 13,625 served by ORR. Right Now there is Nothing We Can do about Obama. The great fear among conservatives, stoked by the actual statements of the Obama White House and one of its chief sycophants, Congress Luis Gutierrez of Illinois, is that the president will step far beyond the constitutional limits of his power and grant amnesty through executive fiat to as many as six million illegal aliens. This would be political suicide for Obama. It would be an act of brazen stupidity and it would likely not only destroy any chance his party has to retain control of the Senate but could potentially fracture his own coalition for future elections. Illegal Alien Crime Victims Invite Boehner, His Family To Border, Plead for Enforcement. Several family members of victims of horrific crimes committed by illegal aliens have invited House Speaker John Boehner to visit the U.S. Border with Mexico with them in a fiery letter provided exclusively to Breitbart News. "As you leave Washington, D.C. to vacation with your families, our families invite you and your entire family to spend the weekend in McAllen, Texas," the victims' family members wrote to Boehner and other lawmakers Wednesday [7/30/2014]. Obama readies executive action on immigration. President Obama is preparing to announce new measures that would potentially allow millions of illegal immigrants to remain in the United States without fear of deportation, a politically explosive decision that could jolt Washington just weeks before the midterm elections, according to people who have been in touch with the White House. Administration officials have told allies in private meetings that both the current surge of Central American children crossing the border and Congress's failure this year to pass a broader immigration overhaul have propelled the president toward taking action on his own by summer's end. Bachmann: 'We Saw Border Processing, Not Border Security'. Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), recently returned from a trip to the Southwest border, says no one is being turned away: "We saw border processing, not border security," Bachmann said in a news release describing her trip to Brownsville, McAllen and Laredo. "While the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Agency performs admirably on a daily basis, their purpose has become people processing — not stopping foreign nationals from unauthorized entry into the U.S. House Republicans draft new border bill after vote collapse, Senate unlikely to act. The president now is vowing to act unilaterally to address the illegal immigration issue. The House legislation was approved on a 223-189 vote. The new version of the bill adds additional funding for the National Guard and includes policy changes meant to speed deportations of illegal immigrant children surging across the southern border. Key Democrat: 'Immigration Reform Is Not About Enforcement'. Democratic Rep. Gary Peters (D-MI), the Democrat U.S. Senate nominee in Michigan, told attendees of a town hall event in Detroit's Mexicantown neighborhood that immigration reform was not about enforcing America's laws. "Immigration reform is not about enforcement," Peters said in a short video clip obtained by Breitbart News. "It's about finding a way to fix the problems in our immigration system." The event was held April 6, 2013, and was hosted by local pro-amnesty organization One Michigan — before the Senate passed the "Gang of Eight" immigration bill. The organization pushed for that bill and frequently advocates on its Facebook page on behalf of illegal aliens. Conservatives Kill Amnesty Bill. A conservative-led uprising among House Republicans scuttled Speaker John Boehner's worse-than-useless border crisis and immigration legislation yesterday but party leaders vowed to try again today to pass the emergency funding bill. "The bill as it was had more loopholes than a knitted afghan," Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said in a statement released exclusively to FrontPage late yesterday [7/31/2014]. Jeff Sessions Takes Down GOP Border Bill by Lobbying House. House Republican leaders are frustrated that they had to pull their $659 million border bill on Thursday [7/31/2014], after Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) convinced enough Republicans to stand up for American workers and vote against a bill that did not explicitly prevent President Barack Obama from unilaterally granting work permits to millions of illegal immigrants. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), who will become the new House Majority Whip on Friday, saw this vote as his first test. Paul Ryan: Obama's Exec Amnesty Not 'High Crimes'. At a Christian Science Monitor breakfast Wednesday [7/30/2014], Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) said President Barack Obama's lawless executive actions are not high crimes and misdemeanors worthy of impeachment. "I see this as sort of a ridiculous gambit by the president and his political team to try and change the narrative, raise money, and turn out their base for an upcoming election that they feel is not going to go their way," Ryan said, according to the Wall Street Journal. "[Obama's executive actions do] not rise to the high crime and misdemeanor level." House readies bill to stop Obama's immigration order — in advance. On what could be the last lawmaking session before the summer recess, both House and Senate are preparing bills to one-up each other on immigration. First, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that if the House passes a border crisis bill, he and Senate Democrats might attach the Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform bill to it — a move that would clearly doom the whole border emergency spending effort. Now, House Republican leaders have written a bill that would stop President Obama from using executive power to legalize millions of currently illegal immigrants — something Obama is widely thought to be getting ready to do. Border Crisis Poll: Public Turns Against Obama, Democrats & Media. Not only is public approval souring towards Obama's handling of the issue, the idea of a path to citizenship for illegals, and the policy of offering asylum for this wave of Central American children; a plurality now see the Republican Party as better able to handle the issue of immigration. When asked about the President's handling of the immigration issue, only 31% said they approve, while a whopping 68% disapprove. Sen. Blumenthal: Obama 'Can Give People Who Are Undocumented Here the Ability to Stay'. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said Tuesday that although President Barack Obama "can't make new laws himself" under the U.S. Constitution's separation of powers, the president "can give people who are undocumented here the ability to stay." "Article One of the Constitution says that 'Congress shall have power... to establish [a] uniform Rule of Naturalization.' Given that, does President Obama have any unilateral power to legalize illegal aliens?" CNSNews asked Blumenthal. "The President's powers are limited to what the statute permits him to do," he replied. Illegal Immigration Is Now Obama's Worst Issue. When you encourage and allow chaos on the border, Americans find you in disfavor. Obama has the unique ability to irritate everyone. The middle and right are leery of everything that he does, because he keeps proving that he is untrustworthy. His leftwing open borders supporters are unhappy that he hasn't broken the law even more. If Obama Tries to Grant Legal Status to Illegal Immigrants, the States Should Say 'I'll See You In Court'. It has been reported that President Barack Obama is planning to unilaterally attempt to grant legal status to illegal immigrants. There is no legal authority for him to do so. It has been reported that it may not be possible to stop Obama's action with a lawsuit because nobody would have standing to bring the lawsuit. [...] However, there are a bunch of entities that would have standing to sue the federal government if Obama unilaterally grants legal status to illegal immigrants — the States. The Government Will Pay for Your Flight to Hawaii! The Catch: Only Illegal Immigrants May Apply. Our government is so desperate to help illegal aliens settle in America that it's footing the bill for a few to fly to beautiful Hawaii! No citizens allowed. The Business End of Illegal Immigration — The Curious Case of Clint Texas. A few days ago we noticed an article in a Texas newspaper highlighting a proposal to build a transitional housing facility for 3,500 illegal aliens. The proposed facility name was noted in the media as "Abraham Lincoln Transitional Lodge". Illegal aliens in the shadows? What shadows? Congress is grappling with an emergency funding bill to address the surge of aliens swarming the border. A bill by House Republicans would provide less than $1 billion in stopgap spending through the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30, far less than $3.7 billion requested by the president. A Congressional Budget Office analysis of Mr. Obama's spending request found that only $25 million of it would actually be spent by the end of the fiscal year, so Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, sensibly observes that there's no need to rush the bill. Shakedown: Sessions: 'We Cannot Allow Executive Orders to... Eradicate Plain Law'. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) took to the Senate floor Wednesday [7/30/2014] to blast the president's reported plan to use his executive authority to provide amnesty to illegal immigrants by scaling back deportations and granting them work permits, saying Congress must not allow the president use executive actions that eradicate "plain law." "This Congress needs to speak. We cannot allow executive orders to be issued by a president that eradicates plain law. To do so is wrong. The American people are watching this. They are not going to be happy that this Congress didn't take action, and expressions of concerns among senators really are not enough," said Sessions. Indiana's Illegal Alien Surprise. Barack Obama's manufactured border crisis is one of the clearest expressions of contempt for the will of the people by an American ruler since the days when we promised ourselves we'd never have rulers. The whole immigration "debate" has always been conducted in such an air of contempt. It's hard to find anyone on the amnesty side who is willing to speak honestly to the American people. They lie to us and patronize us by reflex. Even conservative pundits have been known to misrepresent the proportion of teddy-bear-clutching eight-year olds in the current migratory wave. And this isn't new, because today's amnesty push follows waves of illegal immigration that rolled in over the years since the last amnesty deal... which was supposed to be the last time such a measure would ever be necessary, because it included strong border security commitments. Want A Real Anti-Poverty Plan? Stop Amnesty! While cynical politicians prattle on about protecting the American Dream, they're working together to destroy it. If these elected officials care so much about reducing poverty, why are they working so hard to import more of it from around the world? Leaders in both political parties have thrown struggling Americans under the bus to feed the cheap illegal alien labor machine. The working poor are the biggest losers in D.C.'s amnesty game. Democrats Warn Obama Over Executive Overreach on Immigration. Democrat Senators Kay Hagan of North Carolina and Mark Pryor of Arkansas have both now warned Barack Obama against taking "any steps without the approval of Congress" when it comes to dealing with the current illegal immigration crisis. "I'm not for government by executive order. He needs to have statutory authority before he acts," said Pryor. Meanwhile, via Politico, a spokeswoman for Hagan said, "this is a problem that needs to be solved legislatively and not through executive action." The Conservative Case Against Boehner's Border Bill. Capitol Hill conservatives are not happy with Speaker John Boehner's (R-OH) $659 million response to the unfolding humanitarian crisis at the Texas-Mexico border. They are circulating a series of memos, including the one [shown in this article], detailing why the Boehner bill will fail to solve the problem. 80% of U.S. population growth is from immigrants, resources being depleted. A group dedicated to saving the planet by cutting runaway population increases is raising a new and shocking issue in Washington's bitter fight over immigration reform: Most of the nation's population growth is from immigrants, and they are consuming resources dangerously fast. Immigrant Mothers Released From Holding Centers, but With Ankle Monitors. Both the government and advocates for immigrants generally agree that the monitors save money, are a humane alternative to custody and in some cases are necessary to compel an immigrant to appear in court. But advocates and federal officials differ on how often the tracking monitors should be used. Officials say they are necessary because it is often difficult to determine whether a person is a flight risk or has a criminal history in their native country. Advocates say they stigmatize many immigrants fleeing violence, most of whom have a strong incentive to appear at immigration proceedings because they are seeking asylum. Hoyer: Obama 'Can't Legalize' Illegals — But He Can Decide How to 'Implement the Laws'. House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said that President Obama "can't legalize" the illegal aliens in the United States, but then added that the president "can implement the laws as he believes they should be implemented." "Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution states that Congress has the power to make laws governing naturalization. Given this, does President Obama have the unilateral power to legalize illegal aliens?" CNSNews.com asked Hoyer. "I don't think he does," Hoyer responded, "and I don't think that's what he's going to do. You're right. He can't legalize them." GOP Leaders Revive Democrats' Amnesty Hopes. Democratic leaders are welcoming efforts by the House GOP leadership to amend a minor 2008 immigration bill, because it could revive the now-dormant, business-backed comprehensive immigration reform push. The House's proposed change to the 2008 bill is "an opening for us to have a conference on our comprehensive immigration reform," said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. GOP leaders announced Tuesday [7/29/2014] they're scheduling a Thursday vote on changes to the existing 2008 immigration law. Poll: 68% Disapprove of Obama on Illegal Immigration; Plurality Oppose Border Bill. Nearly 70% of Americans disapprove of President Barack Obama's handling of illegal immigration, and a plurality oppose any emergency funding to address the border crisis, according to a new national poll. The Associated Press-GfK poll found that 68% disapprove of Obama on illegal immigration while only 31% approve. Texas Sheriffs Speak Out On Damage From Illegal Immigration. The influx of illegal immigrants into southern Texas is depleting law enforcement resources and causing heavy amounts of damage in the area, said several sheriffs gathered for the annual Sheriff's Association of Texas convention. "The damage is constant," Brooks County chief deputy Benny Martinez told News 4 San Antonio at the conference, held in San Antonio on Monday and Tuesday [7/28-29/2014]. Martinez estimated that 85 percent of cases he handles are related to immigration issues and that his rural county is not equipped to handle the workload. Obama Said to Plan Giving Millions U.S. Work Permits. President Barack Obama is considering using executive action to let millions of undocumented immigrants obtain work permits that would allow them stay in the U.S. legally, said a Democratic Senate aide. White House officials have told allies in Congress to expect an announcement of a large-scale action most likely in September, just before the midterm congressional elections, the aide said, asking for anonymity to discuss an unannounced plan. Ryan: 'Only Focus Should be' Securing the Border. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) said there should be "no dealing with the Senate on anything beyond securing the border" in an interview on Monday's "Sean Hannity Show." Ryan also advocated for amending the 2008 anti-human trafficking law that illegal immigrants use to avoid deportation, and expressed support for sending the National Guard to the border. Out of Order. Barack Obama's disdain for the slow, grinding mechanisms of government has become unmistakable of late. So it is little surprise that, frustrated by congressional inaction on his proposal for "comprehensive immigration reform," the president last month declared that he would "fix as much of our immigration system as I can on my own." The result, intimated by White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer last week, is a "very significant" executive action to be unveiled by the end of the summer. Obama: A Country Without Rule of Law 'Will Not Succeed'. During a town hall meeting at a summit with the Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders, President Obama explained to a young African student that to succeed, a burgeoning country required a system of laws. [...] Obama made his remarks as critics have denounced his "lawlessness," particularly through his 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) order, his decision to trade five Taliban detainees at Guantanamo Bay for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, and his controversial Obamacare law. [...] According to the Los Angeles Times, Obama is planning to give some form of amnesty to as many as 5 million of the estimated 11 million people who entered the country illegally. John Fund: An Obama Executive Amnesty Would Be 'Ritual Political Suicide'. John Fund, national affairs correspondent for National Review Online, told Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon that if President Obama attempts via executive order to grant amnesty to eight million illegal aliens "it would be the equivalent of ritual political suicide and most political parties don't do that." Legalization by Edict. Many people in Washington seem to be talking about the prospect of the president unilaterally legalizing the status of several million people who entered the country illegally as though it were just another political question. But if reports about the nature of the executive action he is contemplating are right, it would be by far the most blatant and explosive provocation in the administration's assault on the separation of powers, and could well be the most extreme act of executive overreach ever attempted by an American president in peacetime. Texas Congressman Thinks Rick Perry Could Create A 'Police State' At Border. The ongoing war-of-words between Congressman Joaqu'n Castro (D-Texas) and Republican Gov. Rick Perry escalated on Monday when Castro fired off a letter warning Perry against creating a "police state" along the border. In July, Perry announced he was sending 1,000 National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexican border to help combat the flow of trafficking amid a surge of unaccompanied minors from Central America. Perry said the troops are needed because of federal inaction, but Castro expressed significant concerns about their presence. Border surge puts Obama legacy on immigration at stake. After two years of playing offense, immigrant rights groups suddenly and unexpectedly find themselves playing political defense, pushing back against proposals to speed up deportations of people surging across the border illegally even while advocates plead with the White House to take politically risky executive action to halt deportations in the interior. The advocates say they have "an audience of one" — President Obama, who for his career in Washington, stretching back to his days as a senator, has tantalized them with promises of action and even delivered some victories, but at times has seemed a reluctant partner. Sessions to Obama: The American People Will Not Be Mocked by Your Unlawful Amnesty. Monday [7/28/2014], Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) took to the floor of the U.S. Senate to criticize President Barack Obama's attempt to "unilaterally implement large portions of his congressionally rejected amnesty bill by executive action." An Immigration Trio. Jeff Sessions is mounting a heroic campaign to persuade Congress to block President Obama's apparently imminent decree legalizing, in essence, five to six million illegal immigrants by granting them work permits. The Obama administration has been lawless in many ways, but this is stark illegality even by its standards. Feds quietly dump hundreds of illegal immigrants in Tennessee. The Obama administration recently released 760 illegal immigrant children to sponsors in the Volunteer State without any warning, the governor charged. [...] [Tennessee Governor Bill] Haslam, a Republican, said he still has not been contacted by the Obama administration — and has no idea where the illegals were resettled. "I still have not been contacted and have no information about these individuals or their sponsors other than what was posted on the HHS website," he wrote. Key GOP Rep: the Fix Is in, Boehner Quiet on Obama Amnesty Threat for Campaign Ca$h. With President Obama vowing to ignore Congress and move on his own on immigration, potentially providing unilateral amnesty to as many as six million illegal aliens, criticism is mounting from the right over Speaker John Boehner's failure to engage more directly on Obama's threat. Now Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL), an ardent anti-amnesty voice in the House of Representatives, is accusing the speaker of his own party of throwing the game in exchange for campaign funds from the pro-amnesty business lobby. Feds Force Rural Texas County to Pay Thousands to Hold Illegals. Bell County, Texas, has spent almost $200,000 so far this year on detainers, or "immigration holds," for illegal immigrants. Detainer requests from federal immigration officials require local law enforcement to hold illegal immigrants, detained for local charges, past the length of their jail times. Typically, the holding time is 48 hours. During this time, federal agents decide whether or not to deport the individuals. Collect More Than $7,000 Per Month for 'Fostering' Adult Illegal Aliens. The Texas-based nonprofit Catholic Charities is currently seeking out foster families for the migrants, most of whom come from Central America. Ruth Braiser, a spokeswoman for the organization, told Breitbart Texas that foster families can receive monthly payments for housing adult immigrants who are under 23-years-old. Illegals demand representation in White House meetings. Illegal immigrants picketed the White House Monday afternoon, calling on fellow immigrant-rights advocacy groups to refuse to meet with the Obama administration until President Obama specifically includes illegal immigrants in any future meetings. "We are among the millions of people who will either benefit or be harmed by the decisions the President makes, and we are here to represent ourselves in any future negotiations," said Rosi Carrasco, one of organizers, in a statement announcing the action. Fearing Obama Unilateral Amnesty Threats, Tea Party Jams Congress's Phone Lines. The phone lines are jammed. The American people have risen up in response to a rallying cry from Sens. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) and Ted Cruz (R-TX), overloading the phone lines on Capitol Hill to pressure their members of Congress to fight against President Obama's planned executive amnesty for millions of illegal aliens. "I was on hold with the Capitol Hill switchboard about a minute or so each time I called my Representative and my two Senators," Catharine Trauernicht, a Tea Party activist in Virginia, told Breitbart News Monday [7/28/2014]. Illegal immigrants protest outside White House, with little fear of repercussions. Illegal immigrant demonstrators were protesting outside the White House on Monday [7/28/2014] — but don't expect America's immigration officers to intervene. An Immigration and Customs Enforcement official indicated that even if the protesters end up getting arrested by D.C. police, they'd have to be serious criminals for ICE to get involved. "Unless the individuals meet ICE's enforcement priorities, it's unlikely that the agency would get involved in the case," the official told FoxNews.com. The Editor says... Another California City Says 'No' to Housing Illegal Immigrants. A proposal to convert a vacant retirement home and create a 96-bed shelter for the illegal border crossers was opposed by many of the neighborhood residents, according to Reuters. Escondido now falls in lock step with Murrieta, California, about 30 miles north of Escondido, where protesters forced busses to make a U-turn and reroute back to the San Ysidro, California Border Patrol station, near the U.S.-Mexico border. In Queens, Immigrants Clash With Residents of New Homeless Shelter. The crowd of 500 included grandmothers and small children, Chinese immigrants and the president of a local Republican club, all shouting that the mayor had trampled their rights. The source of their anger? The 180 homeless families that New York City had moved into the defunct Pan American Hotel in Elmhurst, Queens. The residents felt nervous around the new arrivals, they said. There were reports of shoplifting from the Good Fortune Supermarket, public urination and panhandling — all things, they said, that had been unheard-of in their neighborhood until now. Obama's immigration flip flop. President Barack Obama insisted for years that he had absolutely no legal authority — none whatsoever, zero, zilch — to slow deportations on a broad scale. Forget everything he's said. Obama's pledge to use his executive powers by the end of the summer marked both a dramatic reversal in rhetoric and a major strategic shift on immigration. The president is no longer emphasizing his own powerlessness but rather his determination "to fix as much of our immigration system as I can on my own, without Congress." National Guard in Texas Could Get Arrest Power. When Gov. Rick Perry of Texas announced plans to deploy 1,000 National Guard troops to help with the border crisis, it came with a power unexpected by some. By deploying them himself rather than through Washington, he has the power to order the troops to make arrests and apprehensions, something Guard troops in past border deployments have been prohibited from doing. Immigrant rights advocates and others, including former federal officials involved in previous National Guard mobilizations, said the troops would lack both training and federal oversight, creating a risk of civil rights violations and deadly encounters with immigrants. Rep. Steve King Predicts Impeachment if Obama Grants Executive Amnesty. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus has given Obama a six-page wish list of executive actions, and Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) said Obama may give temporary amnesty and work permits to five million more illegal immigrants by expanding the Deferred Amnesty for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program to the parents of illegal immigrants. King called that program lawless and unconstitutional. The Congressional Hispanic Caucus has even recommended that Obama give amnesty, by executive fiat, to every illegal immigrant who would have received it under the Senate's comprehensive amnesty bill. In other words, amnesty for nearly all of the illegal immigrants in the country who are not hardened criminals. US Becoming The Brazil of North America — When Did We Vote For That? To assert that we cannot take all these people in, that we must send them back and seal our border for our survival, is to be called a variety of names — racist, xenophobe, nativist — all of which translate into "illiberal." But as we continue our descent to Third World status, perhaps we should explore more deeply the "diversity" that has of late come to be regarded as America's most treasured attribute. In 1960, we were not nearly so diverse. Nine in 10 Americans professed a Christian faith. Nine in 10 Americans traced their ancestry back to Europe. E Pluribus Unum. We were one nation and one people. Since then, we have become the Brazil of North America, a multiracial, multilingual, multiethnic, multicultural "universal nation" unlike any that has existed in the history of the West. HUD Will Force Illegal Immigrants on Neighborhoods. The majority of people who fear deportation are illegal, unskilled, poor, welfare recipients and they are coming into this country in the hundreds of thousands each month. The housing rule passed July, 2013 ties government zoning rules to HUD grants and it opens communities up to lawsuits if they refuse their quota. Every town and city that accepts federal block grants through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will necessarily abide by the rule change to the Fair Housing Act of 1968 passed in 2013. At the border, whose side is the president really on? As you might expect, President Obama wants to have it both ways. He says he supports helping those Americans who are working to stem the tide of illegal immigration and are defending our borders while also declaring that we must show compassion for those who have appeared at our borders from other countries. However, some of what the president has said and done — and, in some cases, has not done — raises the question of whose side the president is really on. Even in liberal Mass., plan to house illegals riles voters. Massachusetts' candidates for governor will find out soon what Democrat Steve Grossman learned firsthand yesterday [7/23/2014] — voters even in liberal Massachusetts are angry. [...] In one of the most comically contorted poll stories ever, the Boston Globe reported that much to its shock and dismay, Massachusetts voters are not all on board with President Obama and Patrick. The Globe poll showed voters are split on the plan to put 1,000 illegal immigrant children on a local military base — even after the pollster helpfully told the respondents the feds were picking up the tab and the kids would be here for only a few months. We Sent Back Elian. When you think about it, most Americans are unaware of the difference between a presidential wish list and the law of the land. If a large share of Americans don't get the process here, how can we expect Central Americans to know? In the case of the juvenile immigrants, Obama knows his words and executive actions are tearing apart non-Hispanics in communities in the Southwest and areas to which the illegal immigrant children are being shipped. He is dividing the entire country with blather while serious concerns are debated, such as diseases, absorption and social cost related to the young asylum seekers. Not to mention the mounting crises overseas. This is a problem that is owned by Barack Obama. La Raza CEO: 'USA! USA!' Chants 'Made Me Angry'. La Raza President and CEO Janet Murguia said it sickened her to hear Americans against illegal immigration chanting "USA! USA!" at protests around the country. Singling out the Murrieta demonstrators during her keynote address at La Raza's annual conference in Los Angeles on Monday, Murguia accused them of having "cloaked their hatred in patriotism" by shouting "'USA! USA!' again and again." "It made me angry," she said. "In fact, I was outraged." Bordering on Madness. The real issue when it comes to immigration is not simply what particular immigration policy America should have, but whether America can have any immigration policy at all. A country that does not control its own borders does not have any immigration policy. There may be laws on the books, but such laws are just meaningless words if people from other countries can cross the borders whenever they choose. One of the reasons why many Americans are reluctant to keep out illegal immigrants — or even to call them "illegal immigrants," instead of using the mealy-mouthed word "undocumented" — is that most Hispanics they encounter seem to be decent, hard-working people. The Editor says... Reports from the "Immigration Surge" Protests. Reports are beginning to surface from the 300-plus citizen-organized protests on July 18-19 focused on deep concerns about the immigration surge of supposed "refugees" swamping our border control resources, under the banner of the "National Days of Protest against Immigration Reform Amnesty & the Illegal Immigration Surge". Illegal Immigration Is Not the Only Problem. For all the belated talk of illegal immigration turning America into a "third world nation," legal immigration has its harmful consequences as well. Imagine that your boss told you that an H1-B visa holder from Country X was going to take your job, and that you have to train your own replacement. This is exactly what is happening to some American IT workers, whose tragic and infuriating story was told by Patrick Thibodeau of Computerworld. Sessions To Congress: Back Ted Cruz Or Remain 'Complicit' In 'Nullification Of Border'. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee and a key immigration hawk, took to the Senate floor on Monday afternoon [7/21/2014] to attack the efforts by President Barack Obama to grant amnesty via executive order to millions of illegal aliens. During his floor speech, Sessions endorsed a bill from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) that aims to curb the president's executive amnesty efforts — and called on his colleagues to cosponsor it. Luis Gutierrez To La Raza: Get Amnesty To 'Punish' Americans Against Illegal Immigration. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) believes Hispanics should get amnesty and citizenship to punish Americans who are against illegal immigration. After he told the La Raza conference in Los Angeles that President Barack Obama gave the Latino community a "down payment" with his temporary amnesty program that halted the deportations "of our people," Gutierrez urged Hispanics to seek retribution at the ballot box. Luis Gutierrez to La Raza: Obama Assured Steps to 'Stop the Deportation of Our People'. On Saturday [7/19/2014], Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) said President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was a "down payment" to the Hispanic community before more grants of amnesty for illegal immigrants. Speaking at the National Council of La Raza conference in Los Angeles, Gutierrez said that Obama assured him during a White House meeting with Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus last week that he would be as "generous and broad" as he can to "stop the deportation of our people each and every day." The Editor says... Illegal Immigration a Winning Issue for Republicans. If Republicans unite around the position that all or substantially all of the most recent wave of illegal entrants should be sent back to their home countries as soon as possible, it will give them a big boost as the election season begins to heat up. Luis Gutierrez to La Raza: Obama Assured Steps to 'Stop the Deportation of Our People'. On Saturday [7/19/2014], Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) said President Barack Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program was a "down payment" to the Hispanic community before more grants of amnesty for illegal immigrants. Speaking at the National Council of La Raza conference in Los Angeles, Gutierrez said that Obama assured him during a White House meeting with Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus last week that he would be as "generous and broad" as he can to "stop the deportation of our people each and every day." Budget To Transport Illegals Across USA Approaches $100M. The U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee approved a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 that includes $5.508 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. Included in that amount is more than $87 million for the transportation of illegal immigrants — most often via plane — from the U.S.-Mexico border to federal facilities around the nation. The True Size of the Adult Immigration Wave, Revealed. One of the reasons people have grown so angry over Obama's manufactured border crisis is that everything we are told is a lie. That's consistent with the core Amnesty Caucus belief that the benighted knuckle-dragging xenophobic citizens of the United States have nothing to say about immigration policy — it's a decision that will be made by the Ruling Class, in accordance with their political and economic interests. You taxpaying chumps will be told whatever the Ruling Class thinks you need to hear, whenever they think you need to hear it, with the truth either suppressed or kept on ice until it doesn't matter any more. Pine Belt residents join national illegal immigration protest. About one dozen Pine Belt residents carried signs and American flags and waved at vehicles from an overpass on Interstate-59 Saturday [7/19/2014] to protest illegal immigration. They were part of a National Day of Protest organized on social media by the "Make Them Listen" movement. Folks from Petal, Pearl River and Jones counties displayed signs such as "Secure the Border" and "No Amnesty" as they stood on the overpass at the Hattiesburg-Laurel Regional Airport exit. San Diegans Partake in Immigration Protests. San Diegans gathered Saturday morning [7/19/2014] to take part in a nationwide protest against immigration reform amid the border crisis. With American flags and opposition signs in hand, dozens of protesters united along the Interstate 8 overpass in La Mesa near Severin Drive to voice their opinions on illegal immigration. Palin: Obama's America An 'Unfunded Charity' For Illegals To Overrun. On Saturday [7/19/2014], former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin accused President Barack Obama of knowingly allowing turning American into an "unfunded charity" for illegal immigrants to invade and overrun. Referring to Obama as "the DREAMweaver," Palin said when Congress declined to pass amnesty legislation, Obama "waved his magic wand" and enacted his own. "And that created the current crisis as illegals are pouring in to collect what he illegally promised them," Palin said at the Western Conservative Summit in Colorado. "If Obama won't obey the law and secure the borders, it's not immigration, it's invasion." Congressman optimistic Obama will grant immigrants legal status. In a fiery speech at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Saturday [7/19/2014], U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) said he was confident after meeting with President Obama last week that the president will move forward in the coming months with an executive order that would grant legal status to millions of immigrants in the country illegally, possibly including the parents of American-born children. Paying Off Obama's Buddies: Another Way Illegal Aliens Are Wasting Your Tax Dollars. Obama is pumping billions of dollars into the feeding and care of hundreds of thousands of illegals who have swamped our southern border expecting — and getting — all sorts of freebies not to mention expecting to become instant citizens. But it isn't just the billions he is spending at the border going on in this mounting crisis. Obama is also [spending] billions on these illegals in other parts of the country. In Illinois, for instance, several left-wing groups, including the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) — all huge supporters of Obama — are getting hundreds of thousands of tax dollars to care for illegals shipped from Texas to the Windy City. Hundreds of protests set this weekend against illegal immigration, Obama's policies. Hundreds of protests are taking place across the United States this weekend in opposition to the surge of immigrants illegally crossing the country's southern border and proposed immigration reform that organizers say gives amnesty to those already living illegal in this country. Organizers say 321 protests will take place over the next two days — from state capitals to highway overpasses to Mexican consulates. The protests have been sparked by the thousands of Central American immigrants who in the past few months have entered the U.S. illegally in hopes of staying. Relieve Border Crisis By Taxing Remittances. 'People should not have to resort to mailing cash in an envelope or delivering money in person," argued Obama's consumer credit cop, Richard Cordray, in a recent speech to a Latino immigrant-rights group. So among other things, he's putting an end to "hidden fees" that he says banks charge immigrants to wire funds. "Consumers sending $200 from here to El Salvador might find they pay anywhere from $8 to $33," the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau chief whined. But if they're breaking U.S. immigration laws, why help them use America as an ATM, along with the corrupt Third World kleptocracies that send them here? Instead, the feds ought to tax such transfers and use the revenues to pay for the free services that we provide Salvadorans and other illegals. Better yet, use the money to beef up border security. Obama Said to Assure Hispanic Caucus on Deportations. President Obama reassured members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Wednesday [7/16/2014] that he will flex his executive muscle later this year to be "as great and big and bold as he can be" to reduce deportations of undocumented immigrant families who have lived and worked in the United States for years, one Democratic lawmaker said at the conclusion of the meeting. Homeland Secretary: Parents Give Immigrant Children Birth Control 'In Case They're Raped Along The Way'. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson warns that some parents of Central American children attempting to cross the U.S. border illegally already know of the risks, noting that some girls are given birth control "in case they're raped along the way." Speaking with the Senate Appropriations Committee last week, Johnson joined the Obama administration in attempting to warn Central American parents to stop sending their children on the dangerous route to entering the U.S. illegally. But Johnson said that he's met with children and heard stories that some parents are very aware of the risks along the route. Michigan residents rally to halt plans for immigrant depot. At least 50 people carting weapons, flags and posters expressing anger with the porous border took to Vassar, Mich., streets to rally against a plan to ship some of the illegal minor-aged immigrants to their community. Many in the crowd carried AR-15 rifles and handguns — the latest sign of the growing unrest around the nation that's marking the federal government's response to tens of thousands of illegals crossing into U.S. territories in recent months. Former Border Patrol Deputy Chief: 'All of the Good That Was Done after 9/11 Up to Now Has Been reversed Singlehandedly. Former national deputy chief of the U.S. Border Patrol Ronald Colburn tells National Review Online that the Obama administration has undone all of the progress made at America's southern border since 9/11. "We're back to a pre-9/11 situation basically, and this administration did that in the past five years," he says. "All of the good that was done after 9/11 up to now has been reversed singlehandedly." White House: Migrants' Privacy Trump Americans' Right To Know. The White House won't reveal where it is housing thousands of Central American juvenile migrants because their privacy rights trump Americans' right to know what's happening in their neighborhoods, press secretary Josh Earnest declared July 16. "The public does have a right to know what's happening... [but] at the same time, there are privacy rights that are included in the law that this administration is committed to enforcing and following," Earnest told Ed Henry, Fox News' White House correspondent. "We are not surprised in the least to see the Obama administration imitate the smugglers," William Gheen, founder of Americans for Legal Immigration PAC, told The Daily Caller. "This is how smuggling operations work, this is what the smuggler-in-chief wants — secret planes and secret buses full of illegal immigrants." Texas Pipeline Creates Illegal Immigrant Super-Highway. A natural gas pipeline being constructed in the western portions of Brooks County is rapidly becoming a super-highway for illegal immigrants struggling to sneak around the U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint located in the county. Workers report regularly seeing illegals making their way along the pathway of the pipeline. White House Concluded Border Crisis a PR Problem Which Should Not Hinder Further Executive Action. Despite evidence that the current border crisis is at least partly the result of its previous executive action on immigration, the White House decided it was merely a "public relations problem" and moved forward with plans to issue further executive actions along similar lines. GOP Lost at the Border. As tens of thousands of foreign nationals overwhelm the border and render our sovereign boundary meaningless, Republicans in DC are tinkering with legislative fixes they say will address the situation. As if the crisis at the border is the result of some drafting error or a failure to enact some specific law relevant to this precise set of circumstances. It is a fool's errand. Wolverine Report: Border Patrol Agents Threatened To Defy Orders and Stand Down If DHS Used Force On Murrieta Protesters. In an exclusive expose regarding the immigration standoff in Murrieta, California, it was revealed by a confidential informant inside the Murrieta U.S. Border Patrol facility that the real reason busses stopped delivering illegal immigrants was due to a virtual mutiny within the U.S. Border Patrol ranks. Key Amnesty Critic Warns: Border Bill Could Open Door To Dreaded Conference Committee. [A] key veteran of the immigration wars on Capitol Hill is warning that legislation to amend a 2008 law being cited for cumbersome, years-long deportations would theoretically open the door to a conference committee on the controversial amnesty bill. Proposals to strengthen the law, including one introduced by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Rep. Henry Cueller (D-TX), "opens up whatever bill this is in to a conference with the Senate Gang of Eight bill," said Rosemary Jenks, the legislative director for NumbersUSA, a group that opposes amnesty as well as increased legal immigration. Jose Antonio Vargas: The Face of the Entitled Illegal Alien. On Monday [7/14/2014], leading illegal-alien journalist turned activist Jose Antonio Vargas engaged in a foolish stunt that will backfire on him and his allies in the media and Hollywood and on Capitol Hill. An openly defiant law-breaker who proudly calls himself "the most privileged undocumented immigrant in the country," Vargas traveled to Texas with a film crew to commune with illegal aliens surging across the border. Md. police investigate 'No undocumented Democrats' graffiti as hate crime. Maryland state police are investigating as a hate crime graffiti that protested illegal immigration on the wall of a former Army Reserve Center that was mulled for use as a shelter for unaccompanied alien children. "No illeagles [sic] here. No undocumented Democrats," the graffiti said in capital letters, according to the Carroll County Times. Lt. Patrick McCrory, commander of the state police Westminster barracks, said the message likely went up Saturday night or early Sunday [7/13/2014]. He said he considered the message to be a hate crime. "This is definitely a racial, religious, ethnic incident," he told the paper. Are Pregnant Teenagers the Next Group that Will Surge Across the Border? "A lot" of pregnant juveniles have crossed the border into the Rio Grande Valley as part of the influx of Central American illegal immigrants, says Albert Spratte, the sergeant-at-arms of the National Border Patrol Council Local 3307 in the valley. "It's not uncommon to see 16-, 17-year-old girls who are six to eight months pregnant," Spratte tells National Review Online. Border Patrol agents do not appear to have kept statistics on the amount of pregnant teenagers traveling to the U.S., he says, but some arrive almost nine months pregnant. La Raza Invades the Calendar. Beginning in the 1960s, Dia de la Raza "has served as a time of mobilization for pan-ethnic Latino activists." In fact, "La Raza has served as a periodic rallying cry for Hispanic activists" with the first Hispanic March on Washington occurring on Columbus Day in 1996. Additionally, the largest Hispanic social justice organization is called the National Council of La Raza (NCLR). [...] Strong supporters of the DREAM Act, the NCLR teaches that "Colorado, California, Arizona, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Oregon and parts of Washington State make up an area known as 'Aztlán' — a fictional ancestral homeland of the Aztecs before Europeans arrived in North America." Leaked Data Shows 10-Fold Increase In Obama's Asylum Approvals. The number of foreigners who successfully filed asylum claims in the United States almost tripled from 2012 to 2013, up to 30,393. That's 10 times the number from 2008, when President Barack Obama was elected, and it is evidence his immigration officials are agreeing that many people in the growing wave of Central American migrants face a "credible fear" of harm if they are returned. Official approval allows the migrants to file for asylum in immigration court, where judges will approve or reject the asylum request. If you came illegally to the U.S. seeking asylum in 2013, you had better than a four-in-five chance of successfully filing an asylum claim. That's up from a three-in-five chance in 2008. A Flashing Green Light. The tens of thousands of Central Americans who have crossed America's porous borders over the last year came on the assumption that once on U.S. soil they would never have to return to their countries. The instigators of this influx correctly viewed Obama's de facto support for amnesty as a flashing green light. After all, how seriously were they going to take U.S. immigration law under a president who treated border security as a punch line to a joke? In 2011, Obama loudly mocked conservatives, the very ones who foresaw today's mushrooming crisis, as malcontents crying wolf about a vulnerable border. House Dems Push Amnesty On Twitter: America's 'Doors Are Open'. As thousands of illegal immigrant children are crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, House Democrats pushed for more amnesty, guest-worker visas, $3.7 billion in funding, and more lawyers for illegal immigrant children during a Tuesday Twitter town hall on immigration. Their message to illegal immigrants was, in the words of Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), "our doors are open." "We are all connected. We can't just build a wall or a fence and say no more," Lewis said. "This is America. Our doors are open." Obama's border invasion is the crisis next door for everyone. I think one reason this situation is souring badly enough for even the Washington Post to sound red alerts is that it's the crisis next door for everyone. It's not just about pumping states that don't vote Democrat full of illegal aliens. They're getting resettled all across the country, leading local officials and law enforcement to raise a hue and cry from coast to cost. Murrieta: City of Hate? Or Home of the New Revolution? The illegal immigration protests in Murrieta, for the most part, have come to an end. The federal government backed down, deciding not to send bus loads of diseased migrants into our community anymore. Now, they are shipping them to local churches, and border patrol facilities in other States. [...] Most of America supports the idea of securing the border. In fact, one poll states that 82% of Americans are in favor of securing the border with Mexico. That tells me that most Americans support the patriots in Murrieta, and their protest against the federal government trying to force its will upon a community. Obama's Request: 4x as Much to House Illegals as to Secure Border. Of the $3.7 billion in emergency funds President Obama requested of Congress last week to deal with the mounting immigration crisis at the southern U.S. border, $1.8 billion is earmarked for housing and medical services for illegal aliens. That amount is more than four times the $433 million carved out for U.S. Border Patrol to help strengthen border security. According to a breakdown by the White House, $1.8 billion in taxpayer dollars — around half the total emergency funding — will go directly to the Department of Health and Human Services to improve the detention conditions for unaccompanied minors and family units with children, many of whom are currently being held in overcrowded makeshift shelters along the U.S. border. Here's my solution to halt tide of illegals. There's a very simple solution to this Obamanation that's occurring on the southern border. Enforce the law. By which I mean, deport them. Deport them all, not just the latest huddled masses yearning to live for free, forever, in Section 8 housing on EBT cards. No, we must deport all of the 12 or 20 or 30 million illegal aliens who are turning this country into a Third World flophouse. Can we do it? Yes, we can. Sessions Warns All of Congress: Obama's New Immigration Strategy 'Threatens Foundation of Our Constitutional Republic'. Senate Budget Committee ranking member Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) has warned all of his colleagues in Congress that President Barack Obama's new immigration strategy — his plans to legalize millions of illegal alien adults through executive power — could destroy America as we know it. "I write to inform you of a development that threatens the foundation of our constitutional Republic," Sessions, Congress's top immigration hawk, wrote in a letter that was hand-delivered to all 535 members of Congress on Monday [7/14/2014] and provided exclusively to Breitbart News. Protests could get messy, but if they do, they will be televised. Political fallout from underage illegals may spread far from the Rio Grande Valley. The flood of underage — and many not-so-underage — illegal immigrants from the Central American countries of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador crested in the Rio Grande Valley, but now the waters are being diverted and channeled to other parts of the United States. Well, maybe that metaphor is a bit labored, but my point is that these young and not-so-young people are being transported to various parts of the country, to be put under the care of relatives, we are told, though it's not so clear that the caregivers are always relatives. Obama, the Border, and Borderline Judgment. President Obama is a political trailblazer, but some of the precedents he's setting are highly dubious. At the top of my list would be his habit of relentlessly berating his political opponents at the same time he's asking for their help. Convinced that the huge recent influx of undocumented women and children from Central America requires an emergency federal response, Obama asked last week for nearly $4 billion in emergency funds from Congress. But even while making this supplemental request, Obama couldn't resist relentlessly mocking the very House Republicans whose votes he needs. Rick Perry's burden: Texas already spent $500 million on border crisis. Critics say Texas Gov. Rick Perry is trying to politicize the border crisis only to bolster a potential White House run in 2016. Yes, there could be some of that going on, but Mr. Perry also has a succinct reason for speaking out, loudly and often, about the surge of young illegal immigrants: The Lone Star State has already spent a half-billion dollars on the situation. "This is a crisis created by failed federal policy and a lack of will to dedicate the resources necessary to secure the border once and for all," he says. "This has been a problem for a long time. In Texas, we've spent more than $500 million since 2005 to supplement border protection, fighting transnational gangs and drug cartels conducting criminal activities in the border region." GOP rejecting Obama's border funding request. Republicans in the House and Senate have voted thumbs down on President Obama's request for $3.8 billion to deal with the crisis on our southern border. Most lawmakers think it's too much money and not enough funds earmarked for border security. Really? Then why didn't the border "break down" until recently? Endless wave of illegal immigrants floods Rio Grande valley. Life jackets of all sizes and the occasional punctured raft are strewn along the banks of the Rio Grande, just south of Mission, Texas, where a relentless onslaught of illegal immigrants eagerly surrender to beleaguered Border Patrol agents around the clock. It's a cycle for which there is no end in sight. AZ Rancher: 'Border Is on Fire and Washington Is Sending Us Gasoline'. Arizona ranchers are extending an invitation to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to take a firsthand look at the border crisis. In a video, the pair invited Pelosi to the border, even offering to "send a plane" for her. John Ladd and Fred Davis joined Fox and Friends this morning to share their message. Ladd said the "biggest lie coming out of Washington" is that the border is secure. "My south fence is the international border." Elian Gonzalez, Call Your Office. Eric Holder made a very emotional plea the other day when he announced the Obama administration program "Justice AmeriCorps," intended to provide emergency legal representation to the tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors flooding across our open southern border from Central America. "How we treat those in need, particularly young people who must appear in immigration proceedings, many of whom are fleeing violence, persecution, abuse or trafficking — goes to the core of who we are as a nation," the attorney general said, explaining a program to provide 100 lawyers and paralegals for minors brought here by drug cartels and other human traffickers. How we treated Cuban waif Elian Gonzalez, who had survived a perilous raft journey that killed his mother to flee the communist tyranny of Fidel Castro's Cuba, speaks volumes about the hypocrisy of Democrats and Holder, who applauded and engineered the forcible return of Elian at gunpoint to Cuba. Hispanic Caucus disavows border statements by Rep. Cuellar. Leaders of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus pushed back hard against one of their own on Friday, saying Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) doesn't speak for the group in calling to make it easier to deport Central American children amassing at the southern border. The Government Agency that Supposedly Deports Illegal Aliens Is About to Run Out Of Money. Who even knows what's true anymore? The same administration that is watching 57,000 kids just stroll across the border, while claiming that the same border is more secure than ever before, now says that funds to deport are getting low. Even though actual deportations — not the phony ones that the administration claimed for years — are down overall. Disorder at the Border: What Obama wrought. Watching the influx of unaccompanied minors crossing our southwestern border daily, a reasonable man could conclude that we are living out the fevered dreams of a dystopian novel. The United States has lost a basic aspect of sovereignty. Control over its borders is a relic of the past. A Country That Cannot Protect Its Borders Will Not Last. Citizens are becoming outraged by this latest "folly" — just one of many — by our government. There is a lack of control that cannot continue for much longer without severe repercussions. Countries that have had their borders overrun are quick to remedy the situation (or to at least try to). Some people believe that this could be part of Obama's plan to destroy this country — I personally think it is pure and simple incompetence. His indifference has become apparent. It's Laughable How Much Cheaper It Would Be to Send Illegals Back Than Approve Obama's $3.8 Billion. Former Congressman Ernest Istook (R-Oklahoma) has a plan to deal with tens of thousands of illegal immigrants who have arrived on the southern border in recent weeks: Fly them home. More importantly, he said this can be achieved for 99.5% less than the $3.8 billion that President Barack Obama is asking for to house 30,000 illegal aliens for a year. Mexico Made Deal To Send More Illegal Aliens To The U.S.. On Monday, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and Guatemalan president Otto Perez Molina held a joint press conference in Playas de Catazaja, Mexico, to officially announce an agreement to make it easier for those making the illegal journey to the United States from Central America, to cross into Mexico. The Southern Border Program to Improve Passage, will provide for more border checkpoints along Mexico's border with Guatemala, and offer more protection and even emergency medical care to those making their way north. The illegal aliens will receive a so-called Regional Visitor's Card, according to El Universal. Murrieta Border Patrol Using Skype To Process Illegal Aliens. Murrieta Border Patrol agents have begun using online communication services, including Skype, to continue to process illegal aliens held in Texas detention centers. Border Patrol sources told KFI Radio's Steven Gregory that Murrieta agents can process up to 25 people per shift, depending on the amount of staff in the Texas facilities. Mark Levin Unveils Three-Step Border Plan. On Wednesday, conservative scholar and talk radio host Mark Levin unveiled his three-step border security plan on a dry erase board on Fox News' Hannity. Appearing in a segment after pro-amnesty Republican Karl Rove, Levin, the conservative who was Attorney General Ed Meese's chief of staff in the Reagan Administration, held up a dry erase board that read, "Deport! Secure Border! Cut $ From Foreign GOVTS!" Levin said his plan was a "humane program" that would discourage illegal immigrant children from making the treacherous journey to America so that they are not killed or raped. And he emphasized that America should not give taxpayer dollars to countries that encourage or do nothing about their people illegally flooding across the U.S.-Mexico border. Mexico's Southern Border. It costs $1.30 to cross a river from Guatemala, in full view of police. [Video clip] 46 Illegal Aliens Bused To Church In Fontana For Release. Breitbart News has learned that 46 illegal aliens, mostly women and children originally destined for the U.S. Border Patrol station in Murrieta, CA, were bused instead Thursday [7/10/2014] to the St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Fontana, roughly 45 miles north. The 46 are among several hundred Central Americans who were caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas and have been transferred to California since. Importing Revolution. The motives behind moving whole populations via executive fiat break down into two main categories. One is to prevent revolution and unrest by moving and quarantining what are considered indigestible peoples in order to weaken their resistance to the powers that be. [...] But there is a second reason for moving people around, and that is to foster revolution by actively promoting unrest. The goal is to achieve "fundamental transformation" of a country by tearing down existing structures, replacing them with a new order of government. Super-Amnesty Will Turn Every City into Detroit. After another bloody weekend in Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel branded the shootings unacceptable and the city's top cop demanded more gun control laws. Chicago's murder rate has actually dropped since concealed carry became legal. Emanuel's lawsuits over his illegal gun control laws have left the already struggling city deep in the hole and forced to cover the NRA's million dollars in legal bills. Concealed carry paid off over the bloody weekend when a vet carrying a gun returned fire stopping a massacre before it happened. The original shooter ended up in the hospital, but nobody ended up in the morgue, which kept the death toll for the weekend down to fourteen. TSA Allowing Illegals to Fly Without Verifiable ID, Says Border Patrol Union. Illegal aliens are being allowed to fly on commercial airliners without valid identification, according to the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC). "The aliens who are getting released on their own recognizance are being allowed to board and travel commercial airliners by simply showing their Notice to Appear forms," NBPC's Local 2455 Spokesman, Hector Garza, told Breitbart Texas. Did Obama Lose His Pen and Phone at the Border? Back in January, Obama labeled 2014 a "year of action." He said, "I've got a pen and I've got a phone" and promised to use them to "take executive actions and administrative actions" if Congress failed to get things done. [...] Obama repeated this refrain at a 10 a.m. speech in Denver on Wednesday [7/9/2014]. "I'm not going to stand by," he said, "while partisan gridlock or political games threaten the hard work of millions of Americans," adding, to hefty applause, that if "I've got the legal authority to do it, I'm going to do it. I'm not going to wait! Not going to wait!" Just eight hours later on that same day, Obama was grumbling that if Congress didn't give him the $3.7 billion he wants to deal with the border crisis, there was nothing he could do about it. Illegal immigrants showing up at border with 'Yes we can' Obama shoes: report. Shoes with President Obama's face and the campaign slogan "Yes we can" are apparently showing up on the feet of illegal immigrants along the U.S. southern border. The conservative writer and filmmaker Dennis Michael Lynch posted the images on his Facebook page Wednesday [7/9/2014]. Mr. Lynch said that the pictures were sent to him by U.S. Border Patrol agents. Michelle Obama to Latinos: We Can't Wait for Congress to Fix Immigration. In New York City, First Lady Michelle Obama spoke at the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) convention, promising that her husband would act on his own to fix the broken immigration system. "So make no mistake about it, we have to keep on fighting as hard as we can on immigration," she said as the crowd cheered. "And as my husband has said, he's going to do whatever administrative action it takes to fix this broken system." Feds Using Texas Hospitals to Evaluate Illegal Immigrants. Breitbart Texas has learned that hospitals based in Southern Texas are being utilized to evaluate and treat illegal immigrants before they are sent to housing facilities around the country. The revelation could help justify claims that the tidal wave of Central Americans entering the U.S. illegally each day will clog up U.S. hospitals. Obama's immigration implosion. President Barack Obama is self-righteously grumbling that, having been stymied by Republicans in Congress, he'll enact immigration reform on his own by voice vote in the West Wing. [...] The demise of his immigration agenda was predictable because it was killed by the same incompetence and false assumptions that have characterized his entire presidency. Sure, with an immigration fiat, he'll achieve some short-term goals. A whole new crop of poor immigrants, also known as larval-stage Democratic voters, will enter the country. Obama takes his trademark 'the science is settled' approach to immigration reform. Of course, there are several things wrong with promising that immigration reform, such as it exists in Congress, is nothing but a boon to the U.S. economy and that anyone who says otherwise is denying things that we supposedly "know." There are a few points that need to be considered: First, the immigration bill proposed by the so-called "Gang of Eight" in the Senate, which has Obama's support, boasts that it will attract high-skill workers, but it will obviously attract low-skill laborers as well. Remember, adult unauthorized immigrants currently in the U.S. are "disproportionately likely to be poorly educated," according to Pew study released at the outset of Obama's presidency. Billionaires Call For Amnesty As Obama Plans To Legalize Millions of Illegal Aliens With Executive Power. Billionaires Warren Buffett, Sheldon Adelson and Bill Gates have teamed up to call for amnesty for America's illegal immigrants as a solution to the ongoing crisis at the border as President Barack Obama mulls granting amnesty to millions via executive power. U.S. Immigration Law Has Been Hijacked By Immoral Special Interest. For all the pop romance in Latin America associated with Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba, few Latinos prefer to immigrate to such communist utopias or to socialist spinoffs like Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador or Peru. Instead, hundreds of thousands of poor people continue to risk danger to enter democratic, free-market America, which they've often been taught back home is the source of their misery. They either believe that America's supposedly inadequate social safety net is far better than the one back home, or that its purportedly cruel free market gives them more opportunities than anywhere in Latin America — or both. Obama's Texas Two-Step. President Obama was 500 miles from the Mexican border when he spoke about the child-migrant crisis Wednesday evening, but he seemed to be even farther away than that. Standing before an oddly nondescript background in Dallas (really, the president could have been anywhere), Obama kept his distance — from the border, from the thousands of refugee children in bureaucratic limbo there, and from a Congress, he told the public, that bears the brunt of the responsibility for solving the problem. What's Obama hiding at illegal-alien 'refugee' camps? President Obama's ultimate weakness may be that he believes his own blarney. A year ago, Mr. Obama boasted in a "fireside" Web chat that his "is the most transparent administration in history." There was not the slightest hint of irony. He may actually believe it. But three-dozen organizations representing newspapermen and other journalists, mostly liberals, beg to differ. In a testy letter to the president on Tuesday [7/8/2014], the group decried the "slick non-answers" and cold shoulders they're getting from Mr. Obama's representatives, who have restricted access to any information they consider embarrassing to the administration. How a campaign move on immigration is haunting Obama now. The border crisis is forcing President Obama to pay the price for a re-election move he made two years ago. At the time, Obama was hoping to energize Latino voters who were disappointed that he had raised deportations to record levels in an attempt to build credibility with Republican lawmakers for an eventual deal on immigration reform. So in June 2012, Obama announced a half-measure he would take on his own. Through an executive order, Obama allowed hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who came before the age of 16 to remain in the U.S. Creating Confusion Is A Strategy — Inside Analysis of The $3.7 Billion Supplemental Budget Request. Various downstream factions of political opposition are predictably breaking apart under the flow of illegal immigration issues President Obama is controlling upstream. People in Murrietta California standing guard to block the transfer of illegal aliens into their neighborhood; and at the same time you have Glenn Beck loading teddy bears and bottled water into tractor trailers headed to detainment camps. You've got Catholic social welfare organizations collecting clothes and food, while the non-borders crowd are beating drums in front of the White House demanding amnesty. Murrieta Immigration Scare Tactics. As the July 7 protest in Murrieta regarding immigration, and the potential of more busloads of diseased people being shipped to the Border Patrol Station for processing on Madison Avenue loomed, so did the potential of the federal government forcing its will upon the City of Murrieta with riot personnel. The rumor made its way to Breitbart.com, and fears of a blood-bath emerged throughout the community, and throughout the country. I discounted the rumor as merely a remote possibility, and a rumor that may have been leaked by the federal government by design. Fear is the way this administration prefers to rule. The Government vs. the People: Rebuilding Trust in the Midst of the Illegal Alien Tsunami. Two weeks ago, Obama told ABC News that most of the recent illegal border crossers would be sent home. Then on Sunday [7/6/2014], Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson refused to answer straightforward questions about deporting them. And now as the President seeks an additional $3.8 billion from Congress to deal with the crisis, the White House is trying to convince us anew that they are serious about enforcement. Right, and if you like your health insurance plan, you can keep it. Texas Rep. Lamar Smith: Not "a Single Penny" To Obama Until He Secures Border. Congress should not provide the Obama administration with any additional funding until it uses current resources to secure the border and confront illegal immigration, according to Texas Republican Rep. Lamar Smith. "This isn't a funding problem, it's an enforcement problem. Rather than enforce our nation's immigration laws, the President has chosen to ignore them. Instead, he continues to call for massive amnesty for millions of illegal immigrants," Smith said. Don't Look for Congress to Rubber Stamp Obama's $3.7B Border Request. There's no shortage of criticism on Capitol Hill over how President Obama has handled the escalating humanitarian crisis at the border, but don't look for Congress to simply rubber stamp his $3.7 billion emergency spending request. The concerns are not only coming from Republicans. Democrats have as many questions of their own over the White House proposal. Border-line Obama. President Obama has an opportunity to do two big things: help resolve the ongoing crisis at the border, and put us on a path to immigration reform. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem interested in either. Today [7/9/2014] the president is in Texas, where he turned down an invitation from Gov. Rick Perry to tour the border for himself so he might see the crisis firsthand. Not interested, the president told the governor. Instead, he'll spend his time fund-raising. Obama's visit to Texas comes just after he asked Congress for $3.8 billion in emergency spending. Five reasons Obama may not get his border money. President Obama is asking Congress for billions to handle a border crisis, but that doesn't mean he'll get it. The administration won't get the $3.7 billion unless Republicans in the House and Senate go along with the request, but there are several reasons that may not happen. Here are five reasons why: [...] New Poll: A Third Of Hispanics Blame Obama For Border Meltdown. The public's hostile reaction to the border meltdown means trouble for the senators who voted in June 2013 for a business-backed bill that encouraged the Central American migration, said Roy Beck, the director of NumbersUSA. The 2013 bill, which was rejected by House GOP legislators, would have amnestied at least 12 million illegals, and also boosted the inflow of guest workers to more than one million per year. Leaked Internal DHS Report Admits Lack of Deportation Significant Factor in Border Crisis. A leaked internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) report from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) indicates that recent public assertions made by the Administration were at best half-truths regarding the deportations and motivations of the waves of minors illegally entering the United States. The leaked report's release date is identified as June 3, 2014. The internal report was leaked to Breitbart Texas by a trusted law enforcement source in DHS who wishes to remain unidentified. Los Angeles to Stop Honoring Federal Immigration Detainer Requests. The city of Los Angeles has joined Orange County, Riverside County, and other cities nationwide in ending the practice of holding illegal immigrant inmates past their scheduled release dates, characterizing the practice as "unconstitutional" under a recent federal court ruling. L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti and police Chief Charlie Beck announced the decision in a joint statement released Monday [7/7/2014], according to NBC News. Obama won't look at the illegal immigration crisis but he'll raise funds off it. Illegal immigrants continue to pour across the southwestern U.S. border, overwhelming both the border security apparatus and the immigration system. The flood of tens of thousands of people, mostly children, from Central America has reached crisis proportions, with temporary camps opened in military bases to house them as authorities decide how to deal with their cases. Report: 300,000 Central American immigrants heading to U.S.. "It's getting better," said U.S. Border Patrol Council Shawn Moran in an interview with San Antonio's WOAI. "Everyone is being screened and receiving medical care." That's nice, but buried at the bottom of that report was a deeply disturbing revelation that the federal government estimates approximately 300,000 prospective illegal immigrants are currently on their way to the American border. Arizona Gov. Brewer blasts 'imperial' Obama for failing to secure border. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer tore into President Obama on Twitter, calling him an "imperial POTUS" for failing to secure the border and allowing illegal immigrants to "overrun" the country. [...] Her comments came after a federal appeals court ruled that Arizona cannot deny driver's licenses to immigrants allowed to stay in the U.S. under the Obama administration's deferred action policy, known as DACA. More about Arizona and illegal immigration. The attention getter regarding the recent eruption of illegal immigration? Money. Is this retribution by the Obama administration upon the two states that theoretically are his "least favorite"? Governors Brewer of Arizona and Perry of Texas have thumbed their nose at Obama's antics, and rightfully so. The Obama administration dragging "those who are not with us" through the "key hole" ala the IRS and other channels, is very plausible. Additionally, the uncontrolled flow of illegals into this country plays right into the Cloward and Piven strategy theorists, tipping over the finances of this country by creating an untenable welfare situation. Third immigrant plane lands in San Diego. A third plane filled with Central American immigrants landed at Lindbergh Field Monday morning as protests continued at the Border Patrol station in Murrieta. Three Department of Human Services buses shuttled some 140 immigrants from the plane to a Border Patrol station in San Ysidro. Once they arrived, agents wearing plastic gloves conducted pat downs on some of the Central American immigrants. Say it ain't so, Jeh! On Meet the Press this morning [7/6/2014], David Gregory did a commendable job of trying to get an answer from Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to this question (my words): will most of the illegal minors stay or be deported? Johnson obscures his answer in a political word cloud that I confidently translate: "Stay." Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson dodges deportation question. Department of Homeland Security secretary Jeh Johnson expressed optimism Sunday [7/6/2014] that the influx of illegal immigration from Central America could be slowed, but repeatedly dodged questions about how the Obama administration would resolve the status of the immigrants who have already arrived. [...] But Johnson was less forthright about the administration's stance toward the more than 50,000 unaccompanied minors who have crossed the border this year, many of whom remain in the custody of the Border Patrol or the Department of Health and Human Services. Those children are a "special situation," said Johnson. Born on the Fifth of July. Considering the sundry enthusiasms upon which government at all level spends our money — Harry Reid's bovine literary interests, helping out those poor struggling people who own Boeing — it is remarkable that the job of apprehending a known felon, once deported from the United States and illegally present in Texas, fell to volunteers in Brooks County, near the Mexican border. Brooks County, like many other border areas, is overrun with illegal immigrants, and the cost of burying those illegals who die in transit, which can run into the six figures annually, has forced the county to cut back on regular law enforcement. And thus we have the volunteer deputies who brought in the felon, who after he injured his ankle had been been abandoned by the coyotes — professional human traffickers — who had brought him across the border. Immigration agents accused of database abuse; cartels make corruption easy. At least a half-dozen federal immigration agents have come under investigation since 2012 for snooping into law enforcement databases — computer misconduct ranging from "self queries" to accusations that one of them tried to use the databases to warn drug smugglers if they were under investigation. The information, gleaned from highly redacted records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, includes the investigation of one Customs and Border Protection officer tied to a "drug-trafficking organization that has utilized compromised law-enforcement officers in the past." Obama's war on real Americans. In California, and a lot of other places, real Americans have had enough. Recently in Murrieta, buses filled with illegal aliens were stopped by American protestors. On the other side were illegal alien supporters who burned an American flag and shouted racist obscenities at the real Americans standing for their country. Now there are reports that the federal government is going to try and run buses of illegal aliens to Murrieta again, to the federal processing center. That is the stop before they are released into America. This time, instead of listening to the people and backing off, according to media reports the Feds are coming in loaded for bear. Source: Feds to Bring in Riot Squad Against Illegal Immigration Protesters. As illegal immigrants continue to spill across the U.S.-Mexico border, federal authorities are attempting to relocate the migrants from South Texas to housing facilities in states across the nation. One such facility is located in Murrieta, California, where a large group of protesters recently blocked a bus full of migrants from arriving. The protesters remain there, adamant that illegal immigrants don't get dumped in their town. But soon the concerned citizens may be forced to step down — Breitbart Texas has learned that federal agents plan to arrive in Murrieta on Monday with riot gear to ensure that another busload makes it to the housing facility. The Border Crisis Is Obama's Hurricane Katrina? Don't Be Ridiculous! Some (including some Democrats) are saying that the crisis on the Southwestern border is President Obama's Hurricane Katrina. But there are at least two fundamental differences between the illegal immigration fiasco and Katrina. First, the response to Hurricane Katrina was actually the largest and the fastest response to any natural disaster in history, as Popular Mechanics, as I recall, later documented. Second, President Bush didn't cause the hurricane. The current disaster is entirely attributable to Barack Obama's willful refusal to enforce the immigration laws, in violation of his oath of office. Is Obama's subversion of the nation's laws an impeachable offense? I don't think there is any doubt about it. Reality vs. Political Correctness: Amnesty and the Fight for America's Soul. Amnesty for more than 10 million illegal aliens (on the very conservative end of the projections) will necessarily cause an expansion of the federally funded social "safety net" in terms of health care and education, a burden which American taxpayers do not want, and there are pragmatic reasons, aforementioned, to suggest that the expansion of the federally subsidized social "safety nets" is a bad thing for our country. At the very least, that expansion should be considered and approved by the legislative body to which our foundational contract has assigned the task. It is not a matter that would have ever reasonably been left at the whim of a single man in executive power. And for good reason. If Obama does what his previous actions suggest he will do, which is to act well outside his constitutional tether to advance amnesty for these lawbreakers and their children that have illegally entered our country, he will have made himself an outright despot. And we Americans will have a choice to either accept his despotism or reject it. Hispanics Split Over Obama's Border Meltdown. Polls show that American Latinos have deeply ambivalent views about the 100,000-plus illegal immigrants flooding across the American border with Mexico. Lopsided majorities say they want tighter border security and lopsided majorities say they illegal immigrants to be accepted. Obama the Betrayer. The hokey "spontaneous" immigrant wave of children and criminals is just another example of hard-left agitprop — in this case culminating in massive, deliberate child endangerment and probable abuse. Obama's self-appointed mission in life is to destroy the most productive and beneficial culture in history. Obama personally taught Alinsky's Rules to his ACORN followers, and Alinsky called us "the enemy." That word is used in war, and radicals like Obama and Malcolm X are bitter warlike agitators. (The old word for "community organizer" was "communist agitator"). Charter plane thought to be carrying immigrants arrives in San Diego. A charter plane believed to be carrying immigrants arrived this evening at San Diego's Lindbergh Field, apparently from Texas. Three Homeland Security buses arrived a few minutes later, trailed by numerous law enforcement vehicles. There is no information as to the buses' destination. Revolutionary Communist Party USA Linked to Pro-Amnesty Protests at Murrieta. The Revolutionary Communist Party, USA is just one among several left-wing radical groups that have flocked to the Murrieta protests to oppose local residents who are demonstrating against the transfer of illegal aliens to their community. One group of activists chanted "white supremacists out" and danced to drums last Friday [7/4/2014] as several shredded, and some upside-down, American flags were hoisted above the crowd. Obama Could End the Border Crisis Tomorrow if He Wanted. President Obama may have described the waves of tens of thousands of migrant families flooding the southern border as a "humanitarian crisis," but it is a humanitarian crisis entirely of his own creation and one which he could end tomorrow if he wanted to. Chicago Rejects Illegal Aliens. If you watch the lame stream Pravda U.S. News you'd be inclined to think that only conservative communities take issue with busloads of disease riddled, contagion spreading, Illegal Aliens disbursed in their neighborhoods to overwhelm their social safety nets. [...] Here you see the same response from uber-liberal Chicago's South Side. But that doesn't fit the Pravda narrative, so you probably won't see Anderson Cooper or Rachel Maddow calling Chicagoans "bigots" or "racists". 'La Raza' President calls anti-illegal protesters defending their city 'extremists,' 'appalling' and 'outrageous'. If you want to have some credibility when reporting on the immigration debate, you get rational representatives from both sides. Unless you're MSNBC — to make sure your ratings stay at the bottom of the Marianas Trench, you get the president of an extremist group called 'La Raza,' which means "the Race" in Spanish. Pro-Amnesty Crowd Burns American Flag at Murrieta on 4th of July. An American flag has reportedly been burned by pro-amnesty protesters near the Murrieta Border Patrol station on America's Independence Day. The Editor says... New York Times: Ugly for Americans Against Illegal Immigration to Wave American Flags, Chant 'USA'. On the day before the Fourth of July, the New York Times went out of its way to show its disgust for Americans against illegal immigration in Murrieta, California who turned away buses of illegal immigrants for, of all things, waving American flags and chanting "USA!" "Nobody was even being released in Murrieta," the Times' editorial board wrote on Thursday [7/3/2014]. "But the mayor urged residents to complain, and in a pageant of ugliness, dozens took action: They waved flags, screamed 'U.S.A.!' and turned three buses back." An immigrant surge en route to a Third World USA. There's a growing recognition that Barack Obama is an incompetent poser, working out of his depth, and his administration is the gang that can't shoot straight. There's a lot of evidence to support that belief. Everything he touches becomes a bloody mess, like crushed bones and bits of flesh caught in the tracks of a tank slicing through a rank of soldiers (or civilians). 'Viva La Raza!' Pro-Illegal Alien Activists at Murrieta Town Hall. Outside a community town hall meeting Wednesday [7/2/12014] in Murrieta, California, left-wing activists supporting the illegal alien transfers that had been thwarted earlier in the week chanted and intimidated community residents as they left the local high school. The town meeting had been held to address community concerns over the impact of hundreds of illegal aliens destined for processing at the Murrieta Border Patrol station. Bush Center Immigration Reform Panel Ignores Border Security. The George W. Bush Institute held an immigration reform panel this week that completely ignored any meaningful discussion of border security. The panelists called for a "bipartisan approach" on fixing the immigration system. The panelists claimed immediate immigration reform would somehow reduce the burden on taxpayers, improve the economy, and ensure long-term health for the Republican Party. Murrieta's Cliven Bundy Moment. For eight months, the Murrieta Border Patrol station has been receiving illegal aliens, sometimes in small numbers, and sometimes when you add up the busloads during the week, hundreds per week. The shipments have been during the dead of night, at times when nobody notices, and in small increments in order to keep the truth hidden from the average Murrieta resident. The Illegal Immigrants are being shipped in from overcrowded facilities in San Diego, and Texas, where the massive onslaught of new arrivals have overwhelmed the locations on the front line. Murrieta Town Hall Vents Anger At Feds Over Alien Transfers. A town hall in Murrieta, CA on Wednesday evening erupted into anger at the federal government over its failure to enforce immigration laws, as counter-demonstrators outside showed support for the illegal aliens — many of them women and children — being transported to the community from Border Patrol facilities in Texas. Local KCAL9 News reported that 750 residents gathered inside the local high school, and hundreds were turned away. Watching The Revolution Unfold on Independence Day. Masking his gloating behind a White House barbecue for military service members and their families, Obama will be celebrating finally having found the way to wipe out all American independence period. Fomenting for revolution for most of his life, Obama has seized upon a surefire Revolution brought on by the chaos and anarchy all but guaranteed in the wake of the ploy he calls a "humanitarian crisis". It's Time For An Immigration Shutdown. It's high time for an immigration shutdown, including a moratorium on legal immigration. And it has to be done now. Illegal immigration should not even be up for debate. If there is going to be any hope to save the historic American nation, a moratorium on immigration is a necessity. This requires a frontal attack on the "Nation Of Immigrants" myth used to brainwash Americans. It's nothing but an attempt to shut down rational discussion of the issue[.] Sadly, many people think the United States has no real identity or culture — it's just a big place where immigrants go. Protesters Cause Bus Carrying Illegal Immigrants to Detour. A group of protesters staged a demonstration near a Border Patrol processing station in Murrieta, Riverside County, California on July 1 that resulted in three buses carrying 140 illegal immigrants being carried to the station to turn back. The aliens, many of whom were women and children from Central America, had illegally crossed the border into Texas recently and had surrendered to Border Patrol agents there. Instead of detaining the aliens and deporting them back to their homelands, the Department of Homeland Security — following current standard procedure — flew them on a U.S. government charter flight to San Diego. Government to Doctors: Mention Illegal Aliens' Diseases, Go to Jail. It appears that our government is working hard for the citizens. Unfortunately, they're not the citizens of the United States. Fox News' Todd Starnes reports shocking allegations that a government-contracted security force is threatening to arrest medical personnel at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, if they reveal information about the rampant disease among the illegal migrants at the facility. Nonetheless, several of these workers have decided to come forward, fearing the contagion risk posed to Americans. Starnes has kept their identities secret, as they could be subject to persecution. Starnes reports, "'There were several of us who wanted to talk about the camps, but the agents made it clear we would be arrested,' a psychiatric counselor told me. "We were under orders not to say anything.'" Krauthammer: "If Fences Don't Work, Why Is There One Around The White House?". ["]You start with a fence. It's very simple. People say, 'Oh, fences don't work. You make a ladder.' Well, then you build two fences, triple strand fences. San Diego did that in the mid 90's and within a decade, the illegal immigration rate at that point was reduced by 90% and people ended up going through other places like Arizona.["] After protesters block detainee buses, immigration agents mum on plans. Citing "safety and security considerations," federal officials are declining to discuss what's next for about 140 immigrant detainees turned away Tuesday [7/1/2014] by hundreds of protesters who blocked their buses from entering a Border Patrol processing station in Murrieta. On Tuesday [7/1/2014], 100 to 150 protestors met three buses a few blocks from the border patrol station with chants of "Go home" and "We want to be safe." Dem Congressman: We Must Detain And Immediately Deport Them. As illegal immigrants continue to pour across the border, word is spreading in Central America that migrants with children ("family units") will get to stay in the U.S. Texas Congressman Henry Cuellar (D-Laredo, TX) told Breitbart Texas that most Mexican migrants who cross the border illegally are promptly sent back to their home countries — the same should be done to Central American illegal immigrants, he argued. "If we don't detain and immediately remove them — like we do with Mexican [illegal immigrants] — then they're going to keep coming," Cuellar said. No Borders, No Rules = Dictatorship! Tens of thousands of illegals trampled over our borders. Where is the President? Out campaigning. [...] We are seeing an influx of illegals coming from South America and Mexico at record numbers. Instead of following our own deportation rules, the president has told his people that we are to care for, document, feed, and clothe those coming over the border illegally. We can't help our veterans. Only the illegals. We have homeless vets that we can't put in some of the military bases across the country, but we can, fly, bus, and truck illegals in to occupy those places. We can fly in medical personnel and supplies, but we can't do the same for our vets. Hundreds of furious protestors block road for buses carrying 140 illegal immigrants. The dramatic confrontation between the flag waving protestors and the Homeland Security buses came one day after Mayor Alan Long urged residents to resist the federal government's plan to transfer the Central American migrants to California to ease overcrowding of facilities along the Texas-Mexico border. Protesters Block Buses Carrying Undocumented Children in CA. Alan Long, the mayor of Murietta, spoke out on the transfer Monday [6/30/2014]. Long voiced opposition to the transfer and encouraged residents to speak out on it too, but assured that local authorities have prepared to deal with any potential security issues. But that became irrelevant today when protestors physically blocked the buses, some waiting from the early morning to protest. And so, because the buses couldn't actually get to where they needed to go, they turned around and headed for a border station in San Ysidro. Ready for a Flood of Illegals to be Dumped in Your City or Town? Tens of thousands of immigrants who illegally crossed the Mexico border into Texas are in the process of being released into communities throughout the nation rather than being indefinitely detained or immediately deported, a congressman told Watchdog.org. The releases have already started and the Border Patrol did not disclose how many. At least 60,000 Central Americans have entered the country illegally this year, though some news reports say the figure is as high as 170,000. 89 Percent of Network Stories Omit Obama's Role in Causing Border Crisis. While all three networks played clips of Barack Obama on Monday blaming the GOP for the border crisis, they have been reluctant to cite the President's own failure to enforce immigration laws as a cause for thousands of immigrants illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexican border. From June 8 through the morning of July 1 ABC, CBS and NBC have offered a total of 45 stories on the border crisis, on their evening and morning shows, and in only 5 (11 percent) have they brought up Obama immigration policies as a possible cause for the most recent surge of illegal immigrants, including unaccompanied children, crossing the border. How Obama plays us time and time again. Early in Obama's administration, his Chicago machine pol pal, Rahm Emanuel, was quoted as saying, Never let a crisis go to waste. The latest problem is the serious surge of illegal aliens across the Southern border from Central America and Mexico. Obama acted Monday [6/30/2014] as if it just blew in like some unpredictable human hurricane: [...] "The journey," said Obama in faux concern, "is unbelievably dangerous for these kids." But here's the problem with Obama's burrito diplomacy: He invited this humanitarian crisis. He created it for his own political purposes. For the last two years, he deliberately delayed deportations and spoke of illegals in the U.S. staying in the U.S. Guess what? Word got out and translated for hopeful ears. [...] Like the enthusiastic audiences at Obama's telepromptered rallies, these poor frightened Latino youngsters are just props. Obama's Illegal Immigration Invitation. You can tell the tidal wave of illegal aliens, many of them unaccompanied minors, surging across the southern border is causing a bit of political discomfort for President Obama, because he briefly felt obliged to pretend he's not happy about it. "Briefly" means last Friday, when the President gave us the hilarious vaudeville pantomime act of asking the people of Central America to stop throwing their kids across the hemisphere. 59% Blame Obama For Flood Of Child Border Crossings. The late June survey found that the public largely blames Obama policies for the crisis in Iraq and believes the lost IRS emails are an administration effort to cover up wrongdoing at the agency. The poll found that 59% of those closely following the immigration crisis agree that "current administration policies and lack of focus on securing the border" are behind the human tide of illegal crossings. Six in 10 say that the children should be ordered to leave the country. (The survey found that 73% of Americans are following this story closely.) Thousands of Illegal Immigrants Bused Across US Into Cities. A glimpse into the reality of the thousands of illegal immigrants being released into the U.S. by the Obama Administration was captured on video in a Greyhound Bus station in Laredo, Texas this weekend. Gallup: Americans Would Like To See A Decrease In Immigration Levels. A new Gallup poll finds that 41 percent of Americans want immigration levels to decrease than increase; just 22 percent want levels to increase. That's nearly a two-to-one margin. If you go by party identification, 50 percent of Republicans, 43 percent of independents, and 32 percent of Democrats wish to see the flow of immigrants reduced. Gallup: Only 22% of Americans Favor Increased Immigration. With the news of a massive influx of immigrants on the southern border, a new Gallup Poll shows that only 22% of Americans favor increased immigration. Only 14% of Republicans, 23% of independents, and 27% of Democrats favor increased immigration. The poll actually revealed a strong desire among Americans to decrease immigration, as 41% of respondents thought immigration should be decreased. Illegal Immigration: The Strange Omission from Boehner's Lawsuit Against Obama. House Republicans have begun to float the idea of a lawsuit against President Obama to try to force the President to actually follow the laws Congress passes. "The Constitution makes it clear that a president's job is to faithfully execute the laws. In my view, the president has not faithfully executed the laws," the Speaker said on Wednesday [6/25/2014]. [...] But there was a strange omission in Boehner's memo: nowhere is Obama's lawless failure to enforce our immigration or border security laws mentioned, which is arguably the most egregious example of Obama's lawlessness. The Illegal Alien Who Owes $22 Million In Back Taxes. Immigrant Lee Ang is living the American dream, having become a successful stock trader in the U.S.A. and making millions since the 1990s. Unfortunately, he never became a legal citizen, and now the IRS is charging him with $22 million in back taxes. Yet the government still hasn't begun the deportation process. Earlier this year a federal tax court ruled that Lee Ang had skipped out on paying taxes between 1998 and 2001 and now owes the $22 million in back taxes, interest, and fines. Illegal Aliens in NYC Will Get Municipal IDs, Free Legal Representation. [New York Mayor Bill] DiBlasio thanked the City Council for quickly enacting what he called "critical legislation" on Thursday [6/26/2014]. The vote was 43-3. "The municipal ID is more than just a card — it provides New Yorkers who are currently living in the shadows with dignity and peace of mind. My administration is fully ready to develop this plan and to swiftly implement a secure and accessible Municipal ID Card program," DiBlasio said. The new ID program for all illegal aliens who live within New York's five boroughs — an estimated 500,000 of them — will allow them to open a bank account, sign a lease and get a library card. (And vote? some are asking.) The Editor says... The Manufactured Immigration Crisis On The Texas Border. Is the border crisis merely a result of endemic, worsening problems in Central America that are beyond our control, or did the Obama administration encourage — and even prepare for — a surge of illegal immigration for political reasons, hoping that a crisis of this kind might force Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform that includes amnesty? Both views are partially correct. Unprecedented numbers of Central Americans are risking their lives to get into the United States illegally because conditions in their home countries are nearly untenable, and getting worse. But they've also been led to believe they will not be deported. Some of the blame for that lies with the Obama administration, but not all of it. Border Patrol Agents Test Positive for Diseases Brought In by the Flood of Illegal Aliens. Whether it's accidental or by DACA design, the US-Mexico border is being overrun with illegal aliens from Central America. Mexico was once known for its tough handling of its southern border with Belize and Guatemala. Not anymore. At least 52,000 illegal aliens have managed to cross Mexico and reach the US border in the past few months. Many of them are kids. Some of them are hardcore criminals. With Hizballah known to be active in South America and Mexico, who knows who else may be using this moment to slip into the US? All job growth since 2000 has gone to immigrants — legal and illegal. The Center for Immigration Studies has released a report that should be political dynamite. Since the year 2000, legal and illegal immigrants have taken all new jobs, while native-born Americans have suffered a decline in the numbers employed. Saving the Border When the Cavalry Isn't Coming. [T]he existential danger here comes not from the assault itself. Nightmarishly, it comes from the Obama administration, which, in its greatest betrayal, is leading, or at least supporting, the aliens' charge. Border Patrol Agent: 'If the Administration Says This Isn't Amnesty, Don't Believe Them'. Albert Spratte, the sergeant-at-arms of the National Border Patrol Council, Local 3307 in the Rio Grande Valley, said the Obama administration is largely to blame for waves of illegal immigrants that have been flooding the Southwest U.S. border since February, saying the government opened the door for the crisis by making it "clear they're not going to deport people." Spratte, who was speaking with CNSNews.com as a representative of the union, further said "we don't have control of the border," and if the Obama administration claims it is not in effect giving amnesty to the illegals, then "don't believe them." Also, by allowing so many young illegal aliens to be released into this country, "the U.S. government has become a part of the smuggling business," he said. New Yorkers to pay $4.9M legal fees for 1,380 illegals facing deportation. New York City's newest budget includes enough money to pay the legal fees for about 1,380 illegal immigrants who are detained and facing deportation. Within the budget is a $4.9 million set-aside for the New York Immigrant Family Unity Project, a program that just wrapped a one-year test phase and was deemed a success by City Council, Breitbart reported. Under the program, taxpayers help cover the legal expenses for illegals in jail who should be deported, but are fighting it. Mexican Military Chopper Crosses Into Arizona and Fires At US Border Patrol Agents. On Thursday [6/26/2014], the chopper was conducting a drug-related operation and crossed the border into Arizona. Then — in U.S. airspace — it fired two shots at border patrol agents. Mexican law enforcement chopper fires in Arizona. A Mexican law enforcement chopper crossed about 100 yards north into the Arizona desert, the U.S. Border Patrol said in a statement. Mexican Military Helicopter Flies Into U.S., Shoots at Border Patrol Agents, Flies Back. Once the helicopter was back on the ground in Mexico, an apology was issued. "The incident occurred after midnight and before 6 a.m. Helicopter flew into the U.S. and fired on two U.S. Border Patrol agents. The incident occurred west of the San Miguel Gate on the Tohono O'odham Indian Nation," Border Patrol Tucson Sector Union President Art del Cueto told KVOA News 4 in a statement. "The agents were unharmed. The helicopter went back into Mexico. Mexico then contacted U.S. authorities and apologized for the incident." Counterclaims over shots fired near U.S.-Mexico border. Shots were fired this week near the U.S. border with Mexico, with a U.S. official saying they came from a Mexican law enforcement helicopter, something that a Mexican official denies. The Mexican helicopter crossed into Arizona and fired two shots near U.S. border agents, a U.S. law enforcement official said Friday. No one returned fire, and the helicopter returned to Mexico. No one was hurt in the incident, which happened about 6 a.m. local time Thursday [6/26/2014] about 100 yards into U.S. territory, the official said on condition of anonymity. Brooks County Ranchers Worry About Criminal Immigrants. Sex offenders, murder suspects and gang members are making their way through the vast rangelands of Brooks County. The Vickers ranch is one of the many land spreads affected by the surge in illegal immigration. What is more concerning to the ranch owners is the type of people trekking through their land. 'Cheat sheet' found near Mexico border shows illegal immigrants how to stay in the US if detained by authorities. The Blaze, a conservative news site, obtained a copy of the Spanish-language cheat sheet that was found near the border crossing in McAllen, Texas. America Can Have An Impenetrable Border, But We Won't. [Scroll down] And as House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., on Wednesday [6/25/2014] reminded us, more than 90% of illegals simply "do not return for their hearings" after being processed. Why would they bother? They pay no price if they don't. As Breitbart reports, swine flu is the latest health hazard that the influx has imported. Border criminals are increasingly adding the commodity of people to the drugs and weapons that they already smuggle into the U.S, with "stash houses" packing aliens like sardines. Hustling one person across the border can reportedly command as much as $7,000. The word has gone out that all that the children have to do is get to America. Once here, they can just turn themselves in, with no worries that they will be sent back anytime soon. New York to Issue ID Cards for Undocumented Immigrants. New York City's 500,000 undocumented immigrants will be able to open bank accounts, visit libraries and use medical clinics, thanks to an official municipal identification card approved by the City Council. The measure, backed by Mayor Bill de Blasio, passed in a 43 to 3 vote today [6/26/2014] with two abstentions. The photo IDs will display the holder's name, birth date, address and — at the cardholder's option — a self-designated gender. Immigration reform effectively dead until after Obama leaves office, both sides say. The two-year attempt to push immigration reform through Congress is effectively dead and unlikely to be revived until after President Obama leaves office, numerous lawmakers and advocates on both sides of the issue said this week. Report: 90% of illegals skip immigration court appearances, 135,000 will go missing. House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte, who on Wednesday [6/25/2014] held a hearing to raise national security concerns about the new wave of illegals, revealed Thursday [6/26/2014] that many of the teens are placed with relatives, including parents who are in the U.S. illegally, and then ignore court orders to appear for immigration hearings. Once they are picked up by immigration officials, "they are given a court date, expected to return, a year or more later," said the Virginia lawmaker. "The overwhelming majority of them, more than 90 percent, do not return for their hearings and as a result we have a problem," he added. Cornyn, Rubio Introduce Resolution Calling on Obama to Enforce Immigration Laws. In a resolution introduced Thursday [6/26/2014], Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn and Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio — a member of the bipartisan Gang of Eight that pushed immigration reform legislation through the Senate last year — called on the Senate to press Obama to take five steps to reduce the flood of unaccompanied illegal immigrant minors crossing the southern border. Orange County Sheriff's Department Will No Longer Hold Deportable Inmates Past Release Dates. The sheriff's department had previously held inmates up to 48 hours past their scheduled release dates so that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) could take those who would potentially be deported, including illegal aliens, into custody directly from jail. Now, the sheriff's department will call ICE shortly before these inmates leave jail so that immigration authorities can pick them up as they walk out the doors, according to the Orange County Register. 'Mixed message': Feds to house, feed illegal aliens in Border Patrol Academy. The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia, a sprawling campus in the arid dirt plains of western New Mexico known for oil and dairy farms, could soon house hundreds of children and families that have crossed the southwest border. Tens of thousands of immigrants have crossed in through Mexico primarily from Central America, where they appear to have been led to believe that once in the U.S., they will be allowed to stay. The government is scrambling to accommodate them, but some critics say putting them up in the academy turns government policy on its head. LBJ and Illegal Immigration. As tens of thousands of illegal immigrant juveniles and mothers cross over into Texas and other states on the southern border, American voters are once again being reminded of the softness of the U.S. enforcement of immigration law. What is little understood is that this permissive policy on immigration is not being perpetrated by big business or agricultural interests, but by big cities and the Federal government. The movement of illegal immigrants did not start overnight. They Took Our Jobs! Study Finds ALL New Jobs Went to Immigrants. A shocking new report from the Center for Immigration Studies claims to prove that every single new job created in America for the last fourteen years has gone to immigrants, legal and illegal. This would fly in the face of those who claim that immigration is an economic boon to native born Americans. Shots Fired From Mexico To Harass Texas-US Law Enforcement. A trusted law enforcement source is reporting that shots are currently being fired on the Mexican side of the U.S. border. The shots are intended to harass the increased presence of Texas law enforcement personnel. Texas Ranchers Under Attack. Ronnie Osburn was preparing to talk to National Review Online Thursday about lawlessness in his border community when his home was broken into. Osburn, a rancher who lives just south of a Border Patrol checkpoint in Brooks County, Texas, says he stepped away for about 45 minutes, and when he returned somebody had trashed his house. The trespassers shattered his gun case, leaving a trail of blood throughout the house, but dropped the guns near the kitchen before scattering out the back door. They had searched through the house, opened drawers, and even left a heap of uncooked bacon in a frying pan on the stove. Murder Suspects, Sex Offenders, And MS-13 Gangster Caught At Texas Border. In one weekend, the U.S. Border Patrol prevented murder suspects, multiple sex offenders, and an MS-13 gang member from entering the interior of Texas after they illegally entered into the U.S. from Mexico. The arrests occurred in the Rio Grande Valley sector, ground zero of the current border crisis. The murder suspect was caught approximately 85 miles from the border in Texas, near the town of Falfurrias. He is a Guatemalan who is wanted for alleged murder in the State of Florida. Cloward-Piven Everywhere. The Obama administration-driven calamity at this nation's southern border is no naiveté-caused accident. Instead, it's the latest manifestation of what clear-eyed observers must recognize is just one of many concerted attempts to overwhelm this nation's institutions and its social, psychological and physical infrastructure for the apparent purpose of leaving it permanently weakened and fundamentally changed. Conscious or not — and I would argue in most cases that it is quite conscious — what we're seeing is a comprehensive application of the left's long-championed Cloward-Piven strategy. This is the culture being imported by Mexican immigrants: Central America Leaders Browbeat U.S. On Immigration. Central American leaders have taken to lecturing the U.S. on the care and feeding of the tens of thousands of their emigrants who have suddenly flooded our southern border. Have they no shame? Apparently they don't, though the Spanish language has a very strong word — sinverguenza — for such gall. Start with Honduras President Juan Orlando Hernandez. After 37,049 of his countrymen were repatriated by the U.S. after fleeing in 2013, he told Fusion: "I've asked the United States government to treat this matter with the utmost care from a humanitarian perspective. They are kids in search of their parents, and they have the complete right to be with their parents." What an Open Border Looks Like. Albert Spratte, the sergeant-at-arms of the National Border Patrol Council Local 3307 in the Rio Grande Valley, says there are two types of illegal immigrants crossing the border: those whom Border Patrol catches and those who catch Border Patrol. [...] A group of nearly 300 Central Americans recently turned themselves in to American officials, he says. "Next week 300 is going to be nothing," Spratte says. "It'll be 500 or 400 until they make the decision to start enforcing our immigration laws and deporting people." Feds shelve plan to fly migrants to California. Federal authorities announced they had canceled their plan to fly nearly 300 Central American immigrants to Southern California from Texas, but left the door the open to the possibility that the plan could be reinstated. Border Patrol spokesman Ralph DeSio told the Associated Press Sunday [6/22/2014] that he didn't know why the flights had been canceled, and described the planning as being "in a very fluid state." New England mayors call for refugee resettlement freeze. The mayor of Springfield, Massachusetts has asked the federal government for a moratorium on sending refugees to the city, claiming that newly arrived families create a strain on city resources and the school system and do not receive sufficient aid from resettlement agencies. [...] Springfield is the third-largest city in Massachusetts, with a population of 153,000. The refugee population in Springfield is estimated to be 1,500 — roughly 1 percent of the total. According to the 2010 census, 26.8 percent of the population lived below the poverty line. Feds to Fly Hundreds of Migrants to California. The Border Patrol will fly nearly 300 Central American migrants from south Texas to California for processing, an official said Saturday [6/21/2014], as the government seeks to ease the workload on agents at the nation's busiest corridor for illegal crossings. Where does the White House come up with this kind of money? Texas Border Crisis to be Complicated by Militia. Militia groups in Texas and across the nation are responding to the Texas Border Surge announced Wednesday night by the offices of the Governor, Lt. Governor and Texas House Speaker. An announcement was made on several new media outlets including Facebook. The alert to the civilian militia groups, which includes many groups who showed up at the Clive Bundy ranch in Nevada, calls on all able bodied militia members to converge on the Laredo sector of the Texas/Mexico border. Border Insecurity: Arizona Ranchers Frustrated Over Smugglers, Crime. On a steep and rugged road along the U.S. border, Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels pointed to a well-worn foot trail leading from Mexico into Arizona. It's a path, he said, that is frequently used by smugglers to ferry immigrants and drugs into the United States. Dannels noted that the international border fence there, which stands only a few feet tall, is clearly no deterrent to traffickers who in recent years, he said, have become more aggressive and dangerous to anyone standing in their way. Thousands of Immigrants Stuck in Mexico Stash Houses Just Outside US. Thousands of illegal immigrants — most of whom are from Central America — continue to cross the U.S.-Mexico border each day, but there are many who never complete the dangerous journey north because they run out of money. The trip from Central America can be a life-threatening one, but rumors of "amnesty" have only caused more immigrants to make it to the U.S. at any cost. Here's a positive development — which means it is unlikely that Obama & Co. is behind it: Border agency's watchdog under investigation for coverup. The internal affairs division of U.S. Customs and Border Protection is being investigated for falsifying documents, intentionally misplacing employee complaints and bungling misconduct reports as part of a coverup to mask its failure to curb employee wrongdoing, a McClatchy investigation has found. The inquiry of the nation's largest federal law enforcement agency also involves a much broader array of allegations, including an inner-office sexual relationship between two high-ranking officials, who themselves sometimes oversee investigations of similar illicit affairs. Obama Officials Refuse To Provide Data About Flood of Illegals. White House officials won't say how many of the illegal immigrants now flooding up from Central America have been given a courtroom date to ask for green cards. "I will take a look and see if those numbers are available," White House Josh Earnest told frustrated reporters at the Friday White House press conference. Earnest's evasion came after multiple questions from Fox News' Ed Henry and NBC's Jim Avila. Gop Mega-Donor Sheldon Adelson: Amnesty, Driver's Licenses, Bank Accounts For Illegals. Las Vegas hotel magnate and prominent GOP donor Sheldon Adelson believes all of the country's illegal immigrants should be put on a path to citizenship and given driver's licenses and bank accounts while on that path. A post-election poll showed that former House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) was ousted because of his support for amnesty legislation, but Adelson said he hoped that would not derail it. Pelosi: Boehner Using Word 'Alien'. to Describe Illegals is 'Reprehensible' Angry Virginia Residents Say 'No' to Obama Administration's Plan to House Illegals. Over 1,000 angry residents of the small, rural town here gathered at Brunswick High School on Thursday and reamed out local, state, and federal government officials for offering the St. Paul's College building as temporary emergency shelter for 500 unaccompanied alien children (UACs) coming from Texas. St. Paul's, a historically black college, shut down five years ago after losing its accreditation. Boehner to Obama: Send National Guard to the Southern Border. House Speaker John Boehner is asking President Obama to send the National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border, to relieve the U.S. Border Patrol as it deals with an unprecedented influx of children and families — tens of thousands since October, many from Central America. Our country is facing a national security and humanitarian crisis along our southern border," House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) wrote to the president on Friday. "The policies of your administration have directly resulted in the belief by these immigrants that once they reach U.S. soil, they will be able to stay here indefinitely. 'Unlawful Migration'. The White House is now using the phrase "unlawful migration" instead of the more commonly heard phrase "illegal immigration." The new term is used in a readout of a phone call President Obama had yesterday with President Peña Nieto of Mexico. [...] It appears the White House has only used the phrase one other time, in a joint statement between the United States and China. What does "top legislative priority" mean in the Executive Branch? Illegal Immigrant 'Rights' Group Mad At Sheriff Joe For Enforcing Law. The illegal immigration "debate" has so many upside down components that it is almost a full time job cataloging them. The most glaring, however, are the push by eager-to-pander politicians on both sides of the aisle to remove the word "illegal" from all discussions and calm entertaining by so many of the idea that enforcing laws on the books is a bad thing. Rupert Murdock: Amnesty, Unlimited High-Tech Visas "Can't Wait". A day after dining with President Barack Obama's top adviser Valerie Jarrett, Murdoch, the Chairman of the group that owns Fox News and the Wall Street Journal, pushed for amnesty and an unlimited number of high-tech guest-worker visas in a Wednesday op-ed in the Journal. Murdoch said his "heart sank" when he learned that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) was ousted last week in a primary election that was widely viewed as a referendum against amnesty legislation. Also posted under What's the rush? Liberal's Solution To Border Crisis: Let Illegals Become 'State Citizens'. Breitbart Texas reported on a proposed bill in New York that would allow more than 2 million illegal immigrants to get a myriad of benefits including voting rights, the ability to run for office, Medicaid, drivers licenses, and in-state tuition by allowing them to become "state citizens." A sponsor of that bill, State Senator Gustavo Rivera (D-Bronx), told Breitbart Texas he thinks states in the Southwest should consider similar legislation to deal with the border crisis involving thousands of Central Americans entering the country illegally. Breaking: Texas-Led Border Security Surge 'Imminent'. Texas Governor Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, and Speaker Joe Straus today directed the Texas Dept. of Public Safety (DPS) to immediately begin law enforcement surge operations on the Texas/Mexico border. The DPS will attempt to combat the flood of illegal immigration into the state in the absence of adequate federal resources to secure the border. O'Reilly: Immigration Crisis Could Damage Entire Infrastructure of America. In tonight's [6/17/2014] Talking Points Memo, Bill O'Reilly remarked on a New York Times story that said humanitarian aid should be given to about 50,000 kids who have illegally entered the United States since last fall, plus the hundreds more who come in each day. O'Reilly said that liberal America is trying to convince us that poor immigrants are freeing economic oppression. While accepting poor people who are fleeing chaotic governments is a hallmark of America, O'Reilly said, "The harsh reality is we cannot support all the world's poor, it is impossible." Hundreds of armed Mexican officers crossing US border, despite Marine stuck in jail. More than 500 armed Mexican military and law enforcement personnel have crossed the U.S. border without permission over the past decade, raising questions over why a U.S. Marine remains jailed in Mexico for a similar offense. The startling figures were provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, in a letter to Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif. CBP Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske reported that roughly 525 armed Mexican soldiers and police jumped the border since 2004, in 152 separate incidents. New York Dem: Illegals Should Have The Right To Vote. New York state Sen. Guestavo Rivera wants to pass legislation to give illegal immigrants the right to vote in local and state elections, Reuters reports. In terms of the broad benefits available to non-citizens, this bill is the first of its kind in America. The main objective of the New York Is Home Act, according to Rivera, is to integrate illegal immigrants, who are estranged from participation in civic, economic and political life. The legislation not only gives illegal immigrants the right to vote, but establishes a kind of second-tiered citizenship on a state level, in which illegal immigrants can apply for tuition assistance, health insurance and driver's and professional licenses, among other benefits. DHS: Mexican Military, Police Made 300 Illegal Border Incursions Into U.S. Since 2004. Mexican military and law enforcement have made 300 unauthorized border incursions into the United States since 2004, the Department of Homeland Security revealed to California Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter Tuesday. [...] In a response letter obtained by Breitbart News, Gil Kerlikowske, the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, told Hunter that of the 300 unauthorized incursions since Jan. 1, 2004, there were 152 incidents involving a total of about 525 armed subjects. Amnesty Lost Big In Cantor's Defeat. Elections have consequences, and the stunning defeat of the heir apparent for leadership of the Republican Party, Eric Cantor, continues to reverberate throughout the political world. Completely caught off guard by this spectacular upset, the liberal media are scrambling to try to spin the story as something other than what it obviously was. The message of the voters to Eric Cantor and the entire Nation was this: "no amnesty." Undocumented fight for in-state tuition. They just earned diplomas at North Carolina high schools, but it's proving much harder to get to the next level. A group of young un-documented immigrants hit the halls at the North Carolina General Assembly Tuesday, fighting for in-state college tuition — despite the fact they were brought to the US illegally by their parents. The Editor says... TX Lawmakers Say Special Session May Be Needed To Secure Border. State Rep. Debbie Riddle (R-Tomball) says that the surge of illegal immigrants along the Rio Grande Valley has passed crisis levels, with over 100,000 expected to be captured this year. Contrary to Media Narrative, 95% of Illegal Immigrants Say They Came for New Amnesty Promise. [Scroll down] Of course, this won't be reported by the mainstream media, which has so much invested in advancing the aims of the Obama administration. The American people will be told that pushing "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" will solve the crisis. Instead, the bitter reality is that if these illegals are rewarded with a "path to citizenship," it will only encourage many more to make the long, dangerous trek to our borders. Has the Dept. of Homeland Security become America's standing army? On orders from the DHS, the government's efforts along the border have become little more than an exercise in police state power, ranging from aggressive checkpoints to the widespread use of drone technology, often used against American citizens traveling within the country. Border patrol operations occur within 100 miles of an international crossing, putting some 200 million Americans within the bounds of aggressive border patrol searches and seizures, as well as increasingly expansive drone surveillance. Rep. Price: Obama 'Deceitful' on Border Security. President Obama was "being deceitful" when he told the American people in 2011 that the U.S. border is secure, Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) told "Fox News Sunday." "The American people understand and appreciate, given the events over the past couple of weeks, that the president was being deceitful with the American people on this. There's a human tragedy going on the Southern border right now, and the president's doing nothing. What did he do this weekend to correct that? He gave a hyper-partisan commencement speech and then went and played golf. 'Wave of humanity': Border Patrol overwhelmed by flow of illegal immigrants. At daybreak in this border town, two women from Guatemala — one with a small child strapped to her back — wait patiently on the levee overlooking the Rio Grande. They have been instructed by the "coyote" who ferried them across the river for an exorbitant fee — as much as $1,000 — to simply wait for the Border Patrol to pick them up. After processing, they will likely be given a notice to appear before an immigration judge and a bus ticket to wherever in America they may have friends or relatives. The Editor says... Citizensip for sale: Obama Dispatches Biden To Stop Wave Of Illegals At Texas. President Barack Obama is sending Vice President Joe Biden to deal with the rising flood of poor Central American immigrants now flowing into Texas. Biden will fly into Guatemala June 20, to meet with the presidents of Guatemala and El Salvador, plus a top official from Honduras, and to tell the 28 million people in those countries that they can't migrate to the United States, a White House official said Sunday [6/15/2014]. But the trip is merely for show, said one Hill aide. Open Borders: Entrenching the Fundamental Transformation of a Dying Nation. The United States as we have known it is dying. Its death is at the hands of politicians and it is being done so cleverly, with the help of a compliant and far-left media, that the people don't even know it's happening. Mr. Obama is overloading the system with crises and we cannot handle them. This opens the way for Mr. Obama to use his pen and phone to solve them. He will solve it as Marxists solve problems and he will do so as incompetently as he has done in the past. There is no reason to believe he will suddenly become competent. Mr. Obama isn't doing it alone. He has help from his hand-picked staff and an obsequious Congress that cares nothing for their own authority under the Constitution. We will soon see the end of the United States as a free nation as a result. Obama is Going Thelma and Louise. "I believe the president has, within existing law, the power to take action to protect the immigrant community, and I think he will take those actions." [Congressman Luis] Gutierrez declared. There are three very interesting points in that brief sentence. The first is the odd notion that this president cares a whit about whether or not anything he does is within the law. He has not shown any hesitation to violate or interpret laws as he sees fit from day to day. Another curious proposition is that the immigrant community either needs or deserves "protection" in the form of amnesty in order to insulate them from the results of illegal acts. Apparently American citizens and legal immigrants do not merit protection from the results of those acts. The most troubling suggestion, however, is the one most likely to occur. The president, probably will "take those actions." Rand Paul: Let's Compromise On Amnesty. [Senator Rand] Paul, a potential 2016 contender, reportedly said that "amnesty is a word that's trapped us," and, according to CNN, emphasized, "If you want immigration reform, there has to be openness to compromise." Earlier on Wednesday [6/11/2014], talk radio host Rush Limbaugh declared that when politicians in Washington say "immigration reform" what they really mean is "amnesty." Obama's Inhumane Retribution Against Jan Brewer. The image of Brewer squaring off face-to-face with Obama on the tarmac has been recorded as one of the boldest acts of the governor. That, of course, didn't sit well with Obama. And it just so happens that now thousands of Central American illegal immigrants have been flown and bussed from Texas into Phoenix by Department of Homeland Security in what I deem to be an act of retribution against Gov. Brewer for publicly setting Obama straight. Secure the Border. I am for immigration reform because I am against allowing 12 million more illegal immigrants into our country. If we do nothing, 12 million more illegal immigrants will come. We must be in favor of reform — smart reform that starts with border security. Characterizing that position as "amnesty" is simply untrue. What we have now is a lawless border. Current policy is a beacon for more illegal immigrants. The Obama administration's lawless executive orders legalizing people who came here illegally will only encourage more illegal immigration — unless we act now with real, strong, verifiable border security. View from the Border. I received the following e-mail from a Texas state official who recently toured the border area where the mass crossings are taking place. This is an excerpt from his note [...] Surge in illegals immigrants blamed on U.S. policy, not spiking violence. Illegal immigrants from Central America are surging across the U.S.-Mexico border because they believe they can take advantage of American immigration policy and gain at least a tentative foothold in the country, according to an internal Border Patrol intelligence memo. The immigrants come seeking "permisos," which apparently are the "notices to appear," the legal documents given to non-Mexicans caught at the border, according to the memo, which was viewed by The Washington Times and raised several times Wednesday [6/11/2014] at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Border Sheriff Likens Influx Of Illegal Immigrants To Hurricane Katrina. Officials say that nearly a thousand illegal immigrants a day are crossing into Texas from Mexico, an anomaly that is now being compared to Hurricane Katrina. "How do you prepare for that?" says Don Ray, the Executive Director of the Texas Border Sheriffs Coalition. "You can't have an influx of people like that without having an impact; I think we saw that after Katrina. It's relocation services that are really taking place. In the case of Katrina, most of them were United States citizens or people that were here lawfully, and now you have people that aren't here lawfully." Limbaugh: House Could Still Push Amnesty, Cantor Has 'Nothing to Lose'. Conventional wisdom today [6/11/2014] dictates Eric Cantor's devastating primary loss means immigration reform is dead, but Rush Limbaugh isn't so sure. [...] Limbaugh charged that Cantor was serving his donors and President Obama more than his constituents, because he's part of that brand of Republican that won't dare "be confrontational" with Obama. But Limbaugh predicted that Cantor is likely so angry, he could very well push for the very thing that got him pushed out of office. Current Illegal Immigration "Crisis" is a Classic Case of "Cloward-Piven". This current crisis is completely manufactured by Obama and his comrades — by opening the borders and refusing to prosecute illegals which sent the signal to people wanting to come here illegaly that now was the time. [...] In this case, Obama and his comrades are hoping to make the illegal immigrant crisis so bad that (after the leftist dominated mass media pushes the "humanitarian crisis" aspect of the mess) Congress will have no choice but to pass amnesty. Crisis Leaves 'Vast Swaths' Of Border Unprotected, Cartels 'In Control'. The massive influx of adults and minors crossing into the U.S. from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador has brought the Customs and Border Protection agency (CPB) past its capacity to provide security at the U.S./Mexico border, according to the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC). [...] "Mexican cartels are exploiting this crisis to get their shipments through. They know our schedules, our shifts, our manpower, and how we react to these situations," said [NBPC] Vice President [Shawn] Moran. Chaos erupts at Cantor election night headquarters after his departure. In the room of downcast Cantor allies, a new energy suddenly erupted — but not the kind they wanted on election night. A group of immigration activists stormed the ballroom, screaming and waving a flag. "What do we want? Immigration reform! When do we want it? Now!" A few Cantor supporters tried to block the protesters' entrance into the ballroom, and pushing and shoving ensued. Gutierrez: Obama to Unilaterally Enact Amnesty After Cantor Loss. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), perhaps the most outspoken amnesty proponent in Congress, said the stunning defeat of Majority Leader Eric Cantor in the primary Tuesday [6/10/2014] is no impediment to President Obama moving forward with immigration unilaterally. "When people say there'll be no action on immigration, watch the White House," Gutierrez said in a brief interview with Breitbart News. Military Bases: Obama's New Illegal Alien Dumping Grounds. A source tipped me off last week to a curious occurrence: It seems that two planeloads of illegal aliens were recently shipped to Massachusetts. The first reportedly landed at Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford. According to my tipster, approximately 160 illegal immigrants arrived on that flight and stayed nearly a week before being transferred to a Department of Homeland Security site and then released. The second flight reportedly was diverted from Hanscom to Boston's Logan Airport this past weekend. [...] How many other military bases are stealthily being used to redistribute, house, process and release illegal border crossers? Child Alien Crisis Obama's Fault, But GOP Won't Pounce. What is at the top of the Republican wish list? A vibrant economy? An America strong and respected in the world? Capturing the Senate? A Republican elected to the White House in 2016? Nah. The GOP wants amnesty for illegal aliens. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., made that abundantly clear in an interview with a local Virginia TV station WTVR last Friday [6/6/2014]. He said he told President Obama that "we can work on the border security bill together. We can work on something like the kids." And Breitbart reports that Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., is secretly gauging House GOP support for action on amnesty legislation before August. Reporters Revolt As Obama Officials Stonewall On Aliens Released From Custody. With illegal immigrants streaming across the southern border, senior Obama administration officials couldn't provide reporters specific information about how many have been released from custody into the U.S. on a conference call with reporters Monday [6/9/2014], prompting frustration from the 4th Estate. The call was on "background," which means that the government officials providing the information can be quoted, but not by name, a fact that didn't sit well with the first questioner. Ted Cruz: 'Obama's Lawlessness' Responsible For Spike In Illegal Immigration. A sharp spike in illegal immigration has caused facilities and resources along the U.S.-Mexico border to become overwhelmed. As a result, U.S. Border Patrol has been releasing thousands of illegal immigrants onto U.S. soil each week. Some released immigrants are even criminals — as Breitbart Texas previously reported, more than 36,000 convicted criminal illegal aliens were released by U.S. authorities in 2013 alone. Texas Senator Ted Cruz told Breitbart Texas that this "humanitarian crisis" is a "direct consequence" of the Obama Administration's actions and rhetoric surrounding illegal immigration. Latin American Media Tell Poor Indigents to Rush to U.S. While Obama's in Office. There's a major refugee crisis unfolding on our southern border. Let me repeat: a refugee crisis. A countless number of poor indigents from Central America are now flooding into America. They hope to gain amnesty and a path to citizenship under President Obama's unlawful edicts; he has enacted a de facto DREAM Act even though Congress refused to pass such a law. Obama Renews Work Permits For 520,000 Illegals. President Barack Obama is renewing his two-year amnesty for at least 550,000 younger illegal immigrants, and is rolling back education requirements and anti-fraud measures. "Obama's extension of his unilaterally-created immigration program not only violates his constitutional duty to enforce the law, but the changes he made to it proactively invite fraud and abuse," said a June 5 statement by Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the chairman of the House judiciary committee. Feds say no end in sight for policy of 'dumping' illegal immigrants in Arizona. Federal officials told [Arizona Gov. Jan] Brewer Friday [6/6/2014] that the practice will continue for the foreseeable future, and this weekend more than 1,000 illegal immigrant children will be "dumped" in Arizona. Adults and family units will also arrive, though Brewer was not told how many, her office said. Reports first surfaced last week that scores of illegal immigrants in Texas were being flown, bused and then abandoned out of state in Arizona and elsewhere. Border Patrol Sector to Release 500 Illegal Aliens Per Week into US. The specifics of how the illegal aliens are transported in unclear at this time, however, recently some have been flown at the tax-payers expense and some have been transported on buses. Officials Under Fire For Dumping Illegal Immigrants In U.S.. Scores of illegal immigrants, caught by authorities in Texas trying to sneak into the country via the Rio Grande Valley, are being flown, bused and then abandoned out of state in places like Arizona, New York and Maryland. If the immigrants had been from Mexico, authorities would release them back across the border. But these would-be immigrants come from Central American countries, such as El Salvador and Guatemala, and trying to get them back to their country of origin has been a costly and largely unsuccessful endeavor. White House Policies Invite More Illegal Immigration. There are plenty of reasons for this migration wave — from the violence of the drug war in Central America to the leftist governments of the region, notably in El Salvador, that ensure low economic growth. But there's a magnet effect coming from White House policymaking that's also pulling them north. President Obama has talked up the DREAM Act of amnesty for young illegals and browbeaten Congress to pass it, using executive orders when it didn't. He's also let it be known he's not enforcing U.S. deportation laws. Now we have a full-blown refugee crisis. They're convinced that amnesty is theirs if they just reach U.S. soil. Lawmakers Call on DHS to Block Immigration Enforcement at Courthouses. Fifty-nine members of Congress, led by Wisconsin Democratic Rep. Gwen Moore, are calling on Department of Homeland Security Sec. Jeh Johnson to halt immigration enforcement actions at courthouses. "We ask that DHS issue new department-wide guidance that ensures that courts — like schools, hospitals, places of worship — are safe places that can be accessed by all people," the House members wrote in a letter to Johnson Wednesday. "No one should be afraid of going to court to seek essential services and protection from the court." The Editor asks... Courthouses should be immigration enforcement-free zones: DHS chief Johnson. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Thursday [5/29/2014] that he will not scrap a program that scours prisons and jails for illegal immigrants to deport, but did promise adjustments to make it more palatable to mayors and governors who have balked at cooperating with the Secure Communities program. Mr. Johnson said he will try to work with "sanctuary" cities and states to assuage their concerns. The approach is starkly different from the one the administration took with Arizona, in which the Justice Department sued to halt the state's stricter enforcement law. DHS Secretary Sees 'Legal Ambiguity' in Status of Illegal Aliens. "We have to accept the fact that we have 11.5 million undocumented immigrants in this country," Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson told the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday [5/29/2014]. "We have to deal with that. I don't think we should allow them to exist in a state of legal ambiguity or in a dark hole." Johnson noted that some states now issue drivers' licenses to undocumented immigrants, and he also mentioned that they can practice law in California. "So they're not going away. They're not going to self-deport. I would rather see us reckon with this population than continue in the state of legal ambiguity we're in right now." The Editor says... Obama Has Failed The Border States. Is It Time To Form Posses To Battle Drug Cartels? Mexican narco-terrorist cartels armed by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and (Free) Firearms are pouring north across a border that the Obama Administration refuses to secure, and are now boldly threatening American law enforcement officers with death if they dare stand in the way of the cartel surging into Texas: [...] While the federal government under Barack Obama is refusing to combat the cartels — which are, after all, heavily armed by firearms that the ATF provided and the DOJ refuses to account for — local police seem to be left largely on their own in the border regions to defend the citizenry as cartels surge across an undefended southern border. Interestingly enough, Dave Kopel provides the constitutional mechanism to supply the manpower to turn back this tide with or without the support of a corrupt and feckless federal government, in the use of the modern posse comitatus. More Hispanics Declaring Themselves White. Hispanics are often described as driving up the nonwhite share of the population. But a new study of census forms finds that more Hispanics are identifying as white. An estimated net 1.2 million Americans of the 35 million Americans identified in 2000 as of "Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin," as the census form puts it, changed their race from "some other race" to "white" between the 2000 and 2010 censuses, according to research presented at an annual meeting of the Population Association of America and reported by Pew Research. While we're at it, let's stop 'villainizing' robbers. Like illegals, bank robbers distrust the police. But stick-up men are our neighbors, and they too are DREAMERS. They dream of pulling off the perfect heist, when their masks don't fall off, and no tellers hit the silent alarm, and no red-dye packs go off in their bag of loot. Mayor Curtatone says that these archaic laws are "tearing families apart and discouraging cooperation with the police." So true. [...] We must strive to understand these bank-robbing DREAMERS. A machine gun is part of their culture, like drunken driving in certain other groups that have recently come here to vacation. No 'fresh start' needed. The Obama administration is once again hinting that it may abandon — bend, break, you pick the verb — yet another immigration law in its continuing effort to pander to its political base. [...] Under the program — implemented here but continually under fire from civil libertarians and our governor — anyone arrested and booked for a local or state crime has his fingerprints run through a federal database for immigration violations. Officials from Immigration and Customs Enforcement can then ask local law enforcement to detain the violator. Now this doesn't seem a particularly complicated issue in need of a "fresh start." Nor is it some kind of roundup of the undocumented. We're talking about people who are already in police custody. Sessions Updates Catalogue of Obama Administration Immigration Non-Enforcement. In the wake of hints from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson that the Obama administration is looking to reduce deportations by making changes to the Secure Communities program, the office of Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions released an update to their catalog of the Obama administration's moves "to dismantle immigration enforcement." The Alabama immigration hawk's 17-page timeline begins in early 2009 with the administration's announcement that that it is "not doing raids or audits" of workplaces potentially employing illegal immigrants. The timeline ends this week on May 12, 2014 with an internal ICE document revealing that last year ICE released more than 36,007 criminal immigrants convicted of nearly 88,000 crimes. America's Never-ending Shame: Importing Inequality. Americans must feel ashamed forever for the wicked inequalities that we maintain, especially racial inequalities. As if to fuel that shame, we are rapidly importing economically poor, poorly educated, low-skilled immigrants: the building blocks of more inequality, and more mandatory guilt. These challenges are intensified because assimilation is almost nonexistent while multiculturalism essentially guarantees that immigrants maintain historical grievances and loyalties to a home nation other than America. These historical grievances, especially the notion that America stole the southwest from Mexico, have frozen the melting pot. Release of 36,000 Criminal Immigrants Shows 'Government Doesn't Control Our Borders'. The revelation that Immigration and Customs Enforcement released more then 36,000 criminal aliens is indicative of the ineffectiveness of current immigration enforcement, a spokesman for California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa told Breitbart News. "This data reinforces what we have known for some time: our government doesn't control our borders and doesn't effectively deal with repeat offender criminal aliens who find themselves in the hands of law enforcement," Issa's spokesman wrote in an email to Breitbart Wednesday [5/14/2014]. Hillary Clinton and the release of thousands of criminal aliens. In effect, the administration has, as Bill Otis puts it, "unleashed its own crime wave." But who within the administration was responsible for this for wanton indifference to public safety? One responsible party is Hillary Clinton. [...] [F]ederal law requires the secretary of state to stop issuing visas to the citizens of any country that refuses to take back its nationals. Refusing to issue visas to citizens of a foreign country would provide a powerful incentive for that country to take back its nationals and thus create a significant likelihood of removal in the foreseeable future. This, in turn, would enable the U.S. to avoid releasing criminal aliens onto our streets. Conservatives Need to Fix the Broken U.S. Immigration System. The U.S. immigration system is flawed and broken. Conservatives should be at the forefront of reform so the law reflects the just interests of the United States, not misty-eyed ideals of some of the liberal do-gooder reformers. What is good for America should be the sole criteria for immigration reform. Our laws today are unenforced and citizens and companies who play by the rules are undermined by bad actors who do not. Business Execs: Amnesty Legislation Will Be Last Act Of Lame-Duck Session. Two of the most prominent CEOs that have been lobbying Congress for immigration reform and amnesty legislation indicated on Monday this Congress's final act could be passing sweeping amnesty legislation in the lame-duck session. ICE data: 36,000 illegals with criminal convictions were released during deportation proceedings. A preemptive strike on DHS from the Center for Immigration Studies, designed to make Obama's upcoming "relaxation" of U.S. deportation procedures as politically painful as possible. He's desperate to pander to his base, which is impatient after waiting more than five years for amnesty and has now convinced itself based on cooked numbers that he's some sort of crazed border hawk. That's where the "relaxation" comes in — and that's the beauty of CIS's otherwise grim data, which shows just how relaxed the system already is. Activists Block Border Patrol From Locating Potential Illegal Immigrants. Volunteers with the border advocacy group No More Deaths allegedly prevented Border Patrol agents from locating potential illegal immigrants. Activists have consistently resisted Border Patrols' attempts to search a large camp outside of Arivaca, Arizona, where illegal aliens and drug smugglers or dangerous individuals may regularly receive medical help. GOP Suicide Watch. This week, the House Armed Services Committee is poised to set in train a legislative process that could well translate into the suicide of the Republican Party. The committee will consider — and, all other things being equal, may actually adopt — a controversial amendment to be offered by Rep. Mike Coffman of Colorado to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). It would allow illegal aliens brought here as minors — so-called "Dreamers" — to serve in the U.S. military and, thereby, obtain American citizenship. [...] So, if Eric Cantor, Mike Coffman, Speaker John Boehner and other like-minded Republicans actually succeed in transforming the annual National Defense Authorization Bill into a vehicle for conferring an amnesty on illegal aliens, they will not only wind up harming the U.S. military and the nation as a whole. They risk achieving in the process the astonishing feat of political suicide for their party. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel Announces City Jobs, Internships Will Go To Illegal Aliens. In a recent proclamation, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced that he intends to give city jobs and internships to so-called "DREAMers," youngsters in the country illegally. In the announcement, Emanuel proudly stated that "for the first time" Chicago is "opening up nearly 23,000 City-funded internship, volunteer, and job opportunities for undocumented students, or 'DREAMers.'" Illegals Visit Capitol Hill, Demand Amnesty Through Executive Orders. To mark May Day last week, Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) invited people who are in the country illegally to Capitol Hill where they released a list of executive orders they believe President Barack Obama should put in place, including stopping all deportations and bringing back deportees who have family here. At the event, held in the Canon Office Building, seven people who are part of a "Blue Ribbon Commission" — six illegal aliens and an immigration attorney — that released a list of 14 things Obama could do (according to legal scholars they consulted with) to provide amnesty to millions without congressional approval. The Editor says... Dem Lawmaker: Obama Planning 'Broader, Bolder Action' On Immigration Unless Republicans Act. Illinois Democratic congressman Luis Gutierrez warned that "unless Republicans act" on comprehensive immigration reform, President Obama will take "broader, bolder action" to curb the deportation of illegal immigrants without changing the law through Congress. Gutierrez spoke to MSNBC's Ronan Farrow on Wednesday afternoon about their agreement that comprehensive immigration reform — which may or may not include amnesty for illegal immigrants — should make it through the U.S. Congress this summer. The Illinois congressman claimed that even with strong opposition from parts of the Republican Party, he's confident reform will pass. But even if it doesn't, Gutierrez promised immigration activists they won't be disappointed. Biden retreats: Illegal immigrants aren't 'citizens'. Vice President Joseph R. Biden on Monday backed away from his claim earlier this year that illegal immigrants "are already American citizens," saying that while he acknowledges they aren't actually citizens, they are still Americans. The Editor says... Conservative activists fight back on immigration. Activists opposed to immigration reform are urging congressional candidates to sign a pledge that they won't vote for immigration reform. The move apparently began on Laura Ingrham's national radio show and is being pushed by Tea Party groups all across the country. Virginia attorney general declares 'dreamers' eligible for in-state tuition. Virginia Attorney General Mark R. Herring thrust himself and his state back into the national spotlight Tuesday [4/29/2014] by announcing that some illegal immigrants who were brought to this country as children can qualify for in-state college tuition under existing law. Herring made the announcement at Northern Virginia Community College's Alexandria campus just a few months after the legislature declined to enact the idea and on the heels of another brazen legal move in January, when he declared that the state's ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional. Amnesty, American Values, and Economic Dependency. Preying on our sympathy, kindness, and generosity to foreign nations, we are being guilted and forced to be generous with lawbreakers by awarding them citizenship because they jumped a fence, swam across a river, or walked through the hot desert, putting their lives in peril, defying and disrespecting our borders and our laws. This amnesty is forced on the American people at a time when we can ill-afford to be generous, with millions of Americans unemployed, underemployed, and on welfare, facing the fundamental destruction of our healthcare. The Editor says... Virginia now a DREAMer, gay marriage state. Virginia, once Republican red, then purple in President Obama's elections, is turning Democratic blue under new Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Attorney General Mark R. Herring, who, with the snap of his fingers Tuesday [4/29/2014], declared that the children of illegal immigrants can qualify for in-state tuition. His decision follows another opposed by Republicans in Richmond that gay marriage isn't banned under current law. Herring's action was heralded by McAuliffe, who is trying hard to bring Obamacare to the Old Dominion. Desert Rescue Beacons Let Immigrants Call for Help. The [U.S. Border Patrol] unveiled its plans Wednesday [4/30/2014] for dealing with the problem of immigrants dying in the desert, including 10 new beacons that allow migrants to call for help at the push of a red button. Florida Senate Clears Way for DREAM Act. The Republican-controlled Florida Senate on Thursday passed Florida's version of the DREAM Act, which would give in-state tuition rates to illegal immigrants who have completed at least three years of school in Florida. The bill, which passed 26-13, will go to the House on Friday, where it is expected to pass before going to Florida Gov. Rick Scott's desk. Scott has said that he would sign the bill. Senators Denounce Obama for Threatening 'Entire Constitutional System' By 'Nullifying' Immigration Laws. On Thursday [4/24/2014], 22 Republican senators, including even Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), denounced President Barack Obama in a scathing letter for threatening America's "entire constitutional system" with his immigration "enforcement review" that threatens to "nullify" the nation's immigration laws. "Your actions demonstrate an astonishing disregard for the Constitution, the rule of law, and the rights of American citizens and legal residents," the senators wrote in a letter to Obama. "Our entire constitutional system is threatened when the Executive Branch suspends the law at its whim and our nation's sovereignty is imperiled when the commander-in-chief refuses to defend the integrity of its borders." Obama administration may unveil new deportation policy in two stages. The White House is considering small steps in the near term to ease the threat of deportation for some undocumented immigrants, but advocates in communication with the administration expect President Barack Obama to make bigger changes later in the year. The Editor says... John McCain: Not Granting Amnesty 'A Stain on America's Honor'. Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who co-wrote the Senate's amnesty legislation and has been trying for more than a decade to pass comprehensive immigration reform, believes not granting amnesty to all of the country's illegal immigrants is a "stain on America's honor." Speaking at Harvard University's Institute of Politics on Wednesday [4/23/2014], McCain said the country currently has "de facto amnesty" because there are "not enough buses" to deport all of the country's illegal immigrants. McCain says illegal immigrants are 'not going home'. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Wednesday [4/23/2014] that immigrants living in the United States illegally are not going home, and that the U.S. has no practical way of forcing them to leave. "They're not going home. And so why don't we give them a path to citizenship," McCain asked at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy Jr. forum. "There are not enough buses to deport them," he added. "It's de facto amnesty." Left Begins Effort to Publicize Gaps in Border Fence. A coalition of investigative journalists to include the Center for Investigative Reporting (CIR) recently announced a public project to map border infrastructure used to hopefully minimize unlawful crossing and other illegal activities. While the effort is understandably time-consuming and leads to frustration when clearly seeing much of the border unfenced — security experts argue the key is proper placement, rather than blanket coverage with infrastructure. Obama administration planning fixes to immigration law in coming weeks. House Democrats, who are stepping up the pressure on Republicans to take up comprehensive immigration reform legislation, said Tuesday the Obama administration is getting ready to take executive action on the matter very soon. Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson earlier this month told House Democrats he'll take action in the next few weeks on "fixes" to immigration law, most likely dealing with deportation. Obama does whatever it takes to make deportations
more difficult. Study finds more immigrants equals more Democrats — and more losses for GOP. Republicans are famously divided on immigration reform, but Democrats pretty much unanimously support it. There's a reason for that. In stark, partisan political terms, continuing the high level of immigration of recent decades, and certainly increasing immigration as envisioned by many reformers, will result in more Democrats winning more elections in coming years. Lax Immigration Enforcement Exerts Magnetic Pull. Last year ICE reportedly released 68,000 criminal aliens into the U.S. population instead of deported them back home, while only one out of seven encounters with illegals was ever prosecuted, according to CNS. "Our law enforcement system is in a state of collapse," warned Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama in the Senate Friday, "and it's a deliberate plan by the president of the United States." Ever since 2010, when President Obama first called for "comprehensive immigration reform," meaning amnesty for 11 million illegal immigrants, and then followed up in 2011 with orders to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to use "prosecutorial discretion" in apprehending illegals, a great wave of immigration has built. Schumer: We'll Have Amnesty in 2014 Thanks to Liberal Republicans. Ever the happy warrior of the left, Sen. Chuck Schumer is not giving up on his pipe dream: amnesty for illegal aliens in 2014. Appearing on MSNBC on Monday, Schumer said he thinks it still can happen this year thanks to a group of liberal Republicans — what he thinks is the majority of Republicans — who will stand by silently, letting amnesty pass while voting against it in the end. Undocumented immigrants as teachers? Long before Alejandro Fuentes Mena became a fifth grade teacher, he was an undocumented immigrant from Chile. "I came to the United States when I was four years old," Fuentes Mena said. In August, he started at the Denver Center for International Studies at Ford Elementary School as part of effort by Denver Public Schools administrators to be the first school district in the nation to actively seek out teachers people who were initially brought to the United States illegally. Homeland Security Chief Vows To Review Ways To Make Deportations More Humane. As frustration over the United States' broken immigration system has focused increasingly on President Obama, Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Wednesday [4/9/2014] that he will make sure that deportation efforts are aimed chiefly at those who pose a danger to public safety and national security. Wall Street Journal: Opponents of Amnesty are Racists. The Wall Street Journal strongly suggested Wednesday [4/9/2014] that opponents of "comprehensive" immigration reform are mere racists, in a slew of commentary prompted by the controversy over former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's remark this week that illegal immigration was an "act of love." Though the Journal editorial page is often quite conservative, it frequently criticizes the Tea Party, and it tends to favor a liberal policy on immigration reform. Cantor's 'Pledge' At Center Of Secretive Immigration Push, Chairman Says. House Armed Services Committee chairman Rep. Buck McKeon (R-CA) said that a promise Majority Leader Eric Cantor made last year is a major force behind the push to grant amnesty to illegal alien DREAMers who enlist in the military. Cantor "made a pledge that he would help" Rep. Jeff Denham (R-CA) enact the proposal, McKeon said at a roundtable on Thursday morning [4/10/2014] in Washington, D.C. As reported last week by Breitbart News, House Republicans had been quietly working working to insert the text of the proposal into an related Defense authorization bill, but after the issue became public McKeon announced he would not include it bill as introduced. Denham, a sophomore Republican who represents California's central valley, has been leading the push for the provision, which he has introduced as a stand-alone bill called the "ENLIST Act." Sen. Sessions: 'Deliberate Plan by President' to Collapse U.S. Law Enforcement System. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) said today that Americans need to stand up to "a deliberate plan by the president of the United States" to collapse the nation's law enforcement system regarding illegal immigration. "Our law enforcement system is in a state of collapse, and it's a deliberate plan by the president of the United States, and it's wrong. And, people need to be aware of it and need to stand up to it and I believe the American people are beginning to do so." Sen. Sessions rebuked U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Vice President Joe Biden for their pro-amnesty efforts: "So, you come into the country illegally and the attorney general of the United States declares that these individuals have a civil right to amnesty. How can this possibly be: the chief law enforcement officer in America?" Democrats squawk as cracks form in immigration coalition. Immigration reform advocates are fond of citing broad support for their cause. But in fact the coalition behind the Senate Gang of Eight comprehensive reform bill is fragile and loosely cobbled together. How could Big Labor and the Chamber of Commerce and the tech world and Big Agriculture all unite behind one bill? Very tentatively. It wouldn't take much to break the coalition apart. And if that happens, the effort to enact comprehensive immigration reform could blow up, not just for the moment, but for some time to come. And there are signs that is exactly what is occurring now. Exclusive: House Republicans' Secret Immigration Ploy. House Republicans are quietly working to insert immigration legislation into the text of the Department of Defense authorization bill that would allow so-called DREAMers to obtain permanent legal residency by joining the military, Breitbart News has learned. The language, which if successful would mark the first effort by House Republicans to provide any form of amnesty since the GOP took control of the House in 2010, has set off a panic among top immigration hawks that the effort could open an immigration Pandora's box, paving the way for broader legislation. High deportation figures are misleading. Expulsions of people who are settled and working in the United States have fallen steadily since his first year in office, and are down more than 40% since 2009. On the other side of the ledger, the number of people deported at or near the border has gone up — primarily as a result of changing who gets counted in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency's deportation statistics. The vast majority of those border crossers would not have been treated as formal deportations under most previous administrations. If all removals were tallied, the total sent back to Mexico each year would have been far higher under those previous administrations than it is now. Report: U.S. Releases 1 in 3 Illegal Immigrants Convicted of Crimes. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), a sharp critic of the administration's immigration policies, was not available for comment to The Foundry. However, in a statement released yesterday regarding ICE's parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Sessions said: "The preponderance of the evidence demonstrates that immigration enforcement in America has collapsed. Even those with criminal convictions are being released. DHS is a department in crisis. Secretary [Jeh] Johnson must reject the president's demands to weaken enforcement further and tell him that his duty, and his officers' duty, is to enforce the law — not break it." Politicized Immigration Policy Frees 68,000 Criminals. A new study from Washington's Center For Immigration Studies (CIS) found that the Obama administration in 2013 released 67,879 illegal aliens who had been convicted of a criminal offense — 35% of the total number of the aliens with criminal convictions encountered by law enforcement. The vast majority, the CIS report said, were due to "the Obama administration's prosecutorial discretion policies, not because the aliens were not deportable." So much for President Obama's claim last June that "today, deportation of criminals is at its highest level ever" because "we focused our enforcement efforts on criminals who are here illegally and who are endangering our communities." Report: Obama Admin Released Tens of Thousands of Illegal Immigrant Criminals. President Obama's Department of Homeland Security caught then released 68,000 aliens who had previously been convicted of a crime, a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies shows. The report, provided to Breitbart News ahead of its late Sunday evening release, reviews internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) metrics to conclude that the Obama administration released 35 percent — or 68,000 — convicted criminal aliens back into the U.S. general population when they could have been deported. Why Not Just Get Rid of the Immigration Law Altogether? The former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, John Sandweg, published an op-ed this week calling, in effect, for the abolition of immigration law. Sandweg, a criminal defense attorney and Arizona crony of Janet Napolitano, wrote in relation to President Obama's directive that ICE reexamine enforcement policies with an eye toward making them more "humane." To that end, he says ICE "should eliminate 'non-criminal re-entrants and immigration fugitives' as a priority category for deportation." Critics warn deportation review could cut 'what little is left' of enforcement. Critics of the Obama administration's deportation policies are concerned that an internal review could lead to deeper cuts of "what little is left" of immigration enforcement. The White House announced earlier this month that Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, at the president's request, would review enforcement policies. The decision came after Johnson, President Obama and White House officials met with immigrant and Latino advocacy groups, many of whom have slammed the administration for being too tough. One has gone so far as to call Obama the "deporter in chief." But a look at the numbers shows deportations under this administration have been limited — Obama's critics would say, gutted. Illegal Immigrants Released into Texas to Ease Over-Crowding of Detention Centers. U.S. Border Patrol agents, in conjunction with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently disclosed the increasing practice of releasing "low threat" illegal immigrant detainees to address the over-crowding of immigration detention centers in south Texas, according to official confirmation of local reports. One south Texas television station, KRGV, recently reported instances of women and minors claiming to have been recently released from immigration officials with "documents that allow [them] to travel anywhere in the United States." Biden: '11 Million Undocumented Aliens Are Already Americans in My View'. Vice President Joe Biden, in a speech to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce's 2014 Legislative Summit, on Thursday [3/27/2014] said the 11 million illegal aliens in the United States "are already Americans." "Eleven million people living in the shadows I believed are already American citizens," Biden said. "These people are just waiting, waiting for a chance to be able to contribute fully, and by that standard, 11 million undocumented aliens are already Americans in my view." A Nation's Attempt to Survive Isn't Racism. In the U.S., the foreign-born population is now estimated to be around 13 percent, and it's rising every year. This poses truly existential problems, particularly since the concept of "melting" into American culture was junked long ago — along with "American" culture. Meanwhile, that overall percentage, a little more than one in 10, masks the greater density and impact of foreign-born populations in the states and cities where immigrants and illegal aliens congregate. [...] What we are looking at is population replacement — and it has taken place well inside the span of one lifetime. Analysis of ICE data: Amnesty is already in effect for nearly all illegals who are already here. The good news is, at least ICE is prioritizing correctly. Illegals who've committed serious criminal offenses are the first out the door, followed by people caught at the border trying to sneak in and those caught inside the U.S. after having been deported before. The other 99.92 percent who are already here are, however, apparently here to stay, unless/until a Republican president sends down the order to restart deportations among that group. Suspect in fatal crash was in country illegally. Aurora police released the name Tuesday of a drunk driver they say ran a red light that killed a teen early Monday morning [3/24/2014. The driver is 40-year-old Ever Olivos-Gutierrez of Aurora. Police say he ran a red light in excess of 80 mph at the intersection of East Colfax Avenue and Dayton Street. Díaz-Balart: Obama May Issue 'Very Controversial Executive Orders' on Immigration. Last week, President Obama directed his Homeland Security Department to examine its current deportation practices — "to see how it can conduct enforcement more humanely, within the confines of the law," the White House announced on March 13. But with immigration reform stalled in Congress, what more can Obama do? "I think he's going to wait until August," said Telemundo anchor and immigration-reform advocate José Díaz-Balart. And if Congress doesn't act on immigration reform by then, "I wouldn't be surprised if he starts making some very controversial executive orders to mitigate the pain of millions of people who face deportation," Díaz-Balart told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Thursday [3/20/2014]. Obama to Hispanics: We won't deport relatives because you enroll in ObamaCare. President Obama on Tuesday [3/18/2014] sought to assure legal immigrants that they can sign up for ObamaCare without worrying that "the immigration people" will come for family members who are in the country illegally. In an interview with Univision Deportes, a Spanish-language sports radio show, Obama said immigration officials won't have access to the personal information that consumers provide when signing up for healthcare on the new exchanges. The Editor says... Obama eyes even less immigration enforcement, seeks to reduce deportation of illegals. President Barack Obama may further reduce the small percentage of illegal immigrants who are sent home each year, say advocates for immigrants and would-be immigrants. Obama "has charged his Secretary of Homeland Security... to reduce where they can the levels of deportation," Janet Murguia, president of the major Latino ethnic lobby group, the National Council of la Raza. "Our hope and expectation is with that [policy change] would come some reduction in the level of deportations," she told reporters gathered outside the White House Friday evening. Top Republican: U.S. needs 1 million more immigrants, not less. A top Republican campaigning for immigration reform is warning that America needs at least 1 million more immigrants every year just for basic farming and construction jobs, not ban like some in the party are advocating. Carlos Gutierrez, Commerce secretary under former President George W. Bush, said that without more immigrants, businesses won't be able to grow because there aren't enough workers available. The Editor says... Border Patrol Shifted $7M From Border Fence to Salaries. As sequestration bore down in February 2013, the threat of furloughs for thousands of government workers was a common refrain from those warning of the dire effects of the across the board budget cuts. [...] As it turned out, DHS did not furlough any personnel, but rather relied on cuts to other areas and shifting funds from other budgets to cover salaries. For instance, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shifted $7 million from its border security fencing account to salaries and expenses. Latest Estimate of Illegal Alien Population Exceeds Unemployed. The Pew Research Center's latest estimate of the number of illegal aliens residing in the United States — 11.7 million as of March 2012 — was less than the approximately 12.5 million people whom the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated were unemployed in the United States in the average month of 2012. However, it exceeds the approximately 11.46 million people whom BLS says were unemployed in the average month of 2013. Schumer Threatens GOP: Pass Amnesty or Obama Will Flout Immigration Laws. A day after President Barack Obama's White House announced that it would be conducting a review to see whether it can flout more immigration laws and be even more lenient with deportations, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) threatened Republicans: pass amnesty or watch Obama curtail deportations. Obama Starts 'New Dialogue' with Hispanic Caucus, Raising Speculation on Executive Order for Immigration. President Obama met with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus in the Oval Office last night to discuss how to move forward on immigration reform, with one caucus member saying afterward that their pleas for executive action were heard. The meeting came after Obama threatened to veto two bills that passed in the House — the ENFORCE the Law Act of 2014, which puts in place a procedure that would expedite the ability of Congress to sue the executive branch for failure to faithfully execute the laws, and the Faithful Execution of the Law Act of 2014, which expands the number of circumstances when the attorney general is required to report non-enforcement of the law to Congress — that Democrats claimed were intended to block Obama from using his executive authority on immigration reform. Obama's Math Game — Fudging The Numbers On Deportations. On more than one occasion, I have been challenged when I make the assertion that President Obama is soft on immigration. He is currently in the process of considering many new changes in the rules of deportation and he is being shouted on by any number of proponents of changing our immigration system. [...] The challenge that has been leveled in my direction basically asks how I can say President Obama is soft on immigration, when he has increased the number of deportations to record levels. [...] As it turns out, it's all in the way you count the numbers. Just change the definition of a couple of terms and how the deportations are counted and you magically have a record level of deportations of illegal immigrants. City to end some police cooperation with immigration officials. "The pernicious impact" of federal immigration enforcement "on certain communities in Philadelphia" is pushing the city to curtail police cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Public Safety Director Michael Resnick said Wednesday [3/12/2014]. At a City Council hearing packed to the balcony benches with immigrant-rights groups, Resnick said Mayor Nutter would soon sign an executive order barring police and prison officials from honoring immigration detainers except when a suspect in custody was previously convicted of a violent felony and ICE obtained a warrant to support the detainer request. An earlier draft, a copy of which The [Philadelphia] Inquirer obtained, would have upheld detainers for people arrested and accused of a violent crime but not yet tried. DHS tells American border guards to run away from illegal immigrants hurling rocks at them, fleeing in vehicles. Top administration officials have directed 21,000 border patrol officers to retreat whenever illegal immigrants throw rocks at them, and to avoid getting in front of foreign drug-smugglers' vehicles as they head north with their drug shipments. "Agents shall not discharge firearms in response to thrown or hurled projectiles... agents should obtain a tactical advantage in these situations, such as seeking cover or distancing themselves," said the instructions, issued Mar. 7, under the signature of Michael Fisher, chief of U.S. Border Patrol. Agents were also directed to keep their weapons holstered when drug smugglers drive by. Agents can't use guns against "a moving vehicle merely fleeing from agents," say the instructions. Rep. Gutierrez on Immigration: Obama 'Should Continue to Expand on His Executive Authority'. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) says President Obama "should continue to expand on his executive authority to stop the deportation of certain groups of immigrants in this country." Gutierrez made the comments during a Wednesday morning [2/12/2014] appearance on C-Span while discussing the future of immigration reform. Increasing Anti-deportation protests show down side of immigration issue for Democrats. Immigrant rights activists, including some self-identified illegal immigrants, were arrested outside the White House on Monday as part of a protest against President Obama's deportation policies, signaling that even as Republicans take blame for halting legalization legislation, Democrats face political peril, too. Mr. Obama was out of town, playing golf in California, so he wasn't at the White House during the protests outside the North Lawn, on the sidewalk along Pennsylvania Avenue. Illegal Aliens vs. Undocumented Immigrants. Simple-minded liberals cite that America was founded on diversity — a nation of immigrants. Who cares? The past is the past, and the future is a result of understanding the problems with the past when projected into the future. The Mexicans and the Swiss make citizenship for foreigners difficult. Why shouldn't we? [...] We have no moral obligation to allow all people to become Americans. They are not undocumented citizens; they are illegal aliens. An undocumented citizen is someone who has lost his papers, not someone who has sneaked into the country. Not an illegal alien. Illegal Immigration and the Catholic Addiction to the Democratic Party. When Catholics look at illegal aliens, they should see that many are not like the Italian, Polish, and Irish Catholics who immigrated legally to the United States centuries ago. The new immigrants are often from non-Western cultures and have no interest in converting to Catholicism. Likewise, many Mexicans who come to the United States illegally have no intention of assimilating or giving up their socialist beliefs for the beliefs of the Catholic Church. Mexicans are not Italians. The failed conversion of Mexico will not lead to a successful conversion of Mexicans in the United States. Immigration and National Survival. Now, what if your family needs to have pipes fixed and no one within your home has the requisite skills? You hire someone with the necessary expertise, pay him his fee, and then he leaves when the job is done. You don't adopt a plumber. In other words, work visas will suffice. DHS Secretary on Illegal Aliens: 'They're Here, and They're Not Going Away'. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, the nation's top immigration law enforcer, said on Friday [2/7/2014] that the estimated 11.5 million illegal aliens in the United States are "not going away." "They're here, and they're not going away," Johnson said at the Woodrow Wilson Center in remarks billed by the Obama administration as his "first major speech." US Congress Serious About Immigration Reform? If So, Let's Follow Mexico's Law! As US lawmakers struggle to find answers to this continuing problem, our leaders should look south to our troubled neighbors in Mexico, where some of the toughest, no-nonsense immigration laws in the world are on the books. Mind-Boggling Stats on Illegal Immigrants With Criminal Records the Press Rarely If Ever Publishes. As we head into yet another year wondering whether Washington, meaning President Obama and both political parties, will finally betray the nation and pass some form of illegal-immigrant amnesty, "Machiavelli" at the Virtuous Republic blog reminds us that the argument is about more than depressed wages, "keeping families together," and (in the misguided minds of Catholic bishops) Christian charity. House GOP leaders back limited path to legal status for illegal immigrants. House Republican leaders on Thursday [1/30/2014] endorsed a limited path to legal status for some illegal immigrants, in a move Democrats said could open the door to a deal on comprehensive immigration legislation. Mike Lee: Secure the Border Before Dealing with Illegal Aliens in America. Appearing on Fox News Thursday morning [1/30/2014], Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) said that he thinks House Republicans should insist that the border actually be secured before they even consider discussing anything to do with "legal status" or citizenship for illegal aliens in America. Amnesty Ends the American Dream. In the UK, immigration has become so toxic that it may lead to a split from the European Union. In Australia, it helped elect a conservative government willing to tackle its migrant boat problem. Meanwhile in the United States, Republicans keep flirting with a Super-Amnesty that would be four times as big as the last disastrous amnesty. Homeland Security Secretary: Illegals Have 'Earned Right to be Citizens'. Speaking at the United States Conference of Mayors on Friday [1/24/2014], Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said the approximately 11 million people who are in the country illegally have "earned the right to be citizens." "An earned path to citizenship for those currently present in this country is a matter of, in my view, homeland security to encourage people to come out from the shadows," said Johnson, in what he remarked was one of his first public speeches since being confirmed as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) chief in December. The Coming GOP Amnesty Sellout Push. Legalizers will try to make the prequisites look tough when they aren't — certainly nothing that can't be easily dismantled once the undocumented get their documents. Do not count on the press to correct this misimpression. They're in the "fool the rubes" camp too. Time for GOP to Listen to the American People. It is clear that the House GOP leadership is preparing to take action on the immigration issue this year. According to reports, the "principles" of immigration reform will be introduced next week and it will include a "pathway" to citizenship for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country. The bill will reportedly also mandate improved border security, provide additional visas for foreign workers and require those immigrants seeking legalization to learn English and pay certain fees. An Unholy Alliance Of Business, Congress Push Amnesty. Major businesses are calling for immigration reform this year, one that would include a massive amnesty for those here illegally. It might be good for their bottom lines, but it's bad for America's. DPS flies $7.4 million spy plane to the border. Texas Department of Public Safety troopers flew the fancy $7.4 million high-altitude spy plane — equipped with $1 million worth of surveillance cameras — from San Antonio to Fort Stockton Friday [1/10/2014], according to a flight tracker. The purchase of the Swiss-made aircraft by DPS flew largely under the radar of media outlets in 2012. But as controversies surrounding drones and the National Security Agency continue to balloon, more focus is being shifted toward government-run spy programs. Illegal immigrant Sergio Garcia gets California law license. The supreme court of California has granted a law licence to an undocumented immigrant from Mexico who has lived for years in the US. Sergio Garcia, 36, arrived in the US nearly two decades ago without papers. He attended law school and passed the California bar exam, but has not yet been granted a visa. Mr Garcia challenged a 1996 law barring illegal immigrants from receiving professional licences, a rule later changed by Governor Jerry Brown. The Illegal Lawyer and the Rule of Law. On the surface, the tale of Sergio Garcia's legal triumph is heart-warming. The native of Mexico worked hard in several jobs and went to college, eventually graduating from Cal Northern School of Law and passed the state's unusually challenging bar exam on his first try. He should be celebrated as an example of how the American dream still works for immigrants who are willing to follow the same path emigrants from other countries pursued in the past. But because Garcia entered this country illegally, his successful attempt to practice as an attorney illustrates both the dysfunction of the current system of legal immigration as well as how counter-productive some of the efforts of those pushing for change have been. Keyword: brazen. Undocumented Lawyer Says He Would Consider Running For Governor Of California. Sergio Garcia, the undocumented attorney in whose favor the California Supreme Court ruled when he tried to obtain his professional license, told Efe that his aspirations include becoming governor of the Golden State. "Insofar as it's legally possible for me, I'm thinking of launching a political campaign with the aim of eventually, perhaps many years from now, running for governor," he said. California court lets undocumented immigrant practice law. The California Supreme Court ruled on Thursday [1/2/2014] that an undocumented Mexican immigrant should be licensed to practice law in a closely watched case on immigration rights. Defining Immigration Deviancy Down. This is only the latest in a series of measures by some jurisdictions to normalize illegal immigration — giving illegal immigrants driver's licenses; issuing them ersatz Social Security numbers (called Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers or ITINs) by the IRS to enable them to file tax returns and open bank accounts; barring police departments from cooperating with immigration authorities when they arrest illegal aliens. The question to ask supporters of such measures is this: Will you be in favor of barring driver's licenses for illegals after an amnesty? Will you support prohibiting illegal aliens from being admitted to the bar after an amnesty? Will you support deporting illegal aliens after an amnesty? Obama deported only 0.2 percent of 11.7 million illegals in 2013. Fewer than 0.2 percent of the 11.7 million illegal aliens in the United States were deported in 2012 for violating immigration laws, according to data released by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. "It is a drop in the bucket," Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the Center for Immigration Studies, told The Daily Caller. "Relative to the [agency] resources and tools they have been given to do this job, it is a record low," said Vaughan. Obama's dangerous immigration reform agenda and amnesty. Before leaving on his 17-day vacation in Hawaii, President Obama declared that one of his top priorities for 2014 will be immigration reform, with amnesty. He knows that congressional Republicans feel pressure to do something to woo Hispanic voters. Mr. Obama will leverage those political forces for the midterm elections, even though he doesn't even enforce the existing immigration laws. Time to Use Drones in Mexico? The Mexican drug cartels are a threat to America's national security, yet last month the president endorsed the Senate immigration bill that does not sufficiently secure the border. Ranchers living in the Southwest have repeatedly reported incidents of violence that come from drug mules. American Thinker interviewed people affected by and knowledgeable about the cartels, asking them how they can be curtailed. Obama, top Dems now appear to be pushing for comprehensive immigration reform. The president on Friday [12/20/2013] appeared to urge the House to back the comprehensive, bipartisan immigration bill the Senate passed this summer — a departure from recent comments that suggested Obama was OK with the lower chamber's apparent piecemeal plan. Federal Judge: The Obama Administration Aids and Abets Human Trafficking. A federal judge in Texas has issued a searing indictment of the Obama administration's immigration policy. He accuses the government of "completing the criminal mission" of human traffickers "who are violating the border security of the United States" and assisting a "criminal conspiracy in achieving its illegal goals." The judge calls the administration's behavior "dangerous and unconscionable" and says that "DHS should cease telling the citizens of the United States that it is enforcing our border security laws because it is clearly not. Even worse, it is helping those who violate these laws." Pelosi calls for Obama to halt deportations. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi privately has urged the Obama administration to halt deportations for some illegal immigrants, saying that President Obama needs to use more "discretion" to reduce the number of people he's kicking out of the country. In an interview with Telemundo over the weekend, Mrs. Pelosi said that just being in the country illegally is not enough of a reason to be deported, and she said illegal immigrants must have something more serious on their records. The Editor says... Majority of Americans Believe Deportation of Illegal Immigrants Not Agressive Enough. According to a new Rasmussen Report, the majority of Americans do not believe the deportation of illegal immigrants living in the United States is aggressive enough. [...] Further, a majority of Americans want a secure border before any kind of path to citizenship is granted for millions of illegal immigrants already living in the United States. Amnesty for Military Members' Illegal Relatives Full of Loopholes. A new report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) provided to Breitbart News exclusively ahead of its public release shows that President Barack Obama's new amnesty for illegal aliens related to members of the U.S. military is a system full of loopholes. On Nov. 15, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) released a new memo detailing a new policy through which the Obama administration planned to exempt a new category of illegal aliens from deportation and other forms of enforcement of immigration law. Department of Homeland Security Stacked With Pro-Amnesty Attorneys Ahead of Illegal Immigration Fight. Former Department of Justice Assistant Attorney General and radical open borders attorney Tom Perez was safely put into the position of Labor Secretary by President Obama and the Senate earlier this year, knowing the Department of Justice is safely locked down as pro-amnesty. Perez has a long history of advocating not for American workers, but for illegal alien workers and made sure the Department of Justice was stacked with pro-amnesty attorneys before making his way to the Labor Department. [...] Recently the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, followed suit by hiring nearly a dozen pro-amnesty attorneys. Clergy join to tout migration reform. A joint pastoral letter [has been] published by bishops from Mexico, New Mexico and Texas titled "Family Beyond Borders." The document addresses human suffering related to the current immigration system and the difficulties that immigrant families face. According to a release from the Archdiocese of San Antonio, "Family Beyond Borders" was sent to President Obama and will be distributed to Texas senators and members of the House of Representatives. Crowd of 100 Illegal Aliens Attack U.S. Border Patrol, Mexican Authorities Let Them Go. A group of 100 Mexican nationals illegally crossed into the United States and attacked U.S. Border Patrol Agents with rocks and bottles, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP). The violent group was allowed to run back into Mexico and were permitted to disperse by Mexican authorities without being arrested or otherwise suffering any consequences for their brutal attacks on U.S. law enforcement. The attack occurred in southern California on November 24, 2013. Report: Deportations plummet in 2013, lowest since 2007. Authorities deported fewer illegal immigrants in fiscal 2013 than at any time since President Obama took office, according to secret numbers obtained by the Center for Immigration Studies that suggest Mr. Obama's nondeportation policies have hindered removals. Just 364,700 illegal immigrants were removed in fiscal 2013, according to internal numbers from U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement that CIS released Wednesday [10/30/2013] — down 11 percent from the nearly 410,000 who were deported in 2012. Questions Rarely Asked — and Never Answered. If you allow illegal immigrants to enjoy full government subsidies, driver's licenses, in-state tuition discounts, sanctuary cities, participation on juries, and all without fear of deportation, then why (a) would people not flock here illegally from Mexico, and (b) why after arriving would they go through the hassle of seeking citizenship when residency provides almost all the same benefits?Obama's Immigration Pivot Is Politically Self-Serving. For a leader who's dispensed so much bad medicine to his country — from the botched rollout of health reform to the endless debt debacle over government spending — it's almost surreal to see him make his next priority amnesty for illegal immigrants, an idea about as popular with the public as ObamaCare. But that's Obama's agenda, and the only thing we can conclude is that immigration reform is something that he thinks will help him, not the country. Immigration Activists to Launch 'Week of Escalation' to Pressure GOP. Immigration activist groups have declared they will launch a "week of escalation" this week to pressure lawmakers in Congress with acts of civil disobedience to pass comprehensive immigration reform this year. According to Politico, pro-immigration reform groups will target House Republican leaders and over 20 Republicans they think are vulnerable on the issue. Obama to House: Now Let's Negotiate Citizenship for Illegals. In a statement delivered from the White House this morning, President Barack Obama said that now that Congress has enacted a continuing resolution to fund the government — that includes funding to implement Obamacare — he would like to negotiate with the House with the aim of enacting the immigration bill passed by the Senate earlier this year. The key provision in that Senate bill would allow illegal aliens currently in the United States to become legal residents here and get on a "path to citizenship." Critics of the "path to citizenship" call it an "amnesty" because it lets foreign nationals breaking U.S. law — including U.S. immigration law — not only stay in the country but eventually become U.S. citizens. Republicans fear the power of 17 million newly legalized loyal Democrats. Republicans' new worst fear isn't defaulting on America's debts. If an immigration policy favored by the White House and Senate Democrats should become law, 17.3 million newly legalized immigrant voters would emerge by 2036, eager to reward the party that gave them a path to citizenship. The White House has shifted gears and put its policy team in immigration overdrive, zooming past the debt crisis that threatened to sink the republic and on to the task of normalizing the estimated 11 million U.S. residents who have no legal basis for being there. Obama says [he] will push immigration after [the] fiscal crisis [is] over. The president's domestic agenda has been sidetracked in his second term by one problem after another. 5 Ways Obama Has Trampled the Constitution. [#2] Implementing the DREAM Act by executive fiat: Congress has repeatedly considered, and rejected, a bill known as the Dream Act that would effectively grant amnesty to many illegal aliens. Yet in June 2012, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano issued a directive to immigration officials instructing them to defer deportation proceedings against an estimated 1.7 million illegal aliens. Companies lay off thousands, then demand immigration reform for new labor. On Tuesday, the chief human resources officers of more than 100 large corporations sent a letter to House Speaker John Boehner and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi urging quick passage of a comprehensive immigration reform bill. The officials represent companies with a vast array of business interests: [...] All want to see increases in immigration levels for low-skill as well as high-skill workers, in addition to a path to citizenship for the millions of immigrants currently in the U.S. illegally. California high court indicates it will deny law license to immigrant. The California Supreme Court indicated Wednesday [9/4/2013] that federal law appeared to prevent immigrants without green cards from obtaining licenses to practice law. During a hearing in a packed courtroom, several justices suggested they were bound to follow a law passed by Congress that denies professional licenses to immigrants who are in the country illegally. Should undocumented immigrant get a law license? California court to decide. The California Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday about whether it should grant a law license to Sergio Garcia. He was brought by his family from Mexico as a baby, returned to Mexico for part of his youth, and then came back to the United States at age 17 when his father (now a US citizen) became a permanent resident. Mr. Garcia's visa application was approved in 1995, but he is still waiting to receive it. He put himself through college and law school and passed the California bar exam. Pelosi Signs Letter Urging CA Gov. to Make State Sanctuary for Illegal Immigrants. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) signed a letter urging California Governor Jerry Brown (D) to sign into law a bill that would make the state a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants who have not committed felonies or "serious" crimes. Pelosi joined 27 other California House Democrats in signing the letter. The Editor says... Exclusive — End Of The U.S., Mexico Border Wall: No Check Points, No Security. Breitbart News' Brandon Darby traveled to the end of the border wall near McAllen, TX in July and found a severe lack of border security. [Video clip] Dallas suburb cannot bar housing to illegal immigrants, court rules. A federal appeals court on Monday [7/22/2013] rejected a Dallas suburb's controversial law that would have prevented illegal immigrants from renting housing. Man deported 11 times arrested again. A 19-year-old man and a 21-year-old man, who has already been deported 11 times, were arrested after running from deputies on Tuesday [7/16/2013]. The Strange Case of Mexican Emigration. Are millions of Mexican citizens still trying to cross the U.S. border illegally because there is dismal economic growth and a shortage of jobs in Mexico? Not anymore. In terms of the economy, Mexico has rarely done better, and the United State rarely worse. The Mexican unemployment rate is currently below 5 percent. North of the border it remains stuck at over 7 percent for the 53rd consecutive month of the Obama presidency. Treasonous Immigrationists and the Death of America. When people have come to your land mainly to make money and have loyalty lying elsewhere, it doesn't bode well for assimilation. The kicker here is that flooding a nation with unassimilable foreigners may do no more for diversity over the long term than pythons in the Everglades. Sure, the swamp is currently more diverse — with tens of thousands of fascinating non-indigenous creatures added to the mix — but how diverse will the ecosystem be when they decimate native species? Thus have Florida authorities decided that amnesty for the snakes probably isn't the best idea. Immigrants account for all job gains since 2000: native-born workers' employment has fallen. Immigrants — both legal and illegal — have accounted for all of the job gains in the U.S. labor market since 2000, according to a report that highlights the stiff competition for jobs in a tight economy as Congress debates adding more workers to the mix. [...] Meanwhile, the number of Americans who aren't in the labor force at all has jumped by almost 13 million to reach 48.6 million — a finding the report's authors say signals profound changes in the American job market and challenges conventional wisdom that immigration is good for the economy. Drug-filled Mexican airplanes land nightly along southern border despite $100 million sensor technology. In one California border town, at least four drug-laden, ultralight airplanes from Mexico land each night on U.S. soil, dropping off hundreds of pounds of narcotics then flying back to Mexico, all the while eluding a $100 million detection system funded by American taxpayers. Illegal Immigration: Elite Illiberality. Hard-working young Latin Americans, most of them from the interior of Mexico, cross the border illegally, usually to find jobs that pay over five times more per hour than anything they could find in Mexico, yet still less than the employer would have to pay an American. Between the ages of 18 and 40, illegal immigrants are among the hardest-working laborers in the world. However, the traditional entry-level jobs — picking peaches, nailing shingles, mowing lawns, changing diapers, cooking, making beds — for those without legality, education, or English often become a permanent dead end. Immigration reform to gag on. Sometimes the only antidote for poison is more poison. The body politic just can't take it any more and throws up everything. The result would suit the Democrats just fine. The Democrats pushing immigration reform want the issue, not the reform, and they think a defeat they could hang on the Republicans could give them a shot at keeping the Senate and taking the House next November. Then they could enact a law to give everybody who wants one an American passport. This would guarantee unanimous election results, like those in the squalid places the illegals are fleeing. ICE vs. Obama on Deportations. The Senate voted Tuesday [6/11/2013] to initiate debate on the Gang of Eight immigration bill. The process could take weeks, but supporters such as Senator Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) are predicting passage by July 4. In that time, a federal judge in Texas is expected to rule on a case that, although largely ignored by lawmakers, could have significant implications for the immigration-reform debate. Reid Blocks Senate Vote on Border Security Amendment to Immigration Bill. On Wednesday [6/12/2013], Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) blocked a vote on the border security amendment to the "Gang of Eight" immigration bill offered by Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA). House rebukes Obama, challenges deportation policy. The House voted Thursday [6/6/2013] to overturn all of President Obama's non-deportation policies, in a vote freighted with meaning as Congress warily eyes a broader immigration debate later over the next few months. It was one of several rebukes the House issued to Mr. Obama's immigration policies as the chamber debates a homeland security funding bill. The House also voted to preserve a program that lets local police help enforce immigration laws, rejecting the president's effort to defund it. Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio Forced By Court Ruling To Suspend Immigration Enforcement. Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, the self-proclaimed 'America's Toughest Sheriff,' who led the way for local law enforcement across the country to take up immigration enforcement, is now pulling back on his crackdown. Other law enforcement officials who have followed Arpaio's lead are also expected to eventually back away from doubling as immigration agents, traditionally considered a federal responsibility. Muslim Civil Wars Stem from a Crisis of Civilization. In 1982 I wrote an evaluation of the Mexican economy for Norman Bailey, then director of plans at the National Security Council and special assistant to President Reagan. I saw a crash coming, and no way to to prevent it. Three things prevented Mexico from dissolving into civil war (as it did during the teens of the past century at the cost of a million lives, or one out of seven Mexicans). One was the ability of Mexicans to migrate to the United States, which absorbed perhaps a fifth of the Mexican population. Ted Cruz's thoughtful approach to immigration reform. The mainstream media, on behalf of the left, treats Ted Cruz as if he were a knee-jerk, obstructionist right-winger, devoid of subtlety and nuanced thinking — a nastier version of Sarah Palin, as the MSM portrayed her. But that's not the Ted Cruz I see. Sure, he is capable of serving up red meat, as any ambitious modern politician must, at times, do. But on the issues, he generally comes across to me as a constructive, flexible thinker. Biden says '11 Million Undocumented' in U.S. 'Required to Constantly Live in Fear'. Speaking in Port-of-Spain in Trinidad and Tobago on Tuesday [5/28/2013], where he signed a trade agreement with a group of Caribbean nations, Vice President Joe Biden said that 11 million illegal aliens who have chosen to live in the United States "are required to constantly live in fear." The Editor says... The United States of El Norte. There are only two sure consequences of the current 800-page immigration hairball before Congress. The first is that a minimum of 11 million citizens of other countries, more Mexicans than anyone else, will become permanent, undeportable residents of the U.S., and can immediately begin working to get all their relations here. Second, the bill, if we are foolish enough to pass it, would create a powerful incentive for millions more south of the border to come here once word gets around that if you can sneak into El Norte now, you're here to stay. Non-deportation rate drops — to 99.2 percent. The Homeland Security Department has granted legal status to 99.2 percent of all illegal immigrants who have applied under President Obama's new non-deportation policy for young adults, according to the latest numbers released Friday [5/17/2013]. That's a slight drop from the 99.5 percent approval rate reported last month. Heritage Was Wrong [to dismiss Jason Richwine]. As you no doubt have already heard, on Friday the Heritage Foundation accepted the resignation of one Jason Richwine, who in 2009 had completed a Harvard dissertation in which he probed the nexus between immigration and IQ. The decision revealed a shocking unwillingness on the part of Heritage to stand up to bullying and protect the academic freedom of its researchers. Perhaps the only good thing to emerge from all this has been the wide-scale distribution of the dissertation itself, a worthy if highly debatable document. It's a pity that none of Richwine's detractors seem to have seriously engaged the paper, because an actual discussion of the ideas therein would be fruitful. The Heretic at Heritage. Richwine's thesis: IQ tests fairly measure mental ability. The average IQ of immigrants is well below that of white Americans. This difference in IQ is likely to persist through several generations. And the potential consequences of this? "A lack of socioeconomic assimilation among low IQ immigrant groups, more underclass behavior, less social trust and an increase in the proportion of unskilled workers in the American labor market." [...] But while his thesis was acceptable at Harvard — it earned Richwine a Ph.D. — it has scandalized the Potomac priesthood. In Defense of Jason Richwine. On Monday, May 6, Robert Rector and Jason Richwine of the Heritage Foundation published a study of the fiscal effects of immigration amnesty, arguing that the costs would amount to $6.3 trillion. Controversy greeted the report, but of the normal kind, with critics making specific allegations that the costs were calculated using unrealistic assumptions. On Wednesday, the Washington Post revealed that Richwine's 2009 Ph.D. dissertation at Harvard's Kennedy School had said that, on average, Latinos have lower IQs than do non-Latino white Americans and the nation should consider incorporating IQ into immigration decisions. The blogosphere and some elements of the mainstream media erupted in denunciations. L'Affaire Richwine. What I think is lost in Richwine's entire IQ thesis is that he's focusing on assimilation issues and is theorizing that IQ scores play a part. For the record, I don't buy Richwine's argument, but the idea that we should be focusing on immigrant populations and whether or not that can successfully assimilate into U.S. society is an important point to discuss. Ted Cruz Seeks to Ban Illegal Immigrants in U.S. from Citizenship. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a newly elected Republican with a penchant for making headlines, filed an amendment that would bar undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States from ever earning citizenship. [...] Cruz also filed amendments that he says would "strengthen border security measures; reform the high-skilled temporary worker program; modernize, streamline and expand legal immigration; and prohibit federal, state or local entitlement benefits for those here illegally." Obama administration reverses course on ICE agents' lawsuit. The Obama administration said Monday it's willing to subject its new non-deportation policies to collective bargaining with the labor union that represents immigration agents — a reversal that comes as the Homeland Security Department tries to head off a potentially devastating defeat in court. Could a Texas judge derail Obama's DREAM Act amnesty plans? So maybe the president can't rewrite the law as he pleases! That's the early word from a federal judge in Texas. On April 24, Judge Reed O'Connor concluded that the Obama administration's policy of granting de facto amnesty to some people who entered the country illegally violates federal immigration law. He did not issue an injunction, although that may still happen. New DHS, DOJ Policy Helps Insane Illegals Escape Deportation, Detention. A new policy issued by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Justice Department (DOJ) providing new "safeguards" and "enhanced protections" against deportation and detention for illegal immigrants with "serious mental disorders" is already having an impact. Judge to Janet Napolitano: You have to deport illegal immigrants. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano does not have the authority to refuse to enforce laws that require illegal immigrants to face deportation, according to the federal judge hearing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement union's lawsuit against DHS. "The court finds that DHS does not have discretion to refuse to initiate removal proceedings [when the law requires it]," U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor said Wednesday [4/24/2013], per Business Week. Napolitano: Obama Regime can decide which laws to enforce. In a startling and candid admission, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano argued to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday [4/23/2013] that regardless of oaths to uphold the law, the President and the executive branch can choose what laws are to be enforced. Tensions rose as the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee questioned Napolitano over the enforcement, or lack thereof, of current U.S. immigration policies. ICE chief admits he could have sought alternatives to releasing illegal aliens, but didn't. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton admitted that he could have avoided releasing 2,228 illegal immigrant detainees by asking Congress for flexibility under sequestration, but he never made an effort to do so. Only 1 percent of Americans say the U.S./Mexico border is 'totally secure'. Our national thoughts about illegal immigrants are a complex set of sentiments indeed. We value their work ethics and contributions to America within reason, but are wary of the potential cost of their health care or welfare in tax payer money. We have empathy for their situation, but prefer our visitors to speak English. And very few Americans trust the border. Only 1 percent — yes, that's a one — think the U.S. border with Mexico is "totally secure," this according to a new NBC News/Wall Street journal poll released Thursday [4/11/2013]. "Temporary" Amnesty Never Dies. Does America lack "compassion" and "humanity" for uninvited foreigners? Quite the contrary. While open-borders activists rail against "injustice" and demand new "pathways to citizenship," official U.S. policy rewards countless line-jumpers with permanent residency and taxpayer-subsidized benefits. Illegal Alien Propaganda: A Critical Lesson in Terminology and Tactics. As we once again face the specter of illegal alien amnesty, and the permanent Democratic majority it will guarantee, it is critical to understand how the Left plays. They are unethical to the core, but we are so frequently deluded by their tactical use of language and emotion, that we are unequipped to deal with them effectively. The result: they win. This cannot happen again, unless we are all willing to start calling Obama "President for Life," and Democrats, the "Commissars." Liars! Illegal Immigration Surging While Obama Administration Claims it is Declining. Via Fox Nation, newly released statistics show that illegal immigrant infiltration along the U.S.-Mexico border is increasing markedly despite recent statements to the contrary by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Despite DHS Claims, Stats Show Surge In Illegal Immigrant Border Traffic. "I can tell you having worked that border for 20 years, it is more secure now than it has ever been. Illegal apprehensions are at 40-year lows," [Janet] Napolitano told reporters this week in Houston. But figures released Thursday by Customs and Border Protection to Fox News tell a different story. Arrests are actually up 13 percent compared with the same time last year. The number was 170,223 in 2012, and is 192,298 this year. ICE Releases Undocumented Immigrants into the Valley. At least 12 undocumented immigrants once detained by Federal authorities are now being released here in the Valley. Several undocumented immigrants were found at Brownsville's bus terminal Sunday [4/7/2013]. New Radar Drone Reveals Holes in U.S. Border Security. Border agents apprehended fewer than half of those who crossed border illegally in test phase. GOP House to Vote on CR Allowing Obama to Continue Paring Back Border Patrol. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives voted on Thursday [3/21/2013] to adopt a set of Senate-approved amendments to the continuing resolution to fund the government for the rest of this fiscal year that gives the Obama administration the discretion to slightly decrease the number of Border Patrol agents. That could make 2013 the second year in a row when the administration has decreased the size of the Border Patrol, according to official data released by the Border Patrol itself. Fighting the Immigration Wars. [Scroll down] Did they release these illegals to sabotage any immigration reform plan that would have controlled the future flow of illegal immigrants? It seems that way, since all current immigration reform plans also address border security. The release of illegals by ICE demonstrates that the system is broken from the inside. After people cross the border, they are allowed to stay as long as they wish because there is no tracking mechanism regarding overstaying their visas and being employed illegally. ICE Admits It Released More Than 2,000 Illegal Aliens, Including Serious Offenders. After weeks of denials, the Obama administration acknowledged Thursday [3/14/2013] that it had, in fact, released more than 2,000 illegal immigrants from immigration jails due to budget concerns during three weeks in February. Barack Obama: America's Marquis De Sade. [Scroll down] To recap, Obama created the problem, prevented the problem from being solved, turned down the chance to minimize the problem, released 2,000 repeat offender and/or violent illegal aliens before the problem became a problem, passed the problem into law instead of vetoing it, and is now making sure (behind the scenes) that the problem is every bit as painful as it possibly could be. ICE freed 122 Arizona criminals. More than a third of the 342 illegal immigrants released from detention facilities in Arizona last month were convicted criminals, and one of them was categorized as a Level 1 offender, the highest risk, according to data released by the federal government Friday [3/15/2013]. The new information also showed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement released more people in the state than the 303 originally indicated by ICE, and for higher-level offenses, said Matthew Benson, spokesman for Gov. Jan Brewer. Perry: Obama Engaged in 'Federally Sponsored Jailbreak' During Sequester. Texas governor Rick Perry had harsh words for President Obama and his administration's "hysteria" over the sequester during his speech this afternoon [3/14/2013] at CPAC. After poking fun at the decision to shut down White House tours, Perry's remarks took a more serious turn. The former 2012 presidential candidate discussed the Department of Homeland Security's release of undocumented immigrants, calling the move a "federally sponsored jailbreak" that "crossed a line from politics of spin to politics as a craven form of cynicism." Feds recaptured 4 immigrants released under budget cuts. The Obama administration said Thursday it had rearrested and brought back four of the most dangerous immigrants it released from detention last month in the run-up to the budget sequestration. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director John Morton testified to Congress that his agency released 10 "level one" offenders, and has gone out and apprehended four of them. He said the other six are nonviolent. Whistle Blowers Say Obama Releasing Violent Illegal Aliens. Even though fifty-two illegal aliens were released onto its streets by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), officials in Pinal County told Front Page Magazine that ICE has still not shared any details about any individuals released. Furthermore, a whistle blower has told Pinal County officials that despite the Obama administration's insistence that only non-violent individuals were among those released, several individuals were in fact charged with crimes ranging from manslaughter, robbery and aggravated assault on a police officer. Chinese birth tourism booms in Southern California. Any child born on U.S. soil is granted citizenship. Hundreds of expecting moms from Mexico have been crossing the border into Arizona to deliver their babies for years as a result. Now, a growing number of pregnant Chinese women are flying to the U.S. to secure their child that prized U.S. birth certificate, and Southern California has become a hot bed of what's called "birth tourism." Gov't acknowledges thousands released from jails. fter weeks of denials, the Obama administration acknowledged Thursday [3/14/2013], in fact, released more than 2,000 illegal immigrants from immigration jails due to budget concerns during three weeks in February. Department of Misplaced Priorities. The Department of Homeland Security's release of thousands of illegal immigrants from detention centers and plans to furlough tens of thousands of border agents comes as the agency continues to hire and spend money on what congressional critics say are questionable projects. The Free Beacon found that DHS has embarked on a hiring spree even as it releases "low risk" detainees. Napolitano promises to release more illegals. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano promised to release more illegal immigrants into the United States, saying the budget sequester has left her no choice. Several hundred detainees have already released because of the sequester, she insisted. They were released on bail, or because their legal status had changed, she said. Janet Napolitano blasts media for sparking 'mythology' about release of illegal immigrants. During a Politico Playbook breakfast in Washington D.C. this morning, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano bitterly denounced the news media last week for revealing that the agency released over 2,000 illegal immigrants ahead of the sequester cuts. "There was a story that ran last week that said 'we released 2,000 detainees because of sequester' Napolitano said, mocking the hype inferred by the headline. "That is really not accurate," she insisted. Napolitano: Not sure why released detainees were in jail in the first place. Not only was Homeland Secretary Janet Napolitano surprised when the people who work for her released hundreds of illegal immigrants this week, but she doesn't know why those detainees were in jail in the first place, she told ABC News on Thursday [2/28/2013]. "That's a good question. I've asked the same question myself," she admitted. "So we're looking into it." DHS Official Resigns After White House Blasted for Illegal Aliens Freed Supposedly Over Budget Cuts. Today [2/27/2013] the White House was questioned over illegal aliens being released supposedly because of sequester budget cuts — they denied any involvement. However, hours after this press conference, ICE official Gary Mead announced he would resign — he's the head of the illegal alien detainment program. Thousands of illegal immigrants already released, according to report. Thousands of illegal immigrants ticketed for deportation have been released from federal detention centers in recent weeks, according to a report that came out even as the White House and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano denied any involvement in the policy. Obama Terrorizes Public with Illegal Alien Releases. In one of the most politically despicable moves ever perpetrated by a sitting administration, federal immigration officials have released hundreds of illegal aliens from prison in anticipation of budget cuts produced by the sequester. [...] In Arizona, Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu, who revealed that more than 500 inmates were released in his county alone, put this ploy in the proper perspective. "President Obama would never release 500 criminal illegals to the streets of his hometown, yet he has no problem with releasing them in Arizona. Obama Terrorizes Public with Illegal Alien Releases. In one of the most politically despicable moves ever perpetrated by a sitting administration, federal immigration officials have released hundreds of illegal aliens from prison in anticipation of budget cuts produced by the sequester. [...] Immigration officials further warned that even more releases are possible, if the anticipated cuts are realized. Obama Gives Criminal Illegals A 'Budget Pardon'. Even before sequestration hits, the administration has been releasing hundreds of illegal aliens scheduled for deportation, jeopardizing public safety in a demagogic attempt to scare us into not cutting spending. Obama Unloads Immigration Detention Centers Ahead of Sequester. Hundreds of illegal immigrants have been released from detention ahead of possible budget cuts. [...] On its face, this is a brazen, outrageous move, indeed. Seriously, letting people who are under custody awaiting deportation hearings out of prison just in case there are budget cuts? Really? Obama Terrorizes Public with Illegal Alien Releases. In one of the most politically despicable moves ever perpetrated by a sitting administration, federal immigration officials have released hundreds of illegal aliens from prison in anticipation of budget cuts produced by the sequester. [...] Yet it gets even more cynical. The "most transparent administration in history" is not only releasing inmates, it is refusing to say how many have been released, and where those releases are taking place. Federal officials claim that the detainees are still being monitored, even as they continue to face charges. They also insisted that only nonviolent offenders will be let go. That first claim is utterly disingenuous, if not an outright lie. Why are Democrats Harboring Illegal Immigrants? President Obama called for stronger border security during last night's State of the Union address. I wonder if he was aware there were at least five illegal immigrants sitting in the House chamber? Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) invited Gabino Sanchez, an illegal immigrant with a criminal record. Sanchez, whose record is littered with misdemeanor charges liked driving without a license, is fighting deportation. How Democrats Sponsored Illegal Immigration. [J]ust as Barack Obama escaped media scrutiny during his 2008 and 2012 campaigns, the news media in Chicago have never reported on the corrupt administrative actions its mayors have taken to make it a sanctuary city for illegal immigration. To this day the media refuse to discuss its sanctuary status or tell the story of how it came about, and how Hispanics are being directed, through government programs, into highly segregated communities. ICE agent: 'ICE's mission now is to identify aliens and release them'. "As a general rule, if ICE agents or officers are on duty in a public place and witness a violation of an immigration law, they are prohibited from making arrests and from asking questions under threat of disciplinary action," ICE union head Chris Crane told the House Judiciary Committee, before listing several examples. Black, Brown and Obama. [Scroll down] The anti-black racists in southern California, by contrast, are not blocking access to schools. Rather they are using violence and threats to terrorize blacks and drive them from their very homes and neighborhoods. This campaign has gone on for a decade yet, even under the nation's first black president, the victims have not received federal help anywhere near the extent of Eisenhower's action. The explanation doubtless lies with the perpetrators. [...] Those actually evicting blacks are "Latinos," an accredited victim group currently demanding amnesty and other special favors, which President Obama wants to give them. Illegal immigrant tells Congress not to call him illegal. Jose Antonio Vargas, an illegal immigrant and former reporter, scolded a congressional panel on Wednesday [2/13/2013], saying that he should not be called illegal, and saying it is an insult to his family who brought him here. "When you inaccurately call me illegal, you not only dehumanize me, you're offending them," he said. "No human being is illegal." The Editor says... Illegal Immigrant to Testify in Senate Next Week — With ICE Agent Who Cannot Arrest Him. Breitbart News has learned that one of the witnesses at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on immigration next week will be outspoken illegal immigrant Jose Antonio Vargas — who will be seated at the same table as Chris Crane, leader of the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement employees' union that is suing the government over Obama administration rules that make it very difficult for ICE agents to arrest illegal immigrants. Immigration Law Enforcement Put On ICE By Obama. A federal judge rules that border agents can proceed with a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of DHS directives ordering the agents to break the law — or have their careers threatened. Why Would Any American Need an AR-15? Zetas, That's Why. This is a problem all along the Arizona border, not just in Cochise County. One rancher in Arivaca, Arizona, Jim Chilton, told NBC News on January 25 about the dangerous drug smugglers that use his land "at will." His home has been burglarized twice, and he and his ranch hands are constantly on the lookout for armed smugglers. Top Democrat warns against using term 'illegal immigrants'. Opening the first immigration hearing of the new Congress, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee warned his colleagues not to use the term "illegal immigrant" as the debate goes on. "I hope no one uses the term illegal immigrants here today. Our citizens are not — the people in this country are not illegal. They are are out of status. They are new Americans that are immigrants," said Rep. John Conyers Jr., Michigan Democrat. Immigration law enforcement union boss: Obama doesn't care if we die. President Obama and the Department of Homeland Security care more about "special interests" in the Democratic campaign base than the lives of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, the ICE union boss told Congress today. "Death or serious injury to ICE officers and agents appears more acceptable to ICE, DHS, and Administration leadership, than the public complaints that would be lodged by special interest groups representing illegal aliens," Chris Crane, president of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement 118, told the House Judiciary Committee this afternoon [2/5/2013]. Incoherent Immigration Reform. Nothing about illegal immigration quite adds up. Conservative corporate employers still support the idea of imported, cheap, non-union labor — in a strange alliance with liberal activists who want the larger blocs of Latino voters that eventually follow massive influxes from Latin America. ICE Union Bombshell: ICE 'Guided' By Illegal Alien Interest Groups, Agents 'Prohibited' From Enforcing Laws. On Tuesday [2/5/2013], Chris Crane, President of the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council 118 testified before the House Judiciary Committee. In his testimony, Crane explains how ICE is "now guided in large part by the influences of powerful special interest groups that advocate on behalf of illegal aliens." ICE Is Not Allowed to Enforce Immigration Law. ICE cannot arrest aliens unless they have committed a felony. It is basically legal to enter the country illegally. ICE is prohibiting agents from enforcing immigration law. Senate plan would give Napolitano the final say on border security. Under a bipartisan Senate framework, Democrats say, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano would have final say over whether the border is secure enough to put 11 million illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship. If Napolitano does not provide the green light for putting illegal immigrants on a pathway to citizenship, the responsibility for judging whether the metrics for border security have been met will be given to her successor. Amnesty = Extinction. On January 28, 2013, a group of Republicans in Congress decided to close down the Republican Party. Their "going out of business sale" involves converting an estimated 12 to 20 million trespassing illegal aliens into solidly-Democrat voters. Republicans will ensure Democrat control of Congress and the White House with millions of new voters for generations to come. Will there really be 12 to 20 million new Democrat voters? No. Have you heard of "chain migration?" Each new citizen can petition to bring their immediate and extended family with him. So we are talking about perhaps an eventual 40 million new Democrat voters. Carney: "Our Borders Now Are More Secure Than They Have Ever Been In History". ["]When it comes to border security, I think anyone who looks at this honestly will note the tremendous strides we have made in the past four years in protecting our borders. In fact, they have never been better enforced than they are now.["] Sessions: Obama Immigration Enforcement Chief Must Resign. Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions on Tuesday [1/29/2013] demanded the resignation of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director John Morton. 'More Flexibility': Obama to Govern by Executive Fiat in 2nd Term. When Obama wanted to "reform" our nation's immigration system and didn't have the votes in Congress, what did he do? He simply implemented illegal alien amnesty through executive fiat by instructing Immigration and Customs Enforcement to look the other way and not apprehend and deport most illegal alien lawbreakers. Call it "prosecutorial discretion." Call it "selective deportation." Call it whatever you want. When the president refuses to enforce immigration law and allows illegal aliens to enjoy many of the benefits of citizenship or legal residence, that's amnesty. Having Blocked Reform for 8 Years, Obama Will Push for Immigration Overhaul in 2013. He undermined bipartisan attempts at comprehensive immigration reform from 2005 through 2007 as a Senator. He broke his promise to introduce immigration reforms in his first term, and used election-year executive action in a cynical ploy for Latino votes. Now, the New York Times reports, President Barack Obama is about to push for new immigration legislation, using his State of the Union address and his new political clout. President Obama, Immigration Czar. If these ever-changing immigration rules are indeed a legitimate use of executive discretion, then perhaps the president might tell us what would not be? Along with most of the American public — not to mention Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution — I was under the distinct impression that immigration law was a federal responsibility and that its provisions were to be determined by the U.S. Congress, and not by the executive branch. Document drop: Another Obama ICE memo sabotages homeland security. In a nutshell, the Morton memo will make it more difficult for local police to detain illegal alien criminal suspects through the 287(g) deportation program. The directive states that "three or more convictions for minor traffic misdemeanors or other relatively minor misdemeanors alone should not trigger a detainer unless the convictions reflect a clear and continuing danger to others or disregard for the law." The memo builds on other Morton directives aimed at limiting the scope of immigration enforcement at the behest of open-borders leftists. ICE Scraps 287(g) Program That Allowed Local Police to Enforce Immigration Law. Amid Hispanic calls for immigration leniency, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency is scrapping a program that allowed specially trained state and local law enforcement officers to enforce federal immigration law. On Dec. 21, the Friday before Christmas, ICE announced that it has decided "not to renew any of its agreements with state and local law enforcement agencies that operate task forces under the 287(g) program." Border crossing operates on honor system, Border Patrol hundreds of miles away. The Obama administration is set to reopen a crossing station at the Texas and Mexico border that was closed after the September 11 terrorist attack for security concerns, yet is newly constructed to be monitored by Border agents stationed hundreds of miles away. Federal officials estimate the Boquillas crossing located in the Big Bend National Park will accommodate 20,000 visitors a year, whose entry into the U.S. will by monitored by Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) officers 300 miles away in El Paso through surveillance cameras that will observe kiosks where identification cards are scanned for access. GOP's amnesty suicide. Granting amnesty is not an option, either practically or politically. Polls consistently show that a strong majority of Americans reject providing illegal aliens with a path to citizenship. The reason is simple: Such a policy would reward criminal behavior. It would eradicate America's national sovereignty, telling the world that our borders exist in name only. Come and stay here long enough, and in big enough numbers, and amnesty is inevitable. Texas Border With Mexico Secured by Deer Cameras. Texas has a problem. It is incumbent on the Lone Star State, along with New Mexico, Arizona, and California, to secure the nation's southern border when federal resources fail. Of these states, Texas has the lion's share — over 1,200 of the border's total of nearly 2,000 miles. It is the most frequently crossed border in the world with nearly 350 million annual crossings.Massachusetts Mayor Bans the Word 'Illegal' for Illegal Immigrants. The mayor of Somerville, Mass., has banned the use of the term "illegals" when referring to illegal aliens. Mayor and Alderman Joe Curtatone announced the new policy at a local board meeting last week, according to the Somerville Journal. Politically-Driven Law Enforcement Has Consequences. [Scroll down] Minneapolis and St. Paul are "sanctuary cities." It is hard to understand how someone can be arrested "at least seven times" for driving without a license, "along with other traffic violations," and not only be out of jail — there is no suggestion that [Isidoro] Corona has ever been incarcerated — but still driving a car. Would a citizen be treated so leniently? That is hard to imagine. Illegal Immigrants Cost Michigan Taxpayers $1 Bil A Year. A Michigan lawmaker has revealed startling figures associated with illegal immigration in the Great Lakes region; taxpayers in the Wolverine State spend nearly $1 billion annually for their healthcare, education, welfare, jails and human services. That's a chunk of change for a Midwestern state with a population that doesn't quite reach 10 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The figure doesn't even include the toll illegal immigration takes on security and jobs that are taken by those who shouldn't even be in the U.S., according to the Michigan State Representative, Dave Agema of Grandville. Napolitano says more than 3,000 illegal immigrants applying daily under deportation reprieve plan. More than 3,000 young illegal immigrants are applying daily to take part in the administration's new deportation reprieve policy, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said last week. Napolitano said a total of roughly 200,000 people have applied since the agency began accepting applications two months ago. LAPD Chief Tells Officers to Ignore Federal Illegal Immigrant Law. In Los Angeles, where the distinctions between the citizen and the non-citizen are often little more than abstractions, they are one step closer to vanishing altogether. That such a thing should occur in Los Angeles comes as no surprise to anyone paying even the slightest attention to recent trends in the city's governance. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is famously sympathetic to the cause of illegal immigrants, and most members of the city council hold similar views. ICE Says It Has Better Things to Do Than Go After Jose Antonio Vargas. In one of the clearest signs yet that Jose Antonio Vargas won't be deported from the U.S., Immigration and Customs Enforcement has issued a statement on why it didn't take action against the journalist, activist and undocumented immigrant after he was arrested on Friday [10/5/2012] in Minneapolis for driving without a license. Nancy Pelosi Faults Federal Agents for Enforcing the Law. Pelosi attributes increased deportation under Obama to federal agents, and see Obama's DREAM Act executive order as the solution to this 'problem.' DNC Chairman Villaraigosa's Extremist Past. [Antonio] Villaraigosa, whose original name was Tony Villar, entered UCLA as a transfer student from East Los Angeles Community College in 1972. He joined the UCLA chapter of Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan (MEChA), and was leading it by 1974. MEChA is an Hispanic separatist organization that encourages anti-American activities and civil disobedience. The radical members of MEChA who refer to themselves as "Mechistas," romanticize Mexican claims to the "lost Territories" of the Southwestern United States — a Chicano country called Aztlan. Immigrants arrested after blocking street. Ten undocumented immigrants were arrested Tuesday afternoon [9/4/2012] after sitting down in an uptown intersection and refusing police orders to disperse. The activists are part of the "Undocubus," a group of about 50 undocumented immigrants traveling from Phoenix to Charlotte to argue for immigration reform during the Democratic National Convention. How Obama's 'DREAMers' Will Get Social Security Numbers and Become Legal Residents. Cracks in our Social Security and immigration systems will mean that many of those granted administrative amnesty under President Obama's executive enforcement of the DREAM Act will effectively be legal residents even though the clear language of the mandate says that they will be granted a work visa for two years. That's because along with the work visa, all the new DREAMers will be eligible for a permanent and fully functioning Social Security Number. With a social security number, one can get credit, a driver's license in most states, and be eligible to work legally. 'Undocumented Youth' Tell Reporters Harry Reid 'Is One of Our Biggest Supporters'. A group of activists who are illegally in the United States hosted a conference call on Friday responding to the lawsuit filed this week by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The agents claim that President Barack Obama's directive to allow certain illegal aliens to stay in the country forces them to violate federal law. Immigration agents sue to stop Obama's non-deportation policy. Saying they are fed up with being told that they can't do their jobs, 10 immigration agents on Thursday [8/23/2012] sued the Obama administration to try to overturn the president's new non-deportation policy. The lawsuit, filed in a federal court in Texas, adds a legal controversy to the political fight that has been brewing over President Obama's immigration policies, which have steadily narrowed the range of immigrants whom the government is targeting for deportation. Immigration agents file suit against Napolitano over 'amnesty' program. Ten federal immigration agents have filed suit against Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano claiming recent directives are forcing them to break the law and ignore their duties when it comes to deporting illegal immigrants. The suit was filed Thursday [8/23/2012] in Texas federal court by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials. It challenges recent directives allowing some illegal immigrants — particularly non-felons and those who came to the U.S. as children — to stay and, in some cases, get work permits. Rep. Ted Poe: Deport Foreign Convicted Criminals. Nearly 150,000 illegal-alien criminals are in American jails or on American streets, a U.S. congressman says. And those roaming American cities and towns are there thanks to a U.S. Supreme Court decision that forbids the government from indefinitely incarcerating the criminals if the United States cannot deport them after their sentences are over. The decision has led to the death of at least six American citizens, and Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) is sounding the tocsin. Amnesty Lines Exceed a Mile; High-school Dropouts May Apply. Millions of illegal aliens queued up across the country on Wednesday, August 15, to get papers to stay in the country. The illegals, almost all of them from either Mexico or other Hispanic nations, got into line to apply for President Obama's "youth amnesty." That policy, announced in June, essentially established the DREAM Act as federal law by executive decree, even though the act failed in the Senate in December 2010. Although Obama set out a list of DREAM-like criteria for "young" illegals, the day before the amnesty began the administration began loosening the rules so that they applied to just about any young and illegal immigrant. EPA Border Program Ignores Environmental, Safety Damage From Illegals. In an effort to curb "high priority" environmental problems along the U.S.-Mexico border, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) worked with Mexican officials last week to launch the "Border 2020 U.S.-Mexico Environmental Program." But while the program seeks to abridge pollution in many areas, it neglects to mention the 1,000 tons of trash abandoned by illegal immigrants crossing the border into the United States. Justice Department opposes illegal immigrant's bid to practice law. An illegal Mexican immigrant who wants to be licensed to practice law in California has received support from the state's top law enforcement officer, the State Bar of California, civil rights groups, county bar associations and law professors — but not from the Obama administration. In a brief to the California Supreme Court, the U.S. Department of Justice said federal law prohibits giving a public benefit, such as a bar license, to an "unlawfully present alien." IRS discourages employees from detecting fraud. Child tax credit payments to illegal immigrants have quadrupled in the past five years as a result of President Obama's stimulus package and the Internal Revenue Service's refusal to pursue instances of fraud, a new study shows. The IRS is also failing to inform citizens that illegal immigrants have stolen their Social Security Numbers. The IRS paid out $7.4 billion in tax refunds to illegal immigrants in 2012, quadruple the $1.7 billion paid out in 2007, according to a new report by Senate Republicans. Senator: Obama's Immigration Policy Provides Safe Harbor to Criminal Aliens. President Obama's new immigration plan will provide safe harbor to criminal aliens and will lead to a "capitulation to lawlessness" that could threaten public safety, according to U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions R-AL. Fox News has obtained an internal document detailing how the Dept. of Homeland Security plans on implementing what critics say amounts to an amnesty policy for what could be more than one million illegal immigrants. Unions, GOP Senators raise alarm on Obama's amnesty power-grab. The Obama administration's de facto amnesty for younger illegal aliens has major Homeland Security unions and key lawmakers up in arms over the policy's dangerous effects and lawless basis. The heads of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents' and Border Patrolmen's unions joined Sens. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) and David Vitter (R-La.) at a recent press conference in Washington. The labor leaders exposed the end-run legalization scheme that Obama higher-ups are implementing. Obama immigration policy opens work permit door to ID thieves, jailed illegals, uninsured drivers. The White House immigration policy would not prevent illegal aliens who have committed identity theft or have been driving cars without licenses from obtaining work permits, an administration official told reporters during a press conference on Friday [8/3/2012]. It will also be extended to some illegals already in jail and to some who have already been approved for deportation by judges, he said. ICE Agents: Obama Won't Let Us Arrest Illegals. A veteran Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent is facing suspension after he refused to release an illegal immigrant who was not considered a priority target under the Obama Administration's new immigration enforcement policies, according to documents provided exclusively to Fox News. "They're punishing law enforcement officers who are just trying to uphold U.S. law," said Chris Crane, president of the National ICE Council. Crane is a union representative acting on the unidentified officer's behalf. The officer under fire is an 18-year law enforcement and military veteran. Should ICE agent be disciplined for arrest? Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., is demanding answers after a report surfaced that a veteran U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent is facing punishment for refusing to release an illegal immigrant he'd arrested on multiple driving violations because his supervisors said that under the Obama administration's immigration enforcement policy, the suspect was not a 'priority target.' Should the agent be disciplined? Obama admin under fire for secretive catch and release immigration policy. Three Republican Senators and the presidents of two major law enforcement unions are expected to band together at a Thursday [7/26/2012] press conference to call out what they consider President Barack Obama's questionable immigration and border security policies. Specifically, a source familiar with the presser told The Daily Caller, they'll likely focus on a secret internal U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) memo that — if eventually implemented into policy — would allow its agents to catch and release "low priority" illegal immigrants. In Baltimore, Illegal Immigrants Welcomed with Open Arms. The mayor of Baltimore, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake (D), deliberately wants the city compete to become the nation's largest sanctuary city. Baltimore's unemployment rate is at 10 percent. For blacks in Baltimore, the unemployment rate is over 20 percent. People are fleeing Maryland — and its major cities like Baltimore — to states like Virginia and North Carolina that have better conditions for economic growth. But none of that seems to matter to Rawlings-Blake, who thinks opening up Baltimore to illegal immigrants (her goal is to attract at least 10,000 immigrants to Baltimore) will solve — and will not exacerbate — the city's economic woes and counteract population decline. How Obama has stealthily dismantled America's immigration enforcement laws. The ancient Chinese practice of lingchi, the "Death of a Thousand Cuts," best describes the manner in which the Obama administration has systematically whittled away most immigration enforcement since taking office. Over time, the rule of law has been shredded not by a single act, but by many small cuts. A review of President Obama's record reveals a jaw-dropping steady and stealthy dismantling of virtually every tool and resource used to identify and remove deportable aliens. U.S. Rep. Steve King Will Sue Obama on Amnesty. "I think we're talking weeks rather than months," King told The Daily Caller of the lawsuit, which seeks to stop President Obama from unilaterally changing immigration laws passed by Congress to suit the ideological demands of the radical Left and the electoral demands of the "Latinos" in his party. Obama made the move just 10 days before his administration partly prevailed against Arizona in the U.S. Supreme Court, which struck down parts of Arizona's tough immigration law. Now, King is one man in Congress ready to fight back. Issa: DHS gives 'criminal illegal aliens' privacy rights even Americans don't have. Department of Homeland Security officials (DHS) rejected an official request for information about illegal immigrants arrested and deported in California, citing the privacy rights of the deportees, even though that information would be publicly available if the criminals were American citizens. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., suggested that officials under President Obama had blocked the information for political appointees. The Cloward-Piven strategy applied to border enforcement: Obama Adminstration Closing Nine Border Crossing Stations in Four States. The administration claims that it is consolidating, but the move has sparked protests from Border Patrol agents concerned that they will now be overwhelmed. [...] It may be crazy, but it is consistent with an administration that has switched to a policy of non-enforcement in a desperate bid to pander to leftist Hispanics and the open borders crowd (most Hispanics do not regard tearing down the border as a good idea). Judicial Watch Sues DOJ for Records of Illegal Alien Amnesty Program. Many citizens in the cities of Baltimore and Denver might be surprised to learn that they provided a "testing ground" for the Obama administration's dangerous (and unlawful) policy of suspending the deportations of illegal aliens last year. But that's exactly what happened. And Judicial Watch has initiated an investigation of the matter. The imperial presidency revisited. Consider this breathtaking cascade: An administration violates its constitutional duty to execute the law by deliberately refusing to enforce it. It then characterizes its non-enforcement as simply establishing priorities. It then tries to strike down a state law on immigration on the grounds that it contradicts federal law — by actually trying to enforce it! Texas Deploys Gunboats to Patrol Rio Grande. Even as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is instructing U.S. Border Patrol agents to run away from violent criminals, the Lone Star State is preparing to meet force with force. The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has announced that it is deploying two gunboats armed with machine guns to patrol the waters of the Rio Grande to stop Mexican cartel thugs from running drugs across the border. Rich Hispanic Exec Wants to Eradicate The Term 'Illegal Immigrant. A wealthy Hispanic executive who makes a fortune dealing with the Hispanic market is on the march to eradicate the term "illegal immigrant." Charles Patrick Garcia, writing on the CNN website, lauds the U.S. Supreme Court for eschewing the use of "illegal immigrant" and instead utilizing the term "removable alien." Majority of Americans: Feds Encourage Illegal Immigration. Fresh off of the Supreme Court ruling on SB 1070 Monday, determining local police can ask about legal status after a crime has been committed, a majority of Americans believe the federal government encourages illegal immigration according to a new Rasmussen Report. Law allowing Border Patrol to do their job moves through House. Border Patrol agents must abandon their vehicles to chase illegal immigrants, drug smugglers and potential terrorists who illegally cross into the United States and onto federal lands that are designated as environmentally sensitive areas. Legislation passed by the House last week to slash environmental red tape would allow law enforcement to "do the job they are paid to do," said Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah), who authored the language. Obama Administration Refusing To Assist Arizona With Immigration-Status Checks. There will be an increased number of calls from Arizona police, checking on immigration status — and Obama refuses to budge the number of personnel handling such calls. In most cases, they simply won't even return the call (or pick up the phone). Homeland Security suspends immigration agreements with Arizona police. The Obama administration said Monday [6/25/2012] it is suspending existing agreements with Arizona police over enforcement of federal immigration laws, and said it has issued a directive telling federal authorities to decline many of the calls reporting illegal immigrants that the Homeland Security Department may get from Arizona police. 7 Reasons Obama's Amnesty For Under 30 Illegals Is Terrible Policy. [#6] This will encourage illegal immigration: If you can pass for 30 years old or younger and you've ever considered coming to America illegally, now is the time. All you have to do is get here, get some phony documentation, and chances are you'll get to stay in the country indefinitely with a work permit. There are undoubtedly tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of illegals on the way here to take advantage of Obama's stupidity. Obama's amnesty-by-fiat: Naked lawlessness. "With respect to the notion that I can just suspend deportations [of immigrants brought here illegally as children] through executive order, that's just not the case, because there are laws on the books that Congress has passed." — President Obama, March 28, 2011. Those laws remain on the books. They have not changed. Yet Obama last week suspended these very deportations — granting infinitely renewable "deferred action" with attendant work permits — thereby unilaterally rewriting the law. And doing precisely what he himself admits he is barred from doing. 7 Reasons Obama's Amnesty For Under 30 Illegals Is Terrible Policy. [#1] It's illegal: Since there are currently no work permits for illegal aliens, handing them out would require a change in the existing law. If this were a dictatorship like North Korea or Cuba, Dear Leader Barack Obama could simply issue a decree and change the law. Here in America we're a republic which means that he unquestionably, uncontroversially cannot issue work permits for illegal aliens without a bill passing through Congress. His attempt to do so may seem like a small matter to some people, but it sets an extremely dangerous precedent that undermines democracy in our country. Obama Using Hispanics As Patsies. Making it easier for employers to hire illegals at substandard wages is hardly beneficial to Hispanics struggling in this awful economy but if it gets Obama re-elected than it will be worth it, right? There is no question that our immigration system is horribly flawed and corrupt and no matter how many laws are on the books, if they are not enforced what good are they? The maddening details of Obama's DREAM Decree are becoming clearer. As [a recent] CIS report notes, 1) The decree doesn't just apply to illegal immigrants who were "brought to this country by their parents." It also would give work permits to those who snuck across the border by themselves as teenagers. "Through no fault of their own" is a talking point for DREAM proselytizers, not an actual legal requirement. 2) The same goes for the phrase "and know only this country as home." That's a highly imaginative riff on the decree's actual requirement, which is for 5 years "continuous residence." It turns out "continuous residence" doesn't mean what you think it means. It's the Cloward-Piven Strategy! Obama's election-year immigration move could create logistical nightmare. President Barack Obama's new de facto amnesty for young illegals will create a logistical nightmare when it is implemented, according to a chorus of legislators and policy analysts. The new program, initiated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and announced by President Obama, will bring nearly one million new people into the offices of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). "He is giving away things that are not his to give." Prince of Handouts. Quite a lot has been said about what Obama's instant amnesty scheme means in the purely procedural sense — that it's illegal and unconstitutional on its face, all of which is undeniable. What we haven't heard discussed is what it's actually for. It's being taken for granted that it's of a piece with general Democratic corruption at the voting booth — ACORN, Black Panthers swinging nightsticks, phantom voters, Eric Holder defending the voting rights of the deceased, and so forth. But in fact, it's much more straightforward than that. Obama's amnesty ukase is simply Chicago writ large. After drunken driver kills son, mother billed for cleanup. Although [Anna] Gonzalez was an illegal immigrant that had lived here for 12 years, she never got a South Carolina driver's license. She has been sentenced to 17 years in prison. Obama's Administrative Dream Act Myths. The Obama administration's latest attempt at amnesty is a lawless act and an end run around American citizens and their representatives in Congress. It is also a hostile act toward the millions of legal residents looking for jobs. Legalizing illegal aliens is unpopular and this plan may well drive voters away from the Obama campaign. Granting new 'rights' out of thin air. Whatever the merits or demerits of the Obama immigration policy, his executive order is good only as long as he remains president, which may be only a matter of months after this year's election. People cannot plan their lives on the basis of laws that can suddenly appear, and then suddenly disappear, in less than a year. To come forward today and claim the protection of the Obama executive order is to declare publicly and officially that your parents entered the country illegally. How that may be viewed by some later administration is anybody's guess. Only Voters Can Hold Obama Accountable for Illegal Amnesty Policy . President Obama's new amnesty policy regarding illegal aliens violates the law. But there's probably no route to trump it either in Congress or in court, so the only recourse is for the American people to trump it by electing a new president. Obama Lurching Toward Tyranny. Obama's government is the biggest violator of law in our history. His very methods of governing, which include bypassing Congress's constitutional authority to make law, actually show contempt for the Constitution and the American rule of law. By executive orders, Mr. Obama both violates the law against his own American-citizen "enemies," such as Catholic institutions when it comes to abortion and birth control, and grants unlawful privileges for his supporters or potential supporters, such as his immigration amnesty order this week. Rep. Steve King to sue Obama admin over amnesty order. Rep Steve King, Iowa Republican, and Vice Chairman of the House Immigration Subcommittee, said he plans to sue the Obama Administration over its decision to halt deportations of young illegal immigrants. On Friday's Mike Huckabee's radio show he discussed the matter. Rep. Steve King to sue Obama administration over new immigration policy. Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King said Friday that he plans to sue the Obama administration to halt implementation of its newly announced selective illegal immigration law enforcement policy. He told Mike Huckabee on the former Arkansas governor's radio program Friday that he successfully sued his own state's governor — and won — over a similar separation-of-powers issue. "I will tell you that — I'm not without experience on this — I'm prepared to bring a suit and seek a court order to stop implementation of this policy," King said. Rep. King 'launching immediate review' into Obama admin ending deportation of under-30 illegals. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rep. Peter King told The Daily Caller he's going to be looking into the Obama administration's newly announced plans to selectively enforce illegal immigration law. "The Administration is overstepping its authority by weakening immigration laws without Congressional approval," King said in an email. "I am very concerned about efforts to administratively implement amnesty for countless illegal aliens under the age of 30. It is vital that US borders are secure prior to any consideration of amnesty proposals." Lindsey Graham: Obama Immigration Move 'Possibly Illegal'. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) took to Twitter Friday to attack President Obama's move to grant effective amnesty to young illegal immigrants: He was among the first lawmakers to react to the surprise announcement. "President Obama's attempt to go around Congress and the American people is at best unwise and possibly illegal," he tweeted. Graham, a former Air Force prosecutor, said the move, "regardless of motivation, will entice people to break our laws." Obama grants legal status to young illegal immigrants. The Obama administration said Friday it will stop deporting most illegal immigrant students and young adults in a campaign-year move that escalates the immigration debate to the fore. For years the administration had said it didn't have the authority to make such a move, saying it couldn't decide to stop deporting wide categories of people on its own without approval from Congress. But on Friday President Obama says administration now interprets the law to give it the discretion. Mr. President: U.S. Latinos Respect the Constitution, Too. President Obama can rewrite U.S. immigration policy all by himself. Who knew? The Obama administration will stop deporting — and begin giving work permits — to younger illegal immigrants who entered the U.S. as children and have since led law-abiding lives. The administration's policy will affect as many as 800,000 immigrants: they will avoid deportation and be eligible for work permits if they arrived in the U.S. before age 16, are younger than 30, and have been in the country for at least five continuous years. This president has continually lied to people with my skin color and surname. More about President Obama's politically-motivated immigration amnesty speech. Romney responds to new immigration policy. Effective immediately, the president's announcement prevents the deportation of about 800,000 illegal immigrants who came to this country as children, and gives them the ability to stay and work legally. It will apply to people younger than 30 who arrived before they were 16, and have lived in the country for at least 5 consecutive years. Romney, however, called for a more permanent solution. Obama's immigration amnesty: is it motivated by humanity, economics or crude politics? The Obama administration has announced that it's granting what effectively amounts to amnesty to 800,000 children of illegal immigrants. Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano, says this is about reducing expenditure on "low priority" cases so as to beef up enforcement elsewhere. You have to hand it to Obama: this is bold, radical, liberal stuff. It's the kind of thing you could imagine a hypothetical President Ted Kennedy doing on a wet afternoon when he's run out of other ways to offend Middle America. This President is Virtually Criminal. This president's abuse of excecutive orders, and executive authority in general, is moving into the range of authoritarianism — and lawless authoritarianism, at that. Today's announcement of amnesty for 800,000 illegals is an outrage. It must not stand. And this president, this Occupier, must not be countenanced. By all legal means, he ought to be resisted. Obama's move on immigration is an unconstitutional disaster for the unemployed. President Obama thwarted the will of Congress and shunned the 20 million under- and unemployed Americans by announcing he will grant work permits to 2 million to 3 million illegal workers. This unconstitutional fiat ignores the rule of law and bypasses Congress, which on three occasions rejected DREAM Act amnesties in part to protect unemployed workers born here or who came here legally. We have a long tradition of election-year pandering by sitting presidents, but it is hard to recall when a president has proposed a measure so destructive to the most vulnerable of our society. Obama decrees some illegals are more illegal than others. This kind of pandering to Hispanics could win him the election. In states like Florida, Virginia, Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada, where Hispanics are a growing part of the electorate, this sort of action could tip the balance in his favor — especially since all of those states are expected to be close. I'm pretty sure Congress is going to challenge his ability to declare one set of illegals not illegal, and keep the rest of illegals, illegal. Perhaps Obama has mistaken that cardboard crown he got from his last trip to Burger King for the real thing. He sure is acting like a king, isn't he? Illegals Ripping Off U.S. Taxpayers. The Internal Revenue Code provides for an "additional child tax credit" of up to $1,000 to help working families who have children living at home. It requires that each child live at home for at least six months out of the year. But several years ago illegal immigrants discovered a loophole that allows them to claim as many children as they want — including nieces and nephews — even if they have never stepped foot on American soil. Illegals must pay taxes but they can't obtain a Social Security number. And so to remedy the situation, President Bill Clinton signed into law a solution: Illegals can receive a nine-digit individual taxpayer number — an ITIN — which allows their employers to withhold payroll taxes. Illegal voters: The winning edge. Could illegal voting decide the next presidential election? Steps are being taken by the Justice Department that may help guarantee it. End Handouts for Illegals. The federal government is handing out $4.2 billion a year to illegal aliens. This isn't some service benefit that illegal aliens are receiving, like taxpayer-subsidized health care or education. And it's not a tax deduction or a non-refundable tax credit, which would require recipients to actually pay taxes in order to receive the benefit. It's a refundable tax credit, a taxpayer-funded check from the federal government. And the government requires no proof that the recipient is actually eligible under the law, which illegals are not. Abuse of this tax benefit is one of the most ridiculous examples of fraud adding to our federal deficit today. Equally harmful, it is acting as a powerful incentive for more illegal aliens to come to America. IRS Gives Billions in Tax Refunds to Illegals. Here's how it works. Illegal immigrants cannot qualify for legitimate Social Security numbers, which would entitle them to work legally in the U.S. and file income tax returns, but the Internal Revenue Service allows them to apply for nine-digit individual taxpayer identification numbers, or ITINs, which also are used to file federal income tax returns. In addition, a provision in the tax code permits illegals to claim "additional child tax credits," which grant families $1,000 per "dependent" child. Roughly three-quarters of tax returns filed by illegals include these ACTCs. With the ITIN, illegals are able to get tax credits and refunds for nephews, nieces and other family members who never have touched U.S. soil. Illegal Aliens Getting Bigger Tax Refund Checks. Not only are illegal aliens getting bigger tax refunds this year ... They're claiming the tax credit for kids who live in Mexico — lots of kids in Mexico. California Caves to Illegals. It appears that in California, those who are here illegally get the privileges. Rules and laws that legal residents had to abide by have been changed to accommodate those here illegally. What was once fair and equitable for legal California residents is now not acceptable for illegal immigrants. CBP Director: 'Some of The Safest Communities in America' Are on U.S.-Mexico Border. The U.S. side of the southwest border is home to "some of the safest communities in America," Gene Garza, the director of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)in the Laredo, Texas field office, told lawmakers on Tuesday [5/1/2012]. Garza testified before the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Border and Maritime Security on May 1 at a hearing entitled, "Using Technology to Facilitate Trade and Enhance Security at Our Ports of Entry." Illegals Immigrating Back to Mexico. Illegal Mexican immigrants, or as the Pew Center Research piece described them, "unauthorized," are going back home. In 2011 there were 7.1 million unauthorized Mexican immigrants and last year, the number dropped to 6.1 million. They aren't going back to get into the back of the line. They are going back because they think the American economy has come to the end of its line. Obama Lawyer: Arizona Law Will Result in 'Mass Incarceration'. The lawyer arguing for the Obama administration against provisions in Arizona's controversial immigration law said Wednesday [4/25/2012] that if the U.S. Supreme Court upholds S.B. 1070 "mass incarceration" of Latinos would cause "significant foreign relations problems." During oral arguments before the high court on the law — which allows state police to check the immigration status of individuals stopped, detained or arrested for other reasons — Solicitor General Donald Verrilli responded to Justice Antonin Scalia's remarks that Arizona seems to be merely enacting laws that are already federal statutes. Border Agent Indicted For Violating Illegal Alien's Rights. In almost total secrecy, the Obama Justice Department has charged a U.S. Border Patrol agent, Luis Fonseca, for depriving the rights of a yet to be identified illegal alien at the Border Patrol station located on Imperial Beach, California, last July. Fonseca, however, was not indicted until a week ago. Agent Fonseca, 32, allegedly kneed and choked an unidentified alien during his tour near the Mexican border last summer. During his arraignment on Monday April 16, he entered a not guilty plea. SB 1070 Author: Law Has Already Led to Thousands of Self-Deportations, Lower Crime Rates. As the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments for and against four parts of Arizona's anti-illegal immigration bill, which were signed into law two years ago, its lead author said the six portions that were not blocked by a federal judge have already had a positive impact in the state. Obama Solves Illegal Immigration by Destroying the Economy. The good news is President Barack Obama has solved the illegal immigration problem. According to the Washington Times, a study suggests the outflow of Mexican illegals has exceeded the inflow for the first time since the Great Depression. The bad news is the reason for this outcome is that under Obama there are not enough jobs, even those that native-born Americans will not do. Mexican illegal immigrants are increasingly braving their own country's drug violence in lieu of braving the bad economy in the U.S. Feds can't deport illegal immigrant arrested 35 times in Alabama. Officers in Hueytown [Alabama] arrested an illegal immigrant on drug charges recently. When they ran his name through the system, they learned he had previously been arrested 34 times in Alabama. Despite his record, the government refuses to deport him. IRS Commissioner: Paying Taxes Is Pathway to Citizenship for Illegal Aliens. Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Douglas Shulman said Thursday that paying taxes is a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens. At the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., 12 days before this year's tax-filing deadline (Apr. 17), Shulman was asked about what his agency is doing to collect taxes from illegal aliens. Time for a Military Approach to the Border. The Obama administration claims that the U.S.-Mexican border is more secure today than it has ever been in the last twenty years. However, this ignores the fact that Mexico has higher levels of violence and that sections of the border are controlled by the drug cartels. I went to Arizona to view the border with Colonel Martha McSally, who is running for Gabrielle Giffords's congressional seat, and to talk with ranchers about their border concerns. Is Barack Obama guilty of TREASON? I remember hearing on the various news channels a couple of years ago about small dusty Mexican towns on the border having "human heads" stuck on poles in the middle of the town square. I am sure if you rifle through your memory banks, you will remember these strange stories as well. Those stories prompted me to think "I don't ever remember Mexicans beheading people". Now that little tidbit makes sense. It was Hezbollah doing the head lopping! This is how these people send messages. "If you do not behave, we saw your head off". The bottom line to all this "The President of the United States knew all of this gruesome information"! Obama Admin. Announces Waiver Program For Illegal Immigrants. In a new ploy to push backdoor amnesty, the Obama administration is quietly working to curb the deportation of illegal immigrants by granting "unlawful presence waivers," for which to qualify, an illegal immigrant must be a relative of an American citizen. DHS Uses Wartime Mega-Camera to Watch Border. DHS thinks mega-cameras on blimps and aerostats might be the future of border security — if its analysts can only keep up with the glut of data they'll gather. The Department Of Homeland Security Is Buying 450 Million New 7Bullets. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office is getting an "indefinite delivery" of an "indefinite quantity" of .40 caliber ammunition from defense contractor ATK. U.S. agents will receive a maximum of 450 million rounds over five years, according to a press release on the deal. The high performance HST bullets are designed for law enforcement and ATK says they offer "optimum penetration for terminal performance." The Editor says... If the Immigration and Customs people need that many bullets, I'd say it's time to put the U.S. Army on the Mexican border. Progressive Promotion of Selective Law Enforcement. Last Friday [3/23/2012], the Los Angeles Police Department announced that it would no longer enforce a state law that requires police to impound the vehicles of unlicensed drivers for 30 days. Why? Because the majority of unlicensed drivers in that city are illegal aliens, and the policy purportedly inhibits their ability to get to their jobs. It also imposes an undue burden on them when they attempt to retrieve their vehicles — because they must pay a fine to do so. "It's about fairness. It's about equal application of the law," contends Police Chief Charlie Beck, a man seemingly oblivious to the Orwellian dimensions of such a statement. CASA de Maryland: The Illegals' ACORN. The illegal immigration debate has become an urgent focal point of American politics. Liberal politicians from the White House on down have vigorously advocated for illegal immigrant amnesty and lax border enforcement in a naked attempt to bolster prospective voter rolls. This controversy has been brewing for some time in Maryland, whose Hispanic population more than doubled between 2000 and 2010. Under Governor Martin O'Malley's sanctuary policies the state has become an illegal alien magnet. The current cost of illegals in Maryland is estimated to be $1.7 billion per year, more than three-quarters of the state's $2 billion structural deficit. U.S. Cops In Shoot Out With Mexico Drug Gang Across Rio Grande. U.S. Border Patrol agents and Mexican drug traffickers fought a gun battle across the Rio Grande river in south Texas, authorities said on Friday [3/2/2012], the latest of a spate of cross-border shootings in recent months. Terrorist Fears Will Force Obama to Send Troops to the Border. Given the Administration's pandering to Hispanic voters by allowing loose enforcement of immigration laws against "undocumented workers", there is a growing political danger that Democrats will be destroyed if Iranian agents with the help of Mexican narco-smugglers successfully sneak a biological or dirty bomb across the border before the November elections. Consequently, I believe the Obama Administration will send thousands of U.S. infantrymen to the Mexican border to cut off illegal alien crossings. Please, A Little Honesty About Illegal Immigration. President Barack Obama recently assured El Salvador that the United States would not deport more 200,000 Salvadorans residing illegally in the United States. As the election nears, and the president looks to court Hispanic voters, he also created a new position of "public advocate" for illegal immigrants. His duties would appear to be to advocate that millions circumvent, rather than follow, current federal law.  No More Weapons! I shudder to think what signs we might build on our side. Alabama Tackled Illegal Immigration and Unemployment Started Dropping. Last session, the Alabama Legislature led by Senator Scott Beason (R-Gardendale) sponsored and passed House Bill 56 that essentially upheld the federal law already on the books. Governor Bentley signed the bill. The beast was loosed... National social welfare advocates descended on Alabama like vultures on road kill and the stage was set for an ugly battle. 5 Black Swans That Could Obliterate America's Future. [Scroll down] "According to a 2002 Zogby poll, 58% of Mexicans said that the 'territory of the United States' southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico.'" Mexico, being a bad neighbor, actively encourages both illegal aliens and Mexican-Americans to have their first loyalty to Mexico. This hasn't been a big issue thus far, but we still have porous borders and there's a genuine danger that Mexico could become a failed state. What if the worst happens and we go from 10-12 million illegals in the United States to 25-40 million packed into the southwestern United States in a relatively short period of time? Obama embraces default amnesty. President Obama's State of the Union address — coupled with recent troubling decisions by his administration to expand a pattern of de facto amnesty for illegal immigrants — cemented the unfortunate reality that this president continues intentionally to abdicate a responsibility to advance serious immigration reform. Empty rhetoric, repetitive platitudes and continued support for the already-rejected Dream Act do not make up a comprehensive proposal to this complex policy issue. What Conservatives and the GOP Dare Not Say about Immigration. The fact is that upon being naturalized, our modern-day immigrants generally vote Democrat by wide margins — irrespective of whether upon arrival they were labeled legal or illegal. Massive legal and illegal immigration has already so changed the California electorate that no Republican can be elected statewide anymore. Report: Government Vastly Overstating Immigration Enforcement. A just-released Syracuse University study indicates that the government is overstating its enforcement of the immigration laws by a staggering amount. According to TRAC, Syracuse's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) has overstated the number of immigration law violators apprehended by a 5:1 ratio. And that's the good news. Deportations were overstated by 24:1 and detentions by 34:1. TRAC says that ICE has represented, not only in press releases but in congressional testimony, that in 2005 it apprehended 102,034. The records it produced, however, show only 21,339. It further claimed 166,075 deportations but documented only 6,906; and said it had detained 233,417 when the paperwork shows only 6,778. Five ways Obama weakened America in 2011. Though illegal immigration continues to worsen as drug-cartel-related violence spirals out of control in Mexico and spills across our border, the best Mr. Obama could do was sue Arizona — and Utah and Alabama and South Carolina for implementing tough state laws to deal with this crisis. With 11 million "undocumented" people out of our population of 311 million, that alone is a security crisis deserving of immediate attention — yet one Mr. Obama basically has ignored. Illegal immigrants have no right to arms - court. Illegal immigrants do not have a right to bear arms under the U.S. Constitution, a federal appeals court ruled on Friday [12/16/2011]. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit, based in Missouri, rejected an appeal brought by Joaquin Bravo Flores, who was charged with possessing a firearm. Agreeing with the 5th Circuit, the court concluded that the protections of the Second Amendment do not extend to undocumented immigrants. A.D. 2041 — End of White America? When Texas, where two-thirds of the newborns and half the schoolchildren are Hispanic, goes the way of California, it is the end for the GOP. Arizona, Colorado and Nevada, also critical to any victorious GOP coalition, are Hispanicizing as rapidly as Texas. In every presidential election since Bush I in 1992, Hispanics have given 60-70 percent of their votes to the Democratic ticket. For Hispanics, largely poor and working class, are beneficiaries of a cornucopia of government goods — from free education to food stamps to free health care. Few pay federal income taxes. Why would they not vote for the Party of Government? Rats in the Kitchen: A Parable. Once, there was a man who had to deal with rats when he had a major infestation in his home. The rats' normal environment became unable to support them all, and they began coming down from the hills looking for new digs... and decided they liked the man's house. They were perfectly happy to hunker down in the attic, garage and basement with free access to the goodies in the kitchen and pantry. And once they had moved in and saw what rich booty was to be had, they were determined to take over. Border arrests cut in half under President Obama. The number of arrests for illegal immigration by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection are down 53% since Barack Obama was elected president, that agency reported on Monday [12/12/2011]. The news comes as the president prepares to withdraw troops from the Mexican border — leaving the USA even more vulnerable to infiltration by foreign terrorists. Meanwhile, the frisking of citizens at airports will continue in the name of security. DHS and DOJ ignore the Rule of Law. The New York Times is reporting that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will begin conducting a review of all deportation cases in the immigration courts with the goal of "halting" the deportation "of many illegal immigrants with no criminal record." In other words, this is a back door amnesty by a President desperate to score political points with a constituency critical to his reelection. Case of slain border agent's killers sealed in court. The case against the alleged killers of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry has disappeared from federal court records, apparently sealed by a federal judge. In May, federal prosecutors won an indictment against Manuel Osorio-Arellanes and others, and they announced it with a press release. Only Osorio-Arellanes' name was visible in the indictment, but there were blacked-out words where other defendants' names go. Union: Show evidence against border agent. The union that represents U.S. Border Patrol agents is challenging an effort by Texas prosecutors to block the release of information used to build a successful case against a Border Patrol agent convicted of wielding excessive force, saying the American public has a right to see the evidence. $32,000 Per Illegal Alien? It should come to a shock to the public that Customs and Border Protection paid $240 million for unmanned systems which have only been "credited with apprehending more than 7,500 people since they were deployed six years ago." Is the cost of apprehending a single illegal alien with a Predator really $32,000? Judge OKs American Flag Ban on Cinco de Mayo. Welcome to America, where wearing patriotic clothing can get you sent home from school. Seriously. Remember the case of the California boys who wore American flag apparel on Cinco de Mayo? They were sent home from school for disrespecting Hispanic children on "their day." Sounds like a violation of their First Amendment rights, doesn't it? Apparently not, according to a federal judge. Government fines jailed Border Patrol agent's family. After successfully winning a two-year prison sentence against U.S. Border Patrol Agent Jesus E. Diaz Jr., the Justice Department is now trying to collect a $6,870 fine from his wife, saying it should be paid "immediately" — even though the judge signaled she would have a grace period. In a notice sent last week the Justice Department said the fines were imposed by the court that found Agent Diaz guilty and sentenced him to prison for improperly restraining a 15-year-old suspected of drug smuggling. ICE Ordered Agents Not to Arrest Illegals. Chris Crane, president of the union that represents the nation's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers, has provided the House Judiciary Committee and Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) with what Crane says are internal ICE emails that back up testimony he gave in July and October that ICE headquarters had verbally ordered officers in the field not to arrest illegal aliens who did not have prior criminal convictions — even if they were fugitives evading deportation orders or were individuals who had illegally re-entered the United States after being deported and were thus committing a felony. Border Patrol agents pulled off-task. An immigration enforcement advocacy organization is outraged over the Department of Homeland Security's latest directive the group says appears to be nothing more than an effort to aid illegal immigration. The Associated Press reported recently the DHS issued a directive to U.S. Border Patrol field offices around the country, instructing officers to halt routine checks at transportation hubs that are not "intelligence-driven." Obama Slaps Intimidation Lawsuit on South Carolina Over Illegals. The Obama Justice Department has launched yet another outrageous lawsuit against a state acting within its broad police powers, this time drawing a bead on South Carolina over its immigration law. This administration has already sued Arizona over its SB 1070 in 2010, and Alabama over its recent immigration enforcement measure this summer. The executive branch has now challenged South Carolina's similar law. Congresswoman takes on Napolitano. Florida Republican Rep. Sandy Adams wants answers from Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. Adams says she is not following existing law, which requires the federal government to cut off visas from countries that refuse to re-admit their citizens who have committed crimes while residing in the U.S. illegally. If these countries refuse to take the criminal illegal immigrants back after a six-month "detention period," the U.S government releases them back into U.S. communities. Coddling Illegals, Jailing Agents. Another border patrol agent faces prison after arresting an illegal alien smuggling drugs. When not being killed by guns funneled into Mexico by their own government, they are prosecuted for doing their job. The Risk of Revolution Grows. Americans are slowly waking up to the open warfare from La Raza extremists who are intent on tearing America apart. They are invading us in numbers they hope will force a vote for secession by many Western states. "It can't happen here" is starting to become an obvious farce as the reality sinks in. Yes, "it can happen here." It is happening. Others in South America are recognizing our weakness. The United States of Mexico? American students now pledge allegiance to Mexico. They sing its national anthem. And it is sanctioned by the state of Texas. Sound absurd? It is. Last month in a Spanish class at Achieve Early College High School in McAllen, Texas, students recited the Mexican pledge of allegiance and were instructed to memorize the Mexican anthem. Moreover, they had to wear red, white and green — the colors of the Mexican flag — as they fulfilled their class assignment. Public high schools no longer promote American patriotism, but they are doing a superb job of cultivating loyalty to Mexico. Texas students taught to recite Mexican pledge of allegiance. In the name of educating students about a foreign culture, a teacher in McAllen, Tex., required students in her intermediate Spanish class to memorize and individually recite the Mexican national anthem and pledge of allegiance — but one student objected, catching the attention of the school district and The Blaze, which reported the story this morning [10/17/2011]. Alabama official says tough immigration law leading to 'self-deportation'. Employers in Alabama's Marshall County are hiring new workers following the stepped-up federal and state enforcement of immigration laws. "It is amazing to see the effects" as undocumented workers leave town, said Chuck Ellis, a member of Albertville's city council. Federal judge refuses to block most of Alabama immigration law. In the latest ruling, a Birmingham federal judge this afternoon again upheld most sections of Alabama's tough new immigration law. U.S. District Judge Sharon Lovelace Blackburn this afternoon ruled on a lawsuit filed by a coalition [of] civil rights groups and individuals seeking to block the law. Cook County gets out of the immigration enforcement business. Cook County commissioners took a bold step toward getting local government out of the immigration enforcement business last week by ordering Sheriff Tom Dart to end the practice of holding jail inmates for federal immigration authorities. County officials say this is now the only jurisdiction in the U.S. that won't honor requests by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement to continue detaining suspected illegal immigrants once they've posted bond or completed their court cases on other criminal charges. Democrat Thanks Obama for Bypassing Congress on Immigration Reform. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) thanked President Obama for circumventing the Legislative branch when it comes to immigration law. Title 8 Section 1325 of the U.S. Code makes it a federal crime to be in the United States illegally. Nevertheless, the Obama administration in August directed federal immigration officials to use "prosecutorial discretion" in deciding which illegal aliens to detain and deport. White House Official Compares Illegal Immigration to Jaywalking. Cecilia Munoz, the White House director of intergovernmental affairs, compared the federal crime of being in the country illegally to jaywalking. Boosting only illegal labor. The Labor Department is now zealously protecting the workplace rights of illegal aliens even as it shuts down avenues for people to come to America and work legally. You see, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis has to serve both the liberals' ideological fixation on illegals and labor unions' hostility to any competition. A $4.2 Bil Subsidy For Illegals? If the federal government had actually wanted to encourage illegal immigration, wouldn't a big tax credit be the way to bring them in? Lucky us, that's what the IRS is doing — and with our money. Illegal Workers Used Tax Credit to Pocket $4.2 Billion, Audit Shows. Undocumented workers collected $4.2 billion in a certain tax credit last year, up from less than $1 billion five years ago, according to a new audit. The report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration looked only at a tax benefit known as the Additional Child Tax Credit, a refundable credit meant for working families. The audit found that as a result of vague U.S. law — as well as an expansion of the tax credit in stimulus legislation and other measures — the number of illegal workers collecting the money has skyrocketed. Labor Dept. Will Ensure Illegal Aliens Get Paid Legal Wages in U.S. Jobs. The U.S. Department of Labor told CNSNews.com in a written statement on Wednesday [8/31/2011] that it will enforce the federal wage laws on behalf of anyone working in the United States "regardless of their immigration status." The statement was in response to a written question from CNSNews.com. Coddling Illegals. An administration that conducts raids looking for illegal wood rather than illegal aliens signs partnerships with foreign governments to advise these aliens of their rights. What part of "illegal" don't they get? What good is the ballot box when a judge can override elected representatives? Judge blocks Alabama immigration law. A federal district judge halted Alabama's new immigration law Monday just days before it was to take effect, making it the latest state to see a crackdown law blocked by a court. Free tuition for illegals. Democrats will do anything to pander for Hispanic votes in 2012. They're even in favor of amnesty and cash handouts to illegal aliens, if that's what it takes. The latest scheme from California liberals is a move to force over-burdened taxpayers to foot the bill to put illegals through college. On Thursday [8/25/2011], the California Senate Appropriations Committee passed AB 131, which would allow undocumented pupils to sign up for public financial aid at state schools. At the same time, the Golden State's dire fiscal straits have forced cutbacks in public-education spending for actual citizens. Tossing aside "hope" and "change". Like a dictator currying favor by releasing political prisoners just before an "election," Mr. Obama decided to reject the repeatedly expressed wishes of Congress and halt deportations of illegal immigrants. If you doubt whether this is a shocking and unconstitutional overreach by the president, just ask the great constitutional law scholar himself, Barack Obama. "The idea of doing things on my own is very tempting, I promise you, not just on immigration reform," he said earlier this month in an address to a militant pro-amnesty group. The Mexican military is getting bolder. Mexican military chopper mistakenly lands in Texas. U.S. Customs and Border Protection says the helicopter landed Saturday afternoon [8/6/2011] at Laredo International Airport after the pilot mistook the airport for a landing strip in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. The Editor says... That excuse is extremely hard to believe, unless it was at night, in bad weather, with no GPS. Cities Report Surge in Graffiti. Fresh blotches of graffiti decorate the backs of street signs here near the ocean. Tags have popped up on guardrails along the dirt trails near Griffith Park across town. There are, almost daily, fresh splashes on walls in the San Fernando Valley, on downtown Los Angeles buildings and on billboards along the highways. Liberal Frankensteins. The United States simply cannot afford any longer the $50 billion that flows to Latin America each year in remittances, coupled with multibillion-dollar costs for providing social services to seek parity for illegal aliens, in addition to vast new outlays in education and criminal justice. California elites swear that a multimillion-person community of illegal aliens has nothing to do with our near-bottom ranking in public-school math and science scores, but privately even the most die-hard unionist teachers confess that it does. Senate turns attention to 'back-door amnesty'. Homeland security Secretary Janet Napolitano is in the Senate spotlight today, following revelations yesterday that her deputies in Texas hid their efforts to release hundreds of illegal immigrants facing deportation. DREAM Act Implemented Through Executive ICE Memo. According to our friends over at HotAir.com, the DREAM Act has been rammed through by an ICE Executive Memo despite its rejection by Congress and the American people twice. A memo written by ICE Director John Morton and sent to all agents in charge, chief counsel, office directors and special agents, states ICE doesn't have enough resources to deal with illegal immigrants who happen to be students, and therefore, they should have less of a chance of deportation due to the criteria used when making decisions about who will be deported known as "prosecutorial discretion." If Elected. [Scroll down] I would build a tall fence between the United States and Mexico. Even though we are economic partners in many ways, it has long been Mexico's policy to send its people north so they can take jobs from Americans and send money back to Mexico. That has to stop along with the wholesale invasion of our nation. Illegal aliens would be told they have six months to either apply for naturalization or go home. No more free schooling, hospitals, and welfare. Alabama's Law On Immigrants Tops Arizona's. Alabama has suddenly become the leader in comprehensive immigration reform, passing up Arizona, whose laws have had so much news coverage. By large margins, the Alabama state legislature passed a bill, known as HB56, that covers most areas of abuses by illegal aliens. HB56 requires proof of citizenship or residency before voting, a giant protection against vote fraud. It prohibits aliens not lawfully present in the United States from receiving state or local financial benefits. DNC Chair: Republicans Believe Illegal Immigration 'Should be a Crime'. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D.-Fla.), chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, denounced Republicans last week for believing illegal immigration "should in fact be a crime." "I think the president was clearly articulating that his position — the Democratic position — is that we need comprehensive immigration reform," said Wasserman Schultz at a Christian Science Monitor Breakfast on May 26. Obama Trawling For Hispanic Votes Not Immigration Reform. I'm not being lazy by having others write my column for me this week but I've selected statements from two conservative Hispanics, one a Mexican immigrant and the other a New York Puerto Rican, because they speak very well for all us who love this country and feel blessed to be here. Texas Gov. Perry: Security at Border a 'National Disgrace'. I was very disheartened when the president came into El Paso a couple of weeks ago, had a photo-op out at the city of El Paso and proclaimed that the border was as safe as it's ever been. And that's just nonsense. You ask these men and women who are putting their lives on the line every night, the border patrol agents, the ICE agents, the Texas Department of Public Safety, folks in that helicopter, our SWAT teams that are out there, the local law enforcement. Border security is no laughing matter. President Obama claims the border has never been safer, that his administration has done everything demanded by Republicans, and more, to secure the border, and cites the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports data to prove his point. He even went so far in a speech earlier this week in El Paso to chide his critics, claiming they will never be satisfied, not even with a moat full of alligators. Candidate Obama Secures the Vote of Undocumented Democrats. Presidential candidate Barack Obama, seeking the Democratic Party nomination in 2012, stumped for the illegal alien vote in El Paso, Tex., this week, urging Congress to pass an amnesty bill and hitting Republicans for wanting to build a moat at the border and fill it with alligators. Obama's signature soaring rhetoric extolled the beneficial impact of immigration throughout the history of the United States, citing Einstein and I. M. Pei ... After the inspiring reminder of what America owes to past (legal) immigrants, came the trademark slam, the Alinsky left hook. "At times, there has been fear and resentment directed toward newcomers." Translation: Enforcing immigration law is racist. Obama Brings Non-White Americans Together. Standing at the border with Mexico in El Paso, Texas, on Monday, the U.S. president scoffed at Americans who want a border fence. "You know, they said 'we needed to triple the border patrol,'" he laughed. "Well, now they're going to say we need to quadruple the border patrol, or they'll want a higher fence. Maybe they'll need a moat. Maybe they'll want alligators in the moat. They'll never be satisfied." President's El Paso Immigration Pander. President Obama's El Paso speech delivered the predictable: a call for the same old mass amnesty mix ("comprehensive immigration reform," to open-borders types). And at least for a time, he's put immigration front and center. First, look at Obama's "solution." Government's "threshold responsibility" is "to secure the borders and enforce the law." Obama asserted that his administration has done that. In fact, the Government Accountability Office reports that only 129 of the 2,000 miles of the southern border are under control. Border bluster. Does President Obama want to fix America's broken immigration system — or just score political points? Judging from his trip to Texas Tuesday [5/10/2011], it's hard to see any serious interest from him in reform. And that's a shame. Because, as he himself notes, the status quo is a disaster. Where Obama's Border Lies. As noted in this column last week, Richard Stana, director of homeland security issues for the Government Accountability Office, informed the Senate Homeland Security Committee in March that there are only 129 miles of the 1,954-mile-long U.S.-Mexico border where the Border Patrol can prevent or stop an illegal entry from taking place at the border itself. There are another 744 miles where it can stop an illegal entry at "distances of up to 100 miles or more away from the immediate border." That leaves at least 1,081 miles of border where Homeland Security has anything but "operational control." The Amnesty Bandwagon Rides Again. The public relations campaign for President Obama's latest revival of "immigration reform" makes one thing crystal clear: This is not, and never has been, about homeland security. This is not, and never has been, about economic security. It's about political security, plain and cynical. Texas Moves to Crack Down on Cities Protecting Illegal Immigrants. Four months after Gov. Rick Perry put out an urgent request to wrap up a bill cracking down on cities providing sanctuary to illegal immigrants, the Texas House passed it Monday night [5/9/2011], advancing it to the state Senate, which is expected to approve it and send it to Perry's desk. Obama's illegal alien nation. President Obama is in El Paso Tuesday [5/10/2011] to give a speech on what he calls "the broken immigration system." He'd know because he's the one helping break it. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the Secure Communities program under which local law enforcement must turn over illegal criminals to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for deportation. The agency estimates that local law enforcement arrests over 1 million people a year who are not U.S. citizens. Feds Allow Illegal Aliens to Cross Border 14 Times Before Charging Them With Felony. Sheriff Larry Dever of Cochise County, Ariz., told a House subcommittee today [5/3/2011] that in one U.S. attorney's district in Texas illegal aliens are allowed to be caught rossing the border 7 times before they are charged with a misdeamanor and 14 times before they are charged with a felony. Dever further said the policies call for considering federal human smuggling charges only if at least 6 illegal aliens are being transported. America's Southwest Border Is A 'Threat'. There is growing concern regarding the security of our US-Mexican border. In 2006 our Homeland Security Committee did a report on the issue. It is available on the web site of Congressman Michael T. McCaul of Texas, who is Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, Subcommittee on Investigations. Obama says border is secure enough to begin legalization. Facing a political gridlock that has doomed immigration legislation for years, President Obama, making his first visit to the border since taking office, turned to activists and immigrant-rights supporters across the country Tuesday and said it's now up to them to force Congress to act. The Mexican City That Had More Casualties Than Afghanistan: President Barack Obama's commitment to providing legal status for illegal aliens is reflected in the time he has spent focusing on the country's immigration laws in recent weeks, the White House said on Monday, one day before the president is set to deliver a national address on immigration in El Paso, Texas. El Paso is across the border from Juarez, Mexico, a city where 3,111 civilians were murdered last year — more than in all of Afghanistan. San Francisco to Stop Detaining Arrested Immigrants for Deportation. San Francisco, one of the first sanctuary cities in the nation, plans to end its cooperation with federal immigration officials and start releasing illegal immigrants arrested for minor offenses before they can be picked up for deportation. All Illegal Aliens Must Go. Three weeks have elapsed since the final "hearing" by the governor's kangaroo panel was conducted in Brockton — a town where Maria Palaguachi-Cela's body and that of her 2-year-old son were left in a dumpster, allegedly murdered by multi-time violent offender and illegal alien Luis Guaman. After all that waiting Gov. Patrick on Monday [6/13/2011] sacrificed the safety of his citizens to the sanctity of his illegal alien protection racket constituents, he sacrificed the rule of law to political correctness. Patrick refused to sign on to Secure Communities and has officially made Massachusetts into a sanctuary state. Public School District Violates La Raza Studies Ban. A public school district in Arizona is violating a new state law by continuing a radical La Raza studies program banned under the legislation because it segregates students by race, teaches disdain for American sovereignty and ignites racial hostility. Last year Arizona's legislature passed a measure (HB 2281) banning taxpayer-funded schools from offering classes that are designed for students of a particular race and promote resentment toward a certain ethnic group (in this case whites). However, the Tucson Unified School District, with a largely Hispanic population, has yet to comply with the law which took effect in January. Getting America Back On Track. [Scroll down] The borders must be sealed and illegal aliens must be sent to the back of the immigration line. Every broken promise contained in the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act has brought us to exactly where we are now: having as many as ten times the number of illegals granted amnesty back then (2.7 million) now demanding they be granted the right to live here. In what universe do law-breakers get to demand anything? La Raza Student Mob Shuts Down Tucson School Board Meeting. A group of local La Raza students shut down the Tucson school board meeting. They screamed, chanted and chained themselves to the tables. The young La-Raza activists demanded that an outlawed racist anti-American curriculum be taught at local schools. Importing Disaster: Demographic Changes Mean Democrat Future. As long as we continue our suicidal immigration policies — where 85 percent of newcomers hail from the Third World and Asia (thanks, Ted Kennedy) — the only thing that will be in question about our descent into socialism, and perhaps beyond, is the rate. The Threat Just Inside Our Door. The Defense Department warns that the cartels making Mexico a war zone are operating easily here too. And a secret U.S. report leaked in Mexico warns of even worse. So why isn't anyone talking about it? Not One Mile of Border in His County is Secure, Says Texas Sheriff. Maverick County, Texas Sheriff Tomas Herrera said he does not agree with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's assessment that security at the U.S.-Mexico border is "better than it has ever been." Stealth Amnesty, Minus the Stealth. Last year, there were several leaked memos showing that people inside Obama administration, within both the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Department of Homeland Security, were tossing around ideas for a backdoor amnesty. Described in bureaucrat-speak as "administrative alternatives to comprehensive immigration reform," the idea was to have immigration officials use the discretion they have reserved for hardship cases to effectively amnesty certain subsets of illegal immigrants, such as those who would have benefited from the DREAM Act. (That would be the same DREAM Act Congress has repeatedly failed to pass.) 7 Topics We Can't Have Adult Conversations About in America. [#2] Illegal Immigration: If you try to discuss the problems associated with illegal immigration, the only response is, "You just don't want Hispanics here!" ... Here's the simple reality: Because we have so many poor Hispanic countries near our southern border, the majority of illegal immigrants in this country is ALWAYS going to be Hispanic. We can never seem to get past that fact to really talk about all the other issues associated with illegal immigration. When Will Obama Tell the Truth About What's Going On Along Our Southern Border? At a town hall meeting in Washington, D.C. on Monday, President Obama once again called for comprehensive immigration reform, which would legalize millions of illegal immigrants. Administration officials are now touting their so-called record on immigration enforcement and border security. It seems they are trying to convince the American people that their approach is working and that the legalization of illegal immigrants will fix any lingering problems. Federal Agents Told to Reduce Border Arrests, Arizona Sheriff Says. An Arizona sheriff says U.S. Border Patrol officials have repeatedly told him they have been ordered to reduce — at times even stop — arrests of illegal immigrants caught trying to cross the U.S. border. Cochise County Sheriff Larry Dever told FoxNews.com that a supervisor with the U.S. Border Patrol told him as recently as this month that the federal agency's office on Arizona's southern border was under orders to keep apprehension numbers down during specific reporting time periods. Border Patrol Can Stop Illegal Entries Along Only 129 Miles of the Mexican Border. Richard M. Stana, director of homeland security and justice issues at the Government Accountability Office (which is responsible for "auditing agency operations to determine whether federal funds are being spent efficiently and effectively"), told the Senate Homeland Security Committee yesterday [3/30/2011] that the federal government can actually prevent or stop illegal entries into the United States along only 129 miles of the 1,954-mile-long U.S.-Mexico border. Financial Aid for Illegal Students OK'd. The Assembly Higher Education Committee approved two bills on Tuesday [3/15/2011] allowing college students who are in the state illegally to receive financial aid. Dubbed the California Dream Act, AB130 allows illegal immigrants to receive privately funded college scholarships, and AB131 allows them to receive taxpayer-funded financial aid such as Cal Grants. Currently, illegal students who spend at least three years in California high schools pay only the in-state tuition rate — a significant cost savings over legal citizens from other states who are attending California colleges. That benefit was provided by AB540, which passed in 2001. The Department of Homeland Security and Climate Change? Earlier this year, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano said, "It is inaccurate to state, as too many have, that the border is overrun with violence and out of control." She continued, "This statement — often made only to score political points — is just plain wrong." While I recognize and acknowledge that the secretary and I come from different political parties, I do have to wonder if we live on the same planet. I recently returned from a trip to our southern border and witnessed firsthand the level of violence occurring there. Hours after I left Laredo, the police chief in Nuevo Laredo was murdered. What Mexican Texas Teaches Us about Unbridled Immigration. With the recent demands by Latino illegal immigrants for the passage of the DREAM Act and amnesty, the United States is in a position where Mexico was in 1830 with regard to Texas. The United States had better learn from its annexation of Texas more than 160 years ago and act decisively about this problem. ICE Director: U.S.-Mexico Border Is Secure As It Has Been in 20 Years. When asked if it was necessary to seal the southwest border to combat transnational drug gangs, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton did not directly answer but said the border is more secure now than in the last 20 years and that crime is part of life in the United States. 'Gang Members and Gangsters': Teacher's Letter on Hispanics Sparks Immigration Debate. An Arizona state senator has set off a hot debate over racism and taxpayer-funded education of illegal immigrants with her public reading of a constituent letter that said most Hispanic students "hate America." "Most of the Hispanic students do not want to be educated but rather be gang members and gangsters," said State Sen. Lori Klein on the chamber floor Friday [3/18/2011], quoting from a letter by a Phoenix-area substitute public school teacher sent to Senate President Russell Pearce. "They hate America and are determined to reclaim this area for Mexico." Union: 240 Undocumented Janitors Terminated. Half the workers at a janitorial company operating in the Twin Cities are being fired because they failed to provide documents proving they were legally in the U.S., according to their union. Texas is increasingly urban; Latino. The iconic image of Texas is fading further into history, as new data from the 2010 Census shows that the state is increasingly urban and Latino. Latino's [sic] accounted for two-thirds of the state's growth over the last decade. Latinos now make up 38 percent of the Texas population, up from 32 percent in 2000. Illegals Cost Taxpayers $113 Billion a Year. How in the world can any elected official who claims to be interested in fiscal responsibility blatantly ignore the savings that could be realized by enforcing existing laws and deporting illegal aliens? A Bill to End Automatic Citizenship for Babies of Illegal Immigrants. We may soon reach the last link in "chain migration" as the legislative battle to clarify the 14th Amendment has officially begun. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) has introduced H.R. 140, "To amend section 301 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify those classes of individuals born in the United States who are nationals and citizens of the United States at birth." Upon introduction, it was immediately referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. Normalizing Illegality. A psychologist colleague recently mentioned that he frequently interviews illegal immigrants who are applying for disability payments. Apparently, our state doesn't merely wink at the legal status of applicants, but it provides translators for those who don't speak English. The last such applicant my colleague interviewed had lived in the United States for eleven years. The applicant was neuro-cognitively capable of learning English but had elected not to. Sens. Paul, Vitter introduce citizenship resolution. Two Republican senators are introducing a resolution that would end the constitutional right to citizenship that comes with being born on U.S. soil. Feds Estimate Deportation Costs $12,500 Per Person. A high-level immigration official says it costs $12,500 to arrest, detain and deport each person removed from the U.S. Obama Is Sending DHS to Help Secure Afghan-Pakistan Border. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which by its own admission has thus far failed to control even half of America's nearly 2,000-mile-long border with Mexico, is now sending personnel to Afghanistan to help that country secure its border with Pakistan. The Manhattan Project Of Illegal Immigration. We all are familiar with the debates surrounding illegal immigration: absolute versus flexible laws; amnesty versus deportation or earned citizenship; closed versus open borders; entitlement dependency versus work no one else will do. We also know the debates over the causation of this perfect storm that has resulted in 12 to 15 million illegal aliens residing in the United States. Was it the Right's desire for cheap labor or the Left's wish for more constituents, or both? Illegal aliens are illegal and alien. Are "illegal aliens" simply misunderstood "undocumented immigrants?" The Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) Diversity Committee believes so, and it's engaged in a campaign to "inform and sensitize journalists as to the best language to use when writing and reporting" on the issue. That may sound nice, but there is nothing insensitive about calling a crime a crime. No More Illegal Alien Waivers. Open-borders radicalism means never having to apologize for absurd self-contradiction. The way illegal alien students on college campuses across the country tell it, America is a cruel, selfish and racist nation that has never given them or their families a break. Yet despite their bottomless grievances, they're not going anywhere. The Dangerous Mythology of Immigration. [Scroll down] From the colonial period on, there were standards that immigrants had to meet. Originally addressed at the regional level, then by the states, they were eventually federalized. The immigration stations, such as the one at Ellis Island in New York harbor, were not welcoming centers. They were processing points for the inspection and certification of new arrivals. Individuals with physical or mental problems, or who were known to be criminals in their country of origin, were denied entry. Older or underage family members required sponsorship. All of this was to ensure that the newly arrived immigrants would not be a burden to their new country and could either support themselves or be supported by others. DOJ Gave Millions to Illegal Immigrant 'Sanctuaries,' Report Finds. The Department of Justice has spent tens of millions of dollars this year to compensate more than two dozen states, counties and cities for their costs of jailing illegal immigrants — even though those communities have adopted policies that obstruct immigration enforcement, according to a recently released report. Harry Reid's DREAM Act is America's Nightmare. This slippery piece of legislation will provide an immediate path to citizenship for millions of illegal aliens currently living within our borders granting them benefits paid by our tax dollars and [Senator] Reid is expecting to ram this through the Senate during this lame duck session which should only last for 3 to 4 weeks before the Christmas - New Years' holidays. No lame-duck DREAM Act. Normally, when someone has been fired from a job, he or she is required to pack up all belongings and vacate the premises by the end of the day. That person is no longer accountable and may no longer act in the best interests of the employer. On Election Day, the American people issued pink slips to dozens of members of Congress and sent a clear vote of no-confidence in the party that has been in power for the past two years. But, because the mass firings do not take effect until noon on Jan. 3, defeated and retiring members of Congress remain on the job with essentially no accountability to their constituents. Obama, Hillary ought to be ashamed. [Scroll down] Now, to top everything else, the government has thrown at Arizona, Sec. of State Hillary Clinton sent Arizona's name to the UN Human Rights Commission insinuating that Arizona is abusing the rights of illegal aliens. What rights? These aliens come into this country illegally and are costing Arizona and other states millions of dollars in Medicare, schooling, welfare and whatever else. Except for payroll taxes, they don't pay taxes and what money they do earn, except for living expenses, is sent back to Mexico. U.S. Government Does Not Have 'Effective Control' of the U.S.-Mexico Border. The U.S. government does not have "effective control" of 1,081 miles of the 1,954-mile-long U.S.-Mexico border, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the division of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) responsible for securing the border. California Supreme Court OKs In-State Tuition for Illegal Immigrants. Illegal immigrants can get in-state tuition at California colleges if they graduated from a high school in the state, the California Supreme Court ruled. "The ruling is the first of its kind in the nation," the Los Angeles Times' Maura Dolan and Larry Gordon report, and though just ten other states offer such benefits, this ruling makes challenges to those laws less likely. 'Green' red tape said to hinder Border Patrol. Environmental red tape has at times ensnared the U.S. Border Patrol's efforts to gain control of parts of the U.S.-Mexico border, according to a draft government report that found agents sometimes take a back seat to protecting endangered species in the Southwest's national parks and forests. Environmentalism vs. Border Control: A Complex Battle of Survival. Federal agents must abandon their vehicles and chase drug smugglers and illegal aliens on foot through 40 acres near the Mexican border because of a pond that is home to the endangered desert pupfish. It's part of the agreement between the Homeland Security and Interior departments on how best to protect the ecosystem, frustrating lawmakers who say it also prevents agents from conducting routine patrols. Update: House Advances Bill to Lift Green Rules For Border Patrol. The House Resources Committee on Wednesday [10/5/2011] passed legislation that would allow the Border Patrol to pursue illegal aliens across millions of acres of public property mapped off-limits by federal bureaucrats to protect forests and endangered species. The National Security and Federal Lands Protection Act passed along party lines 26 to 17 and will now be reported to the full House for a vote. Congressman Introduces Bill to Force Obama to Deploy National Guardsmen. Rep. Ted Poe (R.-Texas), who served for 30 years as a Texas prosecutor and judge before being elected to Congress, introduced legislation last week designed to force President Barack Obama to deploy a minimum of 10,000 National Guard troops at the U.S. Mexico border for the specific purpose of patrolling the border and intercepting aliens and smugglers attempting to cross illegally into the United States. Political Correctness: Morality's Poison Pill. How is it that loudly opposing a culture-changing influx of people who brazenly challenge our sovereignty is offensive? Political correctness is how. The unwillingness to aggressively pursue scofflaws is cowardly. In today's feel-good culture, there exists a bigot-card for defined "victim classes" — the brown and black people, the homosexual, and the Muslim. Illegal immigration is hurting this country, and it's an insult to taxpayers; yet year after year, illegal Mexicans crowd jails, upset the teaching process, and increase the cost of medical services. A sane society would act, but "tolerance" precludes sanity, making action untenable. Intolerance, history, fear and the facts about Islam. Because I wrote a column last week on the historic threat of Islam to the West, this week I am dealing with the usual accusations of intolerance and Islamophobia. If you believe my accusers, it turns out I am a bad person because I have actually tried to inform myself about the history of Islam in the West, the basic tenets of the religion, and the danger they pose when unopposed. All Texas counties join ICE immigrant checks. All 254 Texas counties are now signed up for a federal government program that automatically checks the immigration history of suspects booked into jails and prisons. Texas is the first state in the country to have all of its counties on board with the Secure Communities program, which first was launched in Harris County's jail in 2008 and since has been implemented in 658 additional jurisdictions nationwide, said Gregory Palmore, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman. Immigration Doublespeak. In public, the Obama administration boasts of being tough on illegal immigration. "We're trying to put our money where our mouth is," Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) director John Morton told the Washington Post in a story claiming that deportations are rising. "You've got to have aggressive enforcement against criminal offenders. You have to have a secure border. You have to have some integrity in the system." Yet in private, the discussion among Obama appointees often turns to ways they can use their administrative powers to give illegal immigrants work permits and an interim legal status, even if Congress does not go through the formality of passing "comprehensive immigration reform." In fact, getting around the democratically elected legislative branch's intransigence seems to be the point. [Emphasis added.] TSA Clears Flight Training For Illegal Immigrants. As a result of the 2001 massacre, the government supposedly implemented strict security measures to prevent undocumented foreigners from training at American flight schools. Incredibly, illegal immigrants still get cleared to take flight lessons because the Homeland Security agency (TSA) that approves candidates doesn't bother checking the central agency's immigration database when it screens foreign flight-school applicants. That means flight schools throughout the U.S. could easily be filled with undocumented foreigners that could represent a national security threat. The Delusional Dems. Much has been written about American voters reacting negatively to the Obama-Reid-Pelosi lurch to the left with the bailouts, the stimulus, the financial "reform" and, most of all, the crazy idea that government can borrow and spend our way to prosperity. But there is another cause of the Democrats reversal of fortune that is rarely explored by pundits left or right. It is the Obama jihad against Arizona for daring to take action to enforce America's border with Mexico. Send in the Marines and Take Control of Our Borders! Even in normal times, it is insane for a nation to have open borders where anyone for any reason can enter without restrictions. Then when you consider a time of war, national pestilence, or terror, it is doubly insane to permit unrestricted entry into a nation. That's about where the U.S. is today. Illegal alien "visa overstays" escape detection. Each year, millions of visitors, foreign students, and immigrants come to the United States. Foreign visitors may enter on a legal temporary basis — that is, with an authorized period of admission that expires on a specific date — either with temporary visas (generally for tourism, business, or work) or, in some cases, as tourists or business visitors who are allowed to enter without visas. Solving the Obama Problem. [Scroll down] Some would go even further. Former Colorado representative Tom Tancredo has cited the president's refusal to enforce immigration law as an impeachable offense, and Arizona state senator Russell Pearce, in a recent interview, has strongly — "absolutely" is the word he used — concurred. "Five to ten thousand folks come across that border daily," he declares, "and what's coming across — 20 percent have criminal convictions — are gang members, drug smugglers, human smugglers, child molesters, rapists. It's an invasion. It's in violation of the Constitution. Yes, it's impeachable. He [Obama] not only neglects to do it, now he's refusing to do it. It's impeachable." The Gray Area Between Black and White. Euphemisms are going to be the death of us because their usage tends to transmogrify reality. If you are a citizen of this country, the United States is your home! When someone breaks into your home, he should be referred to as a lawbreaker, not stroked and coddled like a lost pet that strayed into your yard. Would a burglar, walking along the street with your television on his shoulder, be called an undocumented shopper? By what stretch of the imagination is the word "illegal" a term that describes hatred for an ethnic group? Let's get real! The fact is that these are red herring tactics used by those trying to defend an indefensible position. Dismantling America. Now there is leaked news of plans to change the immigration laws by administrative fiat, rather than Congressional legislation, presumably because Congress might be unduly influenced by those pesky voters — with their Constitutional rights — who have shown clearly that they do not want amnesty and open borders, despite however much our betters do. If the Obama administration gets away with this, and can add a few million illegals to the voting rolls in time for the 2012 elections, that can mean reelection, and with it a continuing and accelerating dismantling of America. Obama's Imperial Presidency. In the words of our second president: We are a government of laws, not of men. ... Regrettably, President Obama is endangering this venerable tradition by deliberately and systematically seeking to expand executive power well beyond its proper boundaries. In the process, he is trampling both the constitutional authority of Congress and the sovereign rights of the states. This bold power grab is directed at immigration, which is predominantly a domestic-policy matter, where unilateral presidential authority is inherently weak. Obama's efforts appear to be driven by crass political considerations, making them all the more unprecedented and unfortunate. Gallup: Only 29 Percent of Americans Approve of Obama's Handling of Immigration. As the Senate reconvened on Thursday, taking a rare break from its August recess to pass a $600-million bill to fund border security provisions that had passed in a specially-reconvened-session of the House on Tuesday, new numbers from the Gallup Poll showed that only 29 percent of Americans approve of the way Obama is handling the immigration issue. Illogical Immigration. Some 11 million to 15 million illegal aliens are now residing in America, most after crossing into America unlawfully. Once a federal law is arbitrarily not enforced, all sorts of bizarre paradoxes arise from that original contradiction. Perry Calls Troops to Border a "Fraud" After Visit With Obama. Gov. Rick Perry on Monday [8/9/2010] called the recent deployment of 286 National Guard troops to Texas a "fraud" and said Texans should look to history to fully appreciate the extent of the danger lurking south of the border. Agents' union disavows leaders of ICE. The union that represents rank-and-file field agents at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has unanimously passed a "vote of no confidence" for the agency's leadership, saying ICE has "abandoned" its core mission of protecting the public to support a political agenda favoring amnesty. Race realist Jared Taylor declares the "civil rights struggle was won long ago". Some of the interests of whites are obvious. The first is not to be reduced to a minority. Most whites don't want this but they dare not say so for fear of being accused of "hate." Hispanics, on the other hand, are constantly rejoicing in their increased numbers and influence, and it is considered natural for them to look forward to eventually become a majority. Their gain is our loss, so why are they allowed to be happy about their gain but we are not allowed to resist our loss? As with the Gulf oil spill, Obama responds reluctantly and lethargically: National Guard deployment to border to take weeks, White House says. The National Guard, which officials had announced would turn out en masse along the U.S.-Mexico border over the weekend for sentry duty, was nowhere to be found Sunday [8/1/2010]. It turns out it will take weeks longer to select, screen and train the 1,200 National Guard troops the Obama administration had said would be deployed on Aug. 1 along the border from California to Texas. Is 'Consent Of The Governed' Thing Of Past? Last week, a draft memo surfaced from the Homeland Security Department suggesting ways to administratively circumvent existing law to allow several categories of illegal immigrants to avoid deportation and, indeed, for some to be granted permanent residency. Most disturbing was the stated rationale. This was being proposed "in the absence of Comprehensive Immigration Reform." In other words, because Congress refuses to do what these bureaucrats would like to see done, they will legislate it themselves. Obama's Immigration Power Play. Last week, the Obama administration got Clinton-appointed Judge Susan Bolton to at least temporarily throw out key provisions of Arizona's immigration law. Within 24 hours came more evidence that they weren't done eviscerating immigration enforcement yet. That proof came in the form of an astonishing internal memo outlining ways the United States Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS) could effectively legalize at least tens of thousands of illegal immigrants even if Congress fails to enact amnesty. White House provides back-door amnesty. Congress demurred from taking up President Obama's immigration reform because voters were angry enough with Obamacare's passage. But a recently released memo from U.S. Citizens and Immigration Services officials reveals the contempt with which the administration holds these voters. Outlining ways in which the government can provide "relief" to illegal immigrants, the memo suggests delaying deportation for some (perhaps even indefinitely) or granting green cards to others. Backdoor Amnesty. Polls show Democrats have decisively lost the debate over granting amnesty to illegals. But has that stopped them? Hardly. Using the federal bureaucracy as their agent, they plan to do it anyway. 'Administrative alternatives' = stealth amnesty. Obama administration officials are now busy distancing themselves from a controversial draft memorandum outlining various ways to bypass Congress and administratively grant amnesty to tens of thousands of illegal immigrants. But the leaked internal memo has struck a nerve in the body politic precisely because it is only the latest of a growing list of examples of the Obama White House seeking to circumvent the popular will. Administration considers going around Congress to let illegal immigrants stay. The Obama administration, unable to push an immigration overhaul through Congress, is considering ways it could go around lawmakers to let undocumented immigrants stay in the United States, according to an agency memo. Bullets across the U.S.-Mexican Border. Whether one favors blanket amnesty for undocumented workers, mass deportation of illegal aliens, or something in between, all Americans should worry about what is happening on our southern border. The situation has devolved into bedlam, and grows more lethal daily. Pacifying the frontier has nothing to do with anti-Hispanic racism and everything to do with national security. Amnesty By Executive Fiat. The Obama administration cannot legalize the entire illegal immigrant population this way, much less put them on a path to citizenship. But it is a democratically unaccountable start. The Truths We Dare Not Speak About Illegal Immigration. We are in revolutionary times when the law is a malleable thing, its validity predicated only on its perceived social utility at any given moment. This is how nations are lost. Why make it easy for illegal aliens? Arizona made a collective decision that it did not want to make it easy for illegal immigrants to stay in the state or country. Its legislature and governor concluded that since illegal immigrants have no right to be in the United States, they also have no right to be in Arizona. This would seem to be a self-evident truth. Yet the attorney general of the United States, and the president he serves, complained that Arizona was making it too hard for illegal immigrants to stay in the country. They figure that if it is easy for illegal immigrants to stay in one state; it should be easy in every state. 18 arrested in raid at Houston flea market. Federal agents on Saturday raided a Houston flea market and arrested 18 suspects wanted in connection with selling fraudulent documents, authorities said. More than 100 federal agents and local police served the federal arrest warrants Saturday afternoon at the Sunny Flea Market, located on Airline Drive near Gulf Bank Road. Immigration, Reconsidered. While the Obama administration has chosen the southern side in the Mexican-Arizonan border war, most Americans stand with their countrymen. They are troubled by the strain illegals place on services, the drugs and thugs moving north, and blue-collar job prospects moving south. Then there is another factor: the political and cultural one. It's well known that, should amnesty be granted to the 12 to 30 million illegals living among us, Barack Obama and his fellow travelers would capture virtually all their votes. Moreover, given the illegals' allegiance to their homelands and today's multiculturalist message, it's clear that even if they do learn English, "assimilation" won't be high on their vocabulary list. Monumental piles of trash. Fifteen large garbage bags fill the beds of two pickup trucks after one morning spent cleaning up the desert. The mess consists of backpacks, shirts, shoes, toiletries, pants, plastic bags, water bottles, ID cards, letters, photographs, bandages and aspirin, left behind by people crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Interns for the Bureau of Land Management clean up the Ironwood Forest National Monument as part of their duties. Obama's Lawlessness on Immigration. It is becoming increasingly clear that, when it comes to illegal immigration, the Obama Administration has a disturbingly cavalier approach to what the law requires. Three recent examples illustrate his disdain for the plain meaning of the law. Undocumented Immigrants Increasingly Filling Arizona Prisons. New data from the Arizona Department of Corrections shows that undocumented immigrants are increasingly over-represented in the state's prison population. In June 2010, undocumented immigrants represented 14.8 percent of Arizona state prisoners, but accounted for only 7 percent of the state's overall population according to the Department of Homeland Security. Amnesty bill to be blurred with Gay marriage and 'freedom rights'. A leak, who is very reliable, has revealed from behind closed doors the intentions from this progressive congress and Obama. There is a Bill in the Works that will blur the controversial, gay marriage issue with illegal alien rights and amnesty. This administration and congress plans to hide behind 'freedom' and are obtaining huge support from the gay community, naturally in the name of freedom regarding this soon to be exposed Bill. You and I have just gotten a sneak peak as to the next 'Rules for Radicals trick' as it is unfolding. Welfare of pronghorn still trumps border enforcement. As I reported back in February, the Interior Department has been using a 1964 environmental law to block the Border Patrol from building communications towers along the southwestern border in Arizona. The towers are part of a virtual fence that would be used to intercept illegal immigrants, drug smugglers and human traffickers who are increasingly using protected federal wilderness areas to sneak over the border. Five months later, nothing's changed. You're a Liberal/Progressive if You Believe... "legal" and "illegal" alien are interchangeable terms. You also think the federal government should be siding with illegal aliens against the people of Arizona because those people have no business protecting their lives and property, even though the federal government refuses to do it. For you, any attempt to restrict illegal immigration is inherently racist. One Business Filed 37,375 Bad W-2 Forms — and Is Getting Away With It. A single employer filed 37,375 W-2 forms in tax year 2005 on which the Social Security Number and the name did not match. These "no-match" W-2 forms often — but not always — represent an illegal-alien worker fraudulently using someone else's Social Security number or a fake number. An employer who files 37,375 no-match W-2s in one year is almost certainly employing many thousands of illegal aliens — and knows it. Yet there is no indication our federal government has taken any action to stop this employer from continuing to employ mass numbers of illegal aliens. Further thoughts about immigration, 'racism,' and political correctness. [Scroll down] 1. The United States is a sovereign country whose duty to its citizens includes protecting the country's borders and ascertaining that its extraordinarily generous immigration policy is not abused. 2. There has been massive illegal immigration from Mexico that has sorely tested the social fabric of the Southwest, threatening to turn large parts of the region into what Victor Davis Hanson has called "Mexifornia." 3. Individual states, especially those bordering Mexico (though let's not forget Rhode Island!), have a duty to enforce the immigration laws and discourage illegal immigration. Parents deliver US citizenship. Wang Rong, who is six-months pregnant, is about to leave Beijing for California so she can give birth to her baby in the United States and give the child its first gift — US citizenship. The special delivery will cost Wang and her husband, both white-collar workers in the capital, 100,000 yuan ($15,000), but they say it is money well spent. Shootout At El Paso City Hall. In his speech Thursday, President Obama assured us that our "southern border is more secure today than at any time in the past 20 years." So why is El Paso's City Hall taking fire from Mexico? The Left-Fascist Axis Again. [Scroll down] So here are two ways to simplify the daily media circus. First, the media are the cult of the Left, trying to twist your mind. The "Left" equals global totalitarianism, which is Stalinism, which is Leninism, which is radical feminism, which is the hateful racism of the Reverend Wright and Louis Farrakhan. Same story, different labels. Keep it simple. Whatever mask they try on, radical leftists are internationalists — meaning that they are against America as a sovereign nation. That's Obama's real beef against us, and it's why he will never enforce our borders. Barack Obama: Securing the border, one sign at a time. I say it is better to be defeated than to be duped and defeated. When it comes to the issue of border security Barack Obama is attempting poorly crafted chicanery on the citizens of this country. Obama is not the first to fail the American people on this issue, but he is the first to fail them in such an insulting manner. Dallas County sheriff's jail guard arrested for being in country illegally. A Dallas County sheriff's jail guard was arrested at work this morning [7/9/2010] by federal immigration officers for being in the country illegally and faces deportation, county and federal officials said. If You Want to Immigrate Here. If you come here to assimilate, you will learn to speak English, to pledge allegiance to our flag, to serve in our military if necessary — to do what natural-born citizens do, because it is our obligation. If you're not willing to be an American, then go back to where you came from. We owe you nothing. And that goes for those who were born here and believe that our government owes them a free income and free benefits. The Southern Border Could Get Much Worse. [Scroll down] If the Mexican drug cartels stop fighting each other and unite, this scenario could rapidly become a catastrophe. Imagine a wave of violent drug cartels overrunning the border, crossing in Nogales and then the entire town. The most frightening thing is that the scenario is entirely plausible. With a foothold in the USA, the flood of people and narcotics would be virtually unstoppable, and we would end up with an urban war in our own borders. El Paso City Hall Takes Cross-Border Fire, MSM Yawns. On Tuesday [6/29/2010], seven bullets believed to have been fired from one or more AK-47s from across the border hit the El Paso City Hall. It was big news in the Texas border town right across the river from Juarez, Mexico, but it earned a collective yawn from the national MSM. Obama builds the crisis, not a fence. In the ongoing chronicle of our broken southern border, Arizona's Republican Sen. John Kyl charged late last month that in a recent one-on-one meeting, Mr. Obama told him if he takes steps to secure the boundary between the U.S. and Mexico, Republicans would be less likely to support comprehensive immigration reform, and therefore he would not do so. Politics: 1, national security: 0. What You're Not Hearing from the Liberal Media About Immigration Reform: A popular narrative about immigration reform has emerged in the media: that Congress would be discussing comprehensive immigration reform right now if only President Obama could get support from Republicans. This narrative lets Obama off the hook for a string of broken promises to Latino voters that he would tackle immigration reform — in his first 100 days, or in his first year in office, or before the midterm elections, or after the midterm elections but still in his first term, or in his second term. Mexico Unmasked. [Scroll down] Meanwhile the influx of Mexican refugees is characterized as "immigration" even though the entire process is a result of repeated Mexican governments' inability and unwillingness to provide for the welfare of their own people. What originated as a migrant labor issue was converted into population relocation. To use President Calderon's own logic, the so-called need for American immigration reform is really a demand that the United States solve the economic and social problems of Mexico by allowing millions of his countrymen to reside in and be cared for by the U.S. Throwing Rocks. [Scroll down] Law enforcement officers in the U.S. are taught that if they determine that their life or that of another is in danger, they are authorized by law to use deadly force. They are taught to aim their weapon at the center of the target and fire until there is no longer a threat. With an accurate perspective on the matter of throwing rocks, it is clear that the Border Patrol agent did what was necessary to protect his own life as well as that of the young Mexican he had detained. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer says new border signs are an outrage. Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is calling a new border security initiative an outrage. In a campaign video posted on YouTube Friday [6/25/2010], Brewer stood in front of what she called newly posted signs by President Obama's administration about the Arizona desert being an active drug and human smuggling area. "Washington says our border is as safe as it has ever been," Brewer said. "Does this look safe to you?" Sen. Kyl: 'Obama Says No Border Security without Amnesty'. In a stunning revelation at an Arizona town hall meeting this past Friday [6/18/2010], Republican Senator Jon Kyl told his constituents that President Obama privately insisted that he will not secure the border until amnesty for illegal aliens passes first. According to Kyl, Obama argued that Democrats would lose their bargaining chips for any type of amnesty if the government beefs up its presence on the chaotic border. Impeachment Time? Obama Holds Border Security Hostage. President Obama told a U.S. senator he will refuse to do his duty and enforce America's immigration laws unless Congress cuts a deal with him to allow amnesty for illegal aliens. The president told Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) that he will not make efforts to secure America's porous borders until such time as Congress passes an amnesty for the estimated 12 million illegal aliens in the country, Connie Hair of Human Events reports. Arizona Park a 'No-Go' Zone for American Citizens. The Sonoran Desert National Monument is so overrun with drug gangs that the U.S. Bureau of Land Management has closed the road into the park. Obama Courts Latinos by Suing Arizona. Why is President Obama suing to invalidate the Arizona law on illegal immigration? Why is he incurring the enmity of even his own Democratic congressmen from the Phoenix and Tucson areas by trying to kill a law that two-thirds of Arizona and a similar proportion of America as a whole supports? The answer: It is a desperate, last-ditch attempt to rebuild his sagging popularity with America's Hispanic voters. Lawmakers on the local level take matters into their own hands. In the absence of any real action by the Obama administration to crack down on illegal immigration, cities and towns across the U.S. are taking matters into their own hands. Arizona's immigration law is case in point, but it doesn't stop there. While many cities are calling for boycotts of all things Arizona (Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, to name a few), some in states around the country are following its lead in combating illegal immigration. Reduced overtime stymies Border Patrol. The U.S. Border Patrol has quietly reduced its current force of available agents along the U.S.-Mexico border by cutting the overtime hours they can work even as the Obama administration is asking Congress for hundreds of millions of dollars to hire 1,000 new agents, and Congress and the public are clamoring for beefed-up border security. The U.S. Department of Illegal Alien Labor. President Obama's Labor Secretary Hilda Solis is supposed to represent American workers. What you need to know is that this longtime open-borders sympathizer has always had a rather radical definition of "American." At a Latino voter registration project conference in Los Angeles many years ago, Solis asserted to thunderous applause, "We are all Americans, whether you are legalized or not." Amnesty by Executive Order? According to NumbersUSA, rumors are swirling around Capitol Hill that the Obama administration may provide amnesty for the country's 11-18 million illegal aliens via executive order. Senators warn Obama: 'No amnesty by presidential fiat'. Amid buzz that President Obama may be seeking to parole or "defer action" on millions of illegal aliens in the U.S., eight Republican senators are warning the president not to advance any such plan. "There's a lot we can agree on when it comes to dealing with the immigration problems in the United States, but this appears to be amnesty in disguise, and is simply an attempt to circumvent Congress," Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said in a statement. Senators Challenge Pres. Obama on Rumors of Executive Order Amnesty. Several Senators have learned of a possible plan by the Obama Administration that would provide a mass Amnesty for the nation's 11-18 million illegal aliens. Led by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), eight Senators addressed a letter to the President asking for answers to questions about a plan that would allow DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano to provide an amnesty if they can't secure enough votes for a bill in the Senate. President Considers Executive Order for Blanket Amnesty for Illegal Aliens. As if the President's Lifestyle Behavior Modification mandate wasn't enough, an Iowa Politics press release indicates that President Obama's administration is considering signing a new executive order that will essentially give immediate amnesty to immigrants who reside in the United States illegally. Obama's Open Border Plan. Yesterday [6/21/2010], seven Republican Senators issued a letter to Barack Obama questioning a proposed executive order that could potentially not only grant mass amnesty to the nation's illegal alien population, but also allow new immigrants into the country. Source: Administration Weighs Bypassing Congress to Let Illegal Immigrants Stay. The Obama administration has been holding behind-the-scenes talks to determine whether the Department of Homeland Security can unilaterally grant legal status on a mass basis to illegal immigrants, a former Bush administration official who spoke with at least three people involved in those talks told FoxNews.com. Inhofe: Obama trying to grant amnesty by executive order. [Scroll down] I spoke with Senator James Inhofe, Oklahoma Republican and one of the signers of the letter, on Thursday night [6/24/2010] about the matter. He noted that while nothing has been confirmed on the president's end, he confirmed he signed the letter to the president. He also said: "By executive order, he's trying to do what should be done legislatively in terms of amnesty for a group of people who would otherwise not be entitled to it, and I'm opposed to that. At the time the letter was sent, he was either in the process of doing it or he's already done it. I can't tell you which." Homeland Security Denies Interest in Blanket Amnesty for Illegals. The Department of Homeland Security on Friday [6/25/2010] denied any plans to grant blanket amnesty to the "entire illegal immigrant population," following claims from senators and others that the Obama administration has been holding behind-the-scenes talks to craft a gameplan for mass legalization. The concern is that DHS, in a bid to bypass Congress, would extend what is known as deferred action or parole — actions usually taken on a case-by-case basis — to millions of illegal immigrants at once. Obamnesty First, Security Second? Every nation has a right to protect its borders, and our commander in chief has a duty to protect ours. Refusal to do so for political reasons is unconscionable. Our border states should not remain exposed to the escalating violence of a Mexican drug war that has already claimed the life of one Arizona rancher. The murderers of Robert Krentz escaped to a protected pronghorn antelope area that the Interior Department of Secretary Ken Salazar had placed off limits to U.S. border patrol agents in order to protect endangered species. Border Patrol Charged Millions for Habitat Damage, Republicans Say Enough 'Extortion'. Republican lawmakers are calling on the Interior Department to stop charging what they describe as "extortion" money from the Border Patrol — millions of under-the-radar dollars meant to cover environmental damage stemming from their everyday duties along the U.S.-Mexico border. Terrorists crossing AZ border into U.S.? On a single day in April, in a special cell block deep inside the Pinal County Jail, nearly 400 inmates sat awaiting trial or extradition after being detained trying to cross the Arizona border from Mexico. Only about half of them were actually from Mexico. ... On that one day in April, according to records obtained by [KNXV-TV], Homeland Security officials were holding inmates from Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, Lebanon, and the Sudan. Where are the promised border troops? Last month, President Barack Obama promised to deploy 1,200 National Guard troops to the Southwest border. Sen. John McCain said that 1,200 was "not good enough" and got the Senate Armed Services Committee to approve 6,000 troops. At least that is what we are being told, again and again, in a McCain campaign commercial. So when do the soldiers get here? White House says Kyl is lying about security. A few days ago, Arizona Republican Sen. Jon Kyl told a town meeting in North Phoenix that President Obama personally told him that the administration will not secure the U.S.-Mexico border because doing so would make it politically difficult to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Who Owns the Land, Anyway? Following the Mexican War (1846-1848), the United States annexed one-third of Mexico's territory. If you count Texas, whose admission to the union in 1845 largely precipitated the war, we took well over half of Mexico. That would include Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah. So who holds title to ... this place we call home? To start with the American Southwest, let's assume for the moment that the irredentists are right and that it should be ceded to Mexico. What gives the Mexican government a claim to this portion of the earth? This was Mexico for a mere 27 years — just a single generation. In 1821, one could argue, the Mexican colonists stole New Spain from the Spanish, who had claimed title to it for nearly three centuries. Indian reservations on both U.S. borders become drug pipelines. Traffickers in Mexico and Canada increasingly are using Indian reservations along the borders as conduits for bringing marijuana, Ecstasy and other illicit drugs into the U.S. The drug gangs take advantage of weak and underfunded tribal police forces and the remoteness of tribal lands, and they find that high unemployment rates and resentment of federal law enforcement agencies make some young native Americans ready allies. Club Fed for Illegal Aliens. [Scroll down] Among the p.c. makeover measures under consideration or about to be made by Obama's ICE agency in the next 30 days: — "Softening" the physical appearance of privately contracted detention facilities with "hanging plants." — Giving illegal alien detainees e-mail access and free Internet-based phone service. — Abandoning lockdowns, lights-out, visitor screening and detention uniform requirements. — Serving fresh veggies and continental breakfast and providing Bingo sessions, arts and crafts classes, and, yes, movie nights. Obama Orders Dance Classes, Movie Nights, and Bingo for Illegal Detainees. The Houston Chronicle reports that the Obama administration has ordered the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department to implement multiple modifications to their facilities to make life easier, more comfortable, and pleasant for the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants (approximately 400,000) it detains annually. The Editor says... The quickest way to stop illegal immigration from Mexico is to make the trespassers' experience here unpleasant, unrewarding and unsatisfactory in every way. Mr. Obama is taking exactly the opposite approach. Fun Times for Illegal Alien Detainees. Cooking classes, dance instruction, movie nights and bingo games — it sounds like amenities on a cruise ship or a resort summer camp, but these recreational offerings are some of the coming attractions for illegal aliens held at select federal detention centers. The preliminary agreement between Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its contractor for numerous detention centers, Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), also calls for detainees to receive laptop computer training, access to legal materials, e-mail and phones, and to participate in arts and crafts programs as well as exercise and walking classes. Remember the Alamo. It's easy to understand why Mexico President Felipe Calderon spoke out against Arizona's new immigration law, if you follow the money. Illegal immigrants in America send roughly $1 billion in untaxed U.S. dollars a month back to Mexico. Without this money, Mexico would collapse. Oh wait a minute, Mexico is collapsed... Frenchwoman fined for driving wearing veil. French police have fined a woman driver for erratic driving caused by her Islamic headscarf, just weeks after a similar incident sparked a major political row. This Is the Way Sovereignty Ends. The indomitable Sarah Carter (winner of the 2006 Katz Award for Excellence in the Coverage of Immigration) reports on plans for a satellite Mexican consular office on Catalina Island to issue ID cards to illegal aliens. This kind of thing has been going on for some time now, but this part got my attention: ["] Officers with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said their agency was asked by Mexican officials not to enforce U.S. immigration laws on the island while the cards were being issued.["] The administration's immigration radicalism. The Obama administration wants to use the Supreme Court to enact an immigration agenda so radical that even the Democratic majority in Congress doesn't want to touch it. In a brief to the Supreme Court last Friday [5/28/2010], acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal argued that one type of unlawful conduct must never be considered when denying business and professional licenses. The special exemption is for crimes involving those who illegally sneak over the border. Leave Arizona Alone. As a nation of immigrants, we are pro-immigrant, but anti-illegal immigration. We have as much right as any other land to control our own borders and to expel anyone who comes here in a less than legal manner. If you want in, get in line with the rest of the law-abiding people, pay your fees, and don't come here demanding what your own homeland won't provide for you. 4 Immigration Issues That Are Too Hot To Handle. [#1] The Melting Pot is Broken. Anybody who comes to the United States should adopt our culture, learn our language, and be loyal to our country. With past generations of immigrants, that happened. Even if the first generation had a little trouble learning the language or wasn't very educated, we could be confident that the next generation would fully assimilate into our culture and move onwards and upwards. Immigration and Liberty. There are close to 7 billion people on our planet. I'd like to know how the libertarians answer this question: Does each individual on the planet have a natural or God-given right to live in the U.S.? Our Founders' Solutions for Illegal Immigration. Now more than ever, we must protect our borders and sovereignty, by providing genuine solutions to the dangers of American boundary fluidity. With estimates showing that by 2060 America will add 167 million people (37 million immigrants today will multiply into 105 million then), it is imperative for us to do more to solve this crisis. Now is the time to beat the doors of change and save the boundaries and future of America. Our Founders' Illegal Immigration Solutions, Part 2. President Calderon, how can you possibly criticize the state of Arizona about its newly passed immigration law, when Mexico's immigration law states: — Immigrants can't be an economic burden. — Immigrants must be healthy. — Immigrants must have no criminal record. — Immigrants must show a birth certificate. — Immigrants must provide their own health care. — Government can ban foreigners due to race. — Illegal entry is a felony (resulting in jail time). Hypocrisy On ICE. As the administration condemns Arizona for cracking down on illegals, it's training Arizona to do just that. It's called the ICE 287(g) Program. Two Years After Strict Immigration Reform, Oklahoma Is More Than OK. The state's economy is far outperforming most of the country, and it appears to trace back to the passage of their illegal immigrant crackdown. Our Busted Deportation System Strikes Again. Wouldn't it be grand if the Obama administration cared more about policing our borders than about policing our refrigerators? How about fixing our deportation system instead of fixing our junk-food diets? First Lady Michelle Obama argued this week that obesity is a "national security" issue. But her husband allows far greater threats to go unabated. The Real Reason the Left Loves Illegals. The history of the left in this country is a history of division. Whatever conflict was current — labor vs. management, class vs. class, race vs. race — there you'd find the left, stirring things up in order to derive as much political benefit as possible. A workable democratic system demands a willingness to seek consensus and engage in compromise. The left prefers Balkanization and permanent conflict. Texas Should Be Leading The Charge. This whole "Boycott Arizona" garbage is getting to the point of ridiculous. Are we so "PC" that the fear of insulting the good integrity of those fine, upstanding and law-abiding ILLEGAL aliens pouring into America has caused everyone to go completely nuts over — and totally blind to — a much needed law that deals with these criminals? AZ governor now targets ethnic studies. Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, already under fire for approving the nation's toughest illegal immigration law, has again run afoul of liberal activists, signing a bill Wednesday that targets ethnic studies programs in schools that critics say unfairly demean white Americans. The law, which takes effect Dec. 31, would prohibit courses that promote resentment toward one race; that are designed for students of one race; that promote ethnic solidarity "instead of treating students as individuals;" and that encourage "the overthrow of the United States government." Americans Fleeing Border Invasion. They spent ten winters hunting quail in the sun. But those halcyon days ended last week for Terrie and Glen Stoller. Smugglers — armed, numerous, and brazen — have frightened them off their southeast Arizona property. The couple is selling their home, 45 miles north of the Mexican border in the notorious Chiricahua Corridor. Obama Dishonors Memory of Murdered Rancher Rob Krentz. Despite the murder of Robert Krentz and the general drug-smuggling and killing carnage taking place at the U.S.-Mexico border, President Obama welcomed Mexican President Felipe Calderon to the White House on May 19 by stating that the relationship between America and third-world Mexico is not defined by the border. Go back to Mexico. Mexico's President Felipe Calderon ought to know a lot about illegal immigrant abuse. His country has one of the worst migrant human-rights records in the world. During his state visit last week, Mr. Calderon repeatedly — and with support and encouragement from the White House and congressional Democrats — made his opinions known on a variety of American domestic issues, including immigration and gun control. The Presidents and the Arizona Law. We've pretty much had it with the attacks on Arizona and the self-debasement of our country by the president. We are the United States and Arizona is our soil, part of our country. Lately, however, there's been too much denigration of Arizona from the White House, and too much tearing down of Arizona for a law that is — if anything — more liberal than the federal law. Getting Lectured on Human Rights by Mexico. The Obama administration is deeply embarrassed by the legislators of Arizona. ... At a joint press conference with Mexico's president, Felipe Calderon, who recently described the Arizona law as "violating the human rights of all people," President Obama delivered a message to "the American people and to the Mexican people" that his administration was taking a hard look at the "troubling" law. Constitutionally Dangerous. It was bad enough when states began locking people up because of crimes they might commit in the future. Then, in 2006, Congress copied the idea, enacting a law that allows the indefinite civil commitment of federal prisoners who have completed their sentences but are deemed "sexually dangerous." Mexico's President Has Some Nerve. The Democrats thought that if they invited Mexican President Calderon to address a Joint Meeting of Congress this week that they could encourage him to use that solemn opportunity to take a swipe at Arizona's new immigration law. Well it backfired. The fact that an American administration would invite and incite a head of state to disrespect our nation is unconscionable. Illegal Immigration is Illegal in the USA. Contrary to popular belief, the word "immigration" does not appear anywhere in the US Constitution, which raises the question of whether or not the "immigration" issue is an enumerated power of the Federal government, constitutionally speaking. The term "naturalization" does appear in the US Constitution however... Call Them What They Are: Illegal Aliens. The push is on for providing amnesty to the estimated 12 to 20 million illegal aliens in this country. The supporters of this effort include President Barack Obama, former president George W. Bush, Senator John McCain, Majority Leader Harry Reid and New York Senator Chuck Schumer. Senator Schumer is now chairman of the immigration subcommittee previously chaired by the late Senator Ted Kennedy, a major amnesty proponent. Pro-immigration violence escalates. Blatant falsehoods about Arizona's new immigration law keep piling up. Not only is the substance of the law grossly distorted, the liberal media is demonizing anyone who supports the reform and minimizing any wrongs by those opposing it. Compare the media's hostile treatment of peaceful Tea Party protests to the sometimes violent leftist demonstrations against Arizona's law. No Tea Party demonstrators have been arrested during anti-government gatherings, and none has thrown rocks or broken bottles at police. Arizona Congressman Declines to Answer Question about Sealing the Border. Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.), who represents a congressional district that includes 300 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border, turned and walked away and did not answer when CNSNews.com asked him whether he was committed to sealing the border against the influx of illegal drugs. Catholic Church Facilitates Foreign Invasion. The controversy over Arizona's immigration law should be used to highlight the shameful role of the Roman Catholic Church in facilitating the foreign invasion of the U.S. This scandal deserves as much attention as the seemingly never-ending cases of sexual child abuse involving priests. No habla Ingles? No welfare. I have a big problem with giving my fellow American citizens welfare, so why ... would I want to extend the handouts to every freeloading illegal alien in the world? Auntie Zeituni, this means you! ... What exactly is Barack Obama doing proposing amnesty for millions of illegals but trying to gin up his vote for the fall? Son of Amnesty. Everyone with a brain wave knows the progressive drill: illegal immigrants aren't illegal, they're "undocumented." They do the work "Americans won't do." Because they've lived here illegally for x number of years, they are now entitled to live here. We may as well legalize them, because we can't possibly deport twelve million people. Enforcing border security is akin to "re-building the Berlin Wall" on our southern borders. And last, but not least, my personal favorite regarding an integrally related issue: requiring picture ID for voting is "unfair." Let's whack these odious notions one by one. The Great Arizona Shootout. It is not politically correct, but it has to be said. The impetus to furious objections to the new Arizona law that makes it a state crime to be in the United States illegally is primarily an effort by the organized Latino community to expand its political base and thus power. In this intense effort the Hispanic leaders have enlisted the support of elements in the Democrat party that enjoy an expanded and dependable voting bloc, and those in the Republican Party who seek to maintain an ever ready pool of cheap and/or seasonal labor. Pressure mounting to legalize immigrants. They've pushed and pulled, marched on the national Mall and issued demands — including some to the president, which the White House hustled to meet — and now, immigrant rights groups find they've forced immigration and legalization to the top of the crowded congressional agenda. An Age of Untruth. Almost everything said in association with "illegal immigration" is false. No, the now stalled fence is not a futile symbol of apartheid; in places where it is finished, it has discouraged illegal entry and reminded us that all counties have rights of autonomy. Do not believe that "illegal alien" is necessarily a hurtful or inexact term. Everyone who crosses the border without proper authorization is both doing something "illegal" (not a mere "infraction"), and is an alien (not a U.S. citizen; "alien" = "not of this place".) A Report From Camp Vigilance the MSM Doesn't Want You To Read: Now that the administration has proven it can make us eat a law that nobody wants, they're going to pull another dead rabbit out of the hat, and even the people who haven't been paying attention feel it coming. Amnesty. Not for people who've sent angry emails to their congressman. For illegal immigrants. It's already started. Obama's Greatest Crime: Obama and the leftwing of the Democratic Party intend to turn ten to eleven million illegal immigrants into voters as expeditiously as possible, giving them a permanent national electoral majority based upon a beholden Lumpenproletariat. If they succeed, our country will face mob rule. No individual who broke the law to enter this country should ever be allowed to decide who becomes our president, governor, senator — or town council member. If there is one message patriotic Americans must act upon during the remainder of Obama's reign, it's this: No voting rights for illegals. Violence on the border endangers Americans. Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, hears a lot of disturbing reports from Texas law enforcement officials working along the U.S. border with Mexico. Poe returned from his most recent trip to the Lone Star State claiming to have seen photographs taken by local sheriffs of Mexican military helicopters in action over U.S. territory. One copter was photographed hovering over a building; the other over a recreational vehicle park, according to the Examiner's Barbara Hollingsworth. "We don't know what their intention was," Poe told Hollingsworth, adding: "The Mexican military has no business coming into the United States." For Their Next Act. Having just steamrolled the American public on health care, our representatives who would be rulers may be about to turn their attention to "comprehensive immigration reform." That was the message sent by Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) Sunday as they mugged for the cameras on Meet the Press. The Obama Administration's Plot Against America. If the Health-Care Bill takes over one sixth of our economy, the Immigration Bill will hijack the entire country and end our way of life. Now that we understand the plot, we must step forward and define our strategies and tactics in order to defeat them. Our short-term mission should be the defeat of the populist Immigration Bill by replacing it with one that effectively reflects the interest of our country's long term well-being, and preventing Mr. Obama's re-election. Anything else favors Mr. Obama and is against the best interest of America. 7 Prickly Questions for ObamaCare: [#1] We used to hear, constantly, about 45 million uninsured people. ObamaCare will insure 32 million of 'em. Those left uncovered are, for the most part, illegal aliens, and the President wants to grant them the status of legal residents. Would that qualify them for ObamaCare and swell the ranks by half — and thereby increase costs by another half a trillion dollars? Faith in Open Borders. Joining with groups like ACORN, a wide coalition of Religious Left groups will march on Washington, D.C. on March 21 on behalf of eventual amnesty and largely open borders under the rubric of Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR). The National Council of Churches (NCC) is even hailing CIR as a "divine mandate" and a "patriotic act." Graham Pushes National I.D. Card. Meet the new bill — same as the old bill. Since 1986, Americans have been promised some variation of the three legged stool — amnesty, border protection, employer sanctions. Every time a bill passes, the illegals get the amnesty, the border remains open, and millions more illegally enter the country. Obama backs plan to legalize illegals. In their broad blueprint, Sens. Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, and Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, call for illegal immigrants to be put on a path to citizenship, offer green cards to keep high-skilled foreign university graduates and would create a temporary program for low-skilled workers, with some also getting the chance to become citizens. The senators also proposed to turn all Social Security cards into tamper-proof IDs to be checked by employers when they are about to hire a worker. Mexican flag has no place in an immigration march. I understand the feelings of the tens of thousands of people who marched on the National Mall yesterday in pursuit of immigration reform and, in particular, paths to citizenship for millions of undocumented workers. I understand their desire to live without fear of arrest, to simply do an honest day's work and to see their children thrive. I understand that our immigration system is haplessly dysfunctional and that major reforms are needed. What I don't understand is the claim by some at the march that those here illegally are somehow victims. The Administration's Phantom Immigration Enforcement Policy. Speaking at the Center for American Progress (CAP) on Nov. 13, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano declared victory over illegal immigration and announced that the Obama administration is ready to move forward with a mass amnesty for the millions of illegal aliens already living in the United States. What our founders couldn't foresee. This once-great nation is coming apart at the seams. ... America has always welcomed immigrants who come here to become Americans. Immigrants who come here with no intention of becoming Americans, or to become hyphenated Americans do not share our founders' belief system. Black nationalism rejects the founders' belief system, and curses the nation they created. The seams of American society are further tested as Muslim immigrants refuse to accept and integrate into American culture. Instead, Islam insists that America accept its veils, custom, and culture. Illegals: Welcome! The United States is apparently facing a critical shortage of illegal aliens. If you've spent any time in Tucson or Los Angeles, you might not recognize this emergency situation. But the illegal-alien deficit is so dire that special accommodations must be given to petty criminals, to make sure that they don't depart our shores. Acceding to pressure from illegal-alien advocates, the Obama administration has clarified that local law-enforcement agencies that have been deputized to enforce immigration law (this enforcement power is known as 287(g) authority) should focus on so-called "dangerous" illegals... How the FCC and Liberal Churches Are Scheming To Shut You Up. The "interfaith coalition for media justice" is led by the United Church of Christ. Yes, that's the same church of Obama's race-baiting, Jew-bashing ex-pastor Jeremiah Wright. Other members include the Presbyterian News Service, the Evangelical Lutheran Church and the National Council of Churches. These religious liberals have partnered with the National Hispanic Media Coalition, which filed a petition in January demanding that the FCC collect data, seek public comment and "explore options" for combating "hate speech" from staunch critics of illegal immigration. Obama Census Bureau To Count Illegal Aliens in Census? On the website of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) a press release from Obama's U.S. Census Bureau Director, Robert Groves, can be found. That press release appears to make obvious that the Bureau plans to count illegal aliens in our census. The press release was issued to America's Hispanic organizations to urge them to help with the coming census. Obama Won't Give Federal Insurance Benefits to Illegal Aliens, He'll Make Them Legal First. It is true that both the House and Senate health care bills as they are now drafted would make illegal aliens ineligible for federally funded health care. But President Obama has stated as recently as last month at a press conference in Mexico that he will seek "comprehensive immigration reform" legislation that will put illegal aliens on a "pathway to citizenship." Obama: Legalize illegals to get them health care. President Obama said this week that his health care plan won't cover illegal immigrants, but argued that's all the more reason to legalize them and ensure they eventually do get coverage. He also staked out a position that anyone in the country legally should be covered — a major break with the 1996 welfare reform bill, which limited most federal public assistance programs only to citizens and longtime immigrants. Obama's next push is amnesty. It is no surprise that, after passing health care "reform," President Obama plans to move on to his next big domestic initiative: granting citizenship to more than 12 million illegal immigrants. For decades, Beltway and business elites have championed a policy of open borders and unlimited Third World immigration. Amnesty is simply its logical culmination: the triumph of political and corporate interests over patriotism. Homeland Security's Goal: According to the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Border Patrol, the vast majority of illegal aliens and contraband attempting to move across our border through official ports of entry will succeed. In other words, our border security fails most of the time — not out in remote desert areas, but at official ports of entry where people and vehicles can be stopped and screened. Illegal-Alien Census Boycott? Bring It On! The Boston Globe reports that advocates for illegal aliens are urging their followers to boycott the 2010 census. They want illegal aliens to "protest the government's inaction on immigration legislation." Translated from liberal Boston Globe-speak, they mean legislation that would provide amnesty for the 15 million who are here illegally and would end the federal government's half-hearted efforts to enforce our immigration laws. I sure hope the boycotters are successful. Obama's war on Sherrif Joe Arpaio: You may have heard of Maricopa County, AZ Sheriff Joe Arpaio who has been a one man border enforcement machine — doing the job the feds refuse to do. Well, Joe got himself in a spot of trouble with Obama administration immigration enforcement officials at Homeland Security by rounding up 13 illegal immigrants and trying to deliver them to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. One would think that ICE would be grateful to Sheriff Joe for doing their work for them. The Myth that Liberals Care About Hispanic Americans: The liberals will tell you they're the best friends Hispanic immigrants have ever had because they believe anyone who manages to sneak across the border should be made into a citizen. Meanwhile, Hispanic immigrants in this country who spent years waiting and spent thousands of dollars in fees to get through a bureaucratic nightmare because they loved and respected this country, are being played for chumps. Bailing Out Illegals. California is a leader in both government debt and the sanctuary city movement. But as its citizens seek shelter from the economic storm, the question has arisen anew whether its non-citizens and the better life they want takes precedence over its citizens and the better life they are entitled to. In this mother of all recessions, it's getting harder to argue that illegal aliens are here to do the jobs Americans won't do. These days there are fewer jobs Americans won't do. These days there are fewer jobs, period. It's fair to ask whether those who are going to pull the wagon of higher taxes should get to decide who rides inside. The jobs conundrum. If unemployment is so high among young black men, why are we importing young Hispanic men from Mexico and El Salvador to do construction work and other manual labor? ... Surely, with unemployment among the young black community at above 30 percent, some of these projects could hire black kids to do the hard work of construction. Why don't they? Harry Reid's Assault on American Workers. What Reid means by "bringing 11 million people out of the shadows" is making illegal immigrants legal — thus rewarding illegal behavior and encouraging further illegal immigration. What he means by a "decent guest-worker program" is giving employers the power to import foreign workers into the United States and keep those workers laboring here in a status that is inferior to a free American citizen or permanent legal resident. Goodbye, Gringo America. L.A. Latinos celebrate the Farce of July. It's payback time for white America. "America's Palestinians" are on the march, chanting "Ahora es la tiempo por audacia"! Thousands of Latinos are gathering this Independence Day to celebrate the Farce of July. This annual all-day concert and street fair is held on Cesar Chavez Avenue in East Los Angeles — the heart of the barrio. E-Verify works, so, of course, let's not use it. With billions of your federal tax dollars gushing forth from Washington — as part of President Barack Obama's stimulus bill to put Americans back to work — wouldn't it be nice if someone invented a special magic faucet? A magic faucet to compel those federal contractors doing all the hiring with all that federal money to make certain the jobs go to people who are legally entitled to work in the United States. Is that kind of magic too much for a beleaguered taxpayer to expect? Actually, the faucet has already been invented. It's called E-Verify. And it works. How Liberal Is San Francisco? The District Attorney of San Francisco worked on behalf of illegal aliens in order to expunge drug convictions from their records. And she now says that the illegal aliens were "following the rules." One must read this sort of gibberish three or four three times to make sure that the words are not truncated or a reporter's very bad joke. Five Ways that Insanity Has Become the New Normal in America: Although we have laws on the books designed to prevent illegal immigration, they are systematically ignored or the people in charge of enforcing them are deliberately understaffed so they can't fulfill their duties. Bizarrely, people who merely suggest that the laws on our books should actually be enforced are derided as racists and nativists. Workers using fake Social Security numbers are fired — and the union is upset. Computer 'raid' in Vernon leaves factory workers devastated. "A desktop raid" is how the workers' representative, John M. Grant, vice president of Local 770 of the United Food and commercial Workers International Union, described the scenario. Overhill, a $200-million-a-year company that provides frozen meals for clients such as American Airlines, Panda Express, Safeway and Jenny Craig, says it had no choice: An Internal Revenue Service audit found that 260 workers had provided "invalid or fraudulent" Social Security numbers. The government took no action against the workers. But Overhill did: All of the employees were fired May 31. Napolitano's Politically Correct Border Security. Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano is determined to beef up security along the rough and tumble Canadian border. That's right, Canada. ... A good bet is that our Canadian friends are merely foils for Obama and Democrats whose first priority is party building. Entrenching a Democratic majority is higher on their list than stopping the flow of illegals and crime from Mexico. Powerful Democrat Calls Illegal Aliens 'Free Loaders and Scam Artists'. Most liberals regard illegal aliens as "Undocumented Democrats" and a veritable gold mine of opportunity for holding on to political power by coddling to those here unlawfully. For that reason, most Democrat politicians have abandoned patriotic concern about homeland security, the rule of law, stability of the American economy and social order, and preservation of American language and culture. In fact, one can search high and low for a liberal with a patriotic, pro-America stance on illegal immigration, and that search will usually be futile. Immigration and Self-Preservation. I will be the first to admit to being annoyed by automated phone instructions that direct me to press "one" for English and "two" for Spanish. It is more than a minor inconvenience. It is a matter of principle. If immigrants are to make a meaningful contribution to society they must do a little work before they are given all of society's benefits. That includes taking the time to learn English. The Apology Obama Should Have Given. America is the only country founded on the basis that basic human freedom and liberty are granted by God and not man. America is a shining light beckoning oppressed people of foreign lands to emigrate and live the ideals and dreams that are America. We only require that the immigrants assimilate into American culture. Shall We Texans Secede? Okay, I guess we Texans won't secede. We love our country too much to abandon it to the Obama crowd. But it is tempting. If we did secede, you can count on one thing: the border with Mexico would be secured pretty darned fast. Supreme Court makes it easier to fight deportation. The Supreme Court has made it easier for illegal immigrants seeking to avoid deportation to get another chance at a court hearing. The decision came in the case of Jean Marc Nken, who came to the United States in 2001 and did not leave when his visa expired. Pelosi Tells Illegal Immigrants That Work Site Raids are Un-American. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently told a group of both legal and illegal immigrants and their families that enforcement of existing immigration laws, as currently practiced, is "un-American." The speaker, condemning raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, referred to the immigrants she was addressing as "very, very patriotic." Hillary, Pelosi in la-la-land on immigration. Last week Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) described the law-enforcement activities of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as "un-American." Which triggers the question — since when is enforcing federal law by a federal agency "un-American"? ... Pelosi's comments reveal just how out of touch she is — like most of her party's leadership — with most Americans. Delay in Immigration Raids May Signal Policy Change. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has delayed a series of proposed immigration raids and other enforcement actions at U.S. workplaces in recent weeks, asking agents in her department to apply more scrutiny to the selection and investigation of targets as well as the timing of raids, federal officials said. Obama Census Plan: No Illegal Alien Left Behind. I have seen the electoral future, and it is rigged. With fraud-prone, ideologically driven interest groups swarming the census-gathering process, the left is solidifying its chances of a permanent ruling majority. Lax immigration enforcement is the not-so-secret key to the Democrats' power grab. And the Obama administration is all too happy to aid and abet. Border plants to be killed to reveal smugglers. The U.S. Border Patrol plans to poison the plant life along a 1.1-mile stretch of the Rio Grande riverbank as soon as Wednesday to get rid of the hiding places used by smugglers, robbers and illegal immigrants. Hundreds wait for hours to buy S.F. ID card. Hundreds of people stood in line for hours at San Francisco City Hall on Thursday to be among the first in the nation to receive municipal identification cards regardless of their immigration status. The cards, also available in New Haven, Conn., and being considered in other cities, have sparked fury among advocates of stricter immigration laws. They argue cities have no business declaring people residents if they are not in the country legally. 16 illegals sue Arizona rancher. An Arizona man who has waged a 10-year campaign to stop a flood of illegal immigrants from crossing his property is being sued by 16 Mexican nationals who accuse him of conspiring to violate their civil rights when he stopped them at gunpoint on his ranch on the U.S.-Mexico border. Roger Barnett, 64, began rounding up illegal immigrants in 1998 and turning them over to the U.S. Border Patrol, he said, after they destroyed his property, killed his calves and broke into his home. Update: Rancher ruling adds to border debate. Arizona rancher Roger Barnett initially faced the possibility of paying $32 million to compensate several illegal immigrants he stopped at gunpoint on his land. He walked away instead with a verdict that rejected any notion he violated the trespassers' civil rights and affirmed that U.S. citizens can still detain aliens crossing the border. What remains to be seen, though, is what impact the $77,800 in damages that a jury Tuesday ordered Mr. Barnett to pay will have on America's larger immigration debate and the efforts of some illegals to get compensation from a country they aren't even allowed to enter. Foreign aid? The $787 billion stimulus bill is about as long as the Manhattan phone book and as full of surprises. We just found another doozy. Democratic leaders slipped in a provision eliminating a law requiring that workers on federal contracts prove they are citizens or legal residents of the United States. The eliminated provision includes a program called "E-verify" that allows employers to quickly access federal databases to check the legal status of workers — all but avoiding the risk that forged documents will fool an innocent employer into hiring an illegal. Dream Over: Illegal Alien Student Amnesty Awakens to Fiscal Reality. Even as the illegal alien advocacy lobby is frantically trying to spin the election of Barack Obama as a mandate for a sweeping amnesty, they have all but conceded that the economic crisis and worsening unemployment have probably doomed their efforts. Fallout from DPS rule change for immigrant licenses: A prominent Latino civil rights organization today [1/28/2009] filed a lawsuit in state district court challenging the Texas Department of Public Safety's policy requiring proof of legal immigration status, claiming it has denied driver's licenses to qualified applicants. The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund argued in the lawsuit that DPS overstepped its authority by issuing the stricter requirement. New England border protection chief charged with hiring illegal immigrants. The regional director of Homeland Security, Customs, and Border Protection was charged today with repeatedly hiring illegal immigrants to clean her Salem home after one cleaner wore a wire during an undercover investigation. ... "She's supposed to be deporting aliens, not hiring them," said Assistant US Attorney Brian T. Kelly, chief of the public corruption unit. Where did the illegals go and why? They are leaving. Illegal immigrants, that is. Analysts from both ends of the immigration debate, from the Center for Immigration Studies to the Pew Hispanic Center, agree. The "unlawfully present" population in the United States has shrunk — and it's getting smaller. According to Pew, there has been a drop in the annual illegal "inflow" of people to the country since 2005. And the numbers of those already here is going down. It peaked at 12.4 million in 2006 and is down by about 1 million now. With the economy souring, illegal immigrants are going home.
